  1. These batteries are sent there in anticipation of an attack from Russia, which I believe is the US slow-walking the plan to let Ukraine have the Polish Migs. The idiots are going to escalate things and give the Migs to Ukraine, they are just slow-walking it. So the Patriots are there now expecting a Russian retaliation.

  2. “Her high-stakes visit comes after the Pentagon poured cold water on Poland’s offer to hand all its MiG-29 fighter jets to the US ”

    My understanding is that it was the Poles themselves who called BS on the idea. It was the U.S. — and that idiot Blinken in particular — who were trying to push the narrative about Poland sending its planes, apparently without Poland’s agreement.

  3. Indian givers. You can have em, sure you can have em, most definitely you can have em. Oh we changed our mind, not a problem right? One hand doesn’t know that the other hand is doing. Maybe they thought the Pols would not give me up their Mig-29’s & were caught with their/US vibrating panties down. After thinking about it, is this a act of war?
    Good to know, we have children running things.

  4. Sources close to the matter say the Pentagram is going to commit two more elite divisions of Sanctions to the battle.

    I reckon Professor General Milley is over there in Ukraine doing in-the-field studies of White Rage. Maybe he should just roam the halls at NATO HQ.

  5. Two whole batteries with missiles that have a range of about 15 miles (according to internet articles) to supply air defense. They couldn’t even cover Kyiv with those. Granted, they are mobile, so they could move based on intelligence, but seriously?

  6. How many knowledgeable people believed that Putin would launch an all out invasion of Ukraine? How many knowledgeable people believed Putin would destroy Ukrainian cities, wantonly killing innocent civilians? Putin has warned the West that he would attack any country that came to the direct aid of Ukraine. Want to bet against Putin being willing to attack Poland if it sends in those MiGs from NATO airbases? The Russians are going to have their way with the Ukrainians eventually. It’s going to be a bloody disaster. The only people who can put an end to it are in Russia, wearing uniforms.

  7. Dipshit Pedo can’t even get Saudi Arabia and the UAE to take his phone calls so he is now pursuing Venezuela and Iran to change his diaper. What an embarrassing situation.

    I’m telling you this senile clown is going to get us into WW3,

    He is just such a deeply stupid and weak cowardly imbecile. Like the Magic Half Black, he eats humiliation for breakfast while OPEC rubs his squinty face into the newspaper.

    We are so fucked.

    Everything you said about Pedo is true.

    And also the EXACT reason he was selected for us.

    Humiliating and destroying the US is the entire point.

    Pedo serves that purpose for them well…

  9. Poland SHOULD give their MIG-29s to Ukraine. If Poland cannot sign over title to said MIGs at Ramstein Air Force Base, then they should save jet fuel and make the exchange at the Baranovichi Air Base, (which has MIG-29 support facilities.)

  10. Yikes! Russia doesn’t want the biological weapons labs next door anymore. Watta we gonna do?
    Brandon says it’s our patriotic duty to welcome hyperinflation which will hurt Russia. Brandon logic. FJB
