Zelenskyy implores world leaders to stick with fight against Russia
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.
