One you don't want F-35s chasing drones lol period.


Hey Mr. Giggles. Did you feel all "LOL" when the US used F-35C Joint Strike Fighters, along with F-15s and F-16s, to intercept and destroy numerous Houthi drones launched from Yemen????.

I mean, if you're gonna post....

Laughable.

Not seen on radar is not collectible.

I'm wondering why they just don't scramble a few F-35's and blow up the drones. Those drones aren't cheap, and it's not like Russia is swimming in surplus.

They sceered.

How has anything Putin has tried to pull off for the past 12 years benefited Russia? I don’t think we should assume he’s going to do things that benefit his country in the same ways we see things benefiting a country.

He controls large swaths of Ukraine and other areas he didn’t before.

He has acquired major mineral resources and fertile farming areas.

He has successfully created a buffer zone between him and NATO and the globalists as he stated was a primary strategic goal.

All at the expense of hundreds of thousands of Russian people, at the expense of destroying his economy, at the expense of seriously isolating themselves from the modern world. It’s been quite worth it let me tell you. This has all certainly benefited Russia.

You mean by the addition of two historically neutral countries, into the alliance? Basically ensuring now that European countries will have soldiers on the ground in the country of Ukraine, when this all ends? It doesn’t sound to me like Russia successfully got the globalists off their back, have forced NATO to retreat, and have successfully gave themselves a buffer zone, between them and the West.

Drones are cheap.

When electronic warfare is used against them they can miss their targets and fly away to places no where near the target.

Ukraine can also fly russian drones into other countries to try to bring others into the fray.

From his perspective it absolutely has.

We ran a color revolution to install a pro western government in Ukraine to eventually position them for inclusion into NATO outright.

So yes. Putin by taking the ground he has even if all of Ukraine doesn’t fall has absolutely created a buffer.

They want us to scramble the F-35s so they can collect signals and data
this. You don't put stealth tech in the air within enemy range unless absolutely necessary. especially when a sam would do the job just fine.

Any ideas on why he would even waste his time doing so while still blasting Ukraine daily with missiles?


My impression is that Russia wants to drag the US into this war just as much as Europe does. Why would everyone be trying to get the US involved? I don't know the answer but it may have something to do with the fact that our debt crisis is one good war away from meltdown. Trump should walk away and tell Europe and Russia to have themselves a nice war.

NATO has been steadily F'ing with the Russians and pushing the Boundaries for the last 30 years. Kind of hard to complain about the Russians pushing back.
