The source added that the UK’s weapons stockpiles are so diminished that the UK had “nothing” left and it was better for them to lobby the Germans.

You heard em folks, pile into the boat cause we're taking over England

We are starting now? This late? To "aim to" ramp up?

Bit late I'd say.

Don't let this fool you. Europe has been supporting Ukraine since the start of the war. They also are giving them more now than what US is.

Donald Trump was the first US president to send weapons to Ukraine and every politician in the world knows this

[-] davel@lemmy.ml 13 points 10 months ago

Sorry sweaty but that’s not the Atlantic Council approved narrative. Trump is a Putin puppet because pee pee tapes.

[-] Urist@lemmy.ml 5 points 10 months ago

Not an american here, but is it not the congress that allocates funds and the president only signs off on it? My understanding was that Trump tried to get a quid pro quo in order to follow it through.

[-] freagle@lemmygrad.ml 5 points 10 months ago

Biden is currently bypassing Congress to sell weapons to Israel, so no, Congress is not solely responsible for weapons sales. Trump did withhold lethal aid from Ukraine for quid pro quo. That was after the first ever sales of weapons though. So he both made the first sales and also did the witholding of additional sales some time later.

This is great and all, but ...the times? Aren't they a total trash/rag paper?

[-] CaptainPedantic@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

In my mildly educated opinion, I wouldn't say so. The Sun, The Daily ~~Heil~~ Mail, and The Daily Mirror are rags. The Times has its issues, as any paper does, but I wouldn't call it a rag. It's a center right paper with high factual reporting.

[-] ShimmeringKoi@hexbear.net 6 points 10 months ago

Well unless they've also invented a time machine to send those weapons back to like 1992...

Pretty hilarious that the imbeciles running Europe think they can just create a whole military industrial complex out of whole cloth. These are the same kind of clowns who think that food just magically appears in the supermarket. They have no concept of logistics, supply chains, energy production, or a skilled work force required for such an endeavour. This is what happens when a bunch of media people start running countries. They just think everything is like a movie, and that they can just print weapons the way they print money. 🤣

Really wish we wouldn't because that money could be used in our country. People duying on the street from cold, malnutrition, homelessness. But we're sending money to a country that's doomed to fail its war effort and last year vetod a very generous peace deal that Russia proposed. Screw that.

Oh, you mean the "very generous peace deal" where Russia got to keep all the land it invaded, the children it stole, and the materials it looted - at least until they re-grouped their military and decided to take the next bite out of Ukraine? Fuck that "very generous peace deal".

[-] teichflamme@lemm.ee 0 points 10 months ago

It's really only very generous if you're absolutely mentally handicapped. No sane person would take this deal

[-] yogthos@lemmy.ml -1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

And the deal will be much worse now with hundreds of thousands more people having died. All because imbeciles who didn't have to fight themselves kept repeating these psychotic points. Blood of hundreds of thousands is on the hands of people like you. You lot dragged this war out and caused incomprehensible misery all for nothing.
