It has been more than 3 years. No-one from the west will do anything to escalate. US wants out, Europe wants Russia to be busy in Ukraine for as long as possible and will send weapons and money to keep status-quo. And unless some unexpected 'black swan' event happens or 'Russia will collapse in yea...

Not feasible unfortunately with existing assets for any long term daily/nightly interdiction. NATO would need to develop their own full anti-drone suite and they're not there yet on that scale. I think you're thinking too literally. This would be massive boost to UKraine morale and a big kick in th...

I think you're thinking too literally. This would be massive boost to UKraine morale and a big kick in the teeth for Putin. Whether we have everything in place to stop incursions is immaterial. It lays the ground work for a complete air interdiction. It has been more than 3 years. No-one from the w...

They've sent plenty into Romania and Poland before. They were stupid sending 20 at a time. Russia is testing Nato.. see what the response is. Look for Russia to increase the number of incursions...... Russia wants to see how weak Nato is.... We should commence a no fly zone 100 miles into ukraine f...

ok, we can close out the long odds on Mossad being involved in the Kirk thing.

Since you've made the Nazi and Confederate analogy here, both of those groups had intellectuals and/or politicians that influenced their movements that did not explicitly advocate for violence but still clearly set the tenor and tone. Let's not pretend that not specifically advocating for violence ...

They say one of the key factories for drone production in China is making a drone a second for the Ukraine war. Pretty impressive you might think.

I don't disagree. But isn't it better to be able to debate and counter his arguments than just yell at him, or others we disagree with.

You can see how excited refry is by it all, like a macabre soap opera. I think a lot of people do treat it that way, looking for 'point scoring' opportunities among their own groups. It's just internet drama, digital curtain twitchers. Hey, I like that one. Definitely going to borrow it. ;)
