    Nice ideal, except there has been little if any resistance behind the lines. What little there was either got shot to pieces or hunted down by the Russian National Guard Troops doing Rear Area Security. And given the Zelensky Government has been hugely unpopular and 5 million Ukrainians fled to...

    From the angle we can't see what he was doing. For all we know, he disregarded instructions to stop, Russian soldiers didn't know what was in the bike basket, and his failure to follow instructions gave them a legal right to conclude he was making an attack and put him down. Thus not a war...

    Retired Operations Officer Tyler Weaver aka Armchair Warlord lays out the reality that Jennifer Cafarella is unable to grasp with her cope maps. A better map I found that gives more accurate lines from better sources than Cope Maps from OSINT. Bridge Networks go boom if and when Russia...

    Armchair Warlord explains how new drones will not save Ukraine. Quoting the rest as its a big topic. Summary, stick to spotter drones, more bang per buck, and less chance you'll be backtracked and pasted. I'm going to see if he won't join our friendly neighborhood. The fights between...

    He won his war, he did exactly what G.H.W. Bush told him to do and liberated Kuwait. Zachowon failed to win his war. The war is practically over. Ukraine's military and industry is broken. The only choice they have is an honorable peace, ceding Kherson Oblast, most of Zapohrizia Oblast...

    By what standard? In fact, your standard is irrelevant. The Russians have their own doctrine and strategy which they have openly stated and have a long military history paved in bloody victory. If you don't believe them, they care not. They win their wars and victory ends all arguments. At the...

    A retired US Army Artilleryman explains the reality of a Russian BTG and how it works. He is posting regular threads now, getting years of frustrations with S2s, failed generals, and utter US Military Incompetence being swept under the rug, off his chest. He very much despises the @Zachowon...

    Comrades steal another Taliban Nasheed. A Comrade shows off an interesting find. More advances. Pictures from areas taken south of Izium. All part of selling the feint. This drive was never given enough resources to succeed and last as long as it did due to the Odessa Feint tying down...

    You think they care one iota about what Kyiv says? They don't, they will simply have a "referendum," set up a new security force of collaborators and flip off the rest of the world which will forget about it in time. Not in the north though, the Russians didn't set up collaborators to run...

    If Russia had actually wanted Kyiv, it would have had set up collaborators and weighed all its offensive power to it. They did not, the units there were not reinforced, they made no actual attempts to close pockets, or even get the few who collaborated out, leaving them at the mercy of Azov...

    US actively targeted civilians in the GWOT and it sanctions and direct military actions have killed millions. Sorry but neither side we have as choices are good, in fact they are all shit. US doesn't get to claim the high ground anymore than Russia does.

    3.5 years to kick it up if everything goes right. It takes five years to get a new gas line or oil rig running and producing due to planning, building the physical plants, and arranging the shipping. Yeah lets ignore the low level civil war the EU nd US have been in since 2020 with Covid...

    I got family who actually works for that company. They were very much saying, we're fucked. 3.5 years is if everything goes right and no wrenches are thrown into the process. Its still worth it, but should have been done years ago. A nation that can't feed itself is not sovereign.
