From CNN, “The Pentagon announced a $2.5 billion Ukraine security package on Thursday, including for the first time Stryker armored vehicles and more Bradley fighting vehicles that could be used against any potential Russian offensive in Ukraine this spring. … The latest package includes 90 Stryker armored personnel carriers and 59 more Bradley infantry fighting vehicles. The previous package included 50 Bradleys – bringing the total given to more than 100. Thursday’s announcement marks a significant escalation in the armored vehicles the US has committed to Ukraine in its fight against Russia.”
So, it’s that time of the month when the “big brother nation” decides to dole out a miserly allowance of military hardware to the “needy nation,” as if Ukraine is greedily asking, “Please, sir, I want some more.” Ukraine does not desire more out of avarice; it desperately needs more to survive, and not by the drip, drip, drip method, which is not only ruinous for Ukraine, but the piecemeal, dragging-the-feet approach is insulting to them and Americans! When will the West get a f***ing clue? The world war has already begun. This is NATO et al. versus Russia and, dare I say, the rest of the Axis nations — Iran, North Korea, and whatever nation is helping Russia. (And Axis enablers: India and China!) Stop treating Ukraine as a proxy fight! It is the actual fight. Do we want another war, a la Korea, Vietnam, or Afghanistan? Unfortunately, America seems to have a better track record at slowing losing wars than quickly, decisively winning them.
Moreover, everyone, especially American intelligence, is expecting a Russian Spring offensive that will likely be launched from Belarus toward Kyiv. Yet, America and other European countries still seem to find it only fitting to gradually and incrementally increase the potency, quantity, and types of military materiel. Only now are they starting to grant some of what Ukraine has been requesting since Russia’s illegal war on Ukraine began. The West has been reluctant for fear of “escalating” the war. Are you f***ing kidding me? Seriously? Look around you, morons! The war escalated the day Russia crossed into Ukraine for the second f***ing time and annexed Crimea — you know, a sovereign part of Ukraine. And they still are reticent to send battle tanks with this impending attack from Russia. The one thing the West refuses to provide is the same piece of equipment that Ukraine has been begging for and which everyone understands would be needed to repel a Russian offensive. Fan-f***ing-tastic! We’re already at war with Russia. The sooner the West understands this and acts accordingly, then the sooner we can win this. Anything less would only lead to Russia running over the rest of western Europe, all of which would have been completely predictable. The West is weak and stupid. Afraid of hard truths and required actions. End Russia now!
