Russia - threadbanned users in OP

He would like likely turn off the taps to supplies and cash, others would follow suit being there isn't a infinite supply of weapons and vehicles in Europe, which would bend Zelensky over a barrel ,

While trump blames fraud and corruption and Zelensky for the war

Let's hope so ,

He's still a dangerous individual with no love for Ukraine

Despite the recent civil court verdict a huge number of republicans still see him as some kind of Messiah,

Others are afraid to speak against him because it could be a career ender

The Ukrainians already received long range weapons in the form of JDAM-ERs, which actually have a potentially greater range than the 'published' spec for the GLSDBs ukraine hasn't received.

Release a JDAM-ER at 15km in altitude and it's range would be about 180km. If the Mig-29 releasing it first accelerates to mach 1+ at 15km alt, and pulls up before releasing, described as tossing, and it's probably got a range of 200km or more.

It might be just psy-ops but Ukrainian officials about three weeks ago said they had another surprise prepared for the Orc navy and that they were biding their time for the most opportune time to reveal it. About the same time there was an announcement that Ukraine were developing a mostly underwater drone with a photo of it:

Whether this is real or psy-ops we likely won't know unless one is actually used; or if the surprise mentioned is actually something different, if it sprung.

That drone looks too small to me, to have much range or explosive potential. It might be a scale model.

I know how badly he's fauqed up I said it would happen for years,

But your not grasping reality here , again there in no unlimited Money or weapons to be given to Ukraine indefinitely,and if Europe looks at Russia and sees them no longer a threat,life will go on and back to normality, there's not going to be a huge Nato vs the Warsaw pact arms race this time around,some countries will spend more based off home policies rather than looking at Russia

Your right there is very little chance he will get elected. I would also just add emphasis that he did not actually beat Clinton. He lost by about 2 million votes. The vagaries as you call them are in reality an undemocratic ridiculous electoral college system that the US uses which on that occasion overturned the wishes of those who voted.

The majority of Nato countries or the Eu have not increased their military spending,

Why ???

The Eu and Nato countries will move on and won't see Russia as any threat after what they have seen in Ukraine,

Life will eventually move on this is the EU

From the last time this came up ,

They will fly low level by the seats of their pants towards mountains then then make a steep high G climb, using the terrain to mask their movement at the correct altitude roll into a inverter climb launch the Jdam or Storm shadows, while a rapid decent down the side of the mountain before extending and leaving the area for safer skies ,

There's a few problems involved in that theory

Reports this evening that South Africa have been arming the Russians. Strange one from S.A if true to be aligning themselves with Russia vs the west. Surely it’s not the smartest idea Financially either.

"again there in no unlimited Money or weapons to be given to Ukraine indefinitely,"

I don't think anyone is saying that there is unlimited money or weapons going to Ukraine indefinitely. Why would it require unlimited money and weapons going to Ukraine for them to continue to seriously deplete moskovyte forces that have invaded their country? The moskovytes are also in the position that they do not have unlimited money and weapons and much more so than Ukraine when compared with the economic size of the countrues that have committed to contiuing to support Ukraine for as long as it takes for them to deal with their terrorist neighbours.

A quick google search suggests Ukraine has a total of half a million military personnel and making sure they are well equipped to do as much damage as possible to the moskovyte forces facing them is possibly the best route to safety for Europe with the moskovyte terrorists needing to be controlled and the Ukrainians currently being the only ones taking on the job of making Europe safer from them. Why would European countries turn their back on so many people putting their lives on the line to defend Europe from terrorists?

What's this?

From your own article....

While negotiations over the exact language continue, Austin said the pledge would emerge from a meeting of NATO members at their summit in the Lithuanian capital Vilnius in July. NATO members, he said, are “upgrading our defense plans, putting more forces at higher levels of readiness.”

NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg on Wednesday urged the 30 member countries to commit to spending at least 2% of their gross domestic product, or GDP, on defense by a set date. The comments came after Stoltenberg chaired a meeting of NATO defense ministers, where a first high-level discussion on the issue was held.

Nothing has changed 2% of gdp which the majority do not meet and haven't for years,

That's lovely information, thanks for sharing. Not really relevant though.

I'm wondering if you have actual defence figures for 2022-2023, previously posted articles aren't worth the shite on my shoe. Audited and finalised figures are gold here and until then you're relying on figures shared most likely on a media platform that thrives on traffic. They're sharing shite for flies like you and making money.

On the 7 out of 28 increases, what do the 7 you mention hold as a share of overall NATO membership contributions?
