This is absolutely incorrect. Congress is the only reason we still have the A10. If it was up to the USAF that plane would have been gone 10 years ago.

Yup, an out of touch CSAF thought it best to rid themselves of their primary CAS aircraft when the primary role of the USAF at the time (i.e. Iraq and Afghanistan wars) was providing CAS to Army soldiers and Marines fighting and dying in both wars.

Israeli attacked military infrastructure across Iran. Looks like Ukraine won't see Mohajer drones for a bit. Israel uses Russian S-300 and S-400 air defense systems that didn't protect them from the most recent attacks of Iranian drones. Meanwhile, russians and iranians are cooperating in military industry, especially attack drones and missiles. Patriots might be in even bigger demand.

Is this recent? I hadn't seen any news about any recent Israeli attacks in Iran?

Indeed, where is that news coming from? Low information red hatter friends are in a panic about ww3 starting like usual. Best I can find is 3 drones shot down, no one claimed them. Reported by IRNA - Iranian government news, same on BBC et al.

And Robik has some sort of typo. Israel doesn't operate S-400, eh? Same for S-300. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S-400_missile_system

At campaign events & online the former president is directly parroting the Kremlin on Ukraine.

My bad on S-300 and S-400, just misread it on one TG channel.

Aye. I couldn't tell if you meant Iran or Ukraine, or who. Not sure either of them has S-400, Ukraine has S-300. Iran may too.

The various social media takes continue to distort it in their preferred directions.

Ukraine ranks 116 out of 180 countries on the annual Corruption Perceptions Index released Tuesday by Transparency International, up one ranking from last year.

Hindsight is 20/20

But considering the aggression started in 2014, a lot of time was wasted, not preparing more. I’m sure it’s a mix of mistakes, lack of aid and will on NATO’s part, and yes, Ukraines problems too.

None of the above addresses the underlying cause: the barbaric Russian Federation. It might have once seemed easy to leave and head west, but the story of Ukraine over the past ten years is an existential struggle to escape a horrible past; like a nightmare or a horror movie, history pulls you back just at the moment when you were starting to feel free.

We are witnessing the last throes of the ageing ­Russian empire and Ukraine’s final affirmation as a sovereign nation. Most Americans recognize a fight for freedom when they see it.

Seems like with 8+ years of knowing they were going to invade Ukraine...the Russians might have made a better job of it.

And Russia is even worse at 137! What’s your point? The US is the most corrupt NATO member. Is there significance to that?

He didn't bother reading his own source. He's just reposting from his cesspool media diet. If he was even slightly informed about his source, he'd know Transparency International directly blames Russian and Russian aligned kleptocrats for undermining democracy in Ukraine:

"Years of inaction against corruption have allowed kleptocrats to take control, undermined democratic processes, restricted civic space and weakened public institutions – fuelling violence, conflict and instability in Eastern Europe and Central Asia.

The Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 was a stark reminder of the threat that corruption and the absence of government accountability pose for global peace and security: kleptocrats in Russia (28) have amassed great fortunes by pledging loyalty to President Vladimir Putin in exchange for profitable government contracts and protection of their economic interests. The absence of any checks on Putin’s power allowed him to pursue his geopolitical ambitions with impunity. This attack destabilised the European continent, threatening democracy and has killed tens of thousands. "

I wonder what zerohedge says about ukraine corruption?

Of course Russia is corrupt, but we are sending money to Ukraine.

And of course it's affecting everyone's life, especially the many Ukrainians that die every day, fighting our war.

Rod, "When Ukrainians defend themselves, they're escalating"

Rod's parroting of Russian influence operations & propaganda works exactly the same way Russia runs its military operation. Keep recycling old shit endlessly - send wave after wave of trash and hope that something eventually slips through defenses.
