The share of Americans across the political spectrum who support sending arms to Ukraine has dropped, according to a Reuters/Ipsos survey released Thursday.

The poll, conducted Tuesday and Wednesday, showed only 41 percent of respondents said they agreed that the United States should provide weapons to Ukraine, down from 65 percent of respondents who said the same in a June 2023 survey.

Ukraine says after they got the Mi-8 pilot Kuzminov out, interest from Russian troops spiked by 70%

No wonder Kremlin wants him dead.

The interest might just be from the sheer fact that Ukraine actually pays out. RUMOD on the other hand is stiffing their own troops left and right.

Putin taunts West by suggesting Ukraine would die in a week if one aid package falls through the cracks.

They're biding their time waiting for popular support to become unpopular support. It doesn't help most of Ukraine's immediate neighbors have to varying degrees told them to eat shit, let's be hopeful they aren't canaries in a coal mine.

Russia is building training bases inside Ukraine apparently. They are trying to remove the logistics problems they had last time they mobilised.

I mean it could be all for show... a big bluff for the West. "We'll pour another 200k infantry into Ukraine. And then another 200k. etc". If the West blinks...he might be golden. But I don't think the West will blink... so Ukraine basically have to kill Russians faster than they can be shipped in.

Until the Russian economy completely breaks.

Edit: this link is better for this economics stuff is getting interesting;

Disputes between the Kremlin and the central bank over the best way to strengthen the ruble have spilled into the open.

How low can the Ruble go before Putin is removed? He may have bodies, but if he doesn't have a currency...

If the Russians want to get themselves killed in bulk we can certainly accommodate them.

Not too surprising really. Executing and abusing their own troops, shooting down their own fighters, sending troops to attack with no ammo or support. Well looks like now some of them are using tiktoks to keep their sadistic commanders happy. Sounds desperate and bound to be discovered, have fun in that Storm brigade Yuri.


"The commander tells me: 'You will be Bondarchuk,'" the soldier said, a reference to Fedor Bondarchuk, the film's director. "So I dressed all my [soldiers] up, fucking put them in their positions, and walked around filming them in the trenches to show how fucking well they are fighting here," the soldier told his wife, in the audio released by Ukraine. "It was all sent to some superiors."

Truley a world class professional military.

Russian society is built on a culture of relentless lying at every level. They even have a term called 'vranyo' where two people have a discussion where they are both lying to each other, and both people know the other is lying, but they do it anyway. That's the level of degeneracy we're talking about here.

@Young Grasshopper - would this be a bad thing about Russia? Again, I would be very interested to hear what aspects of Russian culture, and especially Russian leadership that you think are bad. (stay away from windows!)

No matter how subservient the Russian people seem to be to the state, on average, I too doubt they'll be thrilled with IOU's written on the back of napkins.

The Republican version of vranyo is quite expectantly identical except in the vernacular. The more you compare the two the more they seem the same. I mean, our conservatives already have an admiration of the Russian people irt to how they earnestly support Putin's special military de-nazification operation in Ukraine.

At this kind of rate existing PDA funds likely won't be exhausted until sometime in early 2025. Not optimal but we can definitely stretch to the next Congress if need be (I doubt it will be required). If Russia thinks the stuff that goes boom is going to stop coming anytime soon they are mistaken. Then there is the 12B worth of supplies coming under USAI which will deliver over the next few years.

200-300M worth of munitions a month is a lot of munitions. Still this isn't the only source by any means.



Outgoing Ukrainian Defense Minister Oleksiy Reznikov has revealed that Russia’s ongoing full-scale invasion and war is costing Ukraine a staggering $100 million every day.

So 2-3 days worth of munitions is supposed to last them a month?🤡

That’s total costs, genius, not ammunition costs. Not very smart, huh?

Also, for the third time can you think of any bad aspects of Russia, their leadership in particular?

Oh, Okay - thanks. I thought that was total funding. I thought some bombshell dropped that i hadn't seen in the news.

Well, the quality of output from the Young Grasshopper account has been compromised/dwindling/getting shittier as the war has progressed.

I still find it funny that if you look back a long ways he started out saying he just wanted peace and an end to the bloodshed for humanitarian reasons and now as things have deteriorated further for Russia he’s openly thirsting for more war and more blood.

I still would love to hear him say a single, solitary bad thing about Russia. I’ve been there and it’s very, very easy to do. The country is a shithole.
