“This will cause the FR ho-ho cheerleaders to go into paroxysms..”

Not really. Same old predictiona from the pedophile that never come true for the last two years. Quite the yawner at this point.

BTW Russia will never have Odessa.

All mighty Putin has finally decided to take the gloves off?

Was he just trying to make it look hard, by waiting two years, and sacrificing Russia’s biggest losses since WWII?

If he could have, he would have.

He can’t.

Zelensky was put into power as a puppet by the Obama globalists in 2014. No doubt about that because they have European pipeline control and cash with zelensky.
Obama started a Syrian war for the same reason, European pipelines. He put US troops a stones throw from a military base Russia established in the 70s.
If Russia Russia Russia is so bad, why did Putin look the other way in Syria.
As much as I hate to admit it… the Obama globalists started declaring war on pipelines used to transport Russian gas to Europe.
And they aren’t stopping until they take Russia. They require it.
We must be all out of Afghanistan lithium.
Hunter Biden was doing pipeline business in Ukraine for Pete’s sake.
If the globalists can replace Putin with a puppet, they gain access to all of Russias natural resources and slave labor to get it.
Putin is

Excellent if true. That means the endless supply of taxpayer funds to Ukraine that feeds the us politicians back pockets may finally come to an end.

You are right. Since there are none of the needed weapons or ammo available (they have not been manufactured yet), the $61 would have had no effect for months. I suppose DC could palletize $61 billion in cash. The Ukes could throw bundles of hundred dollar bills at the attacking Russians if we got the cash there in time.

Ukraine never fought for it and they assumed they were part of the Russian empire and Soviet Union like Ohio assumes it's part of the United States.

My goodness. So the Ukrainian war for independence (by which they were ultimately defeated by the Red Army in 1922 and essentially forced into slavery under Soviet control with attempts to demolish and destroy their distinct culture) never occurred? The Ukranian national anthem doesn't reference their struggle to avoid extinction "Ukraine is not yet dead" - the words of which date back to the 1800s indicating their long struggle for independence and their own national and cultural identity (and the Soviet Union banned its use)?

I don't think it will happen given the effectiveness of Ukrainian resistance, but if Ukraine loses, and if Russia invades a NATO member like Poland, Romania, Finland or the Baltic States, the U.S. will be at war. You could see a roundup of anti-Ukraine conservatives that would make the persecutions of the January 6th demonstrators look like a speeding ticket or a building code violation. There is plenty of precedent: look at the Civil War and the two World Wars.

Zelensky was elected in 2019.
Before that he was a comedian and movie/TV actor.

The guy who was elected in 2014 was Petro Poroshenko.

Zelensky defeated Poroshenko in the second round of the 2019 election.

There are many months of backlogged 155mm ammo produced, plus large stocks of 155mm and HIMARS cluster munitions. There were vast stocks lined up for disposal and these were barely nibbled at.

Other critical items that can be immediately shipped are Patriot missiles, which have run very low in Ukraine, AMRAAMS for the NASAMS systems, ATACMS of the cluster variant, TOW, Javelin and misc other missiles.

Add the very large numbers of GLSDB that were just entering production before shipments were halted.

Russia won’t invade a nato country unless provoked I pray. The story of ethnic Russians being abused by nazis in Ukraine is just a cover story. It’s really about suppressing NATO expansion. That said, due to the dire economic conditions in the world today as well as a complete clown show in our government the last 3 years I believe that either we or one of our allies will create the spark that ignites a global conflict. After all economies tend to recover well after war. Well at least the countries we destroy because we channel trillions everywhere to keep countries safe. Too bad we can’t keep our own borders under control and our own people safe.

Putin was negotiating with NATO?

This is news to me.

Maybe Fat Scott should marshal his facts before he starts his bellowing.

Excellent, Republican Wildcat. Saved me some keystrokes.

But the Madman won't ever acknowledge it, because he gets his history from vlads_discount_revisionist_history.com.

Since somebody has a short attention span:

It is difficult to support billions of dollars in aid to Ukraine, not to mention Israel and Taiwan, while the Federal government fails in its primary responsibility of securing our borders from massive inflows of illegal aliens. I hope that Speaker of the House Johnson remains firm in preventing the bipartisan Senate bill from consideration unless adequate funding is secured for a border wall from San Diego to Brownsville and the “remain in Mexico” policy is reinstated.

I am happy I brought a smile to your face!

But seriously, the US has ongoing production or large stocks of the items I mentioned. For instance, @250,000 rounds of HIMARS cluster munitions that were the principal ammo of the MLRS rocket artillery. These are usable as is on the HIMARS vehicles as well as being the feedstock of the GLSDB conversion, when mated with the Air Force SDB bomb.

Drawdown of US stocks is a policy decision more than anything.
Personal view is that there us no better use for all this, as the justification for holding nearly all these stocks was to fight the Russian military.

The wall would be useless without a change of policy by the administration. Illegal migrants will continue to be waved through.

That is the gist of the border problem - not funds, but policy.

The tradeoff you want would be useless. You need to replace the President and his cabal.
