Yep, that’s Alex Christoforou channeling Jerry Lee Lewis. We’ll get to that below but, since this Friday afternoon post might appear a bit disjointed, here’s the thumbnail roadmap. I’ll be presenting news bits that will be addressed in the Alex’s monologue. However, since the video is for subscribers I can’t embed it and will have to summarize it—too long for a transcript now.
I would think that Putin is perfectly happy with the present state of affairs. You want peace? Sue me.
He has achieved much more than he set himself out to do when he started this, and only has the problem of finding enough bombs and shells to keep destroying all the equipment we are sending over before it can be employed. It's a good thing we have no problem finding the money for this now that we have the "Fiscal Responsibility Act" with no debt ceiling, so the kiddies in Congress have a credit card with no spending limit, and the Ukrainians still have a supply of cannon fodder.
A-10 Warthogs, too old, too slow, too ugly---even if it does extremely well and is cheap. Must have moar F-35s❗
We can build airframes capable of taking G-forces in excess of what a human can tolerate. But, as DepDave knows, "no human pilot in the cockpit, can't have that"
Same argument for the CVN, essentially obsolete, now that unmanned airframes, if produced, would be essentially superior to 'traditional' piloted carrier aviation.
No more big-decks should be built. Use what we have until they are sent for scrapping then be done with it.
Listening Mercouris now. He's saying that the breakthrough, to succeed, had to happen in 1-3 days. Didn't happen. Plan B seems to be kill more Ukrainians.

I think this is the Alex Christoforou video Mark cites. Maybe not available on YouTube, but it is on Bitchute:

They don't. They lie in earth-filled coffins in the crypt.
Common sensical.
Phrase of the week, thanks Mark.
Our coasts extend around the world. I knew this before, but ...

Just when you think things can't get crazier...
Nothing new.
From April 2021:
https://e.vnexpress.net/news/news/us-hands-over-training-facilities-to-vietnam-coast-guard-4264765.html
and while looking for that above link (and, btw, never found any US sources for the same info) I came across this from 2017:
https://www.pacom.mil/Media/News/News-Article-View/Article/1194701/united-states-transfers-six-coastal-patrol-boats-to-vietnam-coast-guard/
In addition to coastal patrol boats, apparently the US is also sending cutters, a larger vessel:

But news like this cannot be good for the Vietnamese CG, nor for the US sponsors:

It's everybody in the world corrupt?
Mercouris: Russia Repels Ukr Attacks, Claims Controls All Contact Line
The A-10 was, as far as I recall, the last successful US aviation weapons project, developed at around the same time as the F-16.
