Yeah, like I was saying flip a coin with this regime. Looks like hawks won again. It was concerning when they flip-flopped on longer range missiles so quickly as it looked like they might take their beating and stop pushing for a larger military failure to follow the economic one. They're going to poke the bear into a gravity nuke or nothing is the plan now, however they barely have any cards left this time and the proxy war is running out of bodies.

Will be interesting seeing NATO engage in an all-out war -- that's the endgame when the hawks win another coin toss and they get the desired result -- with such historically low troop levels. Hope you kids love the draft.

Related, US admits to direct cyber ops against Russia already. We have no treaty with Ukraine, which people tend to forget. It’s enough to declare war on the US directly? Well, that’s what they foolishly want.

The US military has issued a stunning but perhaps not entirely unexpected admission that it has been conducting offensive cyber operations in support of Ukraine. It marks the first ever such acknowledgement, and suggests - as many observers have long suspected - a deeper Pentagon and US intelligence role in Ukraine against the Russian military than previously thought.

@valleyforge About that.

> Another key point was that U.S. State Department lawyers made a distinction between "guarantee" and "assurance", referring to the security guarantees that were desired by Ukraine in exchange for non-proliferation.

Ukraine should be having to defend itself without assistance. If they didn't rob the coffers and foment ethnic conflict they would be in a much better position than begging for money and grinding their citizens to dust for a bigger payout.

As a bonus most of the arms will end up sold on the black market that are not destroyed by Russian forces. The EU is already bracing for a terror attack on airlines from a rogue javelin.
@Ghislaine @valleyforge "That passenger plane had it coming."

Some of us remember how it used to be, and looks like enough people wrongly decided it was better that way.
