“The big military contractors want to add new countries to NATO all the time because then that country has to conform its military purchases and NATO weapons specifications, which means certain companies, Northridge, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon, General Dynamics, Boeing, and Lockheed get a trapped market.”
The 48-year-old Tymoshenko is considered one of the front-runners for the January election, alongside former Prime Minister Viktor Yanukovych.
Wearing a traditional Ukrainian dress and sporting her trademark peasant hair braid, she pledged to "build Europe in Ukraine," fight rampant corruption, and improve the judicial system. She also called for warmer relations with Ukraine's old Soviet master, Russia.
Ukraine—Yulia Tymoshenko is nothing if not a crowd-pleaser. Running to be Ukraine’s next president, she has promised to triple pension payouts and halve heating-fuel charges; pushed to impeach the incumbent president, Petro Poroshenko, weeks before the presidential election; and said that immediately after being elected, she will close the country’s airports to stop corrupt officials from fleeing.
In many ways, these policies signify the anti-establishment mood here ahead of the first round of presidential elections this weekend, which will narrow the field to two candidates before a final vote next month. Just 9 percent of Ukrainians have confidence in their government. A full 39 candidates will appear on the first-round ballot. Tymoshenko, a former prime minister, was once the front-runner, but her populist credentials have been eclipsed by those of Volodymyr Zelensky, an actor with no political experience who plays Ukraine’s president in a hit television program.

I have not had a chance to do that yet, but I will in the next couple of days. It has gotten some interesting reviews. A couple of my sons friends have watched it, and said they quickly got drawn into it, and could not turn it off.Seems like it would be something you should watch. You know a "keep your enemies even closer" kind of thing. Peace

No. I saw some highlights and it seems to consist mostly of Putin ranting about various things so I decided not to watch it all.

You are not going to succeed in your attempt to divert this thread into talking about goldfish..
Elon Musk has said that ‘there is no way’ Russia can be defeated in Ukraine, Bloomberg reported.
According to the news agency, at an online conference on the platform X Spaces, US Senator from Wisconsin Ron Johnson said that those who expect a Ukraine victory were "living in a fantasy world."

This comes as the Zelensky government has for several weeks now been teasing the likelihood of a major mobilization, as the military is in dire need of hundreds of thousands of more able-bodied troops.
