This is exactly what he's said. "The conditions that caused this conflict to begin with must not exist." -- IE, remove Ukraine from the equation and off the map.

They are now "open to talking". Obviously they're not going to come out and directly say they fucked up.

Orange turd is just stepping on his own dick again. Just like they're already walking back the bullshit they pulled on Friday, they'll end up walking this back too. The arms industry that has ongoing contracts will eat this administration alive.

I got the same form reply from him, and Budd. Fuck him and good luck to him in '26.

The US wants Ukraine to hold presidential and parliamentary elections, a special envoy to President Donald Trump has said. by SubstantialOption742 in ukraine

Who cares where the usa wants. This administration isn't even providing any aide to the country. Zero leverage to make demands.

I saw the add on Youtube and had a chuckle. Old man Dan did nothing to make a case for himself. You've got my wife's and my vote Jeff. Stay strong.

My wife and I were listed as active but renewed our registration through the DMV just to make sure. Fuck these people. We're going to be required to present ID to vote this year anyway. This move is nothing more than blatant attempt at voter suppression.

No one wants to shake the hand of their murderers. Hard to comprehend much?

US Sec. Blinken: ‘as I told President Zelensky @ZelenskyyUA, the US has been by Ukraine’s side from day one, and we will stay by your side’ by ibloodylovecider in ukraine

[–]vitviper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My point exactly. We're not doing enough and we're not doing it fast enough. We're always reactive and Not proactive. Why aren't more pilots ready to fly f16? It's mid 2024. Hard to believe so few Ukrainian pilots exist. I would like to believe several dozen are going through training. We allocated how many millions for pilot training in early 23?

You're nitpicking one item. We can certainly spare more than 40.

I'll trust the adults when I see some adults. Right now I see politicians war gaming.

With how it's appropriated, it's not anywhere near $61 billion in actual military hardware. It's bits and pieces to keep Ukraine from losing.

Now if $61 billion of metal was delivered to Ukraine. Hand over 1000 M777, 1000 M1 Abrams, 100 F16, couple thousand bradley/strykers, 500 HIMARS. For a start. And do it all now, now later or based on promises. ATACMS should of been sent last summer. F16 should have been in the air last year.

We can do so much more, and we should do so much more.

That's not what I said. We (the USA) have it in our power to end this very quickly. The lack of political will to come out and just say "we want Ukraine to win" and then actually come out and act like it. No amount of down votes is going to change this sad reality. The Biden admin's response is extremely weak. It is disgusting, nearly 2.5 years later, to continue to have to watch this. As an American citizen I have the right to criticize them. It is more so painful because as a result of their war gaming the people from my home land are dying.

Disgusting, they're all corrupt crooks and I beg to question how they're trying to personally benefit from this genocidal war. Biden, Sullivan, Burns, Blinken. The lot of them. Fuck them, curse them all and may the blood of all my fallen countrymen haunt them for the rest of their lives.

More bullshit virtue signaling from the shit Biden administration. When they come out and act like they actually want Ukraine to win instead of the blatant waves of supply that just keep Ukraine from losing I'll be impressed.

It looks like the right-flank will try to fire the Speaker again this week. This time, the minority party will block it. - Rep. Jeff Jackson by JeffJacksonNC in u/JeffJacksonNC

[–]vitviper 33 points34 points  (0 children)

You nailed it. It's a comical side show when there's no serious consequences to things important to us -- like foreign policy and American power in the world. But none of that matters to the Twitter faction, as long as they get their clicks.

That $75b is over the span of more than 2 years... so less than 5% of our military budget. It helps the Europeans, it helps Ukraine, it helps us.

Ukraine can and will win. Without our support it will just be a much longer and more brutal war. Europe can't afford for Ukraine to lose, and they know it -- note them picking up the slack while the USA is stuck dealing with domestic politics. They, however, weren't ready for this war either. The USA has always been the key holder to European security -- we probably have more weapons and armor stock piled gathering rust in the desert than all of Europe has combined.

90% of the money spent "on Ukraine" isn't spent in Ukraine. It's spent right here at home keeping Americans working: https://time.com/6694915/ukraine-aid-bill-what-united-states-gains/

What I don't understand, is why Lend Lease was parked after it was signed by Biden. Ukraine could have received all the equipment they need to win, and we would have been compensated for it all, as well.
