There are hundreds of thousands of Russians in Ukraine.I've been thinking the exact same thing all this week. Maybe russia isn't the only one planning a spring offensive.
Unfotunately nothing brings back the dead.If Ukraine has been keeping Russia at bay with draw down dollars, even $24 billion in direct aid is gonna make shit really suck for Russia through 2025.
Warms the cockles of my heart.
-blinks-Beware:
The NATO arsenal is being dumped on Ukraine along with endless billions and this person says "If Ukraine has been keeping Russia at bay with draw down dollars, even $24 billion in direct aid is gonna make shit really suck for Russia through 2025."
All I can say is LOL
Well, at least now NATO and the US have to replenish their diminished arsenals at a very high cost to their taxpayers. This will ensure great profits to the weapons manufacturers and endless money for political donations. Win-win.
Question is whether any of this will help Ukraine withstand the Russian offensives? Who knows for sure but the lack of manpower of Ukraine is the main issue here. That is why this new mobilization law was passed and other measures are being put in. Zelenskyy needs more Ukrainian men so his war, on behalf of Western countries, can continue.
I forgot to bring up the artillery shortage, lack of spare parts, lack of cohesion, lack of trained soldiers, lack of air cover and air support and a shortage of anti-air missiles though but that's OK. This new bill will wave that away.
See, this is how I know you are nothing but Kremlin.Zelenskyy needs more Ukrainian men so his war, on behalf of Western countries, can continue.

When will America send its soldiers to Ukraine to fight Russia instead of using Ukrainian men as cannon fodder?
And that is why they are called orcs.Remember the Texas drug dealer Russell Bentley who fled to Donbass to help the Russians? I was thinking about him recently, wondering what ever happened to him (was reading about the AF guy who fled prosecution and joined Russia) Seems someone messed with Texas.
"He was fighting for our guys,” she said. Simonyan gave no details on how he died. The “Vostok” battalion with which Bentley fought confirmed his death, calling for “exemplary punishment for those who killed Russell Bentley”, suggesting he did not die in a Ukrainian attack. Police in Donetsk said on 8 April that Bentley had gone missing after going to help victims of a Ukrainian strike on Donetsk. On a Telegram channel previously run by him, Bentley’s wife, Lyudmila, said he had been “abducted” by Russian soldiers from a tank battalion, and called on them to let him go."
There's a rumor the guy had been raped and then beheaded by his kidnappers.

<insert Russian accent>When will Russia stop doing horrible things to it's neighbors?
Plot twist, half those bills get half their resources dedicated to Ukraine through back-end unmarked payments, so it's irrelevant. Repubs get what they want, MIL gets what they want, UKR gets what they want, and I guess RU gets less equipment and citizens to maintain.And the headline and description of bill is a complete lie. This is a nice big budget increase for the US military, with a bit snuck in along side to give cover of helping Ukraine.
-$20 billion of this is US spending on replenishing US military stockpiles (replacing mostly retired/expired weapons previously provided to Ukraine - that should have already been in spending/budget plans) ~ as far as I can tell, none of this actually goes to Ukraine.
-$15 billion is US spending on US forces, including training in Europe. A portion of which indirectly helps Ukraine (training and intelligence sharing), but mostly just funds ongoing US military operations.
-$2 billion is US spending to bolster air and maritime defenses around Ukraine (basically being ready if Ukraine loses...), none of these funds go to Ukraine.
-$14 billion is funding for US arms firms, to purchase weapons for Ukraine. This does help Ukraine, minus the significant portion pumping up the US arms industry profit margins.
So of the $61 billion, $51 billion goes to fund... the US industry-military complex. Of which only $14 billion is ultimately being used to provide weapons or support to Ukraine.
And the other $10 billion of the bill - actually goes to Ukraine! In direct support.
I'd be fine with my tax dollars actually going to Ukraine's defense. Unfortunately it's just old equipment they can make use of, and I'm just saving tax dollars by not having to get rid of the old stuff.Well, at least now NATO and the US have to replenish their diminished arsenals at a very high cost to their taxpayers.
As a lover of peace, and not a Kremlin stooge, you'd agree to give the DEFENDING nation more cannons.When will America send its soldiers to Ukraine to fight Russia instead of using Ukrainian men as cannon fodder?

America is the biggest meddler known to man and the world is sick of it. You people live in a very pro-Western bubble so you are not exposed to it but the world is very much tired of American and Western meddling and bullying. The rest of your posts are simply trash and not worthy of my response. Tired old insults, acting like little children. Very easy to act tough online. Enjoy your little bubble of naivety and delusions.
Remember, we are in a multi-polar world now so your days of bullying other people and other countries is over. No wonder American scumbag politicians are trying to ban TikTok - it’s because they are afraid of the truth being spread to the average low information American. TikTok is harder to control than YouTube so they must ban it - for freedom and democracy of course.

Yes. Part of this is simply how the sausage is made in congress. The situation is looking better as more info comes out. Add this to the fact that the Euros are planning a big spend and I think Ukraine will get the boost in resources this year that are desperately needed.Plot twist, half those bills get half their resources dedicated to Ukraine through back-end unmarked payments, so it's irrelevant. Repubs get what they want, MIL gets what they want, UKR gets what they want, and I guess RU gets less equipment and citizens to maintain.
