Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By stone-age: He bet he could take Ukraine in a week, he lost. So he doubled down. Then doubled down again. I really do think at this point he is a poker player on tilt. He has to win it all back, he has to. I think for him admitting he lost and facing the music back home would be a lot worse than launching a nuke in the hopes of winning. This is where "saner voices" need to kick in. Russia using nukes would be an act of national suicide. Their economy would not recover for a century. The empire would have choice cuts carved out of it. They would NEVER be a global great power again. Russia has too much to lose, and key people among the leadership need to be willing to put the future of the country ahead of Putin's vanity. |

ISW assessment for September 24th.
https://www.understandingwar.org/backgrounder/russian-offensive-campaign-assessment-september-24 A Russian source claimed that Ukrainian forces struck Russian positions south of the Dnipro River in the Henichesk area (about 170km southeast of Kherson City and 40 km north of Crimea), which is consistent with a statement made by Ukraine’s Southern Operational Command that Ukrainian forces hit a Russian control point near Henichesk.[23] Ukrainian partisans are reportedly providing Ukrainian forces with targeting information for referenda voting stations despite increased security in occupied territories.[49] |

The fact that Ukraine elected a president with some Jewish roots was actually the result of 2014 war fatigue and the votes mostly came from the pro-russian and indifferent parts of the population.

Ukraine as a country never wasted a chance to vote against Israel in the UN and to sell aerospace and military technology to its enemies like Iran. Not even going to start on how gladly the local collaborationists helped the Nazis during WW2. That orcs are now using Iranian drones on UA is some poetic justice.

They can try to do what they want, but we will level and irradiate moscow if we think they are going to launch. Make them believe it. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Ryan_Scott: I wasn’t a Soldier but I don’t think that’s how that works. The enemy puts the killbox where you’re going to be, if it can… Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Ryan_Scott: Originally Posted By Bama_Rebel: I would of thought Ukraine's recon would of prevented them from rolling into the kill box. I wasn’t a Soldier but I don’t think that’s how that works. The enemy puts the killbox where you’re going to be, if it can… Absolutely NO and sort of yes (respectively to both of you): Normies completely underestimate the ability of any military unit to know what the fuck is going on around them at any given time. I don't care if you have tank thermal sights, drones, aerostats, or satellites. It isn't that the information isn't THERE, it is that it doesn't reach the level that the affected people can USE IT. Or some dude was asleep on post, or there was an RF dead zone, or nobody in the TOC thought what they were seeing was important enough to share. Like, seriously, go back and play C&C or Starcraft, where the "fog of war" is only cleared out for a minute within a very short radius of the unit blundering around the map. That's the most accurate game mechanic EVER. You also simply cannot have units or observers everywhere, all of the time. If we could do that, then US units wouldn't have run across IEDs or wandered into complex ambushes all the time...which they did with alarming regularity.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Zam18th: The West could absolutely not let that stand or else nuclear blackmail will become SOP's for Russia to continue taking Eastern Europe, for other terrorist regimes to do as they please, and for China to expand in Asia. Dark times. If I was running things, I'd probably tell Russia we are beginning aid operations to the area and their forces are to stand down and leave all of UA immediately. When they don't and inevitably paint our aircraft and/or fire on us, we commence destroying every Russian unit in UA and obliterate the Kerch bridge. I've no idea if the collective wisdom (cough) in DC has this in mind, but a conventional attack on Russian oil and gas fields should be part of a "response." That's the only thing Russia has going for it economically. Wreck their energy production sector, and Russia is finished. On paper, it would look like missile strikes in the middle of nowhere that don't kill anybody at all, except maybe a handful of hapless maintenance techs. But hitting the foundation of their economy would take them over the cliff for good. |

Remember, they are training for months, not 2 weeks like russia. It makes a big difference, and now that they have the pipeline going, freshly trained soldiers are being deployed every week as they finish real training. |
