That's another impact of the conflict, expect to see the Russians lose their status as the second largest exporter of arms in the near future. If you told people two years ago that Iranian drones would be a key pillar of a future Russian campaign, I doubt they would believe you.
That is all funding so not just military and it also includes committed funding, the skeptic might say that's not going to happen, maybe some of it won't but it is promised. Its war, UKR is going to struggle, especially against a foe that sees its people as canon fodder. What we see so far is Russia doing worse, its economy is small and its typical allies are sitting on the fence. The longer this goes on the more pressure is going onto Russia to declare victory and go home.
And yet they still the US operate in Syria
I remember mentioning to a few US relatives that the US coastguard patrols in the middle east and they wouldn't believe me because that's not the US coast.
Didn't the US initially think consider ISIS an ally against the Syrian government?
Anyway the point is no one should depend on the attention span of the US public.
Because of course he is
Not ISIS but the Free Syrian Army was seen as the most moderate I think
Then ISIS swept through Southern Syria and Northern Iraq. Scary times, the speed at which they expanded and acquired territory. Suddenly everyone's attention was focused on stopping them.
This is good news
I'm hoping for a general.
Lol
I think the first is related to the second here: because in America 2023, the American Conservative right has basically sided with Russia's own brand of illiberal politics, finding common ground where once lay acrimony. The GOP want to halt America's support of Ukraine 'cos Russia is a friend now in the fight against Big Woke, and sure nothing the Right like more than a Big Strong Guy in charge.
And these people exist at the bottom of the economic ladder too: this was around the time Trump let Russian officials into the Oval Office without vetting or security clearance, and Trump was holding his "love me" rallies even after winning the election.
Clearly Ukraine was reading about Claus von Stauffenberg, and thought "what if that, only with a missile instead?"
I dont get why these lads are all meeting together in person. They know the AA is sh1t, they know the radar has been blown up, surely they'd have realised they would be a prime target?
I can see where they're coming from. Over here, the coast guard is either part of the emergency services, such as here in Ireland, or a law enforcement agency, such as in Germany (technically, the Küstenwache is a joint organisation of the federal police, federal waterways administration, and other bodies, but that's beside the point). For some reason however, in the US, the Coast Guard is part of the Armed Forces and as such, is designed to integrate seamlessly into the Command & Control Structure of the US Navy. That's also the reason why some of the larger US coast guard cutters are built to carry Harpoon or ESSM missile launchers.
And now Crimea having a cyber attack
Nothing happening in Crimea, please only trust official sources of Russian disinformation.
There is also a chunk of the GOP arguing for increased the amount of support or lambasting the Biden administration for not sending certain materials. While there is an isolationist wing, wouldn't say it's necessarily the dominant one. Certainly a noisy one however. Support for Ukraine has been a steady enough cause by American standards.
The American public are only concerned with god ,taxes , Marxists,and thou shalt not be infringed,
There's no great love or genuine concern for Ukrainians, Syrians, Afghans or anyone in between
Indirect indication of Russian losses
The Nytimes recently posted an article suggesting the combined losses for the war military wise is 500,000, with your article it suggests that that figure is accurate both sides are in the 230,000 + killed
No.
The 10 fatalities might not be from the meeting. It looks like a big building and it doesn't look like the missile obliterated the building.
I'd take the claim with a pinch of salt without any reliable sources. Seems too good to be true. Any sources at all? Forgive me for being sceptical of Twitter accounts and unofical data.
About **** time. Official now
That's excellent news for the Ukrainians. Imagine the Germans will be pushed to send some Taurus missiles at some stage in the future.
I know it looks like it's just a handful and possibly just the cluster variants (perfect for peppering airfields and trenches etc...), but they finally **** agreed to supply them to Ukraine.
Wait and see first
America has a choice to make
pay a company to dismantle them
Or
Pay a company to Referb and give to the Ukranians
I know what would get my vote.
Anybody can make a promise.
especially ruSSians
Russians yes, Americans yes. Anybody.
In fairness it seem like only one source is saying it , we've had previous breaking news stories that didn't materialise in the way it was claimed
