After extensive training, Swedish 🇸🇪 Archer 155mm artillery systems are now deployed with the Ukrainian military. The initial batch of 8 Archer self-propelled howitzers that were donated are being operated by the very experienced 45th artillery brigade in the Luhansk region. The brigade also...

New USA 🇺🇸 $425 million defense package for Ukraine, consisting of $125 million usd worth of Presidential Drawdown Authority and $300 million usd worth of USAI funding. The package consists of the following... - AIM-9 Missiles for NASAMS - GMLRS / ATACMs for HIMARS - 155mm artillery rounds -...

I genuinely find it comical that journalists from across the world enter war zones with the arrogance and assumption that they'll be safe. As if their "press" body armor is going to deter a combatant from an air / artillery strike. You see it in conflicts from every region. Journalists and their...

Call it what you may, but props to those individuals for their bravery. Nobody can call those cats cowardly. Walking up to place an explosive on a tank is some "not for the faint of heart" type of stuff. Kudos.

From a strategy perspective I think the worst thing for the Arabs in the region would be for terrorist / militant groups to start targeting the Saudis along with the Israelis and give the two nations further reason (in cooperation with USA) to work amicably together. A Saudi-Israeli alliance...

France 🇫🇷 has reportedly delivered 40 additional AMX-10RC light tanks to Ukraine. In the winter months they delivered an initial batch of 14 of the vehicles. According to reports, the most recent shipment brings the total number donated to Ukraine to 54...

Would love to. Any hard working, motivated people, on either side of the conflict, that want to come here and work hard, add to our tax base and be quality citizens, I'd be completely open to!

So many of the people of Gaza are under the age of 18 and still in relatively good health. They could be excellent additions to the social fabric / tax base of safer, more prosperous countries that have plenty of room for them. I'll repeat what I've said previously. I'd gladly take ten's of...

There is absolutely no evidence that the thousands of Gazans that the Gaza health ministry (controlled by Hamas) claim to have been killed is actually the case. Certainly the numbers are higher than anyone wants to see among civilians, but the numbers are almost certainly exaggerated in...

More sensationalist nonsense. There is nothing that meets the definition of genocide happening in Gaza. The Palestinian population is exploding (no pun intended) and growing at an enormous rate, well above that of the global average. With how densely populated Gaza is and how much air and...

Don't be so sure of that. There are plenty of international community members, including those in the West, that are pushing Israel to not embark on a ground invasion. There's a lot of that rhetoric coming from behind the scenes. It's not really a winnable war for Israel. Even if they do manage...

How wild would it be to just fire up the turbofans and start ingesting some Dagestanis lol? Crazy buggers!

I've been saying it for as long as anyone has listened. WE ARE NOT THE GOOD GUYS. This is not a story about good and evil. This is a story about conflicting ideas, from seperate tribes, battling for power in the world we live in. It's a story as old as humanity itself. There are different...

USA will provide a separate aid package to Ukraine. Biden wanted Congress to pass a bill for more than $100 Billion usd, which would have included $14.8 Billion usd for Israel, $61 Billion usd for Ukraine, and money for the U.S. southern border and disaster relief. Instead, Congress wants to do...

USA is producing roughly 60 "Frankensam" systems for Ukraine, combining existing BUK air defense systems with U.S. Sea Sparrow missiles and an unknown air defense system with AIM-9 Sidewinder missiles. A few are in use, but according to the NYT, roughly 60 of the "Frankensam" units will be...

Of course they do! They've been preparing for this war with Israel for two years per reports. They've not only stolen / re-purposed a huge chunk of aid that the West has sent Palestine, they've also received weapon's funding and training from Iran. They're not going to simply lay down and die...

The frustrating thing for the Palestinian people is that all forms of aid will have to go through both Israel and Hamas, which means a lot of things will not be permitted to enter Gaza by the IDF, and many of those things that will be allowed to enter will be stolen by Hamas. As is the case so...

What a hilariously bad post. The EU has provided Ukraine with well over 1 million shells in both NATO and Soviet standard calibers, dating back to the onset of the conflict. The 1 million shells promise from the EU came in late February 2023. The shells were to be delivered over the course of 1...

Ukrainians are choosing to fight for their existence as a nation. That's something easily worth funding, especially given how relatively little it's costing us (the West) to keep them in the fight.

Lol why? The USA still has more than $5 Billion left in Presidential Drawdown Authority and Federal grant authority to provide Ukraine plenty of weaponry throughout the remainder of 2023. They just chose a new Speaker of House and Congress is now negotiating the terms of a new, $61 Billion usd...
