So US government using tax money to pay American weapon companies to give Ukraine weapon, therefore, Ukraine does not receive free checks from US government?

This is disgusting what we’re doing with Ukraine, using them as sheep to the slaughter while we pump and launder hundreds of billions of US taxpayer dollars into their country. Trump is right, this would never happen under his watch. There is sick people in charge of policy right now and their dangerous and sadistic actions are going unchecked under a puppet/absentee president. They’re using countries as pawns in their global proxy war, if we continue down this path there will be a world war. And over what? The Donbass, an issue the American public knew nothing about a year ago and it frankly doesn’t concern us.

Now, through the media and their controllers, a large portion of the public and the globe is cheering on tanks, planes, war as hundreds of thousands are dying. We have two more years with Joe, let’s hope we last it.

To summarize that. 1. Russia still has a very capable military. 2. If the Ukrainians don't get a hell of a lot more support, they are not going to win this war.

I follow this guy,

https://mobile.twitter.com/KofmanMichael

He is an expert on the Russian military and has similar analysis of not celebrating any Ukraine victory just yet and makes the point of not underestimating Russian capabilities although they are constrained. Even if Ukraine does not win this war neither does Russia. The Ukrainians will conduct a military led counter insurgency and grind down Russia for as long as they exist in Ukraine. Spring/Summer 2023 will be decisive in this conflict.

These are great talks on War on the Rocks interviewing Michael Kofman...chime in at the 22:55 point gives a solid analysis of Russia's current capabilities.

HIMARs damaged a bridge; Excalibur round hit a tank directly; Is there a Putin double?
