I find it interesting that both Putin and Zelenskyy have been praised by Klaus Schwab as members of Young Global Leaders. But what can we peasants believe when our sources of information are completely controlled by varying side of a “global” confrontation. I fear it it is us (”little people” to quote Hillery) who are to be the victims, the sacrifice to “Mother Nature” for the “Great Reset.” Perhaps, both side here are blind to what’s going on. I don’t know. I wasn’t raised as religious, nor am I a believer: but it sure seems like we are headed to some sort of end-times prophecy.
Um no, “ i woukd rather see the money spent on a wall” is wishful thinking, thus not worth making an argument over it. That is a “political argument” not worth having. Afterall they want ice water in hell too.
Well, you ARE kind of new around here, so I’ll allow that you don’t really grasp politics all that well.
I am not sure if you are referring to the Kerch Bridge on the east side of Crimea or the ways to enter Crimea from the north. I am not sure if HIMARS can reach the bridge. Last I heard the rail part was damaged such that only passenger trains could be used. Heavy military equipment was being carried on the large ferries remaining from the time before the bridge was finished a few years ago. I suspect Ukraine prefers not to destroy the bridge as there is still a large civilian population of Russians that moved there after 2014. Better to let them flee by car so they will not be there to feed and worry about once Ukraine moves to take Crimea. Then when peace is achieved with Ukraine regaining Crimea, the bridge can be used for Russian tourists to visit the Crimean beaches and help support Ukraine’s peacetime economy.

We are waiting for an expected offensive... What is happening now shows that a major Russian attack is already underway... The question is whether Russia has sufficient offensive capability to seize much territoryIt is a sad commentary on the state of the Russian military that a week into the current operations, no one is really sure if it this is the promised winter offensive or not. As well as if Russia is actually capable of launching an operation larger than the initial invasion, including the Russians.

So yeah, i know politics, thank otto for explaining it to you.
Schooled by the FreshPimp...
Russia can and may well lose 50,000 and still fight on to win
—
In the first hour of the landing at Normandy, the US lost 4,000 KIA.
Russia is already way past your 50,000 number and working on 120,000 KIA (200s).
Many observers believe that the Russian version of the Battle of the Bulge offensive has already begun and already failed.
It has been shown that Russia lacks the wherewithal to accomplish the required victory on the ground
