Have we seen videos
I did see a video today showing the NLAW British anti tank hand held weapon. Supposedly these are lighter than Javelins and deadly. And the attack I saw on YT was deadly.

In WWII the Russians made heavy use of “psychologists” at Stalingrad. They would launch waves of attacks against fixed German positions and when the attackers were overwhelmed and retreated the “psychologists” machine gunned them.

Because you’ve been doing nothing but insulting people in this thread. For example GeauxxxTigers2 has been criticized heavily in this thread. But he has contributed by posting sources of his own and adding his own (elaborated) thoughts on topics.

You’ve been on this site for several years, thought you would’ve known. Since you don’t, you can click search -> more options -> and type in the poster’s name to look up their specific posts on this board only

I just heard a report that the Russian army has slaughtered a very large number of people in the town of Bucha, Ukraine while the army was withdrawing. The report is that citizens were brought out of their homes and slaughtered in the streets. I’m looking for something I can link. EDIT: There are videos of bodies of civilians all over the streets but I won’t link them. If you actually want to see that, it’s out there.
Maybe real or maybe fake but do not watch this video if you have a weak stomach.

Don't drag GeauxxxTigers2 down by comparing him to SDV. That's a terrible insult.

Two main things I’m hearing. Ukrainians will retake crimea and there’s going to be “retribution” for 2014.
While I hope Ukraine is able to get Crimea back, this seems wildly optimistic & is a direct contradiction to what Zelensky has said on the issue.
Obviously he could say this publicly & something completely different in private but I tend to believe he meant it. This has been a huge disaster for Russia, there is no denying that, but there is also no denying that Russian strikes have dealt a significant blow to Ukraine's military infrastructure. I think Ukraine can likely take back recent Russian territorial gains(since Feb), but outside of that, it will be very tough sledding & extremely costly. The same way people drastically overestimated the Russian military are now drastically underestimating it. This is not me defending Russia in any way but I just think people need to temper expectations for how this next part plays out.
I certainly appreciate the insight from your foreign sources, please keep it coming.

I don't think it is in Ukraine's best interest long term to be on the offensive in Crimea. The best strategy IMO is to hold the line in southeast best you can. Russia is on the retreat in the north. Ukraine special ops should target military supply lines. Whether it be fuel depot's or food distributors... This will slowly eat away at Putin's propaganda that there is no war. This isnt going to be over anytime soon and the world should not become apathetic. Russia is supposedly world superpower but in reality they are a hipster working at Starbucks trying to figure out how to load a single shot .410 with 20 gauge shotgun shells
Ukraine needs to recapture Kherson, then Nova Kakhova which controls the intake for the North Crimean Canal and then Melitopol which controls the roads and railroads connecting Russia and Crimea.
If they do that then they can cut off Crimea from its water source, and block the land bridge to Crimea. The Crimean water reserves were about empty before the war and have not had enough time to refill. Russia would either have to negotiate in good faith for a mutual peace deal instead or let Crimea go thirsty.

No originality, baw. None.
I do like that gif though, it makes me giggle. That's why I started using it every time you showed up.

I’m trying to parse my words carefully. What was maybe satisfactory 5 days ago isn’t satisfactory any longer. Ukrainians are being described as “Stubborn Greeks” in terms of negotiation. So maybe view what has happened the last 10 days and then 5 days in that context. People I’ve talked with say Crimea will be the pound of flesh, Donbas is the bone you throw to the dogs.
ETA Ukrainian military in terms of materials seized from Russia are actually 15% to the good from the onset of hostilities.

Crimea didn't have that water to begin with. That's why one of the first things Russia did was blow the dam. I don't know how much leverage that would actually give the Ukranians at this point. I just don't know how much Putin and crew specifically care (right now).
I don't believe, at this point in time, that it is a good idea for the Ukes to attempt to take Crimea. It makes sense for them to fight to cut off the separatist regions from Crimea, though. Linking those areas was one of Russia's original goals. Severing that link should be a current goal of Ukraine. Going farther toward trying to take Crimea while you still have your own cities embroiled in conflict and an enemy that you're not sure of their next move doesn't seem wise.

See unlike some people I’ve been drawn to your previous postings on Crimeas water/irrigation issues and asked about it. I can confirm what your saying is true. Crimea will be included in any referendum question with any chance of passage.

Absolutely. This is the only way to obtain regime change in Moscow.
1. Regime change is never a good policy for the USA or any nation to adopt. If Russia wants to get rid of Putin then let the Russians do it.
2. The only time when breaking up a country is a good idea is when it is peaceful and mutual like when Czechoslovakia broke into the Czech Republic and Slovakia. However most of the time it does not work out that smooth.
