Everyone involved is only concerned about what's in their best interest... As they should be. Make no mistake about it, the West's goal of neutering the Russian army via the destruction of the Soviet stockpile, is only relevant now because of Russia's westward expansionist desires and their...
Germany 🇩🇪 is sending Ukraine 7 Billion Euros worth of military aid this year. The biggest economy in Europe can easily support that. They announced 100 Billion Euros of new military investments for themselves, in 2022-2023.
Germany is doing a nice job of balancing military priorities for...
From General Syrskyi...

Germany 🇩🇪 has announced a new, significant military aid package for Ukraine, valued at 1.1 Billion Euros. The aid package is the first part of 7 Billion Euros worth of military aid that Germany has promised to Ukraine in 2024 and the most significant aid package announced thus far in 2024. The...
It has been an enormous week of loses for the Russians as they push into Avdiivka, which is what you would expect trying to conquer well fortified positions.
That said, Ukraine is losing reasonably high number of quality Western equipment as well. They've lost (some are likely repairable) 7...
They were extremely cowardly during that confrontation. They folded like a cheap suit as soon as American and British air power smashed their vaunted air defense network and Western armor started to roll into the theater.
Again, I don't think the West had any real business going to Iraq, but it...
Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny has died in Russian Prison. Putin's thug government has tried to kill Navalny multiple times and it appears that this time they've succeeded.
Man do I wish the absolute worst for the people of Russia. They continue to allow themselves to be ruled by a...

Lol Hussein and his massive army, armed to the teeth with some of the best Soviet made equipment they could get, got absolutely trounced in a couple of days by the West.
Less than 200 Western KIA and less than 600 Western wounded, while Iraq's army was decimated and they were literally burying...
Australia 🇦🇺 has made a $32.4 million usd donation to the International Fund for Ukraine, which is administered by Britain 🇬🇧. This money will likely help pay for the continuation of the multi-national effort to train Ukrainian troops in Britain.
A small, but notable military aid package for Ukraine has been announced by Canada 🇨🇦 The Canadians are purchasing / sourcing $60 million usd worth of weapons, spare parts and equipment for Ukraine's F-16 fleet...
We'll have to agree to disagree here.
It's not lost on me that the morale of the Ukrainian Army and public is important. It's also not lost on me that that the "sacrifice" of Ukrainian soldiers is not something that the Ukrainians can afford.
But I think you're ignoring the fact that there...
I actually thoroughly disagree with this opinion. The choice Syrskyi made in Bakhmut was controversial because, as you alluded to, the last 6'ish weeks that Ukraine stayed in the fight there, the casualty ratio was closer to 1-to-1 compared to the much better ratio Ukraine enjoyed earlier in the...
