Ill believe it when I see it.
Every few months there is a "next big thing" that's going to turn the tide. So far nothing has.
And it still seems like the US attitude toward Russia is a gradual, controlled demolition that gives them off ramps along the way vs unleashing anything that would win the war with a quickness. Agree or disagree with that, but that's clearly what's been going on since 2022.

I actually saw the term NAFO in the wild for the first time today..apparently NAFO posters on X are claiming that the US has failed to deliver some type of weapon that Biden promised Ukraine, only that the Biden admin never promised it. Clearly just throwing shite at the wall and trying to make it real.

Funds for weapons to Ukraine passed by Congress and signed by Biden were not all spent before time expired because Biden Admin didn't deliver as promised. This all happened in 2022.

"Nafo" is bountyful on X ukro-related accounts, many paid shills who don't actually hold discussions just spout "slava Zucchini" and post ukro flag emojis. Repeat the same false talking points, like a retarded low-T cringe hivemind.

This was about something very specific that was never promised at all.

We certainly didn't provide the breaching equipment as promised then forced Ukraine into a failed to do much summer offensive in 2023

Breaching what? Mines or K-52 laser guided rockets Russia lit Ukrainis up with? Alligator helis were absolutely ravaging APCs and all types of tanks. Alligators and Lancets were the MVPs of killing any push by the Ukrainians well before they could get through the 1st defensive line.
As it turned out Ukros cannot and hold any appreciable amount of land after lines have stabilized. Their best advancing since 2023 was Kursk and look what happened to them there. And that was 1000 sq. km, which is about what Russia gains every 5-6 weeks.

Minefields which were extensive. The other defensive measures easy as pie to cut through.

I refuse to link the CCP owned Asia Times article but Stephen Bryen is full of crap about only qualified NATO personnel can launch Tomahawks. They are designed for a high school graduate to program and launch.

The point wasn't "we have never backed out of something we agreed to give them", it was that "this group on Twitter is fabricating something out of thin air saying that we did for a particular item". Glad I could help.

You asked what piece of equipment. I gave you an example.
Are you sure you aren't QAnon Shaman suing Trump for $40 trillion?

Are you talking about the KA-52s that are having to launch rockets in parabolic arcs because if they get close to the front they get shot down? Also lets not act like Russian APCs and tanks aren't also getting ravaged. Neither side has shown they can use any type of armored vehicle effectively.

I think attrition is starting to come into play in a big way. The question is will Russia capitalize on it. Once again they are wasting manpower, equipment, and resources to take a city that no longer has any value. Instead of cutting the road to the east and potentially forcing a mass surrender they are once again leaving Ukrainian forces the ability to withdraw and establish another defensive line.

'Tantamount to defeat' — even Russian propagandists don't think Russia is winning the war in Ukraine
September 29, 2025 8:11 PM
After months of disagreement over peace talks, the White House and several Kremlin propagandists are finally in unison about something — Russia's war in Ukraine is not going well for Moscow.
in recent days, several pro-Kremlin figures have acknowledged that Russia’s military campaign is faltering
Ukrainian mapping and monitoring group Deep State put the total figure for new territory occupied over June, July, and August at 1,548 square kilometers, losing 94,810 personnel over the same three months, or an average of 1,030 per day.
While more territory than it occupied in the equivalent period in 2024, it still only amounts to 0.003% of total Ukraine's total territory.
Russian propagandist Tatyana Montyan admitted that manpower is lacking for offensive operations, warning that President Vladimir Putin may be forced to announce a new wave of mobilization "if there’s no major breakthrough in this spring-autumn campaign.""In the first half of September, the pace of the offensive slowed significantly. They may have committed their last reserves," she said in a recent interview on Sept. 22.
Dmitry Rogozin, a Russian senator representing the occupied Zaporizhzhia region, went further, acknowledging on Sept. 21 that the front line had reached a "deadlock" and that Moscow was incapable of achieving significant advances.
"It's impossible to advance. There's a deadlock at the front," he said.
Pavel Gubarev, former Russian proxy in Ukraine's Donetsk Oblast and veteran of the war, commented on Rogozin's statement. He noted that Russian forces are often on the offensive while Ukraine defends, leading to "incomparably heavy losses." "In reality, the current situation is already tantamount to defeat for us. Russia does not have the capability to complete the special military operation with the achievement of set goals and victory under the colonial system of the current government," Gubarev wrote.
On September 19, on Russia’s state-controlled channel NTV during the live political talk show "Mesto Vstrechi" (Meeting place) one guest openly questioned the official figures on Ukrainian losses. He argued that the numbers cited by the Russian side were simply impossible:
"With the outbreak of hostilities, the Ukrainian army went up to 800,000 people. Then, along the way, it increased by somewhere near 100,000–120,000 per year. Thus, there can be no 1,700,000–2,000,000 losses because, in that case, the Ukrainian army simply would not exist," he said.
"So you mean the Russian Ministry of Defense is lying?" The host asked him.
"Not only ours," he replied, adding that "it is a huge mistake to underestimate the Ukrainian army."

Russian drone kills couple and their two children in Sumy Oblast; mother pregnant with twins

An entire family – the Liesnichenkos – was killed when a Russian drone struck their home in the village of Chernechchyna in Sumy Oblast on the night of 29-30 September. The couple, Alyona and Oleksandr, along with their two young sons aged six and four, were killed.
Source: local secondary school; Kordon.Media, a local news outlet in Sumy Oblast
Details: According to the village head Oksana Chernova and the couple's neighbours, the family had moved to Chernechchyna from Krasnopillia, which is a bit closer to the front line, after their house there had been damaged. In their new village, they lived in Alyona's parents' home.
"We learned on site […] that this family had only recently relocated. They fled the attacks and settled here in a new house," local journalists reported.
Kordon.Media added that the 26-year-old mother had been pregnant with twins:
"What remains of their home are ruins – no roof, no walls. In the garden, children's clothes are still hanging out to dry, prepared for the arrival of two more babies."
Sumy Oblast Military Administration earlier confirmed that Russian forces had deliberately targeted the house where the family lived. According to the regional prosecutor's office, the attack occurred at around 02:40.
Emergency workers later recovered the bodies of the parents and their sons from under the rubble.
Law enforcement has opened a criminal case for war crimes that caused civilian deaths under Article 438.2 of the Criminal Code (war crime resulting in death). Authorities continue to document the aftermath of the attack.

If tweet fails to load, click here. Ukrainian public broadcaster hromadske, citing Andrii Besedin, Head of Kupiansk City Military Administration, on the national joint 24/7 newscast, stated that:
"The situation is critical. In addition to sabotage and reconnaissance groups that have infiltrated or are infiltrating the city, the enemy carries out extensive attacks on the city and the surrounding territory. The proximity of the front line enables them to strike with everything in their arsenal: tanks, mortars, artillery and multiple-launch rocket systems. Guided aerial bombs are being dropped daily on the territory of the Kupiansk hromada. Fibre-optic FPV drones that cannot be jammed by electronic warfare are effectively hunting civilians and vehicles. Every route into and through the city, all logistical routes are, unfortunately, under the watch of enemy drones."
Besedin added that the city’s infrastructure has collapsed: there is no power, water, gas supply, mobile connectivity or social services. Hundreds of residents have so far refused to evacuate."
