Think Its Possible To Order Tubes From the Ukraine?

Simply. Some Western weapons given to Ukrainians end up being sold to other parties. And that's not 100 a day, that's 150-200 according to Western estimates.

Yes, under the Soviet style system, Ukraine was quite corrupt. It would be naive to think that today all corruption has vanished. But they are trying. And they are succeeding, albeit slowly. You can't turn it around overnight. It's a big ship to steer.

So, yes. Some of us do know a bit about both countries and are not looking at it in black and white. There is always grey.

This just in today, as well:

The findings suggest that harming outgroup members is especially rewarding and associated with the experience of positive emotions. Such psychological reinforcement mechanisms may help explain why humans seem so prone to intergroup conflict, Chester said.

In other words, wired from the ground up for gaining great pleasure, when engaging in self righteous horsesh*t, done in the presence of others of like mind.....

Of course, there is every reason to believe that you support the people of the Ukraine, and with no malice or self interest...but there is the added point... that it does do you good, business wise, to ’support the current thing’, by coming into the thread and telling folks about your situation regarding these particular given tubes.

Why the hell does everything have to be a conspiracy theory with you? Ralph benefits not one iota by sharing he’s been able to successfully get tubes from Ukraine. Give it a rest already!!!

Ukraine is a very corrupt country, war or not. Most of you guys know nothing about that place, do you ? Or about Russia, for that matter, which is also a very corrupt country.

I know Ukraine is now a free and democratic society who is our ally and aspiring to become part of NATO, and I know Russia is the exact opposite of all those things. Please don’t belittle Ukraine by implying they’re like Russia, especially as they’re laying down their lives by the hundreds of thousands and watching parts of their country be completely annihilated to protect and maintain their freedom and to NOT become like Russia. Seriously, what’s wrong with you?

Wow, the Putin lovers are at it again: just had my post for pointing out the resident Putin supporter taken down. Gotta love this site where when you point out blatant propaganda by them, you get the axe, just like in that 3rd world country.

All the best,
