Is the $20B that we are providing in 2025 independent from the $60B approved by Congress? Ukraine getting $40B in aid in 2025 is huge and means that it won't have an ammunition shortage like it did in the beginning of 2024.

Russia is going to do jack and shit about its veterans and everyone knows it.

There will have to be regime change, opening of oil trade and new progressive leadership for any of the medical treatments that article says are “required” to happen. Europe would have to buy in to help for sure.
If there was regime change I could see that happening but only secondarily to assistance to Ukraine.

Fat. Fucking. Chance.

There’s going to be something that looks more like Weimar era Germany in its place eventually. A broken country full of broken people.

They are getting Dutch and Danish F-16s. The training coalition was announced last July. 
 

A year to get an F-16 program going is warp speed in peacetime, TBH.

Yep. Plus they had to train ground crews, and they had to get the equipment, documentation, and instruments switched over to the Ukrainian language.

One of F-16’s saving graces is that it’s a fairly simple one-engine jet, and there are decades of experience in training foreign pilots.

I wondered about the cumulative impact of those refinery strike videos we see. Stumbled upon an estimate.

Ukrainian strikes with various types of weapons have had a significant impact on the Russian economy, notably reducing oil refining by 17%. NATO expects these strikes to continue.

Source: European Pravda with reference to a high-ranking NATO official at the Alliance summit in Washington

Quote: "We do see that Ukrainian strikes on Russian territory are impacting the Russian economy, oil refining and Russian energy exports."

Details: According to the official, Ukrainian strikes with various types of weapons are capable of reaching deep into Russian territory and are significantly affecting the Russian economy. 

The impact is so substantial that Russia has imposed internal restrictions on petrol exports and other measures. 

The official said Russian oil refining volume has decreased by about 17% and it is anticipated that further impacts on the Russian economy will continue as Ukraine employs various types of weapons.

They may tolerate it for now, but it will erode some confidence and make it a little harder for Putin to recruit out of the larger cities, especially as they suffer more. And we will see how they do in the winter if Russia is rationing electricity and gas while he’s pumping sunshine.

Russians will tolerate a lot, until they don’t. Those of us who are Gen Xers and older got to witness one Russian breakup over a lot less.

jfc - ruzzians trying to kill the CEO of Rheinmetall

https://cnn.it/46hhKxP 

Quote

 

US intelligence discovered earlier this year that the Russian government planned to assassinate the chief executive of a powerful German arms manufacturer that has been producing artillery shells and military vehicles for Ukraine, according to five US and western officials familiar with the episode.

The plot was one of a series of Russian plans to assassinate defense industry executives across Europe who were supporting Ukraine’s war effort, these sources said. The plan to kill Armin Papperger, a white-haired goliath who has led the German manufacturing charge in support of Kyiv, was the most mature.

When the Americans learned of the effort, they informed Germany, whose security services were then able to protect Papperger and foil the plot. A high-level German government official confirmed that Berlin was warned about the plot by the US.

For more than six months, Russia has been carrying out a sabotage campaign across Europe, largely by proxy. It has recruited local amateurs for everything from arson attacks on warehouses linked to arms for Ukraine to petty acts of vandalism — all designed to stymie the flow of weapons from the West to Ukraine and blunt public support for Kyiv.

But the intelligence suggesting that Russia was willing to assassinate private citizens underlined to Western officials just how far Moscow was willing to go in a parallel shadow war it is waging across the west.

Papperger was an obvious target: His company, Rheinmetall, is the largest and most successful German manufacturer of the vital 155mm artillery shells that have become the make-or-break weapon in Ukraine’s grinding war of attrition. The company is opening an armored vehicle plant inside of Ukraine in the coming weeks, an effort that one source familiar with the intelligence said was deeply concerning to Russia. After a series of gains earlier this year, Moscow’s war effort has once again stalled amid redoubled Ukrainian defenses and punishing losses in personnel.

Honestly--the CIA is doing yeoman's work here in preventing World War III.  Between foiling this and the Russian plot earlier this month to attack American facilities in Europe, they're preventing attacks that would very likely compel the United States and its allies to go to war against Russia.

It's kind of a replay of the underappreciated documentary The Final Countdown.  Except this time, we're actively preventing the attack on Pearl Harbor rather than allowing it to happen out of some misplaced concern about the "timeline."

It would seem to me that the CEO of one of the largest arms manufacturers in the world would probably have a security detail comparable to the secret service. If they didn’t have one before, I’d imagine they all do now.
