>> Or for that matter how they intend to fight China. This is a critical point.
As though you’d know, spaniard.
You’re blowing clueless propaganda smoke with an air of authority that is, in reality, not yours to wield.
P.S. HIMARS *are* essential to our warfighting capability, they *are* being depleted, and the lead time to replenish them (and certain other armaments, most notably SAMs) is long to VERY long. I have the receipts.
Instead of blowing phony propaganda smoke here, why don’t you lobby your own government to step up to the plate, spaniard?

You live in Europe. This is a European war. Spend your own damn treasure on it, you thieving parasite.
How do you know? You must be one of Turdeau’s slackers.
Because of the war in Ukraine, the United States, other NATO countries and allies outside of NATO are increasing weapons research, development, manufacturing capacity, and production.
The Zeepers use Alinsky tactics and project on to others what is happening with their own interest.
They are very leftist.
She is a Zeeper kind of journalist.
War is the health of the state.
The state is not your friend.
Because the pension funds are required by law to buy Ukraine sovereign debt, which no money manager in the world would buy except at gunpoint.
They use leverage, so giving the money to the pension funds is multiplying its effect by a factor of 2 or 3. It works unless the value of the notes drops by more than 30% from here, which probably won’t happen since the Biden admin would undoubtedly backstop the debt.
You are comparing Russia with America. That is erroneous comparison.
A better comparison must be with a smaller nation........ Mexico or Chile for instance.
The population of all of Russia is less than the Indonesian island of Java
If Russia loses big in Ukraine this spring and summer... Then Putin will be killed, ousted or both. This fake Tsar has six months to win or die.
So, why do you keep pushing to keep the war going?
While we may or may not be wearing down Russia, we are foolishly also weakening the U.S., as well as, Europe & N.A.T.O.
Had Biden & the RINOs not facilitated the theft of an election, Trump would have ended the hostilities that had gone on there since 2014.
I totally agree. I would add China has a lot more to gain by acquiring resources in their backyard, I.e. Russia, than fighting any foreign wars across the globe. Stalin and Hitler were big buddy’s too for a short time. How long will Putin and Xi be big buds?
I do know, dingbat (the dingbats being of course a proud people with a rich history and a culture which must be respected - necessary disclaimer).
If one cares to take a look at the map of East Asia and the Western Pacific, you will find that it is principally made up of water. Indeed, nearly every land mass that the US and its allies intend to hold on to is separated by hundreds of miles of the damp stuff from any part of China. And if the US wants to reduce the Chinese capacity to do this sort of thing it and its allies will need the means to shoot at, say, the ports, shipyards and airfields of China from a considerable distance.
For the Chinese to get anywhere they will have to sail the ocean blue. And so they will have to be fought in the sea and air. And getting practical here, the relevant weapons are, besides aircraft, long range antiship and land attack missiles. And if the US wants to reduce the Chinese capacity to do this sort of thing it and its allies will need the means to shoot at, say, the ports, shipyards and airfields of China, from a considerable distance.
Things like the TASM - the latest Tomahawk antiship variant, which is badly delayed and in short supply, or the Air Force https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AGM-158C_LRASM
The normal HIMARS GLMRS munition is too short ranged (80km) to be relevant. Even the ATACMS munition has limited utility. It would reach the Chinese fortified islands in the South China sea from, say, Palawan island or a good slice of coastal Fujian from Taiwan, but thats it. And its useless against moving targets. And the US is not supplying ATACMS to Ukraine.
As for SAMS - which US SAMS are being depleted in Ukraine? Whayt proportion of launchers in service in US forces are deployed there? Yes, show the receipts.
So, go down the list of your annoyances, and given the nature of the forces and geography of the region (yes, look at a map), keeping in mind that the US is NOT going to fight a “land war in Asia” if it can possibly help it, let me know what you think - in detail, having done your homework, and having applied the entirety of your brain to the questions you turn up. I despise lazy people btw.
Right, destroying the conventional military power of our regional rival, Russia is weakening the US and NATO. NATO who is now welcoming its newest member Finland.
Hopium is a helluva drug. You are getting high on your own supply Cuck Canuck.
Russia can end the war overnight and stop their bleeding.
All they have to do is leave the territories they took in 2022.
The aid the US and NATO have provided Ukraine is a negligible fraction of the GDP’s of these countries. There is no “weakening”.
Trump certainly would have prevented this war, no question. It was the Biden administrations gross errors that left Putin with the idea that he could get away with his aggression. Trump, for one, would never have permitted Nordstream II.
Number one, I don’t march to your orders, spaniard parasite.
Number two, I already DID show the receipts. To you. Go back and look. I despise lazy people btw.
