300 reasons for Putin to think twice about invading Ukraine: US sends Kiev a plane-load of lethal Javelin anti-tank weapons - each with Vlad's name on them
Daily Mail ^ | 26-JAN-2022 | CHRIS PLEASANCE

Posted on 01/26/2022 7:18:41 AM PST by SpeedyInTexas

An 80-tonne shipment of US anti-tank missiles has arrived in Ukraine - just the latest delivery of high-tech weapons aimed at inflicting maximum death and destruction on Putin's forces if he decides to invade.

A plane loaded with 300 Javelin missiles worth some $50million landed in capital Kiev late Tuesday, the third part of a $200million shipment of American military aid that is being sent to help its ally.

The shipment also contained grenade launchers, as well as ammunition and other non-lethal weapons systems, and comes in addition to other anti-tank and anti-aircraft weapons already supplied by the UK, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania.

I believe that makes 690 Javelin antiitank missiles, not counting what the Baltic countries sent to Ukraine.

Plus 2000 British NLAW anti-tank missiles plus thousand of Ukrainian produced Stugna-P anti-tank missiles.

Against 1200 Russian tanks. Ukraine is now overflowing with anti-tank missiles.

Putin is getting cornered. If he backs down and doesn't invade, he looks weak at home and abroad. If he invades, Russian forces could be in for a bloody, messy adventure. If the war goes badly enough, Putin could be forced from office.

He won't invade, Russia could never withstand it. He's negotiating and attempting to look strong on the world stage. Once he gets something to hang his hat on he withdraws and can claim to be a hero at home where I sense he is losing his grip on power, this could keep him in power, that's his strategy.

This is getting ridiculous. We are more intent to start this war than Russia or Ukraine, the two supposed combatants!

If and it is a big if the headline is correct and the Javelins all have Putin’s name on them, it may be the most juvenile stunt yet by the Dimjo Administration and had to be thought up by the absolute most senior official in the Dimjo Administration.

It should be clear to everyone this is yet another round of fake DC deep-state hype.

More “Russia, Russia, Russia,” more jerking our chains for some hidden political reason

Feeling stupid yet?

Nobody is actually intent on starting the war, except maybe a few kooky neocons who don’t have any real power. We’re posturing, Russia is posturing, and Ukraine is just caught in the middle.

The Russians surely know that tanks are not as effective as they used to be, but they could still get sucked into a fight that proves too difficult for them to finish.

No training needed? So simple, a caveman could do it?

Would we not have to send in ‘advisors’ to train the Ukrainians on them?

Can ANYONE with any sense consider the economy and southern border? Maybe try unstopping the pipelines, and opening the shipping?

Maybe Blinken can make a deal with the Taliban’s 84 BILLION in weapons and send it all to Ukraine for a cut rate?

What happened to the nasty pandemic? War covers lies.

If that’s true, then the “deep state” must control Russia too if it was able to force them to make all these belligerent troop movements and blustering public statements.

So we’re sending all kinds of military equipment including advanced missiles over there now.

Are we any more sure of the Ukraine Army being able to fight than we were of the Afghan one? How?

“he is losing his grip on power”

The average Russian real disposable income is down 9.3% since 2013. 8 years of no gains.

Easy solution: Vlad just needs to send over a couple hundred thousand ‘migrants’. Check and mate.

Seriously, I doubt there will be much armor involved - infiltration and Russian partisans are a bigger threat, IMHO.

The only logistics that PoopinJoe knows is how to get the next icecream cone out of Doc Jill.

Logistics will be King here, and the conflict is on Russia's front doorstep.

Screw the senile puppet.
