Trump Support Our Troops Uses Russian Migs And An AK47

I don't see why our Air Force wouldn't use Russian Mig fighter jets.

We would need to get replacement parts from Russia.

But the main reason is it has a very different philosophy towards safety. On one level it is more rugged, but on another level it is more likely to crash in regular use. The Russian air forces have huge peacetime losses.
 
Trump has apparently either burned through, wasted or squandered most of the billion dollars they raised since the beginning of the year and there's a possibility that their best and brightest campaign operatives might have even funneled away large chunks of that cash for themselves as well.

So if this is true, Trump apparently can't afford to hire competent campaign operatives who would know the difference between Russian and US military gear or aircraft, or any military experts who could review material in advance.
Of course, given that he's been acting rather despicable toward the military lately, many of the more educated may not be in much of a mood to help anyway.

So, broke, dispirited and incompetent, yes?
That's actually been the last four years for everyone else, it's just now being spread to his own campaign, because Trump doesn't get the concept of "not pooping where you eat".
If you don't treat anyone else well or protect anyone else, the one group you must protect and treat well are the people you count on to help you remain in office.

Did Mr. Sprey bother to mention that there's no angle from which a Mig-29 looks like it is drawn in those pictures?
 
Biden isn’t stunningly treasonous enough to pull off a Helsinki, since you brought him up.

But his former boss was. "I'll have more flexibility…"

I have zero idea what the rules are for campaign ads, so here's a theory:

Maybe he wasn't allowed to have American military planes in his ads. Maybe showing military equipment/military members are not allowed. Just kinda blue-skying it.

Did you spend any time at all trying to determine whether this idea was true or did you just decide to go with it because that makes you feel better about a dumb ad from your team?
 
I mean it’s an ad being sent out by Trump’s campaign team so it’s not like you don’t have ****ing proof.

Calm your fauxrage, if you can manage to.

None of those things are in dispute.

As I posted, this seems to rank right up there with Obama's brown suit crap.
