Stealth doesn’t work on the ground!
Sure we need stealth capabilities but it might only be rugged dispersible aircraft that survive the opening months or year of drone & missile strokes on bases.
I expect an eye watering amount of vulnerable kit will be lost in the opening moments of the next war.

Yeah that’s the problem. Keeping the dumbed down base happy so that in turn Trump can hold the congressman to ransom with threats of endorsement & funding removal.
Keeping congress from acting against him is his No1 priority

I’m getting the impression they’ve copied Putin’s agreement in principle followed by nothing playbook to buy time.
Works every time.
Nothing will be ‘signed’ while Trump lives if ever. Just empty words behind closed doors.
‘The art of the deal’ LOL.

The difference is that UA does not need to expose its troops to the drones in endless bold / stupid attacks.
RU must to achieve its goal.
Ukraine can defend and kill until Russia collapses.
UA offensives will be relatively small and selective.

Well, no doubt they’ll end up with 10,000 drones, manufactured across six states at $500k each.
Hopefully we can learn from the Ukrainians about adaption, flexibility & manufacturing surge capacity 🤞

Does this include drone related cooperation & sharing with Ukraine?
I thought some of that went through NATO channels?
I recall an initiative based in Poland.
TBH - I’m not sure I want them to have that knowledge now.

Unfortunately that mindset literally died with the people who lived by it.
Their offspring, a bunch of entitled, narcissistic real estate investors and tech ‘gurus’ are exploiting and dismantling the fruits of their forefathers sacrifice as if it were a liquid asset belonging to a defunct factory

Today is my dogs 12th birthday.
We’ve bought her a big bag of frozen, skin on supermarket chicken. Which will be roasted until crispy, cooled and served throughout the day.
Best possible present for a labour.

It kind of always has been the ‘arrangement’.
German Torus missile is the embodiment of that policy.
Designed to reach and penetrate the ‘offending’ command centre & units without nuclear escalation.
Mutually assured destruction of the unit that fires it without destroying the world.

Call me naive, but I’ve always felt that the US corrupted the western alliance.
Europe + is far from perfect but the US has always dominated & abused the moral cover of ‘freedom & democracy’ for corporate gain & greed.
We can have a more ethical & consistent foreign policy without them.

Considering the brazen nature of the attack, the prospect of ‘black hawk down’ scenario x10 with man pads and the fact that apparently only the Cubans fought back + the exclusion of Machado
What do you think of rumours that this was a setup between Trump and Rodriguez?

I can imagine Peter Thiel on the phone to to Vance:
Keep the **** out of this. If one of helicopters goes down or this ends up with boots on the ground it’s the end of Trump and you’re in!

He’ll take a lower cut to avoid boots on the ground.
I can honestly see Venezuela resisting such an invasion with covert logistical help from its neighbours. Trump has threatened all of them.

Venezuela does hold some pretty good cards. For now I can’t see a popular uprising against the regime, in fact the opposite seems the case ATM. A foreign attack can galvanise a sene of nationalism. They can offer Trump a deal they like or he faces the nightmare of deeper involvement.

Well reasoned argument you have there. Very clever.
There are no liberators. Nor a force of the required size in the region.
They’re simply removing moduro and assuming the people will accept their puppet in waiting.
We’ll see…. But either way. Do not expect an Iraq style ground invasion

Regardless of the wrongs or rights of the US action. For the analogy to work, the Venezuelan people would have to want to fight.
I think upcoming events will show the opposite.
I don’t think they want guns. They want a government of the people.
Ukraine definitely wanted guns! Lots of guns.

Because an attack can take different forms. The one thing they can do is launch missile strikes into Poland and maybe even UK infrastructure. What can we do in response other than token retaliation or total war? In reality it wouldn’t end well for them. But that hasn’t stopped them before

I read how they had learned to use them in an appropriate role, almost as ‘snipers’ at a distance, keeping cover trees where possible to avoid drones. Plus now they have the fast jets to keep the Aligator helicopters at bay. Something they sorely missed in the southern offensive.

I see. Though how could they deploy and sustain a meaningful force to threaten zaporizhzhia? Hopefully they can’t.

That’s what ive been struggling to understand.
Russian advances seem to be achieved by slowly filtering men through areas of cover, like bombed out buildings and forests.
How will they cross open terrain without armour?
