Official Russia vs Ukraine War Thread

Outrage is no excuse for irrational thought or denial.

You don’t have to like facts, but objectivity requires their acceptance.

Russia claims to have destroyed half the HIMARS delivered along with some of their ammunition.

HIMARS improves stand-off range, accuracy. and blast compared to Howitzers and will impact but not change significant outcomes.

According to Voice of America:

…the new systems aren’t immediately going to win the war for Ukraine. “I don’t think these [HIMARS] will provide overnight change,”

We need to send more of then.

oh you should update wiki then. and all this time we all thought it was a sovereign national. Silly us

Now would be a perfect time for China to invade Russia. Walk over!

Ukraine is a Country. Nation is not an equivalent term.

Adding “sovereign” doesn’t add meaningful emphasis.

Pretty much every Country is “sovereign”.

It’s really no less or more lamentable if an attacked country is deemed sovereign or not.

You invest in the merchants of death?

So RU has taken another pause to find enough men willing to fight and collect a batch of equipment that still works. Then they will try to focus power on one UKR.

The mighty Red Army has been reduced to pauses so it can take over one small UKR town. Pathetic but that's good news.

In the meantime, UKR is getting tips from Ukrainians in RU occupied land, mostly on where RU is keeping weapons caches. Then UKR uses its newly acquired and world-class artillery to blow up RU ammo dumps. Every day more go up in amazing explosions.

So RU will have to wait a little longer to gather the men and materiel needed to rush another UKR town. Time seems to be on the side of UKR, as long as the US, UK and EUR keep supplying.

One time the RU pause willl become longer and longer and show its army is exhausted and done for.

sure, no magic weapon.

but stalling the RU army until winter is a pretty good plan. And the new bits of arty will likely do that. A demoralized RU army in winter under constant threat of artillery barrage will truly suffer.

You’re the one more concerned about your 401K than the Ukrainian people. Your moral hypocrisy is noted and disgusting.

The fact that Tulsi can’t understand the objective of the war in Ukraine (which is simply to keep a free and independent Ukraine, with it’s pre-2014 borders), while arguing for spending billions of dollars to build a border wall to keep immigrants out of the US shows that she has the mental abilities of a potato.

Ok. The cost will come out of your pocket. We will not pay for it through our taxes and hard earned money.
