  1. NATO needs to come out with a statement that any attack on Europe’s largest Nuclear Power Plant would be considered as an attack by Russia.
    ☢️☢️☢️☢️☢️

  2. Whatever happens Russa will be held to account for damage to nuclear power plant site thy are in possession the only way out is for russia to turn plant over to a internasional body or article 5 will come into play

  3. Scranton for Ukraine 🇺🇦 🇪🇺
    Thank You 😊
    Ukraine is very Thankful for sure.
    The United States of America 🇺🇸 will stand by Ukraine for as long as it take.
    Glory to Ukraine 🇺🇦 🇺🇦

  4. Although the concern that we could not sustain ourselves in a protracted conflict due to this issue is valid, it ignores the fact that if we entered a "Declared War" footing, the industrial capacities would do as they have in the past and start producing what is needed instead of what is wanted… This cannot be done overnight, but it can be accomplished in a shorter time than many might think possible…

  5. It's all heroic chest beating, but the ammo produced by all allies is STILL not enough by far to feed Ukraines' ammo hunger.

  6. If we went to war, the Federal government would enact the DPA. Time / speed could be bought with money.

  7. how said war isn't good for business.

  8. How do Russian nuclear weapons compare to the rest of the world?
    Russia – 6,257
    America 5,550
    UK – 225
    France – 290
    China – 350
    Israel – 90
    Pakistan – 165
    India – 156
    North Korea – 40
    A message to the future generations never make russia feel threatened
    the difference between "looking dangerous" and "being dangerous".Russia
    describes military doctrine as defensive military doctrine. With regard
    to nuclear weapons specifically, Russia reserves the right to use
    nuclear weapons: in response to the use of nuclear and other types of
    weapons of mass destruction against it or its allies,in case of
    aggression against Russia with the use of conventional weapons when the
    very existence of the state is threatened

  9. Short war means quick war. Remember that this is America

  10. How about some air power for them? An F-16 can drop 15K pounds of ordinance in one spot in just one sorties. It’s not even comparable.

  11. dear viewers guess who´s paying for all this "ramp up" to fight a protracted war with Russia and China? I am more concerned with mass shooters in our country running rampant and committing murders on fellow Americans on a weekly basis.

  12. Why? Nobody outside of fake news media and the obiden crine family wants into Ukraine…

  13. Scranton – a global powerhouse.

  14. The whole west should be investing in new ammunition plants, or we won't be prepared when world war 3 goes hot.

  15. If I were Russian I would know now which factory to blow up.

  16. I can guarantee you, that the US has enough ammo to fight at least two wars at the same time in different parts of the world. There are thousands of miles of ammo depots in the sierra Nevada alone. We are literally disposing of old stock and defeating Russia at the same time.

  17. the US can convert our industries over night to a "War Economy" and out produce everyone combined if a war was declared. So im not to concerned about our readiness. Slava Ukraine!

  18. Hope Putin doesn't decide to attack Scranton

  19. While the airforce and navy have already flown 6th generation fighters, the army is still using obsolete technology from 150 years ago.

  20. Look at those enormous amount of ammunition that america has in its arsenal. It can help a lot of people when put into good use. Countless thanks to all your help. ❤

  21. Scranton, Pennsylvania is home of weapons and ammunition plant and the birth of the 46th PotUS Joseph Robinette "Joe" Biden Jr.

  22. SLAVA Ukraine 🙏🙏🙏 all countries helping Ukraine for democracy for people, they want only freedom (Brave Heart ❤️) not communist country ✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

  23. thank you bless you… peace be with you….

  24. Ukraine would not be getting any assistance if that orange traitor was still president.

  25. What a joke opposed to Russias 24-7 manufacturing and enough to last over a year. The US would last two weeks

  26. i bet there's plenty of residents in scranton that trace roots back to ukraine.

  27. It will take many years to replenish what we have given Ukraine

  28. Republicans hate this. It's helping the economy and they want to sabotage it. Republicans want to hurt America so it heps them in 2024. Filthy traitors. All of them. All they care about is power, ruling for the wealthy elite.

  29. Who is making all the 105mm ammo? Why don't they start using a 76mm howitzers? There's a naval gun that uses that caliber…

  30. War making a lot corporations billions in USA 🇺🇸 the elite love making $$$ from war from death 💀
