Biden rushing aid to Ukraine; everyone bracing for Trump

This catastrophe will be over in a little over than a month.

If that happens, “those people who are with me, my unit, we are not going to retreat," a Ukrainian strike-drone company commander, fighting in Russia's Kursk region with the 47th Brigade, told The Associated Press by phone.

Ukraine will fight back against Russian imperialism, no matter what Trump does.

Rushing trying to make real impact for about a month.

Ukraine should get every bit of bipartisan approved aid.

Great, more warmongering, reckless funding and another perfect example of abandoning supposed principles to line the pockets of the military-industrial complex. While people have struggled with rising inflation and crime, and a crumbling healthcare system for the last few years, BILLIONS are funneled into a foreign conflict that risks nuclear escalation - all so defense contractors can reap record profits. Every dollar sent overseas is a dollar stolen from hardworking people, sacrificed at the altar of endless war. This isn’t leadership; it's selling out lives for blood money. People were promised unity and progress, but all they've gotten is more death, destruction, and betrayal.

Can't wait until these warmongers are OUT of office.

“brace for Trump”.

what do you brace for? Impact.

Which is what is needed now.

Great, more warmongering, reckless funding and another perfect example of abandoning supposed principles to line the pockets of the military-industrial complex

So Putin started this imperialist war against Ukraine so that the US, Russian and North Korean MIC can prosper?

*and a crumbling healthcare system for the last few years, BILLIONS are funneled into a foreign conflict that *risks nuclear escalation

Classic , post hoc, ergo propter hoc fallacy, expect no less from the MAGA/ Putin axis.

As has come to light through recent incidents, health care has been used by megacorps and their conservative allies to block care.

As people are promised 'concepts of plans ' for years and denied universal affordable healthcare by corporate interests and their bought politicians.

Ukraine has little to do with that.

Unless Trump provides security guarantees, he is unlikely to have any impact.

More like brace for a Trump reversal to pro-Ukraine.

Yes! Get the last paycheck in from US taxpayers, the good thing is, this guy will never get the chance to take American hard-earned cash and give it to another nation without them knowing about it.

This isn’t leadership; it's selling out lives for blood money. People were promised unity and progress, but all they've gotten is more death, destruction, and betrayal.

I couldn’t agree more, this is their last swan song and as of 1/20/25 this will be just a memory. Zelenskyy needs to buckle up and keep all that money together, no more of that coming his way.

Turn it on full blast!

Considering the majority of the house believe in sending arms to Ukraine, it may not be the last

So Putin started this imperialist war against Ukraine so that the US, Russian and North Korean MIC can prosper?

You need to get your facts straight: Yes, Putin is an absolute clown but this invasion of Ukraine didn't happen in a vacuum - it was provoked by the reckless geopolitical games of the Biden administration, with Kamala Harris openly baiting Ukraine into NATO at the 2022 Munich Security Conference. NATO expansion was the red line for Russia, and Harris handed Putin the excuse on a silver platter. Now, this endless war is being used as a cash cow for defense contractors on all sides, while innocent Ukrainians and Russians pay the price in blood. The U.S. could have pursued peace and diplomacy, but instead, Harris and her crew chose escalation - fueling the conflict, risking nuclear war, and making the military-industrial complex richer than ever. This isn't imperialism from Moscow alone; it's imperialism through Democrat-backed military industrial warmongering and greed.

The Verkhovna Rada may meet as early as next week. The main bill is to reduce the mobilization age to 21 years and increase payments to participants in the fighting to compensate for moral. In addition, preparations are underway on the sidelines of the Rada to repeal the decree banning negotiations with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Moreover, a wide package of reshuffles in the Ukrainian government and high-profile resignations is being prepared so that there will be a lot of fake noise around the wrong decisions.

In Kursk, that includes Russia sending waves of soldiers on motorcycles and golf carts to storm Ukrainian positions, Hummer said.

While trench warfare has certainly made a comeback, it is also a War on Wheels.

The "golf carts" are the UTV DesertCross 1000-3 all-terrain-vehicles (quite popular in the US). These are a versatile, economical, rugged vehicle easily adapted into many roles (you name it: assault, resupply, rotation, casualty evac, patrol/surveillance/artillery spotter/liaison, drone team deployment, point AD). China supplied thousands of them to Russia. Thus, the nickname "Shoigu's golf carts". Make no mistake, in the assault role they are employed in conjunction with other platforms in a combined-arms role; this means everything).

Also become a War on Two-Wheels - Motorcycles - specifically Motocross-style dirt bikes have become a thing on the battlefield. Russian are using them in varied roles, especially for assaults. One significant advantage they possess, amongst others, is the ability to outrun and outmanoeuvre FOV drones. This has led to coordinated assaults, in conjunction with other vehicles of all shapes and sizes bearing cope cages, improvised armour, "turtle tanks" etc, giving the overall resemblance of a certain infamous post-apocalyptic dystopian action movie franchise (will let you guess which one). Russians have units being trained in Donbass specifically for these types of storming assaults and don't be surprised after this conflict wraps up for Russia to be excelling in international Motocross events.

Considering the majority of the house believe in sending arms to Ukraine, it may not be the last

Limited arms and a blank check are two entirely different things.

Classic , post hoc, ergo propter hoc fallacy, expect no less from the MAGA/ Putin axis. 

As has come to light through recent incidents, health care has been used by megacorps and their conservative allies to block care. 

As people are promised 'concepts of plans ' for years and denied universal affordable healthcare by corporate interests and their bought politicians. 

Sounds like classic deflection when someone has no counterargument to facts. Allow me: the MAGA/Putin axis is the lazy boogeyman for every critique of establishment corruption. Meanwhile, Biden's blank check to Ukraine funnels billions into the military-industrial complex, robbing resources that could have funded the so-called "universal healthcare" you claim to champion. 

Or are you actually pretending Ukraine is a moral crusade when it's just another racket for defense contractors and elites who couldn't give a stuff about affordable healthcare or the average citizen?

But anyway, being against wars of any kind should be at the top of the peace, love'n' rainbows Uber Liberal agenda, no? So instead of agreeing to disagree, let's agree that you agree with me.

When officers of recruiting offices catch potential recruits on the streets of Ukrainian cities, beating them and sometimes even killing them - this is savagery! But imagine these same men, well armed and equipped with Western ammunition, will be chasing, in fact, children in minivans (Blinken demanded 18-year-olds), then what can you call this hunt??? In front of mothers, their children will be stuffed into humvees and taken to a meat grinder...

Biden rushing aid to Ukraine

How long is this disgusting warmongering gonna continue?

41 more days.

The age of conscription in Russia is 18-30 years.

Ok so you say both sides are doing it.

but please explain how only one country of the two is the epitome of evil for doing this.

This catastrophe will be over in a little over than a month.

The catastrophe hasn't started yet, it will if there is a ceasefire on Trumps terms. Russia getting treated as if they the invaders did nothing wrong is a domino effect. They show their appreciation to North Korea by giving them weapons, troops and fighter jets, North Korea goes crazy across Asia, Trump says "not my problem" and so on

Like another participant has said in a different post:

Israel invading a country in the name of protecting security interests from perceived threats on its border = fine, normal, above board, nothing-to-see-here.

Russia invading a country in the name of protecting security interests from perceived threats on its border = wrong, evil, worst thing ever.

Those are the double standards of the American diplomacy, and the worst part is that they are the main providers of weapons on both battle fields. Sheer hypocrisy from this US administration of warmongers

Ukraine policy not popular with American voters, they stopped polling in the early spring when approval sank below 35%. Certainly, far lower now.

Voters make this war's connection to $ loss in purchasing power, inflation and higher cost of living, plus US Govt. more desperate to collect taxes and upward pressure on interest rates. For What? Nada.

Let's settle their border dispute, get a new border established and secured, as proxy wars with nuclear powers = Russian "Roulette" = INSANE

Only unelected Biden globalists wish this war to continue, everyone else understand there's ZERO benefit, TONS of RISK = Direct Involvement/WW III

Besides, Ukraine Army has no manpower, and you can't reclaim territory with drones. Why they are losing territory - EVERY Day THIS Year!!

No young person in Ukraine believes in this war, they are flooding Europe as UA desertions skyrocket. Logical.

Trump & Vance = ZERO interest in Conflict w/Russia

Trump & Vance = Ukraine has NO strategic value

Trump & Vance = NATO has enough NUKES/Deterrence

Trump&Vance= War Damaging US Readiness & Deterrence

Fos

Russia invading a country in the name of protecting security interests from perceived threats on its border = wrong, evil, worst thing ever.

Putin’s invasion has nothing to do with protecting security interests, that’s a Kremlin lie.

Putin’s invasion is called imperialism.

You seem to hate US imperialism, but are completely OK when Russia does it…

An outgoing president, especially one widely recognized as not fit to stand for re-election, should not be making big foreign policy decisions. This and Syria look like the military-industrial complex is racing to push policy in a certain direction before Trump takes over. Trump is hardly a bastion of democracy himself, but underhand stuff from others shows they are little better than him. Which is probably why they weren't elected.

It is incredible. The majority of Ukrainians want peace negotiations to start, Washington is not done with Ukraine and pressures the Kyiv regime to send its 18 year old kids to the frontlines:

https://news.gallup.com/poll/653495/half-ukrainians-quick-negotiated-end-war.aspx

That is the nature of the US administration, Japan's main ally

The grinding war between Ukraine and its Russian invaders has escalated ahead of Donald Trump's inauguration, with President Joe Biden rushing out billions of dollars more in military aid ..."

Warmongering Biden admin doing their best to escalate the fighting just a couple of weeks after pushing Kyiv to draft more 18 year old Ukrainian boys for this unwinnable war in the name of neocon interests. ( until the last Ukrainian, it is a great deal for the US bringing jobs and not costing US lives the neocon mouthpieces tell us on here.) Even Zelensky himself refused Biden / Blinken demands for lowering the draft age.

News reports yesterday -" Ukraine's President, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, has rejected US calls to lower its military recruitment age to 18 to help increase the number of soldiers fighting against Russia."

Unless Trump provides security guarantees, he is unlikely to have any impact."

He is already having an impact. Trump not even POTUS yet and Zelensky already performed a U-turn and started talking about ceasefire negotiations with Putin ( which he categorically refused until now ). Good riddance to the warmonger Biden administration. World will be a better place without them in charge. Not long now.

He is complying with his Money masters to spend as much as possible, which will make Ukraine have no way out of debt.

Putin calls it a "security operation" because he is acting under UN Law, precedent established in former Yugoslavia to assist people from war crimes, violations of human rights and/or property rights, genocide, etc.

This Civil War started in 2014, and just like Yugoslavia, Ukraine needs to be partitioned for the benefit of ALL.

Above = WHY Putin has so much global support, including China, India and most of the world's countries.

Turn it on full blast!"

Donald will lower it soon enough. Enough casualties. Majority of Ukrainians want negotiations and peace, not continuing to die for western neocon interests.

More than half of Ukrainians polled by Gallup (52%) agree that: “Ukraine should seek to negotiate an ending to the war as soon as possible”, while only 38% want the country to “continue fighting until it wins the war”. This is a remarkable shift compared to a year ago, when 63% wanted to continue fighting and 27% were in favour of negotiations. https://theconversation.com/ukraine-war-polls-show-most-ukrainians-now-support-a-negotiated-peace-as-russian-advances-continue-244419.

Yes, that is what the military industrial complex and their propagandists would like, we know.

Without security guarantees, there will be no peace.

Indeed, Trump wants Ukraine to survive, not uselessly fight to the last man or boy standing. Logical

Easy to understand NEOCONS and Globalists are upset, but it's their own fault, they threw RFK Jr. under the bus with their rigged/closed primary, turned him into a TRUMPER!

Putin’s invasion has nothing to do with protecting security interests, that’s a Kremlin lie. Putin’s invasion is called imperialism."

Reliable proof to support claims in this Biden D.C./ Brussels invented theory would make it a tad more believable.

This catastrophe will be over in a little over than a month........The catastrophe hasn't started yet, it will if there is a ceasefire on Trumps terms. 

Complete nonsense. Ceasefire and peace is preferred by all except some DC/Brussels warmongers and their propaganda teams.

If that happens, “those people who are with me, my unit, we are not going to retreat," a Ukrainian strike-drone company commander, fighting in Russia's Kursk region with the 47th Brigade, told The Associated Press by phone.

So, war reporting from the frontlines via telephone. That must be accurate. Makes one wonder who they were really talking to.

Secondly, the experts quoted for this article included US-citizen professor O'Brien out of St. Andrew's, who pushes the same "Russia is actually losing" tropes on his Substack.

Then there is George Barras of the ISW (not Burros - they actually misspelt the name of the "expert" for this article).

To recap: we get an alleged phone call to a forward area, an American professor's Substack near Edinburgh, and an ISW guy whom they don't even bother to get the name correct.

And there is zero actual reportage from the main line of contact again. No wonder there is a general lack of clarity about daily developments over there.

Keep in mind it was Biden that censored RFK Jr. on social media, which caused RFK to sue and WIN!

Why the Biden censorship? Covid and Ukraine policy.

Reason policy and $funding is changing in Ukraine and elsewhere, see above, RFK swung election to Trump, millions of extra votes. Naturally it wasn't elderly Biden, but his unelected insiders that over-played their RFK hand.

I disagree, I didn't forget the lack of professionalism Trump had in the election that he lost. That is a part of history that nobody should forget because that sort of thing tends to repeat when forgotten. That being said, his impulse based conman decisions have higher stakes now than it did 8 years ago. Running a country isn't a joke and he already has had a bad streak of trying to put certain people in higher positions of power this time around

I disagree, I didn't forget the lack of professionalism Trump had in the election that he lost.

He learned from that.

That is a part of history that nobody should forget because that sort of thing tends to repeat when forgotten.

You can make that statement about any leader

That being said, his impulse based conman decisions have higher stakes now than it did 8 years ago.

According to whom?

Running a country isn't a joke and he already has had a bad streak of trying to put certain people in higher positions of power this time around.

That he didn’t do it last time and the fact that half the country trusts him to run it again speaks volumes. The Dems put questionable people in office all the time, this is politics.

From the latest news on Ukraine. Pokrovsk (Krasnoarmeysk, you remember how the city will be called after the Russians take it?) is only 3 km away. The Russians crossed the border of the Sumy region and have already occupied 3.5 km. In Zaporozhye, the ways for evacuation are ready, as stated by the mayor of the city.

Proof of Putin’s imperialism? Chechnya, Georgia, Crimea, Ukraine…

"Sleepy Joe" let one Russian dictator off the hook then a wanna-be American dictator. That's his legacy in shreds for starters.

Putin's limited ground operation is no different from Netanyahu's unfolding one right now in Syria.

It's all about security.

Nope. It’s all about imperialism.

A little late, but at least it's being done!

Had President Biden as well as others (BK Scholz, etc.) provided more financial as well as military hardware aid earlier, many lives could've been saved!

With Donald becoming potus (small letters only!) - I have my serious doubts he will support Ukraine.

He'd do what he has done before - sell to the highest bidder!

Ukraine prevails! (more than 1.000 days already facing that 3-day-limited-operation)

Proof of Putin’s imperialism? Chechnya, Georgia, Crimea, Ukraine…"

Fighting islamist radicals in Chechnya and ensuring safety of citizens and national security interests ( to use D.C. favorite definition ) in its backyard does not equal " proof of imperialism" presented.

Islamist radicals? Yeah, nice scapegoat. Russia had a peace treaty with Chechnya. And then invaded.

Ukraine is lost case for very long time.

Facts are that they have ZERO chance to win over Russia.

Even with all of money received,NATO weaponry received and media covered received.

Again-ZERO chance.

This last shout from Bidens administration is just confirming dare situation of Ukraine.

At the end of day,more Ukrainine soldiers will die,more EU and NATO taxpayers money to be wasted.

Than will come TALK DAY and Ukraines position will get much worse as was in Minsk or Istanbul before.

REALITY bites HARD.

Good point. Biden administration has been terrible, no wonder two thirds of Americans think country headed in wrong direction ( NBC news poll ) and handed Trump a clean sweep.

Nope, that is just what Washington / Brussels propaganda tells you.

He did make his thinking on the subject pretty clear before the election.

The Russian forces SW of Pokrovsk pushing NW in a clockwise fashion are now positioned 10 clicks from the Dnipro Oblast border. This is interesting as it will herald a whole new region up for grabs. All flat land too, can't imagine there are a load of fortifications

Kiev junta is money pit for sure.You are right.

That is fact and that is imperialism."

No it isn't. It is still protecting its national security interests, just as the US does. At least Russia sticks to its backyard mostly.

Let's face it. Ukraine has been treated no differently to the Palestinian or the Syrians. Nor should they expect to be (if anything, they've been treated significantly better).

An Israeli security operation in Syria is precisely the same as a Russian security operation in Ukraine - they both have the objective of being a police action ultimately in pursuit of national security objectives, designed to undermine groups of potential adversaries.
