It's nice that even when I'm out running errands, I can still keep tabs on where the Ukrainian president is, thanks to Marco Rubio

In an unidentified room with a white wall?  Possibly in Kyiv which geographically is about 1.3x the size of Chicago ?  That should help the ruskies!

Israeli PM flew to Russia to meet with Putin today in hopes to try to bring an end to the war. US withholding intelligence from Ukraine, for fear of being seen by Russia as a direct participant in the war. Elon Musk has sent Ukraine truckloads of Starlink terminals so Ukrainians can have access to Starlink's satellite internet network, governments tried to pressure Musk to block all Russian media on Starlink network, he refused citing free speech/free press concerns.

Ukraine apparently just executes one of it's diplomats involved in the negotiations with Russia. Yeah, so, that's not good. But this is the same country which is ranked by corruption indexes as the most corrupt country in Europe (and top 10 in the world), has passed laws to ban the Russian language (even though close to a quarter of the countries population was ethnic Russian and well over half the country speaks Russian), made the birthday of a Nazi collaborator who was responsible for the deaths of thousands of Jews and Poles in Ukraine- a national holiday, has banned opposition media it does not like, has arrested opposition politicians without real charge or trial, has incorporated a literal neo-nazi militia (Azov) into it's armed forces as an official wing of the national guard, and has been responsible for 84% of civilian deaths in the Donbas conflict from 2018-2021 (according to UN).

It's like failing a drug test at the NFL combine.  Its an intelligence test.  I don't care that you smoked weed.  I care that you can't follow a simple instruction when you are told there are stakes.

F-22s are not very capable as bombers obviously.  I think they can carry some ordnance.

If it's on wing pylons they are not stealthy.

Sure, that scenario is ridiculous of course.  I suppose it was made in jest?

You honestly believe it was in jest?

Why do people laud Trump's lack of a filter overall, but then pretend like he's being silly or coy when his most retarded ideas come out? 

Yes, Mr. "Warp Speed" and "Space Force" wanted someone on a rickety old ladder hand-painting the Chinese flag on F-22s.  Of course he did.  Because it's him.

I said I suppose it was made in jest, followed by a question mark.  I didn't hear any context.  So I don't know.  And the "Space Force" is still a thing, of some sort.  I don't understand it either.

The suggestion is so over the top  that it could well have been a throw out to get a laugh or something, I don't know.
