Wow, that's very 1939 History of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (Bolsheviks). Good stuff. Not insane at all.:???:

He dusted off his copy of Stalin, he is a man out of time and soon he will be out of options and money. This is not Stalin's soviet union with a massive party in total control, we live in a very information rich environment these days and like all assholes he fears information the most. What would people think if they knew how badly he blundered and fucked them for a generation, it would be all the talk in the media and would destroy him. Zelenskiy on Russian TV would destroy him in his own country in a month of western news. Talk about losing with a home field advantage! Vlad will want Zelenskiy dead, imagine his European victory tour and all, speeches to governments, the medals and honorary doctorates that will be heaped on him after this shit is over. He's a ringer for a Nobel peace prize FFS and his office walls will be something to see! He also has an election next year along with his progressive party.

Changing the Ukrainian constitution so they don't aspire to join NATO can be made into a big thing in the media for Vlad's benefit. Zelenskiy could pull it off too and get it done, since it will make little difference to the future defense of Ukraine and will give them freedom of action. The main thing Ukraine wants is EU membership and a prosperous economy. With a couple of years of preparation plus a good sized army that can be expanded quickly with reservists and former conscripts they should be ok with modern weapons and support. They won't fear the Russians nearly as much as before and will want a strong bargaining position with Vlad, they will need one.

If Vlad's forces bombarding cities can be destroyed by a variety of drones, he won't have the lever of murdering innocent lives, he can use to negotiate with either. Vlad is bad and must be stopped by force, preferably by a humiliating large defeat inside Ukraine that involves many prisoners and the fighter planes sent to try and rescue them out of desperation.

Russian pilots who will soon be forced to fly over Ukraine, will have one hand on the joystick and the other on the ejection handle! When all those AA missiles and systems arrive, it will be pretty hot over Ukraine for Russian pilots and hard on aircraft.

Churchill cosplayed too and nobody minds a wartime leader under bombardment dressed for the occasion when everybody around him is armed to the teeth and there are explosions going off everywhere. All men his age are soldiers and he needs to look like one too, there are snipers, officers look like enlisted men and nobody salutes in battle, it's often first name on the radios.

Here's everything the US is sending to Ukraine's military
The latest tranche — part of the nearly $14 billion Congress appropriated for Ukrainian aid which Biden signed into law a day prior — brings the U.S. government’s total pledge of military assistance for the embattled nation to $1 billion in the past week and $2 billion since Biden took office.

The package includes anti-tank weapons, unmanned drones, small arms and ammunition among other crucial defense equipment.

The White House also said the U.S. is helping the Ukrainians “acquire additional, longer-range systems on which Ukraine’s forces are already trained, as well as additional munitions for those systems,” though it did not detail what those may be.

The administration was likely referring to the S-300 surface-to-air missile system, a Soviet-era defense system possessed by NATO ally Slovakia that could help against Russian airstrikes in Ukraine. Greece and Bulgaria also own the system.

But Ukrainian officials have not gotten everything they want to beat back the Russian incursion.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Wednesday made an impassioned plea to Congress and the nation, asking for a NATO-imposed no-fly zone over Ukraine, or at the very least, fighter jets – specifically MiG-29 aircraft that Poland has said it could transfer over to the country with the U.S. military’s help.

Here’s what the U.S. is doing instead to bolster the Ukrainian military:

The $800 million military assistance package

  • 800 Stinger anti-aircraft systems — a lightweight, reusable launch system used to destroy helicopters or low-flying planes.
  • 2,000 Javelin anti-armor systems – a shoulder-mounted, anti-tank weapon system that can target any vehicle that emits heat and can be operated by one person. Like the Stinger, its launcher is reusable.
  • 1,000 light anti-armor weapons – man-held, vehicle armor-penetrating guns
  • 6,000 AT-4 anti-armor systems – a Swedish-made, man-held, single-shot anti-armor weapon used by American special operations forces.
  • 100 Tactical Unmanned Aerial Systems – Drones known as the Switchblade 300, a system equipped with cameras, guidance systems, and explosives
  • 7,000 small arms including grenade launchers, rifles, pistols, machine guns, and shotguns
  • Over 20 million rounds of small arms ammunition, artillery and mortar
  • 25,000 sets of body armor and 25,000 helmets
The previous $1.2 billion

  • More than 600 Stingers
  • About 2,600 Javelins
  • Five Mi-17 helicopters - Soviet-designed Russian military helicopters that Ukrainian pilots are trained on
  • Three patrol boats
  • Four counter-artillery and counter-unmanned aerial system tracking radars
  • Four counter-mortar radar systems
  • 600 small arms including grenade launchers, machine guns and shotguns
  • Nearly 40 million rounds of small arms ammunition and more than 1 million grenade, mortar, and artillery rounds
  • 70 High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicles and other vehicles
  • Secure communications, electronic warfare detection systems, body armor, helmets, and other tactical gear
  • Military medical equipment for treatment and combat evacuation
  • Explosive ordnance disposal and demining equipment
  • Satellite imagery and analysis equipment
