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

It is also possible, however, that the provisions were intended to allow Putin to save face. For example, by forcing Ukraine to repeal statutes that condemned the Soviet past and cast the Ukrainian nationalists who fought the Red Army during World War II as freedom fighters, the Kremlin could argue that it had achieved its stated goal of “denazification,” even though the original meaning of that phrase may well have been the replacement of Zelensky’s government.

In the end, it remains unclear whether these provisions would have been a deal-breaker. The lead Ukrainian negotiator, Arakhamia, later downplayed their importance. As he put it in a November 2023 interview on a Ukrainian television news program, Russia had “hoped until the last moment that they [could] squeeze us to sign such an agreement, that we [would] adopt neutrality. This was the biggest thing for them. They were ready to finish the war if we, like Finland [during the Cold War], adopted neutrality and undertook not to join NATO.”

The interesting part will be comparing those March drafts with the final agreement, however many billions of dollars and thousands of dead later that comes.
Just to see what was 'purchased' for the difference.

It’s a poor district. They don’t care as long as the Libs are owned and the Commie Nazis are being called out.

This. We are upgrading our stocks. The dummies don’t get this.

Fair enough.


I still have connections with the MIC 😊


Anyway, without going into detail I’d say 155mm shells are a primary need and that’s open source.


Air Defense and help with EW (electronic warfare) are priority 1A. The EW part is more critical than folks realize.

The guy I saw said it’s across the board. Yes, urgent needs for 155 shells and air defense missiles, but he mentioned spare parts for Bradley’s that desperately need them after months of action, and every other mechanical item we’ve given.

Kudos to Johnson for bringing this to a vote at political risk to him. Hopefully (although highly doubtful) he can start to break the hold of Putin on the GOP. It's never too late to do the right thing.

Probably a response to for Russia destroying stored grain Ukraine was going to export.

Can posters like @binsfeldcyhawk2 pick up on the hypocrisy here?
Or, are they too flummoxed by all the GOP propaganda?

Stay tuned!!!

It is amazing both how dumb the GOP base has become and how crappy our news media has become… and they are linearly related.

Or, you could reconsider your support of a hypocritical Republican Party.

Trump dictates Republican doctrine.
He can't afford to have any positive news credited to this WH.
Hence, the sudden shift on Ukraine from many GOP House members.

Stefanik is merely another example.

I don’t support the Republican Party.


Not sure how never voting for Donald Trump or the Rep of my district Matt Gaetz constitutes support.


I’m also not a registered Republican.
Am I a Democrat no. Do I have problems with the democrats? Yes.

Built in 1913. Survived a revolution and two World Wars. But not even it could withstand Putin’s Folly.

I do worry a bit Putin will now double down on efforts to get Trump re-elected.
