Is Trump Soviet/Russian agent?

This is a far cry from the "kill switch." The inability to jam radar of the defenders will slow the advantage that the F16 has but certainly not "kill" their lethal ability or ability to fly. Technicalities matter. Is there any other on-off button that I haven't heard of? A remote "kill switch" is a really cool feature but is only conjecture and wishful thinking by a journalist.

I very much disagree with this sentiment. I believe that the existing governments of this world are in the process of restoring back their old boundaries as we near the great war that is coming. I do not believe that Putin desires to take Europe or really expand into other regions not formerly their empire(however he sees it), but I do believe that he will be dragged into a war with Israel against his will. He will still fight though and will get what comes to those that do.

Ukraine does not have any intrinsic right to be an independent people any more than the USA did from Great Britain. Their ability to garner so much support so far is due to the world leaders wanting to weaken Putin more than anything they feel for the Ukrainian people's desire to be independent. Just as the French supported us in our independence so as to weaken Great Britain, the world has rallied with Zelenski to weaken Putin.

We need to ask ourselves, why are we there?

Perhaps J. D. Vance's cousin will enlighten you and answer your questions.

Can CNN hold any truths? I stopped watching them eons ago.

It’s asinine that people would think that the opinion of a person who fought in Ukraine has any bearing on policy and diplomacy.
Oh! He is the VP’s cousin! Stop the presses, this guy needs to be the head policy advisor!
This shows the weakness of the opposition. They got nothing.

Seriously, the only logical conclusion that I could see him pointing towards is to destroy Russia because they are arming and will increasingly arm themselves if there is a ceasefire.

At what point does a soldier make international policy?

When CNN gives more credence to a grunt than to an elected Senator and VP...because he spouts their propaganda.

But it shows how gullible they think their viewers are.

(Even so, he's smarter'n that 'interviewer.')

Heard that Hungary will have referendum about staying in EU. Don't know will result be advisory or mandatory for government.

Looks I was wrong. It's refendum for Ukraine EU membership.

Orbán calls referendum on Ukraine's EU membership

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán is taking a novel approach to the years-long controversy over whether or not Ukraine should be granted status as a European Union member state: asking the bloc’s existing citizens. Orbán told Hungarian reporters in Brussels on Thursday evening that Hungary...

I work on airplanes, I have never heard of a "kill switch". Source?

I posted a source. You should read it.

At the point the soldier shoots at another soldier across an international border.

At least Orban will probably allow -- unlike the UK, which kept demanding "do-overs" every time the vote went the wrong way -- the Hungarian people to have a say.

But I'd be willing to be that he knows they want OUT.

Please pardon my snobbish remark. For sake of your own moral clarity, I want to ask. Are you not embarrassed by selecting willful ignorance, when did this become a virtue?

This person who fought in Ukraine for 3 years when he speaks has more credence than any person who just reads articles. Nate Vance had to put his life on the line, it is not trivial matter for him, he spoke with Ukrainian soldiers and other foreign fighters comparing notes. Who would you rather believe a person like Nate Vance or person like this?

How’s about we let all the soldiers on the front line vote on what to do?

This is why the Vance video has no impact to me. From a foxhole, you will almost always think that the other guy is the one on the wrong side of history. But, in reality, soldiers on both sides rarely understand the real reasons that the wars are being fought. Or why this hill is important but that one over there wasn't. The guys doing the dying, are are not the ones that have the knowledge of politics and wars come from politics.
Politicians, they start'em and resolve'em. For better of for worse...

True, but I think that at this very moment a majority of the ones on the front lines know that things aren’t going well and would vote to end the war or nuke Russia.
