The border is an Administration policy. No new laws needed. Like the Russkies who invaded UKR, the war there would end if they went home, so too the boarder ‘crisis’ would end, if the Administration policy would revert to the one under DJT.

It’s a game of no amount is enough to support UKR. Can’t produce enough artillery shells because the UKEs blast them off like cheap bottle rockets. We give them shells, they get a few days worth of supply, then we’re told our production is increasing, blah, blah....and they get a few more days worth of bangers. Meanwhile all RUS has to do is ping-pong attacks at different locations and the whole UKR supply chain is stressed.

So, you're finally admitting what many of us have been saying for months?

And, you're too dishonest to admit that that no amount of money from US taxpayers is going to allow Ukraine to match the Russians ability to produce ammo and missiles or solve Ukraine's manpower shortage.

There is ONLY ONE SOLUTION to avert an Russian offensive -- a Ukrainian surrender.

Putin and Russia may think they can win the long game, but they are so wrong.

The Russians have already won. They have already liberated all the territory they set out to when this war began. They would have settled for less as proven the Minsk Accords and peace deal that was worked out in Turkey in March of 2022.

There is no scenario where Ukraine gets any territory back.

Feel free to become a Democrat if you oppose the House blocking anymore funding for this failed proxy war.

Ukraine ping

Russian JDAM clones are having an impact on Ukrainian positions. However, if the promised F-16s ever show up in quantity (50 or more), Ukrainians will have enough spare airframes of their own to start returning the favor. Ukrainian aviation has been severely depleted by losses. If nothing else, the F-16s will plug the CAS gap and give the Ukrainian military a chance to punch the kinds of holes in Russian defenses akin to what the Russians did to Ukraine at Avdiivka.

Scratch a Russian, find a Mongol.

So, a crude, neo-Nazi pig like yourself has a problem with those with Down's Syndrome?

Do you think they should be exterminated like Uncle Adolf wanted to do?

Russia hasnā€™t captured a single major city in Ukraine since the war started. Not a single one in over 2 years.

Your Mong army is a joke and your daily, repetitive breathless reports of meat assaults advancing 50 yards a day in a bombed out village are just plain silly.

Kyiv in 3 day? Lol!

What? The Russians didn't capture Mariupol, a city of more than a million?

You don't even know what hell has occurred during this war.

Your distain for those with Down's Syndrome demonstrates what crude, sick neo-Nazi you are.

Russian women are some of the most desirable in the world. But, being gay, you wouldn't realize that.

Millions of us complain about this crap daily so that’s pure BS. The government should be reduced in size by about 80% and get back to basics like protecting America, it’s number 1 job which it’s failed miserably at. Most 3 letter agencies should be exterminated along with all welfare and social programs and I mean them all Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, (these need to be phased out) unemployment etc.

The government needs to stay out it’s citizens business and let capitalism work.

As for Ukraine..F’em they’re as corrupt as Russia and it’s a European problem.

And, that ignorant comment contradicts the article you just posted.

Why is the author of the article you just posted so afraid of a Russian offensive if the Russian military is so feckless?

You're losing what little sanity you have left. Your points aren't even coherent anymore.

Mariupol, a bombed out abandoned shell of a city 40 miles from the Russian border?

40 miles from your border and it took 3 months of Mong bombing and meat assaults to conquer the ruins? Lol!

The amounts are puny. During WW1, the French alone made and fired over 100K howitzer shells a day.

https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-17011607

Ukrainians fired 6K at the peak, and are now firing maybe 2K a day. The Russians are said to be firing an average of 20K a day. Ukraine survives by digging deep trenches and monitoring drone footage for Russian advances that follow artillery barrages.

During WW2, the US supplied ~5K of one late model fighter plane to the Russians.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell_P-39_Airacobra#Soviet_Union

It has supplied none to Ukraine. Over 4 years, the US supplied 12% of its economy in goods and weaponry to the Russians - the one Axis power to emerge on the winning side. In the past 2 years, the US has supplied $100b in aid - 0.2% of the economy - to Ukraine. In magnitude per year, it’s about the same as what was provided to the Afghans to fight a bunch of part-time guerrillas - the Taliban.

Three words, Marioupol, Bakmut, and Avidiivkaā€¦.the last two heavily fortified since 2014 ( think about that)ā€¦..next up on Vlads chopping block, Kharkov, the second largest Ukie population center.

ā€¦ā€¦.slowly but surely for many reasonsā€¦.Odessa surly after that ( if St Z refuseā€™s negotiations).

Vlad still holds all the cardsā€¦and as we are witnessing, the entire might of the West can do nothing about it. Get used to it.

You isolationist amaze me. With your lack of understanding about how the world works.

Biden has a policy that entails the destruction of the USA. Complaining won’t change a thing.

You must be either very wealthy or very young. Doing away with those programs would harm millions - yes I know, not your problem like the blood on your hands from UKR.
