To add insult to injury, 581 of those Kh-55 missiles were transferred to Russia to settle a debt. There is no doubt that some of those same missiles were used to strike Ukrainian cities and infrastructure.
America should keep supporting Ukraine at this point I think they owe them
Ukraine’s military in 1991 was absolutely fucking massive. They had in their inventory 2500 nuclear missiles, 6500 tanks, 7000 armored vehicles, 350 ships, 1500 combat aircraft and 780,000 active personnel. What happened to all this hardware, man?

if you think about it, the US promised Ukraine nothing but words, not even the membership of any security organisation, in exchange of Ukraine destroying its concrete stockpiles and its ability to protect itself. this is absolutely robbery and the US must have threatened behind closed doors
And people wonder why we should help Ukraine: we promised.
I demand that US should compensate Ukraine with some workable B52 bombers instead!
