    The US needs to get a Ukraine lethal aid bill passed. It has been bogged down too long. Funding American companies, to pay workers good wages, to create arms for Ukraine to blow up the invader is a win-win-win.

      Republicans are bought and sold to Putin via the NRA and the RNC server being hacked in 2016. It’s not going to happen.

      Israel comes first.

      They need US support to commit their genocide against a much weaker military.

      Ukraine will just have to get by because checks notes, Israel’s sovereignty is better for the world than Ukraine’s.

      What a shitty world we’ve built for ourselves.

    Over two days of talks in Brussels, NATO’s top officers are expected to detail plans for what are set to be the biggest military exercises in Europe since the Cold War later this year.

    While I understand the importance of showing might, this was a bit underwhelming compared to the tile of “NATO top officers schedule war game.”

    These things happen a lot more then people realize.

    Does this mean Biden is positioning to enter the Ukraine war? Would probably help his numbers in the upcoming election against Trump.

      Russian has access to nuclear and other “illegal” weapons. The use of these weapons are generally agreed to be illegal because they are not limited to the target they are fired at. Russia has indicated in the past they are considering nuclear and other chemical weapons in Ukraine. Assuming that those in power know more than we do would indicate an increased fear of a new or illegal weapon about to be used.
