What does Trump's victory mean for NATO - listed from most certain to worst:

1) Operation Atlantic Resolve, which protects Eastern Europe since russia's invasion of Ukraine, will almost certainly end.
2) The only two US Army brigades in Europe (2nd Cavalry Regiment in 🇩🇪 &
1/4

173rd Airborne Brigade in 🇮🇹🇩🇪) will very likely return to the US.
3) US Air Force units in Europe will likely be reduced, but I doubt Trump will close the bases... he needs them to bomb Iran.
4) US nuclear sharing with 🇩🇪🇮🇹🇳🇱🇧🇪🇹🇷 will likely end, leaving Europe without

tactical nuclear weapons.
5) Trump could pull US officers and assets from NATO's command structure... which would cripple NATO commands like the Allied Air Command, Allied Land Command, Joint Forces Command Naples, etc. leaving NATO unable to command forces to fight a russian

russia isn't a superpower.
Never was a superpower.

Got whooped by Japan in 1905, couldn't beat Austria-Hungary & was trashed by Germany in 1914-17, barely beat the Chechens in the 1990s.

The only time moscow led a superpower was post WWII, after the russians enslaved the

people of Eastern Europe.
Once Poland, Romania, Czechia, Slovakia, Hungary, Bulgaria, Ukraine, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan threw of their colonial oppressor, russia reverted

back to a mid power. Economically weak, military crappy, politically shitty, culturally retarded.

putin's invasion of Ukraine was the first step in his plan to return russia to superpower status by colonizing russia's neighbours again.

But the invasion exposed that russia

Ukraine Kursk Offensive: first results:

1) embarrasses putin & weakens his position ✅
2) forces russia to move troops from Donbas & Southern Ukraine to Kursk & Bryansk, which weakens russian's frontline in the South ✅
3) forces russia to send fighters & helicopters forward
1/4

to compensate for russia's lack of ground forces in Kursk, which gives Ukrainian anti-aircraft units ample opportunities to shoot down russian aircraft ✅
4) Ukrainian troops continuously maneuvering / advancing, while disrupting russian communications through the use of EW,
2/4

forces russian reinforcement convoys to loiter within GMLRS/ATACMS range, while russian officers try to figure out where Ukrainian forces are. Thus enabling Ukraine to strike the russians & cause mass casualty events ✅
5) provides Ukraine with territory & POWs to trade ✅

#TheAcolyte - SPOILERS!

The vicious online reaction to The Acolyte shows, that right-wing "media critics" are film-illiterate grifters, who latch onto even the most minuscule line to disparage each episode. All to confirm their delusion that media involving #LGBTQ & colored

creators are an attack on the "white male", who they pretend to be the true arbiter of "culture".

@Lucasfilm even gave a hint in the first line of the first trailer that this is a #Rashomon style story. This didn't stop these "critics" to complete lose it after the first
2/5

flashback episode, which is a child's viewpoint.

Disney's third trailer showed us that what we saw in the child's flashback (left image) isn't, what actually happened (right image).

The Acolyte is by no means as good as #Andor (which is an anti-fascist masterpiece), but

And in case the russians would have done something funny: there are some additional 50+ P-8A Poseidon at Naval Air Station Jacksonville, which is also home to the 159th Fighter Squadron, which

For 20 years war criminals from Karabakh had Armenia in their iron grip. In 2018 they were forced by the people to allow free elections and the democratic opposition won 70% of the vote, while the Karabakh criminals' party lost 90% of its votes and did not enter parliament.

Aftet the disastrous defeat in the 2nd Karabakh war, the Karabakh clans demanded a snap elections, got it, and were crushed again with the democratic and pro-peace forces of Pashinyan receiving 54% and the two let's-have-more-Karabakh-wars parties at 26%.
Now, as Pashinyan is

negotiating a peace treaty with Azerbaijan, the same Karabakh clans try to overthrow the government with street protests led by a bishop, who is for issuing ridiculous ultimatums.
The deranged Armenian diaspora is hyping up the bishop and protest, and theu are salivating at
