both of these wonderful people ( because Youtube gave me a warning for calling Freeland names) - say Ukraine
must win - even if Ukrainians are all dead. as long as it takes, Vonder Lying, Baerbok, Joly, Macron and all other war pigs
say "We Must Win" for Larry Fink.

Trump says "I don't think in terms of winning and losing but getting it settled to stop killing all these people.

So tell me, Castanet - who is the human? And don't say Freeland and Hillary.

During the recent Donald Trump Town Hall on CNN, moderator Kaitlan Collins pressed the former President on whether he would like to see Ukraine victorious in the war against Russia. Trump refused to answer, instead insisting that he would just like to see the killing end, and his focus wasn’t on who wins or loses.

Trump: I would threaten Russia with nuclear submarines if still president
‘We’re a greater nuclear power,’ former president who previously praised Putin as ‘smart’ tells Fox Business

“We say, ‘Oh, he’s a nuclear power,’” Trump said. “But we’re a greater nuclear power. We have the greatest submarines in the world, the most powerful machines ever built …

“You should say, ‘Look, if you mention that word one more time, we’re going to send them over and we’ll be coasting back and forth, up and down your coast. You can’t let this tragedy continue. You can’t let these, these thousands of people die.”

During the Trump administration... Iran nuclear deal - boom gone. Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty and Open Skies Treaty - over in a flash. New START Treaty - dead, kaput - not even enough of it to put a fork in.
The Biden administration is considering killing off several nuclear weapons programs that were greenlit by the Trump White House as an internal debate over the nation’s atomic arsenal enters its final phase.

According to nine current and former officials with knowledge of the deliberations, the Nuclear Posture Review, which is expected to be completed as early as next month, is not expected to make major changes to nuclear policy. Nor is it likely to recommend deep cuts to multibillion-dollar plans to build new intercontinental ballistic missiles, nuclear-armed submarines and stealth bombers, they said.

Trump Administration's Nuclear Posture Review...
To help preserve deterrence and the assurance of allies and partners, the United States has
never adopted a “no first use” policy and, given the contemporary threat environment, such
a policy is not justified today. It remains the policy of the United States to retain some
ambiguity regarding the precise circumstances that might lead to a U.S. nuclear response

Tough day for the Russians. One Su-34 Bomber, one Su35 fighter and two Mi-8 helicopters all gone in one day. It's good to see Russian Air Defense working and getting some practice in. As if that's not bad enough, a factory that produces parts for the much coveted Lada is on fire.

Another Russian rocket successfully intercepted by putting an ammo depot in front of it.

Actually a very devious ambush on the Ukrainians part to knock out that air group.

Big bright and shiny. Made lots of noise and the pressure wave was impressive.

Pretty far removed from the actual war and probably did Ukraine a huge favour. The cost of cleaning up those old Soviet munitions and rocket fuel storage facilities is huge. You think that blast was big, wait till you see Cobasna in Moldova go up. That'll happen, but not necessarily due to this conflict.

Some context for you. Khemelinytskyi isn't anywhere near the conflict zone.

Russia hit the same facility last week and it left a mark. I'm too lazy to dig up a satellite image for you, but I know Sentinel 2 showed a huge hole in a few of these bunkers.

In the grand scheme of things no big deal. It was old hazmat and needed to be gone anyways. Germany just announced a 3 billion (USD) package and the Swiss just changed laws so that they can allow export to Ukraine.

Be honest with you. It didn't have anywhere near the impact Kalush Orchestra did at Eurovision 2023 a few hours ago.

Regardless of who "wins" an election, they always are up against a Silent Elite. Do you believe the extreme poor who voted for Trump ever thought their non-profit support would be slashed right out from under them?

Of course not. While Big Z tours Europe and begs anybody and their mum for ammunition, and then a huge load of it gets blown up ... it's not big deal, they didn't really need that missile brigade. Thanks Russia! :biggrin:

More Russian favors, another missile got intercepted by an ammo depot. They didn't need that one either.

I've got good news for you. Turns out it was the Ferroni-Togliatti plant, a steel door manufacturing factory. Doors... over-rated anyways.

You know the Tochka has a maximum firing range of 70 to 120 kms and the Brigade has been in the fight, ruining Russian days in and around Donbas since 2014, I assume. Their base coordinates: 49°24'20"N 26°59'3"E - doesn't look like they've been there for a while. (like, since 2014)

So you're saying they hit another ammo depot? Wow, big if true. 3 more today, and they'll have hit as many targets as their air defense did. *wink*

Snip :Zelenskyy said: “We don't attack Russian territory, we liberate our own legitimate territory.”

“We have neither the time nor the strength (to attack Russia),” he said, according to an official interpreter. “And we also don't have weapons to spare, with which we could do this.”

“We are preparing a counterattack for the illegally occupied areas based on our constitutionally defined legitimate borders, which are recognized internationally,” Zelenskyy said.

The Ukrainian president is visiting allies in search of further arms to help his country fend off the Russian invasion, and funds to rebuild what's been destroyed by more than a year of devastating conflict.

Oh well, so Ternopil turned out to be a garden variety warehouse and not an ammo dump... Khmelnitsky was likely Hrechany. Hrechany is all declassified, you can look it up. Bottom line is it saves NATO millions by getting rid of the dump that we were otherwise funding to get rid of.

So, to wrap things up no ammo dumps in exchange for 9 Russian flight crew, a bomber, a fighter and 2 helicopters

Huh, yeah. I suppose there is that... Ukraine is losing way more vehicles than Russia in and around Bakhmut. Not sure that's quite the victory you think it is, but... there is that. Today I learned that Ти дурний and Ти дурна mean basically the same thing. I'd probably use Ти дурний more often. It's masculine.

Khmelnytskyi is confirmed. There are new planet labs images out. I'm not spending money to convince people, that believe US Colonel Sanders was killed two weeks ago by a missile strike on a secret NATO command bunker next to an underground joint US/Ukrainian biolab - of anything. (I'll eventually link a freebee when I come across one.)

The missile hit was here, Hrechany, not the 19th Missile Brigade Garrison.

There's big damage. Last week it was the same thing only in Pavlograd. The Russians are hitting the old ammo dumps for the shock and awe effect. Bottom line is, it was all garbage that was costing NATO money to dispose of anyway.

Uhhh... you know ammo dumps don't need to be near the front right? And lemme get this straight... Ukraine has been screaming for ammo but for some reason sitting on a bunch of old ammo that is hazmat, but now... meh, you know what, its not worth it [icon_lol2.gif]

What's next? Ukraine didn't need that bridge? Face it, the Russians are dissecting them like a bug on a tray.
