  1.  @frenkihunter7523  See a political psychiatrist. Biden has never led anything in his entire political life. He's a 'go-along guy' -- the last to vote. In fifty-years of politics, at the national level, Biden has never initiated legislation. First off, he's not that bright. The very idea that ANYONE would follow Biden on his own merit/ persuasive power is absurd. He's no Reagan, no Thatcher, no heavyweight. The whole idea is that outsiders will not need bleed -- IF and only IF -- Ukraine is provided sufficient and timely weapons. To this point in time, Kyiv has only received weapons from the West that were just sitting on the shelf/ in warehouses -- most so old that they were scheduled for scrapping. Boy, were they ever easy to give away. The primary reason that German weapons are uniquely slow: Berlin has to re-manufacture them. They've been awaiting the scrapyard. (Gepard) It would be a national humiliation for the outside world to see German weaponry exposed as drastically inferior to that of: Sweden, Britain, France and the USA. As it is, the Gepard is a joke. Designed with 1950's military theories, built in the 1960s, they can barely roll. Yes, they are half-a-century old. Imagine parts availability. Their radars are a joke. Their only utility will be as stationary gun platforms -- well in the rear -- around airbases and critical bridges. Don't count on them stopping anything. Scholz proffered them because they are useless -- inoffensive to Putin, thereby. Macron and Scholz have made EVERY decision based on not hurting Putin's feelings. They are running an image campaign. Period. At least Orban is honest, craven, but honest. The fact that Brussels has been at social war with Budapest for years => here's the result.

  2.  @frenkihunter7523  Putin didn't want ANY conditions on himself. He's a gangster and he's running klepto-land. NATO is, as ever, only open to legit democracies. That's been the hang-up for Ukraine. As a legacy of the USSR, Kyiv has been over-run with kleptocrats since. And check out the Kyiv - Biden connection. Trump was right. Being so well known to be 'on the pad' for Kyiv -- hobbles Mr. 10% -- even within his own administration. (Impeachment, next year, is a certainty. With enough dirt, out Ol' Joe goes. Biden is a 'self-mud' man. Grifter-in-Chief will be his epitaph.) Turkey became a member when it was MUCH better behaved. It would never be admitted today. Erdogan is a corrupt dictator -- same as Putin and Xi. Many have argued that Erdogan is more dangerous than Putin or Xi -- but time will be the judge.
