    There is only one thing worse than being unprepared for the war you started. It is being unprepared for the next one, because your adversary controls the periodic table.

    Boy too bad that strategic mineral reserve the US built during the cold war was auctioned off for pennies on the dollar to well connected single-person corporations. Though obviously it was for the best since the US would have just used it for it’s war machine, but hey maybe it could have used it to build infrastructure.

    This is how the war will end, not with a bang but a whimper.

    So now it’s clear why the cease fire was unilaterally extended. The USA ran through it’s stockpile like so many fireworks and can’t fight anymore without being unable to defend itself.

    “Old man prematurely shoots his load, now looking at his tiny limp penis. Seeks Viagra from the guy in the neighborhood who he owes most of his money to and who he’s had serious slanging with”

    Apart from my silly analogy, this just looks worse and worse for out US cousins living under that hateful regime.

    Very early on i heard some commentary that putin was demanding his client state spend down large amounts of it’s stockpile. And look what we have here.
