Hookers or HIMARs?

Thats the official number but too many ammo dumps in too many places getting hit to be only 8.

They have planes and drones that can attack ammo dumps too. Ever since HIMARS arrived in theater every cool explosion has been attributed to HIMARS. Just like every Russian tank that was blown up early in the war was killed by a Javelin according to the internet when it reality it was probably responsible for closer to 25% of the tank kills.

Finally, Finally, something all posters can agree on. We should funnel many many of them back to the USA. For medicinal purposes only of course.

Russia invaded Ukraine in 2014 and escalated the war in February. Case closed
Russia is a poor fawked up country pathetic country filled with paranoia. Demographics are not on their side. Most everybody hates them even those who coexist. They will continue to make trouble until they don't. There are likely people in Russia who enjoyed the possibility of being part of the world. But they can't say that now. They are so bendable to their leadership's will.

Peter Zeihan, The Changing Character of War
Many of you seem interested in geopolitics. I found my way to this YT video yesterday after listening to the same guy on a Times Radio podcast. He is giving a presentation to the officers at FT Benning. He lays out where this is all going and why Russia likely will not stop at Ukraine. It's a perception of vulnerable entry points from opposing armies into the motherland. He doesn't see Russia or China as the victors in this struggle. They have too much going against them. We, over here have a lot going for us but in many ways it's geography and the ability to raise and sustain our own crops and our moats on the west (Pacific) and east (Atlantic) which allows us to focus our military outward. And we will form alliances with our brothers to the immediate south and north. Mexico is very much a big plus for us as part of an ascendant coalition. But he sees turmoil ahead. If you decide to watch, watch at 1.5 or 1.75 speed because it is long but is interesting IMHO.

They have 12 in country right now with 4 more just being promised. There’s also 3 M270’s I’m country from Britain so they have 15 so far. Soon to be 19.

Zeihan has been so wrong about so much in the past. I no longer pay attention to his videos

I read somewhere that the US has a stockpile of 50,000+ GPS-guided missiles, but I can’t find it again. Does this sound right?
If this is accurate, won’t this weapon alone quickly reduce Russia’s manpower advantage? Their battle plan in Ukraine’s south seems to be to pound the orcs’ supply lines, ammo depots and field leaders before sending in the infantry to mop up.

I've seen Russian MILFs and GILFs aplenty in Russia Far East.

I think he puts together a pretty good story. And now you join the ranks of know it alls in geopolitics. Have you been invited to present your theories to the army?
I'll bet you didn't even listen to it. And I suspect most on this board wouldn't. Have you been interviewed by Times Radio?
Posted on 7/23/22 at 10:10 pm to aTmTexas Dillo
He has been all over the board since Feb 24th. Doesn't know squat about commodities, especially oil. But he sounds like he knows all about them. Formerly part of Stratfor which originated in Baton Rouge but moved to Austin because Baton Rouge was too conservative to get academics to work for it.
FWIW there were lots of very learned and with credentials out the wazoo interviewed during the BP Macondo Spill who didn't have a clue. One was Machio Kaku. Then there is former Sec of Energy, Chu, was a renowned physicist but spent money all over the place on processes that worked in computer simulations but not in real life, not a single one to my knowledge was successful and I went to several before they were demolished. Bought some nice shiny unused equipment downstream of the main process for CHEAP

We most likely have more than that. Those are very costly and very previous munitions though and they aren’t easily replaced. We have to keep a good stockpile of these smart weapons as our military’s way of doing things now is precision versus the Russians still using WW2 tactics and carpet bombing. We need these to keep for our own planes, ships and the army. They could give some but it wouldn’t be a large quantity. We are already hunting at the Ukrainians to ease up on the HIMARS ammunition a bit.

In early March, Russia was going to go completely belly up, not a single nation was going to buy its oil and the pipelines were going to solidify in the Siberian winter, per Zeihan. I listened to a few more then never went back.

Interesting interview, the fellow who had gone over there has a similar look to our veterinarian and his mannerisms/speech pattern spot on.

Man I fricking miss Donald Trump as President. I’ve never liked his blustery dramatic stuff but he fricking ran shop in so many ways, most especially international geopolitical things.
