    From ScottW@21:1/5 to All on Mon Nov 21 16:34:18 2022
    or extend the war far beyond Ukraine borders.

    Nope.

    Let's say Russia does get forced to retreat on the ground from all of Ukraine's territory.
    But continues to pound Ukraine civilian infrastructure from afar.
    Then what?

    You do realize that air defense missiles cost more than the missiles and drones they're shooting down
    and will never be 100% effective.
    I never expected dems to become the forever war party....but times have clearly changed.

    Democrats were all in for Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan, so I don't know
    why you'd be surprised.
