“ Can you say stupid?”

As in “Jon is stupid”? Why, yes. I can say that.

All military equipment requires constant maintenance. Something the Russians are apparently unfamiliar with.

Having actually been in the military I’m well acquainted with constantly maintaining weapons, vehicles, personal gear, and the like.

Stalking and flame baiting early?

What's on the agenda today for you and the Mrs, skinning some fresh kill for dinner.

No one cares, and I would brag about the mess of a legacy you left.

I was an artillery officer, and you are 100% correct.

Actually, the ability to send those guns to NATO countries for repair/refitting/tube change-out is another major logistical advantage for Ukraine. Ukrainian logistics are backed by the largest economic/industrial alliance in the world. Russia is more or less in its own.

This is just more evidence that Ukraine is now a total colony of NATO and the USA. They depend on the West for everything - financial aid is a majority of their GDP, and all their government budget. They rely nearly completely on NATO/US intelligence, and totally on NATO weapons.

It means their generals are subordinate to NATO/US generals, and their politicians subordinate to NATO/US demands. Ukraine soldiers are cannon-fodder for NATO/US policy.

Sadly, Zelensky/Ukraine have become Ngo Dinh Diem in Vietnam, Al-Maliki in Iraq or Ashraf Ghani in Afghanistan.

When Western political will ends, Ukraine will be a hollow shell that will simply disappear.

US Neocons and corrupt politicians have forced Ukraine into every stupid, reactionary move which is contrary to what might have guaranteed Ukraine independence and some independent development.
