@boytzun @matt_vanswol Those scanners cost 400k for basic ones up to easily $2m+ for high end photon counting systems. The one I used at work was 1.2 and is mid tier.
There is no doubt that the US provided all the intelligence information to Russia on the Kursk region. Logistics, location of warehouses and strongholds, and movements of the Ukrainian Armed Forces were provided to the russians. Which explains the instant and stunning success of the russians in the Kursk direction.
@Manic_Doge@BRICSinfo I hate how Ukraine dragged itself into this war, similar to that time USA dragged itself into war after Japan politely visited them in pear harbour ๐ค
After 9/11, NATO's Article 5 was invoked for the first (and only) time ever by the United States.
Troops from the UK, Canada, Germany, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Denmark, Australia, Spain, Poland, Norway, Romania, Turkey, New Zealand, Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia, Ukraine, Finland, and many others joined the fight in Afghanistan.
More than one thousand of these soldiers paid the ultimate price.
JD Vance - Have you said 'thank you' once for their sacrifice?
I'm sorry, but the 'peace through strength' crowd expecting Trump to resist Putin was delusional from the start.
Here's why:
- Trump has been pro-Russia since the 70s, and his sons said that they made a lot of money from Russia
- Russians helped Trump win the presidency in 2016
- Trump sucked up to Putin already back in 2018, and even gave classified information to Lavrov
- Trump despises Zelenskyy because he didn't provide any dirt on the Bidens about the Burisma case in 2019
- Trump lifted sanctions against Russian oligarchs and wanted to invite Russia back to G7 in 2019
- Trump stalled 400 million aid and Javelin sales to Ukraine
- Trump and Mike Johnson stalled Ukraine aid for 7 months in congress
- Trump administration is full of pro-Kremlin actors who have blamed NATO and Ukraine for the war. These include Tulsi Gabbard, RFK Jr. and JD Vance
- Trump has never criticized Putin yet he called Zelenskyy a 'dictator'
VP Vance asked for a thank you for an aid package he voted against. His administration also told Zelensky that he (1) has to give up parts of his country to Putin , (2) cant join NATO, (3) has to pay back the US for past aid, and (4) there will no new aid. So exactly why does Vance think he is owed a thank you?
The American people deserve a thank you & have received it from Zelenskyy many times.
