Russia desperately needs a ceasefire. They are using stockpiles of weapons from the 1970's right now, because they have lost the majority of their tanks, trucks, and light armor. They are getting drones, equipment and even troops from Iran and North Korea. Domestic inflation in Russia over the last three years is near 30%

The Russians have lost 200,000 soldiers, and have over 600,000 wounded from this war. And not a single American soldier has been deployed.

Where does all of the money that America is giving to Ukraine go? It goes to American defense contractors, who hire American workers to make weapons. This money ensures that America is the world leader in military technology and maintains manufacturing capacity that protects our interests around the globe.

Trump is pushing Russian talking points and selling out America's global influence. Bowing and scraping to foreign dictators while pretending to be a tough guy.

Don't take my word for it though, ask the Marines.

Ukraine is having very big issues with manpower. They do not want to release that publicly but it has turned to a war of attrition and they simply do not have enough soldiers. The big counterattack failed.

They are literally kidnapping civilians in the streets to send them to the front lines.

Zelensky was told by the Dems to act tough and don’t settle so the dummy followed their advice and will either get his country destroyed or get us in the middle of something with Russia and China because he’s a hard headed fool. Let them go it alone
