In case you missed it, those were all transcribed remarks by the host on War in Ukraine - see the line: “••denotes transcribed dialogue” at the top - reading is hard when English is your second language, obviously.

Not even a good try. you trolls are really failing down on the job - maybe the FSB will have to pay you a personal visit and give you some pointers - don’t worry, the bruises won’t show online.

Again, do you even read the text that you cut and paste?

I certainly did not think that you had the ability or knowledge to write anything that made any sort of sense. I am curious what your point was if you object to what you cut and pasted. As far as your threats to me of physical harm... they are as meaningless as all the rest of the tripe that you do not cut and paste.

Just craw back into the slime pit you crawled out of, dirty Ruzzian.

Hey, I think your phone is ringing... did you just order an iPhone for $1100 on your Amazon account?

Again, did you read the following before posting it?

••Ukraine volunteer hospital statistics show 99% of wounded due to artillery and mortar fire, while only 1% due to small arms fire. Another data point showing this is an artillery war. In this way, this conflict is very similar to WWI and WWII, and is totally different from all wars that followed, with the possible exception of the Korean War.

••The training the ZSU troops get is, in a way, irrelevant as it is focused on using small arms and preparing for low intensity conflict. How to survive artillery fire not taught to ZSU troops nor is survival in an intense conflict.

••Russia gets $87bbl for exported oil. This is up from $73bbl last month. The whole oil embargo is backfiring, placing the entire burden back on the West. (Edit: this does play into the US war on fossil fuels, EV push, the Green New Deal, and on the deliberate destruction of the US economy in general.)

Russia exports crude to India, India refines the crude into gas and diesel, then exports those produces to Europe and the US - essentially killing those country's own refineries and chemical complexes. Other countries cannot compete against the cheap Russian oil and labor prices of India.

••Natural Gas Russia is cutting NG by 1/3rd now and 1/3rd later. All of Germany heavily depends on Russian NG. (Edit: cutting NG to Europe is essentially blackmail. Russia is winning the war by using Europe's dependence of its NG against it.)

This adds to the lowering support by European governments of the war and of Ukraine government. Meeting on 06/15/22 of military donors and supporters of Ukraine gave only 18 more M-777s - in a prior meeting, they gave 90-108 M-777s.

Europe is just giving lip service to Ukraine support - message to Ukraine leadership: find peace and end war. Prime Ministers of Germany, France and Italy coming to Ukraine 06/16/22 to force Zel to settle on Russian terms so things go back to normal - which they will not; this is a desperation move because there is no Plan B.”

I could expand this list of why you and your war porn loving pals are likely to be disappointed in the eventual outcome, but who really cares... it's none of our business in the first place. And its not going to end while the corrupt Ukrainian regime stops getting billions of dollars to spend in retirement. And its not going to stop while the Russians are making two or three times what they were last year from their exports of oil, gas, fertilizer and fuel. But it is hard to get this across to someone who acts like he is a sulking baby.

New $1B U.S. Aid Includes Harpoon Missiles, More Precision Rockets For Ukraine
U.S. officials: Ukrainians are ‘top-notch’ gunners who are putting NATO-donated artillery to good use against superior Russian firepower

Excerpt:
The new aid package includes a presidential drawdown - the 12th since August 2021 - of security assistance valued at up to $350 million, as well as $650 million in Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative (USAI) funds.

Included in the drawdown is:
18 155mm Howitzers;
36,000 rounds of 155mm ammunition;
18 Tactical Vehicles to tow 155mm Howitzers;
Additional ammunition for High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS);
Four Tactical Vehicles to recover equipment;
Spare parts and other equipment.

USAI funding includes "near-term priority capabilities to defend against Russian aggression":
Two Harpoon coastal defense systems;
Thousands of secure radios;
Thousands of Night Vision devices, thermal sights, and other optics;
Funding for training, maintenance, sustainment, transportation, and administrative costs.

The two U.S. RGM-84 Harpoon systems will join an unspecified number of the anti-ship missiles and two shore-based launchers Denmark donated to Ukraine in May. Austin did not say how many missiles, which variants or what type of launchers will be sent to Ukraine, but did say that a "system" includes munitions, a launcher, and a trained crew to operate it. Bloomberg reporter Anthony Capaccio tweeted that the package includes two vehicle-based launchers but no missiles.

Those precision munitions are most effective when augmented with conventional artillery like the M777 towed howitzer, which the U.S. and its allies are eager to furnish the Ukrainian Army. Canada, on June 15, promised 10 replacement barrels for M777 howitzers.

A need for new barrels for howitzers already in the fight could indicate that barrels are wearing out or there are concerns that they might through heavy use dueling Russian artillery in the east. So far, about 420 Ukrainian troops have been trained by U.S. and allied troops to operate the M777, Milley said. Another 300 have been trained on the M109 self-propelled howitzer, he said.

“Coca-Cola to leave Russian market.

The company said in a statement it is depleting its stock in the country and will stop the production and sale of Coca-Cola or other brands of the company in Russia.”

“Canada, on June 15, promised 10 replacement barrels for M777 howitzers”

Read the barrels need to be replaced after firing a certain number of artillery rounds.

“The barrel is designed for a lifespan of 2,650 firings.”

That might be a few weeks, at best, in this artillery war.

Jezz - there goes a couple of days worth of shells and rockets.
