    Reagen would be most concerned with the american voters disconnect from reality when it comes to djt.

    I'll agree that China is a threat but the biggest threat is internal, Putin knows he can't beat the US from the outside but we can tear each other apart and he never has to lift a finger. djt is his greatest investment ever as he is doing more to hurt the US than putin ever could without Russia being nuked in retailiation strike

    And Russia's tentacles are NOT everywhere? With all due respect, check your own ass for the tentacle going through it to your brain that gives you Kremlin talking points. Russian propaganda is EXTREMELY effective at controlling the thoughts of the simple-minded (no offense), to the point that they will quote Russian propaganda all day long and believe that it is a set of original--and logical--thoughts from their own brain.

    BTW, Germany 1941 =/= Germany 1939. See how easy that was? In only two years, Germany became several times more dangerous than it was before. It had experience, additional manpower for the army, and additional weapons factories for the military, as well as improved weapons designs. France didn't have a chance, and yet it could have likely defeated Germany in 1939.

    Reagan was a fairly intelligent person. I believe he could maintain policies against both China and Russia if he needed to.

    That's the Putin tentacle talking, isn't it? Can you switch it to talk in Russian? Or does the Kremlin control all of the settings?

    That pain in your ass is the Russian tentacle. Maybe you could have it surgically removed.

    Here's your man crush Putin writing off $32 Billion loaned to Cuba in order to support the Castro regime.
    https://www.theatlantic.com/busines...a-writes-off-32-billion-in-cuban-debt/374284/

    And here's your guy trying to make up for sanctions the US imposed for Cuba's treatment of peaceful protesters in 2021.
    Russia Sends Aid To Cuba Regime

    In fact you have to wonder how long Castro et. al. would have been able to remain in power without the generosity and wisdom of Putin.

    But you be you and support the guy largely responsible for the current plight of the Cuban people. I'm sure they'd understand.

    I'm just trying to be helpful. Just make sure they detach the tentacle from your brain before they remove it, not after.

    i think so many of us are so disappointed in our fellow citizens failing to see that they are being manipulated to aid our enemies and refuse to consider the overwhelming amount of evidence that they are being lied to and used to further division to help our enemies

    slowly but surely, Ukraine is taking out russian ability to monitor the skies, awacs, radar stations, sams all being added to the rubbage pile

    Ukraine's military destroys Russian radar system controlling skies 700 km inside Ukraine (msn.com)

    Ukrainian military destroyed a long-range radar system in the Russian Bryansk region that controlled the sky up to 700 km deep into Ukraine, sources say to RBC-Ukraine.

    The Ukrainian defense forces destroyed the upgraded Nebo-U complex, which helped Russians detect Ukrainian weapons and supported bombers attacking Ukrainian border positions.
    .............................
    The destruction of this radar system reduces the Russian army's ability to detect aerial targets along the northern border of Ukraine. Radar blindness will help Ukrainian troops conduct reconnaissance, launch drones, and use army aviation more effectively in this area.

    Sources stated that this is the second Nebo-Uv complex destroyed by the 13th Directorate of Military Counterintelligence of the Security Service of Ukraine. The first one was destroyed in the Belgorod region of the Russian Federation. Also, recently, the Kasta-2E2 radar complex near the temporarily occupied Ukrainian city of Berdyansk was destroyed.

    it is going to be interesting to see what air defences Russia has left if/when the f-16's go into action

    HIMARS strike flattens Russia's $250M "Jastreb-AV" radar system (msn.com)


    Another video has recently emerged online, showcasing the first known destruction of Russia's latest reconnaissance system, the 1K148 "Jastreb-AV." Its loss dealt a significant blow to the Russians, as the system played a crucial role in detecting Ukrainian howitzers, mortars, and artillery systems, including the HIMARS. Reports from the Military service confirm that the HIMARS system took down the 1K148 "Jastreb-AV."


    The Military service has revealed that the video was shared on social media by the coordinator of the unmanned aerial vehicle training program of the "Return Alive" foundation, who goes by "externalPilot". The footage, from May 2023, marks the first recorded instance of the latest Russian radar system, 1K148 "Jastreb-AV", being destroyed. At the time, it represented one of the costliest losses for Russia, with the price tag of such a system estimated at around $250 million.

    While this isn't the first instance of the 1K148 "Jastreb-AV"'s destruction being captured on video, previous footage did not offer the same clarity. The earlier video surfaced at the beginning of 2024.

    Insights from the Military suggest that the HIMARS system was likely employed to eliminate the 1K148 "Jastreb-AV" reconnaissance system. This military hardware aimed to counter the very threats posed by the HIMARS. Situated near the city of Yenakiieve in the Donetsk region, the Russian complex became a target after its location was disclosed, leading to HIMARS MLRS rockets being deployed against it.

    As are *so many of us*, in our chicom puppet comrades.

    Y'all shit your britches about an antiquated impotent rust bucket Rusky boogeyman making hay on the other side of the planet, East of the NATO wall...

    ....we bemoan (to deaf ears) serious concers about chicoms by the thousand, potential middle eastern terrorists from travel banned ( for a reason) countries flooding in unvetted by the 10's of thousands, and drug traffickers, sex traffickers, fentanyl dealers with plenty o' fenty (enough to log 100k kills a year), M13 and other gangbangers by the hundreds of thousand, and God only knows who else by the million (to the tune of >10 mil under Biden)....

    Penetrating our own borders like a n'awlins ho' house in Mardi gras...

    And we continue to talk right past each other.

    We'll see where we are soon enough--come November.

    The US can walk and chew gum at the same time. Letting Russia run unabated through Eastern Europe doesnt make the border safer.
