@thiefsleef6752 US doesn't fight wars like Russia, since the US ends conventional conflicts quickly with overwhelming coordination between Air and Land forces, something Russia is not able to do because Russia treats expeditionary air forces as supporting fires.

@markb8468 One of the first priorities Putin undertook was assessing the actual nuclear forces status, as well as the warheads and delivery vehicles, support systems, bases, and personnel. Whatever it was that he learned, he launched a nuclear arsenal revival program with the utmost focus, and used multiple intermediaries in Kazakstan, Belorussia, and Ukraine to funnel millions of dollars of donations into Clinton Global Initiative so that Obama and Hillary would bless off on selling Uranium One mining rights to Russia. That’s also a very damning exposé of Russia’s uranium mining capabilities post-collapse. Their submarines, SLBMs, bombers, cruise missiles, and ICBMs were in sh*t state even during the Soviet Times, let alone during the collapse, which has never stopped. A huge mistake people make with recent Russian history is thinking that the collapse happened in 1991. It really picked up momentum in the early 1970s, pushed over the edge in the 1980s, and fell hard after 1991. A lot of the core industrial enterprises owned by the state were abandoned once orders ceased coming in, and those personnel collapsed to the major cities where any sign of economic activity was going on. The US actually bailed Russia, Ukraine, Belorussia, Kazakstan, Georgia, etc. out with Nunn-Lugar, in exchange for gaining control over many of the nuclear warheads, silos, and delivery systems left from the Soviet Times. That series of events is what triggered the rise of Putin to be one of Yeltsin’s Deputy Prime Ministers, teed-up for the 2nd Chechen War in 1999. Yeltsin resigned on Dec 31, 1999, announcing his retirement and Putin’s new position as President, without any election.

Their production always has made me suspicious that there is corporate media backing them. They're kids who climbed almost to the top of the first hill, who haven't even seen the mountain, but they think they know the mountain.

 @saytax There's a big difference in correctly stating that there are major losses on both sides versus... "Ukraine is losing. The war is lost. There is no hope. Russia is winning."

@saytax Russia started with full strategic encirclement of Ukraine, initially took some key terrain, especially in Kharkiv, which Ukraine then took back. The map looks terrible for Russia's "SMO", which was supposed to be a lightning-quick operation and "denazification" of Ukraine. Russia has lost more soldiers and equipment in this SMO than their entire time in Afghanistan, by orders of magnitude. It has also been horrible for Ukraine, costing the lives of tens of thousands and forcing a humanitarian crisis.

@stayanonymous6430 Tucker Carlson doesn't need anybody's money. He grew up with 2 mother's from large dynasties, as well as a connected father in the income bracket of the top 1%. His reporting on Ukraine has been uninformed though. He does not do well when it comes to foreign affairs, which is odd, given his privileged upbringing. Same with Anderson Cooper. They have so much in common when you study their family backgrounds, university experience, and careers. Anderson interned with the CIA for 2 years while at Yale (CIA leadership comes from Yale typically), then supposedly wasn't hireable after graduating. He's a freaking Vanderbilt. Tucker applied for work with the CIA hoping to get into Operations, but was denied due to not being able to pass urinalysis for cocaine within the prior 18 months. There is so much more to these people and their family backgrounds, and it doesn't fit into neat little pigeon holes.

@chrissmith7669 The zero-out features are for the threat library, COMSEC, freqs, AIFF, EW automated algorithms, weapons employment, MADL codes, etc., not for the DFLCS, FADEC, or basic air-vehicle management systems.

Ranger Regiment has not adopted this albatross in either of the systems. Instead, they have adopted URGI uppers through the SOMPD Block upgrade program and a mix of product-improved M249s/Mk.46 LMGs and KAC Stoner LAMGs. SF has shown little to no interest in the XM7 as well outside of a DM role, which they already have at least 3 different systems to cover on with 7.62 NATO and 6.5Creedmoor. There is interest in the XM157 Fire Control Electro-Optical integrated LRF/Scope/IR Laser/Illuminator system to be used on existing carbines and sniper systems. Keep in mind that the XM7 weighs 14lbs configured, which is a show-stopper for basic Infantry use, let alone anyone else.

@ajm21582 Any time Krystal opens her mouth about foreign affairs, military, or aerospace, she should just close it. I haven't seen anything from Breaking Points in at least 2 years now. They're clueless kids trying to be middle ground. Feels like rebranded legacy media in a way to me.

@Ozark-nq9uu Most people don't know that Belgium and the Netherlands manufactured hundreds of F-16As and Bs under license through the MSIP partner nation program in the early 1980s, for 4 European NATO countries (Belgium, Netherlands, Norway, Denmark). Those F-16s were later modernized through the MLU program into F-16AMs and BMs, what we call MLU birds. Ukraine recently received F-16AMs from Denmark. The US hasn't flown the F-16A/B series for about 30 years. We started buying F-16Cs already in 1982, and pushed F-16A/Bs into National Guard and Reserve units as USAF bought Block 25, 30, 40, 42, 50, and 52 later model F-16C/Ds throughout the 1980s-early 2000s. These F-16C/Ds are tasked-out in mostly operational squadrons all over the world and the US, not available for FMS.

The primary mission of A-X was armed escort for Army Airmobile units, not to take out tanks in Europe. It was really a product of US experience in Vietnam, where the Skyraider was great for armed escort/CAS, but didn’t carry the ordnance to bust the new ZSU-23-4 chassis and other emerging mobile SAM platforms. It was obsolete before going into production as its mission profile in Europe was suicidal. This was the first thing A-10 pilots were told about it if they were assigned there. USAF planned to get rid of it before 1990. The money for airframes and pilot training would have been better spent on F-16XL I think, with some light fixed wing CAS platforms like OV-10 funded for SOCOM and expeditionary unit support in COIN.

Journalists have always been bad in general. They know they work for advertising agencies if they're truly being honest with themselves, nothing more.

The Soviets did this same thing with US corporate media through the CIA's Mockingbird back in the late 1940s, and only expanded from there. OSS & CIA were seeded with hundreds of double agents. CIA was tasked with countering the Soviet IOJ in the information warfare game, with Frank Wisner in charge of it. Senior moles in CIA reported this immediately back to Moscow, who naturally tasked them with co-opting Mockingbird.

@jasonm949 US never lost ether war in Iraq. US withdrew “prematurely" from Afghanistan after 20 years, directed by Soviet mole Senator/occupant Joe Biden.

Russia doesn't have a lot of mid-level NCOs because they have been reducing the time of service requirements for conscripts since the end of the Czarist Times. They kept cutting the number of years required throughout the Soviet Times, and Putin actually continued that trend to the extent that conscripts get precious little training.

Tim Pool is young and still barely learning about the world. What Russia is doing to popular online channels is the same thing they did to ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS, Time, and CNN. They don't have much else besides information warfare and political subterfuge to use against the US. They have been instrumental in electing Democrats through CPUSA, which rebranded into Democratic Socialists of America, as well as Council for a Livable World. Now they're using media to make people think that America-first Conservatives are pro-Russian, to cause more confusion and chaos to destabilize the US with active measures, because they can't take the heat of old US weapons being sent to Ukraine.

@Kastrenzo74 There are at least 3 former US Presidents and 1 current US President who have been receiving millions of dollars from Russia and China for decades. The corporate media and Google censors seem to work overtime to hide that fact.

US has it all, from autonomous unmanned space shuttles, high altitude/high endurance reconnaissance jets, mid altitude UAS with weapons, low altitude UAS for ISR, surface UAS for ship attacks, and sub surface Unmanned weaponized drones like smart torpedoes.

@kamikazeviking3053 The Obama/Biden WH was actively helping Russia and did nothing to help Ukraine when Russia invaded in 2014. In fact, they put VP Biden's son on the board of a pro-Russia energy company run by a Russian puppet named Zlochevsky, who later fled Ukraine to live in Monaco (Burisma). Then the VP threatened the new Ukrainian President Poroshenko to fire his hand-selected chief prosecutor, who had the files on how Burisma was being used to launder money for Putin. Russia tried to assassinate the chief prosecutor twice (Viktor Shokin), who fled into hiding after barely surviving the mercury poisoning. Obama demanded that UK President David Cameron shut down the UK's investigation into Zlochevsky, and release $15m of his funds in Sep 2014. Millions of dollars flowed into Hunter and James Biden family shell companies all that time, while Hunter later complained to his dad that he didn't even have enough money to pay alimony or his bills. He was being paid $86,666.66 / month on the board of Burisma.

@givepeaceachance940 The various US Intelligence agencies have unprecedented technical capabilities and gargantuan budgets, but are managed by some of the most corrupt and incompetent pieces of trash in our history through extremely inefficient bureaucracies and institutional treason. Many of them were co-opted by organized crime and the Soviets in the early last century and have never been purged. FBI was likely started by, but definitely co-opted by organized crime once Hoover was put at the helm in 1924. OSS was populated with Soviet moles and Mafia assassins, led by Wall St. Bankers and Lawyers, then became the CIA in 1947 with even more Soviet moles as false defectors and turned Nazi double agents in the wilderness of mirrors. Kennedy bros wanted to clean house in these tainted agencies, and formed the DIA as a result to replace the CIA, but were never able to complete that task after both were assassinated.

@terryt2728 It is verifiably cheaper for the US to send old weapons rather than de-mil them. As far as weapons transfers go, it's economically-advantageous for DoD to not have to deal with all of the 30yr-old munitions we don't even use anymore. I live right near one of the depots that disposes of explosives from warheads. Since 2022, we haven't heard a detonation until just last week. It's extremely expensive to ship pallets of those weapons to processing centers, remove the rocket motors, warheads, guidance, and control systems, then ship those subcomponents to the various depots for disposal or storage. It's much easier to load the pallets onto a C-17A and fly to Europe. Done and dusted, American taxpayers save crazy money and the money it would have taken contractors to do all that de-mil work can be spent on newer weapons for the US.

Azerbaijan has been involved in conflict with Armenia, to include a lot of drone and SAM system employment.

@mitchyoung93 US has been making Patriots since the 1980s. Not only the propellant, but the warhead, guidance, structures, fins, and other components must be inspected and maintained up until they reach certain expiration dates. The de-milling process is extremely expensive, where degraded explosive material and propellant are removed and shipped to a place right near me to be destroyed with other explosives. Those regular detonations ceased in 2022. They used to rock our windows and garage doors regularly. We're actually saving money by loading them onto C-17s and flying them to Europe. So much easier that way. The media lists the dollar values for these munitions as if the US is buying them, then sending them, which is false and extremely misleading.

When you just apply critical thinking and analyze every monthly proclamation from Douglas MacGregor, you could see it over a year ago that something was way off the rails. I would love to debate him on this subject. Ask him how he would respond if he was a Battalion commander and his Companies were tasked with seizing an objective that they had numerical superiority over, starting with total encirclement. Then they atrited all their forces and kept asking for replacements without having seized key terrain, with no end in sight. He would have fired them all in the first 2 weeks, probably sooner. But with Ukraine, he repeatedly says, "It's over. Ukraine has lost. Russia is benevolently winning."

@saytax Do you recognize that the Russian General Military Staff all reported to Putin that his SMO would be a quick operation, where they started from encirclement of Ukraine, and they would seize Kharkiv, Kiev, Mariupol, and Odessa with a swift victory? Or do you deny that, and believe Putin planned to have a long, drawn-out full-scale war where hundreds of thousands of Russian soldiers would be killed and permanently maimed, thousands of vehicles destroyed, the Black Sea Fleet attrited, and hundreds of manned combat aircraft destroyed?
