re: Latest Updates: Russia-Ukraine Conflict

While the dismissal of the prosecutor, Iryna Venediktova, surprised some analysts, the ouster of the security chief, Ivan Bakanov, had been forecast for some time. The Security Service of Ukraine, or SBU, has for years faced allegations that its ranks are infiltrated by Russian assets, claims bolstered by two recent high profile arrests

From your own sourcing. Literally the second paragraph. But I bet you would rather he kept Russian assets in his govt.

Pro Russian/anti Biden people go out of their way to makeZalensky the bad guy, but the bad guy is Putin.

I’m not saying Zalensky is George Washington, but he’s led Ukraine when string leadership was required. He didn’t start the war, Putin did way before Zalensky took office when he invaded Crimea.

How the frick doesn’t he get impeached for that phone call? That’s a hundred times worse than what Trump did.

I completely get the warnings, but I surely don't remember anything offered other than a free ride to exile offered

Twitter analysis of Russian logistics

RU forces are moving the train offload points out of HIMARS range, this image gives an indication of how this affects delivery times. The conclusion is the transport times have doubled, so they need twice the amount of trucks to be able to keep up the rate of delivery.

The analysis down thread is interesting too, where it notes that partisans will have an easier time disrupting logistics behind the lines once Russia is committed to using trucks instead of armored trains. It seems probable that Russia won’t be able to maintain the level of conflict they did the last couple of months as a result of the losses of men and equipment and the longer, less secure supply lines.

Not without a severe cost associated with it.

That being said, I predict that Russia is gonna Russia. Those supply lines will be a meat grinder, and yet they will still manage.

the drones were boats. He laughed about not having any problem hitting them if they wanted to. I do not recall sort of anti ship missiles they were using.

We had a tow target for our turrets. The ASROCS were coordinate guided. As for Sea Sparrows, planes would fly by with a target towed behind them (these targets were also used for our Phalanx guns). The Tomahawks were shot at land targets based on coordinates.

All were fairly accurate, but nothing compared to today’s weaponry.

Not that it negates your argument, but he’s still right.

I would suggest he is completely wrong in that he applied the "democracy" argument incorrectly to our constitutional republic..

Another aspect of this is the inevitable temporal nature of everything in life...
