The US tries to ramp up support for Ukraine | Charlotte McDonald-Gibson

Multiple news outlets, from the left and right, have said that the last aid only passed because 🇮🇱was included and even then it wasn't easy. It's highly unlikely there will be any more aid anytime soon for either, so whatever gains Ukraine procures, they no doubt know they havs to do so fast and try to hold onto it.

In the end, this is Europe's problem, collectively they can deal with 🇷🇺, they don't need their hand held anymore, and multiple European leaders have expressed this belief.

More and more agree with this, and being against 🇺🇸 involvement isn't pro-Putin anymore than anti-Iraq War was pro-Saddam, though BushBots may disagree.

Panic is setting in among the Neocon extremists as Ukraine circles the drain.

The USA should be leading the support not letting others lead them, the USA shouldn't think about it months later. Shocking USA for me. You might might provide the most weapons but been a leader I've lost faith in you. Time to have a new NATO leader that isn't from USA

Short of NATO troops in Ukraine, Ukraine is going to lose the war. What part of Russia has transformed into a war economy do Western leaders not understand? Russia can't back down at this point, once you go war economy, everything will collapse on a loss, so there is no exit ramp. And yet Western leaders think if they send this or that weapons, provide billions, allow Ukraine to attack inside Russia that Russia will eventually give up... they won't.

Send NATO troops to defeat Russia or have Ukraine negotiate away land and be forbidden from joining NATO already. This war is a waste of everyone's time.

Delusional. How many times have we heard, 'just send Ukraine the weapons, and they will finish the job'. They've just been sent more billions of dollars of weapons, and they are losing ground.

People are good at heart but if someone needs telling what is the right thing to do then we can't be shy in telling them

Israel and the United States are allies. Ukraine is a European nation fighting a war in Europe. Its aspirations are to join the European Union. Most Americans believe that Ukrainians should have the right to defend themselves, but they also feel that for that Europe should be paying for that support.

Warren Buffets son and the rest of you armchair Generals are a joke!

American farmers face a real dilemma. They believe in freedom, but Ukrainian farmers are a direct competitor to them. Their American tax dollars are going to their competition while they are struggling economically. They haven’t been nearly as violent as European farmers, because they typically serve different markets than the Ukrainians.

Judging by the rhetoric and lack of logic this is the female version of Ben Hodges.

I think most Americans are just laughing at the rushn' army😂😂😂😂 Kyiv in THREE DAYS! 😂😂😂😂

Europeans hated us 3 years ago. We were warmongers now we’re bad because some of us don’t want to be involved lol. A bunch of selfish countries in NATO. Where was all this in 2014? I thought defense spending wasn’t important

Cool

I think it's a disgrace that Ukraine is so unimportant in US. Of course, I understand it to a point that the rural population from the swing states never heard of Ukraine and don't know where it is, but the more educated and engaged part of the country should press on their elected leaders to put Ukraine on the top of the agenda cause this country have a potential to become the most important topic in the American politics since the 9/11.
People should realize, whether they're from rural Illinois or from the urban Maryland, whether they're idiots from MAGA or the morons that protest for HAMAS, that if Ukraine is beaten and Russia manages to take control of the country, we'll have millions of Americans going to war and potentially the same number of them dying...

What is Mrs Gibson talking about? There are current polls that clearly show that over 60% of the Americans support Ukraine with around 30% being pro Russian. These are great numbers and the support for Ukraine is on the rise..
Also I don't see this perceived success of the Russian propaganda, especially given that Mike Johnson was flipped with genuine intelligence data.. Sure there are some MAGA clown that wear t- shirts saying "Rather with Russians than with Democrats" but generally speaking, and despite it not being an important topic to Americans, there's still a healthy majority of the nation that is clearly pro NATO, pro Ukraine and anti Russian.

Charlotte is credible as a journalist however Biden has confused personal and national interests globally especially on Ukraine and Israel.

Shame the Ukrainians fell in this trap in the early 2010s.

Times Radio got desperate. They unlished their heavy artillery, the hysterical Western women🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I don't understand why this war is not a UK election issue. Who asked for it? Who wants it?

What a hypocrite Biden is. He's trying to ramp up support for Ukraine when he and Congress almost destroyed it! Macron is more human than the Congress and Biden!

want America to be great standing up for real democracies. India foreign minister says America is not great. Inspite of all the problems America should be the greatest

Shes another scaremonger, putin has lost over half a million men. Yet people like her talk nonsense about him invading another country. 😂😂

What's he ivading other countries with, old men woman pitchforks and carts. 😂

Support for Israel vs Ukraine... I'm American and in my 50s. I've known about Israel my entire life. Jesus was a Jew so my religion wouldn't exist without it. We were taught about the holocaust in school. I have two grandfathers who fought in WW2 and the whole N camp situation was a big deal when I was growing up. I never even heard of Ukraine until two years ago when all of this made the news here. Do I feel bad for them? Of course. But then again... Russia (and the USSR before that) has been attacking neighbors for decades. The news here has always treated it as something happening "over there", until now. I'm still not sure I understand why we suddenly think Russia is trying to invade all of Europe. Even the USSR never did that. As for anyone thinking it's only "uneducated farmers" that never heard of Ukraine, I have a college degree and grew up in California. My husband has his Master's from Cornell.

Pretty odd that some American conservatives need it explained to them that russia is not their friend.

Buncha RINOs, if you ask me.

Some of us arent even allowed to say the names of the factions involved without censorship and you really expect us to support you in anything? 😂😅😂

Unfortunately the biggest killer of Ukrainian 🇺🇦 democracy is Illiberal MAGA Republicans. These Illiberals have no shame whatsoever about isolationism and imploding government. The problem with MAGA is that America 🇺🇸 is already GREAT and open economies must remain open. China 🇨🇳 is after Hawaii and Russia 🇷🇺 is after Alaska and the two countries are working together to bring America DOWN.
SMH 🤦

Over there will soon be China. Ukraine is just a distraction

Instead of arming Ukraine and Israel, US tax payer money should be spent on infrastructure, healthcare, education and homelessness.

zelensky relies on US like a beggar. Russians rely on courage like true warriors.

Message to US: playing Russian roulette with a nuclear superpower is never a good idea.

Ever been in Russia? They don't even have toilets. They have a GDP the size of Italy. Let's show these guys the door.

Ramp up support for case against genocide Joe 😂😂

I'm a US voter and I won't vote for any candidate unless they fully support Ukraine. It's the most important large conflict in Europe that threatens Western Rules-based Order and our National security as well as Ukraine's (it is also morally bankrupt not to support Ukraine's fight to keep its independence). Unchecked, Putin has global designs which will undo the peace and prosperity we in the West have enjoyed since the end of WW2. The loud MAGA/Trumpists are isolationist pro-Russia. But don't lump all Americans together! Slava Ukraine! 💙💛

This argument makes no sense. America gave aid (money) to Ukraine and they say yeah but it goes to buy American weapons. That money is coming back into the American community. We could have just kept the money to begin with and it would never have left America.

Be careful what you wish for 🇺🇸 USA . This is only SMO at the moment, nobody has declared was as yet that why Russia is going slowely and winning against Ukraine 🇺🇦 and 31 other countries inc USA 🇺🇸 and 🇬🇧. SO different rules under international law
Once you attack inside Russia 🇷🇺 the rules change to WW3. RUSSIA HAS MORE NUCLEAR WEAPONS THAN ANY COUNTRY IN THE WORLD 🌎
WE ALL GONNA DIE NO WINNERS.

SPOT ON!

I think the best argument American politicians and activists should be taking to their constituencies is this: There's stacks of obsolete and expiring US military hardware and ammunition, built to fight the Russians, gathering dust and going stale in storage, already bought and paid for by the US taxpayer, that may never see action and then need to be safely disposed of, never having been used, at further US taxpayer expense. It makes more sense, to ship that equipment en masse, to the Ukrainians, so that they can defeat Russia with it, faster, liberate themselves, the ethnic minority Russian colonies, the Russian people, the Georgians, the Belarusians, the Syrians, the Sahel Africans, cut migration from these places to the US and Europe, remove any prospect of Russia invading a NATO Baltic state and triggering WWIII, deter Xi Jin Ping from invading Taiwan, all while replacing it with new kit, that creates new American manufacturing jobs at home aplenty and modernises American military hardware, for the US armed forces and her NATO allies and removing 50% of the reason for the $800Bn US defense budget, without costing any US lives. Does that sound like a good deal to you? That's what they should be selling AND doing, because it is in fact, the most sensible thing to do.
