Day one,the Ukrainians start building the Pac-3. Day two,an Oreshnik destroys the factory building the Pac-3.
@pkulnis
Trump had a lucid moment in Turkey today. He said Zelenskyy is more interested in money than ending the conflict.
@tajinderpalsingh26
Russia should cut Ukraine’s access to sea as soon as possible.
@ConradAinger
The term ‘shadow fleet ‘ is propagandistic, being cooked up by the BBC and first used by them. The tankers, and the other ships, are normal commercial shipping under flags of convenience. This how most oil arrives in Western European countries.
@CS-yy5rf
Dear friends, it is the time for Russia to declare war against Ukraine arguing that collective west is fighting a proxy war via Ukraine against Russia, is time Russia to flex muscles and finish the war with a victory.
@harryflashman4542
Its ironic that in WW2 we were on Russia’s side against the nazis. In WW3 we’re against Russia on the side of the nazis.

Nearly all the rare earths needed to make Patriots (especially magnets) are practically 100% obtained from China…and China has said no more of these rare earths will be supplied to the West. Trump giving a licence to manufacture is an empty gesture…go for it…make your own…ask Xi for the stuff you need to make them.
@DanielBritoist
It’s not so easy to produce interceptors! Delusional! You need rare earth that the US doesn’t have. That’s BS propaganda!
@LegXEquestris
The masks have fallen. I hope, the Russians make it clear, that a war would mean the complete destruction of the western banking cartel, so no one entertains the idea of retreating to some remote island, where they cannot be touched.
@qbond007
Military summary has childish logic. So Ukraine can produce PAC-3 interceptors faster than U.S and in the middle of a war Seriously mate sometimes your dots don’t connect.
@Exmedi_Xanii
If the range of the jammers is only 20 kilometers, then they should place them inside the oil refineries. When drones that have bypassed the air defense system approach the oil refineries, the jammer system should be activated.
@sonnyjim5268
History has shown us “controlled escalation” can’t be controlled. This is the belief of arrogant leaders that believe they are smart enough to handle things.
