DSVII Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 (edited) 7 hours ago, SilentSam said: Republicans just lost another seat in their narrowing house majority with Bill Johnson's resignation this month (Santos, McCarthy being the earlier ones) they have 219 seats. Meaning the margin is now 2 seats. With the chaos in the Repub leadership right now, they probably see an outcome where they may lose the house before the actual election, may as well get it done with some of their items in it.

Popular Post Optimist Prime Posted January 8 Popular Post Share Posted January 8 ^ interesting take, it would look good on the GOP to lose the house between elections, lol. FWIW, I am not against a border fence and security, it is an international border between two sovereign nations, most countries have a fence between them and control access at border checkpoints. I am left of center in Canada, so really left of center in the US and even I think a border fence is a great idea, and better security patrols like dedicated drone surveillance and rapid reaction teams for breaches, like they use between Israel and Lebanon for instance. I also think the so called 'illegal immigrants' already in america and being used by Americans for cheap labour should have a path to citizenship, perhaps tie a deal to build the wall with that path for those already in the USA? Shrug. Just some random thoughts this morning. 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post SilentSam Posted January 8 Popular Post Share Posted January 8 Another Putin own goal. Swedish PM has announced Sweden will send troops to #Latvia next year as part of a Canadian-led force to deter Russia from attack. Ulf Kristersson said Russia's “trying to destabilise all of Europe” with threats, disinformation & cyber-attacks. Sweden’s natural place is in #NATO” and he wouldn't “waste time waiting for the final ratifications“ 3 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boudrias Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 38 minutes ago, SilentSam said: If the GOP gets border security measures from Biden I suspect support for Ukraine moves forward along with Israel aid. Biden took a principled position on the Russian invasion of Ukraine and should be supported by all. I still think the majority of GOP supports Ukraine. Hopefully by the end of this month. Great that Sweden will be joining Canadian forces in Latvia. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bouds I think the difference this yea is that RuZ is low on trained and seasoned troops. The vids I’ve seen of tank operations has most operators continuing to drive into minefields even after tanks preceding in an operation or convoy are destroyed in front of their eyes. I do not think there is much training going on within RuZ, and anyone jumping in or onto any platform only know forward and reverse,. But if they reverse , they are executing their own. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilentSam Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 This is going to be interesting.. The Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine informs that it has obtained 100 gigabytes of classified data from the Russian company "Special Technology Center” (STC). This Russian company has been under sanctions since 2016. Its facilities produce military equipment and machinery used by the Russian army in the war against Ukraine. In particular, "Orlan" UAVs of various modifications, a number of means of radio-electronic warfare and intelligence, and other military products are manufactured. According to preliminary estimates, the value of the received data may amount to 1.5 billion USD. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilentSam Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 The western world and EU should adopt to place the Swastika on the RuZ flag where ever it’s posted . This will offend Putin to the max, And his emotions will become Russias biggest flaw causing a major implosion. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This could be a game changer if true. Additional naval defence for Romania and Bulgaria as well as a deterrent to Russian interference in non military shipping in the Western Black Sea. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
