@JohnHealey_MP@GoodGrowthFdn Then stop buying F35a when we already have CASD just to suck up tor trump and buy more typhoons that have a heavier uk content and will increase the mass desperatley needed on a day to day basis.
@LOS_Fisher@FT I assume part of the 18 billion increase - surely a few more typhoons to increase mass, investment in uk jobs and at lower unit cost due to Turkey order is a no brainer rather than 12 x f35a’s
@Gabriel64869839 Fairytale land buy b-21 from usa( if possible) that can do both nuclear and conventional. Obviously never going to happen - so we should stop dicking about with f35a and spend on more important things that we need right now - such as cruise missiles and missile defence etc
Judging by the fact that Zelensky is being pressed to accept a “plan” for Ukraine’s de facto capitulationь before November 27, and to “finalize the entire process” by early December, this can mean only two things:
Either everyone fully understands that no one in their right mind would accept such an ultimatum of crushing capitulation and total submission to the aggressor --especially not within a week (!!) -- and so they intend to use the inevitable refusal as a pretext to finally betray Ukraine and melt into an ecstatic embrace with the Kremlin;
Or Donald Trump once again feels an overwhelming itch to meet the nomination deadline for the Nobel Peace Prize early next year.
I can’t wrap my head around it.
The largest, bloodiest, and most terrifying war in Europe since World War II is raging.
The fates of tens of millions of people hang in the balance, whole nations, entire regions, the future of the free world, matters of life and death.
And yet one phenomenally jealous and self-obsessed man, well into his late seventies, is busy tossing everything at the aggressor’s feet without a second thought, at any cost, with any consequences, just to soothe his wounded ego, get his new desired toy, and one-up Obama.
@Gerashchenko_en Ukraine is killing Russians is because they invaded ! US is so weak on this.Stating they are both as bad as each other -shocking. Imagine Trump is gone and a strong president supports what’s morally right. Golden chance to destroy Russia without one US loss - they bottled it
@Gabriel64869839 Any confirmation that the DIP is going to be released before the end of autumn (. Next ten days) as committed to ? I am struggling to find anything confirming this is on track or not ….
@FTusa284@haynesdeborah don’t understand how it can pass IOC when it’s not proven how it can defend against drones - EW suite not tested? Armour resilience against drones? Can it shoot them down? It’s a farce that these could be sent to a war zone which if anything like Ukraine would last minutes.
