CIA Director Bill Burns on Thursday said Ukraine could lose the war by the end of 2024 without more funding from the U.S., delivering his most specific comments yet on a possible defeat as Kyiv struggles against a much larger Russian army.

“With the boost that would come from military assistance‚ both practically and psychologically — Ukrainians are entirely capable of holding their own through 2024 and puncturing Putin’s arrogant view that time is on his side,” Burns said Thursday during an event at the George W. Bush Presidential Center, referring to Russian President Vladimir Putin.

I agree. In fact this is short. We should spend $500B for Ukraine. PS, what’s the plan?}

Hang on - I just had zeepers and MSM talking heads tell me Russia is losing and is bogged down in Donbas. They haven’t moved even 6KM from Bakhmut in a whole year.

Someone’s lying to me!

Everyone should bookmark this.

From the same guy that failed to predict the taliban taking Kabul in 72 hours and Hamas launching a division-size terror attack into Israel on 7 Oct

Have we ever had a weaker CIA chief?
Wait…we don’t wanna know.

The Government math model suggests that the more we borrow and spend on Ukraine, the quicker they will defeat The Putin.

(See Iraq and Afghanistan for details)

At this point, I don’t care about other nations until our United States is in better shape.
Bidenbarry gas gottrn us into deep debt, and our border is wide open. The unelected government of the United States has created a mess.. Is destroying our nation.
Never been this bad in all of my tears. We are without leadership. Those in charge are globalists and care nothing for the United States nor the people. Their eyes are on the power they seek.. Power to elevate themselves and peon the rest of us.
They are still trying to eliminate Trump. They have the courts and judges.. It’s corrupt from bottom to top. The only answer is God..

The only reason the Russians have not over run the Ukraine is because they don’t want to.

Everything the West is doing is helping convince them over running Ukraine is their only option

“The only reason the Russians have not over run the Ukraine is because they don’t want to.”

True. They could have done it in 3 days. They simply don’t want to. They are humble.

No matter how many Billions we spend, they’re going to lose anyway. It’s a money-llaundering op for our MIC and the UKE oligarchs. There was never any intent to win, in those minds and plans.

Yes! Tear down existing border walls to provide materials for Ukrainian defense.

Did I say $500B. I meant $1T. Just hand it over. We don’t have any of it anyway. Besides more mansion in DC is good for the local construction industry.

He sounds as if that is a bad thing. Ukraine is never going to win this war.
