    Major Biden blunder. Slow playing aid and training for Ukraine
    Slow playing prosecution of j6
    Slow to react to the border.
    Slow to get out of the way
    Slow Joe.

    A lot of this is due to Biden's policy towards Ukraine, which actually means Jake Sullivan's preferred policies toward Ukraine. The slow roll out of the F-16's was part of that.

    Muricans think we could roll Russia. Apparently the Pentagon doesn’t believe we can.

    Ukraine was not the largest army in Europe. Russia is also a country in Europe (and certainly has the majority of its population in Europe), and Russia has three times the number of people in its army (or did, until Ukraine started killing and wounding them at a rate 3-5 times greater than the rate Russia was causing Ukrainian casualties).

    You’re not doing yourself a favor with that shovel you have. KIA exchanges consistently indicate that Ukraine is losing more troops than Russia by a factor of 10:1 if not higher. How do you think Ukraine started the war with upwards of 1.2 million troops, has conducted ten conscriptions and is now lowering draftable age to 18 ?

    Bro is sourcing stats straight from Russian media. Russia is so powerful that they had to bring in North Koreans to defend their own land. Give it a rest

    @uftaipan: standing by your assertion that nato won't splinter? It is a matter of time. Even if Trump doesn't formally withdraw the US from NATO, all he has to do if a NATO ally is attacked is NOTHING. Article 5 may not be worth the paper its written on as far as Trump is concerned.

    Russia spans 11 time zones and so it’s not a surprise to have happed upon a Russian soldier with Asian facial features. Out of that grew the legend of the ten thousand North Korean troops, a brazen fabrication that was used to justify ATACMS launches into Russia (which had already been approved).

    If that happens, I’ll be the first to say you’re right. But I remain unworried. NATO is going nowhere.

    How do you even make up this stuff? Or do you just get it from Alex Jones?

    I guess Al Jazeera is in on this huge conspiracy that North Koreans are fighting.

    Ukraine presses on in Kursk; Denmark warns Russia could wage war in Europe

    This is the Liberal's biggest place to launder American taxpayer money. They need this war to keep going. Now, that little Tyrant actor doesn't want the U.S. to recuperate our $200 billion in aid. That little man is nothing ore than a European/Obama puppet that has NO business negotiating his surrender to the Russians. The only reason why Russia hasn't already taken that land is Trump. And it will be Trump and Putin negotiating the terms without the EU and that Tyrant involved. That Tyrant actor might be there, but he won't have much say so in that final deal... and yes, we will get our money back.

    This is beyond dumb. The EU borders both Russia and Ukraine so it should be involved. Hell, even Trump says that Europe needs to start handling its affairs including Ukraine’s security. So he’ll negotiate a shit deal like he did in Afghanistan and leave shit sandwich for others.

    Unintelligible arguments filled with hateful insults. Pretty on brand.
