Republicans are trying to use Zelensky's positive image to score political points against Biden as if they weren't letting Trump falsely trash his reputation left and right just two years ago just because Trump wanted manufactured Hunter Biden dirt.

I mean Trump was literally withholding military aid from Ukraine for his own personal political agenda, and now they want to pretend they've always loved the guy?

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky Speaks Out on Trump, Putin and a Divided Europe

Before his claims of corruption, Trump tried to build a resort in Ukraine

Don’t Believe the Trump Administration's Lies About Ukrainian Corruption

Zelensky responds to Trump's claims: 'It's not true that Ukraine is a corrupt country'

Zelensky rejects Trump claim that Ukraine is a corrupt country: 'From now, it's not true'

Ukrainian President Asks Trump to “Please, Please Stop Saying That Ukraine Is a Corrupt Country”



With the sheer amount of things that happened the past few years and the way short-term memory works, I completely forgot that Trump tried to extort Zelensky.

No different from every war ever. Before social media all the propaganda was on broadcast television, before that they showed the films in the movie theater, before that they used to pass out leaflets. Every single war has heavy propaganda effort from both sides and this is just the current medium.

The stupid fukking thing is so many people in this thread just immediately regurgitating whatever propaganda narrative they see on social media without even doing the basic due diligence to understand if it's true or not or what the background is. They're literally pawns, and this thread is full of them (on both sides).

We've been seeing this dumb shyt in any thread where fools base their viewpoint on social media posts rather than any sort of serious research, but in a war where shyt happens fast and can't be verified immediately it's even worse.

This is one of the reasons why I do my shytposts and keep it bouncing. Brehs really don't realize the bigger picture beyond just the #prayforUkriane shyt and the armchair General Patton ass brehs putting their two cents in a war that doesn't concern them.

Reminds me of Apocalypse Now where they were filming the war and they made it look like ole boy was the top tier general. Even had dudes surfing :mjlol:

Owner of Chelsea football club forced to give up control ….. Putin fukked up those oligarchs don’t want this. The team worth 2 billion :francis:

He's giving up control but keeping ownership. Force him to sell for below market value and then shyt will get done.

Is there really no way to shoot down a missile while it's in mid-flight? Khrushchev claimed that his anti-missile system could hit a fly in outer space, and that was back in the '60s. And what about Israel nowadays with the Iron Dome anti-missile system. They shoot down almost all the missiles that Hamas lob at them

The physics of hitting a nuclear missile in mid-flight are insane. It's much worse than shooting down scuds or whatever because they're traveling much much faster and can come from virtually any direction. The ICBMs damn near fall straight down out of the sky while the sub-launched missiles skirt just above the water out of view of radar.

Think about it this way. An ICBM can travel 15,000 miles/hour. That's 22,000 feet every second. So imagine the missile you're shooting at is a 100-foot-long target, that means you not only have to nail the exact flight path of the 100-foot target but you have to hit at the exact 0.005 second moment that it's occupying that particular tiny piece of space. If you miss by just 1/100th of a second then the missile is already 200 feet past you.

Is it possible to shoot down an ICBM? Yes. Is it something you want to count on, especially when the enemy might fire 20 of them or 50 of them? No no no no no no no.
