???? Ukraine Weapons Tracker @UAWeapons · 1h #Ukraine: Big News- Slovakia has delivered their S-300PMU SAM battery to to UA: 8x Transport trucks/trailers, possibly for 5V55R missiles, 2x 5T58-2 missile transporters, 5P85DU TEL, 2x 40V6M mobile mast (for 76N6 Low Altitude Acquisition Radar) seen here.
It’s about damn time NATO started delivering on their SAM promises.

Because of the economic warfare US/Europe has started, we'll have a shortage of raw materials and pay at premium, while China and India will use Russia's energy and resources to keep their manufacturing going (at discount).
This is great for India and China, horrible for Russia. Currency wise I don't see Russia wanting to go with the Yuan, which is so heavily manipulated the rest of the world wouldn't trust it either.
For India to "Do something" with it's huge population and massive poverty, they're going to need the West to invest. The hurdle to this has been their political system is so jacked up you can't plan 5 years out, which is going to be a hinderance to any long term project.
The same companies that are willing to bet on, and build assets in, Russia and China aren't willing to touch India - that's how messed up it is.

In the fight against Putin, Senate unanimously approves measure that once helped beat Hitler
The Senate unanimously passed major legislation late Wednesday to revive a World War II-era program allowing President Joe Biden to more efficiently send weapons and other supplies to Ukraine amid Russia’s bloody invasion.
Senators quickly rallied behind the proposal, known as Lend-Lease, as Ukraine’s military proved it could fend off Russian troops who have been shelling Ukrainian cities and towns since late February. The Lend-Lease program created during World War II was seen as a game-changer in the conflict, as it allowed the U.S. to quickly resupply the Allies without time-consuming procedural hurdles.

India could be one hell of an ally and prosper greatly if they would just get out of their own damn way.

I think it's safe to say that board is populated by some stupid mfers
I wouldn't be so sure. Some conspiracy theorists are very smart and just got trapped in a web of echo chambers and too much extrapolation from small data points.
I try not think so binary about radicalization. I believe it can happen to any of us if we don't remain vigilant and think critically about what we are ingesting, and if we don't ever hear the opposing viewpoints. It's the biggest driving factor of why I continue to be engaged in political threads on TD despite having very different opinions from the majority of the board on most topics.

That's fricking big.
Seven more Defense Industry CEOs just masturbated themselves to death.

The primary threat to US cultural and economic supremacy is the United States itself.
The mechanism would be letting the fringes of political ideologies continue to exert more and more influence on elections via social media to the point that legislature just can't function (i.e. the House of Representatives consisting of 217 Majorie Taylor Greene clones and 218 AOC clones would be disasterous).

I think Estonia is closer to St Pete than any part of Finland.

America First candidates threaten neocon establishment, but are in line with preserving America's sovereignty and wealth. Neocons are too concerned about the world and not concerned enough about America's cultural, spiritual and demographic degradation and the steady erosion of the middle class.
Comparing that to socialist open border bumpkins like AOCs is an insult to everyone's intelligence.

Breaking - Russia says Finland in NATO would not be seen as an existential threat!
Translation: It's going to take 15 years to rebuild assets lost in the Ukraine War, so we really can't do anything about it at the moment.

Putin didn’t want NATO on his southern border 500 kilometers from Moscow, but now he is getting NATO on his northern border 250 km from his hometown of St Petersburg.
Another foreign policy fail for Russia.

Which Native American tribe to you belong to? Illegal immigration sucks arse and our Southern border should be secured, but citing "demographic degradation" is hypocritical considering we live in a country that exists solely because of one massive Demographic shift.

Since Ukraine cannot provide the USA with bases, what is Ukraine going to offer as collateral?
