Building production lines, training workers and securing supplies could take years, while Ukraine continues to face daily Russian attacks.

    The words Trump and Promise don’t go well together. He has only two promises, one to himself and the second to Russia.

    I wish they could have just made that deal with the SAMP-T NG system. SAMP-T NG is already European and sending experts and spare parts from France and Italy would be a lot easier…

    …not to mention France and Italy having trustworthy politicians in government in regards to Ukraine’s defense, who won’t stand in the way of any partnerships.
