  1. Russia literally captured nothing. They crowed about Maryinka, which is just a field and took 25k KIA to take. Ukraine actually made progress.

  3. Sadly, the states don’t have that authority nor ownership of the equipment. Individual states could vote to provide economic / other aid, but that’d be a very bad idea. It’d give the GOP the excuse to pretend that was a viable alternative and continue blocking funds.

  4. They are murders. Better question is why does the mainstream media no longer think this is worth reporting on?

  5. The experts and newspaper went from “they’ll lose in three days” to “they’ll easily split the Russian army in summer 2023 even without half the tools we promised” to “Russia is winning - they took Merykina after only 2 years despite it being on the edge of Dontesk” (and was basically just a field since 100% of the tiny village’s structures were flattened completely - so no utility as a fortification or places to hide while advancing. - that Russia lost around 125 AVs (IFVs, APCs and MBTs) + 10k KIA.

  6. Meanwhile, they also say nothing about how Ukraine has fully driven the remnants of the BS Fleet away and achieved the ability to sxport grain. Or how Russian has lost tens-of-thousands in a two-month period and around a thousand major systems (tanks, IFVs, APCs, TOS-1, MLRS, artillery systems, jets, helicopters, GBADs, etc., etc.)

  7. While I agree that Australia is yet another rich and powerful country doing a tiny bit and patting itself on the back, those F/A-18s are in quite poor condition and would likely just be an added complication now that the F-16s are actually coming in semi-decent numbers. Now, if a country volunteered to do full overhauls on them or at least enough to make them useful.
