- President Zelenskyy warned that Ukraine would lose the war if the US didn’t send it more aid.
- House Republicans have been stalling on a $60 billion aid package for Ukraine.
- “It is necessary to specifically tell Congress that if Congress does not help Ukraine, Ukraine will lose,” he said.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Sunday that his country “will lose the war” against Russia if Congress does not act to send it more aid, Agence France-Presse reported.
“It is necessary to specifically tell Congress that if Congress does not help Ukraine, Ukraine will lose the war,” he said, per AFP.
For months, House Republicans have stalled on a bill containing $60 billion in aid for Ukraine, stipulating that it should also include increased funding for security at the US southern border.
The hard truth is it doesn’t matter how much aid we send, Ukraine is in a losing position. They need more than aid to win and that’s the problem
As an American, it is infuriating and heartbreaking to see these psychotic dipshits in Congress actively working to consign an entire fucking country of 60 million people who WANT to integrate more closely with the US and Europe to being one of Putin’s puppet states.
I sincerely hope the GOP either lets this go through or loses power in the next couple weeks. Both outcomes are actually realistic possibilities at this point.
Ukraine can’t win without foreign troops on the ground.
Any additional aid is a sunk cost if you think Ukraine can defend itself or take back lost territory.
The only reason we send aid to Ukraine is to weaken Russia and strengthen the MIC.
Ukraine can’t win without foreign troops on the ground.
What’re you basing this on? What’s your warfighting experience?
You wouldn’t be asking this if I said the same thing about Russia 😬
Just shows how much you’ve succumbed to propaganda.
It would be a completely different statement then so my response would likely be different, no shit. I’d still be curious if you were basing your statement on anything or if you were just talking out of your ass.
As conservatives cheer.
Conservatism is death.
Russia’s already lost. They traded their entire military export market for a piece of land.
Their trade with China, Iran and North Korea is through the roof. It may not be as diverse or lucrative as western trade, but it’s good enough to keep them in decent shape.
Physical destruction needs to be visited upon Putin. The financial pressure will not be enough.
Since 2023 Russia has dropped from the world’s number 2 arms exporter, to 6th place.
It’s Zelenskyy’s job to say that. But if he doesn’t get it he’ll be in a tough situation with his troops assuming he tries to backpedal that and encourage them to keep fighting.
I don’t understand why Europe isn’t more involved in shutting this situation down. It’s your goddamn borders at risk if this smoldering fire isn’t put out.
Europe CANT do more. They don’t have the military strength due to perpetual underfunding. It’s precisely what every US President since Bill Clinton has been bitching about. The wolf is at the door and they’re every bit as unprepared as has been claimed for the last 30 years.
We’ve relied too heavily on NATO and the US and it’s biting is in the ass right now. A European army would be great in this exact kind of situation. But then everyone in Europe will be “but muh sovereignty”, like Europe didn’t do in 50 years what people tried to do for centuries, which is preventing us from killing each other.
Europe has a huge army they are just not using it befause Russia has nukes.
Republicans doing typical Republican things to no one’s benefit.
That said, I don’t think aid in the form of sending more arms over is right. The proper humanitarian course of action would have been to send a coalition of troops over to Ukraine to forcefully shut the situation down. So many lives would have been saved had we done this earlier.
Instead we have chosen to let the war drag on by sending weapons and supplies, letting both Ukrainians and Russians(many of which who aren’t there by choice) slaughter each other.
Sending in troops would be extremely risky as that would be a direct war between Russia and the west, basically the start for WWIII with Nike’s and other fun things.
Edith: nukes, not Nike’s
basically the start for WWIII with Nike’s and other fun things.
“WWIII: Just do it.”
