Congress critters from both sides are pushing for escalation. Schiff & Pelosi are over with Zelensky pledging an open check from us… no stopping until Russia is defeated. More of the same from the neocons theguardian.com They are reading from the same script… Vietnam Iraq & Afghanistan. Promise victory without a detailed explanation of what that means other than more dead American blood & treasure.

Then, you listen to someone like Scott Ritter - and he’ll tell you that handing those artillery pieces to Ukrainian soldiers is criminal, that it takes months of training to become proficient in their use - and that those guys will not be able to do it - and will die. Everything I've seen indicates the Ukrainians are a very resourceful lot. I suspect they will devote their best artillery men to the training...........they seem to be pretty good with smart anti tank weapons and drones........recall Ritter proclaiming all those so called "lethal weapons" were destroyed in warehouses by the Russians.......and that "any Ukrainian who attempted to use a javelin missile would be dead the second they try to use it".......the reality being Russian tanks are being blown up in mass before they even realize they are being targeted....(Ukrainians claim upwards of 1000 now).....you need to hear it again.....the first 10 minutes will do.........how you can give Ritter such credibility after that is beyond me.......but the fact is you do..........and thus have little credibility with me..........................Ritter seems way too pro Russian..........maybe the Russians are blackmailing him......would be very easy given his past and the Russians are infamous for doing that sort of thing....and I do not believe he has abandoned his past proclivities.......I only suggest this because it's actually hard to be as wrong as he was....but he managed it....effortlessly and with such conviction. youtube.com youtube.com
