Ukraine receives 12 Patriot missiles per month from US, Zelensky says. Ukraine needs to intercept around 150 Russian ballistic missiles per month, but receives about 150 Patriot missiles from the U.S. annually, according to President Volodymyr Zelensky.

OK, so the Trump admin went for the headline that it sold the missiles to Ukraine.

But has delayed the delivery so that Pres Putin can gain yet more advantage?

Sure. Trump should sell some Patriots to Russia, while he's at it.

I mean, provided they can pay.

That's all that matters, right?

Because like you he is a dick. And like you he apparently cannot do the math.

Supporting Ukraine while they denigrate Russias military and their economy is the one of the best foreign policy investments in the security of America we could possibly make.

Meanwhile we are wasting hundreds of billions of dollars in wasted manpower weapons and infrastructure on Iran. With no tangible security benefits in sight.

Brilliant!!

Is "denigrate" the right word here? You think Ukraine is "belittling" Russias military? LOL Perhaps.

So .... what Lumpers are saying is 500 million Europeans expect 300+ million Americans to protect them from 120 million Russians who can't even defeat 40 million Ukrainians?

While at the same tie those 500 million Europeans are being conquered by 2 billion Muslims who claim they are being genocided by 8 million Israelis.

LOL Americans are so full of themselves.

Did they?

This is a new one.

Different Russia?

"The United States has approved the SALE of 500 Patriot missiles to Ukraine"

If this is anything like an Israeli "sale", it means the US is giving money to Raytheon and Lockheed.

Patriot Missile is a Boomer era system that is designed to forget what time it is, just like a Boomer.

That's about the only part of the comment that makes sense.
