App engine deploys are soooo slow. I liked cloud run a lot more.

Why post an AI summary if you know it's wrong?

People want to see who is the best at X. As long as someone cares who is better at X, people will try to be the best. It's that simple.

Yeah, I've encountered people who insisted on using this structure. I was not too fond of it.

My dad had something like this that hooked up to his computer in the 90's.

I enjoy riding on the Silver Comet Trail in Georgia. It's 62 miles long and then connects to another trail in Alabama. It's really nice.

Does that involve wrecking their economy and killing hundreds of thousands of males in a rapidly declining population?

The US occupied the country for 20 years. Staying just became unpopular. The US lost about as many troops in 20 years as Russia loses in 2 days of fighting in Ukraine.

The Budapest Memorandum was negotiated at political level, but it is not entirely clear whether the instrument is devoid entirely of legal provisions. It refers to assurances, but unlike guarantees, it does not impose a legal obligation of

We can barely pass a bill to continue funding OUR government. It doesn't mean it won't eventually get done.

My comment is ignorant because a large portion of America could care less about defending Europe? I guess I'll try and educate 100 million Americans before commenting again… Thanks for explaining that every country has motives behind i

The EU's military commitments narrowly edge out US military commitments before a new bill is approved. This does not take away from the larger point of the US not being a bad partner to Ukraine or that the US cannot be trusted as a par

I would say the rest of the Republicans have ignored or shrugged off his comments more than agree with them.

by cglace 3y ago
My point, as I'm sure you are aware, is that the US is by far the largest supporter of Ukraine. The fact that the entire world narrowly edges out the US regarding military support does not detract from that fact. As I've said, I a

Only 31% of the US believes we are providing too much support to Ukraine.
78.
by cglace 3y ago
Well, of course, do you think the US is going to donate its aircraft carriers, F-35s, F-22s, B-2s, and nuke subs to Ukraine? The US isn't spending trillions on artillery rounds.

by cglace 3y ago
But does it change the more significant point of the US being Ukraine's most important partner in terms of military support? I was countering the narrative that the US is not a good partner. As internet forums do, everyone globbed onto

by cglace 3y ago
Yeah, especially when Europeans have mocked the US for decades for spending too much on its military while relying on security guarantees for their protection.

And the stockpiles of artillery, long-range munitions, armor, ammo, guns, etc sent? The US really can't win. If we didn't support Ukraine we would be blasted. If we do it's because we are just trying to enrich ourselves.

by cglace 3y ago
Fair in what way? My point isn't about who is better. My point is that the US has been an extremely crucial partner to Ukraine, in terms of countries, _the_ most crucial partner. My feeling from the interactions on this forum is that E

I don't see how that means you can't trust America. A large % does not equal a majority. Look at polling to see where the majority of US sentiment lies. Similarly, if you look at surveys of Germans, you will see that a large % do

Sorry, I'll rephrase: the US has delivered roughly equivalent military aid to Ukraine as the rest of the world combined. Does that diminish my point? I guess that means the US cannot be trusted.

by cglace 3y ago
Oh man, the EU plus the rest of the world are eking it out before the US passes another spending bill. . . This also includes long-term commitments that have not yet been delivered. EU promising to provide 1 million artillery shells two yea

You cherry-pick tanks as your metric? Why don't we look at the totality of American deliveries, including long-range munitions and artillery, and see who comes ahead? What equivalent of game-changing ordnance, such as the GDSLB, are Eu

If you go by military support of Ukraine, this is not true. It's only valid if you include things like humanitarian support. If the US passes its support bill, it would be on equal footing with all aid to Ukraine from Europe, including

by cglace 3y ago
It looks like your charts include things like refugee aid costs, which make up a large percentage of European aid. If you remove these costs and go strictly by military support, which is what we are talking about, then my point stands.

by cglace 3y ago
The US has provided more funding to Ukraine than the world combined by a large margin, and the lesson you take away is that the US is somehow at fault. The one bill that was blocked by Congress would be more support than Europe as a whole h
