@timehascome14 @CoQueenBee Regarding money, most of it wasn’t cash, it was weapons. Even cash that Ukraine received is in some American defense contractor’s pocket by now. It’s coming straight back to American economy.
@timehascome14 @CoQueenBee Fog of war is a thing. It takes time for proper information to come from the field to president. It was an Air Defense missile, which wouldn’t be launched in the first place if Russia wasn’t launching missiles. It’s Russia’s fault.
@JulesB1013@Saiko0000000@CassandraRules The fact that territory controlled by Russia in the start of invasion is no longer held by Russia. Kyiv offensive failed, Kherson and Kharkiv are both controlled by Ukraine.
@timehascome14 @CoQueenBee Zelensky’s proposal for peace is simple: Russia should pull its troops out of Ukraine’s territory. Russia can achieve peace instantly. Why is Russia not seeking peace? He wouldn’t have inadvertently shot rocket to Poland if Russia wasn’t lunching rockets in the first place.
@Shepardofmaine Because of a little thing called “sovereignty”. Once ex Soviet states gained independence, they were free to join whatever alliance they wanted and host whoever’s based they wanted.
@RevChicoMaresz @robertjlundberg @laurenboebert Just as letting them annex Crimea made the war end. Caving in to Russia just makes Russia crave for more. They would be attacking Kherson, Kyiv and Kharkiv as soon as they were able to rearm.
@MEGACHAD9001@BlairHoughton@elizableu With example of GDPR, EU can impose fines of €10M or 2% of global turnover in previous year for violation. Some American companies already got fines, such as Amazon (€746M), Meta (€405M), and Google (€90M).
@MEGACHAD9001@BlairHoughton@elizableu But corporations operating in foreign countries can absolutely face consequences in countries they operate. Furthermore, EU regulations can reach even outside EU borders, as for example GDPR.
@mario_zapper@StevenPremel@elizableu Twitter has subsidiaries and remote workers in the EU. European countries generally have stricter labor laws than the US.
@JamesBe35860175 US Military had no issues against Taliban on the battlefield. It gained control of most of the territory in opening months of the invasion. Building a stable puppet government was the issue.
