President Biden on Wednesday said the Ukrainian people have exceeded his expectations at a dinner with Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin and other military officials.
“I don’t know about you, but I’ve been to Ukraine a number of times. I’ve spoken with them a lot. I was deeply involved. And I knew they were tough and proud. But I can tell you what, they are tougher and more proud than I thought,” Biden said.

President Biden on Wednesday said...I’ve been to Ukraine a number of times.
Yes, to collect his 10 percent.
“I was deeply involved.”
Tease.
Biden thought? Maybe the teleprompter thought. What little thought Biden has left in his head, is not about Ukhraine. Unless it’s a flavor of ice cream.
Yeah. Nice to tell the people of another country how little regard you held for them. Just not a classy way to be President of the United States.
When Americans were standing in soup lines and listening to “Brother can you spare a dime” Ukrainians were picking undigested wheat from horse turds. That might lead to a grudge.
Maybe they should’ve made you wrestle them for your 10%.
We will fight the Russians until the last Ukrainian. Biden is just prolonging the war. And we have quietly slipped into a new Cold War that will have many unintended consequences. A complete clusterfu*k.
... and engaging in cannibalism.
.
Ukraine has opened up all the Spending.
They were blocked at 48 Senate Votes, Biden added Ukraine money into bills, they all fly by with 65 votes (or so).
Ukraine is the answer to everything for Dems. Covid rules were lifted by Dem Govs and a week later - Ukraine, Ukraine, Ukraine - Russia, Russia, Russia
.
What a juxtaposition: Boris Johnson over there with Zelinskyy, while Biden cavorts with the Easter bunny!
As Teddy Roosevelt said.....Bully Bully!
Its Ukrainians who are fighting Russians to the last man.
“Live free or die” is not just a cute license plate slogan to them.
They are more American than many Putard “Americans” here
There are more Ukrainian lobbyists in DC than any other country.
Everyone knows it’s a big gravy train......
At the begin of ALL wars we are always highly motivated, with the media on board, politicians talking big...
There are two key differences here. It’s not American boys dying and we have a near compete media black out on the other side.
It should be easy to keep the masses going (supporting)... Since you don’t have the Republicans exploiting this in opposition politics like the Dems did with Iraq. The MSM, ~85% of it is in bed with the Dems or self professed liberals and you have a powerful pro administration spin on everything.
Will there be long term consequences? Yes. But even those will be rationalized away.
When people get diagnosed with a horrible disease, they go through stages before they finally accept reality. Some never get to that reality/acceptance point. They die while rationalizing or denying... It is completely possible that even though we get a dose of our own medicine in the proxy war game we just started, even though you are seeing nations like Pakistan, India, Egypt, drift from us and old friendships deepen Russia-China, or counter movements to the USD as the world’s reserve currency pick up steam, that people never really connect this back to Ukraine or understand what the implications are us and how it ultimately affects them.
Exactly, they may be “ tougher”, but their eastern, northern, southern cities are in a pile of rubble, short of arms, ammo, men, aircraft, tanks, ….by all standards of war, losing.
Good thing Vlad spared all their electricity plants, coal plants, water, waste and sewage, food centers,etc… had Vlad gone to war, ( not a special military operation), ALL of Ukraine would be a smoking pile of rubble.
That said, Vlad does get some credit for exercising some “ restraint”.
The Ukrainian people, especially their children, do not want to die nor do most of their troops. Many have surrendered. Have you ever experienced or been in a war?
Couldn’t agree more. We have rushed headlong into this debacle without thinking about the long term consequences. It all started with NATO expansion.
So its kinda sad we're gonna have to sacrifice them all.
