    The article clearly states that the layoffs are not the result of a budget reduction chosen by
    the Biden Administration, but instead because the Republican Party controls the House of
    Representatives, creating uncertainty about whether NASA will recieve its expected funding
    in a timely manner.

    And if it was the United States that was in immediate danger of being conquered by Russia,
    I certainly would hope you wouldn't be complaining about your country spending the money
    needed to prevent that from succeeding. Do you somehow think that Ukrainians are not
    human beings?

    Haha, American paranoia.
    Russia wants to conquer the US, not the other way around, the good old cold war fear?
    US spends $800 billions on defense, Russia $60 billion!
    ??

    I guess timid little Biden's "sanctions" (like the ones on Iran) did F---- all, considering Russia has the fastest-growing economy in the entire European region.
    The large world looked at the conflict and said, "Eh." And India took up ALL the slack left when the "principled" Germans cut their use of Russian gas.

    14th greatest American President. Competent and ethical. Everything
    you hate in a leader.
