The forgiving of $4.7 billion was actually quite interesting. Two days ago, Sen Rand Paul (a senator who McCain once accused on the Senate floor, verbatim, of working for the Russians) introduced legislation to block Biden from forgiving these $4.7 billion. He got the needed signatures for it...

I don't think you read the post above even though you responded to it, as it answers this very point. All cabinet positions have to go before the Senate for a hearing, followed by a vote. A majority is required before any cabinet-level position is approved. In the Senate Republicans are 53 to...

It's a mixed bag. Here's what we know: Neocons: - Secretary of State - Marco Rubio. Supports Ukraine in essence, but wants clearly defined objectives and more action from Europe. Voted against Ukraine aid Supplemental in April 2024. Experienced politician, supported by traditional Republicans...

A response typical of the Russian school of propaganda: - spend minimum amount of time while forcing your opponents to spend maximal time refuting your claims/screenshots - when claims countering yours are presented, simply say "this is not proof" or "I'm asking for statistics" You behave like...

This image does not support your argument, it does the opposite. Kherson is in the South, the one marked 82.3% (in 2003). Yet still, those fleeing choose to go to Ukraine. When the USSR dissolved, with 84% of electorate participating, 90% voted in favor of independence, including majorities in...

A post serving no purpose other than trolling. Another rule broken in the previous post - "The war will continue as long as the UK keeps being a spiteful little bitch of a country." "name calling other... countries [are] strictly forbidden." -...

I see we're back to the morality of the invasion argument, I already explained why it doesn't work here: https://defencehub.live/threads/ukraine-russia-war.3279/page-1417#post-347089

I see we have established and accepted that it wasn't a majority, but that somehow when a minority wants independence the majority should acquiesce. We live in a society of laws and norms, if a minority wants independence it has two choices: 1. move to a new country or 2. convince enough people...

Comparing Russia's invasion of Ukraine to WWII is accurate. In both cases, the defense of "ethnic" Germans/Russians was used as pretext for grabbing land. "Ukraine bombing and killing thousands of people" is a Russian propaganda narrative that has little basis in reality, and using it as pretext...

Ukraine's F-16s are mainly used for air defense for now. Russia's meanwhile are primarily used for launching glide bombs and missiles.

Certainly not. Both Russian and Ukrainian planes stay far away from the front due to air defenses.

Hard to say. Here's what we know: In total 79 are currently promised: Denmark - 19 (some already delivered) Netherlands - 24 (some already delivered) Norway - 6 Belgium - 30 - Denmark promised to send a second batch by the end of 2024 - Netherlands promised to deliver the remainder of the...

Every red line was already crossed when Ukraine invaded Russia proper in Kursk. Yet nuclear weapons were not used.
