    Us hypersonic program has been a total failure so far. Getting one, sea launchable is increasing difficulty level. Trump’s ego ballroom project is having enough incompetence issues already before letting him hand out contracts for new battleship designs to eric.

    Don’t let the traitor near the military. He’ll destroy your real power now that he’s crushed all your soft power.

        Just read on the same site how Ukraine drove russia to protect russians in Ukraine. That is why the war started.

            Past post you have argued that the Uyghurs genocide is a hoax and tiananmen square was a false flag operation made up by the west.

            In this post, you use opinion pieces, pro-russia voices, and single sources multiple times. You ae a straw man.

            Go back to arguring for Jill Stein for president or how pete heagseth is tell the truth about Ukraine.

              Ah yes, the invisible genocide that’s totally taking place with no evidence despite supposedly occurring in a region that saw 300 million tourists last year. Who’s source is one evangelical crank who’s never even been there, and the story of which is spread endlessly by the US, the biggest known liar country who is currently engaging in a real genocide and spent a year lying about that too.

              I totally believe it.

              pro-russia voices

              You are begging the question.

              1. Russian voices are full of shit.
              2. This person said something that Russians have also said.
              3. This person is a Russian voice.
              4. This person is full of shit.

               
              If Hitler said the sky is blue, would that make it not blue? Relatedly, Philosophy professor Hans-Georg Moeller explains the worrisome new German concept of the “Versteher”, or “understander”.

              Go back to arguring for Jill Stein for president or how pete heagseth is tell the truth about Ukraine.

              I never argued for anyone to vote for Stein, and I don’t even know what Hegseth has to say about Ukraine. You must listen to him more than me.

                  Not a straw man: you did indeed use “pro-Russia voices” as a bullshit dismissal.

    The shipbuilding industry in America has enough trouble trying to build frigates, I am not sure how Trump is going to get his ego-stroking battleships that no one in the Navy asked for.
