  1. Traditional African dancers in Johannesburg gave Lavrov a welcome he won't soon forget.

  2. What really matters is who is pulling the strings?? One "lone-wolf" is believable; TWO in a matter of weeks?? There is no such thing as a "coincidence".....

  3. Well, he did choose to walk away from the peace agreement in Istanbul. He chose to split the $20B NATO army resulting in failure of the counter offensive. He chose to send marines trained by the UK SAS into Krinky where they were almost completely destroyed. Don't you think he has earned some blame?

  4. Yeah when I hear UPS drivers now getting $170K that caught my eye. Software dev makes $200K but has to invest huge amount in CompSci degree. Truck driver has to invest nothing. Something is out of balance.

  5. All such grain would end completely, just like the gas pipelines through Ukraine are now blocked. Polish farmers would actually LOVE that. 😂

  6. Anyone being honest will admit that Russia has destroyed the myth of Western superiority in weaponry. Technically, NATO weapons are of higher quality overall, however in combat conditions the gap erodes to a significant degree. That small advantage is then more than compensated for by Russian numerical superiority. Perfect example is M777 howitzer. It cost $4M, while a Russian D-20 howitzer has the same range, but cost $300K, literally 10 for every 1 M777. On the range or at a Parade, the Western weapon is superior. In the dirt, mud and years of brutal warfare, the Russian is superior. That is one of the main reasons Ukraine's offensive failed so miserably. Bradley takes one hit and all its fancy tech is broken beyond repair. A BMP-3 takes a hit and its back in action the next day.

  7. Pretty graphics but reality is far different. Ask Budanov how well those air defenses in Kyiv work. You'll have to wait until he comes out of the coma though...

  8. UAF can't use armor in the assault because the Ka-52 and Mi-28 are hovering 10 km away and nailing them like rabbits.

  9. Funny how simply choosing neutrality and non-alignment like Sweden would have precluded war. What did the average Ukrainian citizen in 2018 believe they could only have if their country was part of NATO, that they could not have if they were neutral? Why not simply say "we want to evolve to an EU-style manner of living, but no NATO military alliance ever; that is not for us". India just turned down NATO this week saying the exact same thing. Why Ukraine could not also have done this and avoided war?

  10. Russia must have gotten the same memo. The past two weeks they've bombed troop trains, airports, vehicle repair facilities, large ammo storage sites (one inside an old prison), grain storage, at least five large bridges over the Oskil river, oil refineries and pipelines, parking garages (AFU uses a lot of cars/SUVs now to move troops to/from contact line), etc.

  11. So, your slogan is: "Support taxpayer money for Ukraine so they die and we don't"

  12. 30 years ago. Crying about that is like crying about not having a crystal ball to see tomorrow's stock prices.

  13. Not even another "Battle of the Bulge", at least in that one the Germans had a goal (Antwerp). No military historian can find a real parallel for what this is....."

  14. Each has its use. FPV drones just annoy tanks; while a 155 will blow any tank into pieces so small you would never know it used to be a tank.

  15. ?? Russia is vastly stronger today than they were two years ago. Your comment makes no sense

  16. At this point, the term "Western" is essentially a pejorative...

  17. Where you get that idea? Davydov? It will be just as Vance said. Ukraine accepts terms, hostilities end, a DMZ is carved out, Ukraine is neutral and pays for damage to Donbass. Peace ensues.

  18. Ukraine been doing that for over a year now. Where you been???

  19. Well technically, a "cruise missile" has historically been able to be programmed for "waypoints"; i.e. it is capable of changing its flight path either via program or with some level of autonomy. So far, a "drone" cannot do that; it uses satnav to just fly the shortest path to its destination. However, the moment they get that capability, their cost goes up, but at that point it probably becomes a "cruise missile"...."

  20. Once RU started building them under license; their cost per unit went way, way down.

  21. I like how he subtly says "it will probably be an additional force..." when illustrating what it will take the get through Russian defenses. Basically, none of the men who start the process will live to see its successful end. You Ukrainians REALLY think being in NATO was worth all this??

  22.  @patrickdyck354  Lockheed Martin baby!!

  23. Russian Sukhoi-70 Okhotnik stealth drone has 6000 mile range and 4500 lb. capacity, and prototypes already spotted over Ukraine. Outperforms Valkyrie at half the cost.....which we now see is typical of all Russian weapons vs. their Western equivalent

  24. Yeah 14 Challengers.....for a defensive line 500km long. Great idea.

  25. It is about time we stop discussing the minutiae of men, tanks, and shells and start discussing who in the US and NATO we are going to hold to account for this disaster.

  26. How fancy does it need to be to fall out of the sky and explode?? Remember the American Switchblade drones delivered to Ukraine with such fanfare in 2022? They were flawlessly made by the American MIC (and cost 20x what a Chinese FPV drone cost). RU jam GPS and they fell out of sky like flies hit with Raid. Simple = Better."

  27. Sighhh....this war has forever turned the phrase "game-changer" in a meme of ridicule...

  28. How old are you?

  29. Two completely different types. Lancet is a precision loitering attack drone; it has a high tech EFP warhead designed to penetrate the strongest tank armor. The Shaheds primary purpose is to occupy air defense by swarm; they are accurate enough to hit things like power stations, factories, or energy terminals but not individual tanks. A Lancet costs about $40K, while a Shahed (produced by Russia) about half that...."

  30. that guy is going to make millions over the next few years on the "I told you so" circuit.

  31. ...only if you agree with them....

  32. Russia will Kinzhal any base with a runway long enough for an F-16.

  33. Daily updates from CNN are not worth anyone's time.

  34. When the totals come in after the war, it will boggle the mind. Ukraine has lost a generation of its men----Prigozhin wasn't joking a month ago when he said they were capturing old men and teenage boys.

  35. These guys are like Cobra from the 80s GI Joe TV show. The whole world trembles at the mention of Wagner. What a brand these guys have built.
    3
  36. All these weapons. Total aid to Ukraine in two years = $204B (which exceeds Ukraine's entire pre-war GDP). It would be like the world giving the United States $1.8T over two years. 50 nations vs. Russia....yet Russia is winning. How is such a feat possible?

  41. Wasn't that myth debunked in March?? You still with it? You must be Antony Blinken... 🙂

  42. ...but Ukraine has no materiel superiority, Russia does. Imagine Normandy with the Wehrmacht having 4x of everything the Allies had. A bit different...

  43. No, the EU cannot. They are utterly incapable of providing enough of almost anything you could name, in the amounts needed, in the timeframe needed, to make any difference.

  44. Ahh, our "betters" preparing us for the next round of "they need our help, they are defending Democracy!". I long ago shifted most of my portfolio to Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, RTX, and Huntington-Ingalls. Better than Vegas; you can't lose.

  45. which the Ukrainians have none of.

  46. Yet Americans were told for six months how "unimportant" this battle was, and here now the media finally tells us the truth that it is the gateway to the rest of Ukraine. Oh by the way Russia just planted their flag in the center of it yesterday.... How convenient.

  47. Hilarious. The least "high tech" weapon, is the one NATO simply cannot keep up with Russian and NK manufacturing capacity to produce. The artillery shell. Not $80M "magical" F-35s, not $13B supercarriers, the shell. Little different than what brought the walls of Constantinople down in 1453; and the richest countries by far on earth are being beaten mercilessly at making them by some of the poorest.

  48. Leader of right-leaning Hungarian Party: If Ukraine falls, Hungary will demand Transcarpathia. Leader of right-leaning Romanian party: If Ukraine falls, we will enter the Western Ukrainian region of Bukovinia as it is our historical territory. Ukraine's "friends" are already planning to carve up her carcass once Russia is done with it. I am 100% convinced NATO will have to enter Ukraine either late this year or early in 2025 to halt the Russian steamroller and negotiate a truce. Like in early 1945, we are now in a race to see how far each side can get before the Armistice.

  49. Right. With a Challenger 2 on a training ground. Do you know that Sunak expressly forbade Ukraine from using the Challengers in "risky" operations after the "Bradley Square" debacle a month ago?

  50. at this point such "glory" will be similar to that which Sparta enjoys.
