LOL, BRICS. South Africa doesn't want to have to arrest Putin.

President Cyril Ramaphosa has confirmed South Africa’s readiness to host the historic 15th Summit of BRICS nations – Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa. It will be the first BRICS Summit to be hosted in person since the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic and the subsequent global restrictions.
President Ramaphosa has in recent months and weeks held a number of consultations on the hosting of the Summit. The President’s most recent consultation in this regard took place last night, Tuesday, 18 July 2023, at the BRICS Political Party Dialogue in Gauteng.
The Summit will be attended by the leaders of Brazil, India, China and South Africa.
By mutual agreement, President Vladimir Putin of the Russian Federation will not attend the Summit but the Russian Federation will be represented by Foreign Minister, Mr Sergey Lavrov.

First of all, it's not a lot of cash. It's mostly donating weapons and ammunition that we weren't using. Or that we had scheduled to be destroyed.
The cash portion is less than 1% of our annual budget.
And the result of these donations is that our old hand me down weapons are kicking the shite out of the Russian army. And warning other bad actors around thr world not to wage aggressive war.
All without a single American soldier being killed or wounded.
This is the biggest US power play since Ronald Regan went toe to toe with the USSR and forced them to dissolve.
I think it makes us look strong as frick.

There must have been soldiers or bio labs hiding in those grain silos to compel such an attack.

Idk ask Putin if our mothballed equipment and munitions for the most part are giving him problems a year and a half into his war that wasn’t supposed to be a war.
The US has picked up two formal and competent allies on Russias border while also picking up massive orders for its military tech to further keep its military industry humming. What allies and defense strength has Russia gained? That’s right, their closest allies told them to F off when their help was requested.

The silos were literally full of swastikas. They are right next to the swastika factory.

That is one grain terminal and looks surgical AF with the key to the loading, elevator leg, being hit. It's either proof that Russia has being targeting civilians or that the orcs got lucky.

It’s definitely been a power move. Our weapons are literally killing the soldiers of one of our 2 biggest enemies by the thousands. Putin said you better not and we gave him the frick you. They might as well paint the shells and rockets red, white and blue. Turkey can do whatever they want but they definitely undermined the position they have been seeming to maneuver for recently.

Well to be fair, they have to repair it every kilometer, so it's taking a while to get there.

"Belarus the second greatest army in the world" is funny in a couple of different ways.

Yevgeny Prigozhin sighted! He says Wagner will "be here in Belarus for some time" before "gathering our strength and heading off for Africa."
"We may return to [fight in Ukraine] when we will be certain that we won't be made to disgrace ourselves and our experience," he added.

Im so sick and tired of this ignorant statement. Where the did the 100 plus billion go if it was obsolete weapons. And if you say duh the stuff had to be replaced then I say duh replacement cost was in the 754 billion dollar budget......so where did the money go???????

International press is reporting many "advisors" from NATO countries have been killed.
