It is apparent you don’t know what is happening, nor why, just as the overwhelming majority of people don’t.

The enemies of America aren’t who  suspect, and they are far more sinister than Vladimir Putin.

Marginally and it's mostly a strategic threat, which hasn't really changed.

Note sure receiving an aid package in April means weapons and munitions made it to the front where it is needed.

I’ve got a feeling that the only military “aid” that will ever reach Ukraine will be a small fraction of what the U.S. Taxpayer is being charged for. 10% for EACH “big guy” adds up quickly.

Literally throwing money away. Like taking aid money, and paying it to fictitious companies to build imaginary fortifications. Then blaming the US for not sending enough money.

Where are the fortifications? Kharkov OVA paid millions to fictitious companies

The Russians' advances came just weeks after Congress approved a $61 billion infusion of military aid for the Ukrainian forces on April 21, proponents of which argued that the aid was essential for Ukraine to withstand the invasion."

I gotta ask. What should you do when it's your people that would be harmed by fighting it out with the Rooskie? Going toe to toe with them on anything is what is known as failed strategy. If the Rooskie wants to blow stuff up, then, it's on them. Document and show the world. Until that pooint, the best course of action is insurgencyh, and getting them when they're out in the open. Sooner or later they will have to come out and play. That's the best time to give them the high hard one.

FWIW,that commie traitor Russell Brand was a traitor to us for going over there and siding with the Rooskie, and he was also a traitor to Ukraine for siding with the Rooskie, while the Rooskie invaders raped, pillaged and plundered their way through the Donbas. I guess he had a problem with them doing it to somebody or something closer to him, and, when they caught him taking pics of it, they ass raped him, labelled him a NATO spy, and, they killed him.

So, I guess that's how it goes. Okay to do to them, but not me, because reasons. So, it's okay to spank when those big bad rooskies are doing it to those Ukrainian Nazis, but not so good when your last thought is why those people might have a problem with it. It's certainly why the Ukrainians had a problem with it. It's why the world has a problem with it.

So, what do you do? Waste all your ammo while your own people are in the line of fire? They'll get theirs.

There is not a massive network of 2014 vintage fortifications going all the way from donbas to kiev. They are concentrated in certain areas. So not all kilometers are created equal. Defense belts are relatively thin and when broken through, sometimes massive swaths of poorly or hastily defended terrain are behind them. Even MSM knows this. In many places, breaking through those first few km are the hardest part.

https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidaxe/2024/04/23/a-ukrainian-brigade-disappeared-and-a-russian-brigade-almost-broke-through-how-the-battle-for-ocheretyne-upended-the-war-in-ukraine-this-weekend/?sh=36c0458f4901


As the 47th Mechanized Brigade was pulling back from the front line east of the village of Ocheretyne this weekend, the Russians attacked—and very nearly broke through Ukrainian lines into the 20-mile-wide ribbon of undefended terrain separating the free city of Pokrovsk from the front line.

Only chance they ever had to “win” is US or NATO step in between the two and neither is willing to start a full on war to save the most corrupt nation on european continent.

Every thing else is smoke and mirrors.  And of course military industrial complex profit at US taxpayers expense.

Not lightly fortified or unfortified. Cities default to at least moderately fortified because there are concrete and underground structures all over the place. Russia is not going to launch a frontal assault on the city like that, their MO is to encircle it as much as possible, then establish a foothold in a small area while the rest of the forces expand the encirclement and turn up the heat. The construction funds being stolen could be for trench network construction. The trench networks and minefields across open areas slow down the russians and determine how fast they can encircle the cities.  So, no idea how long it would take for Kharkov.

This is why it is silly when some posters act like taking a year to get through 1km of a hornets nest worth of trenches and minefields means they will keep moving at 1km/year afterwards. A dog might take 1 year to chew through a .5 inch thick fence, but its definitely not going to keep moving at .5inches/year once it gets to the other side. This is the kind of linear math that young earth creationists use to prove their 6000 year old earth.

Don’t worry. No territory Russia is gaining is important or strategic. The land only becomes those things when Russia loses it.

Fortunately for us, the money for the weapons pales in comparison to what it will cost to rebuild Ukraine. That’s the bloated elephant in the room, but the cult likes to keep that part quiet. Might as well put ourselves on the meat hook to rebuild Gaza while we are at it. It’ll be us or the Chinese for both.
