I know negative things aren’t really posted here but….I think it’s important to understand both sides and how they can fight that “negative”. We all want Ukraine to pull this out…(Well us normal folks) but a lot of what he said is creeping back in and with the shell shortages in the EU..it falls on the US to get them the tools until Europe can get their ass in gear. Ukraine should have mobilized a lot sooner as well IMO and that decision may have major consequences later this year with MANY more troops available for Russia to despose of gaining ground. Ukraine doesn’t have that luxury and have lost a lot compared to what russa can afford to lose
NK and Iran can keep supplying Russia with weapons, but the GOP insists on blocking aid to Ukraine while criticizing Biden for not being tough on Iran 😂.
Hopefully we can Get the snowball rolling on some aid and get that momentum back up. 60 bln Euros in EU aid, another 60 bln USD from the US soon and all those fine looking 300 bln is frozen Russian assets.
No EU country bothered to actually spin up military production. It’s been 2 years of complacency. Probably too late now. We all got rid of our surplus stuff that was designed for combat in the 70s and 80s but the ammo was never brought to combat levels. Russia wants to WIN. Yea, they ruined their economy to do so and the the economic suffering outside of Moscow and St. Petersburg is massive. But they don’t care.
EU has to chose if it wants to fight Russia before or after it gobbled Ukraine.
How did the EU miss the ammo shipments? Where are my tax dollars going?
Just as a hypothetical. Say the USA sent a few hundred thousand troops to the eastern front lines , how long do you think it would take from them to clear ukraine?

Ukraine needs those F16 yesterday.
Artillery wars are possible with a good airforce.
