Russia-Ukraine war has begun
- Thread starter TheOriginalHappyGoat

Evidently there is one numbers game that Putin is losing to Ukraine and it’s not surprising. Ukrainian citizens are making homemade drones. I don’t know what the numbers are, but Putin has been hiding the truth of this war from his citizens and has thus lost their potential collaboration. Ukraine citizens are collaborating in full force.
We know what American citizens were able to do during World War II when we mobilized full force.
That’s the power of free will in a free society.

You could draw a parallel between the American colonies fighting for independence from Great Britain and Ukraine fighting their war for independence from Russia today. Ukrainians are “earning“ their independence, and I can imagine that they’re going to appreciate, cherish, and value it all the more when they succeed.
Yeah, I've used the Afghanistan example that a Soviet/Russian win isn't inevitable, just as our victory over N. Vietnam wasn't a given (although we put too many rules on our own troops to win).
This seems to be kind of big deal..... Seems Z might have had a premonition when he said Putin would die before him.
This guy is/was a huge Putin supporter. I recommend he not stand near any open windows.
The previous rangeof an FPV was 20km. The US mililtary may be buying Ukrainian drones soon.
Hit it twice, at different times, if I recall correctly. Always double tap !

The Secret History of the War in Ukraine
This is the untold story of America’s hidden role in Ukrainian military operations against Russia’s invading armies.
I read Taibbi, I read the Times. What in the Times article is nearly as bad as he makes it sound? Yes, we supply a lot of intel and weapons to Ukraine, we all knew that. Yes, we have slowly removed constraints from Ukraine (ratcheting up probably would be the term), but we have known that was happening. I didn't see anything in there that was "oh my God, that's a betrayal." What did I miss?Biden Lied About Everything, Including Nuclear Risk, During Ukraine Operation

I don't know. Didn't read them yet. Thought it was pertinent, though, so linked it.

His re-education is complete. lol
I thought Mas had insinuated the war was over and that Russia had won

Their air defense is great, assuming you can read Swedish and have enough Allen wrenches to assemble it.
American Veterans Fighting in Ukraine Struggle with the Politics of Abandonment
Hundreds of Americans have fought in Ukraine since Russia's full-scale invasion began. At least 50 have been killed, 40 of whom were former U.S. service members.
I think it was CNN that had a general making an interesting point. Russia started using Wagner Group mercenaries, and they took a lot of casualties. The Russian people didn't care. Then, Russia opened up her prisons, and those prisoners took a lot of casualties. But they ran out of prisoners to serve as bullet catchers. Some North Koreans are filling that role now, but not nearly as many as there are Ukrainian rounds. So the war finally has come home to ordinary Russians in numbers it hadn't.

Russian officials want to ramp up production on the largely unloved MiG-35, but there are major hurdles in the way.

Haven't you heard? Now Putin is REALLY mad and has ordered Ukraine to be wiped out.
He's done playing. lol
I think I read that the latest conscription is 160,000. A pic I saw showed a bunch of normal looking young guys lined up to get processed.
You're right - this is going to impact the average Russians a lot more than previous years.
These kids may actually be more motivated, but 160,000 would be off the field in less than a year, at current casualty rates.
Lots of particle board?
Wait - is this an IKEA joke? I'm slow....
Putin has been letting Russians flee the country so he’s left to conscript his own voters…
At this point, the smart move for Putin would be to say "OK, we've accomplished all our goals of the Special Military Operation" and from now on, we'll only protect those areas we've annexed into Russia to protect that Russian population. No more offensive operations. We accept a 100% cease fire."
You know Trump would agree to this and put Ukraine in a bad position.
I can't see a downside for Putin in this and he would be popular at home (well, except for the families of the almost 1 million casualties)
Russia launches no strike drones into Ukraine for first time since December
Russia launched no long-range strike drones into Ukraine on Monday night and into Tuesday morning, Ukraine's air force said.
106 days of "inventory" and then they start over, with the current averages.
Ukraine will never accept this. They are building 5 million drones a year now, and they will continue to rain hell on Russia. And I am damn happy for them to do it.
I agree they won't accept it. I'm just surprised Putin doesn't try it. Trump could wash his hands of the whole thing.
I think these guys can't see the forest for the trees.
Trump won't wash his hands of anything. He has to win. If Putin Fiddles Around much longer, Trumps next move is offer much more support to Ukraine and no restrictions to Ukraine, that will loosen up the minerals and probably other Trump asks from them.
Ukraine nails the EFF out of Moscow and St Pete now that they have 1,500+ kM drones/ rockets and US Flying boomie things.
Puitty finally gets to the Find Out phase and goes home and dies, from a fall out a window.
That is what I see happening, but time will tell.
