thaibeachlovers Posted November 17, 2024 Posted November 17, 2024 I think this is more a BS display of grandstanding by the US ( and France/ UK if they are also joining in ), as given the cost of the things I can't see an unlimited supply heading to Ukraine. IMO it's just part of the preparation for negotiations, rather than any attempt to win the war for Ukraine. With the propaganda reversing from "never stop till Ukraine wins" to "let's negotiate" there are going to be a lot of boys dying to get facts on the ground before the fat lady sings. 3 1 1

The world will be so thankful to Ukraine and its allies and including many Russians that want peaceful prosperous lives without their boys & men being sent to slaughter. Make Ukraine strong & remember all those innocent good hearted men & women that died fighting for freedom. An ignorant comment. This is a move from a lame duck president war hawk that edges the world closer to WW III and can quite easily be seen as trying to railroad any chance Trump has of finding a peaceful solution. ATACM's will make a difference for sure but their simply won't be enough to stop and reverse Russia's gains. It will push back the Su-34's release point of their glide bombs in some areas which is now in Russian held territory but again there won't be enough of them and will certainly do nothing to stop drone attacks. As it is Russia is winning this protracted attritional war. The use of ATACMs into Russian territory will slow down the advance and will interrupt supply but won't stop it. The war needs to be stopped and this lame duck at the 11th hour of being in office has just thrown fuel onto the fire. 2 2 2 1 3 4
Popular Post anotherexpat4444 Posted November 18, 2024 Popular Post Posted November 18, 2024 Biden could have done this a year before . Trump peace plan is surrendering to Putin when it comes to Gaza Hamas is the aggressor but when it comes to Ukraine Trump want peace 1 1 3 2 1

Musk could very easily make a geo-fence. The missiles won't mean a thing if Trump isn't on board. Because Trump essentially controls their entire communications they will instantly know of any launch. 1 2 1

While he may not have used them so far, it's irrational to believe that he would not if Russia was losing. In that event, a lot more Ukrainians will die, and perhaps everyone the poster knows as well as himself. Russia had nukes when it started the war. Are you suggesting that Ukraine should just roll over because 'Russia has nukes'? That implies that you prefer that Ukrainians should be prisoners for the rest of their lives rather than fighting for their freedom. And then when Russia invades another country, and another ....... Sorry TBL but that is a sad, frightened response. 2 1 2 1 1 1 2

Yellowtail Posted November 18, 2024 Posted November 18, 2024 I hope that "Biden's" recent policy change brings a quick end to the war. It might be all that's needed to influence Putin that an agreement is in his best interest. I hope the issue is resolved before Trump takes office. 2

The most fortified area you speak of is under great pressure from a constant movement west by the Russians. I think you need to go and have a look at some of the war maps. Kursk has no real tactical value. This was a strategic gamble not a tactical move and it takes troops away from the eastern border which is slowly but surely moving west. 1 1
