This is a pretty smart move. Cheap, too.

 

 

US buys 81 Soviet-era combat aircraft from Russia's ally costing on average less than $20,000 each, report says

• The US has purchased 81 Soviet-era combat aircraft from Kazakhstan, a report from the Kyiv Post says.

• Kazakhstan, a historic ally of Russia, is engaging more with Western nations.

• The planes could be used for spare parts or as decoys in conflict regions, the Kyiv Post reported.

The US has acquired 81 obsolete Soviet-era combat aircraft from Kazakhstan, a report from the Kyiv Post says.

Kazakhstan, which is upgrading its air fleet, auctioned off 117 Soviet-era fighter and bomber aircraft, including MiG-31 interceptors, MiG-27 fighter bombers, MiG-29 fighters, and Su-24 bombers from the 1970s and 1980s.

The Kyiv Post reported that the declared sale value was one billion Kazakhstani tenge, or $2.26 million, equalling an average value for each plane of $19,300.

The outlet cited reports from the Ukrainian Telegram channel Insider UA and the Russian news site Reporter saying the US purchased 81 of the aged, unusable warplanes.

The Kyiv Post reported that the motive behind the US purchase remained undisclosed but that the aircraft could be used in Ukraine, where similar aircraft are in service.

I really want to know who is behind these protests.  
 

We all might be very surprised.

Not really. Other than it feels like something is not like how it seems to everyone jumping to quick conclusions.

Right wingers astroturfing the s#!t out of this because they think it’s good for them and bad for Dems. Rinse, repeat.

Certainly possible, doubtful, but possible, and you would definitely know if arrests are ever made because the names become public.

Joins a long history of the Pentagon trying to control the optics of their wars. It's interesting that the soldiers want to own the fact that they killed Afghan civilians in the post-bombing chaos.

Why would it be doubtful?

 

There’s a long, storied history of the American right wing ratf#&%ing our politics.

 

Dems do too, they’re just nowhere near as good at it.

Genuinely asking, is there any recent (past 5-10 years) precedence for what you are saying?

“Biden is senile”

 

The “Just walk away” movement 

 

Trump fluffing JFK Jr.

 

Roger Stone’s entire existence.

 

All narratives heavily pushed by right wingers (or just outright foreign bots online) purporting to actually be dissatisfied left wingers.

I’m no where close to a fan of Bolton’s. 
 

But I’ll guarantee he knows way more than the dimwit he’s arguing with.

I honestly don’t believe we are taking about the same things here.   People saying Biden is “senile” (he is kinda a mushbrain at this point) is equal to mobbing on a college campus and threatening Jews?  I have no idea what the just walk away movement is and Trump fluffing RFK Jr (Not JFK Jr) is equatable to mobbing on college campuses and threatening Jews?  Roger Stone????  What does he have to do with anything here besides coming up with tinfoil conspiracies?
