Don’t get overexcited yet …

USA approved a 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝘀𝗮𝗹𝗲 of 3,350 ERAM missiles to Ukraine. But don’t get overexcited — Congress still needs to review it.
If they don’t block it within the set period (15–30 days), the deal can move forward.
Approving such long-range missiles gives Washington leverage — the sale can be slowed, limited, or accelerated depending on 🇷🇺 behavior.
It’s both a step in military aid and a tool of 𝗽𝗼𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲.
📌 Total value — $825 million, funded by Denmark, the Netherlands, Norway, and U.S. Foreign Military Financing.
📌 ERAMs reach 450–460 km, fly at 700 km/h, and resist electronic warfare.
📌 They can be launched from F-16s, MiG-29s, or Su-27s against radars, air defenses, and naval targets.

The State Department has made a determination approving a possible Foreign Military Sale to the Government of Ukraine of Air Delivered Munitions and related equipment for an estimated cost of $825 million.

Just look at Leavitt’s face as she talks about the attack on Kyiv.
Trump was not happy, she says — but not surprised. Ukraine, she adds, knocked out 20% of 🇷🇺 refining capacity in August.
And then she draws the line: Ukraine hitting oil refineries 𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗮𝗹𝘀 russia killing four children in their sleep.
Her bottom line? Maybe both sides don’t want the war to end — as if victim and aggressor carry the same blame.

Disgusting and shameful. Watching a young person confidently lying with a straight smiling face makes one vomiting.
I apologize to Ukrainians for these ugly performances.
Besides, they are not newsworthy – any AI would likely do a much better job holding WH press briefings and answering questions. Just ignore this circus.

This young lady, for lack of a better name, goes through life as a sanctimonious person, with her cross always visible on her chest, when in fact she is anything but.

Trump is not surprised as he has effectively green-lighted these attacks by failing to enforce any one of his dozens of threats since taking office last January.
John Lawson
Superficially attractive, but the veneer hides the ugly complicity of Trump’s complicity with Putin’s evil genocide and terror against the Ukrainian people.
Tony Vicente
What a vile mouthpiece, for a morally reprehensible regime.

“Both sides”? Fuck you. The ONLY thing Ukraine should be doing is pursuing Russian defeat. There is only ONE aggressor, ONE wrong doer, ONE party committing genocide. You don’t ask the innocent victim to stop defending itself for “peace”. This is surrender.
Ukraine should be doing nothing other than pursuing Russian defeat as the path to peace, not making concessions, which we all know will not stop the war, but – at absolutely best – provide a pause in Russian attacks until Moscow is ready to strike again with greater force.

The Atlantic wrote about EU–U.S. confusion after Trump’s talks with Putin. But there was another key point for me as a Ukrainian: Trump just wants the war over — almost 𝗻𝗼 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗵𝗼𝘄.
He doesn’t care who is right or wrong, who is the victim or the aggressor.
He only wants the war to end quickly to earn political points, no matter the consequences.
This approach 𝗿𝗲𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱𝘀 𝗯𝗿𝘂𝘁𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗰𝗲. It signals that if you are strong enough to invade and hold territory, Washington under Trump might eventually legitimize it.
For Ukraine, this means pressure to give up land, while 🇷🇺 faces 𝗻𝗼 𝗽𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘀𝗵𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁.
And it sets a dangerous example that future wars will be treated the same way.

As of August 2025, 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗮 𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗹𝗲 RCH 155 self-propelled howitzer has been delivered to Ukraine. The original plan foresaw six units arriving in 2025, with another 48 in the following years.
Tests and training prompted KNDS Deutschland to implement several modifications.
According to CEO Kretzel, technical issues remain unresolved, and the system still needs to be integrated into Ukraine’s fire-control network.
❗ This is a stark 𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿: promised aid is not the same as delivered aid.
Deliveries take months — and often years.

In the meantime, Ukraine produces almost 40 units of its homemade Bohdana howitzer every month, and it could be even more with additional funding. I think this is the better model.
The taco regime is already the lowest, most pathetic and even the most criminal in our history, but it never tires to sink even deeper into the stinking, slimy sewer.
