My ex-wife had an uncle like that. He would argue about anything. Once he was losing an argument badly so I told him that black pepper doesn't digest so he started telling his brother in law that black pepper doesn't digest, to try to one up the other brother in law.

I always thought the Tomahawk thing was an empty threat. And one Putin could easily see through.

We only ever made 4000 of them. And we've fired hundreds of those. And the replacement for them has just gone into production. And most of them are designed to be fired from sea based systems. . It's not like we could have just given them 1000 of them overnight.

I honestly have no idea what the point was of getting Zhelensky to Washington and then Trump meeting Putin in the next two weeks? . I think Trump juat likes being in the spotlight.

Neither side is budging. Ukraine will get the weapons it needs to keep Russia at bay for the foreseeable future.

The one who has the leverage here is China. They are keeping the Russian war machine afloat with money and hardware. Soon Putin will learn what this lifeline will really cost him. But probably not until the price is too steep for him to pay.

China playing the long game to perfection.

10 Tomahawks would do enough damage to the Shahed drone factory and the remaining Russian bomber fleet.

Only problem is they won't concede on anything because both sides think they are winning. And oddly enough neither is correct as of today.

If someone has their hands around your neck and are trying to strangle you to death, are you losing if you're not dead, yet?

There's an article in Popular Mechanics this morning that says the Flamingo carries a bigger payload and further than Tomahawk. And Ukraine will be making 7 per day by the end of the year.

Uh, yeah

You havent lost for sure though.

Another wrinkle no one seems to be considering is that Ivanka supports Ukraine.

Her husband, Jared Kushner, orchestrated Arab investment into Israel's defense industry, over the last several years. Qatar, UAE and SA are invested in Israel. This is at least part of the reason the rest of the Arab world has abandoned Gaza.

Besides partnerships with European defense industry, how much of such investment is behind the Ukrainian defense industry R&D?

No... the reasons the Arab world have abandoned Gaza are:

3) Shi'ite Iran... enemy number one, who started funding Hamas and Hezbollah... which makes it even more obvious that:

2) Israel is now viewed as a stable and dependable neighbor, who does not start shite with you of you don't start shite with it... they're (compared to Iran) sane with understandable goals and objectives, and easy to co-exist with... and on a generational level there's been a shift because:

1) In reality, the rest of the Arab world NEVER gave a shite about the Palestinians... they were just a pawn because older Arabs would not/could not accept the idea of a Jewish state in the region. Those leaders have all either died off or are close and have waning influence... and younger Arab leaders give even less of a shite about Palestinians, but... see number 1 and 2 again.

So in that scenario your advice is to stop fighting?

Yes, give up. Let the guy who has been trying to kill you finish the job.

Turn the other cheek.
