Ukraine is rejecting US drones as slow and unreliable - other drones from NATO counties are useless and obsolete.

Ukraine has been doing this on a daily basis for almost two years now.  Not exactly 'Star Wars'.  Just another Day in the UKRAINE.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
