Yeeeeaaah that shit sounds like a whole lot of projection.
sprawling US Army Garrison Humphreys
First: screw this style of journalist writing. Second: who tf hears "sprawling foreign army garrison" and thinks "Oh yes it's great and totally not weird"?
The US will be deploying missile systems with mid-range capability to the Indo-Pacific region soon,
Toldja, projection.
The North Korean missiles sent so far are similar in size and flight dynamics to Russia’s Iskander series, weapons experts have said
Could it be that gasp those WERE iskander missiles?! Nah, can't be. Must be perfidious Axis of Evil somehow making their weapon systems more interchangeable and easier to mix than the vaunted NATO "standardisation".
showed that the US Patriot air defense system has so far been largely effective in countering Russia’s missiles
"The enemy is both weak and strong", etc. If your "patriot" system is soo good and effective, why are you afraid? Surely they'd just shoot down whatever inferior garage junk them orcs cobbled together from pipes and houseware chips?
sending massive amounts of munitions to Russia, which are interoperable with the Soviet-era systems being used in Ukraine.
See my earlier point. There hasn't been a soviet union for over thirty years. Iskander system was developed after USSR was destroyed. The fuck kinda "interoperability" you are babbling about? Heck, if they said it was magically interoperable with the Tochka-U system, I still would call bs, but would at least have an area of plausibility. Heck, they could have even done some further smearing and claim that was the missile used to strike the market in Donetsk - since that one was a Tochka-U, and was blamed on Russia (despite, ya know, all the evidence).
Garbage article. You should feel bad for hurting my eyes with it, Yogthos
