  1. It’s amazing how many politicians haven’t seemed to figured this out or have and simply don’t care.

  3. Despite banning all real opponents, Putin was so terrified that one of the authorized candidates would still clean his clock, he had soldiers randomly busting into voting booths and looking at people’s ballots (some were cuffed and dragged away). So, while he was always going to announce a fake result, he didn’t even dare risk too many paper ballots with the wrong name. In reality, it was to scare voters away who weren’t going to vote for him of course.

  4.  @icemanvamp7433  It would be idiotic to call the F-16 a 50yo design just because it entered service 44 years ago. Due to constant updates + major upgrade blocks that have continued to this day, the origina F-16 block models would be absolutely annihilated by today’s most advanced F-16s, which are rightly considered gen 4.5 fighters just like the F-18 Advanced models.

  5.  @icemanvamp7433  Cool story, bro. “They’ve been looking at it for 40 years.” Yeah, looking at it being better than anything in its fleet despite for four decades.

  6.  @chrishooge3442  It should be the Grippen, but it’s clearly not going to be.

  7.  @Dave5843-d9m  Any issues were ironed out decades ago. It’s the continual technological upgrades that make it much better than it’s ever been and when flying with an F-35, its effectiveness is boosted exponentially as they are networked together, allowing it to see everything the F35’s advanced sensor suite sees. What these tankies fail to realize is that there is so much to air superiority than each individual plane’s capability. From external sensor suites everywhere from space and AWACs to ground based radars and gen 5 planes flying nearby to mission planning (a massive element of whether a mission or sortie will be successful), which is extremely complicated and requires tons of experience and resources.

  9. Amazingly, on Russian state TV, they often brag about “knowing how to die.” How about “know how to win.” 🤦🏽

  10. The narrative that this guy was Iran’s chief negotiator is a complete joke yet the media has fallen for it hook, line and sinker.

  11. @ It can’t or it’s incredibly unlikely it will have anything to do with the plane. The 737 NG has one of the world’s best safety records. It’s just popular to bash Boeing right now.

  12.  @sebastianforbes1 No one ran out of $. It’s a political fight. And we didn’t send $. We sent arms, the majority of which, had been paid for in the 1970s and 1980s and cost us nothing or even saved us money since they were mostly retired and many were costing huge amounts to scrap like DPICM and HMMWVs.

  13.  @sebastianforbes1  Citation? The US budget for 2024 is nearly $7 trillion…so, yeah, guess we’re out of $.

  15. Great point, Krembot! 🙄Russia lies about everything. But they’ll be damned if they let a single one from Ukraine go!

  16. QUADS would work much better if SK joins QUAD because “the squad” has very negative political connotations in the US and the GOP couldn’t support anything named SQUAD. Silly, but where we’re at.

  17. Galeotti is great, but simply because he’s so much better than most of the faux “slavperts,” they trust him without question. I’ve heard a number of inaccurate and contradictory analyses from him re:how internal Russian politics work, the views of the general public, etc. When it comes to broad assessments, he vacillates between by 20% +/- on what % of Russians hold x view as the most minor of examples. Then again, half the Western media still take Russian MOD wires at face value. So, I guess, this is a massive improvement. Anyway, this was a generally excellent interview.

  18. His aid to Ukraine has been pathetic. Outspent by Estonian

  19. They were, but they’ve fallen way behind since then, especially with letting the border be blocked for so long. Scandinavia, the Netherlands and the Baltic countries have been doing a great job in providing support. Western Europe and the EU’s 2-4 biggest economies have been the worst with France, Spain and Italy all providing far less support than Estonia despite a collective GDP nearly 174x bigger. But…things recently seem to finally be moving in the right direction with Europe finally realizing they can’t depend on the US nor can they just depend on this just resolving itself sooner or later for good or ill.

  20. Murdering fine. But the act of rape is so heinous and vile. It shudders for me to think on.

  21.  @dancahill9585 The problem is that the most of these crimes are undoubtedly being committed against the poorest, least powerful minority communities that are barely literate let alone in a position to push Putin out. If this stuff was happening in Moscow and St. Petersburg, I’d say “karma,” but otherwise no.

  22. Zero Russian civilians killed via drone and the fact that there’s been far more celebration & laughter by Russians at the drones bothering Russian elites + they’ve elicited anger at the Kremlin rather than backlash against 🇺🇦 by Muscovites + Russians alike shows 🇺🇦 is being judicious/clever in its campaign.

  23.  @burritosls  I just did. It’s pathetic. A little indication of how pathetic your country is over all is the fact it decriminalized domestic violence last year. It’d be one thing if they had no laws on the books about it, but to proactively pass laws to protect wife beaters?! Again, WTF is wrong with your tin pot dictatorship?

  24. Tragic.

  25. How clever… Trudeau’s a fool. Trump’s a traitor. Neither are worthy, but only one of them lost his country trillions in mere weeks + allied himself w/tyrants at his own country’s expense.

  26. Sadly, it’s intentional subversion rather than bonkers behavior. The GOP knows it’s bull sh*t. But it plays into all their other dishonest narratives.

  27. Boom 💥, HIMARS or Vilkha M strikes in Melitpol and at a ceremony at a bar to honor an LP commander bear Vuhledar. They can now join him in hell.

  28.  @buddyrojek9417  The Tsars never cared. They viewed the peasants as literal animals. That is a Russian tradition that continues to this day.

  29. True, but it just smacks of what aboutism when that’s your sole observation to this news.

  30.  @Jablicek  That most definitely wasn’t a binding agreement or guarantee of anything. It was still pathetic a showing by the US.

  31. It was a lame piece anyway.

  32. Was anyone criticizing them? I didn’t see any.

  33. Trump blames Zelensky for his first impeachment. He is more likely to give Russia aid than Ukraine and will pass sanctions on Ukraine before he passes a new one for Russia.

  34. Also, it’s not like they just forgot to and could have been constructing them in addition to everything else they were doing at the time. Every choice comes with an opportunity cost. I am not saying they haven’t made the mistakes or that they shouldn’t have sacrificed another effort to build the fortifications first. But there are no obvious or easy choices.

  35.  @madmickey78  BTW, how does it feel to lose 600 square miles in 48 hours?

  36. Yes, China can’t even comfortably operate their submarines. They’re hemmed in by the shallow waters around their coast.

  37.  @mfallen2023 Biden’s been terrible because he hasn’t explained why our aid hasn’t cost us a dime (most of the arms have been retired or soon to retire, saved us hundreds of millions we were spending on scrapping things like DPICM and HMMWVs, has generated way more in profits from arms sales than the cost of stuff that wasn’t free to give), explained how if Russia wins in Ukraine it’ll control half the world’s grain and be able to trigger migration crises worldwide by withholding graining or spiking prices and so on and so on. And because he has self-deterred to a ridiculous extent. But the odds of Trump continuing to support Ukraine is equal to the odds he’ll aid Russia in its war efforts.

  38. They should let Russia export as much oil as possible since it drives prices down and their margins are thin, take the savings to give more arms to 🇺🇦 while also focusing on closing the massive holes that are allowing Russia to import vital and sanctioned materiel.

  39. Yeah. And I’m a nerd because chicks dig nerds… I mean, please…

  40.  user-zm5wd1dg8m  And? IDGAF about Israel.

  41. @chrisviking7807 Yes. I think Putin has done it because his commanders haven’t told him how bad the situation is and he wanted something to show the public before winter to set in.

  42. Worse, he’s corrupt. The SPD is led by East Germans who pocket Russian energy $ by the billion and actually share Russian values. They started their careers as de facto Soviet citizens, so it shouldn’t be a surprise.

  43. Meanwhile, Musk HAS said USAID was responsible for creating C-19 (odd accusation since Trump was president at the time).

  44. They are murders. Better question is why does the mainstream media no longer think this is worth reporting on?

  45. They love Allan’s Snack Bar from what I can gather after watching videos of them cheering and fighting. Place must have great grub.

  47. They’ve put their entire economy into producing weapons, are getting major help from NK and Iran + had the Soviet stockpile. It’s no surprise they haven’t run out yet.

  48. They’ve been terrible, but then again their own citizens are rioting over not being able to retire at age 30.

  49.  @hitchensghost  There are ALWAYS social issues in France (everywhere really), but especially in France where they riot when they’re told they can’t have more than 200 vacation days a year.
