Putin’s playing the long game at this point. Just keep the stalemate going long enough, until the rest of the world looses their political will and / or gets distracted by other issues like Israel / Palestine.
No doubt he doesn't care about lives lost, Ukrainian or Russian.Putin’s playing the long game at this point. Just keep the stalemate going long enough, until the rest of the world looses their political will and / or gets distracted by other issues like Israel / Palestine.
Good point.Well it's Germany, this is a non-story if their record of adherence to NATO GDP military spending requirements are any indication.
They have been forced into this after seeing that the orcs did to Ukraine.Finally some progress from other nations.
You would certainly think so. Once again Western (US) weaponry has proved far superior to Russia weaponry on the ground as well as the air.They have been forced into this after seeing that the orcs did to Ukraine.
The Luftwaffe has ordered 35 F-35s, which is another big comittment.
Let's just hope Putin isn't stupid enough to underestimate western airpower and start something with NATO.
Hopefully they take a look at what's going on in Gaza and get the message.

This was never going to end fast and always going to end in diplomacy... not trying to say I told you so but we better secure the border... or I will! How can you walk across a border but have airports like FT Knox? You think we have any accountability of the money sent to Ukraine, think any made its way to Russia? Still think we weakened Putin with this mess?Putin’s playing the long game at this point.

I realize Hamas doesn't have any air defense, but this war they started with the IDF has to be considered an epic blunder.Yep.
And the Russo-Ukrainian war has given the west a full view of exactly what those Ruskie air defenses are capable of, while the Ruskies have learned very little of what western air power can do.You would certainly think so. Once again Western (US) weaponry has proved far superior to Russia weaponry on the ground as well as the air.
Well we better start cranking out the munitions, because I suspect that China will be acting on Taiwan a lot sooner than we are prepared for. And honestly, I don't that Biden will honor our historical commitments.Those expensive/complicated S-300 & S-400 systems are lethal, but also hard to replace once they've been destroyed.
The LPD appeared destroyed and half-sunk after the fire was extinguished.
