Why won’t the EU jointly buy ammunition on the global market, amid an acute shortage of shells in Ukraine?

France is blocking the move, along with two other EU countries, diplomats told Playbook.

The insistence on ‘Buy European’ amounts to cynicism, quipped one diplomat. pic.twitter.com/51a2DCAquF

France and Germany will co-lead the coalition in support of Ukraine's air defense within the Ukraine Defense Contact Group.

Air defense is crucial to saving the lives of Ukrainian people.
We are grateful to our partners for their unwavering support. Together, we are stronger.… pic.twitter.com/UgveBeVBlt

Inside Russia, Putin's interview failed on state TV and came in at 19th place for the week from February 4 to 11. Still highly doubt Tucker was in Russia for this failed delusional interview https://t.co/TP1Ve36WRw

Putin didn't "fully enjoy" his interview with Tucker Carlson, who is evidently a "dangerous person" because he listened too much to what Putin had to say. https://t.co/6TtVnhlDJD

👀🇺🇦✊ "The 3rd Specialized Brigade today set a record for the destruction of manpower and enemy equipment in one day in Avdiivka", - commander of the "Terra" unit in the 3rd separate assault brigade

❕"The enemy is super complex, he has sent his elite units here..."
— MAKS 23 🇺🇦👀 (@Maks_NAFO_FELLA) February 15, 2024

Russian losses are staggering, if not critical. Both in vehicles and manpower.

They lost as many men taking Avdiivka as half of the town's pre-war population, if not more.

This is why the relentless bot campaigns, employment of all available resources to prevent funding,…

Russian volunteer Murz whom we haven't heard from for a while as he stopped critical posts due to the risk of getting prosecuted (after his mate Girkin went behind bars) came out criticising the assault of Avdiivka and wasting of reserves just to make it for putin's elections.… pic.twitter.com/rKvGM22zpe

For as long as it takes.@ZelenskyyUa and I signed an agreement today on our long-term security commitments – an historic step. Germany will continue to support Ukraine in the face of the Russian war of aggression.

I hate the "for as long as it takes" now.

Anyway, similar to the agreement with UK, one for France is reportedly coming soon.

Meanwhile Republican scum dragging their feet to help Trump/Putin.

One more thing, this statement is dead wrong also. In the USA, SpaceX builds its Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy rockets in Hawthorne, CA. United Launch Alliance builds its Atlas 5, Delta 4, and Vulcan rockets in Decatur, AL.

Again, you don't seem to understand the physics behind this.

All it takes is getting a metal piece (loosely called a rocket by me) in the way of whatever you want to destroy. Russia, China, India, the US know how to do that and all have done so. You do not use $60M rockets from the earth suface, you use a $500 "rocket" from one of your attack satellites. Watch Neill deGrasse Tyson explain it on CNN.

If you want to use nukes for this simple task, be my guest. However, how do you get the nuke near the path of what you want to destroy? Do you, while doing so, also happen to destroy your very own killer/comm satellites? This nuke thing is just blustering, nothing else.

You are using the word "rocket" when the kill method your describing is more like firing "bullets/projectiles" at a satellite from a killer satellite that has approached its target to a very close distance.

My God, Tucker’s response: “Every leader kills people, including my leader. Some kill more than others. Leadership requires killing people.” https://t.co/Di9wg5QhU3

So, by Tucker's logic, it would be okay for Biden to kill Trump, Lol. Man the things people say to defend Putin cause "West bad"

"West bad so Putin can kill whoever he wants cause West bad but that doesn't make Putin bad cause West bad"
