HUH WHAT??? Decide what is victory????

[larrytown]

Lead, follow or get out of the way.

Austin: “Uhh, we’ll follow then.”

[Four of Six]

Thet will declare “victory” when the US stops giving them $$$$.

[rightwingcrazy]

“I think, again, we’re going to focus on what’s in front of us right now and put them in the best possible position to continue to be successful. And I think that will lead us to Ukraine being in a — again, a good place, whether or not the fighting continues or whether or not they decide to go to the negotiating table.”

Meaning either that he supports perpetual war, or that he’s opening a door to a negotiated settlement, or both.

Not for nothing...they will eventually give up the two areas Russia held referendums for.

Plenty of folks wish they were back with Mother Russia...say it...and it will cost you your life.

I keep getting the feeling that this will be over soon. Russia will take the land it wants — a big strategic chunk of Ukraine but maybe not all of Ukraine. Ukraine will say “It could have been worse. So ... we won.” And the US will say, “Ukraine has declared victory, so another epic win for our side.”

“Ukraine’s going to decide what victory’s going to look like,”

So Ukraine is dictating US foreign policy? (Guess blackmail does have its advantages)

[Erik Latranyi]

Zelensky is our new Commander in Chief

[silverleaf]

“ Ukraine” decides nothing
The president is a homoerotic dancer turned comedian
He is controlled

[JonPreston]

Lloyd Austin should visit OUR EU and NATO colonies who incidentally, “are not party to the conflict” according to Jens Stoltenberg. General Raython Austin should give special attention to US-occupied Germany. They are becoming wobbley.

Excuse me, Dumbass, but what’s in front of you is a landscape of destruction strewn with a hundred thousand corpses - and tens of billions of completely unaccounted for dollars.

[PIF]

Surrender monkey are very active on this thread - almost like they have collective agenda ...

[dfwgator]

BS, our State Department is deciding what “victory” is.

[rktman]

General Nuisance sopromo. Maybe I need to change my tag line. “NOT the military I was in!”. WTAF?! Hey lloyd, 🖕

[FlyingEagle]

Victoria Nuland can decide.

[ransomnote]

To keep getting money sent to their war effort, the Ukraine has to make it look like they are winning or can win. So they're flying ancient Soviet-era helicopters - it's enough for funding, right?

Victory is when the treasury is completely looted and our adversaries and competitors become sworn enemies.

No plan... at all. Just throw money and arms into a black hole.

[Flavious_Maximus]

Think of a 500 pound tribal chief living in a mud hut in Africa. Visions of grandeur.

That’s Austin. Same thing.

[PGR88]

In other words: “I’M WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO TELL ME THE PLAN.”

“Austin: ‘Ukraine’s Going to Decide What Victory’”

I agree on this one, although their decision will be made AFTER Russia replaces their government.
