    I, honestly, haven't the faintest but if the U.S. pulls out we are almost certainly going to need the modern cheap drones instead of relying on Trump who prevaricates all the time. If that is the case I can see Ukraine being drawn towards NATO.

      I think we are already into drones, of some kind.
      Possibly not the cheapo ones.

      There is already a close co operation between Ukraine and European countries regarding swapping technology.

      One big problem is Europe is buying armaments from the US to give to Ukraine.

      When Biden was President there was talk about having him declared incompetent for office. Why hasn't that already happened to the Orange Idiot?

      Because the people agitating for Biden to go are the ones who want Trump to stay, @KT53.

        Trump wants to cut $6 billion from Nasa's budget next year; that will teach them for trying to smuggle Canadians around the moon.

          Wow. lets see training for a mission like that takes years. Guess the Canadian was drugged the whole time in training. The mind set of someone to be able to agree to a mission like that is unbelievable.

          The Democrats are showing an awesome side of themselves which encourages many to leave that party.

          I'd just like to thank your mate Tumpton for getting the Straits of Hormuz closed by Iran that that he and the crazy Israelis managed to get closed and now want to walk away, arseholes.

            Oh dear my English sense of humour causing issues.
            1) Trump has ongoing issues with Canada.
            2) Nasa select a Canadian astronaut for the "biggly beautiful" Artemis II mission round the moon.
            3) Artemis II launches.
            4) Trump notices that there is a Canadian on the trip, or more likely somebody dobs Nasa in.
            5) Trump demands a cut in Nasa's budget of $6 billion.

              Putin's paddy in part stems from Ukraine's desire to move well away from the Russian model of society and citizen control and join the EU and NATO @pete.

              Putin already has his eye on other EU states. The ex Soviet states in the Baltic and Finland which fought off a Russian invasion have all taken steps to secure their physical borders against a Russian invasion and others, like Belgium, Germany, Sweden are having to deal with daily incursions by drones disrupting airports and Russian flagged vessels hovering over undersea pipelines and communication cables.'

              As it is, Ukraine now has battle experience and techonological innovation with drones - offence and defence - that makes it a huge asset as an ally. They've already signed agreements with Arab states to swap anti Iran dorn tecnolgy for investment to fund Ukraine's defences.

                Trump is seeking $1.5 trillion dollars for the defense budget, to be spent on among other things a "Golden Dome" defence system, a "Golden Fleet" to include Trump class battleships " the fastest, the biggest, and by far, 100 times more powerful than any battleship ever built," Trump said.
                Meanwhile proposing cutting everything that benefits the working people.
                Now that sounds like the idea of a sane competent president who deserves the Nobel Peace prize and cares about the US citizens.

                  I think a LOT of people outside of MAGA land would agree that Trump is incompetent. Not sure what you mean about UK getting oil? Can you tell me where the UK gets most of its oil from rather than just parroting what Trump said? Asian, Chinese and India oil markets will suffer far more. It’s the consequence of these countries not getting oil that will hit manufacturing of lots of raw materials and goods that will hit the world economy, INCLUDING THE USA! Trump used to cozy up to the Middle East but I think the Qatari’s might want their plane back now.
