1. I'll give you an answer from Prigozhin, russian leader of Wagner military group. Shortly beore he was assasinated he said it was a pure resource grab by russian elite (which includes Putin, possibly the richest man in the world). He said it definitely had nothing to do with fear of NATO. Actions by russian since they invaded bear this out as they have stolen huge amounts of grain, coal and metal products. 2. Putin's ego, wants to get more adoration like he got after taking Crimea. Dictators need wars to distract from poverty and the huge gulf between ultrarich and common person, Almost one quarter of russians do not have indoor plumbing. If you want middle ground, then I don't think you will find the truth.
Avdiivka may fall due to artillery shells shortage, says war veteran I'm sure you all know that Mike Johnson, most likely on instructions from Trump, continues to sabotage aid to Ukraine. First he insisted that aid to Ukraine be combined with a border bill. Biden and senate did that. Then he said the two must be seperated. Now he wants to seperate Ukraine adi from Israel aid, hoping that will make it easier to defeat Ukraine aid. https://english.nv.ua/nation/ratio-...ity-is-1-12-in-favor-of-ukraine-50389796.html
Ukrainians are dying because of these idiots. This has to be one of the most shameful chapters in American history.
Unfortunately they really don't support Ukraine. It's not just denying Biden a win. They are pro Putin.
The situation is now considered critical. russians have gained lodgements both to the north and south of the city. In the south they are holed up in houses. If Ukraine had enough artillery shells, they could obliterate those houses. This city has been under fire for 10 years now and yet Ukrainians held on. What a shame it would be if it fell now because the West can't get any damned ammo to Ukraine.
Russia Has Massed 500 Tanks For An Attack On Kupyansk. Thousands Of Ukrainian Drones Await Them. https://www.forbes.com/sites/davida...-ukrainian-drones-await-them/?sh=2ef4729c5afd Short but interesting article.
It is a reflection of how many media in this country have fallen down on the job, either abandoning news for celebrity culture or determined to both sider everything, that we don't see banner headlines every day in every major newspaper and top story on every broadcast that Republican party had rather Ukraine die than allow anything that might help Biden. That their cult loyalty to incompetent narcissistic senile Trump and holding onto power is worth drowning Ukraine after all the Ukrainian people's sacrifices.
The Clock Is Ticking As Ukraine Destroys More Russian Vehicles, Faster. The Kremlin Could Run Out Of Fighting Vehicles In Six Months. https://www.forbes.com/sites/davida...hting-vehicles-in-six-months/?sh=5c95ba76c5e2
Weaker of the house refuses to let border bill, which gives Republicans almost everything they want, come to the floor for a vote because it would pass. A bad border helps Trump. And no aid to Ukraine without border bill. If Ukraine or portions fall to Russia, Republicans will break their legs running to news programs to blame Biden.
Kremlin supporters are fuming after footage appears to show Ukrainian drones decimating an entire Russian armored column https://www.businessinsider.com/ukr...ocial&utm_campaign=insider-worldnews-sub-post Entire column of Russian armoured vehicles obliterated by drones https://metro.co.uk/2024/02/02/entire-column-russian-armoured-vehicles-obliterated-drones-20216670/
There are enough votes in the House to pass Ukraine aid. But a bill can only come to the floor when the speaker brings it and the Weaker is afraid he will lose speakership because MAGA crazies oppose Ukraine aid. So a soldier on the front lines in Ukraine is running out of ammo because Marjorie Taylor Greene ranted on Fox about not wanting more money for Ukraine. Today's Republican party.
