Pentagon: "Firepower" for Ukraine is already on the way

October 15 2025 13 748 27

Before the start of the NATO Defense Ministers' meeting in Brussels, Pentagon Secretary Pete Hegseth made a statement that observers interpret as a veiled signal of the United States' readiness to increase military support for Ukraine.

According to NBC News, the Secretary of Defense did not directly mention the long-range Tomahawk missiles, but noted that "NATO's commitment to Kyiv is intensifying and will soon translate into real capabilities."

According to Hegseth, President Donald Trump's "peace through strength" strategy is proving effective not only in Europe but also in the Middle East. He recalled Washington's role in mediating between Israel and Hamas, which led to a temporary ceasefire, emphasizing that it is strength and a willingness to act that ensure real results.

Peace comes not from using strong words or wagging a finger, but from having power that your adversaries respect. Ukraine will gain firepower.

- Hegseth said.

Such statements coincide with growing expectations of possible deliveries of longer-range weapons to Kyiv. If the Tomahawks are indeed transferred to Ukraine, this would represent the largest US-led boost to its firepower since the conflict began.

The main point of his speech today was the demand that 5% be transferred to NATO, and no less to the fund that pays for the purchase of weapons from the US for free distribution to Ukraine. As for when they'll actually give it to Ukraine, that's a secondary issue. There's a queue there...

And once, not so long ago, they were afraid to supply first aid kits, but Leopold convinced them - everything is possible!

Peace comes not when you use strong words or wag your finger, but when you have power that your opponents respect.

If only our leadership understood the meaning of these words. Why isn't it like that with us? It's always, "Guys, let's live in peace."

    The desire for sweet sleep and delicious food has taken over. Over 70, I want peace. But I don't want to climb down from Olympus either. It's warm there... Maybe I'll make it... And the country, well, the country is just a dowry.

The Defense Minister did not directly mention the long-range Tomahawk missiles.

First of all, he is not the Minister of Defense.
Secondly, the tomahawks have already been discussed a long time ago, and there is no point in him mentioning them... let them rack their brains in the Kremlin about "what Hegseth kept silent about".

For some reason, we like to present Putin's omissions/silence as the greatest geostrategy... Well, it's the same thing...

The obvious response would be to transfer similar weapons to Madura. But it seems the Americans, playing the long game, anticipated the course of events and organized a naval blockade of Venezuela in advance under the trumped-up pretext of combating drug trafficking.

  Cuba would also be a suitable answer; it's closer and a deal could be reached with it. But answers of this nature are pure fantasy.

Super Leopold... aka the chess player and the great geostrategist... the one with the mustache in the media has played the role of Super Leopold and the great geostrategist, resulting in the Finns in NATO... who could also deploy new land-based TO-Mahawk cruise missile launchers, not to mention Ukraine... which is about to do the same. In Soviet times, no one could have imagined such a situation even in their wildest dreams.

Ukraine will receive firepower

- As soon as he gets it, at that very hour it will be time to flush the Banderites and their masters down the toilet!

  They're afraid of such things in the Kremlin. And that's understandable, because you can't really go against the West's overall military potential. The West has the ability to retreat if necessary, but Russia has already been driven into a far corner. In February 2022, every opportunity was open to eliminating this evil "Ukraine" for good, but no, they decided to simply throw their hats in the face. And they sat on their asses. What a shame for the SVR and the arrogance of the Kremlin's wise men.

In fact, this is a direct appeal to a weak Russia, something like: "Surrender to the mercy of the strong, your time has come." They really do think so... Since Russia has been "marking time" in Ukraine for four years now, their time has come to "settle things," by right of the strong.

They're just making fun of our people and won't put up with it. It'll even lead to nuclear weapons deliveries, and they'll come up with a reason.

Of course. The Soviet military mentality, still in vogue, is to blame: we have no reason to worry about a conventional war; if it gets hot, we'll just go nuclear.

Someone in our Guarantor's office said we could supply our weapons to the US's "friends." I think the time has come to move from words to action. And we need to supply something long-range, first and foremost, to Venezuela, guaranteed to reach Mar-a-Lago.

  Maduro's song is sung - his end is only a matter of time!
  There's no point in supplying him with something like that—the Russians themselves would have enough to deal with Ukraine and NATO!
  Here, at least, right under our noses, from Belarus, we should have time to remove Russian nuclear weapons when A.G. Lukashenko leaves power and his place is taken by openly anti-Russian Westerners, whom he nurtured even before the events of 2020!

      Before the "White Maidan-2020", the AGL apparently thought about "coming to an agreement with the West" and "sent anti-Russian signals of loyalty" ("I am one of our own bourgeois") immediately before the presidential elections - in the form of the arrest of Russian "Wagnerites"!
      But the West then gave up on the "multi-vector" Batka and placed its bets (as in Ukraine in 2013-14) on the "zmagar" youth like "Sveta9%" (this is my alaverdi to Tikhanovskaya - Belarusians, I hope, remember the pre-election "zmagar" propaganda calling A.G. Lukashenko "Sasha 3%", and I told all my Belarusians back then that as long as you have Lukashenko, you have order, but as soon as the "zmagars" come to power, then the same thing will happen in Belarus as in Ukraine, which was turned by the Ukrainizing "myzdobuls" into an anti-Russian Banderland, fighting Russia and its own Russian population on the orders of Washington and London!).
      But now, seeing that AGL failed to be overthrown (he turned out to be not as weak-willed as Yanukovych, and the Kremlin this time woke up a little from its "Olympic hibernation" and became a little concerned about the ongoing attempt at an anti-Russian Maidan coup on Russia's doorstep, Putin no longer warned Lukashenko against using force to suppress the coup, as before, during the Kyiv "Euromaidan" of 2014, to please his "esteemed Western partners", he warned Yanukovych against using force against the unbridled, bloodthirsty Maidanites), the West again began to "flirt" with Batka, who (under pressure from his pro-Western "elite" entourage - Makei was not the only one who did) is again "falling for it", alas!
      No, well, with the Kremlin's pro-Western squirming that we're all witnessing, the Belarusian Batka can be understood—as a seasoned political officer and experienced chairman of a leading state farm, who has successfully wedged Belarus between Russia, China, and the West for all these years, he's wavering along with the "Kremlin party line," striving to preserve himself and the peace and well-being of Belarus and its citizens, as the true Guarantor of the Constitution of the Republic of Belarus!
