That's a disappointing response.
You have misrepresented what I said twice....I'd accept one as a honest oversight or misreading but not twice from the same post....“Strengthening NATO”.....I said "strengthening and expanding NATO"....your deliberate misrepresentation by omission is a well known Kremlin Propaganda tactic. Do you really submit the addition of 2 new members, as a direct result of Putin's War on Ukraine, doesn't strengthen NATO ? You'd be one of few who thought as much I'd guess.
"Getting the rest of the world offside”....not what I said.
Very odd NATO's a toothless tiger suddenly....the Tsar has apparently been losing lots and lots of sleep over them for years and years now....not to mention all the Putin worshippers and apologists here who've been banging on about NATO for over 2 years now.....by the way they're not even fully engaged in Ukraine and I'm surprised you didn't know that being so close to the action ?....or is this whole filthy tragedy and one way road to destruction really all about Putin's proxy War on NATO ?
As far as your claims over weapons ? production is concerned I don't know if what you say is accurate or not but I imagine there might well be a big ramp up in production in various NATO and other countries as we speak. When you can provide something tangible and credible to back up your claim I might start paying it attention....I'm tired of seeing all sorts of cocksure, definitive claims made here with nothing to back them up. Have you given any thought to the resulting destruction of human and physical capital which results and the lost opportunity in improving the lives of Russian citizens ? I thought not.
I will say the US/Trump/Republican driven impediment to passing that aid package is a disgrace and reflects poorly on the US of A...and of course the bloodthirsty, ego driven Tsar will take advantage of the opportunity it's presenting...sadly for Ukraine and probably others.

My bad. A bit busy, so replied in a hurry. I have stated before that the US or European military aid hold ups are not going to determine the outcome of this war. The Ukrainian men simply don’t want to volunteer and fight. Without men, even drones can’t fly.

Why would you care for ordinary Russian citizens who recently gave Putin a massive vote of confidence, even if the few votes were suspicious.

Do you believe that Russia would launch a military operation against Ukraine if the USA gave Putin assurances that Ukraine would never become a member of NATO, that Ukraine would remain military neutral and that no foreign soldiers and bases would be stationed in Ukraine, ever?
