Nah, I always knew you were a jerk. I just wanted to point it out.
Have a rotten day.

I laugh at your ineffectual buffoonery.
There are lots of Russian submarines for them to rescue, starting with the Moskva.
Russian Offensive Campaign Assessment, April 20, 2024
https://www.understandingwar.org/backgrounder/russian-offensive-campaign-assessment-april-20-2024
Ukraine will likely be in a significantly improved operational position by June 2024 regardless of delays in the arrival of US security assistance to the frontline, and the Russian military command will likely consider significant changes to the large-scale offensive operation that it is expected to launch in June, although it may still proceed as planned.
Ukrainian forces will likely leverage sufficient US security assistance to blunt Russian offensive operations in June 2024, which Ukrainian Main Military Intelligence Directorate (GUR) Head Lieutenant General Kyrylo Budanov recently highlighted as the likely month that Russian forces will launch their expected large-scale summer offensive effort.
The Russian military has likely been assessing that Ukrainian forces would be unable to defend against current and future Russian offensive operations due to delays in or the permanent end of US military assistance. This assumption was likely an integral part of Russia’s operational planning for this summer.
Russian forces have been establishing operational- and strategic-level reserves to support their expected summer offensive effort, but likely have been doing so based on the assumption that even badly-trained and poorly-equipped Russian forces could make advances against Ukrainian forces that lack essential artillery and air defense munitions.
Ukraine is also addressing its own manpower challenges and will likely continue to conduct rotations to rest and replenish degraded units, although it will take time for these efforts to generate large-scale effects.
Ukrainian officials have previously indicated that Russian forces will likely continue to conduct offensive operations this summer focused on seizing the remainder of Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts but may also launch an offensive operation to seize Kharkiv City.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov notably signaled on April 19 Russia’s intent to seize Kharkiv City.
The Russian military command may have envisioned that simultaneous offensive efforts towards Kharkiv City and along the current frontline in eastern Ukraine would stretch and overwhelm poorly-provisioned and undermanned Ukrainian forces and allow Russian forces to achieve a major breakthrough in at least one sector of the frontline.
The Ukrainian forces with improving materiel and manpower supplies that will likely hold the frontline in June 2024 will undermine this operational intent of simultaneous Russian offensive operations across a wider front.
The Russian military command will likely have to consider if the intended areas and objectives of its summer offensive effort are now feasible and if the current means that Russian forces have been concentrating and preparing are sufficient to conduct planned offensive operations considering the expected resumption of US security assistance to Ukraine.
ISW offers no forecast of the decisions the Russians will make at this time.
I see you hate American patriots. Very telling!
lol, that is not what putin said in his “history” lesson to tucker and gives insight into his and their thinking
Poland did not agree to hitlers “reasonable” request for a corridor for Germany to their exclave, therefore according to Putin poland started ww2
Looking at current Russian designs, that makes perfect justification for his actions
Both sides can’t lose so root for Russia over Ukraine?
The Soviet Union sided with Hitler, because Hitler promised the Soviet Union half of Poland. Britain and France refused to give Poland to the Soviet Union, and that’s why Stalin went with Hitler.
It was personal with Stalin, since he was widely blamed for the “Miracle on the Vistula” in 1920.
ITS PARTY TIME!
Yes they can.
Can long range ATACMS destroy the crimea bridge?
Largest warhead is 472 lbs.
I hate Ukraine for their corruption and their money laundering for American politicians.
I hope they both lose.
You would no doubt feel differently if you had close family members exiled and buried in Siberia. That is the very real reality for millions who live as neighbors to Russia. But, fortunately, you are American and do not have to contemplate such tragedies. Appreciate how lucky you are instead of demeaning those Ukrainians who currently sacrifice so much lest the murderous and filthy Moscow Kremlin enslave their nation ever again.
Maybe I would. Maybe I wouldn't. I'll never know. I'm an American.
And I say this even though my grandpapa had to escape Ukraine and make it to America, during Stalin's roundup of the Kulaks and subsequent Holodomor.
But I am not him. I am an American. Therefore, I hate Ukraine for their corruption and their money laundering for American criminal politicians.
The short answer is yes. Remember the Antonovsky Bridge?
Here's some pics to refresh our memories.
The Antonovsky Bridge was eventually dropped using M31 rockets with 200 lb high-explosive warhead.
So, the real question is "How many ATACMs will it take to make the Kerch bridge unusable?"
Are ATACMs missiles accurate enough to punch holes in the Kerch railroad bridge?
Hopefully, we will know the answer in a couple of weeks.
