  1. That was some peace talk.
    266
  2. We passed the tipping point 20 years ago. All we can do now is try to minimize the damage as much as possible, but it still looks really bad.
    200
  3. Come on Scholzy, give them the tanks!
    167
  4. It's now time to give them the ATACAMS for the HIMARS.
    110
  5. It is always interesting how the polls never match the surveys in elections.
    98
  6. If Russia doesn't want it, it must be a good idea. Because obviously, the last thing Russia wants is to do what makes sense.
    79
  7. That's ridiculous. Ukraine will lose their momentum. Who's side is he on? Russia must leave Crimea and Donbas, and Putin must step down.
    77
  8. Eastern European nations knew the wind would blow back towards Russian imperialism. That's why they all wanted in NATO.
    69
  9. Other leaders should listen to this guy.
    67
  10. See, this is what a Battleship is for... I guess they should'a kept their nukes. Putin sure noticed... Just as Russia is free to put their troops wherever they want, so too can Ukraine join NATO as it wants to.
    65
  11. 😜 We are very angry. You must do as we say, not as we do!
    63
  12. I'm aghast this is still an issue after all that's happened. Clearly, Netanyahu's judgement is not as good as he thinks it is.
    60
  13. Those trees aren't going to help for years. You'd better keep planting and never stop.
    56
  14. It doesn't matter what Ukraine agrees to, Putin will keep raising the bar.
    55
  15. I hope they have a complete list of all the troops still alive.
    49
  16. Stalled Again? The Security Council suffers from the same disfunction as the UN as a whole. It's rules are designed to keep members engaged, but the rules don't take into account political changes that can occur in any country. There is no enforcement mechanism for membership. NATO has a similar problem. What if a member is no longer a democracy? It is a requirement, but not enforceable.
    47
  17. PLA wanted to know how long it would be before you figured it out, and how long it will take to repair it. Obviously it's a preliminary step to cut communications. You need to task a satellite to the area.
    47
  18. Just for reference, the Death Valley record was 56.6°C, or 134°F. We routinely hit 50°C in the U.S. now. 😢
    45
  19. They didn't even get Mig-29s until Poland finally took the leap almost a year late. All of this delay is costing the whole world in lives and money.
    41
  20. Europe walked right into this with their eyes wide open. 😒
    36
  21. Well, he knows what'll happen. Just like with NATO, He'll get more.
    35
  22. Russia losing the war in so many words. SLAVI UKRAINI!!! 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦 The normal thing to do at this point would be to punch into Russia, and take out their supply lines around Belgarod.
    34
  23. What it boils down to, pun intended, is that the CO2 will not dissipate for centuries, so what the author is saying is that whatever level it is when we achieve net zero, that is what it shall be for the forseeable future. That level will stay unless we proactively reduce it our selves. That level of heat will also stay for the forseeable future unless we do something about it directly.
    33
  24. That's a total "in your face", going right to Izyum. He's got the confidence to do that. That's got to be humiliating to Putin.
    32
  25. It seems like you can't go into politics in South Korea without some kind of scandal being attached to you. Violence is no way to solve political disagreements.
    31
  26. Bakhmut is like Antitem or Gettysburg, or Northern Virginia for that matter. The specific location isn't important so much as stopping the enemy from advancing from where he is. A more strategic city would be Donetsk.
    28
  27. You know Russia's not going to just let this be easy. I love the way these inspectors just step right into the grain...
    28
  28. This is looking more and more like a type of World War that we didn't expect. The Bomb really changed the ways future wars can be fought
    28
  29. Amazing Lady, R.I.P. after 70 years of service to her country and the World.
    27
  30. I want to know more about this AA tank. This anti-aircraft equipment from Germany appears to be a medium range system that should really help fill in some gaps in coverage, especially for low,er flying aircraft and hopefully, cruise missiles. The U.S. invented hypersonics, Putin can go stuff it.
    27
  31. ;P "Multiple Chinese fighter jets crash in Taiwan Straight after simultaneous technical malfunctions"
    26
  32. It's a good thing they're working things out. We don't need these internal squabbles.
    26
  33. If China sees an opportunity, they'll take it. Meanwhile Taiwan is making that less likely. China has attacked Taiwan in the past and failed.
    25
  34. This is what happens when you have soft politicians for the last 40 years. You know he's paid off. His own people don't want it.
    24
  35. It's always a matter of time before a dictator flexs his muscles. This was inevitable, and it's more about pride than oil.
    24
  36. ​ @ramanraj6144  and we still see it in Iraq, Libya, and Syria.
    22
  37. Which one is better for PBR? People who cry corruption are often trying to cover up their own.
    20
  38. Hit 'em back hard!
    20
  39. I remember when nobody was making 152 & 122mm ammunition, but now they are. The wheels are beginning to turn.
    19
  40. Is Europe going to keeo letting Putin salami slice bits of neighboring nations every time he threatens nuclear war?
    19
  41. Why doesn't the Philippines 🇵🇭 navy get a bigger boat? China: "This is our fort!" - reminds of the little kids next door telling me my back parking deck is theirs. 😅 Dang US gathering! We should have always been ready to handle two major conflicts since World War II - Because we did! Now it's China and Russia, instead of Japan and Germany. The two theaters of World War II were on opposite sides of the Globe. There is a difference in semantics, but that's about it. We did it by "gathering allies." 😂
    19
  42. It's either a cold war, or it's gonna be a hot war. You must choose, but choose wisely! 🤪
    19
  43. Well, it could have been worse. Thinking of the Battle of Los Angeles, when a lot of people were killed by falling antiaircraft fire.
    18
  44. Where is the actual no fly zone anyyway? Keep those 20mm auto-cannons warm!
    18
  45. This is the first time Scientific American has ever endorsed any Presidential candidate in over a hundred years of operation. This is a Donald Trump Special.
    18
  46. Who is we, comrade?
    18
  47. It would be interesting to know how this affects the birth rate.
    17
  48. It's not that China was the only source. It was that they were subsidizing labor, and our politicians were more than willing to look the other way whilst their stocks grew in value.
    17
  49. He was taking his, "diplomacy" in the wrong direction. 😂
    17
  50. Why are we always fighting the wrong wars and not the right ones? Are all our politicians cowards? The military is obviously not!
    17
  51. NATO is merely biding their time... which is what they're good at. 😅 Even if Russia did fire it, it was most likely an error.
    16
  52. They'd better get ready to fight Wagner if they're going in there.
    16
  53. Russia is destroying two countries, themselves and Ukraine.
    16
  54. Indeed, but are they getting the AAA systems they need to stop missiles? So far, it doesn't look like it. They need to be able to counter fire those positions across the border effectively. That means cruize missiles.
    15
  55. 😢 Can't help it, she just can't help it...
    15
  56. There goes another stock prospect.
    15
  57. He'll keep raising the bar.
    15
  58. Ukraine is perfectly within their rights to make reciprocal attacks on Russian cargo vessels, however their endeavors might be more profitable against the Russian navy.
    15
  59. They'd better stick to intimidation. They don't do very well with actual combat. 😂 It does kind of feel like they will try something though. 😐 Does Taiwan have any submarines?
    14
  60. Putin doesn't look very sick to me...
    13
  61. For the first time... that's how we got alll those islands. This has been a long time coming. She means, "Ask our permission first." 😅 The Philippines Navy needs some much bigger boats. China is not interested in compromise, nor is Xi interested in "Competition."
    13
  62. He's right. Now, let's follow up on it!
    13
  63. Still holding heat in the US too. We're going to hit 33°C daily average next week.
    12
  64. Ukraine has more will power than they did in 2014.
    12
  65. That's why the russians are there.
    12
  66. They should send more than just one field hospital. They don't necessarily need to send weapons. They can help in other ways. Still, preventing the shipment of proxy weapons is somewhat stilted.
    12
  67. They actually have attacked Taiwan before, and they had a war with Vietnam, both of which they lost.
    11
  68. Putin must be evaluated further.
    11
  69. This is not a stalemate. This is a classic Phalanx Shift. They're both pushing harder to their right flanks, creating a counterclockwise rotation of the whole battlefield. Same as ever...
    11
  70. The real reason their missiles didn't get shot was they used new decoys.
    10
  71. This could easily be the U.S. too soon. There are many parallels, but America's biggest problem is a lack of ethics in our population. Our various leaders are corrupt, and the working class is tired of shouldering the burden. How did they do it? They cheated. How are they trying too fix it? They're cheating. The cat is out of the bag now. We know what their long term plan is, and the West will not accept it. The notion that China will be allowed to continue strengthening it's stranglehold on the free World is coming from an academic bubble. There is little mention of their military expansion, and this aspect is what is most objectionable to the current hegemony of the so-called "Western" Nations. These also include many great nations in Asia as well as the Pacific and Europe.
    10
  72. This is why we need Macron to send LeClercs, so Scholz will send Leopards. Oxygen Concentrators for Hydrogen Combustion.
    10
  73. They're all at the Front!
    9
  74. This all turns on whether Erdogan will be willing to give up power if he loses. Elections have been questionable in the past. I think they could easily make a 10% shift in the vote without getting caught. Erdogan's rule is much like what we would have if Trump gets another term. "Who is this woman interrupting me?" 😅
    9
  75. NATO's hands aren't tied, they're just holding each other's hands. This whole thing with the fighter planes is a buck passing shell game.
    9
  76. No Way! Those Spetsnaz have been there In Transnistria for years, how can you think they would be so rude as to carry out functions against the legitimate government?
    9
  77. Hot or Cold, they need to be defeated. We can't keep letting these bad actors get the upper hand. Our own negligence is to blame for these problems.
    9
  78. Saving taxes on the rich by shorting the working man, just like they do here in the U.S.
    9
  79. I don't understand Modi being so friendly to Xi. I suppose he's trying to keep the peace. "Our Man in BRICS" 🤪 China is always willing to discuss the terms of others' capitulation. Very well informed report! Thanks 😊
    9
  80. This guy is not going to survive this war.
    9
  81. It's not a fire alarm, but it would have led people to find out what the emergency was.
    9
  82. Who didn't see that coming?
    8
  83. Is Federov still in Russia? Because he sounds like he is. I'd expect though that he's not because of what he saying about the "war." Maybe he doesn't have to worry as much as some others. Putin should ride out there on his horse. I bet the war would be over inside of a minute! 💪🏻
    8
  84. Well, prosecute! Is it legal or not? Should they cut off the gas then?
    8
  85. Get those civilians out of there!
    8
  86. And we said we know ours work already... 😄 but then, we didn't invade the country that manufactured ours. BTW, we always think twice. That's why we have two keys! 🤠🤠
    8
  87. I don't know how prepared we are, but we can certainly make threats!
    8
  88. That's a mystery how the rescuer can hear him through the dirt.
    8
  89. 🤷‍♂️ "I honestly didn't know. Maybe that's why the secret police are camped outside my parents' house."
    8
  90. He doesn't care. But she's right. It's straight up cowardice to avoid the inevitable. What Putin does is beyond NATO's control. That should be obvious by now.
    8
  91. He should be arrested
    8
  92. Whoa! Salmon have a hard life as it is!
    8
  93. Even with Opec cutting output by 1 million?
    8
  94. Fantasy
    8
  95. Give Ukraine the longer range missiles. There is no further point in waiting. 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦 Achieving the impossible is how wars are won. Putin wanting to talk with Biden means he knows he's losing... The Kremlin is tremblin'.
    7
  96. When blind ambition gets in the way of reality.
    7
  97. 🥁🥁😅
    7
  98. Ukraine needs to consolidate it's forces to defend it's borders. It's all well and good in intimidate the Russians in the South, but they are also planning an offensive in the Northwest, and they're obviously not done with Kharkiv and the Donbas. It's easier to defend than attack. Let the Russians spend their troops on the offensive.
    7
  99. Dude, didn't Lenin go to art school in Vienna? Lot's of them were there anyway.
    7
  100. The Nuke Agreement? You know Putin hasn't forgotten. The "west" is trying to ignore it. That's why people are accusing the west of appeasement.
    7
  101. Actually, the fact that Prigozhin stepped down so easily makes Putin's influence look all that much stronger. All it took was a few words and it was all over.
    7
  102. Donetsk Donetsk Donetsk! 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦 They had to get all that other stuff worked in before those tanks would have been effective. We didn't send Bradleys and other AFVs first because we're cheap. Those tanks need to be protected from flanking attacks and infantry.
    6
  103. So is this what, "Fortitude" was based on? It's interesting to see there are supporters of the "republics". Dictators always bring tragedy.
    6
  104. Let us all remember the noble scientists who have their lives to warn the rest of the world.
    6
  105. The only "American" news channel I know of that has comments turned off is PBS. They don't need or want anyone's opinions but their own.
    6
  106. It was me: I told them it would be a great April Fool's story, but they got the dates mixed up.
    6
  107. Some people are just too afraid of a good pun. 😅
    6
  108. Just like Trump
    6
  109. 32 shells fired in, but we keep seeing the one same hole in the wall all day. It's starting to look suspiscious, and I'm on their side...
    6
  110. "Fighter Jets were never off the table..." 😒
    6
  111. Those cosmonauts better definitely get a ride to the U.S. on Space-X when they're done!
    6
  112. Actually, it is true. They simply need far more equipment to do so.
    6
  113. Get 'em! 🎉 It's referendum time! Turnabout is fair play. 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
    6
  114. What does that have to do with a democratic election in Turkye. Are saying you favor dictatorship over freedom of choice?
    6
  115. The Chinese pose no threat, they simply want to take over the World, peacefully or otherwise. 🙂😉🕊💥 Glad Australia's on it! 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺 🤠👍
    6
  116. Actually, democracy has everything to do with international relations because how you treat your people is how you will treat your neighbors.
    6
  117. Zaporihzihzia is Russia's foothold in the area. They're not going to give it up without a fight. Their whole advantage is the nuclear material. Ukraine needs to keep hitting the area with drones and contain the Russians within the plant itself and not allow re-armament.
    6
  118. No way. They've got to leave Crimea!
    6
  119. Kharkiv is pivitol to this conflict. Russia will be back. Ukraine needs hold it even if they have to pull back from the Donbas. From there, they can retake later. Strategically, attacking through Kherson serves the purpose of a flanking maneuver.
    6
  120. Russia wants the whole Donbas, Crimea, a port for Moldova, and a land bridge between them all. Once Putin gets that, if he's still alive and China hasn't attacked Russia, he'll keep moving west. Maybe he'll pick a fight with Japan for good measure.
    6
  121. Sterility causality
    6
  122. Strategy Successful 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦 It is foolish to be intimidated by any threat of the use of nuclear weapons. The possibility to avoid that threat came and went with the Manhatten Project. When faithless scientists facilitated the gain of nuclear weapons for the Soviet Union, they eliminated that possibility. You can think what you want about democratic principles, but the opportunity ended then and there. Now, there will always be the risk of nuclear annihilation for everyone. It serves no purpose to be afraid of it, only to be prepared for it.
    6
  123. It's our job to be pessimistic. 😅 As we can see, Ukraine has somewhat delayed the beginning of their counterattack, and perhaps, they are being more conservative in their expectations. It's very important not to overextend at this point in the war. Marines are special forces. We have them at every embassy around the World. This is nothing new. Nor is having training specialists in theater during a war.
    6
  124. She's one of the best analysts on the war. Most people appear to be guessing a lot.
    6
  125. You get what you pay for. It's easy to make money when you cheat.
    6
  126. China had a lot of money in svb. Coincidence?
    6
  127. Yeah, they'll probably blow up as many plants as they can on the way out, including Zaporihzihzia.
    5
  128. They do it with presidents too. Hu, you ask?
    5
  129. I hope she can fly! 🤗
    5
  130. Robots are taking over, Again?
    5
  131. So we can just take China's pathology reports, and multiply the statistics by 10.
    5
  132. Rich Moscovites...
    5
  133. So, there you go. Even with the extra maintainence, they are still better than T-72s.
    5
  134. Wherever it ain't, it will be.
    5
  135. Speak for yourself.
    5
  136. Maybe we should be giving Ukraine ballistic missiles.
    5
  137. They also need to coordinate on a standardization for all of these various Leopard IIs to avoid more logistics trouble.
    5
  138. Who's fault is it if Ukraine gets overrun?
    5
  139. Where's all the antiair and attack aircraft they were promised? They also need to be free to counterfire Russian artillery across their borders.
    5
  140. Not like the days of the closed system I trained for. You weren't connected to the internet, just a private network - a REAL private network.
    5
  141. Hit 'em back - HARD! Slava Ukraini! 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
    5
  142. Has anyone traced Facebook back to any Chinese or Russian organizations? 'Cuz they sure are working for them.
    5
  143. Hit 'em in the front, and hit 'em in the back, just like last time.
    5
  144. What happened with Hungary's opposition? The future ain't here yet, folks. Erdogan wanted F-35s too, but he totally blew that. He just does what he feels like, and then he deals with the consequences. Watch Erdogan's parliament vote this down after he gets his concessions. He's right about the anti-terrorizm. Better hold those F-16s though.
    5
  145. Gotta keep the hook going...
    5
  146. But he might! 😅
    5
  147. One of these things will push Putin over the edge. We should be ready for it. This is no time to be squeamish. We're at a turning point in history and we can't capitulate to tyranny.
    5
  148. Russia
    5
  149. Putin's just getting started. His frustration grows every day, and when his temper finally blows, he will try to go all out. Never mind the tactical nukes. He's warming up for all out war.
    5
  150. Donetsk is the enemy's hub. Don't believe me? Try and take it, and watch what happens. It's actually happening already. They have been taking extra steps to protect it from the beginning. That's why they wouldn't give up on Bakhmut - it's a buffer.
    5
  151. And unfortunately, it's just a few billionaires stirring the pot just to build their empires up.
    5
  152. He needs to figure out which side he is on.
    5
  153. Take Donetsk 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦 U.S. Military never said to surrender Bakhmut. We don't tell them what to do unless they ask us, and then it's only a suggestion. What the West is doing is settling in for the long haul. All of Europe has been here before, and so has the U.S.
    5
  154. Fix their pumps and give them back. Then you can complain. No properly maintained gas utility is going to use faulty turbine pumps.
    5
  155. Odesa, Transnistria, Moldova, Romania, Hungary, Slovakia,...
    5
  156. I think the U.S. should buy more carriers, or loan one to Guyana for awhile. 🤪 We all talk a good game, but who will really protect South American rights? That's a lot of money to be made down there, and they will inevitably end up spending some here.
    5
  157. I'd love to see Russia try to start something with Turkey. Erodgan is one of the last friends Putin has left.
    5
  158. Nothing is free in a market, except maybe the water fountain, if they have one. What we want is Free Enterprise. That gives everyone the freedom to create. That is a much more substantial thing that can benefit everybody, and not just the profiteers of the world. Big business has stifled creativity and that is dragging mankind down. Witness global warming, where enterprising individuals are stymied in their efforts to help save our way of life.
    5
  159. I think there are a few SVR agents right here in my town. 😉 Anywhere there are military installations, they will be poking around.
    5
  160. Latest I heard was they pulled back and fortified one of the towns closer to the border. 😜 and they said they haven't lost one person.
    5
  161. 🙏I hope they have footage...
    4
  162. What other possible outcome could there be from his irresponsible actions?
    4
  163. Do it! And let the Chinese see ya do it. I think they're going to need a bigger boat. 😅
    4
  164. I appropriately found this in my Science Fiction search bin. The likelyhood of we Hoo-Mahns resolving this problem in time to prevent global disasters is miniscule if at all. We need that Fusion Power. Good thing so many people objected to it. We are living inside a chimney.
    4
  165. Little Brown Men? At least one of them looked like Spetsnaz. We all know Putin is a chronic and habitual liar.
    4
  166. Ukraine needs to take Donetsk to protect both flanks, as odd as it seems. That will draw Russian forces from both fronts.
    4
  167. Is Edrogan still up for relection? That's why he's been behaving himself. Once the election is over, he'll change to being a dictator again.
    4
  168. There are plenty of types of munitions that the NATO countries can produce faster than the high ticket weapons we've been sending. I'm curious as to what some of our friends have in their weapons stockpiles that we've sold them over the years.
    4
  169. Well, only another 1.4 billion to go through until we get one that will cooperate with us.
    4
  170. They've defending Lviv? 😮 They're gonna need lots of ammo.
    4
  171. Bravo, Chancellor Scholz. 👏👏👏 This war is going to be a long slog - unless of course, Putin's health takes a turn for the worst.
    4
  172. Russia's losing 2 troops to every one Ukrainian soldier. That's not exactly a great victory. Ukrainian's skill level can't get any worse than Russian conscripts. What should happen is the Russians should be stuck in a kill zone in the Donbas between Kherson and Kharkiv.
    4
  173. I will if you look up evaporation! 😅
    4
  174. Donetsk 😉
    4
  175. They've been at this for some time. They've got 500 Spetsnaz in Transnistria.
    4
  176. If you don't believe China is an increasing threat, just look at their military spending. There's only one reason for that. We get this budget discussion every budget season. We can always do more. That's why the military always underestimates the budget. Congress will provide! 🤠
    4
  177. So glad they're doing this! Great idea 💡 too
    4
  178. What a twist! India's got lots of young people!
    4
  179. Run them out of Donetsk, and the rest of their structure will fall apart. They don't have the resources that they took the Donbas with in 2014, and they're hanging on by a thread. Command structure is farcical.
    4
  180. The russians even have specially built submarines for sea floor mischief.
    4
  181. This is the fallout we've been expecting since Russia started this whole thing. Now, it's time to do something about it.
    4
  182. BALLOONGATE! 🎈 I said it first! 😜😜 Send up the Space Force! 👨‍🚀🧑🏾‍🚀👩🏽‍🚀🧚
    4
  183. What's not to like? They're carrying on the tradition! 🇷🇺

  184. Give them ATACMS We've got armchair quarterbacks everywhere.
    4
  185. Hey Vlad, I think they are about to attack your girlfirend's mansion. You'd better get some troops up there pronto!
    4
  186. Yes. It's important for Europe to remember that it takes the US months to fully mobilize and transport for a large overseas operation.
    4
  187. 1:20 ❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉 Russia is only losing ground every day. That's not a successful counter-offensive, it's a, it's a negative retreat! 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦 Crimean Tatar, Yeah! (That's not like the sauce, BTW! Lot's of bad pronunciations in the news these days.)
    4
  188. There isn't much left to capture besides ruins.
    4
  189. Russia is using their soldiers in Bakhmut as a "meat shield" to protect Donetsk. They know the psychological value of the capital of Donetsk for the Russian Separatists.
    4
  190. I'm hoping to see Ukrainian troops at U.S. and allied training camps over the coming months and years. Ukraine has enough motivated people to form a very competitive military. This situation has made it clear to them, finally, that they need one. Everyone is now looking back at that time Ukraine gave all it's nuclear weapons to Russia. We all thought it was a great idea at the time, but we must now move forward from that. Putin is, and has always been the problem, ever since Yeltsin forfeited the Russian government to him.

  191. ​ @lamarazmoe6438  Imperialism requires conquest, and NATO does no such thing.

  192. Insurrection: it's what's for dinner! - Seriously, glad you caught them. 👍👍 If this was the U.S., they'd still be running for office!

  193. They do? As per the report, they scramble fighters, but they also paint them with radar.
    4
  194. We are indeed on the precipice!

  195. So goes Europe, so goes the World. What tanks?

  196. Once a reactor is shut down it would take quite a bit to reactivate it again.

  197. It looks more to me like a Kill Box than an Achilles Heel. We'll see Lukashenko fall off his high horse first.

  198. It was shlt down by the roof it targetted.

  199. Those are Spetsnaz shovels.

  200. It's going to be a long winter.

  201. De-occupy Donetsk! 🇺🇦

  202. Sort of a Leave Leave situation. Norway is certainly treating me good, and I don't even live there. 😂 It's a real gas!
    4
  203. And people wonder why they're not in NATO.
    4
  204. What is your point, aside from obfuscation?
    4
  205. Now I've heard everything. Next they'll be trying to use trees for carbon sinks! 😂😅...😮
    3
  206. Best purpose is to continue to grind down the Russian Army. Kherson and Kharkiv are essential though.
    3
  207. Ukraine still needs more counterfire capability. Sorry Ruskie, no bridge for you! "M1 is too heavy for their bridges anyway..." 😏 Surprise surprise surprise! It might sound funny, but a factory could actually help with repairs for now. Also a good way to drag NATO onto the battlefield when they have to defend German nationals.
    3
  208. A big part of this is, Taiwan must increase it's defensive capability as it is woefully inadequate after years of apathy and the illusion of U.S. protection. They just upped the requirement for reserve service, which is a welcome start.
    3
  209. You've got to make sure there's no heavy metal in it. I'm sure they could manufacture filters for it in Africa itself.

  210. Empire?

  211. 🤗🎉 Admiral explains the land battleship. ☺️

  212. They're being replaced by AI. This has been coming for decades. It took a lot longer than I thought it would, but it's likely to be permanent.
    3
  213. Troll balloons 🎈 Wait, you mean Bigfoot has been launching these things all along?!?
    3
  214. Climate...
    3
  215. EU leaders seemed a bit overbearing at the time, and they've been even more difficult in negotiations. I can understand were the dissatisfaction comes from with the EU.
    3
  216. I nominate, Brian Cox for the TV movie!
    3
  217. Don't underestimate their propensity for violence. So far, Xi has internalized it to China, but they have their ambitions, and they have their nuclear allies. That now makes four nuclear allies with global dominance agendas. They also have the other dictatorships on their side, conveniently distributed around the world.
    3
  218. Jumping to conclusions is a mistake.
    3
  219. Pound their flank, all the way up from Crimea!
    3
  220. Better put treads on those river boats. Without desalination, this will only get worse in the coming years.
    3
  221. Better buy some water tanks and desalinate.

  222. #2 💩
    3
  223. Only one Hungarian doesn't want K'yiv in NATO. If some of these members are not going to honor the requirements for membership in NATO, then they shouldn't get a vote anyway, since they're lucky to be allowed to remain. It's only out of politeness that other members are pointing these flaws out to them.
    3
  224. He's a Shell Shocked old friend - I think he made his point. This shows a big crack in Putin's veneer, but Prigozhin has helped Putin strengthen his regime for a long time. If he breaks their agreement, he will look like a coward. These deals have happened throughout history, just not usually in Russia. Yeah, if Prigozhin is smart, he'll take off for Africa, or skip out altogether. If theyvwant to get him they will, but it's not really necessary.
    3
  225. Putin knows he has a chance of losing Crimea, so he won't need the dam. Also, he will damage the nuclear plant so as to render the whole area unlivable. This is his scorched earth strategy.
    3
  226. Nice how our leaders always have a chat before they plunge us into a war. Remember that China is certainly sharing intel with Russia, with all their nuclear weapons. China reminds me of me when I was younger and less informed.
    3
  227. They need kerosene stoves.
    3
  228. Welp,... I think they'd better get somebody besides the U.S. to help.
    3
  229. Every country is going to need nuclear energy at some point, so we might as well all get ahead of the game. Renewable systems certainly have a place, but they are not complete answers. Ironically, the more trees we cut down, the more forest lands will burn down. Trees help grab moisture out of the air, and they help retain it in the soil mitigating draught. They also are the most efficient carbon capture system we can readily use. Organic systems far outpace anything man made we can conceive, so they are the easiest to do and they are the low hanging fruit. Pun intended.
    3
  230. What Zelenski is asking for is a NATO declaration of war against Russia. Do we have the guts?
    3
  231. We just might attack if they keep running their mouths.
    3
  232. Ruskie armor will probably be coming over the Northern border this winter.
    3
  233. Russia is obviously getting plenty of outside money. The sanctions are not working.
    3
  234. And?
    3
  235. Putin is attempting to provoke a nuclear war, and the level of threat will increase proportionately with his failures. Dissuasion is no longer a factor. Trump is a full member of the Russian mafia.
    3
  236. He means he's going to manufacture a false flag attack from the West so he can open a corridor to Kramatorsk. The fact that he says this means he's thinking about an attack himself. Rumor has it that Putin will send Prigozhin into Lithuania to get to the Baltic Sea. They figure they can avoid blame because Prigozhin is considered rogue by the western community. They don't want to have to worry about the route to Kramatorsk getting blocked anymore. Prigozhin has a lot to make up for if he wants his people to stay alive.
    3
  237. "Fortitude" 😊
    3
  238. "Forget the awards, give me the planes!" 😅🤠
    3
  239. It's the right thing to do. This tragedy will only get worse, and Russia will not back down. Putin will never back down as long as he is alive.
    3
  240. 😱 Has he gone full Short Seller on his own stock?!?
    3
  241. It's high time for the U.S. to call in its marker on China. They owe us huge amounts of money.
    3
  242. ​ @tomhenry897  They owe us more
    3
  243. Well, we'll have to see what's in the next package. There's supposed to be an initial $6 Billion getting ready, as part of a budget request for $26 Billion for Ukraine in 2024. The U.S. is not Santa's Workshop and we have limitations on how much we can make at one time. That's being worked out too. 💪🇺🇸🇺🇦
    3
  244. Might as well add another incitement charge. 😂 He knows this charge is not the biggest of his worries. He's just trying too rile up his base for the other ones that are a lot worse. Mussolini's ghost appears again. 🎉MAKE TRUMP GREAT AGAIN!🎉😂
    3
  245. Yeah yeah, I think we need a break from this, maybe a couple of days at least? Remember, Biden made a deal with Xi. It's not up to Scholz. We make the plane.
    3
  246. Demand is increasing
    3
  247. Because he's really not very bright. The clever part you see is tactics his father taught him long ago. Just lie like there's no tomorrow, and let people fool themselves.
    3
  248. They need some sort of shotshell weapon with a proximity fuse. Those fuses worked well on kamikazes in WWII. If no-one is going to intervene then we owe it to them to provide them all weapons they can defend themselves with. It is not enough to help shield them from attacks. They need to counterstrike the enemy's weapons. Yes, NATO will respond with conventional weapons first. If Russia continues, then there is no limit to our response.
    3
  249. Finally, the F-22 gets combat experience! I think it was a marketing scheme to sell more helium.
    3
  250. Sorry, but we have robot tanks now, so the drone will soon be obsolete, not the tanks.
    3
  251.  @JesusisLordgh8j  Don't YouTube anything if you want the facts.
    3
  252. They'll probably cut through Lithuania instead, after a feint at Poland to fix them around their own border with Belarus. Smaller prey.
    3
  253. Who cares? NUKE 'EM!
    3
  254. Grind them down! 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦 Yes, the Ukrainian Army is retreating towards Kherson! Any day they will have escaped to the river completely!
    3
  255. Russia must need the intel...
    3
  256. You know, thinking about it now, we should let everybody in now, while Russia is stuck in Ukraine. Then let them try to figure out whether it was worth it all. When Putin loses in Ukraine, he will be looking for easier targets elsewhere along theRussian border.
    3
  257. There are some very few russians who already moved there. 😒
    3
  258. "Only if NATO agrees to stop helping Ukraine and reduce back to 1949 borders!"
    3
  259. 😯 Zelenski knows they are out of time, and the wounded deserve to be treated.
    3
  260. France makes the rules. Have you not used the metric system?
    3
  261. Makes you tougher! 💪🏻🤠
    3
  262. Closet Commies,... How ironic that he's named "McCarthy!" Is this now, "Reverse McCarthyism?" We do need to send somebody into Lviv to keep an eye on things, but certainly not a corrupt Republican!
    3
  263. They'll be asking for Trump to pay up!
    3
  264. Nothing?
    3
  265. F16s and Mig29s are from the same era. What makes them think F16s are so much better? 😂😊 "Escalation" will happen. Sooner or later, and whether we like it or not. Might as well get ready for it.
    3
  266. "By your command." 👽 The U.S. uses Spy Satellites. We haven't seen a benefit to using ballons. John Kirby said we're not flying any aircraft over Chinese airspace. He never said we're not using satellites.
    3
  267. Well done - I think Putin's ongoing aggression is inevitable no matter what "The West" does. He's on his last hurrah and he wants to go out with a bang. If he can leave behind a legacy, so much the better for his family.
    3
  268. MAGA did it. They do volunteer work for the SVR here in the U.S. 😄
    3
  269. That's a surprise. 😢🎉 This is why we have two parties, to balance the economy.
    3
  270. No, he wants a timetable from now.
    3
  271. We have already reached the 1.5°C average in the Northern Hemisphere, so if you want to know what it will be like, well, it is! And what a summer it is!
    3
  272. The World needs a another solar panel manufacturer besides China. I hope they gear up to export.
    3
  273. 🏭🏭🏭🏭🏭🏭🏭 He is right about the 1994 agreement. We lost face by not holding up the bargain. We basically played them for suckers because we didn't have strong relations with Eurasian countries.
    3
  274. The head shaving begins...
    3
  275. There to discuss our terms for surrender... 😂 The only question is, whose surrender? De-LEVERAGING is the thing.
    3
  276. F5s, why not? Definitely usable for ground attack, helicopters, etc. Probably Chinese "stealth fighters" too! 🤣🤣 Time for replacements anyway. 👍👍
    3
  277. Sure, sure they will... 😏
    3
  278. Time for another drone attack
    3
  279. Javelins work on helicopters. Ukraine has 250,000 soldiers. This is far from over.
    3
  280. Nuke Moscow
    3
  281. Russia has about 500 Special Forces in Transnistria. The rest of them are reservists and don't associate with the Spetsnaz.
    3
  282. Russia is running on mob rules. They're all bucking up to the boss, but jockeying to replace him when he gets bumped off.
    3
  283. I think a lot of politicians have these.
    3
  284. Rifles, Rockets, and Terrain.

  285. Snap snap, here boy!
    3
  286. The buck stops here.
    3
  287. Still lagging on air defense...
    3
  288. Xi is screwing up the whole global economy. 🤪 A great testimony for communism! 😅 That's quite a trade they're making. Sacrificing Western trade for some knock-off weapons sales to Russia.
    3
  289. Definitely true, and the water rains back down mostly in the ocean, so it's not coming back fast enough. They'll need desalination just about everywhere.
    3
  290.  @RustyShackleford_  Large trees like Redwoods can pull moisture directly out of the sky, and others collect condensate on their branches that drips to the ground instead of blowing over.
    3
  291. Modern Weapons are the equalizer against a larger opponent. Russia was never as capable as they claimed to be. They used to fly the same planes over and over past Red Square to fool the U.S. during the Cold war.
    3
  292. Welp...
    3
  293. Upgradable 😉😉
    3
  294. So, you've never heard of NASCAR then, which runs its cars on methanol. It's been around for a long, long time.
    3
  295. Pretty soon, Russia will be claiming convenience stores in Brooklyn.
    3
  296. I think the Russians are testing to see if they can get away with a bigger chemical attack.
    3
  297. Let them come and watch the real news...

  298. Pocket Journalism- Have you not heard the story of Nate the Snake?
    2
  299. This is caused by spies. That's why Putin can make these threats. That's how they know what they are targetting.
    2
  300. Then they went back to the bar again, this time with a TV journalist in tow.🎉
    2
  301. The difference is, Biden ordered the search himself, and ordered full cooperation with the National Archives. Trump continued to hide his documents even under formal request from the National Archives.
    2
  302. "My dear comrades, I'm speaking to you from my hidey hole in Sochi..."
    2
  303. The benefit will be more apparent as more crews are trained. It also removes Schultz's main excuse of waiting for someone else.
    2
  304. Every roof should have plants or solar panels. We have to everything we can. There is no more time left to indulge climate deniers. Air Pollution causes Global Warming. 🫁🥵🧠 Too expensive for what?
    2
  305. Their flank is wide open.
    2
  306. Crimea can wait. They should take and solidify a hold on the western coast above Melitopol. 😉🤠
    2
  307. Meanwhile, Ukraine is better prepared every day. When China and Russia realize they can't take the World by espionage, it will be war.
    2
  308. Moldova has been on the list since 1991... If every piece of land was subject to government by language alone, we would have twelve nations on every city block. That is not the way the World works. You learn the language of the country you live in. It is not the other way around. That is the way of anarchists and conquerers. Of course, that is what Russia wants and it is what they always have wanted. 🇲🇩
    2
  309. ​ @peterebel7899  Actually, the Vikings could push back into Moscow. They have the right! 🇫🇮 🇸🇪 🇩🇰
    2
  310. The Chinese did it!
    2
  311. As Russia relies more and more on its allies, they begin to realize they are becoming more and more of a target for the Western Powers.
    2
  312. Killing civilians is the whole point. It's like WWII, Total War. Somebody needs to take this guy out. This is not Putin alone, it's the whole Kremlin. 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦 They really should bomb Donestk. Sad to say that, but this is how real wars are fought. Ukraine is being forced to fight with one hand tied behind its back.
    2
  313. Just remember, we saved South Vietnam, and China is our best friend. Listen to the experts!
    2
  314. They're becoming quite obvious, aren't they? China, Iran, North Korea and Russia leading the World. We're draining Russia, but meanwhile, China is still building up its military. It has never really been about Communism versus Democracy. It has always been Authoritarianism vs Liberalism. Those names are just populist labels. Without the social benefits of a government, all there is left is a dictatorship.
    2
  315. It's about time for Putin to roll out the "V for Vengence" weapons. Train troops in Poland. Tough luck if Putin doesn't like it!
    2
  316.  @dyrectory_com  You would take anything outside of the CCP with a handful of salt...
    2
  317. WAR! We're going to War! It's time to wipe out the Arachnid threat! The sides have been drawn... The fighting has begun. We've been at cyberwarfare for decades. It's time for the U.S. to step up the game.
    2
  318. 😢 Almost time for the bombardment. 😮 I hate to think what's going to happen to the Russian forces when Ukraine finally gets those F-16s...
    2
  319. 👋🤠👍🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦 Russia can't attack training based in NATO territory. Let them try!
    2
  320. We didn't get to see her baby! 😄🤱
    2
  321. It looks more to me like a third party like Iran or even China is trying to stir up random trouble. The way to figure out who it is is to see who isn't damaged in the leak. It could also easily be a hacker group enjoying themselves. Computers attract the socially inept. 😛
    2
  322. Putin is a better conman than Trump, but who is he trying to fool? His cluster bombs have been exploding on live TV since Feb '22!
    2
  323. BALLOONGATE: I said it first!
    2
  324. Constantine looks happy. 😅
    2
  325. Whoooa, didn't see THAT coming! 😑
    2
  326. The armor protection systems are a key condideration right now. These new tanks need survivability to be as effective as we want them to be. A lot of these decisions are better left to military minds. Putin is desperate. He may not show it obviously, but he is. He can't help but be. So are the rest of the Kremlin. They know they can lose their ability to govern Russia if they're unsuccessful in Ukraine.
    2
  327. Well, I hope the russians keep their word for once... They'll have to take back Mariupol as part of a general arrangement later.
    2
  328. 👍🇺🇦🇯🇵👍 Stands to reason doesn't it? Historical Possession
    2
  329. The Russians are doing this to discourage reliance on more nuclear plants so they can sell more gas.
    2
  330. Bali Hi! 👋🤠👍
    2
  331. Republican National Party. Does no one check Telegram these days?
    2
  332. People just don't want to believe they have enemies. This is a sign of immaturity and naivety. Russia indeed must. Change fundamentally if we are to have peace, but so must China.
    2
  333. Despiration 😢
    2
  334. Why does defense minister look like Brian Cox? 😄😅
    2
  335. This idea that Germany isn't helping their share is coming from SVR trolls.
    2
  336.  @jooseppib1082  The truth is out there.
    2
  337. Nuclear Powered Desalination and Pumping to Reservoirs.
    2
  338. They need lots of portable stoves and the fuel to go with them. They need plastic sheeting and duct tape too, to block the wind from damaged buildings. Putin was warned very clearly by the U.S. not to invade Ukraine, so he had every opportunity to avoid this mistake. Once we stepped up Javelin shipments, it was clear he would not not succeed in taking 'kyiv. Ukraine presses for more weapons... I thought this was news! Seriously though, coming right up! Just better hope Reverse McCarthyism doesn't make Speaker of the House.
    2
  339. And Israel, and probably India, and possibly even Pakistan, depending on who's in power that day.
    2
  340. They should save money by waiting until there's a real threat, then if they miss they can just wait for the next one. 😉😜🤪
    2
  341. Those Russian Tourists really need to curb their careless smoking habits! 🚬 🤗 🚬 Stay tuned, it's going to get a lot worse. 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
    2
  342. Send a few AC-130s then...
    2
  343. In any other war they would be hitting back inside of Russia. Moscow and St. Petersburg should be the primary targets. 🎯🎯 Putin will be moving around in his train, so saboteurs might have to get him.
    2
  344. He's right though, it is a joke at this point. Trump pulled out of half already. They already violated these treaties anyway.
    2
  345. No Christmas present from Santa this year. 😒
    2
  346. I thought he was supposed to fool the west into thinking they were going to work with us. He went and mucked it all up straight out of the gate.
    2
  347. Look at their ties. 😂 Two crooked ties for two crooked men.
    2
  348. Here comes the real second wave. Get ready for a long one. That plexiglass is too small to do anything by the way...
    2
  349. Those poor Swiss are really missing out. Makes me question my ancestry. 🤪
    2
  350. Typical deflection. They haven't given up on "usurping" the U.S. as the Global Hegemon. Little do they know that Democracy is the real Global Hegemon. If all China can muster is a balloon, they'd better think again before Crossing us.
    2
  351. China pollutes less, riiiight. Who butters your bread?
    2
  352. Everyone seems to see something bad coming... I [don't] wonder why.

  353. Stalled the Kherson attack, he did. 😨
    2
  354. Flux, the situation is in flux.

  355. He's one of the smartest guys in the room - from King's College... We don't have to seek conflict with China, they're importing to us - from here.
    2
  356. Sort of like crossing the border into Ukraine. Biden should write his own speaches more. That way, he'll be willing to use that instead of extemporizing so much.
    2
  357. One way, two-faced cry babies - the Chinese need a better government.
    2
  358. Ban that coach for life and be done with it. Enough with all the nitpicky B.S.
    2
  359. Oh Boy... Yeah, it's time to put your foot down and say, no more. China's policy is simply to brutishly take unfair advantage of people whereever and whenever possible.
    2
  360. When they give them full autonomy, then it will be a drone war. 😢 Putin is a total sociopath with a sympathetic face.
    2
  361. That's it: blame the U.S., they hate everything. How original! China HAS been using their own INFLATED currency. That's why China's economy is crumbling from underneath. Their debt balance looks good on paper, but it's completely false. You can't trick reality forever.
    2
  362. Time to blow the Kerch Strait Bridge. Let them reap what they sow.
    2
  363. "Woops"
    2
  364. Putin doesn't care one bit about the people in Russian occupied Ukraine. He nominally cares about the land in Crimea, but not the people. He knows he'll probably lose the territory, so he doesn't care about nuclear radiation. As long as he can keep Ukraine from retaking Crimea, it's better than losing it outright. He'll be dead by the time it can be occupied again. It's not that important to him.
    2
  365. Those 105's are right on time. They need the ammo to keep coming, and some heavy assault armor. The russians will probably try something North of Kharkiv once they get their "famous 3rd Army" together.
    2
  366. 😂

  367. ☢🤠👍

  372. Minister is right. It can't get any more obvious that war is brewing up. Look at your history, the one they taught you in school. It is time for all politicians to lead as they say they do.
    2
  373. 👋 I'll join! Can I be the new President? 😜 Russia's going to make an offensive THIS WINTER. How soon everybody forgets the first talk about Russia invading last winter while the ground was still frozen for an armored assault. They'll be crossing through the places they couldn't go this spring because of the mud. They've still got plenty of old tanks to send green troops in.
    2
  374. Biden is too nice to the wrong people.
    2
  375. Exactly - false flag of Polish provocation so they can attack through to the Baltic.
    2
  376. Strategy? Who says he's got a strategy? He's just evil, like Darth Vader. Really, the reason he agreed to this deal was exactly this, so he could inflict pain by withrawing the offer. Ukraine should now concentrate on this fleet. Anywhere that gets a rise out of Putin is an effective target! This is above all a psychological war between Zelenski and Putin, so pour it on!
    2
  377. Russia should be very afraid. They have enemies on all sides now, thanks to their own government.
    2
  378. 👽🛸 Was it Tic Tac shaped?
    2
  379. Naturally China is growling about keeping TicTok running. It's their backdoor into the U.S. Government. Even if they block it at the office, their kids are still being brainwashed by it. It's only a matter of time before all these brainwashed kids are in charge of this country, and China will just come marching right in passing out candies and sex toys to all of them. There will be no-one left to resist.
    2
  380. Why is the CEO getting mad if he's got nothing to hide?😮 They put a media major in charge. 😂
    2
  381. No no, Russia destroyed FIVE of them! 😂 Five whole systems, and Ukraine only has two - with multiple launchers. 😢
    2
  382. 🇺🇦🤠👍👍 Civilians: Get Out Now! Come back later... 😉
    2
  383. MAGA is working for our enemies. The Republicans are not about helping their own people. They want to shut us down too, not just Ukraine. Ukraine is just a small part of it. They want to roll back society altogether.
    2
  384. Highlander says, "What kept you?"
    2
  385. "Uh uh..."
    2
  386. We can take out a lot of their nukes with conventional weapons, but if they continue to use them, we'll have to respond in kind.
    2
  387. Well, that's news... What they're not telling you is that Putin is put-in' himself up for Sainthood. The breakthrough hasn't even happened yet, dudes. Until that happens, the counteroffensive hasn't even really begun. 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
    2
  388. 🤫 It's a secret.
    2
  389. I don't see how it could hurt. Other than to piss Russia off, I see no ill effects, and that is probably a positive at this point.
    2
  390. That's not gridlock. Gridlock is intolerance of partners and other people's ideas.
    2
  391. Apparently, this guy has no knowledge of cyberwarfare. China is doing China. They're really not interested in joining the international order.
    2
  392. I think the Philippines 🇵🇭 are a more likely foe than Taiwan. 🇹🇼 They have had a lot to be angry about, and it hasn't been diminishing.
    2
  393. Putin has finally succeeded in getting the entire free world against him. Russia is desperate to hold onto Donetsk. It was an important objective in 2014 for many strategic reasons and they don't want to lose it.
    2
  394. Not declaring war on Russia - at this time...
    2
  395. It could have just as easily come through Hong Kong the other way.
    2
  396. Who knew! China and Russia? No way! Some say WWIII has already started. What's clear is that it won't be like anything we expected to be. All our Presidents' Men have no way of anticipating what thos war will really be like. The one thing we do know is that wars have always started somehow, all through history. The right thing to do is get as ready as we can, while keeping an open mind and open eyes.
    2
  397. What makes everyone so sure the Whitehouse is going to just jump right in a protect Taiwan? That's not what our doctrine says. China and Russia are still eating sour grapes from the cold war. They view the present power balance as a lost opportunity that their predecessors bungled.
    2
  398. Don't get on thaf plane! 😬
    2
  399. I'm expecting Putin to order a surprise attack in the North somewhere above Kharkiv. Maybe when the ground freezes so they can attack with massed armor.
    2
  400. We must give them the MISSILES! 👍🧐👍🇺🇦🇩🇪
    2
  401. This variant turned up in Hong Kong surprisingly soon. It's a good thing the CCP has made all those preparations in the last few weeks. Stockpiling food, buttoning up Beijing,...
    2
  402. I'm sure China is getting ready to do a lot more than provide arms to Russia. They've already declared they're all in with Russia.
    2
  403. Crimea is fair game. Drive the civilian occupiers out, and blow the bridge as soon as possible. If they won't leave in a week then let them weep.
    2
  404. We only wish China is neutral. They're about as neutral as North Korea, and BTW, it doesn't take a reentry capable warhead to set off an EMP. They can get Kim to do that, ans while while he's making noise, they can come right across the Arctic with everything they've got. You've got to look at the value of war from their ponit of view, not your own. They only care about their people as a revenue generator and a reservoir of troops.
    2
  405. Only in America!😂🤪🥵🤗 Told'ja it was hotter in the U.S.! Ya'll ain't got nothin' on us! 😎 Dude: if it hits 140°F, you won't need a chafing dish!
    2
  406. Oh please no. Why would you renew them!
    2
  407. Wait 'til he uses a nuke first, Jeez! ☠️☢️
    2
  408. I think it's a good thing Ukraine is able to make their own weapons again. Patience is wearing thinner in Washington than they want us to know - Especially with outbursts from Ukraine's foreign ministry. We want them to win, but we're not going to accept insults and slander. The Right's view can move to the Center very quickly. Vlodimir Zelenski is holding this whole thing together, but he should not be undermined by spurious statements.
    2
  409. Donetsk to Novoazovsk 😉
    2
  410.  @brettconn3441  Yeah, he should remember that...
    2
  411. This is going to be a long slog.
    2
  412. Let's get them hummers movin'! 🇺🇸🇺🇦🇺🇸🇺🇦 troops need to eat.
    2
  413. MORE! 😁
    2
  414. Pipelines don't work without compressors.
    2
  415. Hah! We lead yet again!
    2
  416. Everyone should be pouring money into fusion research.
    2
  417. 🤨 They're hitting the flanks and Wagner can't deal. Prigozhin is being set up as a scapegoat to the Russian people. He fits the mold, being a convict, and all his complaining fits too.
    2
  418. Interestingly, China has stolen the Israeli warning system app. You can bet U.S. collaboration in the Iron Dome project is going to diminish.
    2
  419. The Russians successfully stopped the drone with their ship. Now they need an anti-sub drone. 😉 (I guess they'd better target the front half, maybe sonar homing or something like that. Or maybe nevermind the radiation. The reactor is probably right in the middle.) 😜
    2
  420. I think the reason Putin is placing nuclear weapons in Belarus is to keep the West from intervening in it's annexation.
    2
  421. They are already smuggling weapons through their so-called "private" companies. Dual use rifles, and plenty of electronic components and ammunition. The entire UN apparatus is a farce. There is no enforcement without concensus, and there is never concensus.
    2
  422. This is why the U.S. put Hershey bars in the rations. I wonder if panty hose would still help. Probably something else, like hand warmers. Feed the troops better than the population too. 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
    2
  423. We'll be buying the Russian modules, simple as that. Everyone who goes up is already trained to operate the thrust and control elements.
    2
  424. There's no point in worrying about whether or not Putin will use nukes or not. Just assume that he will, because he's a nut job and he wants to, because the U.S. got to use two in WWII. He might be satisfied after he gets to use two also. Just prepare yourself and carry on the way you see fit.
    2
  425. NIDO needs water too! 😮
    2
  426. The time is not yet right for F-16s, nor is the PLA ready to invade Taiwan. When the timing is right for Ukraine to have more advanced fighter jets, they will be provided, and when China is ready, they won't have to attack, because the contest will have been won. Read Sun Tzu, hotlips.
    2
  427. Nuke His Train! The walls are closing in on Putin. Look for that troop buildup on Georgia's northern border... Who does he have left? Why is this party in power? They seem like a minority, based on popular opnion.
    2
  428. So, was the balloon a reverse excuse to ignore sanctions? Are we going to enforce these sanctions or not?
    2
  429. They need to attack the Capital Donetsk. 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
    2
  430. Even the North Pole is manufacturing weapons against Russia's evil army.
    2
  431. What about TEMU? You've got to install their app to get the discounts. They say they're not gathering data, but who really knows? It's PRC owned, like everything else.
    2
  432.  @chench1lla  What rules? The strongest write the rules. That is why China will not be allowed to succeed in it's planned hegemony.
    2
  433. That's what they need, to get rid of their last few competent commanders. Then they can surrender. Now he's parading around like a western politician, but it won't last.
    2
  434. Disassemble Russia 🇷🇺
    2
  435. I tip my hat to the new revolution!
    2
  436. Gucci Boots will have to fight for real now!
    2
  437. Good Idea
    2
  438. They'll be dumping on Pregozhen soon. They'll try to blame as much of Putin's failure on him as possible.
    2
  439. Kind of makes you question what they make weapons for. I'll wager they're worried about doing business with China. They don't want sanctions. They might be thinking about oil too.
    2
  440. She's absolutely right. Putin is perfectly willing to drag the world down with him. There is also strong evidence that he has Thyroid Cancer, and by the way he's acting, it's terminal.
    2
  441. Wagner...
    2
  442. It's what we call, "Showing the flag."
    2
  443. Lula is on good terms with China too.
    2
  444. Who knew!
    2
  445. China is nobody's friend, not even Russia's. Their long term goal is Global Domination. They have clearly stated that as their goal.
    2
  446. One thing is clear: China did it, and they covered it up. It makes little difference now where it evolved. Their coverup caused the pandemic. The origin of the pandemic is the Chinese Communist Party's coverup. The spread of the virus could have been contained if China had been transparent about it, then it wouldn't have turned into a pandemic in the first place. Instead, they went around the World, buying back masks and other PPE, ensuring that the virus would be able to spread throughout other countries and be able to circulate around the World from multiple directions. Pandemic literally means a spread virus that has crossed over to other countries from where the first infections occured.
    2
  447. US has every right to be in Asia after we saved China from Japanese slavery in World War II.
    2
  448. So, what this all boils down to is Henry Kissinger's slight of hand to set China against Russia, and win us the Vietnam War, which obviously didn't work. So he threw Taiwan under the bus, because one asian country is as good as another. Watch, "Battle Beneath The Earth", then get the seismographs out. Taiwan had better beef up their military a lot better than it has so far. If they can hit drones with rocks, they can surely hit them with shotguns. This video is essential knowledge. China loves to play the "mind your own business" card until it suits them to mind other countries' business themselves. U.S. Taiwan policy is an internal matter. One overblown diplomat doesn't change that.
    2
  449. Well, enjoy it while it lasts. I just had the heat on two days ago, and now the AC is on.
    2
  450. The brinkmanship is down to a few cans of diesel fuel. I guess they'll start adding water tower generators to nuclear plants after this.
    2
  451. That's a good report. Most of these TV journalists don't seem to quite get it. Oops, did I say, CNN?
    2
  452. Deleverage 😜
    2
  453. Now we're talking... Who wants to be friendly with them? Slowly, diplomatic relations are breaking down, like we're heading for another world war. China is doing similar things with "Western" (read, white) businesses too.
    2
  454. The EU should be moving it to Africa like they're supposed to do. Obviously, people are going profiteer without government intervention. EU signed to help with the war, and that's what they should do. Get the IMF to finance transport.
    2
  455. They need more AAA.
    2
  456. Every day, Putin seems to get older... 🤔 China's Diplomatic Terrorism: "Anger" is doctrine.
    2
  457. The regular Russian Army is moving in troops. They aren't very concerned. That's why they've been shorting Wagner on ammunition, because they're planning to take over in that area. They're all pretty obvious. It must be a Russian thing to backstab each other in public. They all probably realize they're going to lose, it's just that nobody wants to be the first one to make a move on Putin. I think Prigozhin is a hard worker, and that's how he got where he is. You can bet he has Putin approval to pull out of Bakhmut or he wouldn't do it. So he's giving the military what for. That deflects responsibility from Putin, which is just what he wants. He's all about personal power. Imperialism is all about personal gain. The country is just the means.
    2
  458. State Sponser of Terrorism
    2
  459. After he takes all the countries he's been Putin' separatists in, he'll go after the other former soviet satellites.
    2
  460. 😄
    2
  461. We'll see... Next on the agenda: Putin must resign, and face a War Crimes tribunal. In practical terms, Putin's statements mean that nothing short of assassination or nuclear war will end this.
    2
  462. Nice hair ❤🎉
    2
  463. China's banks have been borrowing money from US to loan to the Belt and Road initiative. So now, it's coming due. You an take everything she says, take the opposite, and it will be true. Classic shell game. When we take away their developing, and most favored nation status, they will no longer be insulated from their mistakes.
    2
  464. Better prepare. Putin's losing his cool... 🚀
    2
  465. Supplies aren't getting to the front lines, and Ukrainians are looking for scapegoats. They need to look hard at what's going on in Lviv. Someone's looking for future profits, or they're just plain scared the russians will attack the city.
    2
  466. Putin is scaring them with all his nuclear talk. They know those bombs won't just be going out, and if it really comes down to it, Russia won't be a healthy place to live.
    2
  467. I think a submarine crew is trolling us after that balloon was shot down. The question is, from which country? "Two words, Mr. President, 'plausible deniability.'"
    2
  468. Never trust a man who thinks he can defend his property with an empty shotgun. They'd better get more ready than they are, that much is certain. They need more reserves, and the best training for them. America's best defense is our qualified and responsible firearms ownership, not a bunch of wackos with guns.
    2
  469. He should'a kept going. 😮
    2
  470. Were these "assurances" made as promises to the USSR, or were they just statements? Does an "assurance" to the U.S.S.R. count as a promise to Russia? No more reason than Putin's own aggression is needed to justify Eastern Bloc Nations joining NATO. He needs to look inward to Russia and himself to find the real answer to his dilemma.
    2
  471. Are we so scared that we want Putin to stay in power? Ridiculous!
    2
  472. State Sponsored Terrorism: where's the declaration? Do we have to ask China and Russia's permission? What a bad joke on the free world. The only reason to stay in Bakhmut now is to get the reat of the civilians out, then they can level the place with the Russians in it.
    2
  473. The Republicans are reduced to invoking ghosts from past Presidencies of the Democrats, like Benghazi, Whitewater, First Ladies,... - weak, very weak
    2
  474. Now that we're looking at it, it's probably not that far down on Putin's list of things to do.
    2
  475. This variant turned up in Hong Kong surprisingly soon. It's a good thing the CCP has made all those preparations in the last few weeks.
    2
  476. Well, we know what the Confuscious Institute is for...
    2
  477. Isn't that a Boeing 747 at the airport?
    2
  478. U.S. should block the East side around Taiwan with naval assets.
    2
  479. An attack in NATO territory! Do you really have to show Peskov's face? Sour Grapes 🍇
    2
  480. Roswell was a cover-up of cadaver testing. They wanted to know if soldiers could still function after a fall from various heights.
    2
  481. They're bleeding Russia dry.
    2
  482. Hmmm... 🤔 This will make Putin happy. 😂
    2
  483. Once the ground freezes, T-54s will be coming out of the woodwork, all across the russian border. No joke... 😒 ☠️ (rip)
    2
  484. You mean Assad and Russia are politicizing...
    2
  485. Someone should explain to these dictators what an election is for. 😅
    2
  486. If Putin can't have it, he'll destroy it.
    2
  487. You'd have to nuke Russia first before Ukraine can join, until they win.
    2
  488. Here we go again. Just what Putin wanted. You can bet SVR is in like ticks.
    2
  489. They don't need our state of the art main battle tanks to beat Russia. They're still getting Russian style tanks from other countries on a reimbursement program. They are already planning on exporting "State of the Art" weapons...
    2
  490. U.S. better police its own backyard before we lose another country to overseas influence.
    2
  491. The Western corridor must be 100% protected from missile strikes, and should continue on to Ky'iv, and North to Lutsk. Vladimir Putin is Clinically Anti-Social. That is not the same as crazy. He knows exactly what he's doing. He just doesn't care as much about consequences as normal people do. He's emotionally numb to outside influence.
    2
  492. First of all, they'd better decide if these and other vehicles are tanks, or armored fighting vehicles... BTW, it's Nu-Cle-Ar, Mr. President.
    2
  493. Putin is fixated on the cities, so they become strong points in this conflict. Send in the Sardaukar!
    2
  494. Odesa and Lviv? 🤔 They've really got little option but wide flanking maneuvures. They can't really break through very much.
    2
  495. You can trust the Communist to be a Communist.
    2
  496. It's all determined by game theory at Washington think tanks, then the politicians make arbitrary decisions because they don't understand mathematics.
    2
  497. We should make no mistake. If China thinks they will succeed, they will go.
    2
  498. "You know we are boss!"
    2
  499. You don't just turn over the Crown Jewels on request. I hope they use them well. I'm expecting more, but that hinges on our new tank projects. It's pretty clear we don't need as many fancy upgrades as we thought.
    2
  500. Considering China is planning kinetic war with the United States, the timing is reasonable to begin commiting more provacative acts.
    2
  501. The map begs for a northern flanking maneuvure across from the border. I doubt they'll succeed, but Putin isn't really capable of understanding that. The hope is probably to retake Kharkiv after a feint toward Kyiv.
    2
  502. 3 to 1 to attack. 1 to 3 to defend. That's the axiom. One thing that's limiting Germany is their weapons are in short supply. They need to manufacture replacements just as they deliver these weapons in order to maintain their own defenses.
    2
  503. Life expectancy is not going up. The latest statistics prove otherwise. People are dying sooner. This rationale for raising the refirement age is invalid. The establishment that wants the rest of us to work fails to realize that the lying down movement is growing.
    2
  504. Russia got Putin wrong.
    2
  505. Are your people safe? Germany is finally suffering the same fate as everyone else, being sucked dry by China.
    2
  506. All farming should be done with desalinated water. 🫒☝️🥸🥕 Or recycled...
    2
  507. Oh NOSE! Is Merckle coming back? 😮
    2
  508. You can bet the SVR is all over Eastern Germany, poking the bear...
    2
  509. Exactly. It's just more of Putin's gaslighting.
    2
  510. Vietnam grows really good cinnamon! 😋 We are trying to "Curb" China, stop them from dumping 🐕 on everybody like they do now.
    2
  511. Putin and Trump can sit in the pen together. 😂🎉🎉
    2
  512. Aren't we all? 😢 This is too much like, "Rama II".
    2
  513. 👍🇩🇪🇺🇦👍 Walter has the world turned around. 😜😉
    2
  514. It's pretty obvious they're planning the same scorched earth tactic they always use. Ukraine used the Sun Tzu tactics on them, so they had to leave.
    2
  515. The Philippines are getting ready to protect their territory from Chinese incursions. What China will do then will be on them.
    2
  516. AI is making up for the lack of workers. That is what is keeping our economies afloat. The problem is that only the few are getting the benefit. TAX THE RICH.
    2
  517. And this is another example of why we shouldn't have gone there...
    2
  518. LNG, Baby! Maybe Germany should develop nuclear...
    2
  519. Better get more submarines. 😒
    2
  520. The long saga of Turkey... Erdogan is backdooring with Putin. Where there's smoke, there's fire.
    2
  521. It is true that someone has to act on Putin. Someone in Russia needs to handle this before their whole country gets turned to ash. China couldn't care less what happens in Russia as long as the fallout doesn't reach Beijing.
    2
  522. Russia's allies will try to create distractions. There is no doubt Beijing will try to influence politics in Taiwan just as they do elsewhere. Everyone knows China has stepped up their game in the last few years, and Hong Kong is a newly acquired front.
    2
  523. Poison? Well, we know who does that! Spetsnaz in Poland... 🇵🇱
    2
  524. Pump seawater down into the wells...
    2
  525. Three guesses. They thought they were Palestinians.
    2
  526. Think of all the things Wagner Group has done internationally, and Putin just admitted that he is the one funding it.
    2
  527. China is getting tired of us finding out they're still planning to take over the World! 😜 China is quite simply an untrustworthy partner. Just don't go there! Shut it down. Shut it all DOWN!
    2
  528. Russia hasn't even made it to the railroad through the middle of the city.
    2
  529. Riiiight. Uh, news flash buddy...
    2
  530. It's time to peal back the rest of the shadow upon the world. Authoritarian regimes across the world must be defeated. Many of these in smaller nations are supported either by Russia or China, or both. Once their autocracies are eliminated, the rest can be dealt with more easily. The future of the human race depends on it.
    2
  531. SVR? When you have an election and you don't go...
    2
  532. NATO can destroy just about all of Russia's nuclear force with conventional weapons. If they don't give up by then, they will bring about their own annihilation.
    2
  533. Finally 🎉
    2
  534. Now would be a good time to blow the Kerch Bridge. Let the Russians reap the full benefits of what they have just sown. This was their only other water supply besides the pipeline across the Kerch Straight. Putin obviously doesn't care about his own people, so he wouldn't mind using a tactical nuke if he's losing Crimea. The fallout will only blow across southern Russia.
    2
  535. I think we are done with cold war tactics. It is time to end this standoff. Russia could have had it a lot easier, but they chose conflict. You reap what you sow.
    2
  536. Let them have Bakhmut. It will be a killbox. Retake Donetsk. Right now, Ukraine needs to preserve pilots for their big offensive.
    2
  537. The names of the countries have switched, but the situation looks very much like the lead up to WWII. We're already having the trench warfare of WWI, so I don't think it will take a lot more to set things off. 😢 The rhetoric doesn't matter. People will do what they want. I hadn't really thought about it that much, but China's naval build up puts them at an area advantage against the U.S. That is what Japan was doing at the beginnings of their aggressions in the Pacific region. To what end should be the question. It certainly is not for defensive purpose alone. That many ships are only necessary for an attack.
    2
  538. Conservation is not the issue. It's, yes, the Climate!
    2
  539. This will help keep their morale up. 😉
    2
  540. Doing WHAT now? Their whole country must have no-one left but Sociopaths. They're lucky all of Russia isn't in flames right now! 🔥
    2
  541. Lives are the most important thing now. US is talking about strategy, not negotiations. They don't want Ukraine to give up any land.
    2
  542. Use Oxygen Concentrators to eliminate most of NOx, which is the biggest pollutant besides CO2. If you burn hydrogen without the nitrogen in air, you don't get any NOx. Marian should wait to sell. The price will go up once the factory is operating. Ironic, isn't it?
    2
  543. Angela did it. Ocham's razor says no-one else would have benefitted...
    2
  544. The Russians obviously knew it was a drone.

  545. How about starting with all EU NATO countries spending 2% of their GDP on military? 🤥

  548. ...knowing full well, that river crossing was a Putin fau pa of his own making. I can't believe any real military commander would ever concieve of such a poor plan!

  549. China holds one of the Jokers, and Russia holds the other
    2
  550. Can Europe afford to become a vassal of China? Time is running out.
    2
  551. Hit that column with .50 cals. Take out the trucks, you take out the tanks. Putin wants nuclear war. That looked like a thermobaric bomb.
    2
  552. Ukraine needs to make a strongpoint of Donetsk. They've got Kharkiv and Kherson as bulwarks against further Russian advances. Now they need a bulwark to solidify their push towards retaking the rest of Ukraine. Sooner or later, Putin is going to run out of loyalty - later probably. 😢 The Marshall Zhukov strategy cannot last.
    2
  553. If they give it up, they will just have to retake it. You can't bring those civilians back to life though. There are still many. From what I see, the people really pushing for a retreat are the journalists. Lloyd Austin did not say Bakhmut wasn't worth keeping. He simply said if they withdraw, they can put those troops in a strategic location. This is one place they could use more 105mm weapons and other smaller weapons. The U.S. Military is by no means telling Ukraine to retreat. That is not from us!
    2
  554. We have spies in D.C., always have.
    2
  555. It's not just the humans, other animals must be prepared as well. That's the price of life in the natural world.
    2
  556. This was Putin and Trump working together with China. Don't be fooled by Trump's act with China. He's being handled by the SVR.
    2
  557. If you really believe we don't know how much heat humans can take, check out the food safety requirements for catering services. Death Valley, CA is almost at the limit with 133°F (56°C). A chafing dish minimum temperature begins at 140°F (60°C) to prevent bacterial growth.

  558. 😂😂 this guy needs a mustache stylist. You can buy those sweatshirts btw. 👍👍
    2
  559. Good idea 🤗
    2
  560. You know they're getting help from somewhere... these missiles don't make themselves. We have to increase our supply to Ukraine 🇺🇦 or we'll be next. We are fighting against an alliance here, not just Russia. It's time for our governments to wake up!
    2
  561. Russian troops have always been poorly led and poorly trained, and their solution has always been to exploit their numbers and bleed their armies to make up for lack of quality. Their problem is, every Ukrainian is a Rifle Man. 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦😱
    2
  562. Realistically, it could easily be 11,000 Russian casualties. They are not being evacuated, so those troops are effectively out of action, regardless of whether they're dead or not.
    2
  563. They have metal detectors... unlike Russia, Ukraine cleans up their mess. Ban war, and see how that goes, then we'll talk about banning weapons.
    2
  564. Great, another nut job enters the fray!😂
    2
  565. At this point, it's more like Ukraine should be allowed to nuke Russia, not the other way around!
    2
  566. I'm sorry, but this coup is justified. It remains to be seen whether they will install a true democracy though.
    2
  567. Balloongate 🎈 Hey! That's where I live! They usually wash the planes there... I just hope nobody drops a big one here, but they probably will if anywhere. 😩🍄
    2
  568. Very much on the mark. Ukraine needs to focus on defense and not try to retake so much - for now. This can make the difference in adequate supplies.
    2
  569. Send 'em on Scholzy! They need to start training now, at the very least, if they haven't started already... Everyone should take a lesson from SecDef Austin, and stop trying to piss off Germany. Recognize that they're doing a lot! You can't keep thinking Putin makes sense when nothing he's doing towards Ukraine is making any sense. He will make another big push into Ukraine because hhe wants to, not because it's a good idea.
    2
  570. Shaffner! Shaffner! He's the guy at the Festival. Ayah?
    2
  571. Macy's has escalators, not NATO. Every time Russia cries, NATO listens. They're like the boys who cry wolf every time they're afraid of something. All the technology that we're sending Ukraine is being replaced or upgraded by newer technologies. We have nothing to lose by cleaning out our closets of older equipment so we have room for more. Maybe Schultz wants Macron to put up some Le Clercs.
    2
  572. Maybe he'll step down. 🤪
    2
  573. They need to take Donetsk eventually. Bakhmut is a kill box, better to be get on the outside and save some troops. Let it be a symbol of Putin's lunacy.
    2
  574. The biggest cover up is that they've been working on Coronavirus vaccines since last October before the virus got out of the gain of function lab in Wuhan. If they didn't have a vaccine, there would be too many bodies to hide. The reason for their cyberattacks is to keep the West from developing their own vaccine before China can exploit the virus.

    2
  579. Maximum... and look who's the judge.
    2
  580. China continues to lie about having jurisdiction over Taiwan, so the free world is responding with obfuscation of the real situation. Let the chinese worry about where we stand. We have no need to clarify to a bully.
    2
  581. That's a good sight to see! 👍👍
    2
  582. Because Russia's social evolution is stilted at best.
    2
  583. Let's give Putin the bullwhip! Don't confuse Jesus with GEICO! 🐸
    2
  584. Russia has clearly stated that they will use tactical nukes to defend Russian territory if it is necessary to defend it.
    2
  585. Good Stuff!
    2
  586. Why are we still talking about this?
    2
  587. Go East young men! Not South...
    2
  588. Watch out for Russian drones...
    2
  589. There's no shame in nukin' Putin. We're entering a period of diminishing returns for not attacking Russia.
    2
  590. 😱 More meat for the grinder

  591. Main Battle Tanks are not "Transformers." Don't invest all your expections in them.

  592. 105s 105s 105s...

  593. People need to realize what the media is, and stop believing everything they say. They can only report what they know. War is for warriors.
    2
  594. Omicron is the latest product from the PLA's lab in Wuhan. Belt, Road, and Germ Warfare is textbook Sun Tzu.
    2
  595. Putin still wants Odessa for a bigger yacht. Biden's strategy, obviously, is not saving civilians from a mass murderer. This is the heart of the international responsibilty in this conflict.
    2
  596. They're dropping all pretenses. It's coming time to reep the results of all their preparations. They must believe they've gotten most of what they need done.
    2
  597. 🦷🦷😆
    2
  598. Makes a nice headline, but Wagner is getting their butts kicked.
    2
  599. 😮😢😨😱🥺 Nu nu NUKYALER!!! 🤯 In the '60s it was a pretty new technology. A large part of the cost has been dealing with delays caused by fear mongering politics interfering with research. I agree though, that they should have been more careful to begin. That one guy is clearly anti-nuke biased. It wouldn't matter if atomic plants were as safe as flowers. God forbid he learns about breeder reactors. That would completely upset his apple cart.
    2
  600. WOW! Totally Bizarre interview. He's more or less admitted to everything, and he's one of Putin's close advisors still! Obviously not close enough though.
    2
  601. Do unto others...
    2
  602. I think the dictators are trying to gather allies, and leaders of democracies in their group are rightly taking them for what they can get.

  603. Saw that coming... 😜 any russian civilians still there are fools.
    2
  604. WOW, I like that blond in the chemical suit!

  605. Nuclear Deslination
    2
  606. It's time to lock and load. Commmunist China is coming upon a reckoning for their blatant aggressions.
    2
  607. Everybody, keep sending them materiel. That's the name of the game! Russian supply line is still longer, but not by as much anymore. Any break in the supplies will be felt worse by Ukrainian fighters than it was, fighting around Ky'iv.
    2
  608. "Aliens testify before Congress" 🤠
    2
  609. We've been in proxy wars with Russia ever since Putin came to power. Before that is was the U.S.S.R. This one is no different. Air attacks are the main reason for lives lost. The tanks may or may not have made a difference in recent battles. Ukraine had lots of tanks already, evidenced by their success in protecting K'yiv and pushing back the russian incursion. The advantage new MBT tanks will bring is in repelling the coming russian tank offensive and in finally driving out the Russian armies once and for all.
    2
  610. Erdogan up for reelection soon.
    2
  611. Nuke his train. 🚉 They can use multiple, targeted airburst munitions with some of this modern artillary, and get a similar effect to cluster munitions. A bit less efficient, but effective nevertheless. SO, give them the right proximity fuses for their artillary if you're not going to give them cluster bombs. It's their land that they will have to extract these unexploded cluster bombs from.
    2
  612. They want to find out for themselves. Let them.
    2
  613. Long overdue. Send an expeditionary force. He's just a puppet president. He's incompetent if he's not complicit in allowing all the cartel traffic into the United States. He's shown he has no interest in helping us, and so we must help ourselves. If we took over Mexico, 🇲🇽 we wouldn't have to worry about the border anymore! 🤪
    2
  614. China will win the arctic after it annexes Russia. It is the Premier Near Arctic Nation! 🥶
    2
  615. Putin wants war with NATO. It's as simple as that. He won't stop until he gets it. NATO's excuses for not sending Patriots are totally lame.
    2
  616. You left out Star Trek conventions.
    2
  617. The only way I can see to deal with this is to surround the power plant and cut them off from supply and tactical information so they can no longer attack from there. Make those bastards surrender and face war crimes trials. The railway is cautiously up again. I think they're taking a big chance to save face, because either of these two bridges could collapse as the hidden internal damage is stressed by traffic. I'm thinking of the Ramagen bridge in WWII. It lasted a few days before it finally collapsed. It would be nice if they could hit it again though, just to be sure.
    2
  618. How many SVR agents are in the neighborhood?
    2
  619. Donetsk is the key to the whole smash.
    2
  620. He's evacuating all four Oblasts. What if he blows up the nuclear plant? When the wind blows West, he just might. Don't underestimate the crazy! 🤪
    2
  621. 10 to1 they take Vladivostok back.
    2
  622. China: Stop competing with us and just let us take over! Look how we've taken care of our own Han people. Never mind about those other people.
    2
  623. The Yangs and the Comms, like an old Star Trek episode.
    2
  624. Prepare the, "Laser!" If they think the U.S. won't intervene, then they'll attack.
    2
  625. Now is not the time to move back into reclaimed territories. This is evolving into a missile war, with strikes now going in both directions. This is going to get worse. Let ATACMS rain down on all the Russian missile launchers. This will escalate because Putin wants it to escalate, not because of anything we do. The Russians have enough weapons to keep this up for years on end, and they are no strangers to economic hardship. We're just delaying the inevitable by not giving Ukraine all the weapons that we can. Let's get this over with!
    2
  626. Journalists keep trying to inflame issues between the allies. Between Putin and Xi, the two of them are planning a war with the U.S. - Maybe they expect to make a distraction with North Korea, and take us out quick. More likely though that Xi and Putin are suicidal because they're both losers!
    2
  627. In Donbas?
    2
  628. "If" China supplies [more] weapons to Russia, they will blame NATO and Ukraine for not accepting their peace proposal.
    2
  629. So, what else is new...?
    2
  630. Xi is just biding his time until he sees a benefit to being involved. Then he'll make a move. If Russia makes nuclear strikes on NATO, the absolute best strategy for NATO is total annihilation of Russia's nuclear capability as soon as possible. Then, we have to be prepared for China, North Korea, and Iran to make attacks in their own interests. Both China and japan have scores to settle with Russia, and they both lost territory to Russia in World War 2. The idea that Russia will stay in one piece after this is over is unrealistic.
    2
  631. It's the ever circling skeletal family. 😂🎉 Seriously, if you don't want to be in it you don't have to be. Welcome to the CCP family. 😅
    2
  632. This looks a lot like a Trumpian failed coup.
    2
  633. Clean out the closets, there's a war on! I just hope they don't blow up. Old propellants can be unstable. Send with Safety Glasses. 😉
    2
  634. ❤❤❤❤ Thank You, Doctor!
    2
  635. Notice he dropped that 150 Million users figure, as in, 150 Million voters. That's typical CCP style manipulation. He just outed himself as an operative for the Chinese government. Of course, the leftist Posse fell right into the honey trap!
    2
  636. It is of interest that the increase in gun violence has accelerated along with TicTik use. How much of a coincidence is that, I wonder.
    2
  637. They have to take Donetsk. Why would they give up Bakhmut when it is right in the way?
    2
  638. Goodbye, Moscow
    2
  639. China seems to be very confident they have the upper hand over democratic nations. They are planning to dominate asian democracies, one by one if needed. The CCP has clearly chosen sides.
    2
  640. Where'd they get the money?
    2
  641. Ed Zachary, and it's Putin's priviledge to get himself nuked any time he wants to. 😉
    2
  642. No way! Not Russians! 😢
    2
  643. Sounds like there's corruption everywhere.
    2
  644. Watch that left flank. That's all I can say. Slava Ukraini! 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦

  645. Fooled again...
    2
  646. Behind every successful man is a good woman! 👩 😉
    2
  647. I think this is looking more like a revolution than a civil war. It's the common people against the elite government. A repeat of the last one.
    2
  648. Ukraine is already talking about exporting arms. I don't think they need our latest technology at this point.
    2
  649. Ukraine can keep these different tank types in separate units so there is little confusion over operations and support. Ukraine is a big country and there's plenty of room. 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦 China and Russia have been like caged animals, waiting for us to get weak so they can attack. This has been their strategy all along. It's time to give up on our delusions of peace with dictatorships. Peace is not what dictators do.
    2
  650. This is like all the Confederate statues in the United States. All these monuments do is continue the tension.
    2
  651. Some Ukraine defense officials said a few weeks ago that it started already. No Michael Bay scenes, sorry. Russia is swindling African Nations out of their diamonds, gold, and anything else they can get of value. The problem is, we've allowed them to place warlords in power throughout the continent. Peace mongering does not work.
    2
  652. "You better not!" 😭 Flank the flankers! Russia leaves their own flanks poorly protected when they attack.
    2
  653. Way to max colors with Alexandra, Phil. 😅

  654. What a goon. Are you an Igor?

  655. Never trust someone who says, "Nookyaler."
    2
  656. Down with Kremlin! He's not named Vlad for no reason. These protesters are all criminals now, so they'll all go right into the military.
    2
  657. Russia is using Bahkmut to keep Ukraine away from their supply railroad. Give Ukraine more 105s.
    2
  658. 🤦🤦‍♀️🤦‍♂️
    2
  659. 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦👋🤠👍🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
    2
  660. Putin is obviously embarassed. They need to return him more russian ammunition. As if Putin hasn't implicated himself enough, his speech is clear proof of his intent and guilt of war crimes against the civilians of Ukraine.
    2
  661. Russia will probably attack from there, but I wouldn't bank on Belarus itself. However, if they think they can be successful, they will attack.
    2
  662. Supplies are needed, In the East: They need kerosene heaters with cooktops, and mini, fire-powered chargers for phones - and lots of cardboard and plastic sheet rolls and duct tape and twine,...
    2
  663. Climate Change is speeding up. The main stream projections are wrong, because they've been linear.
    2
  664. A usurper while the prime minister is away.
    2
  665. Without Putin proppin', they're in big trouble, because China alone doesn't have the clout to support them.
    2
  666. Knew it... 😏😄 Don't believe anything until you hear it from the Whitehouse. 🇺🇸🤠👍 They can run off of McDonald's hamburgers. That's why we closed them down in Moscow, in case one gets captured. 😜
    2
  667. Get those people out of there! Then you can bombard russians freely. 😉😉 Putin's going to say, "It's mine now!" Which really means nothing unless the West allows it... so what will we do? We don't call this, "Strategic Withdrawal" for nothing. Russia is paying a heavy toll for every inch.
    2
  668. Putin's dying and he knows it. I'm glad to see Germany coming out from under it's historical cloud. We need all hands on deck for the coming decades.
    2
  669. They need frag rockets or something.
    2
  670. It's time for the UN to step up it's game...
    2
  671. They need Amtracs for Kherson. It would also help if they block the City of Donetsk somehow. 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
    2
  672. National Guard is the way to go! 🤠🤠
    2
  673. Hmmm, what will he do when election comes around?
    2
  674. There's plenty of room in Russia.
    2
  675. The Russians got Kherson because Ukraine was betrayed. Kharkiv and Kherson are pivitol.
    2
  676. And here comes Putin and starts a war right in the middle of all this.
    2
  677. Send some LeClercs and Schultz will break. 🐁 🐀
    2
  678. Old planes will not help without more and adequate anti-air resources. They need sophisticated anti- missile systems also. If we're not going to give them that, then it falls on us to protect them ourselves.
    2
  679. Keel them! Wagner is tops! "Tojoho'o!" These posers gotta die! Remember Caen in France. We bombed it into ruin, and it made it much harder to take control of.
    2
  680. Something like this has been expected. We couldn't ask for a more probable candidate.
    2
  681. Grain just passin' through... but you could cut their stress level with a knife over there. Putin's gotta go, and the Kremlin's gotta go after him.
    2
  682. Half of them are still trying to deny climate change. The U.S. NOAA has known about this at least since 2002 when i did a report on it for a class. They've been predicting sea level rise for decades because of global warming.
    2
  683. Maybe Ukraine can take somewhere else, like Donetsk!🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
    2
  684. "Conserve the fighting force" - that means ammo too. I'm seeing a lot of videos of disabled armor being fired on multiple times with expensive ordnance. The western nations won't keep sending billions of dollars in equipment forever.
    2
  685. He's a goner now... The thing is though, Putin needs Wagner overseas, because his economy will collapse without the resources from Africa and others. If they leave him alive, Wagner will be in Belarus! What would that mean?
    2
  686. And Belgarod for compensation!
    2
  687. Seriously...
    2
  688. Throw him out!
    2
  689. What about Japanese military co-operation with the Philippines? I'm sure that's something for them both to consider. 🇵🇭 🇯🇵
    2
  690. 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦 Donetsk should be evacuated. Go live in Russia. They've got plenty of land. The best defense against Air Strikes is Counter-Strikes, and the Whitehouse knows it. How many civilians have to die for your nuclear peace of mind?
    2
  691. Philippines 🇵🇭 needs bigger boats.

  694. Diatomaceous Earth - kills bugs by scratching their outside coating. They can't survive without that waxy outershell. They dehydrate if they don't get diseased first.
    2
  695. The Pentagon spokeman just said two hours ago, they have no plans to send M1s to Ukraine. This is all Red Herring stuff from people that don't know what they are talking about. German tanks are a separate matter, and Germany speaks for itself. "Jet Fuel" is glorified kerosene. The M1 turbines are multi-fuel and can run on many types of fuel. They are specifically designed for versatility because they do use a lot. The issues are more complicated than that. Next they'll have the press believing in UFOs. Well they probably do already, but they changed the name a little.
    2
  696. War is coming. Both sides won't back down. 😢😢
    2
  697. An attack is imminent! 😮

  699. It's time to show some backbone in this crisis. Putin has been given carte blanche so far. The more they threaten nuclear war, the more obvious it is that Russia is desperate.

  717. Imminent means they're about to roll across the border. That is not the case. 25,000 more troops to go before they attack. That's according to intel of their master plan.

  736. The U.S. really had a wrench thrown in the works with that Baltimore vaccine plant. We were on track to globally distribute millions more doses than we were able to because of that cross contamination problem.

  739. Gee, I wonder who leaked it, Russia... If your neighbor, who has already broken into your house and stolen things, was staring at you through your fence with a gun in his hand, would you not at the very least call the police?

  753. Ukrainian techology is like Taiwan technology in that it's the people that make the industry. Russia will have nothing left of any territory they take because they're killling everyone.

  759. Putin will ride bear next. 🐻 Russian intel is speaking of deescalation.

  760. Trump already pulled us out of the other treaty because they violated that one. I doubt they've been adhering to this one either. It's only one part of our arsenals, so it's not much help either way.

  761. 100 years ago, Europe would have declared war on russia by now. People honored alliances back then.

  767. Putin wants to play Global Thermonuclear War.

  768. Yes, let's place the blame elsewhere than Putin where it belongs. This lady is obviously afraid. These are the kind of people that would rather keep polluting with coal because they're afraid of atoms.

  769. Now WE have to lease an island! 🤨

  770. Not a smart time to mess with Taiwan. The U.S. military is looking for a fight right now. All China cares about is the resources from Ukraine. They could care less about what happens to anyone who isn't Han.

  773. Putin is naive. Half his country knows he's bullshitting, and the other half know they're not getting the whole story. It's going to end up backfiring on him.

  774. It is not the U.S.' job to police the world. Everyone needs to pony up.

  775. Moldova was always part of the plan.

  776. There are going to be some rule changes.
    1
  777. You really need to understand the military to figure this out. Other people are sending artillery. Germany is sending something else.
    1
  778. Putin wants Odesa intact. That is why they're holding off. The attack will be much more methodical. They've really only been probing so far, and of course, taking care of more immediate objectives. They will try to take it before this is all over.

  781. Unfortunately, it's close to impossible for a politician to keep their mouth shut, and NATO is composed of a bunch of politicians.

  783. Germany: do learn how to say "Nu-cle-ar." Thanks. It's not rocket science... well, maybe.
    1
  784. This is historic. Now Ukraine needs land to sea missiles to defend Odessa because that's a consolation prize.
    1
  785. Putin wants Gas Money. Ukraine doesn't need to antagonize Russia with NATO, it needs to build up it's military and find allies near their country.
    1
  786. Blinken said it best, Russia is causing the very things it's complaining about. This is what dictators always do when they're up to no good. All if these countries are calling our bluff, and we have to prove our willingness to fight. U.S. has been drawing down the military, and now it's caught with it's pants down, which is just what our rivals wanted.
    1
  787. Russia is about to annex the Donbas, and no-one is going to lift a finger, because Putin threatened nuclear war. At that point, we should make the rest of Ukraine a NATO member, because their border will no longer be in conflict. That is, unless the West is full of cowards. We'll see what happens today after Russia votes on their independence.
    1
  788. Are we going to let Russia annex Donbas and keep Crimea because Putin threatened nuclear war?

  789. No

  793. U.S. cheaper than Russia? Are you kidding? Maybe cheaper than Luxemburg maybe...

  794. Putin is either a war criminal or a mass murderer. There are no other choices. The international community must act if the EU and NATO won't do what's necessary to remove him.

  795. Orban is a Russan sympathizer. Erdogan wants to get more stuff.

  796. The hold up now is also in Lviv and enroute across Ukraine. Arms are continuously being shipped from the U.S.

  798. There should be no Russian tank designs left in Europe at this point. Then, when the russians are on the back foot will be the time to send Leopards.
    1
  799. The Russians are just as stuck as the Ukrainians because they have a set objective. This is an opportunity to pound them hard and force them to use up more resources.

  809. Methanol is way better than Ethanol in as far as it can be produced from chaf and switchgrass instead of driving up the price of corn like ethanol does. Big farm investors are the ones pushing ethanol, not science. The big remaining problem with ICEs is that the nitrogen that causes NOx pollution is in the air itself. They can use oxygen concentrators to remove it.

  810. Putin sounds ridiculous.

  811. At least intellingence reports are being released, instead of us being the last ones to find out. Just second to last... 😜

  813. It's time to destroy that 60km column. There is no point in showing mercy to a merciless army. The Russian people will gain no more truth. It's time to end this. Down with Putin!

  819. Why do people keep ignoring the rules for joining NATO? Do you want us to join a general war against Russia? That will likely involve China, Iran, and North Korea on their side as well. It may be inevitable, but I doubt those calling for accelerating Ky^iv's membership are prepared for an all out war involving their own citizens.

  830. Um, no

  831. If Russia invades in mid February, they will no longer have the troops they need by the end of February. In Afghanistan the US was trying to protect civilians. They won't have to worry about that in Europe because Europeans already know how a war is fought.
    1
  832. Well, it's Wednesday, and so far so good. Are we going to let Russia annex Donbas and keep Crimea because Putin threatened nuclear war? One of these days it's going to happen if we keep letting these authoritarians get away with murder.
    1
  833. Germany's politics are a mess right now. Their medical assistance is nothing to sniff at though. It's far more important and substantial than Ukraine is giving them credit for.

  834. If it doesn't escalate, it will probably last a lot longer than we are prepared for.

  835. ​ @hikashia.halfiah3582  Then China moves in and takes the land.

  838. Withdrawal is the favorite ruse of armies throughout history, and it usually works.

  839. Preplaced Spetsnaz are coming across the border from occupied Moldova to spot for missile attacks.
    1
  840. Our experts are fooling themselves if they believe these two countries haven't been planning at this for a long long time. It's very much Orwellian alright. It's not to forget those few times in history when China or Russia was aligned with us rather than each other, right out of 1984. In another misconception, Putin can easily pull his troops back after war games. That's how he has described all of this to the Russian people from the very beginning. Once again, our Western leaders are myopic and ethnocentric.

  856. There is that Eastern European alliance of about 9 nations near Russia. Of course the U.S. is currently involved, but that doesn't mean the group couldn't form on its own.

  868.  @syedrizvi5387  What 7 countries? And how does that relieve any responsibility from Russia?
    1
  869. Putin's lost his mind. They want Odessa for a port. They'll probably try for a land bridge across the South from Moldova to Crimea, unless they just take over the entire east, or the whole country.

  870. Smoke and mirrors 😜 Constantin knows those little secrets to the Kremlin. The old Post Card trick! If Prigozhin is smart, he's headed somewhere like Africa where he can live like a king and not be found.

  876. It should be obvious to everyone that this trip of Xi's to San Francisco was just part of a feint to get our guard down once again. Communism is simply not a viable economic model. Without positive personal motivations, people don't have enough reason to work hard to achieve their goals, or anyone else's for that matter. The real question should be, who in the West is cozying up to the Chinese, and why?
