"Thanks for the [advertisement]. I'm trying to get logistics in place to help Ukraine win the war and secure America," tweeted Vindman.

The sooner the better those MBTs, etc. get there the better. They should have been there already, IMO. The USA's top threats were and are the Russians & Chinese. The US [& NATO] have a real good chance here to cut off Putin's/Russian's wings, etc. And if properly armed the Ukraine can do it IMO … The Russian military is not very good … the Ukraine outclasses them. What more does the US/NATO need to know ? The US has the funds to support much of this.  |

Good to see many are sending support to Ukraine. But where all the US AFVs ? I think the US is dragging its feet. For fear of the Ukraine going into Russia ? Which is ridiculous. And when I say Russia. I mean don't the Donbas and Crimea. Those belong to the Ukraine. At this point Russia holds only a little more territory than when it invaded over a year ago. IMO once the Ukraine gets all the US, NATO, etc. support they need/want. They will go on a general offensive to push the Russian invaders out, killing many of them and reclaiming the Donbas and even Crimea. The UN will probably have to set up along the Ukraine-Russian border. When this is over. Like in Cyprus, the former Yugoslavia, etc. Also, Putin needs the think about once Finland is in NATO. They share an 800-mile border, IIRC. Yes, more NATO units will be on his border. Probably including not just Finns but other members of NATO. Putin/Russia will never get it. They brought this on themselves. The Finns and former WP joined NATO to keep the Russians out of their nations. As the former WP did not like Russian occupation after WWII. Nor did Finland like the Russian invasion before WWII. Yes, a lot of people don't like Putin and Russia. That will not change for a very long time. |

According to a poll in 10 European countries, United States more perceived as an «ally» than a «necessary partner» after one year of war in Ukraine,
opinion shared by 52% of the people in Denmark in 2023, more than in Great Britain, they were only 35% two years before while the percentage in Germany has increased from 19 to 32%
|
| Legion 4 | 18 Mar 2023 8:28 p.m. PST |
Gee … should we get out of NATO now ? Some may see the US as a "necessary partner" but better being in NATO than have to take on Putin on their own, yes ? Why did so many former WP nations join NATO after the USSR fell ? I'm pretty sure I know that answer … Many must realize that Putin attacked a nation in Europe, where those nations on the chart are. They must also realize Putin & the Russians are committing war crimes. In those nations "backyard" … Who does not get that ? And anyone in those nations who sees the US as a competitor or adversary don't know what they are talking about. They might want to look those terms up in a dictionary. There are a number on line. |

| Lilian | 19 Mar 2023 3:56 p.m. PST |
just because the poll was limited to 10 mentionned States : 9 EU members + UK oustide given the Brexit, so EU9 is simply the average for these 9 EU countries concerned by the poll in the same time Russia has passed from «necessary partner» to «adversary» again Denmark at the first rank
Russia is widely seen as an "adversary" or "rival" by Europeans, while the EU is perceived as stronger than before the start of Moscow's war on Ukraine, according to a report by the European Council on Foreign Relations
On average, two-thirds of those polled across 10 European countries consider Russia as a rival to their own country, while 40 % see it as weaker than before it invaded Ukraine. The "adversary" stance was strongest in Denmark (82 %), followed by Estonia and Poland (both 79 %), Britain (77 %), Germany (69 %),
Spain (65 %), France (59 %), Portugal (57 %) and Italy (54 %). In Romania, 44 % said Russia is an adversary or rival. |

Yes, with some support for the war again Russian Imperialism is taking too long. To many in the USA they have to have everything "now". It would be a huge error to let Putin "win"… Which would be a de facto win for Xi so to speak. He is Putin's best backer. And may only emboldened the PRC/CCP to try to invade Taiwan. There is a new world order in the works. With China replacing the USA as #1 in geopolitics, economically, politically, etc. And there will be "a wringing of hands and gnashing of teeth".
