    If a certain orange haired moldy cheeto is gonna stop funding them, it’s the least he can do with the last of his time. Let Ukraine give Russia a love letter in the form of missiles being allowed to strike deep into enemy territory.

    Too little, too late. If Biden wanted to salvage his reputation at all, he’d have to do a hell of a lot more than authorizing something Ukraine has been asking for for a long-ass time now.

      He should transfer like a trillion dollars of military equipment. It’s an official act, so he’d be immune from prosecution.

          I’m not a fan of proliferation of nukes to an unstable region.

          But top-tier stealth fighters and bombers, anti-aircraft systems that can track hundreds of miles into Russia, tanks, a navy, and all the guns, bombs, armor, and electronic warfare equipment they’ll accept sounds good.

          Hell - give them the classified future-tech shit.

          Make the Ukraine the best-equipped military in Europe with the stroke of a pen.

              I get what you are saying, but nukes are to prevent war not to be used as a defense.

              Ukraine should just never have dismantled their nukes in the first place.

              A better method would be to just allow Ukraine into the EU even though “not being at war” is one of the prerequisites.

                They did, on the promise that they would be taken care of. The moral of the story is, if you have nukes, you have to keep them now.

            Replaced Garland with someone who would actually do their job.

            He could have also just shot Trump in the face, because the SC gave him a blank check to do whatever.

              So you’d replace Garland and the new AG would do what, exactly? Fire Jack Smith?

        I think you misunderstand. I just won’t be calling Biden “uncle Joe” or the like because he has all the information and power in the world to have brought trump to justice, but didn’t

            Could’ve shot him in the face and then got a presidential pardon. Jokes aside, so many people overestimate the power of the US president.

            One simple thing he could have done would be to have not run for president again when he said he wasn’t going to, making Harris have a shorter time campaigning and giving Trump a huge head start.

            He can barely function from a physical and mental perspective. He should have GTFO the moment he could. It’s a wonder we didn’t have anyone younger from the beginning.

      Trumps only plan for avoiding nuclear war is continuing to gargle Putin’s balls and let him do anything he wants, including wipe out Ukraine

      The only thing Trump is trying to avoid are consequences for all the crimes he has committed.

      If Russia decides to fire nukes, nobody is to blame but Putin. Not only is he the one pressing the button, but he could literally end the war tomorrow since he is the one invading sovereign nations.

      The chance that Trump doesn’t try and use a nuclear weapon on Iran is near zero. It’s like drunk, depressed, isolated Nixon all over again, but worse this time.

    Yeah, I don’t think that’ll make a huge difference. The minute the US stops supplying, Ukraine’s in trouble.
