But didn’t Biden say he wouldn’t sign one without the other..

more delaying tactics.

One could incorrectly myopically view it that way. A better explanation is that splitting the packages means one package (Israeli aid) is more likely to get through simply because a good number of senators, politicians and influencers happen to be Jewish. Not so many of Ukraine's people are members of the US Congress.

Biden can see what would happen and is therefore saying he wants Ukraine aid to get through as well and the only way to do that is to make one a condition for the other else Ukraine will slip down the collective agenda.

This is therefore all the result of the Republicans blocking the full aid package by linking it to the Mexican border issues and MAGA rhetoric to buy votes for this year's elections.

Some sense talking.

They have destroyed a long range Russian radar system.

New from the UAE and co developed by Ukraine, a stealthy sub that can carry troops and launch torpedoes, they do not know if Ukraine will be able to get access to them.... It looks like an updated version of Seaviews flying sub.

Another of Russia systematic destruction of a city in progress.. :(

Wasn't a Russian missile warship being positioned in the Gulf to lend some support to Iran? Perhaps this submarine could carry out some early sea trials?

Ukraine to receive 5 minesweepers from NATO, two already from the UK and in training in the UK and three from the Netherlands and Belgium.

Says it all and so much for the we will do whatever it takes promise.

Old proverbs come alive in life-and-death situations.

"Actions speak louder than words!"

"We're going to need a bigger helicopter."

We appear to have missed this one, during a possible Ukrainian attack they hit a military Beriev BE-200 flying boat and blew the wing off it.

The campaign in Africa is not going according to plan for Afrika Korps.

Now there's a phrase that wasn't on my bingo card for 2024 :E

How sad, never mind.

He may be under a cloud now, but he may end up under a flyover when he returns.

NEW: The current US debate about providing additional military assistance to Ukraine is based in part on the assumption that the war will remain stalemated regardless of US actions.

That assumption is false. Russian advances will accelerate absent urgent American action. 🧵(1/8)

AMERICA’S STARK CHOICE IN UKRAINE AND THE COST OF LETTING RUSSIA WIN

You 're showing your age Nutty :E
Heck, I'm not sure I would have even caught the reference if I'd not recently watched an episode of "Voyage to the Bottom" - couldn't believe how stupid it was as an adult...

The increased range will come in handy.

I caught the reference. :cool: It looks a bit like a manta ray.

it does have that look about it with a smattering of the Spindrift thrown in. ;)
