That is crazy stuff. Greatful AF that we are not in Afghanistan right now. Commoditization (toys) of what used to be only affordable by militaries is making it crazy dangerous for squishies (human meat bags) to be on a battlefield like never before.

This is essentially the modern version of the IED with wings. Will make it hard to occupy ANYPLACE when someone can simply strap a cheap ($400) dumb artillery shell onto a $700 quadcopter and Viola!, you have laser guided missile that can take off from anywhere with no traceback and no need for LOS to fire. This right here redefines insurgency tactics.

They are also building their own manufacturing plant for the black Panthers from South Korea.

Correct, in that many vilified Bush, but he had the silent majority. He also had a very good economy.

I'm sure Putin has the majority as well but the balance is much slimmer for him. He also has paramilitary groups he created that he now fears. The dynamic in Russia is very complicated, I'm hearing that he has thrown more support behind the Kadyrovites in order to help sway Turkey and that is the reason for his marginalization of the Wagner group. Putin is a shrewd master of manipulation but the pieces he's moving are getting much harder for him to control. Whether you admit it or not Putin is getting more and more vulnerable........ And desperate.

I did not enjoy the whole "Great Recession" thing.

Except their communists arent socially conservative. Go read their website. I provided a link earlier. Power to the worker, down with the patriarchy, yeah you wont find a BLM there but that's because there are very few black people there. But you can find plenty of RLM type rhetoric going on, and they definitely dont support the war and the lives lost.

Are they supporting the same social agenda as Democrats in this country? Nope.

You can also be pro working class and still be conservative.

Also on their site. Just a few I noticed right away.

"To create conditions for the development of small and medium entrepreneurship"

"To create a truly independent judiciary"

Are those two points you would be against?

But join with the EU and Germany isn't what I would think. I hope they can help reform. If the old Eastern bloc nations assumed control..I would think NATO would be a lot stronger.

One must ask oneself why the USA is liberating Europe once again? The socialist state of EU is a failure to live up to like Number 1 government commitment. They spent their money on other priorities.
