The cost of an Abrams tank is over $10 million. The cost of one javelin is $250,000. This was the first Abrams spotted in operation in Ukraine. It did not last three days.
Consider:
The public support for this war against Russia was fabricated by the government and media. They used it to send money and weapons in this proxy war which resulted in the deaths of at least 400,000 Ukrainians. Now that the truth is coming out concerning NATO aggression since 2014 in Ukraine and Russian forces, Congress is not sending “aid” to this lost cause at present. Washington’s options are now limited to admitting defeat or escalating the war with ground troops.
Admitting defeat in an election year is not an option for this illegal government. Escalating the war with ground troops will be the start of WWIII and a nuclear war. Putin believes we are already in WWIII and I agree. The United States does not have the necessary equipment, military or leadership to win a world war. As Russia has already stated: they will not lose a war when they have the nuclear weapons to prevent it.
As for comments rebutting the above, please document with facts why you disagree.
