Training for Ukrainian forces on advanced U.S. Abrams tanks has begun, and while those systems will not be ready in time for the imminent counteroffensive, those weapons will be critical in the longer-term to Ukraine ultimately pushing Russia out of its occupied territories, Joint Chiefs chairman Gen.

The Associated Presstitutes fail to mention some of the positives.
On the other hand, the Deep state media and propaganda offensive is making huge advances!
We can recognize a losing hand, and we’ve decided not to throw more money into the pot.
Maybe they’ll be ready in time for next year’s Spring Offensive...
The attacks on Russian territory using artillery and drones are stepping up amidst all the distracting drama regarding the “Ukrainian Offensive”.

I think you may be misjudging the current administration. ;-)
The Ukrainians have been training on the F-16 already. That’s been reported on FR last year.
The Ukes can buy most of the US weapons they want from the Afghani Taliban.....
I wish that were the case.
Symbolism over substance someone use to say.
Linda is going to have a conniption fit.
I am surprised the Russia allows them into the country. I would assume that their air force could blow them up on the ground before “training” began.
Lucky I wasn't drinking coffee.
I’m thankful for my nasal congestion today.
After F-16s, F-18s
