If I identify as Ukrainian can I get some cool freebie stuff too? Heck I technically paid for it

And that same government doesn’t want to let us keep pistol braces

When will the Pentagon hand this stuff out to Southern Border state’s populace to stop the invasion of illegal aliens?

Quoted: This is a good list of everything Americans should be able to own. For the exact same reasons. View Quote Yes, everything on that list is constitutionally protected by the 2nd, by definition - we clearly believe it is necessary for a militia to be well regulated or we wouldn't be sending it. Also, we have MI-17s lying around? |

Defense stocks go up and up and retired generals and congress get rich.

Quoted: When will the Pentagon hand this stuff out to Southern Border state’s populace to stop the invasion of illegal aliens? View Quote The border is weird, these people are not fighting to come over here so to speak These people were given the blessing from a presidential candidate and now president They pretty much show up with their hands up giving themselves up to law enforcement with the promise of a future of the US taking care of them You couldn't stop them with guns, they'd beg right up to the barrel and gladly be taken as POWs. Hell you could probably shoot them until the ammo is exhausted and they'd use the bodies of their fellow "refugees" as sandbags to cross the rio grande |

The pathetic thing is, the Biden Administration had to be shamed into doing it.
Same with the visits. Boris Johnson strides in waving the Union Jack while the Bidens send over a couple of 3rd level bureaucrats. |

Quoted: 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. View Quote I agree. We are fucked. |

Quoted: 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. View Quote China watching too. Kiev was a wake up call for their Taipei plans as their plan for dropping Chinese paratroopers into Taiwan’s biggest city was always gonna be a bad idea. They’re building up their Marine and amphibious forces but don’t have enough so they switched to focus on large air drops. |

Quoted: Well, hopefully we get rid of all the woodland and UCP grey digital camo stuff out of the inventory. View Quote UCP might finally work in Kiev or Odessa Attached File |

Quoted: The 70s and 80s are back in style baby! We even have the higher murder rates and rampant urban decay. Too bad we didn't get good pop music, conservative values, and original movies as well. View Quote Joker was kinda late 70s ish vibe even though it’s set in 1981 NYC and gas prices are 1970s |

Quoted: We pay for lots of stuff that never really is gong to be used. Tanks that go to Saudi Arabia and sit in storage, it's sort of corporate welfare. View Quote The F15EX is about 90% the F15SA that the Saudis paid to develop. FMS does keep production rolling and developing. I'd rather other countries help pay for the world order we enforce. |

Woohoo! Arming the Taliban and Ukraine while disarming us citizens! Way to go!

Quoted: Yeah and if we don’t ship a single one it’ll take more than a year to build back up. View Quote Read this? https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2022/04/25/the-twitter-account-giving-a-window-into-chinas-internet.html |

When was the last time a Ukrainian Igla downed an airliner?
You can expect though that Russia will supply some captured weapons to terrorists. |

Quoted: Read this? https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2022/04/25/the-twitter-account-giving-a-window-into-chinas-internet.html View Quote No, but it doesn’t surprise me. The Chinese public will have little say though until they are accidentally whipped into more of a frenzy than expected and the CCP is drawn to war to appease them. Or in case of internal problems where a distraction was needed. |

Quoted: We give Mexico military equipment all the time and they are literally more corrupt than Ukraine. Or even Italy which is fantastically corrupt. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: None of this will fall in the wrong hands. None. That’s not happening when you give it away to one of the most corrupt regime on earth. All is well We give Mexico military equipment all the time and they are literally more corrupt than Ukraine. Or even Italy which is fantastically corrupt. One could argue the US is the HIV of the world. |

I'm surprised at some of that stuff, quite a bit of it requires trainers and logistics support that Ukraine does not have. We must have a familiarization program going somewhere, possibly Poland?
