@grandmaj2@mazst You are absolutely wrong. The EU is buying weapons directly from the US for use in Ukraine. These patriot interceptions have been bought and paid for under that program.
This has nothing to do with defense spending of each country.
@MelMattison1 The only time thereโs been even a quasi alliance between Russia and the United States has been: one, United States, Civil War two, The Boxer Rebellion three, World War 1
So thatโs really a handful of yours over the history of the United States but nice try
@LukasSchubertMT Maduroโd. ๐๐๐๐
Ukraine is not Venezuela brother. Whatever helicopter we sent to kidnap him would be shot out of this guy, and one of the most experienced army in the world wouldnโt let American soldiers touch the ground
Nice fantasy though
If I had to wager, Iโd say Ratcliffe is in Moscow to warn about Russian escalation against Europe/NATO. Linked to U.S. intelligence shared with Poles, Balts and Scandinavians, and comes amid a noticeable uptick in suspected GRU sabotage operations and Russian drone activity. See Germany, Bulgaria, Romania, etc. You don't need DCIA for prisoner swaps. Ratcliffe is also the most pro-Ukraine official in the administration, responsible for helping Kyiv with deep strikes. Context here is important: Bill Burns went to Moscow in 2021 to warn Putin against... invading Ukraine.
