  1. I always kinda felt like he was RINO, which was why I wasn't too keen on seeing him head up State.

  2.  @urnamehere9237  It's important that we distinguish between the fighters and the political leadership. I supported our troops throughout the Iraqi and Afghani conflicts, even while I abhorred the political decisions that put our guys in harm's way.

  3. I think you're seeing larger formations and more manned sorties flown by the Russians, and I speculate that it is due to the attrition of Ukrainian air defenses. But yes. In general, you are not seeing massed armor attacks, because massing forces of any kind sufficient to run a traditional blitzkrieg/shock-and-awe campaign is just asking to be targeted and destroyed. I think U.S. intel and arms support was only paused, and only briefly, but the obvious distortion is "There are still Ukrainian forces inside Kursk," since we all can look at the map and see how far they made it against token resistance, compared to how much territory they hold, now, Anyway, the purpose is to destroy Ukraine's war-fighting capability and compel it to peace. This can't be measured in mere territory. I mostly agree with Larry. I think the Russians have fought to minimize their losses, with the possible exceptions of Bakhmut and other strategic cities. This is something I didn't understand about Russian tactics and strategy. Why not bypass those cities and just lay siege? I can see where the classical pincer movement is much more difficult against modern munitions and satellite surveillance. The advance needs to be orderly, and self-supporting, like a pawn chain in chess. Before they can really secure new ground, they have to push what must be limited (but growing) numbers of air defense and ECM systems forward. Maybe that's why.

  4. Let's not get too carried away, Larry. I think the Taliban were able to obtain SAMs and RPGs that proved very effective against both Soviet and American helicopters. It wasn't ALL just sidearms.

  5.  @andrehunter1295  The really deceptive thing about this conflict is all we ever see are skirmish-level attacks and isolated drone strikes. But you have to multiply that by the number of skirmishes, when all these small battles, day after day, month after month, add up to enormous casualties and equipment losses.
