Methinks the world is currently paying more attention to Iran and the economic effects of that engagement than they are to the fighting in Ukraine. The US military for damn sure is.

You are the pathetic one, and paranoid as well. Like most other Americans, I’m very much distracted from Ukraine by what is going on with Iran. For better or for worse, that’s actually OUR fight, and if we are gathering forces to attack Kharg Island (which to me it seems they are) the price we may pay might be going up considerably. And that very much is OUR war, because the feckless Europeans don’t actually have enough forces - even twelve years after the Russians seized Crimea - to be much help, even though keeping Hormuz open is far more important to their trade than it is to ours. So I make no excuses about diverting my attention from Ukraine to Iran. We’ve got our troops on the line there and a whole lot more invested in that situation than we have ever been invested in Ukraine.Originally Posted by Hubcapped

But if you aren’t distracted or simply value Ukraine more than you value what is going on with our own forces feel free to actually post pertinent things - successful or otherwise - about what is going on there to offset my lack of attention. It might provide a welcome change from your usual pathetic innuendos and ad hominem attacks. If you coukd actually post the source of your postings - like I do - that would be especially helpful.

No one is attacking you, no matter how many times you cry victim.
Changing the subject to iran doesn’t disprove the fact that you only report one side of the Ukraine war…. the russian side.
Four years in and you are still putin’s puppet.

Pointing out decades of fecklessness by our NATO Allie’s is not an indication of anyone being “Putin’s puppet”. US administrations since Jimmy Carter have been telling them they needed to spend more to defend Europe, appeals they studiously ignored (excepting perhaps Poland and Estonia). The MAJOR ECONOMIES (Germany, Italy, Spain, France, and the U.K., have spent less and less as a percentage of their GDP and even now, 12 years after the Russians seized Crimea, are barely approaching the 2% level they set for themselves in 2006. And yes, in many ways enlarging NATO Willy-nilly has hurt rather than helped the alliance, as evidenced by some of the obstructionist policies of Hungary, Slovakia, and Czechia.Originally Posted by Profane Kahuna

Saying that no more makes me Putin’s pawn than it made most of the US administrations Putin’s pawns. And I wasn’t the one who pushed the “reset” button with Russia.

GENEVA, March 6 (Reuters) - U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton presented Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov with a red "reset button" to symbolise improved ties, but the gift drew smiles as the word "reset" was mistranslated into the Russian for "overcharge".
"I would like to present you with a little gift that represents what President Obama and Vice President Biden and I have been saying and that is: 'We want to reset our relationship and so we will do it together," said Clinton, presenting Lavrov with a palm-sized yellow box with a red button.
Clinton joked to Lavrov: "We worked hard to get the right Russian word. Do you think we got it?"
"You got it wrong," said Lavrov, smiling as the two pushed the reset button together before dinner at a Geneva hotel.
He told Clinton the word "Peregruzka" meant "overcharge", to which Clinton replied: "We won't let you do that to us."
"We mean it and we look forward to it," she said of "resetting" the relationship, a phrase that Joe Biden first used at a security conference in Munich.
Lavrov said he would put the gift on his desk. (Reporting by Sue Pleming; Editing by Janet Lawrence)

you took my quote and answered with a news article about the recent RU drone assault. You dont talk about any of the MAJOR battlefield updates regarding Ukraine in the last 2 months. I know you failed out of pilot training and became a nav, but in the pilot world we honor debriefs. Here are “facts” as you like to put them. As mr kahuna mentioned, for 4 years you have constantly and obsessively posted only ONE side of the story. You have also verifiably and objectively lied or purposefully misquoted people to “win” this imaginary war you are fighting here. I doubt empathy and self reflection are in your toolbox, but try and step back, put yourself in another persons shoes, and come up with any valid reason other than you want RU to win and ukraine to fail. You are pathetic and deep down i know you can feel it under the seething layer of self delusion and cope you ride to not face the fact that you are a nobody like the rest of us.

You post what you believe most relevant, I’ll post what I believe most relevant. It’s a poor Intel source that posts only favorable assessments. Are you at least willing to concede that our feckless NATO brethren disarmed themselves unilaterally to the point that their contribution to deterrence of Russia evaporated?Originally Posted by Hubcapped

And that NATO member Hungary routinely deals with Russia?
or that Lavrov, among the hardest core of the Russians, likely still has that stupid button on his desk reminding him what ignorant fools we have been when it comes to the “reset”?

March 26 (Reuters) - The Pentagon is weighing whether to redirect weapons originally meant for Ukraine to the Middle East, as the war in Iran strains *supplies of some of the U.S. military's most critical munitions, the Washington Post reported Thursday, citing three people familiar with the matter.
The weapons that could be redirected include air defense interceptor missiles purchased through a NATO initiative launched last year, under which partner countries buy U.S. arms for Kyiv, the report said.
The consideration comes as U.S. operations in the region intensify. Admiral Brad Cooper, the Central Command chief leading U.S. forces in the Middle East, on Wednesday said the U.S. had hit over 10,000 targets inside Iran and was on track to limit Iran's ability to project power outside its borders.
A Pentagon spokesperson told the newspaper that *the Defense Department would "ensure that U.S. forces and those of our allies and partners have what they need to fight and win."
In response to a query about the report, a NATO official said members of the alliance and its partners continue to contribute to its Prioritised Ukraine Requirements List (PURL) programme that funds the supply of U.S. arms for Kyiv.
