Looking forward to the updated red X on black fleet ship poster. Couple new ones this week.
They might eventually elect a speaker but they will continue acting like babies.

I remain a master strategist.”

Well done Germany!
More good news
At least the Democrats are starting to fight fire with fire e.g. they are talking about linking a large block of Ukraine military aid (which could keep them going for over a year and help setup an airforce of Western jets) to funding for Israel. Would force the Republicans to shaft their darlings as well if they want to carry on acting the maggot fellating Putin to "own the libs" etc. instead of doing useful work.
Coming to a Russian trench near you
Will they actually follow through and do it though thats the question. Too often in the past have the Democrats talked the right game only to either not follow through at all or do so with a vastly scaled back version.
They won't burn Israel,
The Jewish lobby is extensive and stupidly rich, considering the US just deployed 2 carrier strike groups, destroyers , special forces units to support Israel they recently deployed 2 full squadrons of A10 warthogs to the region along with moving B1 bombers to the UK ,
There will not be a debate over Israel, unlike Ukraine
Germany went into another gear at the start of this year supplying Ukraine. They are looking to deliver that Patriot system in time to defend against the oncoming winter attack on energy infrastructure. They have also started delivering Gepard ammo produced in Germany. Lithuania due to deliver 2 NASAMS launchers this month also.
The UK supplied a FrankenSAM that's been seen in a few videos shooting down drones and are expected to deliver their Terrahawk Paladin system soon.
Ukraine should have a lot more AA defense this year, but I worry Russia have large stockpiles of drones and missiles built up and will eventually find a hole in their AA defence (Odessa seems like a weak spot).
I suppose so. I do hope the Democrats are tough with them though and force a large amount of Ukraine aid through this time that will last until well after the Presidential election there.
I kind of thought patience with Israel was wearing a bit thinner in the US than previously (before this Hamas atrocity anyway).
Turning to black humour (without starting some kind of rights and wrongs of the ME debate here [don't want that -honest!]) if they are doing, dare I say it, a Russia style demolition on Gaza from a distance with their jets and artillery etc. perhaps the US can re-supply them with fairly crappy bombs (to save money/resources) rather than the expensive ones that can fly up a bugs backside...
I believe they bought over 20,000 JDAMs and 15,000 kits to convert other bombs to jdams , but they have supposedly dropped over 6000 of them this week alone
B-1's are part of the Bomber Task Force rotation, they come twice a year to Fairford....could be B1's,B-52's or B-2's... they weren't moved because of Israel, it just coincided.
What may happen though is they stay a bit longer than planned and fly various show of force missions.
Master strategist of such fame as the “Three Day war on Europes second largest country” and further hits such as “Bakhmut by Xmas” and “Honey why is my chef driving tanks to my palace” speaks up

There was only one real winner last Saturday when war broke out in Israel — Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Putin’s enabling of his “Arsenals of Evil” ally, Iran, resulted in the opening of a new front in Gaza in his war against the West.
Mitt Romney got it right in 2012 when he told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer that “Russia [is] without question, our number one geopolitical foe. … They fight every cause for the world’s worst actors.”

Hilarious😂
Another Su-25 reported to be shot down by Ukraine today:
Meanwhile on russian state TV!
Warped beyond repair.
Jim Jordan is getting the nod to be the new US speaker of the house this could cause more problems for Ukraines fundings and supplies
Interesting if this turns out to be soon. US said previously no sooner than autumn. I've said before on the thread that I think these things could really be the dark horse of this conflict. There's lots of them. They're stupidly accurate up to 150km. And they're considerably cheaper to produce than even the regular himars rocket. Although I thought they'd be integrated with himars/M270 launchers it seems that might not be the case? Hopefully we'll see what form they take soon.
What sort of explosive output do these have? Could be a game changer for targeting Russian logistics 100km behind lines with relative safety.
He's not speaker yet. He's the nominee and various reporting shows him well short of the votes - only needs 4 GOP to vote against him for his nomination to fail.
Depends on the size of the bomb used JDAMs can be anything up to 2000lb bombs , but these small diameter bombs are only 250lb still deadly but designed for precision rather than outright destruction ,
They received something similar last year at some point they went on to hit meltipol and Mariupol
Hopefully they get the same treatment as past couple days
Thought you told me I was wrong yesterday’?
What’s happening with the counter offensive?
Gone very quiet.
Hundreds of Russian vehicles burning on the front says Russia is getting smashed
Quite 🤣🤣🤣🤣
How is he " getting the nod"?
He won the nomination but 55 republicans said they would not vote to confirm and went off for the weekend.
How can he win if only 4 are needed to prevent it?
And the whole story
Well at least she’s self aware at the end.
I hope she enjoys living out the rest of her long life in her beloved banjaxed homeland where her content will never be monitised. Good job there buddy, an own-goal for the textbooks.
