Among Poland’s weapons purchases, nothing is more likely to prevent Russia from invading NATO Europe than the M1 tank – arguably the West’s apex ground combat predator.
The recent sinking of a Russian navy ship was a solid victory for Ukrainian forces. But it’s a lot more about Russian failures rather than the success of uncrewed drones. The U.S. Navy can learn lessons.

Sen. Paul uses half-truths that may be appealing to some Americans. They should know the whole truth and understand the stark consequences if we fail to maintain our resolve.
Given the unpopularity of the Ukraine War, and the attempted revolt/protest of Wagner group Russian mercenaries, could the Black Sea Fleet by ripe for another grand and embarrassing naval mutiny?
