NOBODY in the world except for Ukraine has ever used American air defense systems in combat successfully against Russia’s “hypersonic” missiles. Since December 29, Russia launched a barrage of these missiles against residential areas of Ukrainian cities.
Every time Ukraine uses a Patriot system to down a Russian hypersonic Kh-47M2 Kinzhal, this improves the Patriot missile intercept algorithm. This, in turn, increases the accuracy for all Patriot systems.
In the last 5 days, Ukraine has used the Patriots with the effectiveness nobody remotely knew these systems could achieve. The Patriots today are what nobody knew they could be. This is a gigantic step towards improving America’s military defense.
America became a lot safer and stronger yesterday.
OK, I’ve said my piece. Now let’s continue discussing the career prospects of a rich, bald lady.

Agreed. The US is getting a whole lot back from Ukraine; billions in fact. Real combat testing of military systems is incredibly valuable.
This is also why I don’t buy this whole US has provided Ukraine so much like it was a gift. It’s not a gift!

Of course, there’s no gifting in geopolitics. Everybody pursues their self-interest, and that’s fine.

I’m hoping this whole Claudine Gay fiasco is well beyond just one person. The UPenn president was forced to resign as well, and my hope is that we’re starting to see strong push back against these academic ideologues that have taken over academia.

Claudine Gay wasn’t pushed out because of her ideology. She left because she plagiarized. It’s great, we all hate plagiarism. But her resignation was sought for expressly non-ideological reasons. Because we still don’t dare to criticize her ideology.
This is no victory. It’s evidence of our complete impotence. Gay said its OK to harass Jews and built a career on anti-white racism. And all we could get her on was plagiarism.
Maybe one day we’ll get Putin for jaywalking.

in SA, the anti-white position is the overwhelmingly popular democratically elected position, which pretty much leaves non ideological reasons as the only way to remove incompetents
