  1. @realSanti954  they had spent months training with NATO, they received over $270 billion in aid from Western countries and organisations since 2022, with around ~60% delivered up until july 2023 (~70% today). Broken down it looks like for 2022 to 2023 ~$29,580,000,000 Equipment costs ~$15,560,000,000 Munitions costs ~$769,200,000 Small arms costs ~$105,000,000,000 Logistics costs A lot of people don't realise how much logistics costs, people think you can just send equipment and boom there you go, because in reality it's the thing that costs the most. There's fuel costs, maintenance costs, spare parts costs, systems testing costs, combat testing costs, ammunition costs, crew training costs, mechanics/engineer training costs and transportation costs and then you have to pay the crews, mechanics, drivers and engineers for the operations. Logistics is what takes up the biggest chunk, for example the Iraq war estimated to have cost over a trillion dollars yet the actual dollar value of the equipment and Munitions used probably barely made half, it's running, maintaining and operating the equipment that costs money. Up till june 2023 before they launched their counter offensive they had received months of training with NATO equipment, up to ~70,000 soldiers trained to NATO standards, they received nearly 400 NATO air defence systems, hundreds of NATO anti aircraft guns and over 2,000 NATO manpads (including thousands of others) to help them punch a hole in Russia air superiority to get some momentum. They received tens of thousands of NATO ATGMs and nearly 500 NATO standard tanks with 400 ex soviet ones and Thousands of NATO IFVs, APCs, EW systems, radars, counter batteries SPAGs, artillery Guns etc. And dozens of aircraft including attack helicopters and fighter jets along with just over a million shells of artillery and tens of thousands of guided rockets, hundreds of missiles to hundreds of thousands of unguided rockets to hundreds of thousands of mines and hundreds of millions of rounds of ammunition and nearly half a million NATO small arms. Remember a lot of this was top stuff or at minimum frontline use in NATO countries. M1A1SA Abrams, M-55S, Leopard 2A6, Leopard 2A4, Leopard 1A5 DK-1, PT-91, Challenger 2, T-72 Avenger, AMX-10RCR, CV90MK-II, CAESAR, PzH-2000, M109A6, Krab, Zuzana, DANAM1, Archer, HIMARS, M270B1, MARS II, RM-70V, RBS-56B, TOW-2A, Javelin E, Harpoon, Hellfire, RIM-7M, Brimstone, Moruš, FFAR, Hydra 70, AASM Hammer, AGM-88 HARM, Storm Shadow, Stringer E, Stinger C, M777A2, RBS-70MK2, Piorun, Patriot PAC-3, SAMP/T, NASAMS-2, IRIS-T SLM, Crotale NG, Bayraktar TB2, Mi-171Sh, MiG-29AS, Akeron MP, MILAN-3ER, Rosomak, M2A2-ODS-SA Bradley, Stryker, AN/TWQ-1, AN/TPQ-53, AN/MPQ-50, AN/TPQ-49, AN/TPQ-48, AN/TPQ-36, TRML, Ground Master 200, Giraffe 75, AGM-88 HARM, COBRA, SQUIRE, ARTHUR, MAMBA etc. Is all minimum frontline NATO equipment and practically every single one has been destroyed at least once. Their counter offensive was to split the Russian army and capture ~44,000km² out of around ~100,000km² it was to liberate Crimea and prove to the world just how superior Western weapons were. It was a colossal failure, ~46 billion in military supplies, ~100 billion in logistics and financial costs, months of training, access to the best intelligence NATO has, battle plans coordinated with top NATO commanders and in nearly 5 months of fighting it only caught less than ~400km² or around less than 1% of their target. They couldn't even breach the 2/5 defensive line and spent 3 months fighting for a single street village which by the way was taken back by Russia at the start of 2024. All the hype and Ukraine still lost ~678 km² in 2023 overall despite their offensive. For context Russia captured more territory in February to march 2024 alone, it shows how utterly pointless aid is and how even at Ukraines strongest they can't do anything. The funniest thing was all the western think tanks and media groups that said western weapons would be too good for Russia to then saying that it was all old. The cope is real. It's also funny because Ukrainians themselves have criticised NATO training. A big problem with NATO Doctrine is that it solely relies on air supremacy, air supremacy is easy when you are facing a country that uses obsolete SAMs and fighter jets.

  27.  @MarkhasSteelfort  Ukraine post military aid has a stronger army than Turkey. They have more 3rd gen tanks, more 3rd, 4th & 5th gen IFVs, more APCs and more self propelled artillery guns, anti aircraft guns, GMLRS/MLRS, long, short and medium range SAM Launchers, 1st, 3rd and 4th gen manpads and 4th and 5th Gen ATGM systems And even if EU wasn't counted Greece, Czech Republic and Poland all have pretty good land forces

  30.  @altergreenhorn  what are you smoking? France is part of the European Union who would crush Ukraine. Even France on its own would stomp pre military aid Ukraine. Russias SMO failed miserably, they might be winning now but doesn't change the fact that they got wrecked in 2022

  31.  @yarnickgoovaerts  the European Defence Forces or European Union Military already have multiple military operations around the world I'll list a few Operation Artemis European Union army military operations in Congo Operation Concordia EU army operations in former Yugoslavia Operation Sophia was EU navy operation in Lybia I mean they literally set up the EUMAM, the European Union Military Assistance Mission in support of Ukraine which where EU military commanders give training to Ukrainian soldiers. So whilst the European Union isn't like the USSR and has a single controlling Military as it's membes CAN act independent , they absolutely have a formal military structure and agencies and commanders dedicated to its defence, so if a member state was attacked like Sweden or Austria, the EU already has the structures in place to coordinate defence capabilities and if they wanted to attack they have the infrastructure for the army, navy and air force there, to use their combined military.

  32. Trump has little to no power. 1. Even if USA cut off all aid. Around half the military aid is from EU and European states and over 60% of the financial aid comes from EU. Von der Lyywn and most EU leaders have already commited they won't abandon Ukraine People also forget that this whole thing was started by the EU. Maiden was funded by EU, it was the EU that started it by offering to clear debt oj conditions of reduced ties with Moscow and it was the EU that gave over 20 billion dollars to Ukraine vs US ~6 billion from 2014-2021. 2. Russia has stated that since the events this year they will not accept ANYTHING other than the complete surrender of Ukraine. Russia has been open to negotiations since the war started but Ukraine has refused to even negotiate until the 1991 border are returned People who claim trump is pushing for peace are delusional. He fully supports the Israeli war machine, he launched numerous military operations against Iran and Syria along with regular strikes against Iraq, Pakistan, Syria, Libya, Afghanistan. Trump elected changes little. It's a gimmick. "I'll end the war" yeah no. You have no power over Russia, no power of Ukraine and no power over the EU. Same way he said he'd fix immigration yet did absolutely nothing and just blamed others a victimised innocent victims of the failed war on drugs fleeing for a better life. It will be the same as the last 4 years. Clowns in charge blaming the other side for their failures

  36.  @crypticreality8484  phahahahahaha keep smoking the copium, imagine still talking about a win from nearly a year ago 🤣 you're clueless, this is a war of attrition, during the world war at battle of Verdun it lasted nearly a year and the town was a quarter the size of bakmhut. Also kharkiv was mainly held by DPR and LPR troops, which is why it fell and Russia volunterally left Kherson, ever since counter offensive last year, Ukraine has faced L after L, face it, Ukraine is not going to win. You're obviously incredibly biased and are not looking at things objectively.

  37.  @crypticreality8484  phahahahahaha there's literally been multiple attempts in the past 5 days that all failed and the crews didn't survive lmao keep smoking that good old copium 😂 Months of training by supposedly "superior" US and NATO commanders, for what ? "We captured a couple blocks outside bakmhut" 🤣🤣 this just shows how bad and out of date NATO and US tactics are.

  44. Russia advances 10 times further in a week than Ukraine does in two months, and small attack ? That must be good copium you're smoking, didn't know 100,000 men, 900-1300 tanks, 1000+ IFVs and dozens of Ka-52s supported by few squadrons of Su-35s, Su-33s and numerous Artillery and MLRS batteries and S-400 air defence systems and offcourse Lancet Drones and missles, was a sMaLl aTtAck, Russia is preparing for a massive push. They didn't get stopped at all, they broke past the first Ukrainian defensive line and are now, regrouping and re supplying for their next push. Keep coping

That's just nonsense, firstly no it's not possible to seal the border, the majority of drugs are known about, officials let it pass for bribes, secondly mass deportations would solve absolutely nothing as it's not migrants that carry the majority of drugs through and thirdly lmao even the Mexican governments don't know where the leadership, labs and production are and they know the country better than the US ever will and lastly this doesn't work, if you think a few air strikes would Destroy their will to fight then you don't know much about criminal gangs like these and there is literally thousands of cartel members the fact you think it would be possible to do such raids all at once without alerting them is telling
