Maybe it's part of the prisoner exchange: they get their big shot arms dealer and in addition to getting two lowly prisoners back, they get one of our big shot dealers.
Wrong country.
You're confusing China and Russia.

exactlyThis new "politically correct compliant" BS military Sucks!!, disgusting, and an embarrassment to all the men and women whom have served this great nation throughout it's 250+ years history (from the beginning of the establishment of the original 13 colonies to the end of our most recent conflict in Afghanistan).
This nonsense is being so oversold on the right wingnut side of the information spectrum. We still have finest military on the planet. The vast majority of its soldiers and leadership are professional and dedicated to the proposition of protecting this country - with their lives if necessary. No one is walking around with little rainbow coalition patches. One of our divisions would take apart any three similar organizations of any army in the world. The US Air Force is a decade or more ahead technologically than any other in the world, and those fighters and bombers are flown by the best trained and most experienced aviators on the planet. At sea, I am confident every one of Russia's boomers has a silent escort from the moment it leaves port. And no one in their right mind wants to tangle with Super Hornet much less an F35.This new "politically correct compliant" BS military Sucks!!, disgusting, and an embarrassment to all the men and women whom have served this great nation throughout it's 250+ years history (from the beginning of the establishment of the original 13 colonies to the end of our most recent conflict in Afghanistan).
As a point of order, the Guardian is a lefty rag of the highest order. They care nothing for the conflict in Ukraine or the people there. That article is a thinly veiled attack during against Boris and his conservative cabinet in the hopes of further hurting the conservatives before the next elections.and respectfully maybe you are right, maybe more nato weapons of war will stop this proxy war
who knows?, it sounds like many other American/nato theory's that we will have this crowd as our friends today because it suits us at this time and later it will turn into a they are against us plot
eg... the Taliban and many more
what really bothers me is that the first casualty is Truth, so when does BS turn into the Truth?
is it when your own backers finally have the gonads to criticise you?
eg... many many story's about how the sanctions on Russia have hurt Russia but then you have pro Ukrainian "the Guardian" come out with this article
The rouble is soaring and Putin is stronger than ever - our sanctions have backfired
Energy prices are rocketing, inflation is soaring and millions are being starved of grain. Surely Johnson knew this would happen?
Western sanctions against Russia are the most ill-conceived and counterproductive policy in recent international history. Military aid to Ukraine is justified, but the economic war is ineffective against the regime in Moscow, and devastating for its unintended targets. World energy prices are rocketing, inflation is soaring, supply chains are chaotic and millions are being starved of gas, grain and fertiliser. Yet Vladimir Putin’s barbarity only escalates – as does his hold over his own people.
To criticise western sanctions is close to anathema. Defence analysts are dumb on the subject. Strategy thinktanks are silent. Britain’s putative leaders, Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak, compete in belligerent rhetoric, promising ever tougher sanctions without a word of purpose. Yet, hint at scepticism on the subject and you will be excoriated as “pro-Putin” and anti-Ukraine. Sanctions are the war cry of the west’s crusade.
The reality of sanctions on Russia is that they invite retaliation. Putin is free to freeze Europe this winter. He has slashed supply from major pipelines such as Nord Stream 1 by up to 80%. World oil prices have surged and eastern Europe’s flow of wheat and other foodstuffs to Africa and Asia has been all but suspended.
Britain’s domestic gas bills face tripling inside a year. The chief beneficiary is none other than Russia, whose energy exports to Asia have soared, driving its balance of payments into unprecedented surplus. The rouble is one of the world’s strongest currencies this year, having strengthened since January by nearly 50%. Moscow’s overseas assets have been frozen and its oligarchs have relocated their yachts, but there is no sign that Putin cares. He has no electorate to worry him

Well, except for that Gay Pride Parade I saw on Patch Barracks this year, and of course the changes to the CNO reading list, and, of course there's the Air Force pronoun thing and...This nonsense is being so oversold on the right wingnut side of the information spectrum.

Yes, the services have given some lip service to some of the administration's social initiatives. Like it or not, our military leadership is dedicated to the notion of civilian control. They are expected to salute. I suspect all of us in this republic of ours should be very grateful for that.
