Interactive Time-lapse: Russia's War in Ukraine: https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/733fe90805894bfc8562d90...


This will trigger an immediate NATO response. NATO will deploy troops to Ukraine!


Why? Ukraine is not a NATO member, and won't be for years, if ever.


There is another link that has video and pictures that isn't hidden behind a NYT paywall:

Ukraine has urged the U.S. and Europe to increase the training of F-16 pilots. They have 30 eligible pilots ready for training in the U.S., but the Biden administration has limited the training slots to 12 pilots due to capacity constraints in Arizona.


>due to capacity constraints in Arizona.

So, would someone war-game this out for me?

  A.) This is an accurate piece of information, 
     1.) ...and either the F-16 is so obsolete that we don't keep adequate 
         training materials around anymore.
  --or--
     2.) ...this is really a top-secret national security clearance breach, 
         since it would be pretty sad state of affairs that we couldn't train 
         up a lot of pilots quickly in the event that the U.S. was in a war.
  --or--
     3.) ...we are half-assing it in the attempt at avoiding a wider war with 
         Russia.
     4.) ...the F-16 is so advanced, and Ukrainian pilots are so under-trained, 
         that it is taking significantly longer than usual.  (Also maybe because
         of language barriers, or the U.S. trainers have to be extra careful to 
         not disclose the "best" features that U.S. F-16's have, that those abroad
         don't have.
     5.) ...can't rule out a combination of all of the above.
     6.) other?

  B.) This is some sort of false information
     1.) ...to throw Russia off, and we are really training up lots of 
         Ukrainian pilots.
     2.) ...to keep our pilot training capabilities secret.
     3.) ...to appear disorganized, in the hopes that it delays a potential
         Chinese invasion of Taiwan (since American's are so inept
         that they don't think they have to move with haste).
     4.) other?


My civil rights were recently violated by a Detective Sergeant Supervisor of Orlando Police Department because he did not like that fact that I was meeting with politicians and was also a medical marijuana patient. He, his son, his wife, and his son's friends began harassing me for nearly 2 years after attempted reports to Internal Affairs and the Chief of Orlando Police Department Eric Smith.

The Detective Sergeant Supervisor eventually came into my workplace and Baker Acted me, placing me into a mental institution for 5 1/2 days. The moment I got out of the mental institution I reported him and a few other deputies to the Governor of Florida, Ron DeSantis. Governor DeSantis responded immediately by firing three deputies and eventually managing the internal affairs complaint himself after continued stalking and harassment from two of the deputies, their children, children's friends, their own friends and family members.

He is now indicted and I am pushing for an indictment for his son.


Check out all the 1st amendment videos on yt...always carry a camera - for now, the camera doesn't lie.

In my country, photo/ video cannot be used in court.


I'll just leave this here until it gets deleted or flagged.


Ukraine: Attack of the Drones

"A Ukrainian military technology device called Tsukorok detects if Russian drones such as ZALA, Orlan, or the kamikaze Lancet drone are above a soldier, prompting them to disperse or get out. However, as of now, Ukraine lacks a solution for the penetration of long-range Russian reconnaissance drones into its rear."


Attempting to encourage participation in the defense industries....a proof of concept laser pod for F-16's?
