Volodymyr Zelensky's top adviser has told the West to dramatically step up deliveries of heavy weapons if Ukraine is to defeat Russia's invasion. Mykhailo Podolyak said Monday that Kyiv needs 1,000 howitzers, 300 rocket artillery systems, 500 tanks, 2,000 armoured vehicles and 1,000 drones 'to end the war'. The eye-watering shopping list amounts to an army's-worth of Western equipment and goes well beyond both what has been supplied so far and what Ukraine itself has been requesting. Put in context, 500 new tanks would be more than the UK and Germany have in active service combined, while 1,000 howitzers and 300 rocket launchers is more than the US

Ukraine did the right thing at first. They fought with everything they had. But that was their chance, and as hard as they fought, it only slowed the Russians. If they couldn't stop the Russians in the first few weeks, they weren't going to have any realistic chance to win.
Ukraine cannot win a war of attrition against an enemy 6 times larger than they are. It's just not realistic. Russia can lose men at 10:1 against Ukraine and keep replacing them.
It's time to get realistic, find some political way to end this where both Russia and Ukraine can "save face", and get this done. But not another US $$$ for this lost cause. If we are going to put this much money into stopping any invasion, it must be to stop the invasion of illegal aliens on our own southern border!!!!!

Check with whoever is running Afghanistan.
Oh, and schmoe asked if you could drop a pen and pencil set off to the parents of the 7 children he killed, along with the message: “it was never going to be perfect. Never. I can taste your disappointment. Taste it. Taste. It. You ain’t good parents if you don’t vote for me. Goodbye.”

The $60Billion + machines/munitions that the Ukraine's have already received is MORE than Moscows entire Military budget allocation.

Give it up, Volodymyr. Yours was a lost cause from the beginning. It’s time for you, the US, the EU, and NATO to come clean and pay the piper.

No. These will end up being sold or captured by Russia. Ask Afghans for help they have plenty.

Defense contractors, corrupt Democrats and WEF globalists all want to keep the Ukraine War going as long as possible.

No. Just no. The sooner you lose the more stable the world gets and President Potato can’t blame everything on the war. Enough.

frolicking on your beaches. We're done. You overplayed your hand!

If we do that Russia will, "See You and raise you a Division". Unless we give them more than Russia has at its disposal (that includes thousands of nukes), their estimation of what they need from us is wrong.

They'll just turn around and sell it to our enemies to kill American citizens and our soldiers. It's called "Fast and Furious", a trademark of Eric Holder's gunrunning kangaroo policy.

the "free" nations of the world are giving up on the Ukrainians and they are hardly mentioned in the news these days,
Zelenskyy knew this was going to happen because he knows the influence that Soviet Russia has on Europe (which is primarily Socialist with a little bit of Communism thrown in to be the glue to hold them together) and the United States (which has a burgeoning and revitalized Communist influence growing daily) so, in short, Ukraine is, literally, on its own
the only hope for Ukraine and the rest of the world is that Vlad the Imposer will soon die but who will replace him and how belligerent he will be will be interesting to see how it develops

We have evidence they are selling large amounts of arms on the black market to make big money fast before the national collapse. Giving billion$ to the corrupt leadership of ukraine will only fuel more corruption and political payoffs to U.S. politicians.

DM is SO full of beans, especially on anything associated with the military, weapons, guns, etc. They never get any of it right, and they are leftists.
When it's a military story from DM......pass.

The most recent $40 billion payoff is already earning interest in Swiss bank accounts, so here comes a fresh plea, perhaps with tales of Russian atrocities. No problem; Jerome will just print some more Weimar bucks and it's off to the races.
