The two biggest protectionist events in the world after World War II were: 1. Brexit. 2. Trump's second term. Don't call anybody who voted for either a libertarian or liberal! Fascist or at least protectionist appears more appropriate.

After politely rebuffing Trump’s rude pressure to surrender, Ukraine, the supposed American proxy, is pulling off one daring military operation after another and the US govt is as surprised as the Russians. Some proxy 😂 Zelensky is the anti-imperialist leader of the century. Pass it on.

No lies detected. Furthermore, watch the burn rate in armour. Russia is losing tanks far quicker than they can be replaced and are scraping the bottom of the barrel of the fabled storage yards. Losses like this cannot be sustained, even with foreign help.

On top of strategic bombers and transport planes, Ukraine might have destroyed the last operational A-50 AEW aircraft russia had left This might be even bigger loss than bombers, russia no longer has "eyes on the sky"

There are slight variations depending on upgrades/repairs but the lineup this morning was Tu-22M 60x Tu-95 60x Tu-142 22x Tu-160 16x We have visual destruction of 8. We haven't seen any close up video from 3 bases. So 20-30 is very realistic. 40-50 would be optimistic but feasible

Since 1991, Russia hasn’t built new Tu-95 or Tu-22M3 bombers. A few were finished in the early 1990s, because production began in the Soviet era. Russia’s operational fleet of Tu-160, Tu-95MS, and Tu-22M3 totals around 70 - 90 aircraft. Losing even 10 would be a serious blow.
