No more narrow and biased then your perspective, "but everyone knows that’s what you do".

Of course you didn't, even after I gave you the OSCE report.
Yeah I’m sure the OSCE agrees with you. :lol:
It clearly shows a massive uptick in artillery originating from Ukraine in violation of Minsk II. Known by everyone who slightly pays attention. It was why Hunter and Jill had Pedojoe say Russia was going to attack. Your lunkhead "presidential" team was too stupid and gave up the game. You voted for that shit

Russia wasn’t hiding there intent and western intel was predicting it.

Man…your imagination is quite amazing. Is Hunter in the room with you right now?

Guess who got the most fan mail when they broke out in the US. :nod:


The Beatles problem early on was the drumming. The cliche is true: A good band with an average drummer is an average band, an average band with a good drummer is a good band. Ringo's drumming has been bad-mouthed for decades by people that don't know shit about music. The reason George Martin hired him is because he was the best drummer in England at the time. Listen to the drums in "Rain", and listen to "I saw Her Standing There". Ringo rocks and in every sense but songwriting he is at least their musical equal. I put him up there with Richie Hayward, (Little Feat)- and Al Jackson Jr.,(Booker T and the MGs). I like him better than Neal Peart, both of them are flawless technicians with impeccable timing. The difference? Ringo swings - Neal wouldn't swing if you hung him.

No shit all intel were picking up what was happening. What was happening was Ukraine had amassed troops and started firing artillery at a high rate signaling imminent attack. OSCE report confirms the increase in artillery.

You don't remember Russia sitting on the sidelines until Donetsk and Lugansk formally requested help? Why do you think that was? Because Kiev was trying to kill its own citizens and going against Minsk for the third time to attack to try and reclaim lost territory. Remember, these were the piece of shit Azov mercenaries in middle of this.

Worst invasion ever. Russia waits for formal requests, then goes to their government for approval to intervene and THEN they started the SMO. Hiding their intent. Jesus.

Joe Biden knew what was happening and "predicted" incorrectly and then like an idiot, let it slip. Zelensky even told him to quit saying stupid shit.

They will lie to you about Trump being a puppet


TANVI RATNA: How Trump's multi-front pressure is shrinking Putin's operating space
Sanctioned LNG tankers idle near Singapore as 700,000 barrels per day of refining capacity sits offline from drone strikes..

“A sanctioned Russian LNG tanker from the Portovaya project idled near Singapore in May 2026 with no buyer. At the same time, Ukrainian drones had already knocked roughly 700,000 barrels per day of Russian refining capacity offline across 16 major facilities. Europe had locked in a binding legal phase-out of Russian gas. And just four months earlier, U.S. forces had captured Nicolás Maduro in Venezuela.”

Yep! It's good that he doesn't appear to be carrying putin's water anymore ...

Macron hails US alignment with G7’s ‘shared commitment’ on Ukraine
The French president welcomed a “very deep change in the US approach”, saying Donald Trump and all the leaders present at the G7 summit at Évian-les-Bains understood that Vladimir Putin was not interested in peace.

“President Trump, like all of us, simply acknowledged that there was no serious willingness on Russia’s part today to discuss peace,” he said.

Macron repeatedly emphasised a “shared commitment to making progress on this issue”, which he described as “a very profound shift and remobilisation of the G7”.

No. Unlike you my allegiance is to doing the right thing and ordinary people rather than partisanship and political leaders.

Ringo rings of truth!

Ringo Starr frequently credits Paul McCartney for his work ethic and drive, which pushed The Beatles to be so incredibly productive. Ringo often mentions: "I've always thanked him for being that guy because otherwise we'd have put like three albums out and vanished".

Abraham no Lincoln Alvarez …. What an unappreciative piece of shit

FIRST ON FOX: Abraham Alvarez, identified in federal documents as the alleged "ringleader" of a plot to carry out a mass casualty event at the UFC White House event on June 14, is an illegal immigrant from Mexico who overstayed his visa, according to Homeland Security information first obtained by Fox News Digital.

Alvarez came to the United States as a child and was granted by the Obama administration in 2014 deportation relief through the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program after he failed to leave the country when his B2 visa expired in 2001.

The development of drone warfare since the start of the Russia/Ukraine war has been exponential. Think that includes the US military, but the Fed on the domestic side of Counter Unmanned Aircraft Sytems (C-UAS) are playing catch up. Read somewhere in the last week or 2 that the Feds had just started graduating people from their C-UAS school.

WH World Cup task force director Andrew Guilani on Clay & Buck couple weeks ago talking about the C-UAS the WC: its the same at all 11 cities for the airports, fan zones, stadiums & 78 games. Compare that to last year when only 5 SEAR (nat sec events like the Super Bow) had C-UAS.

Will the NFL regular season and playoff games games get C-UAS from local/state/fed? Unfortunately I think there will be a terror attack using a drone(s) with explosives at an open air stadium live on national TV in the near future that doesn‘t & won t yet have adequate C-UAS (like college football).

Thanks. Are the drones shown in those Reddit videos remotely piloted? If so that is some skilled flying in some of those avoiding small trees. I guess the unsuccessful ones that run into trees, etc aren‘t going to be shown.

I would imagine the bulk of the destroyed Russian tanks are T72 & T80s. Saw a video of 3 drone hits taking out a Russian T90. 1st took out the engine, 2nd took out optics, disabling the turret. At that point the tank reparairable, but crew abandoned it. 3rd drone hit looked might have destroyed it for good.

As far as the US M1A2 Main Battle Tank, could a shaped charge from an RPG7 that these Ukranian drones have been rather crudely fitted to carry (article mentions in some cases zip ties) destroy the M1A2 SEPv3, the latest variant? I would assume it would take something like a more powerful SABOT round from a much faster & more powerful anti tank missile.

I know the US gave Ukraine newly built but older versions of the M1A2. Article from Feb last year said after year of combat 1/2 damaged or destroyed (course big difference between damaged versus destroyed). They have reactive armor for the hulls (although not our latest uranium depleted), but they hadn‘t yet at the time been upgraded with reactive armor for the less armored turrets, which is the main vulnerability to drones which tend to attack from straight above like the javelin.
https://www.19fortyfive.com/2025/02/hal ... r-damaged/

Anyway, the tank isn‘t dead yet, but is adapting with anti drone tech and defensive countermeasures.

most of them are FPV. ukraine has been using AI autonomously piloted drones as well. which is fucking scary.

both sides have started using fiber optic lines to communicate with the drones - that makes jamming very difficult. grey zone towns have been blanketed by fiber optic lines from drones
