• President Zelenskyy warned that Ukraine would lose the war if the US didn’t send it more aid.
  • House Republicans have been stalling on a $60 billion aid package for Ukraine.
  • “It is necessary to specifically tell Congress that if Congress does not help Ukraine, Ukraine will lose,” he said.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Sunday that his country “will lose the war” against Russia if Congress does not act to send it more aid, Agence France-Presse reported.

“It is necessary to specifically tell Congress that if Congress does not help Ukraine, Ukraine will lose the war,” he said, per AFP.

For months, House Republicans have stalled on a bill containing $60 billion in aid for Ukraine, stipulating that it should also include increased funding for security at the US southern border.

    Woosh. You seemed to have missed what I said trying to push your own agenda.

    We blew through years of stockpiled ammo in under a year and can’t produce enough to sustain one war.

    The United States use to have a policy of 2.5 wars at a time. We changed it to two I believe and we can’t even handle one.

    And no Russia wouldn’t lose in a couple of weeks. It took a months for us to take Iraq or Afghanistan.

      Yep they are also much more capable than the Russians. Remind me, how many days does the three days to Kyiv war now last? Also the Afghanistan beat the fucking Russians, to there is that.

        That’s naive to think the Iraqi army is more capable than the Russian army.

            Yes. The two are not comparable. Russia has a lot more equipment and people than Iraq. They also have nuclear weapons and a large chemical arsenal. Also the size of Russia is immense. Just getting to Moscow would take weeks and securing all of Russia months.

              hopefully we will never see that but I highly doubt that Russia has a chance against the full force of the NATO.

                I’ve always been shocked the people haven’t kicked out Putin at this point. Invading Ukraine wasn’t a popular decision and it hasn’t went well.

                  Because they have no problem with him, at least the majority.

                  Putin is just a symptom not the cause, this country has degenerated beyond any saving in my opinion and it is that way since decades.
