    Why not? MAGA eats the lies up. The American public will tolerate public lying.

    He got to lie his ass off about USAID and nobody cared... .....

    "Hey Fat Don, this public lying thing sure is fun!!"

    Of course he said that. Now he can cut service and tell that Polish little man to bugger off.

    You're not gonna get a DDOS attack from one country. You'd just shut down IP addresses from there. But the enablers of America's demise won't care.

    He’s a lying POS. It was pretty obvious when he said a “country” that he was going to come out and claim it was Ukraine. Anonymous already claimed responsibility- he’s obviously made himself a target for them based on his dipshittery.

    Let this sink in. The only way Kelly is a “traitor” for visiting Ukraine and illustrating their plight is if you’re taking Russia’s side. A Russian supporter is literally rummaging through our government systems and data. Make it make sense.


    I did like Kelly’s response though.

    Because MAGA is smart and not brainwashed

    Reagan and Thatcher wanted Russia and America to be friends.

    Russia has the most nukes and the fastest missiles. Should we bankrupt our country to catch up? Why not get along so we can both spend less on defense?

    Get along with Russia or push them to form an even stronger alliance with our #1 enemy, China?

    Why should Europe sanction Russian energy, forcing it to de-industrialize? China is now getting cheap Russian food and energy which has been a lifeline for Xi and the CCP

    Russophobes should wise up but they're too busy trying to turn the US into the USSR while defaming those with better geostrategic sense

    Russia and Zelensky had a deal in May 2022. Ukraine could have kept the Donbas but had to give some autonomy to the Russian-speakers. The Biden administration and Boris Johnson wanted war. After that the longer the war went on the more likely the Donbas would become Russian territory. The war was always going to be settled on Russia's terms. Trump and Rubio aren't going to change that. Putin knows Trump will be gone in 4 years and he knows the US can't be expected to honor any agreement.

    MAGA is honorable and patriotic. Democrats, RINO's and the Deep State are not.

    It wasn't Trump who gave a Russian company 20% of America's uranium, that was Hillary. The Russian's rewarded the Clinton's with $145M deposited into the Clinton Foundation. Bill Clinton got to go to Moscow and give a speech for $500k.

    Hillary had a Russia problem heading into 2016 so she and the DNC paid for the phony Steele dossier to cover up the real Russian collision.

    Clinton pollster and advisor Mark Penn found that $6500 of Russian bought Facebook ads could, in his opinion, be considered electioneering in favor of Trump. So you can cling to that.

    can you explain the significance of this to me?
    is this just to get US based units experience in that area? What changed to decide that it was needed?

    First I’m hearing of it. I’ll give it a look. It’s obviously about deterring China one way or another. I can tell you they have real concerns about our stealth technology, to the degree that they were the primary engine behind the information campaign in this country to discourage us from developing the F35, you know, because we “don’t need it” and “it doesn’t work anyway.” And China’s only real plan right now in the event of war is to try finding and destroying them on the ground. Russia is even more hapless when it comes to locking horns with our advanced fighters. But circling back to your question, no idea at the moment.

    guessing you haven't seen this either or not buying it??

    stabilized infrared sensors looking from above??

    China claims new airship can detect stealth US F-35 1,240 miles away

    Researchers from the Changchun Institute of Optics, Fine Mechanics, and Physics (CIOMP) have reportedly developed a new kind of airship drone that can detect stealth aircraft up to 1,240 miles (2,000 km) away. These drones, which can hover in the stratosphere, are equipped with special infrared sensors that can detect stealth aircraft more effectively than radar.

    If true, this suggests a potential major vulnerability for stealth aircraft like America’s fifth-generation F-35 and F-22, marking a significant leap in China’s ability to counter this technology.

    CIOMP, a significant player in China’s missile and space program, developed the drone after analyzing infrared signatures from aircraft like this in simulated combat scenarios over Taiwan.

    The team, it is reported, was able to identify that the jet’s radar-absorbing coating and exterior cooled to an average of 281 degrees Kelvin (7.85 degrees Celsius or 46 Fahrenheit). The team reported that this effectively masked it from traditional detection methods.

    more on that hike thru the gas main and how it was busted..100 special forces soldiers..wow

    orders to take no prisoners..this is who the USA is supporting in the negotiations. dt probably approves of the take no prisoners orders

    Ukrainian ambush on Russians who sneaked through the Soyuz gas pipeline

    The plan lacked a psychological blow like the one they already gave a year and a half ago in Avdiivka: an infiltration using pipelines to emerge beyond enemy lines and cause chaos and confusion among Ukrainian defenders. In this case, the Russians used the Soyuz oil pipeline that connected Russia and Eastern Europe through Ukraine, which has not been operational since Zelensky did not renew the contract.

    About 100 Russian special forces soldiers advanced for several hours about 15 kilometers inside the 1.4-meter diameter pipeline to the outskirts of the city of Sudzha, still under Ukrainian control. There, Ukrainian 82nd Airborne Brigade soldiers were waiting for them with artillery and drones. Was it due to the information gathered in the Russian unit's Telegram or an internal tip-off? That detail has not been disclosed.

    Russian blogger Yuri Podolyaka speaks of dozens of dead and wounded in that initial confrontation. The remaining Russian soldiers, who managed to evade the bombs, tried to return to the pipeline for the journey back but died of asphyxiation since they had only loaded oxygen for the journey there and did not have a plan B. In total, it is believed that Russia lost 80 out of the 100 members of the command.

    That failed operation did not prevent the Russians from advancing in other points of the Kursk front and further shrinking the salient controlled by Ukraine. According to publications like the Institute for the Study of War, these Russian offensives coincide with the cut-off of American Intelligence aid to Ukraine, leaving them blind. As reported by the Financial Times, the Russian high command has ordered Russian forces not to take prisoners of war in Kursk but to execute them on the spot. In fact, there are already numerous videos, recorded by Russian soldiers themselves, showing this type of war crimes.

    Ukraine cyberattacking Twitter servers would be one of the least provocative things they have done since the start of the war. The beat goes on with the level of naivety.

    Speaking of naive. :rolleyes:

    Dark Storm already claimed responsibility and posted receipts. It makes no sense for Ukraine to limit one of its communication methods and then do so without masking their IP addresses.
