Ignoring all the obvious bad decisions, what were they trying to accomplish? Even if that was wired correctly in a breaker panel enclosure I can't figure out why it would be placed in a location that had a shower head pointed at it.

Stop it chat, you're bumming me out.
I don't know but I think it's fair to say if it becomes necessary to ask those questions then you went too far.
That's assuming Boeing parts work as intended which, putting it generously, seems to be less likely than it once was.
I never said it wasn't the US's responsibility to defend Ukraine I said we're clearly not going to continue to do it. If you want to play the blame game we could talk about how it was a mistake for Europe to accept the situation you described but they wanted to spend their defense budgets on other domestic projects so they let the US take on a role they never should have outsourced.
At the end of the day it doesn't really matter how we got here. The fact remains that Europe is going to have to sort this one out with drastically reduced assistance from the US. Are you guys going to step up and fill the void or are you going to be satisfied watching Ukraine become a vassal state to Russia because it was supposed to be someone else's job to stop that from happening?
We're definitely not looking at a good time on the home front that's for sure. I agree with the rest of what you said as well. People don't seem to like it being pointed out to them though. Perhaps they think Trump will not pull funding from Ukraine but if I had to bet on all the things Trump will do over the next four years that would be in my top 3.
There's so much oversupply in general, why would anyone else increase their output to 3/tanks?
I think the why should be pretty obvious at this point.
Absolutely. If I had my way we would be giving Ukraine everything they ask for and more. Unfortunately that's not the world we live in. My point is that European apathy is just as much to blame for the situation we find ourselves in as the instability in the US. Europe has allowed, and continues to allow, the situation to become hopeless without US support and that can't be blamed on the US.
Yeah those voters aren't turning against Republicans. Trump will piss enough people off that, if there's a free and fair election in 2028, Democrats will win. However, every problem Trump causes will get blamed on Democrats, who won't win a large enough majority to override their token centrist villains and pass meaningful reform, so we'll end up with another even crazier Republican administration in 2032. From there climate change fucks us all up and we die in the water wars of 2035 or the great famine of 2038 or some other horrible thing that we're too stupid to address before it slaps us in the face.
