This might be a little tougher than Putin thought...



"#Ukraine conquers a section of road on the left bank of region #Cherson and has partial success west of #Werbove - #ISW #UkraineRussiaWar Ukraine landed near Pidstepove (20 km east of Kherson and 3 km from Dnipro) and have a Section of the road connecting the villages of Poima, Kozachi Tabori and Krynky in the region #Cherson was taken over. It is noted that the Armed Forces of Ukraine have moved reserves to the islands in the Dnipro Delta and are trying to to break through to the villages of Poima and Pishchanivka in order to continue to ferry small groups of personnel across the Dnipro by boat at various points. The General Staff did not confirm this information, but recalled that the Ukrainian Armed Forces continue to carry out counterattacks in the Kherson region."
 
Interesting side story: A former diplomat and foreign policy expert named Richard Haass came into our store earlier this week. We got talking about many things but when he mentioned he was an expert in N Korea, we started talking about the shells they were giving to Russia and how desperate Russia must be to take them as “I doubt one in two actually work’, he said.

Anyway, he was an interesting guy to have a brief 20 minute conversation with.
I'm an idiot. It wasn't Richard Haass it was Evans Revere who is a North Korea expert. He came into the store again and chatted for 45 minutes or so.

This guy.

Criticized the government for supporting #Ukraine and called for the accountability of Slovak government members who decided to transfer MiG-29 fighters to Kyiv.
He expressed doubts about Ukraine's NATO membership. Denies holding pro-Russian views, explaining his stance as being in the best interests of Slovakia.
Hungarian Prime Minister Orban was one of the first to congratulate Fico on his election victory, noting that it's "always pleasant to work with a patriot."
Known for tense relations with mainstream media. He once emotionally referred to some journalists as "dirty anti-Slovak prostitutes" and often refused to answer questions at press conferences.
Despite undergoing heart surgery in 2016, he maintains excellent physical fitness at the age of 59, regularly swimming in open waters, running, and rollerblading.
Fico keeps his family in the background; his wife Svetlana and their only son Michal rarely appear in public and are involved in business.
 
" Morning shots of the arrival near the village. Bilorechenskyi, Luhansk region. The orcs wrote that a gas line had exploded, but there was an arrival, and exactly where it needed to be."

FWIW

"The Armed Forces advanced west of Nesteryanka in the direction of Melitopol."



"The Armed Forces advanced significantly to the east of the railway line near Andriivka, pushing the artillery out of the trench systems. Osint analysts report that the Rashists are concerned about this advance, which turned out to be greater than previously reported."

 
McCarthy couldn't get Ukraine aid passed.

So, you were good with that, then.....?
He put it in the CR that shot down the week before he got tossed.

Your boy Matt Gaetz cited Ukraine aid as his reason to make the motion to vacate.

This new guy most likely won’t make the same mistake.

McCarthy had a B- grade on Ukraine. This guy gets an F.


On this single issue I’d take Kevin over this putz

Again: regardless of what McCarthy SAID, he was UNABLE to deliver on it.

Because a MAGA minority blocked it. JUST LIKE YOU WERE TOLD WAS GOING TO HAPPEN.

Several hundred pages ago
Ok Joe. I think it would have gone through on a separate vote but that’s speculation since he got tossed.
 
You "thought" that the GOP would continue to support Ukraine.
But it looks like you were wrong on both counts, yet still defend the GOP and will vote for them in 2024 anyway.
Ukraine is still being supported last I checked. I think support had a better chance of continuing with Kevin than this guy.

Hopefully an aid package will make it through the House but it’ll be much less than the 60B Joe wants. Probably substantially less…hopefully the R’s in the house that support Ukraine made it contingent on their support for Johnson.

We’ll see.
 
Apparently, you haven't paid attention to the GOP House members, then.
Ukraine is still receiving us aid from previous appropriations. JFC.

Last Ukraine vote in the house was 120y-90n amongst R’s so there’s still enough support to get something through. Depends on what Johnson does…

No; there is not.

Not when the majority will not bring that bill to the floor.
With a speaker who is fully complicit.

McCarthy could not even work around that.

"GETTING SEIZED ARMS TO UKRAINE: Members of the European Parliament will press EU countries to send seized military hardware to Kyiv, according to research published today by Dutch TV program RTL Nieuws and shared with POLITICO.


MEPs want to find a practical use for 146 armored vehicles confiscated last year in two operations by the EU's IRINI naval mission within efforts to enforce a U.N. arms embargo on Libya.


Who’s in? Dutch liberal lawmaker Bart Groothuis is leading the effort and has asked MEPs to sign a letter, seen by Morning Defense, by the end of business on Thursday. “We call upon you to transfer the seized vehicles of the IRINI operation, and similar military equipment or ammunition from this or other EU operations, to Ukraine,” the letter reads. Signatories include France's Nathalie Loiseau — chair of the Parliament's defense subcommittee — and Belgian MEP Guy Verhofstadt, both from the Renew Europe group."
