War with Russia

[Pblakeney]

Whoa, steady there, Eeyore!

I’m a lot more positive than my posts would indicate.
On the other hand, we are swamped by everything going pear shaped.
My philosophy? Hope for the best but prepare for the worst.

Some more throwing sand into the enemies eyes, this time Ukraine special forces destroying a S400 missile system, similar to the US patriot.
Depending upon exactly what was destroyed, that is between $200m and $500m down the tubes

An update - My initial optimism has faded.
I always say - judge a man by what he does, not what he says. All talk so far, time will tell.
Normal service has been resumed. 😉

I’ll go further now.
“With financial help from Europe and in particular NATO…”
He wants to sell US weapons. He is a salesman, all about the money.

@Pinno718 eyes on the Kerch Bridge?
The largest one with a claimed payload of 5000kg!

It would be one heck of a strategic and psychological blow to 'Tin.
The thing is, if this damn conflict ends, someone is going to have to pay to rebuild it.

Notice how the Ukrainians seem to be developing new military hardware? I'm not sure the Russians are keeping up.

Did we mention this?
Extra boom:

And this is maybe one reason why vaguely sane politicians haven't given up flattering Trump.

I don't think he wrote that post. It's too coherent.

I'm serous All Uphill/BT. It's a known fact that some of his posts are written for him.

I think that's quite possible, and if so, possibly a better indication of where even the evil grown-ups behind Trump want this thing to go.

Zelensky must have really worked it yesterday.

Trouble is Putin also knows how to pull his strings.

 

[Pinno718]

Trouble is, Trump is all hot air and no action.

And that's why, despite the ridiculousness of flattering such a deranged & flawed old man might make most of us despair, world leaders have kept up the façade of pretending he's not a deranged and flawed old man, as Putin will know how to work him just as much as they do. Realpolitik rather than idealism wins.

I agree. It's not his voice.

He seems to have some kind of split personality. I’ve never known a person so publicly say different things from one day to the next.

Meh. I'm waiting on the actions.
