For the anti-Ukraine gang this is how it works: The US gives Ukraine 42 HIMARS so it can fight an invader. They perform so well that Poland orders 486 in a deal worth billions of dollars and more American jobs. I can only explain it to you. I cannot understand it for you.

The U.S. has provided $27.5 billion in military assistance to Ukraine since Russia’s invasion. This equals 3.2 percent of the FY 2023 defense budget, about one-tenth of one percent of America’s GDP, or about $3.50 from each American taxpayer per week. A bargain!

🧵 Nobody in the think-tank community gets it right all the time. I’ve been wrong and I try being the first to admit when I am. That’s how you learn. But one year ago, just before the invasion, Samuel Charap and Scott Boston of Rand got it WRONG. And I mean W.R.O.N.G. 👇🏻

The UK government reacts quickly. Meanwhile the US government moves like pond water.

The UK is moving rapidly to bolster Ukraine’s air defence, in the wake of Putin’s murderous air strikes. Hundreds of British made air defence missiles are being sent to ensure @Ukraine has what it needs to defend itself from Putin’s barbaric bombardment. #SlavaUkraini

Just 72 hours ago many “experts” were writing about how the Azerbaijani offensive has not been successful because of an over reliance on drones at the expense of maneuver warfare. Khodaafarin Bridges, Fuzuli, Hadrut, Jabrayil, etc prove that this analysis was dead wrong.

Ukraine is in the front foot. Russia is on the back foot. Yet there are some in Washington who want to block further assistance to Ukraine. Let’s get Ukraine everything it needs to win and stop playing games.

Myth 9: Russia is a distraction. Focus must be China. Reality: Russia is China’s junior partner. A defeated Russia means a weaker China. China is also watching how we support Ukraine, so a strong & victorious Ukraine makes Taiwan stronger. Read more Mackinder & less Mahan 😉

Armenian forces & supported militia occupy large chunk of land that the int'l community recognizes as Azerbaijan's. For almost 30 yrs int'l community has failed to find a peaceful settlement. War is terrible. But don't act surprised that Baku sees war as only remaining option.

Ukraine is in middle of its crucial counteroffensive. NOW IS NOT THE TIME to play swamp politics in Washington by blocking/slowing additional US military aid to Ukraine. Americans want Ukraine to win. Congress must vote in such a way that reflects this. Keep the weapons flowing!
