Comedian raises $120m to supply Ukraine’s army

The first man to buy his country’s military a satellite smiles when he remembers how Ukraine’s defence minister asked him to find one. It seemed an odd request

I would not be a bit surprised to learn of Ukrainian drones over Tehran.

What?? No Abrams or Leopard 2s destroyed?

They were all wiped out in April. Obviously

I am dissappointed at how Israel has not provided direct military aid to Ukraine. The Israelis are the last people I would expect to be concerned of how Moscow may perceive them.

The Israelis too are operating over Syria, with Russian planes sharing the airspace. I suspect they're more worried about Hezbollah resupply than Ukrainian.

I dare a Russian-crewed Sukhoi to try to shoot down an Israeli F-35, F-15 or F-16. Within the month Israel's support to Ukraine would dramatically increase.

Who said anything about anyone shooting down another? Working alongside other nations requires much more nuance than that, involving weighting benefits and trade-offs, that don't involve a shoot-down.

Once again, Putin has shown an amazing level of hypocrisy. His forces have been bombarding civilian targets in Ukraine for over a year, and he has the insane level of gall to claim a similar attack on any target in Russia is terrorism?

Did he forget to take his anti-stupidity medications again? We know he should be on heavy doses of anti-hypocrisy medication, but a [redacted] judge has decided to revoke its FDA approval.

 

[Thumpalumpacus]

I imagine an effective dose would also be fatal in his case.

Israel has to walk a fine line with Russia in order to maintain relative peace in their region.

This very subject came up a while back in regards to sharing their Iron Dome system with Ukraine.

They want to help and are doing as much as they can without getting Moscow's panties in a wad.

True for most politicians and many bureaucrats.

That would be the proper dose

Good point. I'd say it goes both ways though, hence Putin sending Lavrov to Israel to apologize/clarify re. his antisemitism. Israel is not to be pushed.

Putin views Ukraine the same way Lincoln viewed the Confederacy, a break-away region that needs to be brought back into the (Soviet) Union. Thus, punative strikes on rebel populations are legitimate. But because he does not recognize the right of self- defense in what is to him a rebellious part of the Rodina, any resistance is an act of treason.

 

[GrauGeist]

Putin pretty much sees all of the former Soviet Union or Russian Empire possessions as belonging to his Russia.

The problem with his view, is that the vast majority of said possessions were/are sovereign nations, some of which existed long before Russia was even founded.

Foolish Westerner, don't confuse the fables and myths told to you by your "historians". Moscow is the true seat of Eurasian civilization. And always has been.

 

[GrauGeist]

Ahh...right, my bad.

Those pesky Benadictine monks ran around and built all those fake Imperial Roman ruins and buried tens of thousands of fake artifacts to make us think that Rome (and Greece) were the real origins of modern Europe.
