I misread your post as 4 years when you said fourth year. I have no problem admitting when I am wrong. You were correct

Yes, 6 weeks less than 4 years, at least according to my math.

To be precise because details matter, 5 weeks and 5 days less.

I don't know how you pull it off successfully, and then you have the same supply problem which forced them to retreat the first time, unless they push forward and take Nikolaev

They did two contested crossings on the Oskil north of Kupiasnk recently, but that's 100 feet of water, vs more than half a mile. The right bank of the Dnieper is also quite high in the Kherson area


I don't think they'll do it, but who knows, they might try it in a fit of avos

I doubt they try a contested crossing, the FPV drones would feast on the wide-open Russians stuck on a pontoon bridge.

The Russians have flooded Kherson with FPV drones, it's an easy target, and there was footage two days ago of three bombs hitting what was described as a hub for Ukrainian drone operators on the other bank

who knows

There are some posters in this thread that needs to heed this advice.

quote:

During my senate campaign in 2022, I met a Ukrainian-American man in NE Ohio. He was very angry about my views on the conflict, and my desire to bring it to a rapid close.

"You are trying to abandon my country, and I don't like it."

"Sir, I replied, "your country is the United States of America, and so is mine."

I always found it offensive that a new immigrant to our country would be willing to use the power and influence of their new nation to settle the ethnic rivalries of the old.

One of the most important parts of assimilation is seeing *your* country as the USA. It's part of the bargain: if you're welcomed into our national family, you ought to look out for the interests of the United States. I know many immigrants who have the right perspective, and I'm grateful to them. For example, I met many Ukrainian Americans during that campaign (and since) who agreed with my views, or at the very least, asked the right question: what is in the best interests of the United States?

Dead Russians are always in the best interest of the United States.

They are not our friends and never will be.

They are of asiatic descent and, therefore, think deviously.

LMAO: Economists for Ukraine value America’s aid not that high, only $50 billion!

They say, the actual value of US military aid to Ukraine is $18.3 billion instead of the more than $60 billion announced in Washington.

The main reason for the disagreement is the inflated assessment of old American equipment.

?? “Our findings show that in three years of full-scale war, the total monetary value of US aid delivered to Ukraine’s government amounts to $50.9 billion, of which $18.3 billion comprise military aid, and the remaining $32.6 billion is direct budget support”

Then get on a plane. Fly to Kiev. Suit up and go kill them.

What about dead Ukrainians? Don't they count or do any of you people care?

We don't think or talk about race, so it stands out when other groups bring it up
