F-35 Stealth Fighters Are ‘Policing’ Europe's Skies to Keep Russia at Bay
U.S. Air Force F-35 fifth-generation stealth aircraft are now seeking to keep Russian forces at bay through ongoing “Enhanced Air Policing” in high value areas such as the Baltics states and Black Sea. According to an Air Force TV news report, eight new F-35A fighters from the Vermont Air...nationalinterest.org
Vermont Octet, early word is they are performing well. Frames capable of sanitizing wide areas, both air and ground.
“A larger number of F-35 Joint Strike Fighters, and F-22 Raptors as well, would be much better positioned to overcome Russian air defenses as part of a rapid effort to establish air superiority.”
^ Moscow penetration if required
The amount of force the US could bring to bear on Russia in just 24 hrs is scary......many people are not aware of what the US has not so quietly but quietly slipped into the region.

I wonder how much money Ukrainian big shots like Zelensky and his generals are making selling US weapons on the black market.
Probably a bit more than the thumbs down crew cares to admit. Corrupt regimes don't start operating above-board just because they're under assault by Russia.

There is a reason congress refused to allow accountability for the 40 billion we sent to Zelensky.

I mean if that is the bar for corruption then......or maybe Zelensky is a ok guy and you are just wrong on the corruption angle.
Mnuchin is Keeping $500 Billion in Bailout Funds Secret
This corruption is jaw-dropping, even for the Trump administration.
www.citizen.org
that the Trump administration intends to keep secret the names of the businesses that have received more than $500 billion in COVID-19 bailout funds through the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), claiming the information is “confidential.”
There's a political section and you guys can discuss this all you want there or I can just shut this thread down

I'd move it to the Political Section. You have people that don't want to die in a nuclear war and others that are eager to kill us all, so it'll naturally devolve into a heated and ugly debate. It's all politics at this point, and there's essentially zero credible sources in NATO and Russian-Allied Countries. That's War.

Yep....This has now reached the money making point of the war. I stand strongly with the Ukraine people and soldiers but the ugly side ALWAYS comes to fruition
Please cut out the political BS, purpose is stated in the first page.

@WeatherNC & too everyone else..
US officials push back on reports sales of dark web javelin missiles: 'Russian disinformation'
Ya'll know it's NOT "Russian Disinformation" now then.... (asking 4 a friend)..
----------------
Officials insist known Russian disinformation social media accounts spread the reports
U.S. officials have deemed reports of Javelin missile sales on the dark web as little more than further Russian disinformation.
"We have no evidence that corroborates this claim," Eric Pahon, Pentagon Spokesman, told FOX Business. "In addition, the source cited is a known Russian propaganda and disinformation network."
Reports first started appearing on social media, showing screenshots of supposed sales on the dark web asking for $30,000 for an FGM-148 Javelin the famous "fire and forget" anti-tank guided missile system.
The posts claim that the sales come from Ukraine, implying that the weapons have been diverted from official sources.

*Plausible deniability* When one gets used for evil & nefarious purposes "We never could see that coming nor happening!",,, quoting Intel sources familiar with the matter.. Will be the MSN headline(s)..
I watched (several), videos of those (Weapons), being transported in Civilian cars & vehicles, What's to say "whom ever" transporting those weapons, took a side Trip too meet with..... Bad Actors..
You can bet your ass more than "some" went elsewhere..
Along with My Gold & Weapons that sank during, My last fishin/boating trip..
I speculate, "some" have fallen into Black Market hands, NO Doubt in My mind. With evil intentions.

Edit: don't ya'll recall Fast & Furious or the Benghazi weapons schemes?

Momentum in Ukraine Is Shifting in Russia's Favor

Sounds like losses on both sides are piling up. Very unfortunate.
Ukraine suffering up to 1,000 casualties per day in Donbas, official says
Ukraine's top negotiator says 200 to 500 troops are dying daily.

Lithuanians near Kaliningrad put faith in NATO after Russia's threats
Russia's threat to punish Lithuania over blocked rail shipments to Moscow's enclave of Kaliningrad jangled nerves on Tuesday for residents living just across the border who put faith in NATO membership to thwart any potential military action.
Not the Ukraine, but this could get us into a war with Russia. Lithuania is a NATO country.

There is obviously a 5th column inside Russia of sympathetic Russians sabotaging factories, refineries, etc...

Russians have completely encircled and separated Ukrainian forces in and around Sieverodonetsk. They will have complete control of the entire Luhansk Region very soon. They have also started advancing further west and north in the Donetsk Region.
