Ukraine President Petro Poroshenko “Please understand me correctly. Blankets, night-vision goggles are also important. But one cannot win the war with blankets.” He added: “Even more, we cannot keep the peace with a blanket.”
The problem with our liberal friends is not that they are ignorant, it's that they know so much that isn't true

"UAVs, counter-mortar radars, night vision devices and medical supplies"
No weapons. Big fucking deal.

Always a bad idea to get your talking points from Trump.
"By March 2015, the US had committed more than $120 million in security assistance for Ukraine and had pledged an additional $75 million worth of equipment including UAVs, counter-mortar radars, night vision devices and medical supplies, according to the Pentagon’s Defense Security Cooperation Agency. That assistance also included some 230 armored Humvee vehicles."

@DTH, from what I've read, Biden wants direct sanctions on oil, but the Europeans are blocking it since they're so dependent: https://time com/6151493/russia-oil-gas-embargo-sanctions-ukraine/ Germany gets 50% of its gas from Russia. Hungary, close to 100%. The USA? Not very much... Just curious where you are getting your information. Seems to be not based on facts, and definitely has a bias against Democrats. Very suspicious..
From various news sources:
"There is a glaring carve-out in President Joe Biden's sanctions against Russia: Oil and natural gas from that country will continue to flow freely to the rest of the world and money will keep flowing into Russia.
Following Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Biden defended his decision to preserve access to Russian energy in order “to limit the pain the American people are feeling at the gas pump.” But some academics, lawmakers and other analysts say that excluding an industry at the heart of the Russian economy essentially limits the sanctions and could embolden Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Energy exports are the whole game,” said Columbia University historian Adam Tooze, an expert on finance and European politics. Politicians in the United States and Europe chose to “carve out the one sector that might truly be decisive. I don't think Russia is blind to what is going on and it must indicate to them that the West does not really have the stomach for a painful fight over Ukraine.”

How much oil does the U.S. get from Russia?
According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), Russia contributed the following number of barrels of crude oil and petroleum products to the U.S. over the course of 2021:
January: 20.104 million
February: 12.691 million
March: 22.938 million
April: 20.641 million
May: 26.171 million
June: 25.427 million
July: 23.595 million
August: 24.637 million
September: 18.887 million
October: 19.679 million
November: 17.855 million
December: Not reported at the time of publication
Those figures represent just over 7 percent of the US Imports, Canada and Mexico are the two largest suppliers although in May of 2021 Russian imports of petroleum products exceeded Mexico....... I would think your USA, not very much statement is inaccurate.

Obama sent blankets.
Anyone pushing the false narrative of Trump being easy on Russia, or somehow colluding is mentally ill, plain stupid, or a propagandist.

Ahh . . .
I go away for a few days . . .
I noticed the ankle biter didn't mention anything about the Trump NY criminal charges. Yeah, two attorneys, who were investigating, were private attorneys who were hired to take on the Trump matter. They were hired by Cyrus Vance. They were on the job for one year. Hmm . . .
A NEW DA takes over from Vance. I wonder what he does . . .
Wait for it . . .
He probably wanted to bring in HIS people. Yes, that is very typical when a new head honcho comes into any position, out with the old, in with the known.
What does that mean?
Those two resigned and were replaced by Susan Hoffinger. And wait for it . . . she was hired out of private practice.
That case's investigation is NOT dead. It is just under different leadership.

Why haven’t they put sanctions on the export of Russian oil? Oh wait, that would raise oil prices in the states and possibly a shortage of oil. That would make Biden look bad and we can’t have that. So yeah, Ukraine Biden’s got you back, just not at his expense. So he will make sure those sanctions kick in after your county is overtaken.

Sounds dumb because it is so simple . But what do we owe Russia or Ukraine ? We got essentially 9000 US citizens held in Afghanistan . We no longer talk about them . Russia sells the US 5 million of bbl of oil every day . Do the math . These are petro dollars . This is madness.
