Oh this is going to send the pro-Russian and anti-Zelenski posters through the roof.
Damn that guy has balls.

Incredible. Zelensky visited frontline Ukrainian positions near Lysychansk, west of Severodonetsk. That area of Luhansk region—the last under Kyiv control—has seen heavy fighting around the clock in recent weeks. He was briefed on the situation and handed out awards to soldiers.
Damn that guy has balls.

From my express, the French are all clever and creative whores in some form or fashion. They will find a way to do busy with Russia until the first Russian check bounces.Then France will be back on the NATO unity train.

Let me see, the terrain is flat and open on the north side of the city. UKR has artillery sitting on hill tops across the river 500 feet higher than the city. Without need of drones or any other aerial recon, they can pound retreating forces or even reinforcments like there is no tommorrow.
UKR doesn't need the city, Russia desperately needs it.
If you read his post, he actually says Ukraine should just surrender both cities. His reasoning being that they are Go to be encircled and they already can't retreat without getting shelled. So live to fight another day. So the high ground should just be given up without a fight.
What he doesn't mention is that the encirclement is also stalling and has progressed very slowly since the first breakthrough so that argument is basically void at present.

When will this shite be over so I can see Lomachenko in the ring again?

#Kharkiv Axis - #Ukraine made several moves in Kharkiv Oblast today. 21mi/34km to the NE of Kharkiv city #Ukrainian troops retook territory (no villages or towns just farmland) back to the international border, thereby creating two pockets of #Russian forces in the region. LINK
quote:
#Russia can still move around the outside of the #UAF at the border by using roads w/in #Russia but reinforcements and supplies will have a much longer and slower route. #UAF also captured Tsupivka 18mi/29km N. This puts #RuAF within 5mi/8km of the border in that area. LINK
quote:
Finally, #Ukraine attacked #Rubizhne, Kharkiv Oblast with tanks, artillery and infantry and is making headway into the outskirts of the town. #Russian forces have stated that #UAF controls the road into the town and that they are cutoff by the bridge to the N that RuAF destroyed. LINK

You mean this one? Seems to be pulling in more Russian troops

#Kherson Axis - #Ukraine & #Russia traded territory today with #Ukraine capturing the small village of Sukhyi Stavok S of Davydiv Brid, while #Russia recaptured (or never lost) Davydiv Brid. #RuAF have been pouring troops into the area to try to push #UAF back over the river. LINK
If they get kicked out we will just call it a feint like the Russians do...

: Also an interesting study in to how stare decisis is a thing until it's not politically expedient.
Going back over some posts, and this is a topic that seems like an interesting debate could be had.
The original point was what defined a "Sovereign" Nation, and I asked the poster who made the claim that Ukraine wasn't a "Sovereign" nation if he believed the Confederacy to be a "Sovereign" nation (sorry for all the quotation marks, but they are relevant to the discussion).
Centinel then replied with this:
quote:
Trick question. Under the legal precedence prior to the war? Yes. Under the legal precedence after the war? No.
I'll let you interpret the fallout as you feel fit.
Then he ETA'd the above postulation.
Despite what Centinel claimed was legal or not at the time, by the OP's definition of "Sovereign", was the Confederacy a "Sovereign" state? And does he consider it to be have been a "Sovereign" state?
And if so: how does he justify that belief with his belief that Ukraine is not one?
I know this isn't the thread for a full discussion of the topic, but thought I'd bring it forth here to gauge interest before starting a topic of it's own.
ETA: THe OP I asked about the Confederacy was JayDeerTay84 and this was his post I responded to:
quote:
If you are not protected by another country or faction of countries, you are subject to your own defense and the whim of the political atmosphere around you.
So, if you are invaded and taken over, you are nothing. Morals dont really mean much when reality hits.
The above is why he claims the Ukraine is not a "Sovereign" Nation.

Russia’s military is shooting its own officers.
Real talk, when is the last time that Russia had a military "conflict" that would have gained them real Officers with combat experience?
The US just had a 20 year "Engagement" that garnered us combat experienced Command, most who probably started out as combat participants 20 years ago and advanced through their experience and effectiveness in the arena.
The two biggest "Boogeymen" in the world - Russia and China _ do not have that at all. Hell, China has less military experience than Russia has.
We are seeing how ineffective Russia's Command is, so why is the Poli Board so scared of a conflict with China? We would absolutely crush them if we fought them head to head, instead of supporting someone else in their fight against them, like we are doing with Ukraine.

China fights dirty. Just look at the Korean War history.

Has there been a protracted near peer conflict this generation? I think even the Russian mil-bloggers recognize that their experiences in Syria did nothing to materially prepare them for this conflict?
Any experience is good experience, but this is a level (intensity and duration) of conflict that is probably foreign to even many officers in the US armed forces.

We got that vapid “how many angels can dance on the head of a pin” sovereign bs behind us here.
Don’t attempt to revive it here.
Take all of this shite to the PoliBoard.

The PoliBoard contains a large number of posters who don’t live in reality and many who parrot foreign propaganda. Every once in a while a discussion of politics breaks out, but mostly it is disruption and fear porn.

I think the Chinese question is one of quantity, and willingness to sacrifice that quantity, and economic entanglement. We’ve been experiencing the problem on a much smaller scale for 2 years now, imagine if there was an active war. The other issue with a conflict with China is our debt and ability to finance such a massive undertaking that would be. That said, force vs force is completely one sided unless China has done a better job of accumulating and maintaining supposed new tech unlike Russia.

Huh? High ground matters is the point. Only the ignorant think that eastern Ukraine is as flat as a pancake.
UKR has the high ground here though Russia has a ridge at Popansa, it has not been able to progress beyond the ridge

It would be a good idea to increase your knowledge
