He does not care what it is. This has always been a mystery to me, maybe you can clear it up. It's ok if Russia launches missiles from hundreds of kilometres inside Russia, has air force bases there so Russian warplanes can attack every city in Ukraine it likes from the air, but Ukraine is not allowed to use the weapons it has to attack those places in Russia where the attacks come from? Please explain. Edited 4 hours ago by Presto 1 1 2

Presto Posted 4 hours ago Posted 4 hours ago (edited) 1 hour ago, tmd5855 said: You say revisionist as if what I wrote is not true. Putin wanted to join NATO showing that after the dissolution of the Warsaw Pact that NATO should evolve into a type of EU where armed forces could reduce lowering tension Worked with Ukrainians and Russians when working offshore, not much between them, the problem is money and power. The ordinary guys like those guys I worked with never really get the spoils, but, are expected to shed their blood so the instigators get their spoils. 2nd Iraq war and the fall of Saddam, who benefitted, not the average Iraqi or the region, who benefitted. Libya and the deposing of Gaddafi did his removal usher in stability for the region and prosperity, who benefitted. Departure from Afghanistan following the loss of thousands of sons and fathers, when Russia left the regime they left lasted 8 years........ The Biden installed regime were it 8 hours or minutes. Who benefitted. Any country that joins NATO has to standardise their armed forces with NATO compatible equipment. Who benefits?? Interesting, but a completely different discussion. Russia uses the narrative that it felt threatened by even the possibility of Ukraine becoming a NATO member. It also uses the narrative that it invaded Ukraine (going to Kiev, remember) to rid Ukraine of the fascists. All bogus of course. Putin's real aim was and is, to revive the old Russian empire, Russia's greatness. And secure himself a place in the history books as the greatest Russian tsar ever. He's not very successful so far. But if he succeeds in Ukraine, next will be Moldova / Transnistria. Edited 4 hours ago by Presto 2

So anyone who comments on the situation and says that Russia is winning is a Putin supporter. It's nothing to do with supporting one side or the other. It's the fact's happening on the ground. Since 2022 Russia has taken>100,000km2. This is simply a fact. Go look at some war maps. Saying that the ATACMS will have little affect on how the war's progressing has nothing to do with being a Putin supporter. It's a fact. Defining who is winning is open to various interpretations. Yes they have taken 100,000km2 of territory. Most of whose cities are evacuated, infrastructure rubbled and farmlands laid waste. They have Crimea - perhaps the original "Causus Belli" - Sevastopol as a base for their Black Sea Fleet; but much of that Black Sea Fleet is at the bottom of the Black Sea. The peninsulas communications are dependent on one bridge, which Ukraine has demonstrated it can cut when it wants. The much vaunted Russian Army, touted as superior to NATO and almost on a par with the US is trashed, and they have paid an enormous price in casualties, ever more difficult to replace. They failed to contain the Ukrainian move into Kirsk, and are relying on hiring in troops from North Korea to defend Mother Russia! Their economy is boogered. Ukraine, battered, is still standing, still fighting and still hurting Russia, and shows no sign of failing. Ukraine's closest political and geographical allies, are showing greatly increased determination to stand up to Russia, are doing so through the auspices of a somewhat reinvigorated NATO alliance, which is waking up to the fact that it is probably going to have to manage without the US. The US military may well rapidly lose potency under the inspired leadership of a Fox News presenter, and with large swathes of it's command structure possibly facing dismissal or Courts Martial! Certainly no-one is going to rely on them! So when you are considering winning and losing, you need to consider more than battle maps. Edited 2 hours ago by herfiehandbag 1 1 1

Your messiah Biden and those controlling the decomposing mess of his rotten brain are more concerned about the grift and keeping it alive, funding the war machine rather than stopping the war, engaging in peace talks to end the carnage and saving lives. Why else do they refuse peace talks but squander your tax dollars to compensate the grifter Zelenskyy! Trump is on track to sort this, putin and his BRICS colleagues are laughing at the stupid American war machine responsible for a million or more casualties. It's over when Trump says so.

Jingthing Posted 2 hours ago Posted 2 hours ago Just stop listening to Putin and also his western useful (fill in the blank) who repeat his endless lies and fall for his completely transparent nuclear bluffs. Some of the western repeaters are just ill informed and others are explicitly trying to help Putin win and Ukraine lose. Unfortunately, the majority of the maga/Trump cult fall into the later horrible category. World War 3? Caving to Putin is the move that makes it more likely emboldening him for further actions and also China. 1

Certainly no-one is going to rely on them! So when you are considering winning and losing, you need to consider more than battle maps. "Most of whose cities are evacuated, infrastructure rubbled and farmlands laid waste." This happens in wars if you haven't noticed. "much of that Black Sea Fleet is at the bottom of the Black Sea." Name the vessels sunk and how much of the fleet remains. "The peninsulas communications are dependent on one bridge, which Ukraine has demonstrated it can cut when it wants." The Kerch bridge is very tactical indeed. IMO if it's downed it want make that much of a difference. "The much vaunted Russian Army, touted as superior to NATO and almost on a par with the US" Rubbish. The Russian armed forces are nowhere close to the US, and NATO has some damn fine weapon systems, and for now US military backing and financial support. "relying on hiring in troops from North Korea to defend Mother Russia!" 10,000 questionably trained North Koreans that probably don't speak Russian ain't what I'd define as reliance. "Ukraine, battered, is still standing, still fighting and still hurting Russia, and shows no sign of failing." Agree except for the last bit. Personnel is a problem, weapons are a problem and it's Russia advancing into Ukraine not Ukraine pushing back. "NATO alliance, which is waking up to the fact that it is probably going to have to manage without the US." Agree. "The US military may well rapidly lose potency under the inspired leadership of a Fox News presenter, and with large swathes of it's command structure possibly facing dismissal or Courts Martial! Certainly no-one is going to rely on them!" Disagree. There's going to be a big shake up in the military from the Trump side you can bet your bottom dollar on that. "So when you are considering winning and losing, you need to consider more than battle maps." Although battle maps are not all the same and open to bias they are still a valuable tool for seeing how the battlefield is moving which gives an indication of the direction of the war. I'm guessing you haven't looked at a single one. I challenge anyone to demonstrate that this post shows any bias. Expecting the childish emojis but no rational and well argued response. 1

You may show no particular bias, I am not really interested in the domestic US political positions, but you misunderstood, or at best seemed confused and contradictory over several of my points; in particular the vulnerability of the Crimean Peninsula, if it is to have any bearing on the future of the war, relying on one bridge. I also think that you underestimate the effect upon the efficacy of the US Military if afflicted with the sort of "big shake up in the military from the Trump side" on which apparently I can bet my bottom dollar. And yes, the significance of maps. I can, read and understand, the implications of battle maps, and have a fair amount of professional training and experience of so doing. That is what frames my arguments. Edited 36 minutes ago by herfiehandbag 1

Obviously this is no slight on the troops but the idiots who planned it and the idiot who signed off on it. "I can, read and understand, the implications of battle maps, and have a fair amount of professional training and experience of so doing." What battle maps are you looking at? If you are actually looking at battle maps (please mention them) then it's all there to see. Russia is pushing further and further west. There's absolutely no denying this although as I have said before very slowly. Edited 10 minutes ago by dinsdale
