@axgama79@CarlosRamirezF No, pero tienen que llegar a uno.
Y la capacidad limitado y altísimo costo de la TUA en AICM, hace que los boletos a Mexico son mas caros que otros alternativas.
@citrinowicz@nytimes Iran is in no mood for compromises. There will be no agreement that put any kind of limits on their nuclear programme.
Either you live with a soon to be nuclear Iran, or you convince Trump to go for a full war to change the regime.
There is NO diplomatic "solution".
@MichaPaprocki6@dszeligowski Europe will support Ukraine until the victory. If Ruzzia attacks Europe, the defeat will be faster.
If Ruzzia uses nuclear weapons, they will be terminated by European nukes.
@dszeligowski Putin and his kind, never understood that it is impossible to get what they want, by negotiating with USA.
USA does not have decision power in Ukraine, and any agreement would be moot.
Only by accepting Ukraine and Europe as counterparts, can diplomacy work.
Adorable. The Department of War explaining that access to American weapons is "a privilege, not a right" is rather like a landlord lecturing tenants about loyalty while the roof is on fire and the rent has tripled.
Let's review the privilege. Iran, a sanctioned economy running on drones and spite, just spent weeks exposing the flagship American arsenal as exquisite, eye-wateringly expensive, and built for a war that ended thirty years ago. Meanwhile the F-35, your crown jewel, requires a maintenance entourage of roughly a hundred people per aircraft, a spare parts pipeline with a mood disorder, and a software licence that can be switched off from Washington whenever the president wakes up cross. Ukraine keeps ageing jets flying from motorway strips with a fraction of that. Turns out the privilege was the overhead all along.
And the reliability argument. You cannot threaten to abandon NATO on Monday, tariff your allies on Tuesday, and then present a "strong demand signal" on Wednesday as if nobody kept notes. Europe is not buying less American kit because we're sulking. We're buying less because a weapons system with a political kill switch attached to a four-year mood swing is a subscription service.
You say no one can replicate the American defence industrial base. Quite right. Nobody wants to. Why would anyone copy a factory optimised for the last war? Ukraine has shown Europe what the future actually looks like: cheap, fast, and built next door. Short supply lines, fail fast, and weapons that adapt in weeks rather than decades. While you spend twenty years and two trillion dollars perfecting one aircraft, a workshop outside Kyiv redesigns a drone on Tuesday because the jamming changed on Monday.
The “middle powers strategy” isn’t a distraction, and it isn’t a strategy either. It’s just what happens when the shopkeeper starts insulting the customers, doubling the prices, and musing openly about annexing one of them. Yes, we noticed the Greenland thing. Allies tend to remember when you threaten to take their territory. It’s an odd sales technique, coveting the customer’s house while lecturing him about loyalty.
So do carry on explaining that our engagement with you is a privilege. We’ll be over here, building the cheap fast stuff that actually wins wars, and checking the till twice.
@USWPColby You are delusional. The USA is no longer a reliable partner, and its arms industry has been eclipsed by both China and Europe/Ukraine.
US weapons are with few exceptions, too expensive and have a way to long delivery time. Add to that an unreliable and hostile government.
