Mr. Blinken offered "unwavering" support! Ironically Biden said the same to Afghan president at White House…
51 days later, Afghanistan was surrendered to Taliban. Ukraine military is crumbling, the front buckling, Ukraine is out if trained men. Ukraine conventional force will not make 2025. Negotiations now or unconditional surrender are the Only options available to Ukraine now, without direct Nato troop/air power…..which is nearly an impossibility to happen. Biden admin has destroyed another country in the name of "democracy"……worst US admin in modern history. Pathetic.
10% for the Big Guy.
America just sent $400M weird must be bidenflation in Ukraine too.
Good job blinken
Probably bringing Chemical Weapons for a false flag.
t's never too late for unconditional capitulation!
It’s over folks. Ukraine can’t beat Russia, face it. They don’t have the man power. This will lead to NATO troops on the ground, an escalation leading to WW3. Enough is enough man, we wouldn’t allow missiles on our border, remember the Cuban missile crisis? So why is it ok for us to do it? We keep pushing NATO rights to russias border breaking a promise that we wouldn’t. This war is our fault.
Every time Ukraine retreats they call it a tactical retreat. I think the word you’re looking for is just retreat. Ukraine is going to lose, face it.
Picking up bidens 10 percent
If anyone can’t see through this con job by now. Lord bless you !!! They are literally stealing our money over this nonsense.
Waste of time blinkin
Russia is exploiting Ukraine's lack of men. No matter how much we send them, the result is going to be the same. The Ukraine needs to surrender.
A sudden revision in the colony?
May the NATO leaders please support President Zelenky to END/STOP the Conflicts/Fighting/Wars in Ukraine.
To discuss how much will Hunter get?
After all the billions we have invested in Ukraine, we're now going to delay military support long enough for Russia to take more land? If we're going to blow up the U.S. economy to aid Ukraine, let's make sure the money isn't wasted.
Going over to check on their estates and investments just on our dime as usual, like everything they've amassed was bought with. The jig is up, we know …
American brings multinational force in Haiti before Haitians has colera now the won't to bring kaneya to give Haitian isbtola we are tired with those killing in Haiti
Ukraine is just a big nasty money laundry for the Biden criminal enterprise. But who really thinks that they can win the war if Crooked Joe Keeps sending tax payers money??we know is a scam like everything they do.
120 billion didn't win the war and 60 billion won't win the war. They are not fighting a war to win. They are providing income for politicians in DC with investments in government military contractors.
Would love for Blinken and Zelenskyy to be sent to the front line for a spell.
10% for the Big Guy is still on target for 2024. Americans are so happy to see that someone is still getting paid. 🤬
A meeting on figuring a way out for Zelensky and finding his replacement? Hmmm….
USA Help Ukraine to Victory🇺🇦🗽🇺🇲
It’s a war criminal play date!!😂😂😂
He should go in further to the Russian borders .They will receive him warmly …..!!
Ukraine lost the War, lost half the aid sent & it's on YOU IN dC, you the Swamp. Majority of Americans OPPOSED funding corrupt Ukraine
God bless both of you! Slava Ukraine
😂😂🤡🤡🤡
Well Americans ' We work and sit here broke can barely pay the bills and put food on our table… And they throw billions and trillions around like it's play money and hold us americans accountable for the bills we didnot make!!! Sence when did americans volunteer to work for the rest of the world and not for our well being….
A complete collapse, blackout of Ukrainian territory was arranged for the unwanted pensioner PrezeZelensky and "Kharkovoblenergo" (russia could not do this) disconnecting the electricity for several months in order to close his mouth and freedom of speech. And everything is covered by law enforcement officers and the DBI of Ukraine.
Полный коллапс, блекаут на украинской территории устроил неугодному пенсионеру ПрезеЗеленский и "Харьковоблэнерго" (раша этого не смогла сделать), отключив электричество на несколько месяцев с целью закрыть рот и свободу слова. И всё крышуется (покрывается)правоохранителями и ДБР Украины.
Ukraine Fortress of Europe🤣🤣🤣🤣
Our politicians are exploiting us, the taxpayer. I don't accept one foreign nation supposedly exploiting another as an excuse for our politicians to enrich themselves and their friends at our expense.
"Cronic shortages of manpower" How long before Zelensky is asking for American troops to be included in the yearly mega-billion dollar "Shakedown" installment?
You guys going to go see the new Disney Marvel 🎞️🔴 Deadpool⚫ & 🔵Zelensky🟡 film?
We already heard that Russia is advancing on them. So you pretty much lost this war. And all of that money. 😂😂😂👍
How much % are they getting
❓⁉️
Bring back the Ghost of Kiev! Be sure to use video game footage again, it will surely convince the masses of your credibility! Trump 2024!
For this cameraman had to lie down
Anybody who thinks stopping aid for Ukraine would end this war is naive as folks who thought giving the Sudetenland to Germany leading up to WWII was a good idea. Dictators like Putin aren't appeased.
What happened to all the money allocated to build Kharkiv defensive lines??
Zelensky is skimming off the top of the US aid
Blinken arrived? Oh im sure they feel better already! Lol
Where are those trenches and fortifications that Zelensky spent 500 millions on last march?
Or should I say where has the money gone?!
READ!
1. We are ALL sinners – (Rom. 6:23) For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
*Sin separates us from the Holy God
2. There is a punishment for our sin -(Rom. 6:23a) For the wages of sin is death;
* Death – eternal death – HELL
3. God loves us, He does not want us to go to Hell, He provided a way for our escape from Hell – (Rom. 5:8) But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
* Because of God's love for us, He sent his only son Jesus Christ to die in our place on the cross. Jesus Christ took all the weight of our sins so we can be saved through grace, NOT our works.
* The blood that Jesus shed on the cross can wash away our sins and make us clean
4. Through Jesus Christ, we can now have eternal life in HEAVEN – (Rom. 6:23b) but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
*Gift – free, but you can only have it if you receive it. If you reject it then the punishment of Hell is waiting for you
5. How can I receive eternal life? – (Rom. 10:9) That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
* You have to admit you are a sinner and you cannot save yourself from Hell nor go to Heaven through your own efforts.
You have to believe in your heart that Jesus Christ died on the cross for your sins, was buried and rose again after 3 days and that He and only He can save you from hell.
(Roman 10:13) For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
* Whosoever means anyone including me and you!
Do you want to do it? Pray this prayer:
Dear God, I admit I am a sinner and cannot save myself from hell. I believe that Jesus Christ died for my sins, was buried and rose again. I believe that only Jesus Christ can save me from Hell and He is the only way to Heaven. I accept Jesus Christ in my heart as my Lord and Savior. Thank You for eternal life. Amen.
Well Russia's plan ain't workin……
"Russia lost 1,740 troops in a single day, marking the highest number of daily Russian casualties since the start of the war more than two years ago" AP
Join the Russian military, where every day is D Day!
Is Ukraine getting only 2 more batteries of Patriot missiles? That's nothing. Ukraine needs much more than just 2. This is why so much damages to everything by Russian missile attacks.
Where are all the reeree BIDENG Supporters?
