QuoteMy understanding is that a push is expected after mud season ends, which is coming up.Isn't the push already happening? The Russians are keen to do all they can before the US aid arrives on the front line.
Quote from: Barrister on Today at 10:48:36 AMSo as I understand it (and dammit Jim! I'm a lawyer, not a soldier) Patriot has proven to be extremely effective against even Russia's hypersonic missiles. It is however a fairly expensive system, with each patriot missile running in the millions of dollars.
As we are now seeing in both Ukraine, and Israel, is the use of mass numbers of UAVs or drones with are quite inexpensive to produce, and also in Gaza the use of cheap and dumb rockets. Iron Dome is (I think) more cost effective as a result, plus (as Josquis points out) it's a more local technology (although developed with US assistance) which means fewer restrictions on its use.
The timing definitely does make one think these Patriots might be showing up in Ukraine sooner or later, but just Israel doesn't want to publicize that fact because for some reason it still values its relations with Russia.

Is there a better term for fiddling elections to up your chances that doesn't touch boundaries?
Without a doubt it is what they've done here. Mayors for a long time were elected under a fairer system... But this damaged their chances.

I don't agree with it being FTTP but it's not gerrymandering. No boundaries have changed
