⚡The European Union on Monday frustrated Ukraine’s urgent plea for more air defence capabilities by failing to come up with concrete commitments at a meeting of foreign and defence ministers.

“We can prevent the worst-case scenarios if we act together and without fear. We need concrete and bold decisions today,” Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba told his EU counterparts via videolink.

“Now that you are all here at the table, it’s time to act, not to debate.”

Ukraine has asked for seven additional US-made Patriot air defence systems capable of shooting down Russia’s hypersonic missiles — but is keen to get any help it can.

So far only Germany has answered Kyiv’s call by saying it would send an extra Patriot system to Ukraine.

Several EU nations possess the systems, including Germany, Greece, the Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Spain and Sweden.

Patriots SAM shooting down hypersonic missiles when they can't even shoot down ordinary KH-101 cruise missiles is the fattest rambling of the year. cool

I just tire. They're very good at hiding their casualty figures. Ukranians learnt from them.

Missile strikes on a 10 story residential building but only 1 wounded.

Donald Trump once said that hundreds of people die from each of those Russian strikes on high rise buildings in Ukraine, even though they claim no one was hurt.


🤡 🤡 🤡

Exactly bro.
Only God knows what US and isreal have been hiding for so long.
Back in the days when I was always swallowing all isreal's propagandas, you will hear in the news IDF killed 50 Hamas but 2 isrealis soldiers died and 1 wounded.
Then there will be the boasting that IDF as so trained that for every 1 IDF that dies, 30 Hamas are dead.
Like a1 to 30 ratio and I will be wondering if those rebels are actually that dumb but now, I don't believe their figures again.
Believe me, since October 7, isrealis soldiers that would have died in Gaza will be close to 5,000 and may wounded.
How will you tell me about 1000 tanks are destroyed yet only 140 IDF died? It doesn't make sense because each tank always have a crew of atleast 3/4 inside plus many infantries around it guiding it from attack.
So a tank bombed with rpg will likely take minimum of 5 soldiers with it times the number of tanks blown.
Add up other attacks, those killed in buildings,those cleared in traps etc and you will be amazed at isreal's loss.
This is the reason they have been angry and going all out to kill Palestine civilians because they are suffering huge casualties

Stop bitching about your government like an ingrate child who can't see beyond what's in front of him. Be a smart Nigerian youth. The creators of Andella, Paystack and Piggyvest were mostly likely younger than you and they excelled in the same Nigeria.

Let me repeat my point no 4 slowly and boldly:

You can determine your future. As bad as our economy is, many smart youths are taking advantage of IT, freelancing, E-commerce, content creation, agribusiness value chain businesses and other business to find success instead of bitching about the government. North Koreans don't have that luxury.

And what if their biggest trade partner is still their biggest enemy looking for their downfall in every way, will you still keep trading with him strengthening him?

Maybe you but anyone that as been following the relationship between Russia and Iran since those drones deal knew that Iran got something bigger and better in return.

Those drones saved Russia military billion of dollars because instead of wasting billions on missiles, the drones costed is very cheap.

Iran and NK got Russia technology transfer, everyone gain.
Where it sealed it all is when Iran attacked Israeli directly from homeland, nobody has ever tried that, we are talking about over 100 drones and missiles combined.

You don’t do that to Israeli without something better behind it

To me,I think this issue of nuclear bombs don't really carry much weight again.
The US has a bunker bomb that is designed to blow up whatever bunker or hole all your bombs are.
So to me it makes no much sense if all the bombs you have can be blown off wherever you keep them with bunker bombs.

⚡Denmark will transfer ALL its remaining F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine after re-equipping with F-35s.

As of 2023, Denmark had 44 F-16AM and F-16BM fighters, of which 24 aircraft were sold to Argentina in April 2024.

Thus, Denmark will transfer a total of 19 F-16 fighters to Ukraine in several batches without a specific deadline.

Western countries agreed to transfer to Ukraine only about 65 F-16 fighters in various modifications, among which, in addition to 19 aircraft from Denmark, there should be 24 aircraft from the Netherlands and 22 from Norway.

LOL. Are you just realizing this. 😂😂😂

The thousands of nuclear warheads between USA and Russia alone is enough to destroy each and every city on earth. By the time real WW3 happens, it won't matter who is pro-West or anti-West; who is right or wrong, everybody will lose. No winner. That's why they call it MAD - mutually assured destruction.

Over 200B have been spent on Ukraine.
Those money goes back to USA elites and USA government, reason USA government always spend money on war.
Within the next 2 months they will inform Ukraine that the money has finished, that’s how USA law makers can be rich.
Since FBI will arrest any corrupt politician, funding war is the way out.
USA government have billions of dollars weapons that need to be sold, they need to fund war to sell them.
They are overpriced weapons but they employed over 500K workers .
USA need conflicts around the world to function, reason they operate more militarily based more than anyone. They are the Roman Empire of our time.
Same method
One of the biggest economy in the world yet have no free medical healthcare, no free tuition.

Russia have all those and same goes for all the advanced countries.

So also, war and selling weapons have always been ways US prop up her economy by trying to balance her trade deficit.
In the absence of war and weapons to sell, the lifestyle of the US, the hourly pay of workers and so many more is not sustainable and they will always have a huge trade deficit with other manufacturing countries.
So to balance the trade, they have to create wars and supply if possible both sides weapons, give aids etc and all these money are -
1. Not leaving the shores of US. It will reflect in their trade balance that they used those money to produce weapons and aids supplied to the fighting parties thereby allowing them to write off some deficits.
2. The supplied parties eg. Ukraine after the war would have to pay back for yearssssssss a money she actually not received, rather an over priced weapon she now needs to start paying back with physical resources like oil, grains, uraniums etc.
3. Most destroyed areas would be reconstructed by American companies and allies thereby keeping their companies afloat and in jobs, creating jobs for their citizens as expats, and getting returns as tax and capital flight or return back to US.
4. The weapons sold are over bloated in price.
You are receiving a weapon that shouldn't cost more than 5,000 but been given at 100,000 to pay back with your sweat and generations for years, if possible use it as a medium of holding your country in hostage and forcefully changing your country's laws to abide and favour US.
It is a very big industry for US with a well tested cash generating system year in, year out.
Zelensky is putting the unborn Ukrainians in chains that will take forever for them to come out from.
The US is not stupid picking him as a president.
It is a calculated and we'll spent money.
They have checked the profiles of people that possibly fits that plan and zelensky a comedian actually fits it perfectly and doing a very nice job.
And they already have so many countries lined up to sustain their economy for years to come.
If Ukraine/Russia war goes down, they need to activate the china/Taiwan own after.
Iran/Isreal own as also been primed down. When they are ready, they can always activate it too and more countries are still coming into the plan.
They won't stop, it is not possible for them

this will likely be the last package ukraine will receive till the election and probably the last package so they need all the equipment they can get their hands on, they will likely target the bridge to score a propaganda victory when they keep losing cities after cities.
At the end it's either a negotiation or a world war nothing like Ukraine victory neither will Russia lose.
