Purposely targeting civilians is a tactic that Putin has used since the onset of this war. Trump/Hegseth response…our dear leader has decided to pause the deployment of Patriot air defense systems. Hegseth states that it could bring our stockpiles down too low, which has been debunked by multiple sources. We already have stockpiles in Poland ready to go, so this is nothing more than a political move to force the Ukrainians to give up and accept the Russian aggression. Trump=gaping vagina.

does not make it true. Who are these multiple sources, and what is their source to challenge the statement of the Sec of Defense who has far better access to accurate information than anyone?
You may choose to believe these other sources, but it is a choice shaded by your distrust of this administration. Is there any more to it than your bias?
Liberalism Rule #16 - The Expert Threshold. If a false narrative has enough “experts” backing it, it becomes truth regardless of evidence to the contrary. “Experts” are defined as those who support the narrative, and they can be conjured if necessary
...................note that this rule can apply to your sources and MSM as well.
Ready for deployment. Again, Trump is appeasing Putin trying to strong arm the Ukraine into giving up. Putin basically told Trump to go fuck himself on their “phone call” today.
If Trump starts playing hardball with the savage, I’ll give him kudos like I did the Iran strike. I doubt it happens.
And Lockheed.
It’s a pussy move by Trump because he worships Putin. He’s a president of Russian appeasement. Seriously…is there nothing Trump does that you didn’t toss off to? You have serious issues and possible daddy issues. Is Trump your daddy?
It looks to me like Trump’s pushing them both to come to the table for peace.
You have no trust….that’s the issue here. And of course, Trump isn’t sharing info behind the scenes with you about dealing with the Savage Putin and The Green Camo Dictator Wanna Be Zelensky.

He doesn’t want peace. As I’ve mentioned multiple times, only ONE of the two has shown up to peace talks and it ain’t Putin. You think he’s serious about peace? Trump kowtows to him. Why? You constantly blame the victim just like Trump. Putin and Russia are to blame for the war.
And the proof is in the pudding…the delay in delivering needed weapons costs lives.
tp Ukraine.
Wtf more do you want?! Boots on the ground?
TDS.
Why the delay? The weapons were already allocated and in positioned in Poland? Dumb strategy. Shows Trump’s lack of foreign policy chops. He’s Putin’s bitch.

...the govt paying for in vitro/fertility procedures is absurd.
...I am for deportation of the criminal illegals, but I want a pathway provided to those who are law abiding and able to contribute (not holding the infirm illegals to that standard of having to contribute).
...He should have STFU about Canada - his mockery of Trudeau because of his severe dislike of Son of Castro caused a backlash that allowed the election of an uber lib PM when they were ready to elect a conservative.
...I like his tariff policy approach, but he bit off WAY too much at once. He should have focused on out main enemy (China) first, and then EU and others in sequence rather than cause chaos by doing everyone at once.
There are others...this is just off the top of my head.
But you haters are so 24/7 in your attacks that I absolutely will defend. I want to help the underdog....and that is what Trump is what with everything Libs have thrown at him and done to him over the last 10 years.
He also wants what is best for the USA, and I love that. I might not always agree, but I know that he is sincere because no one would have gone through what he has when he didn't otherwise have to except that he wanted to help the country survive the Obama Transformation. And he has succeeded.
This idiotic policy deserves criticism. The delay is inexcusable.
states that you disagree with Trump policies. Actually, since you voted for this scumbag, you do support 100% of what he does and says. Isn’t that your stance on those that didn’t vote for Trump? What’s good for the goose is good for the gander, yes?
It’s healthy not to be a sheep.
That’s the part I don’t understand with the left and many of that side on this board, no matter what tow that stupid party line.
I don’t need the RNC at all or Trump, or whoever to tell me how to think or vote.
Trumpers claim that EVERYONE who didn’t vote for Trump libs or lefties. Don’t consider Condi Rice, Dick Cheney, George Bush, all lefties? How about the 40 plus former cabinet members from Trump’s 1st term? There’s a reason they wouldn’t work for him again and it’s on display x 100 this second term.
I’m very comfortable with my vote and who’s president especially considering the alternative.
Again, I do not agree with a lot he has done and mostly says off the cuff.
I say it all the time just stfu. Good news for me is not as much as his first term.
I’m done, headed to the horse races in Hollywood, then to Hard Tock Casino 🎰

What's worse is that his economy is slowing imploding and he could never afford to occupy a huge country with 40 million people who hate him and Russians.
The only thing he has is millions and millions and millions of serfs who are among the most uninformed and impoverished people on earth.
There is a 4 year backlog on some missile production, per the WSJ.
Russia is so incompetent. They should be able to overwhelm Ukraine, regardless of supplies from the West, but they can't. Amazing. Obviously not as big of a threat as we thought. Time refocus on China. We shouldn't make the same mistake Putin is making, fighting as if the Soviet Union were viable and real.
Don't get me wrong. I am 100% on Ukraine's side here. If we have enough missiles to give to Ukraine and to deter China, great. I'm not sure we do.
war.

Patriot Missile System. Also, the weapons were already allocated and positioned in Poland ready to be deployed. The delay costs lives. Trump is such a transactional president. He has no policies.
The cunt needs to authorize delivery now and quit playing dumb games with savages. Oh, he’s withholding 105mm artillery rounds too. Makes so much sense…not.
one giving it to them.
In Trump's case, her was trying to get Russia to the table. It didn't work...so you move on.
then, after Russia's continued it's own missile attacks. he agreed to send them, without raising any concerns for depleted stockpiles of those weapons.
Here's a Google AI summary of the issue...
-------------------
AI Overview
Yes, at various times, the Biden administration did initially refuse to provide Patriot missile systems and other advanced weapons to Ukraine.
Specifically:
In March 2022, the U.S. initially declined to send Patriot air defense systems to Ukraine, expressing concerns about potentially provoking Russia.
However, in December 2022, after nine months, the Biden administration reversed course and agreed to send Patriot batteries to Ukraine.
In June 2024, the Biden administration decided to redirect the delivery of Patriot missiles that were meant for other countries to Ukraine. This was described as a difficult but necessary decision to bolster Ukraine's air defenses in the face of intensified Russian attacks.
It's important to note the shift in policy: While there was an initial reluctance, the Biden administration ultimately provided Patriot missile systems and continued to send aid to Ukraine. In fact, as of July 2024, the Biden administration was still announcing security assistance for Ukraine, including funding for Patriot system interceptors.
Recent developments (July 2025): There have been reports of the U.S. (under the Trump administration) halting some weapons shipments, including Patriot interceptor missiles, to Ukraine. This decision has been attributed to a review of U.S. military stockpiles and has drawn criticism.

It only emboldened Putin to up the attacks…which he did. Anyone could see that coming.

And I don’t buy the “low stockpile” excuse. Seems like more Russian appeasement to me.

And never underestimate a fully mobilized US military. There’s no country in the world capable of mass producing effective instruments of combat like the US. We’re in no danger of depleting our stockpiles by sending arms to Ukraine.
If war with China breaks out, it will be near Taiwan. The various islands will have missile armed units. Marines already practicing deployments there.
That makes zero sense if China can’t deploy troops effectively. They have 2 aircraft carriers. We outnumber China in terms of fighter aircraft. We have a combat experienced military…China does not. On top of all that, if China goes to war with us, they would destroy their economy.
We don't have as many missiles as they do "targets." So, yeah, numbers.
If China takes Taiwan, our economy would be ruined. Taiwan is a world leader in semiconductors (especially high quality semiconductors we don't want China to have), PCBs, and shipping infrastructure.

Both options would be costly and deadly. We would own the air within hours and I’d put my money on the US Navy over the Chinese navy everyday and twice on Sunday.
Our supply lines are several orders of magnitude more difficult, and they have men to spare/cull.
Our weapons take longer to make, and our ties to NATO ensure that our supply lines for some missiles depend on delivery from multiple nations, like Norway, and from other countries who may not be concerned about China. We don't make all of our ammo anymore.
And, China is a manufacturing powerhouse compared to us...like the US was when compared to Germany and Japan in 1935.
Having said all that, we agree on one thing: We both hope I'm wrong and you are right.
