The Ukrainians should tell the US and their Russian puppet masters where to stick it!
Putin doesn't release any of his files?Like I said yesterday - Putin owns the Joker in this three card pack.
Everyone knows how venal the Joker is so what has Putin promised him?

Reliance on the whims of foreign aid will not bring victory. Only Ukraine can save itself. Ukraine is going to have to take on an Israeli national defence mindset. To Israelis there is no where to flee to, they understand that if Israel falls to invasion, then every Israeli man, woman and child will be butchered by the invaders. With that mindset, every Israeli adult is a trained soldier (even the orthodox Haredi as of last year), and at times of war, every Israeli fights. There is no home front where Israel's civilians can focus on the economy, keeping the shops open, or regular life. Everyone fights, for example during the Yom Kippur war, over 10% of all Israel adult males served in combat roles. If Ukraine did this, their army would double in size. Ukrainians, including the estimated five million who fled since 2022, need to see the invasion as an existential struggle for their people. With this in mind, every Ukrainian adult needs to be trained, armed and ready to fight. That's one path. The other path is Ukraine's military remains at approximately 900,000, which represents about 4.5% of the adult population, and is overrun. In this case, the only place Ukrainian culture and language exists is in the diaspora of refugees and emigrants found across the globe.America stopped being the leader of the free world in January this year and the rest of the free world needs to wake up, step up.
Just remember that Israel receives massive amounts of American aid and has done so for decades. Don't fall into the myth that they are "self made".Reliance on the whims of foreign aid will not bring victory. Only Ukraine can save itself.

So has Ukraine. Israel is self made with blood, but yes with support from the US and others.Just remember that Israel receives massive amounts of American aid and has done so for decades. Don't fall into the myth that they are "self made".
Who's blood...?So has Ukraine. Israel is self made with blood, but yes with support from the US and others.
Ukraine has received a lot of support from the USA but this is dwarfed by the numbers that Israel has received. It is also fair to say that Ukraine has received close to no aid from the USA this year. It has all been paid for by Europe (plus a 10% mark up) who then give it to Ukraine.So has Ukraine. Israel is self made with blood, but yes with support from the US and others.
