The Biden administration is pushing the United States into war against Russia to protect Washington DC’s political and financial interests in Ukraine. None of this is a surprise as both Republican and Democrat politicians in DC continue to use Ukraine as a money laundering operation for key U.S. stakeholders.
Today Joe Biden announced he is sending 31 ‘Abram Tanks’ from the U.S. arsenal into Ukraine to further push the United States into direct conflict with Russia. The potential for direct U.S. military engagement in Ukraine is now just a matter of formality, as the Abram’s tanks will be accompanied by military advisors, trainers, and the processes to sustain and maintain them on the battlefield. WATCH:
[Transcript] – […] “today, I’m announcing that the United States will be sending 31 Abram tanks to Ukraine, the equivalent of one Ukrainian battalion.
Secretary Austin has recommended this step because it will enhance the Ukraine’s capacity to defend its territory and achieve its strategic objectives.
The Abrams tanks are the most capable tanks in the world. They’re also extremely complex to operate and maintain, so we’re also giving Ukraine the parts and equipment necessary to effectively sustain these tanks on the battlefield.
And we begi- — we’ll begin to train the Ukrainian troops on these issues of sustainment, logistics, and maintenance as soon as possible. Delivering these tanks to the field is going to take time, time that we’ll see — we’ll use to make sure the Ukrainians are fully prepared to integrate the Abram tanks into their defenses.
We also closely coordinated this announcement with our Allies. (read more)
We are being pushed into a war that few Americans want.
This is getting out of hand mostly because the Russians are defeating Ukraine in the war. Without the U.S. operators and material involved, Ukraine cannot win. However, the Biden administration view Ukraine as a U.S. proxy in Europe, and as such all of the corrupt DC systems are in alignment to continue escalating this conflict.
This is happening against the backdrop of Ukraine officials being caught stealing money given to Ukraine to fight the war.
None of this is good, and it is likely to get worse.
WASHINGTON DC – […] The decision to provide the tanks marks a stunning reversal for the Biden administration, which had previously argued they would be of little benefit to Ukraine.
But the decision to send the Abrams tanks helped get Germany to move forward with a separate effort to provide Leopard tanks to Ukraine, which the U.S. had seen as benefitting Kyiv.
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz announced Wednesday that Berlin would send Leopard tanks to Ukraine and allow for other European nations to also send the German-made tanks to Kyiv. (more)
The combined West may consider this to be a proxy war. But make no mistake about this, Russia does not.
To them this an existential fight which they can not and will not lose.
I’m astounded by Putin’s patience after all the meddling of the West into Russian matters.
Russia has a war economy and the support of the entire population with a 80%+ approval rating.
Beside the bulk of the planet is standing by waiting to see the imperial empire get it’s nose bloodied on the Ukrainian playground.
Because you know the world is sick and tired of it’s “rules based system”rules that they make up and enforce.
^^^^ All of this !
It is existential for the US Petro-dollar as well
When Ukraine hits a school, Kindergarten, old age home, city centers, apartments complexes of civilians….with US supplied HIMARS it is reported as….
US HIMARS missile hits…..
United States HIMARS hits…
And Ukraine uses our HIMARS to hit civilian structures almost daily.
The people of Russia are more aware of what is happening than our own population.
The children write letters to “their defenders”.
The attacks on the Ukraine churches are adding fuel to the flame.
The Russian people appear to be overwhelmingly supporting their troops.
I saw this last night…..
Russia has arrested 400 people in a year due to Social media posts.
Uk–arrests 3300 people in a year due to Social media posts.
Found that interesting…..
The US killed 1M civilians in the middle east wars.
And 90% of the countries in the world are not on our side on this.
I saw a report recently that said Ukraine’s roads and bridges were not capable of handling 60-ton Abrams tanks. True?
Basically yes. The bridge system was designed around 45 ton loads. Which incidentally is one of the reasons that that was/is the weight of Soviet/Russian tanks.
US/NATO tanks were never designed for that restriction, as a consequence they are 60 tons+ depending on fuel/ammo load out. The reason for this is that they were never expected to get very far east into Soviet territory, their prime function was to blunt and hopefully stop a flood of Soviet tanks pouring West so armour in particular had to be good, so hence heavy. Maybe these tanks will have their own personal tank transporter!
Even if they do, to get to the front they have to cross 700 miles of Ukraine either by now degraded road or rail. They also have to bring new munitions, as the Abrams/Leopard share the same 120mm ammo stock but the UK Challenger’s is different. Neither are already in use in country. A logistics nightmare.
The real problem is that these tanks, designed in the 80s at best, albeit possibly upgraded to 90’s standards will be facing current Russian anti tank weapons which will make mincemeat of them.
On top of that is the image of German panzers (Leopards) attacking Russian forces again. This may not mean much to us but every Russian, that is every including Putin, has a relative who died in WW2 at the hands of the Germans. This is very dangerous.
Incidentally, the reason why Germany had to hold out supplying its tanks until the US did is economic/commercial. Had the Leopards gone in without the Abrams and faced the inevitable videos of their destruction, the US could have exploited that as its sales teams spread across Europe selling tanks to all those countries that gave their tanks for destruction in Ukraine. If, and its a big if, the US actually puts tanks into Ukraine that advantage will be to an extent be negated in the general destruction.
The problem for US/NATO hardware of all kinds is that for at least 40 years it has never faced an enemy when it didn’t have control of the air over the battlefield. Now it is and everything changes.
If you want to get up to date with reality in Ukraine, as opposed to what you are told to believe, you need to read this by a gentleman called Big Serge.
If you want to understand what the Russians are doing in the Donbas in particular (this is at the heart of the war) in terms of military strategy please take the time to read his latest from 5 days ago.

Biden to Send 31 Tanks to Ukraine:
The Russian Army has destroyed 8,000 Ukrainian Tanks in eight months while the Russian Army has 15,000 Tanks in it’s arsenal.
What are 31 American tanks going to achieve besides dragging out the slaughter of young Ukrainian soldiers? Do Democrats enjoy watching a 150,000 Orthodox Christian Ukrainian Soldiers die for something that was settled by The Minsk Accord Treaty in 2014 and the United States along with NATO intentionally violated?
That’s what I pointed out above. This is a nothingburger political move. The F-16s aren’t.
According to the Daily Mail, Zelensky now wants aircraft for bombing sorties. There is only so much that the Russians will put up with. Biden is endangering the whole world.
Zelensky also wants nukes. He asked for them months ago.
The Russians already tore up all of Ukraine’s and Europe’s Soviet era tanks that were donated to Ukraine. Russia is chewing them up.
So if Zelensky is going to use any tanks going forward, they now have to be western tanks from NATO, the EU and the US.
DoD is also scouring South American countries for Soviet era armaments they may have to contribute. Columbia already told the U.S. to take a hike.
Zelensky is as crazy as jobama!
You mean the person telling him what to do, just like Obammy the half white izslime traitor mammy is now here.
Let’s be real about it.
Obama was making BANK, hustlin’ with AntAC.
Build Rackets Better…
“With the Obama DOJ’s launch of the Kleptocracy Asset Recovery Initiative, aimed at battling large-scale public corruption in foreign states, the State Department, DOJ, and FBI began outsourcing some of their own work to AntAC.
“In February 2015, Viktor Shokin was appointed prosecutor general of Ukraine, and was soon scrutinized for helping the owner of the energy company Burisma. Shokin had helped owner Mykola Zlochevsky regain control of $23 million that was frozen by British authorities.
“Burisma was made famous by Hunter Biden’s involvement in the company, and Zlochevsky was the one who struck the deal to appoint Hunter to the company’s board of directors in 2014 at a reported salary of $83,333 per month.”

Those tanks will be the reason we get into a real war with Russia. When those tanks are smoking wrecks surrounded by dead U.S. servicemen, that will be Biden’s “Day that will live in infamy” moment and the uniparty will rush to war.
Tanks are fine machines of war if properly supported. Can the Ukes provide the support (artillery, infantry, air, and maintenance) that they require? Unlikely, in my opinion.
We’re too skittish to fight directly with the Russians. That’s why we’re hiding behind the skirts of the Ukrainians.
Soros urged the use of Eastern Europeans to do the dirty work for us.

So True…. USA never will win a war….they cant.

We’re not skittish, it’s just cheaper to use other people’s blood and treasure.

Oy vey.
Well, over 99.9% of the Ukrainian Army is Orthodox Christian but the guy sending them to their death isn’t…is he?

short answer, Yes
Minsk Accord is just BS treaty according to Merkel, Germany want this war after all.
It matters so little…… all the Russians will do is up their game from being Mr Nice Guys….. like when you bombed their bridge and blew up their pipeline…. They gave a beating out……
So many Ukrainians are now doomed….and Zelensky will go to his three multi million dollar homes and enjoy all the stolen money………. and the Ukraine will not exist in a year!!! (Oh and so are those tanks).
“and Zelensky will go to his three multi million dollar homes and enjoy all the stolen money”
I read on the Gateway Pundit today that high ranking Ukrainian officials blew through $100,000,000, 000 on luxury items for themselves. That’s enough to send over $1500 to every single person receiving Social Security here in the US. We’re suffering and they are living the high life on our money. There just aren’t words to express the depth of my disgust.
Z will not survive the war or the medium-term aftermath. The Azovs will track him down.

Allow the US to get embroiled in a real way. I assume personnel will come along in some sense.
Can’t decide if you are a troll or just dumber than a box of Democrats. Your numbers are garbage.
Didn’t EU President Ursula Von der Leyen admit publicly that the Ukrainian Army had already lost 100,000 killed back in November? Do you think she was lying! That’s about 15,000 a month dead and 99% of them never even see a Russian!
“destroyed 8,000” “31 American tanks”
From our pawn shop in Kabul to Kiev.

Ukraine will now push for F 16 fighter jets.

Yep, see my thread about that here:

This is FAR more significant that a few sitting duck tanks.
Your post is meaningless because the Russians destroyed Ukraine’s ability to control the skies in the first week.
And have done nothing with that advantage for a year.
Except let Obammy mammy destroy our wealth from every direction.
Electing someone because of what half race they are…..very, very…..very stupid idea no matter how guilty you feel.
more likely push for your wallet
The Netherlands has pledged 18 F16’s or so and Ukraine only needs to ask for them
Ukraine is thinking about it whether they want them
Funny how we went from “We only supply humanitarian aid and Helmets” to providing battle tanks.
175,000 dead Ukrainians and counting.
These F16’s and Abrams will be smoldering wrecks soon together with the Leopards and Abrams I am afraid.
Isis was able to kill 8 of Turkey’s Abrams tanks, and those were a bunch of hodge podge tribes men.
A modern army like Russia should have no trouble disposing of 31 of them in short order.
Can’t be a suprise to anyone and Russia still does what it says its going to do, only the US/Nato keeps escalating.
Honestly from Russia’s perspective it would be hard to trust anything from the US/Nato even if they return to the negotiating table as they already failed to implement Minsk II and Merkel herself admitted it was to buy time to start something (war) with Russia.
Then March 2022 timeframe Ukraine was instructed not to be serious about negotiating a peace (Istanbul agreement) because US/Nato wanted to continue the war with Russia.
One idea: maybe we should send an APC with all the neocon EU/US/Nato politicians to the front lines in Bakhmut and then the rest of the civilized world can continue with adult discussions.
Are the Dutch going to fly them?
If they want effective F16s.
Newly trained pilots on a plane will not get the effect they want.
Well it is said that they will train Ukrainians, but for F16’s as well as Abrams tank the training will take months. So the theory is while the Authorities say it will be Ukrainians it will probably be Nato crews.
I think in the end it doesnt matter there are too few tanks (130 tanks is not going to make a big difference and there are no tank battles so far) and no matter who drives/flies them they are still going to be blown to pieces sooner or later.
There is one other possibility, they will break down first. A lot of equipment isnt operational and the logistics of spare parts will be an unfolding nightmare.
But they will just call the crews “volunteer” or AWOL. At some point people in the West got to start wondering why their volunteers aren’t coming home.
The Wagner group they had a story out, they find US “volunteers” and when they are alive they take care of them and feed them and send them home. They US now classified them as a criminal group. No good act goes unpunished by the US government 🙂
Nothing funny about war-ever. Why 31? To trigger Leopard 2s.
You could be right but the Ukrainians aren’t trained to fly those.
Even if Ukraines have been training in US F-16s over last three months, they are still “nugget” F-16 pilots.
Would get “smoked” by experienced Russian pilots. If US pilots were flying them, then ………… that’s another dimension.
Time to stop this clown circus.
Mission Creep Great Again
Just like Vietnam! Ill-advised with no public support but for the blood thirst of blood, guts and body bags for the Neo-Cons in the CIA, White House, Congress and MIC. These war-mongers care nothing about the people of the World in their quest thru their old and dementia-riddled brains to “Killing Their Enemy”. They have no common sense fear of a hyper-sonic MIRV first-strike that sets the World back 20 or 30 centuries, maybe more! They are beyond description insane and demonic!

Hopefully, most of them grew up and became responsible adults. I know I did.
That’s today’s boomers who are supporting the war in Ukraine.
Nope, nada, never… I’m a boomer & I remember Vietnam. And, I haven’t supported the war in Ukraine even from the beginning, but have been reading Larry Johnson’s articles & they have been very educational. The comments are pretty good too.

I support the current thing.
You mean like the ones who’ve been in government last 40 years?
Don’t worry, they still despise our former America. And especially any of you who DARE speak of it or any other truth.
I’ve unloaded bodybags during the Vietnam War. Something every CONgress person should be required to do…
Go for a ride in one? I’m with you on that.
And that’s the plan.
Enter into war to avoid the impossible mess at home.
To cause a mess at home. And in Europe. And in Russia. They want a WW. “Die for us, again, plebs. But this time For The Planet.”
It will be on at that point!
I hope and pray that NO American male or female joins the military services at this time.
We all read that recruitment was down at least 25% over the past year. I read some propaganda article yesterday, I think on Daily Mail, that recruitment is UP this quarter, reported by some Military hack. I doubt it. Lies. That;s what they do.
The Draft will be reinstated … and will include females.
Hmmm. Open interpretation at the draft board ….or no?
Burned out accountant here that subs in a rural East Tennessee county. Also an adjunct math instructor at a local college. Unfortunately I see young people still signing up. I admire their patriotism but really feel sorry for the naivety that will get some killed.
They do not realize that they are being sent into danger not to protect their country (yet) but to protect the MIC. What is really disgusting is that you will not see family members of war mongers in harm’s way, but the young men and women like those I see in my job.
I dread the day when I start seeing names I know, listed as KIA or injured. D**n I am starting to cry and getting angry at same time thinking about this.

Watch!!!
This is how WW1 and WW2 started and yes, by God, those treasonous bastards are planning a kinetic war with Russia.
Well, they’ve given up on waiting for us to start a civil war here, so they’ll get their chaos through a different channel.
It’s going to be a Revolution, again.
Going to offer another view on that.
Unstable royal families caused WW1.
Really really stupid terms of surrender imposed of defeated caused second.
Allowing the country to turn it’s face away from what’s Right and kneeling before perversion definitely is the reason for the third.
The King of England, Russian Czar and Kaiser Wilhelm were all grandsons of Queen Elizabeth and 1st cousins. As children they lived and vacationed together. King George had a chance to rescue Czar Nicholas and his family from the Bolsheviks and then backed out at the last minute!
Making family trees that have no branches your road map for leadership is not ever going to turn out well, EVER.
I read this and think, Vietnam Redux.
Why do we use words like “redux?” Why can’t we call it what it is, “revived.”
This bastardization of the English language is how we got to the 1984 dystopia.
Wow … that’s what upsets you … Redux … a word?
How about … rinse, repeat?
Read what was written, they’re correct on a foundational level.
Because “redux” combines the meaning of “revived”, “restored”, and “repeated”. It is Latin, and directly translates to “to bring back”. English does not suffer by adopting some words of Latin or Greek (or German or French, for that matter). English is the most powerful language in the world, and it got that way by extending itself with words and phrases of nearly all other languages.

And it’s going to be WWIII with the threat of nuclear weapons.
Let that sink in.

You’re going to be waiting for Godot.
Don’t hold your breath. The current Regime doesn’t need any stinkin’ rules to which to adhere, to follow.
Doncha know they make it all up as they continue to wreak havoc on We The People and OUR Country.
Especially with nothing to stop them. When they stole power via fraud they became accountable to no one and they know it. What are you going to do throw them out of office? The have dominion and demonic rats to cook the books again.
How about hang them from a tree?
…on Korea?
A nuclear exchange with Russia would be a great way to really get going with that planetary depopulation agenda… Hillary was after this with her Syrian ’no fly zone’ and it’s still their plan. They will provoke and provoke… I hope Russia resists…
I certainly hope nuclear weapons don’t emit carbon or nitrogen! Wouldn’t want Gates/Schwab bug-based utopia polluted.
No, they don’t, but the bugs will gradually become radioactive and thus will be able to stop worrying about being eaten by the big idiot meatbags.
It is interesting to me how the more evil these people get, the more God’s word is proven. He also proclaimed the demise of such evil.

Judgment cometh 🚨
Ukraine is not a NATO member. It is a criminal money laundering country that kicksback money to government spouses and children. Congress must stop this.
It is a de facto NATO member with all the privileges conferred.
Defacto remains it’s not a member
“……..a criminal money laundering country…….” True. But it should be noted that not everyone in that country is in on the dealings. It’s only their corrupt government officials, and the wealthy oligarchs that placed them in power that reap the profits. Majority of the Ukrainian people are, like in most countries, cannon fodder for the elites.
“Congress must stop this.” Congress can’t stop this.
They’re making too much money participating in this.
From what I hear most Ukes are, in fact, just as corrupt as the leaders.
Just like the U.S.
Quick ! To the purple tie closet! We’ve got hearings to have……..
With rampant social spending cultivating yet another generation of indolent dregs and escalating a foreign war we have no business being involved in in the first place, Dopey Joe is looking more and more like LBJ by the day. . . . and LBJ was a one term racist too.
Except he would at least sit on the toilet and crap while he talked to you. This twit just stands there
So Ukraine couldn’t buy tanks with the gazillion we’ve already sent them?? Oh that’s right, Mrs. Z had to go Christmas shopping in Paris on the American taxpayer dime.
Gotta feed the MIC. The idea is to drain European countries of Challengers, Leopard 2s and Leclercs to eventually replace with American Abrams to feed the MIC. The goal is to drain NATO in Europe of European weaponry. Because they have limited energy, the US will replenish them with US made armaments. Lloyd Austin was deliberately placed in this role from Raytheon to serve a purpose. It’s all related.
In all fairness she bout some really swank tank-tops.
Worthless piece of +%#**, and double for his two stooges !
Has Congress declared war against Russia?
Odd these tanks are coming after classified docs found all over Brandon’s private residences.
They need WW3 to start.
FJB and the rest of the commies.
See, that’s just it..the Russian’s aren’t communists any more haven’t been for 30 plus years, now dc on the other hand, they are. You folks just don’t get what that means yet.
Stasis media says NATO is winning. So why send tanks now? These people has gone mad.
Gone on 60 seconds. FJB version
Who besides me remembers 4 years of peace and a great economy!! Dang it miss President Trump!!
How much better off would we be if we had expanded trade with Russia, kept both Russia and China wanting us as their partner instead of teaming up against us? The powers that be went full ape to stop President Trump from dealing with Russia. I never understood it.
Trump and Putin are nationalists. WEF can’t have that in 2 of world’s super powers.
Russia is our competitor, not our enemy.
Communism is our mortal enemy. communists are running dc.
Get it?
Do ya now?
Greed & power.
Nobody is talking about peace anymore.
C’mon man……I’m getting a piece of that and that and.that…..hell it’s never been better. Here feel my hairy leg. Let’s call Korn pop to come over. Smoke crack with smartest guy I know. Just keep that effing bastard grandchild away from me….
M1 Abrams vs Leopard 2 vs T-14 Armata
M1A1 Abrams
around 72 tons -power/weight ratio 20.8 hp/ton
Top speed – 66km/h
Operational range – 426km
Main armament – 120mm smooth-bore gun*
Rate of fire – 10 rounds/min
Effective main gun range – 2,500m
Crew – 4
Leopard 2
around 67 tons -power/weight ratio 23 hp/ton
Top speed – 69km/h
Operational range – 450km
Main armament – 120mm smooth-bore gun*
Rate of fire – 10 rounds/min
Effective main gun range – 2,500m
Crew – 4
T-14 Armata
around 55 tons -power/weight ratio 30 hp/ ton
Top speed – 90km/h
Operational range – 500 km
Main armament – 125mm smooth-bore gun
Rate of fire – 12 rounds/min**
Effective main gun range – 4,000m
Crew – 3
* Both the M1A1 and Leopard use the same 120mm gun
** The T14 uses a fully automated, un-maned turret
The T-14 also has a superior electronic/sensor/laser anti-tank defense system.
The T-14 can also fire a laser-guided missile from its main gun (7,000m range)
Although not yet implemented, there are plans a T-14 version will be fitted with a 152mm cannon.
NOTE: Must be noted that as yet, no one knows how many of the new T-14’s Russia has built.
Umm, are the T-14 tanks US or Russian?
Not sure I’m buying in. The T series has historically had a weak backside. I believe they over reached and built a tech nightmare. Unmanned turret and auto load? What could go wrong?
Reply to Bruce, T-14 are Russian built.
The T series has historically had a weak backside.
So did the Abrams. Many M1’s were disabled with a well-aimed RPG to the rear during the Gulf War, Iraq and Afghanistan.
Russian. It’s their new main battle tank.
That’s the one 👍
According to sources Putin has 2000-3500 tanks ready for the first day of the offensive.
That would be T-80’s, T-90’s and possibly the T-72’s. According to what source you read, the T-14 is anywhere between 0, 20-odd, or more.
It’s in the bag of tricks for the swamp, “we need a distraction stat.” War is one of their absolute favorites, kill off some useless eaters and the right people make some real bank.
Look Squirrel!
Apparently not enough people dead from mRNA shots yet.
This is plan B.
A good war will cover up a lot of criminality including money laundering and many other nefarious Uniparty/Deep State/Biden shenanigans.
Exactly right Doggy
The reason why Biden clearly singled out Germany was to signal to all the other NATO and EU nations he would play their sick game.
Many other countries were not going to send their newer tanks to Ukraine.
They started the finger pointing game which landed on Germany. They were not going to send until Germany did.
Germany turned around and pointed at US…was not going to send until US did.
Now I see the beginning of fighter jet finger pointing game starting with NATO and EU.
Imbeciles. Immature Imbeciles.
Evidently some countries lease the Leopard from Germany and would need to buy them first before giving them to Ukraine. Hence, the pressure on the Germans.
“Arming Nazis”
Surprisingly enough, I did have that on my 2023 BINGO Card.
Elite virtue signaling, send lawyers, guns, and money the SHTF. They need a war but can’t be the people,
(west) who start it, more weapons in nuclear plant, they are pushing but may need an FF it won’t be first time.
I’ve watched this guy before. He has the facts. Something the military talking heads don’t seem to possess.
He is a former marine officer also.
The Obiden Syndicate is fighting to keep their Criminal Disneyland open.
Ukraine is where they run their Drug Trafficking, Human Trafficking, Child Trafficking, Sex Trafficking, Plutonium Trafficking, Weapons Trafficking, Build their Bi0-Weapon Viruses and Vaxxes, Launder their looted Foreign Aid Money and plot their Color Revolution Coups.
Psalm 94:
19 When my anxious thoughts multiply within me,
Your comforts delight me.
20 Can a throne of destruction be allied with You,
One which frames and devises mischief by decree [under the sacred name of law]?
21 They band themselves together against the life of the righteous
And condemn the innocent to death.
22 But the Lord has become my high tower and defense,
And my God the rock of my refuge.
23 He has turned back their own wickedness upon them
And will destroy them by means of their own evil;
The Lord our God will wipe them out.
Be it unto us according to Your Word, Father. Amen.
@sundance – not sure if you saw the recent announcement that Kevin is planning a visit to Taiwan this year, much like what the drunken hag made last year.
Do you think Taiwan is the next Ukraine? (If it isn’t already in terms of defense contracts)
I really do want Russia to smack them all up the side of the head! Even Mexico is now telling Biden to go swing!
I guess I’m in the minority, but I’ve never been “for” the Ukraine Since the first time I hear that “ruler” say he wanted ‘one world order’ along with peace……I feel for the citizens, but then I feel for any citizen of any country that has to engage in a fight of any kind for any reason. Sort of like the people in the U.S. seem to always want to fight with one another cause we don’t agree to ‘ALL THINK ALIKE’. Just a different kind of war, but it is a war none the less. Always take, but never give; seems to be the new normal. Didn’t used to be that way here in the U.S. I loved America, and until the past couple of years, never thought of living any where else, but now, if there was a better society, I’d go there right now. I don’t like what we have ALL become; left, right, or middle…..we are not nice people.any more
We are a minority of at least two, Sherri.
Most of the Ukraine citizens are pro-Nazi and they even have nazi-loving battalions in their army.
Those Abrams won’t last long in combat.
Compare the US Abrams and the Russian T-80. (No comparison, actually).

Here’s what I’ve learned from Brian Berletic. Those of you with info or experience, please chime in:
Abrams use an airplane turbine engine that is easily detectable by the enemy’s detection equipment. In contrast, Leopards use diesel engines.Abrams are gas guzzlers and need lots of fuel support vehicles.They’re huge and heavy. Depending on the road and bridge systems in Ukraine, this could be an issue.They require a fair amount of maintenance and experienced maintenance teams which will likely be situated 1000 km away in Poland.It goes without saying that an experienced crew is needed to operate them. It requires a team of 4 and this experience can’t be created overnight. So it begs to be said whether NATO soldiers will be operating them rather than inexperienced Ukrainians. Maybe Poles will operate them since they probably have already received training as a NATO partner.As mentioned by other commenters, these tanks need to be used in combo with other weaponry such as air support and other elements.There are a number of vids showing the Abrams having difficulty going through snow and ice and up an incline. It is unclear whether Abrams have snow skids. If the Abrams arrive after the spring rains in Ukraine, this might not be a problem.
He also said that the Russians would just need to take out the bridges and then no tanks on the front lines.
So…they have us chasing all of these scandals and self revealed corruption so that we can’t focus on any one thing. I say we must get to the facts , evidence (overwhelming) of one issue that will outrage the public to the point that citizens will unite and bring the cabal down. Which issue….election fraud or the poison clot shot that is killing us. I think the issue we should focus on is the shot. This issue I am sure involves the judges being poisoned as well …a great motivator to dole out justice finally.
Generals gathered in their masses
Just like witches at black masses
Evil minds that plot destruction
Sorcerer of death’s construction
In the fields, the bodies burning
As the war machine keeps turning
Death and hatred to mankind
Poisoning their brainwashed minds
Oh, Lord, yeah
Politicians hide themselves away
They only started the war
Why should they go out to fight?
They leave that all to the poor, yeah
Time will tell on their power minds
Making war just for fun
Treating people just like pawns in chess
Wait till their judgment day comes, yeah
Now, in darkness, world stops turning
Ashes where their bodies burning
No more war pigs have the power
Hand of God has struck the hour
Day of Judgment, God is calling
On their knees, the war pigs crawling
Begging mercies for their sins
Satan, laughing, spreads his wings
Oh, Lord, yeah

Last week, I met a young woman who had recently moved to Canada from The Ukraine. We had a talk about the war and I was so surprised to hear her say that it would only be the arms dealers who would profit by the conflict, not the citizens of Ukraine. So it seems the Ukrainian people are not fooled by Zelensky.
Any truth to the rumor that the Taliban will be countering by sending 31 ‘Abram Tanks’ from the U.S. arsenal to Russia?
Requires a lot of fuel and maintenance and is difficult to operate.
Why do I suddenly feel compelled to pray for the safety of Archduke Ferdinand?
$113 billion can feed a lot of hungry Americans
W H O would ever join jobama to fight this false money laundering war??? There is N O T a chance in hell
ANYONE including my son will spend one minute to this nonsense. Stick joey/hunter on the gd front lines. THEY need to be first in line.
NO ONE i know would enter into this idiocy. Good luck jackazz jo finding military.
F J B!!!!
…..and put Ms Lynsey G. on the top of the leading tank into battle with the Russians.
Well, in addition to the tools of war Joey-boi is sending to the Z-man, we should send all ILLEGAL military age invaders over to help with the festivities. That is, after they’ve all be jabbed, goes without saying, I guess.
Gee, we’re spending a lot of taxpayer money. Shouldn’t there be a declaration of war?
If only(!) we had listened to the wisdom of a five-star General. (Basically, you can’t earn “six stars…”)
In his farewell speech, he coined the phrase: “military-industrial complex.” And, “supreme military commander” that he was – the term “commander-in-chief” was not, to him, “perfunctory” – he earnestly tried to warn us.
He tried to warn us that “the military” would become “an industry” that, one day, might sell us a [Patriot …] “missile system” that would cost a billion dollars a pop. (No joke.) And, a turbine-powered impossibly-heavy tank that ran on jet fuel. But this industry’s mantra would always be the same: “Buy more of our military toys.”
General Eisenhower realized – far more than anyone else did at the time – that this would lead to critical military weakness. We would think that it meant something to offer “thirty toys,” as long as the “toys” were supposed to be “bad enough.” (According to the Industrialists who had sold them to us.)
Our opponents would very-properly laugh us off the planet, were it not for the fact that they are still ladies and gentlemen …
Zelenskyy waiting for one of his demands to be rejected as he takes his money and goes to southern border of US to claim asylum. Says it is too dangerous in Ukraine.
Zelensky was going to peace talks early in this conflict, in Istanbul. Boris Johnson / NATO / USA put the stop to it.
Scott Ritter and Colonel Douglass McGregor say defeat could be the end of NATO.
Egos involved. And Lloyd Austin worked for Raytheon?
While I was reading the fabulous sundance articles on the various House Committees preceding this article, my mind was envisioning DC as a smoking radioactive ruin.
I grew up in the Cold war and especially during the Cuban Missile Crisis. At that time, the threat of nuclear war was taken seriously by both sides and a back room deal to remove U.S. nuclear missiles from Turkey provided a relief valve for the Cuban stalemate.
With this perpetually reckless Biden Handler regime in power, I have zero confidence that a relief valve will suddenly appear to end this Ukraine “stalemate.” If the EU or NATO nations decided to oppose this madness and seek a peaceful solution it could work but they are likely too timorous to try and too distracted by Klaus’s “Climate Change” domination of the world to intervene.
Biden’s admin is destroying much of the USA and they do not show a hint of regret, concern or awareness. They only see the goal to transform the USA into whatever Democrat dominating dystopia they envision. They are the craziest and most destructive admin in U.S. history and now they are willing to sacrifice the world to advance their goals–and protect the grift in Ukraine.
Your title made me recall the tune … Bang the Drum Slowly … which never fails to bring a tear to my eye.
Just as Bidinh’s war drums make me feel sad for all involved, and also bring tears to my eyes. Am I the only one who wonders where our “peace-loving” State Dept. is? Are they all still on COVID vacation? I thought “Diplomacy” was their tradecraft? I thought “Diplomacy” was the Democrats tradecraft? The only drum I want to bang is a call to the negotiated Peace conference.
Although I never quite understood what that song had to do with baseball …
‘Am I the only one who wonders where our “peace-loving” State Dept. is?’ – Kenji
With neocon warmongers Tony Blinken and Victoria Nuland running it, I stopped wondering a long time ago.
Personnel is policy.
Joe outa not do that. He is coming closer and closer to a Nuclear War with Russia. If that starts China will ally with Russia and there You Go…World War III. I say let Ukraine disappear. Let Russia do away with a very corrupt Nation. Don’t believe it is corrupt, ask Hunter Biden
Do not fear “nuclear war with Russia!” Russia knows far more about Ukraine than “The West™” ever did. At one time, the capitol city of “Rusa” was in this place, before it was removed to Moscow. The Russians still refer to this conflict as “a civil war,” and they aren’t “whistlin’ Dixie.”
