Krasnov Isn't Sending Ukraine The Weapons That Will Enable It To Win The War

I was wrong, Krasnov, through Germany, sent Ukraine Patriot missiles. Krasnov sent Ukraine 155 mm shells, the shells my cousin shot in Vietnam.

I said that Krasnov wouldn't send Ukraine "any" weapons, I was wrong, he is sending Ukraine bare boned weapons.

Krasnov also gave Putin 50 days to continue his bombings of Ukrainian cities before he decides whether to put sanctions on countries that do business with Russia, that will hurt Russia, I doubt that will happen.

I post a lot using absolutes, it is one of my faults I will work on.

I want to make the point that had Putin been elected President of the United States, I doubt that he would do little different than Krasnov is doing. I stand by my opinion that Krasnov is being guided by Putin and greedy billionaires.

Isn’t that the most common size of artillery ammo?

I know long range missiles would be helpful, although Ukraine seems to be doing pretty well with using drones for long range attacks on Russian soil.

My hope is over the next year, Europe and the UK (and maybe Canada) will step in to the void to help Ukraine win this war decisively. And then Ukraine can cut a minerals deal with the EU, and give the US a hearty “fuck you”.
