Those over the horizon radar sites should possibly be ready sometime in 2045. If they work at all after massive cost overruns and delays.

Didn't Obama once mention something about the 'junior varsity team'? It seems to me that that accurately describes the Unites States going back to, at least, Clinton.

And when I read this post about the Ukraine fighters and their being hemmed in by Russia like sheep in a pen about to be slaughtered, my mind can't help but think about McConnell and Graham and the claim that we are somehow strengthening our own country on the back of worthless Ukraine lives. Worthless to them, not to me.

Then we have Israel ready to wipe out a whole race of people.

I read that Gaza is 70 square miles and contains two million people. For comparison's sake, the independent City of St. Louis, i.e., not part of adjacent St. Louis County, is about 61.72 square miles. The population is currently about 284,000 people. From what I've seen in images, Gaza is more densely built-up than St. Louis. Imagine trying to raze most of St. Louis and kill its people. Then imagine the same scenario for Gaza.

The mind staggers at the indifference to the loss of men's lives. It is said that violent playing video games makes young people unaware of the reality of war and carnage. McConnell and Graham are in their 80s and 70s and probably don't play video games. What's their excuse?
