Not sure a bunch of inflatable boats will scare the ruSSian Navy…
Yeah but the Ukrainian Navy just got a little quicker and more nimble. I get the Spec Ops like this package.
More than welcome. But it’s still crumbs from the rich man’s table. $57 billion/yr is the current overseas aid budget. Arguably nations having their citizens being murdered by Russia deserve the lion’s share.
It’s disgusting. It looks like a total humiliation. Not one single F-16. Not one single battleship. I’m really getting angry. This all keeps playing into Putin’s hands, who can say ‘ Well, ukies, where is your US/Nato support? Where is your EU? Eh?’ Awful. 😕
