@Science Bear Turkey leans East to russian then back to the West as the winds change. It is very hard to read their government's whims at any one point in time. It looks to me like they are behind Ukraine but want more dealings with Blyatistan & putin. Maybe leave the West for greener pastures at some later date.

@janko6608 Orc troll/bots do have a tendency to change subjects when they are at a loss on the subject being discussed. I personally would want a Prime Minister that is human. If she parties . . . You go girl!!

'Time is of the essence' A phrase that is just now dawning on Ukraine's partner nations. I don't mean to come down too hard on them. The US did do early training for the F-16 and some others have done other systems. But DAMN!! It seems like they just eek out enough to keep them in stalemate. Foot dragging at every turn except for Poland & the Baltics. Now it seems like the others are just now catching on to the idea!! How hard would it have been to bring in some groups just in case they are sent some goodies from the West much earlier?

@tasreasfatemsa8266 So . . . Your innate common sense tells you this, does it? LOL!! Too funny! (Presses your clip-on clown nose to see if it really squeaks when squeezed)

There are certain type of battle that tanks are critical. Plowing into an enemies fortifications for example. Exactly what they plan to do in the near future. They have worked out some novel approaches to it in case the tanks weren't forthcoming like last month. One system they are about to learn about is the Bradley IFV. In the last major tank battle years ago it wasn't all the Western tank destroying the opposition. It was the Bradley & it can remove entrenched troops as well. It is a beast & completely different from the russian counterparts.

@HumanBeingsRThinkingBeings For a Thinking Being, you certainly miss a lot of the salient details that change the whole argument . . . Orc troll/bot parading around like a Thinking Being equals? Empty-headed arguments presented as comparisons, maybe? LOL!!

It is likely half the 31 are sitting ready for shipping to Eygpt. Which has ordered the exact same thing. Maybe the last will be delivered in August but it is quite possible they will get some sooner. And the Bradley they are getting is a very efficient 'tank killer'. Much more safe & more firepower than the BMP's they are used to. 😁

@chrisczarnik3439 No one is scared of putin. But they are having back channel talks with russia about nuclear arms reduction & I think they are scared of upsetting those talks. This has been reported by several publications but not much is known other than that.

@chrisczarnik3439 Even though these are significant reductions, I think there is too much 'diplomacy' going on. It shouldn't involve helping Ukraine but it does of course.

@SubvertTheState They tried peace talks with russia in 1994 & 2014. If anything, negotiating with russia just leads to more brutal attacks later on. Time for a different way to stop Blyatistan's aggression!

@bartandaelus359 The Bradley has faced T-72s before in large number & did a very good account. Actually knocked more out that the main battle tanks. And please don't bring up 'Ukraine isn't Iraq' argument. The numbers could easily be applied.

@notarmchairhistorian7779 Yup . . . That would be the difference between the poorest nation in Europe having older tank that are still better than older tanks of a supposed super power. LOL!! That is what makes Blyatistan a laughing stock around the world. The 2nd (worst) army of the world. Too funny!
