The US has been clear from the start that they were going to support Ukraine with intelligence and logistics. One example would be the US accurately predicting Russia's intent and timeline to start the war.

Some of y'all are too damn suspicious

Yeah the Pentagon believes the Russians have culminated, meaning they have done about all they can do.

And lest be honest we dimed both of the ships that got hit.

Oh, for sure. I just mean taking credit for multi-hundreds KIA incidents. It's still anonymous-sourced, though. I'm curious to hear how they helped on the Moskva.

In international waters, a Navy P8 flew right over the top it.

Sounds like I’m joining at the right time. I would love to be deployed to a military hospital in Romania.

I'd be curious to hear y'all's thoughts on this, especially on the timing of releasing this.

The administration has been pro Ukraine this whole time. I am trying to avoid getting too political here but IMO they sent the SOD and SOS to Kyiv as a publicity move because Biden’s approval is tanking.

Well it's a better move than Rand Paul repeating Russian talking points today

(AP) — When Vladimir Putin congratulated Emmanuel Macron on his re-election as France’s president and wished him “success in your activities,” the Russian leader probably was being more polite than sincere.

As he embarks on a second term, with the intention of keeping France at the forefront of international efforts to force Putin to change course in Ukraine, Macron has given a green light for the delivery of modern artillery pieces to Kyiv that could help stem Russia’s new offensive in the east of the country.

Firing six rounds per minute over 40 kilometers (25 miles) or more, the truck-mounted Caesar cannons will allow Ukrainian crews to pound Russian troops from afar, then move and pound them again. Used to great effect against Islamic State forces in Iraq and in other conflicts, they represent a step up in France’s assistance to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s government.

I was in Odessa as recently as 2019 and you want most women there to have little clothing as possible.
