So many morally imperative spending requirements: so little productivity.
I’m sure all the chuds will be in shortly to tell us we shouldn’t be meddling in remote conflicts…
Is it enough? With Ukraine on the backfoot once again and the US at risk of withdrawing support, don’t we and Europe need to step it up if we want to keep Putin east of the dneiper?
What else can we do? Have we put in orders with BAE Systems already or are we going to do that next year and complain how it takes time?
We’ve already announced sending nearly 1,000 of these missiles, and they have been photographed in transit so they definitely exist…
But I think I’ve seen just two videos of these in use in the wild in places like /r/ukraine – and I’ve been looking, because I once did a teeny, tiny bit of work on the original development of this capability.
So I wonder how well they have been received. Are they just too technically difficult to use in anger, are they being kept back for some major operation, or maybe the UK has been really strict about videoing them…
It could be more, but Jeremy Cunt and Rishi Soonackered want to dish out tax cuts to rich people before the election instead
Does the military replace these missiles for our own reserves?
We should keep shovelling money into this fire. We have no global competitors anyway.
We should be providing ammunition for this shit they already have…..
This is a war on our doorstep in Europe. We shouldn’t be dilly-dallying around with supporting a neighbour. Either all-in or not at all.
The only way this will end is if the whole of Europe stands up and supports Ukraine 100%.
As it is we are sending stuff ad-hoc and its becomming a foreever war – with no one winning.
