It turns out Adam Kinzinger and Malcolm Nance have been promoting a guy (James Vasquez) for months who wasn't actually a soldier and was just taking photos in front of destroyed tanks in Ukraine all along.
If the entire media fell for this LARPer why should we trust any other of their Ukraine reporting?
Kinzinger’s favorite Ukraine hero just deleted his account after it came out he is a fraud.
Hi Newsweek! You have some explaining to do.

"Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty."

I still believe this and I don't GAS what other nations are doing or not doing. If democracy and liberty are going to to not only survive but thrive we are going to have to lead the way in every facet of the fight. I will give everything I own to prevent my kids and grandkids from living under a dictator. I'm not one bit afraid of being broke and poor. I was born that way. I am afraid of living with a boot on my neck.

Edit: Don't think for a a minute that the ultimate goal of China and Russia isn't to destroy democracy in the entire world.

Overspending on Ukraine and ignoring our own military readiness is doing more to ensure that your grandkids live under a dictator than supporting expenditures on Ukraine is doing to prevent it.

Some good news in the region, Kosovo and Serbia appear to be making progress that will normalize relations and create a path for future peace.

The best money that we don't have we ever spent.

I can't know for sure but I'm not convinced that our military readiness is suffering. The present situation in Ukraine would suggest that independent military analyst can't really evaluate a country's military prowess with a great deal of accuracy. So I'm gonna believe we're in pretty good shape.

The military uses the same infrastructure as the civilians use. War is a brutal nasty business and when countries decide war is their only option they do their soldiers a disservice, actually they betray their fighting men when they tie their hands.

The US's policy and let's not kid ourselves we make it Ukraine's policy, that Putin will not be given anything that could be considered a win...comes at a very high price in Ukrainian lives. I said this when the conflict started but was greeted with ridiculous slogans like, you don't give up an inch to a bully. Well, ok, but there will be a high price to pay for that slogan and ultimately it is very likely that the "bully" will STILL come away with some sort of win in this conflict.

Guess the next bets are when the first BTR-60s and T-34s are sent to the front.

Is this supposed to be ridiculing the Russians? That they are (allegedly) bringing out old tanks and yet gaining ground on the NATO armed and trained Ukrainians?

What does that say about NATO weapons?

You can't spin them bringing T-62s and now T-55s out of storage depots as anything positive Ras, I'm sorry you can't.

Ohh good grief, you are drinking the Budapest Kool Aid too? Again, from the people who drafted and signed the Memo, it didn't obligate the US to anything we weren't already obligated to. Meaning, we were never obligated to help Ukraine before the Memo and we weren't after. The US would never obligate itself to such because it would mean a potential war with Russia, which people back then rightly knew would be catastrophic.

The Budapest Memo... removing nukes on Ukrainian soil that the Ukrainians never had control of anyways. So to say that the nukes would have been a deterrent or protecting Ukraine from anything is dishonest.

Per the CNO on 60 Minutes this past Sunday we are down to about 300 deployable ships in the Navy, that includes ships In maintenance, an average of +/- 3000 delay days in ship maintenance per year and down to 4 or 5 shipyards capable of working on Navy ships. How can we expect to fight the next Pacific war with a chitshow like that?

Our only real military threat is China, not Russia.

How can it be a soun by NATO or Ukraine as they are losing ground? That is the question I am asking. It isn't about spin on the Russian side.
