Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Capta: Good. It will never be discussed, but it seems like there would be opportunities to transfer nukes to the Poles and ultimately Ukrainians through this system. Poland already has a nuclear weapon sharing agreement as a NATO member which more or less makes Poland a nuclear power. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By R0N: Interestingly I have never listen him, instead I formed my opinions based on getting most of my info from various intel briefs provided to communities of interests I was a member for the last several decade of so. So there was never any need to waste your time, huh?  When the Patriarch of the Russian Orthodox Church is a KGB dude (and insanely wealthy from having the cigarette racket in Russia)...I guess it tends to make you question just what they are doing in Russia. |

Guys we kicked ass, I think we are at about 5k and I’m going to owe some battle swag. Akulas got some stuff, Babas got some stuff, we will pay our debts. To the fucking Russian troll, just stay where you are and don’t snoop around here.
I’ve been on defcom 3 since I got back the first time. My neighbors a ret marine the others a us Marshall, just fucking poke your head round here. It’s country but loaded with game cams and hunting dogs, everyone knows our family and what we do. Anyway, Guys let’s keep it going one more night, announcement tomorrow, if someone drops 2k I’ll give up my most cherished Ukraine possession, given to me years back by a hero who we saw in Mauripol video kick ass. He’s dead so please don’t buy it from me. An Azov police badge pre-dark sun removal (ie before they were forced to remove it) Actually scratch that, not selling it, would be a dishonor. I can and will get guys patches and flags though who threw in the big $$$. Wife says rock on ar15.com  Attached FileFunraiser ends Friday Just a gift I got but everyone here who helps earns a little badge. Not joking up to 70% of gear supplies etc have come from patriots like you! In every American there’s a little Ukrainanian trying to climb out!!!😀  Attached File |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By KaerMorhenResident: Who many Russians will freeze to death or be rendered combat ineffective due to frost bite this Winter? How many thousands and thousands of Russians died due to total lack of basic first aid training, lack of IFAKs, and terrible or nonexistent CASEVAC or MEDEVAC? Things are going to get medieval in the occupied areas this Winter. Whatever food and alcohol existed have all long since been looted. Ukraine should start an aggressive campaign to drop leaflets into Russian held territory inviting them to surrender and telling them how to do so. I think that Ukraine could turn this into a Gulf War scenario where literally tens of thousands of Russians just surrender this winter. I have seen the Ukrainians going pretty hard and some of the intercepted phone calls we've heard make me think that a lot of Russians don't think they have surrender as an option, which isn't great as it means there is probably resistance that otherwise wouldn't exist. I get that there is a lot of hate and no love lost between the two sides, but a win is a win and if the Russians would just give up it would save Ukrainian lives. Ukraine should print the surrender cards on Hershey bar wrappers and drop those. Tell the conscripts there is a lot more where that came from at their luxury pow camps. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Zam18th: I mean, I get the sentiment considering our ties, but Russia put hit squads in Kyiv trying to assassinate and decapitate the government. They had kill lists of regular citizens and civil servants for areas they were trying to occupy. She and her father were legitimate targets, and it isn't remotely a "stoop to their level situation" IMO. ETA Also, if we wanted to send a message it could have, and should have, been done privately or in back channels. Instead they leaked it to NYT and handed Russia a solid piece of propaganda. Smells more like a butthurt underling leaked it or something. Agree 100%. If the US doesn't want them to use those methods, there are other ways to communicate our displeasure. Going straight to US media smacks of this Administration's amateur hour approach to...fucking everything.  Or fuck, maybe we were insisting on "NO DISINTEGRATIONS" for weeks or months before, and just weren't being heard? So just leave off ONE of the line items from one of our aid packages (whoops, no small arms ammo this month!) and let that speak for itself.  Going to the NYT is like..."hey so we're out of touch, but we're also super upset so...take THAT!"

In the next page over on this thread COL Khodarenok says: I would say that on this very thread, we have intercepts of Russians talking to their wives and parents, and the Ukrainians are releasing it for propaganda like they don't give a shit who knows how bad Rus OPSEC is. The Russians can suck, the Ukrainians can be highly motivated, trained, and well equipped by us, the NATO Intel community could have the Russian surfaces and gaps mapped out to the gnats ass so any junior 2LT knows where to go, and where not to.. These are not mutually exclusive. Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By CharlieR: Originally Posted By Ryan_Scott: It’s amazing how little credit the Russians give the Ukrainians.

How long would the armed formations of the south-east hold out if a qualitatively different enemy entered the war, if a hail of modern aviation weapons — anti-bunker bombs, laser- and satellite-guided bombs, air- and sea-based cruise missiles showered down on LNR and DNR formations and units? If the order-of-battle were attacked by the newest armored combat vehicles and artillery? And the action of all this military splendor was supported by American intelligence of all types which has not even a close analogue in the world? And the planes of the volunteers of the West chase after every BMP, gun, and tank of the units and formations of the south-east, separately bomb every trench, firing point, and mortar position taken. And destroy the target with margins commensurate with the size of the trench itself.

These are not mutually exclusive. I am telling everyone here from the bottom of my heart that westerns have played a role in strategy but it ain’t guys on government payrolls, and they literally just ask questions after a plan is spitballed. There is no master control hive of NATO generals moving chess pieces here. We give intelligence but Ukrainian military and the few political sin the know are not trusted FOR GOOD REASONS have you seen us pull any kind of large scale anything without someone leaking it for money or fame or promises of future promotion. if you were General Zeluzny… would you trust your American colleague you just met to know about your supplies? Troop numbers? Locations or even operational details? Are you nuts? Add NATO generals and Allies who work with other Allies? Does NATO keep secrets? Dam Son turn on the TV. How much would Russia pay or promise or what wouldn’t they do to get that kind of access? They wouldn’t threaten to expose your presidents finances? Polonium your tea? Kidnap your stupid teenage daughter? It’s pre ww2 level opsec going on. It’s compartmrntslized like a giant intelligence op. Southern commanders don’t know about what’s going on or intended in north. I’m not sure the president even gets involved because he knows his entourage is target numero uno. He just gives general permissions, goals, and limitations. then They kick all but say 10 guys out and that’s it. We might give a how the usa would do it with some imaginary us force, they might take parts of that but it’s 10 smart trust worthy guys and maybe 2 are westerners of proven value in strategy. Likely Retired. I can put some names out there but won’t. I don’t know for sure. And there are some it modeling geeks but they are Ukrainians or adopted Ukrainians. |

So I had very little familiarity with the entire site before the war started in February. I hung out in the Ham radio sub forum some and still do, but this particular thread has occupied almost all of my time on this site. I have only strayed over to other threads only a little bit, and the other war threads have really shocked and disappointed me. Almost as much as seeing Tucker Carlson turn in to a idiotic Putin lover. I could not believe the Ukraine hatred in so much of the conservative community. Even some relatives were and are on the Russian side. Which astounds me. But I guess I can just be astounded, but it is what it is. I recognize your call sign from a ham radio forum. In one of the sub forums, the level of tardation approaches that found in the UKR threads of which you speak. Some of us over there aren't afraid to call a spade a fucking shovel either. |

It was too scary to take prisoners to many fake soldiers in uniform killing guys in Kyiv and no way to store prisoners really unless in the city. Bucha Yrpin was a no holds barred cage death match. No medicine for your wounded, going to give it to the guys with sandy shovels when you just passed a mass civilian grave? I’m glad it’s toned down.because optics are a thing and they don’t need some nanny in the Oval Office saying no guns for you because you rough up your prisoners. After Mauripol and the death of all the wounded hero’s in that cleanup op, plus the dick cutting video, plus the rapes of children on video, I was worried we see some line them up and shoot them stuff, I get it believe me, the temptation and anger only grows exponentially once you see it but I’m glad to see the high road by our guys. |

I think we don’t want them hitting Crimea for real. That’s the real issue. We want to give Russia Crimea as a consolation prize, I bet my ass the diplos are saying that. It’s absurd because 10 years from now they attack and next year they start drilling that sweet natural gas bubble in the Azov so sea. Screw that it ends when they leave or die. Only way, too many died to do anything less. Hence why only 200,000 small arms rounds are shipped each time. Think about that hoe far does 200,000 small arms munitions go? |

Last guy in the line moved out behind at the right time.... Next guy moved at the right time, kept an L shape, still spread out, the guy out on the end transitioned back to overwatch the original threat vector once the guys closer had the orcs on the ground and 2 others had the hatches covered. That's a good squad there. Wasn't rehearsed either; the accents matched as well. |

They literally didn’t believe a war was happening back in March until they received a call from family in Ukraine sharing how their kids fled Kiev on the first night of attacks. I have Russian friends. Some are pro-Russia, and others aren’t. I don’t hate any of them. Just the orcs.  They’ve just been fed Russian lies all of their lives. In fact when I was a kid I would just say I was Russian because whenever I’d say I was Ukrainian, people would just respond with “isn’t that the same thing as Russian?” This war, as horrific as it is, has opened the eyes of many to the truth. Yes, there’s a lot of bullshit, but Ukraine is real. Its people and culture are real and unique. They just wanna to raise their families in peace, to prosper, and to be left alone.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By warp_foo: No, I'm not missing anything. I'm saying stop posting ghost page and post something of value. m Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By warp_foo: Originally Posted By RolandofGilead: Originally Posted By warp_foo: Originally Posted By Scratch45: Ghost of Kiev page.

It happens to a lot of very long threads here, the next page appears but there's nothing on it until someone posts again, hence the "ghost page" post on every new page to get previous posts to appear. m There has been at least 2,000 “ghost page” posts in this thread. At 50 posts per page, we have had to scroll through at leadt 40 full pages worth of useless “ghost page” posts so far.. perhaps 60 pages worth with repetition and replies to stop. It really does need to stop. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By sq40: Ukraine should print the surrender cards on Hershey bar wrappers and drop those. Tell the conscripts there is a lot more where that came from at their luxury pow camps. During the Vietnam War, they issued surrender message-printed bags. The AR mags could be sealed in the waterproof bags. The idea was they’d be discarded everywhere and then the VC and NVA could find them. They are still available from some surplus vendors. I mainly use GI 20rd mags, I think I’ll actually get some of these. ;)  Attached File |

Mila didn’t like the idea because she’s a give and not expect person but I understand the desire for war memorabilia. I got mine over there but it means way more than it’s worth in $$$. So we’re gathering. Her mom comes first real snow the dacha gets closed up and grandpa drinks so she heads here.

Don't know if my donation qualifies for anything, if it does it will be a great current affairs and Ukrainian history discussion with my kids (7 and 10), if not I expect nothing and I will educate them another way My daughter has a US Flag flown over the Gulf in a F-22 before they were officially deployed there and history is her favorite subject (with the teacher mostly being me), she knows lots about the Revolution, War of 1812, Napoleonic Wars, Trafalgar, WWI, WWII etc. |

You do get one respawn, but its on a very long timer and you might have problems if you did naughty things in your first life. |

Money should not be the question to solve the russian problem once and for all. If they fail because of lack of our support then our children will have to finish the task but at much grater cost EXACTLY!!!! Ive said it before, I don’t want my two boys fighting Russians and Chinese in Poland or Guam 10 years from now. Russia gets away from this intact, the cancer will grow back, maybe a little more slowly. But grow it will. Better defeat one now than worry about the other. Together China and Russia presented a big problem for us long term. We can make a war with China unlikely and winnable. |

He also understood the dynamics and responses in the west - namely calling Lend Lease - indicating he knew that the west would take this as an existential issue and put western production might behind Ukraine |

The only thing that makes me unhappy about this thread is that I don't have time to read more than every third page.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By evilyoda: Someone kill or overthrow putin yet? Sadly, no. With that said, not sure things will get better, to the right of that far too long overdue event, before it gets worse. Especially for the average Russian and Ukrainian person. The Russians seem more than capable of going even lower than where they are now. |
