Ukraine ping

Navy Patriot: [Poor Zelensky, he breaks his toys so quickly.]


For whatever reason, including the possibility that Biden is on Putin’s payroll, the man is throttling military supplies to Ukraine. European NATO countries are now starting to bridle at Biden’s restrictions on what they are allowed to send and are contemplating breaking the Biden arms embargo, even in breach of end user restrictions imposed on European buyers of US arms. Whether they follow through may determine whether Ukraine holds fast or is overrun.

In WW2, the US sent 14,000 planes and 13,000 tanks to Russia. Biden has sent 0 planes and two dozen tanks. More importantly, he has prevented allies from sending US-sourced weaponry. Will they give Biden the finger and finally break Biden’s equipment logjam? We shall find out in the days ahead. They are probably betting that if he imposes sanctions on them for sending advanced gear to Ukraine, he will lose the vote of national security-focused independents, maybe costing him the election.

Biden's purpose for Zelensky and Ukraine is simple personal graft.

Biden's plans for election is to cheat better than he did last time.

Biden doesn't give a crap about "national security-focused independents".

Is it Biden or is it this cabal of small-minded Republicans who want to spite him so much that they'll create a major Russian success story in Europe? In WW2 Republicans who hated Roosevelt nonetheless backed his war effort for the good of the country. Not here. Not now.
