Our country should not be involved in that war, period!!

Pinball; You made me hopeful for a moment. I thought you were going to say Biden is sending Stacey Abrams . . . she’s a tank.

Zelensky will be selling those tanks to the highest bidder

Thank you once again for clarifying what potato head in chief is doing! This administration has brought the biggest danger to America in history. It feels pretty dang helpless to stop these lunatics!

Morning Pinball & wonderful community. Zelensky should go to Afghanistan and get all the billions in military equipment left there. It's like I've been saying when an enemy has dirt on you & your family ,you give them oil. When your allie has dirt on you & your family you fund their war. It's beyond ridiculous. Keep calm and prep on brothers and sisters.

How much of a kickback does hunter get once zelinsky sells those tanks on the black market?

At my house, we are calling this the Baskin-Robbins Act. 31 flavors for Zelenskyy. But don’t tell Nancy Pelosi. She’ll want some too.

I was a tanker 19kilo 1st infantry division charlie company 2/63 you need a good year of training to really know what your doing.

It always boils down to money, and what crook has on the other crook.

This is infuriating. It's like loaning your neighbor your Lamborghini because their minivan is in for repairs.

Now I can see why Joe let the lord of War out of jail ! He needs him to sale it all for him and hunter!

Zelenskyy: “Hey Joe; you bring the toys - I’ll bring the bodies. Deal?” Biden: “Ten percent.”

Tremendous video, love the way you bring it all into context and scale. I was a 21 year Tanker up north here - and you nailed it, it takes months of training just to know the basics as the crew, then years of field exercises to be proficient. Giving tanks to Ukraine, is like giving it to your drunken uncle who is at the race track bar, promising he won't place a bet or buy another round. Have a great day! :)

Good morning family 🌞 " We" should not be over there in the first place. Sakes 🤬🤬

Good morning Pinball. Sounds like you had a visit from a ghost or an earthquake! Hope that everyone in the Pinball Community has a blessed and productive day.

"Money for nuthin' and the chicks for free"

When I read this yesterday the first thing I thought was "poking the bear " too. I have a idea, before we send the tanks over there lets hide a tracking device inside the tanks to see where they end up. Things that go bump in the night drive me crazy.

Joe just popped off WW111 by doing this.

As long as the pups and you and Mrs P are ok, my 💡 thoughts: the mirror wants to be hung in a place downstairs that can allow you to see to your left or right of the house if your coming down the stairs.. Never a bad idea to have eyes around the corner 👀

“It’s not the car, it’s the driver” -Gone in 60 seconds

How much stuff did we destroy, or leave behind in Iraq, and Afghanistan, that could have been used here.

How much longer will “the Bear” resist being poked before the big 💥? The US needs to stay out of this conflict!!!

We were pretty shocked when we heard this news. What on earth is Biden thinking? Did Tennessee have a tremor last night??

Watching what's unfolding is infuriating. I was in elementary school during the Cuban Missile crisis (in Key West), back when our government gave a crap about the country. As a veteran, watching the focused weakening of our defenses domestically and internationally now, is nothing short of treason in my book. We will pay the price, our kids & grandkids will pay the price.. You can bet none of their kids will. I work every day with the mindset shtf is imminent. I'm not scared, I'm pissed off! We all know this Ukraine involvement is bs. I ask when will we take a stand? Why aren't these crooks being yanked out of office? And the answer is because we're surrounded by idiots, crooks and devils incarnate. I'm not going down without a fight - screw them! Justice WILL come and bring hell with it and they'll deserve every bit of it.

Not to mention the US bio labs in the Ukraine, I haven't forgotten that.

The whole situation with Ukraine just pisses me off to my core and there ain't a damn thing we can do about it....which pisses me off more.

Thanks for all your info!! We are prepped, but I am scared! Mostly due to our government!

All I want to know is what Biden's kickback for all these tanks he is giving Ukraine.

I had some strange phenomena happen to me yesterday and this morning. Yesterday I was talking on the phone with my sis and the call dropped, went to check my phone and the screen was all screwy. I called her back she asked what happened, I told her I don't know but something pretty weird is going on. While I was talking the sun broke through the big heavy mist covering the area and it was really really bright, I told my sis that I will have to call you back because this is just getting too weird. At about 230am I woke up to a noise that sounded like my pickup door slamming shut, needless to say I bounded right out of bed, I looked but there was nothing there. The adventure continues. Watching inquisitive minds have to know!!!

We never should send any American tanks. Especially the Abrams.

And this is why trump wanted to be done w nato

In January of 2019, while at NTC, a brigade lost 13 tanks. Not broke. LOST. Those squadrons had no idea where they left their vehicles, so my team didn't get to leave on schedule, we had to stay an extra three days, flying in circles over the desert, looking for big tan rectangles. We found 12, (and 9 trailers, and 6 other trucks) then told the tankers to screw themselves before flying out just in time to beat the weather. If US soldiers can't keep track of a nearly 30 ton vehicle that theyre experts on, the Ukrainians are going to 100% waste those vehicles. It's going to be a debacle

All of a sudden, I am unable to give thumbs up for any of the KZfaq channel videos . Thumbs down works. So making comment, Big Thumbs Up! Blessings from NW Florida!

Magnitude 2.7 earthquake 1 miles from Tiptonville, TN · Jan 22, 3:53 AM Found this on a website for earthquake activity in New Madrid fault areas

They have major dirt on taterhead and hunter.

Reminds me of the episode of MASH where Frank was showing off and tried to drive the tank ...

My brother was 3rd armored cavalry, served in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Good morning Mr P. Glad to see the money we all pay into our govmnt is being used responsibly. What a joke that bunch in white house are. Stay safe and have a blessed day.

Another great video as usual Pinball. One would also consider who is going to maintain these machines - as with military equipment, one hour of operation requires multiple hours of maintenance to keep it in top operational condition. I can not help but think that the next shoe to eventually drop will be the thug demanding air support to protect these and future armour assets. Times are certainly becoming interesting and looking back at all the "Normies" who called preppers tin-foil hat wearers brings a smile to one's face.

That’s some very good information Pinball, thanks for the report , really puts perspective on what’s really happening.

Good morning pinball I agree with you that something happened last night my granddaughter was up all night talking to herself but keeping everybody else awake it was like she was afraid to go to sleep we live in Middle Tennessee between you and Nashville

Ukraine has a buyer that needs 30 and one for zelenki

I am surrounded by 3 military bases here in NM. One of the bases are training with tanks almost all day and all night. I can't see them, but it sounds like Fourth of July here....

No kiddin'... it should be "No tanks!"

I was judging the number of tanks by US org (TO&E), too. I retired before they reduced the US tank platoon to 4 tanks (2 teams of 2 instead of heavy team (3) + light team (2) for total of 5 o a Plt. When this 11E corrected me, I got hit in the head with a cast iron pan - they use Soviet / Russian equipment and org. So, a platoon has 3 tanks, 3 platoons to a company + CO's tank = 10 to a company. 3 companies to a battalion + CO's tank = 31. We're sending a Bn of tanks in their TO&E. That doesn't mitigate the fact that we're trying to drain the ocean with a thimble, but, at least it makes a little more sense in the number.

Did you have a small earthquake last night? You and Mrs. P. Remain safe. I know that you have taken the precautions you can. Keeping you both in my prayers.

Abrams are an extremely heavy piece of equipment, not designed for the wet conditions of Ukraine. The maintenance / operator training alone will delay the tanks being actively engaged for months if not a year. This is an equipment dump so the military industrial complex can profit replenishing the inventory.

Same with the Patriot missile system. It takes dozens of personnel to operate one of those systems. Power generators, fuel, technicians, operators 24-7 sat com, parts, area defense, on and on. If Patriots are in the country, so are our boots.

10% for the big guy

Remember the beginning of this conflict?? Zelensky acted like a hero and said we need ammo not a trip to the US or w/e. Then last month or so Zelensky is treated like a hero in the USA, THEN we send Patriot Missile system and start training them in the USA last week. WTH this is totally suspicious of how they all acted since the beginning till now!

Greek news is reporting that Zelensky wants 300 tanks in the FIRST phase.

Wasting more money !!! (Our TAX dollars).

I live in Roane County Tennessee which is not far from where Pinball lives. I was awakened early this morning by what sounded like a crash. I thought some boxes I had stored in a shed had fallen over. But when I checked everything looked good. A couple of pictures had fallen off the walls but no other damage. Not sure what it was.

My son drove the M1A1 Abrams tank in the Army (2nd Armored Div.) - Ft. Knox, Ft. Hood, Camp Casey, South Korea,, then back to Ft. Hood!!!! He loved those tanks!

Tanks that require JP1 Jet Fuel, basically a logistical nightmare. on the battlefield out of fuel on E

How long will they last without air cover?

Your mirror/sound could be vibrations-wavelengths. Have been known to disrupt mass integrity.

We will probably be able to buy the tanks on eBay when dictator Zilenski sells them… and buys another mansion.

When you heard that sound last night were you walking around with your pistol ready to blast a burglar? It was probably just some civil war ghost who's bones are on the property.

Zelinsky DEMANDS?? What an ARROGANT man!

We shouldn’t be involved at all! But hey the Big Guy needs his money.

Aloha and good morning! I got my ☕️ to enjoy along with you! Sounds like you may have had a visitor in your home! As long you and Mrs. are okay, that's a blessing! As for tanks, how much more can any country afford? Mahalo, and you and Mrs. have a blessed day! 🙏🏼🕊🤙🏽🌺

Oklahoma...my state has several thousand Ukrainian Military training at our Millitary bases. I live an hour from one of them. Look at the cyber attacks...seems like it's hitting right there.

Do you honestly think that is all the tanks they are sending they are not going to tell us the real number

Mr P Wikipedia said that there has been approximately 10,400 Abrams built. But it doesn’t give a break down of who has how many

Red October is gonna be pointing right at us

oh shame on you for putting that picture in my mind.. Putin in a Cinderella get up.. I can't unsee that.

Are we mad enough yet? Can we read our country owners manual (the Constitution) and do something about this mess of a govt before Pooty makes us glow in the dark? If Potato can leave $85bil in military equipment in Afghanistan, Potato would be willing to send all we got to keep this charade going. We have to stop this, for our kids sake.

Good morning Pinball Don't forget to take into consideration that we don't have a government or military that is run by Americans for America. We never have.

Those are just enough tanks for them to learn the weakness and in the future they will no how to take them out

That’ll bring some good scratch for our politicians padded pockets.

Money ain't for nothing get your tanks for free

They aren’t giving them old ones. They are building brand new ones for them. The plant they are coming out of is in Lima ohio.

This is scary. It really is. We could be invaded from Canada and Mexico. Let alone other ways. We have zero business being on Ukraine. But we are. Thanks for all you do for us

31 tanks *poke* *poke* *poke* piss off the bear till it retaliates in rage; hmm maybe thats the plan 🤔

You forget about the Patriot missile systems were sending too. Never thought I'd buy hurricane lamps and lamp oil. Cause were fixing to be living in the dark ages..ladies get your clothes pins ready too.

Its mission creep. 31 raises eyebrows today, 131 will not make news next month

Another waste of our money.

Remember: Vietnam War began with "Advisors".

Thank you for explaining this information about the tanks. I am so sorry for your trouble you had a 2 am and it will be a simple fix.

I went to air defense artillery school at Ft. Bliss in 1999. My job was 14S Avenger Crewmember. Those barracks were horrible. The showers only had no head and the water was either scolding hot or freezing cold. Thankfully I got out of there after 4 months. Some guys had been there over a year waiting on getting their secret security clearance so they could get to a new assignment. Sorry you had to be there as an assignment. It was nicer than Ft. Sill in winter. That was the best part. I left Ft. Sill in November and it was getting really cold.

WW 3..here we come

From a preparedness standpoint, why would they be giving away (notice I didn’t say sell them because it’s not like WTP didn’t pay for them) the Bradley’s when they could potentially be used as a backup if necessary? We shouldn’t even be in this war in the first place, but since the 🥔 regime provoked it from the beginning. I’m also noticing the “signaling” the various leaders are doing. Now that they finally got everything else in place, I’ve seen certain leaders talking about “aircraft” I swear, I’m voting for Putin in the next election.

We have no business being involved in the Ukrainian mess. Yet our gooferment is providing billions in funds and equipment to the detriment of the safety and security of our country. These idjits have never experienced the horrors of war, let alone even bothered to serve, yet they seem to be eager to leave us vulnerable to this very experience. May God have mercy on us.

I was a 19D... "Baby tanker" AKA Cavalry Scout, our armor doctrine has been taken from the playbooks of some the most effective war generals to walk the planet. The only people to destroy an Abrams is ourselves, since the 80's when the first model came off the production line, superior tactics and superior equipment.

Ukrainian doctrine has an armored battalion at 31 tanks, that's where the number came from; interestingly, with Poland signing a deal to purchase 250 Abrams over the next several years, no doubt that includes General Dynamics standing up their maint, repair and training infrastructure... probably pretty quickly at this point, and probably on a rail line right next to the border... I'm sure this is just first of many. Just a convenient coincidence I'm sure...

Good morning PB, YT had you hidden today. Ghosts? Thank you for the knowledge on tank volume. Solid perspective. Bet you $100 those 31 tanks will turn into a 1000 by the end of Feb. Our young American soldiers are driving tanks into Russia w/ Germany and allies. Let that sink in. Peace

That could give a scare for sure. Funny yesterday defrosting old freezer because new one came in days ago. We had a chunk of ice fall puzzling us for a bit.

were just crippling our own military

Sounds like someone tried to break in. I'm glad you are all okay. Americans needs first. I was sent tax papers this year, for the first time since retiring. If I have to pay taxes again, I don't want them going anywhere but here. Peace and safe blessings, everyone.

Thank you 😊

Could have been earthquake. There was one that was 1.8 you can look it up. There are two fault lines in TN. It's interesting read about them. I don't know how close you are to the east seismic zone. We have felt them from the reelfoot lake one and we are in Cannon county and it is a long way from reelfoot.

My brother worked for general dynamics. He said that the tanks were the crappy ones.

Mornin from Canton Ga It's begenning of the end of the dollar

Saw last night that UKR also asking for F16s.

This is ABSOLUTELY OUTRAGEOUS!

In Desert Storm, some Marine Armor was still using M-60a1 tanks, M-1 Abrams were the "New" stuff ! (70th Div Tng.)

Pb ty for all you do to keep us informed

Germany sending tanks to Ukraine to be used against Russia…That worked out so well in WWII.

Oh how I love those "attachment" stories.🥤🍿 We was attached to the "combat heavy engineers",we were topo engineers....where ever the hell they went....we was in tow 😂😂😂😂
