Lots of habbenings in Minsk, Belarus tonight following some elections.

Opposite layout of the wide-track Whataburger but that’s got some class!
It also looks like a heart attack on a bun, but sometimes you gotta go for the gusto. That wrapper reminds me of when burger buns would come with that slather of warm grease on top, oh yes.
Protests erupt in Minsk after election
“Belarusian police and protesters clashed on Sunday in the capital Minsk and other cities, with law enforcement officers using stun grenades after a presidential vote that the opposition says was rigged”.

Rigged elections - did they use mail-in voting there too?
Seems like the left wants the same here.

I have read she is luciferian illuminati. Also Hill (a Roth) and Bill (a Rock).
I was thinking, if I was Trump, I might just send the word around that Ivanka will had a $100 bill to everyone who is standing outside when I leave the WH today. Just to screw with the media.

I worry a bit. China possibly has the ability to sink a U.S. aircraft carrier with hypersonic missiles from space (15,000 MPH at impact; many times faster than a bullet fired from a high-powered rifle).
As far as I can tell, the Pentagon is only at the very beginning of a procurement program for autonomous (self-firing) A.I. controlled directed beam weapons to defend against this.
In addition, China has geared their military program to defeating the U.S. battlefield communications systems which make our "Network-centric warfare" functional. Trump's people have been trying very hard to catch up with the Obama neglect, but I don't think we're there yet.
In terms of air power, we may have over-reliance on F-35 for example. Even if it is the greatest fighter plane in the world, we only have 12,000 of them ... versus 350,000 warplanes the U.S. fielded in WWII, and an unknown (but potentially FAR LARGER) number of warplanes (designs stolen from us of course) and drones which the Chinese may use to potentially overcome our superior (presumably) technology.
The U.S. is finally looking to close this gap in numbers of warplanes with large quantities of jet-powered autonomous fighting drones which can accompany F-35s or F-15s ... but this gap will take several years to fill.
Knowing how fast Trump is correcting the weaknesses actually makes China more likely to strike sooner rather than later, especially if they start to realize Trump will be re-elected.
I suppose our submarines still rule the day, but it is not nearly as secure a proposition as it was a few short years ago.
And none of this even takes into account the traitors in U.S. government who will try and thwart any strong actions which Trump or any other President might wish to take. So there's that to worry about too.
Aura = stench of burning sulfur.
See y'all on the next thread.
thanks, I didn’t hear about it
CHICOMS are the Beverly Hillbillies? LOL
I like the sound of SHOWTIME!
