Six anti-drone radars, the weapon station gun is 30mm so not as beefy as a Gepard/Skynex but those are meant to take out more than drones. And, yes, AI-enabled targeting.

Well, mules don't require fuel, and they also work as field rations in a pinch.
Otoh, they need a steady supply of mules. I don't think there are that many nowadays. Although who knows with Russia.

It would rip NATO apart.

Ukraine is their neignbor. Being that most of Europe are also NATO members, It makes more sense to me that they be the ones to spearhead this proxy war if anyone should.

Good. Slava Ukraini

Russia is all of our problem. Being that the US is part of the world and Russia is a rogue state with a nuclear arsenal and the flagrant aggressor, it makes plenty of sense for us to invest in reducing their ability to cause these kinds of shockwaves every 7-10 years on the world stage.
Do you seriously think we should only concern ourselves with Mexico and Canada or something?

"Have you forgotten the social and political unrest Russia has caused in our country? Are you unaware of the money and personnel they invest into destabilizing our country? Should that just go completely unanswered?"
you overestimate the influence russia previously had in our country while simultaneously underestimate the impact of the worst of americas history on my own fellow Americans as well as the rest of the world.
Do you seriously think we don't invest money and personnel in destabilizing russia?
"Do you seriously think we should only concern ourselves with Mexico and Canada or something?"
I seriously think we should do what our fellow NATO countries have been doing the past 8 decades and start focusing our attention on improving living conditions at home instead of constantly spending absurd amounts of money to perpetuate this infinitely growing war machine that claims to hold other countries to standards that it can't even hold itself to.

But they'll also toe the party line, no matter what that line is or who's drawing it. I've known enough "I'm a Republican. I vote for the nominee" conservatives in my life to know that.
-
Lol. Both sides do this.
Also - Ukraine nazis are done -
proxy war
So you think Russia waged this war just to stick it to the West? To me it looks like a war of conquest - Russia invaded so they could take land.

Found the nazi

Hmm, should I consider your post as an honest dialogue and actively continue talking to you?
Nope! That tells me everything I need to know about you. Now I get to press the "block" button and you disappear from my life forever!

Step up, EU. It's on you now that the US are traitors.
-
Russian bot.

You can actually look at how Russia/Ukraine has been handled and see that that is factually incorrect. Look at the votes. Senate Republicans in particular have had no problem voting to send aid
-
The EU has given far more support to Ukraine than the US.
-
With all due respect, you’re doing their job for free right now.

The current iteration of the GOP in the senate and congress resembles that of a drying jellyfish on a beach: spineless and worthless (no disrespect to actual dying jellyfish on the beach, who serve admirably in the food chain) . They will do whatever the fuck their god emperor tells them to do.
They confirmed RFK Jr. for fuck's sake.

We've had these for decades now. They're called CIWS, and they're capable of taking missiles out of the sky and turning inflatable dinghies into flotsam. They're mounted on every aircraft carrier in the world - both US and otherwise - and we've fielded trailer mounted variants for at least 20 years. They were using them in Iraq to blow mortar rounds out of the air.
We have automated systems on vehicles capable of identifying a tank round traveling 1,700 meters per second via radar, figure out whether it's going to hit or miss the vehicle, and fire an explosive at it to neutralize it if it is, all within a span of about 300 milliseconds.
The biggest issues with drones are largely man portable solutions and things that don't send thousands of rounds of lead into the sky to rain down on a population center. Drones are small enough to fly indoors and cheap enough to be deployed in swarms. Figuring out how to counter those aspects is probably where the most energy is going to be spent.

As I said in another comment, Russia is a very specific issue. You can look at the votes on funding, they tell a pretty clear story. The senate in particular has had no issue pushing through funding for Ukraine
