He might be more of a "useful idiot," which makes me so sad that his jejune ideological googles have blinded him to justice and the truth. I blame YouTube. It's a theory I'm working on here.Always interested to see which of our more entertaining posters goes silent for a while.
I tend to doubt the useful idiot angle if for no other reason than he will NEVER criticize Russia or Putin on any topic, no matter how small, even when it would make him more credible.He might be more of a "useful idiot," which makes me so sad that his jejune ideological googles have blinded him to justice and the truth.

Hungary's Viktor Orban meets with Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago - UPI.com
Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orban visited former U.S. President Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago on Thursday, proclaiming afterward that he can bring an end to Russia's invasion of Ukraine.www.upi.com

Yea but MAGA will probably spin it as violating the Russians freedom of speachThis is really bad news for Trump and the GOP. It's like one of their arms are being cut off from one of their favorite sources of disinformation to use against Biden and the Democrats.
Small wonder Trump and his stooges hate our intelligence and security services so much. That being said, you've got to wonder what other interesting tidbits of information our intelligence services must have in Trump's dossier.

Give new meaning to the phrase, "Whack a mole."I wonder if it will even make a dent. The disinfo bots are legion.
So is this a situation where Putin will run out of hardware well before his mobiki runs out while the AFU will run out of conscripts well before they run out of hardware supplied by NATO and friends?
The kill ratio seems to be the deciding factor here isn't it? Yeah it sounds cold to lay it out that way, but.......
Nah that has always been the calculus. It varies depending on analyst but Ukraine needs to win 1:3 to 1:5 .. I think lately its been 1:8?So is this a situation where Putin will run out of hardware well before his mobiki runs out while the AFU will run out of conscripts well before they run out of hardware supplied by NATO and friends?

Got a feeling the PJDAM is finally going to have its moment.
These would be a very attractive option for any allied country looking to build long range magazine depth at relatively low cost.
Zelenskyy said recently it was 1:6. I suspect the glide bombs are mildly effective.I think lately its been 1:8?
