The Ukrainian air defense within the past few days has admitted they haven’t shot down a single Kinzhal missile using Patriot missile defense so you can stuff your lies.

Wrong!

Ukraine has already successfully shot down several Kinzhals - the missile that Putin claimed was “unkillable”

lol

Even while being exceeding obsequious to the decaying Anglosphere, Rishi Sunak isn't dumb enough to invite a direct confrontation with Russia.

No wonder Medvedev is trolling him.

Those of you that are praying for Putin’s demise might want to read up on the law of unintended consequences.

“So, the relevant question you have to ask yourself is, if a PATRIOT can shoot down a ground launched ballistic missile quite effectively, one that is moving at hypersonic speeds, why would it not be able to shoot down an air launched ballistic missile”

Because we have a senile retard CIC and a bunch of fags running the “military”. Not to mention a SECDEF that has been MIA having his prostate milked.

Countries that illegally invade their neighbors, thinking it will be an easy conquest, might want to read up on the law of unintended consequences.

The Kinzhal is both crude and effective.

The beauty of the Kinzhal is it's crudity. The fact that it is nothing special is an asset. They are easy to make and cheap to use.

Shooting down one Kinzhal requires at least 2 Patriot interceptors so every Kinzhal launch is win for Russia and a loss for the United States. We burn down two of our limited stash of Patriots to try to destroy a trash missile in the defense of a low value trash target in the Ukraine that is not even worth the value of the Kinzhal.

Kind of like shooting down cheap ass Houthi drones with multi million buck American theater defense interceptors.

The entire goal of the Ukraine conflict was ignite a proxy war that would attrit the Russian military stocks.

It looks like the strategy is backfiring and we are the ones whose vital, hard to replace defense assets are being attrited here, not the Russians.

UK alone could probably flatten Russia in about 15 minutes, and everybody knows it


Of all the ill-informed things you have said, this stands out. You must not have any idea about the size and readiness of the UKs military.

Sad

Keep up with your bleating about RuZZZZia being just a gas station with nukes and shovels. A lot of “shovels” have been pounding the Ukraine into the mud lately. Only a retard would take the claims of British tabloids as truth.

Zeepers are the dumbest loudmouths to ever inflict themselves on humanity. Begone you bloodthirsty turd who is too cowardly to volunteer.

Tell Medevev to put down the bottle.

Tell your mother to unlock the basement door.

No, that would be a "Special military operation."

Journalists in the British media are the only ones that have more fantasies about Putin than you do. You're going to need doink replaced as much as you fantasy about him.

The Brits are bark and no bite. There puny, feckless military wouldn't last a month against the Russians.

If the Brits are stupid to deploy troops to Ukraine, they deserve everything the Russians will do to them.

Stupidity Is Rampant At Foreign Affairs When It Comes To Ukraine

Let me repeat for the learning disabled in the U.S. National Security community — Putin has two objectives. First, demilitarize Ukraine. That is taking place through attrition and, as an unexpected benefit, he also is demilitarizing NATO, who is unable to produce air defense missiles and artillery shells that Ukraine would need to mount a credible defense. Second, de-nazify Ukraine. Putin and his Generals are not going to stop until the filth of Nazi scum prevalent in Ukrainian ranks are wiped away. Real clear. Real simple. Don’t make this more complicated than it is.

This is the problem. The so-called foreign policy experts that populate think tanks and Congressional committees in Washington, DC do not know a damn thing about Russia. They are obsessed with a 1980s vision of Russia and are refusing to take a fresh look at Russia as a nation, as an industrial power and as a legitimate military force. These dummies do not realize that if Putin suddenly disappears that Russia is not going to crumple into a fetal position and beg for the West to love it. Ain’t going to happen. Russia understands one thing that the United States does not — it will defend the motherland at any cost. Russians are proud of their country and its history. It has rejected the legacy of the Soviet era and embraced Orthodox Christianity. The United States? Its borders are being flooded with a tsunami of migrants, its major cities are filled with homeless drug addicts and crime, its politicians are busy enriching themselves at the expense of their countrymen and the government is promoting and protecting sexual deviance.

Russians, unlike Americans, understand science and know that men cannot have babies and that women cannot grow a penis. It is this grasp on reality that gives Russia the confidence that it will prevail in preventing the West from turning Ukraine into Jeffrey Epstein land.

Iran, Russia, Communist North Korea, and Communist China, do share many of the common ideas and values you described that help keep them aligned with each other and at the world’s throats.

It might not be an act of war. However, if the UK did send a contingent of troops and some were killed or wounded, the UK would not have much in the way of grounds for complaints. about the casualties.

Well, maybe Putin would have avoided invading Ukraine if a righteous U.S. President in 2021, like a DJ Trump( had he been the POTUS then), said to Putin - Any Russian troop deployment in Urkaine would be a declaration of war.
