@Ryandally08 @kaitlancollins @KristenhCNN Nowadays half of the billions of people that interact online, don't actually exist. They're bots to manipulate us to create engagement for profit. It is always funny to see that the ones programmed to pose as right wing need to be presented as stupid as well. Art imitates life?

@ryangrim Biden forbade the use of US weapons for this, and Trump stopped supplying them. Ukraine uses its own weapons.
I'm sure you will delete this post and issue a correction.

@ryangrim Every American attack on Iran drives up oil prices and makes Russia richer and better able to pay for its war against Ukraine. Ukrainian attacks are trying to offset that benefit so prices rise but revenues go to other countries

@grilli262 @Mylovanov Probably need to go back and look at the signatories of the 1994 Budapest Memorandum there, champ.
By international treaty, it explicitly IS a war for which we have obligations.
And furthermore: taking money to sell weapons, then withholding them, is also a breach of contract

BREAKING: Zelensky just landed in the UAE and signed a defence cooperation agreement with President MBZ.
The deal on the table changes everything about this war. Ukraine is offering Gulf states 1,000 drone interceptors per day. Each Sting interceptor costs $2,100. Each Patriot missile it replaces costs $3.9 million. In exchange, Ukraine wants the Patriot missiles the Gulf states are burning through, because Kyiv cannot get enough of them to stop Russian missiles.
Read that again. The country America refused to arm fast enough is now arming America’s allies with a weapon that costs 1,857 times less than the one America cannot produce fast enough.
The National reported on March 27 that Zelensky told reporters: “We’d like to quietly receive the Patriot missiles we have a deficit of, and give them a corresponding number of interceptors.” AFP confirmed the UAE agreement on March 28. Eleven countries have formally requested Ukraine’s drone defence expertise per Zelensky’s own count. Over 200 Ukrainian military specialists are already deployed across the UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Jordan.
Here is the arithmetic that should terrify every Pentagon procurement officer on earth.
The United States fired 943 Patriot interceptors in the first four days of the Iran war per a US Congressional study cited by the Jerusalem Post. That is eighteen months of Lockheed Martin’s annual production consumed in 96 hours. Each of those 943 shots cost $3.9 million. Total expenditure: $3.68 billion in four days on defensive interceptions alone. Iran produces 10,000 Shahed drones per month per Reuters. Each drone costs $20,000 to $50,000. The cost exchange ratio is 114 to 1 in Iran’s favour per Military Times.
Ukraine’s Sting interceptor inverts this arithmetic entirely. At $2,100, the cost ratio flips from 114-to-1 against America to roughly 10-to-1 against Iran. Ukraine can supply 1,000 per day. That is 30,000 per month against Iran’s 10,000 Shaheds per month. For the first time in this war, the defender’s production rate exceeds the attacker’s production rate at a fraction of the cost.
And the country that built this weapon is the same country that Trump publicly rejected. “No, they are not helping. We do not need their help. We know more about drones than anyone else” per Fox News. He doubled down: “The last person we need help from is Zelensky.” Meanwhile the Pentagon notified Congress of plans to redirect $750 million in Ukraine-bound Patriot missiles to Gulf states per House of Saud reporting. America is simultaneously refusing Ukraine’s cheap solution and cannibalising Ukraine’s expensive one.
Zelensky framed this explicitly. He told The National: “No matter how many Patriots, THAADs, or other air-defence systems are in the Middle East, that alone is not enough for fully effective air defence.” He told the UK Parliament: “When it comes to shooting down massive Shahed attacks, only Ukrainian experience can really help with this today.”
The Pentagon is spending $3.9 million per interception, raiding Swiss fighter jet accounts to cover shortfalls, and diverting Ukraine’s own Patriot supply to the Gulf. Zelensky is offering the same result for $2,100 and producing 1,000 units per day. The market has a word for this kind of disruption.
The $2,100 drone is the most important weapon in this war. And the country that built it is the one America said it did not need.

@allenanalysis "This is the President of the United States." - no, it's the current state of US journalism; the funnel through which the US public is informed (since they don't read, lack critical thinking, due to the majority being illiterate up to 6th grade) and therefore can be fed this BS.

Trump at a press conference today:
“I’m going to take a few questions. You can ask me anything you want. You can talk sex.”

This is the President of the United States.

@Tweet4AnnaNAFO if for centuries RU forced to stay the biggest country in the world, they also believed to be unconquerable because of the distances...but now a new era is introduced by UA. Thanks to their drone tech, RU became defenseless because of those same distances.

@ZardSi @ArizonaBJJ The fact you retweeted something from Iranian state media tells me all I need to know about you & your loyalty.

@DakdaR22 No. NATO should be dissolved. It's a paperless tiger serving only the needs of the vetoers. I support establishing the Three Seas initiative to take over. (t.ly/YDM5s)

“Not our war.”
But it was very much your business when you forced Ukraine to give up one of the world’s largest nuclear arsenals.
Funny how that part gets forgotten.
Department of State@StateDept
SECRETARY RUBIO: The U.S. is constantly asked to help in wars and we have. But when we had a need, it didn’t get positive responses from NATO. A couple leaders said that Iran was not Europe’s war. Well, Ukraine isn’t our war, yet we’ve contributed more to that fight than anyone.

@mmeeuw Hij probeert een invasie gelijk te stellen met een grensconflict. Dat is gelijk aan een bargevecht gelijkstellen met een verkrachting. Synchrone versus asynchrone oorlogvoering. Zijn oplossing is het slachtoffer helpen vast te pinnen zodat de verkrachting sneller voorbij is.

#fvd kamerlid Dekker wil de banden met Rusland aanhalen om Russisch gas te kopen. "De situatie rondom Rusland wordt wel heel karikaturaal voorgesteld, er zijn altijd twee kanten aan een verhaal. Het cultiveren van vijandbeelden valt te nuanceren, de informatie is heel eenzijdig."

I know *nothing* about Dutch politics but seeing Rutte at NATO has made me retrospectively *so sorry* for them 😳

Mark Rutte’s suggestion that European allies would eventually 'come together' to heed the US president’s call to deploy naval assets in the Strait of Hormuz has irked officials in several European capitals ft.trib.al/XH9amqC
