Literally none of what you just said is evidenced in that video clip. Except for maybe the gesturing. I'm not sure what it is about that clip that is old coded.
Could you provide other examples?
Per unit cost for the tank plus spare parts plus tooling, spare parts, and facilities (the logistics package).
Once the baseline log pac is assembled, cost for follow-on units are ~$27 mil/ea for Leo2 and ~$14 mil/ea for M1.
European gear is not particularly cheaper than American gear. There are some differences that are necessitated by the fact that there's a large ocean between the factory and the point of use, but at $44 mil, a Leopard 2A8 tank isn't cheap.
An M1A2 SEPv3 tank costs ~$40 mil.
Prices are "all in"--
@morningjoe-msnow.bsky.social regarding your segment on Social Circle Georgia and the ICE detention Center there, there's probably another story angle in ICE buying the facility for two or three times what it's actually worth. They did the same thing in Salt Lake City.
Waste, fraud, and abuse.
In this particular instance, the Ukrainians have identified a tactical need that drones can service in the attack. It's something that artillery either cannot service, or just as likely, the shortage of precision munitions causes.
ICYMI — new HUNGARY 🇭🇺 PM Magyar says Netanyahu will be arrested if he goes to Hungary
Drones have not supplanted infantry or armor, and have only partially supplanted artillery, acting essentially as precise small-effect fires.
A new take on combined arms by the ukrainians. Infantry assaults, identifies positions for drones to attack, and then once an opening is made for tanks they go through the line to exploit the breach and attack the enemy rear.

And all of their Canadian and Mexican locals, too.
"...I’m gonna test the law.'..."
Multiple outlets have reported and verified this story, originally broken by the Rupert Murdoch-owned Trump-loving Wall Street Journal.
Again, I guarantee you he'll award himself the MOH. HJe has no sense of honor or shame or integrity. Only envy and pride.
"...he wanted a medal for his trip to Iraq in 2018, during his previous term in office.
'I flew to Iraq. I was extremely brave. So brave I wanted to give myself the Congressional Medal of Honor,' he said, adding that he asked his 'people' if he was allowed to do so. 'Someday I’m gonna try..."
"President Donald Trump has never served in the U.S. armed forces, but reportedly wants to give himself the nation’s highest military honor anyway...
The Wall Street Journal reported over the weekend that Trump has 'mused' about awarding himself the Medal of Honor...
In February, he said..."

Red Rock Canyon AND Valley of Fire -- that's a lot of miles on the car that day.
The tariffs were never anything more than a way to illegitimately transfer more wealth from the hands of regular people into corporate coffers and eventually into the pockets of CEOs and executive board members.
Nobody thinks for a moment that they're going to extend the refunds to the customers?
I took a mental health day today. It's just not good for me to be around people today. So I'm staying home and watching episodes of The Mandalorean. And here's Freddie, just deciding that the best thing for me is to pet him and let him sleep on me.
The thing about our binary system is that the choice to not vote is almost as effective support for the opposing party as the choice to vote for them would be.
Now, I can let that go as a rhetorical device (and I have in the past,) but it doesn't change their culpability.
In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.
His one of the bigger Uruk-Hai, but that's about it.
Sanders was never my first choice, but if he'd gotten the nomination, I'd have donated to him and voted for him in the general with a smile on my face and a song in my heart.
"FIRST" not "famous".
Between my bear paws and autocorrect, it's a wonder I'm able to communicate at all.
I haven't the famous damn clue at this point which Democrat I will support in the primaries. But I will support that Democrat right up until the nominating convention. And the moment the candidate is announced, whether it's mine or not, I'll support and fight like hell for that person.
Anyone who disagrees with this position, in the year of our lord 2026, Is an op. Whether they realize it or not.
The only thing I didn't like was the caricature of the 'Asian Shopkeeper'.
“General Lee…I have no tax subsidies now”
That's cool.
I just learned something. Thanks!
But also, his point is still bullshit.
I'm not sure what you're trying to do here, Jake, but it doesn't look like anybody is buying into whatever it is.
This is not a difficult situation. I'm an extremely lapsed Catholic at best and I have no problem at all choosing the Pope above Trump. One of them is a good and holy man, and the other is a grifting narcissistic vengeful selfish lying rapist. If this is a tough choice for you, look inward.
