The United States has supplied more than $27 billion in security assistance to Ukraine since Russia invaded the country on Feb. 24, including over 1,600 Stinger anti-aircraft rocket systems, 8,500 Javelin anti-tank missile systems and over 1 million 155mm artillery rounds.

How about the Islamic Chechnyians? And the Godless Wagner group? Few of Russia’s troops are Moscow/St. Pete’s Christians.

That’s my take on it as well; Russia is the final reserve of unmolested Christianity in the world, so it has to go.

Might as well start getting people trained on how Americans will die in mass numbers in the nuclear fire of Russia’s nukes.

Then more will die from the radioactive fallout. Then the nuclear winter will settle in because of all of the dust that has been thrown up into the upper atmosphere.

I know a lot of FReepers are absolutely looking forward to our pyrrhic victory against those evil Russians!

Go ahead, believe your fears, go lie down in the center of the arena and get chewed up and eaten by the hungry lions

I’m not worried about it. I’ll just throw up my hands and know that a bunch of dumb azzes ruled the day and failed spectacularly.

What it all comes down to is that the globalist collectivist elites are going to get the WW3 they have been wanting for a great while now. It’ll be a good cover for the Great Reset not only for the financial reset of the globe like they did with WW1 and WW2, but especially the reset of the global population.

And there are plenty of uninformed, uneducated, naive, and gullible people here on FR that go right along with their propaganda.

Of course not.

Your outlook and attitude are biased upon your narrow politics rather than the reality of the present wide world condition. If you don’t acknowledge the world, you have no clue as to world events

Everyone is a sinner. But while Ukraine shuts down churches and American leaders would love to do the same, at least Russia extolls the value of Christianity and stands up to fight for it. So don't be surprised that Christians in America side now with Moscow and against Washington.

When someone is throwing darts at you and someone else stands before you with a shield, you care less about how sinless they might be than the fact that they are shielding you. The reality is Moscow stands for what is right, no matter how imperfect or hypocritical it might be, while Washington might as well have Satan as its head of state (and I'm not just or even primarily talking about foreign affairs).

>> And there are plenty of uninformed, uneducated, naive, and gullible people here on FR that go right along with their propaganda.

What baffles me is how so many on FR observe with their own eyes:
— The Biden cabal raping the nation through unrestricted illegal immigration
— The Biden cabal trashing the nation’s economy
— The Biden cabal pushing insane levels of sexual perversion, to the point of parody, INCLUDING deep into our formerly great military
— The Biden cabal caving to the globalists on the fantasy of climate change, to the detriment of every American citizen
— The Biden cabal sanctifying abortion at any age as a sacrament in their New World Order religion

... and many more manifestations of evil governance ...

AND YET, when it comes to Ukraine, suddenly the evil Biden cabal is transformed into freaking RIGHTEOUS MILITARY GENIUSES with perfect judgment who can do no wrong... worthy of ALL of our support and tax dollars... and these freeper toadies drop to the ground and commence the bootlicking of their Biden cabal betters at a dizzying pace...

I just don’t get it.

If Russia comes anywhere near to succeeding in Ukraine, NATO will fracture (if it hasn’t already at that point), and we’ll see a nuclear arms race in Europe (and likely elsewhere too, with Japan, S. Korea, and Taiwan all likely to participate. I’d trust most of those countries individually, with such weapons, for now, but over a longer period and adding up all the low probabilities, one arrives at a certainty of a major conflagration, and poor odds of us not getting hit. :-(

In a sense you are correct. The USSR was merely one iteration of Russia.

Interesting numbers. One million 155mm artillery rounds?

That is about 3500 a day of combat, roughly on average, likely increasing with time.

That's delivered, surely not all used yet. But as a rough guess, maybe 3k used per day, so far?

Russian supporters were claiming, what, 60-70k artillery rounds served up by Russia per day? That puts some perspective on it, even allowing for the usual Russian exaggeration.

Granted it's a long frontline (~1100 km or more depending on exactly how defined.)
