      Sure, blame the Republicans and not the Democrats wasting all their munitions on a middle east genocide.

      I am not a republican, but sending aid to Ukraine so that more Ukrainians die, is something we shouldnt be doing.

          Those are easy words for someone that doesnt have to fight and die in a war that is already lost.

            The Ukrainian people are fighting for their freedom against Russian oppression. We should be helping them, and your defeatism is doing the opposite.

                Doesn’t matter that they’re conscripted, they’re invaders and aggressors and they need to be stopped. We should be helping Ukraine, and you’re over here waving the surrender flag.

                  We should be helping Ukraine

                  By “we” I assume you mean your government. If you’re in the US your country already backed a fascist coup in 2014 and had been bombing eastern Ukrainians and ethnic Russians like in Donbas and Crimea for resisting. As you’d expect, that meant people in Donbas welcomed the Russian army as liberators in 2022.

                  Not to mention blocking all negotiations with Russia because the war is profitable for the US MIC.

                  I wouldn’t exactly call that “helping”

                  You said its that they want to fight for their freedom so we should help them. Turns out a large portion of them are forced to fight, they dont want to. How are you okay with giving money to a country so they can fight a war with war slaves?

                    Yeah, when your country is attacked by a conquering, aggressive nation, you fire up conscription. This isn’t rocket science. Ukraine is fighting for it’s survival, it needs soldiers to fight off the invaders.

                    We should give money, and weapons and materiel, to help in that fight.

                  Yes, We should be helping Ukraine, the East Ukraine that has been bombed by West Ukraine since 2014. Did you not see what West Ukraine troops look like? Nazi symbols everywhere.

      If you bothered reading the article before making your vapid comments, then you’d see that the aid that republicans are holding up isn’t going to change anything:

      The Biden Administration is entirely correct to warn that without further massive U.S. military aid, Ukrainian resistance is likely to collapse this year. But U.S. officials also need to recognize that even if this aid continues, there is no realistic chance of total Ukrainian victory next year, or the year after that. Even if the Ukrainians can build up their forces, Russia can deepen its defenses even more.

        It seems your reading comprehension is pretty poor: the article doesn’t say that Ukraine can’t win ever, regardless.

        It says that they can’t win a total victory this year or next year, even with further aid.

          My reading comprehension is just fine. Anybody with a functioning brain can understand that Ukraine’s prospects of winning will only be worse from here on out. Western support is already cracking, and that’s the only thing that’s been keeping Ukraine afloat this whole time. Meanwhile, the west is already openly admitting that it lacks capacity to continue supplying Ukraine at even current levels while Russian military industry is rapidly expanding. It’s incredible that people still can’t understand the basic facts of the situation.

          Is this a confession that Euromaiden Kyiv depends solely on support from the US government which imply no popular support domestically or internationally, that no defection from Russian military squads occurred contrary to the claim by Pax Americana media, and that Russians did not waste all their resource for the war?

      Yeah, no. I’m from the states, and these Ukronazi losers can fuck off and pay their own bills. The same goes for Taiwan, Israel, and whatever other meme countries our government and ruling class – the real traitors – are supporting. Americans have their own bills to pay.
