Rep. Keith Self, R-Texas, told Newsmax Saturday that the United States must give Ukraine the tools to go on the offensive in the next year to bring the war with Russia to a close...He said the military equipment being sent to Ukraine as part of America's more than $100 billion in military and humanitarian aid is being fully accounted for with as many as four separate audits to ensure the aid is going where it is supposed to. He said, however, he is "less certain about the cash" being sent.

This is pretty damn offensive. Put Zelensky on the front line and turn him loose.
I think our NATO troops would disagree with you, and that they are encouraged to see Russia becoming less of a threat as their war machine is being depleted while our GIs get to stay safe and dry while loading the equipment to send to the Ukraine army.
Blah blah blah Neo=isolationist clap trap yada yada yada
Self can go F himself
“Read up on his speech last week.
I did. Here’s an excerpt:
“A watershed moment for our country’
“I am making this address at a time which we all know is a difficult, watershed moment for our country, a time of cardinal, irreversible changes around the world, the most important historic events that will shape the future of our country and our people, when each of us bears a colossal responsibility.””

His speech was an effort to put lipstick on a pig
You know Putin how?
Unlike you, not by being a Putin troll.
Instead, by observing his actions.
You and I know that he is a president for life; you, because he’s your master; me, because I’m a citizen of a free country.
Already emailed a number of folks in his area to get this in public so a primary opponent can be found
Number of us have made it number one priority to push the Ukraine scam supporters out of office and down here the comparison with the status of our border if quite effective so quite possible this could be his last term
Nope, you by being a Biden,MSM, State Dept, brainwashed war cheerleader. You’re a citizen of the deep state.
Where is the money coming from that is being sent to American Defense contractors and Ukrainian politicians?
“(me) by being a Biden,MSM, State Dept, brainwashed war cheerleader.”
Democracy has its problems, Ivan, but authoritarianism is worse.
Putin cannot possibly allow Ukraine to become as prosperous as Poland has become, nor even Romania. The people of Russia will turn to the west as surely as the people of Moldova and the people of Belarus have turned.
Here the problem with Putin: in the old days, the leaders of the Soviet Union believed in communism. Victory over the west would be won through economic achievement. “We will bury you,” Khrushchev said, meaning with washing machines, decent housing, paid vacations, etc.
We, in the west, similarly believed we had the right idea about economic achievement. So, neither of us wanted to risk a nuclear war because both of us believed we were going to win the economic war. Why risk an inevitable victory in an economic war by getting into a nuclear war!
So, we played the game and we found out democracy, not communism, wins the economic war.
But, now we are dealing with a person who has no philosophic vision, a person who is motivated by a grandiose vision, of a restored Russian Empire. He is the new Catherine the Great. Such a person is dangerous.
Wanker trying to live in a dream world...

How does one connecty with this project? I'm in Victoria, SE Tx and Michael Cloud appears to be seeing the light on the subject but as you note, other Tx pols seem to see only darkness and need to be primaried into oblivion.
Everybody hates a crybaby...
He also said that the Russian economy was KICKING ASS, far better than the West.
They have around 19 years to catch up to our modern war fighting, against goat humpers.
Money money...... to many here the only thing more sacred than not spending any money is not being vaccinated for Covid
By the way....... the money you covet is mostly an investment, not an expense
Investments pay dividends
The best weapons in the world need soldiers to pull the trigger and Ukraine is running short of them. As the war progresses we are discovering that we have few choices. What are they? 1. hire Mercenaries to fight for Zelensky. Expensive but can be done. 2. Get a nation to send in its people? Poland maybe? 3. Go in ourselves and start WW III in the hopes it will stay Non-Nuke.
In truth Russia won when Putin and Xi shook hands. With Chinas support Russia can’t lose. They can fight for a decade until Ukraine looks like Verdun—a moonscape. The ball is in our court now—the Europeans can see the end game—we do not —blinded by our huberis.

Feb. 2, 2023 The number of Russian troops killed and wounded in Ukraine is approaching 200,000, a stark symbol of just how badly President Vladimir V. Putin’s invasion has gone, according to American and other Western officials.USA didn't lose almost 200,000 killed and wounded in the first year.
There were 2,402 United States military deaths in the War in Afghanistan. 1,921 of these deaths were the result of hostile action.
