It was sarcastic. Russia will never accept that offer, but Ukraine should not negotiate for anything less. They've twice had Russia annex (through force) their territory over the last 9 years. In what world should they simply give up a huge swathe of their most economically viable land...

Peace is easy... Putin can pull his army out of Ukraine and pay about $250-$300 billion USD in reparations. Ukraine can get it's post 2014 territory back and the Crimea situation can be dealt with later. No demands about Ukraine not joining the EU or NATO will be tolerated. It's an easy...

Even worse is that they have lagged behind their peers in per capita military aid to Ukraine. In terms of notable equipment, they've sent... 1x SAMP/T air defense y system with Aster air defense missiles (half supplied by Italy) 2x Crotale air defense batteries 40x AMX10-RC IFVs 60x VAB APCs...

What this individual is getting woefully wrong is that the you can't send MBTs, IFVs and APCs to Ukraine by the hundreds, without properly training troops on how to best use them. You can't just send Ukraine 1000 armored vehicles and say "train on them as you go". Stationary, huge stockpiles of...

South Korea 🇰🇷 will offer Ukraine $52 Billion usd in post-war reconstruction projects. This is an extremely generous offer by the South Koreans (that also benefits them)... Unfortunately, what Ukraine really needs from them is military aid, which is made complicated by their laws that do not...

They probably have a contract with Garmin and have to buy "x" number of hand held GPS' to get a deal... So they might as well build fighter aircraft to put them in.

Germany 🇩🇪 will provide Ukraine $19 billion usd worth of military aid between between 2022 and 2027, per German chancellor Olaf Scholz. I estimate that it will take upwards of 350-400 billion (over 5 years) in collective spending from Ukraine and their Western allies, to the neutralize the...

Bulgaria 🇧🇬 will send 100 armored personnel carriers to Ukraine. These units, used by Bulgarian federal police, will likely be used by Ukrainian Territorial defense units to supplement the Roshel Senator APCs that Ukraine has also received...

Running water, working toilets and proper meals? These guys are better off in a Ukrainian prison camp than a lot of Russians are back at home! Good for Ukraine in showing some humanity!

It's not only the United States, Canada has announced that they are more than doubling their troops prescence in Latvia. There will be 2200 Canadian troops stationed in Latvia full time, until at least 2027. They're deploying a tank battalion to Latvia early this fall. NATO wants a strong...

A couple points. 1). Ukraine doesn't need to destroy ALL Russian artillery. It has to destroy Russia's most capable, most accurate artillery, namely a high number of its rocket artillery and and high end self-propelled artillery. Russia can field all of the D-20 and D-30 guns it wants. All they...

For those interested in what The United States' 🇺🇸 capacity is to continue supplying Ukraine with GMLRS for HIMARS, Lockheed Martin has upped the production line to 10,000 rockets per year and is exploring avenues to further up production to 14,000 rockets per year. Of course, not all of the...

I think that you are under the impression that Ukraine is going to waste their manpower like Russia did in the Bakhmut area, in WW1 / WW2 style attempts to penetrate the Russian lines by throwing waves of infantry into the teeth of prepared Russian defenses. That's not the tactic they're going...

Until the Russians have an effective answer for Ukrainian counter battery fire, and can match the combination of drone corrected, GPS guided munitions and GMLRS raining death down on Russia's outmatched / outranged artillery, it's going to remain a really bad problem for Russian troops. Russia...

They're just artillery food. Russia will bunker them in and try to use them as short range turrets, with low accuracy. Ukraine will hunt them from a distance using drone corrected artillery fire, cluster munitions, and GMLRS. I suspect their effectiveness will be extremely minimal and as a...

Canada 🇨🇦 had announced that it will send another $410 million usd to Ukraine. The funding is for... - Expansion of training for Ukrainian troops in Europe. - An Officer exchange program to be hosted this summer in Canada. - Drones and drone technology. - Macro financial aid.

A Ukrainian soldier with a Javelin anti-armor system or an NLAW is FAR more valuable than a Russian T-55 and it's not even close. Considering the Ukrainians have millions of potential soldiers and thousands of modern anti-atmor systems as their disposal, a T-55 MBT is almost useless in modern...

France 🇫🇷 will send another $187 million USD in military aid to Ukraine. While the contents of the package have not yet been released, it's widely speculated that the package will include the following, at a minimum... - SCALP-EG Cruise missiles - 155mm ammunition - Additional AMX-10RC IFVs...

What sticks out to me most about that footage is two things... 1). How old and beat up a lot of the equipment is. Now don't get me wrong, Ukraine is using a lot of old stuff as well, in similar condition, but it's a constant reminder that much of this equipment is Soviet era in nature, because...

More important would be the expedited process of sending Abrams and K2 MBTs to Ukraine so that the Poles can send more of their Leopard 2s and PT-91 Twardys to Ukraine. Additionally, anything the West can do to help Poland speed up the production of Rosomak IFVs, RAK-120 self-propelled mortars...
