War in Ukraine

[NorthDallas40]

Georgia was a case where NATO pumped up Saakashvili like they are doing Zelensky right now. Crimea has been Russian since Catherine the Great and before the USA was a country.

That’s pretty damn funny since Russia signed a document in 1994 stating it recognized Crimea as Ukrainian and would respect those territorial boundaries, Moe.

Color me wholly unsurprised that you are (willfully) ignorant of history.

you mean Catherine the Prussian. who deposed the lawful RUSSIAN tsar in a bloody coup, and oh yeah he was her husband.
And they also gave up Crimea while we were a country, but somehow you always overlook that. they haven't owned Crimea in 75 years, especially if you want to argue that Russia is not the USSR, then it has been over 100 years. But I am guessing this is one of those times you will say Russia was the USSR.

if you have better, post them.

but remember a Russian general has already come out and admitted more VDV losses than you think Russia has lost total.

Hey @Rasputin_Vol get your popped cabbage (or whatever popcorn equivalent you eat in Russia) ready.

Damn, that ain't no half court shot; that's a full court heave, nothing but net shot.

Good article on how Ukraine is apparently advancing in Robotyne. Using Leopards as snipers and Swedish made MANPADS to take out the KA-52s from up to 9 km away.

$25M Russian counter-battery system nailed by 2 Excalibur hits. Lack of jamming systems to prevent this bodes well for UAF, as does Russian chatter about lack of counter-battery in the South.

Lead or radiation poisoning

thats what I am thinking. I was thinking it was multiple, acute, rapid, at a couple hundred feet per second, onset lead poisoning that did him in.

CBS is reporting that the AFU is making progress towards Tokmak which would be the first major victory of the counteroffensive.

Ukrainians break through minefield towards Tokmak

Background: The day before, The Washington Post stated that US intelligence believes that the Ukrainian counter-offensive will not achieve its key goals, namely the liberation of Melitopol, because even regaining control of Tokmak is a difficult task given the three Russian defence lines.

Ukrainians break through minefield towards Tokmak

There's an interesting CNN article saying we've okayed giving them F-16s after a 6-month training program that still hasn't started. It also says that "no NATO army would even attempt" what they're doing with their current limitations.

Ukrainians break through minefield towards Tokmak

Our "experts" have really sucked on their calls since the very beginning of this war:

• The US military believes the real number is 3 days. In closed door briefings in the House and Senate last week, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Gen. Mark Milley told lawmakers Kiev could fall within 72 hours, at a cost of 4,000 Russian troop deaths and 15,000 Ukrainian troop deaths, multiple congressional sources say.

Now, once again, the Ukrainians are hopefully proving our generals wrong.
