Again, if we were not prepared to send troops and fight Russia head on we are pissing in the wind with this proxy war shite. We could,have either called Russias bluff or gone ahead and started WW3 instead of this slow walk to WW3

First, NATO hasn't done squat because Ukraine isn't a NATO member and we're doing the best that we can to avoid a direct fight with Russia. I still believe that Russia's goal is to move into Poland and Romania. Ukraine itself doesn't gain Russia much. If you look at Russian military activity since the fall of the Soviet Union, they all center around securing geographic access points from which Russia has been invaded previously. Two of those access points are on the other side of Ukraine, but are in Poland and Romania. Second, Ukraine is no more sovereign Russian territory than the U.S. is sovereign British territory. They've been an independent country for over 30 years and want to remain that way.

Completely separate issues. I'm capable of paying attention to both simultaneously.

What's Ukraine been training up lately?
When did you serve?

Ukrainian troops have been getting trained by NATO instructors.
Some have, they’ve attended crash courses, condensing four to six months of training, into four weeks.
But the bulk of their army has none of this training. They’ll learn some parade maneuvers, apparently empty one magazine, and get sent off to the front lines. The whole process takes three or four weeks. In a couple of cases you had men, picked off the street by conscription officers, who ended up dead a week later in Bahkmut. It’s a shite show. They were just plugging the gaps with bodies.
Valeurs Actuelles, the right wing French news magazine, said more than 40% of the French trained soldiers have stopped reporting back, and are presumed dead.
Ukraine has started conscripting men who were previously considered medically ineligible for service.
That’s not a good sign.

Is this why the debt ceiling is now open ended thru 2025?
Never really heard why that was done by McCarthy.

Zelensky is saying they are ready now for a major counter offensive tho??
Posted on 6/4/23 at 7:56 am to KAGTASTIC
They don’t have enough men, they don’t have enough artillery, they don’t have enough ammunition for the artillery they have, they can provided little if any air support, and their own air defense are in very bad shape. They’re using a hodge podge of western armored vehicles, which they can not repair on their own, and which they don’t have enough of either.
I think they’ve delayed the offensive because they believe they’ll just get their men killed.
They burned three good brigades north of Bahkmut, in that small offensive, going up against one Russian motorized rifle brigade, for no long term gain.
An large offensive will just repeat this on a greater scale, exposing a substantial portion of their army to destruction.

Tantal,
If Europe was so scared of Russia invading they have had the last decade to rearm nato and they havent done shat. They openly laughed at Trump during his UN speech when he said they should be paying their 2% of GDP for military funding of their own armies.
They arent afraid of it and neither is the rest of the world. Its just a big money laundering excuse.
And in case you havent been paying attention, spring is over and soon to be summer.......and still no offensive by ukraine. No doubt we will now hear about the mud season. So when is this offensive to take place, Ill tell you when, never, and the bank accounts of every American are empty. And zepensky will be long gone somewhere on the French Riviera.
Oh they will make some limp effort and call it a day and blame it on the US for not enough weapons, and so will the world, and you will watch inflation continue to climb and your taxes increase....

Even if Russia takes Ukraine, their choices are to either roll into Poland and Romania and get their dicks slapped by NATO, or stay put in Ukraine and fight a NATO-funded insurgency for decades. They probably should have just stayed home.
The "inevitable march" across/thru Europe is an absolute myth. What should have stayed home is our money & our weapons.

The MIC does not want it to end and they are ok with sacrificing young Ukrainian men as they think this is a smart war. I'll continue to "hold" my "defense" stocks.

Have you been right about anything since this war began? Given your prediction rate, you have to be batting near zero.

They'll do it the ole fashioned Russian way. Draft a bunch give them a gun with 10 bullets and put them at the front of the front.

Do you drink up your propaganda, because you want to believe it?
Or because it’s it’s what other people do, and you want to do what other people do.
