Russia warned the U.S. on Thursday that it risked escalating the war in Ukraine if it pushed ahead with plans to equip Kyiv with sophisticated air defense missile systems, warning Washington it would face 'consequences.'
Unnamed U.S. officials this week said the Pentagon was preparing to send Patriot missile systems to Ukraine as Russia bombarded its power infrastructure from the air.
Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said the U.S. had 'effectively become a party to the war.'
The transfer of such sophisticated weapons, she added, 'would mean even broader involvement of military personnel

We are already a party to the war. No matter which side you cheer for, we have been arming and supplying intel to their enemies. That alone makes us a party to it.
I personally dont care who wins. Neither side is worthy of one dollar of taxpayer money or one drop of American blood. The DC swamp can get its brides somewhere else.

December surprises- Title 42 expiring December 21 allowing tens of thousands of illegals to invade simultaneously and sending Patriot Missiles to Ukraine egging on a war between US and Russia. Merry Christmas America ! I hope some liberals pay a horrible personal price for illegal immigration maybe some illegals will run into a lib over the holidays. Liberals never change until they pay a personal price for their actions.

Russia has been sounding like Joe Piscopo's Danny Vermin character from "Johnny Dangerously" for much of the last year.

I'm remembering that quote from The Hunt for Red October -- "This thing will get out of control. It'll get out of control and we'll be lucky to live through it."

Blah, blah, blah.
Putin is very unhappy. His 'four day war of liberation" is now in it's 10th month and he badly lost his battle for Kiev, and Ukraine recovered 1,000 square miles around Kharkiv, and then about 450 square miles around Kherson.
Putin has discovered that his "massive, capable army" isn't actually very massive, and isn't all that capable. Russia has lost half of their modern tanks, and have expended around 50% of all their longer range precision weapons...and are scared that they will run out if they keep up the use rate of their most accurate weapons. And, Putin found out that they can only build new ones at a rate of about six per month.
And that huge amounts of their "reserve" tanks, anti-aircraft, and personnel carriers are .....junk that doesn't work because someone stole the money to keep them repaired and ready for use and faked all the reports on their readiness.
And Ukrainian troops are a whole lot more motivated than Russian troops. And that counts for a LOT.

Hey China, given all the business we have given you in the past, how about invading Russia for us and give Putin a two front war? Who knows, you might be able to pick up some land containing rare earth minerals.

Sending the Patriot system over there means sending troops to man it.
This is not a system that can run itself. It requires technicians, training. the system has to be maintained and people have to be trained to maintain it.

We should have known that they actually were seriously planning a WWIII when they so vociferously accused Trump of pushing us into it .

There may not be a choice in the matter if dementia joe continues to poke the bear. Right now, Putin is showing signs of being as crazy as Joe is. This is how major wars begin. I am glad that I am no longer young enough to fight because I could no longer work up the enthusiasm to risk it all for the perverted half of the people of this country. They have demonstrated that they do not deserve it by turning away from God.
