At the moment the tanks do not matter much. I'ts to muddy for them. At the moment the Russians are busy dropping 500 kg and 1500 kg glide bombs on them which is far more effective. Ukraine air defence appears to have totally failed.
That was the least push back ever from Brie or Robbie.
So you guys have lived in a war torn country?
Hmmmm no Americans coming.home in body bags. Makes it worth it.
Secondhand vehicles and those being retired as not safe enough for US troops would not be any use to the poor or homeless
imagine what it would cost if Poland, ,Lithuania etc were attacked..The EU is well aware of what is at risk, .much of that money supports the usa, our defense workers, manufacturing plants, the cities they live in,the schools their children go to… a host of americans …….beware of clickbait by these news pundits!….every dollar spent to stop authoritarian regimes like russia, a gangster nation that poisons journalists, murders politicians, bombs innocents…is a dollar well spent
not me
There is no 'Peace Deal'. Either Russia is expelled from Ukraine… or Ukraine surrenders and ceases to exist. Then China will enter Taiwan and Russia will move to it's next victim.
What Lavrov has apparently missed, is that the control and freezing of bank accounts of those that go against the approved narrative, is precisely their principle of globalization.
Biden should have at least let the American Voters decide whether or not Putin Invades Ukraine, Wheres the democracy????
Best investment we made for a long time. Destroyed the Russian military for a fraction of the cost we spend just to prepare to do so every year. Sorry, Hill, your pal Putin is getting wrecked. Big explosion in Crimea today, cry about it 😭
Didn't we hear all this from Max about a week ago? What seems to be the problem, isn't he getting sufficient coverage on the Gray Zone?
Lets remember Max, the U.S. was predicting that the Russians were going to roll over the Ukrainians 15 months ago. That didn't happen because the intelligence services had no idea how incompetent the Russians were.
Just what type of creative cost accounting did Max employ to come up with a cost of $61,000 per minute? Why don't you show us a few figures?
If Russia hadn't invaded, would the Belt Way Bandit's be making any money? Why don't you place the blame where it belongs? On Putin and Russia.
Just how does Max have such insight into the mind of the average American taxpayer with respect to the war in Ukraine? This appears to be a clear case of projection on his part.
Government will never change unless society changes. A product of this sick society.
Lets not forget Max who it was that started an illegal war. Would Russia have any problem with the IMF, or would any Russian bank account be frozen, if Vladimir the Great had restrained himself?
Max delivers the goods, every time.
Sending equipment that sits in storage since the Gulf war doesn't cost the taxpayers anything. Even if it is accounted for as billions. Sending equipment that is at the end of shelf life also doesn't cost the taxpayers anything.
Ukraine's spring expensive-sorry, offensive😅 is just an opportunity to dupe people into believing this money laundering exercise and wealth transfer was a benevolent act rather than just more shameless looting from the American people.
Stalemate in Bakhmut!. On this, you’re an idiot, Max, and I am out @ 2:21.
ukrainian spring offensive is about to begin. watch the spectacle of death that we've encouraged and fully sponsor. I weep for the dead and pray for peace
Please get Scott Ritter and or Douglas Mc Gregor on your show …..they are the experts on the military and geopolitical aspects of the Ukrainian, NATO, US – Russia conflict.
Over 80 million dollars every single day?
"Russian T-14 Tank", says the UK who's Challenger tank has spent more time breaking down than in combat. The T-14 has many innovations including radar, ammunition and the ability to shoot down jet aircraft and helicopters, a reactive defense system the fires at and destroys incoming missiles and shells just before impact and small toilet for the crew to help them endure living inside a tank 24 hours a day in combat and not have to use bags or cans and throw it out the hatch like tankers have done for 100 years. British tanks have tea makers inside them.
It’s a disgusting abuse of power in the American government
Democrats will be the downfall of democracy and unfortunately America
Whatever the US and UK govts have to tell themselves…
Great segment! Thanks!
But for the record, yes the T-14 Armata has in fact faced a "slew" of manufacturing delays. Mostly due to first the Covid era trade and supply issues, then sanctions among other things, but whatever the US and UK govts might want to tell themselves about the T-14 Armata, it is still a modern, main battle tank loaded with night vision, new fire control systems and the latest in tank weaponry and armor. To suggest to our allies that this tank isn't another deadly tool for the Russian military to choose from, is only going to get more Ukrainians killed.
To underestimate the enemy is the deadliest of mistakes to make in war, and Ukraine underestimates Russian military hardware to their own detriment.

How much have we spent on israel
Our country is FILLED with homeless people, our roads and infrastructure are crumbling, and OUR tax dollars are going to fight someone ELSE war!!! NO MORE WAR!!!
The ONLY result of funding war in the Ukraine, will be a bigger hole where their country used to be. This war ONLY benefits rich people, follow the money!!! Our politicians are in the pocket of the weapons manufacturing industry.
Are we being distracted by domestic “issues”?
Where was The Hill during Iraq and Afghan wars? US spends more than trillion per year on defense and security. Thats 2.7 billion per DAY. Max, you should be ashamed. If not, you back to school do math again. History lessons is also strongly suggested in you case.
RFK 2024.
Global conflict is the destiny of mankind. Sad but true.
What about the Chinese war… our support of Taiwan ?
CHINA IS NOW BUILDING A MILITARY BASE IN THE UAE. OUR COUNTRY IS RUN BY OLD WHITE MEN AND WOMEN WHO ARE LIVING IN A BOBBLE. THEY ARE LIVING IN THE 1950 TIES. FIGHT IN GREAT IDEOLOGICAL WARS .NO ONE IN THE GLOBAL SOUTH CARE ABOUT DEMOCRACY, THEY CARE ABOUT FOOD AND THEIR QUALITY OF LIFE. CHINA BUILDS WE BOMB. THE CHOICE IS SIMPLE FOOD. NOT SO CALLED DEMOCRACY FORCED DOWN THE MOUTHS OF NON WHITE PEOPLE WITH BULLETS AND BOMBS.
TAIWAN IS A PROVINCE OF CHINA AND IT IS CALLED ONE CHINA BY OUR GOVERNMENT AND THE REST OF THE WORLD. LOOK IT UP?
