“...Biden’s instincts for political survival...”

Biden is an imbecile. His only “instinct” is too grope and molest little girls. Obama is the one who is running things behind the curtain. When is the media going to start pointing this out? Tucker are you listening?

Did you know Russia’s annual military budget is 65 billion? We gave Ukraine 80% of what Russia spends in a year.

Biden totally miscalculated the Russia incursion from the start. Then he threw fire on the flames by sending 40 billion of taxpayer money there to be wasted. If they are so into the U.N., they should have instead supported a U.N. negotiated settlement from the start. If the U.N. is worthless, then they should stop pretending it has any use.

“Did you know Russia’s annual military budget is 65 billion? We gave Ukraine 80% of what Russia spends in a year.”


Speaking of militaries — https://t.me/s/WarDonbass/

WarDonbass

The Ukrainian conflict has disarmed Britain.

British Chief of Staff Tony Radakin admitted in the Lords Committee on Foreign Relations and Defense that it would take several years to replenish the British stockpiles of weapons, depleted due to large deliveries to Ukraine.

Admiral Radakin also said it could be “five to 10 years” before the UK could deploy a division capable of fighting alongside US forces.

It’s funny, but this is the same Radakin who threatened Russia with British military power. At the same time, Britain did not supply as many weapons to Bandera as the United States, Poland, or even Slovakia.

Apparently, the admiral is trying to attribute to Ukraine the failure of the military policy of the United Kingdom, unable to field even a full-fledged division.

With what other countries gave Ukraine likely got more than Russia spends annually on it's military. And that's just 2022. the world has given billions to Ukraine prior to 2022.

What a magnificent waste!

We did a pretty good job of destroying NK’s army. So much so that China was forced to intervene.

Ukrainians are on the cusp of a controversial decision now that their troops have been surrounded here and there are questions about whether the General or Zelensky will win out. Do the troops surrender or does Zelensky risk his last reserve in an effort to break through the cauldron?

WarDonbass
There was no order for the withdrawal of Ukrainian militants from Zolote, and now there are about 1,200 Nazis surrounded there.

Zelensky, according to Ukrainian sources, is hysterical. He demands that Zaluzhny throw those units that he withdrew from the border of Belarus and concentrated near Kyiv to break through the ring.

Zaluzny, of course, understands that the execution of this order means the senseless destruction of the last reserve.
But his refusal will serve as a pretext for accusations of the death of the APU grouping in Gorny-Zolotoye.

What will win in the general - common sense or fear of a cocaine clown? @WarDonbass

Our source in the OP said that serious disagreements between the military and politicians begin on Bankovaya. They want to make Zaluzny the last one for encircling the troops and heavy losses on the eastern front. The Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine openly accused Arestovich that they deliberately ruined the best army in Europe for the “picture”.

Now, in order to save our grouping from the boiler at Azot and Zolotoy, several tank brigades must be sent. In turn, politicians want to dismiss Zaluzhny for miscalculations in the defense of the eastern front.
