    Russia tried to outspend the West under more favorable cir stances and failed. You seem to be struggling to find content if you're trying to spin more javelins as good for the Russians.

    Out of the night that covers me,

    I thank what ever gods may be
    For my unconquerable soul.

    I have not winced nor cried aloud.

    My head is bloody, but unbowed.

    Beyond this place of wrath and tears
    Looms but the Horror of the shade,

    President Biden: What America Will and Will Not Do in Ukraine
    By Joseph R. Biden Jr.
    Mr. Biden is president of the United States.

    The invasion Vladimir Putin thought would last days is now in its fourth month. The Ukrainian people surprised Russia and inspired the world with their sacrifice, grit and battlefield success. The free world and many other nations, led by the United States, rallied to Ukraine’s side with unprecedented military, humanitarian and financial support.

    As the war goes on, I want to be clear about the aims of the United States in these efforts.

    America’s goal is straightforward: We want to see a democratic, independent, sovereign and prosperous Ukraine with the means to deter and defend itself against further aggression.

    As President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine has said, ultimately this war “will only definitively end through diplomacy.” Every negotiation reflects the facts on the ground. We have moved quickly to send Ukraine a significant amount of weaponry and ammunition so it can fight on the battlefield and be in the strongest possible position at the negotiating table.

    That’s why I’ve decided that we will provide the Ukrainians with more advanced rocket systems and munitions that will enable them to more precisely strike key targets on the battlefield in Ukraine.

    We will continue cooperating with our allies and partners on Russian sanctions, the toughest ever imposed on a major economy. We will continue providing Ukraine with advanced weaponry, including Javelin anti-tank missiles, Stinger antiaircraft missiles, powerful artillery and precision rocket systems, radars, unmanned aerial vehicles, Mi-17 helicopters and ammunition. We will also send billions more in financial assistance, as authorized by Congress. We will work with our allies and partners to address the global food crisis that Russia’s aggression is worsening. And we will help our European allies and others reduce their dependence on Russian fossil fuels, and speed our transition to a clean energy future.

    We will also continue reinforcing NATO’s eastern flank with forces and capabilities from the United States and other allies. And just recently, I welcomed Finland’s and Sweden’s applications to join NATO, a move that will strengthen overall U.S. and trans-Atlantic security by adding two democratic and highly capable military partners.

    We do not seek a war between NATO and Russia. As much as I disagree with Mr. Putin, and find his actions an outrage, the United States will not try to bring about his ouster in Moscow. So long as the United States or our allies are not attacked, we will not be directly engaged in this conflict, either by sending American troops to fight in Ukraine or by attacking Russian forces. We are not encouraging or enabling Ukraine to strike beyond its borders. We do not want to prolong the war just to inflict pain on Russia.

    My principle throughout this crisis has been “Nothing about Ukraine without Ukraine.” I will not pressure the Ukrainian government — in private or public — to make any territorial concessions. It would be wrong and contrary to well-settled principles to do so.

    Ukraine’s talks with Russia are not stalled because Ukraine has turned its back on diplomacy. They are stalled because Russia continues to wage a war to take control of as much of Ukraine as it can. The United States will continue to work to strengthen Ukraine and support its efforts to achieve a negotiated end to the conflict.

    Unprovoked aggression, the bombing of maternity hospitals and centers of culture, and the forced displacement of millions of people makes the war in Ukraine a profound moral issue. I met with Ukrainian refugees in Poland — women and children who were unsure what their lives would be, and whether the loved ones who stayed behind in Ukraine would be OK. No person of conscience could be unmoved by the devastation of these horrors.

    Standing by Ukraine in its hour of need is not just the right thing to do. It is in our vital national interests to ensure a peaceful and stable Europe and to make it clear that might does not make right. If Russia does not pay a heavy price for its actions, it will send a message to other would-be aggressors that they too can seize territory and subjugate other countries. It will put the survival of other peaceful democracies at risk. And it could mark the end of the rules-based international order and open the door to aggression elsewhere, with catastrophic consequences the world over.

    I know many people around the world are concerned about the use of nuclear weapons. We currently see no indication that Russia has intent to use nuclear weapons in Ukraine, though Russia’s occasional rhetoric to rattle the nuclear saber is itself dangerous and extremely irresponsible. Let me be clear: Any use of nuclear weapons in this conflict on any scale would be completely unacceptable to us as well as the rest of the world and would entail severe consequences.

    Americans will stay the course with the Ukrainian people because we understand that freedom is not free. That’s what we have always done whenever the enemies of freedom seek to bully and oppress innocent people, and it is what we are doing now. Vladimir Putin did not expect this degree of unity or the strength of our response. He was mistaken. If he expects that we will waver or fracture in the months to come, he is equally mistaken.

    I used to be 6 foot, but I'm shrinking, down to 5'11".
    Oh, that's fine lol. I think 6 ft to like 6 ft 2 or 3 I read is the Sweet spot. When you start getting like 6'6 to 6'7 that's too tall for most women from the articles I read

    ed around, found out...

    Top Russian Sniper Killed by Ukraine Forces

    Ukraine's armed forces have killed Russia's top sniper, according to Russian pro-government sources.

    The news of the death of Alexander Kislinsky, a sniper in Russia's GRU/GU's 22nd Spetsnaz Brigade deployed in Ukraine, was reported on May 24 on multiple Russian channels on Telegram and VK, the Russian social media platform similar to Facebook.

    Pro-Russian accounts characterized the senior scout-sniper in Ukraine's death as that of a "hero" and "a warrior" deserving of "eternal memory." An image of Kislinsky's funeral circulated on VK, suggesting that his body was brought back to Russia for burial.

    Denmark set to vote in referendum on joining EU defence policy
    Danish voters to decide on Wednesday whether to opt in to the EU’s common defence policy as gov’t seeks closer security ties with allies.

    Historically sceptical about European Union efforts to deepen cooperation, Danish voters are set to choose whether to abandon the country’s decision 30 years ago to opt out of the bloc’s common defence policy.

    The Danish referendum comes on Wednesday as the latest example of European countries seeking closer defence links with allies in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

    It follows Sweden and Finland’s historic bids to join NATO – something to be taken up at a summit next month.

    Denmark joining the EU defence policy would have a relatively modest effect on Europe’s security architecture, particularly compared with Sweden and Finland joining NATO.

    But Christine Nissen, a researcher with the Danish Ins ute for International Studies, said both moves are “part of the same story”, and would strengthen military cooperation on a continent stunned by the war in Ukraine.

    She said the main effect of abandoning the opt-out decision would be that Danish officials could stay in the room when EU colleagues discuss defence topics and Danish forces could take part in the bloc’s military operations.

    Russia has reverted to their old military doctrine and saturating an area with artillery and rockets for hours and the moving in gradually. Thats how all these guys are getting killed and wounded. Russia literally blows up everything in the area before moving in. Sadly they can outlast the Ukrainians with this strategy. If the pincer movement they are working on now succeeds it will be catastrophic for the ukranian military.

    Turkey puts the kibosh on Black Sea exercises

    Turkey has cancelled or postponed some planned NATO drills in the Black Sea due to the requirements of the Montreux Convention amid tensions between Russia and Ukraine, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said in an interview with the Anadolu Agency on Tuesday.

    "If we had joined the sanctions, we would not have been able to fulfill the mediation role that we have now. We applied the Montreux Convention to warships, but the airspace, that corridor, we have to keep it open. Outside of the convention, there have been requests from Russia, the United States for ships to pass. We have, in accordance with the convention, cancelled or postponed planned NATO drills. We play an important role, and we fulfill our obligations," he said.
