The West is poised to send nearly 200 battle tanks to Ukraine in a potential hammer blow that could help Kyiv win its war against Vladimir Putin...It brought the total number of tanks Kyiv can expect to have at its disposal to nearly 200, with potential for more...Dmitry Peskov, the Kremlin spokesman, said the new tank deliveries "would bring nothing good to the future relations".

There is no “IF” to it. By EVERY way wars are measured, Ukraine *IS* winning.

RuSSia’s lines have ONLY retreated since March/April of 2022.

Ukraine’s military is STILL growing. They are better equipped, better trained, better disciplined, and now have better weaponry.

RuSSia’s military is now convicted felon draftees and yet still shrinking, poor training, poor discipline, and poor equipment which is also shrinking.

End game is now here for PUtler.

It is not fear of Russia.

I don’t want my family being drafted (recruiting shortage) to fight a war that was never declared, and was conducted as a money laundering scheme. We have no dog in Ukraine hunt.
Ukraine is not an ally and they are not NATO. They are as if not more corrupt than Russia with their porn-drag dancing President who after getting word he is getting tanks is now demanding jets and missiles. Their oligarchs are getting rich as is military industrial complex. Are YOU?

We have sent billions...nearly one TRILLION and it looks a lot like we are not done. dennisw, we don’t have the money.
We are bankrupt and our economy is the worst in western world...

We are struggling here with increased food and fuel costs, and if we proceed with WWIII as many say, things are going to get worse. Economy is struggling, currency in jeopardy. How I wish we had a MAGA president who doesn’t think we need to poke the bear. Trump would have negotiated a peace—Biden and Zelensky don’t want peace nor do the globalists. They want war. Trump didn’t. Neither do I.

Invasions?!??

You want a war? How about YOU and like minded go down to our southern border and stop the invasion of military age men — whom we are having to support with lodging at various hotels, food, etc. Don’t like that idea? Well, you could go to Ukraine instead of posting on FR...

Sorry but I could not disagree with anyone more. Please forgive me as I am not a neocon.

Thanks, but calm down. We have not sent one trillion dollars to Ukraine.

So they will get 200 hundred tanks, when will they get there, where are the tank crews to man them coming from. where is the support personnel to keep them running, where is the fuel and spare parts coming from? How many months will it take to train tank crews from Ukraine Army so they can used?

These are just pesky details that no one has thought about or provided answers for.

Ukrainians are Europeans. Many loves and likes to them as they defeat the half Mongolian Moscow beasts.

Do we pull a Neville chamberlain “peace in our time”. That ended well, right?

No, what didn't end well was abandoning that policy and declaring war on Germany, a war which ruined Britain and the Empire, a war from which they have never recovered.

As much slow-walking as has occurred with much of the support, I wonder how much support, in $$ or equivalent dollars, has actually been delivered to Ukraine in 2022?

Simply taking out Ukraine’s fighter jets A) Has not been completely successful; and, B) Even if accomplished, the Ukies had significant numbers of SAMS and have received large numbers of Stingers and have also received some other SAM type systems.

Russian aircraft in fact do not have air superiority or even air dominance over parts of Ukraine’s land the Russians have not taken. That’s why the Russians have had to resort to large volume missile and Iranian drone attacks. These can do substantial damage, but not nearly on the scale of real air raids.
