Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy appeared somber and, at times, angry in a blistering address to the U.N. General Assembly on Tuesday, as he sought to shore up support for his country’s war effort and demand that Russia be punished for the invasion.
Wearing his trademark green fatigues at the dais at the front of the hall, Zelenskyy furrowed his brow as he called for other countries to recognize that Russia was not just a threat to Ukraine — but to the entire world. He appealed for other countries to help hold the line against Moscow, as “mass destruction is gaining momentum.”
“While Russia is pushing the world to the final war, Ukraine is doing everything to ensure that after Russian aggression, no one will dare to attack any nation,” Zelenskyy said.
U.S. could help put an end to this if they stopped pussy footing around and provided top tier weapon systems.
Honestly I’d guess they want to keep their top tier weapons a secret from the world. They don’t want China seeing how they work and developing a counter to it.
This isn’t about Area 51 flying saucers but ATACMS and the like. Over 30 years old by now you’re not preventing the Chinese from developing similar systems by not shipping it to Ukraine, China already has a very comparable system, barely younger.
It’s a rocket, that is, not exactly rocket science any more.
That’s fine. I’m thinking the U.S. isn’t even supplying 2nd grade level equipment. I believe there’s plenty of more sophisticated weapons that should be given to Ukraine.
Yes M1 Abrahms tanks are so shitty lol. Same with those HIMARS and Bradleys. /s
F16? Yeah ok. Sure. They’re old. I’ll give you that. Still effective though.
We don’t even give our top tier systems to places like Canada, the UK, and Australia when they buy American aircraft/surface platforms on contract. There’s no way in hell we’d send them off to Ukraine to potentially be revealed or captured.
Sure they could. Probably wouldn’t have any repercussions either.
Honestly, what’s the worst that would happen? Russia declares war on the US?
Oh no. I’m so scared.
nuclear holocaust. You should be afraid and everyone else
Either we die from climate change effects or from a nuclear war. Wow what a thrilling future we have.
Maybe it will force us to accelerate space development and then you can finally fulfill your dreams, spacecowboy.
Aight but can we please not make 6’ the max threshold? I want to be comfortable, please.
At least nuclear winter will cool shit down for a while. 😉
Patrolling the Mojave almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter.
How about we save that fear for the 15 minutes it will matter?
The US doesn’t want a swift end to this.
It’s unfair for Ukraine but Russia getting tangled up in this mess means they have less time and means to mess with the rest of the World. Hopefully, it will even accelerate Putin’s downfall.

Where do you get your news, oh enlightened one?
The internet, same place you do
I don’t recall asking you a god damn thing.
Give him a chance to switch back to the right account, he’s got 20 accounts to keep track of
Lol
from both sides and from historic perspectives. It is not that hard. You should try it too
“Everyone that has a different conclusion than me is misinformed” fucking lol
If most people on the planet see a different narrative, it should be trivial for you to show us the way.
That’s a bit of a false equivalency… so far the only places that have politically or materially supported Russia have been countries without a free press, or have a severely restricted press.
I don’t really see how the historic narrative supports your claim either. Russian governments have always seen Crimea as a very important strategic asset to conquer and hold.
Thb, there is no winning this war for anyone. If Russia was able to push into kieve and actually demand a unconditional surrender, they would have done it by now.
The best Russia can hope for now is a conditional surrender that allows them to keep hold over their most strategically important territories, namely their access to the black sea.
Meaning the best outcome was just the status quo of 2014. To achieve their conservation of the status quo they have wasted the vast majority of their war materials and trained personal. Even if they win, it cost them their ability to project hard power outside of eastern Europe.
Despite what you say, even in the worst case scenario Ukraine will have the forces to pursue a peace agreement, giving them time to rearm and resupply.
I think the whole point of the people of Ukraine fighting is that they believe the west interest and Ukraine’s interest are one in the same. I personally believe the west is more interested in destroying Russian hard power, but I’m not going to assert that I know more about Ukrainian interest more than the Ukrainian.
Ahh, so you are of the opinion that the rest of the world buys that Russia invaded Ukraine because of Nazism? Despite the fact that their pmc is named Wagner, and was founded by a self confessed neo nazi?
Its an obvious troll account. It was hoping someone would expend as much energy as you have on refuting its claims. It doesnt care that its wrong. Its only job is to keep you scrambling for counterpoints.
Eh, my rebuttal isn’t for their benefit, it’s for the benefit of those who may find it reasonable claim. Plus, it kills time between my appointments.
Fair enough. I hope we one day have some method to figure out these trolls immediately on posting and ban them.
found the russian troll
If what you said is true, why is Putin so intent on serving western interests? Is Putin a US puppet? What does that say about the Russian people that they just let themselves get drafted into a war and die by a US puppet leader all to benefit the West?
“Western propaganda” makes the West look incompetent, you make the West look all powerful and controlling.
