With the non-stop MSM stories about the heroic Ukrainian citizens, and I’m sure many are, what is being lost is the corruption, gangsterism, Nazism, murders and even genocide that has been going on in parts of that country.
“But Ukrainians have hated Russians for a long time, not so with Afghans.”
The Ukraine? Their history and geography does not lend itself to optimism in the present circumstances. Russia/USSR controlled them for centuries.
Roggio is no armchair academic. The reality of the sitaution is getting clearer and replacing confusion, fear, and hope.
Damn it.
I think they call it a soft launch. The missile is pushed out of the launcher then the engine kicks in. It makes the javelin much more user friendly. If you watch a video, it looks like something has gone wrong then the missile takes off toward the target.
This isn’t a Russian fail. It’s been 7 days. How long did it take France to fall to Germany?
Every major city is surrounded. In a few days, the media will drop their headlines just like Covid.
The war is over. The question is what kind of agreement does Putin extract and does Zelensky stay?
I think there will continue to be some street fighting along the way ......
Also about Russian Food supplies going short. Not a problem as they’re simply going into grocery stores and taking what they need. Saw a video of that today....and they weren’t carrying out baskets....just bags like you’d do shopping.
Russia's biggest weakness is their economy.They have a lot of weapons stockpiled from their USSR days, but they can't afford to replace major losses.
Try googling "Crimea gas deposits" and see what you find...

[I for whatever reason am unable to access the entire article on my IPAD, but I saw no reference to ‘Hertling.’
Now, years ago it became evident that Hertling was turned and despite his military credentials he is demonstrative that ribbons and bars are no hindrance to servants caving into the insanity of the Left.
It is a strange thing to behold, yet it is manifest before us.
I wonder why you mentioned him here. ]
All of the above.
I like your idea, but I think it may be the globalists forcing sanctions that are trying to push Russia under China’s control.
Absent the Globalist involvement, Putin got all of the help he needed from Biden, already.

Why didn’t Ukraine extract it?
2 stages. 2nd/main stage fires 20/30 yards out.
Safer for the shooter.
They remember the Russians starved millions of them in order to feed the industrial base in Russia. That can never be forgotten or forgiven.
Yeah let’s speculate for a moment let’s say that Putin wins in Ukraine and comes into possession of all these American Stinger missiles. Then let’s say Putin sends gorilla fighters up across the southern border armed with American Stinger missiles. The government won’t be able to do their big CSI thing and that’s about as bad as optics as you can get.
“Wonder how it will be solved.”
At the end of WWII they just moved Germans, Poles, and Ukrainians.
Putin would be stupid not to do it. There is nothing to lose in terms of sanctions anymore. You better hope that these stories are propaganda.
With a realistic perspective you are going to ruffle some feathers.
