OK. Well, President Biden is our man. I stand by him.
Imagine being in the Ukraine and hearing that.
Imagine being in Ukraine and hearing that Putin is a genius and what he's doing is smart. Imagine being in Ukraine and your children got killed by a Russian bomb, and hearing that Putin is a genius amd what he did is smart. Imagine being in Ukraine, and your children got killed by a Russian bomb, and someone in the U.S. is using that to score political points against Democrats.
Imagine bing in Mexico and hearing perhaps the future US president wants to do the same to Mexico!
I think the point was: imagine being in the Ukraine and hearing that NATO countries will wait a month or so to see if "things work out" and then maybe reconsider stricter sanctions. Not sure what was confusing about that.
What’s so confusing that Trump thinks that Putin is a genius and we should do the same to our southern border, which is Mexico.
Mexico is a failed state. You will see American AirPower unleashed over Mexico within this century.

SWIFT will come in time, but the announced actions will have a similar impact.

Two U.S. intelligence officials, one Western intelligence official and another person briefed on the matter say no final decisions have been made, but they say U.S. intelligence and military cyber warriors are proposing the use of American cyberweapons on a scale never before contemplated. Among the options: disrupting internet connectivity across Russia, shutting off electric power, and tampering with railroad switches to hamper Russia’s ability to resupply its forces, three of the sources said.
“You could do everything from slow the trains down to have them fall off the tracks,” one person briefed on the matter said.
the bolded was retracted. They were talking about which assets were priority protects in the US. Can we please try to be accurate in the posts or ask Jeff to delete ones that are no longer valid?
