One more time.

Flak?    ✔
A lot of flak? ✔
Over Target? CONFIRMED

The Putinists really don't like having the bigger picture presented at all. Both sides are taking losses, and Ukraine does not talk about its losses. Looking at Oryx, Russia has had consistently 2 to 3 times as many reported vehicle losses since the war began. It is impossible for Russia to have so much greater equipment losses, without having proportional losses in personnel.

Ukriane started mobilization and training as soon as possible, getting new soldiers trained in UK and other countries. Russia only started mobilization AFTER the Kharkiv Offensive. Then everyone found out Russia's abilities to mobilize and train are even worse than how their military has performed. "Training" areas are holding grounds to hold conscripts before dumping them on the front line. That is not training in how the US Reserves or NATO operates.

Russia has a huge military. They also have military commitments over the rest of Russia, toward NATO, China, and the rest of the Russian border. The Russian army fights by train and truck, so they is a hard upper limit of 200,000 on what they can deploy in Ukraine. Now they have to make up losses of trained personnel, with facilities that are barely adequate for residing, never mind training.

The countries allied against Russia have 6 to 7 times the population, and 20 to 30 times the economic output at the minimum. Russia tank production was dependent on imports from Europe. Russian tank production has ceased and they have to cobble together working 50 year old T-62s out of storage. Ukraine can make up its troop losses, and the US and NATO can make up weapons use, far better than Russia. All the long term are on Ukraine's side .

Correct again! LOL
My life is so busy.

Now you know why I say you don’t have to reason with the unreasonable we all know persons who just always want to argue. In other words, don’t waste your time trying to debate them. That only treats them as if they have said something worthy and gives them a forum. They need a rebuke. That may be done best by ignoring or Proverbs 26: 4-5

BTW, for those that have been praying:
12-1-2022 Isabella Grace came into our family at 5#14 & 18 inches. [Typically, the baby gains a pound a week the last month of pregnancy.]

We are so truly thankful for all that have kept my daughter in your prayers. Izzy would have been 4 weeks early instead of just 2 wks!

God is so good!
