  1. We have been reduced to be stooges to dictators of this world, especially the worst one of all in mafia land. I feel deeply disgusted by Trump and very ashamed to be an American.
    Europe must come out of this with its fists up. It is indeed time for the continent to DO MORE for its security. The first move is to make sure that Ukraine wins this war. This would also be a most powerful step. Anything less will have dire consequences for Europe.

  2. Reading Hegseth’s wiki page reveals that this Fox hack is morally bankrupt.

    “You are an abuser of women — that is the ugly truth and I have no respect for any man that belittles, lies, cheats, sleeps around, and uses women for his own power and ego.
    Penny Hegseth in her email to her son, April 2018.”

    • He’s not only a depraved piece of shit, he’s completely unqualified to be a secretary of defense. This administration is completely bonkers.

  3. Marshall is right that the UK could provide a division. But incorrect about having only 60,000 troops in total.
    Despite the cuts, if you include the Marines (RN) and reserves, we still have around 130,000 combat troops available.
    As for ammo, that’s another matter, which must be urgently addressed.
    A division each from Poland, the UK, France and Germany would be a good start.
    Can we ask our commonwealth friends Canada, Aus and NZ to help out?
    What about the Scandies?
    That would be six divisions.
    Add air support, plus of course Ukraine’s 900,000 strong army and you have a decent deterrent.
    There is a weird contradiction here; Trump and his team are disengaging from Ukraine and Europe, but want Ukrainian minerals?
    I don’t get that.

  4. time to exchange NATo for ETO , European Treaty Organization and help Ukraine win and include Ukraine in it, and use European weapons and ammo.

    Since 1900 russia has been ONLY european enemy and that makes it USA money$ource and now they also want Ukraine rare minerals $500 billion while they gave just 94 billion in weapons and ammo for yesterday’s wars???

    • We’re talking about Trump’s administration. Those goons are not known for their intelligence, including math skills.
