So, whose pussy is holding China back? 🙂 

 

I will submit it is number 2...which dictates China's actions..........I am not aware of what Crouching Tiger dictates China's actions......but it is usually one or the other.....

 

In Trump's case it is both! Probably Clinton's as well!  Not sure what Justin is doing these days!

In a post over the past few days, I mentioned that the US. State of the Union Address was within a couple of weeks,.

 

I got it wrong ,  it’s  March 7th.

 

 

in the meantime it seems the Reps in the US are finally coming up with “plans” to help UKraine. 
Hopefully it’s a sign that this topic , and support never stalls or stops again
 

 

Great news.

What are they waiting for then? Approve the aide package!


It’s politics ,.  One arm wrestling the other for political show and tell to make it look like they have the best idea , and they are the Party to vote for.

When really they stall the right thing to do, in the most sensible, agreeable way.

 

The Dems have the package ready to go,. But the Reps want it to look like it was their idea only.

Just to note here with the attached post:

 

let’s hope this is the beginning of a new era where terrorists are dealt with swiftly and surely to ensure the freedoms we all enjoy,  with order, and laws to guard them.

The Democratic free world is not soft,.  We simply put our swords and armour away to live in Peace..

Terrorism in the color of any face,  gets no negotiation and no place to live or hide.

 

This HAS already happened..

 

The UK and USA responded..

including the USS FLORIDA ,. A Submarine that entered the Red Sea in November.

Just to add to the above:

 

The United States and Great Britain, with the support of Australia, the Netherlands, Bahrain and Canada, launched joint strikes against Houthi targets in Yemen, the Pentagon said.

The strikes were from fighter jets and Tomahawk missiles. More than a dozen Houthi targets were hit by missiles fired from air, surface, and sub platforms and were chosen for their ability to degrade the Houthis’ continued attacks on vessels in the Red Sea, CNN reported.

 

 


 

Glory is a term that should only be used in the sake Good for the World.

 

I think that is how I feel about this.

 

Hopefully the World starts to treat RuZ in this same manner, 

Good is not waiting for things to pass and dealing with the consequences of what has past.


Good is stopping it, and ensuring there will never be another attempt, by eliminating it to its core of value.

Lockheed Martin announced the production of the 1000th copy of the 5th generation F-35 fighter.

As of early January 2024, the F-35 had logged more than 773,000 flight hours, completed more than 469,000 combat missions, and produced more than 2,280 pilots and 15,400 maintainers across 14 flight services around the world. There are currently 32 bases and 11 ships that host or are capable of hosting the F-35. Currently, 17 countries are participating in the international Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) program to develop and acquire the F-35.

However, the thousandth copy of the F-35 and some other new-build vehicles have not yet been delivered to the customer, but are in the parking lot awaiting completion of the latest Technology Refresh 3 (TR-3) hardware and software update, which has encountered problems.

However, there are now more F-35s in service than any other 5th generation fighter jet combined.
 

Giddy-up.

I guess if you wait for them to decompose and decompress you can transport more?

The biodegradable containers used for packaging should also lessen the carbon footprint,   Or perhaps still better as fertilizer?

Lukochenko might have some potatoes he can launch as missiles though 😉 

Does this mean that Wagner has to retreat? They are nazis after all.

Bypass the politics !!

 

NATO owes better protection to UKraine for accepting their application with de-nuclear and de - militarizing protocols.

 

If UKraine is not in NATO , then EVERY country in EU has the right to create their own deals ..  hats off to UK !

Bingo !!   

 

France integrated SCALP-EG (Storm Shadow) missiles on the Su-24M of the Armed Forces of 🇺🇦Ukraine in just a few weeks - MBDA General Director Eric Beranger in an interview with Challenges magazine.

“We were able to adapt SCALP/Storm Shadow cruise missiles to Ukrainian Su-24M bombers in just a few weeks, whereas under normal conditions this would have taken years,” Beranger said.

According to the CEO of MBDA, this was done very quickly because they were given the necessary design authority.

“We had the ability and authority to make decisions, as well as make technical choices,” summed up Eric Béranger.”
