International Russia/Ukraine Megathread V15

[San Marino]

I have an Army Commendation Medal, so I think your best bet is for you to go climb your thumb.

For what? You were a pharmacist in the rear.

 

[San Marino]

Who would have known that the two parties at war with each other would be the ones expected to agree to a ceasefire.

Poor Trump doesn't realize he hasn't accomplished shit by talking to Putin.

Poor Trump doesn't realize he hasn't accomplished shit by talking to Putin.

Wait until Putin figures that out…

 

[Cid]

You sound like an idiot.

Re-read my position for the last 2 pages.

At no point did I state that our armies don't commit war crimes. You are creating a straw man because of your partisan perspective.

I've been very clear about my position. Re-read it. You might agree with it. It has to do with moral highground

I read it. Stating that the country invaded doesn't have the moral high ground because you've seen drones kill people begging for their lives is stupid.

Here's the post that started it. Not a reply to anyone.

Don't pretend either side has the moral high ground here.

Ive seen Ukraine drones kill surrendering conscripts begging for their lives.

It's war.

The sooner this ends the better. These men will be scarred for generations.

You came into this thread trying to argue that a country that is the victim of an imperialistic invasion doesn't have the high ground because drone operators kill people begging for their lives.

It's a stupid position.

You should rethink it.

 

[SandisLL]

Russia had increased number of drones they are using in ukr...FPV etc type...
It is rumoured that more donkeys are delivered.

If I remember, years ago Belarus had listed as active equipment some 203mm self propelled howitzers...now no anymore.

Hiring for special operation continues.

There does seem to be a hell of a lot of Small Diameter Bomb video's coming out. Seems like they're much less prone to EW issues when launched from the air.

 

[calavera2]

Surely GOATnald is spot on here imo.

Hope he ends the war and is able to negotiate a lasting peace and prosperity...but the devils in the details, if he caves we might end up back in the same place or worse

 

[calavera2]

Who would have known that the two parties at war with each other would be the ones expected to agree to a ceasefire…

Oh yeah, Ukraine and the rest of the World after these two are finished beating the shit out of each other. We are still going to do BIG business with Russia.

Problem with trump is he talks more out of his asshole than his mouth and you never know which hole is talking

 

[SandisLL]

There does seem to be a hell of a lot of Small Diameter Bomb video's coming out. Seems like they're much less prone to EW issues when launched from the air.

There are opinions that because they uses old model MRLS missile rocket part and attached SDB on top of this, is required smooth and in details predictable amd timed process to determine when etc bomb should separate from rocket motor and fly further....approx like these 2 stage SAM missiles design like stuff, where booster stage is separated from 2 nd stage.

While if bomb is designed to be dropped from airplane, you don't need booster stage for SDB. Phyical load on bomb in such case is lesser than if bomb is launched by using ground launcher + booster stage...

maybe they soon will improve these bombs !
Cos idea to launch them from ground with cheap rockets looks cool: 0 aircraft needed plus to spot medium size truck is more difficult than airplane ....

 

[Strychnine]

For what? You were a pharmacist in the rear.

You know what?

Here's the deal... I've NEVER went in on you or your "service". I thought that you would show me that same courtesy as you claim to be a fellow veteran. But since you want to just come at me and ignore all of that. Guess what?

You're just another poster now and I'll treat you that way.


Comrade.

 

[Devil's_Advocate]

What a surprise. Putin just keeps stalling and using double speak.

Putin Dumps Cold Water Over Trump’s Celebration of Their Phone Call

The Russian leader’s summary of the phone call didn’t sound nearly as optimistic as Trump’s when it comes to next steps in Ukraine.

Australia had started long ago promised old tanks shipment process.
For dealys some posters in holy net are pointing on yanks , starting from Biden's administration with kirby toy and so fearing from escalation with their friends and bottlemates like sullivan shaking in fear to escalate something vs their friends and Trump administration in Vance and Withcopff dude
....
Only recently yanks had signed re export permits for old tanks. Vuala, yanks, sorryRussia No2.

 

[SandisLL]

If about sanctions, it is joke again.
Rudssia No2 in U.S will not force their bottlemates enough.
Not alone to talk about chances to force Panama and Egypt to apply sanctions package.
Panama to force might only U.S..
For Egypt with U.S alone isn't enough, they does needs E.U and U.K here....

U.S are thinking that they still are world hegemony? NO. And they might as weaklings loosers continue shake in fear from China, North Korea, Iran, Housithes, HAMAS, Hezbollah and ISIS & Al Quaeda remainings etc.
And dream to milk europe by selling expensive weapons with xxx clauses.

Hegeomny proved that they even doesn't have HAMAS level, unfortunately, not alone to deal with Yemen for any longer term.
Where to talk about NK openly declaring that they are preparing for war vs oppresors from U.S and according to them their " puppet states ".
Add Iran and China. LOL.
It is awful to see.

If for Gaza europe doesn't make big sense, for Suez they are thinking a lot. And if we know Dresden 1945 flowchart see this as bare minimum.
However they aren't willing to install occupation forces in Yemen. Like yanks or oil kings.

Let us see which side has fought and died for nothing. Like the US in Vietnam and Iraq:

Putin Has a New Ukraine Problem: His Own Soldiers Might Not Want Peace​

MSN

www.msn.com

Speaking to The New York Times, eleven Russian soldiers—including several fighting on the front lines—expressed exhaustion and disillusionment with both the war and the society that sent them to fight it. However, many still claimed a cease-fire that respected the current front lines would betray their contributions to the war.

Sergei, a conscript in Donetsk, said he felt his late comrades would have “died in vain” if Russia did not succeed in taking all of eastern Ukraine. The initially fast-paced invasion soon unraveled into a gutting war of attrition, with both Russian and Ukrainian authorities painting their respective sides in existential tones.

• Russian forces conducted the largest single drone strike of the war against Ukraine on the night of May 17 to 18.
• Reported support within the Russian military and society for continuing the war until Russia achieves its original war aims and territorial demands reflects the success of the Kremlin's years-long narrative efforts to justify a protracted war effort.
• Russian forces are gaining ground in Kursk Oblast and near Chasiv Yar, Toretsk, and Novopavlivka.

‘We will pay a huge price’: Ukraine fears war could drag on for years

Kyiv officials believe Moscow is not interested in peace despite talks in Istanbul and Trump’s intervention

www.theguardian.com

* This is Ukraine's Vietnam. Years of fighting and winning battles only to lose the war at the end. The Ukrainian Army no longer has the numbers to keep this war going for another 3 years. Ukraine has not moved the Russian Army East, and the Russian Army is making small gains due West.

New Survey Finds Most Russians See Ukrainian War as Defense Against West | NORC at the University of Chicago

A new survey of Russians highlights sentiment towards Putin's leadership, the country’s global standing, and domestic concerns amid the war in Ukraine.

www.norc.org

Most Russians see the war in Ukraine as a defense against threats from NATO and the West and report little personal effect from the conflict. A recent poll of the Russian public conducted by NORC at the University of Chicago finds little material improvement in the quality of life for many Russians since the war, but not a significant deterioration in overall economic conditions despite international sanctions.

 

[San Marino]

Indeed. The US supplied Libia, Afghanistan, Iraq, China and the Soviets. We now supply Germany and Japan. The US has deployed nuclear weapons in Turkey, Belgium, Holland, Germany and Italy. Times have sure changed since 1945.
