All of that shit will be in Pakistan India and China within the month. Assuming that it is actually going to Ukrainian forces. I highly doubt that it is going to Ukrainian forces tho.

Then again it might be considering everyone is insane.

Both.  100 of 300s and 10 of 600s.


M4s?  Or AKs?  For small arms.  7.62x39 or 5.45 or 5.56?

Most likely M4s and 5.56.  It's army stocks, I seriously doubt US Army stockpiles any 7.62x39 or 5.45.


Chechens have already been photographed with M4s.


Chechens are all about the Gucci, so they get stuff like that at home.

How do your doubts explain dozens of videos of Ukrainian forces using that equipment to send Russians to kingdom come?

This is why I don't actually have much of a problem giving it to them. I'm not interested in us fighting the Russians and don't remotely consider Ukraine worth WWIII over. But I'm OK with sending them weapons, cash, and intel.

We supply the weapons, they supply the manpower and effort. The Russian army gets badly degraded and exposed, we get to study it in action, and it's tied up in Ukraine - totally unable to act anywhere else. Every missile they fire in Ukraine is one they won't fire somewhere else, and every Russian who dies there won't be bothering anyone else anywhere else. And maybe they just end up losing the war in the end.

Pretty good deal for us, when you think about it.

We give Mexico military equipment all the time and they are literally more corrupt than Ukraine. Or even Italy which is fantastically corrupt.

Don't kid yourself.
This is going to end poorly for Ukraine and for some of the nearby countries.
I wouldn't be surprised if a nuke ends up landing in Germany or even The UK.
If Putin is as sick as the news says he is, there's no way he's not going out with a bang.
Meanwhile, Ireland is accepting an unlimited amount of Ukrainian refugees and letting the citizens know that they may be forced to harbor them in their homes and businesses.
We'll probably start to see more of this from other EU countries and wouldn't be surprised if the WH doesn't start thinking of doing the same (LA tried it with the homeless).
It's being reported that the US doesn't have the resources necessary to replenish the armaments we "lent" to Zelensky. Too many sole source contracts and dependence on foreign raw materials.
As for Zelensky, he's a dirtbag criminal that is sacrificing his citizens in exchange for fame and fortune.

Nothing is good about this war.
There are no heroes, only villains.

Why is Zelensky a criminal ? I don't trust the guy, and I doubt I'd vote for him as he seems a little too much of the lefty globalist brand for my taste but I am unaware of criminal activity. As far as his people what is he supposed to do ? Give up to Russia and let them all be slaves just so there won't be a war ?

Why nuke Germany ? I think if he nuked anyone at this point it would be Ukraine.
