Poland`s aid to Ukraine if Russia invades - part 7

@Bratwurst Boy
The US money being spent is largely spent in the US for material production and labor costs. And still the US is not just blowing these things out for delivery. Why? Because the US is not really at war, and US lives dont depend on it. Its a proxy war, and not only do the US people not GAF, but neither do US business. Bobko raises the questions to be answered, and frankly they are pretty obvious questions. That said, if the US was really at war, it would take less than 90 days to switch to a war time economy and absolutely obliterate production numbers. But that is not going to happen. And honestly, any factory in the west, if the west were at war, that had workers who wanted time off of a trip to the spa should fire that POS immediately.

....destroying the Mullahs in Iran would help to end this ME conflict pronto, IMHO. They are the shadow power behind Hamas and Co....

It would go along way to avoid other upcoming proxy wars with the West!

And where do you draw the line for "...the US really at war"? An attack by Mexico? Or Canada?

I believe it because so many rounds of talks were held.

Between whom though? It was not between Putin or Zelensky, nor between the foreign ministers. Russia just sent some guy from the third rank, someone not authorized to make any of the real concessions needed to make peace (in a personalized regime like Russia, that would be only Putin). This was at a time when the West was still not fully commited to sending heavy weapons, let alone tanks to Ukraine. An obvious Russian attempt at stalling while hoping that things got solved quickly on the battlefied.

The Bucha discovery was more then two months after several rounds of talks took place.

Indeed. And the discovery destroyed any small chance of a quick resolution to the conflict, if we choose to believe that Russia was actually interested in such a solution in the first place (which again is highly doubtful).

Putin lies, stalls and deceives. That is what he does. It is what he did at Minsk when he initially claimed that the Russian soldiers in Ukraine did not belong to Russia and he has been doing it ever since. Even politicians who genuily hoped that they could help broker a diplomatic resolution like Scholz and especially Macron have by now realized this.

Ukraine is backed into a corner.

They are, but not by the West. Their country is being invaded by a man who utterly hates their nation and their national identity. Who lies every time he talks about Ukraine. Who has broken every agreement his country ever made with Ukraine. Who has made it the central mission of his reign to wipe their country, if not their people from the map.

@@AntV

If we are to believe Schroeder,

Don't. Do not repeat the mistake we Germans made and trust any of his claims about Putin (whose friendship he has not renounced btw) or Russia.

Keep in mind that he has no government position, was not on any official mission when he visited Putin, neither from Berlin nor Kiev. He has no access to secret government information, and there is really no reason at all to take his word over the one from people who were actually involved in the negotiations, like the afore mentioned Israelian PM.

@Bratwurst Boy
The American people will determine when the US is at war, not any president. Biden cant declare war on anyone because the people will not back him or his government. A proxy war with no American boys getting killed is not the US being at war. And if Biden trys to send US troops anywhere, January 6th will look like a kindergarten birthday party.

@Tacitus
Stall tactics and lies like the Minsk accords? Like those agreed to by Ukraine? Ukraine is backed into a corner because they did what the US told them to do and what Z thought would make him the next Churchill. Lets stop painting anyone as fvcking heros when they are nothing more than manipulators of facts. Its a shi77y war that Russia started and should be held accountable for. But Ukraine has kept it going along with the US and everyone has responsibility for all of the dead and wounded.

the US is not really at war

Seemingly a large portion of the population does not understand this. Primarily on the Democrat side.

It's pretty fascinating stuff. The same people that marched in million man marches against Nixon and Vietnam, and then against Bush and Iraq, are now calling for some kind of "Shock and Awe" against Russia.

To them, Biden is a war time president, that consistently refuses to properly arm a flailing ally. They are already at war, and the Commander in Chief is seemingly eschewing an approach that would guarantee the fastest conclusion to the conflict.

The rational part of the world, sees this not as the final act before an impending conclusion, but as the beginning stages of a conflagration that will consume the planet.

It was actually the Ukrainian ultra-nationalists that ruled the streets, that prevented Zelensky from implementing Minsk 2

@Bobko
You lose all credibility when you bring in Vietnam and Iraq. No one is calling for shock and awe against Russia. The majority of Americans want the US to stop funding Ukraine. The majority of the US is against Biden and his policies.

@amiga500
Z fvcked up not implementing Minsk 2. And he is an idiot begging for US money while trying to make it sound like anyone owes him something. The guy rubs me the wrong way. But, Russians still have no business in Ukraine.

Were you busy as a commander of a Russian concentration camp for Ukrainian POWs and captured civilians???

Really? The US forced Ukrainians to defend their borders against an invading military???

What do you think Ukrainians would had preferred to do faced with the russian army if not for the US....serious question here...maybe a misunderstanding?

symptomatic of being a loser, when you go to NK for help?

NK is powered by slave labor.... anyone who supports that is disgusting... NK starved about 10 percent of its population to death in the 1990s.... (I guess I see why you like it... russians love causing famines).

NK has a wall and a mined death zone to prevent it's inmates from leaving.....now that reminds me about something....wait....

Let's clear things up....I chose the West as "my side" because I don't want the nutters in Pyongyang or Teheran to win, that's it!

a wall and a mined death zone...

...at our southern border? In a millisecond...Where do I send the check?

Who knows, may be it is v/v and this wall will protect NK from their southern brothers when the real crisis of capitalism break out? We have all signs of it coming...

And then what!

Break out of a socialist paradise???

...at our southern border?

....to keep you in? Or to keep someone else out....big difference!

That's what I meant....nutter countries like NK need a wall from keeping their people running away...countries like the US need a wall to stop the masses fleeing to them.

People deciding with their feet....no matter what the nutters in said capitals throw at the West.

Or to keep someone out....big difference!

I will gladly settle for a total ban on crossing the border in both directions.

The possibility is what counts. The choice.....you don't have to take it, but you could if you want to....that makes a world of difference!

These oncoming masses are overwhelming the western countries...but it's a clear sign that the West, that Capitalism, is the lone winner here. No matter what third world countries tell their people, its a fact!

...have to go till tomorrow guys and gals!

The US warned Ukraine the Russians would invade and Z ignored the warnings. Ukraine really didnt defend its borders at all until Russia was already rolling toward Kiev.

They sat and denied anything would happen. As soon as Vlad was lining up his army at the border, Ukraine should have prepared defenses like they are trying to battle through now to regain territory. The US has been in Ukraine training them since 2014. Again, it is not the US job or obligation to do anything for Ukraine. It is the US job to protect itself, and its citizens. The assistance given to Ukraine thus far is more than enough for a "friend".

I think they have done an excellent job defensively - they stopped the Udmurtians special ops attempts to take the airport and Kiev, quickly formed defensive positions and shot down enough planes for the few sober Udmurtian generals to get worried about wasting more. Also have basically kept the Black Sea fleet in port and only lost one big town to the drunk rapist invaders.

I salute them !

. Also have basically kept the Black Sea fleet

russia has moved most ships from occupied Crimea to russia proper (where they've also been attacked).

Ukrainians are goot at coming up with new tactics, russians learn to counter them only after initial heavy losses (and then the Ukrainians come up with something new)

russia is relying on its only tactic (throw bodies at the enemy) which it can because no russian gets upset at russian soldiers being killed... even the soldiers own families don't care (as long as they get a big bag of pelmeni or a towel set in return).

big bag of pelmeni

Alternatively, 2 bottles of vodka.
