    The US cannot allow Russia to succeed. Meeting force with force will bring Putin down which will also send a message to Xi Jinping...otherwise, not only will Ukraine fall but so will Taiwan.

    So many beautiful people have died in Putin's insane war. Some say Ukraine is losing her best while russia just loses the prisoners they have coerced into going.

    Read that Russia is targeting, along with infrastructure, cultural and historical sites. Trying to erase Ukrainian people.

    that video should be re-dubbed, but with comedy as it's goal.

    but seriously, who thinks this is a good propaganda?? Sob story about someone having to sell their POS car to buy sausages, but instead of, oh I don't know, not invading a sovereign nation, lets celebrate that the young man is going off to his death.

    And gramps gets to keep his Lada.

    I would hope he'd rather give up his car over his own flesh and blood...

    The next game changer would really be predator drones.

    Yes, a lot more kamikaze drones with greater range would be really welcome; disppointed not included in today's package.

    Day 301. Zelenskyy visits Bakhmut on an unannounced visit. US to allocate USD 44.9 billion in emergency assistance to Ukraine and NATO allies. Russia’s December 19 drone attack on Ukraine was the most massive since the outset of the all-out war.

    Russia earlier warned the US that providing Ukraine with a patriot system and training them on how to use them, would lead to "an escalation" of the war...which can be translated into Russia privately fears the prospect of Ukraine having those missiles, as well as other weapons.

    Personally, I'm glad we made the decision to do it anyway...and the decision reinforces 2 messages...it tells Ukraine "we're with you"...and it's also another big "fuck you" to Putin.

    Given the horrors of this invasion it still is sad that weapons are looked upon to end it. Sort of an oxymoron. Russia at this point needs to be disarmed and it's leadership put on trial in the Hague.

    Lol. Why would you even think this? Russia doesn't have the forces to occupy a country of 40 million people long term ... They simply don't have the population to support that.

    Loved how President Zelensky said US assistance is not charity, it's an investment.
