I make no bones about it. We're self interested and it's in our self interest for Russia 🇷🇺 to pay a deep price for their mistep in Ukraine 🇺🇦. Putin miscalculated and we're getting a very, very cheap price to twist the knife against Russia in response to that mistake. We'd be acting against...

Exactly. Choosing sides and embracing them is a fundamental part of life. We're all self-interested in the success of the people and causes we care about and we should expect nothing less than us wanting our side to win, at the expense of something someone else. It's a part of the animal...

In the short term? Nobody. Realistically, North America, as long as the United States and Canada work together as closely as we do, is essentially a fortress. There isn't a (non-American) invading force on the planet that could invade, successfully re-supply and logistically support the invasion...

Sucks to suck! Russian propaganda tools being liquidated is good for everyone!

We're all self-interested. Ukraine's existence as a nation and an identity is at stake. Of course they're ready and willing to shed their blood in defense of their own survival. As long as they're willing to fight and bleed, we're willing o give them to tools and support they need to push back...

BMP 3 is actually a very asthetically pleasing vehicle. It's ALMOST a shame when javelins, NLAWs and artillery destroy them en masse. I always wish the Russian crew could burn and the vehicle could be salvaged. Unfortunately, it rarely works like that. Definitely one of Russia's better pieces...

As Europe implements its plan to produce 1 million artillery shells for Ukraine over the next year, we're starting to see how that's going to play out. It was announced today that German arms producer Rheinmetall will produce 600,000 of those artillery shells in the coming 12 months. The...

Do you ever wonder what the United States has donated / committed to Ukraine over the last year, since the outbreak of the war? They've committed about $35.7 Billion worth of military supplies, from a combination of Presidential "Drawdown Authority" from their existing stocks and USAI, which...

It wasn't well publicized (at least internationally) but Spain 🇪🇸 has delivered 20 M113 APCs to Ukraine at the end of April, along with the 10 Leopard 2A4 tanks that were made highly public. Every little bit counts and while the M113 is older and is being replaced across NATO, it's still very...

Prigozhin losing his mind tonight as he stands over a slew of Wagner corpses, ranting over Wagner's 70% ammo shortage in Bakhmut. He directs the rant directly at Gerasimov and Shoigu and is clearly concerned about Ukraine's upcoming counter offensive. He claims that Ukraine is beginning their...

This is a war about NATO calling Putin's bluff. The Kremlin made 5 horrendous calculations when they invaded Ukraine. 1. That Ukraine's army was still stuck in 2014 and that the substantial training that West had provided Ukraine between 2014-2022 wasn't near enough to blunt the Russian...

Ummmmm... Weirdest (and most misinformed) take ever. - Both the German and American donated Patriot systems are actively online and working in Ukraine. We suspect the Dutch launchers are as well, but we're waiting on confirmation. Ukraine is a large country. Two batteries and a couple launchers...

As expected, the United States 🇺🇸 has announced another $300 Million defense package for Ukraine. The contents are as follows... - Unknown number and type of additional 155mm howitzers. - Additional GMLRS for HIMARS. - Additional 155mm artillery shells. - Additional 60mm, 81mm and 120mm...

Lol Russia 🇷🇺... What an incompetent country of people. 433 days into their war and they're actually losing more ground than they're gaining. In January they controlled 16% of Ukraine. They now control 15% of Ukraine 4 months later, and it's cost them tens of thousands of soldiers and...

You have to realize that Russians have S-400 air defence systems near the border (probably some in Ukraine as well). They have a range greater than 250km, which means that Russian bombers can fire missiles from well inside Russia, fully protected by their air defense envelope, and Ukrainian...

If I could wave a magic wand and send you guys 5 things, in a reasonable quantity, for the upcoming offensive, it would be the following. 1. 200 cruise missiles of varying types, to be used for strategic strikes while advancing. 2. 50 mobile air defense systems such as American made Avengers...

The F-16 would only be a marginal upgrade on the Mig-29 because of it's weapon's suite and the radar capability it possesses. Even if the West sent, let's say 24 of then to Ukraine, they would be a at the same risk of being hit by Russian air defense as Ukraine's current Migs and Sukhois. They...

Monthly reminder of what equipment Ukraine will have available for their summer counter offensive. As we don't know what equipment in their existing inventory they're going to be able to free up from the defensive lines, I'm only going to include equipment being provided to them by their allies...

Per leaked U.S. documents, despite denying they would do so, Greece 🇬🇷 is preparing to send 5 Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine. We'll see if this commitment actually takes place, but the leaked documents seem to say it's true. If the Greeks do send 5 Leopard 2's, the amount pledged to Ukraine would...

Australia 🇦🇺 is selling Ukraine 50 additional RWS (automated, vehicle mounted weapons). They will come with spare parts and ammunition, in a deal worth $41 million USD. RWS is a powerful weapon that can be mounted on APCs and HMMWVs and chews uo infantry and light armored vehicles. This is...
