Probably a politard just being a politard. It's actually a badge of honor.

Because I don't agree with coup attempts
But you do!
Ironically, you're happy as a lark that some of the same folks who likely stole a US election, oversaw a Ukrainian coup in 2014.

Here's some breaking news though, Hoss. Neither the anti-Kavanaugh handmaid zombies, nor Chuck Schumer threatening justices on the steps of the Supreme Court, nor folks strolling through the Capitol on J6 constituted anything remotely resembling a coup or insurrection.

The summer of love, burning down courthouses, police stations, and historic churches adjacent to the WH come far closer to that definition.

What our intel community did in interfering with both 2016 and 2020 elections also damn well bordered on it.

Which brings us to present attempts at election interference. Anyone imagining (as you apparently do) that success in denying Trump the Presidency in 2024 will be the harbinger of anything other than a weaponized socialist DOJ taking out future capitalist candidates, is beyond naive. If Trump is taken out by government lawfare, anyone in the future can be taken out (or selectively protected) in the same fashion.

Wake up!

Even if Ukraine sued for peace tomorrow, ceding all occupied territory to Russia and promising to never join NATO, it would comprise no real Russian victory. Russians expected to be strolling into Kyiv by April 2022. There they would reset the Ukrainian body politick to avenge 2014, then "magnanimously" withdraw from all but the Eastern Oblasts, maintaining those as autonomous Russian protectorates, or incorporating them as was done with Crimaea.

They woefully miscalculated.

In doing so, they exposed themselves to be a vulnerable conventional warfare adversary. That is far from victory. There will be no Russian victory, regardless of outcome. That ship has sailed.

Unfortunately, considering Russia's unconventional military capacity, it is also quite dangerous.

Reportedly, such precision is provided by the drones' sensors. "They have this thing called ‘machine vision,’ which is a form of AI. Basically you take a model and you have it on a chip and you train this model to identify geography and the target it is navigating to. When it is finally deployed, it is able to identify where it is," explained Noah Sylvia, a research analyst at UK-based think tank Royal United Services Institute.

"It does not require any communication (with satellites), it is completely autonomous," Sylvia added.

Chris Lincoln-Jones, a former British military officer and an expert in drone warfare and artificial intelligence, told CNN that the level of "intelligence" in UAVs is still very low.

"This level of autonomy had not yet been seen in drones before, but we are still in the early stages of potential of this technology," he said.


U.S. Cruise Missiles use low altitude terrain following navigation, complex and expensive. Sensors and computational intelligence required to mimic that capability in a small aircraft or drone isn't to my knowledge viable today. Wide area Machine Vision Nav is an order of magnitude more complex. The last comment quoted is the correct one.

Ukraine is using either military grade GPS or Glonass interference immune SatNav systems, perhaps coupled with inexpensive MEMS INS, or Ivan simply isn't jamming his own Glonass system, civil or military, as they're needed for the Russians own use.

Jamming these forms of spread-spectrum signal modulation is in any event a near-field RF exercise with limited range. Emit enough RF energy to jam the entire spectrum over a 100's of kilometers wide area, and you're also wiping out your own stuff.

And because I'm not in this thread often.....

frick Putin and the bootlickers defending his sorry arse.

Thank you for taking the time away from taking pictures of the same column over and over to yet again lecture us on the 2020 election. No one ever talks about it on this site, its a nice change.

Piper Cubs were very popular with pilots just returning from WWII with pockets of unspent pay. An uncle who was a P-38 pilot in Europe, bought one even while he was completing his B.S. and M.S. in math and physics.


My Uncle Harry learned to fly one before he went to LSU and before he bombed the fudge out of the real Nazis. He used to skip class in high school to take a girl flying when his father was away (his father was one of the first pilots for Delta Airlines).

100% agree, and that's the best-case scenario for Russia.

It's never been about "Ukraine winning" because the only way to win a defensive war is to survive. This war will be remembered more as a Russian loss unless Russia somehow takes the whole country eventually.

Secretary of the Russian Security Council Nikolay Patrushev has said that traces of the terrorist act in Crocus lead to the Ukrainian security services

"They are trying to impose on us that the terrorist act was committed not by the Kyiv regime, but by supporters of radical Islamic ideology, possibly members of the Afghan branch of ISIS. <...> However, it is much more important to quickly establish who is the customer and sponsor of this heinous crime. Its traces lead to the Ukrainian special services," Patrushev said.

According to him, the United States created ISIS and other terrorist organizations, and the Ukrainian authorities are under the full control of Washington.

Which is not going to happen. Turkey offered to mediate peace last month based on the current lines and a guarantee that Ukraine would not join NATO in the next 15 years. Russia said that Zelensky has to resign before it will even entertain peace talks.

I don't think Russia is going to win anytime soon, I was just showing how ridiculous Western media has become.

Every person who says Putin will not stop at Ukraine if he wins and must be stopped now unwittingly advocates for it, and you can find dozens of those on your own. If he "must be stopped" then if Ukraine can't do it, we will.

That is a false dichotomy.

We could give Ukraine the necessary weapons in sufficient quantities to stop russia. There is little doubt that we have the weapons but lack the will to provide them to Ukraine.
