News About The Ukraine War

[General Zod]

Biden would have spent it on trans, woke and green.

Probably. Which means it's better spent being sent to resist Russian efforts to rebuild the Soviet empire...and show our military what does and doesn't work on a modern battlefield.

 

[Spcwolf]

Not necessary, just did a quick search...$113 billion. What could we have done?

Yeah, all those news articles and analyses we link to, totally not news. But some random newbie? The arbiter of fact.

 

[cycleguy2300]

In theory. In reality there's virtually no news on this thread. But I think you knew that already.

Since Feb 26, you've only made 3 posts not in one of the Ukraine threads.

You made a flurry of 10 fluff posts over a few days until your sole attention became Ukraine.

Your name style and the pattern of posting that EXACTLY MATCHES what Ryan McBeth demonstrates is textbook russian disinformation troll/bot. Very interesting.

This is news, because despite several rather pro-russian members you are the first troll/bot that joined TGT for the express purpose of attempting to manipulate the Ukraine threads.

Totally not news and much less relevant than a Putin-loving newbie's unfounded opinions:

Ukraine Situation Report: Claims Swirl Around Drone Attack On Russian Fighter-Bomber Base

The base that was attacked is a major hub for Russia’s tactical air operations over Ukraine and houses dozens of jets.

But you have to read it because my dad was a disabled Air Force veteran and my family has fought in this nation's wars back to the Revolution and the War of 1812.

You can think and say whatever TF you like. Nothing but insults to anyone with a different opinion than you. I'm a US vet (albeit I was a wild young man and not the greatest sailor by any stretch), my dad was a Marine, his dad was WW2 AAF, and we've fought in pretty much every war back to (and including) 1776. I didn't approve of the war in VN, Hussien was right - Kuwait was slant drilling to steal Iraq's oil, Afghanistan was a F'ing mistake (as was Libya), and Iraq 2 had no clear exit strategy that would leave things markedly better than when we got there. Now you can mouth off about how I'm a traitor, bot, whatever. And btw, at best 20% of the posts in this thread are news.

Its not an insult, just an observation that your life-cycle here and the life-cycle of russian misinformation assets are congruent (that means they match exactly for those of you in Rio Linda).

I think it is important to know someones position and perspective. I make no secret I am decidedly on the side of Ukraine so long as they are fighting an invading force and defending their move toward freedom tonthe point I went to Ukraine and did a little helping.

There are others here who are pro-russia for for what ever reason and others who refuse to condemn russia because they fear their conscience exposing the inconsistencies in their screaming at the sky about taxes, and others who support Ukraine but do not think the USA should be involved even if only sending arms.

I was in Kharkiv, I got bombed. I saw the craters in the street where there was ABSOLUTELY NO legitimate targets within miles, just apartments and businesses...

People are welcome to have their own (different) opinion w/o that making them traitors or agents for foreign nations.

So, in your opinion, which targets explode better?.....Rus Army or Rus Navy?

Army gets an award for numbers, navy for spectacle

But that, of course, is just my opinion.

This is supposed to be for hard news about the war, not opinions. Please go back and read post #1which says, in part:

If you want to talk about the motivations, deep politics, morality, etc. of the war, there's another thread for that. It can be found here.

I'm going to move some posts to that other thread.

Please stop making me move posts.

I'm going to look for the video said to be screenshotted here.

Edit: Here is the video from Telegram. Its rather graphic and NSFW most places and very sickening.

The Russian Navy Had Three Giant Be-200 Flying Boats. Then Ukrainian Drones Swarmed In.

The Be-200 can launch and land on water. It's a precious, and increasingly endangered, Russian asset.

Is that one of those ground-effect vehicles that just skims over water? IIRC, the Russians have always had a soft spot in their hearts for those things.

This is a full on amphibious aircraft ith a service ceiling of 26,000'.

Pretty cool plane that I was not that familiar with.

Ukrainian Troops Staged A Daring Three-Night Raid To Steal A Russian Tank Fitted With A New Drone-Jammer

When Russian tanks began rolling toward the front line with a giant new jammer—actually, clusters of multiple jammers—Ukrainian drone operators were very interested.

Gotta love the opening.

Starving for artillery ammunition after Russia-friendly Republicans in the U.S. Congress blocked further aid to Ukraine starting in October

Yeah, they could be Russia-friendly.
Or maybe a few of them noticed our huge national debt?
One can only hope...

Recent WSJ article talked about predictions that Russia will at a minimum hold the ground it has taken. At worst will grind down Ukraine in a war of attrition and advance further.

Ukraine is lacking artillery shells to stop Russia, much less regain the initiative.
