How is it the Ukrainians can get one or two missiles right on target but the Russians need to use massed artillery to flatten an entire city?

US and Brit “advisors” using US and Brit weapons. And there really has not been any Russian massed artillery flattening a city in this war yet.

Mariupol has definitely been redeveloped by Russian artillery.

As to the accurate attacks on Russian targets regardless of who is running these ops I wish them well.

Another example of the nation of neo-Nazis targeting civilians. The Avozs have been using civilians as human shields and killing them if they try to escape. The SBU is killing or imprisoning dissenters.

Ukraine is hellhole of a country and absolutely not worth on losing an American life over or the billions we're spending on it.

Mariupol looks sort of flat, but not major because there are still some shells of bombed out buildings standing./s

Will you Putinesta trolls stop using the Kremlin propaganda “Nazi” talking point? Ever? You are just making yourselves out to be mind-numbed Orc stooges.

Of course its P Lancaster, a paid Orc propagandist, hyper ventilating as usual, reporting from inside Orc held lines, while his armed Orc minders look on.

Orc? I’m not up to speed on Game of Thrones and that Harry Potters stuff. Does that make the Ukes Hobbits, or Runts, or something?

It’s not like they bombed the Chinese embassy or something.

It is due to one reason; the Ukrainian, as a client state of NATO, lacks enough artillery for mass shelling. It's not because the crooked Ukrainians are good people, they are the Mexicans of Europe and they have to fight with what our Princesses of the Pentagon give them. Since America doesn't follow the doctrine of mass artillery attacks neither can the Ukrainians. Simple as that.

“It is due to one reason; the Ukrainian, as a client state of NATO, lacks enough artillery for mass shelling.”

That problem is literally being resolved this week.

“It’s not because the crooked Ukrainians are good people, they are the Mexicans of Europe and they have to fight with what our Princesses of the Pentagon give them.”

There are some charming Mexican folks on this message board who will see your post and perhaps not be amused by it. If in the near future someone walks up to you and says, “Hey cabrón...” it will be time to run. Trust me on this.

“Since America doesn’t follow the doctrine of mass artillery attacks neither can the Ukrainians. Simple as that.”

We follow a doctrine of accurate and deadly artillery attacks.

And now so will the Ukrainians.

Also get his facts straight. He headlines that the structure hit was a major oil plant (refinery? depot?) and indeed there are oil trucks on fire, and two giant pillars of black smoke, such as an oil fire would produce. Then he switches that it’s not a military installation, but a civilian cable factory, and the Ukrainians hit it out of sheer meanness. I submit to you that any place in a war zone that there’s a huge accumulation of oil is a legitimate military target, whether civilian or military. Maybe there was a cable factory next door to it that also got hit. But that doesn’t mean that it was a strike on a cable factory.

Yes, civilians do get hit when you blow up an “oil plant”. But if a Russian tank column comes through Donyetsk, you must deprive them of petrol as much as possible, in ORDER to minimize civilian and military casualties on your side, by depriving them of logistical necessities such as oil.

Lancaster has been in the war zone for eight years, but in this video fails to grasp the fundamentals of warfare.

Russia is a hideous and utterly corrupt oligarchy. It’s like the Gambino family but with nuclear weapons. When this little dust up is over the UN needs to convene a meeting to discuss stripping them of their nukes like they did in South Africa in the 80s.

They’re too uncivilized to possess such weapons.

Kick them off that joke of a Security Council first.

See #15 below.

Also, Ukraine is the battlefield for a proxy war. CatherPutin, by her own words, wants the Russian Empire of Catherine The Great resurrected, hence the nick-name. That would involve conquering all of Eastern Europe, up to and including NATO states such as Poland, Lithuania and Romania, and even Hungary. And that would trigger Article Five of the NATO charter, causing WW III and nuclear Armageddon. That cannot be allowed to happen. So he must be stopped in Ukraine while it’s still a proxy war. Period.

Ukraine is a developing nation, and it certainly has its problems. But Neo-Nazism is not one of them. That is pure Putin BS, to which conservatives should be innured, since we are called that so often, if I had a dime for every time, I’d be richer than Elon Musk. And the alleged Neo-Nazis to whom you refer, The Azovs, are not even in Donyetzk. They are in Mariupol, and making their last stand there, but selling their lives dear. They are not nice people, but neither are Hell’s Angels, who also wear Swastika-like regalia. Do they target civilians? Yeah. So do the DPR, but the former targets Russian separatists, while the latter target Ukrainian loyalists. They are both disgusting, and I fervently pray that both militias kill each other off.
