More "UKRAINE NEEDS MORE MONEY" wailing.

[janetjanet998]

Ukraine has had the capacity to intercept four out of every five missiles
_\\
I thought they intercepted 11 out of 10 every time

Sounds like large air raid ongoing right now

[Darksheare]

They had Ghost of Kiev jumping out of his aircraft and kung fu fighting the missiles mid air but he slipped on some bad kasha and fell.

[Brilliant]

I think if Ukraine falls before the election that will create additional headwinds for the GOP.

[Fido969]

This process has been stalled for weeks due to political stalemates in Washington. While the Senate has passed the necessary bill, it is currently held up in the House of Representatives by Republican opposition.

And THAT is the point of the article.

This is how wars of attrition work. The Russians are masters of this type of warfare. The deindustrialized West, weakened by allowing outsourcing with malice and intent as a way to destabilize America and punish flyover country, cannot fight this type of war. The American military has spend 30 years feeling tough bombing turd world koranimals and no longer really knows how to effectively fight industrial wars and will take years to be able to do so.

Did they run out of babushkas and pickle jars?

[butlerweave]

May and may not

Has there ever been one day of honest and factual reporting?
Last year Putin was so deathly ill he was about to be kicked out of office by rivals. And Ukraine had days of ammo left before total overrun.

If I didn’t know better I would think the news media is totally unreliable and worthless.
One verifiable story: More millions in taxpayer money goes out.

Did they run out of babushkas and pickle jars?

Unfortunately, yes, however they still have the launchers.

[BobL]

It’s ALREADY FAILED, which is why the Russians are now dropping 3300 pound bombs on the ukes.

[Navy Patriot]

You are correct, the “four out of five” was an unfortunate misprint.

[Navy Patriot]

Footwork is important!

[Navy Patriot]

Yes, that evil Republican OPPOSITION in the House!

[Navy Patriot]

Well, all the Ukrainians are Looking Up lately.

[hardspunned]

The Russians have been having tremendous success in taking out Patriot systems and S 300 systems the last three weeks or so. I don’t even think I’ve heard of a single Uke “claim” of downed Russian aircraft the last ten days. Russian planes are now releasing horrifically destructive FAB glide bombs with impunity.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Time to pull the plug.

[Navy Patriot]

Has there ever been one day of honest and factual reporting?

I think there was some around 1953, before the media started lying about Joe McCarthy.

[PIF]

When the actually work, which is sporadic.

[MinorityRepublican]

We can’t manufacture artillery shells anymore.
