Somehow against all odds the clumsy and fumbling Russian military is about to capture a city of 430,000 people.

Even with the all that US aid it seems that the Russians have found a way for a win.

quote:

The U.S. has provided Ukraine with more than $2.6 billion in military aid since the beginning of Russia's invasion, committing more than 1,400 Stinger anti-aircraft systems, 5,000 Javelin anti-armor systems and hundreds of Switchblade drones, among other equipment and weapons, according to the Defense Department.


Russians have now taken to more aggressive tactics.

quote:

"On April 14, two Russian strategic heavy bombers Tu-95/-160 have launched cruise missiles hitting the territory of Ukraine from Krasnodar Krai of Russian Federation airspace," he said. "Also for the first time from the start of the armed aggression bombs were dropped by a long-range bombers Tu-22M3. This airstrike took place, hitting Mariupol."


The real winners in all of this conflict? The Industrial Military Complex.

The ultimate losers? The Ukrainian civilians. An estimated 10,000 have been killed in this city alone.

The US government doesn’t give 2 shits about civilians there, outside of propaganda purposes.

Unfortunately, this is true.

Im reminded of a quote from a navy seal in Somalia, our mission was to unite.....and we united friend and foe....against us. Thats the two certain outcomes, everyone now hates the US, and thousands of people died needlessly because we intervened where we didnt belong.

Well I just saw a TikTok that says the Simpson predicted a Ukrainian win on 5-5-2022 way back when.

And the Ukrainian government is the same. Could give a flip about their own people.

If you seriously think the US is pushing Ukraine into the arms of Russia you are ignorant of several hundred years of history.

Hopefully,you just wanted to use your quote for a long time and in your eagerness you chose an inappropriate moment.

I’m sure the fine folks of Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, (insert country here) are all very thankful we came into their country to preserve our constitution.

This is a story that is repeated over and over. I mean, we leveled the middle east, and people are surprised that there are more terrorists than when this all started?

You could blame the libs for practically every single war we have been in as well.

They all need to be locked up for murder.
