I would like to donate enough for a full belt of ammo, in to be delivered in a green & white painted can; how much is that gonna run me? 
(give me a few weeks notice so I can generate some stonk profits to cover my pledge)

IMMA: What the hell is happening in here?

gern: Well, cruiser wants to send a .50 caliber to Ukraine, but painting it burnt orange might not be practical, and maybe just sending cash directly to a sniper is more efficient, but then we lose the vanity part of the project, we might send some patches instead to really get them excited to kill some commies, but we need a cartoon dick drawer to get on board, and instead maybe some surly leftover cups or stickers are better, possibly some ammo, so basically nobody knows what to get Andriy and Mykhailo to help win the war- there's a
whole lotta shit we're trying to
deal with --

IMMA: Oh, I thought there was a problem. Okay, well, uh… candlesticks always make a nice war weapon, and uh, maybe you could find out where their stronghold is and maybe we can get a RV and road-trip to deliver a sex tent or maybe a fake McRib. Okay, let’s get both! Go get ‘em!

whatever costs are going into putting lipstick on this thing might be better served going into bullets they can use to kill people. if that sort of thing matters here, which maybe it doesn't.

It matters.

Make a camo Surly logo sticker or somesuch.  Send it to them gratis along with instruments of death.  Priority being instruments of death.  Hell, tell them we'll donate another $100 for each recorded/written account of shooting a Russian POS.  Let's buy the weapon, and pay for scalps.

Yes, I'm a fucking ghoul.  Deal with it.

Lol. A got damn UT message board is somehow going to end up in an investigation for war crimes and/or international arms dealing with this sort of shit.

Have some fucking respect dude. You sound like a preteen playing Call of Duty. I'm all for supporting the war effort and helping Ukraine kill as many of the enemy as possible, but try to have at least a semblance of honor.

Nothing dishonorable about snipers shooting invaders.  Not even a little bit.  Russia decided to engage in the business of death.  It's a two-way trade.

$100

 

Plus I can put together a care package for the sniper with whatever shit I've got in my fridge and pantry. Create something unique.

I got a lot of gear from FEMA days. Water purification, etc. Have already sent over quite a bit, but if we are going to adopt a sniper I can get some gear together.

I agree there's absolutely nothing wrong with snipers shooting invaders and I clearly said as much. I just have a serious problem with shit like paying for scalps, most of which would be taken from rank and file Ivan who had absolutely no say in who, where, what he invades.

Also if you want NAFO gear you can go directly to their own store:

https://nafo-ofan.org/

the list of charities and organizations I posted earlier are also there.

Man, if I get anymore my girl will disown me! 

Which is fucked up since she steals all the T-shirts. 

So just an idea. Instead of a .50, what if we go steal that Sherman owned by the dick aggy?

I've mentioned this before, but if anyone wants to throw some cash towards the Group my dad and brother started up, just PM me. Here's what they've accomplished over the last 12 months and multiple trips to Poland and the Ukrainian border:

Quote

Dear Family, Friends and Supporters,

We write on this first anniversary of the launch of “our” TX-WY Mission for Ukrainian Refugees to recall our efforts due to your support and kindly ask that you consider a further donation. What began as a single trip to alleviate suffering of Ukrainian women and children flooding into Poland became, thanks to your unanticipated and overwhelming support, a mission that is now in its second year.

General William Tecumseh Sherman once told a group of cadets “War is Hell” and if you follow media covering the Russian invasion, you will agree. The brutal war on and near the front lines continues, death and suffering are never ending and the destruction of property is immense. As we wrote before, our Mission is engaged on the Second Front: supporting the men, women and children who suffer as collateral damage and yet are vital to maintaining morale in Ukraine. The need for humanitarian aid remains critical and donor support across the landscape is waning.

At this one-year milestone, we celebrate your generous and humbling support, allowing our Mission on the Second Front to accomplish so much - relative to our size. During this past year we:

   -Bought and transported more than 80 pallets of non-perishable food and other supplies, which was packaged and delivered to needy civilians in Ukrainian towns and villages;

    -Manufactured and transported to Ukraine more than 7,000 pouches of ready to eat meals (each sufficient to feed two people);

    -Supported David Craig in his efforts to deliver countless tons of food, pet food, supplies, medical equipment, tools, clothing and other materials to badly damaged towns and villages in Ukraine, through our purchase of five vehicles and provision of a warehouse/home facility on the Polish- Ukraine border;

   -Developed and continued to support the art therapy program for Ukrainian youth at the Modalinska refugee center in Warsaw (home to more than 400 Ukrainian refugee children) and at the Museum of the History of Polish Jews;

    -Provided van loads of food, water, candy, office equipment, supplies, audiovisual equipment, musical equipment, art supplies, computers, phones, training and basic essentials to several NGO’s managing orphanages, youth centers, refugee centers, and the aid centers at the two main Polish train stations and bus station;

   -Introduced Texas Children’s Hospital (TCH) and Baylor College of Medicine (BCM) to Happy Kids, the Polish NGO now caring for more than 2000 Ukrainian orphans scattered around Poland with the goal of building on Happy Kids’ strengths to increase its capabilities to manage the orphan crisis in Poland and prepare for improved orphan care in Ukraine;

    -Introduced TCH and BCM to the Lviv Emergency Hospital to foster discussions about possible partnerships in children’s care, medical training and prosthetics; and

We are assisting a US NGO, Sunflower Network, to find support for building a children’s wing to the main hospital in Brody, Ukraine (between Kyiv and Lviv).

In addition, we are in discussions with a US-based property developer in Poland regarding assisting Happy Kids as an advisor on the renovation of buildings in Poland, which will provide homes and other facilities (e.g. psychosocial therapy) for Ukrainian orphans. Further, we are also in discussions with a US-based storage company in Poland regarding refrigerated shipment of our ready to eat meals to Ukraine and other potential joint efforts.

Assessing where we are today, currently, we have approximately $58,000 in our bank account. Going forward, we will spend your donations on the following:

   -Continue to ship bulk food into Ukraine (approx. $1,000 per pallet)

   -Continue to manufacture and ship ready to eat meals into Ukraine ($4 per 2-person pouch);

    -Continue to support David Craig in his storage and delivery of supplies to Ukraine ($850/month for the warehouse facility, plus $3,000 per month for vehicle fuel); and

    -Continue to support of the art therapy program at Modalinska and the Museum of the History of Polish Jews ($800 per month stipend for Lilliana the artist, plus $100 per month for supplies and equipment).

We will also continue to be involved as a convener or assist in some way with the following:

    -Advice and assistance to Happy Kids and TCH as they work to strengthen Happy Kids;

   -Assist Happy Kids to find financial and other support to rebuild or renovate housing and other facilities for the more than 2000 Ukrainian orphans in    Poland;

    -Assist TCH and BCM as they explore other opportunities in Poland and Ukraine; and

   -Advise and assist sunflowernetwork.io in building a new children’s wing to the hospital in Brody, Ukraine.

We remain committed to our Mission. We are a non-organization and thus 99% of your donations go directly to the people in need.

For all those who have helped and followed us over the past year, we cannot thank you enough for your continued support, generosity and trust.

Slava Ukraine!

Post the links man! What they are doing is badass. Work with a group of US/UK doctors who rotate in to support any casualties. Stars, all of them.

Getting (ie shipping) a firearm like that overseas is a really, really tall ask.  You just can't do it willy nilly without risking jail time.  Sending someone money over there, not so much.  There needs to be a fund in Ukraine where we can send our dollars.

The burnt orange idea is neat, but not practical.  They are going to have to paint over it before it goes in to service.  It would be better to send more ammo instead of using money on custom paint.

Seriously, there are some 1914 France red pants vibes going here.

Counterpoint: until the everyday Ivans in Russia decide to turn their guns on Putin and Moscow, F 'em.  Listen to their calls home.  Listen to their families, encouraging them to rape Ukrainian women.  The only complaint those Ivans have is that Putin isn't giving them all the stuff they want and need to kill more Ukrainians.  Russia and the Russian people are all-in on both the war and the war crimes.  Choices have consequences.

There we go.  And seriously, let's just figure out where the money needs to go to adopt a rifle/sniper, bundle it, and take care of it.  We can ask them to put a mark on the rifle and keep us updated or somesuch.  But as long as we're helping Ukrainians kill the Russians who are there to kill them and their families, that's a good, good, good thing.

There are quite a few. Verified, registered, etc. 

And you can move weapons, but would be through a company that is in ITAR compliance. I know a few if it gets to that.

Like, a bonafide Surly Sniper.

Why don’t we try to find one and then give him the money to procure the gun or better optics or more ammo or whatever. That would be a far easier task AND we add his tally to the site.

But when he dead we’re going to have sad.
