It’s all about political posturing.

They would love nothing more than to see Russian tanks in Kiev in time for the election, in order to blame it on MAGA.

Ukraine underestimated Russia’s willingness to destroy what they supposedly regard as part of Russia.

These Billions will further enrich Green T-shirt Corruption Beggarman, his Shopping Wife, and corrupt cronies, plus all the mobsters in CONgress and the MIC. And keep Zeepers happy.

10% isn’t for the big guy.

10% is what Ukraine will end up with after all of the war mongers divide the majority.

More stupid Russian Propaganda - so tiresome - many of the weapons are already in UKR and others are arriving in Poland.

By what basis did the author of the article come up with these obviously emotional conclusions?

Nor is the gap between supply and demand limited to advanced weaponry. Artillery is a prime example. In the spring of 2023, the Ukrainian army’s rate of consumption of 155 mm shells stood at 6,000 to 8,000 per day, whereas American production output was about 15,000 per month. Since then, the US has ramped up production significantly, but even so, it is not expected to exceed 100,000 shells per month by October 2024. As it turns out, the artillery forces of the United States and its allies are almost completely dependent on the output of a single factory in Scranton, Pennsylvania.

These constraints explain why, in January 2023, the administration asked Israel to transfer 300,000 artillery shells from American stockpiles located in Israel to Ukraine. Of course, Israel herself now needs those stocks. Not to mention Tamir interceptors for Iron Dome, which are also manufactured in small quantities in the US, bombs, and spare parts for aircraft, tank shells, and so on. One does not need a security clearance to conclude that Israel’s military dependence on the United States is nearly absolute.

With the ground dried out and hardening, I think that Russia has now entered the ‘operational phase’ of this SMO.

Ukraine has been hosed since we elected Biden. Moreso when Biden was providing weapons, but in a slow-walked way, continuously about 6 months or so after they became appropriate to even attempt to carry out what he claimed. When there was motion, and Russia was getting beaten back, the Biden Administration instead sought a stalemate, while Russia got its act together. Then after Russia fortified, they pushed Ukraine to exhaust themselves against it.

Very hosed.

They were screwed from the start. They had neither the manpower nor the equipment to defeat a much larger adversary. They don’t have the jungles of Vietnam nor the mountains of Afghanistan to hide in for an extended guerilla war.

What I've I been saying for some time and what the Zeeper freaks here constantly deny: For all these reasons, the $61 billion aid package will not provide the promised victory. The one thing it will do is prolong the war and continue the loss of Ukrainian life and land.

It would have made no difference if that taxpayer money went to Ukraine months ago. They were still losing and still going to lose. If over 300 billion in aid from western countries couldn’t do it, 61 billion isn’t going to do a thing now as most of it is just money laundering and grift.

They ran out of warm bodies to to get killed. Is anyone paying attention to the news that Ukraine is trying to get the people sent back to die that took off to avoid dying in the globalist proxy war? Or do we just not pay attention to that, as usual, because the truth hurts?

Can't buy courage.

Ukraine troops increasingly disobedient and fleeing their positions even when not being attacked.

Krauts are pressing their luck on Russian border, along with nuclear capable aircraft.

All it needs to do is provide enough DISTRACTION up through November. Away from our crap economy, away from our Southern Border, away from out demented President onto in-fighting GOP, AND the Biden Regime’s wanton pandering to woke victim groups.

Either way, win or lose, Biden’s support to UKR ends this November. He won’t need the distraction anymore.

It’s over.

There are not enough Ukies or 155mm to save them.

Sad.
