Good.
 I wonder what all the 14,000 other anti-armor systems are. AT-4s, M-72s, etc I would figure. Maybe some Gustavs? I wonder if there are any Dragons still laying around... @KA3B did we ever figure out what anti-ship missiles the Brits gave them are? |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Woo proxy war! Don't kid yourself. This is going to end poorly for Ukraine and for some of the nearby countries. I wouldn't be surprised if a nuke ends up landing in Germany or even The UK. If Putin is as sick as the news says he is, there's no way he's not going out with a bang. Meanwhile, Ireland is accepting an unlimited amount of Ukrainian refugees and letting the citizens know that they may be forced to harbor them in their homes and businesses. We'll probably start to see more of this from other EU countries and wouldn't be surprised if the WH doesn't start thinking of doing the same (LA tried it with the homeless). It's being reported that the US doesn't have the resources necessary to replenish the armaments we "lent" to Zelensky. Too many sole source contracts and dependence on foreign raw materials. As for Zelensky, he's a dirtbag criminal that is sacrificing his citizens in exchange for fame and fortune. Nothing is good about this war. There are no heroes, only villains. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Just think of what we could have done with all that on our southern border. We don't even need that. Just some buses so we can load them up and drive them right back. It would cost less than a local school district spends on busing to move tens of thousands of illegal aliens per day back to Central and South America. Of course, I would make them all spend a year building the wall before I deported them. But I'm racist like that. You guys would be nicer and just drive them home. |

I am interested to see if our switchblades do as well against Russia as the Israeli Harop and the Turkish version did against Armenia in the hands of Azerbaijan.
I also want to see what The Israeli Harpy anti radar drone could do to take out Russian air defense systems. Are the Israelis still sitting on the sidelines because of their close ties to Russia? |

The Ruskies already know where it’s coming from, so it’s not as if it’s a state secret. That only works against countries that actually care about their own casualties. Kinda like the "5.56 was designed to wound because it would take 2 more soldiers out of the fight to care for the wounded man." Yes, because all the enemies that we have shot 5.56s at have been so terribly concerned about taking care of their wounded. |

Yeah I'm pretty sure the Russians know that the weapon systems came from the United States when a tank gets taken out by a javelin or an aircraft gets downed by a stinger. |

Biden can take Trump's strong position and end all imports from Mexico, all assistance to Mexico and all daily visits from Mexicans until Mexico turns back all invaders at the southern Mexican border and pays for having all the other invaders deported and returned to their country or hell...whichever is closer. The ammo looked like .22 ammo |
