Well... bye.
I straight up don’t care
We’re not your friggin ATM asshole.
The hallmark of a good scam is they never leave money on the table. Z will go to his estate in a foreign country when the people that installed him tell him the money is drying up. That’s years away. Many in Congress openly admit they “care” more about Ukraine than Americans.
Y-y-you mean they’re not winning? What will happen to all the pensions?
He’s not wrong. Russia would have equally been defeated by Germany without US and British supplies and Allied attacks on Germany, including air raids that razed big chunks of German cities. For instance, the US sent 14,000 airplanes and 13,000 tanks to Russia, including ~5,000 of the Airacobra, a fighter first made in 1941.
Nikita Khrushchev offered the same opinion.
“If the United States had not helped us, we would not have won the war,” he wrote in his memoirs. “One-on-one against Hitler’s Germany, we would not have withstood its onslaught and would have lost the war. No one talks about this officially, and Stalin never, I think, left any written traces of his opinion, but I can say that he expressed this view several times in conversations with me.”
The United States provided the Soviet Union with more than 400,000 jeeps and trucks, 14,000 aircraft, 8,000 tractors and construction vehicles, and 13,000 battle tanks.
However, the real significance of Lend-Lease for the Soviet war effort was that it covered the “sensitive points” of Soviet production — gasoline, explosives, aluminum, nonferrous metals, radio communications, and so on, says historian Boris Sokolov.
“In a hypothetical battle one-on-one between the U.S.S.R and Germany, without the help of Lend-Lease and without the diversion of significant forces of the Luftwaffe and the German Navy and the diversion of more than one-quarter of its land forces in the fight against Britain and the United States, Stalin could hardly have beaten Hitler,” Sokolov wrote in an essay for RFE/RL’s Russian Service.]
They are going to lose either way. Why postpone it.
So, it’s time to call for a cease-fire and negotiations for peace. But Zelensky can’t make any demands now (he could have made some in 2022, but it’s too late now). Zelensky should resign and live in his British mansion, and let someone else, someone friendlier with Russia take the lead and maybe get a better deal. But if Ukraine lets Biden’s people participate, expect no favors.
They will lose with or without the aid. The Ukrainian people are tired of being cannon fodder in a proxy war. The median age of a Ukrainian soldier is 42. The draft age minimum is set at 27. Zelensky tried to lower it to 25 and was met by stiff resistance from the public.
How many billions more must we borrow to prolong this unwinnable conflict that has been ongoing since 2014?
They’re going to lose no matter what. The sooner they lose the fewer lives will be lost. The sooner we stop sending more of our money, the less of our money will be wasted and stolen.
YUP! It does not matter a whit — Ukraine Is Going To Lose!

EUROSAM GIE - "EUROSAM is the leading French-Italian Joint Venture in Europe that designs, produces, sells, exports and maintains, long range ground and naval based air defense systems."
European Ground-Based Air Defense Programs
European Capabilities
Europe’s defence industry has a number of champions in the field of anti-aircraft missiles. First and foremost is MBDA, a joint subsidiary of Airbus (37.5%), BAE Systems (37.5%) and Leonardo (25%), resulting from the merger of Matra BAe Dynamics, Aerospatiale Matra Missiles and Alenia Marconi Systems.
After winning a large contract from France and Italy for missiles of the Aster family signed at the end of the year (approximately EUR 2 Bn), MBDA signed for the supply of CAMM medium-range missiles to Poland. The European missile builder has already secured more orders amounting to EUR 4 Bn in four months.
Thales produces high-quality radars and Command and Control (C2) capabilities for air defence systems, in addition to well-known missiles such as StarStreak and LMM. Germany has the support of Diehl, which produces the IRIS-T missile and its land-based version, in both short- and medium-range variants.
Added to this, in April 2022, Diehl and Hensoldt decided to intensify their cooperation. Swedish manufacturer Saab produces the RBS70, which includes its NG version. The company also offers radar such as the Giraffe 1X multi-mission 3D. In partnership with Raytheon, Norway’s Kongsberg has been developing the National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile System (NASAMS) whose model 3 is already fully operational.
Lower Layers of Air Defense
The return of the threat of so-called high-intensity conflicts has revived very short-range air defence (VSHORAD) programmes, a good example of which is the Skyranger 30, produced by Germany’s Rheinmetall Air Defence. Denmark announced on 16 May 2023 that they had selected this piece of equipment.
The turret is equipped with a radar, infrared sensors, and a laser rangefinder. The armament is an Oerlikon KCE 30 × 173 mm automatic cannon that fires Advanced Hit Efficiency and Destruction (AHEAD) air bursting munitions, each of which releases 160 tungsten projectiles. The 1,200 rpm gun is extremely precise, allowing it to engage small aerial targets such as drones.
The Thales rapid fire cannon is also a solution to counter armed drones and loitering ammunition. The system results from a Thales partnership with Nexter. Its 40 mm Case Telescoped Armament (CTA) cannon has the compactness of a 25 mm cannon and provides heavy firepower up to 4,000 m, with a reduced logistics footprint compared to a conventional cannon of the same calibre.
Child psychology.
Good riddance to Corrupt Ukraine.
Then he, NATO, and the Deep State should have never started that war in the first place.
Dump Zelenskyy then maybe we can talk about how this war comes to an end.
What? One of your mansions needs a make over?
Oh no. Lindsey Graham will have to find another war to enrich his Pentagon buddies.
Actually Ukraine will win, in the sense that the carnage will stop, peace will come and better relations with its major neighbor. It’s the corrupt oligarchs and the globalist establishment that will lose.
