A-10 Warthog planes might be in Ukraine's future

The subject came up at a conference from Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall and Air Force Gen. Charles Q. Brown.

Deborah Haynes @haynesdeborah
The US would be open to discuss giving its A-10 “Warthog” ground attack aircraft to Ukraine, the US Secretary of the @usairforce has indicated. Frank Kendall listed the ageing warplanes as among those the Air Force will be ditching to focus more $$ on modern programmes.

The A-10 was designed to kill Russians, but never got used for what it was designed. Ukraine has Russians a plenty to kill. Why not test if the A-10 can do what it was designed to do and finally get some value out of those planes which were built only because the Senators for Maryland wanted the A-10s built by Fairchild in Hagerstown, Maryland?

In its most recent budget request for the 2023 Fiscal Year, the Air Force asked for authority to retire 21 Warthogs during that period. . . . "A parenthetical thought. Why don't we give those A-10s to Ukraine?"

Sherman Fairchild, who owned the builder of the A-10, inherited his father's IBM stock in 1924, becoming IBM's largest individual stockholder until his death in 1971. History doesn't say it, but I bet Fairchild talked some excruciatingly stupid, yet highly articulate, Congressmen into buying the A-10. It's about time the A-10 got used for something other than making a rich man richer, but rather for what it was designed, e.g. killing Russians.

Russia conducted illegal ‘double tap’ strikes

In such attacks, Russia shell or launch an airstrike targeting a spot where paramedics and civilians are gathered to help the victims of an initial strike.

Russia has deployed this tactic, honed in Syria, in its war in Ukraine, according to reports from international investigators and journalists on the ground. In a March attack in Kharkiv, a Russian missile allegedly hit a regional administration building. A second strike occurred a few minutes later, after rescuers had arrived, according to an April report by the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe.

Five civilians were killed in another double-tap strike in Kharkiv the following month, as a Red Cross team tried to administer first aid, the Australian Broadcast Corporation reported.

“Syria was kind of the testing ground for this approach,” Nessma Bashi said. “What Ukraine has shown is that double taps are being conducted on a regular basis.”

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has breathed new life into the field of international law and efforts to investigate and prosecute war crimes.

In April, Russia tapped Gen. Alexander Dvornikov, a veteran of Moscow’s military operations in Syria, to oversee its operations in Ukraine.

“I would hope this would pull more attention to the importance of accountability efforts across the board,” Bashi said. “Certainly we know there are specific members of the Russian military who were involved in Syria and are now key players in Ukraine. If it is the case that those people are held accountable for crimes they commit in Ukraine, we will consider that a win for Syrians.”

Oh, you mean "objective" investigators like OSCE, OPCW, HRW, Bellingcat, and "White Helmets"?

You mean, like them?

I feel sorry for Ukrainians caught up in this madness.

Warhawks, fascists, and oligarchs?

Not so much.

I don't feel any more sorry for Ukrainians than I do Somalians, or any other country our military war machine has exploited without ever putting it to a vote.

Neither does Second or Ted or Cap'n, no matter how much they pretend to give a shit about this one because their Legacy Media Masters tell them to.

Oh, I agree. But SECOND, THUGR, and CAPON promote that "Ukrainians" (if they follow our anti-Russian narrative) are a Special Class of people. The rest are just ordinary schmucks not worth caring about.

They're so stupid they can't even get their empty virtue signaling right.
