He might not care about it, but the rest of the government might have something to say about it as well. There's a reason the republicans are very supportive of a law making it so that the president can't unilaterally withdraw from NATO. Originally Posted by Twdft

Pretty sure Congress would be able to pass a veto proof bill mandating that the DoD supplies Ukraine if it were needed.
It ignores such insignificant forces as time, entropy, and death

I can't see why Trump would be able to just stop all help to Ukraine despite the both chambers and the people are behind helping. Your president is not a dictator, unlike what Trump seems to think lol

You haven't heard of that thing called veto? And which party has control right now? Originally Posted by Voidism

Didn't Republicans block a 6 billion Ukraine aid few weeks ago, and are in general against further funding help? Wouldn't Trump just add to that? Originally Posted by Hansworst

Sometimes, the light of the moon is a key to other spaces. I've found a place where, for a night or two, the streets curve in unfamiliar ways. If I walk here, I might find insight, or I might be touched by madness.

Biden is not bound by the chambers. He can just use the lend-lease that was approved, that he hasn't used at all yet. Originally Posted by Makabreska

Remember that the strategy is to wear down russia completely. Boil the frog. That's why it's relatively slow.

Except that the Lend-lease act expired October 1st and there's this teeny-tiny problem of there being no Speaker to remedy that... Originally Posted by Voidism

The problem with this support is production. Despite grand speeches, promises and wishes for the future, European arms manufacturing has hardly picked up because for one reason or another countries do not seem to be willing to do long-term investments now beyond speaking of them and to be effective in the near future those investments should've been realized last year.

The UK MoD have put out an updated estimate of russian losses. They are saying Russia has take 150,000 to 190,000 permanent casualties (dead or crippled) and 240,000 to 290,000 temporary casualties. Those numbers don't count Wagner or prisoners either.

Orban growing closer to puutin
I mean, yes totally comparable...Prime Minister Viktor Orbán compared Hungary’s membership in the European Union to more than four decades of Soviet occupation of his country during a speech on Monday commemorating the anniversary of Hungary’s 1956 anti-Soviet revolution.
In other news, the reports of a firmly established bridgehead on the eastern bank of the Dnipro are growing stronger. Not much in mainstream media but that would be logical given Ukraine's great Opsec discipline

Turkey's Erdogan submits Sweden's NATO bid to parliament for ratification, presidency says
Good news. Still has to make its way through Hungary though.ANKARA, Oct 23 (Reuters) - Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan on Monday submitted a bill approving Sweden's NATO membership bid to parliament for ratification, his office said, a move welcomed by Stockholm as it clears the way for it to join the Western defence alliance.
Erdogan pleased his NATO allies at a summit in July by promising to send the legislation to parliament when it reopened on Oct. 1, having previously raised objections over Sweden's alleged harbouring of individuals who Turkey says are members of terrorist groups.
Since parliament reopened, however, Turkish officials have repeatedly said Stockholm needed to take more concrete steps to clamp down on the outlawed Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) militia before Ankara could ratify its membership bid. The PKK is deemed a terrorist organisation by Turkey, the European Union and the United States.
On Monday the bill on approving Sweden finally moved forward.

Hungary is a huge Putin shill. So I wouldn't hold my breath. Originally Posted by Deus Mortis

For all the bluster Hungary has put up, there’s been pretty much nothing coming forward from them in terms of actual demands in all this time. Originally Posted by Cynical Asshole

With Orban's latest statements I'm surprised he's still in NATO and the EU... Originally Posted by zealo

Wants all the perks, but none of the responsibilities. Problem is there's no means to kick out Orban from both and he won't leave because it's too good a deal for him to remain in and cry about them. Originally Posted by Iphie

very very early and hard to substantiate report of Putin having heart problems...
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...-problems.html
Lack of sources on this, but long running rumors that Putin's health isn't exactly the best either...
Going with possible, but can't be definite.

Eh I doubt it. Especially since he survived. All guards would have been known so any leaks would have been either of them and it would lead to a special tea drink with a window view. Originally Posted by Resurgo
