  2. After all this combat I bet these badass Ukrainian veterans would have a whole lot they could teach our military that let’s be honest is probably getting pretty rusty lately

    Not gonna happen though, just another cost of trump ruining our relations

    Europe should take advantage of that though for their re-armament, I’m sure Ukraine is still willing to work with them 

  3. Americans giving up in Ukraine is a problem that hopefully Europe can solve with more support

    The real worry is when the Americans start funding the Russian army which I assume is coming soon

  4. I like the optimism, but let’s be real, it’s going to be hard. More people will suffer, more people will die because of the orange thin skinned bastard.

  5. This is what Ho Chi Minh did when the United Nations security council turned down his request for help.

    He went straight to China and the USSR.

  6. Ukriane needs to leave the non proliferation treaty and have nukes. I don’t see how they can ever rely on the usa for security guarantees

  7. Swap over to AK variants; there is no ammo shortage there (your enemy uses the same caliber). There is a reason many many nations stick with the caliber.

  8. The rest of Europe has made sure to fund the arming of Russia so there should be plenty of AK-47s lying around.

  11. Proud to be in America,

    Where at least they know they’re free,

    To huff Russian Propaganda,

    And elect a Kompromat to the Presidency!

  13. I wonder what the odds of China financing Ukraine would be with an offer of their minerals. It would quickly pause Russia and slap the US in the face.

  14. Sadly I don’t think any MAGA care that even american blood was spilled in this war. Lest we forget there have been american volunteers that joined up with Ukrainian forces, be they soldiers or humanitarian workers or whatever.

  15. Trump just did incalculable damage to the US defense industry. It’s going to lead to thousands of layoffs and possibly bankruptcies because other countries will boycott American products. This is not “America first”. It’s “America last”.

  16. Hope it works out well. But I still think a peace deal would be their best chance.

  18. It’s such a dumb discussion. America is buying its own security. Europe is the buffer between their adversaries and America.

    But I guess that’s why Russia is trying so hard to have Trump dismantle everything.

  19. Honestly i see countires like south korea and their arms industry picking up demand for arms sales.

  20. >The Trump administration recently cut off the flow of military support to Ukraine.

    >Ukrainian soldiers told BI that they were upset with the decision but would keep fighting.

    >The Trump administration recently cut off the flow of military support to Ukraine.

    >Ukrainian soldiers told BI that they were upset with the decision but would keep fighting.

    >**KYIV, Ukraine — Ukrainian soldiers are grappling with the weight of President Donald Trump’s decision to cut support as they continue to defend their homeland against the Russians.**

    >Soldiers serving in a mobile air defense unit just outside Kyiv shared with Business Insider on Friday their thoughts on the situation. Asking to be identified only by their first names for security reasons, they said they were disappointed but would find a way to keep up the fight.

    >Oleksiy, one of the Ukrainian soldiers, said that he didn’t see the development as the decision of the American people but rather that of one man. “It is a pity, but we will fight,” he added.

    >On March 3, Trump directed a pause on military aid to Ukraine as Washington sought to pressure Kyiv to engage in an expedited peace process with Russia on unfavorable terms.

    >In the following days, the US cut intelligence sharing with Ukraine and restricted its access to critical satellite imagery; the extent is unclear. These three moves left Kyiv vulnerable to an emboldened Russia on and off the battlefield.

    >Some Ukrainian officials have said that Russia is advancing, Kyiv can’t use some of its best weapons, and there are concerns about ammunition, according to recent reports.

    >Officials told BI that the full effect of the pause on military aid remained to be seen but that the impact could very much be felt throughout Kyiv’s armed forces.

    >Air defense soldiers with Ukraine’s Territorial Defence Forces said the pause could end up affecting the truck-mounted .50-caliber M2 Browning machine gun that they use to shoot down explosives-packed Russian drones.

    >”If we run out of ammunition for the American machine gun, we will use other guns,” Oleksiy said, adding: “Even if they are of a smaller caliber, we will still do our job.”

  21. America, of all nations, should understand better than anyone that a global superpower can get humiliated by a smaller, less equipped force.

  22. They will find others guns thanks to the UE who will buy Americans 😭🤡

  23. Exactly. From now on, what the Ukraine may run out in weapons and ammos after US aid cut-off, just inform the European arms manufacturers in advance, to expand production lines and churn out massive quantities of them for Ukraine. In this way Ukraine can sustain long term conflict till the final victory, and Europe will see its military industry greatly boosted alongside strong economic growth. Both Ukraine and Europe will be greatly benefited in this way.

  24. but a twitter communist told me they had no agency or will to fight

  26. Serious question. I’ve read that many in the US make their own bullets. Is it difficult? Is it something Ukrainian supporting retired folk could do and donate?

  27. Might as well. Trump is going to start WW3. Declare national emergency and stay in White House forever just like FDR. That’s his plan when he said we will never have to vote again. Otherwise, he will go to prison and he’s not going there alive.

  28. I’d be on board with my government making guns for them in our country. At least it will stimulate our economy while helping them

  29. Canadian here. Anything can used as a weapon in times of wars. Brick, rocks, hammers, russian parts.

  30. “If we run out of American bullets, we’ll pick up the rifles from Russian soldiers” would’ve been even harder

  32. Slava Ukraini. Fight on for Democracy. In better days we will join you once again. I am shamed by my country’s sudden faithlessness in its values and absence when allies need us.

  33. Ukraine will use Russian bullets if they have to. Giving it back is the right thing to do

  34. Some of these comments, show a lack of knowledge on geopolitics lol.

  35. The right wing propaganda machine has them believing that world cannot go one without the US. In reality life will be very different for us Americans when the world goes on without us. Pretty much everything we have setup to bring us prosperity is being threatened by Trump.

  36. Random soldier cooler than anyone currently in office.

  38. And another generation of people who hate America is made.

  39. I mean if they have other options then it sounds like our aid is necessary.

  40. Aren’t these the same folks that a little ole grandma knocked a Russian drone out of the sky with a jar of pickles? In the dictionary beside the word tenacity you might find a picture of the Ukrainian flag.

  44. The soldiers that were kidnapped off the streets to be sent to the front lines?

  45. Good. I didn’t wanna pay for your fucking war anyways lol.
