It's like a basic reading comprehension thing....

The ship is located in the Weddell Sea, which is north of Antarctica.

Over 4 million voters were disenfranchised during the election.

Don't forget this part.

Why impetus does any country have to make a 'deal' with a guy who's literally shredded the deals he previously made less than a decade ago?

He's also old as fuck. He's going to die soon, so why would anyone want a deal right now?

Could be. It could also be as simple as using an actual Russian phone, and having an app on the phone that flies the drone.

We don't know, and I don't want to know so they can keep doing it.

Oh cmon dude. There are actual reasons that the west escalated their aid over a time.

It's not a reason I agree with, but their logic in doing so is also entirely justifiable.

Those bombers have been wantonly dropping cruise missiles of to hit Ukraine. Both are significant.

It's even worse than that.

They have roughly 120 *total bombers. Meaning a chunk of these are not air worthy air frames, and are just kept on for parts.

This very well could have crippled 40+ percent of all of Russias strategic bombers.

Exactly. This is a massive strike that we fully won't know the repercussions of for a little bit. We'll just have to see how their optempo changes. It honestly could be even worse for them. They have 120 of those bombers, period. Meaning some of them might not even be air worthy at all and are just spare parts.

Totally. This is fucking huge for the war.

Robin Williams.

That man was a staple of my childhood, and him passing felt like the final nail in the coffin to where my childhood ended.

You get it, brother.

This actually has huge implications for the war in general. Russias nuclear triad just had the dick blown off of it,

I'd be willing to wager that this was most, if not all the active bombers being used in the Ukrainian theatre. If they are following a loose rule of 3rds with their birds (deployed and flying missions, being prepped for deployment, shut down receiving repairs/overhauls), this very well could severely limit Russia's ability to keep up their cruise missile bombardment.

If that's the case, that frees up Ukraine to be much more flexible with their air defenses.

Not to mention if they were able to pull off a mission like this, allegedly using cell towers to fly their drones, what's stopping them from doing similar limited missions to tank factories, recruit depots, and other places that are further away from the front? Literally all of these targets now become viable because they will be much less heavily guarded than the nuclear triad bombers.

Protecting those assets pulls material and meat from the front lines, which further helps Ukraine.

I can't help but see this as a massive positive swing in momentum for Ukraine.

If a Republican crippled a historic enemies military without a single soldier dying and did so using a fraction of the US military budget they would put him on Mt. Rushmore, but since Biden did it they, and the entire media apparatus, called him a bumbling fool and senile.

Just like how Reagan gets credit for 'ending the Cold War' when a ton of the legwork for that was put in place by Kennedy, Eisenhower, (yes Nixon too), and LBJ and Carter.

Biden has flaws, and I wish Biden really did more to help Ukraine in the beginning of the war, but him helping out and clearing so much equipment to them was a genuinely good thing that he did while in office.
