The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Yet you seem to be OK with Ukraine forcing the USA to send money for as long it takes.

??????

That is a...unique...perspective. Is that what the RW propaganda machine is telling you? Seriously, Mike...

Ukraine is not forcing us to do anything. What I'm OK with is spending a few bucks to tie-down one of the three biggest enemies we have, that democracy has. They're spending their military, they're trashing their economy, and, potentially, Putin could be ousted if it gets bad enough. That last one is a bit of a long-shot, but if the economy gets bad enough, the common Russian person will take to the streets. As long as Ukraine is willing to bear the hardship of war, it is putting America first to supply them.

All without putting one American boot on the ground. A bargain, really.
