The delivery of tanks, advanced air defense systems and potentially long-range ground-launched bombs may be a response to Ukraine’s dire requests, but it also brings with it a new load of problems.
These hastily and urgently provided supplies indicate that all is not well in Kiev and that it is closer than ever to losing the war with Russia. (snip)The US decision to ship upgraded nuclear bombs to Europe also will convince the Russians that tactical nuclear war may be NATO’s response if Ukraine collapses. Compared with the US and NATO, Russia has a massive arsenal of tactical and strategic nuclear weapons.

Fools all. Many of us spotted the reality of the Ukraine war from the beginning, just as we spotted the reality of Covid-19, from the beginning. Those who think they can beat Russia have never studied history. The reality of the situation is that the Global Governing Elite believe that they are invincible. In this situation, they have bitten off more than they can chew, and may have flown too close to the sun.

So it turns out installing a corrupt, senile sociopath as President of the most powerful country on Earth really is the best way to destroy civilization.

From Mark Wauck:
Stephen Bryen is as Deep State as they come:
Center for Security Policy
Senior Fellow
Stephen Bryen is a leading expert in security strategy and technology. He has held senior positions in the Department of Defense, on Capitol Hill and as the President of a large multinational defense and technology company.
Dr. Bryen has 50 years of experience in government and industry. He has served as a senior staff director of the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee, as the Executive Director of a grassroots political organization, as the head of the Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs, as the Deputy Under Secretary of Defense for Trade Security Policy, as the founder and first director of the Defense Technology Security Administration, as the President of Finmeccanica North.
So, when a guy as Deep State connected as Bryen pens an article like this one, flat out stating that Ukraine “is losing the war” and deriding the official narratives as “propaganda, well, you know just how bad things are:

Had hoped to cross the Rainbow Bridge without glowing in the dark. Don't mind dying if it's for a good cause. But the Borscht Belt Hatfields vs the McCoys isn't it. The Ukraine has no strategic significant to MY country the USA. By sending billions of dollars in aid and war materials to the Ukraine all we have done is prolong the bloodshed and property destruction. So why is The Vegetable giving carte blanche to the Z man. Simple. It is a distraction away from the chaos at our border. our economy in the tank, crime out of control, and our nation turning into a banana republic. Plus the Ukraine is vital to the Bidet Crime Syndicate. No need to listen to Quid Pro Joe's State of the Union address. As long as he is around it is the pits.

Putie and the russkies have won this war of attrition. It will become more apparent after a few hundred thousand lives have been lost. Look for the war to end by mid-year. Look for biden the cheater to slow-walk the surrender to russkie forces. That makes it two in a row for him. Look for biden the cheater to prepare for war in Iran and China afterwards. It amazes me how medical science has kept this vegetable on his feet this long.

We have not won a war since 1945 though we have been in one or more continuously since then. This is by design.

Num 8 is right! We're feeding the Military Industrial Complex, per President Eisenhower's warning in his final address. Like it or not, the defense industry is America's largest money maker, selling military equipment to allies and developing new hardware for our own forces. Unfortunately, the Democrats keep giving away our newest, secret hardware to our enemies forcing us to spend billions more to develop newer and better capabilities. Biden just did that in Afghanistan. Clinton did it in Serbia when a F-16 and F-117 were shot-down doing stupid ill-planned missions and giving new onboard defensive hardware to the enemy. Same is happening in Ukraine, this time were giving it away to the Russians who will either capture it in a battle or buy the hardware directly from the corrupt Ukranian forces on the black market.

This is getting entirely out of hand. Demented Joe and Putin in charge of 80% of the nukes in the world ?
What could possibly go wrong ?

They say that NATO including the USA sent all sorts of modern military equipment and weapons systems into Ukraine. What would happen to all that military material if the Russians prevail militarily? If that were to occur, would the situation arise where China ended up with a lot of top flight NATO and USA weapons systems to reengineer to the future military benefit of China and their current partner Russia?

President Trump would have negotiated peace from the start instead of stoking the flames of war like Brandon has done. Elections have consequences..

OP, I remember a few fellow Ldotters being part of that band-wagon that virtue signaled for "freedom" and poo-poo'd any mention by 'Putin lovers' that Zelensky wasn't the hero they thought he was. Shipping money and arms to a thugocracy with a Nazi problem was never going to be a good idea.

Will they now stop calling those of us who knew this was another bad situation for our United States “Putin lovers”? How mindless. All rah-rah and no memories of follies past. No serious thinking. Like watching thoughtless little children run their trikes into the street...
