Yesterday Russia launched more than 100 drones and 4 ballistic missiles against Ukraine's energy infrastructure in various cities in Western Ukraine. The overwhelming majority of the drones were shot down or jammed and sent back to Russia. The ballistic missiles, however, appear to have targeted...
I'm not quite sure why but dunking on you and Blackjack is among my favourite things to do on the Internet... I'm not going to hold my breath for an intelligent, sourced or researched response, because I'm right, you're wrong, and as usual, it's glorious.
Czechia doesn't have T-64's, but what...
Czechia doesn't have T-64's, but what they started some time ago was an initiative where they repair and help refurbish Ukrainian T-64s that are being pulled from storage. They modernize them in Czechia then ship them back to Ukraine. That's why I've listed their flag there. Not because they are...
You do realize that at the rate Russia has captured land in Ukraine (the easiest land to take because it's closest to their borders and was home to many that wound up fighting for Russia), it would take Russia another 12+ years to take all of Ukraine. And it would actually take longer because...
Lol, clueless as usual. This execute order does not pertain to military aid.
A Kalitta Air 747 literally transported equipment from Dover Air Force Base to the key Ukrainian collection hub in Rzesznow Poland, TODAY. Furthermore, the $20 Billion usd portion of the $50 Billion usd loan that the...
The aid will be sent. $4 Billion worth of military aid Germany 🇩🇪 intends to send in 2025 has already been contracted, ordered and much of it is already in production. After February the politics will settle down and they will carry on with deliveries.
In an absolute worst case scenario...
A new air defense commitment for Ukraine has been announced by Britain 🇬🇧 and has been co-developed by Denmark 🇩🇰.
In 2025 Britain will deliver 15 "Gravehawk" SHORAD Air defense systems to Ukraine. Ukraine quietly tested the first two systems in September, successfully intercepting Russian...
Some updates on aid that Western countries have commited to deliver to Ukraine in 2025. This list is not entirely comprehensive or exhaustive, but it gives an initial indication of support levels that have been made public thus far.
The G7 🇺🇸🇬🇧🇫🇷🇨🇦🇮🇹🇩🇪🇯🇵 will provide Ukraine with a $50 Billion...
I doubt Russia will run out of money to fund the war in the next year or two, because their government is all in on it being at least partially successful so that they can justify the enormous casualty rates to their population.
That said, they're going to have to take on significant measures...
I'm empathetic to this point. But they then have to find a better strategy to incentivize another 250,000-300,000 men (and women where applicable) age 25-60 to sign up and to be willing combatants. That's likely how many people they'll need (in a short period of time) to stabilize the front and...
I actually think the biggest issue at hand is that most people want their tax money predominently spent on their own needs and coming out of Covid-19, with as high as inflation has been in the collective West, people are having their standard of living noticeably affected by the rising the cost...
Germany 🇩🇪 announced the delivery of a new military aid package for Ukraine today. Per usual, the Germans announced the package after it had been delivered. It consists of the following:
- 20 FFG MRAPS
- 600 HF-1 Strike Drones
- 46 RQ-35 Heidrun Recon Drones
- 43 Songbird Recon Drones
- 50...
Do you have any idea how opposed to paying salaries and pensions of Ukrainians that many Westerners are? It's one thing to send them war materials that are manufactured in the West and generate both jobs and a tax base for the people of that country. It's different entirely to send billions of...
I'm all for Ukrainian soldiers being paid more in order to incentivize people from all age brackets to sign up. I think that's a great idea and I'm all for it... Here is the catch though. Someone has to pay for it and that can really only be solved by raising taxes in Ukraine to an alarmingly...
You're making some false equivalencies here.
1. The Russo-Ukrainian war has nothing in common with the war in Vietnam. The American homeland was not being threatened in the least, nor was American freedom. People got sick of that war because the Americans were sending thousands of young men to...
I understand your take and empathize deeply with the Ukrainians, but I also completely understand the American position... Let's look at the facts.
1. The West has been staunch from thr outset of the war that they would not contribute manpower to the Ukrainian war effort. They'd back Ukraine...
The incoming U.S. Government has begun to layout what it intends on demanding of Ukraine to continue providing them military support into 2025 and beyond. Today, incoming National Security Advisor Mike Waltz laid a out a couple of those demands.
1. The U.S. wants Ukraine to lower its...
