I don't think this is looking good.

It doesn't, but all the war supporters care about is fighting Russia.

The fact that the longer the war goes on the worse for Ukraine is very much secondary for them.

They have been ignoring all the corruption points as 'Russian talking points', even though it's been pointed out that that Russia is just as corrupt.....but that we aren't funding Russia.

The fact that it's British tax payers who will have to pay doesn't mean much....it's the covid mentality.

Zelensky does what he always does. When someone gains in power he removes him. Fortunately not by falling down stairs or out of a window but by moving him out to some low level. Federov is about the Nth "victim".

Swedish warplanes always innovative and elegant

Meteor is British. MBDA make it.

Yup. Really good. Their trouble is that making those chews into a massive chunk of their defence budget, disproportionately. They should export more, but it ain't a cheap machine.

According to the Financial Times, Colombian drug cartels are sending their fighters to the Ukraine under the guise of volunteers to learn drone control and counter-electronic warfare skills from their armed forces.

Just another one of the negative kickbacks from this war.....drone warfare will be used by terrorists and drug gangs and even assassins.
