If only he listened to Patton on Russia….

Yeah, we should have deployed 3,000,000 men to Russia with775,000 casulties.

Maybe if you use a term to try and make yourself look smart , you should know what the actual term is.

Welp. Since the Clueless President, whose policies allowed, and are still allowing almost unimpeded access to the country, just stood idly by for years, the states in crisis had to do something.
Hey, if that move was so ineffective, why did Biden and the Feds force the shipping containers removal? Because maybe they actually were working? What a concept.
Paul just can’t stand being caught in a lie again.

I think shipping containers could make a pretty effective wall if stacked two high.

I no longer look at America with the rose-colored glasses I used to.

PS - I'm assuming you were joking on the Patton comment - that would've been a total blood bath. Like today, I don't think we could've won a war like that unless we used nukes.

What Bobbie and others fail to forget are the lessons of Hitler and Napoleon in Russia.

There are only two truths.
- Never get involved in a land war in Asia and never go against a Sicilian when death is on the line.

In seriousness, no. I don’t want war with the Russians and we clearly didn’t learn enough from them and Alexander the Great on Afghanistan.

So why are you fighting them now via a proxy.

Be better than handing out phones with an app to remind them of their Court date in a few years.

100. Which is what they were doing.
And since Mayor Pete couldn’t handle the supply chain very well, there were plenty of empty Cargo Containers to be used.

If this was directed at me I flipped it on purpose.

Maybe you could ask me why instead of bringing snark. Oh, and I hope you don’t move to get me banned as I wonder how hard it is for you to put your armband on each day. What color is it supposed to be this month?

BTW, your crusades against posters on this board are pathetic.

Cool story bro. I find your condescending attitude toward people that don’t agree with you about as useless as Biden and trump and what you think are “facts.” But you do you
