General warns House on Ukraine: ‘The side that can’t shoot back loses’. Within weeks, Russia will be able to launch 10 artillery shells for every one round fired by Ukraine without additional U.S. aid, Gen. Christopher Cavoli said.

  2. Who is he addressing? The GOP is pro Russian and the Democrats lost the vote on this issue. I suppose he’s addressing Europe then?

  5. I’m seeing this as a nod to Europe, perhaps. I hope we take note and rearm quickly. The cold war never really ended. The West fell into a false sense of safety after the wall came down. Surely, behind the social media gossip, someone is actually moving Europe to a war footing.

  6. At some point can these people acknowledge that republicans want this, so we can stop tip toeing around this like it’s a mysterious political gridlock…

  7. They keep telling the republicans exactly what they want to hear, that it’s working. What NEEDS to happen is a few republicans need to be investigated. Taking sides with the enemy used to have consequences, and maybe if a few house traitors where told “You should feel lucky getting 20 years, we used to hang shit stains like you” things would be better.

  9. Sad part is this has already basically happened. Lots of Ukrainians dead and the loss of land like Avdiivka all because we didnt fulfill our end of the agreement and get them the indirect munitions and small arms ammo they need

  12. What about all those shells Czechia sourced? Aren’t those going to significantly reduce shell hunger?

  13. What’s the timeline for the Czech and Estonian 2m shells?

  14. Just want to say I have been following this and I am so frustrated and angry at my country and their MAGA BS.
    I hope this ends soon and the shells and ammo flow where they need to be.

  16. The artillery shells and production amounts to only 3b of the 60b. Why can’t it be decoupled?

  17. The republican minority that’s holding the aid up gets super hard when hearing this. It’s exactly what they want. They want putler to win his war so they can swim in money. They don’t have a conscience. The best thing you can do is threaten their power or money. Pretend you have evidence of their affiliation with russia and see if they are stupid enough to be blackmailed without evidence. Or find a way to remove these people legally. Keep talking to the public about the GOPs infatuation with putler and his cause. Constantly keep their treachery in the publics eye. Make it undeniable by their actions.

  18. All military guys in the US know this is a disaster. The US MIC must be in tears at the moment as well. 

    Its so crazy what modern Republicans, known in Europe for hawkwish, borderline unhinged foreign policy and this is what they turned into. 

    Its the same kind of Americans that wanted to sit out WW2. And just like then they were wrong. Also simply cold hard geopolitics. 

    Winning WW2 was amazing for the US. Winning Ukraine would be amazing for the US. Giving up on Ukraine is the biggest American L in the 21st century, regardless of what these geopolitical fucking Republican dogs post on Twitter.
