Sometimes I think all this back and forth is planned rhetoric. They don't want to go rushing into Ukraine, possibly causing a wider conflict. It's terrible to think about all the lives that are lost while the world is getting used to sending heavier weapons to Ukraine. This is the reality when faced with the remnants of the Soviet Union that still has many nuclear weapons. They are boiling the frog here. The frog is Putin and his cronies. By going slowly, they're robbing him of the power to unite his country against the west over a single incident. >

And it's working. Don't get me wrong, it's a terrible strategy in terms of life lost, but it's the one thing that is keeping this from spreading wider. ruZZians are attritting away and soon they'll be so small of a threat we can drown them in a proverbial bathtub for good. >

It’s an investment in the future. The US and NATO has the opportunity to take out a long-time geopolitical antagonist without sending a single one of their own soldiers to fight. Russia has long been an international menace that has sown dissent, violence, corruption, bigotry, and inflamed fascist sentiments around the world. Russia deciding to invade Ukraine is the perfect opportunity to strike back at them for all the shit they’ve pulled over the years.
Also, after the war, Ukraine will be flush with cash and foreign investments. Not only will Ukraine be rebuilt bigger and better than ever, they’ll also be a powerful and grateful Western ally in Eastern Europe. From a cold, calculated, geopolitical perspective, it’s a win-win for the US and it’s allies. The fact that it’s also morally the right thing to do is just the icing on the cake. >

This is pretty much it. Even if Ukraine doesn’t win - Russia has been pretty much wiped out as a military. Including  leadership, soldiers, weapons, hardware, etc. If I remember correctly they lost a bunch of special forces early on in a failed operation. We also know how they operate in the field and the limits of their technology- including their communications and drone capabilities. Russia will just be a 3rd rate power after all is said and done. Granted they will still have nukes and natural gas, but that is all they will have. >

"The Biden administration was shrewd to understand and carefully address German concerns without publicly pressuring Scholz as some other Western governments have done, analysts said after his comments."
Dark Brandon is master of foreign policy.  Got em to willingly send 2 battalions of tanks w their allies and made them feel good about it. >

Germany, despite its reluctance on some weapons systems, has sent the 3rd most amount of military hardware, behind the US and UK.
Germany should be treated as a disagreement among friends.
Hungary on the other hand... >

Idk how Hungary is even part of nato. >

Say hello to my friend Abrams, Jack >

Because fuck Putin. >

To beat back a terrorist regime- The Rest of Us >

Summarized for the fox news crowd: Russia mean. Make big boom on Ukraine. We give tank to stop Russia booms. Yay Ukraine. Yay tank. >

Since we spend so much on our military, we might as well put them to a good cause and stop Russian aggression. >
