It's not MTG or the Congress who would cause Ukraine to lose the war. Congress has given everything Biden has asked for. Yes, it was late this time, but it's not like Ukraine ran out of arms - they were still getting them from Europe, and it was only a few months of delays from us.
Very late. So late that Ukraine didn’t have enough to hold serve. This one is squarely on the MAGAs with an assist from Johnson who took a long time to grow a pair larger than MTG’s. Admittedly, she has a huge set, much like many moronic blowhards.

The problem is artillery shells. Europe is pretty much tapped out. Frankly, we don't have enough, some of that money is to build a new manufacturing line. Ukraine has 2000 rounds per day with all Europe can provide and Ukraine's new production. Somewhere I read with the US, that will go to 7000. Still short of Russia's 10,000. ( The estimates seem to be either 20,000/7000 or 10,000/2000).

The Ukrainian troops have to be demoralized with the lack of support from their supposed allies. They realize that at any point they will be abandoned and very likely so for certain after November.The problem is artillery shells. Europe is pretty much tapped out.

But if they can hang on, story has it that Russia will face a critical barrel shortage in '25.
Russia Needs Fresh Artillery Barrels, Bad. It’s Yanking Them Off Old Guns By The Thousand.
Thanks to a batch of shells from North Korea, Russian forces in Ukraine are flush with artillery ammunition. What gunners don’t have in abundance are howitzer barrels.
They shouldn’t be surprised. It is the MO of the US as it relates to being a third party in foreign conflicts.
Yes, it's more of a supply issue than it is the US being late with arms. As far as Russia goes, when you're depending on N. Korea for arms, that should be a huge red flag for them.The problem is artillery shells. Europe is pretty much tapped out.

Didn't Congress just approve a huge number for military aid?
The F-16’s seem to be the biggest GD smoke screen that buyden has pulled off yet.
And just as normal, dems say, just give us the Ukraine $ and then we will do the boarder…. Lucy and Lionel playing football for the 1,000,000 time. The “real” republicans.
Yes, I bet Putin is actually shocked Russia-proper isn't getting attacked very much.
Looks like Putin is going hat-in-hand to Xi. That's got to be a deal with the devil.The #1, #2 and #3 highest orc casualty days of the war, in the last 3 days of combat. ~4,500 neutralized orcs in 3 days.
I saw that earlier and wasn’t sure what to make of it, although for 55 yrs of life, my first impression is 99% correct.
You may be interested to know this was SOP for the US in past wars.
My dad was a vet because the judge gave him that option. Did his three years in Germany instead of the six months in Minnesota he probably would have gotten.
Because the birth rate is historically low. And, they won’t have families that will follow what the state does with them later. It’s evil.
I think that's why they sent me to Germany, instead of VN, which was winding down when I was in. Except I think they sent me so the Soviets wouldn't be afraid of us.
Somewhere in the south. On leave he went hiking in the mountains. And he visited Munich.
Hmmm..... Augsburg is close to Munich - 60km. In Bavaria and the Alps close by.
I bet my sister has them. He bought a camera and a dark room while he was in Germany and kept all that stuff in a big wooden chest he brought back with him. Probably in there.
Sounds like we might have been at the same place at the same time. Wouldn't that be a hoot!
He came back with kickass stereo equipment, too.
I'd bet money we were on the same post - Flak Kaserne. Everyone there had to have a clearance to work there because of all the supposed classified equipment and the group itself was doing classified work.
Side note: I got called into the Group Commander's office one time for a piece of mail I received - from Moscow.
Yep, we were told those stories.
Mr Joe “Make my day pal!” Biden is not just an incompetent and a disaster, he is dangerous and responsible for thousands of dead people and more wounded and suffering. Like a school bully, he yells and screams at congress for not supporting Ukraine then that dumb SOB micromanages the conflict in dangerous ways— because he is too damn scared to be decisive.. It is his cluelessness that encouraged Putin, now it is his incompetence that turned this into a war of attrition that only Russia can win.
