War

Biden sometimes misspeaks, stumbles on what he is saying, but what he is saying is worth listening to...it is sometimes inspiring, he's a good man doing what he thinks is the right thing to do...all trump ever inspired me to do was wish he had never been elected

He is a life long stutterer, who over came his disability for the most part, his stumbles in speech are related to that, he has helped many people with the same issue. His mind is working just fine and he's sharp as a tack, he has more experience with the cold war and it's rules than anybody else. He is wise and compassionate, takes his job seriously and is tough enough to deal with Vlad without getting us all killed.

Everybody knows at this point Ukraine can do the job and that high tech can plug any gaps in air defense or tactical air support. He knows what is being done and what preparations are being made by the Ukrainians and they would be mad not to be building a big army to do the job of kicking Vlad's ass good this summer. They can and will out number the troops he has available and bleed the fucker white, until he let's go or someone shoots him in the head. It is a once in a lifetime opportunity to get Crimea back and vanquish Vlad. Like the Ukrainian guy said, summer is Guerilla war season and they will have millions of reservist who will be well trained and armed by then, operating in their rear, if they are still in Ukraine. In a month of victories, the Ukrainians will settle for nothing less than total victory in their own land.

it could be a good time to collect some more russian action figure accessories...grab every retreating tank they can, and immediately send them to Crimea to give putin's army as much hell on earth as they can produce

I think they have people who can drive and repair them close by when they can get them, they have got quite a few already.

I've read a few articles that the commander was run over and got his legs crushed but survived. Belaurus posted video of him being loaded into an ambulance.

His name was Medvechek. The group had 1/2 its men killed and a survivor took it out on Medvechek.

yeah, i saw that it was a rerun of that story, i thought at first that it was a new general getting fragged by his own men...disappointed....

Even the Swedes are looking at this as an investment in the future by bleeding Vlad white and breaking him economically. This war will remove the Russian threat from Sweden's borders for a long time. I wouldn't be surprised if Norway was helping out here, they are extremely wealthy these days. Sweden makes awesome weapon systems that many NATO members countries are using and they will expect to sell a lot of quality arms to Ukraine and eastern European NATO members in the future.

Those big drones that they use to bomb tanks with can also carry food and ammo into besieged cities 70lbs at a time. So if they had a hundred of them making a dozen trips a night, they could move some essential freight into some surrounded cities at night. Ten drones delivering ten 70 pound loads a night equals 7,000 pounds of MRES, medical supplies and bullets a night, a hundred such drones could bring in some serous tonnage every night. Others could clear a path of any AA fire on the ground that interfered with operations by using fear.

However it might make more sense to take those hundred drones and bomb the shit out of the artillery, provided they can reach it. The bomber equipped drones can do both deliver supplies and bomb targets. They shouldn't have too much of an issue to gather the drones from retailers and warehouses in North America and the EU, they are a big farming place so they might have had a few themselves and a local dealer. As I said they can be almost instantly converted to war after the first proto type is made and machine shops all over the EU can make bomb release assemblies and bombs, if required. There is a big volunteer logistic supply train that reaches into Europe and unlike weapons, they are completely unencumbered by red tape. There must be hundreds in the EU alone, so I think they can get a hundred of them or more no problem and conversion would take a couple of experienced guys a couple of hours. Their drone organization is full of engineers and programmers, who can make any modifications required to the firmware or other aspects of the big agri-drones.

So bombers, flying bombs and transports too, they can be useful, especially if the Russians can't deal with them.

My Swedish medical penpal has been away and back in the reserve forces since the war started. He just got back after a week gone. Seems they are not taking things lightly as he has an important position where he works.

Could be a big problem for you': Security analyst's warning to Putin

CNN's Peter Bergen reviews the implication of the Soviet Union's invasion of and withdrawal from Afghanistan, and how it could draw parallels to Russia's war in Ukraine today.

Similar laws will be passed by many countries and America will pay itself back for the aid too. Russia is going to end up footing the entire economic costs of this war and reconstruction of Ukraine, down to the last dime.

New Bill To Use Seized Assets Of Russian Oligarchs To Help Rebuild Ukraine

Scholz told when Germany can become independent from Russian oil
Germany can become independent from coal and oil imports from Russia as early as this year, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said .
"We will try this year to get away (from dependence) on Russian imports of coal and oil, and we will prepare technical conditions so that we can become independent of gas imports as quickly as possible," he said in an interview with ARD television.
Earlier, Economics Minister Robert Habek said that the German economy could become independent of Russian gas by the summer of 2024, dependence on coal and oil supplies would be significantly reduced by the summer of this year.

Scholz also acknowledged that EU countries now depend on Russian supplies. "The truth is that we will initiate a significant economic crisis if we do this (the EU countries will refuse energy carriers of the Russian Federation). Therefore, we have done everything to free ourselves from this dependence. I think this is the right way," he added.

After the start of the Russian military special operation in Ukraine and a new round of Western sanctions in Europe , calls to reduce dependence on Russian energy resources began to sound louder. The market reacted to this with a sharp jump - up to almost four thousand dollars per thousand cubic meters.

As Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak noted , even a simple discussion of Europe's refusal of Russian energy carriers is negative for the market. According to him, without Russian gas supplies, the world will collapse, and prices will be unpredictable.

On March 23, President Vladimir Putin announced the transfer of payments for gas from unfriendly countries into rubles and instructed the Central Bank and the government to determine the procedure for such transactions. At the same time, he stressed that Russia will continue to supply gas in accordance with existing contracts, as it values its reputation.

Europe will help Russia build a new gas pipeline to China
There are already sufficient grounds to assume that Europe will indeed gradually abandon Russian energy carriers. Only the rates and volumes of failure can be discussed, which will depend on the new level of mutual trust that has been formed. In any case, there are no quick solutions here, even in the oil sector - it takes months and somewhere years. And in the gas sector we are talking about years and decades. In turn, our country will reorient its oil and gas supplies to the east.

I was going to leave it at that but this one is too good. That Hunter, The Spy That _________

The son of the President of the United States oversaw the development of bioweapons in Ukraine
Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov, head of the Radiation, Chemical and Biological Defense Forces of the Russian Armed Forces , said that the son of the current US president was involved in financing the development of bioweapons in Ukraine. To be honest, the news surprised me.

Hunter Biden ? Really? A heavy drug addict, a drunken alcoholic, a convinced bribe taker, a modern artist, a sick pervert in his head? Yes, he does look half crazy. It is doubtful that he distinguishes the left hand from the right. What serious matters can he be trusted with?

Let's talk about a question about the US and NATO's honesty....

Velshi: When Biden Said Putin 'Cannot Remain In Power', He Was Right. And He Should Stick To It


America is backsliding on democracy, largely because of the after effects of Donald Trump’s undermining and denial of the outcome of the 2020 election. But democratic backsliding is the norm all over the world today. According to a report by the International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance, the number of countries moving in an authoritarian direction in 2020 outnumbered those going in a democratic direction. So when President Joe Biden said Vladimir Putin “cannot remain in power” he was right. And he should stick by it.
