Notes from the Resistance
That makes fair the question of those funding the Republicans for Ukraine website: “Who are these guys?” [More]
It’s just another Astroturf venture exploiting a handful of useful idiots hooked on Kristol meth.
State Reps. Quang Nguyen, R-Prescott Valley, and Selina Bliss, R-Prescott, on Monday requested a “Senate Bill 1487” investigation, named after the process’s initial bill filing, from Mayes as to whether the city’s decision to ship 500-600 seized firearms to the Ukrainian Arsenal of Liberty is legal.

Everything I said when the Council approved this still applies, particularly about Democrat “generosity.”
And everything I said about Miami applies too, particularly about ITAR and citizens protecting OUR border from foreign invaders.
On a side note, what’s with Ducey’s “9,000 pounds of surplus tactical equipment”?
Where are they getting these units of measurement from?

Miami Police Department bought guns off the street for Ukraine [More]
And what did they do with them?
Turns out the “buyback” was from last year.
The “Only Ones” claimed “Success!”
Kevin Sona and Lee Williams called “BS!”
I imagine they’ve got all the ITAR “t’s” crossed and “i’s” dotted…?
I don’t suppose sending guns to citizens protecting OUR border from foreign invaders is on anybody’s to-do list…?

“I will try to invite my wife, invite my daughter, invite my cat and invite my dog,” Bunchukov told The Associated Press a week after his arrival. [More]
Why would I stay and fight?
Funny, how the left isn’t screaming about fossil fuels when there’s a greater priority at play…
Here’s how you pitch Ukraine aid to rock-ribbed conservatives [More]
Just have a registered foreign agent turn up the Lee Greenwood music, apparently.
Sounds more like rock-headed.
A line about the Lord helping those who help themselves comes to mind.
That and a warning about “permanent alliances with any portion of the foreign world…”

Criminal Gangs Are Taking U.S. Shipments of Weapons Meant for Ukraine [More]
You’d better believe somebody’s palm is getting greased. I can’t wait until some start showing up in Mexico.
Meanwhile, our government goes after FFLs over minor paperwork errors on background checks.

Alan Korwin relates by email that this is a violation of Arizona law, and calls our attention to another interesting demonstration of hoplophobe/guntard “shoulder thing that goes up” incompetence:
I understand he’s got an article in the works and will link to it when it’s up.
What about using those magical serial numbers to trace the guns to their lawful owners and returning their stolen property?
Phoenix City Council approves plan to send hundreds of unclaimed guns to Ukrainian police force – No city or taxpayer funds will be used to transport the weapons, the council agenda item said. [More]
No, but funds will be used to process this, and more will be forfeited by “giving away” what could be sold. If they’re so flush they can afford that, I guess they won’t really be needing any tax increases. Right?
Ain’t it just like Democrats — giving away what’s not theirs and then taking credit for being generous? Exactly the opposite of the way true generosity is supposed to be.
I wonder if this was Yassamin’s big idea…?

Mexican TV reports that dozens of U.S. AT-4 weapons systems, which were originally shipped to Ukraine, have been purchased by Cartel Golfo in Mexico. [More]
I’m suspecting a misinterpretation and/or sloppy reporting because the source report only says:
“The weapon, which is only sold to armies and has been widely used during the invasion of Ukraine, was in the hands of a hitman from Los Escorpiones, a cell of the Gulf cartel, which operates in Reynosa.”
If weapons are being redirected from Ukraine, this, as stated, doesn’t prove it.
Besides, we know how the cartels get their weapons.

Ukraine war: Leak shows Western special forces on the ground [More]
No provocation for escalation to up close sand personal involvement there…
I seem to recall another undeclared boondoggle that started with “advisors.” Actually, just about every one since WWII…
Who’s up for dying to save them? If not, you can’t very well expect it from anyone else.
And what would any world war be without a second major theater of operation?
Thank God we have “progressive” leadership! Not like those old racists!
Putin Awards Friendship Medal to Action Star Steven Seagal [More]
There’s a metaphor in here somewhere…

Is this to secure weapons for shipment to Ukraine?.. OR, Is this to secure a buildup of weapons for a larger purpose? Meaning, is this preparing for an expanded war effort?
There is a lack of media curiosity. [More]
Since they’re the “only ones” the First Amendment applies to, I think we ought to knock off talking about this.

“This is the kind of American leadership that saved Europe in two wars.” [More]

What about with Ukrainian citizens?

Putin Should Be Scared: Ukraine Is Set to Start Hitting Russian Territory [More]
Putin should be scared? Hell, I’m scared. And that’s probably because, having thought about potentialities, I’m marginally better located and more prepared than most — which ultimately isn’t really saying a hell of a lot when you think of the way things could quickly go to living hell.
Brent M. Eastwood and his urban media megaphone providers over at MSN.com aren’t?
Looking to Ukraine arming its own citizens as a validation of concept is one thing. But as a real change of heart goes, that was wishful thinking.
Ignoring Washington’s great and prescient warning about foreign entanglements is another matter altogether.
The Republic has lost sons defending Europe and look where it’s gotten us, and importantly, where it’s leading us.
Who are the madmen urging escalation, what’s their skin in the game, and where will they watch it from?
Pentagon Confirms US Boots Are On The Ground In Ukraine [More]
That’s very different from this.
Seems this is something else the much-disparaged Founders warned us against…
