IF what he writes is accurate, things do indeed look bleak.

 

Hopefully, he's wrong.

 

J.D. Vance: The Math on Ukraine Doesn’t Add Up

 

Ukraine’s challenge is not the G.O.P.; it’s math. Ukraine needs more soldiers than it can field, even with draconian conscription policies. And it needs more matériel than the United States can provide. This reality must inform any future Ukraine policy, from further congressional aid to the diplomatic course set by the president.

He needs to go watch 300. Its about tactics. They have an advantage in organizational deployment and overall moral when they are properly equipped. I would hate to see this conflict expand to where we are deploying troops from other countries, but I don't think we are far from that. If we don't give them what they need now, we are leaving the door open for China to go after Taiwan as soon as the US starts committing real manpower to the Ukraine. They will try and take advantage of the distraction to the US and it will pull the world into a whole new world war.

This is what he wants to use as an excuse when asked why he didn’t provide enough help…

What do you think about Vance's assertions that the US (and Europe) cannot supply the necessary weapons that Ukraine needs and that Ukraine is seriously outmanned by Russia?

 

Also, he says Ukraine should forgo any offensive tactics and hunker down and defend the territory they still control while awaiting negotiations.  Your opinion?

This is recent,.  Just an FYI on another front :


 

BREAKING:  The Pentagon confirms that Israel is officially under attack by Iran. Let’s pray this doesn’t escalate to World War III. 

- Iran has just launched 50 drones towards Israel

- US and allied fighter jets and air defenses will attempt to neutralize Iranian drones before they reach Israel it appears. 

- Drone activity has been sighted over Iraq. 

- Israeli military and air defenses have been put on high alert

This would be the first direct attack by Iran on Israel. 

Pray for the world.

He’s reading from Kremlin talking points, just like his puppet masters told him to.

Seems the tentacles of RuZ are surfacing :

 

 

Iranian opposition leader, Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi condemned the attack on Israel

"For years I have said that the destinies of the peoples of Iran and Israel are intertwined. We share a common dream of peace, which has been taken from us by our common enemy, the Islamic Republic. This regime is an existential threat to both Iran and Israel and will remain so as long as it is in power," Reza Pahlavi stated.

"Ukrainian naval drones have no analogues in the West and can reach almost any point in the Black Sea," SBU spokesperson Artem Dekhtyarenko said.

The drones are invisible to Russian detection systems and are valued at $215.000 a piece. The latest Sea Baby naval drone can carry almost a ton of explosives and has a range of 1000km.
