      Ukraine had the lesser army from the start. Only Russian incompetence, and their own good minds, kept them from losing. Investing in the defense of Ukraine is vital for a free Europe. It is a marathon, not a sprint

        The world’s largest, most well funded military in the world can’t take down a military more than half its size? The US goal isn’t to win, it’s to extend it to make as much money as possible for the MIC

          Three days to Kyiv. Book a room!

          The military industrial complex does not need a reason to get more money. The politicians could simply say that they want to sell old stuff and get new stuff. The most cost effective is to send all old stuff and replace it

              You have three options: China, North Korea, or Russia. I like that you imply that the elected government of Ukraine are nazis, whilst Russia attempts a genocide lmayo

                The democratic government of Ukraine that’s suspended elections, has outlawed all but the government sanctioned political party, and state run media? Sounds a lot like the US

                  This is a healthy thing to do when the nation is under a genocidal war. Done to have the government running.

                  It is also healthy to kick out the literal shills from the invading country from the room of politics.

                  This sounds like China, North Korea, and Russia to me though.

                  I don’t see how the US has suspended elections or any of the other accusations?

      I can imagine back in 1942 you’d been like “Shut down Hitler…any day now, for going on 3 years”
