it looks like we need to give Ukraine the F-16s they want, but on the condition they use them to retaliate for the Houthi attacks first.
Russians aren’t Slavs. They are the offspring of Mongolian-Asian invaders.
Ukrainians defending their own borders, language and culture from another foreign invasion is “pointless”? Interesting. That’s exactly what Marxist Democrats say about us and America. Put your thinking cap on and riddle that one out. FRegards.
Pointless from who’s point of view?
I don’t think the people being invaded and fighting for their lives against being conquered forever see their resistance as pointless.
A NEW type of weapon? Turns people into liquid? /s
Ukraine confronts two deficits that cannot be remedied for at least one year — 1) lack of trained manpower and 2) lack of ammunition, air defense and reliable combat vehicles. Russia enjoys a clear tactical advantage on both counts.
Helmer succinctly describes Russia’s plan for the near term:
When the General Staff have been discussing with President Vladimir Putin the timing of the Russian offensive to force the Kiev regime into capitulation, it has been agreed, understood, and repeated that the strategic reserves of the Ukrainian forces should be destroyed first, together with the supply lines for the weapons and ammunition crossing the border from the US and the NATO allies.
This process, they also agreed, should take as long as required with least casualties on the Russian side, as determined by military intelligence. Also agreed and pre-conditional, there should be no repeat of the political intelligence failures of the Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) which precipitated the failed special forces operation known as the Battle of Antonov (Hostomel) Airport from February 24 to April 2, 2022.
Where’s Gerasimov?
I grew up watching “I Led 3 Lives,” so I knew what “liquidated” meant as a child.
