This is why Biden deserves to get another term as President
“#Biden explained that the U.S. would send equipment to #Ukraine from its own stockpiles and then “replenish those stockpiles with new products made by American companies here in America: Patriot missiles made in #Arizona, Javelins made in #Alabama, artillery shells made in #Ohio, #Pennsylvania, and #Texas.
In other words, we’re helping Ukraine while at the same time investing in our own industrial base, strengthening our own national security, and supporting jobs in nearly 40 states all across America.”

A very good #DW documentary I found in a post by @John Hummel.
But I can tell you, it made me really sad ...
It covers the #installation of #Putin's #fascist system in #Russia.
As a German who has studied the history of our country, I see parallels to Hitler's career, his rise, and his way of deceiving and deluding the masses ...
But see for yourself ..:
Russia: Putin’s propaganda machine - Manipulating the people | DW Documentary
On 24 February 2022, Russia invaded #Ukraine. Many Russians supported the move at the time. Others silently rejected what was described as a #special operation, which Putin claimed would #de-Nazify a former #sister nation.*Years of #indoctrination and #propaganda, a #single-party rule that #muzzles the #media - this film #investigates how Russians under Putin have #fallen silent, and why no one has pulled the #political ripcord.
Although the international community continues to be horrified by this #brutal, #anachronistic #war in the heart of Europe, most Russians back Putin’s "special operation”. The film is an unprecedented #journey into the heart of a #brainwashed, #intimidated society and an #in-depth investigation into the #inner workings of Russia’s #repressive machine.

These people are *awesome*, real heroes.
They are a Ukrainian wife and husband veternarian team who started a sanctuary for animals affected by the war.
They go into the warzone to rescue escaped zoo animals, wild animals and lost pets. (They don’t seem to be on the fediverse yet, pardon the instagram link).

Collectively they have over a dozen #Patriot systems, while Ukraine has at least 3. They also have S-300 systems which #Ukraine knows how to use well.

I'm very glad we're giving #Ukraine aid, but we're still giving them "don't lose" aid.
We should be giving them overwhelming fire superiority aid. They should be able to fire 10 shells to Russia's 1. They should be able to launch himars every time they see a vatnik.
