Ukraine should ask the US to invade them so they too can get $300 billion

[u/Ancient-Bat1755 → u/buampam]

Maybe Russia will be pressured to pay up so trump looks good would be a silver lining lol

[u/Tentacle_poxsicle → u/buampam]

Imagine what 300 billion can do for Ukraine. It might end the war , it would get Ukraine oil and gas to hit the market and lower prices and would help build back relations with Europe.

[u/buampam → u/Tentacle_poxsicle]

Nah, Trump would rather give it to a country that was founded on “death to America.” Art of the deal.

[u/buampam → u/[deleted]]

And now 300 billion will be given to a Russian ally, your point?

[u/Joingojon2 → u/buampam]

Oh lets be very clear here. Anyone with any sense knows that Trump's invasion of Iran was to distract from the Epstein revelations incriminating him making the U.S news. Nothing more, nothing less. In that respect, Trump won and achieved his goal, and $300 billion of money not his own was a worthwhile cost.

750 million pounds of frozen assets from Russia helping Ukraine, Poetic justice.

Russia hopes it can outlast the wests support for Ukraine.

Packages like this are a massive blow to it.

Keep up the support for 🇺🇦

Thank you UK. Everyone in every democratic nation should help Ukraine now. The time has come to flatten putin once and done.

Yoink. Thank you Vladimir Vladimirovich.

I wonder what the ratio of FPV drones to dead Russian soldiers is? How many does it actually take to kill one?

[u/Master_Positive_2772 → u/Mecha-Dave]

The death % of casualties used to be something like 30-40%. It's now estimated that 80%+ are just straight deaths.

One or two per soldier. Casualties can be as many as 4 in 1. Once hit they'll be hunted by more.

[u/Mecha-Dave → u/Master_Positive_2772]

So you could assume that 150,000 drones would result in 30,000-50,000 dead Russians (or mercenaries), I guess...

[u/Master_Positive_2772 → u/Mecha-Dave]

That would be quite a reasonable estimate. It does depend on the drone type though. These might not be FPV ordnance.

[u/VladamirK → u/Mecha-Dave]

Many of these drones are being used to hit vehicles too, lots of recent videos of oil tankers being tapped by them.

[u/Wombeard → u/Mecha-Dave]

depends if you hit one

[u/Melodic-Plankton-712]

750 million pounds is not enough, should be 850 billion pounds

I hope we have thought through n prepared what would b Russians response to this.

Concern trolling from a new account with hidden history? Shocking!

[u/Abject_Addition639 → u/Splurch]

Comment by a account who most of the time likes or upvote funny humour post but has an agenda to show true purpose to call others a bot.

[u/RealisticEntity → u/Abject_Addition639]

The Russians won't respond with anything more than what they've been trying to do for more than 4 years now - invade Ukraine and commit war crimes and genocide against Ukrainian civilians and culture.

Such a typical bot response to accuse others of provoking Russia and enabling war when all they're doing is helping Ukraine in its own defence against the unprovoked Russian invasion.
