Re: Hey there's about to be a war in Ukraine.
logistics problems, lack of leadership/training, and in this situation w/ 4k drone cameras overhead, I'm not sure it'd really make that much of a difference.

Re: Hey there's about to be a war in Ukraine.
it would make more of a difference than sitting on an open field like that video. I agree about the training and leadership. The video of the tank column going into an ambush, as an MP we practiced that exact drill over and over.

Re: Hey there's about to be a war in Ukraine.
Unlike long-range Predator drones, which look similar to small planes and fire missiles at targets, the smallest Switchblade model fits in a rucksack and flies directly into targets to detonate its small warhead. Less than 2-feet long and weighing only 5.5 pounds, the Switchblade 300 can be launched from a small tube that resembles a mortar, after which it can fly for up to 15 minutes. The larger Switchblade 600 is effective against armored targets and can fly for more than 40 minutes, but weighs 50 pounds, according to the manufacturer. https://www.yahoo.com/gma/know-100-u...000100783.html Ukraine is going to need more than 100 of these .. thats a half day supply |

Re: Hey there's about to be a war in Ukraine.
Putin gets lots of names like dictator, murderer, etc., etc.
All true, but his No. 1 title should be: Bitch-ass pussy If you're trying to take over the world, get the fuck out of your hiding spot. He's just a little loser that sends everyone else out to die so he can jerk-off to himself and old USSR videos. If I could fight 1 person to the death, I think I'd choose him.

The siege at Mariupol is absolutely heartbreaking. Russians shelling residents is a war crime.

Re: Ukraine mega thread
19 March Assessment (Well maybe they (ISW) changed their mind on daily assessments).
This is key who would have predicted this 3 weeks ago? "Ukrainian forces have defeated the initial Russian campaign of this war. That campaign aimed to conduct airborne and mechanized operations to seize Kyiv, Kharkiv, Odesa, and other major Ukrainian cities to force a change of government in Ukraine. That campaign has culminated....." https://www.understandingwar.org/bac...sment-march-19 |

Re: Ukraine mega thread
The Ukraine Air Force has been amazing, I wish somehow they could attack Moscow IMO I think it could bring an end to this thing. The russian people don't know the whole truth bringing the war to them could make them turn on putin. Just MO.

Ukraine does not have the capability to fly into Moscow and hit like we did to Tokyo. But you're right, if they did it would be a game changer at home for Putin.

Re: Ukraine mega thread
This is from trumps Ambassador to Ukraine"
"Marie Yovanovitch says Trump's Helsinki press conference with Putin was so 'disastrous' that she couldn't finish eating her french fries" The US's former ambassador to Ukraine, Marie Yovanovitch, writes in her new book that she lost her appetite and couldn't finish her french fries while watching then President Donald Trump's joint press conference with Russian leader Vladimir Putin in 2018. Yovanovitch was serving as the US's ambassador to Ukraine when Trump and Putin held a bilateral summit in Helsinki in 2018. At the time, she writes in her memoir, "Lessons From the Edge," the US Navy was conducting maritime exercises with Ukraine in a show of solidarity against Russia's aggression. "It was quite a show, and as I watched the display of US sea power and leadership ... I was proud to be an American," the book says. But the same day, Trump held "what turned out to be a disastrous meeting with President Putin in Helsinki," she continues. "The summit wrapped up with a joint press conference between the two leaders, a spectacle that left observers pondering the depths to which Trump had sunk in his pandering to Putin." "I watched the infamous Trump-Putin press conference at my Odesa hotel that evening while pecking at room-service french fries," the book says. "I quickly lost my appetite as I saw our president toady up to Putin and take the Russian's word over that of our own intelligence agencies, which assessed that Russia had interfered in the 2016 US presidential election."

Not sure we'll ever see another POTUS side with the guy authorizing daily cyber warfare on the US over his own intelligence agencies.
