So their army is increasing in size from 17,250 to ~18,000.For reference - they needed 700 people, 500 volunteered, 200 were conscripted by lottery
Well that's the EU safe then.

Have you actually considered listening to his stated position on what he'll do in Ukraine instead of just inventing some fantasy of what you think it is?
It's quite depressing that come November the country considered the leader of the west, and the biggest supporter of Ukraine, is going to be run either by a crazy old man or a senile old man, for the next four yearsI wouldn't let the guy drive my taxi let alone "run" the US.
He wasn't calling you stupid, he was calling your argument stupid.Ah insults are allowed again now or will I get for replying?
Be interesting to figure out how they've managed this, apparently they're using legit accounts not hacking.So Russia is now using starlink....
That's been on the cards for a while. The counter offensive was a bit a damp squib and now Ukraine is back on the defensive, this has probably all contributed to his dismissal. I just hope the reason is military reasons not politicalBbc reporting zelensky has sacked zaluzhny

Almost but the first thing trump will do is try his very best to pull the US out of NATO, His master wants it so he will be trying hard to do it along with cutting all funding.Two options if Trump wins in my opinion:
1/ He follows his M.O - He'll stop funding to Ukraine, call Zenesky and say there's no more money and demand the money back he stole from the US. The EU isn't giving you enough to continue to fight, negotiate with Putin or risk losing the whole country again. He will then go on TV and tell the world he's told him that, how it's am ammmmzing thing to have done and how he is looking after America's interests first. His base will lap it up, reinforce the fact the Biden's are a criminals. Meanwhile Ukraine is screwed (unless EU do significantly up their military supplies as they promised but are really yet to do).
He'll then tell the rest of the Baltics you might be in NATO but we have no interest in actually helping you.
2/ He actually pays attention to what some of the Senior GOP leaders are saying which is that Ukraine must be supported and continues providing military aid but less than under Biden. By that point he's probably already "solved" the southern border "invasion" so his base and GOP nutcases are happy about that. But then providing Ukraine with aid creates a problem as he's told everyone that they are dodgy, can't be trusted, in bed with the Bidens etc. But then when has doing a 180 ever been a problem for Trump.
I should think 1 is most likely. Ukraine may be forced to negotiate. Putin doesn't go after anyone else.. he's a war criminal and a dictator but he's not stupid and won't go after any other countries.
4 years go by, Republicans lose the next election because of the craziness of Trump. Dems get back in.. NATO is safe, too late for Ukraine.
WW3 - anything is possible with Trump, look at the Afghanistan deal. But he's Putin's shill, he's potentially in the pocket of a few Russian banks. I don't think there's much chance of WW3 kicking off with him as President.
Isn’t it the house that is/will be blocking it?The bill has passed woop!
Both houses have overwhelming support for the bill. It was just the actions of a few of Trump/Putins patsies blocking a vote on it happening.The bill hasn't even passed the Senate, all they have done is voted to proceed (so they can debate it and amend). It will still need to pass votes in the Senate and the House.
That's quite a shopping list of destruction. We talk about Ukraine and lack of ammo, but I wonder if eventually Russia will run out of combat vehicles.
They had a huge stock of them when the war started, but there is a large number of destroyed vehicles and I doubt they make them as quickly as they lose them, probably not even close.
