Not WWI or WWII.......not for a LONG time. We’ve given UKR a significant amount of money and arms. We’re talking today and what’s available and produced today which is vastly more expensive than WWII.. If you wanna compare crap 80 years apart, then what about the money we’ve given them. The entire US war debt in WWII was about $250B. Democrats and RINOs want to sucker us into a debt for them that is vastly more significant than that.
When this started I thought Ukraine was just going to lose the Donbas. Now I’m starting to think they may lose everything east of the Dnieper and maybe even Odessa.
Russia hasn’t taken a single major city in Ukraine since the beginning of the war more than two years ago.
Russia plays the long game.
Losing 40% of the Black Sea fleet in 2 years is the long game?
Russia can absorb that.
The total spending on supporting Ukraine so far is a tiny share of the federal budget.
The most obnoxious Ukie troll on Free Republic.
Russia has no ability to produce missiles, drones or any advanced weapons without smuggling in parts from American and European sources.
Russia simply lacks the necessary level of technology, and they depend on CNC machine tools made in the USA and Europe to make aircraft, tanks, cruise missiles, and most of their airborne equipment.
Also, Europe and NATO are getting their act together on the threat from Russia. As well as the need to prepare for the drone wars.

Vlad doesn't hold many cards at all, he just has a tyrant's ego and disdain for other people's lives.
What Chasov Yar doink?
>>>Continuing to demilitarize Russia with 3% of our annual defense budget is the bargain of a lifetime.<<<
Bargain of a lifetime? It won’t be for our grandkids or our great-grand kids.
What part of WE HAVE NO MONEY don’t zeepers understand? Why are we enslaving future generations in order to keep Joe and Volod’s Laundromat in business?
Yeah, dodging the Zelvis Draft until he grows up.
You're completely ignorant. Mariupol was an Ukrainian stronghold and home base of neo-Nazi Azov battalion. And, it wasn't bombed out when the war started.
You're clueless about the subject matter.
You are literally too ignorant to have an intelligent conversation with on the subject.
Your parents would probably be happy to have your out of their basement so they wouldn't have to support you anymore.
Where did you ever get that ridiculous idea?
Russia simply lacks the necessary level of technology
That's why the Russians have hypersonic missiles and we and Europe don't?
Yes - the West is used to picking on goatherders in sandals, who they target with their drones and pinpoint missile attacks.
