U.S. Authorizes New Weapons Shipments to Ukraine

[odanny]

Yea, great source, Scott Ritter.

Ritter rejects the Western media's coverage of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine and has voiced his perspective on multiple podcasts, including Andrew Napolitano's. On April 6, 2022, Ritter was suspended from Twitter for violating its rule on "harassment and abuse" after he posted a tweet falsely claiming that the National Police of Ukraine is responsible for the Bucha massacre and calling U.S. President Joe Biden a "war criminal" for "seeking to shift blame for the Bucha murders" to Russia. The following day Newsweek reported his Twitter account had been reinstated.

Scott Ritter writes various articles critical of NATO for the Russian channel RT (formerly Russia Today).

Ritter's right about Bucha and Biden.
Ritter's claim that Ukrainian security forces murdered civilians alleged to be Russian collaborators AFTER the civilians accepted food packages from Russians is at least as credible as what MSM propaganda spouts.
Biden has never met a war he didn't support (or fight in). so, like virtually every other POTUS, he is a classic war criminal.

Will Ukraine run out of bodies before Russia exhausts its ammunition?

Scott Ritter: 2023 Outlook for Ukraine - scheerpost.com

"With the battle-lines currently stabilized, the question of where the war goes from here comes down to basic military math — in short, a causal relationship between two basic equations revolving around burn rates (how quickly losses are sustained) versus replenishment rates (how quickly such losses can be replaced.)

"The calculus bodes ill for Ukraine.

"Neither NATO nor the United States appear able to sustain the quantity of weapons that have been delivered to Ukraine, which enabled the successful fall counteroffensives against the Russians.

"This equipment has largely been destroyed, and despite Ukraine’s insistence on its need for more tanks, armored fighting vehicles, artillery and air defense, and while new military aid appears to be forthcoming, it will be late to the battle and in insufficient quantities to have a game-winning impact on the battlefield."

Your problem is that Ukraine is fighting for Liberty and Freedom.
Russians are fighting because Putin told them to

They are growing tired of Putin’s War

Now that you mention it….Why hasn't Putin announced how many deaths he has?

Canada summoned the Russian ambassador in connection with the attack on a residential building in the Dnieper.
Canada hates ukrainians, so instead of recommendations for the ukrainian military to remove air defense from the residential sector, it puts on a dirty show. Hypocritical bastards.

I wouldn't believe Putin's version of Russian losses anymore than I believe Ukrainians are fighting for "Liberty and Freedom."

Ukrainians are fighting for the IMF and western investors pillaging their infrastructure:

"'UAH 201 million - for the first time in the history of Ukraine, a sea port was privatized. The final offer for the port Ust-Dunaisk exceeded the starting price 3.3 times, which was UAH 60 million.'

"'Such a result was achieved thanks to significant competition among entrepreneurs - 8 investors competed for the port. Now the winner has 20 working days to pay the price of the lot. We are waiting for receipts in the budget to support our Defense Forces,' the statement reads."

"The ultimate beneficiary of Elixir Ukraine LLC is Valerii Vikhrenko, the founder and owner of the Vimexim group of companies.

"Vimexim group of companies is engaged in processing, exporting and providing logistics services from grain and oil crops."

China, Iran and others gotta be delighted. Soon We wont have enough ammo to intervene anywhere, period. Rich opportunities for bad actors.....

Not really, they have lost a potential ally in Russia

They are weaker for it

 

[rightwinger]

My concerns exactly, we better not have need of these or any of the other stuff we send over while we are trying to replace them.

Who are we going to use them against?
Russia?

Our military industrial complex can quickly replace depleted munitions and weapons systems

Russia can’t

Yeah no...they want pieces of Russia too Russia would play no role in Taiwan

Until now, Russia has never used more that 20% of its regular military in Ukraine, yet it has acquired 20% of Ukrainian real estate since last February. Putin made a huge mistake at that time thinking he would find rational actors in Kiev willing to negotiate an end to the current blood-shed. Obviously, the US has other intentions.

Total shit-eatin' grins on both those Nazi bastards. Except one's dangerous and the other is just a retard.

We shouldn't forget the retard's finger on the nuclear trigger.

Maybe they were receptive to Russia when they invaded. But after Russias savage treatment of civilians, I doubt many want to become part of Russia.

Don't repeat dr. Goebbels' propaganda. Better shut your mouth, maybe you'll pass for smart.

Sorry Skippy, but not debating whether Russia is abusing the civilian population

Take your Putin Propaganda elsewhere

The United States plans to send Ukraine nearly 100 Stryker combat vehicles as part of a roughly $2.5 billion shipment of arms and equipment that is expected to be announced at a meeting of allies in Germany on Friday, two U.S. officials said on Thursday.

The decision to send the Strykers, which could be delivered within weeks, comes just days after Britain committed to sending Ukraine 14 Challenger battle tanks and the United States, France and Germany agreed to send dozens of armored infantry fighting vehicles, including 50 Bradley Fighting Vehicles. Germany has also been under pressure to authorize the delivery of German-made Leopard 2 battle tanks to Ukraine.

Colin H. Kahl, the U.S. under secretary of defense for policy, told reporters on Wednesday that Ukraine needed more mechanized infantry and armored personal carriers to punch through heavily fortified Russian defenses.

“The Russians are really digging in,” he said. “They’re digging in. They’re digging trenches, they’re putting in these dragon’s teeth, laying mines.”

“To enable the Ukrainians to break through given Russian defenses,” he added, “the emphasis has been shifted to enabling them to combine fire and maneuver in a way that will prove to be more effective.”

The Stryker is a medium-weight, eight-wheeled armored vehicle that can carry troops and weapons. It was first deployed by the Pentagon in Iraq after the U.S. invasion in 2003.

The latest package for Ukraine, reported earlier by The Washington Post, would also include more Bradley fighting vehicles; ammunition for HIMARS rocket artillery; 155-millimeter and 105-millimeter artillery rounds; other vehicles; and air defense systems, one of the officials said.

The U.S. announcement comes weeks after the Biden administration announced a $3 billion package of military assistance for Ukraine that will include Bradleys, which officials said would be especially helpful to Ukrainian units fighting Russian forces in the Donbas region of the country’s east.

Western officials fear that Ukraine has only a narrow window before an anticipated Russian springtime offensive, and have been working quickly to give Kyiv sophisticated weapons that they had earlier held out on sending because of concerns of provoking Moscow.

Moron, that'll only make the Ukie lives harder. This shitty equipment rarely operates normally in peaceful times let alone in harsh conditions of Ukrainian cross-country. The ones that won't get stuck in the mud won't last long either. Save your money, the gays are suffering all across America. The Ukies are as good as dead anyway.
