Here’s an idea, instead of dribbling out military aid how about giving them back the nukes we convinced them to give up in the 90s among with a delivery system that can reach St Petersburg and Moscow. Let’s see if MAD works in that scenario

Ocheretyne, Chasiv Yar, Krasnohorivka: the Russians are still advancing in eastern Ukraine
17APR2024

(translated from French)
The Russian army gained five kilometers in a few days, reaching the gates of the Ocheretyne logistics node west of Avdiivka. Elsewhere in Donbass, it also presses the fortresses of Krasnohorivka and Chasiv Yar.

The commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian army, General Oleksandr Syrsky , recognized just a few days ago that the situation on the front had “considerably deteriorated” in the east of the country, citing “tactical successes” of the Russians who would seek to “create the conditions for a deeper advance” . The map of the conflict shows in recent hours a push by the occupier, particularly to the west of Avdiivka , this fortified town conquered on February 17. In a few days, the Russians managed to advance about 5 kilometers, approaching the town of Ocheretyne. Further north, same scenario to the west of the town of Bakhmout where the Russians entered the first dwellings of Chasiv Yar, one of the Ukrainian fortresses which protect the large cities of Donbass still controlled by Kiev. Same scenario again, this time further south, where the Russians have penetrated another Ukrainian fortress, Krasnohorivka.

Wow ! What a surprise !

The US votes $95 billion but what Ukraine needs most, air defence, is still not going to be sent.

They need that Russian oil and gas. Can’t get too serious about supporting Ukraine.

“ European Union countries, including the Netherlands, Germany and Sweden, are hesitant to provide Ukraine with Patriot air defense systems”
*********************************************************************

The EU “talks the talk” but it doesn’t “walk the walk” when it comes to THEIR SUPPORT OF UKRAINE. As usual, they want the AMERICAN TAXPAYERS to bear the burden.

IT’S NOT OUR WAR!

Considering they’ve been telling us if Ukraine falls American troops will be fighting the Russians at the gates of Paris by fall, they’d better keep them.
