Yes and apparently certain cruise missiles are getting through. KH-22 and KH-47 are getting through.

'Among the missiles that were fired were 28 Kh-101 and Kh-555 air-launched cruise missiles, 20 Kalibr sea-launched cruise missiles, 13 S-300 surface-to-air missiles, eight Kh-31P and 6 –Kh-59 guided missiles, six Kh-47 Kinzhal missiles, and six Kh-22 missiles, according to Ukrainian state media."

1. I certainly understand how it would be easy to get disillusioned with the U.S. gov.
2. Well, growing up, my default assumption was the Russians would nuke us, so that part doesn't bother me at all.

I know you were trying to be honest with the first part “that has no impact….”

But that is the problem and where a lot of people are dead wrong or just choose to be ignorant about.

You’re welcome in this thread unless you start trolling. Thats the mods choice and obvious when many people have done it.

Most people on this thread wanting to know about or talk about the war are anti-Russian or pro-Ukraine or both. I tend to stay out of the echo chamber threads on the reverse which are all over arfcom being led by the (legit) Q thread contributors, the “Release the Kraken” contributors, and several other “forgettable causes” contributors. Echo chambers are not exclusive.

Stay as long as you want and ask real questions and we can engage in an actual conversion.

I think the argument is that we shouldn't have demanded the Japanese withdraw from China and shouldn't have cut off their oil. In that case they wouldn't have needed oil from the Dutch East Indies and would have never attacked Pearl Harbor. They would have had plenty to deal with managing east China as a colony. The Philippines would have become independent soon, anyway.

The counterargument is that we would have then faced and industrial autocratic, militarized Japan with China's personnel resources. Who knows how that situation would develop?

Why do I keep having fantasies about the UA pulling out of Bahkmut and allowing a large concentration of RU troops to flood in, get settled for a bit and then learning that a half dozen MOAB’s  “accidentally” were included in a recent arms shipment!

Talk about a soul crushing development for the few remaining RU infantry, and it would decimate Wagner.

Not going to happen but the thought of it makes me happy.

That won't happen but it's a fun visual.

What I keep coming back to is the idea that Bakhmut is a trap. Get Russia bogged down with a huge force tied up in urban combat.

Recent aid promises have included a lot of mine clearing vehicles and also AVLBs. My hope is that these are intended for a fast armored push across the Bakhmutovka river above and below the attempted encirclement, meeting up behind them. M60 AVLB spans 60 feet, and the river is a fair bit less than that in narrow spots.

Russia would be unable to salvage their spearhead as it is difficult to quickly fall back when actively engaged in urban combat, and the Bakhmutovka is at their backs. They lose the whole force, not just pieces like with the Kharkiv and Kherson front collapses.

Wondering about the Kinzhal missile.  Seems like a bad one.  How difficult is it going to be for Russia to build these things?  Seem generally simple enough except maybe for the guidance package. Looks like a buttload of solid rocket fuel in a tube with a bomb on one end, so not terribly expensive for the motor and the bomb. Can they produce guidance packages with enough quantity and quality to be a serious ongoing threat?

With Yevgeny Prigozhin now saying today that Putin himself has cut him off from all support,  with Wagner on the verge of taking Bahkmut. What does Wagner do?  is putin now going to move in elite Russian forces to finish off the Ukrainian defenders of Bahkmut and claim victory? What will Yevgeny Prigozhin do if that's the case? I don't see many options on the table for wagner.. but seems that things are about to get very interesting.

i would add -- the uninformed / misinformed 'Tucker Carlson' type 'conservative'.  basically the 'R' version of the low IQ Dem voter who watches MSNBC / CNN The View all day and doesn't get past that info stream.  these quasi-conservatives see ANYTHING that the current president supports and are IMMEDIATELY and vehemently against it without seeking out deeper understanding

they are a pretty vocal subset -- closely related to #1 above but distinct enough to mention -- because they likely supported GWOT, GW1, etc

So they have some edit audio of him saying some stuff? Wow

Seems strange that would be his first option when he did stuff like this

Trump, in 2018, had approved the $47 million sale of 210 Javelin anti-tank missiles and 37 launchers to Ukraine -- the first lethal military assistance provided to Ukraine by the U.S. in its fight against Russian-supported separatists since fighting began in 2014. Zelenskyy told Trump in the 2019 phone call that his government was "almost ready to buy more Javelins from the United States for defense purposes," according to a readout of the call.

If they did, that video and info would be everywhere, geo located and spread on Russian and Wagner channels like you would not believe.  Then confirmed on Ukrainian and Western media as a real newsworthy talking point.

Russian ISR is worse than we thought, they can't even hit a HIMARS that is actively firing at their positions.  What missiles the Ukrainians don't shoot down end up hitting apartments and swamps.  If they hit something important like a shipment of tanks, we would hear about it.

I don't think that is likely. (I can't say it didn't happen, right?) The Russians strikes have hit infrastructure including, early on, some vehicle repair facilities, but we haven't heard about them hitting ANYTHING moving like a train, and we haven't had many videos of Russian strikes with secondary explosions and what not. Surely the Ukrainians, even if prompted by the West, have taken measures to make it difficult to locate and hit a significant vehicle park with the most important vehicles they have received since HIMARs.

We'll see.

The abnormal silence from Ukraine is unusual and the fact they admitted there air defense was "sub-par" this attack was a new admission... I'm still speculating, but thise two facts tell me something big was taken out

No it would not, the places the armor comes across the border and are staged are not well known to even Ukrainian citizens because of that,  and due to some citizens being spys, alot is done in the dark and snuck across at odd times and to clandestine areas...so no one would be there to film.

They just won't "parade" a large convoy of a Patriot system down the main highway to a well known warehouse.  This shit is highly done in a way that's not well known..but if russia has turned someone higher up, then yes they will know when and where a delivery will be.. the time of the missile strike was also not normal and was well covered as being at an odd time..  well weapon deliverys are made at night and at odd times in the dark.  So put 2 and 2 together and you know why Russia struck with a large number of kinzhals and at the strange time they did so.

I would also bet that the Western aid coming across the border into Ukraine would most likely have some serious anti missile capabilities in place to protect the rear areas before this aid gets distributed to the front.

You may have a point here.
The "broken spirits" are 99% conservatives who feel betrayed and living in an enemy country while the "nuke panickers" are probably mostly democrats who are instinctively pacifist weaklings who abhor the concept of defense in general.

As a lifelong conservative, I can understand both but feel the "nuke panickers" are more consistent and honest.

The people who actually knew the guy are probably still out there around Bahkmut, maybe dead themselves and the guys family is probably not on tweeter or wherever looking at kill-vids. Not everyone fighting is a well known and famous internet personality or war footage poster.
