I saw several posting yesterday that inferred the Ukrainians were out of TB-2's due to attrition in the air. Anyone seen any updates or info on what their status is and how many Turkey can resupply? I would love to see the US provide Reapers and Switchblades. I'm shocked we haven't had that up and running by now?

That's unfortunate. When you only have so many resources, it's hard to mass those resources in sufficient quantity to really count without putting somewhere else at risk. My hope is that as we continue to provide weapons and intel, they are able to turn the tide before a major humanitarian disaster occurs. Ukraine needs more than just individual weapons. They need things that can destroy an armored column from afar. |

I carried a camera to war zones, and I wrote about what I saw. I made my travel money working in the blue-collar trades. WHY I was there had nothing to do with money, although I sometimes got paid for the pictures that I took and the things that I wrote. I never considered myself a "professional" writer or photographer, although lots of people were impressed with the quality of my work. |

Can we get a petition going on Twitter to encourage Elon to quickly develop and build a loitering hunter/killer drone swarm that can be launched by the thousands from a semi truck/trailer. Could be a market for it.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Auto5guy: Mass surrender of the opposing side is the best possible outcome on the battlefield. They should do everything possible to facilitate that. Kuhndog is a thousand percent correct. Executing POW'S undermines that. Hell even the strapped to a pole bare ass whipped with a belt videos that have come out undermine that. "We've got hot food to feed you. A warm place to sleep. We don't blame you for Putin's evil. We'll treat you nice and listen to your tale of woe." Is EXACTLY the message Ukraine needs to send to Russian soldiers Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Auto5guy: Originally Posted By Kuhndog: Additionally, rooskies are surrendering quite a bit.

We don't blame you for Putin's evil. We'll treat you nice and listen to your tale of woe." Is EXACTLY the message Ukraine needs to send to Russian soldiers I totally understand that line of thinking and it stands to reason in a war with no choice of engaging. As in if you are already in with no chance to get out. On the other hand, with Russia desperately seeking mercenaries and volunteers from amongst their populous and the world there is another line of thinking that has validity. Say you are a poor young man living in bumblefuck Russia and you had the chance to go to war, bring back trophies , perhaps find glory, have adventure, and kill the westerners that had kept you down. You know that worst case is you are killed, but that as long as you avoided that, then your two most likely outcomes were glory and your dreams coming true, or capture and eventual return to the same place you are now. Does not sound like a terrible gig for someone with few options. Turn the tables and say three outcomes are equally as likely. You are 1- KIA, 2- you find the battlefield glory you seek, or 3- you are captured, strung up against a tree, tortured, humiliated, and left to freeze to death and be eaten by dogs. I think I would just stay in my shithole village. |

Is EXACTLY the message Ukraine needs to send to Russian soldiers I hope the Ukrainians can manage to remember this. Soldiers who know that their prisoners are being executed will fight for their lives, and they will fight for revenge. I believe that numbers wise it is worth it to manage the POWs in hopes that it will encourage other russian soldiers to surrender, or chose to not do a very good job of attacking Ukraine. |

Though the US will be effected the least by ww3, probably regardless of nukes. I doubt russia wants commit suicide by hitting usa with a nuke. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By mnd6563: Agreed, posts like his do not bode well for our society. Standing up for good against evil should be a no brainer on a Pro-2A web forum, but yet here we are... It is quite disturbing. I know it means American lives at risk, that hits close to home with a son in the Air Force and another headed to the Army in May. But this is America, a country founded on God's principles. We do what's right now matter what the consequences. It's sickening to see American's tucking their tails and not standing up for our Brothers and Sisters across the globe. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By stone-age: The russian government is brainwashing their country to believe they are just trying to defend themselves against western powers. Many people in russia believe it, many others are afraid to say anything contrary to supporting the war. Many others who don't support the war will not be in russia anymore. |
