I’m a retired US army vet. 17 yrs in Europe. Berlin. 1960 to 1977 . Speak a number of European languages. Many friends in Eastern Europe. I am surprised and ashamed of my country for their present “political” position on support for Ukraine. Never in my wildest dreams would have imagined my country in the state it is now. Pitiful. The EU and NATO is no better. Big talk, little meaningful action. I’m ashamed.
I am ex-Australian military. There’s an old adage; “ If you don’t study history, you are destined to repeat it!”
Look at 1930’s Europe! It’s repeating, just different players!
Australia has 31 F/A18+++’s sitting in a warehouse waiting to be scraped!
I am ashamed of my piss-poor government, for not giving them to Ukraine! Pathetic!
If its the U.S. refusing to give Australia permission? Shame on both major U.S. political parties!
Shame on U.S. politicians for not supporting Ukraine fully. This will cost the U.S. dearly, when NATO gets involved, when Article 5 is enforced when East. Europe is attacked!
Shame on Trump for being no more than a weak appeaser!!!
In my comment on "Russians jamming NATO GPS.." I mused "do they (Russians) have the resources to engage in battle" and "does NATO have the resources and the will to engage in a fight? Hungary and Slovakia??? .... Maybe Russia can proceed with what they have."
Indeed, Russia may well proceed with what they have, given the crisis in the depleted war chests of the NATO States. Russia is continually pushing the boundaries, for example the recent proclamation that "any territories formerly belonging to the Russian Empire still belong to Russia today" which includes swathes of Asia and the Arctic (including those regions currently owned by the US), much the same as China's proclaimed ownership of the South and East China Seas (hmmm I think under the same logic, America could rightly lay claim to the Moon and Mars and many of the planets and tell the Chinese to remove their junk!!!!).
It would appear that Putin can smell Victory....and he's going for it...he senses the weakness, the complete unpreparedness, the potential widening divide amongst his enemies...and he won't stop until he is well and truly defeated and that defeat MUST INCLUDE Russia's dispossession of Kaliningrad.
American Republican Leadership are the definition of selfish ass holes. Nothing more than a giant smoldering pile of Pieces OS. The fact that these idiots have cut off funding to Ukraine is reprehensible. i am embarrassed to be an American with this set of Republican leaders. Not only are their actions heartless, they are just plain stupid. We need to get Ukraine all the proper tools to eradicate Putler's Russia from existence. I vote for turning Moscow and all of their stupid theme-park looking gold domed gawdy buildings into Bakhmut. F-ing swine.
It is a sad state of affairs. Just think about it. If the Western countries would have let Ukraine attack the military assets in Russia from the very beginning of the invasion,Ukraine may have been able to destroy some of the facilities that manufacture the missiles and this may have severely limited the barrage that Ukraine is seeing now. The US has the ATACM expired missiles that Biden wouldn't send. So here we are: Ukraine is using up all their defense missiles and their cities are about to get destroyed. When Russia gets done destroying Ukraine they will continue to take former Soviet countries back into their fold. What is NATO going to do about it? Not much I'm afraid.. NATO have never been tested. They use strong words but I'm afraid they don't have the backbone for a long grueling war. Putin is counting on this and his main goal is to break NATO apart. If that happens then Putin will have the opportunity to defeat counties one by one..
I’m from Texas and I am so ashamed of my country. The Maga Republicans should have long been removed for their part in the insurrection, then we wouldn’t have this problem. God help Ukraine.SLAVA UKRAINI!🇺🇦💙💛💪🙏🏻🙏🏻
People stop sounding like that arsehole in russia is having the tide changing, Ukraine is going to have VICTORY, admittedly there are a few major setbacks, but don’t forget the world leaders assumed that it would be all over in a few days, they were all wrong. We are coming into the beginning sadly of year 3 and Ukraine is still kicking butt. I would like to know from anyone out there as I’m very perplexed, why is it that USA can twaddle over to the seas in the vicinity of Israel, and have USA warships start sending missiles into another country, that hadn’t directly attacked the USA warships. Then there is the USA giving their blessing to Israel who suffered the attack by hamass the atrocities that took place to innocent lives, those who were kidnapped allowing Israel to attack hamass who are in Palestine another country, USA allowed Israel to defend themselves, defend their land so Israel are attacking another country Palestine with missiles, the Israeli defence personnel have also gone into Palestine to find and kill terrorist group hamass, sadly along the way thousands of innocent lives of Palestinians are being lost because Israel is attacking hospitals, apartment buildings where there are innocent lives…saying it was a front for hamass. It’s devastating for both countries here, innocent lives lost…..YET when the same atrocities happened to Ukraine and continue to do so USA tell Ukraine they are not allowed to defend themselves by sending missiles into Russia….Ukraine is only allowed to target the terrorists russia that are on Ukrainian land. USA refuse to send long range missiles that could reach targets within russia which could really help Ukraine but USA say no….I just don’t get it, yet USA are backing Israel who are behaving more like russia. Ukraine good decent people, who if I remember correctly the old mantra from Biden and the rest of the western leaders was, Ukraine is not only fighting for its sovereignty and freedom but for the democracy of the free world, gee haven’t heard that for a while. Ukrainians have shown great restraint, they have strength, courage, love of country ,integrity, compassion they have what the western world doesn’t “BALLS”! If the weapons were given to Ukraine they would not be as cold and as heartless as Israel is being. Ukraine would only attack military targets not residential homes, or hospitals etc. Can someone please explain why there is a double standard here, this is so totally wrong, who the hell is going to actually call this out anyone…. any world leader out there got the balls to say go to hell Biden, we support Ukraine to bomb the shit out of all Russian military targets so go get stuffed USA……sadly I doubt it but why not??? The problem is they are all useless governments who are just to scared of poohtin pure and simple, look at Biden ridiculous comment way back when he idiotically said he didn’t want to start world war 3, he straight away gave the signal he was petrified and that gave numb nuts poohtin power in his little head. Ukrainians were the ones who knew poohtin is just a bully, yet when they tried to speak their voices were ignored by the western leaders, shame on the lot of you. As for our pathetic useless weak Australian government they have treated Ukraine poorly I’m so ashamed of the Australian government and the pathetic weak prime minister who is suppose to behave like a leader far from it. It saddens me to say that recently mentioned on media here, the Australian Government have not even bothered to reply to requests from Ukraine government about the helicopters Australia was scrapping, due to some crashes the Australian defence force had, which Ukraine was well aware of. There are helicopters of the exact same type that are used in other western countries right now, none of those countries are cutting them up and burying in landfill. Ukraine government was also ignored by our Australian government for a request for coal…when I say ignored the Australian Government didn’t even have the courtesy to reply to the Ukrainian government over these 2 requests, and I believe these 2 incidents aren’t the only time the weak pathetic Australian government ignored Ukraine governments official request for assistance in the past. I think the Australian government are slowly moving from assisting the western world and unfortunately appear to be aligning themselves with China, what other country would actually find no security issue in leasing out one of the major ports that is close to the vicinity where some of the Australian defence force are based, to a Chinese company who have ties with the Chinese government, only a dumb government. As Colin Hill so eloquently put it our Australian Government is definitely piss weak. There needs to be countries who are willing to ignore USA and just go ahead and supply Ukraine with what ever she needs. I pray for a miracle each and every day God bless Ukraine. Glory to Ukraine, Glory to the Heroes all Ukrainians and glory to all the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
I really appreciate your comments Denise. This is a political problem in the US for Ukraine, Israel, and our US border security (or non-security) funding. I highly doubt much will be done in the US until our presidential elections are complete in November.
Michal, what exactly happened to TVP World in Poland and how are you and your co-hosts doing? Are you in contact with them? Sorry, haven't been in this group very long so forgive me it I missed it. I have written, again, to my US congress people to release these "outdated" ATACMS weapons to Ukraine. Never an honest reply.
Hello, I'm new to this group, and I appreciate what Michal has done to kept us all informed on TVP, and continues to do so. I have enjoyed all the episodes of Rock Rachon and the vital information and the best interviews from people who know wtf is going on, on the frontlines. (Michal you should get general Keene on your feed/show, he has many answers.)
We should be replenishing our US stockpile of weapons right now (and NATO stockpiles are not sufficient and NATO Sec. Stoltenberg is right), but doesn't seem like Biden gives a rat's ass. "A small incursion", as Biden put it, about 2 years ago, basically giving the Russians the green light to invade an independent neighbor nation. Biden is still oblivious to everything. Idiot.
I say send Ukraine the outdated US ATACMS, as Michal has reported on, first time I heard of it few weeks ago. No reports on this topic specifically in the US whatsoever, none that I've heard! The US should send a shitload of HIMARS, just like the one that blew up the headquarters of the Russian Black Sea fleet building and some ships. We need to send every kind of drone, small arms, 50, 155, Javelins, Stingers and whatever we have to destroy these motherfuckers. And send a special mission to Iran to destroy the drone factories who are supplying the Russians who are killing innocent Ukrainians with them.
I pray the Ukrainians can hold out until the spring and get the F-16s and get more Abrams tanks, Bradleys, and Howitzers to destroy the Russian invaders once and for all. Слава Україні

"Putin senses weakness"? Absolutely. If Trump were president none of this would have ever happened.
What’s America going to do, when the Russian dwarf says he’s takenAlaska back???
Appease, appease, appease????
Avoid the rush Alaskans! Get yr Russky passports NOW! Then you can have a free trip to Ukraine. Two for one deal. Happy days😊

Putin and Trump Wet Dreams! Why has it taken so long for Europe and the USA to ramp up munition production? History repeating itself?

America does not have an inability to continue its aid to Ukraine, rather an unwillingness. Sometimes I hardly recognize the country I served.

I’m convinced Putler is gay and hates himself for it. No offense intended to gay people.
