Senator Lindsey Graham (U-DC) is trying to get the Libyan band back together as part of the effort to escalate a NATO war against Russia. In the latest development, according to the U.S. version of events, Russia took down a Reaper drone over the Black Sea:
The MQ-9 Reaper drone was making a routine flight before it was intercepted by two Russian Su-27 fighter jets on Tuesday. The warplanes dumped jet fuel on the drone and flew in front of it in a “reckless, environmentally unsound and unprofessional manner,” according to a statement from U.S. European Command.
One of the Russian aircraft then struck the drone’s propeller, rendering it unflyable and prompting U.S. operators to ditch it in the Black Sea. (link)
The Russian version of events outlines something akin to Russian pilots throwing a Pepsi at it. As relayed by Russian Ambassador to the United States Anatoly Antonov:
[…] “I explained the position of the Russian Federation,” Antonov said. “I stressed that the American UAV that was moving deliberately and provocatively towards the Russian territory with its transponders turned off violated the boundaries of the temporary airspace regime established for the special military operation, which was communicated to all concerned users of international airspace in accordance with international norms.”
“At the same time,” he added, “the Russian fighters scrambled to identify the intruder did not use on-board weapons or come into contact with the UAV.”
“The unacceptable actions of the United States military in the close proximity to our borders are cause for concern,” Antonov said. “We are well aware of the missions such reconnaissance and strike drones are used for.” […] “What do they do thousands of miles away from the United States? The answer is obvious – they gather intelligence which is later used by the Kiev regime to attack our armed forces and territory,” Antonov said.
[…] “Let us ask a rhetorical question: if, for example, a Russian strike drone appeared near New York or San Francisco, how would the US Air Force and Navy react? I am quite confident that the US military would act in an uncompromising way and would not allow its airspace or territorial waters to be breached,” Antonov said. “We proceed from the fact that the United States will refrain from further speculations in the media landscape and stop making sorties near the Russian borders,” he added. (link)
The United States govt/military justified their operation near the Russian border by saying we patrol everywhere in the globe doing these surveillance missions, so the Russians just need to stop being so sensitive:
[…] U.S. Air Forces in Europe – Air Forces Africa routinely fly aircraft throughout Europe over sovereign territory and throughout international airspace in coordination with applicable host nation and international laws. In order to bolster collective European defense and security, these missions support Allied, partner, and U.S. national objectives. (link)
And, of course, Senator Lindsey Graham demands an immediate U.S. declaration of war against Russia:
“the Su-27s dumped fuel on and flew in front of the MQ-9 in a reckless, environmentally unsound and unprofessional manner”
This is why we can’t beat Russia in this war. The us eu command is so concerned about the environment. They are trying to fight an environmentally sound war. LMAO. All the while they are pushing us closer to thermo-nuclear destruction.
MIC: “We destroyed the world with a nuclear war, but don’t worry we reduced our carbon footprint.”
Was blowing up the Nordstream Pipeline environmentally unsound?
Just about time for the Havanian Spring cruise.
Biden destroys tens of billions worth of critical Russian/European infrastructure in an overt act of war ostensibly targeting our allies….crickets.
A couple of hotdog Russkie pilots play stupid tag with a drone worth less than the cost of their planes….reeeeeeeeee!!!!
The MQ-9 Reaper drone package today is $56 million. The cost of a Russian Su-27 is $38 million.
I ran across the number $32 million for the MQ-9. I also saw your number. I have no way of determining which is accurate. Inflation?
The larger number covers additional assets to operate the system.
23 is the best number we have for the vehicle itself.
In the 1700’s the British used to “impress” all sorts of men to force them to fight or man their warships. I’d like to see Graham, Pence, Fatso Christie, Shumer, McConnell and all the other beltway bullshit warriors get impressed by Zelensky and sent to the Donbas front. Can anyone picture the Fatso trying to hide behind a blown out tree stump? That’s a sight I’d pay money to see.
And…..
Simple question. Why doesn’t Russia get be to make a declaration such as the Monroe Doctrine? TheUS used it during the Cuban missile crisis.
Under the concept of “reverse barometer”, we have definitely passed a key point, regarding CREDIBILITY.
Now, according to even liberal pollsters, “Most Americans” simply ASSUME, if all of the “Usual Suspects” say it, it MUST not be true.
WE don’t really even need to do any research, on say this latest drone incident, or the “chinese balloons” or the latest DC “scandal”.
THEY have achieved “reverse Credibility”; if THEY say it, we KNOW it’s not true.
THEY do not benefit from this, THEY went to all the work to subvert every Institution, in and out of Government, SO THAT they could LEVERAGE that credibility, to “gaslight” us.
And,for many years that provided the with a tremendously powerful tool, for “shaping” Public Opinion.
“North Vietnamese forces attacked our ships in the Tonkin Gulf”,..
“Iraq has weopons of mass destruction and aided Al Quada on 9/11,..”
“Trump is an asset of Russia,..”
“Scamdemic, with long list of false narratives,..”
“Most secure election in history,..”
“Armed Insurrection on J6,..”
They systematically, by overuse DESTROYED the credibility of ALL Institutions, rendering this tremendously powerful tool, impotent.
And, this was TOTALLY FORESEEABLE.
THEY did it, because events FORCED them to, not out of any strategy.
More broadly, I don’t believe they ever had any WORKABLE, DOABLE plan for HOW to “get from point A, to point B”; how to get from covertly controlling all the Institutions, while maintaining the ILLUSION of “Democracy, etc.” to overt tyranny.
The analogy of “boiling frogs” is a flawed analogy.
The truth is, if you actually try it, no matter how slowly you raise the temperature, when it gets uncomfortable, the frogs WILL jump out of the pot.
You HAVE to use a lid (force) to keep them in as you raise the temperature, i.e. shift from covert, where the frogs have no idea they are being boiled, to overt, where they do.
There actions to prevent Americans from red-pilling, are only causing more people to red-pill.
THEY are simply proving Abe’s theorem, on “fooling people”; THEY, in their hubris, thought that with technology, they could somehow finesse Abe’s eternal truth, but all of the new technology in the World doesn’t alter the basic equation, or the outcome.
It’s just a matter of TIME, at this point, but the outcome is certain.
IMHO,..
I think some folks missed the day in kindergarten, when the teacher read the story about a boy who cried wolf
Brilliant, Dutch!
That’s why they want to control the internet and us.
this is not our government. it is an imperial force and occupier that has invaded our land in the same way that it is trying to invade Russia.
if only the founders had given us a way to solve for that….
VOTE HARDER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And…More often!
And earlier
They did. It was an awareness that reality is dictated by something greater than ourselves, the tenets of which we violate at our peril. We here in the west, the former Christendom, have discarded that basic understanding — unlike pretty much any culture ever in the history of the planet. We are now paying the price.
We can go back, just like the Prodigal Son, but there are going to be a lot of casualties before it’s all over.
Our Republic may be one of those casualties.
I trust only one man with the task of bringing us back from the brink.
We must provide him an army of vociferous courageous support.
Good post but I think Mord forgot the /s
Precious metals is the answer!
They did give us 2 ways. Short term solution is the 10 Amendment known as Nullification.
The long term solution is found in Article V. Below is a bit of history.
The Declaration of Independence outlines the why and the rights of a free people. But remember it was the precursor to the new government established first in the Articles of Confederation and perfected in the Constitution. We do not need a new government. We need to adhere to the rule of law found in the Constitution. Because of the failure of the men and women in our government and their corrupt bureaucracies we must use the only remedy left to a free people, Article V of the Constitution. 19 states have already voted support for a citizen led Amendatory Constitutional Convention. It cannot be stopped by the federal government, judiciary or the bureaucracies. See conventionofstates.com to sign the petition and volunteer locally to push state legislatures to act on behalf of their constituents. https://conventionofstates.com/volunteer_application. The founders gave us a powerful solution as big as the problem. Check out the 3 pillars that will outline the Amendatory Constitutional Convention and who supports it.
1) term limits
2)fiscal restraint
3) reduce the size and power of the federal government. (All the 3 letter bureaucracies that are unconstitutional should be restored to the state and local government for accountability by the constituents)
Please watch these excellent explanations
Justice Scalia in 1979
Voting will not solve the problem without the states taking responsibility for election integrity as outlined in the constituency.
“It cannot be stopped by the federal government, judiciary or the bureaucracies.”
Respectfully, sure it can. This current rogue excuse-for-a-government has shown it will do anything to maintain and enhance its control. The J6 prisoners come to mind.
The Constitutional Convention movement is a cruel and dangerous farce.
Well meaning people are taken in, but it’s a ploy that will destroy our Constitution the moment the convention convenes; many hundred page constitutions with flowery progressive prose promising rights and privileges galore lie in wait to impose a fully Communistic government.
There could not be a more dangerous trap, a fell-swoop elimination of our Republic in full, yet we endlessly have to continue to educate people that have been conned into believing it is our salvation.
All the assurances offered about binding delegates to pledges to act in a limited fashion for specific purposes only are false, delegates cannot be bound or controlled by their states, once the door is closed those delegates can do as they please.
We do not have men of our Founder’s stature amongst us, save one, perhaps, but we do have armies of ambitious compromised politicians that the Derp State has the goods on, all too many ascribed to the various secret sects of the Communist Conspiracy, all too happy to put on a good show of fealty and Patriotism in order to get in the door to destroy the single greatest impediment to global conquest of that Satanic ideology.
Ask yourselves, Dear Treepers, is the problem too few rules in the Constitution, or too few in power abiding those rules?
More rules won’t fix it, but that’s the feel-good story they tell to bait the trap.
Which is why I call it the ConConCon.
If that is true, all the ridiculous stuff about a jet somehow getting in exactly the right place vis-a-vis the much slower moving drone and dropping fuel on it and somehow clipping a propeller without damage to the plane is proven to be another clown show.
Uh huh. But it sure does make a fun story! 🤣
C’mon. This is what these almost-dead “rich white guys” have done for a living, for about sixty years! “Trying their best to get the rest of us killed – needlessly.”
Three alternatives:
The Su 27s did a high speed fly by and the sound wave disrupted the drone.
The Su 27s did a fuel dump and lit it with their afterburners
The Su27s lit up the drone with their attack radar which is very powerful, at close range it might be enough to disrupt the drones flight control.
…..and combinations of the three might have worked…..no reason to fire upon it to take it out, that would have been recorded
Radar as microwave to fry electronics is a reality. Japan tried to use microwave to disrupt B-29 engines on bombing runs.
Is a fighter jet dropping fuel on a drone a common practice? It sounds quite odd to me.
Why would such an act be done?
And yes, why would a high-speed aircraft risk damage to itself by purposely clipping a much slower aircraft?
The above propaganda scenario by US makes no sense at all.
Quite odd indeed. A guess? The flying in front of it in an unsafe manner might indicate trying to ignite the fuel with their exhaust. Accidentally, of course.
Is it possible that the drone has a mechanism to release a cartrdge of jet fuel in order to self-destruct?
After losing one in Iran, they better have it. Save a SOF mission.
I don’t believe the drone in Iran was lost. Obama and his Iran Mullahs Loving Cabal gave it to them. How else would Iran now be coping it and selling them to other countries?
Remember Val Jarrett was raised in Iran and Obama sending pallets of money, nuclear deal, etc. etc. etc.
The one lost in Iran was hacked into landing in Iran, fully intact.
Zero’s complicity is an interesting suggestion, not something I’d put past him.
Just like a balloon maneuvering over nuke sites. Airship yes, balloon, no. Where is the CHICOM balloon debris? What propulsion did it have?
It was a genuine balloon, not an airship, and it maneuvered as any balloon does, by changing altitude to catch different winds.
There was no propulsion, no rudder, no thrusters, no warp drive.
How about impulse drive?
Negative. 😉
It is based in part on an incident in the Cold War in the early 80s. A Russian Su-27 pilot up in the Arctic got fed up after multiple scrambles to try and persuade NATO ships to get out of Russian waters. So after another high speed pass at very low level failed to have an effect he did a slow overhead pass with his fuel tank valves open, dumping kerosene on the US ship. Having that nasty stuff sprayed all over the ship must have had an impact as the problem disappeared. The pilot was not punished for his unauthorised action.
For the Russians fuel dumps are indeed a common tactic of harassment and humiliation.
I needn’t explain the symbolic nature of the deed.
As far as the speed differential is concerned, while that story sounds like utter hogwash, modern fighters can accomplish amazing feats including flying exceedingly slowly.
The jamming story above sounds much more reasonable than anything I’ve heard, aside from a panicked controller in a building far away losing control as he attempts maneuvers never trained for . . .
Canceling sorties could be a reaction to newly recognized Russian capabilities.
But they could also be due to the newly recognized Russian will to respond to the provocation.
Weren’t the Russians the first one to do the Corbra move, when the jet is standing on its tail. Flying slow.
I’m not sure, but I wouldn’t be surprised.
It’s a virtual hover.
Folks have ideas in their heads about zoomers always zooming, but they have serious tricks up their sleeves.
I would not be surprised if the Russian did drop fuel (called urinate) on the drone.
Golden jet fuel showers.
Like maneuvering balloons to threaten the US homeland? War drums in Taiko mode.
Belle, only an idiot would believe such a story. I expect one of the fighters fried the drone’s electronics with some sort of EW.
Ye that was always ridiculous
Baghdad Bob came out today and said they wiped the software remotely, so no need to worry about the Russians and Chinese getting their hands on the tech, everyone….
OH. So the guidance signal was jammed enough to lose control of the drone, but the comms for deleting onboard memory was still clear and unjammed. Sure.
😉
No worry, FBI Scuba Team One is on it pronto.
You sure they are not going too send the Ukrainian dive team!?
They are heading there as fast as they can, but rowing is hard.
Proper move Chris. Plenty of other ways to achieve the same end-state.
EW, quoth the raven, nevermore…
The Kyiv Independent report:
Battle of Bakhmut: Ukrainian soldiers worry Russians begin to ‘taste victory’.
Just days before heading back to fight in the Battle of Bakhmut, a Ukrainian soldier Volodymyr, 54, said he felt ill-prepared.
“When they drive us to Bakhmut, I already know I’m being sent to death,” Volodymyr told the Kyiv Independent during his brief stay in Kramatorsk, a city in Donetsk Oblast some 25 kilometers west of the front line.
…
“(The Russians) keep firing at us, but we don’t have artillery – so we have nothing to attack them back with,” Volodymyr said. “I don’t know if I will return or not. We are just getting killed.”
Ukrainian infantrymen interviewed by the Kyiv Independent described the fighting in Bakhmut as a desperate survival challenge against Russia’s “infinite” stocks of artillery munitions and manpower. With just their machine guns and rifles, they say they braced relentless Russian mortar and artillery attacks until their hideout was eventually destroyed.
…
Valeriy, a Ukrainian infantryman, says that most of his fallen comrades were fatally wounded by projectile fragments.
“It’s a pity that probably 90% of our losses are from artillery – or tanks and aviation,” Valeriy told the Kyiv Independent a few hours after leaving the Bakhmut front. “And much less (casualties) from shooting battles.”
Valeriy counted that “only a few” of the original 27 members of his platoon got out of the Bakhmut front with him, though he explained that most of them were wounded, not killed.
“The Russians have so many weapons, and there are so many of them,” Valeriy said. “They are firing at us all the time. Sometimes, you hear an incoming every second.”
Artillery is, as expected, the big killer in Bakhmut. While there are also many wounded the chances for them to eventually survive is not that big. Artillery wounds are notoriously unclean and slow to heal. There are allegedly Ukrainian orders that slightly wounded men must just be patched up and immediately send back to the front. Working in muddy battle trenches with notoriously bad sanitary conditions practically guarantees that those patched up wounds will then get infected.
The Russian artillery advantage is reportedly 10 to 1. Artillery is causing high casualty rates. Any claim that Russian casualty rates are higher than those on the Ukrainian side are defying the logical conclusion from those facts.
https://www.moonofalabama.org/
“(The Russians) keep firing at us, but we don’t have artillery – so we have nothing to attack them back with,” Volodymyr said. “I don’t know if I will return or not. We are just getting killed.”
How can that be? The US has sent the tons of artillery,etc. Where is it?
Seems like it’s more of an IQ shortage than artillery in the Ukrainen Army!
Seems to me like their “leadership” does NOT care about their troops. Almost as if someone else is running this war – horrible way to deplete Ukraine of their own young, able-bodied men?
Down the road, when a sufficient number of the men of Ukraine have been killed or rendered permanently disabled, who will be there to fend off the enemies who are like ravening wolves, after their wives, children and all that has not already been taken from Ukraine?
Rose is that you? Thought you’d never leave Tokyo.
Soit genti.
They have lowered age to 16 to register for military. Age 60 is now the age they top off at. More women are being sent into combat areas.
The average age of Ukraine men on front is 50-55.
Very few of the original fighting force is left. A lot of the mercenaries are even leaving the battlefield – and Ukraine.
Many-many reports of 2 lines of defense. The second one is there to shoot troops who have been retreating.
That why I keep saying —watch for Mission Creep.
We can send all the money and ammo/munitions.
Does no good unless you have troops.
War of attrition. Eliminate the troops and the fall will happen.
Young? The first soldier interviewed in this article is 54!
Sold to third parties.
This is what I think is going on:
The Ukraine command (a.k.a US and NATO) keep feeding Ukraine soldiers into Bakhmut battle without enough firepower, and not enough training. It is a slaughterhouse for those soldiers. The West wants to keep such a battle going–with no care for the fighters–in order to keep the war going as long as possible.
Reasons: more money to be made, more public support against ‘big bad Russia’, and more reason to escalate to full war with Russia.
War is a racket: Gen. Smedley Butler
You are wrong.
At first I thought your reply was to Suejeanne’s inquiry about what happens to the wives and children.
It’s been sold on the black market.
“The US has sent the tons of artillery,etc. Where is it?”
They did not send the instructions, still waiting for the mercenaries to show them “how it’s done”.
Probably in luxury homes and Swiss bank accounts controlled by the ruling elite in Ukraine for when they quickly depart the county.
Blown up by missile strikes at depots? Ammo dumps are a target rich environment, so, no Ukraine air defense could mean “kaboom” for US taxpayers.
The Ukrainians have sold a lot of the donated arms I read somewhere
https://moderndiplomacy.eu/2022/07/07/scandal-ukraine-sells-military-equipment-donated-by-nato-countries/
They are going to the Balkans and the Sahel in Africa.
Expect Communist Islamist insurgencies to heat up in those areas.
Russia outproducing us.
We have basically given Ukraine all we can from our stockpile. We are at levels that we should be concerned about.
Just like our strategic oil supplies…..
Biden and kiddos appear to have no problem with putting our Country at risk.
Best source of information regarding arms/ammunition is The New Atlas . YouTube is usually posted first…then it is usually Rumble later.
Joe sent Yellen, OUR Treasury Sec, to ensure Z he’d have all the money/support he needs for as long as it takes. Screw the Americans.
We do not have Soviet ammunition to supply their Soviet weapons.
That’s why they covet the Soviet era ammo dumps in Transnistria.
Those are the last major stocks remaining, Europe sent most all theirs.
Some of those stockpiles have been there for three decades with very little or no maintenance done on the equipment nor the ordinance in that time. How much of it will be servicable/usable is unknown.
It is called: “losing a war.”
There is (maybe) “a white cross left for you.” In a thoroughly-anonymous green (Flander’s …) field, filled “row by row.”
Its called psyops from the “usual suspects” on CTH.
these soldiers can turn and march on Kiev to end it at any time they choose.
True! Obviously the Ukrainian Army doesn’t know who the real enemies are!
CJ quoting Moon- what a surprise.
LMAO, love the moniker Graham, U-DC.
Lindsey looking chipper. He’s a more insane war monger than McCain – and that’s saying something.
Limp wrist sissy who never put his azzz on the line in combat. Those who advocate war need to be the first to serve.
he’s got his in time for apocalypse, so what does he care? the consenting peasants are the ones who will have to do his bidding.
Lindsey & his ilk need to slide into a chipper.
When Panty wearing Lindsey says he will be the first American to go over there to fight the Ruskies, then I might believe him, otherwise STFU.
I’ll put up a GiveSendGo page to pay for his one way ticket if that will help him get there.
… in which capacity? … as JAG? LOL
‘… in which capacity?’ – Mopy Dick
‘Camp follower,’ as they used to say in WW I.
Lindsey reaches for the GI’s zipper, with a crooked grin on his ruined face.
I hope Kelly Anne comes clean on Miss Lindsey.
Lindsey loves war. He has no children ………….. and no sons. He will never the experience the loss of family members that war eventually entails. That pleasure is always reserved for working class families. Lindsey is a psychopath ………… and by definition …………………….. severely mentally impaired.
Yes, he is a psychopath!! No doubt about it.
As is his best buddy Hannity. Just heard him surfing radio in the car. Damm that man to hell.
‘Lindsey loves war. He has no children ………….. and no sons. ‘ – Onekama Man
Homosexual intercourse is, by definition, non-reproductive.
Accordingly, this twisted, superannuated old poofter has no skin in the game.
In his dotage, all he can do is worship the flaming corpses ignited by his evil empire.
Delusional much?
Get some help.
“What do they do thousands of miles away from the United States? The answer is obvious – they gather intelligence which is later used by the Kiev regime to attack our armed forces and territory,” Antonov said.
He’s not wrong …
Would they fly that Reaper drone into the airspace of the PRC?
You betcha.
Probably even land it intact in their territory… oh wait…
Didn’t that happen with a different drone with respects to Iranian airspace a while back?
Hacked into landing intact on a runway in Persian territory.
Almost gotta wonder if we allowed that to happen . . .
Probably- but without armaments. Need to pick up Biden’s monthly paycheck without witnesses….
Beware the Ides of March!
I don’t think someone without any children should be making calls for wars for other people’s children to go fight.
“…without any children of military age and eligibility…”
FIFY
man is an idiot, he certainly wont come near to fighting, which is probably one of the reasons why he is so keen on it, the other reason is obviously the enormous kickback he will get from the MIC.
I think that there is little doubt he has already pocketed some of those $$ that went to U.
Mark Levin going nuts also last night on his radio show.
Did someone cut back Mark’s mashed potato supply at Golden Corral?
Seriously, you listen to him?
Marky Mark is way off – base on foreign policy, the only one with a worse record than him in that regard is Joseph the Vigorous. I stopped listening to him 6 months ago when he made a stupid comment about people on the right criticizing Ron DeSantis.
Is it U.S. Defense Contractors, the CIA, or Ukraine that has those pictures of Lindsey?
And if he really feels so intensely about the drone, why doesn’t Ms. Lindsey head straight to the Ukraine and fight himself, personally ?
Russia tried to reason with the U.S. Warmongers, and was told to drop dead. Russia didn’t need to be told any more times that reason was no longer in vogue when dealing with the shiny dunghill on the Potomac.
It’s a pretty sad state of affairs when Washington makes Putin look like a reasonable man.
Is this Reaper drone shenanigan supposed to distract from questions about Nordstream?
Maybe it was a ” Chinese weather balloon” that caused the crash of the Reaper drone.
No, this isn’t a mere distraction.
It’s an American miscalculation.
Underestimating Russian resolve and capacity.
The DC military coming out soft on this tells you that international waters was a lie. We got caught.
Ding, Ding, Ding…..we have a Winner.
Minkeywerx using open source software says the drone was in Russian airspace.
” POKE THE BEAR ( or goat or… ) ” AND GET SMACKED
Is the US in good hands with Austin?
The man looks like a janitor. After the Afghanistan withdrawal debacle we’d do better with a janitor!
US has a Third World Officer Corps – you know the type of people who can engage in money-making in uniform but have no ability to earn a living without wearing one………and Lloyd Austin is standard issue –
Austin became the commander of CENTCOM on March 22, 2013, after being nominated by President Obama in late 2012.
This promotion came at the direction of Admiral Michael Mullen, then Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. While Director, Austin was told by Mullen to increase the diversity of the Joint Staff. Austin credited the appointment as having jumpstarted his later career, saying: “People who might not have known Lloyd Austin began to know him.”
During his tenure, he was responsible for the appointment of multiple African-American officers to the highest ranks of the military, including the appointment of General Lloyd Austin, now the first black secretary of defense, as Director of the Joint Staff
SO the object of the exercise was to promote Blacks to starring roles……..and Mullen did his job for Obama and was re-appointed……..the whole thing is Politics and Optics exactly as Douglas MacGregor has stated!
When your nation hasn’t fought a real war in more than eighty years, the predictions once made by a “Five(!)-star General” (P.S.: “You can’t earn six …”) begin to hit very close to home.
I heard that when Lloyd Austin was told that he was going to be Secretary of Defense, he asked “Which fence?”
The simple answer is no…more than likely a recipient of DEI…and not of ability…like most in g-ment.
Oh my word Joe.
The second sentence made me laugh harder than I have in several days.
Thank you, I always appreciate a good laugh.
Austin Powerless is Girth Vader.
the warmonger uniparty is also condemning desantis for saying that staying in ukraine is not common sense. Joni Ernst is a vile warmonger who was once a great Iowa patriot and the latest to condemn desantis. All the while they continue to hide the real truth behind the Nord Pipeline…. evil, vile all
According to Lindsay Graham, USA can shoot down weather balloons with missiles (and nobody knows where the missiles finally landed), but the Ruskies are not allowed to knock down drones.
And the US can knock out NS pipelines that belong to others.
Speaking of rat Lindsey Graham,
https://www.dailywire.com/news/seven-republicans-help-confirm-embattled-biden-nominee-as-ambassador-to-india
India is stuck with loser Garcetti on its territory.
What does Garcetti know about India?
Dem Presidents nominate ambassadors only as rewards for loyal support and service to them.
In 2023, I’m more inclined to believe in the Russians than our own government.
Crazy!
It’s pretty pathetic, isn’t it!
The citizens of the US have been gaslighted that Russia is an evil conqueror ever since the Soviet Union dissolved.
In reality, the US has been a ruthless conqueror effecting color revolutions and regime changes all over the globe for decades.
And the citizens of those countries are collateral damage in the evil machinations of the US.
I believe our military when they say a Russian jet dumped jet fuel on the drone and clipped its propellor, causing it to ditch, all in international airspace. The Russians are lying. They have a history of lying probably even worse than our side does. But with that said, we don’t know that it wasn’t just an overly aggressive Russian pilot.
The US and Russia have been playing cat and mouse on the sea and in the air for more than a half a century. This is nothing new, nor is it new since Russia invaded Ukraine. Sometimes one of us screws up and goes too far. You don’t go all Barney Fife over it.
You do (get all Barney Fife over it) if you’re immature like the Biden administration.
If you believe that…there is a bridge in Brooklyn for sale…
It is highly unlikely that the Su-27 would have risked his aircraft by trying to either hit the propeller, positioned at the back between the stabilisers, with either a wingtip of the aircraft’s nose cone as it would be highly likely that bits would be sucked into his engine intakes. If he had it would have been extremely skillful flying.
More interesting is how the US pilot sitting in an airbase somewhere in the US, was actually aware of what was happening, when his super dooper camera couldn’t see upwards and backwards, and was able to report the tale.
The Russians are now recovering the Reaper, which may, unless you believe the Pentagon when, even after losing control, they we able to zap its software, yield interesting intelligence data.
Given that this event was unexpected and they were trying to extract as much information as they could, it is probable that this aircraft carried the latest widgets.
A nasty wake up call for the US and a reminder that, regardless of people thinking that this is a near peer to peer conflict, it is not. In particular in a real war then all aircraft like this, INTEL, AWACS, tankers etc, within say 400 miles of the front line would be at risk of a SAM or AAM up their backside. All the analysts currently pouring over streams of data would be looking at empty screens. If the satellites went, forget advanced networking, its back to WW1 levels of war control.
Can you imagine a pilot in a cubicle staring at a screen trying to put his nugget on a swivel to see his attackers?
It’s almost funny.
“Environmentally unsound?” Oh no! Man, does the US military sound like a bunch of whiney bitches.
“environmentally unsound”= they pissed on our drone waaaaaaaaaahhhhhh
Putin should dump their McDonalds grease traps on the next one just to spite them.
Or liquified cow poop…..imagine that being sprayed all over the battlefield. Or ethyl mercaptan in artillery shells, which would be better.
And since it is used as a mine emergency signal, it can’t be considered WMD either – but sure will throw a wrench into things!
🙂 🙂
And “Unprofessional”…what a travesty…
Whereas Biden’s war in Ukraine is green as grass. Electric tanks, carbon offset missiles…. the works.
Anytime you get frightened by Trump getting close to Lindsey to win the SC primary, just realize that even Lindsey doesn’t realize that he’s being used. 😉 😆
For all of his faults, Lindsey is no dummy. Lindsey thinks he is using Trump.
Which makes him a dummy after all.
I love golfing in SC for a vacation. I just wish I could Ms. Lindsey’s head for the ball.
I do too…the “little man” was playing in front of me at Kiawah and his caddie was none too happy with the “modest” tip he received…
‘the “little man” was playing in front of me at Kiawah and his caddie was none too happy with the “modest” tip he received…’ — numbersixdance
‘Just the tip,’ promised chaste Lindsey, as he casually let fly in the caddy’s unsuspecting mouth.
Using that as a ball, the game could be named “Bowling For Liberty”!

Watch these idiots begin to refer to Kiev as “allies”…
Im with Cindy and the candle people.
Graham needs to be free falling into Hell with his buddy Mcstain.
I love how this idiot was on another idiots show last night, Idiot 1= Graham, Idiot 2= Hannity. Fox is so fickle, and they are all for this Hurry up and give Ukraine everything they need so they can beat Russia and everything will be hunkey Dory, and then they have the Gall to ridicule and huff and puff over Ron Desantis’s stand on Ukraine which is absolutely my stand as well, as to just butt out . It’s all so ridiculous. Who wants War? I needed to vent.
Chicken Hawks always squawk the loudest…thus one with a lisp…
Is it too much trouble for Sugarbritches Graham to ask his Missile Mongers for some drones to run sorties over what used to be the Southern Border??
Ya, I heard this last night.. Pops was over and he likes to play Faux Snooze on his phone.. got through Tucker and then as soon as I heard Hannity’s voice I asked him… Why do you bother watching this trash? It didn’t take long for me to start ranting..
So I ask the same of everyone.. Please stop giving either of these hacks one moment of your time. Literally turn the TV off after Tucker.. It’s not that hard, I’m sure you have something… anything that would be a better use of your time than watching either of them. But hey if you enjoy that sort of thing, go for it.
I never watch Hannity! Once Tucker is done… I switch the channel. Recently, HLN has been running Fringe so that is my new 9pm show to watch. 9pm to midnight 😀
Fringe rocks.
Are they running new episodes now?
Haven’t turned my TV on except for guests in years.
A most excellent question!
567 responses—-Get the message, Lindsey??!? You need to retire asap. We do not trust you. We do not like you. Please sit DOWN!
Lindsey Graham is a RINO COWARD send him Christie and the rest of the RINOs along with the moronic democrats. Their not happy with sponsoring the Ukraine Comedian they seem to want WW3.
They didn’t strike the propeller. Those Russian planes over the Black Sea are outfitted with electronic warfare gear. They simply shut it down and it crashed.
Same plane shut off all the electronics in a US destroyer and did flyovers of it a couple years back.
I remember that …US DESTROYER as the duck in the Black sea…they had to tow away to romanian port…#’s of sailors resign…
Hannity and graham are both wrong,,,we have no business being there. It’s stupid, it’s idiotic,and serves no good purpose,or benefit to the American people,,piss on these chicken hawks
If Russia disguised one of its drones as a weather balloon, it could fly clear across the north American continent and we’d have no issues with it/sarc
Guess who else was a military lawyer and also supports this Ukrainian insanity?
Ron DeWorthless-Santis
His handler loved her time running corrupt Ukrainian elections, installing Z-Bag himself.
Lindsey Graham, AKA My Little Pony, wife of the one whose name we don’t say, is a total warmonger who will do anything to get us into WWIII and push and support Biden in doing so. What about the USA implementing and coordinating the color revolution of 2014 in Ukraine to depose the duly elected government and the USA destroying the Russian Nord Stream pipelines? Were those acts not a declaration of war? SMH.
“… wife of the one whose name we don’t say…” Say it with me: Juan McStain.
O’Keefe has a new company name, and it’s genius.
OMG.
I don’t see a YT channel by them yet, but I’m way unsubscribed from the now-useless Project Veritas and will subscribe to his new channel (if YT lets him, maybe he’ll opt for rumble or something else…) I don’t do twitter. Or facebook.
Lindsay is singing “All we are saying is give war a chance……”
Remember the Maine, Iraq has weapons of mass destruction, Tonkin Gulf. It never ends.
While lady Lyndsey was to busy crapping on the people he was elected to represent in the great state of South Carolina when the Chinese had spy balloons floating over our continent he was constipated. Now when the military industrial complex he represents says crap out your mouth he craps. Why on earth is he so concerned about our spy drone being shot down in the Black Sea. He is a deep state owned and operated mouthpiece. Warmongering neocon liberal marxist.
