Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Summary

For the first time, Ukraine launched a drone attack on Russian navy vessels in the Caspian Sea, striking the port city of Kaspiysk, far from the front lines.

Footage shared by Ukrainian authorities shows drones targeting Russian ships, with antiaircraft fire in the background. Russia’s Dagestan governor confirmed one drone was intercepted.

This attack marks another setback for the Russian navy, which has suffered heavy losses in the Black Sea due to Ukraine’s asymmetrical tactics.

Ukraine’s expanding long-range strike capability has enabled recent attacks on key Russian military sites.

Ukraine had better get its hits in before January unless Europe really ups its game between now and then. I'm sure they will fill the American vacuum quickly, but it's a question of how quickly they can do it.

We already started during this year. No sane leader trusted in a coin flip to guarantee our security. A possible Trump presidency was planned for.

At least Germany has already agreed to give more military aid to Ukraine

Sending US arms to Ukraine is less about Ukraine than it is giving money to the US arms manufacturers. I'm sure those influential military industrial complex fat cats will find ways to keep the cash flowing - even if they have funnel it through someone else.

I'm glad you're sure, but from other responses, it doesn't sound like European nations agree with you and they are working to fill the gap.

US arms manufacturers will have billions and billions flowing from Israel (read: USA tax payer)

They only have 3 months. Remember when trump asked him to make a fraudulent statement against Biden in exchange for aid? This guy remembers.
