This guy is not a #democrat. Clearly wants #war in Europe.

In a discussion about this post, I pointed out that Russia winning would be cheaper, and the "non-partisan" think tank in his OP is funded quite heavily by #U.S. #defence #contractors/suppliers. I made a total of 3 comments regarding the content of the OP. Then, again, on deciding he couldn't "win" a conversation, he simply deleted everything and #blocked me.

This guy is a #podmin. I wasn't rude, or aggressive, simply stated that letting Russia win would be cheaper, and that the so-called "non-partisan" think tank he was using was likely biased..

He claims to be "protecting" his users. Actually he's stifling debate to promote his own agenda. Last conversation I had with him was also about "protecting" is audience, where he produced no evidence that other people he was banning, were "racists".

I wouldn't recommend this pod.

Taurus manufacturer criticises German government for slow signing of defence contracts

MBDA, the manufacturer of Taurus missiles, insists on speeding up the German government's decision-making on production orders.

The Taurus missiles will no longer be produced, as the defence industry is not allowed to produce stockpiles without orders.

"It is a challenge for our industry when production is interrupted, as in the case of Taurus. In such cases, our suppliers, who are often small and medium-sized companies, stop production," Gottschild said.

With new orders, suppliers will first have to reorient themselves and secure raw materials, for example

The arms industry needs a base load of production,

"This is enough to make it worthwhile to maintain supply chains, keep test equipment up to date and maintain the competence of employees," he added

#Pentagon accused of blocking effort to hand #Russia #war #crimes #evidence to #ICC

Source: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/mar/08/pentagon-international-criminal-court-russia-war-crimes

The #Biden #WhiteHouse and state department have been a proponent of cooperation with the Hague-based ICC, as a means of holding Russian forces accountable for widespread war crimes, but the #defence department is firmly opposed on the grounds that the precedent could eventually be turned against US soldiers.

I'm so glad that it's clear who the good guys are, otherwise you might have doubts.

Fighting back in a #war is not #terror but can be a war crime if civilians are the target.

#Fact Check: Are U.S. #Troops on the Ground in #Ukraine? YES!

source: https://www.newsweek.com/russia-ukraine-pentagon-weapons-biden-1756387

A Military.com report cited comments by Pentagon spokesman Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder that the inspectors would not be near the #frontline, and that "Ukrainians are working very closely with us to provide insight and tracking of those capabilities in places where it's not safe for U.S. personnel to go."

U.S. troops in Ukraine departed on February 14, 10 days before the #invasion, apart from those who provide security in the U.S. #Embassy in #Kyiv.
