Russia warns against US escalation in Ukraine War.

Russia has warned against US escalation in the Ukraine War. Fox News. A Kremlin spokesman, Dimitry Peskov, said an increase in aid would  "(lead) to an aggravation of the conflict and, in fact, does not bode well for Ukraine." Zelenskyy's much ballyhooed visit to the United States was also not views positively by Russia, with Peskov saying it made any peace talks unlikely. The latest massive spending package to Ukraine will include Patriot Missile batteries and guided munitions' for Ukraine's air force. 

My Comment:

It was hard to find any article that was even remotely neutral on the Ukraine conflict today as most western media is busy drooling over Zelenskyy and his idiotic visit to Congress. At least this post from Fox News and the Associated Press gave Russian voices a chance to be heard. 

And I think that people should be listening what to Russia is saying. Everyone knows that a major offensive is coming and I think the main goal will be to cut off western supplies from NATO. The fact that the United States now wants to give Patriot missiles gives Russia a major incentive to target infrastructure and cut off these supplies. 

Sending guided bombs for Ukrainian fighter jets is an absolute joke as Ukraine's air force has been a non-factor for a long time. But the Patriot missile batteries? Probably not much of an impact either. They probably would threaten Russian air power but they haven't been used all that much either. It's just another example of NATO trying to send Wuderwaffen to Ukraine and it has largely failed. 

I think that Congress has underestimated how angry this is going to make Americans. Sure, there are a lot of people that do want to support Ukraine but there are millions of people in this country that cannot understand why Ukraine seems to get unlimited money for a war we don't even want while Americans get nothing.

And it's a bipartisan thing too, or at least it should be. The conservatives are wondering why Ukraine gets Patriot missiles but our border gets absolutely nothing. Liberals are wondering why Ukraine gets guided bombs while college students don't get their debt relieved. You can question if those are good goals or not but the fact is that for all the money we have wasted in Ukraine we could have, if not solved, we could have helped with these goals significantly. 

People are going to remember this. At a time when our borders are being invaded, while inflation spirals out of control, when crime runs rampent and when any of a dozen massive and dangerous problems aren't being dealt with, what is Congress focusing on? The foreign leader of a government that has done absolutely nothing for American citizens but has laundered our money into aid to the elite. 

What gets me about all of this is that Russia is pretty obviously winning the war. Ukraine has been taking unsustainable casualties for months now and is probably pretty damn close to collapse. Obviously if Ukraine was doing as well as western media sources were saying, why did Zelenskyy come to the United States with his hands out? All this money that we are sending to them? An utter waste of money and I wouldn't be surprised if the war ends with a massive NATO failure, assuming the war doesn't expand into World War III...
