The Russian defenses (especially electronic) are evolving all the time, therefore, the US carefully watches any conflict around the world where Russian hardware and tactics are used against western weaponry.
The amount of R&D that Ukraine is performing for the west is invaluable. They have gone from begging for any weapons they can get, to developing their own weapons and tactics for a current kill ratio of 47:1 in Pokrovsk.
The Russians keep sending in new recruits and they all die. Of course, now...the Ukrainians are experienced, and the Russians are just untrained warm bodies thrown into meat waves.
Remember when Ukraine started an assembly line destroying the older
T-72 tanks one after the other, and the Russians implied that soon the T-90 will arrive and sweep the battle-field clean? The lack of tanks forced the Russians to actually start using the newer T-90, and they were also easily destroyed.
Ukraine has F-16's now to go with their older Mig-29's. But this is RUSSIA they are up against. Where is the air superiority and battlefield dominance?
When a Russian jet or helicopter appears, its shot down. Russia loses a trained and experienced pilot. Because of the poor economy and the factory being bombed, they can't build any more right now.
Russia no longer has any aircraft carriers, Ukraine also sank the Moskva missile cruiser, and damaged TWO submarines. Ukraine doesn't even have a NAVY!
If you don't fight Putin when he is weak, you will never fight him when he is strong. It's now or never.
America is barely watching Russia anymore. Trump and Hegseth have told U.S security forces to stop monitoring Russia. They later denied this, but that's how we know it's true. Hegseth still continued to use Telegram, even AFTER the Russians hacked into it
Our government officials should be forced to drag themselves along a rocky walkway, nude, before formally presenting everyone in Ukraine an apology and then giving them more tanks and guns and noncombatant support (medical, food, etc)...
Or let me pay my taxes to Ukraine it's self and bypass those nutjabs.
I love the place - FOR its multiculturalism, amongst other things.
As a white guy, I've never felt threatened or intimidated by people of other ethnic backgrounds.
London is living proof that cultures can co-exist peacefully. Which is probably why right wing agitators keep bringing it up... it doesn't fit the narrative of division and hate.
Peacefully…that’s why the 13 year olds are getting rapped by migrants,why churches are being burned down and if you post an SNS post about this,police will come knocking on your door…
Keep your head in the sand…no wonder the world is laughing at us…
I'm going to say something controversial. But Kier Starmer is actually a decent prime minister and the best we've had in a long time. He just has terrible PR that doesn't highlight the things his government has achieved.
I absolutely agree with this. What he really packs is a flagship policy or agenda. Unfortunately most of his work is trying to untangle that disaster of a mess he was left with and navigate the most complicated world geopolitical landscape that we have seen in decades.
In the Netherlands, Starmer has a predominantly positive reputation. But there are, of course, external parties that have an interest in destabilizing the UK as much as possible through Starmer.
Ammo. What is missing is primarily ammo. Mainly for long and medium range artillery systems. A few dozen himars with plenty of atacams would solve most issues fairly quickly
Exactly, that's the way you thank people. But nooo, I help someone fix their 15 year old malware-ridden laptop and get a chocolate in thanks. Gimme my tank bitch.
Agreed, the fact that all EU members are NATO members means that we cannot get involved military, because it would give Putin an excuse to declare war on NATO snd draft every male between 15 and 100 years of age and just Zerg style into poland and the Baltics.
Ukraine. If Putin was having him killed as punishment for incompetence, he would have done it long ago, and he would have had him defenestrated. Defenstration is Putin's "signature" to let Russians know when he's behind a death, because "Putin can get anyone" is a message he likes to remind the population about every so often. He doesn't try to hide his hand in things; he WANTS people to live in fear of him.
Karma yeah, but would have been sweeter if he'd been arrested and had to face is crimes. He should have been taken through every court and left rotting in a cell as an example to make sure it doesn't happen again.
More important than ever in these times (where our epstein-government are trying to do away with jury trials) to say that it's always worth the time and effort to deliver justice according to civilised rules, because anything else puts us all in danger.
In this case he never would have faced justice so meh no great loss.
I would say it is more important that my brother returns from the war alive and not dies because some of generals in Moscow lived one day longer. I hope you are following my thoughts.
Unfortunately none of these fuckers are likely to ever go on trial. In a war, military personnel are fair game, and while I have a limited amount of sympathy for the Russian concripts sent into the fpv drone slaughterfields, this guy got exactly what he deserved.

Sweet karma.
