    Yep. Spooky.

    The army recruiter wanted to sign me up and get me into computers. This was in the 80s when people with computer experience were few and far between. That didn't sound like much fun. I wanted to blow stuff up.

    Retired Four Star General David H. Petraeus on Radio Free Ukraine


    David H. Petraeus, Director of the CIA (2011-2012): (ukrinform.net)

    Radio Free Ukraine is humbled and honored to have helped bring the advice and wisdom of Retired Four Star General David H. Petraeus to the people of Ukraine.

    We asked General Petraeus to speak directly to the Ukrainian people based on his 37 years as a professional soldier, as a commander of men from an infantry platoon to all Allied forces in combat. No other commander on earth has more experience with modern warfighting and the global dynamics of war better than General Petraeus. The General knows the Russian military well, and studied them from his days at West Point in the 1970s until today, literally, not figuratively.

    Tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs) of Modern Warfare continue to evolve by the minute. The General says exactly what he thinks about the Ukrainian people, and exactly what he thinks about the Russian military. His words are unfiltered and his insights are actionable, not theoretical. Profound advice given directly to the Ukrainian people, and secondarily the world.

    We are also honored to help Ukrinform in their ongoing commitment to speaking TRUTH to power. Radio Free Ukraine is an all volunteer independent grassroots network, and receives no financial support from any source; nor is affiliated with any government, corporation or NGO. We are simply volunteers inside Ukraine and on multiple continents, who understand that if Ukraine loses, the entire world loses. Ukraine will win, and the world is getting a lesson in courage and absolute resolve as stated by General Petraeus.

    Stay tuned for a series of five videos from the interview in Ukrainian, English and Russian language on our YouTube channel and to be shared with Ukrainian people from our friends at Ukrinform media.

    Sl?va Ukray?ni!

    I have to admit it's amazing and a bit scary what Ukraine has been able to do with commercial drones and military ammunition.

    Fire in the hole!

    I wish technology solved people issues. It seems to just reveal them.

    I didn't go by Johnny Drama then either. My release from active duty was in December 88. There are quite a few Marine vets around here though.

    What is the tangible benefit of the United States backing Ukraine?

    Another billion dollars today.

    What is the US gaining by sending all this money? It is not a loan. It is not an investment.

    How much have other NATO countries contributed?

    https://www.nato.int/cps/en/natohq/topics_192648.htm

    NATO condemns in the strongest possible terms Russia's brutal and unprovoked war against Ukraine - which is an independent, peaceful and democratic country, and a close NATO partner. The Alliance calls on President Putin to stop this war immediately, withdraw all his forces from Ukraine and engage in genuine diplomacy.


    Thanks, guys.

    Not investing it in us, that's for sure. I'm so sick of our government screwing us.

    They contributed 3.8b euro since February. Either in weapons, humanitarian help, taking in refugees, and pledges for the reconstruction.

    This is a war by proxy against Russia and we need to win it, so that we get rid of Putin and send a clear warning to china that the world can be united against bullies. We have a once in history opportunity to force a major political change in Russia… this is priceless.

    Putin is going to die soon anyway, I don't see how spending fortunes and screwing our economy even further is better for us than waiting him out.

    And Ukraine isn't going to win no matter how much money we spend. So to that end it's a waste anyway.

    And BTW, lots of that money is buying Ukrainian important people new mansions in other countries where they can escape to. It's not directly helping the war by any means.
