America has a unique chance to significantly weaken its traditional enemies, Russia, Iran and North Korea, without losing a single US soldier, simply by arming and supporting Ukraine enough.
One should think this would indeed be in Americas interest?
But instead they attack their closest allies... 🙄

After the Pentagon forced a mass exit of journalists who understood military finance, tactics and technology, their replacements have arrived: cranks, conspiracy theorists and both foreign and domestic propagandists

Russian Navy’s landing ship, last seen outside German Lübeck a few days ago, weeks before of Danish island Langeland, now seen escorting gunrunner cargo ship SPARTA IV further north.

Starting to smell like a continuous armed presence in Danish straits.

I believe new.

🇺🇦❗️🇭🇺 Zelensky: Orban bases his election program on criticizing everything that the EU offers. He fuels his electorate or a more radical electorate on this criticism.

And Ukraine is one of the main incentives for his party's rating to grow precisely on the basis of blocking Ukraine.

🇪🇺🦅 Europe is arming itself against drones, including FPVs or monitor infrastructure or equipment. A Swedish firm has created a cheap mini-missile to destroy UAVs, – The Telegraph

– Hunts drones using infrared sensors.
– Destroys UAVs with a blow, not an explosive — so there are no shrapnel.

🇵🇱🇪🇺 Europe must realize that it is already at war, — Tusk

The biggest and most important task of our leaders today is to make other people, the entire Western, transatlantic community, realize: this is a war. We did not want this, it is sometimes strange — a new type of war, but still a war.

The same people that swore up and down that Russia wouldn't invade Ukraine are doing their same lukewarm dance over Russia's build up and prepping of a 2nd invasion front. Wishful thinking isn't going to get anyone prepared.

Norway: Russian drones detected over Ørland Air Base where F-35 stealth fighters are stationed.

Russia is identifying key targets across Europe for decapitating strikes to kick off a ground invasion of the Baltic states. Whether Russia actually does that is up to what Europe does now.

First of all we need to exert pressure on Russia.
China supporting Russia, even more, than they already do, is the last thing we need.
