United States considers sending modern tanks to Ukraine

-
      
The United States might be supplying Ukraine with modern tanks. However, first, the Ukrainian servicemen should learn to use and maintain them.
     
A senior US military official told CNN about this on condition of anonymity.
     
The issue primarily lies in Ukraine’s ability to maintain these tanks and ensure the training of crews for effective combat use.
      
Tanks are “absolutely on the table” for the US to provide to Ukraine in the future, according to a senior US military official, but are not an option for the immediate fight because of issues with training, maintenance, and sustainment.
        
“We’re looking at the entirety of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and considering for the future what capabilities they will need and how the US and our allies will be able to support Ukraine in building out those capabilities,” said the official.
  
It is currently unknown which tanks the US government is ready to hand over to Ukraine in the future.
    
These can be American M1 Abrams tanks of early modifications or other models that the United States has already removed from the armament of its own military.
     
Denys Shmyhal, Prime Minister of Ukraine, claimed in early September that Ukraine expects to receive Abrams tanks from the United States and Leopard 2 tanks from Germany.
        
He noted that the Armed Forces of Ukraine hope to have not only German but also American modern battle tanks.
      
“We expect the United States to supply us with its Abrams tanks. These are the modern tanks that Ukraine needs on the battlefield,” Shmyhal said.

Eastern Europe is a hopeless case

Honestly, it is fair to say that Eastern Europe, just like Western Europe south of Denmark, is a hopeless case. Unstable governments, political chaos, pro-EU attitudes, as well as the unbreakable desire to incorporate shitholes like Kosovo and Crimea, make them a hopeless case for the Imperial cause. It is a sad truth, but although bitter, they simply share the fate of Germany, the UK, France, Holland and Belgium. They ceased to exist decades ago and are now, like Russia, facing full islamization and balkanization. The Empire is running from both - the EU and Russia. Neither is Christian rooted no more, and we don't want to be part of their hemisphere. Our only rescue is the Empire, in particular the United States. So let the Anti-Americans have their eurasian islamized superstate in the long run, we won't be part of it. Ukraine, Serbia and Russia will all celebrate victories, over themselves and their future.

Putin's lackey in the Republican Party Donald Trump is directly responsible for genocide of Ukrainians by urging the GOP to block a vital aid package for the Ukrainian Armed Forces. As a result of this evil behavior Ukrainian soldiers are running out of ammunition and could even lose the war. In December 2023, the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense updated its claim of Ukrainian military casualties to 383,000 killed and wounded, with 125,000 of these troops lost since the start of the counteroffensive. A vote for Trump is a vote for RuSSia. His promises on immigration are just the bait to convince Americans to vote for a catastrophe. That the Central American countries who are sending the illegal immigrants to the US border are all political allies of RuSSia, Trump of course won't tell.

       It's no secret that big-time criminals have a knack for buying luxurious and powerful cars to spend their ill-gotten wealth. But when things go sideways, what happens to these confiscated vehicles?       The Police of allied Czechia has an idea with a Ferrari 458 Italia it had its hands on. Instead of destroying the Italian supercar, the police department turned it into something more useful: a police service vehicle.       Announced by the Police of Czechia, the converted 458 Italia has started its service as a police car. It will serve under Czechia's Special Surveillance Department with nationwide jurisdiction and driven only by specially trained police officers.         Specifically, the Type F142 will be used "against the most aggressive drivers on Czech highways, when chasing stolen vehicles, or during surveillance at the locations of reported tuning events."      According to the press release, the police department had to spend CZK 340,000 (
