I wonder where a certain uranium deal fits into this equation.

It's quite humorous when minions of the U.S. intervention/war mafia state try and paint someone else as a Hitler or a Stalin.

The U.S. has used the power of sanctions, embargoes and U.S. dollar hegemony to harm other countries.   Not to mention using U.S. military power either directly or via a proxy which has sent other nations into the throes of chaos and civil war.   In several cases they have lasted decades.   Countries were decimated and those conflicts brought in other foreign powers which has destabilized entire regions.   Wrecking economies, infrastructure and food production while displacing millions of people, and killing millions more. 

The Chinese (for example) learned their lesson in Vietnam in the late 1970's.   An overall military failure which some argue brought about the beginnings of the transformation of China to a semi-market based economy and the modernization of the Chinese military.    In turn the Chinese now use economic stimilius and growth to woo and sway other nations, and now use the threat of modern Chinese military power to hold sway over regional concerns . . . while using economic influence rather than sanctions and war to propagate Belt and Road in far off lands.

So many words and so few complete and ineligible sentences. Translated - I've got nothing, I'm not capable of responding to this 

We know.  I do agree that my eligibility ran out a long time ago, tho.

Nose in spite of face alert.

Gazprom cuts gas flows to Europe, cites Canada holding vital turbine repair items because of sanctions.

Natural gas prices in Europe soar.

But, feeling like we're giving Putin the ol what for here, so that's what matters, the feelings (insert Ukrainian flag here).

Better than a coinflip that all of the russian arms flowing into ukraine end up elsewhere.

You mean the arms shipped in (and then back out) by the DOD's non standard weapons acquisition and logistics command?   You know the one's that hire airlines and cargo companies from far off lands to fly their weapons to other far off lands.

I do agree if that's what you're saying.

no.  those left in ukraine by russians when they leave/die.  There are ukrainian civilians with russian arms and I bet those will not be passed down the family tree.  They will be sold on blackmarket (like the russian soldiers do themselves already) to very dangerous groups.  We will be seeing russian weapons used in all sorts of nasty ways.  Nastier even than to invade a sovereign nation and kill children like they were intended

That may very well be the case, dug.  But unfortunately your guy Joe choose the path of war instead of being serious at the negotiating table.  This is why #neocons hated Zelensky who wanted to negotiate with Russia, so via proxy the #neocons threatened Zelensky' life, and also why the #neocons offered straight out to remove Zelensky from the country at the start of the war.  They didn't want him then, and they don't want him now. 

But with that said, Ukraine's military is super corrupt and they've been selling arms on the black market for years now (probably not as many as the United States, but the point remains)

Russian soldiers sell most of their weapons for booze which concerns me that Bundy may get some ideas about starting another 'do ranch using a T71

i know that there was a recent quote out of ukraine saying they tend to prefer just using commercial drones with improvised munitions, but kinda wild how there seems to have been pretty much no reported use of the switchblade 300s

Good thread about Switchblades. The warhead for the 300 is the equivalent of a hand grenade so it isn't useful against armored vehicles or fortifications. Seems like it would be best for a strike against a VIP or unarmored vehicle. The Switchblade 600 is supposed to have the same warhead as a Javelin. If true, they may not be releasing information about if and where these are in use.
