Oh sweet Jesus
Germany was experiencing mass starvation, by December of 1918 763,00 people had died, they had suffered immense losses at the front, there were no more reserves, and there at the end of the war, they had to deal with a communist uprising, culminating in the violence of January 1919, and where thankfully Liebknecht and Luxemburg were both killed.

There are plenty of tyrannical governments throughout the world......why arent we spending 113 billion fighting them. Pick a spot, Afghanistan, Nigeria, Somalia, Sudan, South Sudan...ah nevermind most of Africa, Yemen, Burma.
I will tell you why. We didn’t agree to protect the sovereignty of any of those countries as we did Ukraine.
But you knew that, you are just spewing garbage.

I agree. The current administration isn’t doing that. Trump would.
But it’s not hard to put America first and keep our promises, to keep America strong abroad and to maintain our security against all comers foreign and domestic.
Unfortunately since Reagan, HW, and even Clinton; we have failed to do this.

We produce 500 PAC-3 a year last time looked. And these would be spoken for, someone ordered them.

On that topic, from January:
quote:
MILAN — A coalition of European states have jointly ordered up to 1,000 Patriot air defense missiles amid a renewed wave of Russian airstrikes against major Ukrainian cities.
The NATO Support and Procurement Agency is supporting the purchase, which involves Germany, the Netherlands, Spain and Romania. The agency awarded a $5.5 billion production and delivery contract for the weapons to COMLOG, a joint venture between MBDA Germany and the American company RTX (formerly known as Raytheon Technologies).
Under the agreement, if all options are exercised, the four nations will procure a joint quantity of up to 1,000 Patriot Guidance Enhanced Missiles. No delivery timeline was made available.
“The contract strengthens industrial and military capabilities in Europe. The order volume will enable MBDA to set up a production facility for Patriot missiles in Germany as well as major subcomponent production,” Thomas Gottschild, managing director at MBDA Germany, said in a Jan. 3 news release.
Gottschild noted the COMLOG facility is the only one of its kind for Patriot missiles outside the United States, but a NATO statement said COMLOG will expand the production capacity of tactical Patriot Guidance Enhanced Missiles, or GEM-T, in Europe.
The German-American joint venture has operated for more than three decades, providing logistics support for Patriot Advanced Capability-2 missiles. Its main customer is the NATO Support and Procurement Agency, which acts on behalf of other European Patriot users and the U.S. Army.
GEM-T is one of the variants offered to international customers. It provides the ability to destroy tactical ballistic missiles and enemy aircraft in complement to the PAC-3 version, according to RTX.
In December, the Romanian Defence Ministry reportedly submitted a request to Parliament to buy 200 PAC-2 GEM-T missiles for its own Patriot launchers. It remains unclear if this purchase is related to the combined multibillion order.
These order comes amid an intensification of aerial attacks carried out by Russian forces against two of Ukraine’s largest cities since the new year.

It’s more than that now and we have stocks in the states as well as oversees. Also, Ukraine uses the PAC-2 missiles in its Patriot batteries. Please answer me one question. Why do you want Russia to overrun a country they illegally invaded? Simple question.

Ukraine's will to fight is drawn from a very deep and ugly history at the hands of Moscow.

What is interesting is that a former neighbor performed 50% of the flora and fauna survey of the Mexican border during GWB's time in office.

Meanwhile, the man that SirWinston wishes that he could be is taking a break from simping for Hamas and is back in Moscow.

Oh please let a Javelin find that fricking tank with that traitor in it.
Also there’s rumors yesterday’s attack on Crimea and Sevastopol with Storm Shadows hit an airfield that damaged 3 Ka-52 helicopters and one fighter, most likely a Russian navy Mig-29 or Su-27.

It’s worth finding out the delivery date, from initial to when the contract will be completed. It will take them a while.
