    Honestly that’s more embarrassing than anything else, it’s just that Ukraine is lucky to be facing 0 scrutiny from anyone (on purpose).

    With the amount of money they’ve received, the amount and quality of weapons, the intelligence they’re getting, the foreign expert special forces they’re getting, it’s just inconceivable they haven’t retaken the whole of Ukraine in all that time. They also outnumner the Russian troops 1 to 4 at least.

    So either they’re the most incompetent army in the world (we know they’re not, if anything, they’re the most battle hardened) or more obviously: there is a massive corruption problem in Ukraine (not anything new) that means that the money and the hardware aren’t getting where they’re supposed to be.

    And for all the Ukraine flag shaggers out there: do you see the issue now? That armament is going to end up in the wild and unlike in Afghanistan, the US will have neither the will nor the power to retrieve it. That money? It’s going to end up - as expected - in the pockets of already well funded and established far right and nazi groups. Well done. Unless it was the intention from the start, I don’t know.

    Did you think ISIS was bad? You ain’t seen shit my dude. You’re about to get ISIS except backed by a powerful government equipped with the most lethal and modern equipment out there that will be able to deny you air superiority, with more military experience than any other army in the 21st century.
