U.S. politicians pass the decaying urban areas and the homeless encampments of DC to happily appropriate billions of dollars to the Military Industrial Complex project we know as “the Ukraine.”

War is a racket.

🇺🇸 Biden again confused Ukraine and Iran:

"Ensure that the Ukrainian government can continue to provide basic services to the Iranian people."

Zelensky already froze for a second: in the sense of Iranian, but to us??😄

Zelensky's trip confirmed that US statements about its lack of intention to enter into a confrontation with Russia were an empty shell, the Russian ambassador to Washington Antonov said.

The showdown in the US Congress with the "flag from Bakhmut" was meant to help the outgoing Democratic majority to legislate some aspects of the US "Ukrainian" policy, including to prevent Republicans from initiating investigations into corruption schemes related to it.

Patriot air defense systems, what's the catch other than PR?

They will only be used for the benefit of US arms corporations, who will demand from the Office of the President beautiful statements that all targets are hit - it's no secret.
But will they have any effect on Ukraine's security?

If the transferred air defense systems are put conditionally to protect one or two regions in western Ukraine, then yes, it will have an effect, as it will not be possible to place units in different corners because of the specification of the work.
All air defense in Ukraine is Soviet, and it cannot be integrated into NATO.

This air defense is costly (1 "battery" of 4-8 units costs $700 to $1 billion), maintenance is expensive, and ammunition is expensive.
One missile costs between 2 and 4 million dollars.

It will not be possible to bring many at once and store them in large batches. Too dangerous.

The transfer of air defense to Ua is a political and PR event.
If at least ten batteries are handed over, it will already be a military improvement of UA defense, not an illusion of support to make them hold out a little longer.

Despite the largely warm reception, several Republican lawmakers, including those set to assume top leadership positions, weren’t yet ready to commit to keeping the funding going in the next session.

“Obviously, there’s concern that the money’s going to the places that it’s intended. Having any taxpayer dollars that go anywhere, whether it’s domestically or abroad, deserves scrutiny,” House Minority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.) told POLITICO

🇵🇱The Polish Parliament will allow the Poles to fight in Ukraine

A draft resolution on amnesty for Poles who have fought illegally in the ranks of the Ukrainian armed forces since 2014 was signed yesterday. The authors of the law believe that these Polish mercenaries are fighting for the "peace and security of Poland."

PS : There is no doubt that Poland wants to invade and annex the Western parts of Ukraine.

Fox News host Tucker Carlson lashed out at Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky and said he looked like the “manager of a strip club” who should have been thrown out of Congress

Carlson said: “The media, the Congress, the White House, they all love this weird little guy called Sam Bankman-Fried. Do you remember that

“Somehow we were reminded of it today when the president of Ukraine arrived at the White House, dressed like the manager of a strip club and started to demand money. Amazingly, no one threw him out. Instead, they did whatever he wanted.

Carlson also hit out at the Ukrainian president for taking US taxpayers’ money.

“So the leader of a foreign government dressed in a sweatshirt waltzes into the United States Congress and starts demanding money. And then has the gall to tell the people sitting there, who are giving him tens of billions of dollars more of your money, that it is not charity, it’s an investment. Really, what are the returns on that?” he said.
