Budanov mentioned he saw in Bakhmut ""...hundreds of dead bodies just rotting away in the open field..."

I don't know much about rules of engagement but shouldn't these bodies at least be buried or covered in soil rather than stacked like firewood, which sounds pretty gruesome?

How about UN General Assembly, Res. 3220 (XXIX) and/or 27th International Conference of the Red Cross and Red Crescent, Res. I

I am uncomfortable with the USA being at war with Russia, using the Ukraine nazi mercenary force to do puppetbidens dirty work, and for all the wrong reasons. Now I know what it must have felt for an average sane person ( not a Nazi) living in Germany in 1931 at the start of WW2

...without specifically saying whether Ukraine would be behind them.

If not Ukraine then who?

I don’t like the idea of strikes in Russia. I will say that
Russia hasn’t been bashful of hitting as deep in the Ukraine
as it wants.

This whole thing is a series of absurdities.

Ukraine should have received those Bradley IFVs AND Abrams tanks ten months ago. Those Brads will have much better thermal sights than any Russian vehicles. The 25mm automatic cannon will eat all Russian APCs. The Bradley’s double TOW launcher will take care of enhanced tanks. I do not know if the Brads will be delivered with FBCB2s or a less advanced blue force tracking system but the Brads will be a factor on the battlefield.

I see that as a problem, in that, all Russia needs is one to reverse engineer

They don’t need to reverse engineer anything because Chinese and Russian spies often steal essential defense engineering before we get it into production. But having design plans and being able to manufacture it is sometimes two different problems.

Putin got rid of Communism and replaced it with Christianity. What do you have against a Christian Russia? Are you anti-Christian like Biden is? For years, the Nazi Socialists in Ukraine have been harassing and killing Christian Russians living within its provinces. You and all the rest of your NeoCon buddies are going to get Americans killed in a nuclear conflagration. Just to let that warmongering maniac Zelensky continue to steal and launder and plunder billions of taxpayer dollars? Kicking them back to DC to all the treasonous millionaire US civil servants? Who’ve been on the take and protected by the DOJ for years? Including the Biden family? Fool!

You covered most of the fictional Moscow talking points. In realty land Putin laments the demise of the Soviet Union. His brutal invasions of the Republic of Georgia and Ukraine demonstrate just how Christian he is. Russian troops raise the Hammer and Sickle flags above conquered Ukrainian towns. Thousands of Russian speaking Ukrainians are fighting to liberate their hometowns from the Russian criminal invaders. You support Pedophile Putin, his 23-year dictatorship, and his propaganda machine. I support brave Ukrainian men who fight with the Spirit of ‘76.

Denys Davydov reports at 2:38 in the following YouTube link, that Ukraine fired drones into Russian territory, “hitting even St. Petersburg” on December 31, 2022 to early morning January 1, 2023.

That attack by Ukraine, is a serious error, and the U.S.A. should stop all weapons support of the Ukraine.

Putin Deploys New Zircon Hypersonic Cruise Missiles To Atlantic

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CV8ub-UIxVQ

Jan. 4, 2023

EXCERPT:

Russian President Vladimir Putin announced Wednesday the deployment of a frigate armed with hypersonic Zircon cruise missiles - a type of weaponry he says has “no analogues” - to the Atlantic Ocean.

The ship, named Admiral of the Fleet of the Soviet Union Gorshkov, is deploying months after Russia’s Ministry of Defense touted a successful test launch of the missiles, which cleared a distance of 625 miles.

Anyone who doesn’t like Russia’s leadership. Which, is just about everyone.

Great - less than 6 seconds at max speed to reach its 620 mile range (reported 6,670 mph max) - that's a little over 111 miles per minute - that's got to be crazy to get targeting and detonation timed correctly

Mostly its about surviving artillery barrages which used to continue 24/7, and less about vehicle to vehicle combat.

There are no vehicles that can survive that sort of artillery barrage - not Bradleys, not Abrams.

So far it appears that most vehicles have been taken out by artillery.

In the case of the Russians, its all about having access to western tech to make their weapons work as advertised. All of which is now sanctioned.

Biden is only doing what his Chinese masters want done.

The winner in the Ukraine war is China.
