1ºIsnt Iran one of the first countries we "helped" after Vietnam--getting rid of their benevolent Shah and putting the present dictator/ruler into his position of power --It appears helping improve citizens lives and rights in foreign lands is an abysmal failure where the U S kills innocent civilians, creates havoc and dictators, rather than improve the lives of any citizen of any nation we have interfered with since Vietnam--Anybody disagree please post an example where the U S has improved the nations rulers and lives of the average citizen in any of the abysmal failures whose only purpose seems to have been making millionaires out of friends of U S politicians
2ºVictory Day begins in Russia as Moscow launches 15 missiles on Kyiv
Russia launched about 15 cruise missiles at Ukraine’s capital on Tuesday, the second attack in as many days, with air defence systems shooting all of them down, officials said, after air raid alerts blared over most of the country.
“As at the front, the plans of the aggressor failed,” Serhiy Popko, head of the Kyiv’s city military administration, said in comments posted on the Telegram messaging app.
Tuesday’s attacks came a day after Russia launched its biggest drone swarm yet in a renewed air campaign unleashed 10 days ago after a lull since early March, Reuters reports.
It also came on Russia’s Victory Day, one its most commemorated public holidays, marking the anniversary of the defeat of Nazi Germany in 1945.
“[They] try to kill as many civilians as possible – on this day,” Popko said.

US to announce $1.2 billion military aid package for Ukraine today - AP
On Tuesday, May 9, 2023, the United States of America will announce a massive new military support package for Ukraine. We are talking about aid totaling $1.2 billion.
According to the Associated Press, it will be funded by the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative.
It is noted that unlike American equipment, weapons and ammunition, which are more often sent to Ukraine from the Pentagon warehouses so that they can be delivered quickly, the funds from this fund should be spent over the coming months or even years to meet Ukraine's future security needs. .
AP sources said the new weapons package will include Hawk air defense systems, anti-aircraft munitions and air defense drones. In addition, the United States will provide Ukraine with artillery, missiles, satellite imagery, and will fund ongoing maintenance and spare parts for various weapons.
With the new aid package, U.S. military aid to Ukraine since the start of the Russian full-scale invasion will reach nearly $37 billion.
