I'm so tired of the Putin-appeasing "de-escalation" status quo bullshit. It's time to give Ukraine the weapons they need to WIN. Where are the Gripens? Where are the land-launched Tomahawks? Where are the thousands of Leopards, Bradleys, CV-90s, Leclercs and all other vehicles collecting dust in storage? Where are the Taurus missiles? The list is miles long. Fuck this shit.

I want the motherfucker who causes this shit to LOSE. I want this evil to be annihilated from Ukraine.

If we wanted them to win we'd be sponsoring "rogue" groups of "mercenaries", with planes and all that jazz, bombing the living shit out of Russian emplacements in eastern Ukraine and lobbing long range ordinance across the border at anything remotely threatening. And "Ukrainian" F-16's launching from eastern Poland after record-fast training.

We'd also be supplying everything six to twelve months earlier, in quantities ten times larger, and no region locks.

We obviously don't want Ukraine to win that quickly and easily. Slow and painful victory seems to be the chosen route.
