I do have serious concerns trump will draw back us forces due to whatever compromising material is out there. I tend to believe putin has material that will allow Ivanka to escape her pre-nup and take trump to the cleaners.

I know, they’re gathering like witches at black masses!

If this ends with russia sending the US cheap oil and american partisans blowing up refineries, I am going to need a new bingo card.

I hope this is a thunder run with good support troops following in to fill the gap. A big wedge here crimps russian logistics as it grows.

That’s a big point… when you degrade a battalion, you degrade (generally) the line troops. There are support troops, admin, logistics, etc associated that are not generally killed. A truck strike like those vehicles gets everyone.

He can change! He’s gonna take me to Paris, he said so!

Frustrated he’s adding mid-content ads, but still solid material.

That was a very impressive blast for that size of a package.

No, completely beyond the environment. There’s nothing out there.

…please watch this twice as there are two ships. Thank you.

Well the front fell off.

They need to immediately tow this out of the environment.

Encouraging, russia has spent their inheritance almost completely.

Assuming europe can step up for the us diminishing in the world, soon they’ll be counting golf cart storage yards and motorcycle dealerships.

Perun has great economical and statistical analysis for defense, it’s worth it to go through his posts since the Ukraine War started up again in 2022.

You can get anything you want

At Vladimir’s restaurant.

This says rubles but I believe this is converted to USD?

They don’t even go off in the tubes.

I don’t agree with your assessment of how things will shake out. The primary concern of north and south korea fighting in ukraine (I need a new bingo card) is that the fighting could trigger N Korean attacks at the boarder, which will destabilize the region, and allow China’s neighbors to step up their military positions for legitimate cause.

China’s window to attack Taiwan was after Russia took Ukraine - now they are probably recalculating their plans and building a billion drones. That should hold for a while.

My largest concern is trump winning, and europe finding an excuse to trigger article 5, dragging us all into war, so that trump either abandons the alliance and diminishes the US world standing (or biden if he refuses to aid). European nations know ukraine isn’t the first and isn’t the last, and they might as well fight a crippled russia when the US might intercede. If the US did blink, we’d see a loss of allies and Taiwan might as well assume they’re gone in 30 years, as Europe would ignore US aid requests.

Begun, the drone wars have.

Europe also has the frightening option to attempt to trigger article 5 before January, and make the US choose whether to honor the commitment or leave Europe. It sounds nuts, but if you know you have yo fight russia eventually, it’s bold but could work.
