What is cheaper? This is or also dealing with China invading Taiwan? Fortunately the Western alliance is stepping up and that is a big surprise. It is ugly and our political elite will conduct frickery but Russia needs to bleed out here. China is seeing what sanctions will do to a net exporter economy. Those same sanctions will completely wreck them as a net importer.

Putin would never think we were involved by just seeing American tanks and fighter jets being used against him...

Who’s getting trained to keep these two pieces of extraordinarily complicated war machinery maintained, and when is the vast inventory of parts and equipment needed for said maintenance going to arrive?

The US military weapons supply is low from this war. US gave billions to Ukraine. The US gave military assets already paid for. Where did billions go?

What isnyour hard on with that guy? I believe analysts who are compiling information independently. As globalization breaks down and regionalization takes over the world is going to change. I don't like this shite either but Russia wasn't going to sit there and die out

If this poster is that dumb to believe that Ukraine is actually paying for these weapons, and not the US taxpayers, then he honestly doesn’t make enough money to even pay taxes because he works at the gas station or some shite. He dumb dumb.

I don't care how many tanks you have, if you don't control the skies they are worthless. Especially on the beginnings of the steppe. Ask the 90's Revolutionary Guard.

Last I heard Ukrainians did not control the skies and were purely defensive from the ground.

This only compounds the stupidity;it is not stand-alone.

With main battle tanks from the U.S. and Germany now headed to Ukraine, Kyiv is now focusing on securing modern fighter jets from Western allies.

Yuriy Sak, an adviser to Ukraine’s Defense secretary, told The Hill that he was optimistic about receiving Western fighter jets such as the American F-16s, which Ukrainians have sought since early last year when Russia first invaded.


After what the German said today in Strasbourg, I'm convinced they want a war. They're playing with fire in the middle of a powder keg.

Can't wait to watch Tboy and the rest of the OT crew start pushing for "defensive" nukes in Ukraine.

Technically, they're being loaned the money by us. They'll never be able to repay it so it means the US will have a puppet state that will be an orgy of international corruption that will inevitably breed massive suffering for Ukrainians and will almost certainly lead to a civil war in the next decade.

The MSM would be collectively freaking out with Trump in office. But, a Dem has us hurtling toward WWIII and it's complete crickets. Wild.

Not the billions in war aid.

It will be the trillions needed to rebuild both sides.

I've been saying since the outset that the war will be the cheap part. The amount of money we're going to pump into that place after the war is going to make Afghanistan look like a fricking snowball stand.
