Fark me trump has screwed things up so bad that I’m agreeing with the Greens on defense policy.

  • build local drone and missile manufacturing capability
  • transition out of AUKUS
  • strengthen other military alliances
  • stop helping America to project military power

2024 me would never.

The UN Noon briefings give a daily run down of power outages caused by Russian strikes,
The briefings also provide a summary of humanitarian aid delivered, including supply of essentials and restoring networks
The humanitarian aid delivered by the UN and NGOs ( including employing locals) has been compromised by the US direction to suspend US funds to the UN specialised agencies , as well as bilateral aid to NGOs via USAID programs.

Nup, that looks far more like Saruman (seriously, is that Christopher Lee ? :rofl: ). They’ll betray each other and Zelenssky will find the palantir.

Yeah, you’re right. Saruman.

This seems an unusual use of Himars ( extravagant?) , tbh . Are Russia getting clever enough - or so depleted -that target rich environments are no more?

A helicopter is well worth a himars shot.

Eg a KA-52 is worth $16M USD.

Four helicopters in the open, too good to pass up…probably been hoarding the tungsten ball rounds for just such an opportunity…

Humph, I thought this would run to over 15 pages.

More on the Black Sea, err ‘peace’ for anyone interested.
