No problemo. The Ukes will sell ‘em back at a slight markup on the black market.
I’ve said it time and time again. I would rather give away (or waste) billions of dollars in weapons to a people fighting and dying for their own freedom, than to have 1 US Soldier die for an ungrateful people.
We just spent $2.26 trillion, 6500 American live and 20 years fighting 1 guy that we killed 10 years ago and the entire Afgan nation of 40 million ingrates.
Fuck them all, let them all fight for their own freedom.
A little context would help
I’d rather not give anything to anyone, especially to a non-NATO country that is heavily involved in a money laundering operation that we probably couldn’t comprehend.
We have our own problems and we’ve sacrificed well more than enough saving this planet.
Your example of Afghanistan is a perfect one. But, there was too much money to be made and everyone had their hands in the cookie jar.
The money laundering and outright theft that took place in Afghanistan is no different. And to think, now we have about 100k of them living in this country on our dime.
If one little conflict drains Europe, NATO and America of arms, what would fighting China cost?
We might just find out. Sadly.
For quite some time this conflict has been a contest between the US and Russia and the public getting in between has been suffering. If it wouldn’t be for the US, this conflict would be long over, and many people still would have a roof over their heads and Europe would have retained as steady supply of gas/oil. Russia may have its faults, but it is debatable if life under the control of Zelensky and his cronies would be much better or preferable. What most people forget is that Russia of today has been rejecting radical socialism/communism realizing that it has no future where at the same time the US along with some of its friends has been doing just the opposite embracing this crap with wide open arms and look what it is getting us. Turmoil and mayhem in socialist run cities as well as prices going out of sight.
The U.S. military is being depleted of weapons also and Biden will not replace them as he wants to weaken our military as much as possible. He is draining and depleting our emergency oil reserves also, and won’t replace that either. Trump had these reserves totally filled with gas that was bought at very low prices; now to refill the reserves will be at current high gas prices (caused by Biden inflation) but the point is moot as Biden won’t bother to refill the reserves.
Biden wants to destroy our Country as much as possible so that the next President, knowing it will most likely be a Pub with conservative Houses of Congress, will have to spend all their time correcting and rebuilding our Country from all of the destruction caused by the Biden regime, leaving little time for new conservative initiatives to take place.
In KIAs maybe. For equipment they probably lost several times that the UK possesses.
“The nuke plant was actually taken over months ago. Only recently has renewed fighting come closer to that plant. Russia is parking weapons (rocket launchers, tanks, etc.) right next to buildings, water lines, power lines, etc. to use the plant as a shield for said weapons. It’s part of why they didn’t want the IAEA to visit.”
Is there any evidence whatsoever for any of the above claims?
The video from the inspectors themselves.
Which shows them walking past rows of Russian vehicles and kit INSIDE the complex.
And also shows a cockamamie Eusdian explanation for why a rocket fired into Enerhodar, nose first in the ground, is pointed AT Ukrainian held territory rather than pointing away from it.
The Russian explanation was bordering on, that it did a Starsky and Hutch style handbrake turn before just before landing, conveniently facing the direction it came from, before speeding up.
ALL of that was captured by official observers travelling with the inspectors.
You once again is pushing conflicting narratives and make stuff up while at at. There is no video of any artillery at the plant.
Uh.... like every news source, from the far Left to the far Right - from friendly nations to unfriendly. It’s general knowledge - the nuke plant made news literally in the first couple of weeks of the invasion - it was one of the first targets.
The claim is that Russia sheltered artillery to hit Ukrainian targets from station.
Other than the images that have shown up across many platforms that are clearly images taken by cell phones, drone, etc. that are clearly at that facility?
I have seen tons of them allegedly supporting this claim and none had any artillery on it.
