I’m not the one who made the claim. Do you have proof that any of it was foreign aid?

Is any of that foreign aid or are the Russians purchasing equipment and manpower?

Any member, including and especially the US, can block prospective members from entering NATO. Also you can’t join the alliance while you’re in the middle of a conflict.

I don’t know how they can claim Ukraine is winning when they’re being supported heavily by foreign aid.

They sure LOVED having the US as an ally when they were getting their asses handed to them during WW1 and WW2.

I don’t side with people who deal in absolutes. You’re disingenuous.

I did read up on the Budapest Memorandum and what you stated is FALSE. That document states that Ukraine (along with Belarus and Kazakhstan) are now parties to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons. The US, UK, and Russia have agreed to:

• Respect the signatory’s independence and sovereignty in the existing borders
• Refrain from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of the signatories to the memorandum, and undertake that none of their weapons will ever be used against these countries, except in cases of self-defense
• Refrain from economic coercion designed to subordinate to their own interest the exercise by Ukraine, the Republic of Belarus and Kazakhstan of the rights inherent in its sovereignty
• Seek immediate Security Council action to provide assistance to the signatory if they “should become a victim of an act of aggression or an object of a threat of aggression in which nuclear weapons are used”
• Not to use nuclear weapons against any non–nuclear-weapon state party to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, except in the case of an attack on themselves
• Consult with one another if questions arise regarding those commitments

There is nowhere in this Memorandum that states that the US is obligated to render aid or defend the Ukraine. So when you stated:

The US already ignored it a couple of times actually.

Explain. How did the US ignore the Memorandum (that is not a treaty)? What incidents were they and when did they occur?

How can the US be considered a traitorous country when we have no formal treaty with Ukraine. Ukraine isn’t part of NATO and we have no defense pact with them. Aide is assistance and it can be withdrawn at any point for any reason. But let me ask you a question. Would you call the US a traitorous country if we withdrew support for Israel? Is it only traitorous if the US stop supporting the wars you want?

I see what you’re trying to say and I agree but this isn’t the right echo chamber to be talking like that.

You could use KeePassXC. Just sync it on your cloud platform whether that be Google cloud or Nextcloud.

Dey took our jorbs!!

The “paper” that OP is referring to is the one they posted a few levels up. It links to a researchgate paper that I believe is associated with the article. Just from a quick look at the paper, which is only 3 pages, they are talking about the design the aircraft uses to mitigate the negative effects that occur at hypersonic speeds. They refer to the Waverider design and modified it by including a High-Pressure Capturing Wing to improve lift. Waveriders are designed to conform to the shockwaves the vehicle produces at hypersonic speeds to reduce the drag from those shockwaves. When designing high speed aircraft you have to design around the shockwaves it will produce. This enhancement seems to improve the lift the vehicle creates at those speeds.

Also you aren’t getting everything right in your arguments. Earlier you stated that scramjets are fighting Newton’s 3rd law which states, “For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction”. You do understand that all air-breathing engines slows the air down before it gets to the engine. This is usually done during a compression cycle to increase the pressure and density of the air. Turbojet and Turbofan engines do this using compression fans, Ramjets uses a normal shockwave, and scramjets uses a series of oblique shockwaves called a “shock train”. The difference between a scramjet and the other engines is the airflow is subsonic in Turbojet, Turbofan, Ramjet, etc while the air enters the engine at supersonic speeds for scramjets. That’s why its called a SCRamjet, Supersonic Combustion Ramjet. But like OP said the paper doesn’t mention what type of engine was used, only that it was a hypersonic vehicle so it could be a rocket.

How do I understand this? I actually have a degree in aerospace engineering, I’ve worked on scramjets (X-51) for the USAF, and I designed engines for GE Aviation. Your arguments are all wrong.

The X-15 was a rocket propelled aircraft. This is an air breathing aircraft.

Why do all that? Too many steps. Lets just skip straight to the end goal and terraform the whole Solar System populating the planets and moons with genetically modified cats that upload videos of themselves on whatever social media they create.

So we’re gonna sacrifice a bunch of squid to manage our mistake because you know we aren’t giving up plastic anytime soon.

Well looks like we’ll be getting more Chinese OF girls. Gonna be fun when the Western girls have to compete against the Eastern girls. Grab your popcorn!

Yeah they battle gators.

This is expected from Microsoft. It’s their tick tock pattern of good windows based windows. 95 good, ME bad, XP good, Vista bad, 7 good, 8 bad, 10 good, 11bad.

Absolutely right. Their echo chamber is their safe space so don’t threaten it!
