Russian Ukrainian War

[Spitfire IX]

I call bullshit on your post. If they truly wanted peace they wouldn’t have encouraged the violent overthrow of the government back in 2014 but let the democratic process play itself out and not encourage the nazi regime to violently suppress Russian speaking population in Donbas and Luhansk.

What you wrote is just pure propaganda. Macron and Boris Johnson are war criminals and need to be prosecuted as such.

I don't know what was going on in Donbas and Luhansk in the early 2010's but I suspect that there was discrimination against those wishing to align with Russia rather than Ukraine. How did that come about? A decade earlier I gather the vast majority voted to remain part of Ukraine.

There is a great deal of evidence to support the charge that Russian politicians and troops have committed war crimes against the Ukrainians. It may be that if Putin's regime falls, he and others will be pursued. What evidence is there with which to charge Macron and Johnson?

If I understand you, you think that it's dumb to be free?

You are only truly free when you die.

The evidence you cited are nothing but smoke and mirrors. In face there are more than enough evidence in Africa and Afghanistan to indict Macron and Biden for war crimes.

And Boris Johnson torpedoed any chance of peace that Ukraine could have had with Russia without losing territory. Putin - all he wanted was to follow the Minsk accords and keep Ukraine out of NATO. But no you guys had to have a stupid brain fart and decided that the Minsk accords could be tossed out and the rights and expressions of Russian people who have lived in Ukraine for centuries be damned.

Classic case of if I do it I am right, if you do it, you are wrong.

Your sheer arrogance and stupidity is astonishing.

I remember when a European leader told Zelensky he was being ungrateful, Zelensky then went on a kiss everyone's ass tour saying how grateful he was to everyone. Now the clown is insulting western leaders by saying they are weak and Putin is controlling them. He's also being ungrateful again by claiming it was all Ukraine that stopped Russia and not saying it was western aid that was the main reason for Ukraine's survival. This dude is one big fucking idiot.

The first footage of attacks by Russian FPV drones "Prince Vandal Novgorodsky", controlled via fiber optic cable, on the Ukrainian two-link transporter-tractor "Bv 206". The video was filmed in the Kharkiv region of Ukraine. Previously, the all-terrain vehicle was used by the 141st infantry brigade of the Ukrainian army.
The tracked articulated all-terrain vehicle Bandvagn 206 was developed in Sweden in 1974, and is still actively used today. Due to the low ground pressure, not all anti-tank mines explode under it. The carrying capacity of the all-terrain vehicle "Bv 206" is about 2240 kg, it can carry up to 17 soldiers.
Judging by the video, the Ukrainian all-terrain vehicle Bv 206 was attacked by several Russian FPV drones, as a result of which the all-terrain vehicle was destroyed.

[WW2historian]

The US left leaning "the hill" has attacked Zelenksy. This same publication called him a hero. Everyone is turning against the clown. The attacks on Zelensky are shocking. I was even surprised.

"Zelensky joins a long line of leaders who prioritize their own well-being over the well-being of their nations. This represents a pathological form of selfishness, where self-preservation comes at any cost, even if it means thousands more women and children will die. And they will. Ukraine is being fed into a meat grinder. Yet, perversely, the illusion must be maintained.

And the media, ever compliant, helps sell the fiction — the indomitable Zelensky, the unbreakable Ukraine, the noble fight for democracy. It is a clean, simple story, easy to digest, and easy to justify. Another weapons shipment. Another aid package. Another extension of a catastrophic conflict that should have ended long ago.

But objective reality does not care for emotionally charged narratives. It is cold. It is brutal. And the hard truth is this: Ukraine is losing, and Zelensky is making sure it keeps losing."

A good part of Ukraine’s weaponry now comes from Western countries. The ammunition for these weapons is also not produced in Ukraine, lets say that he lost his support and Aid I wonder how many days he will last against the Russians

You'd think Russia was waring in splendid isolation.
I like idiotic comparisons. Here's India and Russia as equal opponents, and here's a heavyweight boxer in the ring with a lightweight boxer. And what saves him is his ability to move quickly around the ring and wait for the heavyweight to get tired to deliver a series of winning blows.
Indeed, without external supplies we are doomed. But not everyone, like Trump, measures in money.

The Russian Tigers unit, which uses FPV drones controlled via fiber optic cable, has released footage of an attack on a Ukrainian military convoy in the Kursk region of Russia. The convoy includes a German-made Leopard 2A6 tank, a Russian-made Kamaz truck, and presumably an American-made Humvee armored vehicle. No drones were used for surveillance, so the extent of damage to the military equipment is unclear. The exact location of the footage has not been reported.

Your light heavyweight against a heavyweight would be a great analogy but Ukraine is not moving around. They allow themselves to be cornered and not move. Also they attack like they did in Kursk, got surrounded and are getting destroyed. You need to come up with a better analogy. I give you a hint, it's not a great analogy but it's better than yours and it's also a boxing analogy and it's closer to what's really going on, Ali's rope a dupe against Forman. As you all know Ali won after Forman punched himself out.

I watch modern boxing, I'm not interested in ancient. Even Mike Tyson is a thing of the past for me.
You reason like a heavyweight boxer. There is progress - that means there is success. But in the Kursk region, the task is not to capture towns/cities. Why should we feed someone else's population.
Russian General Aludinov said that in 2 months the Ukrainians would be thrown out of the Kursk region. 6 months have passed...
You see everything else on the map. A million soldiers on each side and in a year of Russian offensive, 3% of the captured Ukrainian territory and an assault Izh 412 instead of an infantry fighting vehicle.
Did you see the video of the psychological attack with the red flags yesterday? It didn't help them.

Top Russian and American officials will hold talks on ending the Ukraine war without Kyiv

The Kremlin says senior American and Russian officials will hold talks on improving their ties and negotiating an end to the war in Ukraine.

The use of FPV drones controlled via fiber optic cable was demonstrated by the 155th Separate Guards Brigade of the Russian Marine Corps. The servicemen showed episodes of using drones on their section of the front in the Kursk region of Russia. Judging by the video, the unit mainly attacked Ukrainian M2A2 Bradley ODS-SA IFVs with drones. The video also shows a French-made VAB armored personnel carrier, a Humvee armored vehicle, and an American-made M777 howitzer. The M2A2 Bradley IFVs are equipped with the Ukrainian version of the Mangal mesh protection. Surveillance drones were not used in the attacks. The official report states that five Ukrainian M2A2 Bradley ODS-SA IFVs were destroyed.

A Russian serviceman witnessed a close explosion of a cluster munition in Ukraine. It is believed to have been an American 155mm M864 DPICM cluster artillery shell, used by the Ukrainian army in M777 howitzers. The M864 shell contains 48 M42 submunitions weighing 208 grams and 24 M46 submunitions weighing 213 grams. When the M864 shell explodes, it produces up to 300 fragments with a lethal radius of up to 6 meters.

End Biden-Era Sanctions on Russia

Biden imposed sweeping sanctions on Russia, but they neither crushed its economy nor stopped the Ukraine war. Instead, they hardened Russia’s resolve to hold its captured territory in Ukraine. The $180 billion in U.S. military aid to Ukraine achieved nothing.

As the world’s dominant economic power, America controls global trade through the ‘dollar’. Cutting a country off from this system can cripple its economy. Russia faced severe sanctions, including exclusion from SWIFT and bans on gas exports, but it adapted by lowering oil prices and attracting buyers like China and India.

While the sanctions hurt Russia, they failed to force a surrender. Military pressure in Ukraine also proved ineffective. Russia will not be easily defeated.

With new U.S. president on January 20th, the Ukraine war’s course has shifted. America is now seeking peace. Vice President Vance travelled to Europe to tell the European Allies of change in strategy, while Secretary of State Rubio went to Saudi Arabia to discuss sanctions relief with Russia.

For Ukraine, Russia, Europe, and war-weary Americans, this is a welcome news. The shooting war may soon end because without American money and support the war cannot proceed too far.

Hence all indications are that the war in Ukraine is at the tail end……. Bravo President Trump.

 

[Akim]

I don't see the war ending. It's just creating information noise and the US stopping sponsorship. The financial burden will be redistributed to Europe and we will have more Turkish shells because Europe has money but few weapons. A 155mm shell from Turkey is cheaper than one from the US.
