  1. Because the Russo-Ukraine war was concentrated at the Eastern front ?
    13
  2. All Zelensky insisted on joining NATO. Worse, he even agreed to deploy US nuclear arsenal in Ukraine after joining NATO.
    7
  3. Since the F16 would most likely be stationed on the west-western side of Ukraine, by the time a squadron of them reach the eastern border, they might be intercepted by the Russian planes and S-400. Little chances to "throw" bombs.
    4
  4. From your "plane" dialogue, I recalled a scene from Battlestar Galactica which a human fighting side by side with his "enemy", a cylon robot. Too bad in reality, Ukraine would have too few MIG-29 and F16 in 2024 for any meaningful air "resistance" against Russian planes.
    3
  5. Perhaps USA was concerned that Ukraine might use its attack helicoptors to attack Russia proper.
    3
  6. But Kharkiv was lightly defended.
    3
  7. No. It is not a failed state. NATO/EU tried to destroy Russia in 2022 but failed.
    2
  8. @el_gabron  Why not ? Currently, Ukraine is facing manpower shortage for war, and most of its soldiers were concentrated at the eastern front, trying to prevent Russians from capturing all of Donbass region. That meant Kharkiv will not be heavily defended.
    2
  9. Moscow : So far Ukraine needs to mobilize 500,000 Ukrainians to the meat grinders. Where's the Ukrainians ? Ukraine : Somewhere in Europe.
    2
  10. Since Ukraine would be flying old version of F16. The answer is No chance against S400.
    2
  11. Maybe because it was proven that USA blew up Germany gas pipelines and Ukraine blew up the "Crimea" bridge. So the probability that they were involved in destroying the dam held by Russia, which could just open the flood gates could not be discounted.
    2
  12. You forgot to mention NATO/EU.
    2
  13. You forgot the wolf in the forest is fighting with the big brown bear.
    2
  14. You were misinformed. PLA actually reached Vietnam capital before Chairman Deng decided Vietnam had been "punished" sufficiently, and ordered a withdrawal.
    2
  15. No F35 seen protecting Ukraine airspace either.
    2
  16. LOL. Brotherhood of Russia. Peace through Power.
    2
  17. @phild3936  The Russians held elections, even if it's just for show in the 4 regions and Crimea. So must Ukraine if it wants to go the Russian way.
    2
  18. Not Russia. They see Trump.
    2
  19. Not viable because Ukraine is totally dependent on NATO/EU supports. Without "positive military results", their supports would dry up.
    2
  20. It would be difficult for Ukraine to use "bite and hold". Because it rely totally on NATO charities on artilleries and shells ( small bite force ), and lack of manpower for war ( not enough men to hold ). However, if Poland really send the Ukrainian refugees back to Ukraine, Zelensky could draft them into battles.
    1
  21. Compare to Nazi Netanyahu intense mass bombing of Gaza Strip, Tzar Putin not yet escalated to the max.
    1
  22.  @eeeertoo2597  Yes, at Kherson. Ukrainian forces only fully occupied the other side of the river, one week after Russia withdrew for fear of traps.
    1
  23.  @eeeertoo2597  That is the reason its being called the meat grinder for both Ukraine and Russia. As for Kherson, one could either say the Ukraine commanders were cautious on one hand or lacked confidence on the other.
    1
  24. Unfortunately, morale cannot be quantified. What if the Russian conscripts morale are not bottom poor, and the Ukrainians come at tnem like stray dogs ?
    1
  25. How could he ? He's pro-Ukraine. No Ukraine negative news.
    1
  26. The West would get their money back, by hook or by crook. If Ukraine "unable" to repay its debts, the West could confiscate personel assets and foreign reserve.
    1
  27. Stop whining. USA instigated Ukraine into provoking Russia for the invasion. The least that the American could do is to pay the bills.
    1
  28.  @БогданБеркут  I doubt so since Europe had rejected and ostracised Russia. But Russia still got Asia, Africa and Latin South America supports.
    1
  29. Its a lot easier for NATO/EU to send troops into Ukraine to repel Russia from the four regions and Crimea.
    1
  30. Perhaps its one of the thousands retrenched Disney employees that "sold" the Disney IP to Russia ? Too much confidential "dirty" documents had been leaked out.
    1
  31. No need since USA has never paid for its crimes against American Natives, or other countries that it had regime changed and invaded for the past 50 years.
    1
  32. I'm not sure Ukraine would break Russia defensive lines in the four regions and Crimea, with only one million attackers vs half a million defenders ( not counting weapons and ammo ).
    1
  33. Taliban had terrorised and traumatised the US forces that they lacked courage to face the Russian forces.
    1
  34. No permission from USA.
    1
  35. Time is not on Ukraine side. Ukraine had postphone the offensive from winter to spring and now its summer. Many NATO/EU countries are tired of continous supports to Ukraine.
    1
  36. Because NATO/EU is fighting Russia with Ukrainian blood.
    1
  37. Can't blame him since he is American ( I think ).
    1
  38. To negotiate for peace.
    1
  39. Do not complain since its USA which instigated Ukraine to provoke Russia in the first place, by baiting it with NATO membership and nuclear weapons in Ukraine ( Cuba crisis again except with war ).
    1
  40.  @БогданБеркут  You forgot that Ukraine is also abandoned by two guarantors of its security, USA and Britain. They did not send formal, professional soldiers to help Ukraine repelled Russia in its hours of needs.
    1
  41. Don't overdo it. The soldiers morale might be sunk rock bottom and many countries might just give up on Ukraine.
    1
  42. To negotiate for peace.
    1
  43. Ukraine holding Western economy ? You're mistaken. Western economy in Europe already been severely damaged by Russia economic counter-sanctions, and by USA deindustrailization of Germany, selling ultra high price energy to its European allies and increased interest rates for the past 2 years.
    1
  44. Actually no need for France to put troops on the ground. It just need to send Ukrainian man refugees back to defend their homeland.
    1
  45. The war be Putin undoing ? He is already preparing to rule Russia for the next 6 years.
    1
  46. North Korea didn't give. It traded its ammo for Russia's fuel, war and satellite tech and grains.
    1
  47. Happily tired because more inflow of Money.
    1
  48. Thus, the operation was a failure.
    1
  49. You could see Defence Politics Asia for frontline changes in the eastern front. From the looks of it, Ukraine would lose Pokrovsk.
    1
  50. Zelensky Ukraine did provoke this war by insisting on joining NATO, even though Europe knew it was the last red line of Russia. The naive comedian Zelensky didn't learn the lesson of 2014 annexation of Crimea that Putin was very serious about his war threats.
    1
  51. Didn't the Poles already enter the fray in the form of mercenaries ? Not sure about the French.
    1
  52. Didn't Belarus sanction by USA and NATO ? So Belarus would gain lands from Ukraine while lose nothing by entering the war.
    1
  53.  @timmommens901  I'm only replying to the original comment.
    1
  54. It's hard to hold election in Kursk since the situation remains volatile.
    1
  55. Rain somemore and Ukraine could postphone the offensive to Autumn.
    1
  56. You got it wrong. Putin wanted to get along with the west, even shown interest in joining NATO. But they refused to consider the notion because its Russia. Later, the west expelled Russia from G8. Now, its G7. Then the west tricked Ukraine into provoking Russia, by welcoming it to join NATO and to place nuclear weapons inside Ukraine ( Remember Cuba crisis ? ). Putin had no choice but to ally with President Xi since Russia was ostracised and rejected from Europe.
    1
  57. Ocean pollution ? Japan is going to dump nuclear waste water into the Pacific Ocean for the next 30 years. Starting in 2023.
    1
  58. No need mention about Canada. US treated Canada as a semi-state of USA.
    1
  59.  @Yannis-ew2ok  Just look at how NATO/EU treated Ukraine. No joining of NATO. No joining of EU. Moldova should stop dreaming to be "western".
    1
  60.  @Yannis-ew2ok  NATO/EU instigated naive Ukraine to provoke Russia with NATO membership and nuclear weapons ( Recall Cuba crisis ? Now with war ). NATO countries of USA and Britain had given guarantee security agreements to Ukraine. But when Russia invaded Ukraine, they did not send formal, professional soldiers to help repel the Russian invaders. All NATO/EU gave were some defensive weapons and forbid Ukraine to attack Russia. Moldova is much smaller than Ukraine. If the incompetent Russian invaders could occupied 16% of Ukraine, it could conquer Moldova in months, if not weeks. NATO/EU would not interfere like when Russia annexed Crimea. Moldova should stop dreaming to be "western".
    1
  61. Given that Russian weapons are way cheaper the USA, its value for money.
    1
  62. Except 3rd world countries with/without civil wars and Russia government.
    1
  63. The mentality had changed with the Russo-Ukraine war. Europe had ostracised and rejected Russia with its various sanctions, unlawful confiscation of assets, seizure of foreign reserve and frozen accounts. Russia was forced to look east and become an Asian country with its Siberia.
    1
  64. India would demand big discounts from US weapons manufacturers.
    1
  65. Only 500 million ? Amount too small.
    1
  66. Russia didn't want Ukraine. It just wanted Ukraine to be a long term Neutral, Non nuclear armed sovereign state which Zelensky refused.
    1
  67.  @SmithenJW04k  My point ? For USA and Russia point of view, no need to deploy F35 to help, and SU57 against Ukraine.
    1
  68. To be delivered in 2024, unless Donald Trump wins the election.
    1
  69. Yet he only rely on US sources.
    1
  70. No need to take back. The Russians would be bombarding the trenches that the Ukrainians are holding.
    1
  71. Everyone forgot that Ukraine had been "training" its military for 8 years with US advisors before the war started.
    1
  72.  @orionide4032  Really ? What's the name of Ukraine currency ? How much do the currency worth in relation to Ruble ? I've heard that 100 Ruble = 1 USD.
    1
  73. USA had signed "rock solid" guarantee security agreement with Ukraine before the war. However, Biden dishonoured the agreement by not sending a hundred thousand formal, professional US soldiers to repel the Russian military from Ukraine.
    1
  74. To Biden, poor people on that burnt Hawaii island were cheap.
    1
  75. Ukraine is in worse shape, as it had lost half of its total population during 2 years of war.
    1
  76. You didn't take into account that US government is going to "shut down" soon due to politics gridlock. I doubt USA could aid Ukraine with billions of USD in 2024.
    1
  77. Not enough young men. For Ukraine, Zelensky is already drafting 16 years old minors for war. If Poland really send the Ukrainian refugees back to Ukraine, Zelensky could draft them to the frontlines to cover the manpower gap. For Russia, after Putin committed its 1 million regular soldier into the war, then he'll draft young men to the meat grinder.
    1
  78. Fight till the last abled Ukrainian !
    1
  79. Nowadays, USA does not have new operational weapons in abundance. Even F22 is decades old.
    1
  80.  @dopecat15  Ukraine is not in a position to refuse the donations. Those bad condition tanks could be used as spare parts for the good condition tanks. Beside, got old, light tanks better than no tanks.
    1
  81. USA is big but after decades of experience, still useless. Worse, the whole world witnessed its fleeing from Afghanistan and abandoning civilians back to Taliban terrorists.
    1
  82. @Present-Tense  Not so. Putin already realised that Zelensky will ultimately lose.
    1
  83. Yet, middle class Americans and poor people could not survive without Make in China products. That's the reason USA lost the trade war with China.
    1
  84. Nah. Its the Indians that got hammered.
    1
  85. Which means Abrams need to have a petrol station nearby for their daily operations.
    1
  86. They had.
    1
  87. USA did not gladly send them. Germany forced USA. No Abrams, no Leopards to Ukraine.
    1
  88. Milley already retired.
    1
  89. Just poisonous to the personnels and to the environment.
    1
  90. No. Its American. They loved to Vroom......
    1
  91. Weren't the US politicians and military experts said that its cheap to use Ukraine to weaken Russia, 1 year ago ?
    1
  92. "The Ukrainians have moved north. Time to take Odessa !"
    1
  93. Since Ukraine failed in their Kherson assault, it means their military forces is 5th rate ?
    1
  94.  @MostlyPennyCat  but Ukrainian soldiers do.
    1
  95. ​ @sababugs1125 Then what happened ? The weapons that were sent to Ukraine were been labelled as Wonder, even Game Changer weapons. In the end, this is the result ?
    1
  96.  @sababugs1125  270 vehicles lost for Ukraine Vs 353 vehicles lost for Russia ? The figures showed that western equipments were not so much advanced than Russia. I agreed with you that not enough been sent. USA alone should have send a thousand instead of a few dozen.
    1
  97. 25/12/23 ( Monday ) 5.13 pm. On hindsight, the Ukrainian general was right in rejecting General Miley military strategy. The losses would be higher than what had been lost. The Ukraine military was retrained in NATO tactics, yet it dared to attack without air superiority. The Ukraine military was either plain stupid or too brave or too desperate or all the above. After 6 months, Zelensky summer grand counter offensive ended in failure. USA had cut all aids to Ukraine in favour of Nazi Israel. EU had rejected €50 billion funding to Ukraine. USA updated Ukraine would run out of artillery shells by Jan 2024. Ukraine would run out of money to pay its government employees and soldiers by March 2024. Though a few countries in Europe continue to aid Ukraine, its a drop in the bucket. Zelensky should negotiate a peace deal with Putin before Russia launch its own grand counter offensive in 2024. By then, with lack of weapons, ammo, manpower and money, Ukraine would be hard pressed to withstand Russia potential attack in 2024. Thus losing more land. Oh yes, since its still Christmas Day, may all viewers have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year !
    1
  98. More like the Ukrainian kid was dead than the Russian.
    1
  99. May not be. Russia still have a million regulars in Russia proper waiting to be mobilised.
    1
  100.  @lordinquisitorkell-lagan8215  Best war money can buy ? Yeah. Biden can end it all by stop supporting Zelensky.
    1
  101. Maybe because Ukraine blew up "Crimea" bridge and USA blew up Germany gas pipelines.
    1
  102. After USA lifted its debt ceiling, it bought Wagner mercenaries to aid Ukraine in the counter offensive ( my opinion ).
    1
  103. USA and UK should have sent formal, professional soldiers to help Ukraine repel the Russian "special military operation" in 2022.
    1
  104.  @schmetterling4477  The original comment pointed to actual jets and attack helicoptors, not just drones.
    1
  105.  @schmetterling4477  Too late. A larger percentage of NATO armours had been destroyed together with many thousands of Ukraine soldiers life.
    1
  106.  @schmetterling4477  NATO might not be concern for their military hardwares since mostly its on lend/lease, but how many Ukrainian conscripts/soldiers life could Zelensky wasted ?
    1
  107.  @schmetterling4477  Same with Ukraine. 10 million Ukrainians had scattered across Europe with a few million in Russian occupied area. The longer the conflict goes on, the less abled Ukrainian that Zelensky could send to the attrition war. In the end, NATO/EU would fight Russia till the last abled Ukrainian.
    1
  108.  @schmetterling4477  4 million Russian soldiers dead/wounded with 100% military equipments destroyed before mop up by NATO ? You are too optimistic that NATO/EU are willing to support Ukraine for decades in war against Russia.
    1
  109. After Ukraine opened the flood gates from their dams upstream, the water level were of course record high at the dam held by Russia.
    1
  110.  @johncnorris  Common practice to open all flood gates from all dams that Ukraine held, at once ? One week before the destruction of the dam that Russia held ?
    1
  111.  @johncnorris  You were asking whether I knew the opening of flood gates are common in spring when the snow melt. I then question you back that is it a common practice, to open all flood gates of all dams on the upstream held by Ukraine at the same time, one week before the "destruction" of the dam held by Russia. If you don't know, then say you don't know.
    1
  112.  @johncnorris  That was not trolling. That was refreshing your memory of what were being posted by us a few hours ago.
    1
  113.  @johncnorris  You really wanted to forget what you had posted ( sigh ).
    1
  114.  @johncnorris  You're the one who wasted everyone's time by not showing evidence. Only knew to label others as "troll".
    1
  115. Dying in meat grinders ?
    1
  116. But Ukraine is just pawn of USA to drag Russia down with it to hell. No need for USA to let Ukraine win, just fight till the last abled Ukrainian.
    1
  117. It did deprive Crimea region and nuclear plant of its water source for drinking and cooling. It also destroyed Russia defenses on the other side of the river. Thus, its considered as offensive.
    1
  118. Zelensky had delayed his grand counter offensive for over half a year. By your logic, his "real" grand counter offensive might only take place in 2024.
    1
  119. A lot of Russians may not need to go home to protect Mother Russia, since there are still a million soldiers in Russia proper that Putin could mobilize.
    1
  120.  @againstviralmisinformation510  Russia has no say in ending the war, because Zelensky Ukraine would not let Russia have the 4 regions and Crimea. The war would only end when NATO/EU decide not to support Ukraine in war efforts, or Russia fully engage into crushing Ukraine.
    1
  121.  @besconst  dude, stop being ignorant.
    1
  122. Not really. Ukraine is just a pawn to drag Russia with it down to hell.

  123. 6/10/23 ( Friday ) 2.04 pm. Chris Cappy was contradictory and confusing in his representation. On one hand, he praised the technological advances of F16 over MiG 29 and SU 27. Later, he said that those European F16s "donated" were planes that were going to be retired by Denmark and Netherlands, which meant that those "technologies" were been used in 1970's and 1980's. Not so technology advance against Russian planes as he claimed. On one hand, he said that F16 have longer "lifespan". Then he progressed to say it needs intensive maintainance with many qualified ground crews and spare parts that Ukraine lacks. He said F16 could stay longer on air and have longer operational range.....provided the planes are based on "pristine" air bases. That means the Russians just need to bomb any identified Ukraine air bases to make them "dirty" for F16 to operate. With so many "restrictions", how is F16 going to help Ukraine gain air superiority over Russia ? To make it worse, recently Poland, the hard core supporter of Ukraine "sanctioned" Ukraine. Even Biden was powerless to stop USA from cutting all aids to it. F16 would have few chances to fly over Ukraine air space in 2024. With NATO "donations" drying up, Zelensky might be forced to negotiate for peace with Putin. Bad news for him. Good news for Ukrainian men.
    1
  124. @besconst  No. NATO rejected Ukraine application only after Russia invaded Ukraine. NATO betrayed Ukraine.
    1
  125. "Democracy" at works.
    1
  126. Its USA fault for instigating Ukraine into provoking Russia into war. So its only right for Americans to pay with their USD. Meanwhile, Ukrainians pay with their blood.
    1
  127. @besconst  It's true but NATO rejected Ukraine application.
    1
  128. The war would likely end in 2024. F16 would not have much impact.
    1
  129.  @BojanPeric-kq9et  I was referring to F16 jet. As for the number of old F16 that Ukraine would receive eventually, I doubt it would number in hundreds.
    1
  130. You're mistaken. Ukraine would be flying old version of F16. So it would not be BMW. Just hope that it would not be flying F16 A/B against Russian planes.
    1
  131. Very few since the US ( Ukraine ) pilots would not be paid.
    1
  132. Are they F16V ? If not, they would be shot down by S400 and Russian planes.
    1
  133.  @besconst  You didn't know Zelensky insisted on joining NATO and agreed to deploy US nuclear arsenal after joining NATO, which resulted in war ?
    1
  134. The "donated" F16 from Denmark and Netherlands that they are going to retire would most likely be A/B/C/D variants. Not much better than MIG 29 and SU 27.
    1
  135. But Ukraine would be using the old version of F16 against Russian planes. Just hope that it's not F16 A/B type.
    1
  136. I think he is talking about stationing F16 on the west-western Ukraine, then fly over to do battle on the east or south side of Ukraine.
    1
  137. Wrong comparison with Navy vs Air Force. In Nov 2023, Russia already down 2 dozen Ukraine jets and 3 dozen drones.
    1
  138. Not so amazing. He had some contradictions in the video.
    1
  139.  @zodiacdriver3852  Unless Norway, Denmark, Netherlands and Belgium decommissioned their few hundred F16 in 2024 and handover them, together with missiles, ammo, spare parts and maintenance crews plus experience pilots to Ukraine, Ukraine would not have a boost in air defence.
    1
  140.  @zodiacdriver3852  Expect surprises ? I already surprised that Biden and USA had cut all aids to Ukraine before Donald Trump even becomes President.
    1
  141. Unfortunately, USA would not be paying for the services.
    1
  142. No need to be so excited over just 3 planes in Romania, not Ukraine.
    1
  143. A Ukrainian piloting F16 C/D or older version of A/B would have difficulty or no chance beating Russian MIG 31.
    1
  144. If USA honoured its guaranteed security agreement signed with Ukraine and send a 100,000 formal, professional soldiers to help Ukraine against Russia. The war would be over in 2022. Thus, no need for Ukraine to become a NATO member etc.
    1
  145. The Russo-Ukraine war might end in 2024 in favour of Russia. Their training might not help Ukraine much. Perhaps those Ukrainians might find employment in US Air Force ?
    1
  146. Thanks for the info. I never thought of EMP factor.
    1
  147. Since USA had cut all aids to Ukraine, could some rich guys like Elon Musk sponsor some A10 ?
    1
  148.  @eeeertoo2597  Russia withdrew to the other side of the river from Kherson, while Kharkiv was too lightly defended for Ukraine to claim major victory.
