Russia/Ukraine conflict
- Thread starter amolina
- Start date
. Somebody will step up to the plate.So I guess this is yet another Russian ship gone!
It’s amazing how Ukraine is taking it to the Russians! With all the help they’re getting from the West- including the world’s best intelligence, I’m totally expecting them to go a step further into Russia and decimate Russia’s weapon production (yeah, I know it’s a long, long way from Ukraine) and air force assets like they’re doing to Russia’s ships, and then it’s game over for Putin.
It’s not so much all about territory.
Once neutered, Zelensky can order Russia out of Ukraine, and to hand over their remaining armaments.

Sounds like a good HIMARS target.

Now that we in Sweden are finally full members of NATO it will be very interesting to see if some Gripen fighter jets can begin a journey towards the Ukrainian Air Force...
A couple of days ago on the 2-year mark of the Russian Dictator's Illegal full scale invasion of UKR, the Swedish Opposition leader publicly called for Sweden to begin sending Gripens to the UKR Air Force once Swedish accession into NATO was complete.

I put the NATO flag up in the front of our house yesterday and will fly it for a few more days on this occasion. Flew it last time for Finland's accession.
I don't know if this is mostly a U.S. thing, but some folks put up flags on their houses at different times for all sorts of reasons - U.S. flag for independence day, if their favorite sports team has a big game - fly that flag, some holiday related flag, etc. Feel pretty strongly on the critical role for NATO even before my former days in the U.S. Air Force. Maybe flying the NATO flag is still weird, but I'm ok with that.
If it's the flag Putin fears most, fly it high.
We do the same thing. We've got flags for holidays, awareness months, etc. The default flag is Ukraine.
Russia continues to rack up massive losses of men and equipment. Ukrainian officials have clarified that their estimates of Russian combat losses/liquidations include both those killed and wounded.

France recently has become more vocal and active in support of the Eastern European countries partially occupied by Russia. Good to see deeper cooperation and security development of Moldova.
Welcome

This does resolve the difference between the 180K figure from Zelensky and the 420K reported by their Ministry of Defense. Though it may just be a way to walk back the figures.
I have noticed Russian equipment losses have been very high lately. Ukraine is using their limited resources to inflict maximum pain on the Russians.

Hope so, doubt it. Mike Johnson is going to focus the house on the U.S. budget first, then shift to Ukraine when that is done.
I doubt it also but for different reasons...Mike Johnson will always come up with an excuse not to provide the necessary aid to Ukraine or do anything about the border. He and Trump will always side with Putin on this.
Only chance of aid getting to Ukraine in time is if the House is able to bypass Mike Johnson and have the bill go to vote. I believe most republicans would vote for it if given the chance.
