Don't give Netanyahu any ideas.
He was a senator for 36 years and knows his way around Washington. He is only four votes short of getting that bill passed.
How many Republican's will oppose it. He is a wiley old dog. Trump made stupid statements about the Hamas terrorist attacks on Israel. Biden goes to Israel to show solidarity, he meets Netanyahu who was very friendly with Trump.
He is Starting to cover different bases
He's playing the Elder Statesman role extremely well ,all things considered
Congrats on our 100k post btw. Is there a prize? 🚀
Send a screen shot to Putin to celebrate his 3 day war.
Timing is everything but coincidence will do
In the old days we would have been on our tenth thread , after closing and restarting every 10k.
Average of 166 posts per day over 600+days if my Maths is right
Putin inviting Biden for a cup of tea 😅
As a result of Biden sending 2 carrier strike groups to the eastern Mediterranean, putin has replied by sending aircraft to patrol parts of the black sea, wonder how long before they fall out of the sky
I do wonder why he bothered. It looks so pathetic. You send carrier strike groups? We'll send a few planes. A few planes that would be turned to vapour in 2 seconds if anything actually happened. It makes him look weak. He would have been better off addressing it purely politically, rather than militarily.
Putin trying to project this illusion of "projected force" from Russia and even a peasant in the backass of nowhere, Eastern Russia can see through it.
Tea! I think everyone knows what can happen after a cup of Putin tea.
So uh the Ukrainians have picked up mad skills this war
Ehh. Nothing compared to this guy:
/s
more details coming out about Biden’s $100bn plan
60 to Ukraine
10 to Israel
remainder to Taiwan and border wall 😂
This guy is running circles around Republicans, best of luck to them voting against helping Israel, “China” and “build da wall”
Politically this is a masterpiece in how to tie republicans up in knots and get billions in further aid to Ukraine
Early in the war I was reprimanded for calling the orc army a slave army. A slave army is exactly what it is.
ah yes...one of my more memorable impossible tasks 😎
Good article on the M39 ATACMs here
”“It's not a Wunderwaffe,” analyst Brynn Tannehill wrote about ATACMS back in September. “It will not singlehandedly win the war. But oh wow, will it complicate things for the Russians. ATACMS can hit everywhere in occupied Ukraine (including Crimea) with minimal warning.””
”1990s-vintage missile ranges as far as 100 miles under inertial guidance.”
…
Nice 👌 I hope Russians within 100 miles of Ukraine sleep tight right before getting a hypersonic rain of tungsten
People have been underestimating Sleepy Joe for years.
Unlike Trump and his band of Know Nothing xenophobes, Biden actually knows how to get sh!t done in Washington. The difference between professionals and amateurs.
1 aircraft 1 helicopter
Another completely failed Russian attack attempt in Avdiivka
Watch video till end, whole column including the two tanks that broke through ahead of rest of group are obliterated with sniper like precision artillery all caught on drone
Russians making another push for avdiivka and it looks like they are getting absolutely devastated again.
If one of Putin's objectives is to sow division in the EU, he is succeeding to this extent. Look at the smug face caught on camera.
The EU moves slowly but when it does move, change is set in motion. If I were a Hungarian citizen or in business there, I'd be getting concerned. There's always room for differences of opinion in a block like the EU but some positions are incompatible with membership.
Good article on capabilities of M1 Abrams
Like DarthPutin pointed out recently Russia went from “Abrams and ATACMs are a red line” to “they are inconsequential and our superior weapons will stop them” being parroted by Putin himself and his propaganda apparatus
Interesting detail included in article, quote:
Russia has laid thousands, if not tens of thousands, of TM62 anti-tank mines, making these the most plausible anti-tank weapons for destroying the M1A1 Abrams. Any tank or other armored vehicle that rolls over one of these mines will trigger its 16.5-pound TNT charge. This is not a strong enough blast to penetrate the M1A1 Abrams’ belly armor, but it would damage the tank’s tracks, immobilizing it in enemy territory. To help deal with stranded tanks, the U.S. government is also sending Ukraine eight M88 Hercules armored recovery vehicles capable of hauling the 67.5-ton tank from the battlefield
Is this modern west tech we’re seeing? Pinpoint accuracy?
Possibly tho I’m not an expert
that video is probably going to be analysed for years to come as a textbook example of use of artillery to “snipe” at and stop and the destroy an armoured column
The RussianZ had no chance, completely wiped out with a handful of shells
This has turned out to be a massive push by the Russians and thankfully it's a disaster. They're also pushing towards Kupyansk.
It shows how much reserves they still have and how they were able to quickly plug any holes during the summer counter attack.
The Ukrainians are very lucky that Russia are wasting all these soldiers and tanks etc. like this. They would of been better off training them properly and having them plug any defences where Ukraine were attacking. It's one of the biggest saving graces for Ukraine that Russia is not doing this.
That, and likely skill. The AFU are clearly better at cultivating and deploying skilled soldiers. What Ukraine might lack in numbers they appear to make up for with quality.
Sadam's huge tank army was destroyed by that quality.
The only explanation for this failure is that the Russian commanders want to lose this war as quickly as possible so they can go home for winter.
