SpaceX has developed reusable rockets which have revolutionized the satellite industry and set new price points
Jet fighters are nice. But that is not going to work for Ukraine in this war.
The Russians will just bomb all the bases that the Ukrainians have parked their jets.
Then what?
The Russians are destroying Ukraine's infrastructure.
Drones are the way to go. You can mass produce the drones cheaply. And it's easier to hide the drones so the Russians can't bomb them.
The Ukrainians are bombing the oil refineries in Russia right now. That's smart because they are trying to stop Putin from funding his war machine. You do that by taking out his oil infrastructure.
Blah, blah, blah WSJ. You and all the rest of the detractors.
Ukraine ping

The US bombed Serbia without eliminating its air force. During Desert Storm, the US bombed Iraq without eliminating its air force. (Iraq’s problem was an inability to get fresh supplies. Ukraine doesn’t have that problem). It dropped more bombs on Iraq than Russia has dropped on Ukraine during its entire war so far. Russia doesn’t have the capacity to come close to matching the US performance during Desert Storm, incomplete as it was.
A big part of Russia’s problem is money. The US spent $60b for ~1 month of war. Adjusted for inflation, that’s $150b. That paid for operating ~1500 warplanes in the theater, 100K sorties. Whereas Russia’s incremental war expense for Ukraine is not even $60b, with the lion’s share of that soaked up in salary expense. Combat pay of $24K per year for 1m troops in-country vs peacetime pay of about $4K - good for morale, but one reason Russia is fielding golf carts and motorcycles in place of armored fighting vehicles. And it is why Russia’s air force sortie rate per month in Ukraine is well under 1,000, two orders of magnitude smaller than Desert Storm.
More Liberal attempts to spook MAGA Voters. Sorry Charlie, it will not work. Trump will not start WW III. He said he wouldn’t and unlike any Democrat or Media hypster, I believe him.
Thanks Zhang Fei.
Trump opposes war by strength, not weakness like Obama did.
Trump unleashed a massive buildup and upgrade of our nuclear weapons capability, cancelled the INF treaty with Russia, and because of the constant nuclear threats Putin has been making during this invasion Trump wanted to send nuclear subs to threaten him, to shut him up while wanting Ukraine to get the jets Biden was holding back.
Trump also reactivated V Corps and moved it forward to Poland and conducted American training exercises inside of Ukraine while telling NATO to build-up and end dependence on Russian energy.
Still making the effort...two minutes for Chasiv Yar:

Another Demonizing LIE from a GloboHomoPedo Legacy America Hating Shill.
Is Ruzzia weak or is Ruzzia Strong?
Still waiting for your answer.
I hope you wait until you drop.
Such a simple question. Can’t figure out how to answer?
Is Ruzzia Weak or is Ruzzia Strong
This is the problem with misguided Russia lickers.
You make up meaningless little paradigms and then think that answers something.
Tell me which of these are “strong” or “weak”:
Israel
Britain
Taiwan
India
Stupid question.
As though the author has any experience in foreign matters.
The only thing stupid in you.
