I guess we will see just how unimportant voter opinions are when the time comes for a renewal. If you read the article you'll find out that its just the annouced budget to ukraine that is slowly running out and that their source, a senator, placed it that they have seven months of funds left. By that time the budget will have to get wacked at and oh boy if you think someones going to go soft on military aid or that the MIC will just not lobby for some reason you don't know much about how bad it is in America. | ||

I can’t imagine he left all the gold mines they are looting in exchange for genociding dictators enemies were left unguarded. I have my doubts he's going to relocate them, since their entire income comes from it. So they might as well not be counted on this theatre | ||

Democracy is overrated  Honestly though, If Trump won I'd rather the US cut off aid and force a deal than have him figure out he has a faction of likeminded people in Ukraine he could use the war as cover to empower. | ||

It seems that Wagner lost 95% of its troops (counting both KIA and WIA), which would explain why they went from being deployed to 85km front to only being present at 5km front. This number is probably pretty wonky as over the 9+ months there was probably a lot of people recruited, trained, and then brought to the front to die. They could have easily gone over 100% and it would make sense. It may depend on if they count the prisoners they used as cannon fodder as actual wagner members or not. | ||

Bonus tweet for those that think that the aid is ever going away. The debt deal has a specific carve out that spending limits will not effect defence spending, And this guy below is going to be doing negotiations for that budget. https://twitter.com/upholdreality/status/1662556104444846082?s=20 | ||

Huge sets of drone attacks in Moscow. Since no one is claiming responsibility for them, and it seems most of them were shot down, it's difficult to tell what the exact targets or purpose were. Since this isn't officially by Ukraine, causing terror might very well have been the purpose | ||
