Winning. An entire nation has been wiped out. The people that could leave did, and I doubt they will return, the people that couldn't or wouldn't leave were conscripted and killed. A successful money laundering operating operation for the psychopaths and pedophiles that run our nation. Slava Ukraini! Its possible that Ukraine no longer has the demographics to survive as a nation.

Ep. 97 Bob Amsterdam is an international human rights lawyer who’s been banned from Russia by Vladimir Putin. He says Ukraine is the single most repressive country he’s been to. “The idea it’s a democracy is a farce.” Once again, they’re lying to you and making you pay for it.

Two of Ukraine’s most celebrated and veteran brigades, the 47th and 67th Mechanized Brigades, both separately refused to fight this week and abandoned key strategic positions along the front lines. They were reportedly exhausted and upset about having had no real leave since being mobilized at the start of the war, and being forced unlawfully to soldier on past the ends of their contracts.

Ukraine only has about 100 brigades. It can’t afford to lose any, nevermind losing its two most experienced brigades. Even worse, the reason the 47th Mechanized threw in its battle towel was because when their relief brigade, the 115th, saw the scorched earth they were ordered into, they said ‘nope’ and stood down. That, apparently, was the last straw for the overworked warriors in the 47th.

So three Ukrainian brigades refused to fight this week at the worst possible times.

If this is true, then we will sone see Ukey units surrendering to the Russians.

They already have been.

Of course the whole point of both wars was to launder money to weapons makers.

Patrick says

Not sure what they were thinking. This is really bad optics. When I rarely talk politics with buddies, this image(s) are all a negative to Americans. We lean right where I'm at, but still, this just looks awful.

I still remember sitting up in that balcony as a kid. My dad was a crazy person. Glad I didn't see this shit. Pretty sure it was something about NASA.

Tangent aside, this is why I think Trump wins in a landslide. He's got unbelievable ammunition that hasn't even been used.

Doesn't matter unless the MAGA folks find a way to stop the steal.

Remember all of the media hype when it was announced that the US was sending Ukraine Abrams Tanks? How has that one worked out?

Ukraine Sidelines Abrams Tanks After Russian Drone Attacks



The Ukrainian military has opted to withdraw its US-supplied M1 Abrams main battle tanks from the front lines due to the threat posed by Russian drones, American officials told the Associated Press. Kiev has reportedly lost several of the tanks since their long-delayed deployment in February.

The decision came as Moscow increasingly relies on UAVs for ‘round-the-clock surveillance and air strikes, making the Abrams “too difficult… to operate without detection or coming under attack,” the AP reported on Thursday. The tanks have been removed from the fight for an unspecified period as Kiev and Washington work to “reset tactics,” Joint Chiefs of Staff Vice Chairman Adm. Christopher Grady told the outlet.

“When you think about the way the fight has evolved, massed armor in an environment where unmanned aerial systems are ubiquitous can be at risk,” Grady added. “Now, there is a way to do it. We’ll work with our Ukrainian partners, and other partners on the ground, to help them think through how they might use that, in that kind of changed environment now, where everything is seen immediately.”

Is it just me, or does that suit of clothes on Uncle Sam looks a little worn out and raggedy?

Traitor Joe Looks to Prevent Future Presidents From Ending the Ukraine War With a 10-Year Agreement

Soon on the heels of President Biden last week signing into law a $61 billion aid package for Ukraine’s defense, President Volodymyr Zelensky on Sunday indicated that he’s working with Washington on a bilateral security agreement which would last ten years.

“We are already working on a specific text,” Zelensky said in his nightly video address. “Our goal is to make this agreement the strongest of all.”

“We are discussing the specific foundations of our security and cooperation. We are also working on fixing specific levels of support for this year and the next 10 years.”

He indicated it will likely include agreements on long-term support centering on military hardware and joint arms production, as well as continuing reconstruction aid. “The agreement should be truly exemplary and reflect the strength of American leadership,” Zelensky added.

But ultimately a key purpose in locking such a long-term deal in would be to keep it immune from potential interference by a future Trump administration.

Volodymyr calls it the “10 for 10 war pact agreement.”

Fixed it for you Traiter Joe. The main reason why there is ongoing violence in Ukraine is the corruption of the Bidet crime family.

Trump's TreasSec can simply withhold the funds. Congress can only AUTHORIZE funds to be spent. But the executive branch has sole constitutional power to actually spend the money or not.

Interesting. UAVs will certainly make operating Tanks difficult. Though it be in the landscape best suited for Tanks, Steppe and rolling hills..

Only the UAVs that are big enough to carry ordinance such as a Hellfire missile.

Ukraine has taken out hundreds of tanks and APC's with cheap drones with basic charges or RPG warheads.

Doesn't take a Hellfire missile or large drone because the drone operators can easily target weak spots in the tank's armor.

Maybe, but I am skeptical. Why don't the Russians just run a jammer and thus disable the link between the drone and the operator?

And Russia has used drones to take out so many Abrams M1 tanks the US is holding off sending anymore to Ukeyland.
