If only Steiner would launch his attack, the Ukrainian would crush the Russian once and for all!

The West has been sending Ukraine a lot of weapons - SAM’s and ATGM’s - that are great at stopping an enemy offensive. But they have much more limited value for offensive operations. For that, you need more aircraft, and more armored vehicles. Otherwise, your counterattacks/advances are basically limited to foot speed, and it’s thought to get the enemy off balance that way.

Maybe he should ask Putin for a return of the RT-23 missiles they gave up. They can get them back by rail.

Yeah, and if a frog had wings........

If you couldn’t stave off an invasion it is because you weren’t supporting a viable military — kinda like what the US is doing.

He’s saying “ we need more weapons,” but that’s the code word for “send us more money.” Biden’s handlers, and the moron Democrats and Republicans in Congress will oblige.

Maybe they should consider terms?

Exactly

It piano gig wasn’t real, but was certainly inferred.

Zelensky has been in acting, show business, and comedy since shortly after getting his law degree from Ukraine’s National Economic University.

As everyone on FR probably knows, he also won Ukraine’s “Dancing with the Stars” in 2006.

Also did the official “voice over” for “Paddington” and “Paddington 2”

There were plenty of troops in Bataan. Most of them of the Philippine Army, which started out untrained and disorganized but by the surrender were quite proficient. The real problem is that they ran out of food and were consequently starving and sick.

He believed the USA would pull his chestnuts out of the fire. He thought all that money he paid Hunter and others would buy him some protection—He thought wrong. Should have made a deal with Putin. Now Putin also overstepped his invasion. He under rated Ukraine ability to fight and paid a high price. He should have limited the invasion to a “small incursion” as Biden directed him. This is a mess and we should stay out—Is it worth all the problems of a wider war? If we send in the troops and enforce a “No Fly Zone” on our own would that work? Could we fly out of German bases—if NATO was involved? Need a “False Flag” event to get NATO to help in our WW III march on Moscow.

I would like to see a break-down of all the weapons, ammunition and equipment Ukraine has actually received from all sources, since February 24th.

“If we had access to all the weapons we need, comparable to the weapons used by the Russian Federation, we would have already ended this war,” ——Zelensky

Baloney - he knew Ukraine didn’t have the military, the armamnet nor the money to stand a war with Russia - he also knew he was going to try and initiate a war between
Nato/Us and Russia ...it was his agenda from the get go.

There are weapons floating around everywhere in Ukraine.

I would avoid air travel for years in the Euro-peeing Union.

He thought that he was dealing with an “honest politician”.... A politician who stays bought. RATs are as treacherous as they come and throw each other under the bus with great enthusiasm.

Some very interesting videos at that site. Good to get another side of this conflict.

26th Cavalry, Philippine Scouts and Philippine Constabulary were high performing troops. The remaining while many showed individual courage and skill never really were very successful as units. They likely correspond to the Ukies’ territorials and recent volunteers.

Zelensky has pleaded for a NO FLY zone provided by NATO aircraft. I wish not NATO to have direct engagement with Russia. “That could get out of hand” and lead to WWIII. WWIII is not good.

As Russia built up on the borders, if we had given the Ukraine the Jets they needed (Migs they know how to fly them) and we as in NATO had them and Patriot missiles a Russian bomber or fighter would have died over the Ukraine. This war would not have happened. Russia did not do this when Trump was in office. Putin saw our weakness in the withdrawal from Afghanistan and thought, “what the hell” it is time to take the Ukraine.

THIS WAR IS ALL ON JOE BIDEN!
