    The assumptions are in the link. The projection presupposes historically average variations.

    I would hope they would be - what we call "citation" it is when one provides support for claim by citing from a link .. rather than just posting a link as we see a number folks doing - but this is moronic and hence a violation of policy but not near as ridiculous as thinking it is up to others to prove one's own claim .. such would be idiocy do not you agree ?

    No. I think you are merely trying to complain. I cited from a link.

    It was increased and not cut. Where did you come up with this?

    Listening to the campaigns. It's going broke, either we increase taxes or cut benefits. It's an intermittent problem depending on how much distraction is needed. It will come up again, try to remember this conversation when it does.

    Na, they can just print more dollars to spend half of the next $700 billion on Green Initiatives all while stating the money is for a Stimulus Reduction Act.

    Government never seems to be hurting to waste money elsewhere.

    Gotta wonder what the Kremlin Napoleon is thinking now. Perhaps he is having some regrets over escalating things for the sake of trying to please the hardliners?

    At any rate, as I've been saying, it's a no-win scenario for him. He can't win this no matter what he does or does not do. At least more lives should be saved now that more air defense is headed to Ukraine.

    I think he's just interested in creating as much damage as he can now he knows he can't have what he wants.
    I think that's the point of Putin it's not that he can steal things; its' the thrill of knowing he can do it and that nobody can do anything about it. It's like when he stole the Glass Kalashnikov from the Guggenheim; a quick nod to his body guards and off they went or Kraft's superbowl ring. It's not the desire to possess things it's the simple physical act of stealing something knowing that he can do it and he can get away with - a power trip. Now he's come up against people that have said "hold on mate, you can't have it" so if he can't have it then nobody can.

    Unless those gains are given by the other party. Some play chess better than others. Sacrificing pieces for strategic advantage is a very old tactic.

    You should not laugh at things you obviously know nothing about.

    Our press has the right to call a war what it is, and to criticize our government and military.

    So what's the plan? Get your spetznaz merced by Ukrainian militia in their shitty wooden planes? Issue century old weapons like you're the some shitty PDF in 40k?
    Send conscripts to die as cannon fodder with no training or proper equipment?
    Tell the class what the advantage of getting your **** pushed in is.
