Biden and the deep state are going to put American troops in areas to act as trip wires.... that should make the families of all those Army/Air Force and Spec ops really happy to be used as bait.... Why not? It's Memorial Day weekend.... let's add to the lists, right?

Well said!

Moscow provided both North Korea and North Vietnam with large amounts of weapons and all that was top of the line too not this current slow drip of older weapons that Ukraine is getting.

In addition there were Soviet pilots flying their Migs in Korea and Soviet specialists operating air defense in Vietnam.

“This never happened at all. The Obama and Trump administrations didn’t arm Ukraine.”

France has also decided to send their SCALP-EG missiles. Probably takes some time to make these work with the Ukrainian Migs.

Biden should drop the excuses and finally send ATACMS - similar capabilities, but launched from HIMARS or M270s. Ukraine already has the capabilities that he was so afraid of. They just don’t have the ground-launched version.

Trump damn well armed Ukraine, and was proud of it.

“The anchor on a Russian state television show quickly interrupted Russian opposition politician Boris Nadezhdin after he suggested that Vladimir Putin be ousted from office...

“...”We simply have to choose different authorities to govern the country that would stop this story with Ukraine,” he said on the show on NTV, one of the three main state channels. He believed that a different government would allow Russia to “build relations” with European countries and “everything will come back into place...”

Nice to see more and more US and European weaponry flowing to the Ukrainians. Also.... On Twitter, I have often seen training videos. The latest was Ukrainians training in Spain. And now going home to fight the Russians

The French SCALP-EG is the French version of the Storm Shadow missile, jointly developed by France and the UK.

The Ukrainian MiGs that have been modified to carry and launch Storm Shadows will not require any modification to carry SCALP-EGs.

They might require some because complex software is complex.

Yup. Not our circus, not our monkeys.

Let Europeans deal with this. They hate us anyway.

Let their kids die for their endless blood feuds.

Amen. Two generations of my family barely survived fighting in two world wars for these clowns.

They’re at each others throats endlessly and then, as you point out, they want us to come in and clean up the mess.

USA. Uncle Stupid Ass.

After the USSR ended, when exactly do you think Russia became our enemy?

Seems like things got worse when Putin seized Crimea and Obama was President. Trump tried to be cool and you know, we didn't have to go to war over it. That bought us four years. But Trump is no longer the President and here we are.
