to quote Henry: “America has no permanent friends or enemies, only interests.” “The illegal we do immediately. The unconstitutional takes a little longer.” As quoted in The Washington Post (23 December 1973); he later joked further on this remark, on 10 March 1975 saying to Turkish Foreign Minister Melih Esenbel in Ankara, Turkey: Before the Freedom of Information Act, I used to say at meetings "The illegal we do immediately. The unconstitutional takes a little longer." … But since the Freedom of Information Act, I'm afraid to say things like that.

Tenchu's Thoughts: Either Fight to Win, or Don't Fight At All - RuZZia's Glide Bombs There have been increasing reports of RuZZia's use of glide bombs, including this click-baity article from the Telegraph: Crude, cheap and deadly: Russian glide bombs are pounding Ukraine into surrender (The Telegraph) It's kind of weird, given that RuZZia has been using them for over a year now ... What Are Glide Bombs? Russian Weapons in Ukraine Called 'Big Threat' (Newsweek, April 2023) Moreover, it hasn't really translated into accelerated gains on the part of RuZZia, given that RuZZia is now attacking on multiple vectors with the same sort of intensity that they used toward Bakhmut and Avdiivka. (Think Avdiivka TIMES SEVEN.) But these glide bombs are keeping RuZZia's momentum alive. They keep Ukraine's defenders on the back foot. (Funny how that works. PooTin and his fellow cucks brag about HYPErsonic missiles and n00clear torpedoes and caterpillar drives and other "sexy" RuZZian superweapons, but it turns out RuZZia's most deadly weapon happens to be a huge quantity of dumb bombs retrofitted with fins and rudimentary guidance systems. Again, the quantity IS the quality.) By the way, RuZZia's glide bombs won't stop dropping until two things happen: 1) More Patriot missile batteries are relocated to the front line. 2) F-16 fighter jets finally enter the battlefield and start to intercept RuZZian bombers with long-range air-to-air missiles. #1 is a problem because Ukraine simply doesn't have enough Patriots. Plus putting Patriot missile batteries nearer to the front lines opens them up to RuZZian attacks, which means Ukraine needs a lot of them for spares. Of course, Ukraine barely has enough to even cover Kyiv and major hubs of infrastructure. #2 is particularly frustrating to me given that just a year ago, the Brandon administration was resisting calls to provide Ukraine with F-16s. Only later last year did Brandon finally cave, but it's taking a VERY long time to get the first F-16s up in the air. Of course, both #1 and #2 are affected heavily by the PooTin cucks within the Republican Party, who are successfully obstructing additional aid to Ukraine. When are we going to learn? *Either fight to win, or don't fight at all.* Brandon half-assing the aid to Ukraine helped to prolong the war. He never anticipated that the Republicans would ever have any power to obstruct his agenda, which is why Brandon didn't pursue the war in Ukraine with any sense of urgency whatsoever. Even now, the Brandon administration is telling Ukraine to stop hitting RuZZian oil facilities, fearing a rise in oil prices: Biden Tells Ukraine Not to Hit Russia - WSJ Holy s#!t, is Brandon serious? Does he really care about Ukraine's victory, or does he care more about his own chances for re-election? All of this is helping to diminish America's soft power across the world. All of this is playing right into the hands of PooTin, his fellow cucks, and ultimately Donald Trump and his uber-ego. Tenchusatsu
