Always has been
Those are F16s from Europe. Air defences from Europe. Storm Shadows and SCALPs from Europe. Tanks from Europe. Artillery shells from Europe. Europe has been training the pilots and soldiers too.
The US sent some big ticket items like HIMARS, but always with strings attached, even under Biden. Bradleys seem to be doing the best from the US supplies.
As I would expect. Does the result surprise people?
If so, rename the arguments to fun() to be r, s, t, and u. Just inside the function. Does the obvious two scopes now make it clearer?
the missile’s original color — a bright pink tip where the warhead is house
…because that’s not phallic at all!
Exactly. It feels like they’re trying to provoke a response so that they’re “justified” in escalating in some way.
“Give me cannon fodder and I’ll give you oil”
This was one of the first things that struck me when I saw footage of soldiers evading fibre-optic flown drones. It’s very terminator-esque.
Hiding, preying it doesn’t spot you. Listening to the sound as it flies ever closer, unsure if this is your last moment. Relief as it flies past, but panic to find the invisible fibre optic cable it dropped so you can cut it.
Found it…snip…squeel…boom…breathe.
There’s $35B from UK, Japan and Canada there that won’t be in the original plot.
During a tense high-level meeting in Brussels, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi told the EU’s foreign affairs chief Kaja Kallas that Beijing cannot allow Russia to lose in its war against Ukraine. According to several sources cited by the South China Morning Post (SCMP) on 4 July, China fears that such an outcome would allow the United States to fully pivot its attention to Beijing.
Over half never came back?
Let’s face it. Nobody who ever saw anything outside North Korea was ever going back to North Korea. You can’t keep the population under control of there’s even the slightest bit of news about the outside world making it in.
It was always a one way trip.
I’m shocked!
There’s a difference between able to see a section of fibre and being able to follow it miles back to the operator.
My take would be they were getting the planes off the ground so that they weren’t destroyed.
Jeez. Doesn’t he know blackface is offensive?

That strike on the arsenal outside Moscow the other week has tee’d all this May 9th anxiety beautifully, and Zenensky is riding the wave like a pro.
They don’t even need to hit it at this point. In fact the cost of trying and failing might be too high Vs just leaving the impression that they could have done it but chose not to.
What’s with Belarus having a schlong?
How dare you use that word!
It’s about Putin wanting to be Vladimir the Great and reforming the Russian Empire.
He wants a legacy, and I think he’ll get one. It just won’t be the one he wants.
One thing I remember from the Brexit “debate” was that many viewed the prospect of the EU having an army as a terrible thing that couldn’t be allowed.
“It’s the Germans wanting to re-militarize under a different flag”
Fast-forward 6 years and Russia invaded Ukraine and the mood has certainly shifted on that one.
“Come on Germany. Get those factories going.”
France, Germany and Italy are giving it a good go too. I think our position on Ukraine has made the UK a lot of friends in Europe. That and voting out the Tories.
And after.
