I suspect the administration is establishing a pretext to justify a significant change in the ROE and/or weapons mix provided for UA to strike inside of RU. Falls largely in line with their demonstrated behavior and rationale for providing arms to UA. Behind the curve.

Yep, I agree with you always reactionary.  Yet we already have the stuff ready for such an escalation instead of just supplying it sooner.

🇺🇦 Fighters of the 2nd mechanized battalion of the 53rd OMBr raised a blue-yellow flag on an elevator in the center of New York

⚔ The control of the enemy in the center is also relative, so all previous statements of the Katsaps about full occupation can be multiplied by zero for now.

Today, the fighters of the Russian Volunteer Corps congratulate all military intelligence professionals operating both on the front line and deep in the enemy rear! And according to a good tradition, we congratulate not just in words, but in deeds!

Our fighters and agents are in all corners of Russia and the occupied territories: at closed events, on the seashore, in a quiet village or a noisy metropolis - the RDC is always nearby and ready for active action!

I think since the cable spools out from the drone itself, there is no pulling or tugging on it. It some part get caught or drags, more simple unspools from the drone. If it was unspooling from the source and the drone was digging it then big trouble.

Would have to be foundational changes. Primarily in education system. Colleges and Universities are marxist indoctrination camps. Especially law school. A 4 year degree should no longer be required for Fed jobs, especially LE and intel. Should require military service or some comparable civilian work in private sector or local LE etc. Anyone with a 4+ year degree should be either banned or moved way back of the line behind folks with felony convictions. Colleges should be forced to diversity. No more 100% democrat/commie faculty. 50% conservative or endowment fund seized to pay down student loans. Also make faculty salaries somehow commiserate with ideological diversity. Maybe also make faculty salaries equal to 50 hours per week at minimum wage. Yes these are fascist/authoritarian and will never happen thus the impending doom.

All the problems destroying America came out from a college or university somewhere.

Russia stronk ally in the fightnik for Christianity

"Out of spite for the current administration, Donald Trump has threatened to lift sanctions against Russia. But will he really do it if elected? No, of course not. For all his apparent bravado as an 'outsider', Trump is ultimately an establishment insider. Yes, he is an eccentric narcissist, but he is also a pragmatist. As a businessman, Trump understands that sanctions harm the dollar's dominance in the world. However, that's insufficient reason to stage a revolution in the United States and go against the anti-Russian line of the notorious Deep State, which is much stronger than any Trump," Medvedev said.

The idea of "The derp state" has even crawled up Medvedev's ass and sprouted roots. He apparently defines it as "anything opposing Russia."

No offense taken. I don't know enough about this issue to have strong opinions one way or the other.

It is ironic though that the EU has hard-on for MILLIONS of immigrants BUT ONLY if they are from the ME or N. Africa but are now freaking out over "tourists" or refugees from Russia. It's a ratio of 87K to 1. Even if every single Russian is a legit FSB/GRU asset, the millions of young men from the ME and Africa will destroy Europe. I've seen Russian soldiers walking around in my home town and I hated it but I was never afraid of being stabbed, blown up, or run over.  

I think Orban sees things as a choice between Hungary being a gay brothel and refugee camp for the EU or the bitch of Russia. And they have been a bitch of Russia for decades and feel its better.

German-American Bund society. Large crowds of thousands demonstrating to support Germany or staying out of the war. They STFU after Pearl and Germany declaring war on the US. Our pro-hamas demonstrators today are worse in my opinion.

Shitty jets, but no restrictions on how you use them.  Also Egypt is getting ready for a war with Ethiopia and US production is all going to Ukraine.  I would not be surprised if they have some sort of intervention into Yemen in the near future, since the Houthis have wrecked a large chunk of their economy by closing the red sea to shipping.

Yes.  However, according to the poling of the era, over 70% of the American people wanted to stay out of the European conflict.

Look what’s happening in the Red Sea and the Suez Canal. Egypts revenue from the canal are way down.  The west refuses to deal with the Houthi’s and is showing weakness.  Egypt is going to go where the money is and what they perceive as strength.  My guess is China is going to gift them fighter jets and in turn earn something from Egypt. Plus Egypt has joined BRICS.

The world is drawing lines and picking sides.

My guess is they are going to regret giving up f16’s for whatever Chinese fighter they get.  But there won’t be any restrictions on the Chinese jets usage and they probably will get a lot of them.  Look for a Chinese base in Egypt soon.
