I’m sure the ‘highly advanced’ fifty year old T-72 tanks can easily stop a Hellfire missile.

This will lead to an unpredictable escalation in the war, because these drones can be remotely piloted in the USA or western Europe.

There would be no plausible deniability that they aren’t.

This would be a direct attack by USA military on Russian forces.

Why is this overt action not an act of war?

Those drones can be piloted from ANYWHERE in the world. Plausible Deniability quickly goes out the window.

“Sell?”

Barely creative accounting.

Come on, man.

Ukraine is the biggest money laundering operation in the world.

Iran will love these since so much of what we shipped to Ukraine is ending up on markets in the Middle East.

A reasonable person would ask why is biden so fixated on Ukraine? he’s giving them billions of our money. He’s giving them weapons. What does he owe them for? What do they have on him that they will release if he doesn’t cough up our money?

Well, the Russians are free to call it that, but they would not be able to respond to it in any meaningful way, so they would just embarrass themselves even more on the world stage if they did.

It is.

That’s why the Pentagon will veto it.

This is America’s most advanced tech. No way will the Pentagon allow it into the hands of Ukraine and no way will the US escalate at this level.

There's no way the Russians could prove that, and even if they did, going after US or NATO assets would be suicide for Russian forces in Ukraine and the Black Sea.

These things are no joke. Are we bundling the hellfire missiles? Are we going to operate them for the Ukes?
