Missiles and anti-missile weapons, all for a losing cause, bu both sides.

Ukraine and Russia should call all hostilities off, and go back to their situations from before the war started. That’s going to be the outcome anyway, so, just face the facts and call it quits.

More please. Unable to make any more progress on the ground, Putin now plans to defeat Ukraine by destroying its' power grid from the air. This has to be stopped.

As popular as socialism is now, isn’t interesting that greed is pushing the world into a nuclear war?

Why now? We could have given them this earlier. One conclusion to draw from this is that Ukraine is losing. We have to keep it going.

Another is we haven’t reached “the end of history” unless God desires it.

“The V-1 was history’s first mass-produced cruise missile. Each could carry a 1-ton warhead nearly 250 km (160 miles) at a cruising speed of 650 km/h (400 mph).

“Each V-1 cost about 5,000 Reichsmarks or $2,000 in 1944 (that’s the equivalent of about $27,000 today).The 21-foot-long flying bombs were made mostly from sheet metal and plywood. Each took about 350 labour-hours to produce. Concentration camp inmates and slave labourers toiling at the Gerhard Fieseler Werke plant in Kassel did most of the assembly work.”

“eventually radar-controlled batteries and proximity-fuse shells became available. By the end of the summer, three-quarters of V-1s launched against Britain were being brought down by flak.”

“The five-foot long, 93-pound rockets were fired from the ground via large steel racks consisting of multiple adjacent launch rails....designed to be bolted onto the back of ordinary utility trucks.... Pre-war testing showed that just four such trucks could unleash the firepower equal to 75 field guns onto a 1.5 square-mile patch of ground in less than half a minute.”

Israel stopped using theirs after the Iranian missile attack because they suck.

So Putin was/is too weak to knock off Ukraine therefore he must be fought with every dead Ukrainian and US taxpayer dollar before he gets to his real objective the Atlantic.
