Joe Biden* isn't doing shit anyhow. His biggest accomplishment every day is not drooling all over his suits, and he fails at that most of the time.

You have written approximately that same sentence hundreds of times. I got the message the first time, years past, but a different one than the one you think you are sending. The real message is that you are a retard, Signym. That's why you wrote the same message over and over. You can't stifle yourself. Your buddy 6ixStringJack sends stupid messages while under the illusion that he is communicating brilliantly. He has proved that he is a retard who, afraid of the new, left the wide world to live alone in a lower-class Trumptard neighborhood. What will he do if Trump isn't the next President? If Trump proves to be not fine? More sound and fury signifying nothing from 6ix? See this:

Fuck Ukraine, fuck Russia, and fuck you.


Don't talk about Sigs repeating herself. I've got to listen to the same old bullshit coming out of your dumb face every single day I show up here, fucktard.

Why don't you take a chill pill and listen to some nice music?
Go out for a walk and enjoy some sunshine?
Cook and enjoy a good meal, or paint a picture?

Yanno, do something pleasant for a change?
Achieve some peace in your life?

What? The European model of life? The EU failed its small promise, shrugged its shoulders, and made a smaller promise for 2025:

The European Union (EU) will reportedly fall short of its promise to provide Ukraine with one million artillery shells by March 1, 2024, as European leaders call on EU member states to intensify deliveries of ammunition to Ukraine. Bloomberg reported on January 31 that Western diplomats stated that EU partners will only deliver 600,000 artillery shells to Ukraine by the March 1, 2024 deadline.[20] European Union (EU) Internal Market Commissioner Thierry Breton stated on January 20 that the EU will have the capacity to produce one million shells per year by March or April 2024 and will ensure that it delivers the “majority” of the shells to Ukraine.[21] German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, Danish Prime Minister Metter Frederiksen, Czech Prime Minister Petr Fiala, Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas, and Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte acknowledged that the EU fell short of its promise to deliver one million shells to Ukraine by March 2024 in a letter published by the Financial Times on January 31.[22] The letter noted that new orders for artillery ammunition will not reach the battlefield in Ukraine until 2025 and urged the EU to find ways to accelerate the delivery of promised shells to Ukraine, either through provisions of existing stocks or through joint procurement efforts.[23]

The EU doesn't want to strain itself. It is simpler and quicker to surrender to circumstances. Let the Russians and Trumptards take what they want because they really, really want it bad.

France wishes to turn the Ukraine war into a welfare program for EU defense contractors.
Average Europeans are cheese-eating surrender monkeys and the Russians know it.

War chest funds

Leaders from the bloc’s 27 member states hope to sign off on the latest update of the European Peace Facility, a Brussels war chest used to fund arms transfers to Ukraine, at a summit on Thursday.

On the negotiating table is a €5 billion (£4.2 billion) top-up to the fund, but also a shift away from reimbursing countries’ military donations to Kyiv to financing arms production.

The latest scheme, which will only guarantee deliveries for the rest of the year, marks a step back from previous plans to finalise a four-year commitment of €20 billion.

France is pushing to ensure the money is only funnelled through European arms manufacturers in joint procurement orders by the member states.

Ukraine’s survival: Three scenarios for the war in 2024

Russia has gained the upper hand in its war on Ukraine. To reverse Moscow’s progress, the West will need to invest more in supporting Kyiv. With this in mind, here are three scenarios for what could happen in 2024

By Gustav Gressel | 31 January 2024

https://ecfr.eu/article/ukraines-survival-three-scenarios-for-the-war-
in-2024
/

Last year, I sketched out how Russia’s war on Ukraine might unfold during the course of 2023. Since that time, the conflict has drifted towards the more negative end of expectations. Over the past year, Ukraine was unable to reverse many of Russia’s territorial gains, and by the winter Moscow had regained the strategic initiative.

At the end of 2022, Russia was in a worse predicament than Ukraine is now, but after hitting this low it found ways to fix its main problems. It began to innovate in terms of its military tactics in order to use its forces more effectively, used innovative recruitment tactics to fill its ranks, and transitioned towards a war economy to increase production of much-needed equipment.

In contrast, the West failed to enact the policies necessary to ease Ukraine’s materiel shortages. Over 2023, there was no concerted defence-industrial effort to resupply Ukraine with armoured fighting vehicles of various kinds. Even the production of ammunition is a long way behind schedule, particularly in Europe: of the 2.3 million shells used by Ukraine in 2023, only 300,000 were European. Joint European procurement initiatives on ammunition only became a reality in late 2023, and similar initiatives for military equipment will get going by 2024 at the earliest.

The time this takes to materialise exacerbates Ukraine’s dependency on American support, with the US presidential election in November likely to determine the country’s fate. While current budgetary battles in the United States and partisan fights over military assistance have kicked in earlier than expected, Europeans nevertheless failed to use the last 12 months to prepare for this turn of events. The European Union’s much-vaunted strategic autonomy goal is a mirage.

As I predicted a year ago, there is no ceasefire, no negotiation, and no stalemate. Time and again, Vladimir Putin has made clear his aim is not to conquer just 20 per cent of Ukraine. In his mind, Russia and Ukraine are one, and the existence of an independent Ukrainian nation is an anti-Russian plot cooked up through foreign interference. His speech to the Russian defence ministry last month reconfirmed this ambition. He wants to annex the eastern and southern parts of Ukraine and would likely be content to turn the remainder into an occupied puppet state, little different to today’s Belarus.

Furthermore, Putin’s political aim is to re-establish Russia as a new great power, reshaping the political order of Europe. Re-establishing the “unity” of Russia-Ukraine-Belarus is the precondition for this resurrection. A true ceasefire, or the abandonment of further attempts to conquer Ukraine, would for Putin mean not only the abandonment of his aspirations in that country, but his entire political vision for the future international order. He has invested immense resources in this gamble and will not easily reconsider, if not forced to do so. For these reasons, only binary outcomes are possible: either Russia wins or Ukraine wins.

2024 will be the most challenging time for Ukraine since the first two months of the full-scale invasion

Given Western hesitation to ramp up arms production, and the lack of planning for the period after the counter-offensive, 2024 will be the most challenging time for Ukraine since the first two months of the full-scale invasion. By mid-2023, Kyiv had more or less given up relying on the West to resupply it with what it needed to sustain the war: drones, electronic warfare systems, and armoured combat vehicles such as tanks and infantry fighting vehicles. The Ukrainian government looked at producing these locally and initiated an ambitious programme not on

You must have flunked out of college because the Professors wouldn't give you the personal instruction you felt was your due, but rather they left it to you to make the connections in your head, all by yourself. (P.S. 6ix, you made the wrong connections in college. Make this connection: you and Signym are mistaken if you think I believe you are real. You are the meat versions of spam bots. "Trump will be fine? He will be your next President?" 6ix, do you recall writing those words thousands of times? The catchphrase with Signym is "Blah-blah-blah" written thousands of times. You two are spam bots.)
