once again you either lie or purposefully act dumb. The 6B isn’t for 2022, it’s happening RIGHT NOW. If by the end of September Biden does not send 6B in aid the 6B will be gone forever for Ukraine.

That’s now, right now. because of the Biden/Harris administrations slow walk scared asses There is 6B in aid Ukraine will never see.
And again, additional lethal aid to Ukraine was stopped until and unless Russia invaded
all the spin and lies of Biden/Harris will not change that.

and you have no concept of money not spent. Send the weapons and systems to Poland now for Ukraine. If it takes time to train up, at least they’ll have them once they do. As it is now, they wouldn’t get them at all.
and no, I did not say they “should have taken Tokmak” after the fact. I was quite clear before the Ukrainian offensive ever started that Melitipol was the key, at that time there were no Russian defense lines and the defense around Melitopol was a shell.
I quite clearly stated before it ever began that I believed they would either go for Kherson and have a long hard slog (proven true), or do the dumbest of all their options and go for Lyman (which they did) leaving them in a position where Russian forces still had presence close by and could bring additional forces down from Russia to counter attack (which they have).
I was also quite clear that the reason they would opt for one of the two of the worser options (before they did either) was because the US would advise them to do it that way because of the fear that they may actually manage to liberate Crimea which would be the end of Putin, which is what Biden/Harris fear more than anything.
At the time, I was calling for Ukraine to go on he offensive and take melitpol, you and everyone else was saying Ukraine should not go on the offensive at all, they couldn’t win. This was around Jun/Jul of 2022 time period before Ukraine ever started any offensive.
Your knee jerk partisan defense of the stupidity that is the Biden/Harris policy is an issue for you, not me. I have supported arming Ukraine from the beginning, I still do. If we continue with the half assed, retarded Biden/Harris too scared to be decisive disastrous policy of arming them just enough to not make Russia too mad and ensure they can’t actually win (which would really make Putin mad), Ukraine will lose.
