Shocking: Ukraine reportedly selling American Javelin Missiles on the Dark Web
Pentagon thinks this is Ruskie propaganda. But we've heard that call before. Before the Ukrainians embark of graft and corruption in selling needed weaponry they have a "special military operation" to contend with. The Russians take over, all the arms traffickers will go to Siberia.

They were, in ignorance of Russias retreats from Kyiv and Kharkiv. Now, unlike Russia, the Ukrainians appear to have had a plan and are successfully fighting back. The russians just ran leaving behind the evidence of their rape and pillage tactics.

You say that like it’s a bad thing.

God forbid the people don’t want a lifetime dictator. Wait, I’ll save you the effort. “It was a coup!” “We we’re meddling.!” Never mind Russia actually tried to assassinate the pro western candidate who won in 2004.

They have a plan and it involves multiple fronts and the use of reserves. It is also more than what we can figure out. So I guess will we have to do like one of my sauce(s) said. Just watch and see.

The Twitter account in the article appears to be decidedly pro-Russian and it doesn’t make much sense for Ukraine to start selling western weapons they desperately need and risk stopping the flow of them, especially when their strategy and effectiveness seems to be working quite well. It doesn’t make sense. What are they going to buy with the $30k if the west were to stop sending or selling them weapons for fear they sell them to an Iran or the like?

The Ukraines are being rearmed with superior weapons et and now not just the U.S. is involved. Everyone is pitching in and Russia doesn’t have the will power to fight in its ranks or the equipment to do it. They have a lot of old 152mm howitzers and that’s really about it. The Ukrainians have the tank numbers and shoulder fired anti tank weapons now to blunt an armor attack and they may have a 2:1 disadvantage in artillery but a lot of that artillery is far superior and more accurate than what Russia has. They also have Bayraktar TB2 drones that Russia has absolutely no defense for because they can fly higher then their jamming lasers can pick them up. They are also getting attack drones from the US and thanks to Sweden and Denmark for sending their Robot 17 and Harpoon missiles respectively the a Russian Navy can’t come close to the Ukrainian coast in the Black Sea region especially around Odessa area. They basically have to stay anchored 75 miles off the coast unless they want another ship sunk.

Ukraine just keeps edging the Red Amerikans in this thread. 
Leads them up just to the edge of ejaculation and then, whiff!, it’s gone.

French arms firm busts sanctions to help Russia build weapons
In France, Thales is not just a public company. There are three arguments to support this assertion.
1) The company specializes in the manufacture of systems for military, aerospace and maritime purposes
2) The company's shares are listed on the Paris Stock Exchange
3) It is not so much the private shareholder (the Dassault family with its 24.62% share) that is important, but the French government and its 25.67% share. Simply put, a company that is more than a quarter controlled by the French government, exports components that kill Ukrainians.
According to open sources, Thales supplied Catherine FC thermal imaging cameras to Russia, which were used to manufacture the Essa, Plissa and Sosna-U thermal sighting systems. They enhance the combat capabilities of modified Russian T-80, T-90, T-72 tanks and other military vehicles.
Since this model of equipment was created in 2016, foreign manufacturers had to supply components at least a year earlier. Consequently, Thales sold military goods and technologies to Russia after the introduction of the first wave of sanctions (Council Regulation (EU) No. 833/2014 of July 31, 2014).

It’s the French what do you expect. They were ungrateful when we liberated them in WW2 because of the destruction. They are just not very kind people. I’ve been to France a good many times in my life so I’m saying this from experience. Maybe it’s just people acting normally and I’m a southern guy who believes in hospitality but you can tell they hate Americans.

Its because its not true. They ran a story yesterday that in Syria you could buy a Javelin for 15,000...only problem there is nobody in Syria with 15 bucks muck less 15k. Also how are these weapons getting out? not flying, not by ship.

Feels like the longer this war goes, the higher the risk of Europe fracturing either in the process or in the post war period.

It would be a financial death sentence to France to side with Putin.

I’ve always been treated with the utmost hospitality anytime I’ve been to France, which spans roughly five months over a half dozen different trips. Maybe you’re a shithead when you’re over there?
