I’m more about the destination than the journey on this one. How the Russians die is not important to me so long as they keep doing it.
Love the threats from North Korea about “standing in the same trench” as Russia. Russia literally has hundreds of trenches that North Koreans...
I’m not sure I agree that the “worst has passed” for Ukraine. Things can always get worse and probably will. As Russia changes its operational...
Indeed. If the stories are true, that man was hard to kill. Clearly not impossible, though.
Almost certainly you are correct.
That’s my guess, too. Also, as long as he’s alive, his movement can’t really replace him as leader. That was partially the reason the South...
There’s probably nothing “miraculous” about it. Navalney is likely still alive only because having him alive serves some sort of purpose that we...
All of that is true. However, are you still not impressed or at least surprised with the numbers Russia has put into the field and the number of...
I remember seeing her sing that on the news when the war was still fresh (late February or early March) last year. I’m glad I was alone at the...
Generally, I agree with this. What I’m not sure about is what point the need to conclude the war as something the Russians can sell at home as a...
I would, too. But Ukraine would need to impose local air superiority (including adjudication of the Russian IADS) for any of that to fly at an...
As usual, I concur violently. Many of you are no doubt sick of me repeating myself, but Russia has too much of a resource and manpower advantage...
As usual, I will begin my post with the disclaimer that Trump is an idiot, Trump has no business even dreaming about being President again, and we...
Off topic, but I have to say, Bazza, your unqualified optimism is far less revolting when it’s not “Seven losses is still better than eight!” or...
Unfortunately, until the war is long over, we probably won’t understand the economic impact of the sanctions. We want them to be working, so...
Precisely. I even understand the attitude of, “Yeah, that sucks. Wrong all around. But I don’t want Americans at risk, and I don’t want to risk...
Wanted to add some more thoughts on this after I reflected. Let’s say the President wanted Ukraine to be able to impose air superiority, all other...
I don’t think 100 Western tanks is going to decide anything one way or the other, but for the Russian histrionics alone it’s worth it. What is...
I don’t know what they’re seeing that I didn’t last season, but they must be going wholly off potential and nothing off performance. I saw serious...
Oh, I agree and that was what I meant above when I said what we could “realistically” give the Ukrainians. If we were to give them our top...
