Russia’s Protracted War in Ukraine

[LWW]

What, in your opinion, is Afghanistan's relevance to Ukraine?

This is a lie.

You have no idea why you believe the Afghanistan experience relates to Ukraine. Come clean.

You even quoted me explaining it.

You really are special.

[LWW]

Such is the nature of a defense in depth. The Russians are killing Ukrainians, which is one goal of the defense in depth. Further it is buying the Russians time so they can reinforce where they need to and of course counterattack each Ukrainian gain.

and then, of course the Autumn rains are coming in two weeks. The rains turn the ground to mud. Then comes winter.

I know you are a slow learner. Do you understand these points as I have explained them?

Tell me again about that 7:1 kill ratio and the Russians destroying over 200% of Uke tanks.

That was comedy gold.

You sad nothing substantial.

What about the 7:1 kill ratio? I told you where I saw it.

Why do you lie about the Russians destroying over 200% of Uke tanks. You cannot help yourself, can you? I did not make that claim.

That was the Soviet claim, not mine.

You didn’t endorse the claims, you did claim that it was difficult to assess the claims.

I said I can understand how it could happen.

And you lied about what I said.

It is Russians. I thought a friend should tell you. As you are not likely to have any, I thought, why not me?

If only LWW cared as much about defending America as he did Ukraine.

The US and some NATO member nations tried to get the Z-man to the peace table. Z-man says No.

In related news, Z-man agrees with Sen. Fetterman on dress codes.



US fails to get Zelensky to negotiate with Russia

The House of Representatives, where all money bills must originate, is struggling at the moment over a continuing resolution (CR) to keep federal funding going. The $24.9 billion for Ukraine is not in any proposed CR, at least so far.


The Biden administration Ukraine request breaks down to $13.1 billion for military assistance; $8.5 billion allegedly for humanitarian assistance; and $2.3 billion for “financing and to catalyze donors through the World Bank,” whatever that means.


Just before leaving Kyiv, Zelensky fired six deputy defense ministers, alleging corruption. His action was designed to backstop the Biden administration which is accused of providing money with no strings to Ukraine, much of which disappears. The administration has blocked any auditing of money for Ukraine.


In the past it was the United States that opposed any peace process, but that opposition was before US and NATO weapons’ arsenals were emptied and before the attempt to overthrow Vladimir Putin failed. Trying to compensate, Washington and NATO armed up Ukraine to break through Russian defenses.

One can never know for certain but it seems American dollars flowing to Ukraine are at an end.

I think the CR is dead, too.

Debate and pass the twelve appropriations bills using regular order. Let's have hearings, televised, of course. Let each agency come defend their proposed budgets. Take as much time as you need. Let Biden shut down his illegitimate government in the meantime.

And vacate the chair.

None of the CR's floating around right now have any Ukraine funding.
