    Ukrainian law allows firearm ownership on may-issue basis. With approximately 10 civilian firearms per 100 people, Ukraine is the 88th most armed country in the world per capita, and 22nd overall.

    You are correct in that I did not word it correctly but the link I provided has a breakdown of US deaths. The link I quoted shows 4300 personnel loses so I do not know if that is deaths or not.

    Trump and Grenell were 100 % right about this.

    Ric Grenell is a very smart and courageous man. Germany owes him an apology.

    If Russia starts using those fire bombs that kill massive amounts of civilians can NATO do anything BUT intervene?

    LOL - wrong. It is a simpistic view, Trump took the sanctions that we put on them for Crimea off first. Grenell is a pure TRUMP fanboy, who is looking to get a job back if Trump gets back in there, he won't.

    And yes, Germany tried to avoid conflict, left over guilt from WW2.

    But that guy was ******** his pants.

    And Putin doesn't look healthy to me at all. That disgusting murderer will have his place in hell.

    And history will not look kindly upon him.

    Liberals believe in the right to bear arms, especially in situations like this.

    You were ignorant on the issue, you tried to take a victory lap and face planted.

    Its alright, it happens, just dust it off, learn from your mistakes and evolve.

    Doubling down on stupid isn't going to get you anywhere.

    Former Soviet countries now in the EU still have some MIGs. It would take months to train them up on F15s

    So says the person who spends all day every day posting on a message board about woke liberals. You have serious, serious mental health issues.

    This is a strike at night on a Russian armored column from a Turkish UCAV (Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicle), one of several provided by Turkey to Ukraine during the past year or so. Ironic, considering the trouble Erdogan has been for NATO, Greece in particular (but far from only Greece) in the Eastern Med, but unsurprising when you think about it.

    Turkey has a history going back hundreds of years of conflict with Russia. Russia has always wanted the Dardanelles and it's shipping/naval access to the Mediterranean and the world beyond. Constantinople/ Istanbul is also the religious heart of the Russian Orthodox Church, where the head of their church (Russian Orthodox being one of several branches of the Orthodox Church) resides, who's yet another influential personage siding with Ukraine. Putin has to be furious with Erdogan. The b*stard has a very long list of things to be furious about right with about now.

    If Russia is now using those weapons that spray gas and ignite the air and suck all the oxygen out of it, killing all those on the ground, that is a huge human rights violation and probably would get NATO involved.

    Thermobaric is what they are called - let's hope this is not one.
