**************

Point to you.

Now that you mention CONgress, I wonder if anything in those packages even exist in inventory* and instead are just imaginary names attached to the deal which is really CONgress just distributing the money amongst themselves.

* I know Strykers exist. I mean the particular individual units supposedly being shipped.

CONgressmen/women make around 200K a year. in 2 years they are ALL worth millions. Thats not what the founding fathers had in mind for serving their country.

Russia is planning to fight to their very last internet troll.

And they’re losing the Battle of Free Republic.

Guess we are about to get some idea about how the Stryker will hold up in near-peer combat.

Well much better then the civilian pick ups they now have been forced to use…
That said, they will meet the same fate as the M777 artillery pieces senile Joe sent over…maybe we can see a few paraded on Red Square in Russia’s annual military parade in May.

Did all that military hardware make Taliban flee? In fact, Taliban came back even more stronger while Afghan army crumble like house of cards.

I’ve around plenty Strykers . They are awesome vehicles . Fast moving and very silent. Plenty have been placed in storage ,as the Army has reorganized quite a big in the last few years. Must be these. They worked great in the Battle of Sadr City . Get some !

The government in Kyiv survived the initial Russian invasion. Tine to pressure Zelensky for a cease fire. We should not be encouraging them to fight to the last Ukrainian.

The Ukraine war has shown that armored vehicles are vulnerable to a large number of relatively inexpensive weapons.

You are all nothing but trolls straight from the Karl Rove wing of the GOPe and you have won nothing. You may not answer for it on earth but I doubt God will look kindly on vicious nuts cheering on death and destruction.

If you’re talking about these Strykers then these have all been already paid for and of course by taxpayers. They were bought a while ago.
