Military Aid To Ukraine Escalating Tensions Between U.S. And Russia

 May 8, 2022

The staunch Ukrainian resistance against Russia has surprised many, especially the Pentagon. While mostly hands off in the beginning of the invasion, the U.S. has gone from barely acknowledging a small shipment of Stinger missiles to openly supporting Ukraine with training, intel and billions of dollars in equipment.

Obviously, this has led to an escalation of tensions between the U.S. and Russia. Some fear that this significant support may lead to a direct confrontation in the near future.

Currently, the U.S. has sent helicopters, armored vehicles, drones, artillery, small arms, and ammunition. Also, a training pipeline has been set up in Germany by the U.S. troops formerly stationed in Ukraine. This training focuses mainly on artillery and radar systems.

Aside from the equipment and training, it has been confirmed that U.S. intelligence is being provided to Ukraine. Allegedly, this intelligence has been used to sink a Russian warship and to kill about a dozen Russian Generals.

The next step in U.S. support to Ukraine will be Defense contracts to maintain the equipment sent over. This will prevent sidelining of gear rendered ineffective by lack of maintenance.

"All the equipment that we're giving to the Ukrainians is just too extensive to be absorbed in the short amount of time that we're giving them,... I think we're just asking too much, frankly, and I think what's going to happen is that, when that becomes apparent, we'll start using contractors in some way."

Mark Cancian, senior adviser at the Center for Strategic and International Studies

Once this happens, the U.S. will essentially be fighting Russia by proxy through the Ukrainian military. Considering the Eurasionistic worldview of Putin, this leads to concerns that he may retaliate with force against the United States.

Hopefully the degree of separation between support and direct action will prevent this.

What do you think, is the U.S. too close to the situation? Is the support provided risking a direct conflict with Russia? Is this the same as a proxy war?

  1. Putin needs to be taken out at all costs alongwith his top officals he has no.tight trying to.takeover any other country

    1. You do NOT know what you're saying here, To take Putin out "at all cost" would be to eradicate at least a half billion people off the earth in a matter of 30 minutes both Americans and Russians, not to mention the population of Europe. It's this kind of rhetoric that will move a demented president i.e. Joey boy, to act without thinking just to appease those mid term demoncrats. Be careful what you say! I am with you on removing Putin, but to do that it would mean WW-III. If that takes place it won't matter any more, as the entire world is subject to cracking and breaking apart in some Nuclear exchange. Of course that's NOT going to happen, but it's possible.

      1. Actually, it IS going to happen; Yhwh God has already told us to expect it. He even told us who the players would be, & guess who became allies, after centuries of mutual hate, a few yrs ago... Yep, those very players! Now if God got that right... along with so many other things He warned us about that are taking place before our eyes NOW, don't you suppose He just might be correct about a nuke war too? I mean, He told us there'll be a clean-up from it too, after all... No need to clean up what doesn't happen...

        1. I do not know who is more psychotic the Lunatic Liberals or Crazy Christians who buy into the writings of Psychedelic drug inducing John of Patmos or Nostrodumbass, if the end was at hand that would have started by the 2nd or 3rd year into that foreign enemy emperor "Butt Pirate Bathhouse Barry the Osamanator's" 1st reign.

          1. Try reading the book of revelations. All is coming true. Sorry if it doesn't fit your timetable.

          2. No, it would not have done; it wasn't God's time. He had 1 more chance for America to repent & return to Him, in the wings. However that got blown "bigly", so the lead-in is unfolding now.
            BTW, Nostradamus was NOT a Godly prophet, or a Christian. He was a Jew by birth & religious upbringing, whose family meddled in the Satanic.
            Patmos was a Roman prison, & no psychedelics were available, not that John, the most spiritual of the apostles, would likely imbibed or ingested, had their been.

        2. The Great Bear out of the north is about to be unleashed and foretold at the end of days. Six of the seven seals have been broken.

          1. None of the seals has been broken; the Church are to be witnesses to that, in heaven. Since the Rapture has not yet occurred, that can't have begun. We're still in the "birth pangs".

    2. with our present administration in power, it's best we stay in the basement on this one by only providing tools of the trade.

  2. The Democratic Party and their Evildoers are doing this not the Americans. We known Everything. Every lie will be told.

    1. " There is nothing Concealed that will not be Revealed; There is nothing Covered that will not be Uncovered"-- JESUS.

  3. Putin is The only one who is right in bringing war against the corrupt Nazi murderers of Ukraine

    1. There are no "good guys" in that war, to be sure, but Putin was NOT "right" to invade a sovereign nation, period! Ukraine was not invading Russia...

      1. Putin is doing exactly what any leader would do under the same issues,,, I don't blame him one bit...

        1. Finland, with a much longer Russia border, IS fixing to join NATO, yet Putin is just fine with that much greater likelihood, & Sweden as well, yet he claimed he "had" to invade Ukraine , a LONG shot to join NATO. I call BS; he did so for the warm water ports, NOT his to claim, same as Peter the Great did, & Stalin also did it!

    2. If America was not laundering money in Ukraine,, building and doing bioresearch than putin would be the bad guy,,, but we are and he isn't,, just ask yourself this would you like it if Russia was doing in Mexico what America is doing in Ukraine,,, putin us only doi V what any leader would do,,, PROTECTING THERE SOVEREIGNTY...

  4. We have no business sticking our nose into this mess. Biden and the Democrats need this to detract from their many failures.

    1. Fact is, we do; goes back to a protection pact signed among the US, UK, Ukraine & Russia after the USSR collapsed.

      1. Get real the US government is only trying to keep there money laundering system there in tact,

    2. Along with the point made by Sandra concerning the pack, the democRats will use this to set the narrative against the other truth, that’s is their abysmal failure, with bydone actions ending up being one gaff after another, along with obalma pulling the strings! I Pray Putin sees through their madness, along with coming to his own realization HE has overplayed his intentions, whatever they may be, on this nuclear balancing act in modern times!

  5. What is going on in Ukraine is it direct action from the Democrats specifically Joe Biden and his supporters. Don't believe me here's the truth and the whole truth. Ukraine and Russia had a agreement that Ukraine would not be or look to be joining the UN. Well that changed when Ukraine was seeking to join the UN breaking their agreement with Russia. It's only because of Western influences specifically the Democratic Party that was pushing Ukraine to join the UN. They want their slush fund money laundering to be secure in Ukraine. That is their dirty little secret.

    1. NOT the UN, NATO! Get your story straight. Also keep in mind Russia signed a protection pact with Ukraine, if they'd give back the nukes left behind by the USSR; they did...

      1. So NATO could put nukes right next to Russia,, got ya,,, and you would be OK with that,,, Well than Russia could put nukes in Mexico under your ignorant statement,,, and of course you would be OK with that,,,, liberial mindset is just that dumb....

        1. There's a far greater chance the will do that in stable Finland, who is joining & Putin stated he's fine with. That was SMOKE he blew up your derriere!

  6. The Democrat party and the Biden administration cannot be trusted. Remember Biden’s exact words fire the prosecutor or I hold $1 billion in aid to Ukraine. Putin hast to be stopped. If left unchecked he will not stop in Ukraine. Then there’s no choice but go to war. Putin sees the weakness in this administration and has no fear. This administration has put America in a very dangerous position. The failures just keep adding up.

      1. Keep your head in the sand if you believe that. Besides of which, Ukraine is not Russia so it shouldn't matter to Putin if nazis are there or not. Not a threat to Russia in any way, shape or form.

    1. This is not Biden's fault. He's not all there and is being told to do what to do and what to say...

  7. Yes, it's already a proxy war and has been from the start. It's only going to escalate if the U.S. continues down the road they are currently traveling. And the U.S. intelligence machine already knows this, but you can rest assured that contingency plans are already in place should Russia respond in a way that the U.S. see's as negative response.

  8. we have no choice but to confront Hitler-Putin to stop or delay further expansion into eastern Europe.

  9. This problem has been played out before. WW1 was when we were lured into helping the allies to become involved after the sinking of the Lousitania in 1914. At the time we had a US president who was deeply invoved in a love affair. Europe was ablaze with German gunfire. WW2 was another time in which our neutrality was ripped from us by Japanese forces in Dec 7th. 1942. Now the whole world is gathering forces to once more try to stop an ego-maniacal despot from taking over the Eastern Europe landscape. Three times is the charm?

    1. All Wilson was "in love" with was Marxism, & the Lusitania was sunk in 1916, off the coast of Ireland, probably carrying munitions to Europe (some evidence thereof has been found in her wreckage in recent yrs), we entered the war in 1917. In '41, FDR allowed the Japanese attack (about which he was forewarned, & failed to warn GEN Short & ADM Kimmel), because he WANTED us in WW II, contrary to his claims to the opposite... Note he asked Congress to declare war on Germany on 8 Dec 1941as well as Japan, for all Hitler had not attacked us.
      What you missed is that those wars & the 1 coming were all planned LONG before they occurred by the same evil cabal who are running all the world's gov'ts, & have been well over a century, in fact; the same cabal shoving us toward recognizing them openly as our rulers (NWO/1 world gov't/economy/ religion) under Satan.

      1. You are totally correct. Russia is doing what we were going to have to do in Ukraine. Taking out the DEEP STATE! Their finances are there and the videos of world leaders having sex with children to control them. The bio labs that were producing deadly viruses to kill world population. Ukrainian government is totally corrupt! If you watch true videos coming out of Ukraine the military there is going in after Russian forces leave and kill people and blame it on Russia. The true Ukrainians are for Russia taking out their government. I'm not for Putin, but he's not part of the NWO and they were setting up shop next door to him to take over Russia like they are the USA right now!

  10. What a surprise...NOT! 1st the Ukrainians DIDN'T just let the Russians TAKE , & then allies, including the US who along with the UK & Russia signed a protection pact if they would turn their nukes, left behind when the USSR collapsed, over to Russia. They did; the US & UK are sending weapons, munitions & other aid! The RUSSIANS are INVADING, & killing Ukranians without cause, because they want those warm water ports back, that weren't theirs to steal in the 1st place! Not by Peter the Great, not by Stalin, & not by Putin... So Russia's upset ...and????

  11. There are a large group of democrats that want war with Russia. It will distract from their failed domestic policies.

  12. If he isn’t stopped now, what smaller country is next. He invaded a country without provocation. He’s got to be stopped.

  13. it seems like someone changed usa's mind-seemed like we weren't doing much at all in the beginning and others have just published usa will be drawn into the fight- today, may 9th, as a matter of someone's opinion! God help us all if someone is pumping biden with bad intel - then here we go again. anocther rabbit hole disaster is brewing....

  14. I want to ask bydone supporters to honestly answer one question, why is he so intent on securing the border between the Ukraine and Russia. While doing the exact opposite with OUR border with Mexico?

    1. They want the illegals here to vote for Democrats - as for the Cartels - they don't care.....

  15. Putin needs to be taken out by force and he needs to held accountable for war crimes and punished like he has punished people in his country or to save lives and money Seal Team 6 can go in and take care of business. The scary part of that is Joe Biden being the commander and chief. It has been proven Joe Biden can not be trusted. He gets involved just enough to get American killed and our country.destroyed.

  16. For those saying that Joey may be responsible for anything he has not and never has been from the 20th of January 2021 it is Obama who has oppressing the patriots of the United States as the puppet of primarily the Globalist Soros family.

    1. Face it,, if Trump were still president, none of this shit would be happening. You may not have liked him, but he was good for OUR country - he put us first, not last.

  17. If we send a couple of A-10 squadrons and some AC-130 gunships over there, these Putin pussies wouldn't last a week ..... just sayin' .....

  18. Putin and his military supporters need to be confronted. He is just like Hitler in all ways.

  19. Personally, who gives a crap what Putin thinks of us, he opened this can of worms, now it's our job to help reseal it.

  20. I wonder how many men would volunteer to form trained groups to help fight the Russian troops killing so many people in Ukraine. Looks like they could end the war much quicker if they had more trained help. Maybe I am wrong, but it breaks my heart to hear about so many people being killed, especially children, and I do not think Putin will stop with Ukraine. He will continue trying to take over every country he can. If the war comes to the America, I wonder if anyone will come to help us fight back ?
    I'm 80 years old , born shortly after Pearl Harbor was hit. It seems like there is always a war going on somewhere ever since I can remember, sure wish we could have a peaceful world before I die. God Bless America and God Bless Everyone.

  21. What we are missing here is that we are depleting our stockpiles and our President's globalist position means that they are not likely to resupply those stockpiles in a timely manner if at all!
