Can we offer this Ukranian solider a scholarship?

PGOS still thinks this is about democracy rather than Raytheon selling billion dollar Patriot missile systems to the US military to gift to the Ukrainian grifters.
-
Check the facts
-
You check the facts. Raytheon isn't selling Patriot missiles to the US government to ship to Ukraine? And it still is about democracy? Team Dazzler would be proud.
-
It's about democracy, showing Russia power, sending outdated equipment like the Patriot batteries, and plenty of other stuff that can't be boiled down into one cause.
But you knew that and play stupid
-
However much it costs for as long as it takes. A winning approach since Vietnam.
-
”It’s about democracy” as there is no election scheduled in the near future in Ukraine as Zelensky postponed the previous one.
Please, at least debate with some semblance of honesty in your position. Or, if you really do think extending the conflict is about Democracy, you’re dumber than I thought because that’s a ridiculous take at this point.
My belief is Zelensky wants peace negotiations but the MIC/globalists who control these things won’t allow Biden (or Kamala) to even initiate a path to peace.
-
You've evolved from page 1 where it was about democracy and bad ass war daddy's. Then the cost didn't matter because we were sending old stuff. Now we've committed to ten years at $1 trillion, probably for old stuff though.
-
All this shit has already been discussed. Get some new material
-
OK, will do.

Wasnt this about amortization of old equipment?
-
Yes. Government accounting is make it up as you (MIUAYG) and not GAAP.
-
So Zelenski got Trump shot…
-
Yup. Which is different than a pallet full of cash. It is for actual equipment being used to fight Russia
-
Some of it is. But then there's replacement of stocks at 2024 prices vs 1980.
There are still pallets of cash being used to run the government too.

Root for America for a chnge instead of this rediculous charade that is Ukraine!
-
I am rooting for America.
This "charade" is saving the lives of US servicemen.
-
No you're not. You root for demonrats and Ukraine. That's who started and continue this rediculous crap.
-
you forgot to mention a country that starts with R. Any guesses?
-
How?

Ukraine, a poor medium sized Eastern European country, equipped with old Western equipment and Western intel (Palantir, advising, etc.) is currently fending off what many claimed to be the 2nd most powerful military on earth…Russia. With no US boots on the ground.
What if Russia had rolled over Ukraine, formally annexed Georgia, Khazakstan, your favorite MOLDOVA, and a few more such states? Emboldened and with an Alliance with China, it's Russia against Europe and China launching ships and missiles at Taiwan.
This was a fear of NATO for a while, and a legit one. Why do you think countries like Estonia, Latvia, and Poland joined? They hate Russia - that's why. It's why Turkey and their Muslim politics would rather be pals with France and Germany than Russia. Finland and Sweden? They saw the Ukraine situation and said fuck that, we'd rather be safe than sorry.
The Russia that is bogged down in Eastern Ukraine right now is not the Russia of that timeline. It is severely, severely neutered. And, even in that timeline, Russia would likely have done some half assed plan. But US and NATO soldiers would be doing the fighting and dying.
China is watching with fascination and learning a lot, just as the US and friends are. India too - they buy tons of Russia military shit - the kind that is going poof and gurgle against quite basic and old Western shit. And cheap Ukrainian sea drones, which are proving to be a BIG problem for the Russian navy.
Encouraging or trivializing territory expansion from Russia is bad US foreign policy. It just is.
These guys leveled Grozny and their Muslim population in the 90s. Supported Serbian craziness too. Invaded Georgia in 2008. Took a bite out of Ukraine in 2014 while Obama watched with his thumb up his ass and did nothing. Merkel and the lot too.
In comes Trump. Don't fuck with US, and pay up NATO, is made official policy. Iranian generals go poof. Putin doesn't do shit.
In comes Biden. Feeble. Internationally corrupt. Buddies with China and Ukraine, but doesn't really have much teeth. Abortion of a withdrawal from Afghanistan.
Hey, why don't we invade now? Says Putin. Shit will be easy, Ukraine really doesn't know what they are doing and our airborne troops will surround their capital city.
Two years later, even with sorry ass Biden in office, and Russia still is fighting tooth and nail for some towns on the border at huge losses.
All of this TL,DR shit is to say that Russia was taught a brutal lesson in the difference of NATO training standards, equipment, and command structure - even when the actual soldiers are Ukrainians empowered by centuries old hatred of Russia.
Hell, most of the initial Ukrainian troops weren't even NATO trained. They just happened to have this amazing 80s tech called javelins. The Russians are the ones deciding miles long columns of tanks and fuel tankers was the way to go.

I'll let Kamala explain Ukraine to you. Maybe it will help you understand.
-
Kamala should have a great understanding of Ukraine. Her speech helped start a war there.
-
-
Is this Ukraine things still on? I notice there are hardly any Ukraine flags being shown these days by the Facebook and Twitter warriors.
They’re mainly Hamas fans now judging by flags.
-
-
Christ, you nailed everything besides the Trump and Biden factors.
I can't even get into this political shit re: Ukraine with y'all because it's fucking useless.
This shit has been brewing for decades and you think it's an American jingoistic thing why shit happens or why shit doesn't happen. Get real and shut the fuck up, please, before I lay the smack down. We ain't all that and a bag of potato chips.
America doesn't control the world, but we can damn well push back against authorization savages who piss on democratic ideals. In Ukraine and in November.

Contrary to your curated Facebook and Twitter feed, this war is happening full throttle, and you're a retard for suggesting otherwise.
I responded to Everett. A momentous occasion indeed. This is cause for a celebration, a toast.
Ваше здоровье!

can I get an update on this?
How much money spent and has Ukraine won yet?
Does Ty just need more time to get his recruits in the lineup?

This is an awful war of attrition between a depressed, ravaged, but motivated Ukraine defending their homeland against an unmotivated mobik meat wave with nearly endless meat, but not endless supplies. Russia is being bled with 1000+ casualties a day and losing armaments far faster than they can replace them. But it's going to take time for the meat waves and the stockpiles to wane. Years. The only thing that prevents Russia's aims is continued support. They've barely moved the front line since 2022 because of Western support, not in spite of it. End that support, end Ukraine, get ready for NATO vs. an emboldened Russia/China/NK/Iran axis of power. Then we can talk about the money we should have spent to prevent it. I'll be here to remind you when that happens. This is pennies on the dollar right now.
