The Jimmy Dore Show Early in the Ukraine war the U.S. military ruled out the possibility of sending Patriot missiles to aid in the Ukrainians’ war effort because these systems are highly complicated and would have required either months of training for Ukrainian soldiers or deployment of American soldiers. But now that’s all changed and President Biden has signed an order to send Patriots to Ukraine. So does this mean that these weapons will be operated by poorly trained Ukrainians or that US troops will, in fact, be directly involved in the conflict?
Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss the Patriot missile system’s lackluster record of effectiveness and the massive costs associated with sending these weapons to Ukraine.

The Penn and Teller missile.. it makes other missile simply disappear;;
The USA military is only involved in advisory capacity.
Just like in Vietnam…..at first.
Your tax dollars hard at work in Ukraine.
Jimmy for president
So does this mean it's no longer a proxy war?
The Chinese came out and said they're supporting Russia and are sending troops as well. WW111 is about to happen.
The World needs peace and stability 🙏🏻
America will destroy Europe 😩🤢🤔
Pretty sure you mentioned a US soldier was killed there in the first few months of this 'war'
The Russians have healthcare and HEAT at reasonable prices! I'm in the US and paying $600 a month on electric! I run my AC at 79 and our heat is wearing sweaters, sweat pants, socks, and hats.
US Military, SAC/SOG and SAC/PAG operatives have been on the ground in and around Ukraine performing clandestine ops for quite some time now, even before the so-called 'invasion'
By now, folks should have already known Ellensky's trick in his requests or demands or why the war is being prolonged.
It doesn't matter if the weapon work or not, or if they have people to operate them. All they care is that the more sophisticated the weapons are, the higher the price they will fetch when they sell it…to others. Sure, they will fire a few, just to show that they actually use them but did anyone actually count or ask, how many was provided and how many was used?
I don't think it's that unrealistic for Ukrainians to have been trained on it by now, especially if they started with personnel who were already trained on the HIMARS. Also especially if they can do more of the functions remotely.
@jimmy, 🤔 you know what else was effective? The safe and effective —–}=> 😵
Poland farmers shocked 😂😂😂
BS alert at 6:46 . He even states this despite all of the released data. Smh..
According to Col McGregor it takes a crew of 90
The Patriot does not work but US troops will man it. So that means US troops will be killed right away, because they make a gigantic signature for Russian anti-missile systems. The missile systems and their crews will be destroyed almost as soon as they are fired.
Hey is Russia “outspending the US” and will the US collapse like the Soviet Union?
I think they “did suck” but now are rather competent if not insanely expensive
Think Spending A Million + Dollars to intercept missiles which might cost 20k
“Ballistic Missiles” aren’t what Russia is using to dismantle the Ukraine and NATO troops fighting there.
Russia could simply start building and launching decoy missiles which could be made for next to nothing and allow NATO to bleed US taxpayers dry (ala Israels whole bribery kickback scheme with their version)
Zelenskyy was named Laundromat Manager of the Year. He’s the 1st naughtzee to receive this prestigious award, we are obliged to help this great man.
The REAL issue with putting a destabilizing weapon ( Patriot Missiles real reason for being “talked about” ) is its destabilizing affect on the overall Nuclear deterrence framework that has kept the entire world safe from a nuclear attack since last cravenly opportunistic coward and moron US President slaughtered millions with a Nuclear Bomb to make himself feel tough.
That’s the real issue with putting the Patriot there and exactly why there haven’t been patriots allowed to be used close to Russia bc of its affect on the Nuclear Deterrence framework. This is stupid in such a bigger way tha. Simply It’s use as perfect system to redistribute wealth from the tax base to the elites and politicians as it’s been used in Israel to capture US foreign policy through Bribes (using our own money) to politicians to keep the graft and theft going
Dozens? More like 60-80 personnel if run on a on intentional shoestring crew
Russia, Iran, Venezuela, Syria, Iraq all give their people healthcare as well as free university
Saudi Arabia does those things as well but like UAE they also give their citizens literally thousands every month for just being Saudi.
Israel, uses the billions taken from U.S. families and re appropriated to Israel NOT ONLY FREE HEALTHCARE, FREE UNIVERSITY but literally sets up an account in every single Israelis name in which it deposited thousands each year which they get when they turn 18.
THEY LITERALLY TAKE FROM AMERICAN CHILDREN TO GIVE TO ISRAELI CHILDREN
I totally remember voting for this.
And the human meat grinder churns on!
It's not do that
Saudi Aramco 2019
Look who was behind ww1 and ww2 are also behind this !!!!
I was in Patriot, and we've trained a lot of Germans at Ft Bliss.. the training is hard; but it can be learned in several months.. takes about a dozen ppl to run one whole system.. And yeah, the missiles aren't 100% accurate, but they aren't as bad as Jimmy's making them seem (that's the comedic, bit).. I'm here today, because a sister unit, fortunately, was close by to intersect a missile that was headed towards us.. We all thought we were going to die.. terrifying experience.
They're probably sending the missile systems knowing the Ukraine army can't operate them because Raytheon makes money regardless. Behind the scenes, the Biden administration probably knows the war will end soon and wants to funnel whatever money they can back to defense contractors before it does – no matter the optics.
