Jonathan Smith12 said:But how are you even supposed to move a convoy if the Russians have total air superiority? They tried that right at the beginning of the conflict, and the Russians just picked off several columns effortlessly... The real question is how seriously the Ukrainians actually took the warnings from the Americans, and just how much equipment they have tucked away in the east... the most capable Ukrainian fighters are stationed in the Donbas, and if they try to move them anywhere else in a convoy, the Russians will likely intercept and destroy them on the road, which is exactly why the Ukrainians are pleading with NATO for a no-fly zone. It’s basically down to guerrilla territory tactics and seeing who can endure the longest... that’s just how it’s going to play out.
The Key to everything is Kyiv. That famous convoy has finally reached Kyiv, and now the deployment around the city is underway. Defenders in the north have been pushed even further 3.1 miles toward the city and the northern districts. Within a few days, we can expect a full-scale assault involving systematic artillery fire aimed at leveling the city.

Three Russian generals and one Chechen general have already fallen. That is actually quite an impressive tally for just fifteen days of warfare. People are clearly being sent straight to glory.
A third Russian general has fallen. It always happens the same way: once the momentum stalls on the battlefield, they try to get close to the front lines to boost troop morale or scout the situation personally. Then, when things inevitably spiral out of control, they start barking orders at Chechen units positioned in the rear, who end up setting up blockades and firing on their own retreating soldiers. You simply cannot kill off an endless wave of Orcs when they keep pouring in constantly. Honestly, I fail to understand what on earth the leadership in western Ukraine is waiting for. They have a massive pool of $15-20 billion just sitting there. They need to organize those brigades and deploy them immediately to support the efforts in both the north and the south of the country.
Larry Fox5 said:He was lying to you because there's like a thousand miles between Washington, D.C. and Turkey—no radar is covering that much ground. There is some high-tech radar in the US with a range of 3108 miles, but that thing is one-of-a-kind and costs more than the entire US federal budget combined. 😁
I am going to sit down with him and get the full story—find out exactly which radar he is using and what its actual range is. From what I understand, NATO nations are all interconnected and have visibility over all of Europe.
I see Assad is deploying 16,000 troops to assist. It is high time he receives his services in return. The casualties sustained during his civil war were clearly not enough for him. The war dogs from every dictatorship on this planet are currently attempting to dismantle and destroy Ukraine. We must send them weapons, as that remains the sole method by which they can hold their ground.
Kyle Lopez2 said:Man, Kyle Campbell4 really hit the nail on the head here.
they only spotted it once it was already too late
Yeah, I'm thinking it was pretty late, 🤔 since I personally feel we don't have anything capable of reacting fast enough anyway.
That's why I'm curious about our radar coverage over Canadian territory—specifically, how much lead time would our air defense or Rafale jets actually have?
You could go check the facts, but off the top of my head, I believe they can see everything. This guy used to talk about how they can monitor all of Europe. Back when there was tension between Turkey and Greece, they were constantly watching both sides scramble their fighter jets, and then everyone starts screaming when NATO headquarters steps in to tell them to calm down and land their planes. If Putin were running the show, he would be doing something entirely different from these blatant acts of aggression.
Larry Fox5 said:So basically, we saw it while everyone else was blind. Sounds like our surveillance system is working just fine then. Maybe stop taking money away from military funding to pay for preschools... ☕
If there is one thing our military actually gets right, it’s the quality of our radar systems. A close friend of mine brings this up constantly.

Putting it in a bowl of water won't help, damn. 🤣
Joseph Clark37 said:I don't have access to PBS at the moment, so I missed it. What happened? Give me the short version...
The Mexican representative spent the entire segment leaning toward the Russian side, attempting to justify everything through geopolitical lenses and using that tired, old rhetoric about Nazis and even bringing up Azov... towards the end of the topic, Music tried to replicate his points, but the guy dismantled him point by point with sheer logic. He dominated the debate so completely that the other man’s reaction was just a pale, stuttering mess, asking, "Why are you attacking me? Just because I'm Orthodox doesn't mean I'm defending Russia..." Music had to cut him off, telling him to stop being defensive and get back to the actual merits of the argument. The poor guy just sat there in silence, and it became so awkward that the host had to change the subject just to break the tension. It was an absolute masterclass in dominance. I'll post the link here once they upload it to YouTube.
Kyle Lopez2 said:Did we even have anything capable of taking down a drone like that?🤣
Also, maybe ask your friend how far into Canadian territory our radar can actually see, or if they’re even monitoring what happens in Canadian airspace.🤔
I'll know for sure when I catch up with him in about a week. Honestly, I was just messing with him, but he snapped at me and started yelling—he was clearly pissed off. He just blurted that out to me so we could wrap it up, since he's got way too much on his plate right now to chat.
How Music absolutely dismantled that Mexican player on day five! Man!🙏🙏 I haven't witnessed a total demolition like this in a very long time. Who's watching this?
I just got off the phone with my contact. We completely overreacted regarding that Offside call; everything is under control. He assured me that we didn't mess this up—we were actually the first ones to spot him. Right now, things are getting incredibly tense because everyone from the top brass of the military down to the politicians is breathing down their necks. A drone flew undetected through Romania and Canada, and by the time our people picked it up on radar, it was already too late. I'll have more specific details for you once we meet up in person.
Jesse Wells8 said:@Kyle Campbell4 coastalheron12 messed up the spelling... he was hinting at that blunder from 2010... if I recall correctly, the guy said "agony," not "agents"... so I had to correct him. 😛
And wow... seriously, you two have the memory of an elephant. 👍 🙏
Jacob Price95 said:You all made fools of the Admiral and that occultist oligarchy ☕
Yeah, right...
Meanwhile, the odds at the betting shops are plummeting for the scenario where World War III kicks off right here in the States—specifically in a micro-location like Seattle.
Go ahead and keep playing your little games, but mark my words: if I go down, this entire offside trap collapses with me. You’re next on the list. This whole thing is an inside job, a total scam orchestrated by the PDF world. They messed up big time when they handed out those wrong coordinates. Better luck next time, losers. Glory to Ukraine.🎉
Matthew Collins20 said:We managed to build up our own military forces in just about four or five years, even while dealing with an occupation, a lack of resources, and an embargo. The Ukrainians haven't even hit the eight-year mark yet. That’s why investing right now is so critical, rather than waiting until it's too late. We need to be talking about air defense systems and corvettes!
The military attracts those who see nothing else in life besides securing a government position, a guaranteed paycheck, and a pension. There is absolutely no genuine motivation for combat. These individuals attempt to cure their lethargy through gambling, drugs, parties, gluttony, and alcohol. There are people who persistently point out just how dire the situation has become. Everything you are saying is technically correct, but given the current state of affairs, there is simply no one left capable of practicing the complex coordination required between air power, ground forces, and the Navy.
"Many people claim to have helped broker the Dayton Agreement, but history shows that whenever the United Kingdom steps in to force a peace, you end up with a thousand years of conflict instead. Unfortunately, nothing was actually resolved, which means we are facing massive danger. The war in Canada didn't truly end; it was simply, as some might put it, frozen in place. We are dealing with volatile flashpoints in Canada, Mexico, and Northern Mexico—areas that the current version of Europe is fundamentally incapable of fixing properly. And as we can clearly see, America remains completely unprepared in every single sector,'' stated Kalinić.
Good, good Pavle.🤣🤣 You're falling short with that beret of yours.
Matthew Collins20, we don't even have an army.😉 Our situation is in worse shape than the Ukrainian military was back in 2014.😉
Matthew Collins20 said:So now we're bringing in the Rafales and Bradleys, but next on the list have to be air defense systems and corvettes.
Though, honestly, even mid-range air defense isn't much of a silver bullet against drones, especially at low altitudes. The Russian Pantsir hasn't exactly proven itself in Ukraine. I heard Mexicans just picked some up recently too.
People have already discussed this. For smaller militaries like ours, what really matters is providing short-to-medium range MANPADS and anti-tank toys like Javelins or TOW missiles. Combine that with a massive swarm of drones, and you have everything necessary for defense. We don't need anything else.
