Here we go -
Added to this from earlier -
The Europeans paying the Americans with Ukrainian money which all came from the Russians. Sort of Deep State-ish at first but get used to it. This is a $350 billion letter of credit pipeline that will keep the US MIC in champagne for a decade at least. The Prudhoe Bay of defense spending.

And none of it will change the situation at the front. It will mostly be air defense systems to protect Ukrainian cities (which they need as well) but no weapons to shift the balance in their favor on the front lines.

He's like the anti JB. Never thought I'd say this but I kinda miss him

He is the Ukrainian JB.
Wait until he binge posts his TDS rants. It is pure gold.

I don't believe that for a minute that Russia wants all of Ukraine. Occupying western Ukraine would be a headache.
Putin wants what he calls Novorossiya.
When Putin launched this, he had been led to believe that Ukraine would welcome, or at least not fight, becoming a rump state like Belarus.
That doesn't seem to be the case... but too late for him. Yes, occupying any Ukrainian territory will be a pain for Russia... they will face an endless insurgency and sabotage. His calculus is... well, non-existent at this point. He just has to try to press forward.

I think what Ukraine is doing right now is smart... waging war on Russia's ability to wage war. I also think had they done that in a more concentrated way sooner they would be in a much better spot.
They were listening to the Pentagon before... they stopped that and created a strategy of their own.

Counterattack? Didn't work.
to some degree because they were listening to the Pentagon, and also because Musk ordered their Starlink cut off when they began taking back a lot of territory (I posted a news article that uncovered his orders, I can post again)

Long range strikes and a few assassinations meant to grab headlines and embarrass Russia? Didn't work.
debatable.

Now they are doing something that can actually be effective. Is it too late? Hopefully not.
The long range strikes WERE this, waging war on Russia's ability to wage war and the oil that finances it.

To say that Russian ground forces weren't well trained before 2022 seems a little crazy. Russia has always put everything into it's ground troops. Pilots and naval forces yea they might not have been well trained but the ground troops were.
Not at all. Corruption all the way from generals down to privates. Sign docs saying you trained and burned fuel doing so while selling the fuel to the black market. Wow, we aren't actually training so no one will notice the copper wiring missing. Trucks not even moving so tires dry rot and never changed. Replacement tires sold to black market.
There was a whole video showing Russian corruption from top to bottom over 2 years ago posted on the original thread.

As of now, as a result of Russia’s terror attack on Kyiv, 16 people have been killed, including 2 children and one policeman. Over 150 have been injured, including 16 children and 6 policemen.
Unimaginable scale of terror and brutality.
Rescue and recovery operations are still ongoing. All teams are working and trying to find more people under rubble. I am grateful to all of our brave first responders.
These brutal strikes were deliberate—these were Russia’s responses to everyone around the world who called for an end to the war. Terror in response to peace efforts.
We need powerful and synchronized pressure on the aggressor and a clear position of all responsible and peace-loving states. We can stop Russia and its terror together.

I got a pretty good idea that it won't because of one line in the in the document. Salaries and stipends. That where most of this money is going. And even if it isn't any equipment that will make a difference will be very outdated like all the rest of it has. So no unless they are sending Ukraine the latest stuff (they aren't) it won't make a difference.

Perun has done an amazing job with his weekly videos since the 2022 invasion. He used to only do a gaming blog but is connected to the Australian military in procurement somehow and knows his stuff.

Every former Soviet Bloc citizen I've ever met hates Russia and its corrupting influence. Corruption is not new to Russia just because its no longer officially Communist. It goes back to the time of the Mogols.

And they didn't really change much of anything on the front.
Now they are focused more on striking military and logistics targets related directly to the war, which is far more effective because Russia doesn't have good avenues to replace the things they hit.

What were they hitting originally with the long-distance strikes? I'd assume a refinery or oil storage field is an easier target to hit while perfecting all of that compared to a factory inside a city.
Ukraine cannot go meatwave to meatwave with Russia on the front. But disrupting the ammo, fuel and food supplies to the troops on the front will make a difference. Then again, Russia is already using donkeys, making infantry advance without ammo or guns and not feeding its troops anyway.

like him or hate him, trump has changed his wording and actions on russia in the last week.
1. more ammo flowing
2. no more blocking weapons
3. change on ukr staying in the USA (will be allowed to stay till after the war)
4. opening up sales to eu and ukr
5. harder talk against ru
6. talking tough against countries like EU and india for buying ru gas and oil.
the fact is that russia hates this, and we will have to see where it goes. but facts are facts. something has changed

If tweet fails to load, click here. Correct, so far. The only guarantee with Trump about the short term future is that it will change and change again.
Of course, this could have something to do with it -
