If the USA lights up as a response to ruling as a fascist, not just running as one, it's unfortunate that they are so naive about how it will be fought. They will need many times more than the civil servants targed by project 2025 just to provide protection against AI drones flying at political and oligarchy targets every which way. No pilot more than shrugged his shoulders when 9/11 happened as all pilots understand planes are missiles and the only surprise was it took so long.
I started building model airplanes around 9-10 yo. Didn't have plans but I did have a set Colliers Encyc. They had pics of airplanes, most with a head-on and side view. So I would take my compass and scale the pics to 3-5 times the size and use that as my plan. All Balsa and fabric with dope to seal the fabric.
Funny, we had Colliers too. I was similar, always tinkering with some model. Burning fingers with hot wires shaping polystyrene. Kids these days don't get how good they have it with lithium ion and motors. I managed to get an old miniature RC gasoline engine and made one of the ones on two strings that would fly around you, I never got dizzy I think the cats thought there was something severely wrong with that monkey.
France and Britain are considering sending troops to Ukraine: https://www.lemonde.fr/en/internati...sh-troops-to-ukraine-reignited_6734041_4.html (Not quoting inline as I can't read the full article either, but a couple of paragraphs are open.)
It's another dangerous escalation and probably indicative of an imminent collapse of the Ukrainian army.
We might send Gripen after all: https://suspilne-media.translate.go..._sl=uk&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=wapp
Sooner they do it, sooner they all will be killed, sooner the war will be over Putin hesitates to strike Europe but european armies in Ukraine will be annihilated in days they likely will be killed the moment they cross the border, imagine thousands of dead british and french in a day not even reaching front lines
