US about to send BFV's ...

is this the start of a new wave of KIT...

wonder which tank they are thinking of becuase a Heavy MBT might not suite the bridges nor smaller roads.

Bradleys might be the perfect fit for the UKE style of fighting... bit like  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Stirling.

Did the UKE's study this guy?

Plus they all read urban warefare manuals apparently... or they made it up themselves as the whole country appears to be a bunch of game players..

With the House in a state with no speaker or 

controlled by https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximilien_Robespierre replubicans

US policy will be going no where and are they going to raise the debt ceiling...

will China brankrupt itself buiding Super carriers and going to mars?

Dell has started cutting many components in its computers from china.

Will the west start to realise it cant do business with china but it cant afford not to?

Horns of a dilemma and its enough to cause the next financial crisis if the CPP cant get the china economy back on its feet...

China now has an economic policy starting to resemble chaos...

Here come the tanks....

the scramble to offer a Menu of hardware to Ukraine.

After all no one want to be responsible for Ukraine being in a frozen conflict? or do they..
