  1. The aid that the US provides to Ukraine is peanuts, it's nothing, compared to money that we waste on things that don't help us at all.

    Ukrainian aid is a proxy battle between the GOP and the Democrats. If the Democrats go out fool for Ukrainian victory, the GOP will amplify its vicious messaging, and cause people who only vote their pocketbooks to vote the GOP into the White House

  4. Britain has gambled closed to 20 billion on Ukraine, including private bond holders – Ukraine has missed it's debt repayments, and fitch has downgraded it to a 'C'. To understand war, just follow the bankers and their actions.

  5. What a great interview! Thanks Kate and Gen Ryan for this. May Our Lady of Vyshhorod, Josyf Slipyi, Andrey Sheptytsky, Blessed Vasyl Velychkovsky and all Ukrainian saints, First Testament Prophets (Elijah, Ezekiel, Joel, Jeremiah, Isaiah, Amos etc), Jewish holy men and women, St Michael, Raphael and Gabriel, all the angels, St Anne, St Joseph, St Olga, St Charbel Maklouf, St Benedict, St Seraphim, St George, St Catherine, ask the Almighty to help Ukraine. May it be freed from Russian oppression. May all who have died RIP and may relatives and friends be comforted.

  6. I think Mr. Putin has shown incredible restraint in his actions given the level of provocation he has received. Many times I have thought that he is the only adult in the room. I truly feel that this will not end well, and the blame will sit firmly with Nato.

  14. Giving weapons (not sell) to Ukraine knowing they are going to be used against Russian mainland is a declaration of war. Stop lying NATO will be judged by history

  19. Stop covering up approach in Pokrovs you are an officer in what ever. You know that RU have to take the high grounds and area of reinforcement and resupply before hitting the big city but it will be taken easy later as Adivka. Now if you say you are winning RU will escalate it and the truth you cannot do anything. Since you are losing economic war and domestic support. If US quits then you will crumble so better worry about yourself.
