I'm hoping to see 20K artillery pieces destroyed by the end of the year. It seems like more have been inactivated now that Ukraine has plenty of artillery shells of their own. Also, the russians are emphasizing rocket artillery more and more now that they are running out of tubes.

WSJ reporting that Harris plans to gut Biden’s foreign policy & national security teams if she wins will be interesting. Replacing Sullivan, Blinken and Austin is a very big shakeup
— Blake Allen (@Blake_Allen13) July 23, 2024

This is normal. Though I'd keep Austin and Blinken. Will be glad to see Sullivan go.

Philip Gordon is Harris current National Security Advisor and well...

Philip Gordon: Obama Should Have Bombed Assad Over Chemical Weapons

So I'm feeling cautiously optimistic if Harris were to win that America would become less cowardly.

How's the Russian press reporting events in America? One paper today: “As for Russia’s interests, we have no reason to be sad about Biden exiting.” Also, incredible vitriol against Kamala Harris & hopes that a Trump win will enable “substantive Russia-US dialogue.” #ReadingRussia pic.twitter.com/uUzZK0djy3
