100% agreed. There is video of AA fire coming from the Ukrainians tonight though, which again begs the question - what the hell are the Russians doing? How are they not softening targets?

Also sounds like they are having trouble finding them. Where are all the drones at?

 

And still can't believe how many lights are on in Kyiv.

I’m a little pissed at Zelensky.   He’s admirable in his defense and support of his people, but he should have been prepping for such an outcome for years.   We all talk about the Fins?   They started preparing for war in the 20s.  Even in ‘39 they were not fully ready.   Hopefully everyone sees this and gets their own houses in order.   This is the beginning of a massive shift in geopolitics.   Defense budgets will SOAR.  

He was a comedian 3 years ago.  Not sure how you can say he’s not exceeding expectations.

How many troopers do these hold? I’m assuming they still jump out but are suddenly dispersed?

[Brisketexan 105082]

No shit.  This is a good thing.  All the armchair warhawks talking about putting US or NATO forces into the field need to take a deep breath.   Russian is being bled and staggering.   Let them stagger and let them bleed.  They can still hurt us and the rest of the world and no amount of conventional arms can stop it.  
 
continue to feed the Ukes weapons and supplies and burn the Russian finances down.  They are in a monumental mess that they are only now realizing.  It will only get worse for them.   
 
what’s the adage about interrupting an enemy when they are making a mistake?

Eventually it’s all going “to fall”…..that’s when their pain really set in as it always does for the occupying force.  This has the makings of a meat grinder for the Russians 

You and I are agreeing a whole lot on this thread.

Let’s give murderous shitstain Putin all the rope he needs to hang himself.

I’m dead serious, I’m looking to chip in for weapons and body armor for the Ukrainian fighters. There’re in this for the long haul. Let’s send back stacks of broken Russian bodies, every….fucking….day.

It's beginning to look the the typical Russian soldier doesn't want to be there,  doesn't know why they are there, and doesn't want to fuck with people literally protecting their homes. Vlad has put himself in quite the pickle. And they are showing their ass.  He has nukes and that's basically it. 

[Goofyboy 3269]

Saw a tweet that Russian soldiers are going into homes looking for food / dry clothing. Seems like more and more reports about the Russian army not wanting to be there are possibly true.

Lt. Col Daniel Davis on cnnl, saying that Ukrainians are finally getting their asses kicked he thinks and are not holding Kyiv very well, that the Russians have made extraordinarily fast progress through the evening to Kyiv. Seems to be the most pessimistic of the analysts I've heard so far today, I wonder if things are finally moving against Ukraine. FWIW...

[troph 24781]

Now a retired LTC saying basically surrender agree to neutrality and talk to Putin. Buncha reactionary experts.

I think he was just saying that he thinks it's dangerous for them to be hauling Molotov cocktails and things that they're not used to or haven't trained with, but yeah it's kind of like saying they need to fold and stack the chairs on the Titanic so nobody bumps into them and hurts themselves while it's sinking. Kind of misses the point, doesn't it?

Most of the ones I've known are useless middle-management types who couldn't make the jump to full colonel, or who put in their 20 and then had another solid career/goals planned outside of the military.

This is why I say a direct conflict with Russia is a shit idea.   You’d be looking at the real possibility of needing weapons and body armor for your son……not the Ukrainians.

Unless the rear door was already open or they had enough time and control of the plane to open it and jump, they were suddenly dispersed on the ground.

This right here. Lt. Colonel is the default terminal rank for career officers that never make the cut to advance. Basically middle management. There are a million of them.

Is recently as a decade ago, most of the Ukrainian leaders were clowns so it's quite understandable that people were skeptical. The Ukrainian leaders were either way out of their league or corrupt and serving timeB. ut this guy's become the freaking George Washington of Ukraine in 2 days. He's got balls to spare.

I don’t believe many conscripts are in Ukraine yet. They seem to be north or held back in other brigades. From what I’ve seen the Russian soldiers are officers or full time ones, not conscripts. But that is even more damning to their military.

They’re not conscription soldiers.   Bit they are undertrained and underfunded and seem to have questionable battlefield leadership.

It was at a wargame tournament using little toy soldiers as game pieces, but I still saw it.

OK, I didn't really see it. But I heard talk.

except that for all of humanity, one country has ruled. some with allies, some without.  In the modern world that has been the US, prior to that the seas were held by various European factions, fighting all the time.  Now we have seen the greatest prosperity and peace time in Europe that has been seen in 3-4 lifetimes.  I have very little issue with NATO or the US role in NATO. Yes improvements can be made, but we are likely to avoid WW3 simply because the US is the world leader.  We should stay that way for as long as we can, and we should strengthen NATO as much as we can.  Nationalism is very dangerous, it opens up an infinite number of pathways to conflict, where coalitions, allies, NATO, free trade and other aspects of Globalism protect us.  yes Globalism has harmed Germany, but they FAFO with Russia they get cold winters.  Pick better global partners, we've been telling you that.  Nationalism is NOT the answer, in fact it's what has caused this invasion to begin with.

Sorry was on a plane all day. I take your point and can appreciate the idealism. When you find yourself in a globalist dynamic so tightly coupled that you can’t respond to a war criminal or help or at least slow down the slaughter of innocents, then what earthly good are you, really?

The fact that most European countries are sitting around “like, well, um, I mean I would of course, but we can’t tank our economy…maybe if we can still buy Russian _____, then we can sanction everything else?” shows you that their level of global interconnectivity is irresponsible. If you can’t weather a few fiscal quarters without your JIT global imports, that’s a failure— and America is no exception. IMO, It’s akin to being the provider of your family and not having a 6 month savings of expenses for emergencies— it’s irresponsible leadership.
