"It's one of the reasons I’ve always been optimistic about Ukrainian prospects. Time and time again they show adaptability and the ability to execute complex operations. The Russians still struggle in these areas"

There are some great quotes from the founder in the article about how this would scare the s**t out of people

RE: USA and Europe are happy help kill the Russian military
Very much agreed
This is the primary interest of the US and EU
What many people don't grasp is that does not mean that Ukraine gets to "win" or that Russia has to "lose"
It only means that the US & EU's goal is to degrade RU military

There are a million different ways to live your life
How you are living it, and where you are living it, are only one of those million
While you are in the pickle jar of living that 1 way, you can't read the label, or know otherwise
Try getting out there and living in a few different ones

Agreed
Ideally, it would be down to Muscovy and a bunch of former colonies, now independent countries
But that potential future terrifies China, US, and EU, so is an unlikely outcome
They all prefer the devil they know

Thanks!
RE: video
Thanks for the suggestion
It's a personal bias in how I learn/research
I can read a *lot* faster than I can watch videos, so tend to gravitate towards text

Nobody can give Ukraine F-16s without US consent
Europe could conceivably give them Typhoons but are unlikely to outright defy the US on this
Sweden's Gripen would actually be ideal but they don't have many of them and also won't risk their entry into NATO by immediately going against the US

Very much agreed on admiration.
For "together," the major powers need to be seen as the power brokers and final arbiters to retain their status, e.g. US, Germany, & France.
In addition, they want/need to retain bargaining chips for the anticipated peace negotiations.

It's frustrating to see how this is being drawn out.
The US may be planning to use it as leverage with Ukraine to force them to accept a peace settlement, e.g. "Cede Russia the Donbas and Crimea and then you get F-16s, more Abrams tanks, and can join NATO"

RE: construct a single-family dwelling in 48 hours
A subdivision of 3-D printed homes is being built in central Texas, USA
It takes them about 2 weeks to print a home
In contrast, it takes about 2 - 3 days to frame a new home of similar size
