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?
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.
More war drum beating. The chicken hawks are getting all excited.😿
Neocon war porn.
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.
PuddinPop Joe corners Corn Popov with his lethal icecream cone.

More likely the Joek will fill his adult diaper like he's meeting the Pope.
Two words:
Tactical Nukes.
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.
” If the war goes badly enough, Putin could be forced from office.”
I disagree. He’s there for life. This dude assassinated ALL his political enemies by poison etc. the past 20 years. alone. You dont get to be a dictator by following the law LOL.
This is nothing but Biden giving back to the country that he bullied into firing the prosecutor that was looking into prosecuting him and his son for crimes committed against Ukraine.
Putin doesn’t need the cost of a full-scale invasion to take down the Ukrainian government. He’ll just use FSB, GRU and Spetsnaz people who are fluent in Ukrainian to do an “unconventional” takedown of that government.
If there is a war, and that is a big if. The start of the war will be an naval and aerial bombardment (Shock and Awe) to destroy Ukraine’s ability to fight a war. Russia would rule the skies, land, and sea.
I don’t think Putin would be a politically correct (woke) as us. He would fight it as a war, to win and destroy the enemy. I could see a surrender even before the first tanks cross the border.
Imagine that you had overwhelming superiority in the air, sea, and land and no qualms about using all your forces to maximum benefit. How would you fight?
Big deal. So they sent anti tank missiles over.
Those work against planes and Helicopters?
Because Russia has about a 5 to 1 advantage.
These GD dumb assholes in pig faces administration cant wait to get somebody fighting.
BTW, has the NATO navy re-established contact with that Russian sub yet?
Didn’t napoleon and hitler prove the futility of offensive war during Russian winters? Or is Ukraine far enough south to nullify that? I’d think real war should wait a couple months, whereas for scaring folks by the eating heating oil/gas supply the time is now.
Did Congress approve these war making activities or the arming of Ukraine with the latest and greatest missile technology?
Are we going to leave them all behind when Biden wimps out here, like he did in Afghanistan?
Add to that, are the Russian soldiers really eager to risk being maimed or killed for Ukraine?
If they were fighting off an invasion on native Russian soil, yes I would expect them to be very motivated to fight fiercely. But to invade another country for Putin’s greater glory, or for increasing revenue for the oligarchs? Don’t think so.
