  1. The German air defense IRIS-T fires missiles that cost ~ 500K. And can track 24 targets at a time. So these will be used to shoot down $10K Iranian drones. So after they run out of missiles, the remaining drones will destroy the launchers and radar and control vehicles.

  2. This is a war zone with lots of action all around. IFF would have been turned on. Most likely this was a new Russian missile. The Pentagon doesn't want to admit this. The next time we do a raid over Yemen it'll be with F/35s not F/18s. But the Houthis may now have more advanced anti-ship missiles as well. The Houthis sent a missile into Tel Aviv, Israel tried to intercept 3 times and missed all 3 times. US warships should stay far away from Yemen.

  3. The 1st prediction was China would collapse in 2010. But then Gordon published an update, 2011, 2012. Overall there were about 6 editions, when he finally gave up around 2018.

  4. We're deeply involved. We're funding them.

  5. What Russia and the whole world has learned from Iraq, Afghan, Libya, and Syria is that might makes right. But US propaganda is so good most have forgotten about 1 million dead Iraqis from the war we started. And are now morally indignant about Russia apply the same principle.

  6. Stand up to a bully? Like the way Iraq stood up to our invasion? Like Syria and Libya. Afghanistan did stand up and won but they are starving now. And yes we paid a price 2 trillion in Afghanistan ~8 trillion for the 4 wars. But we still keep going.

  7. Game changer, significant and on and on. 50 bradleys 40 marders, etc. Russia is planning 1000 tanks and IFVs. Posts on social media by both sides show huge Ukrainian casualties. Part of the reason why Zelensky passed a law allowing the closure of any Ukrainian new website. Ukraine's best weapon is the NSA and its ability to provide military intel to Ukraine.

  8. You totally don't understand that cluster bombs are useless against Russia soldiers in trenches. They only kill civilians later.

  9. The IFF would have worked, but it was a Russian missile.

  10. The drone was spying on Russian troop formations and providing real time intel for the war. The presence of the drone is costing Russian lives. So I'm suprised they didn't used their weapons. Real time intel is extremely important for the Ukrainian army, and the Russian army. Maybe next time instead of spraying fuel , they will throw a big net over the drone. The drone is a combatant in the war, fair game. The question is will the US escalate?

  11. The wealthier ones left at the beginning of the war. Remember why it started, it started because Ukraine wanted the right to join NATO. The death and destruction is worth the sacrifice. But of course Ukrainians didn't make that decisions, the US did, folks like Petraeus. In fact we're urging them to keep on fighting.

  12. Ukraine claims it intercepted all 18 missiles. Let's say the truth is it intercepted none of them, and the Patriot system was mostly destroyed. The Patriot battery is a 1 billion dollar system. Even the US can't afford to send 100 of these to Ukraine. Also the system is extremely complex to operate. Likely the high tech operations were US military personell who volunteered for this. How many of them were killed, wounded? The Patriot system was never designed to intercept hypersonic missiles. Once the Patriot's radar system is destroyed, the slower cruise missiles will get through as well. A Patriot system has 1 control station, 1 advanced radar, and up to 8 launchers with 4 missiles each. If the Russians took out the radar and command/control station first, they can leisurely pick off the 8 missile launchers with sub-sonic cruise missiles. This is called a saturation attack. The patriot is good but every system can be overwhelmed in a saturation attack.

  13. Unfortunately the American people may not have a choice. Israel will attack Hezbolla. The constant if low level of rockets into N. Israel is something that is not sustainable (for Israel) over the long term. There will be some excuse, let's hope an Israel rocket doesn't land in the Golan heights again. But there will be an excuse and Israel will attack and the US will be fighting along side. The question is will US land attack missiles from ships and US warplanes lead the way, or will it start with air defense missiles. And as US air defense missiles run out, our ships will withdraw and launch land attack missiles.

  14. The US provoked the war. And then it provoked China by reversing it's 1 china policy as well as 100's of sanctions against Chinese companies. The Col is right in that it's just a matter of time before China openly supports Russia with munitions, instead of just under the table smuggled components. China's manufacturing capacity is larger than all the NATO countries combined. And Europe is on the edge of deindustrialization with long term high energy costs. China is visiting multiple European countries to split Europe away from the US and it will fail. That will set the stage for open support of Russia.

  15. Multiple Indian Youtube channels are reporting that Ukraine's forces in Kursk are starting to surrender en mass after suffering heavy casualties. They are saying many in Ukraine are demanding the surrender of Sirsky the military commander of Ukraine.

  16. CNN actually gave him air time. And did CNN ask questions about issues? No the questions are "biden has a bust of Kennedy how do you feel", or Is biden too old? But if this was a question to Biden it'd be a soft ball. But this interview was a "test". If RFK does well in the interview the rest of the main stream media and CNN will censor/ignore him. If RFK makes a slip they might give him another interview and ask more quesitons like do you think Biden is mentally challenged? Or why does XXX Kennedy your relative work in the BIden admin? And what if by accident they allow RFK to turn the discussion into a policy topic, they'll cut him off.

  17. Not only is Prighozhin in Belarus, but they are building a camp for 8,000 fighters. Wagner is not dead.

  18. Hillary,one of the most unpopular political figures, 2nd only to Joe Biden, getting lots of air time. Folks are desparate.

  19. Ukraine's govt is a puppet of the US/CIA, just like the Afghan govt that we abandoned a few months ago. Zelensky has bags with millions of dollars and a private jet ready, just like the ex-president of Afghanistan. I really like the video of the school teachers earning a few extra bucks running around with plywood cutouts of AK47's pretending to get military training in front of Western media.

  20. This action by the Chinese navy is to send a message to both Taiwan and Washington. If the US tells the Taiwan govt to declare independence and the Taiwan govt does that, China will blockade the island, whether the US navy is there or not. The importance of Taiwan's semiconductor industry to the US and the rest of the world is what makes Taiwan different from Ukraine. A proxy war in Ukraine can destroy Ukraine but it doesn't hurt the US economy, much. A blockade of Taiwan means huge damage to the global economy including the US.

  21. (267) She's exposing the TRUTH in Ukraine and they don't like it | Redacted Conversation with Eva Bartlett - YouTube This report from Mariupol said there were many instances of Azov troops killing Ukrainian civilians. Perhaps because since the Russians didn't kill them they must have collaborated with the Russians. That seems to be happening here. First bombed by the russians and then killed by the Ukrainians.

  22. The neocons wanted to bash China. The US govt knew it wasn't a spy balloon. The US tracked the balloon from its launch in China. The US did nothing until it was spotted over Montana. And then Biden did nothing until the NEOCONs in congress demanded he shoot it down. The pressure was so high Biden then shot down 3 other non-spy balloons.

  23.  ashkan ghaasssemi  We really care about Iraqi muslims. That's why we invaded Iraq to give them freedom and democracy. It's kink of unfortunate 1 million of them died and a few 10's of millions became refugees. Really, we just wanted to give them freedom and democracy.

  24. Russia's defense spending can't match the West's even the part that supplies Ukraine with weapons. A couple of months ago the US was ready to fund an insurgency if Kiev fell. An insurgency that would result in a 10yr or longer war to bleed Russia dry, while the sanctions drove Russia to economic collapse like 1990 USSR. What's changed?

  25. Didn't work that well for Iraq when we invaded them. But it did work 5 years later in an insurgent war, that created >100,000 wounded US soldiers.

  26. The propagand war is all important. Ukraine has used its own people as human shields (Amnesty Int report) solely for the purpose of accusing the RUssians of war crimes. And a CBS report that was redacted, said only 30% of donated weapons reach soldiers on the front lines. And 10% for the big guy.

  27. And the Dutch navy ship that was "harrased" by CHinese war planes, sailing near China/N. Korea? The Dutch move 7000 miles on the other side of the world was purely defensive. But the trade between N. Korea and Russia has benefitted N. Korea tremendously. Russia has lots of oil/gas/ energy as well as lots of both food (grains) and fertilizer. And N. Korea likely has shipped lots of munitions to Russia. Now western press oftens says the N. Korean ammo are duds, but Russia keep comming back for more. Undoubtedly N. Korea is also ramping up production of washing machines and toaster ovens and order chips from China for these products that will be shipped to Russia. The N Korean people are now much better off than before the Ukraine war.

  28. Natural selection does work. This type of person won't change their mind even after a family member goes to the hospital.

  29. What does the US want from Ukraine? To provoke Russia into invading. Once that happens, US will impose sanctions to cut Russia off from Europe. Unkraine will then be left to fend of itself, like the Afghan govt we abandoned.

  30. The generals know that what wins wars is logistics. The US is not willing to ruin its economy to let Ukraine win. Ukraine uses 6000 155mm shells per day. THe US produces 100,000 shells per YEAR. One year's production lasts 2 weeks. The NASAMs can shoot down the Iranian drones but at $1.2M/missile, and $20K per drone, we lose every time we shoot down a drone. Propagada talks about courage and fighting for your home land. Tell that to the Iraqi army or better yet tell that to American Indians 130 years ago. The generals understand logistics. Folks listend to US propaganda.

  31. Most likely both objects were US or Canadian, with permission from the FAA to fly where they were shot down. Shoot first ask questions later. Next an airliner runs into trouble has to slow down and then shot down.

  32.  @thetheo859  That's why 800 Billion doesn't cut it.

  33.  @mr.schwartz2090  That's why China controls Tibet and all that land at 20,000+ ft with no people but huge amounts of ice that feeds so many major rivers in Asia.

  34. What would cure this? Jail time for the CEO. But in the US the "ruling class" is always protected. In China, in the adulterated baby formula scandal, the CEO was executed.

  35. We've sent huge numbers of missiles to Ukraine as Lindsay Graham says to kill Russians. What if Russia decides to return the favor by supplying Hezbolla with advanced weapons? What if Turkey also gets involved?

  36. There are limits to US millitary power. A no fly zone means US warplanes over Ukraine. They would be shot down once the crossed the border. Russia is not kidding. Russia is not Iraq.

  37. It take a lot of training but what Russia may be worried about is the systems could be remotely operated by Americans in Germany, while the radars and missiles are in Ukraine. Will Russia send missiles to Germany to take out command and control of the Patriot battery there? But also it's far from clear that 1 battery of Patriots (24 missiles in launchers) and spare missiles, will make any difference to the 3000 drones and 2000 missiles Russia stockingpiling for their next offensive.

  38. While US media trots out folks like this to say maybe Russia blew up the Nord Stream pipeline. 10's of 1000's in Germany are marching in protest. The German people are in shock that we would do this to them. They go to Qatar and the US to get gas to replace Russian gas and no one will do anything without a 20yr long term contract. A 20yr contract would cripple Germany for 20 years. Germany is looking at 100's of 1000's losing good paying jobs as several of their power hungry industries collapse.

  42. You nailed why he was fired. Of all the issues jan 6, election fraud, border, every issue Tucker talked about was main stream fox narrative, except for Ukraine.

  43. Western media is not showing the Hezbolla rocket hitting outside of Jerusalem then much of Jerusalem going black. If this is real it says Hezbolla is now getting through the Iron dome defenses and hitting high value targets. The Houthis are also getting through the Iron dome. As time goes on both groups will get higher tech weapons. And as time goes on Israel and even the US will run out of Iron dome interceptors. At that point a flood of precision guided rockets will exact a huge toll on high value targets in Israel. Israel will have to start a ground invasion before that happens. Time is not on Israel's side.

  44. An you don't know if the video is 1 day old or 5 months old. This is not news this is propaganda. Ukraine is winning. Just need more weapons. Meanwhile the Ukrainians who are telling Zelensky it's not worth more death and destruction are arrested can accused of corruption.

  45. Dictatorships shouldn't get to change borders. Only the US gets to invade other countries, like in Afghanistan, Iraq, Iibya, and Syria. Republicans mostly are all on board the neocon train as are most democrats like Malinowsky championing the forever war. In fact virtually all US media are on board with tne neocons on this issue. But Fox allows Tucker Carlson to tell his propaganda that runs counter to (most other Fox and the rest of main stream media's push). In Australia Skynews Aus is also taking a more balanced view.

  46. Some say Ukraine should give up the donbass to end the fighting. But Europe is still buying Russian gas. And the sanctoins haven't worked. Russian energy sales to Europe have to be cut before any talk of peace. The economic war to repeat the 1990 collapse of the USSR can't possibly succeed until all Russian energy exports are cut. That's why 10 EU foreign ministers and japan/australia went ot India. The death and destruction in Ukraine is a price the US is willing to pay, to drive Russia to economic collapse.

  47. Ukraine needs US/NATO to declare war on RUssia NOW. If the US declares war, joining NATO doesn't matter. Listening to US propaganda and believing it for 500 days has hidden the truth. If US/NATO does NOT declare war on Russia, Ukraine will NOT, repeat NOT survive this military conflict.

  48. Biden was deposed by a group of unnamed US oligarchs, billionair donors, unelected overlords, what ever. And the same overlords annoined Kamala. Super war monger Nikki Haley's pac almost immediately swung in to suppport Kamala. Susan Rice is part of the neocon crowd that wasted untold trillions on useless wars.

  49. How many Americans think that our out of control inflation is due the economic sanctions we've place on Russia because of the Ukraine war? The sanctions have directly caused the huge jump in oil and gas prices. The blocking of Grain exports from Russia is causing food prices to jump world wide.

  50.  @ForgingMyWins  No the real economics here is AIPAC are the billionair donors who deposed Biden and annointed Kamala. They call the shots. Ask any experts who've dedicated their lives to this. Read the book by J. Hersheimer U. Chicago on AIPAC.
