The government says it is handing out 18,000 machine guns to "all those who want to defend our capital".

[RandFan]

They've adopted the Second Amendment!

[DIRTYSECRET]

Let’s see: It’s Europe. Not all of our allies are on board, especially Germany.

To borrow a line from another distinguished American: Should we be leading from behind?

[WMarshal]

Gun control is slavery.

[Fury]

How can this be? There’s some FReepers who claim that Russian military personnel are not even in the Ukraine?

[PGR88]

All these guns will absolutely be banned, hunted and eliminated once the crisis is over.

Woke EU would never allow such otherwise.

[MercyFlush]

I’m also hearing that Soviet-era RPG’s are also being handed out.

The Russians are not going to score an easy victory.

The dictator Putin is also starting to face civil unrest in Russia over this nonsense. Seems there’s no shortage of Russians who do not want to see the return of the Soviet Empire.

[dfwgator]

Lukashenko will go first.

[taxcontrol]

From now on, anytime any politician talks about restricting guns for any reason. This should be the counter argument.

Also, should be used in response to the libs that try to say that a person with a gun cant stand up to a modern army.

[skimbell]

This just in at ace...

Here’s an amazing video on Ukraine.

Gee, I feel slighted. I kinda feel like that’s what I need here on my homestead for the coming Democrat Final Takeover.

LOL True...and also support Biden.

[Theoria]

I've seen nothing but Soviet styled small arms. I had thought Ukraine was gearing toward NATO goals, ie nato arms. What was the point of supplying them such soviet arms. I understand being able to used captured enemy weapons, but beyond that, the billions we've sent there doesn't seem to have gone far.

Insider reports to some of the FoxNews former Generals is that, Rusians have slightlly improved but the attack is being riddled with:

1. Poor Logistics
2. Failed Planning
3. Lack of Execution and goals not being met on battlefield
4. heavier than expected air losses and tank losses due to Stingers and Javelins.

The FoxNews generals say we have battlefield communications of lower level Russian officers in panic at losses.

[Empire_of_Liberty]

This is NOT the Second Amendment. This is not even Switzerland.

The President is willing to fight, to the last Ukrainian, that’s all.

[dfwgator]

It all went to the Big Guy.

[rrrod]

May be fog of war but let’s hope for the best.

[gloryblaze]

... There’s some FReepers who claim that Russian military personnel are not even in the Ukraine?

Say what? What have I missed?

Q's?

[rightwingintelligentsia]

It’s from the Bee.
