Yahoo got a problem with the English spelling???
Maybe Lockheed stock is a buy at this point. Although Trump wants to give away the technology to a corrupt government.
Wee gots know editurs.
If you stand behind de fence, you wont feel so defenseless?
Who should get our remaining missiles? Ukraine? Israel? Gulf countries? US bases?
Russia attacks and kills civilians, Ukraine attacks Russian infrastructure.

American arms for America only.
It has been mostly the opposite, going back to 2014. And usually when Ukrainian civilians get killed it's a Ukrainian interceptor falling back down on a marketplace or daycare, though the headlines always blame Russia.
It doesn't make sense for either side to attack non-military targets; it just creates a backlash and hardens resistance, while achieving nothing related to battlefield goals. That's why the recent campaign of Ukrainian attacks on Wildberry warehouses smacks of desperation. Causing delays in shipments of consumer goods to customers just creates a minor inconvenience for most people. It's like they are desperately trying to "bring the war home" to Russian civilians, but is that really the best target they can come up with for their scarce drones?
No I don’t. Russia attacks civilian targets while the Ukraine goes after Russian infrastructure.
Russians have been targeting civilians with FPV drones in the city of Kherson for years and proudly posting hundreds of videos showing the attacks.
UN Commission concludes that Russian armed forces’ drone attacks against civilians in Kherson Province amount to crimes against humanity of murder
Russian armed forces have committed murder of civilians as crimes against humanity using drones, concludes the Independent International Commission of Inquiry on Ukraine in a new report.
From July 2024, Russian forces have recurrently killed and injured civilians in an area stretching over more than 100 kilometres along the right bank of the Dnipro River in Kherson Province. The drone attacks have been widespread, systematic and conducted as part of a coordinated state policy, the report said.
The attacks followed a regular pattern and the same modus operandi, demonstrating that they were planned, directed, and organized. There is no information suggesting that Russian military and civilian authorities have taken any steps to prevent or stop the commission of the crimes.
Nearly 150 civilians have been killed and hundreds more injured as a result of the drone attacks in Kherson city and 16 localities in the Ukrainian-controlled areas, according to official sources. Victims were men, women, and children, mostly men. Civilians were targeted in various circumstances, as they stepped out to carry out their daily activities whether on foot or in any type of vehicle.
The drone operators used video feeds transmitted in real time by the cameras embedded in the drones, focused on targets that were visibly civilian, and dropped explosives on them. Hundreds of these video feeds have been regularly disseminated on Russian Telegram channels, some of them with thousands of subscribers, displaying the crimes, as well as text posts announcing further attacks.
The circumstances of the attacks, the videos, and the explicit threatening text posts demonstrate that Russian armed forces and those supporting them have committed acts or threats of violence for the primary purpose of spreading terror among the civilian population, in violation of international humanitarian law. Referring to Russian soldiers, a senior health professional of a hospital in Kherson said: "They are simply chasing and hunting civilians who are on their way to work or walking their dogs. They drop explosives from drones like it is a video game.”
The recurrent drone attacks, the widely disseminated videos showing them, and numerous posts explicitly exhorting the population to leave suggest a coordinated state policy, on the part of the Russian authorities, to force the population of Kherson Province to leave the area. The Commission therefore concludes that Russian armed forces may have committed the crime against humanity of forcible transfer of population.
The Commission examined over 300 publicly available videos of attacks and over 600 text posts on Telegram channels and, where possible, identified victims of these attacks. It interviewed 91 persons from the areas affected by drone attacks, including victims, witnesses, local authorities and medical personnel.
