Why do people who wear Ukranian flags in their lapels ignore the dangers Americans face?
The ukrainian flags on people's facebook pages are being taken down and replaced with remember Jan 6th. It's too uncomfortable when you support this guy who stabbed this Ukranian.

Blue cities and Democrats are our problem, not Putin
According to this report, ERAMs seem to be on track for an initial delivery rate to Ukraine of about 70 per month (840 by October 2026), starting with the first 10 next month (Oct 2025).
Defence Industry Europe (5 Sep), https://defence-industry.eu/united-states-speeds-delivery-of-new-eram-cruise-missiles-to-ukraine-under-fast-track-plan/
“Ukraine is set to receive low-cost, long-range, air-launched cruise missiles from the United States, opening a fresh supply line of precision weapons against Russian forces. The Extended-Range Attack Munition (ERAM) marks a new approach to rapid weapons acquisition, development and production by the Pentagon.
The ERAM has appeared within just 14 months of the initial solicitation in August 2024, with prototype deliveries scheduled for October. It is the product of the Weapons Capacity Task Force, an organisation within the U.S. Air Force’s Life Cycle Management Center’s Armament Directorate.
Armed with a $225 million budget, the Task Force awarded contracts to two nontraditional defence companies, CoAspire and Zone 5 Technologies, and tested the weapons on a U.S. Douglas A-4 and a Ukrainian MiG-series fighter. According to Air Force documents obtained by Aviation Week, the first lot of 840 ERAMs is planned for delivery by the end of October 2026.
In late August, U.S. government officials cleared the sale of up to 3,550 ERAMs to Ukraine, with the Defense Security Cooperation Agency notifying Congress of the export deal. The notification confirmed the missiles can be operated from Ukraine’s Lockheed Martin F-16 and MiG-29 fighters.
Although authorised to purchase thousands of units, Ukraine will initially receive a smaller batch. The first 10 cruise missiles are scheduled for delivery in October.
The Air Force Task Force is also pursuing further projects, including palletised munitions similar to the ERAM, low-cost air-to-air missiles and a classified initiative named Sunrise. Prototyping work for hypersonic and subsonic weapons could begin in the third quarter of fiscal 2026.
Lawmakers have recognised the Task Force’s unconventional approach to procurement. “The Task Force has taken a fundamentally different approach to weapons development by embracing nontraditional vendors with expertise in digital engineering, modular design and the ability to scale up production rates rapidly,” a congressional report states.
The ERAM programme contrasts with traditional missile procurement timelines, which can span years. Both CoAspire and Zone 5 completed first flights only four months after the Phase 1 contract award in October 2024, aided by designs from the Enterprise Test Vehicle programme.
The requirement specifies a conventional air-launched cruise missile mounted under a wing or in a weapons bay and compatible with standard bomb racks. Integration can be achieved either through a universal armament interface or via a federated cockpit system.
The U.S. Air Force expects to acquire ERAM alongside at least three foreign buyers, with Ukraine confirmed and two others not yet identified. A related effort, the Family of Affordable Mass Missiles, could add thousands more units, with Anduril and Zone 5 competing to supply the 3,010 systems outlined in the Air Force’s fiscal 2026 budget proposal.

“OPEC+ meets tomorrow. Let’s see if they raise production quotas again, as the new long range precision strike guns are leveled at Russia’s oil industry.”
Well yes they did - another million barrels per day, over the next two months. Conditions are set to replace Russian supply. Send more Drones!
This increase will bring it to 3.5 million BPD of new supply from OPEC+, since April, after President Trump cut a Grand deal with the Saudis, Emiratis and Qataris. That is enough to replace all of Russia’s seaborne crude oil exports, and then some.
Check, if not Checkmate. Masterfully arranged, President Trump. Russia’s oil infrastructure can now be kinetically destroyed, without massive blowback on Western economies.
