Over the next week we're really going to see what Ukraine can do defensively. Russia is finally going to have their shit together and will be fighting an organized, largely single front effort, with fresh troops. Furthermore, the supply line problems that afflicted them in their northern and...

USA has announced another $300 million in military assistance to Ukraine. The latest package includes laser guided rocket systems, drones, ammunition, medical supplies, night vision systems and undisclosed armored vehicles. There is a also talk of the USA deploying hundreds of Abrams tanks to...

Nobody has an ounce of sympathy for the Wagner Group. If the Ukrainian Special Forces find them and want to hang them from trees, slit them from belly button to asshole, and let their insides pour out of them, not a single person in the civilized world will blink, nor take any pity on them. They...

Per NBC, in person talks between Russia and Ukraine will continue on Monday, hosted by Turkey. Not expecting a whole lot to come of these talks. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/live-blog/ukraine-russia-war-live-updates-biden-denounces-putin-he-ends-n1293242#ncrd1293291

This would be the perfect time for all countries that have ongoing issues with Russia to start to kick the hornet's nest. Make the Russian public squirm with their sons fighting a multi-front war. Keep bleeding the Russian war coffers and alienate them from the rest of the civilized world. In...

Wars are full of crime. Horrible things are done in war. It's the reaction of desperation. Russians shelling civilians. War crimes. Russians using white phosphorous and thermobaric weapons. War crimes. Russians looting Ukrainian stores and homes. War crimes. Ukrainians maming, degrading and...

There is no need to justify it. It's not justifiable at all. It's simply the reality of war when you target civilians and shell communities. Eventually, you're not going to be treated well in return. It's awful, but war is awful. Those Russian soldiers will go back home to their families via...

Truthfully, they're second rate, even for that purpose.

I don't get caught up in name calling, narrative creation or linguistic gymnastics. There are winners and losers in this world. Period. It's in the West's long term best interest to bleed Russia out and ruin them economically. The result will be them leaving this invasion as a loser, regardless...

This is such a silly take. Anyone who has ever been to war, trained for war, or who understands geopolitical conflict, understands that there are only winners and losers. The winners do what it takes to win. Russia made a major tactical error in invading Ukraine and assuming that the wealthy...

Please understand me. Western people are not saints. I am not taking a moral high ground. This world is about winners and losers. That's it. I'm not suggesting what the Ukrainians are doing to Russian POW's is right. Only that it's the natural state of human order. We're awful to each other...

I agree with that summary entirely. Which is why the people must be made to suffer in line with their leadership. If they are going to be supportive of the effort, my hope is that their loved ones are sent to Ukraine to be mamed and killed. If it's at the hands of a Ukrainian, using a Western...

I suspect that they have a quite a few more operational pieces of armor, despite their 3rd world maintenance practices. All the more more reason for the West to ramp up their production and distribution of anti-tank weapons that open up the Russian armor like tin cans.

I have no doubt it's complicated, but the people must be made to suffer for the sins of the leadership that they are not brave enough to dispose of. Let us hope that the slaughter of the sons of Russia continues to be significant, and the continued evisceration of their economy, personal...

They need to be absolutely vicious and ruthless in retaking Kherson. Take no prisoners. Cause them to flee, or shoot them dead in the streets. Terrorize them with drone strikes. Target infantry in their sleep. The counter offensive needs to be brutal and terrifying. Ideally, as the Ukrainians...

Everybody steps all over the Geneva convention in war. War is not about good guys and bad guys, it's about winners and losers and those that are willing to do what it requires to win. The rest it just outside politics. I disagree with your take on conscripts. They will aboalutely follow the...

People probably don't want to hear this, but a superior tactic for breaking the morale of enemy combatants that are conscripts, is putting fear into their minds, that should they be caught, it's going to be terrible for them. When you are already psychologically terrified and don't want to be...

The simple reality of war is that whether "right", or not, if you invade your neighbour, commit war crimes towards their civilian population, indiscriminately shell civilians and starve them, purposely bomb areas harboring children, loot their stores and homes, and use white phosphorus and...

I'll be curious to see if Ukraine has enough resources to the Northeast of Kyiv to break the siege. Don't want to see Mariupol 2.0. Despite the pro-Ukrainian propaganda, they're still deeply outgunned in numerous areas and the Russians are very much in control in the Chernihiv, Mariupol and...

It's a poverty country in so many ways. How, outside of sheer incompetence, does Russia, a country with vast resources and 146 million people, have a lesser GDP than friggen Canada (36 million people)? The ruble is, essentially, Monopoly money. What a disaster.
