I know right. Why can't people see the billions in money and hardware Trump has shipped to Putin his buddy. But even worse is the satellite Intel he gives Russia every day. Crazy no one cares.

Anybody with an IQ over 75 knows that Trump has done everything he can to help his buddy in the Kremlin, and there are always going to be things that overlap with favors to Putin and Trump's own personal agenda.
And yeah, the proof is right in front of your eyes, you choose not to learn.


Oh look, It's the guy who never understands economics not understanding economics again. Water, wet.

Weird how someone who is in bed with the Kremlin never thought to call Elon and tell him not to shut off Russia's starlink access, which operationally hamstrung Russia for a while and still has them less capable than they otherwise would have been to this day. But you anti Trump cultists won't acknowledge that.

If Trump was really trying to help Putin, Ukraine would have been cooked years ago.

You do know that that's now how controlled assets work, don't you? There is a limit as to how hard they can push the limits of credibility. Trump couldn't possibly have been more pro Russian so far without the stench becoming untenable. No other President in history would have gone down this path. It's already going to cost him the House, or at the very least badly damaged the chances of that. Is he stupid or owned? Because it's one of the two.

The mental gymnastics to avoid examining how important our government actually thinks Ukraine is (hint: not very) is almost sad at this point.

Even under Biden we weren't making them any kind of huge priority.

Vol, be honest with me. You're not a college graduate, right?

You clearly have no military experience, you don't spend a lot of time reading, and I'm guessing the whole 'VolSquatch' moniker is based on who you root for, or perhaps where you want to go to school one day, yes?

You can tell me,

This coming from someone who regularly gets corrected for completely BSing on topics he claims to be an expert in

You're not an analyst, you're a Ukraine fanboy.

So that's a 'yes.'

Okay, no problem. You don't have to be, I'm just curious.

Anyway, Russia continues to fall behind on the battlefied:

Clearly not, you're still allowed here. There should be a stolen valor rule on the site.

If he were that stupid the legion of WH advisors would have corrected it long ago. Do we think Susie Wiles would allow Trump to alienate himself from the independent voters so much on this issue?

In addition, one of the characteristics of stupidity is inconsistancy. Trump has been so consistant in supporting Putin that his decisions are now completely predictable. It's almost like someone else is telling him what to do. Someone that has the Epstein files.

Currently, Ukrainian drones are attacking the refinery in Kstovo, Nizhny Novgorod Oblast. It is one of the largest producers of automotive gasoline and aviation kerosene in the Russian Federation, which supplies fuel to the Russian army. The attack is ongoing.

The Nevinnomyssky Azot in Stavropol Krai (4) has also been hit. This is one of the largest chemical plants in Russia, producing ammonia, methanol, and technical acids for the creation of explosives.

No need for radar when you have RAROG.

The RAROG detector is designed for air rescue to locate lost persons outdoors, such as hikers or skiers. It detects any electronic signal emitted from personal electonics such as phones, watches, fitness trackers, etc., and has a range of 1km.

Now the Ukrainians are using them for their anti-Shahed drones to turn any electronic signature emmitted by the Shahed into a homing signal. They have also tweaked that range out a bit further.

Think of the implications. Scary.

But the Ukrainians are still happy using really, really old weapon systems as well. The last time we saw 40mm Bofors in action was in the South Pacific in 1944. It worked then, it works now.

Speaking of scary, what if Xi demands a full copy of the Epstein files?

What will Putin do? Refuse? Uh, no. He's in no position to refuse anything of the Chinese. Lie and say he doesn't have it it? Uh, no. No one in Beijing is stupid.

No, he'll either have to comply or delay by holding back the really damning stuff. But include just enough to convince the Chinese they have it all.

In either case, we'll soon know what happened when China starts aggressively moving on Taiwan, the Phillipines, Japan and South Korea and TACO looks the other way, probably pulling the Pacific fleet out of the area. The "They have no cards" treatment he is giving Ukraine.
