This Russian attack submarine was designed to destroy US and NATO naval vessels and shipping, and is capable of firing Kalibr Cruise Missiles with nuclear warheads. It was one of only six of its type, before Ukraine destroyed it for us this weekend (At a cost of less than one percent of the submarine's value, and no risk to US personnel or assets).
One less to worry about. One less for Russia to threaten the world with.
“America’s and Europe’s economies are suffering deindustrialization and poverty.”
Apparently, you have not been keeping up these last few years.
America is currently investing in new plant, equipment and infrastructure at more than twice the rate that it did during WWII. Reshoring of supply chains from COVID, President Trump’s Re-write of NAFTA, and the trillion dollar Inflation Reduction Act are a perfect storm of massive Government and Private investment.
You are little more than a Ukrainian partisan.
You should go there and help them out, or write them a check for 10s of thousands of dollars.
Do your part.
who says I’m not helping them already?
a war is fought on many fronts ... you know nothing of what I do
“you know nothing of what I do”
Correct.
But I know many things about you.
They are making slow but steady progress, much better than earlier and confirmed by Russian telegram channels. There are unlikely to be any WWII style breakthroughs. It will be more like 1918 where the German Army just continued to give ground as the allies advanced until it just decided to pack up and leave, despite any orders to the contrary.
Putin is reduced to impressing guest workers into the Russian army. He aims to raise another 200K troops this Fall. What will he arm them with, broomsticks?
That is true, Ukraine has lost a 1/4 of its territory.
Be patient, there are more Ukrainian losses to come.
Wrong. We the good people of Culpeper Virginia support the Luhansk People’s Republic (LPR) and Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR) as independent states. In 2014 we sent them a signed Culpeper Minuteman flag, along with a note to never listen to a nation who’s ancestors lacked the courage to revolt from the Crown and still sing “God Save The King”.
Good one.
Each side is fighting a different war. Ukraine is fighting for square yards of dirt in a country the size of Texas, while Russia is fighting for dead Ukrainians and destroyed Ukrainian armament.
By that set of metrics both sides are winning.
