Vindman leads new push to send military contractors to Ukraine
Daily Cable ^ | 2/3/23

Posted on 02/03/2023 1:44:57 PM PST by JonPreston

As a private citizen over the past year, Vindman watched the slow Russian buildup along Ukraines borders and, he said, became concerned about how Kyiv would support and sustain a long conflict. Vindman and his twin brother Yevgeny, also an Army officer, were born in Ukraine and immigrated to the U.S. as children.

Since the invasion last year, the Biden administration has approved hundreds of Bradley fighting vehicles, Strykers, Humvees, mobile howitzer systems and now Abrams tanks for shipment to Ukraine. But those machines must be taken from Ukraine to Poland or other NATO countries for major repairs, costing Ukrainian forces weeks as they wait for their armored vehicles to come back.

Weve got all sorts of resources going into depots and advanced bases in Poland, mainly, and inside Ukraine basically theyre on their own, Vindman said in an interview. Its something he hopes to change in the coming weeks if the money, the support and the workers can be lined up.

Isn’t that how our involvement in Vietnam started?

There's one big difference.

We didn't have people from Vietnam running our foreign policy, the way we have Galicians, Volhynians, and Poles running it today.

“Someone tell Mo and Shemp Vindman that most contractors probably lean right wing and do not appreciate being asked to fight another forever war on behalf of a corrupt govt.”

Contractors are businessmen and businesswomen. If the contract is lucrative enough, there will be takers, no matter their political preferences.

” No matter how good or motivated the soldiers may be, then almost always are defeated when they run out of food, fuel, ammunition and functioning weapons.”

So very true. General Pershing said that a century ago. “Infantry wins battles, but logistics wins wars.”

My question is: How does such a mediocre fellow become and stay involved in events at a national level?

How did Jeffrey Epstein get hired by Bear Stearns with no degree and no experience? How come Victoria Nuland isn't in prison?

In the future, if you want to work in the Foreign Service, no assignments where your grandparents or parents came from.

Allowing that in Eastern Europe has brought us to the brink of catastrophe.

You understand it's FR etiquette so might happen again. Besides I just don't like you.

Nice admission of stalking and harassment.

The war cheerleaders need to realize they are supporting a senile, corrupted old man with his Ukie war. Everyday more comes out about Biden and the Democrats demonizing Russia- my message- the emotional war cheerleaders have been had. NATO needs to be disbanded, let the fracturing of the EU handle their problems, Vlad is giving the West a black eye, get used to it, his country has the moral high ground.

The EU, Ukraine and the Democrats are filthy which time is proving.

On a daily basis you violate the “Willful spreading of state sponsored propaganda” rule. You should be ashamed of yourself 😢

Then you would apply that same restriction to those on your side who start similar threads, but from a different focus, right? I mean, all things being equal.

That's a lie. But I would argue that you are doing the same thing you accuse me of. I'll put my news sources up against yours any day.

Respectfully disagree. Can’t spend money if you’re dead.

"Vindman brothers, short memory Americans have …tied directly to Trumps impeachment, Trump Russiagate, etc…. Ukrainian… everything about Ukraine stinks."

Not to mention the call that Trump was impeached for was with Zelensky who was in on the coup with the Ukrainian-born Colonel Vindman.

Vindman reveals that he had been offered a position as defense minister of Ukraine
by Madison Dibble, Breaking News Reporter
November 19, 2019 12:05 PM

Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman admitted that he had been offered to serve as minister of defense for Ukraine. Vindman, 44, explained during his impeachment testimony that he had been offered the position three times but declined the position because of his loyalty to the United States. The lieutenant colonel was born in Ukraine, but his family immigrated to the U.S. when he was a toddler. Vindman claimed he did not know why he was offered the high ranking position of defense minister.
