“Pin Pricks. Hopium. I don’t believe in Unicorns.”

Then why do you believe that a pathetic and impotent Ruzzia can defeat Ukraine when it’s taken them nineteen months to be defeated in a ten day war?

Ukraine's Western Sponsors Running Out of Ammo & Out of Time

Aug 31, 2023<

Update on the conflict in Ukraine for August 31, 2023:

- The Western media is trying to spin Ukrainian gains within the security or “gray zone” ahead of Russia’s first of several defense lines as a “turning point” in the offensive;

- Ukraine’s offensive potential has been exhausted with the West struggling to find arms and ammunition to replace Ukrainian losses;

- The West is even struggling to pull together large numbers of antiquated and inappropriate equipment like the post-WW2 Leopard 1 tank;

- Meanwhile Ukraine continues conducting drone strikes in Russia, achieving questionable PR value and little else;

- A recent Ukrainian drone strike on an airport hosting Il-76 strategic airlift aircraft damaged 2. To put that in context, Russia operates over 100 of these aircraft and has production capacity to build up to 12 annually;

- Ukraine’s sponsors are unable to sustain the conflict “for as long as it takes,” and only for as long as they have arms and ammunition to supply Ukraine in sufficient quantities;

Russia never has fought wars the way our current military has, never. Our DOD genius’s (and politicians) are just now figuring it out- attrition.

The Western military leadership ( and civilian populace) does not have the guts or resolve to fight a war of attrition. History shows Russia, China, Iran ( Iranian/ Iraqi war an excellent example) and a host of non western countries and factions ( Islam) wage war much, much differently.
