For a mere $10 billion, we can equip Ukraine with enough Javelin anti-tank missiles to wipe out 50,000 tanks.
Russia only has 12,500 tanks.
Ukrainians are fighting for their freedom, their families, and their future. They will not go quietly into the night.
Today:
- Russia lost at least 15 T-72 tanks and five Russian helicopters from Ukrainian Javelin missiles.
- Ukraine handed out thousands of automatic weapons to its citizens to use fighting Russian troops poised to invade Kiev.
- An entire motorized platoon of Russian reconnaissance soldiers surrendered to Ukraine’s forces, and;
- Ukrainian Spetsnaz forces reclaimed Hostomel Airport, killing Russian paratroopers and sending others fleeing into forest and fields, but the battle continues.
- Around the world -- in Rome, Berlin, Paris, New York, Brussels, Toronto, Washington, London, Dallas, Liverpool, Warsaw, Cleveland. Melbourne, Los Angeles -- governments lit up their buildings in the yellow and blue of colors of Ukraine to show their support for that country and its fight against Russian fascism.
I have a feeling that the Ukrainian people would prefer those governments to light up something else.
