Not polling (highly doubt there isn’t any recent polling to be found), but the article I mentioned the recruitment problem from today by CNN from a few days ago can be found here. A bit more relevant than you citing polls from a year ago. Who is using more relevant info, Gallup polls from a year ago or CNN from this week? Hmmm. Next think you know, posters ITT will start talking about how much CNNhas become pro Russia, just like NYT and Washington post <45><45>


Ukraine recruiters sacked because Ukrainian fighting aged men are laying them off not go be drafted

I posted two articles referencing polls from June 2023 ...any thoughts?

What does you article from '6 days ago' have anything to do with polls for yay or nay? Yes there's some ongoing corruption. A bunch of regional recruitment commissars got fired. What does that have to do with whether the population at large support or oppose ceding land for 'peace'? Your deflection is noted.

What's your take on that story?

I actually don't know ...
From one point she ( Kallas ) is good for NATO and EU.
She is supporting military budgets increase in EU and NATO countries and wants to increase Estonian defense budget even further. Also to increase budgets for police, custom service and border guards...
BTW she recently had been attempted to kick out in reality because she wants these budgets to be increased again.
Cabinet of ministers had been supposed to be dismissed cos new coalition in parliament will be formed.
Nope... new coalition supported even higher increase for these budgets.
Estonia is praliamentar republic and they does had not 2 or 3 political but more political parties...
Decisions about final budget are done by voting session in parliament...
Kallas is Prime Minister not president.

longer video from the US volunteer:

Shit is intense....

The pressure surely seems to be straining the Russian defense, now lets hope Ukraine has enough left to push through and actually exploit a possible breakthrough.
I do think the UAF took the correct call by switching from the frontal assaults (nato advisers seemed to be pushing for), to their own tactics of attrition and slow gains.
Outcome of the counteroffensive is anything but certain at this point, imo.

 

[SandisLL]

Estonia btw is maybe most lenient country in EU about CCW permits and normal if self defense cases are going till trial in court.
They had a lot of violent crimes on daTech streetZ in 90 ies and dealed with this not in pussy mode.
Allowed pepper sprays for casuals and CCW permits for casual civies.
Violence level dropped quickly.....till level like Belgium does have and this from hell level.

Pussy oriented politicians in EU are thinking that Estonia does have too relaxed laws....

 

[SandisLL]

NATO might train ppl to use western weapons while not military tactique because they are denying Ukraine to get weapons Ukraine is asking for ....
NATO doctrine doesn't have very long time until supplies are delivered not alone possibility to use old and specially castrated and downgraded Taurus missiles like Germany is talking about that maybe !!!!will deliver.
Aviation usage too.!!!
Not alone that the same ATACMS missiles aren't supplied, cluster wahead missiles for HIMARS too weren't supplied...
also where is ammo and bombs with napalm?

 

[PEB]

Well Russian pilots finally got a taste of F35 lightning 2 action. The US Reaper drones have been flying in international waters in the dead sea an Russian was trying to use actions to take it down this time F35's went right at Russian SU-35's. Russian's ran for cover an Russian officials are complaining lol.

I'm more concerned about Lithuania lack of balls and shutting down transit of all goods and travel to Kaliningrad oblast.

"Putin does not plan to attend Prigozhin's funeral
Vladimir Putin does not plan to attend the funeral of Wagnerian leader Yevgeny Prigozhin, the Kremlin announced, according to Reuters."

Some how I am not surprised.

 

[SandisLL]

I'm more concerned about Lithuania lack of balls and shutting down transit of all goods and travel to Kaliningrad oblast.

It isn't Lithuania.
Lithuania is full EU member country and member of eurozone....
It is negotiation between EU and Putin. Yeah, Lithuanians are also money hungry but if we look on supplies of weapons to Ukr I can't tell that they doesn't have balls, more than this, if they had sent batch with jammers for free while were able to sell them easy peasy to other countries and to tell that they can't produce. These are GPS/ GLONASS jammers with addition to jam radiolinks too.
Also they quickly and for free had repaired 12 german self propelled howitzers.
Lack of balls to change barrel in 2 days?
If they doesn't have balls why they are purchasing ammunition for Ukraine with Vilnius so close to border with Belarus ruled by now senile and aggressive dictator?
They easily might had helped Ukr 100 x lesser than they did.
They helped despite in reality their relationships with ukr elite aren't good at all. I had excepted considerably lesser aid for Ukr from Lithuania.

 

[SandisLL]

There is big question why Zelensky didn't had banned transit from Russia to Hungary to use Ukrainian territory. Not for free ofc.
Actually was funny to see cinema scene when ukraine is directly helping russia to fund war vs ukraine.

Ofc it's not Lithuania. EU knows full well that if they do that, Putin hand will be forced onto Lithuania. Oblast will starve and transit of good via sea route isn't viable. That's the real reason. Lack of balls by EU and Lithuania.

To be fair, all borders of Rus and Belarus with EU should of been shut long time ago. Don't understand one bit why wait.

 

[SandisLL]

Ukraine is helping and had helped also to support separatists controlled region in Moldova because 1992-2022 charged Gazprom for natural gas transport via pipeline through Ukraine to separatists controlled area in Moldova.
Money doesn't smell.

 

[Bagatur]

In, before Ukraine takes Crimea, which could be any day meow

And what a glorious day it will be! The russians will drown in their own shit they will be spewing on their propaganda TV.

United States absolutely doesn't have balls and this is fact.
EU doesn't want mesh in Suwalk gap not cos they cares about lithuanians.
ECB doesn't want it cos Lithuania is Eurozone member and EU cos Suwalk gap is one from major Nordic connection line to connect internet connections and Nordic Grid.

United States does have balls?
Russia is using chips manufactured by U.S corporations in Lancet drones and Kalibr missiles, U.S didn't had banned fertilizers import from russia etc...

 

[SandisLL]

We all sadly see that United States doesn't have balls.
1. Relocated embassy perssonel from Kiev to Lvov 10 days before invasion.
2. Removed from Black sea all navy ships before invasion.
3. Didn't had provided even 1 main battle tank. Soon war will be 19 months.
4. Didn't had provided ATACMS missiles.
5. Only recently allowed pilots training.
Etc etc.

While you are partially correct, a lot of countries in europe even in reality doesn't care about ukraine at all, not alone to start think something or to talk about " balls ".

Btw shit in Niger if will be long term idiotism later will impact electricity prices in all world cos this country is in world top 10 as uranium ore supplier....
