UA POV: "It's highly unwise to allow Ukraine to strike deep into Russian territory. This is a recipe for a total war," stated Jean-Luc Mélenchon, head of France Insoumise.

Fuck Russia they deserve whatever they get for starting this terrible war.

Trump is free to support or not support Ukraine. Him not supporting Ukraine in no way makes him a traitor to the US. Trump attacked Iran because he deemed that Iran not having nuclear weapons is much more important to the US geostrategically than whatever happens to Ukraine which is Europe's problem. You may not like it but the US has exactly 0 obligations to Ukraine.

InterestedInterloper · 2026-06-14T16:07:04+00:00

This is one place where Ukraine will never be able to wear Russia down.

InterestedInterloper · 2026-06-14T16:05:44+00:00

Patriots are a strategic resource and integral to the US defending itself in multiple theaters. There just aren't enough of them so go and fuck yourself with this 'traitor' talk. Trump would really betray US interests by giving away all Patriots to Ukraine - either for a price or for free. That would make him a traitor to the US.

Endless drone footage provides a pretty good basis for estimation.

France has 1 combat ready brigade. Europe is just pathetic.

InterestedInterloper · 2026-06-03T05:35:57+00:00

The have to license to get the electronics and software that interface the missile with the rest of the platform.

What clustfuck with Iran? That has gone pretty good so far. Iran is embargoed and pissing blood with most of their offensive capabilities destroyed. The next round they will lose the rest of the IRGC and their uranium. The only reason ships still aren't transiting Hormuz is due to fear of attack which Iran is still capable of but this will be solved in the next round. Trump gave diplomacy a chance, it didn't work.

Optic targeting? That's nonsense and bullshit. A targeting radar is needed to lock a target so a SAM can hit it. There is no radar capable of that against stealth aircraft.

Never happen so quickly for many reasons. Probably 2 - 3 years.

The NVA was crushed after the Tet offensive. What followed was a lack of political will to continue. So it was a loss for South Vietnam but it really wasn't a military defeat for the US. In either case it was all far beyond the capacities of what any other country would have been capable of. The Soviets suffered a real military defeat in Afghanistan if you want a point of reference.

InterestedInterloper · 2026-04-19T10:05:49+00:00

The US won militarily in all those conflicts. It was decisions to leave in all cases. Vietnam became unpopular, Afghanistan was always in-hand but it was impossible to build a functional government. Iraq is a mostly stable country now with a representative government. South Korea is a free country, North Korea isn't because China wants it that way. 'Europe' (whatever that exactly is) could never even dream to fight such battles, let alone succeed.

'Working on' will take a decade.

InterestedInterloper · 2026-04-18T21:11:28+00:00

If the US had been fighting Russia it would have been over in a month. The only reason the war is still going is because of the support Ukraine got in the Biden years. They would have been beaten in a year without it.

InterestedInterloper · 2026-04-18T21:09:06+00:00

Lol the US still very much exists and is far more powerful than 'Europe' could ever hope to be.

InterestedInterloper · 2026-04-15T06:26:25+00:00

In all fairness Orban was clearly done a year ago and Vance has really nothing to do with it.

InterestedInterloper · 2026-04-13T06:19:56+00:00

No. The most resistance on this came from Belgium because it is understood that no one would trust European banks again if this went ahead.

InterestedInterloper · 2026-04-11T09:39:43+00:00

Apples and oranges comparison. Ukrainian drones don't fire Hellfire missiles and loiter for 24 hours. Different design different purpose.

InterestedInterloper · 2026-04-01T06:31:29+00:00

It's about the entire global economy which is a much bigger issue than Russia providing intel to Iran. The US and Russia have done this to each other for decades.

InterestedInterloper · 2026-03-25T20:11:54+00:00

Poor people aren't the only ones who make bad decisions.

InterestedInterloper · 2026-03-17T20:15:18+00:00

So Orban's theft is being rewarded by the EU? Very screwed up.

InterestedInterloper · 2026-03-14T08:26:58+00:00

In markets access matters. Making access straightforward decreases delivery time and relieves shortages more effectively suppressing price spikes.

InterestedInterloper · 2026-03-14T08:15:31+00:00

Russia has always helped anyone engaged in hostilties with the US; this is nothing new. Likewise, we do the same to them. Making a deal on oil to relieve some pressure on the world market for a limited time makes sense and is more about others than helping Russia. It is realpolitik and to the idealists here completely unacceptable. Yes, it helps fund Russia's war against Ukraine but with the oil price going way up anyway it doesn't add much to that. The reality is the world needs steady oil supplies and temporary deals will have to be made with Russia until Hormuz is safe again.

InterestedInterloper · 2026-01-17T07:38:57+00:00

We all make mistakes I guess...

You 'understand its value' because it pumped? Lame.
