U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said Russia’s military capabilities should be degraded after he and Secretary of State Antony Blinken met with Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky and announced more U.S. military aid to the country.
“We want to see Russia weakened to the degree that it can’t do the kinds of things that it has done in invading Ukraine,” Mr. Austin said Monday after the highest-level visit of U.S. officials to Kyiv since Russia invaded Ukraine on Feb. 24. Mr. Blinken said: “Russia is failing, Ukraine is succeeding.”
In what could be a significant escalation of the conflict on Monday, large fires broke out at fuel-storage facilities in the Russian region of Bryansk, some 60 miles from the border with Ukraine, as well as at a nearby military fuel depot, Russian state media said. Russian missiles struck railroad targets in central Ukraine early Monday.

“I have no problem with weakening Russia. They’ve been trying to weaken us forever.”
Like favoring Trump? In any case, it is true that they’ve been trying to weaken us, but we have a political party that has done FAR MORE to weaken the country than Russia could ever dream of, and we also have the Neocons who are trying to get us into WW3.
But, at this point, China is doing FAR MORE to weaken us than Russia. Too bad the Neocons never consider that.
Far more problems at home...
And damned stupid.
“I have no problem with weakening Russia. They’ve been trying to weaken us forever.”
That’s a fact.
“But I want this “administration“ weakend.”
I want this administration GONE! And it starts with the mid-terms in November: Cutting off the administration at the knees is the first step.
Apparently, any action that does not grant favors to, or offers support of, the Russian regime is a borderline act of war. The Young Putineers think not buying Stolichnaya is a borderline act of war.
Austin hopes are on Russia to transfer its arms technology to China.
Anything that is bad for America, must be pushed.
It seems pretty stupid to say this. When Ronald Reagan made the joke about bombing Russia, it was supposed to be private.
Many, if not most of which, have been exacerbated by the Chinese and Russians.
“In any case, it is true that they’ve been trying to weaken us, but we have a political party that has done FAR MORE to weaken the country than Russia could ever dream of...”
Who do you think has been infiltrating the Democrat party for the last 70 years or so? The Russians said so themselves: They outright said that one of their goals was to infiltrate and take over one of the American political parties, and they specifically identified the Democrat party as the chosen candidate.
Yes, Biden is pushing us into a hot war with Russia at a time when our defense readiness is inadequate and our strategic petroleum reserves depleted.
When this gang in power is weak then they will be gone. They’re more than half way there.
I guess that means we won’t have to spend so much on NATO.
Austin is an idiot. The job is way over his head.
Putin Stooges worst affected.
“BOZO” AUSTIN.... STFU....
“Yes, Biden is pushing us into a hot war with Russia at a time when our defense readiness is inadequate and our strategic petroleum reserves depleted.”
Wasn’t it Obama who said, “Never underestimate Joe’s ability to f**k things up?”
Agree with you. I hate both regimes.
“Austin is an idiot. The job is way over his head.”
Waaaay over his head.
He is an affirmative action hire, as the black caucus demanded Biden nominate a black SCOTUS justice and a black Sec’y of DoD.

Never forget how Russia and China sabotaged the N Korea talks. Trump was being attacked by the RATs at the time.
