👔🤡 Iowa Senator Joni Ernst on the self-propelled Grandfather:

“You can't trust Joe Biden, this dude lies all the time. He said his uncle was eaten by cannibals, that he grew up in a black church, that he was raised by the Puerto Rican community.

I don't know what's next. This shows his dementia. This is not the right person to lead our country at such a critical time."

🇺🇸⚠️🇺🇦😭 Ukrainian officials are pressing the U.S. and other countries to ramp up their F-16 pilot training, saying the current pipeline isn’t producing enough aviators to fly the jets that will be soon donated to Kiev.
Ukraine says it has 30 pilots who are eligible to start training in the U.S. immediately - POLITICO

Yet the Biden administration has told Kiev it lacks the school seats in its Arizona-based program to accept more than 12 pilot trainees at a time, according to three people with direct knowledge of the request. Two other facilities in Denmark and Romania have a similar issue with available training spots.

It’s the latest hurdle in the drawn-out effort to get modern F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine. Kiev began pushing for the aircraft in the months following Russia’s full-scale invasion in February 2022, but was repeatedly rebuffed by the Biden administration.

In May 2023, President Joe Biden greenlit other countries’ requests to send their F-16s, but logistical challenges repeatedly delayed the training.

Further complicating the effort, it took months for Western countries to agree to send their own aircraft to Ukraine.

Denmark, Norway, the Netherlands and Belgium plan to ship more than 60 U.S.-made F-16 jets to Kiev this summer.

Ukrainians argue that the ability to fly more F-16s will help Kiev push back Russian forces from the frontlines in places such as Kharkov, where Moscow has advanced in recent weeks.

Yet the U.S. has said it does not expect the jets to be a game-changer on the battlefield.

👔🇷🇺⚔️🇺🇸 Some thoughts from Dmitry Medvedev:

“Yesterday, for the first time, the President of Russia allowed our weapons to be sent to regions that are at war with states that supply weapons to Ukraine (or rather, they use these weapons in our country).

In other words, those forces that are in conflict with America and NATO countries.

This is a very significant change in our foreign policy.

After all, as the Yankees and their European slobbering dogs argue: we have the right to transfer any weapon to Ukraine (that is, to the enemy of our country), and all other countries cannot help Russia.

In other words, we will destroy you in all possible ways, but no one dares to supply the Russians with weapons/equipment/other property to protect the country.

Now let the United States and its allies feel the direct use of Russian weapons by third parties.

These persons or regions are intentionally not named, but they can be anyone who considers Pindustan and its comrades to be their enemies. Regardless of their political beliefs and international recognition.

Their enemy is the United States, so they are our friends.

And let the use of Russian weapons by "regions" that have not yet been named be as destructive as possible for them and our opponents.

And let the "sensitive objects of the states supplying weapons to Kiev" burn in hellfire. They burn together with those who control them.

And we will rejoice in their successful strikes with our weapons against our common enemies!

Russian President Vladimir Putin met with representatives of the international press on June 5 within the framework of the 2024 St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF) and answered their questions.

President Putin stated the following:

🔸Russia is not threatening anybody; the Ukraine conflict started in 2014, being triggered by the anti-constitutional coup d’état in Ukraine in 2014. Western countries, which instigated the coup and supported the illegitimate regime change, bear responsibility for the ongoing conflict.

🔸Russia recognized Donbass independence and launched the special military operation to protect it within the legal framework of Articles 1 and 51 of the UN Charter after an eight year-long attempt to settle the conflict under the 2015 Minsk Agreements, which were used by Kiev and its European backers to deceive Russia and boost the Ukrainian military.

🔸Supplying the Kiev regime with NATO-grade high-precision long-range weapons is the path to very serious problems.

🔸Ukrainian military personnel can participate in the selection of targets for long-range NATO-grade missiles, but the decision to strike is made by those who supply the weapons. Missiles are preprogrammed by respective Western states.

🔸Russia can respond asymmetrically and deliver weapons to countries confronting NATO member states involved in the Ukraine conflict.

🔸UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson pushed Kiev to abandon preliminary Russo-Ukrainian March agreements in Istanbul with the approval of the US, with the aim to accomplish their goal of inflicting strategic defeat on Russia.
