    Then why did Trump give tank killing offensive weapons like the Javelin to Ukraine that Obama refused to give? You think Putin liked that?

    Experts and military officials agree that the Trump administration’s decision to provide the Javelin, a shoulder-mounted precision missile system that can take out tanks and other armored vehicles, to Ukraine has been a significant contribution to the country’s security. And amid allegations that Trump might have held up military aid to Ukraine, news reports on Tuesday indicated that the U.S. State Department approved the sale of a further $39 million worth of Javelins. The move would add another 150 missiles to the 210 the United States sent last year—the first sale of its kind to Kyiv.

      President Trump has made a number of decisions that do not benefit Russia, yet we're supposed to believe that he's in Putin's back pocket.
      Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd
      But I'd rather be a fool in the eyes of man
      Than a fool in the eyes of God

        No kidding, and if memory serves even the EU wouldn't give the Ukraine offensive weapons...

              It’s part of his evil plan to throw us off the trail. Good thing we have FF here, to tell us that giving weapons to the Ukraine is just what Putin wants!

                California has a law where the top two primary candidates run in the general election vs the top candidates from each party. Guess what party often has two candidates in the primaries?

                              The Ukraine conflict is complicated by the fact that the majority in Donbass are Russians.

                              Far from the noise of the political storm over President Donald Trump’s phone calls with Ukraine is the loud barrage of Russian artillery fire blasting away in the Donbass.

                              The Russian attacks are increasing in frequency and destruction. Ukrainian casualties are mounting.

                              Ukraine has asked the U.S. to provide military supplies to support their fight against the Russians, but the White House has delayed it.

                              For the Ukrainian military, and ultimately for the U.S. and other allies who are dealing with Russian aggression, the bottom line is this: Any delay in arms sales has a deleterious effect on Ukraine’s fight.

                              That’s bad news for U.S. forces who may one day encounter the Russian military and will rely in part on lessons learned from Ukraine’s fight.

                              Since the 2014 Russian seizure of Crimea and invasion of Ukraine’s east, the “full spectrum” of Russian military doctrine has been on display. That doctrine — often referred to as “hybrid warfare” — includes the use of conventional forces like mechanized infantry backed by armor and artillery, as well as special operations forces, assassinations and bombings, electronic warfare, cyber attacks and the weaponization of information.


                              Ukraine needs U.S. arms to counter these threats.

                              In 2015, for instance, Ukraine received 20 AN/TPQ-53 radar systems that track incoming mortar and short-range artillery fire.

                              The casualty rate for units equipped with those systems dropped from 47 percent to about 18 percent, Col. Andrii Ordynovych, Ukraine’s military attache in Washington tells Military Times.

                              Similarly, after Ukraine’s military began using U.S.-provided Javelin anti-tank weapons, Russian tanks and armored personnel carriers that once operated with devastating impunity have backed off, Ordynovych said. “That was a strategic deterrence,” he said.

                              That’s the goal of the $250 million U.S. aid package held up by Trump, which includes sniper rifles, rocket-propelled grenade launchers, counter-artillery radars, electronic warfare detection and secure communications, night vision and military medical treatment.

                              In July, George P. Kent, deputy assistant secretary in the European and Eurasian Bureau at the U.S. Department of State, told Military Times that the U.S. military is paying close attention to how Ukraine fights the Russians, and the equipment and tactics and techniques the Russians are employing.

                              “I think there is a great opportunity, even as we are helping the Ukrainian military build its own resilience against Russian aggression, for us to learn from the modern way of Russia doing war in Ukraine,” he said in an interview.

                                EGGzackly. So the Democrats have to significantly dumb it down in order to prosecute the Trump administration.
