Russia-Ukraine War - News and Developments PART 2

[Neby Rakachun]

Trump is leading the polls?
Why? This clown of a president tarnished the office with his scandals.
Alienated many allies.
Was easily swayed by compliments from Kim and Putin.
Mishandled Afghanistan, mishandled covid.

On the other hand…the democrats are pushing a ancient mummy to run again…i have no clue why they keep hanging on to these ancients instead of some rising fresh politician.

Trump mishandled...?

Afghanistan was mishandled when that Biden retard left it, when Trump was there he was MOABing the sand monkeys and Taliban didn't dare to act up.

The worst of COVID was during Biden's cadency, Biden just capitalized on the crisis and did nothing to improve it.

It was trump who signed with them peace agreement not Biden.. Afghanistan could have bankrupt The US eventully. It cost 20 trillion usd it was not feasible anymore..

 

[Titanium100]

I actually dont think so.

1: they defend this using russian statements 1 on 1.
“little green men”
“Seperatists”

2: such incursions will force russia to not completely deplete russian territorial defenses to pile everything in ukraine.
It will need to withhold considerable troops for defence.

3: if kept limited this will not trigger a mass patriotic reaction from russian public.

This is what miscalculation is called and believe me. Russia could go berserker and things like this could trigger already people who were insane on before hand. Russia could use mass destruction weapons here

American WOKE mentality is a problem. Americans think that they can CIVILIZE any society - this is not how it works in every region. American infatuation with creating a sham bureaucratic democracy and unreliable security forces allowed Taliban groups to retake entire provinces.

US should have retained the Northern Alliance model to govern Afghanistan and attend to issues of ordinary Afghans. For those who provided shelter to Taliban groups inside Afghanistan, US should have bombed them to dust each time. But nope. Taliban were moving around and creating checkpoints and planting shadow governors wherever they wanted to.

It is baffling to see how a superpower with the finest army in the world failed to figure out how fight a war in Afghanistan.

Americans should not be making fun of Russians but look in the mirror.

There is no comparison between US and Ukraine in terms of application of conventional military power.

Ukraine does not have the type of bombers, drones, gunships, and jets to bomb Russian positions across the country and reduce Russian columns to mush, and the type of tanks to rollover Russian leftovers on the ground.

The US Army General has also pointed out that Ukraine's counteroffensive must produce results. Ukraine will have to give up on Donbas otherwise.

I was referring more to the defense of Bakhmut, but yes Ukraine does not have the air power necessary to conduct a sweeping offensive on Russian forces. They do have enough manpower and advanced Western armor to conduct a successful counteroffensive and take back a decent amount of territory.

American WOKE mentality is a problem. Americans think that they can CIVILIZE any society - this is not how it works in every region. American infatuation with creating a sham bureaucratic democracy and unreliable security forces allowed Taliban groups to flourish and retake entire provinces.

US should have retained the Northern Alliance model to govern Afghanistan and attend to issues of ordinary Afghans. For those who provided shelter to Taliban groups inside Afghanistan, US should have bombed them to dust then and there each time. But nope. Taliban were moving around and creating checkpoints and planting shadow governors wherever they wanted to.

US should have never tried a regime change in cavemen societies like Afghanistan, it should have just kept it as a training and weapon tests ground for its military.

Americans ****ed the Afghans militarily, that "America lost to Afghanistan" autistic screech makes no sense, US was superior at every point, but US decision to create a puppet regime failed because they relied on Afghans being able to create any meaningful conventional force. Of course they wouldn't, those are 70 IQ goat herders.

US military is very strong and capable and can win battles. No doubt about this.

But American infatuation with creating democracy and women rights is NOT going to work in a WAR. Do Americans study history?

Formula is simple and straightforward:

1. Fight and win the war on the ground. Level entire sectors if necessary.
2. Those who want to negotiate, sure. Those who don't? Eliminate.
3. Assemble a team of cooperative LOCALS and leave it to THEM to decide HOW to run the country.

Rinse and Repeat until the opposing side capitulates and comes to the negotiation table. Decide the terms of peace and make sure that all have signed the agreement. Now announce an exit date.

Priority of military offensive isn’t capturing the land, but to destroy enemy offensive and defensive capabilities, Land is secondary matter.

Both go hand in hand. The goal of the counteroffensive is to take back as much territory as possible and make life untenable for Russian forces in Ukraine.

This week the EU passed an Act that allows them to buy armaments from outside suppliers for Ukraine. It will be a few weeks before these start arriving. Germany and Poland are setting up shell manufacturing and armour repair units in Poland and they won't be fully operational until the end of the month things are happening but not as fast as one wishes

Excuse me, this is pathetic. Using all resources to manufacture and supply already lost cause of Ukraine coming back into the conflict is next to impossible at the moment.
What if hypothetically there is another war in South China Sea or even India China border or even far fetched Pakistan India ? Than what ? Where will the world get all the ammo for those wars? See the big picture. Ukraine getting this ammo from Poland etc is total waste of resource. Zylensky should get lost and call it quits before remain population is annihilated by Russia?

You cannot win in Afghanistan unless you are prepared to completely and utterly destroy the enemy, which means killing ALL the Taliban and taking action against anyone giving them aid; if you aren't prepared to do that then you either commit to a permanent massive "police" action to keep the nasties under some sort of control and accept that you are going to suffer casualties, or you leave the place entirely alone and stop fiddling with it

Over-optimistic coverage of the war in the Western mainstream might have led to this.

These people are underestimating Russian will to fight this war. The level of commitment Russia has shown to fight on this front is on another level entirely in comparison to Afghanistan.

1. Bakhmut has fallen.

2. Over 200,000 Russian troops are committed to defense of occupied lands. This is not an army that is getting steamrolled with what Ukraine has at its disposal. The march towards Mariupol looks as distant as ever.

3. Ukraine is also loosing men and material in battles with Russia. Ukraine's threshold for losses might be lower than that of Russia. People are not drones and good soldiers take time to train and make.

This is not looking good.

History reminds us :
Napolean defeated when he tried to invade Moscow back in the day 250 years ago.
WW2 Germany tried to invade Russia across huge border with superior tanks & Messerschmitt figthers yet failed horribly. Stalingrad & Battle of Kursk was easy victory for Germans but what happened there?
Ukraine is already showing the failure to stand up to Russia in less than 1.5 years. Now Russia will double down.
Any country sides with Ukraine is putting its own slap on its face and wasting financial assets, time wasted, betting on the wrong horse and lastly falling for NATO propuganda(not that I am anti NATO but they have clearly lost in logistics to predictions of war).

No need to apologise brother lol

The answer to your question is And majority of Ukrainian artillery, tanks and guns are still Soviet made.
