That blockade is a fascinating target. The Ukes have sunk one ship. Let's hope for the rest.

If Turkey is willing to play. I thought an American blockade just waiting outside of the Bosphorus and Dardanelles Straits would be a choke point for resupply of Russian forces. They don't get in or out.

Hard to take that in.
Its stupid. Why piss off your enemy to the max where they have nothing to live for but killing your ass if you are the invader.

Personally, I'd conquer my enemy's home front with as much kindness as possible but on the battlefield I'd be as ruthless as possible.

And bombs and bullets to kill kids then you have to run to China to resupply. The Russians must be incredibly stupid people. History shows that is not always the case.

They've been taking pot shots at civilians for weeks. They're already raping, shooting fleeing civilians, mining "humanitarian corridors" with butterfly mines, shooting tanks off at cars, homes, apartment buildings. It's how they do business.

I agree with you that it doesn't ultimately get you the gains you want as opposed to other tactics but they see it differently and it's been their MO for a long, long time. Terror and subjugation.

They've already intentionally bombed hospitals, maternity wards, cancer hospitals, etc. Shot up civilians. Trapped civilians in cities so they can shell neighborhoods, etc. Winning hearts and minds is clearly not part of their playbook. It's the exact opposite in fact. It's stupid to us. To Russia, it's just they way they wage war.

So they wouldn't have a way to launch our cruise missiles, and MRAP's would be basically useless. I already knew that but thanks for the response I guess.

Russians are just going to kill all the locals and then import their own after the war to rebuild it.

ETA, part of any settlement the Ukrainians make for a cease fire should include that whoever gave the order to hit the residences and hospitals in Mariupol should face an international war crimes tribunal.

Have you seen Russia's birth rate and pop figures. That pop is contracting fast. They are not going anywhere.

This tweet is basically from an Antifa affiliated group in Ukraine. They are Communists-Socialists.

Proceed with caution.

I guess the Ukes captured a R-330bmv electronic warfare vehicle from the Russians. That has huge potential if we're able to get it to a safe place and analyze it.

If I am Ukraine, I am not selling that thing for anything less than 29 Polish Mig-29s.
