“He was the most prodigious personification of all human inferiorities. He was an utterly incapable, unadapted, irresponsible, psychopathic personality, full of empty, infantile fantasies, but cursed with the keen intuition of a rat or a guttersnipe. He represented the shadow, the inferior part of everybody’s personality, in an overwhelming degree, and this was another reason why they fell for him.”

The Ukrainians ain't sitting still waiting for this contigency. They're no longer crying shell hunger for their old Soviet tubes. They're still fielding more tanks than they began this war with and that's not counting NATO contributions. STUGNA-Ps are still the most numerous ATGMs in Ukrainian inventory and that's not even including the even more numerous recoilless rifles they're throwing into the fight. They're screaming for F-16s for crying out loud, not exactly the most desperate to have piece of kit to reverse battlefield fortunes. Given the two years for this possible but not predestined GOP victory, Ukrainian war industries could only continue to meet its own demands.
What they will need in the event of a Republican victory is schooling and that, the Canadians, British, Germans, and Dutch could more than provide.Chimo

You forgot to mention the Aussies. There's nothing about fighting large flightless and brainless birds, sorry Russian's we don't know. Although I grant you jungles are pretty scarce on the ground in Ukraine so our expertise there might not be so useful.Last edited by Monash; 03 Mar 23,, 04:41.If you are emotionally invested in 'believing' something is true you have lost the ability to tell if it is true.

$400 Million in Additional Assistance for Ukraine
Nov. 23, 2022 |
Today, the Department of Defense (DoD) announces the authorization of a Presidential Drawdown of security assistance valued at up to $400 million to meet Ukraine's critical security and defense needs. This authorization is the Biden Administration's twenty-sixth drawdown of equipment from DoD inventories for Ukraine since August 2021.
Capabilities in this package include:
• Additional munitions for National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile Systems (NASAMS);
• 150 heavy machine guns with thermal imagery sights to counter Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS);
• Additional ammunition for High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS);
• 200 precision-guided 155mm artillery rounds;
• 10,000 120mm mortar rounds;
• High-speed Anti-radiation missiles (HARMs);
• 150 High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicles (HMMWVs);
• Over 100 light tactical vehicles;
• Over 20,000,000 rounds of small arms ammunition;
• Over 200 generators;
• Spare parts for 105mm Howitzers and other equipment.
With Russia's unrelenting and brutal missile and UAS attacks on Ukrainian critical energy infrastructure, additional air defense capabilities remain an urgent priority. The additional munitions for NASAMS and heavy machine guns will help Ukraine counter these urgent threats.
In total, the United States has committed more than $19.7 billion in security assistance to Ukraine since the beginning of the Biden Administration. Since 2014, the United States has committed more than $21.8 billion in security assistance to Ukraine and more than $19 billion since the beginning of Russia's unprovoked and brutal invasion on February 24.
To meet Ukraine's evolving battlefield requirements, the United States will continue to work with its Allies and partners to provide Ukraine with key capabilities.

He'd be shocked alright. But if he didn't have his glasses on then he'd probably just ask why is his ex was bothering him after all this time.Last edited by Monash; 04 Mar 23,, 01:44.If you are emotionally invested in 'believing' something is true you have lost the ability to tell if it is true.
