Well then, when Russia brings the hammer down DON'T say you were not warned !

[@rkg3902]

Waste of american tax payers money

[@normanmadden]

Bigger waste of America's enemies money; Russia may not be able to pay you much longer.

[@Kavala76]

1. Ukraine using US weapons within Russia would have minimal impact and not change the outcome of this conflict. 2. Ukraine using US weapons within Russia would invite retaliation. I hope Ukraine is prepared for it.

[@06JOHNNYBGOOD]

They wont know what;s hit them !

[@davids5126]

It will also benefit the Kremlin's propaganda about a NATO-US war against Russia and allow Putin to announce new mobilizations. The biggest victim, besides the killed Russian and Ukrainian soldiers, will eventually be Ukraine, which will probably lose more territory. They should rather look for a diplomatic solution and freeze the conflict.

2: What they gonna do? Start the war? 🫠

[@matthewtilley7175]

Bro we need out. This is more of a combat test on doctrine and equipment instead of a genuine diplomatic sotuation.

[@rettro6578]

And USA is failing.

Joey has us involved in this war now for over 2 years. And still no end in sight.

[@atilhun348]

There is an end in sight, and its Russia winning.

Another 20 years of their democracy at work

@@axidhaus "democracy" goes all the way to ancient greek US isn't the first nor teh last claim to have "democracy", people should ask themselves if they really got "democracy" or just a word to make them feel good, even hitler could make the crowds cheer

Imagine what an actual war with Russia would look like. When it’s Americans dying in Europe again. That’s what will happen if Russia wins. Why would they stop at Ukraine when putins made it clear he wants to rebuild the old Soviet Union. Ukraine is one of the tougher countries to capture, the baltics would fall in days without NATO. Russia will also have Ukrainian resources and soldiers, they fought 2 wars with Chechnya and they have given 10,000 of troops to Russia, while kadyrov is declaring a jihad. This war is here wether you want it to or not. If Obama did better in 2014 this could have been avoided. Let’s not make the same mistake, especially since sending weapons strengthens our military.

[@carly2981]

We must know which kind of weapon is the USA sending to Ukraine

[@axidhaus]

Mostly crack it’s a hell of a weapon. The US has been using it here against its terrorist factions for years.

[@soton5teve]

They can do with it, what they wish

[@vitorlopes2064]

How would US respond if russian missiles were hitting its territory???

Congress should weigh in and require that Pentagon allow it.

Congress is having hearings and putting Pressure on Biden 👍

[@danaday7266]

Stop involving the US in the Ukraine/Russia war and let Ukraine fight it's own battles . The people (US and Nato) who want this brutal war to continue have cost many people their lives. Ukraine should have had peace talks with Russia a long time ago. There's something very shady about this war

[@cguilbert69]

What about Russia stop this senseless invasion and go home ?! that would resolve all the problem.

[@tokajileo5928]

there was a peace agreement on april 2022 ,Zelensky and Putin both signed it. Then Boris Johnson traveledto Kyiev and told Zelensky to continue the war - it is western interest to weaken Russia without weetern soldiers dying. well, it did not work.

[@benjaminnash9233]

Wouldnt this drag america in a war we dont want to be in??

[@ericscott9029]

No, Ukraine has struck Russia dozens of times and Russia didn't do anything against us.

[@Mai_anus]

It only will drag the US if the US is the one who is involved in it.

[@lw1zfog]

‘don’t want to be in’ ??!?!!? 😂 you should speak with Vicky Nuland

[@user-lm4iv8gc9s]

We better we should have gave them the long range missles that they asked for in the beginning
