I'm going with that being an older video maybe August 2021. Those are in WRM storage (tire and equipment covers) and the place ain't totally trashed.

I was envisioning a Reaper (or two) patrolling international waters with a Reaper (or two) flying CAP in case Ivan the hot shot Russkie pilot shows up in his ****** old-fashioned Su-27 and decides to **** around with an unarmed drone. Just sayin'.

Seems like a self destruct proximity switch on the drone when a large object (Su-27)? gets within a few meters would create quite a surprise.

Plus, plausible deniability. I like it!

Lech,Krakus,Popiel...and a few centuries of others, all the way to Augustus would probably argue he was clueless. History is not just since 1990.

Well. If there's a cease fire that means they stop shootin'. If they stop shootin' how will the military industrial complex gonna buy shoes?

Well, we can start with status quo ante bellum and go from there. I'm going to go ahead and use what has become a bad word, but the next step would be Putie and pals paying reparations to rebuild Ukraine. Oh, and to fully pay the Big Red Fund.

Ukraine says Russian missiles destroyed in Crimea

If confirmed as a Ukrainian attack, it would be a rare foray into the occupied region.

Russian and UAE diplomacy this time(Iran and Saudi was China).

LGBT,CRT,and ESG are likely more of a reason(given many current US diplomats support all three), than just about anything else. None of those are very accepted in the Middle east.

So we needed a change. So who did the US send on the 16th? Michael Ratney,straight from his post in Israel is now our Saudi ambassador. I am sure that is going over well to. He was after all there for a year under Bush. Given we have not had an official ambassador there since 2021 though....hey,it is an improvement!

so black mail. "You take this deal or we beat you into submission!" whether the deal is good or not, that is not how you enter peace negotiations with a country being invaded.

Interesting article. Yes, it is New Yorker magazine, but the article is an interview with a historian who works at the Hoover Institution. There is a pay-wall if you have read too many free articles, but I was able to read it.

I don't think he really comes to a genuine answer to the question, but it is at least a discussion of the questions that need to be asked.

How the War in Ukraine Ends

An eminent historian envisions a settlement among Russia, Ukraine, and the West.

Fairly certain that tweet account just made that up. I see nothing anywhere that anyone stated China would arm Russia and certainly do not see anything officially anounced.
