This is the silliest idea we have had in this debacle. What? The Soviets don't have any? Jesus Christ...there was a time our war planning was without equal. What dumazz thought this was a good idea?

New report explores how the U.S. knew Vladimir Putin would invade Ukraine Why do you think there was so much backstory to the Ukraine in the years leading up to the war, including both Biden and Trump. The media was fighting to build a credible backstory to build support for an invasion while opponents were trying to discredit the ring leaders waging the war. The politics behind this war are easy to see looking back into the past, in hindsight.

Stupid. We learn nothing.
BTW, when did we stop using "Soviet Union" and "Red China"?
Was there some massive philosophical change that occurred in the governing structure of these 2 communist countries?
Was it because of Walmart, Apple, Amazon, or what?

The six-inch Black Hornet ‘microdrones’ that can enter Russian buildingsBritain is to supply Ukraine with hundreds of “microdrones” so small they can fly within feet of Russian soldiers and enter buildings to spy on their positions.
The six-inch Black Hornet drones, which look like a child’s toy helicopter, were first used by British forces during the invasion of Afghanistan.
The miniature drones have a 1.2-mile range, a top speed of 11mph, night vision and a flight time of up to 25 minutes.
Their rotors are silent enough that they can enter compounds without being detected, while three cameras in the nose beam back high-definition video.
Boris Johnson’s office announced on Wednesday that the 850 microdrones were part of a new £54 million package. They will be jointly supplied with Norway, which co-produced the drone.

I remember when the US thought their Stealth planes were 'invisible' during the Serbia / Kosovo conflict and the Serbians shot one down using tech that could actually see the planes.
Someone I used to know, who was high up in US Military Intelligence told me that the plane was not invisible and that they used Russian tech at the time to 'see' it.
Good luck.

Six months in Ukraine and they've never established air superiority. And Ukraine barely has an airforce. You break open one of their drones and you find chips used in American lawn mowers. Russian tech. And that story has always been propaganda. Here's what actually happened. An In-Depth Analysis of how Serbs Were Able to Shoot Down An F-117 Stealth Fighter during Operation Allied Force

An In-Depth Analysis of how Serbs Were Able to Shoot Down An F-117 Stealth Fighter during Operation Allied ForceI'll believe what a friend of mine with ties to and former US military intelligence tells me over a public article. In fact, I'd recommend this: If it's being advertised on public media, like these mini drones are then I wouldn't put much faith in them or the story that goes along with it. Or does military intelligence always advertise their secret weapons publicly? Just like when US intelligence in 2016 advertised publicly that Trump was potentially colluding with Russians only to eventually find out it was a smear campaign for political gain? It's all politics, folks and if the news is carrying it, it's probably meant to influence how you think.

And the tiny drones aren't secret technology, that's been out for years. The story is how the Ukrainians are being supplied by the West to fight the Russian invaders, which is extremely important.

I'm not going to debate who is right because it doesn't really matter in the context of the discussion They shot it down when it was 'invisible' and out hustled the West on that particular day. What matters to me much more as the fact that the mainstream media is nothing more than a brainwashing system for the masses. i wonder when the West is going to worry about democracy in countries and continents where it can't profit?
