    Everyone appreciates that reality would not react well with your senses.

    You have no possibility of understanding how my mind works. Heck, I don’t think anyone could get a fair reading of my mind. It has a mind of its own.

    That's what the Iraqis said, right before they messed with the Abrams and wound up on the short end of a 3300:1 kill ratio. Maybe the newer anti-tank weapons the Russians have developed have a better chance of knocking out more than one Abrams tank, but if they are like the rest of Russia's weapons, they have not advanced much.

    Does the Abrams have an invisible cloaking device ?

    It didn't need one in Iraq. Some Iraqi (Soviet) rounds bounced right off the armor without hardly leaving a scratch.

    So with as many as half the Leopards being destroyed we can surmise the Abrams has a cloaking device whereas the Leopards did not ?

    A Ukrainian drone boat damaged a large Russian warship in the Black Sea, possibly leading it to sink.

    Ukraine-Russia war latest: 'Unidentified floating objects' behind strike on warship, says Kyiv

    Or we could use our brains and surmise that the Abrams has more (or better) armor on it. And, no, there is no evidence that I've seen that half of the Leopards have been destroyed. Do you have a (credible) link for that statement?

    Or we could use our brains and surmise that Abrams, however well Armed, will not be lining up against Iraqis and instead will be assailed with metal from on high and from afar.

    To be honest, I couldn’t care less what Russian propaganda says. I am concerned about American propaganda. I don’t enjoy being lied to, as if I was born yesterday.

    I’m here. You can speak to me. I JUST posted a video of the WWII ammo ship USS Burke being destroyed by a Japanese teenager in what likely remains the largest wartime non-nuclear explosion ever. Takeaway: in any war you’re likely to take some hits. Hell, we nearly lost the war in Grenada.

    The biden crime family has the same credibility that the stolen election did. Same people, same process. Outrage, fundraise, create another outrage, rinse, repeat. You need to consider finding neutral sources of info and extract yourself from the echochamber they have you trapped in, for your own good. Consider AP, Reuters, BBC, WSJ (not editorial section), etc Go gators

    Supply ship.
    Rail to crimea is also down duevto hit on fuel and munitions depots just north of the bridge.

    We may need to train somevdolphins to defeat these small marine drones. Ship defenses just arent setbup for these subsurface drones. Wait until they put these on batteries, even more silent
