Sounds good to me.
I’d love to see the Ukrainians get theirs hands on some anti-ship missiles and start doing a number on the Russian Navy.
Re the Maidan uprising, some people here, who rightly think that the Democratic claim that “Putin’s Facebook ads elected Trump” is utterly ridiculous, somehow totally buy into the idea that “Vicky Nuland’s pastries overthrew the legitimately elected government of Ukraine”. They should know better. Either both of these statements are true (you never know what might have tipped the balance) or neither is true (maybe they made some small marginal difference but deeply rooted domestic political movements cannot be conjured up into existence by an outsider with a few ads or cookies). Accepting these as true is based in the inability to see the opposition as legitimate – such evil people CAN’T possibly represent the TRUE sentiments of the public – if they appear to do so, it is only thru trickery AND upon projection – they know that they achieved their own legitimacy thru similar trickery so they assume that the other side must do the same.
If it really is possible to astroturf a Color Revolution, then Putin was a really weak ass guy who was not capable of outbribing the CIA right in his own back yard. But that’s not true – as we found out in Afghanistan, if the people you are bribing have no real domestic base, you might as well light the money on fire for all the lasting impact it’s going to have. Not only did Putin not learn this lesson in 2014, he STILL hasn’t learned it because when his troops got to Ukraine in February, none of the people he had supposedly “bought” were anywhere to be found.
You want to know whether Zelensky is popularly elected? The population of Ukraine rising up to resist the Russian invader despite being outgunned big time - that’s your evidence that Zelensky is the people’s choice.
But there are other considerations. Stalin wasn’t the people’s choice. We backed him because the alternative was Germany ruling Russia *and* the rest of Europe. Similarly, it’s not important who rules Ukraine - as long as it’s not Russia, just as we did not care who ruled Kuwait, as long as it wasn’t Iraq.
A drone is assembled by the Aerorozvidka unit.
3D printing technology has been used to add fins to Soviet-designed anti-tank hand grenades, allowing them to be dropped from modified civilian drones.
ok this story is propaganda. firstly nobody is building rocket launching drones in their garage. And the fact that you know about this guy means that some propaganda arm is circulating this story. They probably are trying to make a NATO led mission sound like its just some Ukrainian Steve Jobs and Steve Wosniak sitting in their garage with a soldering iron. Its not. Its NATO weapons and probably its a Ukrainian special forces guy who is trained up with NATO forces. The drone may have even been flown by the NATO forces after the Ukrainian put it in place.
Excellent. Wish them well.
Kiev is a better name than Kyiv
After the Russians finish off the 60,000 Ukrainian troops in the cauldron in eastern Ukraine, these Maidan drone boys are going have more than their hands full.
Drone On You
Good, sensible tactic - and something for us to think about when we are ruminating about “what good will a handgun be against tanks?”.
Will Geraldo Rivera be showing their exact location on camera so Putin’s mercenaries can draw a bead on them?
So basically, they were antifa Fascists, trained in street tactics and armed just like antifa and BLM in America?
They should have kept their mouths shut.
You didn’t ping me on this, you devious bastard
Zhang Fei, thanks for the pings!
Lots of good stuff !🎚🇺🇸
To The Ukrainian soldiers I say “Drone On!
