WSJ ^ | 05-APR-2022 | Drew Hinshaw

The Czech Republic has been sending old Soviet-era tanks into Ukraine, providing badly needed heavy weapons to outgunned Ukrainian troops that are battling a much better-equipped Russian invasion force.

The efforts, described by three Czech and Slovak officials, mark the first time a foreign country has provided tanks to Ukraine since Russia’s invasion began Feb. 24. In a potentially even more important development, both the Czech Republic and neighboring Slovakia, which shares a border with Ukraine, are considering opening their military industrial installations to repair and refit damaged Ukrainian military equipment.

“Quietly”? In today’s world?

The only thing that remains quiet today is anything anti-PC or pro-conservative.

“Vladislav Davankov, deputy chairman of the State Duma, Russia’s lower house of parliament, said on Tuesday that his New People party proposed extending holidays in May to give people time to plant orchards and improve food security for the fall. “People need to survive,” he said, noting the surge in borscht set prices.”

The only difference between you and I is sitting here safely at home I don’t assume I can speak for people who are actually suffering in a combat zone.

The US is not Russia’s friend and will never buy both sides popsicles to break up this fight. If Russia is looking for an “honest broker of a peace deal,” maybe Israel or Egypt (before its wheat supplies run out) are willing to help.

We want a just peace, not just peace.

Sounds like a cute left-wing slogan. What does "a just peace" look like?

We need Czech Tanks on the southern border?

Bad thing is the “southern border” is no longer the Rio Grande. It is at least one tier of counties north now.

The “southern border” is now the Red River.

No tanks on border or armed troops, as Posse Comitatus prevents that option as much as some would like it.

Considering this is European countries taking care of European borders, I have no problem with it.
It seems to me they could mock us for failing to secure our own border.

“The US is not Russia’s friend”

It has been said that the U.S. is like that person that shows up at a party and gets everybody high on cocaine, but nobody really likes...
