I was gonna say written by a White House staffer, but it amounts to the same thing. A puff piece to tug at the ol’ heartstrings, hits all the themes.

I liked the part where the chatbot said it takes weeks to teach American soldiers things that Ukrainians learn in a few hours. And usually Ukes get it right there very first time anyway.
This is truly some WWII era Soviet newspaper propaganda.

When it comes to cutting losses, there is a saying in the stock industry that “your first loss is your best loss” Hindsight suggests the deal they worked out 2 years ago ceding the two primarily Russian eastern provinces may have been their best loss. The longer this goes on with no negotiation table as a backdrop, the more Ukraine stands to lose when they ultimately throw in the towel and, just as importantly, the more treasure the US expends prosecuting this war it stands to lose

Someone needs to pull this whole joke of a thread. And you madam, should be ashamed for posting it.

We don’t want anything to do with Ukraine and we aren’t calling RATs and RINOs.

In fact I am going to call Mike Johnson’s office to compliment him for staying firm on this issue.

The Ukraine regime supports the Puppet Biden agenda which at its heart is the worldwide homosexual rape of children.

Russia does not.

Do you think that Jesus Christ would support the filthy depraved homosexual agenda?

Our soldiers are true professionals undisturbed by the massive Russian Firepower being flung at them

This shows this is garbage propoganda right here. Hundreds of thousands have died because of massive Russian firepower. The ability of Russia to sustain the production of artillery shells was a huge surprise as was the inability of the West to sustain anything close. It's a subject of daily contemplation in professional American military journals.

Yeah, a guy named Jake Broe, from Orange County California, who takes the "call sign" Jacky, going to work for the former sex worker named Volodymyr Oleksandrovych Zelenskyy. Sure, I can see that..

Aside from the childish response at least you seem to grasp the part about the mercenary issue.

Vindman should sign up as mercenary to fight in YouCrayne.
No more American Tax Dollars for Corrupt YouCrayne.
Close our Southern Border.

He sounds like a PR shill.

...a United States Air Force veteran who served as a Nuclear and Missile Operations Officer...

So, drank coffee and watched monitors all day? Or drank coffeee and watched enlisted troops watch monitors all day.

Whatever his past or current military duties post 10 is correcting the error about being a mercenary.

Russia uses mercenaries, all Ukrainian fighters, including foreign volunteers are legally part of the official military.

Accurate and apt. Even idiot Obama spoke about "escalation dominance" that becoming involved in a land war far from the US would be problematic.

But the YouTube video is interesting, of itself. Not only soliciting funds for the Ukraine military via a letter writing campaign to Congress, the specific video page also posts:

Under the "more" at the beginning of the promoted YouTube video:
"Donate to the Ukrainian Military: https://u24.gov.ua/"
In the comments, one finds two themes, non-Americans politicking for American money to continue to support the war, and some ostensible American "Republicans" which seems suspect.
An example: "@johnrutowicz4580 -- @johnrutowicz4580 -- 9 hours ago -- I am 57 years old and have never voted for a Democrat in my life. That will change this November. "

Translation -- VOTE FOR BIDEN or any other Democrat.

From another comment: " So, as it stands right now, I feel myself being FORCED to vote against even our good Republicans here in Florida. And ex-President Trump won’t be getting my third vote come this November either - I am so very dissapointed that I can no longer trust him to do the right thing in Ukraine."

Translation: VOTE FOR BIDEN or any other Democrat.

From another comment: "He is up for re-election in November, and is quickly losing my vote."

Translation: VOTE FOR BIDEN or any other Democrat.

From another comment: "Mike Johnson MUST be removed asap! Even by unorthodox methods if need be. (No I'm not suggesting to off him, though I wouldn't shed any tears over it)."

From another (a Brit): "Mike Johnson MUST be removed asap! Even by unorthodox methods if need be. (No I'm not suggesting to off him, though I wouldn't shed any tears over it)."

The posting of this video and its comments has a point, which seems rather against Trump in 2024.

Legalese semantics. Irrespective of their organization chart, why should the US continue to pay for it?
