It is alarming how President Trump is calling for ceasefire talks while the U.S. government is simultaneously providing Ukraine with either fighter jets or M9 Reaper Drones to fly against Russia.
The stunning image captured in Arizona shows a Ukrainian Antonoff 225 the biggest transport plane, operated by Ukrainian transport company, being loaded with either M9 Reaper Drones (see picture below) or F-16/35 fighter jets.
In the background left (red tractor flatbed) you can see either an M9 Reaper drone or U.S. fighter ready for transport (white wrapped). Toward the rear of the Antonoff cargo plane you can see another (black tractor flatbed). Both aerial war assets are being loaded into the Antonoff 225 transport, and there are likely more not visible in the picture.
.

Some users on Twitter have said the cargo looks more like F-16 or F-35 fighter jets; that’s entirely possible. However, when you look closely at the profile and the component parts visible near the forklift it seems more likely to be M9 Reaper Drone component parts (look closely) and see below for comparative assembled imagery.

According to user account “DD Geopolitics” on Twitter, “the cargo plane is now en route to Rzeszów, Poland, after a stop at Portsmouth International Airport in New Hampshire.”
What are your thoughts on the U.S. providing drones or fighter craft while President Trump is trying to organize a ceasefire.
Keep in mind, whatever they are – Russia is obviously aware these ongoing transports are taking place.

I would require proof that the photo was taken in the past few days and not last year, granted the flight plan does line up but I trust nothing at this point and will not spend emotional capital on anything not 100% backed by facts.
Then you’re going to be in limbo the rest of your life because NO ONE tells the truth, and if anything can be believed, NEITHER DO YOU.
I agree with Silas. This could be an elaborate troll attempt to discredit President Trump and CTH.
Ironically , Both you and Daniel are correct .
( or coincidently ? )
Correction: not Daniel. He should go away
These were captured by Laura Loomer or her team… they are doing yeoman’s work in the area of citizen journalism… I trust what she posts more than what I see from James O’Keefe or any of the regular cadre of #MeToo right-wing grifters on X
Loomer, one of the people along with Mark Levin behind getting rid of Lt Col Dan Davis as a deputy to work with Tulsi Gabbard? That Loomer? She can be a nut-job and sometimes spot on. Looks more to me that she works for Israel, though. Davis is not anti-Israel but does not support it’s attempt to push us into war with Iran or their Gaza operation.
I don’t see a word about Loomer or her “team” in SD’s article.
Where does it say that?
You are loading fighter jets on a transport plane? Why?
They can fly by themselves for 1.500 miles and be refueled on the ground or midair.
My guess would be, since they are coming out of Tucson, they’re being shipped from the boneyard at Davis-Monthan. Probably to be used for parts. The AN-225 can be leased/rented any anyone that needs the lift capacity. NASA has used it.
The date can’t be real since the only flyable AN-225 was destroyed by the Russians. and the second remaining partially completed plane has not yet been completed.
There’s a few differences in the aircraft in the pic and of older pics of the 225. Not sure if it was rebuilt a little different or if it’s a completely different plane.
The plane in the picture is not the one you’re thinking of.The destroyed plane had a longer wing,six engines and twin vertical stabilizers to allow for clearance when transporting the Russian shuttle.
My two cents:
The black tractor is pulling a spread-axle flatbed trailer, which is 48′ long. Even with the nose removed, an F-16 would still completely fill the trailer deck, and that’s not what we see here. So I would guess that these are drones.
You may be right. The image’s fuselage seems a little ‘fat’ for a drone;
But that’s my uninformed opinion.
Whether manned or unmanned… IF these photos were taken in the past few days, that seems to indicate that the administration’s right hand does not know what the left hand is doing.
The President faces so many challenges.
How he manages not to go stark raving crazy with anger shows how very mature and stable he really is.
Whatever the case may be, these birds are nowhere near flight ready…
The nose cone usually contains all the avionics which no matter how “plug and play” friendly the vehicle assembly may be…
It’ll take some good techs to get them mission capable of flying on their own.
In God We Trust
Trust God
Fear not
Does it really matter which one is being given …..The point is, this does not help PT’s efforts towards peace and actually is , usurping his power as CIC.
You would be wrong.
Top pics from Sundance, bottom 2 pics are known F-16 hulls being trailered.
The aircraft are F16s. You can tell by the shape of the fuselage
Another way to tell is wheel height of the Tractor which is about 40 inches. The plane is 2 wheels high. One wheel = 40 inches. 40 times 2 is 80, which is about 6 feet 6 inches. If you see the Man next to the Drone you can see the Drone fuselage is 1/2 his height instead of close his height of about 6 feet for an average man.
There is no engine in the fuselage,that might account for the shorter length.The thing that made me think f-16 fuselage is the flat area along the side toward the tail that the f-35 and drones don’t seem to have.
Is POTUS the Commander -in-Chief or not?
Does the deep state operate on it’s own, no matter who is President, or not?
Looks that way doesn’t it….Unless this is fake it is hard to believe that PT wouldn’t know. If he didn’t know , he sure knows now.
If True, that they are running the show then the President has a couple of options. One thing that screams out loudly…the 2 agencies must be destroyed, never to “be” again, or remade for the purpose of serving the country and the Executive Branch.
In cases of small deliveries – yes, CIA can do wanders; large deliveries – not so much.
Yes. And I trust hin more than I trust undated unattributed photos
I simply wonder when President Trump is going to wake up. It’s instances like this right under his nose (or should be) that show he is as unprepared as he was the first term in spite of the good he has done. Even if he doesn’t know someone that works for h I’m should and tell him.
Adam is that you?
Are you giving us some low grade stirring, for some comic relief?
Are you smoking meth?
Oh puh-lease. If you’re gonna make up lies, try one that’s remotely believable. Helping NATO equip Ukraine for self-protection and as a deterrent isn’t on the same planet as starting a war. That is 100% a BOZO war (Biden, Obama, Zelensky & Operatives, with operatives being the UN, NATO, US defense contractors, and politician kickbacks).
BOZO war….. priceless!
How, exactly, did he start the war?
Don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out of the treehouse .
Been here along time Jeff. Didn’t realize you were the gatekeeper. Most know how strongly i believe in our president. He came in this time seemingly more prepared but I do not think he sees what he or his staff should sometime. Don’t want that to be the downfall it was last time. But don’t worry about the door and my ass…your not qualified.
You too
Is that you Condoleezza, Samantha or Victoria trying to deflect/point fingers again to cover up for Barack, Joe and the CIA/State Department?
Just think about Pete Hegseth, is he the head of the DOD? Why are they desperate to take pete out? ….If he knew…wouldn’t he tell PT? Would Hegseth allow this? How could the IC be so brazen? Who is telling the IC to do this? Again we must understand who is in control of the IC? If we take “care” of the “Head”, how ever the CIC chooses to accomplish that, then we take away the IC’s ability to move forward with their destruction of the world order. This may be the only option that would be lasting to have world peace. But first thing first, taking control of our own IC.
I don’t disagree but from Kiev to Washington all I feel is IC unbridled.
What do you kow about what the Presudent and/or his staff know/think about these photos? Seems to me you are assuming or just an everyday troll. If you are assuming, remember thhis old acronym: ASSUME?
By Treaty drawn up by Biden the USA is obligated to provide a certain amount of weapons and arms to Ukraine.
As long as North Korea, Iran supply Russia, the USA and others can supply Ukraine. Simple as that.
While the USA had negotiators in Russia, the Russian military launched a huge drone and missile attack on Ukraine-killing 70 civilians in one apartment building alone.
So lets not sit and read pro-Russian stories and not see both sides of an issue
Yeah? They killed 70 civilians? And who told you that? I’ve been following this war very closely for the last three years and haven’t heard this. Where did this massacre happen? I understand they killed 70 NATO officers who were using it for a staging area. HELLO? Is there anybody in there?
You are wrong, Ukraine bombs their people and places all the time, they are masters of propaganda. Just recently their admitted what they previously denied multiple times, they shot down the Russian jets returning Ukraine prisoners of war. See info below. Believing anything Zelensky and others say, is foolish. They have lied to Trumps face many times. They are controlled by rogue CIA that will do anything to stop Trump from settling the peace agreement.

Ukraine confirms its own POWs were on plane it blasted out of sky
An Il-76 carrying 65 Ukrainian servicemen destined for an exchange was shot down by Kiev in 2024, according to Moscow
A senior official in Kiev has confirmed that Ukrainian prisoners of war were among those killed when a Russian Il-76 military transport plane was downed in the border Belgorod Region in January 2024. The 65 service members were to be included in one of the routine prisoner exchanges between the two countries.
The acknowledgement was made by Deputy Interior Minister Leonid Timchenko, who in an interview with the Ukrainian outlet Censor.net on Thursday discussed in detail the process of handling and identifying the remains of Ukrainian soldiers, as well as their return by Russia.
“Let me explain by drawing an example: when we receive a package and see that there are body parts in it, we understand that we are talking about the remains of more than one body,” he said.
“Remember the situation with the downed IL-76, which had about 60 prisoners of war on board? Over 500 [body parts] were returned from that plane,” Timchenko noted, adding that the investigators’ job in this case is to collect and identify DNA from each piece.
The crash occurred on January 24, 2024, near the village of Yablonovo in Russia’s Belgorod Region, killing all 74 people on board. According to the Russian Defense Ministry, the aircraft was transporting 65 Ukrainian POWs, meant for an imminent exchange, along with six crew members and three Russian guards. Russian President Vladimir Putin at the time said that he “doesn’t know” and “does not understand” why Ukraine took down the plane, later suggesting that it was an accident.
Ukraine initially did not deny responsibility for the incident and also confirmed that an exchange was impending, but said it had no information about who was on the plane. It also argued that the attack was legitimate since it was a military transport plane. Ukrainian media also claimed at the time that the Il-76 was transporting air defense missiles.
Months later, Ukrainian officials began receiving human remains of those who died in the crash and concluded that their DNA profiles mostly matched those of the captives’ relatives.
In February 2024, a New York Times report cited US officials as saying that the plane was likely shot down by a Patriot missile system operated by Ukrainian forces, in line with the Russian Defense Ministry’s statement that it had detected two Ukrainian missile launches shortly before the crash.
(https://www.rt.com/russia/616283-ukraine-confirms-pows-downed-russian-plane/
The Military Summary Channel discussed the Belgorod shoot-down when it happened. Dima was saying it was French ” advisors ” who targeted the IL-76. The Russians found out where the French ‘advisors’ were staying and bombed their hotel with a missile. Later when the French government sent people to pick up the bodies of the ‘advisors’, the Russians bombed their hotel too killing a bunch more of them.
Funny, that lack of MSM news coverage of this.
Where and what sites are you using? That could be the problem.
The BOZOs (Biden, Obama, Zelensky & Operatives) intentionally provoked Russia with threats to their national security and attacks on Russian citizens that were caught inside Ukraine when random borders were created after the fall of the Soviet Union. The Ukraine war had purpose…money laundering for the BOZOs, to keep Russia looking like an aggressor so America would keep funding NATO, and to put stress on Russia. As facts unfold and the BOZOs are exposed, no thinking person is supporting Ukraine.
Couldn’t our wonderful representation in Congress declare the treaty null and void because of all the new revelations on how our support has been used? PT should demand this of congress then shut down all support. PT should have an agreement with Putin on what Putin will do after this is implemented. JMO on one option.
I don’t recall the Senate approving such a treaty.
Me neither, and I would have heard it from my remarkably accurate sources who challenge the fake msm narratives. Someone sounds like a paid influencer for the CIA. Or they’re a NAFO bot.
Biden never needed a treaty. Passed out billioms in dollars and military equipment and werapons like Halloween candy.
You really believe that MSM drivel? 70 Ukrainian civilians may have been killed, but I doubt Russia did it. More likely Zelensky’s folks. It’s like the headlines you read about Israel bombing a playground and hospital……then a week later there’s a tiny mention that there had been rocket launchers and, by the way, the secondary explosions spread to the hospital basement.
What treaty is this? I think it is time to walk away. We’ve been supplying, training Ukraine doing military exercises for over a decade to prepare to trap Russia into a war. The globalists wanted it and for a long time. It’s in Zbig’s book to break it up into smaller countries and plunder its rich and vast natural resources.
Russia attacked a legitimate military target in a building housing the Ukrainian and nato military for a strategic war meeting. I did not get this from Russia, but a veteran CIA and State Dept intel analyst who does excellent work debunking the chronic lies from our govt and media. The Russians do not intentionally target civilians—the Ukronazis do that. The Ukes have used civilian apartment buildings to place their artillery during battles. When Ukes capture a village, they go door to door slaughtering civilians. They also did this in Kursk committing war crimes and atrocities. I’ve seen videos of them tossing the bodies in mass graves. This is not Russian propaganda. You sound like you are one of the 22% who still believe in network or mainstream cable news.
“Both parties deprecated war but one of them would make war rather than let the nation survive, and the other would accept war rather than let it perish. And the war came.”
Best lines from the best American speech ever, the Second Inaugural where Lincoln captures the strange inevitability of history’s great conflicts. There’s never been any doubt in my mind that WW3 is coming. Sure, it’s a bankers war like all the rest and the end of a great credit expansion cycle. But there’s a supernatural ‘Ephesians 6:12’ dimension at work as well. Not even Trump can stop it.
You would be correct if and a big if …..if this is in God’s timing?
It’s not an AN-225… I believe it’s a 124. The 225 was destroyed a couple years ago.
Also, the 225 had 3 engines per wing – this one has 2 per wing.
*Antonov 124
The only 225 in existence was destroyed in the war
Citizen journalist?
DS asset?
Nice hardware, I’d love to have them drop that f16 off at my place.
Putin had enough of Zelensky long ago because he is not the ruler of this mess and we all know it. He is a bundler for whatever the cause. America, as all wars are started, started this. Remember we are the police of this world, nothing happens we don’t allow. It’s why everyone hates us and we are so saturated in criminals. “Power corrupts” and we gots lots. By the way, it’s why our own nations people hate our country.
Why did Putin not adhere to ceasefire when he “gave his word” (which is reported none of us know the truth the media will lie to make Trump look bad.).
The very blaring fact the media and democrats hate Trump is better than E-verify of who Trump is and what he is doing, same as Musk.
Democrats are not democrats, they are communists Marxists and their followers are drunk on the koolaide, it is perceived power not power. They want that seat at the big table. Remember Luke 14:8, don’t sit at the place of honor, there may be someone more important than you. Democrats biggest failure is all wrapped in that verse. Excuse me all of us seem to have humility issues at times, blinding. Myself, I only find my reality in Gods word, my perception is a wee clearer. It’s why people run so hard away from Christ, we are disgusting creatures in heavens light.
all should have known on this site that it is all a BS deal when he chose pam bondi for AG.
Agreed.
When I saw that, I knew it was over before it began.
Jeff Sessions in a dress.
….And here we are.
I will say this…If PT doesn’t get his team to do something about these Judges especially Roberts, then he looks weak as a President.
If something drastic would have been done by the House (impeachment) at first sign of insurrection/sedition, then it wouldn’t have snowballed to what we have now. The perceived weakness of PT and his DOJ, FBI, have created this monster.
It too, has to be obvious at this point, PT has little support from Congress. PT is being left with little options, and in my opinion, harsh ones at that. This is the other monster he has to deal with. He must have visible support from the majority in order to deal with this mess. They clearly have him backed up against the wall.
At this point, I have NO idea what point the GOP serves… Seriously.
They barely even pretend to oppose the left, anymore.
We clearly have a uni-party in control of this government, that opposes Trump AND the American people.
I have commented for many years now, that we are NOT ‘voting our way out of’ THIS.
Serious discussions amongst like minded people on how to save this republic, need to be had.
You do know that s8nce Germany has become increasingly hostile to the US, Poland and Hungary were being considered for the relocation of military bases and equipment for NATO protection of Europe….right?
Then US military transports would be used. Not one flying the flag of Ukraine.
not the 225…she had 6 engines
I think we need some kind of leverage in negotiations. Putin is clearly wining and cannot be stopped by Ukraine. it Trump want a piece deal there has to be the carrot and the stick…
upsetting.
When is Trump going to wake up and smell the coffee? is my first thought.
Troubling, but looking on the bright side — maybe the deadline for Z is going to be a literal one…
I believe that location is the Pinal Air Park off of I-10 between Phoenix and Tucson (south of Red Rock and north of Marana). It is a long term commercial airline aircraft storage and dismantling facility. Note that there is also a large Arizona National Guard facility onsite. The Google Map labelling for the site has changed over the years. From what I recall the CIA had/currently has some involvement with respect to this facility. Regarding the wrapped aircraft on the trailer bed, an F-16 has a single large intake below the mid point of the canopy whereas the F-35 has an intake at the root of each wing. That stated, the aircraft looks like an F-35. However, even though the transport aircraft is Ukranian based it has been contracted out many times to transport military items, as in photos, to numerous points on the globe.
Very scary if we’re actually sending F-35s to UKR.
Who’s gonna fly them????
(Hint: ain’t gonna be no You-Crane-ne-an).
And… who’s gonna keep track of where it goes???
There’s a lot of technology in those aircraft; both Russia and China would live to have an intact F-35 to reverse-engineer (if they haven’t already).
As I stated just because the company that operates the heavy lift aircraft is Ukrainian it does mean that the cargo is going to Ukraine. We do have different fighter aircraft in operation globally. Also we have overseas drone bases (such as Ft. Lemonier in Djibouti and the such).
I didn’t think they had anyone able to fly any of our aircraft.
No, it looks nothing like an F35
Tough to tell because the wrap on the bottom is pulled forward and not form fitting. However, any shipment of these and similar/like items to Ukraine for use in combat against Russia would be immediate escalation negating any peace negotiations. Note this could very well be nothing more that a replacement shipment to US operational forces.
Staged
and Fake War
F16 Fuselage
Military aid under Biden was used to kill Russians, launder money, and attempt to take down Putin, while never attempting to even talk.
Military aid under Trump is used as a negotiating stick to convince Putin that peace is the better option with negotiations as the primary focus.
“That’s a nice little bit of Russian speaking Ukrainian territory you grabbed there Puti Put, be a shame if something happened causing you to lose it after all this.”
Right, we’re gonna get in a shooting war with Russia over some disputed Ukrainian territory to appease Z?
The war is lost – Russia has won. We have no leverage. Putin was provoked, NATO & Z FAFO. Just stop the dying.
Definately F-16s.
The cargo plane is identified incorrectly. It is an Antonov 124. The lone-surviving Antonov 225 was destroyed by the Russians in the war. The 225 had 6 engines.
More likely than not F-16s IMO…
Just a couple of comments. One, I am almost certain that the picture is of an F-16 with the wings, vertical stabilizer, horizontal stabilizer and nose radar radome removed.
Second is that it looks like the pictures were probably taken at the Davis Montham AFB aircraft “boneyard” north of Tucson which is a restricted area. If somebody got close enough to take those pictures then it’s only because somebody wanted the public to see them. So the question is “why?”.
Finally, the “flight plan” is likely faked. There is virtually no chance that the departure airport was the Tucson civilian airport.
The why, is to make Russia believe Trump would do this! Fortunately we’ll hear a report soon on why this is BS. Trump would never stop the peace process.
Russia knows everything that comes and goes and would never jump to conclusions on pictures. It’s too vital to the U.S. to have Russia as our ally, which they naturally are. The DS hates Trump as much as they hate Russia.
Security at DMAFB was very weak when I was flying in and out of there. Once Regina Romero became mayor of Tucson and decriminalized everything, Pantano Wash had literally thousands of homeless, vagrant, illegal aliens, and assorted criminals living up and down it. And Pantano Wash……flows alongside the base perimeter. It wasn’t just an incursion here and there, we are talking about encampments of 50+ people with tents and huts in the brush…deep inside the base. People living in some of the boneyard planes.
Of course, removing anything valuable. I cringe to think of how a hostile foreign power could weaponize those conditions.
I thikk this whole deal was a oax. Maybe SD is running a Site Gullibility Test.
That’s a really big airplane. Imagine, if it was full of beer.
Also, just for the sake of accuracy, that is not an Antonov AN-225. That appears to be an Antonov AN-124. Not as big as the AN-225 it is still a huge, heavy lift airplane.
Is it possible the person that took the picture, changed the dates on the pictures and this was done while Bidan was there? Sounds like propaganda or maybe the rogue CIA managed to do this with the DS.
I don’t believe PDJT would blow up the diplomatic and economic related relationships would destroy that. Trump knows the whole story.
The Europeans have been intent on sabotaging Trump’s peace deal.
I also don’t believe it because he knows MAGA would hate this and he’d lose a lot of support.
This is a scam until forensic photographers can investigate the original film.
If it’s true, is it possible Trump had no idea the DS in DOD did this with Hegseth not being aware. There is an absolute war on Hegseth, and he can’t know everything happening there. Maybe another battle to eliminate him
I won’t believe it, even it’s proved Trump approved it. Perhaps he gave the opposite order and someone in the WH, changed his orders.
If this is going on despite PT efforts towards peace then something drastic has to happen. This is insurrection/sediction whatever you want to call it. The President has lost control as CIC over his own military to the IC.
Pete Hegseth should take strong actions to purge those in the military who are going along with the IC. Then the President should implement the Insurrection Act and use the military to shut down the IC. At some point the two intelligence agencies need to be dismantled quickly.
Of course this is just my opinion, but if what Sundance suspects is happening is happening, then this is serious enough to warrant serious action. I believe PT wants to avoid this kind of turmoil and division but under the current circumstance I do not see any other way for him to gain back control. I welcome some schooling. Maybe I don’t see the forest for the trees.
It’s an F-16. This sucks. Cut all money and support to Ukraine. USA out of NATO and let Europe just disintegrate.
And HOW would PT and WHAT would PT gain by lying?
our military and its current leadership aside from Hegseth and his patriots hate what Trump stands for, and they hate us. when base commanders failed to post the pictures of the president and the vice president and the Secretary of Defense on their chain of command wall, We have a huge problem.
How do we know the Antonoff is being loaded?
These could be aircraft being returned to the US after Ukrainian ‘technicians’ ruined the air frames.
It’s an AN-124 and F-16 fuselage. AN-225 has three engines per wing, not two, and a totally different empennage. You can easily stud three, maybe even four F-16s into an AN-124. Sloppy recognizance Sundance.
“Stuff”
I just sent this article to President Trump. I hope someone trustworthy reads it.
Was at Pease today (around 10 am) dropping The Mrs off for a Florida trip and could see on to the flight line. No Antonov but, apparently it came in after I left.
MQ9 Reaper usually ships in a “casket”.
The only An-225 ever built was famously destroyed with in the first few days of the Ukraine war.
not a drone. definitely fighter aircraft, if you look at the front nose of drone compared to the nose of the fighter on the flatbed it is substantially different. The nose of the fighter tappers off and then is flat. The nose of the fighter is where the radar is located and extends out further and comes to point. The nose has not been installed but will be once the radar platform is added.
Also, and this is really the major difference, NO COCKPIT……
The typical MO of US aid to Ukraine has been ship war metal to Poland and sneak it into Ukraine.
This article shoes it going the other way. So how is this aiding Ukraine?
Any sorties originating from Poland is just begging for Russian wrath on their terriyory.
(got to start proof reading)
Come on Sundance, it’s an AN-124, not a 225, and the wrapped objects are way too small to be either a Reaper or an F-16.
BS conspiracy garbage.
See ya,
The best way to hide a tree, is in a forest.
🔥Susan Rice and the Hidden Resistance🔥
@amuse
When I first read that Susan Rice was still ensconced on the Defense Policy Board well into the new Trump administration:
I thought it must surely be fake news…
Advisory boards matter.
They shape the information a president and his cabinet receive, frame the choices deemed “serious,” and create institutional momentum behind or against policy initiatives.
🔥A hostile advisor is not a harmless academic, adding “diversity of thought.”
🔥He is a wedge, a saboteur in slow motion, capable of cloaking opposition in the respectable garments of “best practices” and “expertise.”…
🔥Foreign influence often enters not through emissaries but through the porous membranes of a permanent political class, credentialed, networked, and ideologically committed to resisting populist correction.
🔥What President Trump, Secretary Hegseth, and others must recognize is that elections, though decisive at the ballot box, are never self-executing within the bureaucratic labyrinth.
🔥Personnel, as the old Reagan maxim goes, is policy.🔥
Without loyal personnel, policy becomes little more than rhetorical flourish, mocked, and resisted within the very apparatus charged with carrying it out.
It is not sufficient to appoint secretaries and department heads.
🔥The advisory bodies must be purged of those whose loyalty lies with other agendas.
It is not a question of suppressing dissent or banishing disagreement.
🔥It is a question of ensuring that advice flows from those who share, at a fundamental level, the vision that voters endorsed.
A Donilon or a Napolitano or a Rice can, with the simple weight of a title, influence media narratives, congressional investigations, and public perceptions.
🔥The mere fact that such a figure “advises” the president creates the illusion of bipartisan concern when, in fact, what exists is partisan subversion…🔥
https://x.com/amuse/status/1916525883373871346?t=0JIpJkMYDE-uQ–0ptjA_w&s=01
How do we know President Trump has not approved of this shipment to give himself more leverage with Putin? We actually have no otherbreal leverage except to send American ground troops to Ukraine.
Only 1 An225 was built and it was destroyed in 2022. Could it have been rebuilt? Possibly but not likely at all. The rear horizontal stabilizer in this pic does not have the vertical winglets at the tips like the an225 that was destroyed plus it only has 4 engines where the destroyed one had 6. So this is obviously a different plane or it was in fact rebuilt. Just my two cents.
I am sure I am not the first here to make this statement.
The Russians are “allowed” to see this contradictory behavior by the Trump admin.
Trump may be using the stick and carrot strategy.
Publicly talk about withdrawing all military support, but let them see that the alternative to an agreement will still hurt like hell.
Don’t think that could be an AN-225 as there was only 1 built and it was destroyed in Ukraine war.. That means it is something else or a photoshop. It could be the AN-124 which would make more sense.
“Russia is obviously aware these ongoing transports are taking place.”
Yeah no thanks to …
IMO, I see this as a “Peace through strength” situation (credit: Reagan and secondly Trump). And that Poland will be the holding spot for that “Peace through strength”. Thought of as an insurance policy in case things flare up and go wrong and not intended to be offensive in nature.
And yes, it is a carrot and stick also. And yes, it is intended to be seen and known. I am good with that idea. Using a Uke aircraft is symbolic of that idea without a delivery to Uk. If it brings an end to this war and it brings good relations to all involved including Russia it will be a wonderful idea.
