There was a six-month lag programmed in from the beginning - basically Biden's people ran up a huge promise of shipments and money through Congress, and they were stocking up EU bases at a mad pace, to *future-proof' against the incoming Trump.

So, Trump did not overturn what congress has promised (we were all expecting him to), and there is an element of FAFO, in my opinion - finding out who are the traitors, and takers, in the mix. It is heart-breaking to see the destruction and insanity, I know.

Realise that the Russians are very fair to soldiers who surrender, especially if they speak Russian like a human. {not so lucky if one is Columbian).

But if I am right, this weird pause, of Trump not ending the weapons deliveries or money transfers to Ukraine, was due to the fumes left from Bidenopoulos. But I believe the congressional money has run out now, and it does not seem that there is a great appatite to make any of it come back into full throttled flow again - it's well, obvious that this would be throwing good money after bad - I mean Ukraine is losing, bigly. Pretty soon the hungry pigs at the other end of the money spigot are gunna find an empty troff, and then they will start escaping. Meanwile we have Russiagate - proving that the whole Russia bad thing was cooked up from the start.

[sidebar] i think all this NG is Washington timing, has something to do with 'changing the subject' as it were, for the big chess-move - (much as I agree that DC is a sh*thole, and needs to be deep-cleaned). The 'purge' is making liberal hair stand on end. The politicians are all writing their outrage speeches. > less time to think about kneeling for Ukranny.

As far as US weapons are concerned, that cupboard is bare, and I have seen estimates of 4-7 years, just to re-stock USA, let alone fill overseas orders. Pentagon cannot magic this stuff out of thin air. Swizerland just had their 6-yrs-away delivery date for PatriotAD postponed, because of 'demand'. There really isn't anything left to ship.

When I was a kid, I asked how wars stop. I was only little (just 5) but horrified by what my grandparents told me about the war. No amount of Grimms fairytales was taking away the fact that my Grandfather would stand and stare silently on May5.

The answer from my mum, who was very young during WW2, was: When they can't fight anymore.

So, i think that is about to happen now.

Russia took well over 70 square KM in the last 24 hours. (about 40 city blocks).

Fat chance 'freezing the front', they have just started in on the open steppe.

America is not poor, all the wealth is just in the hands of a few. Anyone can still go make a really good living in this country if they are willing to work hard in order to achieve it.
