era defining conflict? ya think!
Simon Shuster really went out on a limb there!
They put a big "D" on them.
That's how you know they're "defensive".
I agree with 4:23. He might be a Russian troll but whatever. The sarcasm is warranted.
It is used to defend a country, but to the conscripts (mainly) that it is aimed at, it is quite offensive.
At least Britain is braver than PUSSY Biden. Biden do not want give javelins directly. So he had the Baltic states give their to Ukraine and he promises to back fill them.
London will fall
Biden and the US are doing more than any other nation to support Ukraine
NATO knows this
You do not
lol where is Britain or the UK getting all these precision missiles? I'm guessing big US manufacturers and possibly parts of BAE will be getting some nice contracts.
Biden is doing more than anyone else outside of Russia to support Putin.
Giving missiles to Ukraine through a middle man stinks of fear. PERIOD!
