Is this the face of the Ukrainian Army?
Does Ukraine really want to win this shootin’ match? Think about it… during the Biden years, the United States literally gave away one-third of a trillion dollars in cash and prizes to Ukraine’s president Volodimir Zelensky.
All Zelinsky succeeded in doing was losing one-third of his nation.
Thankfully, Pres. Trump turned that direct spigot to the off position. Don’t get me wrong, Ukraine is still getting American weaponry, but The Donald is making sure various European nations BUY American pew-pews first, then they’re donating the same to the Ukrainians.
Yet again, Trump is putting Americans back to work. In the words of Charlie ‘Tiger Blood’ Sheen; “Winning.”
Anyhow, I have to wonder if Zelinsky and the rest of the Kiev-government honestly want to win this particular armed conflict with Comrade Putin?
On the topic of the Ukrainian military not getting any younger, as of just last year, Fortune.com reported, “A senior military official speaking on condition of anonymity echoed that assessment, citing an average fighting age of 43-45.”
I can’t speak for all guys, but when I was in my late teens and 20s, I could eat pizza and drink beer all night. Next day I was ready to take on the world. In my 30, I could still bounce back, but my head would hurt a little longer and I’d be just a touch heavier. In my 40s, forget it. I’d tack on three or four pounds just watching a beer commercial.
But wait… this gets worse. Getting back to Zelinsky not exactly giving his all in winning this war; according to the KyivIndependent.com;
“… only men over 25 are eligible for the draft. Until earlier this year, the minimum draft age was 27.”
Just me, but that’s pretty stunning. But wait, there’s more.
The German equivalent of PBS, Deutsche Welle is reporting the following (highlighting mine);
Since Ukraine eased travel restrictions to allow men aged 18 to 22 to go abroad, more and more young Ukrainians are applying for temporary protection in Germany.
This has led to a huge rise in the number of Ukrainian men in this age group registering in Germany: From around 100 a week to almost 1,000, according to the German Interior Ministry.
