Osama Bin Laden and September 11th were "ok". I didn't like them personally as a Westerner, because they negatively impacted our Western interests, but I don't think the people that perpetuated the attack were uniquely evil, in any way that we aren't. I don't think they are the "bad" guys and we...
Yes, you absolutely apply rules subjectively and arbitrarily. Literally every nation, alliance, religion, etc does it in support of their interests, every single day. It's called being self-interested. Name me the perfectly sincere, always trustworthy, never selfishly motivated and always...

It's not about being humane. It's about being self-interested, like everyone on the planet and warring with those that take issue with our values. You reference Christianity, but Islam is just as radical. The Quran literally calls for the death / jailing of non-believers (with a couple caveats)...
Apparently, Ukraine 🇺🇦 received a much needed, fresh batch of 122mm artillery shells today from an undisclosed Eastern European nation that is producing them abroad, in conjunction with domestic company Ukrainian Armor, which produces mortars and mortar shells for the Ukrainian military...
Big day of support for Ukraine coming out of the Munich conference last week!!

Contents of the package...
They'll bitch, moan and throw a fit as per usual and the Japanese (who despise the Russians) will continue flipping them off.
In a non-nuclear scenario, there isn't a damn thing that Russia's Pacific Navy could do to the Japanese Naval Fleet, supported by the U.S. Navy, that wouldn't lead to...
Canada 🇨🇦 will provide Ukraine with 800, R70 Sky Ranger UAS, dual purpose, surveillance / ordinance drop drones. The value of the package is $95 million dollars. Each drone is valued at approximately $118,000. One has to wonder if that money could not have been better spent on a cheaper drone...
Wow, massive aid package by Japan 🇯🇵 has just been announced. The Japanese will provide Ukraine with $12.1 Billion usd worth of macro financial aid. The first tranche, worth $4.7 Billion usd, will be delivered by the end of February.
This marks, by far, the largest donation from a non-NATO...
Lol Russia is only producing 200'ish NEW MBTs per year, most of which are T-90M and T-72B3. Meanwhile, they are losing 150-250 MBTs per month. The remainder of their "production" comes from them pillaging their Soviet stockpile, which is disappearing quickly, to refurbish tanks for combat...
PrSM has extended range, lethality (payload and accuracy), travels on a harder path to intercept, etc.
Lockheed Martin will continue a full production line of the most modern M57 ATACM variant for export customers. Numerous allies in Europe, Australia and the Middle East want the long range...
As I alluded to last night, USA 🇺🇸 is now leaning towards sending longer range ATACMS to Ukraine. If they don't receive money from Congress to send their own soon, they'll ask allies (Germany, Romania, Poland) to send theirs and the USA will backfill what they send.
So why now, after stalling...
When USA 🇺🇸 eventually passes their new funding for Ukraine, there will be approximately $33 Billion usd in Presidential Drawdown Authority and USAI for Ukraine available. Here is a sneak peak of what items USA can send in the immediacy to make a difference and replenish Ukraine's Brigade combat...

Throughout the war in Ukraine, France 🇫🇷 has supplied a variety of military hardware, however, they've rarely disclosed quantities in real time... Until now. Paris has released a full list of items that they have donated to Ukraine, or have committed to donate to Ukraine.
1x SAMP-T air defense...
For the last time... The West doesn't care about arbitrary freedom.
We care about our own selfish interests, as does everyone else in the world. We're simply getting an exceptional price to neuter the Russian army for a generation, expand NATO on Russia's border and piss Putin off to no end...
This morning the Ukrainian 🇺🇦 Air Force claims to gave shot down 3 Russian military aircraft, including 2 Su-34 fighter / bombers and a Su-35s strike aircraft. Ukraine has released audio of Russian communications referencing 4 ejections and they claim to have tracked the ejections and have...
