    I mean the US already sent too much to Ukraine. European members can hardly add much, UK sent bascially all of their SPGs to Ukraine for example. 6 months ago, Ukraine used 15% of US ATACMS stockpile. US six months ago only had 2,000 ATACMS left. Iskander production last year was around 360 (which outpaced use) and Russia has plans to produce 750 this year. US and their European allies are having their stockpiles bled dry and why send more for a country that clearly ain’t going to make it? As far as I can tell, most Russian units aren’t even in Ukraine and I suspect late April is going to be interesting considering I see signs of a possible Re-Invasion of Ukraine but take that with a grain of salt.

        Think of it however you want, someone else here stated that freezing it is just means that all that aid goes into Trump’s pockets instead which is certainly a good argument for unfreezing this aid and sending it into Ukraine anyways even if it won’t achieve much in the end.

        Personally I think it is smarter if Europe keeps their stockpiles in country and prepare for a future war with Russia and the American aid gets sent to NATO allies instead.

    Just say that you last saw it with some Ukrainian chap near the border and now you can’t find it.

      4 years ago…

      ETA: guess I have to remind people that 4 years ago was when January 6th happened…

          It’s fine he meant to gaslight the subject with an incomplete argument anyone can fill their own blanks into. The equivalent of ragebait posts. It’s our duty to not feed the trolls!

            I think they’re saying he was clearly already treasonous four years ago because of Jan 6. That’s me admittedly filling in their vague comment though.

            I’ll make shit up. He was talking about how 4 years ago the president should have been impeached for this same treasonous behavior.

              Ya I see it now. Youll find plenty of rhetoric that 4 years ago was the day they stole the election. It gets confusing, I think he could have been more clear.

    Release it anyway. Most Americans support that. Just say some bullshit like it wasn’t labeled correctly and got sent to a different warehouse and Trump will forget the next time a shiny thing catches his attention.

      We don’t say shit we just do. Tanks suddenly gone missing, someone takes a pic of them in Ukraine. Like a year before the entire “oh no should we send tanks, what if Russia would be mad :<”. That’s why the discussions were “western tanks” because “tanks” was out of the bag like 4 months after the war started.

        My favorite is when they parked “Mig replacement parts” in a border forest. Miraculously, they were found by the Ukrainians and reassembled into complete jets.
