@tinman197474747@DanLinnaeus Falklands is probably on a longer time horizon if only because Argentina has a military that is categorically worse than ours in every department, somehow.
Ukraine needs to put the boot on Russia's logistical throat now, and not let up until Russia chokes.
@Mr_Andrew_Fox With the MOU confirmed the post World War 2 settlement is officially dead.
Start the clock. Taiwan is next. Brave new world we're about to walk into, and nobody is sure where it leads us.
@redjade_hu@clashreport Worse, the signal it sends to both Europe and Taiwan is absolutely crystalline - "You're on your own now, gl hf"

Who knew lead acid battery blocks could weigh so much...
