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

Shamordino, Optina Elder Schema-Abbot Eli (2010)
Schema-Archimandrite Eli (Nozdrin) is one of the most renowned and respected spiritual fathers in the Russian Orthodox Church today. He currently serves as the spiritual father of His Holiness, Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia (his classmate from theological academy), and of the Optina Monastery. Alexei Sokolov conducted this interview.

4 x helicopters is a good day out.
Nup, that looks far more like Saruman (seriously, is that Christopher Lee ? ). They’ll betray each other and Zelenssky will find the palantir.

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…
