That voting for people just because they are the frontrunner when there are better candidates that may be lesser known ensures the status quo. If everyone would quit thinking that they were throwing their vote away on a 3rd party candidate, those candidates would no longer be on the fringes.

We have a jungle primary system and it’s very easy to get on the ballot, but it’s not easy to win. You have to sell yourself to the electorate. If you can’t then you aren’t s good candidate.

You could be the smartest person, the most capable and the most honest; but if you can’t sell yourself to the voters you aren’t a good candidate.

If we had a parliamentary system, many parties have chance. We don't have a parliamentary system, so the primaries are the avenue for candidates who don't want more of the same.

Now confirmed::

Ukraine's Defense Intelligence confirms the shooting down of Russian A-50 over the Sea of Azov


It gets worse --

Yesterday I heard from the Ukrainian officers planning the #Patriot ambushes of russian air force planes that russia has only 1 operational A-50U AWACS aircraft left.


And the one just shot down was the last one left flying.

The saddest thing is that so-called "lifelong Republicans" in this thread are clearly sending blind upvotes to these leftists. Their lack of intellectual integrity / honesty is discouraging.

If Barack Obama, Bill Gates, Hillary Clinton and Klaus Schwab argue that you shouldn't shite in your pants, "some people" will naturally assume that you should shite in your pants.

Furthermore, everyone not shitting in their pants is a bad person, and upvoting someone who doesn't shite in their pants makes YOU a bad person.

Holy shite this is HUGE for Ukraine! I don’t think Russia has anymore airworthy A-50 aircraft left. This will basically blind them now past what their fighter’s radar can see. WOW. AWACS are not easy to produce either and they are absolutely vital to air operations. I don’t know what the hell we would do if we didn’t have the capability we have in this area.

We agree on Ukraine and that what Putin and Russia has done is 100% wrong and they deserve to burn for it but could you honestly see yourself voting for a man that seriously can’t even remember people’s names or what he had for breakfast? I know you don’t like Trump but I just can’t vote for a man that looks like he’s got full blown dementia or early onstage Alzheimer’s. Give me Trump for better or worse. Biden is just not fit to hold that office and even the most left wing media can’t hide it anymore. This is why he won’t debate Trump and will hide just like he did last election and hope the bullshite ballot harvesting will steal him another election in which he won’t live to see the end of his term. Then you have literally the dumbest bitch on earth as POTUS. No thanks. I think Trump is smart and picks Tim Scott to be his VP and the people wake up and realize the dirty shite the left has been fricking everyone over.

I appreciate that Ukraine knocked all of these out of the sky, but what does it mean for actual combat on the ground?

When do you think the Russian invasion of Finland is happening, precisely?

Reminder: Finland is OFFICIALLY in NATO, while Ukraine isn't even in serious consideration yet.

Seeing some reports that Hungary is going to approve Sweden for NATO membership next week after Sweden agrees to sell them more Grippen fighters.

The fact that close to 15 million swarthy illegal men will have invaded our border during Biden's term and it doesn't move the needle for you is probably proof that you are indeed no longer a Republican.

Won't even mention all the woke LGBTQ nonsense and the DEI stuff they are pushing on Zoomers and younger.

None of that has anything to do with Ukraine/Russia.

All these gains the Russians have been making were due to increased use of aviation dropping gliding bombs. Those aircraft were being directed by those A-50 because they can see sooooo much further than the onboard radars on the Su-34 and Su-35 which leaves their air wing very VERY vulnerable. You won’t see as many of those bomb runs. What it REAlly helps is when there are F-16s flying and there are no AWACS to track their movements which means the Russians will start getting a taste of their own medicine when F-16s start dropping JDAMs on Russian positions. This leaves Crimea in a very precarious position as well. Somewhere Putin is not having a good day.
