Hate to break it to you, but if it can strip a tank then it could kill.
I’m sure there’s plenty of FReepers on here that will willingly part with their money to send to Ukraine (not you C210N). Right? Right?
Zelensky-sky is a pianist and a comedian. If only he had enough money for Ukraine researches to write the funniest joke, translate to Russian, and distribute for telling it to Russian soldiers to make them laugh to death.
(hat-tip to Monty Python)
You probably think Ukraine can win by giving the Russian military a mean stare.
I’m perfectly willing to send other FR’s money on a SPEEDY trip to aiding Ukraine.
That answer your question?
How about “NO!!”
I’m sure there are lots of FReepers on here that want to crush Russian man bad down to the last Ukrainian and down to the last US petrodollar.
“You probably think Ukraine can win by giving the Russian military a mean stare.”
A stare and then a bullet is the winning combination.
“As with all Leftists like Zelensky, it will never. be enough.”
Unlike Putin and his KGB crony Kirill, Zelensky has never been a card-carrying member of the Soviet Communist Party.
“How much of that aid reached the frontlines of Ukraine instead of the pockets of politicians and defense company execs?”
The FTX scandal is revealing that much of that money for Ukraine is held in trust by New York banks who are supposed to use it to buy things from American suppliers on behalf of Ukraine.
Instead it’s looking like hundreds of millions were laundered through FTX and then sent on to the DNC, Democrat politicians, and Democrat PACs.
its dispensed in small doses.... could explain some of my health problems though.
Update on Russian military operations in Ukraine for December 12, 2022.
- Russia continues its war of attrition - focusing on exhausting and overwhelming critical Ukrainian defenses around Bakhmut in eastern Ukraine/western Russia;
- Despite claims that Russian missile stockpiles are depleted, Russia continues carrying out regular, large-scale missile barrages against Ukrainian infrastructure;
- Latest US assistance package for Ukraine continues the trend of dwindling, inadequate support for Ukraine;
- US government procurement numbers over the course of the next 2-5 years indicates that at no time in the near future will the US be capable of producing let alone supplying Ukraine with the number of weapons and ammunition it requires;
- While Russian production data is not available, the fact that Russia’s stockpiles and military were configured for large-scale protracted and intense combat suggests its military industrial output is likewise configured for such demands;
- The Western media is now admitting that Ukraine can neither win, nor is there any moral imperative to ensure that it does...
I have an idea: How about we kick Russian corruption and influence out of Europe? Then replace it with stronger ties to the US that will create good jobs here. Or we could Make Russia Great Again. Decisions, decisions.
Putin can rot in Hell. I just don’t want tens of billions of tax dollars WE DON’T HAVE being sent to a place WE HAVE ZERO NATIONAL INTEREST IN.
By the way, MeganC, your post was a non-sequitur to me. My distaste for Zelensky is wholly independent from my dislike for Putin. One has zero to do with the other.
I have detested Putin from the day I first saw his name appear on the national stage, because I knew he was, and still is, a KGB stooge. His spots will never change. His invading Ukraine was the kind of thing Soviets had done, and would still do.
But it doesn’t make the likes of Zelensky, who is in bed with the likes of Soros, the American Democrat Party, and the scumbag up North, Trudeau, any better to me.
It is still the wealth of my country being given to people who are hostile to our interests, except when it suits them to speak as if George Washington was their Founding Father in order to get cash.
I don’t have to despise one and admire the other. I despise them both, and it galls me that our Leftist leaders who have profited handsomely from Ukranian corruption are pumping more money into the Ukrainian money laundering scheme, which will come back to them.
Heh, good post! Rebel Yell indeed...:)
“I’m sure there’s plenty of FReepers on here that will willingly part with their money to send to Ukraine (not you C210N). Right? Right?”
I had Ukrainian girlfriend from 1998-2002, she went back to visit her mother “on my dime.”
On her way out of the Kiev airport, a customs official shook her down, it was either payout or miss the flight. She paid the corrupt parasite a couple hundred bucks.
I know it makes me a petty person, but it still pisses me off.
“I despise them both”
👍
Neither Ukraine or Russia are worthy of an alliance with the United States.
We don’t have a common history, geography, commerce, government, or culture with Ukraine or Russia.
However, the morons in charge of every institution in America see it differently, they see ‘opportunity.’($$$)
