"Ukraine to be given an excuse why it was baited with a NATO-on-a-stick and thrown away like a broken screwdriver"

I wonder how all the fascists that have been trained and armed over the past decade will feel when they realized that the west is discarding them like a used condom.

Good thing they don't have literal stockpiles of military rifles that dissappear off the ledger the second they crossed the border.

the west created a staggering black market for weapons at the start of the war

Jonas Ohman is founder and CEO of Blue-Yellow, a Lithuania-based organization that has been meeting with and supplying frontline units with non-lethal military aid in Ukraine since the start of the conflict with Russia-backed separatists in 2014. Back in April, he estimated that just "30-40%" of the supplies coming across the border reached its final destination. But he says the situation has significantly improved since then and a much larger quantity now gets where it's supposed to go.

Zero surprise if the Ukrainian weapons black markets all have facebook pages

The great thing about being a Banderite is history treating you as a useful idiot twice.

Exactly. Ukraine is infamously corrupt, but Ukraine wasn’t and isn’t going to be admitted to NATO regardless.

Too corrupt to join Nato, but just corrupt enough to get another $2.3 billion in weapons.

You gotta love that old bait-and-switch. Whose fault is the corruption again?

The U.S. doesn't care it's being hypocritical. The cruelty is the point.

It's the Soviets. Look. They point it out for you.

Obviously

Too corrupt:
The nazis they've been funding over the past decade or so are too overly nazi.
They can only accept Nazi lite nations or else their shit stained veil will slide out and reveal what their real intentions are to their own local populations.
