I think they will let him do what he wants. (in the long run)

Europe? he controls the heat and electricity.
North America? we have a multitude of our own problems.
South America? yeah right
Africa? same.
Australia? They cant even go outside.
Asia? China is rooting for Russia so it can invade Taiwan.
Everyone else? see the United Nations.

Agree 100%. Not only a plethora of ATGMs coming in but jets as well. Their supply lines are taking a beating and it’s only going to get worse for the invaders.

Ooooooohhhh.....10K anti-tank missiles.....

How are they going to get them into the Ukranian’s hands?!?

They don’t do them any good in Germany and Sweden, do they?

Don’t get me wrong, I want the Ukrainians to win...

So let me spell it to you in case you don’t get it:

TEN THOUSAND ANTI-TANK MISSILES IN GERMANY AND SWEDEN DO NOTHING FOR THE UKRAINIAN MILITARY IN UKRAINE.

Get just 500 of those missiles into Ukrainian Military hands, then let’s talk...

They are getting their charred asses handed to them.

Seriously? That's good news! Where can I find verification of that? Or are you just talking out of your ass?

Ukraine received fighter jets tonight from another European country. Mig jets most likely. Their pilots are trained to fly them. I believe the German gear is arriving tomorrow. I’m not sure about the other stuff.

And also let me provide you with a sorely needed math lesson. America and Europe have an economy 25 times that of Russia. I said TWENTY-FIVE TIMES that of Russia. Russia has no high tech industries, few modern factories, few skilled laborers, and little money to spend keeping a “war machine” goin.

Combined with the fact that these boys don’t wanna die for Pooty, it is he who is doomed.

He may be assassinated by an oligarch or someone in his inner circle. Either way, Putism is done.

Your boy Pooty has lost more than his mind.

Hope it’s true but until they are in Ukrainian hands they might as well be on Mars.....

As usual, our European allies are late to the game......

Sleepy Joe never showed up.....talk about hope as a strategy...Let’s go, Brandon!

Not too difficult to find videos of burnt Russian convoys with their dead laying all over the place.
Quite a few videos of drone strikes taking out vehicles as well.
Countless videos of burnt out tanks, APCs, and support vehicles.

At least they have come to the game. Never thought I would see the day where Sweden and Switzerland would actually take a side in this conflict.

My provisional assessment (what other kind could I have?) is that this report is likely a propaganda slur against an opponent leader. Just more smoke and fog from the war machines.

But I have been wrong before.

If it is true report, it is extremely alarming. Chemotherapy and associated chronic steroid treatments cause serious lapses in judgement. If we are not dealing with a rational opponent, we will need to greatly modify our campaigns.

In particular, we had better have some plans to prevent a "Sampson Option" or the Russian perception that such actions would be necessary.

That could mean toning down the more belligerent propaganda shows. It could mean lax enforcement of "sanctions", and no direct efforts against specific Russian persons. And it could mean quiet provisions of substantial weapons and ammunition and sanctuary to the Ukraine fighters.

Our problem is that we have an obviously senile figurehead as our President and the people truly making the policy decisions may not be rational players themselves, or worse yet may be deliberately causing us to fail.

Caveat: I am not particularly fond of direct American intervention in what is a European conflict. The Europeans made their bed and must sleep in it. No American soldiers should be fighting over there. And frankly, I do not believe we have competent military or political leadership to prevail in a direct peer-conflict. That would require a completely new government, and we are out of time.

We need to keep things as low-key as we can for as long as we can.

You mean completely un-varified BS. Most of it has already been shown to be be old, unrelated footage. Not to mention the CGI generated garbage. The fog of war has been exploited and we are being lied to. Same as it ever was.

Thank you for the lesson but didn’t learn anything new....so please save yourself further embarrassment and just stop your simplistic explanations of world events now.....

My hope is the Ukrainians win but as I stated before, hope isn’t a strategy.

BTW, my pick for the last Superbowl was the Cincinnati Bengals....Told ya’, hope isn’t a strategy...

You’d be right. He’s not failing. Likely he’s just waiting for his Spesznas guys to finish taking out that list of cabal leaders he wants gone. They don’t need tanks in the square to do the covert stuff our spec ops do. The MSM has lost their mind over this.

Putin is radioactive. If you care about Trump and MAGA you will put him in the rear view mirror ASAP.

Russia will be humiliated tomorrow at the UN. The vote will be about 185-3. Do you really want Trump and MAGA on the 3 side? I don’t. I don’t think you do either.

Will you have sources of such video evidence posted out here in the foreseeable future?

You’d probably just claim they’re fake. Research for yourself bud.
