Jim Cowan Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 Does Putin really think he can ramp up the murders to get onto the same plane as Stalin? Really? Putin is garbage, does he really think that tens of thousands of ruthless murders of innocent people will get him up there on the pantheon with Stalin? There's no chance. At his current murder rate Putin would have to live for about 400 years. But we are blessed here to have breathless daily updates from a Putinchik about how the murders are progressing. These are not military exercises. They are murders. War crimes. Punishable by death. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digitalpigsmuggler Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 Ukraine is not taking back Crimea anytime soon. Ukraine feel very entitled to planes, tax payer money, etc. Quote We will get the F-16.

Based on some of the leaked documents, it sounds like we're more concerned about Ukraine being able to keep up a force than we are with Russia, which is believed to be larger today than it was when this war started. That said, once conscription starts hitting more of your urban population (Putin's non-base, if you will), things could get interesting.

ewsieg Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 I know I'll sound like a Russian agent by posting this, but this is exactly why 'just give them anything they want for as long as they can fight' has it's drawbacks. I want them to win, but let's not pretend there are no risks involved for us and our allies. https://news.yahoo.com/russian-jet-almost-shot-down-135537698.html I consider myself as a bit of a news junkie, odd to me that I'm just seeing this now.

We need to get a 'state run media' insignia for you. I simply stated that they were leaked, I did not say whistleblower. Leaking documents does not translate to whistleblower. As for modified, I'm absolutely confident enemies of the state modified some to blur the lines of what is and is not real. There is legitimate reporting, mostly out of European media as US media is still all 'Rah rah, war is great!', that has talked about concerns out of Ukraine in recruiting more folks even before the leaked documents were found.

digitalpigsmuggler Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 A lot pundits think the Ukraine offensive has already began. Ukraine’s Leopard, Challenger Tanks ‘Punctured’ By Rasputista As Kyiv’s Counteroffensive Gets Stuck In The Mud https://eurasiantimes.com/ukraines-leopard-challenger-tanks-punctured-by-rasputista-as-kyivs-counteroffensive-gets-stuck-in-the-mud/ Quote Videos posted between April 7 and April 10 on various social media platforms showed Ukrainian armor either trapped in the slushy ground or damaged, or both, in locations allegedly close to Bakhmut and Donbas, where intense combat had been raging for several weeks. Quote the Ukrainian artillery brigade is barely moving forward, halted not by fierce Russian attacks but rather by a foe that is no less tenacious: the thick mud of central Ukraine, according to a recently published report in The New York Times. Currently, vehicle movement and artillery fire are frequent along Kyiv’s front lines, and explosions frequently hit important Russian sites in occupied territory.

digitalpigsmuggler Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 (edited) F-16 Fighters ‘Sitting Ducks’ For Russian Missiles; US Air Force Pilot Says Quote With Ukraine constantly pushing for F-16 fighter jets, military officials and analysts in the West have expressed their reservations. Besides the apparent fear of escalation with Russia, there is concern that these aircraft might actually become sitting ducks for Russian missiles. Quote air warfare expert has noted that if Ukraine ever receives F-16 fighters from the US, the aircraft may not be very durable. The F-16 needs specially constructed airbases since it is so delicate, and Russia may be able to locate and attack those locations. Quote the Russian and Ukrainian air bases and airfields are primarily primitive and unsuitable for the F-16 Fighting Falcon or some other Western fighters. https://eurasiantimes.com/f-16-fighters-jet-sitting-ducks-for-russian-missiles-us-air-force/ Edited May 3, 2023 by digitalpigsmuggler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
