@Matthew06638276@MustacheBob2 Should’ve never tried when they didn’t stand a chance. Grant knew his advantages and pressed them, wether he wins or losses a battle is irrelevant if the overall strategy is being worked towards and achieved.
@JLJWilliamsx@cameron19460429 Major industrial zone which the Russians have flattened in many areas. Made farmlands unusable for years. Used the population for the war machine. Crippled the Russian economy while setting it on a downward spiral. And Sevastopol was evacuated lol.
@woodtick009@juliandorey So you admit to not getting paid so you’re either 15 or just a complete idiot incapable of basic research, care letting me know which one you are?
@saltsbag@GerryInColorado@LeadingReport The Europeans are paying for the majority of the war, and providing the majority of the vehicles for it, basic research isn’t so hard
@burh4an_@AmbBridgetBrink Europe has significantly increased defense spending since 2014, almost every single member is meeting 2% GDP some even over that and around 3% some countries say what they’ll do like France, other countries like the Baltics carry their weight but you ignore that.
@burh4an_@AmbBridgetBrink It’s almost like Russia wouldn’t have struck the protective shield if the U.S. was strong against Russia, but instead we aren’t, and instead Europe is leading leaving the U.S. in the dust.
@woodtick009@juliandorey I’m the idiot? You’re talking about imaginary casualties while spreading literal Russian propaganda lmao. Are you 15 years old a useful idiot, or a person paid to regurgitate Russian lunacy and make believe?
@burh4an_@AmbBridgetBrink U.S. focus is hardly shifting towards China right now when we’re attacking Venezuela and Iran using large portions of our stockpiles of weapons needed for the pacific while also transferring equipment out of the region.
@burh4an_@AmbBridgetBrink European support is non-existent what? Europe has donated hundreds of tanks, IFVs, APCs, SPGs, SPHs, helicopters, patrol boats, planes from the MiG-29 to the F-16, on top of manufacturing drones and other equipment for Ukraine, ontop of large loans. You cannot be serious.
@TexasPirate88@undercover_n_WA@AmbBridgetBrink That’s a childish example.
A national election which requires tens of millions of votes across numerous countries across half the world which decides the fate of their country during a war is not equal to a song contest.
@burh4an_@AmbBridgetBrink Sure Europe has acted weakly and they’ve needed to step up, and they’re passing more sanctions packages, supplying another $106B loan, making loads of drones for Ukraine, and much more. The most the U.S. has really done is the PURL initiative.
@burh4an_@AmbBridgetBrink America hasn’t really acted, we’ve given waivers for Russian oil, we gave Putin an on ramp to normalize relations with the world, we’ve sent delegations to Russia to kiss Putin’s ass but we won’t even send them to Ukraine to have serious conversations about peace.
@burh4an_@AmbBridgetBrink Europe has been helping fund Russia and they don’t get a free pass but we’re talking about Trump and the US. Putin has not been engaging in good faith peace negotiations and as such any further attempts should be halted until he is serious about peace, make him feel pain.
@TexasPirate88@undercover_n_WA@AmbBridgetBrink As soon as the constitution of Ukraine allows for elections, but that means the war must end.
Zelensky did propose for I believe a 20-30 day ceasefire for Ukraine to hold elections however this was denied/never considered by Russia.
