That Ghost of Kiev sure has a Bad track record.đź’€
There goes this year’s production...
More equipment that fjb sent to ukraine, with no replacement planned for, because it has always been biden’s intent to weaken the U.S. military.
And yet, the ukraine supporters still want what ever is left in the U.S. inventory sent over ot ukraine, on the pretense that it will help them win their war against russia....
because they apparently don’t want a strong U.S. military either
This after PDJT said that Ukraine should have more Patriot systems.
Putin sending a message?
“This after PDJT said that Ukraine should have more Patriot systems.”
Citation?
No more proxy wars. Go in and kill a lot and get a lot killed, or abandon the proxy and let the gator eat the other guys close by.
Fix it, or forget it.
WASHINGTON/KYIV, July 5 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump said Ukraine would need Patriot missiles for its defenses, after speaking with President Volodymyr Zelenskiy on Friday, and voiced frustration over Russian President Vladimir Putin’s failure to end the fighting.
Funny how that happens right when Zelensky goes a beggin’ for more.
Too bad. So sad.
I wonder... how many American contractors are involved in operating these batteries? The Russians don’t seem concerned about bombing the snot out of those radars. Is there a conspiracy between us & the Russians to not talk about the possibility?
I think the Russians have claimed to have destroyed every Patriot system sent to Ukraine 10x over. The Ukes are good at building mock-ups as well.
Could it be time for us, the United States, to throw in the white flag? Stop the armament, stop the sanctions?
They also found Al Capone’s lost loot.
Same with the Himars. In 2022 Russia claimed to have destroyed 44 HIMARS launchers
Those weapons were bought by the US to be used in a conflict against the Russians.
What is left? US has 2,000 older Bradleys in storage while 4,500 are in use by the military.
“Funny how that happens...”
Or not.
