The United States announced on Wednesday it will supply Ukraine with 31 advanced M1 Abrams tanks worth $400 million in a matter of months, a decision that helped break a diplomatic logjam with Germany over how best to help Kyiv in its war against Russia....Skans » 26 Jan 2023, 8:49 am » wrote: ↑ That's a lot of technology to dump into the laps of the Russians. I mean, if we don't have American tank operators, are we not simply handing over at least some of these tanks to the Russians? I would hope that all of them, at a minimum, have been equipped with self-destruct capability via satellite.

The total cost of a single Abrams tanks can vary, and can be over $10 million per tanks when including training and sustainment....

I'm sure Vlad would love to get his hands on one...the question remains, are we "loaning them or giving them to Ukraine? Are we operating or training? You know what always happens when you borrow something, it always has a scratch in the paint, or worse yet, a dent...*GASPS*
Yesterday's morning news reported it would be over a year...I almost spit up my morning brew as I was wondering if they were shipping them by oar boat...Beekeeper » 26 Jan 2023, 7:54 am » wrote: ↑ Actually it's not. 30 days and they will be fully operational. You have to consider that ALL of the older M1-A1 Abrams are being completely refitted with new armament, newer armor, and also newer aiming hardware and software, that there are HUNDREDS of them ready to roll right now.
There is a rebuild shop in Florida where they do all these retrofits into the M1-A2 unit and I know that RR flat cars full of them are moved monthly to Ft Benning Georgia for training AND relocation to wherever needed.

"Try to get past your passionate ignorance and learn to accept what actually happened." ~ brown's unheeded words of wisdom Nothing. As I said, Russia already has an agreement in place with Xi Jinping to deliver any captured US military equipment to them. It is part of the agreement whereby Russians were permitted to hide financial assets, in contemplation of sanctions, by washing them through China's banking system before deploying that wealth globally.ROG62 » 26 Jan 2023, 9:14 am » wrote: ↑ what's gonna stop Vlad from giving it to the Chinese as both would benefit?

What locations qualify? Anywhere in Scandinavia, The Netherlands, Belgium and the northern half of France. Even Iceland which isn't an EU country, but where the residents may be the most content on the face of the earth. And if you don't mind perpetual winter, it's beautiful.

whose citizens are not content and are perpetually protesting their own Governments in the streets because they have had enough of European progressivism , Environmental Authoritarianism , and leftwing America and NATO's disregard for their citizenry whom are being forced into destitution by keeping the Ukraine war perpetually going.
And if you move ....maybe you will actually appreciate what you have left behind ....even though Schmuck's like you are the biggest reason America is turning into a ****.
so have at her....
move.
At this point I think it's fair to say that America and NATO are at war openly with Russia .....
China and Russia have set the precedent for that. I am a strong advocate for the invasion of Mexico to confiscate land and establish of a "no-go" zone 40 miles deep along our border.Taipan » 26 Jan 2023, 1:51 pm » wrote: ↑

Just like China arming North Viet Nam or North Korea..."nothing to see here folks!"Majik » 26 Jan 2023, 1:55 pm » wrote: ↑ At this point I think it's fair to say that America and NATO are at war openly with Russia .....
The only thing we are not providing Zelensky is the manpower.....as of yet.
and this latest escalation could now change Russia's focus to taking all of the Ukraine or at the very least flattening all of it and all of it's infrastructure making the country unsustainable and a complete write off.
secondly ....
It gives Russia political currency with many of the other Nuclear superpowers whom haven't cut ties to Russia like China ,India, Pakistan etc.....
That if Russia feels threatened enough it may be forced to use small tactical nukes on various NATO countries in response to these escalations.
and let's be honest here .....
even with all of the **** bravado coming from Biden, Trudeau and NATO ....If Russia decided to use small tactical Nukes on European targets there would not be an immediate nuclear response by America or NATO because of those other Nuclear superpowers I previously mentioned because if there were it would put America and Europe in the cross hairs of Russia's nuclear allies.
and in my opinion The US military at this time is weak and not capable of fighting a world war and neither is NATO they are both playing a dangerous game of "call my bluff " right now which may just backfire via their escalations.
and I don't believe that The U.S. and NATO would embrace mutually assured destruction over the Ukraine ....which is just a proxy of their own making and would sacrifice it in a nanosecond if confronted with this kind of scenario.
just saying....
