    A reminder of how malleable the MAGA brainwashed masses are, when someone is declared an enemy of the state, the docile beta army responds

    Since Trump/Musk decided *unilaterally* - to the suggestion of no one, other than @glynch & the rest of the gimp squad - to join the Axis of Evil and become Putin's b**** and lose the Cold War, despite Russia literally being on the ropes in Ukraine.

    US companies are getting *smoked* across the globe

    Sweden boycotts all US brands

    The end of the American era, end of the superpower era, get ready to have second class status around the world dipshit MAGA morons /Republicans

    Not a day goes by when you all shouldn't **** off - you all did this - you can't hide @basso or all the rest who pretend like you didn't willfully do this - you did.

    what did I do by voting libertarian the last three elections?

    but, real talk Sam: what does victory in Ukraine mean to you, at this juncture of the war?

    Do you believe Ukraine, no matter how well equipped, has the manpower to eject the Russians from the Donbas and Crimea?

    That's not a serious offer.

    Starlink is legit, though the US government has been footing the bill for it for a long time now.

    All his non serious bs is to appease a hillbilly redneck or red pill adjacent cult base.

    If he angers them with truths his silicon valley multibillionaire buddies say privately (Viveks off-the-rez tweets about H1B), then he pulls off whoops-I-M-assburger bullshit like the Nazi salute with zero ****s given to pull them back into his tribe

    Yeah you neville chamberlin ass b****, I do.

    Anyway, do you believe that Russia and it's north korean slave soldiers are going to have lunch in Kiev in 3 days, anytime soon?

    Let's be real - Russia was on the ropes and getting ****ed up big time until Republicans (lol, excuse me, Libertarians like you) and Trump and went Ribbentrop pact with his boss Putin (remember when you jackwads used to run interference for him about the "russia hoax" ? Doing your part!)

    First you and your boys slowed the assistance, then they shut it off - now they are openly assisting Russia

    **** that man, and **** you for being a part of it. Putin piss babies are the worst.

    No individual has done more to help Ukraine than Musk. Starlink has been the backbone of the army and the UAVS that have done 70% of the damage. Starlink has taken on over a billion dollars of loss as no one stepped up to subsidize this other than Poland, who contribute $50 mil a year.

    On the other hand we have a keyboard warrior acting hard who has not, and never will , do anything to help Ukraine. It's time to get off your kaboose and enlist !! Spamming sports forums has never contributed to winning wars.

    Drones Now Rule the Battlefield in the Ukraine-Russia War - The New York Times

    Today, drones do most of the killing, commanders say.

    They now cause about 70 percent of deaths and injuries, commanders say.

    Drones, not the big, heavy artillery that the war was once known for, inflict about 70 percent of all Russian and Ukrainian casualties, said Roman Kostenko, the chairman of the defense and intelligence committee in Ukraine’s Parliament. In some battles, they cause even more — up to 80 percent of deaths and injuries, commanders say.

    When President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia sent troops storming into Ukraine three years ago, setting off the biggest ground war in Europe since World War II, the West rushed billions of dollars in conventional weapons into Ukraine, hoping to keep Russia at bay.

    The insatiable battlefield demands nearly emptied NATO nations’ stockpiles.

    The war has killed and wounded more than a million soldiers in all, according to Ukrainian and Western estimates. But drones now kill more soldiers and destroy more armored vehicles in Ukraine than all traditional weapons of war combined, including sniper rifles, tanks, howitzers and mortars, Ukrainian commanders and officials say.

    Until recently, the clanging, metallic explosions from incoming artillery, ringing out around the clock, epitomized the war. Ukrainian soldiers raced at high speed in armored personnel carriers or pickup trucks, screeching to a stop and spilling out to run for cover in bunkers.

    The artillery gave soldiers a sense of impersonal danger — the dread that you could die any moment from the bad luck of a direct hit.

    Speeding cars or trucks no longer provide protection from faster-flying drones. Soldiers hike for miles, ducking into cover, through drone-infested territory too dangerous for jeeps, armored personnel carriers or tanks. Soldiers say it has become strangely personal, as buzzing robots hunt specific cars or even individual soldiers.

    It is, they say, a feeling of a thousand snipers in the sky.

    “You can hide from artillery,” said Bohdan, a deputy commander with the National Police Brigade. But drones, he said, “are a different kind of nightmare.”
