Russia - threadbanned users in OP

But that would have meant the select few giving up their wealth and position.

Himar O Clock

Its crazy how many videos there has been of these TOR systems being attacked by himars or drones and being destroyed

What actually are they designed to defend against because i have never even seen one fire at the oncoming threat, they just get destroyed

Are they just trophy pieces

I think you might have misunderstood the article, 90% of the aid hasn't gone to Ukraine instead it's staying in America and what's happening is US stocks are being replenished, if 500 million aid is promised to Ukraine they received about 90 million in actual aid if even that

She's married to Ukraine's spy chief, anyone who moves in those circles is unlikely to be a naive lamb. In no way justifies any poisoning attempt (am glad to hear she's apparently recovering well), just saying that by moving in those circles you're going to be exposed to risks.

It depends.

If the US sends e.g. Bradleys to Ukraine, the US then spends money to replace those stocks with newer equipment (that would be spent at some point in the future). That money predominantly stays within the US since it's an arms producer (since it domestically produces most of it's own arms/parts, most of the money recirculates back into the economy)

Ukraine receives the Bradleys (which it desperately needs)

Or

The US just sends a dollar value equivalent of Bradleys to Ukraine without replacing them. Which is also fine because at some point the US would just be decommissioning most/all of the 1000's of Bradleys it has sitting in warehouses

It's a mutually beneficial situation for both. Unfortunately GOP loons have hijacked it and have been partially successful in twisting the truth to project that the US is simply dumping suitcases of US taxpayers money in Ukraine.

Probably see elements of the US right push for this now too and the polish if PIS didn’t lose after all they followed Moscows lead along with Hungary and the alt right in America when Russia first started this nonsense about a decade ago. And wasn’t Hungary’s top diplomat in Brussels caught at a gay orgy during lockdown and he himself was a loud critic of the “gays” and had boasted about rewriting constitution to define marriage as heterosexual institution.

And whoever still supports Russia after all they’ve done I doubt this will make any difference. It will probably make …. Love them even more.

GLSDBs delayed until later in 2024 announced last March and rumoured to have already being supplied to Ukraine from outside of the US ,

So they haven't delivered 480,000 shells, hardly breaking news

Interesting the Russian top brass won't release mine locations to generals for security...probably worried on Ukrainian infiltration

I see the Irish Amateur Boxing Assoc ditched their principles the other day, when the prospect of medals was wafted in front of them. Their support for Ukraine is refusing bouts with Russian and Belarusian contestants just vanished, easily bought you'd say. Did I hear them then blame the government for lack of guidance? What guidance do they need to do the right thing? But I suppose ethics and boxing sit uneasily as concepts anyway.
