But the stone age fighters of the Taliban countered these “advanced” western weapons with no problem and chased the Americans out?
“...all you are hearing in the Western mainstream media about the course of the conflict is the most absurd Baghdad Bob level propaganda imaginable...”
‘Russian Operations in Ukraine (August 4, 2022): featuring Mark Sleboda’

Oh snap, the peddlers of such ‘Baghdad Bob level propaganda’ should be utterly ashamed of themselves.
“It appears that Russia is finding it increasingly difficult to wage war in Ukraine.”
Not in Central Donbas. Seems that Ukraine moved a lot of armour from there to the South for the Million Man March and left Donbas unguarded. Not going well for the Neocons there.
ATACMS missiles will be unbearable burden for Russian army, - Zaluzhny advisor Rice,First rule of war/battle: Never underestimate the capabilities of your enemy.
Let them rain,
Earlier, at the Aspen Security Forum, US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan reiterated that the US wouldn’t provide Ukraine with ATACMs missiles. He explained that they could be used to attack the territory of Russia, which would lead to an even more significant escalation of the war.
Greedily desperate to ride the gravy train until the last Ukrainian able to pick up a rifle is dead face down in the mud.
And the Titanic was unsinkable too. Any time I see “absolute” statements, my first thought is “I wonder how long until that’s proven wrong”.
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
Someone is REALLY bad at doing propaganda.
The China virus plandsmic proved once and for all that everything the US feral government says is a lie and the truth is always the exact opposite.
So Ukraine is winning again this week? I get confused because news coverage on this is like political coverage, who’s winning depends on which news outlet you watch or read.
I’ll believe it when Russia declares victory and high tails it back across the border.
The expert explained that the Russian Army’s logistic support system requires centralized trains, which is due to the “palletized” type of logistics. This makes warehouses excellent targets for high-precision HIMARS and M777s, he noted.
—
Note: Russia does not use palletized logistics - its all done by hand. It takes 15 guys to load or unload 1 truck. Unloaded stuff is placed in random piles in haphazard fashion. People sort through the piles to find what they need and then pile that stuff on trucks to be unloaded in the same manner and fashion. Now, military trucks are in short supply and civilian trucks are being used.
Russian logistics are late 19th-early 20th century.
Administration to announce another billion dollars in Military support to the Ukraine on Monday (within a week of the last announcement for another half billion dollars worth). I have heard the terms “HIMARS” and “long range” mentioned.
Although numbers are not announced, I saw one analyst who estimated that the Ukraine might be getting as much as 10,000 rockets for the HIMARS by year’s end.
That would leave a mark.
CBS News Exposes Ukraine Weapons Scam: “30% Maybe Reaches Its Final Destination”

There is not one area in Ukraine where the Ukraine army has pushed the Russians out of territory they have occupied and held it against Russian counter attacks. Not one. The Russian feint towards Kiev in early March does not count. Western propaganda insists this was a tremendous Ukrainian victory. But Russia used that operation to fix Ukrainian forces around Kiev so that the Russian, Donetsk and Luhansk forces could mass for the offensive to retake the Donbas. And that is exactly what the Special Military Operation has been doing over the last five months.
The only “offense” we are seeing from Ukraine is the shelling of civilians in the Donbas. This does highlight one shortcoming of the Russian SMO–the lack of effective, comprehensive counter battery fire. It is worth noting that the areas being targeted by Ukraine are in the Western part of the Donbas occupied by Russia and its allied Republics (i.e., Donetsk and Luhansk). Killing a few civilians in cities in the Donbas with indiscriminate shelling–while horrific for the families who loose loved ones–does not win the war for Ukraine. In fact, it reinforces its image as a lawless violator of human rights. Still, it is up to Russia to put in place the necessary intelligence platforms required to quickly identify the source of the fires and destroy them.
Ukrainian artillery and HIMMARS will not stop Russia’s allied offensive and force a retreat. Neither will it force a stalemate. Russia has defacto air supremacy and has intact tank battalions and a plethora of artillery and missiles that it continues to rain down on Ukrainian forces.
