MAGA does what’s best for him at any given time, everyone should know that by now. We only get two REAL options, and I’ll go with him over President Biden. He’s not going back to the Oval Office because the world wants conflict and craziness. I hope I’m wrong, but this Russia-Ukraine Conflict thread will still be going this time next year.

WTF do you think they expect to learn from an M1A1 without the special armor composite? You can bet Russia will make the biggest media craze out of it though like they figured out how to make the bomb in WWII instead of the U.S. Just remember an American Bradley IFV fricked Russia’s “best” tank up at an almost point blank range. Seriously, so many people ask you and you never answer the question. If you love Russia and believe they are just for invading and killing, destroying swaths of land in their wake and intentionally hitting civilian targets then why don’t you go sign up? They supposedly will take literally anyone, even a little shitstain like you.

Don’t forget about the 150 F-16s and 90 HIMARS they destroyed.

I was wrong, it was an A6

I take your word for it

But yes, they might do some ballistics tests, but otherwise it would just be a propaganda moment. They’d put it on display in their trophy park.

MAGA isn't concerned with stopping support of the Ukrainians or leaving Johnson hanging in an untenable position, he is just worried about how bad he will look when the bi-partisan House passes the discharge petition.

As to any 'deal', if the Dems allow it, it will take months to complete and the small print will effectively squeeze any real support into practically nothing.

The discharge petition is the only way to continue real support for Ukraine. Delays wrapped in ignorant talk about the national debt are exactly what Putin wants.

INTELLIGENCE UPDATE
UPDATE ON UKRAINE 11 March 2024

According to the Russian Interior Ministry there are about 2.8 million residents in the temporarily controlled territories (TCT) of Ukraine who are now Russian passport holders. Russia makes access to services in these regions, including social services and healthcare, conditional on the receipt of Russian passports.

In April 2023 Russian President Vladimir Putin issued a decree stating that residents of the TCT who refuse Russian passports will become foreign citizens or stateless persons. Such persons have the right to live in the TCT only until 1 July 2024.

There is a realistic possibility that any individuals in the TCT after this date who do not have a Russian passport will be deported or face detention. Recent rhetoric from the deputy chair of Russia's National Security Council, Dmitry Medvedev, indicates individuals might be deported to remote parts of Russia.

The Kremlin is pursuing a relentless Russification policy in the TCT. Another decree on military districts issued on 26 February 2024 states that the TCT will now become part of the Russian Southern Military District. The Kremlin is seeking to make the integration of the TCT into the Russian Federation irreversible.

Orban: Trump will stop funding Ukraine if elected

The Kyiv Independent news desk March 11, 2024 12:41 PM

Former U.S. President Donald Trump will "not give a penny into the Ukraine-Russia war" if elected again, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said on state television on March 10.

Trump hosted Orban at his Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida on March 8, referring to the Hungarian Prime Minister as "a fantastic leader." Orban has a long-standing relationship with conservatives in the U.S. and is one of the only European leaders to be openly friendly toward the Kremlin.

The two men discussed "a wide range of issues affecting Hungary and the United States, including the paramount importance of strong and secure borders to protect the sovereignty of each nation," according to a statement from Trump's campaign.

Echoing previous comments by the former president about his plans to negotiate peace in Ukraine within 24 hours, Orban said that Trump would end the supply of weapons from the U.S., a move that he said would mark the end of the war.

"It is obvious that Ukraine on its own cannot stand on its feet," Orban said.

Trump's plan for a proposed peace negotiation in Ukraine remains vague, and it is unclear if it would be able to garner enough support even within his own party.

While the proportion of Republicans who think the U.S. is providing too much aid to Ukraine is higher than the corresponding number of Democrats, a poll released in December 2023 found that it was less than a majority (48%).

Trump's sway over the Republican party has contributed to the continuing deadlock in Congress over U.S. aid to Ukraine. The Senate passed a funding bill containing $60 billion in aid for Ukraine earlier in February, but House Speaker Mike Johnson has so far declined to bring it to a vote.

The former president further raised concern in the West after he said that he would encourage Russia to do "whatever the hell it wants" to NATO members that do not meet the 2% defense spending mark.

Ukraine might have backed the wrong horse.

If a country is unwilling to spend even 2% on its own defense, why should we be expected to send our sons to their shores to shed their blood in their defense?
