๐ณ๏ธโ๐๐๐ฝWho has the cards now?
docD@georgetakei Do the Ukrainian people now also have a deal for free weapons, like Trump wanted their minerals in exchange for helping them?
แดฎแตโฟ แดฟแตสธแถแตVOTE IN THE PRIMARIESUkraine should ask for mineral concessions in the USA
mmalcGulf states as well:
"The UAE requested 5,000 interceptor drones, Qatar requested 2,000, and Kuwait also expressed interest in acquiring the systems, TAF Industries founder Oleksandr Yakovenko told the Financial Times.โ
The UAE asked for 5,000 interceptors, Qatar for 2,000 โ and the reason every Gulf state is calling Ukraine is the same: Patriot isn't enough - Euromaidan Press
The obstacle to getting Ukrainian drones in the air quickly isn't production โ it's the several months needed to train pilots.
Hans Hafner@georgetakei I don't have words anymore to describe these people. ๐
@wonshu I'm running out of words myself...

Darwin WoodkaWe know very well how to fight a drone war, we've just spent millions on the expensive toys so we feel the need to use them.
There's an old old book called David's Sling that explains all this.
Linda Rose Smit@TCatInReality @georgetakei You cannot use what you do not have. Ukraine needs missiles. Generators. Medevacs. Patriots. Not American troops. They have not won a war for decades.
I'm not sure what you mean here.
Of course, I'm saying that America should have given far more weapons (and less restrictions) to Ukraine, so they could defeat Russia. At the same time, they could have embedded some troops to learn modern warfare (and frankly help deter Russia)
In fact, any #NATO country could have done that (or still do it)
@TCatInReality @georgetakei Ukraine is not yet a NATO member, so having nato boots on the ground poses restrictions. Indeed those might have learned. In 22 ukr was sending troops to be trained (on drones among other things) over to EU countries. By now they are the ones with the knowledge. Europe needs them.

Wieke@Drums_in_the_night @georgetakei the man is an absolute moron and to be honestโฆ. Itโs irritating to see that the US is bombing the crap out of this world and never gets hit where it hurts. In the US homeland. It is time that the US feels what it does to the world.
Becca@georgetakei Cut the US off randomly. Blame supply disruptions and lower ranking people who dont exist.
If Ukraine wants to win, they need to recognize the upper hand re: the bully.
the one useful thing Franco ever did was slow-roll Hitler
LZonjee - Antifa ๐๐๐ฆ๐ป@georgetakei Why does Zelenski even let them have them, with their illegal war? He probably needs them harder to defend him for real evil.
Robin Barton@georgetakei King of the world, he don't apologize for nothin
GJ Groothedde ๐ช๐บ@georgetakei I bet they neglected to mention his not wearing a suit this time. ๐

Drey@georgetakei - Agreed; He probably will never receive a Thank you from TACO and Vancer the Prancer.
@atlovato @georgetakei he does not want thanks. He needs missiles.
@lindarosesmit @georgetakei - Absolutely 100% on your answer.
Lord HeeHaw II@georgetakei I hope Zelensky negotiated a VERY good deal.
We're all going to owe so much to the Ukranians when everything is settled. They've fought so well and so bravely and been inspirational for us all.

KerplunkI hope Selensky made a good deal, handling fee ala trump a million a day better more....
Ben@georgetakei Haha, imagine Ukraine making a peace deal with Russia, allowing Russia to come to Iran's aid.
RichReading these comments regarding The Rapist Felon President and JD Stupid.
One considers America's image abroad.
It appears that the children have taken over the school and fired all the teaching staff and the Principle.
All we have left are the kids, playing with adult toys and waving goodbye to any semblance of sanity that once existed in Republican politics.
Agitatra ๐ฒ๐ป๐ฟ๐ช๐บ๐บ๐ฆ@georgetakei I think the technical term is: "arrogance of power".
@agitatra @georgetakei hubris comes to the fall
I'm confident they'll throw Ukraine under the Russian bus even more now: That's how rotten they are.
It's overdue to teach the US fascists a lesson.
