“Millions” could die in Ukraine’s war with Russia if US lawmakers don’t approve President Joe Biden’s $60 billion aid request for Kyiv, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky told CNN on Sunday.
Asked by CNN’s Kaitlan Collins about a claim made by the US Senator J.D. Vance that the outcome of the war would not change even if Ukraine receives the money, Zelensky said he wasn’t sure Vance “understands what is going on here.”
“To understand it is to come to the front line to see what’s going on, to speak with the people, then to go to civilians to understand … what will (happen to) them without this support. And he will understand that millions … will be killed. It’s a fact,” Zelensky said.

How many died in Rwanda? Genocide is an ugly business and the body count is often high. Invading Russian Nazis need stop genocidally erasing entire Ukrainian cities and go home to their filthy Russkiy Mir.

There is a misconsception about the “assessment” that we have to choose between either our border or our allies security. That is crazy-talk.
Americas post WWII policy (old-style-Republican and old-style-Democrat) has always been the same : Protect our borders AND protect our allies! It’s only together we can efficiently contain Russia’s lust for neo-colonialism and territorial expansion against America’s interests.
However... :
The New Democrats and the New Republicans are right now pushing for disastrous anti American polices that undermine our national security.
Indeed: The New-Democrats have opened our border, and New-Republicans want all of our allies to be invaded by our traditional worst enemy: Russia.
Nothing could be worse for our national security.
Its time to to do BOTH.
Help our allies AND secure the border. Both these are TIED together.
Securing the border is not costly anyway. Trump did it perfectly when he was President, and it didn’t cost much at all. Right?
This RN will make sure people I know will hear about her!
The borders need to be shut down!

“So the thousands of links proving what I said are all “Western media trash” hm?”
They ALL said that Trump ‘colluded’ with Russia.
...but then you probably believe that also.
Trump will be the last line of defense against Russia.
Trust me, he will be tough on them. At least if I relate to what he did against Russia during his presidency. It was pretty spectacular.
His help to Ukraine with large shipments of high-tech US weapons saved Ukraine from being completely overtaken by Russia.
Today, the second super power of the planet (Russia) is struggling in a never-ending war to keep barely 17% of the Ukrainian land they have stolen. Two years of war so far against Ukraine... being 30 times smaller. I call that a Ukrainian success its David against Goliat.
When it comes the suposed “collusion” Trump/Russia you were talking about, it’s been totally debunked, even by most Democrats I believe.
The Steele dossier is a cooked up bad joke.

Rheinmetal wins major artillery ammunition order for Ukraine worth over €140 milion
EXCERPTS:
Rheinmetall has won a large-volume order for supporting Ukraine with artillery ammunition. . . . The order encompasses tens of thousands of complete 155mm artillery shells.
The customer is a NATO partner nation whose declared intention is to support Ukraine in its defensive struggle with effective long-term military aid.
The shells will be produced by Rheinmetall Expal Munitions, the Group’s newly acquired Spanish subsidiary. The current contract highlights Rheinmetall’s role as the world’s largest producer of ammunition, especially in the large calibre domain.
The ammunition will be delivered in 2025. Production and delivery of around 40,000 rounds for Ukraine from an earlier order is already due to take place in 2024.
Demand for artillery ammunition is currently very high, due not just to Ukraine’s requirements but also the need to replenish the largely empty ammunition depots of Germany and other NATO and EU countries.
Rheinmetall plans a massive increase in ammunition production capacity in 2024 at its plants in Germany, Spain, South Africa and Australia, bringing annual output capacity to around 700,000 artillery rounds.
France ramps up weapons production for Ukraine and says Russia is scrutinizing the West’s mettle [January 18, 2024]
EXCERPT:
[French defense minister, Sébastien Lecornu] said increased supplies of shells for Ukraine are on their way. From this month, France will supply 3,000 shells for 155 mm guns per month, up from 1,000 shells per month at the start of the war and 2,000 per month since last April.

Thank you for your comment.
I agree. President Trump loves this nation and can multi-task U.S. border & Ukraine.
EXCELLENT!
THANKS FOR EXCERPTS:
>President Trump loves this nation and can multi-task U.S. border & Ukraine.<
Yes, President Trump loves America and can multi-task like no other, but where’s he going to get the money to continue funding the neocon’s forever, proxy war?
MAGA isn’t found in the zeepers’ lexicon. They believe in UKRAINE FIRST!
The could give a fig about America’s solvency. They’ll suck this country’s resources dry for the sake of fighting a war Ukraine will never win.

USA-FRANCE answers:
“90% of Ukraine aid dollars are not actually sent to Ukraine. Rather, these funds stay in the U.S., where leading defense contractors have invested tens of billions in over 100 new industrial manufacturing facilities, creating thousands of jobs across at least 38 states directly, with vital subcomponents sourced from all 50 states.”

USA-FRANCE answers:
You don’t know what MAGA means. MAGA means Americas interests First.
That’s the reason why TRUMP was the one who initiated this whole idea of shipping high-tech weaponry to Ukraine.
Obama only sent pillows and blankets! Remember?
So for you and Obama... Trump is obviously an Neocon. You oppose his US weapons shipments to Ukraine.

USA-FRANCE answers:
The NeoSoviet Russian aggression on Ukraine is economically speaking a boon for America. It is revitalizing its industry and produces thousands of new homegrown proud American Jobs. Europe now buys US weapons in mass quantities as well, and buys American energy to levels never seen before.
Are you against Americas economy gaining from this war?
I don’t see that as a problem.
Russia’s is telling us that its economy is booming now thanks to its Military Industrial Complex apparatus now at full gear.
So if Russia is happy about having its military industry producing like hell, why do YOU seem appalled that our own industry is gaining from all this as well??
On who’s side are you?

First of all, what’s your source for this?
Secondly, the fact that thousands more men, women and children will be killed and maimed in this proxy war by these weapons doesn’t matter to you because the spending would boost our economy is unbelievably sick.
You’re a tool of the MIC/globalists...nothing but a Useful Idiot.
How about peace talks?
Oh wait, peace talks wouldn’t enrich General Dynamics or fund the Zelensky/Biden Money Laundering Operation.
Thirdly, don’t question my patriotism. I’m an American. The name of France or any other country isn’t a part of my user name.
I talked about economic reasons because YOU did:

Thus, to a question of economy I responded with a question concerning the economy. Logical right?
I said this:

Then you said this:
bimboeruption: “Secondly, the fact that thousands more men, women and children will be killed and maimed in this proxy war by these weapons doesn’t matter to you...”

You got it 100% backwards.
You outed yourself as a fanatical anti-gun Democrat.
Weapons and arms is the ONLY thing that protects us efficiently against crime and thugs in America. Right?
But to you want to take away our guns! And you want to do the same to the Ukrainians who need those arms to protect themselves against the Kremlin criminals shooting and bombing their families, raping, and leveling entire towns and villages!
Your sens of inhumanity is truly beyond the scale.
You want to ban our right to bear arms in America as well then?
Do you also want to defund the police? Because it causes too many deaths when police try to protect citizens from dangerous criminals?
Please come back to reality and show some compassion for the Ukrainians. They NEED weapons to protect their lives against neo-colonial Russians, they need to protect their BORDER which Russia has VIOLATED.
You want Americas BORDER violated as well?
Are you supporting the SQUAD*?
*The Squad is an informal group of eight Democratic members of the U.S. House of Representatives. It was initially composed of four women elected in the 2018 United States House of Representatives elections: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts, and Rashida Tlaib of Michigan.
BTW, I'm not a shrink, but IMHO, you're in dire need of anger management therapy.
Great Elon quote. Apparently Volodymyr could care less how many Ukes die as long as his palace is furnished with pricy antiques.
Ukraine’s Zelensky holds talks with Saudi prince to push for peace plan with Russia
The Jerusalem Post
2-28-2024 11:45 p.m. EST
Zelensky presented a detailed 10-step plan for peace
Zelensky has presented a 10-point peace formula that seeks the expulsion of all Russian forces from Ukraine and accountability for war crimes, as well as the return of prisoners of war and deportees.
“The kingdom’s leadership has already contributed to the release of our people. I am confident that this meeting will also yield results,” Zelensky wrote.
“MAGA isn’t found in the zeepers’ lexicon. They believe in UKRAINE FIRST!”
This time your point of view is doubly wrong.
“Yeah, right. Putin, the guy who actually ordered the invasion, had nothing to do with it. Putin for years has said that Ukraine is not a real country, that they are just delusional Russians.
Sensing American weakness, he saw his chance to “reunite” Ukraine with Mother Russia and took it. All the talk about him being provoked is sheer nonsense.”
Greatly appreciate your Comment #105 that once agin brings clarity to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Thank you!
“Nothing Conservative about defranchising Ukrainians and their national aspirations exactly as much as Marxist Democrats do to Americans.”
EXACTLY! Nailed it!
