Yep. Problem for them is the Europeans have a tough time manning their militaries as it is.

It’s going to be increasingly difficult for the US to attract enough quality people, too.

Young people are waking up and don’t want to be used and treated as canon fodder for the NWO/Globalists.

You say “US government” and refuse to look further.

It was a far-left California congressman Ro Khanna, who pushed this thing through.

He is a god damn moron.

So in other words about one percent of what we (actually not WE, actually Austin and Milley, under the command of Joe Biden) left behind for the Taliban.

Well, this time we can leave it behind for Putin unless Zelensky doesn’t sell it to him.

There’s an excellent write up by Sauropod, https://freerepublic.com/focus/news/4055507/posts?page=6#6

which I am excepting below

“There is no “Nazi” AZOV Bde as many on FR are parroting. As a matter of record, for this fight, (right or wrong, and while hated, and with pre-known Putin propaganda value), realizing they were on the precipice of another (historically the 6th RU related invasion) full scale invasion, UA “stood up several new Brigades. UA took roughly 2100 UA Guard and ordered the integration of the infamous 350-400 Azov NAZI BN.

You can argue it was wrong to integrate the “Azov BN” into a new “stood-up” Bde, but you cannot argue this is a neo-Nazi Bde. To borrow a medical term, to do so is not “clinical” (factual), and is an emotionally driven and false mis-characterization of the roughly 2100 hundred UA Army Guard regulars comprising 4/5’s of this Bde.

Additionally, many on Freerepublic continue to regurgitate patently false information as to how Eastern UA was truly orchestrated by Russia, and the available related detail. As well, the same strategies have been utilized by KGB/FSB and GRU in many countries, past and present.

— The false narrative spawns The false narrative as to what is actually well understood as UNKNOWN casualty counts from Eastern Ukraine, which are truly divided, as Russia and Russian backed forces have also killed thousands of actual Ukrainian’s, and there has been a dynamic displacement of well over 1.5 Million Eastern Ukrainian people, often having their small farms and homes stripped away. This has happened both from within Russian controlled areas, and along the slowly Westward pressing “Line of Contact”.

Might as well stop reading right there.

This isn’t a NATO country so why are we using our own taxpayer money in a country that we are supposedly not at war with?

The invasion of non-NATO Kuwait might be a template for a world-wide mobilization and shock and awe march into Moscow, and Russia actually has WMD, but Japan and others aren't going to pay for this one. Also, we don't really want to create another huge power vacuum to benefit China, our real competition these days.

Not just continue it ... drag it on as long as possible. Not enough weapons or systems that might allow Ukraine to drive the Russians out, just enough to bleed them dry. A necessary precursor for the Great Reset/New World Order.

Nope, I’m not in Egypt.

The fact is that you are supporting a dictator, Putin, invading a free independent country

“Zelensky has banned all political parties except his own”

Ok, this is a flat out lie. You should ask the FSB to give you better material.

There are three problems with your statement:

1. It wasn’t Zelensky. It was the Ukrainian National Security and Defence Council. Ukraine is a democracy and its president does not act unilaterally on things like this.

2.They didn’t ban any parties. They suspended them from engaging in any political activities while the country is at war.

3.It wasn’t all opposition parties. It was parties that have supported Russia — the enemy. Most of them are very small with no representation in parliament. The largest has just under 10% of the seats in parliament (13% if you exclude Crimea’s seats which are currently vacant because it hasn’t been possible to hold elections due to the Russian occupation since 2014).

Out of the various political parties in Ukraine, those suspended were a handful of political parties (there are still more than two hundred political parties in Ukraine) which were promoting Putinism or similar Russia-friendly positions. Those parties were only suspended, not entirely banned.

Exactly.
In order to usher in the WEF/NWO, powerful nations must be diminished, reduced or neutralized.

For Russia by sapping it’s military strength and will.
For the U.S by population replacement.
For other Western thinking nations by the corruption of the political elites. (EU)

We will soon see if China will go along.

Right now the plan is working.

“They banned Russian speaking people in Ukraine (over half the population) from even speaking Russian”
Call up the FSB, your lies are old.

Russian is commonly spoken in the street, especially in certain towns. Anyone in the service industry or the government fluent in it and will provide service to you

Education in Russian is allowed in public elementary schools, and in any private schools. Russian is allowed “on an official level,” but the state language must be available.

Russian is protected by Ukrainian constitution as minority language and can be studied up to 5th grade in school.

Many Ukrainian politicians speak and campaign in Russian.

Russian is a native language of the President himself and he speaks him on many occasions, though on official duties he uses Ukrainian.

There are cities in Ukraine that are predominately Russian-speaking like Odessa or Kharkiv.
