General Lloyd Austin - United States Department of Defence.
The German-built Leopard 2 - is a tank that can help Ukraine at this juncture - mobile and has the long-range capability to do the work - pierce the rag-tag Russian army and send them packing away.
No military expert can make sense of the Ukraine invasion by Vladimir Putin. Soon it will be a year - since the attack - thousands of innocent infants, children, youth, young adults, and our Elders - those with compromised health - have died in Ukraine.
Ukrainians are some of the world's best soldiers - women and men. The layperson in Ukraine is well educated - and many have invented and adapted to the situation at hand.
The tenacity and fortitude of the average Ukrainian have impressed the world.
Ukraine is requesting tanks with long-range capacity - to pierce through the rag-tag ranks of the Russians and defeat Russians once and for all.
The critical Generals and decision-makers are currently meeting in Germany to decide how best to provide the required tanks to Ukraine.
Before that, it was airpower that Ukraine kept begging for, and all sorts of excuses were made.
We all remember in 1991 when Russia had Chairperson Gorbachev in charge - and Britain and the United States convinced Ukraine to hand over 1600 nuclear missiles to Russia - and promised Ukraine all the protection they wanted.
Disarmed when Putin invaded Crimea, Georgia, Belarus, and some other former satellite nations in 2014 - the world looked away.
One year ago, when Russia flexed its muscles again - the United States was slow to understand the situation.
We all remember Vladimir Zelensky refusing to take refuge in the United States - " I do not need a ride - give me ammunition. "
Ukrainians are highly educated and skilled.
As a matter of fact, we have over one million living and contributing to the United States of America. In the military, contributing to our technology and other professional fields.
Poland has thousands of Leopard 2 tanks - made in Germany - the mainstay of their long-range tanks - ready to take on the Russians.
In a worst-case scenario, Poland can have the tanks transported across the border to Ukraine - to keep the rouge Wagner army a proxy army doing the dirty work for Putin and his lackeys.
On many levels, this invasion by Russia defies all the lessons we earned from World War I and II.
The United Nations is impotent - the International Courts are moving at a snail's pace.
Ukraine has collected millions of pages of documents and photographs, videos, and other digital documentation and empirical data and statistics - one of a kind.
Germany and the United States must quickly make up their mind - help provide the required long-range tanks built in Germany-built Leopard 2 - the Unites States provide the heavier Abrams tanks.
So far, when it comes to drones, sophisticated communication equipment, satellite photographs, and a host of other sophisticated technology - the Ukrainians - have far exceeded the expectation of the world.
It is a shame at this late date - the United States is making excuses - when Poland and other nations are ready to start the logistics to deliver the long-range tanks - before winter truly sets in Ukraine.
Daily the civilians in Ukraine are suffering - thousands have no electricity, no heat, no running hot and cold water, experiencing food insecurity, and a host of other maladies.
The Patriot missiles serve some - a couple of cruise missiles - sent deep into Russia - should have been executed in the first 24 hours - after the invasion last February 24, 2022.
Speaker Kevin McCarthy has no clue - what is happening all over the world. Now that he has decided not to address - the debt ceiling - we must address the debt ceiling - simply because we must pay our debts. You buy something - you do not get anything for free.
