The time to arm Ukraine is right now: A crucial window for Kyiv — and the world
NY Post ^ | April 7, 2022 9:27pm | Gen. Wesley Clark

Posted on 04/07/2022 8:06:57 PM PDT by conservative98

Ukraine needs heavy weapons and air support. Tanks, multiple-launch rockets, self-propelled artillery, air support — MiGs and Sukhoi aircraft — and mobile air defense. They need hundreds of thousands of 152mm artillery rounds. The US-supplied Javelins and Stingers are necessary but no longer sufficient.

Why? Because there is a window of opportunity now — for a week or two perhaps — in which Ukraine can counterattack in the north, south and east to expel Russian forces. This will require mobile armored forces and air power. And if this window is lost, the future is darker and more uncertain.

NO MORE WAFFLING

This is truly an inflection point in the war in Ukraine and therefore in the future of the international system. The Biden administration must lead NATO in this strengthened support to Ukraine. Eastern European allies have precisely the thousands of tanks, artillery pieces and munitions the Ukrainians need for this phase of the conflict, and they must not hold back. NO MORE WAFFLING!

Sadly, Ukraine is paying dearly for the greed and sins of America’s elites.

If you’re supporting Zelensky, you’re supporting Soros.

All of the Freepers supporting Putin should take a long look at the moral decrepitude.

Heres the deal. Im not supporting putin, im supporting reason, the lives of my fsmily and children. In 2014 obama, soros n co installed a deep state corruptocracy in ukraine. They also defunded hyperviralization, aka gain of function.
Biden slipped and told us the real deal, this is all about tegime change in Russia. They would sacrifice 1000 times the people of Ukraine for this purpose.
When they do, it will be with a globalist. Now, putin is evil, but he is a nationalist.
His replacement, installed by this will impact your very home.. your posterity.
Putin is the only leader standing in their way.
Now they are using the covid strategy to silence opposition to their narrative. Truth.
Same year 2014, same strategy.
The Democrats were about to get wiped out over inflation and gas prices and now they are getting away with it. Every Democrat i know, is 100 percent buying the lies.
Anything that obama and soros is behind is going to affect you personally. It already has.
Rational thought, not emotions.

Good post. Democrats have been programmed. On Tucker last night he showed about 3 different "journalists" who were calling for young adult American boots on the ground in Ukraine. Each one of the newsies had crazy bulging programmed eyes.

Since basically the whole world, including Trump, is opposing Putin's invasion, you can list some detestably people. Try listing who supports Putin's invasion, I'll start: Russia, North Korea, Eritrea, Syria, Belarus, Noam Chomsky, etc.

THis is not our war...we should stay out of it. No troops, weapons or air support.

Humanitarian aid only.

The Rooskies and the Ukes deserve each other. They are both corrupt hellholes, and they need to work it out themselves.

Does anyone really believe this will end once Russia is expelled from Ukraine ?

Weasley Clark isn’t to be trusted. None of these REMF’s are to be trusted.

Wesley Clarke nearly got America into a war with Russia in the Bosnia war. He didn’t succeed so he wants to start a Russian war and WW III now.
What a creep.

Russia signed the Budapest Agreement which acknowledges that Ukraine is a sovereign nation and Russia agreed to “respect Ukraine borders”.

There’s nothing stopping us from “respecting Ukraine’s borders” per the signed agreement and send in our own supplies and troops and whatnot. Russia has shown a military weakness in their operation, so we would be able to mop it up and help “assure” Ukraine’s borders per that agreement.

My perspective is that if we ever send US boots on the ground, then I would expect a strong Lend Lease agreement in place, wherein we build emBASEees to fight all that terrorism going on in the region.

We could call it the BBudapest AAgreement LLend LLease program because it would take BALLs.

The whole Putin is fighting NWO is nonsense. Russia, during Putin's time, before the invasion has integrated itself in the world economy as never before.

Watch this from brief from Austrian General Staff. You will not find any such detailed brief from the Pentagon or any talking head in the MSM including General Keane or Petraeus. In particular chart at 6:28 shows massive UK losses. No wonder Zelensky is begging for weapons.
