And yet some of the Biden boys in this thread defend him continuously. I don't get it. You would think they could figure this bunch out.

Who are you referring to? I think about all the regulars in this thread are conservative Republicans.

GOP ok
I don’t recognize your other example.

GOP is making a big mistake. He needs to vote for the best candidate. It sure can’t be Biden.

Long detailed rundown on artillery production in Russia. Russia heavily depends on artillery while the US depends on air power. Ukraine needs a bunch of F16's.

Because I don't actually give a shite about Russia, we've been over this.

I'm aware, thank you for you service...but you've told me this at least 5x now. Can we get some more info on what you actually did in the military? I know dozens of veterans that actually fought in combat and they don't feel the need to constantly remind people.

what the frick have you done besides root for our enemy?

Helped fund a proxy war against my will. I've employed over 15 veterans so far in my small utility infrastructure company, hope to add many more in the future.

Biden Administration Announces Historic New Security Assistance Package for Ukraine
April 26, 2024

Unlike Presidential Drawdown Authority, which DoD has continued to leverage to deliver equipment to Ukraine from DoD stocks at a historic pace, including through the $1 billion package announced on April 24, USAI is an authority under which the United States procures capabilities from U.S. industry or partners. This announcement represents the beginning of a contracting process to acquire additional priority capabilities for Ukraine.

The capabilities in this announcement, which totals up to $6 billion, include:

Additional munitions for Patriot air defense systems;
Additional munitions for National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile Systems (NASAMS);
Equipment to integrate Western air defense launchers, missiles, and radars with Ukraine's air defense systems;
Counter-UAS equipment and systems;
Munitions for laser-guided rocket systems;
Multi-mission radars;
Counter-artillery radars;
Additional ammunition for High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS);
155mm and 152mm artillery rounds;
Precision aerial munitions;
Switchblade and Puma Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS);
Tactical vehicles to tow weapons and equipment;
Demolition munitions;
Components to support Ukrainian production of UAS and other capabilities;
Small arms and additional small arms ammunition; and
Ancillary items and support for training, maintenance, and sustainment activities.

Trump-proofing."

And before anybody responds with anything, they do not trust him, that's just the facts.

Good. More power to them. But on the other hand how often does Macron run his mouth and never back it up with action?

If the US gets into a shooting war with China how many of those European "allies" would be there with us? Maybe Britain?

If the Ukrainians believe they are in an existential battle to save their nation, let them attack what they think gives them the best chance to stop Russia.

I think some here would bitch about Zelensky and Ukraine no matter what Ukraine does or does not do...
