But, it makes no difference how much false hope we give the Ukrainian or how many die so long as our political establishment can spending and laundering money in Ukraine and feeding the defense industry.
“It’s time to put up or shut up — How much do you want to bet this “offensive” will fail...miserably?”
I want a piece of this action.
Here’s my wager: I say Ukraine forces Russia to quit Kherson by September 30th. If they do then you donate $100 to Free Republic.
If they don’t then I donate $100 to Free Republic.
Is it a bet?
Here’s what the Russians have to say:
“When the Khokhol is not cut for a very long time, he himself rushes to the knife.
Brief description of today’s Ukrainian counteroffensive.
Ukraine has suffered major casualties today”
I suspect this is far closer to the truth than the MI6/Zelensky spin on the day’s events. Attacking across the steppe? Likely suicidal..a meal for artillery and rockets. I will see what the Military Summary Channel has to say.
And will the stupid posts about bridges never end? The UFA hasn’t shown the fire power to do more than damage roadways, which are easily fixed since the Russians don’t have to do bogus environmental studies, engage in bidding, deal with unions, etc. Their engineers just show up and fix stuff. Structural damage would be more serious, but there’s no evidence that any has occurred, and HIMARS alone can’t do it. They aren’t designed for it...just a 23.5 kg warhead.
It’s not much feed. 16 HIMARS?
Drop in the bucket...
Poland knows what’s up. They ordered 500.
