Early in the Ukraine war the U.S. military ruled out the possibility of sending Patriot missiles to aid in the Ukrainians’ war effort because these systems are highly complicated and would have required either months of training for Ukrainian soldiers or deployment of American soldiers. But now that’s all changed and President Biden has signed an order to send Patriots to Ukraine. So does this mean that these weapons will be operated by poorly trained Ukrainians or that US troops will, in fact, be directly involved in the conflict?
Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss the Patriot missile system’s lackluster record of effectiveness and the massive costs associated with sending these weapons to Ukraine.

24 people to turn it on? Built in obsolescence.
So when Biden sends your son's over there under general hey China I'll let you know if Trump decides to attack don't be pissed at Putin when they come back in a body bag
It is the same as they try to sell you the Covid vaccine.
Love the title- “What could go wrong?”
This is precisely why conservatives and libertarians watch Jimmy Dore. It’s not because he’s changed his leftist positions like the idiots think. It’s because there’s a big honking Venn Diagram that has no stupid wars and no fucking with liberty smack dab in the middle of it. It baffles me why this is hard for people to comprehend.
Obama went into office with 1 million dollars and came out with thirty, how much will Biden walk out with? Yes they are all crooks.
They’re sending a 25 year old patriot system that doesn’t work….. just wasting money to shoot down cheap drones. Just idiotic
WARS WARS WARS. DESTRUCTION DESTRUCTION. IRAQ X 2. LIBYA, SYRIA, AFGANINSTAN, YEMEN AND NOW UKRAINE IS BEEN DEMOLISHED. SANCTIONS ON EVERY BODY WHO DOES NOT FOLLOW ORDERS. WE ARE EVEN GOING AFTER COMPANIES, CHINESE COMPANIES BECAUSE WE CAN'T COMPETE. TRILLIONS ON WARS AND DESTRUCTION. OH ITS NOT OUR FAULT, ITS ALL CHINA CHINA CHINA. LETS HATE CHINA. ITS ALL CHINA'S FAULT.
US government gives Ukraine billions of tax payer money, Ukraine buys overpriced weapons from US private companies, US private companies funnel money back to the politicians…. It's not looking good for the future of this nation. Too many parasitic bureaucrats, and crooked "defense" contractors.
Remember all those children whining & deathly afraid of " The "Climate"…"changing"……well NUCLEAR WINTER is coming, KIDS.
If you are an American, DUMB enough to accept this deployment, you DESERVE to be dirt napped by Putin.
Probably they will send Polish troops to operate the SINGLE patriot battery? They must know how it works because Poland has that system from some time. Or the ones in Poland are also operated by american troops?
The Ukraine are getting one launcher which they’ll probably sell to dodgy fundamentalist in the Middle East and the cash will go in Belenskys back pocket.
Clear and present danger for all Americans operating these Patriot battery systems in Ukraine. Not from the Russian forces but from the Azov themselves. Ukraine Azov military leaders want America to commit troops and weapons to Ukraine’s defense. There is so much hate and death in this civil war that NATO and our Pentagon are responsible for, that these are desperate times. We are close to WW3 and after all the fireworks, then the land war starts. I hope not but at this rate if Kiev falls and NATO and our Pentagon go all in, all hell will break out especially if we start to loose. Who will release the first barrage of nuclear weapons will be whoever starts loosing in Ukraine.
How's the 4th amendment in Julian Assange
Modern day Cubian Missile Crisis…..only the end result will be much worse. The absolute incompetence and endless spending of Washington DC along with the mindless sheep seeing no problem….makes me want to scream. Common sense goes a long way to solving problems on any scale…..but common sense is lacking today. God help us all.
Jimmy did you not listen to Elenskeys after Pelosi tongue job we have soldiers who can operate these weepons .🙈🤑
And training takes months
So, these are actually vaccine missiles?
If "Greater Equality" is our goal in America this is a Giant step in that direction. When the Russians nuke us the guy working for 30k a year is on the exact same level as guy making 250k a year. Both have nowhere to hide.
Massive sitting ducks, will be blown to smithereens by a $10k balsa wood drone on day one.
America, get ready to have your loved ones killed in Ukraine. Dead America soldiers are coming home to be laid to rest 6 ft under.
These systems have mostly likely never been tested against hypersonic missiles because America doesn't have the hypersonic missiles yet so how can they shoot down these missiles?
Greece rented a Patriot system to Saudi Arabia… with 110 personnel!!!!!
How did so many Ukraine flag wavers never watch Iron Man?
Chances of cancer increase over 60% working alongside the Patriot missile system
