  1. You mean “fearing Dumps Russian owner will tell him to halt US aid”

  2. I wish he’d thought of that one month ago. Or better yet, two years ago

  3. Can we all admit Biden isn’t doing anything. They’re just Weekend at Bernie-ing Biden’s husk around for appearances. Poor man needs to be retired and treated; not pranced around like he’s still coherent.

  4. To late to drink mineral water if your kidneys are falling off. “Nobody should win” 👍Awesome strategy 🏆

  6. Bradleys, A-10s and Patriots, and lots of ammo for what they’ve already got. LOTS!! Better give a shit ton to Taiwan, too!!

  7. Hot take, but I really don’t think this is Biden doing this but rather our military off loading as much junk we don’t want as to use it as an opportunity for higher funding more expensive shit they will develop in its place. The hilarious thing is, the C tier stuff we are giving Ukraine is 20 years ahead and better than what the Russians have currently.

  8. Same guy who once criticized Obama for his handling of Crimea in 2014, will now rightfully so be criticized for ALSO being too soft on Russia. Both of them have failed (to differing degrees at least) in helping Ukraine and punishing Russias actions. Obamas failure is a direct contributor to Putin feeling safe and emboldened enough to do a full scale invasion in 2022. Bidens will be having been too afraid of Russias escalation threats and if Ukraines aid is cut or if Ukraine is forced into giving up their land then he will too be remembered for emboldening Russia for their inevitable future imperial expansion.

  10. Maybe Biden could give Ukraine back the nukes they gave up in exchange for security guarantees from the US and Russia?

    Seems like they ought to get a refund on that one, so to speak.

  11. Prediction: as soon as Trump finds out Putin is not his lap dog and will not concede to Ukraine without it being integrated back into Russia, the battle of the narcissists begins.

  14. Trump will cancel everything ukraine related to help his good buddy putin win

  15. Only took 1,000+ days and losing an election. Cool.

  16. I didn’t think Joe would have time to do this around pardoning his kid for tax evasion and all federal crimes over a 10 year period. I guess he can still multi-task. Anyone think Hunter can get his old job back in Ukraine at Burisma moving Putin’s oil and gas across Ukraine to NATO partners?

  17. At this point send the military and finally get Putin gone. FCS

  18. Fucking ridiculous that they are suddenly able to actually do shit now that that they have a month left, instead of you know, any time in the past 4 fucking years. Fuck politicians.

  19. Send *everything*. We aren’t at war, but if Ukraine falls, we will be.

  21. Lemme rewrite this for ya “ Biden aims to kickstart WW3 before his term is over “

  22. Russiapublicans will absolutely halt aid to Ukraine under some “we’re just wanting to make sure something something corruption something something…” excuse

  24. PSA to those who aren’t paying attention (you know who you are): the aid we’re giving to Ukraine isn’t free, they’re loans backed by frozen Russian assets. Ukraine losing is the guarantee that we don’t see that money again.

    As to why we’re getting involved, see WWII. Hitler is a very solid precedent that letting dictators do what the want is a greater promise of escalation than intervention.

  25. What about surging money to Americans who need it? The amount of homeless and drug addicts on the street is insane. It feels live our country left Americans behind. My post isn’t about Ukraine, my post is about Americans dying. They have money to give to other countries but don’t have enough to clean up communities.

  26. > fearing Trump will halt US aid

    _Knowing_ Trump will halt US aid.

  27. Im European, happy to hear but our governments need to realize that just 0,5% total EU gdp per year would be amazing. Not in loans but in guns and missiles, planes etc….

  29. You realize that no one on the Ukraine side is accounting any of the aid we send. This is Biden sending himself money so zelensky can launder it for him.

  31. Man I wish there was another continent nearby filled w/ rich countries that could help them.

  32. So much money that that government claims not to have

  35. Crazy that the Biden administration is hastily doing all the things that it should have done years ago, because they know now they aren’t going to be able to milk that shit for 4 more years under Kamala.

  36. Of course Trump will halt all aid. It will be the first of many foreign policy disasters of his new term. I assume the cult doesn’t care about the people of Ukraine; we’ll be hearing a lot of Putin’s propaganda spewing from Trump’s mouth about the war.

  38. None of it really matters if Trump really holds back from next month .

  40. Nothing will change if russians will still have air superiority.Ukraine hade a chance win 2023,but pussy Biden with hes shitty russian lover aka JakeSalivan prefer russias victory.

  42. Fuck the “bleed Russia out slowly” plan. Not only does it disrespect the sacrifice of the Ukrainians, it *didn’t work*.

  43. Remember ,when Putin sed he woud use atomic fission bombs at times, Joe Biden sed ,if they use even 1 nuke in war ,Joe’s administration woud wage full scale nuclear war agenst Rushia! to destroy there ability to wage war ,destroying the military and industry to build such. Even if raidioactive acid clouds don’t ruin the Earth ,It woud destroy that Land. And some people do have hypersonic missle tek, wich neether Joe nore Donald coud save U from, if launched. So U should thank the African Spearmen ,
