According to the telegraph, Washington is cutting off military aid to Kyiv, forcing Ukraine to look for new sources of support. Now Kyiv has three options: count on European help, buy weapons from the US with European funds, or develop its own production with Western funding.

This was an entirely predictable and predicted result of the pathetically weak responses to russia's many escalatory aggressions in its "backyard", the latest and most damaging of course being the full scale invasion of Ukraine on February 24 of 2022. If there's no price to be paid, why not act?

I find these juxtapositions silly regardless of this administration. The most dangerous, effective men walk like free men. Having an all-volunteer, highly professional military is better than having a bunch of serfs. Our Army is fantastic, politics be damned. Throw tomatoes at me all you like.

OTD in 1940 USSR occupied Lithuania to prevent them forming “anti-soviet government”. This was followed by “Elections” that were “won” by pro-USSR party who “voted to join USSR”. Imagine doing that in today’s day and age…

How incredible is it that while Iran is getting bombed, the U.S president sits around posting on social media about how well diplomacy is going? Just what the hell is going on over there? Are people not telling him what's going on? Or is he just that senile already?

To be fair, building infrastructure in Mediterranean countries can be extremely difficult. Just ask a Roman about their subway system. They only have 2 lines and an incomplete one. Because every time they start digging, they stumble into another ancient site and have to stop for the archaeologists.
