When Ukrainian forces are marching and attacking through Russia proper using US supplied weapons, this meme would make sense.
Both Hamas and Russia are the belligerent attacking forces.

They'll continue aid as cover for pulling out evidence of biolabs, child trafficking, CIA honeypots, kickback money, globohomo spirit cooking locations, etc.
If fucking Potato haven't waffled on these deliveries for a year the Red Army would've been already out of its misery, USSR back in its legal borders and the peace everybody is clamouring for would be at hand.
Ukraine was only given a handful of the lowest range ATACMS and that was enough to massively change the equation eliminating Russian airfields and vehicles.

The Ukrainian military, as a result of long-range ATACMS missile strikes on enemy airfields in temporarily occupied Berdiansk and Luhansk, destroyed 9 Russian helicopters, with 15 more being damaged, according to Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) analyst, investigator, and author of Oryx and Bellingcat projects, Jakub Janovsky.
According to the analyst, the attack destroyed seven Ka-52 Alligator helicopters and two Mi-8 helicopters of the Russians.
In addition, 15 helicopters—eight Ka-52s and seven Mi-8s—sustained damage.
Janovsky noted that, for reliability, Oryx classified helicopters not subject to restoration as damaged. Most likely, he mentioned, these are irreversible losses, but there is currently no sufficient evidence to assert this.
Recall that on the night of October 17, the Ukrainian military launched missile strikes on airfields in temporarily occupied Luhansk and Berdiansk.
Later, U.S. media reported that the Ukrainian Armed Forces used American ATACMS missiles for the attack. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed this information.
The White House also officially confirmed the transfer of missiles.
Later, satellite images of the Berdiansk airfield after the ATACMS strike appeared online, followed by images of the airport in Luhansk.
As a result of the attack, Russian helicopters were destroyed, although the Russians are currently concealing their losses.
Of course, the US will whine when Russia gives long range missile systems to the Syrians or Hezbollah that then use them to attack US warships.
Through visual analysis of satellite imagery, our team found Russian military vehicle losses in Avdiivka between October 10 and October 20. The total number exceeded 109, indicating a significant loss of approximately aligning to a brigade-sized force in just ten days
Some quality CGI here:

If this is true, then how come the Crimea and Eastern Ukraine are now part of Russia? The above narrative contradicts the reality on the ground.
I laugh when people use the word "Illegal." WTF was this country doing for the last 30-40 years?
Might is right, and those who whine when it's the other side doing the same thing that our side has been doing continually since that time is the quintessence of hypocrisy.
I laugh when the Russian boosters cry about "coups" in Ukraine justifying Russia's cockup of an invasion getting hundreds of thousands of people killed.
The US killed about 800,000 Iraqis over a non existent weapons of mass destruction program.
socal2: "Uh - because Russia illegally invaded and took it before Ukraine was mobilized and armed with superior Western weapons?"

"Chairman of Russia's oil major Lukoil dies suddenly aged 66"
Was he vaxxed?
The article explained, even if the manpower problem could be solved, more aid would just be stolen at this point anyway:
Amid all the pressure to root out corruption, I assumed, perhaps naively, that officials in Ukraine would think twice before taking a bribe or pocketing state funds. But when I made this point to a top presidential adviser in early October, he asked me to turn off my audio recorder so he could speak more freely. “Simon, you’re mistaken,” he says. “People are stealing like there’s no tomorrow.”
Doesn’t sound like a very good advertisement for sending even more money to Ukraine, does it?

In April 1993, Kravchuk confided to then-Georgian president Eduard Shevardnadze his “main headache” that “Moscow and the US together have been twisting my arms painfully” in “demanding [the] transfer [of Ukraine’s nuclear weapons] to the Russian Federation.”
“I would understand Russia’s nastiness,“ Kravchuk said, “But Americans are even worse—they do not listen to our arguments.“
Shevardnadze stressed that the so-called Russian democrats led by Yeltsin, in fact, didn’t drop imperial ambitions, and that is why Americans are deeply mistaken in trying to make a deal with them at the expense of Ukrainian and other post-Soviet republics’ interests:
“[The Americans] do not know about our terrible, rough relations with the Russian empire [and] the USSR. Without that knowledge, building predictable and trustworthy relations with ‘democratic Yeltsin and Russia’ would be very difficult, whom [the Americans] currently call ‘Russian democrats’…I know many of them, talked to them a lot. They are still sick with imperial infection.”
He went on, referring to his previous job — as Soviet foreign minister:
“Being a member of the Politburo I had access to many confidential and top-secret documents—secret reports, notes, different non-papers elaborated in different Soviet structures—the Central Committee offices, KGB, Military Intelligence, think tanks and so forth…I can say that the documents I have read were just horrible and frightening: about the different scenarios of relations of the Center [Moscow] with the Soviet republics… They included the partition of those republics, expelling their populations to different parts of Siberia and the Soviet Far East—indeed some remote places. To accomplish those goals, they will use military force. All those plans are not archival ones! They are fully intact to be used if Moscow makes that decision.”"
Shevardnadze implored Kravchuk in 1993 to “negotiate so as not to undermine your independence and your security,” saying that “if Ukraine succeeds in keeping at least one nuclear missile as a deterrent,” it will safeguard its independence “from those madmen in the Kremlin.”
The history of nuclear disarmament of Ukraine under US pressure becomes even more striking, given that the US knew about Russian intentions to subjugate Ukraine under its control and even considered the Russian invasion of Ukraine possible. Following the final trip to Moscow ahead of the Budapest memorandum, Talbott asked then Secretary of State Warren Christopher rhetorically:
“Do we have good answers to questions about what we’ll do if reality refuses to follow the script we’re writing for it? What if Russia invades Ukraine?”
The question was never considered seriously enough in a theoretical hope that in the future when needed, such a possibility of invasion could be negotiated away with Moscow. Generally, the new imperial ambitions of Moscow were ignored by the US leaders, blinded by the strongly desired illusion of the seemingly democratic new Yeltsin’s Russia.
