Whatever practical cooperation emerges from this week's summit between Russian President Vladimir Putin and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, their deepening relationship is aimed at sending their rivals a warning, analysts said.

Calling each other "comrade", the men toasted their friendship on Wednesday after Putin showed Kim around Russia's most modern space launch facility and they held talks alongside their defence ministers.

Stop 🛑 deflecting and answer my question!

"British-made Storm Shadow cruise missiles were used by Ukraine in an attack on the Ordzhonikidze shipyard in Sevastopol"

I assumed you'd prefer a Russian source.

Now your turn:

Did you believe the Macgregor Malarkey in March of 2022, or not?

[JonPreston]

Yes, MacGregor is a hero. Perhaps if you were a combat veteran like him you’d understand. Now for the third time; give us the top three reasons conservatives should cheer for Biden’s war

[Gunslingr3]

Yes

Why do you think MacGregor got it so wrong then? And why did you fall for it?

Now for the third time; give us the top three reasons conservatives should cheer for Biden’s war

You’ve never asked that before, but I have told you I don’t support American involvement in Ukraine, nor NATO expansion. Your problem is you conflate anyone with an objective analysis of Russia’s pathetic military performance to date in this conflict as somehow in favor of the conflict itself.

I’ve provided to links going back over two decades on this forum of my opposition to the neocons and their wars. Like I said, it’s obvious to me you don’t actually read links. One needn’t support the neocons to recognize that months of reversals on the frontline and shrinking Black Sea Fleet are indicative of what a paper tiger Putin heads up.

4th request

[JonPreston]

months of reversals on the frontline and shrinking Black Sea Fleet are indicative of what a paper tiger Putin heads up.

Link please.

[Gunslingr3]

months of reversals on the frontline

Link please.

Asked and answered:

shrinking Black Sea Fleet

Link please.

Asked and answered:

The Turks closed the Straits at the initiation of hostilities, forbidding any parties from adding ships to the Black Sea from outside, per their rights under the Montreux Convention of 1936.

This smoking hulk used to be the flagship of the Black Sea Fleet, but now it is a marine habitat about 150 ft below the waves. That's near the limit for recreational dives, so you probably won't want to check it out:

[JonPreston]

Ok, since you won’t answer me I’ll make it easier; please name two (2) reasons why conservatives should support Biden’s war? Thanks 😊

[Gunslingr3]

It's like me asking you to provide three reason you won't stop beating your wife.

I already told you I don't support the war, ergo, I can offer you no reasons for conservatives to support the war.

What part of that confuses you?

You keep conflating objective analysis of Russian failures to be some kind of support for American involvement in Ukraine. The notions are wholly seperate. The Russian Special Military Olympiad has been a disaster that has cost Russia enormous war fighting material.

They're sending T-55s to the front line because they're short on artillery tubes and need fire support.

Can you appreciate how pathetic it is to be dusting off 70 year old tanks to keep your invasion going?

[JonPreston]

Ok then, why not tell us when you first became attracted to neoconservativism?

[Gunslingr3]

Ok then, why not tell us when you first became attracted to neoconservativism?

Ok then, why not tell us when you first started beating your wife?

I guess reading comprehension isn't your strong point. I've previously provided you links going back two decades on this forum with me opposing neoconservatives. But you don't actually read links, we've established that already.

There is nothing in my posting history you can quote showing that I support neocon adventurism. So you just lie over and over again, and try to conflate the observation of Russian military ineptitude with neoconservatism.

It's dumb, but there you go again...
