By all accounts, Russia is jamming and spoofing (bending) GPS.

(Russia has it’s own sat-based system independent of GPS called Glonass)

Contrary to Western propaganda, Ukraine is actively exporting wheat through Romanian ports, which remain open, as well as by land and by river

Those weapons they are receiving are not “ free” and there is a debt accumulating that will have to be repaid.

I’m more worried about what the Democrats and their Assistant Democrats helpers in the GOP are going to do to us.

“So there’s a new communist mantra - those who support Ukraine against aggression are murdering the Ukrainians.

Spoken like true marxist dupes.”

You are the only person saying that.

Just like you implied that anyone who doesn’t support Ukraine is anti American.

That’s the stupid sh!t Alexander Vindeman would say.

For sure. Looks like our whiz-kids in The Pentagon hadn’t considered that possibility. And why should they - GPS works for them every day, when they need to get home after work.

All true. We are arming tomorrow’s mercenary warlords all over the region for the next 20 years.

Orc propaganda get published all over without people knowing exactly where the story came from. S&S is not a reliable news source

Going all the way back to Desert Storm, we “spoofed” our own GPS so that Iraqi spotters on the ground in Saudi Arabia reported wrong lat-lon corrections back to Baghdad for the next SCUD launch. They kept “correcting” and the SCUDs kept missing. This is the essence of “spoofing.”

That was 30 years ago.

I doubt I could find the article back, but I'm pretty sure I read that they've actually exported more tons of grain so far this year than they did in the same period last year.

“Orc propaganda”

I get the sense anything not developed in the State Dept/CIA information labs is “Orc propaganda”.

Yeah, you, Hillary Clinton and George Soros are all on the same side agreeing about the Evil Russian Orcs!

It’s not the evil Russians who can’t answer the question, “What is a woman?”

It’s not the evil Russians who are brainwashing our kids into sex-change operations at age 13.

It’s not the evil Russians who cut off our pipelines and oil drilling.

It’s not the evil Russians who kept baby formula off our shelves.

Etc. But keep parroting the Soros and Hillary talking points about Evil Russia.

FWIW, my prediction concerning China remains the same. The moment the Blinken Administration attempts to use Taiwan as a launching pad for US weapons, aimed at them, China will “invade”, exactly like happened to Ukraine by Russia.

At that point Americans will have to very rapidly learn to manufacture things they need, or very rapidly learn to go without. About the only things the US manufactures in abundance are fiat, threats, excuses, and imbeciles.

This is why the LGBTQ+ globo-homo commies running America in 2022 hate Russia. File it under “Things You Will Never See In The MSM.”

The New Russian Military Cathedral

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9KOCkjEjFhw&t=59s&ab_channel=OrthodoxShahada

Imagine the U.S. Army creating a new Military Cathedral. Never happen. But if it did, it would be dedicated to woke LGBTQ+, like Milly, “I want to understand white rage.”

Funny things is, these pseudo neocon acolytes won’t even recognize their reasoning error once Russia settles the war on their terms.

They’ll still live the fantasy of pax neoconnia.

It’s weird as hell. They actually believe/believed Ukraine would defeat the Russian army. And if not, that Ukraine had a moral case to drive the world into WWIII.

Not that I disagree, but curious why you say that.
