I saw highlights of US First Lady Dr. Jill Biden visiting Ukraine.
Can they keep her?
Good idea,but Ukraine could not use bioweapon first.

LOL.
So no mention of mass mobilization, no mention of nuke threats to the West, a weak and false but domestically acceptable olive branch to the west when he brought up western WW2 vets, and promises of taking care of the kids of wounded/lost soldiers.
Methinks Putin has bit off more than he can chew and knows it, so he's trying to protect himself from internal rivals and trying to get the international opinion to soften a bit.
Though I expect most surviving WW2 vets would probably prefer to kill Putin than be at that parade.
Yep. Getting cold feet.

Awfully blood thirsty recently is he?
Lindsey Graham's never been married and has no kids which maybe surprising.
He had to take care of his younger sister when his parents died within like a year of each other. He had just joined the military and had to raise her since they were orphaned.
This also leads to the still unfounded rumor that he's one of the gays!

There's also the Gay Prostitutes that have come forward to substantiate those rumors, but that's for another thread.

If by "we" you mean just solely in your mind, yes. Actual U.S. defense industry is saying the otherwise:
“We’ll wrap up production of what we can this year, but I would expect” it will likely be 2023 or 2024 when “we actually see orders come in for the larger replenishments, both on Stinger as well as on Javelin, which has also been very successful in theater.”
Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) said, “I think we’ve lost the luxury of time, here. The closet is bare.” Blumenthal said the Army has handed over to Ukraine “one-third of its supply” of Javelin missiles, and to go from the current production rate of 1,000 a year to the “max amount,” which he did not specify, “would take about a year. And replenishing U.S. stocks of those weapons would require 32 months.” Without President Joe Biden invoking the Defense Production Act, “we will run out of these missiles …These weapons will not magically appear for us, or our allies, or Ukraine.”
Lord said that long gaps or extremely low rates on production of munitions and other defense goods worsens the reconstitution issue. With long breaks in production, test equipment breaks or becomes obsolete, supply chain links become “broken. … We have to reconstitute that.”
The Javelin anti-tank missile, also being provided in large numbers to Ukraine, is still in production, but “right now, we are still five years” from buying all the Javelins needed for the U.S. Army, she said.
Yeah...
And we arnt low on supply at all.
Because you do know that the pace they make it at was in the same way ot has been since we have been making them and they havnt had to produce drastic amounts.
Now they do and they are going to.
The fun part is, we can make Javelins faster then the Russians can make tanks.
We can make AT4s faster then they can make tanks.
These people want the money and best way to get it is to say "we need more money to make more"
But that is the MIC for ya. Ya Vatnik

As I said, in your delusions contained solely within your head, sure. The people in reality with direct knowledge of such things paint a very different picture. Even CSIS admits as much, despite peddling the 40,000 casualties number the Pentagon explicitly rejects:
According to the International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS) The Military Balance, the Russians have 2,800 tanks and 13,000 other armored vehicles (reconnaissance and infantry fighting vehicles) in units with another 10,000 tanks and 8,500 armored vehicles in storage. Open-source intelligence indicates that the Russians have lost about 1,300 armored vehicles. The bottom line is that the Russians are not going to run out of armored vehicles anytime soon.
Might find it useful to stop getting high off your own copium supply lol.

One interesting, yet virtually unseen facet of this war is that since 2014 Ukraine was reliant (more than before that is) on IMF loans to function and since the war started it got much worse. Not to mention that while Europe is sending weapons to Ukraine for free, USA is sending weapons on loan, further deepening the debt hole the Ukraine is. And with all talk of helping Ukraine, there is no talk of easing their debt, so it can be fully expected that the country will get fucked hard once the war is over. The biggest asset the country has is some of the most fertile agricultural lands in the world, the state owns or has options on most of it and it is the kind of asset that corporations/billionaires, with connections in Washington, crave.
It wouldn't be much different from how USA picked the UK to the bones in exchange for lend-lease.
