    I know I keep bringing it up, but it bears repeating into infinity, I remember my childhood being dominated with "you don't like it, go to Russia" if I ever complained about anything.
    Russia was like a synonym for Hell, and being a Commie was the most evil traitorous thing you could be.
    And that all shat out of Republican propagandists.
    And it all meant nothing.
    They're Russian traitors without blinking.

    First hand account of repelling Wagnerite human wave attacks.

    Dude has high praise for his FAL, laments scarcity of ammo. And that if he doesn’t bring pretty much all he’ll need for a rotation at the front he is screwed. Most of the resupply guys don’t understand that there are multiple 7.62 rounds (FAL and many western weapons use 7.62x51 [NATO] whereas SKS, AK-47 and many other Eastern weapons use 7.62x39 [Soviet]. There is also 7.62x54 developed under the Tsar but it much less common today, mostly just in the Dragunov.).

    They are not the same and not compatible.

    That is just some standard old military recruitment propaganda. Are your kids ashamed of you because they think you are a poor ass loser? Become cannon fodder and then people will have to respect you. That is pretty much the american recruitment pitch.

    That being said the US has the two best military recruitment ads ever. They are called Top Gun, and Top Gun: McCain.

    Zelensky is coming to the US for talks.

    The White House has announced that it will be seeking an additional $1.8 billion for Ukraine's defense.

    It will also be sending Patriot anti-missile batteries to defend Ukraine.

    I'm sure Medvedev and Putin will talk about how they will be launching nukes any second now.

    And just a friendly reminder that the very first thing Donald Trump did when he won the Republican primary was to remove the pledge to protect Ukraine from the GOP platform.

    You know, while accepting Manafort to run his campaign who had just been running pro-Putin puppet Yanukovych's campaign in Urkaine, and owing ~$20 million to a Putin backed oligarch. Oh, and he worked for Trump for free.

    McConnell: "Providing assistance for Ukrainians to defeat the Russians is the number one priority for the United States right now according to most Republicans. That's how we see the challenges confronting the country at the moment."

    In other words, Trump got us our SCOTUS and Federal judge picks, but oh shit did we ever do the math wrong on what that would cost us, and now it's time to claim we should have America's interests at heart again."

    I believe he wants to support Zelensky, but he should have put Trump down when he had the chance. The GOP is now stained with Putin's blood money.

    Wow, Pooty Poot (that's a poopin') , aka Skid Mark Sasha, is going all out since he learned Zelensky is going to be in the US.

    1) Russia is not responsible for the war in Ukraine, both countries are 'sharing a tragedy' that of course could just end if we leave
    https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-64055018

    2) Russia will surge its military to 1.5 million to ensure victory in the war they really really with sugar on top didn't start in Ukraine
    https://apnews.com/article/putin-finland-sergei-shoigu-ee953abf7f9bf217ccdaa61ec1b35ddd

    3) Russia will spend whatever it takes to ensure victory in Ukraine - you know, based on the fact their soldiers are freezing to death in the war zone using 1960s technology (or worse) and their super weapons don't appear to actually exist
    https://www.bloomberg.com/news/arti...-in-funds-to-ensure-army-s-victory-in-ukraine

    4) Kremlin says 'No Chance for peace' if Zelensky goes to US. The peace that could break out the second that Russia goes home.
