1984Echoes Posted Monday at 07:57 PM Posted Monday at 07:57 PM No-Fly zone west of the Dnieper. So easy. Putin will whine big HUGE tears about Western interference in his back yard and then shut up and give up the war (atrocities). And take what he's gotten so far. Which is all he's going to get. Quote

MAGA likes to talk about American greatness but we just watched a country, which even Zelenskyy would admit has had it's fair share of issues even prior to Russia interference, embrace US assistance many years ago to get legitimate training by US/Nato allies, and now three years after war with the 2nd most powerful army in the world (At least at the time this started in 2022) they are not only holding their own, they are able to make these types of attacks. That right there is American greatness. That alone shows what a supportive foreign policy can do. I still hate that the US and/or the EU haven't found a way to force an end to this war, but props to Ukraine for being so innovative and persistent. Quote

Specifically: After the first invasion in 2014, when Ukraine lost Crimea and a portion of the Donbas (but stopped them in their tracks at that point): American and other NATO forces flooded into Ukraine (after the fighting stopped of course) and armed and trained Ukrainian forces in western fighting techniques. Specifically, command structure. We convinced them to stop giving top-down commands for everything (IE: from Vladimir Putin Commander-in-Chief giving all orders for every single Russian movement and the troops being paralyzed when they can't carry out his commands... what now?). The Ukrainian Army took that to heart and started to develop an NCO (Non-Comissioned Officers such as Sargeants, Sargeant Majors, etc.) Corp and allowed their Field Officers (Captains and Lietenants) and NCO's (aforementioned Sargeant-types...) to make battlefield decisions. Why is Ukraine winning this war? Because small groups led by an NCO or Field Officer out-maneuvered superior Russian forces constricted by top-down orders. Small Ukrainian groups kept the Russians out of Kiev. Attacked and defeated the initial Russian paratrooper landing in Kiev Airport. Destroyed a column of Russian tanks headed towards Kiev. They have constantly out-maneuvered, out-fought, and defeated Russian forces far superior in numbers. Why does Russia win additional Ukrainian territory? Because they throw 100,000 Russian soldiers at a Ukrainian position with 2,500 Ukrainian soldiers and try to overwhelm them with numbers. It doesn't matter if Russia loses 80,000 Russian soldiers (in Putin's mind) and the Ukrainians lose 500 over 3 months of fighting... as long as Putin gains 5 more miles and 1 more Ukrainian village... in Putin's mind... he has won. If the United States were FULLY involved... Putin would lose ALL the territory he's stolen from Ukraine, including Crimea. This has been the "half-measure War". Neither Trump nor Biden has offered anything more than half measures. One out of stupidity and corruption, the other out of fear. And Russia has shown the world NOTHING... except that they should be DIMINISHED... not AWARDED for this genocidal travesty. America should be ashamed of itself. Quote

ewsieg Posted yesterday at 12:54 PM Posted yesterday at 12:54 PM I was seeing reports of this early this morning but not from any accounts I knew or trusted. With it being underwater I wonder how difficult it'll be to get an assessment on how successful it was. Guess we'll have an idea by how long they choose not to use that span. Quote
