Behind paywall.

Highlights: Javelin antitank weapons and Stinger air-defense systems on way to Ukraine. Also UK is sending antitank weapons to Ukraine along with a small number of British troops to train the Ukrainian military in how to use them.

Next, need CIA to setup training camps in neighboring countries to arm Ukrainian partisans to drive Russia out if they invade.

Bleed Russia’s economy and military.

F Russia. F Putin.

Great idea, drag NATO partners into the mix, exposing them to intense pressure from Russia and raising the specter of wider war. Do they think Russia will not react? Do they think Russia will just sit there and let their neighbors basically join in hostilities against them?

Sounds like someone gave 10% to the Big Guy.

But I’m glad to see Ukraine being supported.

“U.S. Allows Baltic NATO Members to Send Arms to Ukraine (Stinger missiles!!!)”

As usual, misinformation. The US didn’t allow the arms to be sent, they voted with enough in NATO for it to happen. NATO allowed it to happen. If the US was the only country whose vote meant anything, then why spend the money for office space when it could be done with a fax or a telephone call? And I can promise you the secretary of defense with the secretary of state, and whoever tells the POTUS what to do would be writing the script to be used. Nothing unusual there except the WSJ wanting to sensationalize their material with lies.

Kind of like giving mace to a cop that has to patrol the housing projects.

Lol...don’t give the Ukies anything you don’t want the Russians to end up with, or sold on the black market.

Why does the US have a say what another country does?

We should not be allowing any weapons, money, or troops to get involved. It’s not our problem, and it would be much easier if we just allowed Russia to annex the ethnic Russian portion of the Ukraine, personally who cares if they take it all over again

Seeing all the neocons wanting to follow their pal Biden into war reminds me of the old Bushbot loving days here, rooting for wars in the middle east.

So, the military under Trump provided weapons to Ukraine but stored them in the Baltic states.

Cool
