War in Ukraine

[NorthDallas40]

Even without armor, air and missile attacks should easily dislodge the defenders if there was an advantage.

Don’t disagree. Was just using the armor example to point to the big bad bear boogeyman we all thought existed. Whoopsie!

We live in the age of small inexpensive UAV’s being able to provide pinpoint coordinates to precision strike MLRS and artillery munitions. Russia was vaunted to be well stocked in these munitions. So they’re either choosing to be in this WWI trench fight. Or they can’t do a damn thing about it. I don’t know why they would chose to stay in this situation. War weariness impacts Russian citizens also especially as the economic sanctions bite harder over time. Ukraine doesn’t have an option, fight or capitulate and live under the Russian boot again. So that leaves Russia choosing to continue this stupidity likely because they’re powerless to do anything else. Morons.

I thought these massive Ukrainian defense expenditures allowed and payed for our munition replenishments already..Hmmm.

Spurred By Ukraine, Massive Munitions Restocking Plan In Proposed Pentagon Budget

That’s actually what they were for. Contracts are already being placed and they have to have funds on hand to issue those contracts. Haven’t read the article yet but this screams of never let a crisis go to waste.

Some of those munitions are crazy..They planning on something big. 3K AMRAAMS and such and even Harpoons.

Yeah I read the article. It’s never let a crisis go to waste. Many items on that list haven’t even been used in Ukraine. And I thought ATACMS had been out of production for about a decade while the DoD continued to play pocket pool on a follow on/replacement missile design.

This is hilarious. The Russian apologists acting like this is why an invasion was absolutely necessary

 

[newokie03]

I have came in here being neutral…calling it the way I see it on both sides..







Look around…you’re the only one triggered.

Dude, you have never been anywhere close to neutral in anything pertaining to Russia/USSR. I've watched from a distance for a long time and you can GTFO with that line of BS.

Daily Beast article claims Putin has a backup plan to flee Russia for South America if things go badly for him.

We should name the raccoon "Nookie" so Vlad can have a theme song for his "special military operation."

Yeah except that Lenin had to create the strife that made himself rich and powerful, and to give himself a police state. No Russian invasion no uber rich or powerful Zelensky.

Ukraine is at war. That means different laws and standards of affair. Just like the Russians arresting war protestors, or people who tell the truth about the war, or conscripting people, or limiting their travel.

Hey @Rasputin_Vol, you in the market for some authentic Russian Christmas tree ornaments?

The whole clip was laughable. But since Carlson said “and this isn’t an exaggeration” that makes it ok and suddenly factual. I have to say I do enjoy the screeching about the Ukrainian relationship with the Russian Orthodox Church while always forgetting about little nuggets like this.

Orthodox Church leader says Russian soldiers dying in Ukraine will be cleansed of sin

Russia, Ukraine, and the Orthodox church: Where religion meets geopolitics and war

After supporting Ukraine invasion, Russia's Patriarch Kirill criticized worldwide

Patriarch of Moscow: He puts the Kremlin before the death of the Archbishop of Cyprus

The ole' Dictator escapes to Venezuela trick ...

Luckily, I believe they already accept his crypto.

I dont get those dragon teeth, the anti tank barriers. They all look like they are just set on the ground, floating on top. Also, where I come from concrete is heavy AF and even with the ground being frozen i would expect those to look more like they are sunk into the ground rather than floating on top with a clear shadow line all the way around.

I wonder if they are anchored down some way beyond gravity. Granted you cant just drive over these, but they would be relatively easy to move as individual free floating barriers. Make them a foot taller and bury that one foot in the ground and it's much more effective. Imo.

I didnt watch the clip, just the quote was enough to be Forest Whitaker inducing.

Maybe it's like locking your door. It doesn't prevent burglary's but a locked door may make it inconvenient enough to move on. I'm sure they'd love to funnel them into a kill zone and the Russians are too stupid to realize it.

Argentina… Argentina… there was another maniacal leader that was planning an escape to Argentina in the 1940’s before he wound up in a dirt nap instead.

While I loves me some turret tossing tank explosion videos, these supply truck hits are much more important
