    I don’t care if the Pentagon leaker is racist, don’t care if he supports Trump. I care that he is a traitor and compromised his country and soldiers.

    He is a traitor and should be treated as one. I would be fine with the death penalty or life in prison.

    We are too light on these people often times.

    Damn the death penalty? I'm all for a harsh sentence but I don't know about that one.

    These werent super-duper compartmentalized SCI documents like Trump's treasure trove. They are daily briefing reports that are designed to be widely distributed and read by as as many military officers as possible that have clearence.

    It is treason and treason is a very serious crime.

    So South Korea will "loan" us 500,000 shells, we will send 500,000 of our own to Ukraine and the tweet he posted was a completely lie. Somehow I'm not surprised...:rolleyes:

    At this point, 4-14-2023, who is winning this war?

    Russia or Ukraine/USA/Nato

    Russia. They are still odds favorite to end up with more land than they started with.

    But

    The Russians are on track to have 100,000s of killed/wounded soldiers and to have their military equipment/assets greatly reduced. Their generals still have a chance to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

    Once the US Tanks and eventually airpower get there, and we have given the UKraine enough to ACTUALLY fend off Russia then they can negotiate an end to the war, but we can't leave until the playing field is tipped in Ukraine's favor....

    ⚡️⚡️Russian tanks in the USA, but there is one caveat

    T-90A was captured on September 25 last year in Kurilovka, Kupyansky district, Kharkov region.

    The tank was spotted in Louisiana. Why he was brought there is unclear at the moment.

    It's hard to see any winners in this war. Even if Ukraine kicks Russia out tomorrow, and is brought into the EU and NATO, there's just no way to rebuild their country to what it was before anytime soon, and replace all the lives lost. It's likely that there will still always be some danger out in the east as well, and Russia could always come right back in a couple years. Obviously treaties mean nothing to them, and lying is engrained in their culture.

    Russia even if they do end up with a peace settlement that gets them some land out east including Crimea, is likely to have major problems both foreign and domestic moving forward. Invading Ukraine was in big part a way of Putin putting off the inevitable. Putin is going to either have to go full blown North Korea totalitarianism which will make them a bigger pariah moving forward, or there's likely to be a civil war between the factions vying for power.

    Either way, even with a sliver of useless land, Russia will not be solving any of their geopolitical problems. A land bridge to Crimea is useless if there's nothing worth while going in or out of Russia's economy now that Europe has figured out who else can sell them natural gas.

    The only "winners" here are Raytheon, Lockheed, Boeing, etc.
