No need to mention the 3 ( possibly 4) Himars launchers destroyed….I do put my money on Vlad to destroy quite a few more….and yes, I am itching to see the captured in tact one paraded in Red Square….western media never mentioned the Himars losses , did they, nope, not a word…

Gee, Vladimir - those HIMARS really got you worried, huh? Don’t worry - more are on the way. Stay right where you are. 😂

When the invasion started in February the Ukrainian military was MIA.

They went Fedayeen from the start, which is a very bad sign if you’re a Ukrainian civilian.

Per Pentagon, we have given away 1/3 of our Himars, how stupid is that?
Even more troubling is the numbers are the same for our Javelins and Stingers….Kadyrov will be sure to return a few.

Ugh, throwing billions of dollars of equipment into a black hole, where it is lost, stolen, misused, captured or blown up.

Another Joe Biden disaster.

Ok, now tell me how ineffective they are. That’s the other half of the propaganda line. You’re too funny. 😆

"Per Pentagon, we have given away 1/3 of our Himars, how stupid is that?

What I heard and it's backed up by this link is that we have over 500 HIMARS, and we can give up to 100 without degrading our own defenses.

HIMARS – High-Mobility Artillery Rocket System

"Lockheed Martin has delivered approximately 500 HIMARS launchers to the US Army and its international customers as of October 2018."

There’s the “western media is lying to you” propaganda point, right on cue. You folks are way too predictable

Posted in the Religion Forum. I can see the potential humor.

LOL!

It looks like they cost about $12 million a piece.

If we sent 100 of them that would be $1.2 billion and well within the $40 billion congressional apporpriation.

I say ship them. Make sure you’ve got air defenses to protect them.

I also say build a bunch of fakes. Plastic hollow shells fitted on top of cheap vehicles. Make Russia waste their ammunition.

All we are doing, by delivering advanced weaponry to Ukraine, is giving the Russians a free crack at figuring out how to defeat/counter them.

The USA is being run by a group of brain dead morons. Is there anything else we can do to help Russia get another leg up on us? Morons…..

I’ve tried to think of an American peace negotiator and the best I can think of are Rex Tillerson or Jeff Sessions.

I suspect the French Brexit negotiators are also strong candidates.

At this point, the Ukrainians and Russians are just killing each other for no substantial gain.

The Russians could take more territory, but it would be hostile and they can’t afford to spare the troops to hold much more hostile territory.

Perhaps, but these were "old and not-new" HIMARs, not new and improved and still shiny HIMARs.

For every weapon system of the West destroyed in Afghanistan or muh Ukraine, that's a potential new military contract for some enterprising M.I.C. defense contractor to take advantage.

Even more money to line the pockets of perfumed princes and REMFs and the entire procurement train. And not a word about US national security.

Follow the money and contracts and which Congress-critters are pushing for these contracts.

The relevant question is not how many systems have been given, but how many missiles. Do you have data on that? It may be out there, but I haven’t found it.

There’s the “western media is lying to you” propaganda point, right on cue.

Well let’s see, “ the vaccine will give you immunity, then the vaccine will require two shots, then the vax will require three shots, then the vax will not prevent you from catching the C flu, then you will need the vax every six months, but the vax will keep you out of the hospital, then well, yes, the vax does have serious side effects”….

You have been played, deceived, not once but twice….carry on.
