    The shortage of artillery shells is becoming critical. russia is able to out gun Ukraine about 10 to 1 lately although somehow Ukraine is able to inflict a terrible amount of casualties on the russians every day; lately especially on russian artillery, destroying at a record pace in the last two days. They may have become more adept at using drones for these counter battery attacks. Europe is trying to step up their own aid to take the place of nothing coming from USA. But I'm not sure if there are any shells available. Europe is increasing production as fast as they can, but's a little late. Europeans and Ukrainians are feeling angry that political games in USA mean Ukrainians are dying. The Bradly fighting vehicle has proven to be very effective but Ukraine has less than 200 while a thousand sit in storage in USA waiting to be scrapped. Very frustrating.

    Agreed. The problem is that the drones are slow and easy to shoot down.

    I should say that most of the people who I respect on twitter X do not believe that there were Ukrainain POWs on that plane and this is the first evidence I have seen that they may be correct.

    I believe that Ukraine is beginning to acknowledge the tragedy. I hope that most people in the world can see through this and understand what russia has done.

    Moscow Mitch is backing off from a bipartisan deal to toughen immigration control in exchange for aid to Ukraine. He said Trump wants to run on the border and an agreement would undermine him.

    And Republicans would rather see a democracy die than give Biden a legislative win.

    I think it should be noted that virtually every Ukrainian soldier out there in the trenches knows the reason they don't have enough artillery shells.

    I told you folks months ago that Ukraine was going to lose, but you didn't listen to me. You believed all the propaganda. The current Ukrainian regime will be toppled. Russia will take whatever portion of Ukraine that it wants, and the deal will be negotiated under a total surrender by Ukraine.

    It's irrelevant if we think Ukraine will win or not. They are being invaded by an aggressive empire. We should support them as much as possible for as long as possible.

    That narrative is part of the same propaganda that told you they were winning.

    I don't remember being told they were winning.

    They are winning. Ask any military expert.

    I am curious, where are you getting your information? Even the sources that were lying, and spewing propaganda, even know admit Ukraine is running out of ammo, soldiers, and is now simply on the defensive. Ukraine will be utterly defeated.

    I am so sick of the fantasy land they have people under. This isn't personal against you, you're a victim of their propaganda. They brainwashed the public for 2 years that Ukraine was winning, just to keep the dollars flowing...

    You make so many inflammatory statements and claims about this subject that I am assuming you are an expert. Yet you have not offered one single link or other piece of evidence to support even one of your claims. But you continue to challenge the one individual on this message board who actually has knowledge and reliable sources of what is happening over there. If you are so self assured and certain of yourself, provide us with actual facts instead of the constant verbal diarrhea about something you obviously don't know a whole helluva lot about. What are you? Putin's love child??

    I actually have. Info has come directly from the Ukrainians themselves, on the average age of the troops. Zelensky himself is desparately pleading for more money and more ammo.

    Do you remember talk about the "reoffensive" that was supposed to take place and expel Russia from Ukraine? Take a look at the areas Russia currently controls.

    You don't have to believe me. When Ukraine surrenders they won't be able to hide it anymore. And will you admit you were bamboozled, or make up excuses?
