These right wing radio shows keep acting like we’re just sending cash to Ukraine, when we’re spending that money here in the US. We are sending artillery shells (that don’t last forever on the shelf) to Ukraine, and then a company here makes more and we get new ones for our stockpiles
“An “artificial deficit of weapons” will only help Russia, Mr Zelensky told an international conference in Germany.
Ukrainian troops have been running out of ammunition as vital US support has been held up by supporters of former President Donald Trump in Congress.
Mr Zelensky said he was prepared to tour the front lines with Mr Trump.
“If Mr Trump will come, I am ready to go with him to the front line. What does it mean, the real war, not Instagram, the real war,” the Ukrainian president said.”
Cadet Bonespurs would probably need his quid-pro-quo to make journey.
Who am I kidding, he’ll draft dodge that war too.
The GOP is stopping any support for Ukraine, because it has actors that favor Russia interests.
It is not a surprise, nor is it a mystery. It always has been this way, since the GOP fell.
You’re welcome, love Mike Johnson.
FUCK Republicans for stalling aid. They are all Putin’s stooges
Russia First Republicans are Traitors. They should move there.
Third time we let Putin win. First Syria, second Belarus and now Ukraine. Nice to know 140 countries or howmany it are can’t stand up to win from one country ruled by a lunatic.
Ammunition is not Ukraine’s only problem right now, the elephant in the room is manpower. Ukraine will need to mobilize another 500K soldiers to replenish it’s exhausted and stretched force. The Russian army is able to rotate it’s forces. I know soldiers from the frontline currently on holiday in Turkey. Ukraine’s army has been on the frontline since the beginning of this conflict, exhausted and stretched with little relief. Russian capability is also scaling at a rapid pace. We have warehouses of 10’s of thousands of soviet bombs that can now be converted into precision munitions with a kit allowing strikes with a CEP of 2 meters. This coupled with a superior air force is having a significant impact on the frontlines. Over the past week, Avdiivka was getting a nonstop precision strike from glide bombs carrying 500 to 1500kg of warhead firepower and from what I understand, it will take years just to clear the Soviet stockpile of FAB bombs in warehouses alone. The biggest impact of this is that it alleviates the strike load on artillery units with the air force now able to take on some of that load and preserving shell usage.
Didn’t the US sign an agreement to defend Ukraine. Along with Russia? So they’re just liars like Russia is now?

Ukraine is reaching a point where weapons alone aren’t enough. I saw they are asking European countries now to send back male refugees to be conscripted. If they’re that desperate for manpower then guns just won’t cut it if they have no one to man them.
I am astonished at the level of success that Putin’s disinformation efforts created. He is a paranoid old man now, but goddamn did he understand how to manipulate social unrest.
40 years ago, you ask any republican if their children would be voting for a president that sucked russian nads for some money, they would call you batshit insane.
Someone not giving you stuff Isn’t an artificial shortage. Ukraine lacks the ability to make it themselves or pay for it.
When is the media gonna report on my artifical shortage of free money uncle sam Isn’t giving me???
Yeah and Europe is fucked. No substantial weapon production. There is Rheinmetall, a Spanish supplier, Saab and perhaps more.
The war is a wake up call for Europe. You only got your country, your land as long as we are able and willing to defend it
Not to be that guy, but selling supplies on the Black market meant for the front doesn’t help either. But yeah, Ukraine really does need support. You can’t support them this far and then nope the fuck out.
I am not buying this asshole another yacht
tbh start making a push and money will come. its starting to look like a wash
Listen. I hate to be that guy but I’m pretty sure there’s a considerable probability the world might plunge into war this decade. So we uhh. We might need those guns
GOP = Russia
then build your own damn weapons genius
Please call your reps and senators TODAY and urge them to support additional weapons for Ukraine.
You are blaming the Republicans? The Democrats refused the Republicans request for border funding with the Ukraine aid.
Yeah we know dude thank maga for being able to hold the US hostage
I see the majority of comments here blaming the Republicans(which is fair) but why the fuck is Europe getting off scott free?
Europe promised Ukraine 1 million shells by 2023. They didn’t even hit half of that goal and we’re already in 2024.
