I salute the generosity of the Slovak government in providing an S-300 air defense system - a critical defensive capability - to Ukraine. It’s a strong testament to how determined Ukraine’s neighbors are to help the Ukrainians defend themselves against Russia’s unprovoked invasion of their homeland. Of course, the United States will continue to coordinate with our Allies and partners to support the needs of the Ukrainian military and people. We also recognize Slovakia for its extraordinary humanitarian assistance efforts and for hosting thousands of Ukrainian refugees.
At my direction, and at the invitation of Slovakia, U.S. European Command will reposition one Patriot missile system, manned by U.S. service members, to Slovakia. We expect this battery and its crew to arrive in coming days. Their deployment length has not yet been fixed, as we continue to consult with the Slovak government about more permanent air defense solutions.
This deployment of Patriot capabilities to Slovakia aligns perfectly with our previous efforts to bolster NATO’s defensive capabilities and to demonstrate our collective security requirements under Article 5 of the NATO treaty. It complements the NATO multinational battlegroup in eastern Slovakia, which includes air defense elements from Germany and the Netherlands.
Again, I thank the government of Slovakia for their willingness to assist Ukraine in its long-range air defense needs. This is just another example of the strength of our Alliance, and how President Putin's actions have brought about the very strengthening of NATO that he claimed he was trying to prevent. Every step we take is intended to deter aggression and reassure our Allies.
Us personal will be manning patriot missle defense systems.

Special operations soldiers being deployed to Kyiv to defend embassy.
Biden administration is considering sending US Special Operations Forces to protect its embassy in Kyiv: The Biden Administration is in the early stages of potentially sending special operations forces (SOF) into Ukraine for the very limited mission of helping guard the US Embassy in Kyiv, according to several US officials. The idea of using SOF is in very preliminary stages and has not yet been presented to US President Joe Biden for a decision, the sources said. The embassy was reopened last week after being closed for about three months. For now, the embassy and its limited number of personnel are protected by State Department diplomatic security officials. US Marines typically guard US embassies around the world but in Kyiv, for now, there is a general agreement that the typical Marine Corps embassy guard personnel may not be suited to the uncertain security picture in Ukraine without additional forces, officials say.

Most people in this thread get their information from propaganda and have no idea what the reality is. Will this make them question their information sources? Of course not.
Henry Kissinger knows.

Kissinger said the war must not be allowed to drag on for much longer, and came close to calling on the West to bully Ukraine into accepting negotiations on terms that fall very far short of its current war aims.
The comments came amid growing signs that the Western coalition against Putin is fraying badly as the food and energy crisis deepens, and that sanctions have reached their limits.
We have people in this thread that honestly believed Russia was running out of ammunition two weeks into the invasion and that Ukraine was going to steamroll Russia with the help of The West.

When is Ukraine and The West going to end this nonsense and give Russia the territory they want? They got outplayed. Now it’s just a matter of how much suffering Ukraine and The West endures before they capitulate. Nice job Biden Administration! You couldn’t have done any worse.
i_am_always_intoxicated raises a fair point
afterall we know that if chump was still in office he would have already capitualted and yielded to putin as his master
we know this from chumps previous behavior , especially in helsinki , when we all watched our president drape himself in old glory , drop his skirt , then bend over in front of "vladdycakes," and hand putin a bottle of lube
thats the trumpism way of international diplomacy

It amounts to a genuine arsh kicking by a group of peasant farmers. They failed in their offensive to take Kyiv And have retreated to the eastern edge of Ukraine. So in a failed invasion they get land???? Sharp as milk jug move ....
Terrific point Russia is not negotiating from any position of strength. It's the other way around, in fact.
I say make a trade. Allow them to keep Crimea legally, but in return for permanently exiting Donbass, giving up the Kalingrad enclave to Poland, returning all Ukraine and Western citizens from Russian detention, and full reparations for all theft and damage they caused in Ukraine (including Donbass) or no deal.

Sadly, yes. His cult is completely ok with that policy too. In fact, because their warped view of Putin's attack on Ukraine as Putin vs. Joe Biden, the MAGA MOB is cheering for Putin.

@I_Need_A_Detox Give up territory??? Are you out of your mind? Maybe you bend over when the bully comes knocking on your door but as you know, that doesn't stop the bully from bending you over again, right?
Are you suggesting that Russia did the right thing by sticking up to NATO?

Ukraine is next. They have really solidify support amongst member nations. Personal connections are being made between military and solidarity against Russian aggression has really cemented the cause of defending freedom and sovereign territory
Shake oil and gasoline exports are up
Russia is weak

Russia actions couldn't have worked out better....

It appears that Ukrainian forces may have to retreat from their last pocket of resistance in Luhansk (East Region of Ukraine) to avoid being captured by advancing Russian troops.(*1)
At the same time, U.S. is preparing to ship multiple-launch rocket systems (MLRS) to Ukraine in this critical juncture. The MLRS and its lighter-weight version, the HIMARS, can launch as far as 300 kilometers (186 miles), depending on the type of munition.(*2)
Ukrainian forces urgently need more long range heavy artilleries as Russians advancing in some part of Donbas.

So the m777 howitzers delivered by the Canadians, and now these long-range U.S. MLR systems!

The Russian forces continue to gain significant ground in the eastern Donbas region, Ukraine desperately needs urgent help now. And I think those M777 howitzers and MLR systems will play vital role for the Ukrainian offensive now.

The pressing approval of multiple-launch rocket systems (MLRS) from the Biden Administration is imperative to the Ukraine. Ukrainian forces may have to retreat or are already retreating from Severodonetsk in the Luhansk region before the arrival of MLRS from U.S. in that Russian forces are closing in to trap the Ukrainian forces(*2).

WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) — The United States on Friday won the latest round of a legal battle to seize a $325-million Russian-owned superyacht in Fiji, with the case now appearing headed for the Pacific nation’s top court.
The case has highlighted the thorny legal ground the U.S. finds itself on as it tries to seize assets of Russian oligarchs around the world. Those intentions are welcomed by many governments and citizens who oppose the war in Ukraine, but some actions are raising questions about how far U.S. jurisdiction extends.
Fiji’s Court of Appeal on Friday dismissed an appeal by Feizal Haniff, who represents the company that legally owns the superyacht Amadea. Haniff had argued the U.S. had no jurisdiction under Fiji’s mutual assistance laws to seize the vessel, at least until a court sorted out who really owned the Amadea.
Haniff said he now plans to take the case to Fiji’s Supreme Court and will apply for a court order to stop U.S. agents sailing the Amadea from Fiji before the appeal is heard.

Thanks for the good news! That equipment is badly needed to help push back Putin's terrorists.
