On Russia, the heads of MI6 and the CIA said Russian intelligence was waging a "reckless campaign of sabotage across Europe".

They did not list examples but there has been a spate of mysterious sabotage and arson attacks on infrastructure in the UK, Germany and in the Baltics.

US intelligence also reportedly foiled an alleged Russian plot to assassinate the chief executive of Germany's leading arms manufacturer.

As well as physical sabotage, Sir Richard and Mr Burns warned of the threat posed to Western democracies by Russian information operations.

Russia needs to pay for these actions and for everything that it has done in Ukraine.  How long after the war do you predict that Russia will have to have sanctions?

Trump wants to push USA's economy with lifting sanctions against their biggest enemies just to say "see, the economy is on the rise with me".

That USA's biggest enemies profit much more from it, will be able to build much stronger military, more able to attack Europe and in Iran's case especially Israel? I guess he doesn't give a shit because that won't happen from one to the next day but after his term already ended again.

He also doesn't care about USA in 20 or 50 years and If USA can stay the World Power. It's just about him and his few years to let those look like he's the man.

Report on the increase of various types of munitions from 2022 to today in terms of what the United States has made. There's been a big increase in everything from 155 mm shells to GMLRS to AIM-9 sidewinder missiles. The nations allied with Ukraine have several times the industrial capacity that Russia has. The long war can't be won unless the west suddenly decides to stop the aid. The increase in munitions is a big help, because more orders for these means that more will ( or will be able to) fall into Ukrainian hands sooner or later.

Boom! So, Ukraine has developed a glide bomb of its own, however Ukraine's is guided by GPS and has a range from drop point to landing of 40 miles horizontal because it uses rockets to guide it to target. The article mentions that since this comes from Ukraine, that they can theoretically make as many as they want, once factories have gotten in gear. And since it is from Ukraine, there won't be any restrictions from sackless biden who really needs to get tough and take some of that old man testosterone therapy.

An Iranian lawmaker has confirmed media reports about Tehran's delivery of ballistic missiles to Russia, but downplayed threats from Ukraine and its Western allies to impose "heavy" costs on Iran.

When asked whether sending ballistic missiles to Russia might lead to further sanctions or trigger the so-called "snapback" mechanism against Iran, the lawmaker replied, "It can't get any worse than it already is. We give missiles to Hezbollah, Hamas, and Hashd al-Shaabi, so why not to Russia?"

"We sell weapons and receive dollars. We circumvent sanctions through our partnership with Russia. We import soybeans, corn, and other goods from Russia. Europeans sell arms to Ukraine. NATO has entered Ukraine, so why shouldn’t we support our ally by sending missiles and drones to Russia?" Ardestani said.

Biden and Jake's Master Class.

What happens when you spend the past 2 years being afraid of Russia's "red-lines" and showing it very publicly, what happens when all you give is "thoughts and prayers" when your ally gets bombed daily. Your enemies start to no longer fear you because they know that you're petrified at the thought of "escalation"

New video from Kings and Generals about the War in Ukraine and Russia in the second half of August:

Sounds very alarmist, but in the last days the offensive towards Pokrovsk has lost a lot of steam, so it's a bit more stable than it seems at first.

Why are the escalation managers in America and Germany so fucking stupid. It's happening more on purpose, Russia is testing our response because we continue to do absolutely fuck all except piss out pants at the thought of escalation so no shit they're going to take advantage of that, Russia could fly their goddamn missiles right through the centre of NATO countries and America would scream "BUT THE ESCALATION, WE MUST DO NOTHING IN RESPONSE" It's so fucking pathetic. JFC.

2.5 years into the conflict and NATO still can't defend its borders from repeated Russian missile and drone violations in Poland, Romania, Latvia, etc.

Russian tanks are starting to use rubber mats as protection against drones. But Ukraine could send a thermite drone against that and get the bbq going, that tank would go up in no time. Or use two drones in coordination, one to burn the mat and blow it to heaven
