Perhaps its your own post to which I replied, which you seem to have forgotten, that provides the necessary context: Sounds an awful lot like you were saying I didn't bother with libraries and books or worked through ideas on my own ...and that I was provided with my conclusions by 'the interwebs'.
Russia's the baddies. They're ALWAYS the baddies. Stick to that, you'll be quite beloved in this thread. Your posts will be showered with love and positive rep, quoted as sage wisdom from on high, and you will taste of levels of love and respect you've never even dreamed of in Too Hot. It'll make your movie thread seem down right hostile.
In addition to being beloved, you would be factually correct for the vast majority of time since Germany surrendered in WWII.
I think it bears repeating that we were all brought up under the assumption that there were kids, very much like us, who were living in bad countries. TRIGGER WARNING: what if we’re the bad country, at least by the same metrics we always used to separate good from bad ? Don’t you think there are other countries that view us as bad ? Is it possible that they have valid reasons ?
Ha no sir. I was commenting on being 100 years old. And the possibility of being mis labeled as a boomer.
Past due https://www.cnn.com/2024/04/24/politics/us-secretly-sent-long-range-missiles-to-ukraine/index.html US secretly sent long-range missiles to Ukraine after months of resistance The US delivered long-range missiles to Ukraine earlier this month that the Biden administration had previously refused to send following a directive from President Joe Biden, the Pentagon said Wednesday. Biden secretly approved the transfer of the long-range ATACMS missiles in February for use inside Ukrainian territory. The ATACMS missiles were then quietly included in the $300 million aid package announced on March 12 and ultimately delivered to Ukraine earlier this month, according to Pentagon spokesman Lt. Col. Garron Garn.[/COLOR]
Better late than never. Aren't some F16's going to be turned over to those Ukrainian pilots that have been trained in them, sometime this summer?
Ukraine desperately needs them. Using our advanced long distance air-to-air missiles, hopefully f16s can slow down Russia’s use of “glide-bombs” which have been successful and hard to stop. Search “glide bomb” and most articles are like below. they are hell for sitting tgts like infrastructure and residential areas which Russia has no problem bombing. “To put into perspective how dangerous the situation is for Ukrainian brigades right now, consider that it took just 125 KABs (glide bombs) a day for several days finally to make the defense of Avdiivka, a former Ukrainian stronghold in eastern Ukraine, untenable for the Ukrainian army’s 110th Mechanized Brigade.” Russia’s Glide-Bombs Are ‘Miracle Weapons.’ And Ukraine Is Still Months Away From Fighting Back With F-16s.
Ukrainian SBU Drone Strikes Demolish Vast Fuel Reserves in Smolensk, Russia (msn.com) Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) unmanned aerial vehicles have launched a night operation targeting oil storage facilities in Smolensk Oblast, Russia, successfully annihilating 26,000 cubic meters of fuel according to law enforcement sources reported by the Kyiv Independent on April 24.
I think the Netherlands are first ones publicly scheduled to deliver and that time frame is upon us. most articles mention spring/summer. I said elsewhere it will be interesting to know when the first mission takes place and when it is publicly acknowledged.

" Fake Ukrainian conflict" so according to her all those people getting killed and wounded are crisis actors because it's all a hoax? Where have we heard that kind of bullshit before?
MSN George Will slams House GOP members who voted against Ukraine aid. I suppose that makes him a RINO in their world?
All Trump did was force Johnson and McConnell to squeeze Ukraine. "The Art of the Deal." I'm still not sold, but it's the same people who told us Syria would fold, Trump was starting WW3 with Soleimani assassination, etc etc etc who are telling us Trump put Ukraine in peril. Looking at it from a purely business standpoint, who gives a mother----? Isn't that the point of prosecuting this vis a vis proxy in the first place? That said, Russia's history of backing away from red lines gently is non-existent. Grab some popcorn with butter.
