Russia - terrorist state!
“I have a war in my country. They’re hitting my cities, my hospitals, my kindergartens, my schools. They killed a lot of civilians, a lot of civilians. They’re an army of rapists, murderers and looters. What’s the next level of escalation?”
Ukraine Defense Minister
Olekssi Reznikov
…don’t listen to what Putin will say, watch what Putin does!

PRAYER OF RUSLANYA FOR UKRAINIANS
Today I want to pray and thank the Lord for keeping Ukraine!
Thank you Lord for giving us the strength to face all the challenges boldly. We will stand! We can make it !
God! Please give me a special grace.
So that nothing would scare us. There’s nothing stopping us!
To boldly go forward and choose light for ourselves and for the whole world!
Send extraordinary energy to our hearts, which will warm us despite the darkness around and give us Light... which will give us the opportunity to find the strength to hold on, smile and... live on, help each other stand. AMEN
For years, even after the fall of the USSR, Russian weapons relied on Ukrainian sources for critical components and expertise. The inability of Russia alone to design and produce new weapons is now painfully evident. Some believe that reacquiring Ukraine’s arms industry was one of Putin’s reasons for invading Ukraine.
LOL. Ukrainian arms industry is defunct for 9 years after it lost paying customers. Now the remnants are partially destroyed on top of that.
Russia did a pincer on Bakhmut but left an escape corridor so they can pick the Ukrainians off in open non-fortified areas as they flee. They are shelling Bakhmut as Russians shell. Barrage after barrage.
You’re like a concert pianist who can only play one note.

WaPo Says Kiev May Retreat From Bakhmut. The Russians control all the roads in but one. The route out to the West. Looks to me like they are leaving an open fire exit route.
PS, think which alphabet agency Wapo is a mouthpiece for.

May I find favor with you and play well.
“In the Soviet army three tanks made a platoon, three platoons and one company commander’s tank made a company, and three companies and one battalion commander’s tank made a battalion.”
Thank you for your comment.
“WaPo Says Kiev May Retreat From Bakhmut. The Russians control all the roads in but one. The route out to the West. Looks to me like they are leaving an open fire exit route.”
I believe one of the maxims of Sun Tzu is “leave an opening for a surrounded enemy army, never press a desperate enemy”.

Until recently, much of Russia’s arms exports relied on Ukraine’s participation and assistance in production. In effect, Ukraine became a subcontractor to Russia’s arms industry. Of course, that relationship is done, and Russia’s arms sales are now in collapse due to sanctions, the lack of manufacturing capacity, and the weak performance of Russian weapons in the attack on Ukraine. India, Russia’s largest arms purchaser, is now buying elsewhere and looking to manufacture domestically.
Your propaganda based on wishful thinking is not very relevant on top of it.
The cooperation ended 9 years ago. I can’t think of any system where the Ukrainian components weren’t replaced.
As for the performance of the weapons the people procuring weapons aren’t interested in popular propaganda as pushed by Daily Mail.
If anything, the war proved that systems like Javelin are snake oil, killing 100 more their operators than they hit tanks, HARM missiles are more than useless against mobile air defenses, and NASAMS are useless against cruise missiles.
I won’t even talk about M113s which fail to start in cold weather and froze to the ground, because it is not a recent technology.
There is a reason why F-16s and Abrams aren’t there, becsuse they’d make a PR disaster.
Nothing like that was discovered about Russian weapons which mostly work as advertised.
I am so glad to hear that, due to supposed poor performance, you are not concerned at the inflow of US and NATO weapons into Ukraine. Surely then, Russia has no cause for complaint. Bring on the Patriot missile batteries, Predator drones with Hellfire missiles, longer range HIMARS, the Challenger, Leopard, and Abrams tanks, the M1 Bradley and Marder IFVs, and anything else that the Ukrainians want from the US and NATO. Are we in agreement, I hope?
How is this point relevant to the previous exchange? Would you mind to reasonably refute my points? All of the above are not game changers, except long range missiles, but if this decision is going to be taken there will be a response resulting in severe humiliation for the US. Pentagon knows it and won’t escalate.
ДСНС України -State Emergency Service of Ukraine
