We should have seeded Ukraine with anti armor weapons months prior. Watching massive convoys cross the southern portion completely unimpeded and with no real security measures visible. Just driving through like they own the place. I guess they do.

Has there been any credible reports yet of partisan activity?

You'll be happy to know Britain delivered thousands of NLAW anti tank weapons a month ago. Along with 30 paratroopers as trainers. Ukraine has been asking for these for years, calling them a game changer.

Powerful, easy to use, by a single soldier.

Saw that earlier. F'ing awesome. Long ago I was a part time SMAW gunner which is basically a flintlock to the NLAWs. Love seeing this tech evolve. Perfect compliment to the Javelins.

We should be flooding the Ukraine with armaments. Have trains pouring over the Polish border nonstop 24/7, daring Putin to do something about it. Just like these commie pigs did to us in N. Vietnam.

I'd have to think if they start shelling the city indiscriminately without giving the population time to evacuate that's grounds for UN military involvement.

Of course our feckless leaders won't do it though.


The rest of the world has decided to sacrifice Ukraine in the hopes that it will satisfy Putin rather than risk getting involved. Think about that.


God I hate agree with Pelosi but this screams Sudetenland if you are a student of WWII


Agreed

This has been his goal from the beginning as Putin has reached insanity mode. He wants the USSR/Russian Empire back in full plus the buffer states. The parallel to 1930s regarding just the land aspect is way too similar.

Like Finland in the Winter War, I think Ukraine will give Russia more than they realized. If it's bad enough, maybe the Russian people will rise up against Putin.

Drudge literally has a picture combo of Hitler/Putin at the top.

It's like he found out he had a year to live and just said eff it.

Sounds like the Russians are feeling cocky. Guarantee demilitarized Ukraine, won't end hostilities, Zelensky likely a dead man. I hope they get another Afghanistan x1000.

The url in the link you posted is a base 64 string instead of a normal url. I'm not sure why that is happening.

You're right. We are nowadays so cynical we can't make sense of heroics anymore

Pic may be old but the president is there in his capital with his army while spetsnaz is hunting him...

Gonna find out how good the Russians are at guerrilla warfare…

The US was not very good at it at all going into Afghanistan and Iraq and had to learn on the fly…

The Russians will lose hundreds or thousands in Urban fighting for a week or so, but in the end Kiev and the government will fall.

I think the Russians longer term plan is to have East and West Ukraine fight a guerrilla war against each other

Why is there not 500 people running around in that area (Kyiv) with stinger missiles. It seems like we could've at least given them enough where that would be possible and if we didn't, that pisses me off. They could rain hell onto all these airborne troops Russia seems to like to use to capture these different targets.

Edit: not sure how I hit that emoji.

I think that video is from yesterday. From what I recall, most of the Ruskies forces were taken out and that airport is back in Uke hands.

All they have to do is zero a few mortars on the runway and have a few spotters and wait.

It was confirmed by the Ukraine Prime Minister that it fell again this morning a couple hours ago

Hopefully it's back in Ukraine's hands.

Staff needs to place a note on this thread.

A LOT of posters are popping in, dropping a few links/shots, making assumptions then leaving. I don't think they are trolling but trying to post info that has become dated. Many of us have been on this thread from OP forward.

It is... Ukes have taken back both airports. It was an update at the bottom of a page of an ongoing thread a few pages back in this thread.

Supposedly, Russia is now planning to take an airport further west because they keep getting kicked out of the airports in the more populated areas.
