The party of Regan has become the party of Putin. You must be so proud. Who cares? The sooner we stop funding this endless war the better.

B-Man Posted February 24 Posted February 24 Theories of Ukraine support which have completely fallen flat: 1. Protect ‘democracy’ (lol) 2. Weaken Russia/Putin - Putin has more of an ironclad grip than ever. The Russian economy has sanction proofed itself completely and their war production has boomed since the war began 3. To ‘deter’ China - Russia instead has become a Chinese vassal and the Chinese government got a free lesson on how to sanction proof their economy and on how to combat NATO weaponry. Also, weapons that would have been valuable for Taiwan were shipped to Ukraine instead all while depleting US stockpiles and making us less secure 4. Fortify NATO/Europe- Europe has proven itself unable to meet even modest arms production goals, it has become dramatically poorer after shifting off Russian gas, it faces populist revolts and today can't even guarantee a peacekeeping force in Ukraine of 30k without the US footing the bill and providing all their intelligence support

Wacka Posted February 24 Posted February 24 Let's see if they were shot from the back or not.If they were, it was because they were running to the rear to get awayy from the Russians or they were surrendering to the Ukrainians because they didn't want to be canon fodder for the Russians ad the Russians shot them. At least the surrender gives them a chance to live.
All_Pro_Bills Posted February 24 Posted February 24 (edited) Whatever deal Trump negotiates is guaranteed to be better than the screw job Biden gave to our Afghan allies that he adandoned. If I recall, the majority of the whiners here over any potential Ukraine deal were okay with sentencing all those people to death at the hands of the Taliban which also got bonus gifted billions in abandoned military hardware and cash. And your excuse.... it was Trump's plan! Yeah right. It was also Trump's plan to keep the border secure but Mayorkas and Biden had no problem changing that into a 4 year fiasco (that contributed significantly to Harris' defeat I might add) but with the Afghan withdrawal deal their hands were tied. Okay then. So tit-for-tat lets just blame Biden for any Ukraine deal and we can call it even! Edited February 24 by All_Pro_Bills

Trump_is_Mentally_fit Posted February 25 Author Posted February 25 https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2025/02/25/ukraine-drone-warfare-russia/ KYIV — “Really cheap stuff is killing really expensive stuff,” Deborah Fairlamb tells me. Fairlamb is co-founder of Green Flag Ventures, a venture capital firm based here and in Los Angeles. It invests in early-stage Ukrainian companies pioneering artificial intelligence and cyber products that are dual-use, meaning with both military and civilian applications. We’re chatting in the lobby of the Intercontinental Kyiv hotel, which is hosting the Defense Tech Innovations Forum, a conference on defense industry technologies. It looks like a Silicon Valley tech-bro gathering, except it’s full of middle-aged Ukrainians in Steve Jobs-style black turtlenecks and men in military fatigues, with a handful of women in attendance, too. The lobby has become an upscale version of Rick’s Café in “Casablanca” — sit there long enough, and you’ll see former CIA director and retired Army Gen. David Petraeus being hailed like a returning hero, or a group of German soldiers headed to a meeting in the restaurant. The topics discussed at the forum cover a wide array of technology developments, including encryption and electronic countermeasures, but the buzz is focused on drones. A rep from Brave1, the Ukrainian government-run coordinating platform for the rapidly growing drone sector, told me that sometimes a new development goes from a proposal to design to prototype to field-testing to front-line deployment in a matter of weeks. And then, he added, Russian countermeasure efforts begin, and Ukrainian tweaks are made, in an escalating game of cat-and-mouse. “In terms of what this means for America, this doesn’t mean you have to get rid of the old stuff” — meaning heavy-duty traditional military hardware — “although the old stuff, the tanks, there are some huge vulnerabilities in those,” Fairlamb says. “There are all kinds of stories of $500 drones killing $5 million tanks, on a very regular basis.” She adds that these cheap kills are occurring on both sides of the battlefield. With the United States’ continued role as the guarantor of European security now in doubt, given recent statements by President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, the good news for Ukraine is that defense ministries in Europe — primarily from Nordic countries and the Baltics — are in attendance and absorbing the dizzying pace of change in battlefield technology. Russia has its own visitor studying new military tech: North Korea. “The Russians aren’t just bringing the North Koreans to the front lines; they’ve got them in a number of the Russian drone production facilities, learning and telling them to go build them at home,” Fairlamb says. Last November, North Korean’s state-run news agency reported that dictator Kim Jong Un wanted his country to begin mass production of self-detonating explosive drones. Earlier this month, Japanese public broadcaster NHK reported that “North Korea is expected to start producing drones this year that will be codeveloped with Russia,” adding that Pyongyang will receive “technical help from Russia to develop multiple types of drones to be mass manufactured.” Also this month, North Korean government aviation officials toured Russia’s premier drone training facilities and attended a major aviation expo in Moscow. The delegation visited Moscow State Technical University of Civil Aviation’s advanced technology park for drones. Kyrylo Budanov, head of Ukraine’s military intelligence agency, told the South Korean Chosun Daily last week that “the North Korean military of the future will be fundamentally different from its past. … North Korean soldiers are fast learners, adapting to modern combat tactics and strategies in just a few months. Their combat effectiveness has improved dramatically — not only with conventional weapons like tanks but also with advanced systems such as drones.” And the Russian-Ukrainian war is increasingly a fight of drones. A recent report by Britain’s Royal United Services Institute concluded that tactical unmanned aerial vehicles, or UAVs, as drones are known, “account for 60 to 70 percent of damaged and destroyed Russian systems.” The report cautioned that Ukrainian officers emphasized the need to combine artillery with drone warfare as the most effective tactic, but it is not an overstatement to say that drones are what’s keeping Ukraine in the war. Ukrainian forces almost invariably field a mix of UAVs that includes light and heavy bomber drones and first-person view, or FPV, drones. Sometimes, that might be all the Ukrainians field. In December, Ukrainian soldiers near Lyptsi, about six miles from the Russian border in the Kharkiv region, launched a successful nothing-but-drones assault on a Russian position. Based on interviews with military officers, the Ukraine-based Counteroffensive news site reported on what it called a “first attack of its kind,” involving “dozens of FPV, recon, turret-mounted, and [self-detonating] drones all working in tandem on the ground and in the air. … No drone swarm technology was used, which meant that each individual drone was piloted by an individual pilot.” Picture being a Russian soldier, seeing the enemy advancing upon you, and there’s not a single human being among them. It must have felt like some far-off future imagined by James Cameron had arrived early. For Ukraine, the fervent hope is that it hasn’t arrived too late.

Comrade, please cite your evidence for this genocide. here's some more against it During the build-up to its invasion of Ukraine, Russia falsely accused Ukraine of genocide against Russian speakers in the Donbas region. Ukraine fought a war against Russian proxy forces in the Donbas War from 2014 to 2022. Russia's president Vladimir Putin used this claim of genocide to justify the invasion of Ukraine. There is no evidence to support the allegation and it has been widely rejected.[1] Following the invasion, Ukraine brought a case before the International Court of Justice (ICJ) to challenge Russia's accusation. During the proceedings of Ukraine v. Russian Federation, the ICJ said it had found no evidence of genocide. The International Association of Genocide Scholars also rejected Russia's accusation.[2] Further reports by 30 legal and genocide scholars warned that Russia's accusations are part of the "accusation in a mirror" technique, ultimately revealing the Russian incitement to commit genocide against Ukrainians.[3] Edited February 25 by Joe Ferguson forever

Ok Hillary, how much did you pay for that tape rumor? FYI, I didn't use the word genocide. There were about 4,000 civilians killed from 2014-2022 in the border regions. There's plenty of documentation of Ukraine's military attacking and killing ethnic Russians. The difference between us is that I don't feel need to make one side all good and the other side all bad. Russia has done terrible *****. And to think Obama, Hillary and Biden thought it would be a net positive for the world to go to war with them... Or was it just a net positive for their pocket books?
