Ukraine’s Top Military Leadership: We Are Starting to Win, Russia Is Starting to Lose
-
I wouldn't want to be on drone duty when you have to take out a donkey
-
Oh shit, this guy again.
Also for someone who's "served in the Canadian military" I'm surprised you don't know enough to look at the territorial maps that are updated constantly via drone footage and geo location data.

I mean if you're going to do the whole "bro I'm just telling it like is" play, then actually do it.
If he drops support it's simply because he's not getting anything out it.
Dude is simple as fuck - transactional. -
Ah, yes. You clearly don't care so much you typed out a response.
-
hands-down one of the most effortless things I can do.
-
Yet you clearly could do less, correct?
-
We had a convesation about this in the Ukraine Lemmy Community. Our suggestion was to arm a drone with a carrot, and lead the donkey (carrying all the supplies) out of the orc camp after all the orcs have been liquidated. Ukraine gets supplies, Donkey gets safety, orcs are pink mist. Everyone wins! There's zero downside.

They've always been upset about George Soros but praise Trump letting Elon into every faucet of the government to fix the budget. I can see the budget as a civilian but Elon needs access to my IRS and Treasury department info for "reasons". Claiming he's trying to fix the budget by selling old weapons to Russia would go over just fine for republican constituents. A lot of them don't have any reason to see Russia as an enemy and many I've talked to like Russian culture a lot
️ they don't need a good reason to go with whatever leadership wants and making the libs upset is a pretty great reason for them if it doesn't immediately affect them negatively -
That's the next goal for the GOP. They already moan about how we pay more in military spending than other members, leaving NATO would be something good in their eyes. Ripping up NATO wouldn't be a bad thing to them, just another way to stick it to the "European socialists libs"

They said this before

You’ve had many opportunities to feel shame like this, starting with the unconditional support & complicity of the U.S. government in the genocide in Gaza…
-
In Zelensky's.

I have some hope from the fact that when they showed just how absurdly subservient they are, some people showed up at town hall meetings to yell at them. Not all of these representatives are totally insulated in a maga-encrusted bubble, and at some point the fear of being too pro-Trump might start to compete with the fear of not being pro-Trump enough.
-
It won't. Spoiler alert.
-
Probably not. It only worked so well against Russians because of how shitty their military is. A modern army with properly running vehicles and operating bases (instead of scrap heaps and open trenches) isn't nearly as susceptible to short range civillian drones.
-
This isn't even my final form.

Y’all must have not been around for the Iraq invasion. I stopped being a Republican when my party lied its way into an unnecessary conflict. Iraq only had what Cheney and Reagan sold them in the 80’s. To fight Iran. It’s insane to me for people to forget this important point. We almost brought back the draft for that war. I heard from many leadership individuals that were from my home town. That it was coming any day. Thank god it didn’t. But they abused the troops by forcing them to do extra terms in the conflict zone. No one remembers that either it seems. The GOP was fine forcing service members back into contracts for another 3 years.

The US military (and others) are pouring R&D money into anti-drone lasers. It's the only way for the cost element of anti-drone defenses to make any sense. When that tech is mature and small enough in sure it will eventually be mounted on tanks .
-
And it was true before. Strategic situations change.
-
This is hopium, they kind of have to say this otherwise why would European countries keep supporting them?
Remember when Putin was sick and dying? Or when the Russians would revolt and oust the government? I mean, the chance is not 0% but it’s way likelier that Russia just keeps conquering more and more territories…
