Ukraine is not some crowd funding thing. This is a country in chaos. At war. You don’t just ups 5,000 helmets in or send 1000 stinger missiles their direction
I read about all these people who are sending funds. Helmets. Armor. Ammunition. I have this vision that its all gonna just sit in a warehouse or out on a tarmac somewhere.
if you’ve ever been involved in distribution. Military or charity. And I’ve been in all 3. You know it takes a really disciplined apparatus to get stuff from point a to b in the best or circumstances. Which these aren’t.
i just read the Ukrainian President saying 16,000 foreign fighters want to come to defend them. Great. That’ll work out great. Just random dudes and we are going to hand them weapons. Not knowing the language. Understanding that Russians are wearing Ukrainian gear. And telling them to do what exactly? Go shoot your .45 at the nearest tank? Go lay your dead body in the pile of other dead bodies to block a tank?
i see this outpouring of financial material and human support and while it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy. And make me feel like the good guys are winning the war on Twitter. I wonder if it makes the human and organizational problems worse on the ground. Example. Big announcement the other day that other nations are giving or loaning MIgS to Ukraine? Nope. Scratch the at. Not happening. Ukranian Air Force apparently sitting this one out
What is interesting to me is seeing that 40 mile long line of supply omg. I bet American military leaders are salivating. “Please sir. Let me just senf f15s. Please. Shoot I’ve flown cesnas that if I leaned out the window and threw stuff could do major damage to that slug line
would someone please just go up in the air where that drone is and ow some stuff up? It’s just too easy and tempting and it’s bothering me to see it
The propaganda on both sides is BS. Ukraine is not innocent here, they are corrupt as the day is long.
It’s only a matter of time before the Soviets take over. Attacking the ports and halting grain/food will send things into meltdown.
Any weapons sent over the border are eventually just going to be in Russian hands, and any cash you donate to some feel-good Org will be in the hands of some non-profit CEO. They will thank you from the bottom of their heart while doing lines of blow off of a hooker's butt-hole at the Boleiro down in Cabo.
