    Correct. The Abrams is one of The Big Five -- Abrams, Bradleys, Black Hawks, Chinooks, and Apaches. Other than what is in strategic prepositioned stocks across the globe, there ain't no extras. These will be coming from fighting units.

    Gen. McCaffrey is right. The Ukrainians could have the Abrams in 30 days and be fully trained up if the U.S. had the will. They're slow walking it because of Putin.

    Fuck that. Who gives a shit what Putin thinks is an escalation?

    Bless her heart.

    North Korea accused the United States and its allies of “further crossing the red line” by sending tanks to Ukraine.
    The US has a “sinister intention to realize its hegemonic aim by further expanding the proxy war for destroying Russia,” said Kim Yo Jong, the sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, in a statement run by North Korean media on Friday.
    She accused the US and other Western countries of “wrecking the global peace and the regional security while handing military hardware running into astronomical sums of money over to Ukraine in total disregard of Russia’s concern about security” – and vowed North Koreans would “always stand in the same trench” as the people of Russia.
