    We’re still talking Putin right? Not Trump’s Iran debacle? I suppose it’s technically not a meat grinder… yet… we’ll see what he does after the midterms.

      As much as I hate Trump, he’s got nothing on Putin yet. A few dozen American soldiers have died, and many suffered, but it’s nothing like what’s happening with Russian soldiers and infrastructure. People are not being drafted yet either. He’s cost a lot of money, but there’s not hundreds of thousands of men dying in an invasion.

            Sure, but psychologically he’s 12. Gambling on a man who admittedly has one foot over the grave and the other on a banana peel dropping dead before millions of Americans get a dirt nap in war(s) none of them want to be a part of seems… reckless. I know gambling is more American than mom and apple pie, especially lately, but maybe don’t put your children up for collateral to a loan shark.
