    Possibly. Do you have any actual evidence about who will be training the tank crews? For that matter do you know if they will be trained in Ukraine or here in the US like the patriots crews?

    Also just to note the tweet @Commodore cited by Andy Biggs specifically said US Troops would be operating them.

    Andy Biggs is Pro Putin. Andy Biggs begged for a pardon. Andy Biggs helped incite an insurrection and defends Traitor Trump. It's disturbing that Private C takes his word as gospel.

    Lindsey Graham has changed his positions on many issues more times than an octopus changes its skin. No one across the political spectrum should trust Lindsey Graham on anything other than he’ll try to figure out which way GOP wind is blowing and latch himself to it.

    What a joke. Didn't even watch it. The words Trump making sense above the video was a disclaimer for me. Trump is Pro Putin. Trump loves him and admires him. Trump already proved he doesn't believe in Democracy or the truth when he lied his nasty as* off about winning the election. He will back Putin regardless of his war crimes.

    Military personnel is already there.

    All past wars including WWII where we were involved before we were officially involved. In those cases we were not deploying top echelon weapons like this.

    Tank commander is E6, it's laughable to train someone in a month. You cannot just hand Russia an American tank on a platter. It has to be deployed with a competent crew.

    Since the left has declared DeSantis worse than Trump, I would feel better voting Trump if he stopped the involvement with Ukraine. Let Europe deal with the Putin the dictator.

    He's said he would. Do vote for Trump, the '**** the Constitution' candidate.

    David Sacks is an isolationist and supported Trump's nationalism. He wasn't being fully honest that Trump wasn't his preferred candidate. Like you, DeSantis was his preferred candidate (donated to him) but Trump was always a choice of his as well.

    It's hilarious watching people on the right pretend their fighting with the question of morality. Cut the bs. We all know every republican here is going run to vote for trump in 2024. This is who you folks look up to. It's going be so satisfying to watch trump lose again in 2024.

    Don't forget trump called putin a "genius" during the first week of the invasion. Trump called putin a Genius AFTER he declared what putin was doing was a genocide.

    This is who Republicans worship LOL

    They’re not going to train them in a month. Kirby said it will take months.

    also yes US military personnel are in Ukraine. They are guarding US diplomats and providing intel and advice to Ukraine. That is a far cry from combat troops.

    Do you have proof that US troops are there manning tanks? Especially since the Abrams aren’t even there yet?

    British Challenger 2 Main Battle Tanks will be in Ukrainian hands for use against Russian forces by the end of March, with Ukrainian troops beginning training on the tanks next week.

    The information came to light after a Parliamentary written question was lodged. Rachel Hopkins, the Shadow Minister for Defence, asked:

    “We also welcome the Tallinn pledge as an important statement of western unity and intent to provide Ukraine with the support it needs. The west is united and we move together at a vital moment for Ukrainian forces. We encourage the Government to continue to work with NATO and European allies to deliver the support Ukraine needs to face down Putin’s aggression. It is now our duty to make sure that Ukraine wins this war. Can the Minister say when he expects Ukrainian troops to begin their training with our Challenger 2 tanks, and when he expects those tanks, and the tanks being sent by NATO allies, to begin to arrive on the frontline?”

    Alex Chalk, Minister of State at the Ministry of Defence, responded:

    “I am pleased to say that training is expected to start next week on Monday. She asked when the Challenger 2 tank will be in theatre; the intention is that that will be at the end of March. Between then there will be a significant programme of training, not just for the tank crews who are to operate the vehicle, but for those who will be charged with maintaining it. I am happy to discuss that further in due course if questions arise.”

    I talk about what the sending of tanks signifies here.

    Dude just grow one and admit what you actually like in politics. We’d respect you alot more than instead acting like a Glenn Greenwald/Tulsi phony.

    Honestly what would you say if people like me were coming out in a theoretical scenario where the next POTUS could have the power to pull protections away from Israel which would surely allow Iran to invade and takeover Jerusalem and people like me were saying that now I’ll be voting for 2024 candidate Illhan Omar who we know will allow Iran to takeover Jerusalem??

    Then we tried to sit here and claim moral righteousness because we are putting “America first” and are JUST isolationists.

    The world and the US will not be safer if Ukraine falls. That’s just a fact. Acting like just because Trump is corrupt enough to facilitate a nonviolent initial takeover does not ensure non-violence and broader war. It also ensures a more corrupt US government.

    No point you are making is logical at all. The only thing you are doing is publicly displaying justification for supporting Trump. If in the end you want to be full on MAGA just own it.

    I dont like anything in politics. Consolidation of power leads to increased corruption. Corruption is nothing more than the self preservation of the strong.

    'lol'. I had to read this 3x to make sure I didn't misread. You think Iran can take over Israel? Which alternate reality are you living in?? It would make for a great entertainment piece.

    Im not an isolationist. I do believe the world is a better place when all countries have a healthy economy. This is what makes N. Korea so dangerous. Nukes and nothing to lose.

    The outcome of Ukraine will have little impact on the world. For most Americans, the biggest threat comes from their surrounding neighborhood, not the Russian boogieman. I would love to see American spend those hundreds of billions on STEM education. Unfortunately the Republicans and Democrats both need a large uneducated population to remain in power.
