Just. Fucking. DO IT.

And give them more funding and all the help we can, take it out of the Israel budget (I wish).

Working on??? Dude. It takes one call.

"Yo, Zelenskyy, Biden here. You know those long range weapons we gave you? Well, go ahead. Use them.

.......sooooo, how's things?"

One phone call and a literal act of congress...

Haha Trump v. United States go brrrrr

I regret that the Democrats aren't abusing (to whatever degree doing exactly what they said counts) the shit out of that ruling. This is why the other guys win.

Bonus points if it's fucking with the justices personally. Telling the IRA to adjust someone's taxes upwards sounds like an "official action"...

"Adjust their taxes?" That's it? You and I have wildly different ideas of what "fucking with the justices personally" would look like. I was thinking more in terms of aquatic mammals...

Then again, with that Freudian slip on your three-letter acronym, maybe we're not on such different pages after all, LOL!

Lol, I plead not American, I've never had to deal with the IRS.

Working out.. probably some dos and donts. I have no clue how the restrictions are enshrined in a law or something.. and possibly arranging some more stocks if the use case is expanded.

Working on giving Putin all the time in the world to move all the important shit to safety so there's no actual chance of "escalation"

300km from the front leaves a hell of a logistics gap. Although dozens of burning migs and sukhois would have been better.

[–] fluxion@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

It's not just that, they have plenty of time to create more routes, depots, spread out munitions, etc. because Biden has been slow-rolling it for so long while everyone already knows its inevitable

There might be restrictions on exporting that tech to Russia

[–] takeda@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

It takes time, I just messaged him asking for it yesterday.

But seriously. I would love to learn that it was lifted from a news that Ukrainians hit some remote airfield. Why are they making a PR show from it and giving Russia time to prepare?

[–] BombOmOm@lemmy.world 22 points 2 months ago

Fuck yeah, make it happen!

[–] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I'm glad to hear it. I guess that the incursion into Kursk made Biden reconsider as Russia's "red line" has crumbled.

[–] ladicius@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

About fucking time.
