The numbers speak from themselves. Since NATO Allies agreed that we'd each spend 2% of GDP on our own national defenses, we've seen 9 straight years of increases.

I talked to @grok about Ukraine and Russia having peace talks.

Russia is ready for talks now

Ukraine may never be ready for talks because its 3 preconditions are all unattainable

1 Territorial Restoration
2 Security Guarantees
3 Military Strength

Russia is indeed open to talks where things can be negotiated right now

Ukraine isn’t opposed to negotiations __ but __ it demands certain things be in place first Image
More weapons and equipment give Ukraine a fighting chance, but a shrinking force undermines their effectiveness over time. Russia’s numerical edge could grind Ukraine down unless casualties or economic collapse force Moscow to relent firstImage

This ruling is absolutely insane!

How on Earth are we supposed to stop fraud and waste of taxpayer money without looking at how money is spent?

That’s literally impossible!
