A lot of the "stuff" earmarked for Ukraine is ending up on the Black Market. There is "ZERO" accounting for the billions of dollars that were given to Ukraine.
America is crumbling while giving our resources away.
As one old, retired guy, on a fixed income in Montana.... I could care less what happens over there.
NATO already has it's mind made up and for all I know the next US president has already been elected.
Sounds like you want me to sit down and write a letter to my Congressman in Washington, DC.
My time would be better spent getting my garden ready for spring.
Nope. Letters aren’t going to change a thing. We are all on this ride together wherever it ends up. It’s painfully clear at this point. The garden is the better more productive option. This whole thing should have never had our involvement.

    Don’t know if this was posted yet.


    If it's being floated in National Review, Forgin Policy, or the Economist then the Uniparty shills are reading it, and probably originated from one or several of a dozen DC think tanks. Smells to me like they hear the freight train coming down the tracks.

    Ukrainian and Western leaders have warned in recent weeks that Kyiv is burning through the shells more quickly than its allies can produce them, leading to a renewed push to send supplies and find ways to ramp up production.

    This article makes no sense. Half the money will be used to reimburse nations for what they have sent to Ukraine, half will be used to go to the PX and do a group buy to get a quantity discount. BUT while stocks are low for the 27 states as mentioned, it is hoped that this infusion of cash will cause them to release MORE out of their stocks to ship to the Ukraine. That's interesting logic. Furthermore, the orders wont be placed until the end of may with months lead time before the munitions go to Ukraine with zero mention of when the countries will get their own stocks resupplied.

    Essentially, these cooperating countries are being given money and discount prices on future munitions to further weaken themselves to assist Ukraine. Such a deal!

    Does Ukraine even have months left?

    The regular drone FORTE10 is up, but looking at Crimea from the west, over friendly territory, rather than from the south,over the Black Sea:



    If you click on it, it will display its track


    ETA: found a new site with more detail, apparently there are 3 assets looking at the area where the reaper went down:


    And another (this one is Polish language only)





    Never noticed the Navy Orion in the mix

    According to data for 2022, the Office of the President of Ukraine spent more than $2 billion on covert lobbying for the Ukraine in the West (including kickbacks and bribes).

    Now this amount is growing many times (we think in 2023 it will be about 5-6 billion), as negative sentiments towards Ukraine in the West are growing (crisis, protests, war fatigue, etc.), which forces Bankovaya to pay more.

    All bot farms, SMM and seo departments of banking, gobble up tens of millions of dollars a week.

    Now there is still a risk that the Republicans will turn on the “trickle” of aid, which could threaten catastrophic consequences for the entire “game”. The president has already written about this, pointing out that Bankovaya is trying to buy the loyalty of the Republicans.

    Conclusion: everyone is making money on the Ukrainian crisis, and only the people pay for this bloody banquet and the celebration of the vanity of individual characters.

    Pretty good article. There is also something that is being hiden from the public in the "West" - Russia is getting rid of the U.S. dollar ASAP, and the rest of the world is watching and taking notes. Russia is actually banned the use of the U.S. dollar inside the country and now prefers to limit its use for foreign trade.

    Maybe they can make a deal and get some of the Russian ammo that we can't get

    They are talking grand total of 1.000 Norinco CQ-A, imported by Techcrim, CQ-A are semi-automatic only civilian rifles somewhat popular as entry-level AR15 rifles for practical shooting and plinking. These Norinco are also one of the cheapest AR15 offerings sold in Europe.

    Let just say of all things Chinese small arms are not something Russians would need. Bazilion AK laying around in stock and Kalashnikov makes 300-400K new ones per year not to mention non Soviet /Russian caliber makes them of limited use .

    Yeah but media headlines make it seem like the use is for the war effort.

    Media headlines. :ROFLMAO:

    Next week they will all be masturbating with 101 headlines how Trump's payment to a hooker is/was the greatest threat to US democracy, i just hope they ask Avenatti how his campaign for 2024 presidential run is going, given how for his 5 minutes of fame they were touting him as the real deal presidential material on every talk show they could find.

    Daniels fucking Trump for money = storming the Bastille :devilish:

    I guess armed citizen is no use anymore , so give back the guns you were given or else..... ....we might need to start a gun buyback :ROFLMAO:

    ''The Ukrainian authorities are trying to mitigate the consequences of the uncontrolled distribution of small arms weapons to the population that occurred last year just after the start of the war.

    Head of the Dnipro regional military administration, Sergei Lysak, wrote in his Telegram channel that out of 2000 firearms distributed in the field on February 24, only 1500 were returned. And although the campaign for the voluntary return of weapons, which lasted till February16, ended, 500 citizens preferred to keep Kalashnikov assault rifles with them.

    Lysak, who was previously an employee of the SBU and was personally appointed head of the administration by Zelensky in early February 2023 instead of Valentin Reznichenko, gave residents another ten days to voluntarily hand over their guns.

    In order to stimulate the process of returning machine guns, Lysak said that law enforcement agencies allegedly know the names of those who distributed weapons last year and even all those who received them. Why, in this case, it was necessary to extend the period of voluntary surrender for another ten days, it is not entirely clear.

    Anyone who does not meet the specified period and does not return the weapon, the head of the administration threatened full weight of the law. Weapons in illegal circulation are not allowed! Lysak said. :devilish:

    The problem is that some of the enterprising residents of the Dnieper have already sold their guns on the “black market”. Now, in order to avoid punishment, unless, of course, the head of the Dnieper OVA is bluffing , they will have to buy machine guns somewhere to hand them back.''

    What a fuck face! There are so many in DC that just want blood and profit, they are a special kind of evil.

    I had a great conversation with a Polish buddy yesterday, he put things into perspective for me as far as how Russian mentality worked. As he put it: Russia is difficult to understand for most westerners as "Russians" don't act like most westerners, Russia is like a combination of China where they understand how to play the long game, and have a long term plan, but the big difference between the Russians and Chinese is the Russians when pushed too far will down some vodka, grab a nail spiked batt, and start going to town head on. As my fried put it, once Russians go to town there is nothing left, and at no matter how many Russians die in the process.

    Your Polish buddy is correct about Russian mentality. I've seen this type of behaviour with my own eyes when I've been still living in the USSR.

    i am baffled that the idiots in charge don't seem to realize that putin can still go grozny on the poor ukrainians if he thinks he is losing.
    the fact that he hasn't gone full grozny is why i don't believe any positive reports about how great ukraine is doing.
    it does seem pretty close though...
