The stupidity keeps building, I can already hear it.

"Ukraine is now attacking our oil Russia has promised to give us so we must sanction them/retaliate"

Or something equally dumb.

Hey, no shame in trying to unterstand your enemy. Since it's been written by a ghostwriter it might even contain coherent sentences.

Yea, I’ve read Mein Kampf (not in public though) to see what I was missing.

I couldn't get past the first chapter. It's not that I disagreed, it's that I had no idea what the fuck her was saying.

It's somewhere in my parents basement. My dad has read it for that reason. I would feel dirty just opening the book lol

No reason to feel dirty for reading it as long as you don't agree with it.

But it's not worth reading unless you need to for some reason (like studying history and/or politics). It's badly written racist drivel, you're not gonna get any insights out of it and you won't learn anything you didn't already know.

But what good is there in trying to understand your enemy's ghostwriter?

I used that book cover to hide my porn magazines but people looked at me like I was viewing porn in public!

Send Western Union additional $10M for transfer fee. Then go buy $50M in Apple Gift cards and send them numbers to my tech support guy Sanjay. The oil is coming soon.

Bets on a false-flag detonation and blaming Ukraine?

This was the first thing that came to mind. Then I thought, Ukraine is going to get blamed anyway, I hope they can keep that boat from making the trip one way or another

he knows how to make him squel like one. just show the files to him everytime he steps out of line.

Surely one day Donny's dementia will have him reach the stage where he simply shouts, "Fake news" at Putin, and refuse to believe he could ever be compromised?

Hopefully, Ukraine has drones waiting to take out any Russian...or heck, American, oil freighters in the region. Trump is a traitor, and any military or civilian forces who obeys his will, are also traitors. He has ignored Congress, declaring wars and deciding international relations without our authority.

He and his kind are Dogey Confederates, and have renounced being American by their actions.

That raises an interesting logistics question - is it worth making cheaper per unit naval drones, or better to just scale up quadcopters and focus on attacking oil production?

4

Probably a case of diminishing returns. There is only so many observation and attack units in a given theater that you can deploy, before the enemy starts catching onto the idea of what your strategy is, what numbers you can field, and begin placing assets of their own.

Personally, I think the ratio should be higher for quadcopters and other land-oriented drone units. The ocean is big and usually empty, with the odd concentration of highly valuable targets. If I were to decide how to approach things, I would make the naval drones relatively few, high quality, and stealthy, interdicting key zones of travel and transit. Land territories have to deal with much greater randomness, so you need a greater mix of disposable assets.

its also 1-2 hrs worth of diesel for the us, the other week was half a day.

Yeah, raise the price by dollars then make the worst deal possible to give a few cent discount and expects everyone to applaud this genius move.

If bad fuel gets into vehicles and they stall, some stations get shut down and prices rise because of local shortages and people everywhere else panic buying making things worse.

Absolutely no one on Earth could have predicted this outcome. We're all truly shocked and appalled.

Not like it's going to make a blind-ass bit of difference to anyone except Puto.

Couple of scumbag murderers and no integrity, no honor among thieves and all that.

Till after the midterms. lol. I mean really it's about 1 day's worth of usage by the US. Mostly this is about getting a cash infusion for Puti's war against Ukraine. smh. Remember those signs from MAGA, "I'd rather be a Russian than a Democrat." ? Pepperidge Farms remembers.

Its like trying to fart on queue amidst a blizzard. When it eventually makes it's way out, it'll be unnoticed.

if Putin is USA president does that make AMeircans Russians now?

Part of the deal is Ukraine stopping attacks on Russian oil targets. So obviously Trump hasn't done his part of the deal, but when does he?

What is this elusive deal that sees Ukraine stopping its attacks on oil infrastructure that you are talking about?

It's the one where Trump announced that Russia and Ukraine had agreed a ceasefire on each other's energy infrastructure. A ceasefire that Russia and Ukraine both immediately denied existed or was in effect. When a reporter asked Trump about the energy-infrastructure ceasefire and where/how it had been negotiated, he literally said something to the effect of, "It exists because I said it exists, I just declared it."

8

Yes, but that "cease fire" was not part of the energy deal Trump made with Putin. So tying the two together is inaccurate.
