I won’t stand for people talking like this about Subway.

Just discovered their app last week. Was able to order my delicious sandwich, pay with Apple Pay and then walk into the store and grab the sandwich.

The Ukrainians were trying to shoot down drones with assault rifles firing out of windows of buildings. 

It’s a black hole of money, supplies and weapons.

The governor of their central bank just got busted for embezzlement.

Yes all the evidence in this thread certainly points to the Ukrainians lacking strategy and execution and definitely not the Russians.

why are they trying to shoot down drones attacking their cities when they should be selling that ammo on the black market

I am sure you can protect your children from being kamikaze droned and also sell ammo on the black market.

It is possible to focus on more than one priority at a time. Caring about one thing doesn't mean that you can't care about another thing at the same time.

Certainly still possible that the Russians did it and they don’t want to reveal how vulnerable other targets in, but I think this now makes it more likely than not it was the US or another Ukraine western ally.

I don't think the article sheds light either way. You are a conundrum, KK, but I'm still down for poker invites.

Sadly #neocongE has only seen the US fight against rag tag militias and militaries suffering under years of economic sanctions.

#neocongE has never seen the US military face tens of billions of dollars of modern weapons backed by first world consultants and first world intelligence apparatus. 

The Russians are still advancing in some parts of Ukraine, they’re killing Ukrainian soldiers  by the truckload and their wrecking millions of dollars worth of Ukrainian weapons every day.

That’s why Ukraine is asking for billions more and having to send another 15-20,000 more soldiers off to be trained in NATO countries.

It’s a black hole

It's just not fair that America rules and has superior weaponry and tactics to the failed Russian state  :frown:

Do you think Russia and Iran being BFF's will improve Russia's prospects?  Hard to believe Iran is so superior to Russia, but here we are.

Deflectocon(s)gE . . . right on cue.

The U.S. buys weapons systems from foreign countries and companies all the time.

The likely replacement for the Bradley Fighting Vehicle will be built by . . . The Germans.

The gun for the Abrams built by . . . The Germans (happy to take our money, happy to live under the soft warm blanket of U.S. military power, and apparently happy to allow Joe Biden to crap all over them)

i've seen people derive the exact opposite hypothesis from this same information.

yeah.

missile guys seem to think the iranian missiles are quite good, and the drones are having an impact.

Sadly absolute derps like #Deflectobot.7 don’t understand that the Russians are more than happy to take defensive positions and allow the Ukrainians to flail away and get slaughtered in the process.

Thus driving the need for billions of dollars of additional weapons and sending thousands more off to train in Germany (because Ukraine possesses no safe haven to train new troops in country ).

Yeah I don’t have a strong opinion on it. My priors are— if Russia did it there would be a strong interest for NATO et al to make a big deal of it, talk about it, show evidence of it and the fact they aren’t should raise questions as to why. I think not wanting Russia to start attacking more soft targets and not wanting to escalate/expand the theatre is a really good reason why, but that hasn’t really been the way they have handled other similar questions so again I think it is more likely that they did this to commit Europe to not turning back on Ukraine and turning the gas from Russia back on.

All inferences in the absence of information.

Yes, it's all falling into place just how mother Russia envisioned.

One thing that is falling into place is that your guy Joe is leaving daily triple deckers on our European allies.
