Youtube comments of Trevor Sutherland (@trevorsutherland5263).

  1. The brief look of surprise on Putin's face is priceless. This guy is a master of presentation; he is almost NEVER caught off guard, but here, for a brief second, he was. Hilarious!! 😂
    9200
  2. There is an article in todays Washington Post that says Kursk fell due to "overwhelming numbers of North Korean troops". Not a single mention of the pipeline op. I'm not joking. 🙂
    2900
  3. I really like how Russia treats even the tiniest Nations with the same formality , protocols, and respect they do massive Nations. It says a lot about Russia's self confidence; they don't need to put others down to make themselves feel superior like Western Nations do.
    2100
  4. Those Thompsons would be worth their weight in gold here in the US to collectors. Maxim guns?? Over 100 years old and in pristine shape?? After the war the whole mine should be turned into a museum. Tourists from all over would pay to see all that perfectly preserved history.
    1900
  5. There is more (grudging) acknowledgement of Russia's martial prowess the past month in Western Media, than in all previous months of this war combined. They are not saying "shovels" and "conscript" and "poorly led" anymore...
    1400
  6. I'm 48 and the way we interacted with women when I was in my 20s is so different from the experience of a 20 year old man today, I may as well have lived and died during the reign of Emperor Constantine. My eldest son is 20 and I stopped giving him "advice" on girls around four years ago as I realized my world didn't exist anymore and anythng I had to say was irrelevant. 30 years ago when my Dad had the same talks with me, his stories from the 1960s were a bit out of date, but mostly by degree. The differnce between my dating world and that of my son is not one of degree; it is more like I was born and raised on Earth, and he was born and raised on one of Jupiter's moons.
    1000
  7. I'm a child of the Cold War, never in my life could I ever have imagined I'd be rooting for Russia, but here I am rooting for Russia.
    990
  8. Can you imagine the fear those boys must have felt in their final seconds??? Realizing this girl really wasn't going to stop? Imagine their parents; their sons killed over stupid teenage emotional outburst. Nahh, little girl, no tears for your consequences; anything less than two life sentences is a travesty of justice.
    931
  9. I realize you hardly thought your channel would one day be "political" when you started, but I must commend you for not changing in the face of world events. People living in NATO countries need to see Russia with their own eyes, and you are helping immensely to do that.
    774
  10. When I was 13, a 47 yr old woman would have looked like an extra from "The Walking Dead" to my eyes...."
    763
  11. I give him credit for not running away from responsibility; as King he is symbolically responsible for everything that happens in the country. You can't be "King" only when things are good and everyone loves you...
    648
  12. Wow! Why isn't this on CNN or BBC!!?
    623
  13. I love how even the weakest among the world are finally standing up to the American bully. Even the Houthis have forced the US to negotiate
    600
  14. My God.... imagine if those had warheads, even just conventional. I've never seen anything like that before, no one in the world has. That was just the RS26 with just empty shells, not even the monster RS28 with twice the capacity
    592
  15. Liar.
    579
  16. Why on earth would a Colombian citizen go fight for NATO???
    578
  17. Italy sent a huge army into Russia in 1942 in support of their ally, Germany. 235,000 Italian troops fought at Stalingrad but the Red Army destroyed them almost to a man. Italy will NEVER in a thousand years send an army to Russia again.
    523
  18. With a car like this, there is almost no destination you could think of that would be better than the means that got you there.
    498
  19. Every time I begin to feel a little sorry for Ukraine, I see a video of an armored vehicle with a balkenkreuz ( german cross) painted on it, firing at the Russians, and all my budding sympathy evaporates. Why? After two years why would Azov brigade continue to do things like this which only makes them appear to be exactly what Putin calls them??
    494
  20. Imagine that you can tell your kids you watched the start of the third world war in real time while on an airliner. Assuming you are around to have kids and there is a world left for them to grow up in....
    491
  21. Russian engineers already planning to switch from washing machine chips to those from a microwave oven. Iskander will now hit 10 feet further away from aim point....
    478
  22. West Media has ignored it as long as they can but they can't anymore. Even on DW, the newsman asked the expert: "isn't "moving to more advantageous positions" just a fancy way of saying "retreat"? The expert cleared his throat and said: "yes". 😂
    467
  23. HALF the price of a Model 3 (and 10x the build quality). This is the true game-changer.
    447
  24. Zelensky points and says "See , a North Korean!!"
    444
  25. They have the Abrams M1150 mine clearing vehicle almost perfectly intact. It was hit by a drone disabling its optics and, unable to see, the Ukrainian crew abandoned it. While the Abrams basic design is 40 years old, the M1150 went operational in 2009 and is the US Army's current mine clearing platform; its not some "old junk we don't use anymore" like the Democrats always try to tell us. It has a plow that digs up mines, an automatic flag-planting attachment to mark where it has worked, and a rocket-assisted explosive charge that detonates mines out 150 meters in front of it. It is a highly capable machine that costs $15M each. That is America's front line stuff in Russian hands thanks to Joe Biden.
    437
  26. Wow.... These are the sounds of history shifting and changing and unlike most of history, this is recorded in full HD sound and video so no future historian can get it wrong.
    429
  27. This will be an amazing story to read about after the war. A year ago, the attack helicopter appeared to be the "battleship" of the Ukraine war: irrelevant due to cheap AA missiles. Now, they're back with a vengeance. I read a story the Ka-52s operate in pairs with Mi-28; the latter having more armor and each using a different anti-missile system to cover the other. They now sit totally unseen and unbothered 10km from Ukrainian armor and just plink them like rabbits at night.
    384
  28. Of course Shoigu would be "threatening"; you been talking openly about joining the war against Russia for a month now. What France expect? Him to be friendly and agreeable??? LOL.
    383
  29. One of the greatest benefits of your channel is information like you gave in the first half of the vid. As a born and raised American, we typically learn NOTHING about modern Russian society and civilian life. I've learned a great deal about both this year just from watching you as NO MEDIA OUTLET IN THE US HAS EVER OR WILL EVER run "close ups" about Russian citizen soldiers and patriotism. All we are (still) told about Russian army is "they are drunk, poorly-trained, poorly-led conscripts". I am 100% sure our ignorance (at the highest levels including the Oval Office) about Russia contributes to our policy relative to them.
    367
  30. My favorite aspect of your updates is the deep historical context you give whenever RU soldiers identify their units. This is something unique to your channel; NO other channel does this and it is more than just fluff for history nerds; it makes a difference. For example, when Avdiivka fell, CNN/BBC were still on the "RU conscripts don't want to fight" narrative. Yet, in your summary of the battle, you clearly showed Russian soldiers from freaking Siberia proudly displaying their battle flags. Along with the DPR troops we knew were there, it showed that the RU Army is made up of many different men from all over Russia's vast multi-ethnic interior and they all share pride in their country. We haven't seen that "poorly led conscripts" narrative from the West now in two months...
    366
  31. Marines. No matter which country they are from, they are the bad-asses of the lot.
    364
  32. Constantly arguing is NOT typical of all relationships.
    363
  33. Outside of US, UK, and French media; everyone calls this whole thing a waste of time----at best.
    361
  34. That 31,000 number is so nuts that we have to assume the number is only meant for his audience (Ukrainians). He may be leaving out foreign soldiers, missing in action, etc. Or, its psyops with Budanov behind the scenes; no one asked him, he volunteered it. Which means he meant to put that number out there for some reason.
    355
  35. "You are outnumbered 10 to 1, so keep fighting" ---- Imperial Japan 1945
    354
  36. Former Wagner are now all Russian Army so the rivalry that may once have affected them is gone. They, along with Spetznaz, Pacific Fleet Marines, etc. all serve the Motherland first.
    344
  37. Every military channel has been saying for weeks AFU is going to make an offensive; the only question was where. RU will just attack the flanks and cut off this force and like the first "Battle of the Bulge" this one too will be seen as the beginning of the end..."
    343
  38. The T-72B3 has the same caliber gun as the T-90M and is easily capable of defeating any latest NATO tank with tungsten ammo.
    335
  39. Dear God in Heaven. There is an American willing to speak the Truth???? In the DEMOCRAT Party of all places???? This guy has my vote on that alone!
    315
  40. Medveyev usually plays the "bad cop" to Putin's "good cop"; he says crazy things to make Putin look reasonable. However this time I agree with the Crazy Uncle. Take it all. For the family...."
    314
  41. I honestly wish this stupid war had never started, but I also despise what the US and UK are trying to do to Russia and any country even remotely friendly to Russia. I fukin' hate bullies...even when they come from my own home.
    298
  42. Many in America are on your side Russia. It may not seem that way but we only get to vote once every four years.
    297
  43. I apologize. Yesterday I called this the new Operation Barbarossa; that is an insult to the real Operation Barbarossa. This is the Battle of the Bulge: a last gasp with all remaining offensive power to grab something of value in a war they know they cannot win...."
    297
  44. I miss Prigozhin. What an entertaining time that was six months ago during the Battle of Bakhmut. We'll never see anything like that again in our lifetimes
    285
  45. NATO keeps telling me they are not at war with Russia, but if their citizens support Russia in any way, they call them "traitors".
    285
  46. Didn't China try this last year and Zelensky pouted and stormed out?
    285
  47. Iraq is led by a Shia President, and the Shia as Iraq's largest religious sect, are firmly in charge. Which means Iran is firmly in charge.
    281
  48. All wars reach the peak of their intensity and brutality as they near their end; this one will be no different. Even Germany and Japan started out with "limits" on what they were willing to do in WW2. By its end, Dante himself could not have imagined the horrors they'd visit upon their foes, and their foes upon them...
    280
  49. Zelensky said yesterday hes willing to go back to 2022 borders now to "start" negotiations. Which would mean Russia would have to give Bakhmut back to start "negotiations". That comedian sure is funny!!!!😂
    279
  50. The only two people in the world keeping the NATO monster at bay
    266
  51. Saw all kinds of vids from Avdiivka over the past few days. AFU left in a hurry: DPR soldiers eating the Canadian "chili" and MRE's, opening boxes of shiny new ammo from the US. Towing away Bradley's and BMPs to fix them up, they even found a perfectly intact T-80A tank with shells laying all around... Avdiivka was no Bakhmut, with infantry only going building by building. It was taken almost how the US Army would have: guided bombs, helicopters, artillery, isolation of strong points, encircling areas of high resistance, etc. NATO terrified because after two years, Russia starting to fight like them.
    264
  52. If IDF did this US would say "well done"
    264
  53. Last week it was 40K AFU, then Monday it was 60K AFU, now its 80K AFU. Next week Ukraine will have more combat troops than Russia. Next month Ukraine will have one Million troops.
    264
  54. He didn't insult them like the Poles, or talk down to them as if they were dogs like the Americans and Brits do. That alone gets him half of what he wants from the beginning.
    261
  55. Zelensky has that "crazy eyes" look on his face when talking to Orban.
    255
  56. Politicians that don't listen to the people that elected them...why is that so common?
    254
  57. Lucky they did the story now; in about two weeks Chasiv Yar will be Chasov Yar.
    252
  58. Stone clubs and sharpened bone will still kill a human being as easily today as they did 20,000 years ago. As long as we are flesh and bone, no weapon is ever truly obsolete...
    249
  59. How would "we get past that"? If I'm on land you want, how else would you get me off?
    247
  60. Not even 24 hours in to this war and already both sides claim they've destroyed 1000 tanks, 500 planes, and have inflicted 7 to 1 casualty ratio on the other. Oh, and I think I saw a North Korean in Kashmir....
    239
  61. Owner already got his money's worth; 160K on a JLR engine is basically full use. I have a 2011 Jag XJ SC with 110K miles, last summer my 19 yr old was driving it and the rear (plastic) crossover pipe finally gave up and he saw the low coolant warning and steam from under the hood. I told him 2 years before the quickest way to kill an engine is to keep driving if you see low coolant warning or steam from under hood. The kid listened; he pulled over immediately and called me. It cost me $2500 to fix, but that's a lot cheaper than a new engine and I just did my errands in it today; idles so smooth you can hardly tell its running.
    237
  62. Both. They are both too good in their respective realms. The Mach 1 doesn't pretend to be comfy and luxurious; just raw sound and speed. Love it. The RC-F is peak Japanese GT. A bulletproof luxo-cruiser with the hard edge dialed up to 10. Love it. "stang around town, RC-F for road trips.
    234
  63. The entire world has learned from the Russo-Ukraine war. IDF uses cope cages, Hamas uses FPV drones, Houthi rebels are smart enough to obscure the horizon because even a tree line or hilltop can give away their launch position.
    229
  64. LOL. We are "messing" with them; they just reacting to US interference. Try this: leave them alone?
    228
  65. No matter the time, no matter the place, no matter the situation; nobody wants to be the last man to die on the last day of the war.
    225
  66. Ukraine has 300K troops but if you look at any map, pro-Ukraine, pro-Russia, neutral they all show the same units in the same place and you can see at least 130,000 of AFU is Territorial Defense Units. These are 57 year old men, long past their prime and good only for static defense (hence the name of their units). So, in terms of offensive high-quality combat strength AFU is only about 170,000. Of course all of this assumes full strength brigades and everyone knows that isn't true of AFU now after three months of brutal fighting. If AFU has 125,000 able bodied 1st line soldiers as of today I'd be surprised. The evidence of this is piling up and becoming impossible to ignore; they simply do not have enough assault troops anymore. Even their FPV drone displays look like cheap toys versus the Russian ones that look like they cost 10x as much. The blockade in the Black Sea is having its effect; Ukraine was smuggling tons of arms in those grain ships and now that the big ones are completely blocked the impact on AFU is unmistakable.
    223
  67. This guy has broken so many laws I can't even keep track of all the current indictments, pending indictments, potential indictments; and the crazy thing is that NONE of them are at all related to his biggest crime of all: Rebellion.
    222
  68. Yes, yes we ALL know this: A Toyota or a Honda. 🙂 However, life is short and no one wants to drive a Camry for 15 years. Please do a "best of the rest" most reliable. Exclude Toyota and Honda completely and give us the top 5.
    220
  69. I mean what does anyone expect? Kherson and Zaporizhzhia are the most heavily defended areas in the world at this point. Kherson is out of action due to the dam, so the entire focus is on Zaporizhzhia. Russia is moving forces there just as Ukraine is, so Zaporizhzhia is even MORE fierce than it was a week ago. By the time they break through 3 or 4 lines, Ukraine will have no NATO army left.
    216
  70. All those photos of happier times. In every relationship that ends in anger, pain, or even death it makes you sit back and wonder: "how did it go from this to what it is now"?
    215
  71. The Abrams is "mighty" only in the minds of Americans. It has NEVER once been tested in battle with a near-peer opponent; it has only fought ancient Iraqi tanks and militia with rpgs and IEDs. It has never faced T-80s, T-90s, Kornet atgms, attack helicopters, drones, 152mm laser-guided artillery.
    214
  72. They went looking for war, and war is what they found.
    214
  73. I give him credit for not running away. Responsibility always goes both ways; you can't be "King" only when things are good and everyone loves you...
    209
  74. Yeah more "sanctions" that both nations laugh at.
    208
  75. Because it isn't "Ukraine". It is the United States.
    207
  76. Wow.....Russian air-to-air missile has greater range than Storm Shadow. How can you NOT love a country that has been fighting 30 other countries for almost two years and is always one step ahead of their foes??
    204
  77. Seriously? Iskander never been shot down in two years of combat, while ATACMS shot down in first week of use. What an insult....
    204
  78. If your daughter is not married and becomes pregnant, she is in mortal danger! You cannot discount the fear and consternation a young man with no money will feel knowing that his child (and 18 year financial commitment) is imminent!! Be on guard! I am 49 and only just this past May my 18 yr old daughter came off child support (after my divorce from her mother in 2009). I have a Law Degree and make significant income; the child support I was paying for many years was greater than the average annual wage for our State . I was married and in my 30s so I was ready for it; an 18 or 19 year old male will find such a prospective future to be ABSOLUTELY TERRIFYING! Its 2024 and most males do not have a father to give them wisdom and guidance; these young men panic and do horrible things out of FEAR!"
    200
  79. IDF guy sounds exactly like Germany in 1915 when it torpedoed and sank the Lusitania: "Yeah we knew there are hundreds of civilians on the ship, but the British also loaded the ship with armaments so it's a legit military target".
    198
  80. AFU is building fortifications near "Kharkiv so fast they are doing it by hand; they don't have enough equipment and they know RU is coming very soon. Kharkiv is going to be turned into Artemovsk and this time, there will be no reversal"
    196
  81. She would've taken all the glory for the defeat of Russia, so too must she take all the agony for the defeat of Ukraine
    195
  82. Oh, its only an IRBM, not an ICBM....no worries then....
    191
  83. I have noticed over the months two things. The AFU FPV drones were more numerous before June, since then there has been a decrease in vids on many channels and many said it was due to intense Russian jamming near the front. Also, you can tell the Russian FPV drones are more sophisticated, their display doesn't look like the one from racing drone you buy on Amazon, it looks more "military"...nothing pretty, all business. The rotors look more robust, that last vid the drone appears to be at 3000 ft or more altitude. The Russian drones are manufactured, not homemade.
    186
  84. CIA is panicking here in the US; telling us that we need to approve the money for Ukraine because all their spy bases are now at risk of being overrun. 😂
    186
  85. The terrorist attack backfired for Ukraine. In the wake of the Moscow terrorist attack, Russian MoD reporting they are now getting 16,000 new volunteers a week , (up from about 7,500 a week the past year).
    185
  86. I saw this coming a year ago. When your whole army is made up of the equipment from 30 different countries, and you only have weeks or months to train, it is almost impossible to fight effectively with it. Not even American soldiers could take a German tank, French IFV, British APC and Polish artillery and have it all working together in four months of training. That is impossible. Ukraine cannot depot the American artillery they have for refurbishment because Russia will destroy any such facility as its size would make it impossible to hide. Instead they have to be shipped to Poland to be refurbished then shipped back. Ukraine can make Russia work harder for victory, but that is all---the outcome was never in doubt.
    185
  87. What is the definition of "lose"? ( Or "win"). Is it the same for each side? Israel-Hamas is more murky than Ukraine. Even almost two years into Russo-Ukraine war, most Americans think Russia wants to conquer all of Ukraine. They never said that, but no one really knows for sure. War goals can change halfway through as well...
    182
  88. US angry at anyone with a mind of their own. November can't come soon enough...
    178
  89. LOL. Putin's nuke threat wasn't for Estonia or France, hahaha! Russia don't need nukes for them; the nuke warning was for only ONE country: the United States of America. Go ahead and send them Estonia! All 65 of them...
    178
  90. Then Zelensky has to "ban" 45% of world population 😂😂
    177
  91. A Frenchman calling someone a coward? We really are living in an alternate Universe
    175
  92. I think by now anyone paying attention to this war closely knew that Ukraine's sea drone program was 90% UK, 10% Ukraine.
    174
  93. LOL. Polish farmers have signs up asking Putin to come "solve their Ukraine problem? 😂
    173
  94. "I fear that all we've done is awaken a sleeping Bear, and filled him with terrible resolve..."
    172
  95. Didn't Syrsky admit the exact same thing last week? "...Kursk failed to result in Russia taking troops from Donbas..." ???"
    168
  96. We voted against exactly this course of action.
    168
  97. I was against this war from the start as I believe US leadership primarily cared about getting a new NATO member State where they could gain a friendly naval base in Odessa and/or Sevastopol and one day put Aegis Ashore missiles closer to Moscow. Together, those two moves would absolutely cripple Russian influence on one side of the world and potentially open them to a NATO First Strike (is "Aegis Ashore" really defensive-only? Do you trust the United States??). To me, NATO made the first move to upset the "status quo" and is therefore responsible for "starting" the conflict. At this point, such a reality ever coming to pass is gone for at least the remainder of my lifetime. AFU will never push RU out of Crimea by force; the US Navy will never be able to base a squadron in Odessa, and while it is possible some "rump state" Ukrainian Republic could one day join EU, such a state joining NATO is equally unlikely for the foreseeable future. Now, this is just a war between Ukrainian nationalists and Russia over a bit of remaining territory and I could care less about who gets what in that regard.
    167
  98. US sails to the other side of the world and when the locals object, US calls it "self defense".
    166
  99. The implications of this are huge. These missiles are about $2M each but the issue is anything---and I mean anything---above ground in the Separatist Regions is now under threat like it never was before. It probably could hit stationary ships in the Black Sea port of Sevastopol as well. This is a massive escalation; it can't win the war of course, but its presence just increased the costs for Russia by a factor of ten. Imagine the amount of assets Russia will have to either move out of range or protect with more anti-air assets. One cannot overstate the logistics burden this weapon just imposed on Russia---even if they counter it by relocating/defending assets that is a huge amount of resources that would have been used in offensive action.
    166
  100. The guy who got the first Leopard 2 became somewhat famous in Russia after that. Whoever gets the first F-16 will become a rock star.
    165
  101. There are no "residents" in Bakhmut. If those are Russian shells, they are hitting Ukrainian soldiers.
    164
  102. That is just BOSS!!
    162
  103. I really like this Mustang. However these are pretty much $70K cars now and frankly, no matter how great it is, that is within $15K of a Cayman T. I'm sorry if you work for a living there is no way you can pay that much for a Ford Mustang when a Porsche (A PORSCHE) is another $150 a month. The Mach I is a great $55K car that unfortunately costs $70K.
    161
  104. Zelensky signed into law today a bill allowing foreign citizens to serve in AFU as officers . If that isn't "desperation" , I don't know what is....
    160
  105. Look at those beautiful babies! Always thought the Tu-160 "Blackjack" was a beautiful bird back in 1988 when Tom Clancy first wrote about it in his spy thriller novels. Only had a few pictures of it then, and no one in the West really knew its capabilities. The crazy thing is over 30 years later, the United States still does not have a strategic bomber capable of Mach 2 (and the UK doesn't even have a single bomber at all!). After Russia's performance the past two years, I no longer call any of their equipment by the NATO names I knew growing up. Russia has earned the right for its war machines to be called by their proper Russian names. The "White Swan" is all this plane will ever be to me from now on.
    159
  106. I personally have always liked the Ghibli but Maserati made an error a decade ago deciding to go for volume. Becoming an Italian BMW destroys the brand; BMW rose to its level of prominence; Maserati was always far "above" a lowly BMW and they decide to come downmarket to chase volume?? Bad idea. Alfa Romeo can be the Italian BMW (and are well on their way to achieving that). Maserati should be Porsche at a minimum; maybe even slightly above.
    158
  107. Those hypersonic washing machines are extremely accurate and destructive. The mighty Kinzhal (Dagger), Iskander (Alexander[the Great]), and Oniks (Onyx) will be the names of a new line of extremely expensive luxury washing machines made in China.
    157
  108. India will not arm anyone against Russia. You can forget that...
    155
  109. He was flown here on an American military aircraft, because as a Beggar, he has no air force to fly him here. I literally have to pay for this guy to come to town and beg for yet more of my tax money ....
    155
  110. All those towns were intended to be given up eventually. The goal of defense is to make the enemy pay too high a price to get past it. I see Fortress Zaporizhzhia doing exactly what it was intended to do.
    154
  111. Did all 144 hit the same dam building??? All morning all over the world the news show the same dam picture...."
    154
  112. This is essentially "Pearl Harbor" for Hezbollah....
    154
  113. This guy has been complaining about ammo for months, imagine what his army could do if they had sufficient ammo
    153
  114. Thank you for just saying what needs to be said: this "Grand Spring Offensive" is going into the history books with Gallipoli for utter futility and failure. There are a million reasons, but only one sums it up: Hubris. NATO did not respect Russia's martial prowess. Period.
    152
  115. Because there is about $5000 to $10,000 of "deferred" maintenance on them. You know, the maintenance the 2nd/3rd owner could not afford to do.
    152
  116. I'd love to know what "dark matter" really is, but I've lived long enough to know that soon after we figure out what it is and does fully, we'll figure out how to make a weapon out of it.
    151
  117. A $65K Lexus and you don't get leather?? Inexcusable. MDX is more flexible, carries more, can tow more, has real leather, frankly looks better, and is less expensive. Umm, MDX 100% of the time.
    151
  118. Every other news channel says "Houthis claim..." ; only Sky puts "Iran-backed" modifier in front.... Keep your minds open!!"
    151
  119. I saw an interview of several Chechen Akhmat Special Forces and their training ground where they were teaching recruits how to storm buildings and trenches. At one point the trainer was showing how to use an RPG7 and he held up the launcher as the camera zoomed in to the side and it said "AIRTRONIC Spring Branch, TX USA". He laughed and said "yeah, look here this RPG launcher we use was made in America." I was stunned; I had to go look it up and its true. That company was bought out now, but yes at one time it did make a lot copies of Soviet and Russian infantry weaponry. I'm still stunned how it got into Russia. Two years ago, as Biden didn't back down I thought "he is crazy to start a war with Russia". I knew I was right all along; never ONCE have I doubted I was right.
    151
  120. Unless you are ex-military or a war history nerd, most people have no idea how difficult it is to take occupied land from a hostile force. In 2004 10,000 US Marines took SIX weeks to defeat only about 4,000 Al Queda and Baathists in Fallujah, Iraq. They were dug into an urban environment, knew the land, and were fanatically motivated.
    149
  121. I think it was March or so when I started seeing Kursk 1943 all over again; even the town names were similar: Poltava, Belgorod, Mariupol, Kiev. They are literally fighting in the exact same area as 80 years ago. I thought "Russia will just do what they did back then as they are on the defensive, their rear is secure, and they have a lot more soldiers." Nothing I've seen in the past 6 months has changed my opinion.
    148
  122. Imagine a world in which the US just left these people alone? What would that be like?
    147
  123. Blame it on the person who can't speak for himself....oldest trick in the book.
    147
  124. Two weeks ago, Zelensky toured all the Fronts and the next day AFU sent the house in all three Fronts. At first, I thought he toured all his commands to inspire his troops; I now realize he was saying goodbye as he knew he'd never see most of them alive again.
    147
  125. Iran watched the US the past two years and learned the "rules of the game". Don't attack your enemy directly, use a proxy. If US attacks Iran, they will be breaking their own rules. Smart.
    146
  126. Can't argue with that. Any of us would have been in prison since 2020....
    146
  127. If Shoigu is in Iran, that means they are getting a major capability upgrade in something....maybe everything...."
    145
  128. These were Iran's smallest ballistic missiles; used both as a message of measured restraint and a warning that bigger is available if needed....
    145
  129. I have to give you credit (again) for giving us the details that help us understand what is REALLY going on in this war. You and a few others, simply cannot fully appreciate how little actual truth makes it to the front page of BBC/CNN/Telegraph/MSNBC etc. A couple weeks ago you explained how the coming muddy season was partially behind RU forces pushing hard to establish footholds inside various towns all along the front, as they knew that once the mud came, dislodging them until June would be almost impossible for AFU. Sure enough, we see a few days ago, AFU vehicles stuck in the mud and we now all know there will be no Abrams until June---it would get stuck or blown up within hours. 99% of us are not Ukrainians/Russians so it is these details that give us a far deeper understanding. I sometimes see articles on Western news and I really just shake my head incredulously: their readers don't hold them accountable because THEY DON'T KNOW ANY DIFFERENT THEMSELVES (AND DO NOT WANT TO KNOW). Keep it up my man!
    145
  130. It does not surprise me in the least that Russian's won the electronic warfare (EW) game in this battle. They've been EW Gods this entire war; it is one of the things you NEVER hear Western media make fun of the Russians about which just proves it is true.
    143
  131. Kids, this is what those of us older than 20 are USED TO in Presidents. Whether we agree or not, THIS is how LEADERS speak to us! NEVER FORGET IT!!
    142
  132. I've never seen anything like that in my life and I am 52 years old...
    141
  133. During the collapse of Avdeevka, Russia purposely left a 1 km wide corridor open to encourage AFU to flee. Then they used remote mine rockets to place mines all along this corridor so that AFU would hit them while retreating. The Bear stopped playing with its food sometime around last September.
    141
  134. No surprise. Saw the video of same thing last week with Ukrainian border guards using UAVs with thermal sights to catch men trying to leave the country.
    139
  135. Democracy in action!!
    139
  136. UK has no bombers for Rishi to inspect...
    138
  137. Analysts have noted the FAB bombs are getting more accurate
    138
  138. Keeping a helicopter stable over the deck of a rolling and pitching ship, while remaining at the distance needed to board is among the most difficult things a helicopter pilot will ever do.
    137
  139. Those of us who study history and were well versed in Russia long before this war have been vindicated. Just last week I posted on an article here how I just could not figure out why Russia is holding back. CNN types say Russia is stupid vodka-swilling incompetents, their economy a shambles, none of their equipment works, and they'd run away when the first Leopard 2 showed up. I knew none of that was true, but there was little objective proof-----until now. Russian defeated two of the largest armies in history in Napoleon and Hitler; by all accounts they should have turned all of Ukraine to rubble and steamrolled whatever was left 18 months ago. Putin's measured methodology is what created Prigozhin; many on the Far Right in Russia have long excoriated Putin for being too soft. Well, I guess Putin has waited long enough.
    136
  140. LOL. IDF using "cope cages"... No more jokes from Western Media like when Russia started using them back in April.
    136
  141. In a global economy, a country the size of Russia, with the resources it has, is impossible to isolate. It has an abundance of food and energy, two of the most critical needs in human life. No amount of Western finger wagging will stop people who are cold and hungry....
    135
  142. I am ashamed of this Administration. Period.
    135
  143. When you zoom out I see all these towns and cities that used to be in your daily reports, like Berdychi, Krasnohorivka, Berestove, etc. all now far behind the line surrounded by a sea of red. That's exactly how the steamroller worked in 1944, just as it is now doing in 2024: slow, steady, unstoppable. Each day it seems not much changes, but then a few months pass and you look at the map..."
    135
  144. RU always a bit slow to react, but once they do, its ggwp....."
    135
  145. "Russian volunteers" 😂
    134
  146. He is calling for TOTAL WAR; not just "let the Army and former convicts handle it".
    134
  147. France publicly stated it was a Patriot missile. Even if US didn't help Ukraine do it, that is still a system they are not supposed to use to attack Russian territory.
    133
  148. Anyone seen Vicky Nuland in the last 24 hours??
    133
  149. Ukrainian mercs are there with US and UK logistics; they are training and equipping the Touareg militants. Typical Cold War CIA stuff..."
    132
  150. Wow----20 years studying WW2 and never heard of this until now. Well done!
    131
  151. yet they are always vastly outnumbered by the Ukrainian bots; strange given the relative population size.
    131
  152. I said two days ago RU should come in and shield Iran like US shielded Israel
    129
  153. He was duped by the Indian recruiter, not Russia.
    129
  154. No CNN or BBC?
    127
  155. IDF says they weren't aiming at the church, but admitted their JDAM "knocked down the adjacent wall of the church". Like that matters...
    127
  156. Wow! Iskander is like 5m accuracy now! Putin always keeps his promises."
    125
  157. Everyone involved needs to be voted out, because they all been in too deep too long. Like a gambler on a losing streak, all they think about is "one more weapon and I'll finally win". NO, you won't. New thinking, new ideas because this game of "one-upping" each other has come to its natural end. Stupid war started by stupid people for stupid reasons....
    125
  158. These guys get three weeks "training" before being sent to their doom. Big article in Washington Post last week about the existing troops complaining how the new conscripts barely know how to shoot. This is a civil war they could have settled amongst themselves; NATO had all their financial interests in grain and natural gas and once Western money was tied up in Ukraine it became a proxy war.
    125
  159. YouTube will probably delete this, but there is no other way to put it: AFU in KURSK are FUKKED."
    124
  160. Bought this for my 17 y.o. daughter. I haven't looked at small econo-boxes since I finished college in 1994; I was stunned when I test drove this. Smooth ride, quiet at 75 mph, ROOMY!, interior looked better than "I'm the cheap one", and the mpg was incredible. Also, that upgraded stereo system sounds far better than it ought to----it is better than the HK system in my Alfa Romeo. Sure its slow, but who cares? Stomp the pedal to the floor and its noisy but fine; once you are up to speed engine is very quiet. I'm 6 ft and can easily sit behind myself plus the trunk is huge. I was close to getting her an Impreza, but when I drove this it was a slam dunk.
    123
  161. Dayum they coming out of the ocean now?? They swam from China??
    123
  162. Whoa! You Tube allowing such a dialogue???
    123
  163. Those Wagners man....they are going into the history books with Spartans, Persian Immortals, Centurions, US Marines in Pacific War, etc....
    122
  164. This Hodges guy must work for Disney as his specialty is fantasy...
    121
  165. I wonder why it took so long? I never thought there was a chance for them even two years ago, but I guess everyone wanted to see if the "Grand Spring Offensive" could actually do something. When it got smashed right away, a lot of people probably felt like "OK, this is not even remotely close to realistic, time for an armistice"
    118
  166. Make ALL Western vampires leave!
    118
  167. Now we see exactly why Ukraine's "$20B NATO-trained army" was crushed so easily. The $20B went to Northrop Grumman and Lockheed Martin for them to build shiny new weapons, while the ancient, 30 year old stuff in storage from Iraq 1/2, expired missiles, and cluster shells made before the ban, all that stuff went to Ukraine. The US Military got a "brand new $20B army", but AFU got the leftovers that were last used beating up Saddam. 😂😂😂😂
    118
  168. Vicky Nuland said the quiet part out loud in the CNN interview this week. "...we wanted a Westernized Russia that would be more European..." Strange that she never bothered to ask what Russian people want....
    118
  169. Ex Al Qaeda now in US/UK service...
    117
  170. Next Telegraph will tell us Chasiv Yar was just a "decoy city"
    117
  171. If you don't need the "bougie" feel (and off road hardware of a RR), this is the one to get. This 5.0 has been in 200,000 Jags and Land Rovers since 2010----it is well known, lots of them out there, and all its weaknesses from a decade ago remedied. There is no reason you can't get 150K miles out of it if you care for it properly. The trans is ZF, bulletproof. A decade from now people at the car show will pay you just to hear you rev it.
    117
  172. On another note, I think this is the first time I've seen a major media site interview a person who was in transit for the entire interview. Impressive.
    116
  173. I don't get this question at all. Iran has sold Russia many Shaheed drones last year as well as licensed Russia to make them---they use moped engines and cost only around $10K each. In return, Iran is getting brand new Su-35's which will allow them to jump three generations in fighter jet capability vs. Israel. One should not need hard proof to imagine Iran is selling low-rent things like artillery shells and rockets to Russia in the tens or hundreds of thousands.
    115
  174. The Russian Steamroller is slow, but steady; once it starts it never stops until it reaches Berlin. In this case, Kyiv will do...
    115
  175. I don't care what you may think of him, Putin exudes competence. He always puts Russia first and does not apologize for doing so, but he RESPECTS ANY other cultures as long as they RESPECT Russia. He is NOTHING like the duplicitous typical American or European leaders and diplomats
    115
  176. The news on this war is hilarious. Wagner pushes Ukraine out of last block of Bakhmut, but Western news only reports on the Russians moving back on the flank a few miles south Iof the city.
    114
  177. Russia just showed the world that NATO is nothing but words, and even the words arent that harsh
    113
  178. I bet Putin voted for one of the other guys, just to rub it in. 😂
    113
  179. Imagine China building a dozen Fujian-class supercarriers for Russia and Iran, Russia giving Iran a few Sarmat-class heavy ICBMs, and China better EW tech, and Iran sharing all their drone tech with both China and Russia. Together they will all be NATO-proof.
    112
  180. I visited there in 2009 and for me it was transformative in many ways. It really taught me that there is no real difference between a human born 10,000 years ago and one born 10 hours ago. Sure the modern baby may be much healthier, but only in relatively wealthy countries near cities with a lot of resources---one born today in rural nowhere would be virtually indistinguishable physically from one born in Pompeii 2100 years ago. The only difference is what we are taught after we are born. So, when others sometimes say "oh, people don't do / say / think that anymore...", I say BS. We haven't changed one bit; we are just healthier and have more knowledge.
    112
  181. Its been months since we have seen a TOS-1A Solntsepyok destroyed; two years ago you'd see at least 1 or 2 taken out per month. About a year ago RU boosted the range from 12km to 17km and that difference clearly has allowed them to remain out of reach of fpv drones. Small changes can have big results
    111
  182. The past month we've seen more vids from Ukraine of people fighting these recruiting officers, family members and neighbors jumping in to prevent them taking someone. Conscripts get three weeks "training" and then sent to the front where the average time to become a casualty is three days. Yesterday a group of about 8 Territorial troops (the old men), made a video saying they've been at the front 18 months without rotation and for Kyiv to send the "sons of rich people, politicians, police, etc." to come replace them. In Forbes there was an article last week about Kyiv freezing bank accounts of those who won't come back (and incredibly the US is OK with this). Who can blame them? This isn't 2022 anymore; to be sent to the front to face Storm-Z means the end of you.
    111
  183. Signal jamming; closer the drone gets the more the signal goes crazy. No more direct hits. Russia took the place back with two BMPs and 16 guys. It took Ukraine 3 months and 20,000 troops to take it last summer
    110
  184. Agreed. NATO just changed the weapons use policy to give AFU an advantage; RU is justified in taking off their restrictions as well...."
    109
  185. Hitting a moving vehicle with standard artillery is mostly luck; your spotter has to calculate where you'll be by the time the shell arrives, and if you turn right after he calls in the coordinates , they'll miss. Excalibur can't hit a moving target, and it gets jammed so easily AFU long ago stopped bothering to use it. With AFU not having that many guns and likely poorly trained troops manning them, you can forget stopping attacks like those. You may hit one vehicle but that's it. With the open country beyond Pokrovsk not being mined or having any bunkers, once RU passes it attacks like the one shown here will be an almost hourly occurrence...."
    109
  186. Hmmm, this guy seems to be all about taking care of the soldiers; both during and after the war. Smart move. Shoigu was the master of military logistics and built the steamroller; don't need another guy like that. This man seems to be the kind of guy you want AFTER the war...
    109
  187. My first BMW was a 1991 525i that I bought in 1995 and to this day I'm still emotional about it. The reason is it was the first car I ever had with: leather seats, heated seats, power headrests, a ZF trans, and it handled flawlessly. In the 20 years since I sold it, I can't think of a 5-Series I have ever wanted LESS than this new one...
    107
  188. Just like 1943: Russia is holding a defensive line behind a wall of gun barrels, while back in Siberia the factories run day and night pumping out weapons. Talk to someone who lives in the Urals and let them tell you what they've seen. Once the enemy attack is spent, they go on the offensive with a tsunami of new equipment and the steamroller doesn't stop until Berlin.
    107
  189. They'll beg Putin to bring back that paper he showed to the African leaders last week
    106
  190. Just like they did in 1943: Hold off the enemy while the factories in Siberia pumped out a tsunami of weapons. Then, in 1944 the steamroller starts and doesn't stop until Berlin.
    106
  191. "The Tsar's BBQ Grill" --- No. 434 on the list of Russian adaptations, mocked by Ukraine, then mocked by their mouthpieces CNN/BBC, then both go silent when the adaptation proves its worth on the field of battle.
    105
  192. Patriots not going to stop Kinzhal and Iskander"
    105
  193. I'm (pleasantly) surprised WSJ didn't edit out the video to remove the sign where some Polish farmer's asked Putin to "sort out their problem" with Ukraine and Brussels. CNN or BBC would have removed that for its viewers' tender eyes. WSJ does still appear to retain some vestigial shreds of journalistic integrity. My understanding from other sources is that those farmers were arrested by Polish police for "hate speech" 😂
    105
  194. or worse, for Joe Biden political ambitions
    105
  195. Heard about these a few months back. Adding a small jet engine greatly increases their range. 160km is incredible for a guided bomb.
    105
  196. In Missouri you can buy fireworks bigger than that every 4th of July.
    104
  197. I won't even lie. Yesterday greatly disappointed me as I thought Prigozhin was snatching defeat from the jaws of victory and based on his words and actions the past year, it didn't seem to fit his "profile". Prigozhin appears to be very, very committed to his soldiers. He calls them his "boys" often, and a couple months back when 40 of them were killed in one day in Bakhmut he was extremely pissed off; almost blind with rage since he felt if they'd had more suppressing artillery fire those men would not have died. He actually lauds the fighting spirit and honor of his enemies; you never heard him put down or insult Ukrainian soldiers. In short, he didn't seem like the kind of man who would sabotage the war effort of Russia; especially since he lost 25K of his own taking Bakhmut. The NATO "narrative" just didn't fit but at the time it looked like it was right. I come back after lunch and boom! everything changed. What a day. I don't think I'll understand it fully for years...
    104
  198. Slava Rossiya!!
    104
  199. I learned this a long time ago: The wealthier the neighborhood, the more criminals that live there.
    104
  200. Ukraine has not even breached the perimeter to hit the first actual defense line. This is almost insane: Ukraine does not have enough guns or ammunition to have done an artillery bombardment all along the line to hide exactly where the thrust will be. So the Russian defenders have nothing to worry about as they wait in their trenches and bunkers for the Ukrainians to come into range. Madness.
    104
  201. Even without all your detailed knowledge, a person keeping close tabs on the conflict via your site and others like yours could also see that Ukraine is "on the clock" , while Russia has all the time in the world. The Fall/Winter lull will just mean Russia will add more layers and more Lancets to their already formidable defenses, and now that they know Zaporizhzhia is the desired main Ukrainian attack axis, they'll just load that sector up even more over the winter. If Ukraine was going to use the Challenger, it has to be now because the Abrams isn't even planned to arrive until September meaning it is not available for this offensive. AFU cannot win. Period. They simply do not have enough of anything to outright bust through 30 miles of thousands of troops, missiles, mines, drones, and hundreds of tanks in Zaporizhzhia. However if they make a good show of it; defeating many times their number before they succumb, they'll probably get more NATO support over the winter. If the Challenger is publicly massacred like the Leopard 2 was in a new "Marder Square"? The war is over.
    103
  202. Nations have the right to defend themselves.
    103
  203. I have lost count of the number of instances where NATO has tried to "hurt" Russia in some way the past two years, and each has resulted in COMPLETE AND UTTER FAILURE.
    103
  204. Unbelievable. What kind of "police officer" fires at the first thing that darts into view, without knowing who it is, if they are armed, or ANYTHING about what he is shooting at??
    103
  205. ...now that Ukraine is about to conscript 50,000 women, they'll soon be seeing a whole new level of horror.
    103
  206. Sky just can't bring themselves to say "Russia won"
    103
  207. Also do not underestimate the impact the Naval Blockade is having. Ukraine was also getting a ton of lower-end stuff via these so called "grain ships". Small arms, grenades, etc. and componentry that was civilian, but they could use to make into weapons. That has dried up to a trickle now and while it took a while to have any effect, the past few weeks that effect is unmistakable.
    102
  208. Holy Christ. FAB-3000?? 6600 lb guided bombs with 10-meter accuracy and 60km range that are impossible to shoot down? A bomb that big will liquify lungs out to 2.5km from blast point.
    101
  209. Zelensky is hilarious. He is like Japan offering "peace terms" to the United States in January, 1945. 😂
    101
  210. If the part about the Swedes is true (and there are posts from Swedish bloggers that confirm it), this is a disaster of EPIC proportions for NATO. Those Swedes were training Ukrainians on using the AWACS EW planes announced earlier this year they were going to donate to Ukraine. The Swedes themselves lost their experts in AWACS , now making THEM far more vulnerable than they otherwise would be. Since the Napoleonic Wars, Sweden has not initiated any direct armed conflict with anyone and here in 2024 somehow Joe Biden convinced them to change hundreds of years of policy and look what they get for it. "...it may be dangerous to be America's enemy, but to be America's friend is fatal..." - Henry Kissinger
    101
  211. Battles are often won by one side doing something unexpected, but wars are won by logistics and manpower.
    100
  212. The grandfathers of the RU Army soldiers would be proud of them. Took an initial defeat, did not quit, went defensive, built up their power, took the enemy best offensive blow, then started up their steamroller and now they are unstoppable. Just like 1944..."
    99
  213. That game I played as a kid in 1982, "Missile Command" has come true 40 years later....
    99
  214. I'm sure they were impressed by Biden sending an American "Karen" to threaten them...😂
    99
  215. Yesterday at the UN Russia said "Ukraine's chance at a peaceful resolution has passed. The only offer Russia will accept is their complete capitulation." I'll give them credit; the Russian don't do nuance-----they say what they mean and mean what they say.
    99
  216. The End of the Post-WW2 Hegemony of the Untied States; and we all witnessed it in real time.
    99
  217. Conflict Freeze = "Stop winning while we re-arm and re-fit, so when we start fighting again I'll have a better chance." 😂😂😂😂
    98
  218. To me a "human wave attack" example can be easily seen in HBO series "The Pacific" from several years ago. The Japanese massed, then at one go they ALL rushed forward to the US Marines' positions, with NO PREPARATORY ARTILLERY OR SUPPRESSIVE MACHINEGUN FIRE. This actually worked well for them in China and vs. UK in Singapore earlier in the war, but against US Marines it almost always failed. I've never once seen a video of anything like that in two years of Ukraine war. Maybe it happened, but no one seems to have any proof.
    98
  219. NO. Kids must learn to stand up for themselves. Gun threats is one thing; but garden variety teasing and bullying should be handled by the kid themselves.
    96
  220. Zelensky fires 700 lb. rockets into Belgorod, Putin fires 7,000 lb. missiles into Kyiv. Seems fair to me...
    96
  221. The "estranged husband" yet again for the 155,649th time out of 156,000 cases.
    96
  222. Almost everyone who is objective on this, Weeb, HL, Military Summary said Robotyne looked like a trap; those fields have no Russian defenses because an open field is indefensible. I'm certain Zaluzhny knew it was a trap too but Ukraine has to have more than an empty town of 500 to show for three months and $20B in NATO training and weapons. Ukraine trading lives for land, while Russia trading land for time.
    96
  223. while 15,000 kids suffering same .... zero investigation...
    94
  224. Only the timing of this really surprises me. I always felt that the immediate post-war time in Russia would have a lot of drama. A 40K-strong force of the best shock troops on Earth now idle with no cities to storm; what do they do? Go into regular Army and be bored for little pay? Prigozhin would have a major problem on his hands if he didn't find useful work for his private army and no country, not even Russia, would want such a force sitting around with nothing to do. I guess the drama timeline was moved up...
    94
  225. The smart ones. There is no honor in being the last to die in defeat; ask any Imperial Japanese soldier.
    93
  226. Happened to me in Florida back in 2009. Had my relative go visit an empty property and she sent me photos of a truck in the driveway and someone living there. How they got in with no key I'll never know; probably broke in, faked a lease and had a locksmith change it I guess.
    92
  227. US Senator Lindsey Graham (biggest anti-Russia Hawk in Congress) yesterday: "I want the $10 to $12 TRILLION in critical minerals inside Ukraine to go the West, not to Putin and China." There ya go...
    92
  228. The cruise missile used Poland to exit Ukriane, turn around and reenter Ukraine to hit the target from a side where its defenses were not facing. Smart. Very smart.
    91
  229. Lviv is the #1 entry point for NATO weapons into Ukraine. Other than Kyiv, it is the biggest single target in the country. These people living there thinking they are not at risk are crazy.
    90
  230. "play by the rules on trade" ; from those who made their own rules, and break them when and where they see fit. 🤣
    90
  231. A year ago whenever I said "the Russian steamroller is coming", YT would delete it most of the time.
    90
  232. FAB-500 hitting from 60+ km away is astounding. JDAM is typically quoted as about 30 km range---even accounting for the fact its true range is never published, that just proves how capable the Russian version is. Wow.
    90
  233. When I was a kid, most of the world wouldn't dare fire a missile at a US Navy Carrier Strike Group. Today, under our recent leadership, every hothead with a cruise missile he got off Ebay is just itching to take a shot....
    89
  234. "Hurry and give me billions before Trump wins and I have to negotiate!!!"
    89
  235. Russia is still being too gentle; they keep leaving the buildings still standing. IDF would be very unhappy with Russian performance...
    89
  236. Russians, when Putin is gone, you all will realize how good you had it for 20 or 30 years. Look at the two men who are currently vying for the US Presidency, just look at them and their life's body of work, then look at your President and his body of work. I am in Oklahoma, but if I could I'd cast a mail-in ballot for Putin in your election.
    88
  237. Well, that was the shortest "offensive" in military history.
    87
  238. Russia defeated two of the largest armies in history in Napoleon and Hitler. The idea little Ukraine could beat a fully mobilized Russia was criminally stupid
    87
  239. Same thing they said about the Nordstream 2 and now, year later we all know that was a lie. This denial is a confirmation to me.
    86
  240. If you have to ask... Russia demilitarized NATO.
    86
  241. Zelensky is a perfect example of a "puppet government leader". TIME magazine made him "Person of The Year" two years ago, pumping him as the next Abraham Lincoln, and now he reminds me more of Hideki Tojo than anyone else...
    86
  242. Iran are no fools. Don't play the enemy's game; play your own. "The greatest victory is that which requires no battle.” -- Sun Tzu
    85
  243. It's an alternative , not trying to fight us. Our media always Stokes negativity and war like it's some strange entertainment for them. The world deserves an option to the US; we may once have been good stewards to other nations, but we have not been for many decades now.
    85
  244. You'll never in your life see it in a Western source, but since May, 2023, Russia has tactically been very, very operationally efficient. They bypass strongooints and flank them, probe for weak points, use terrain features expertly, and quickly exploit break throughs. Of course they take losses, their attacks sometimes repelled, make mistakes....but overall when you look at the number of battles and the scope of a 600 mile front, they have taught a master class in Modern Warfare on land.
    85
  245. The Bear will take Odessa for the family
    84
  246. Everyone outside US media saying that for a year. "Beating" Russia is impossible. Maybe you can make the cost too high, but clearly they are willing to take the casualties and sanctions have only made Russia richer. End the war, negotiate the best you can get.
    84
  247. T-90M my favorite tank in the world. 😊
    84
  248. We voted against this two weeks ago. Let the record show that, if there are any records left after this is over..
    84
  249. God is on the Russian side; it is they who fight for Christianity.
    83
  250. Just guarantees a Trump victory next year. God Help us All.
    83
  251. We in US could never have this. A million of our citizens in one place means about 250,000 of them would have a gun on them
    83
  252. 30 years since i finished B school and I can't recall a single CEO publicly acting out like a high school kid like Musk. Something is wrong with this man.
    82
  253. As long as they fly them out on Air France, the euros spent are circulated within the French economy so the cost is more of an investment in their own country.
    82
  254. TOS-1A Solntsepyok translates literally as "Scorching Sunlight", however its common English translation is "Flamethrower". 🙂
    82
  255. Kinzhal isn't even the "big boy" of Russia's hypersonic arsenal. In 2018 they announced the "Avangard" was operational. Who knows if they actually have them or how many. However that thing is a hypersonic glide vehicle that falls from SPACE and hits the ground at Mach 27. You are talking about a non-nuclear weapon that is unstoppable and will annihilate everything and everyone in a 1-mile circle around its point of impact. Russians used Kinzhal in early stages of war last year, nothing new about it. Today they are just warning NATO "don't F*** with me"
    81
  256. NATO will have to be made to show respect. There is no other way
    80
  257. This is how Rome fell....too many wars in too many places in too short a period of time when they had severe political strife internally, and could not respond effectively to control incursions on their borders.
    80
  258. This is not just a "retaliation" for the destroyed landing ship; the more we are learning about the scale of this means it is something else as a raid as big as last night's could not possibly have been put together in two days.
    79
  259. Its going to be a Kinzhal Winter. Hypersonic washing machines falling like rain.
    79
  260. For two years all we hear from NATO is "Russians are drunks with shovels that will run from the Leopard 2!" Now, its "send the $60B or Russia will rule the whole world!!" 😂
    79
  261. Word is Russia used Iskander-K (latest most accurate version) and there is now video online of exact moment missile entered the roof of that building. The Hall where the military tech show was being held. Iskander is a big missile and pretty much anyone inside that building you can tell would become a casualty. There is also reports of much activity at Polish airbases this evening as you can imagine many NATO and AFU personnel are being airlifted to hospitals in Germany (most likely). Ukraine apparently did not publicize the event location until 4 hours before as a means of limiting risk to attendees and Chernihiv being very far from Front Lines maybe they thought this was enough. Not enough for Russia. Iskander-K has wings and can make automatic adjustment in flght, and carries higher yield warhead. You'll never hear it on BBC/CNN/SKY but todays strike was a massive blow to Ukraine and NATO----if Ukraine were ever able to do what was done today it would be headline news around the world.
    79
  262. Lol , 2030. Russia has so many hypersonic missiles I can't even count them. By 2030 they'll have a Star Destroyer 😂
    78
  263. Kursk 1943. I've said it even before the offensive, and nothing ive seen since "Bradley Square" has changed my mind. Zelensky just said yesterday the Army has asked him for another mobilization. They need more men as Russia is chewing them up , exactly as they did to the Germans 80 years ago.
    77
  264. They HAVE to support each other. Every country not in NATO is always one American election away from a new President wanting "regime change". I could not imagine living in a world where that threat is always hanging over your neck----I'd be feverishly looking for an insurance policy against that before I focused on anything else.
    77
  265. That screen grab of the RPG hit should go into the archive for this war, next to the Su-27 dumping fuel on the American drone. Small hole outside, but absolute horror show for anyone inside. From a $500 weapon designed 60 years ago. Go Russia! 😂
    77
  266. I lost all respect for Milley when he sat up there for 18 months telling us "Russia is losing this war..." while our own eyeballs could see they certainly were not.
    77
  267. Just following Biden's example. I want to be Vladimir Putin when I grow up.
    77
  268. If Russia saw the buildup of forces days before, why did they do nothing about it? Not even move up more units to shore up an area that you call "lightly defended"? Russia has any number of Iskanders to use and endless supplies of Tornado-S which could easily reach Sumy from the safety of Kursk. No bombardment of this grouping? Mines conveniently missing from this area? I don't know.... My first thought was RU didn't appreciate the threat because NATO did not allow the obviously NATO gear to enter Russia (why worry about a Challenger 2 near the border that it cannot cross for political reasons?). However, RU has State-level intel and I'm 99% sure they would have known about this policy decision as soon as NATO leadership made it. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say RU wanted Ukraine to strike through here for one reason: to force the army to expose itself so their superior firepower can destroy it. RU is long known to be willing to give up territory to achieve a military objective. Maskirovka is a game that can be played by more than one person at a time..."
    77
  269. Zelensky insane.... Everything out his mouth is a lie or fantasy. Only lost 30K soldiers, right?"
    76
  270. Poles in 1612. Swedes in 1708. French in 1812. Germans in 1941. Now, the AmeriBrits in 2024 (whose proxy army contains Poles, Swedes, French, and Germans). Are ya'll noticing a pattern here?? Is there a reason Europeans keep trying to invade Russia???"
    76
  271. It was easy for Russia to defeat the West in Niger, Mali, Burkina Faso. All the Russians had to do was say "please" and "thank you"....
    76
  272. Mussolini was not brought down by left wing type people; he was brought down by former Italian Army members who were very angry that most of their friends were killed in Russia while fighting with their German allies. They were send with no tanks, and WW1-era weapons and stood no chance vs the Red Army. When they came home in shame and defeat they wanted Mussolini to pay...
    76
  273. Zelensky doesn't count those six AFU since there is nothing left to count.
    76
  274. 90% of the women in these poor countries view American or European men as wealthy easy marks. IF you move there, learn their language, meet their family, marry them, etc. you MAY get the decent wife that no longer exist in America. However if you just fly in with a pocket full of money for "dates"?? They'll treat you just like you treat them----meat.
    75
  275. You really have to wonder how long he can last.
    75
  276. Last week Russia did naval exercises with 100 ships , 60 aircraft, and 15,000 troops. They played war games with more operational aircraft than Ukraine has, and with ships that have never fired a shot in this war. Let that sink in...
    75
  277. Bought one for my 17 yr old daughter last year. Was stunned how comfortable it was when I did a 300 mile road trip. You can fit four adults with ease and the trunk can hold a good amount. It really is a packaging feat.
    75
  278. Japan delivered some jeeps to Ukraine yesterday, and said they'd send some Patriot batteries too. That makes 52 countries fighting Russia, and Russia is somehow winning. Amazing.
    74
  279. CNN: "Ukraine's convicted felon conscripts are not as bad as Russia's convicted felon conscripts..."
    74
  280. Zelensky has gone insane. He is now like the "Mad King" from Game of Thrones. Knowing his defeat is near, he just wants to "burn them all"
    74
  281. Even if the Chechens are just as brave and well equipped as the Wagners, there is NO WAY they can be as effective initially. There is no substitute for combat experience and Wagners are probably the most experienced urban fighters on Earth at the moment.
    74
  282. Finally someone in the US speaking reality; talking about what is, not what they wish it to be...
    74
  283. I just went back 12 days in my watch history to read BBC ABC SKY CNN, etc. My comments were FAR more accurate than their "experts".....😂😂😂
    74
  284. Saw a clip on ITV from an interview with some Russian soldiers at the front; the first one was in his 50s, said his wife was Ukrainian and her family no longer speaks to her because of him. Then three Spetznaz walked in and one looked at the Brit like he wanted to eat him alive; the host had to move the interviewer to another room and explain what was going on to the special forces guys. Once they calmed down he asked them a few questions and they answered; their message was clear. "We could have solved this while playing an accordion a balalaika and vodka. But they don't want to....study our history carefully; we don't start wars, we end them."
    73
  285. No such thing as an "easy" war....
    73
  286. Still no mythical North Koreans?
    73
  287. "Russian plot" or coup attempt by Ukraine opposition?? Just a matter of perspective 😂😂😂
    73
  288. Mom's family took the law into their own hands... Very sad, but I'm sure it was beyond painful to see their daughter gone and the guy that unalived her going on like nothing happened.
    73
  289. Challenger and Abrams have been expressly forbidden from use until Spring. They are too fat and heavy to be used during Winter and would be laughably easy targets.
    73
  290. How can one even argue otherwise? This kid wasn't Jason Bourne. He was the biggest amateur ever; yet he got close enough to almost be in pistol range of Trump. She gotta go....if Boeing CEO resigns over 737 MAX, so too should she...."
    73
  291. It makes perfect sense. Russia would never allow that unless it were defeated. So to get NATO, you have to defeat Russia, something Napoleon, Bismarck, and Hitler could not do
    72
  292. Russians, when Putin is gone, you all will realize how good you had it for 20 or 30 years. Look at the two men who are currently vying for the US Presidency, just look at them and their life's body of work, then look at your President and his body of work. I am in Oklahoma, but if I could I'd cast a mail-in ballot for Putin in your election.
    72
  293. Germany's "friends" putting her in her place yet again....
    72
  294. Ukraine forgot they were the Red Army at Kursk in 1943....
    71
  295. You can sense the end is near. Theres a lot of chatter about negotiations, the meeting with Aftica and Putin showing the world a document that could have ended this months ago has embarrassed NATO.
    70
  296. 47th Azov got out of there first; Zelensky always protects his "Kingsguard"....
    70
  297. "Four abandoned villages, 5km", when the first (of six) defense lines is still 10km away. Ukraine about to be taught the same exact lesson the Wehrmacht learned precisely 80 years ago: having a better tank means little when the enemy outnumbers you, has had time to prepare, and knows you're coming. When they reach the real defenses, all those flat plains of shimmering grain give very little cover, and behind every copse will be a 100mm sniper. While artillery falls like rain, drones will dive out of the sky like angry hornets; driving those that flee right into an anti-tank mine. At night, Kamov Ka-52s hover unmolested, taking their time on thermal sights to blast anything that moves. TOS-1A thermobaric shells will suck the air out of Ukrainian lungs, before the detonation obliterates them, ending their suffering. If somehow, incredibly after all that a Ukrainian vehicle emerges unscathed, the T-90M, now being built at a rate of 100 per month, will blow it to bits. Not with 100,000 men could Ukraine do this...
    69
  298. How can Russian people NOT be "pro-Russian?? Outsiders really don't understand that region
    69
  299. Looks like something they built in a garage
    69
  300. Abrams never in it's 40 year life faced a worthy opponent, feasting on poor farmers and tribesmen. Now, it meets a peer foe and it fails miserably within weeks of its combat debut
    68
  301. Western Vampires must leave
    68
  302. "...by some estimates, Russia is losing between 25,000 to 30,000 troops per month..." I love how these Western experts seem to be so good at estimating Russian losses but they never give us an estimate of Ukrainian losses. Same people that told us in 2022 "Russia is running out of missiles" 🤣
    68
  303. The shortest offensive in military history. Ukraine has been reduced to a running joke. Seek terms while you still have honor.
    68
  304. I love how this guy skillfully refutes the "all people in Russia who criticize Putin are thrown out a window" smear thrown in by this BBC reporter. His response: "I've been a politician 30 years and for the past 20 I've criticized Putin, yet here I am".
    68
  305. Meanwhile, yesterday an Antonov landed in Niger with dozens of Russia military trainers and a brand new S-300 air defense complex. No more exploitation of the country by the French and the US. 😂 Ukraine has not enough of everything, while Russia has so much they can throttle AFU and expand their political influence on the other side of the world at the same time.
    68
  306. Ukraine says it was a Kh-59 cruise washing machine. To hit a target 5m wide from 400 km away in broad daylight, evading all measures to destroy it, is one very impressive washing machine.
    68
  307. People act like 60% of the money going to the American MIC is something to be proud of. The MIC already gets $900B a year from our annual budget, so every tranche of Ukraine "aid" is really another tranche of "windfall" to Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman. Also, $27B to pay the salary of Zelensky and all the politicians, army, police and firefighters of Ukraine??? That is what we do for Puerto Rico.
    68
  308. I just went back 12 days in my watch history to read BBC ABC SKY CNN, etc. My comments were FAR more accurate than their "experts".....🤣🤣🤣
    68
  309. As an old naval history nerd, seeing a land-based 203mm gun is amazing; literally a heavy cruiser cannon mounted on a vehicle. I've read that the blast from the Malka is so powerful, there is an alarm that sounds before it fires so that crew can get to safe distance from it. Now, imagine the Japanese 460mm naval gun from the Yamato-class; its blast pressure was so powerful even if you were standing 50 ft away it would blow all the clothes off your body..."
    68
  310. Interesting; I did not realize their 2006 incursion fell so short of their goals as I have never really paid very close attention to the tactics used in these constant battles in the region. However, just looking at the math the past two weeks and the lessons learned in Ukraine at Bakhmut, I could tell that a ground attack will be absolutely horrific for everyone involved. IDF, has 100,000 ready to go, with another 300,000K called up. Hamas has 25K (so I've read) with all the advantages of being the defenders. That is only a 4-to-1 ratio in favor of Israel and that probably guarantees an IDF victory, but they will lose over half their army to obtain that victory. Then I read how powerful Hezbollah is now and whoa....the math does not favor IDF at all, especially in the short term.
    67
  311. FAB-3000 has a nice fat kill box where AFU has no fortifications….”
    67
  312. Ukraine asked NATO to train their new conscripted army in Ukraine not Europe. If they send the conscripts to Poland or Germany half will run away 😂😂
    67
  313. Is a CNN reporter actually free to investigate impartially? Or just the usual acting as a boombox for the Ukraine MoD??
    67
  314. I've always felt the reviews of the low to mid spec versions of any vehicle are the best ones to watch. The inherent goodness (or lack thereof) is apparent when you have the base engine, the base seats, the base suspension, etc. If all of that is good and you come away feeling like "wow, awesome ride!" then that means a lot more to me. Porsche is like that---base Macan is a joy to drive. BMW, maybe Alfa....not Audi though; for Audi you CANNOT ever bother with the FWD stuff with the base 2.0 engine. If this RR Sport is this good at the base level, then JLR has hit one out of the park.
    67
  315. The easiest propaganda to sell is that which isn't propaganda----its the truth. All Putin has to do is let the footage play and smile..."
    67
  316. How can NATO "distance" from itself?? You mean US/UK/Germany distance themselves from Hungary-----I'm sure Portugal could not care less that Orban is trying to end the war via diplomacy.
    66
  317. I am really enjoying watching the steamroller do its thing; who doesn't enjoy it when their words from 26 months ago are proven right? I am sad and angry though; I have no malice to Ukraine, but those in the Biden Admin that set this course for them make me shiver in rage. Why? Because I know from 40 years of being an American, that they will not suffer ANY consequence, while Ukraine's people will suffer EVERY consequence.
    66
  318. So, basically IDF is just putting on a dog and pony show for Blinken, and they'll go right back to business as usual once his plane leaves.
    66
  319. Anyone think that those that made this disaster happen in the West will ever suffer any sanction or otherwise be held accountable?
    66
  320. DW always shows us an apartment building...after two years, do people still think Russia aims at apartment buildings?
    66
  321. Whoa. That's a big escalation. Word is here in US that another big $1B round of aid to Ukraine is coming, no idea what it will be but that is a lot of money.
    66
  322. Two thoughts: One, I now understand the reports last week of foreign fighters leaving Ukraine. They knew this was coming and they knew they would be very, very unlikely to survive it if they'd stayed. Two, the fact Shoigu is in NK at this moment is not a coincidence.
    65
  323. Everywhere Anthony Blinken appears, human beings are dying by the thousands. When has Blinken, in the past two years, ever tried to STOP war? His only work seems to be to escalate war. If the Christians are right, and we are in the End Times, Blinken seems to me to be the most likely Prince of Darkness.
    65
  324. I cannot imagine the TERROR as you feel yourself going over!! My God, every time I visit high-rises or places like Royal Gorge or Grand Canyon, etc. I get the shivers just looking down. The horror these ladies must have felt----the one that survived will probably never be able to cross a bridge on foot again. I can't think of a fitting punishment for this guy other than to take him to a bridge with a 160 foot drop and push him over.
    64
  325. Street gunfire in London?? UK getting more like US every day...
    64
  326. Basically this was Putin's Victory Lap.
    64
  327. Before COVID I was commuting a lot and I bought a Prius only for that purpose. Two things keep in mind about Hybrids: 1. insurance is higher 2. the mpg gains mostly go away with highway driving. After two years I did the math and yes, it was saving me money over say a 20 mpg car, but vs a 30 mpg car it was almost a wash. I traded it for a Camry that gets 35 mpg hwy and is two planets apart in comfort and performance.
    64
  328. He had to disable it over Crimea last year because Russia made no secret they were preparing to destroy the satellites. Had he allowed the service network to be used for a military purpose, KNOWINGLY, he could not later object when Russia considered the service and its infrastructure no different from a Leopard 2 tank and wiped them all out.
    63
  329. As a long time IT guy, seeing the Russians use a 10km fiber optic cable for direct, un-jammable control of their FPV drone really lights me up. Only possible problem is you can follow the cable directly to the source; but if YOU are the one advancing probably not a big risk. 10km of single-mode fiber is about $1500 in the US, but from China I'd bet its only half that much. $700 bucks to make your FPV drone have double the range and immune from jamming is why Russia always wins on its home turf.
    63
  330. He shot two of his fellow airmen. US would make Spain give him up, he'd go on trial, and get life in Leavenworth.
    63
  331. The fact it can just be fitted with common warheads based on mission need is an incredible cost benefit advantage
    63
  332. Russian people ate all the dogs, cats, rats, and horses in the city at Stalingrad, and still didn't give up. "Making the people suffer" is a terrible strategy to try to beat Russia
    62
  333. Still no mythical North Koreans??
    62
  334. From Azov brigade....how fitting
    62
  335. The AFU prisoners were given the option to be flown home or take the bus. They all said "...to hell with the POW plane, we'll take the bus!!" 😂😂😂
    62
  336. Wars always get more intense right before they end. This one no different.
    62
  337. Oksana doesn't understand what the word "neutrality" means. Someone explain it to her in Ukrainian...
    62
  338. Russia used Poland to fly their missile in such a way that it could approach it's target from a direction in which it's defenses were not facing. Smart. Very smart
    61
  339. Man, that reminds me of the grainy B&W film of night battles in the Pacific in 1943 when the USN and IJN were going at it. I feel like these cheap sea drones will change naval warfare just like the submarine did 120 years ago. That Russian ship was corvette-sized, the smallest class you can call "surface combatant", which means its no slouch. You could tell it was maneuvering hard, but it could never out maneuver a drone the size of a jet ski. Once it was disabled, it was easy meat for more drones. The more things change, the more they stay the same.
    61
  340. Venezuelans and Cubans are like "we've known this isht for 60 years you fools! What took you so long!!!"
    61
  341. What? All France's former colonials are now living in the Imperial Capital and you don't like it? I bet you loved it when all their wealth was in the Capital, just not them, right?
    61
  342. The Kh-22/32 missile is named "Storm" in Russian. I always knew it by its NATO name "Kitchen". The Kh-22 is older but they probably have a lot of them in storage. The Kh-32 is newer, same exact body but new engine, longer range, better radar. No matter which, they fly at Mach 4 and Ukraine can't stop them.
    61
  343. Zelensky asked NATO to train these new conscripts in Ukraine, because if they send them to Poland or Germany for training, half will run away or ask for asylum.
    61
  344. Tbh, GM is building probably the most desirable lineup of straight up awesome EVs. The only problem is nobody can afford them.
    61
  345. This guy!!! "No involvement.."???? WE provided the IDF with the missiles for free!!!
    61
  346. 654 sq km? This is about a week or two out of date already; two days ago the number was 880 sq km so with the expansion of the line east of Vovchansk yesterday, I'm certain RU gain is over 1000 sq km as of today. All of AFU's trained troops are engaged; they have no ready reserves. Reports say they have 100K or so conscripts ready to be trained but they can't train them in large numbers in Ukraine because RU rules the sky. I hate to say we told you so two years ago, but we told you so two years ago...
    60
  347. This is the Ukrainian Offensive------the Offensive ON Ukraine.
    60
  348. Today is a wonderful day; my spirits are soaring. Who doesn't enjoy being right? 🤣
    60
  349. Imagine the positive follow-on effects on humanity of this one act of kindness. Imagine how many students who would have dropped out due to finances, now won't. How many students, who otherwise would never go, now can. Imagine the research they will do in the coming decades, the discoveries they'll make, the people they will heal and inspire. Our filthy-rich could easily make higher education "free" for most in this country without using a single tax dollar. We should start asking them why they don't at every board meeting; just start putting on the pressure. Titans of industry are very competitive; if one does it the others will follow so as not to look like they've been beaten. Use their egos to get what WE want for a change.

  350. I can't imagine what it is like to be an 11 yr old Gazan right now. You suddenly find yourself in a seated position, you ears ringing, the stench of cordite in your nose. The air so thick with dust and pulverized concrete, you can literally taste it. Your mind clears, and you recall you were just standing in a line for some food from an aid truck. You look down, and there between your dirt-caked legs, is the package of food you were holding when the JDAM you couldn't even hear hit. It says "Courtesy of The United States of America"

  351. Painting that ugly hood reminds me of a house I flipped a few years ago. The first thing I did was cut the grass (with weeds that reached my waist) and then have the house painted a neutral color (it was some putrid yellow). That alone made such a difference the neighbors came over to thank me before I'd even touched anything inside.....
    60
  352. 120 missiles and 90 drones and no civilian deaths? With that many weapons, Israel would send tens of thousands to Valhalla...
    59
  353. After two years I've often wondered how there never seems to be any public opposition to Zelensky in this "democratic" country.
    59
  354. Didn't even realize AFU still has some Abrams left
    59
  355. Why they call Zelensky "President" when he is not?
    59
  356. Secret Service is "underfunded" but Joe throws away $150B to Zelensky to help foreigners...."
    59
  357. Like China said....pure theater. Enjoy the show.
    59
  358. I heard about the Abrams delay late yesterday evening but wasn't sure if it was true. Of course the Asian news site I heard it from had a different analysis; they said it was because "NATO armor" had proven to be no better than Russian in the specifics of the Ukrainian war". Basically, the unique characteristics of this war, negates almost all of the "superiority" NATO believes their tanks have over their Russian counterparts. Seeing the Challenger 2 a blasted burning wreck made Biden hesitate because there is a good chance the Abrams' worldwide image will be harmed. 😂
    58
  359. I was confused at first; in Western military language these are called "flares" or "decoys". Never seen a missile that deploys its own decoys...
    58
  360. The appearance of the Ukranian Territorial Defense units and say, the marines in Krynky could not be more different. They look like they are from two different nation's armies; the territorial guys look like their equipment and weapons are from 1980s Soviet-era, while the ones in Krynky look like NATO-standard soldiers. Always remember that it was UK that (Proudly) trained the AFU marines in Krynky; they cannot withdraw without having some means of hiding their failure as it will reflect poorly on Britain's SAS. BBC ran many stories about it; making the British military elite look bad is something Zelensky cannot afford to do; they have to come up with a cover story.
    58
  361. Reported today in US Zelensky wants missiles capable of hitting Iran and Syria. He isn't bizzare, he is insane....
    58
  362. That WAS NOT "in US airspace"!! It was in international airspace , but in the ADIZ---the US air defense identification zone, which is still international airspace , but where the US wants to ID anything it spots
    58
  363. Look at all those brand new 155mm American shells that were supposed to go to Ukraine. LOL...
    58
  364. Such an attractive apartment building, gonna need several trips to Home Depot to tidy that up....
    57
  365. Right hook to the side of the face by a 6'2" 250lb man is going to be justified shooting 100% of the time. While this IS a tragedy as I'm sure the guy didn't wake up that day thinking "I'm going to punch out some cops today", the reality is that is exactly what he did. A group of men from his family should have dealt with his drunken combativeness long before police were called.
    57
  366. This is the Russian Steamroller I've been waiting to see now for over a year. Just as in 1943: let the enemy attack come, bend but don't break. Absorb the blows while constantly wearing them down with artillery and small counter-attacks,the whole time the factories in Siberia run day and night building a mountain of weapons and ammo. When the enemy attack finally slows, start the steamroller. The steamroller moves slowly---it is nothing like "blitzkrieg"---but it never, ever stops. The enemy never gets a chance to rest, even if it only moves 100 meters a day, that is 100 meters the enemy will never set foot on again. It isn't pretty or glamorous or dramatic, but it is 100% effective at winning a war.
    57
  367. Russia pounding Avdiivka with over 200 guns while Ukraine doesn't even possess 200 M177s or M109s in its entire inventory, let alone a single sector. The Steamroller moves slowly, but it ALWAYS moves forward...
    57
  368. Lol. Only if they have shields from Star Wars. The FAB bombers launch from 60km in their own territory. F-16 would have to eat a dozen S-300, Buk, or Pantsir missiles just to get in range of a Su-34.😂
    57
  369. We are watching the sights and sounds of history shifting and changing. When even the weakest openly challenge the King; he is no longer a King.
    57
  370. They just added a little jet engine to them as well to push their range out another 40km, because their range without the engine is about 60km. That was fine for years but when AFU moved the Patriot very close to the line, this brought some Su-34s to the edge of the Patriot engagement envelope, shooting several down. Now, with over 100km range glide bombs, Su-34 immune again (and AFU paid the price by bringing Patriot closer where they were destroyed).
    57
  371. 90,000 soldiers, not one of whom has seen any actual combat, nor have their NCO's, nor have their officers below the rank of Colonel seen any combat... If Storm-Z decides to continue on past Ukraine, they will ride these newbies down like grass...
    57
  372. Time to turn Victory into Money.
    57
  373. Wars always reach the peak of their lethality right before they end....
    57
  374. Was it worth it to be able to have NATO in their country? In Istanbul they had far more than they have now, and all they had to do to get it was be neutral.
    56
  375. Lol. Attacking civilians never works; just makes the average guy who didn't care much before, now really angry. SBU were fools to try such a thing
    56
  376. Took out 50% of Ukraine's power grid in one night. The Bear Unleashed.
    56
  377. The truth: Last week in Western news you saw articles about "the 3rd Assault brigade is being sent to save Avdiivka". The PLAN was for the Azov troops to shore up the flanks to allow the garrison to retreat orderly, then take up their positions to cover their retreat. When they got there the situation was already beyond hopeless; they could not even find cover to establish themselves under the rain of guided bombs. They had to pull back back to Seiverne to establish a stable line and this is when the ROUT began. Troops inside realized they could not be reached and began fleeing or surrendering on their own (some of these troops had been former POWs, and could not surrender as their release condition was that they not fight again. If caught they'd be shot.). The Fall of Avdiivka goes into the history books along with the US exit from Afghanistan under the section: "TOTAL FUBAR"
    56
  378. ...and when Polish missiles miss or their fragments land in Ukraine cities?? Blame the Russians!!! 😂
    56
  379. Scott Ritter been saying this since August, 2022 and yet you never see him interviewed on CNN, ABC, Washington Post, etc. I wonder why?
    56
  380. Nothing says "I have an AI girlfriend" like the Cybertruck!
    56
  381. Wouldn't you? Who else would it be? Haiti?
    55
  382. Ground pounder pilots are probably the most skilled in any Air Force. Flying that low that fast is extremely dangerous because there is no chance for recovery if you make a mistake, and almost no time to eject should you be hit. Those pilots have enormous balls swinging between their legs...
    55
  383. "Zelensky, in spite of what you think, you are not worth burning half the earth."
    55
  384. Japan delivered some jeeps to Ukraine yesterday, and said they'd send some Patriot batteries too. That makes 52 countries fighting Russia, and Russia is somehow winning. Amazing.
    55
  385. You never negotiate with the underling; only directly with the boss.
    55
  386. In his old age he has learned the hard way that Anglo-Saxons will never, not in a thousand years, respect Slavs as their equals.
    55
  387. I learned about 20 years ago after the Iraq 2003 joke-of-a-war that the best "sure thing" investments in the US are in Energy (oil/gas) or Defense. We loan Poland the money to buy our own equipment, so our banks make money on the loan interest and Boeing makes fat profit on the sale. No matter what happens, US always wins.
    55
  388. Russia dropped 50% of Ukraine's electrical power grid in one night. That is the Bear Unleashed.
    55
  389. So the city that was supposed to be "Bakhmut 2.0", the strongest Ukrainian fortress, has been penetrated in just 10 days?? Storm-Z going into the history books with Hoplites, Immortals, Centurions, US Marines, etc...
    55
  390. Russia will do exactly what Col. MacGregor said months ago: they will crush this offensive, then go on their own and this time there will be nothing to stop them until they reach the Polish border.
    55
  391. About 5 yrs ago I got brave enough to try to do a brake pad job myself on my Jag XKR. I watched a video on how to do it and all your tips were in that vid: use an S-clamp to hold the caliper, clean all debris, use a thin layer of grease on back of pad, break-in, etc. After my success with that, I had the confidence to do the brakes on my Enclave, Camry, Giulia....etc. Good to know I was well trained. 🙂
    54
  392. WAY too young to be involved in this kind of stuff; even 30 year old adults can't handle these kinds of relationship minefields. If this child were raised in a loving, two-parent household, the correct way, no way in heck this happens to her. Stop doing things the wrong way; start doing things the correct way and teach your kids to follow your example.
    54
  393. Not a single Western Media source has mentioned Donetsk for a week. Wonder why??"
    54
  394. Dayum....16 220mm rockets all landing around you at once from 22 miles away. That is like a full broadside by a WW2 heavy cruiser. Devastating.
    54
  395. A Jewish person in Saudi Arabia asking for money??? We are living in an alternate universe...
    54
  396. We told you NAFO-bots the steamroller was coming; we told you last September after the NATO-trained army was crushed. You didn't listen...
    54
  397. Why should he stop? Look what happened in 2022 when he stopped. Take it all, Russia. Take it for the family...."
    54
  398. During the past two months, Russian use of FAB guided bombs has skyrocketed. Those are much cheaper to use for strikes they were using cruise missiles for previously.
    53
  399. In 2015 Obama refused to arm Ukraine because he said "Russia has the capacity for escalatory dominance . No matter what we give, they can leapfrog that capability resulting in Ukraine never having an advantage and just being destroyed in the process." Obama was the highest IQ President probably since Nixon, and here we are two years in and every day proves Obama was right....
    53
  400. I have a 2017 Ti and now with 75K miles I love it so much; I drive it and its balance and agility is so magnificent. I just recently got an A4 for my wife to drive as I like to always have her in the new car with warranty/road assistance etc. but she won't take it. The A4 sits in the garage while she takes the Giulia because she too loves how it feels to drive.
    53
  401. F the Western leaders, and I'm born and raised American..."
    53
  402. Western media isn't telling the whole story (they never do): Zelensky wasn't the target. He went to visit the men who destroyed the ship last week to give them awards and a Russian drone tracked him the whole way. There is video of his motorcade in Odessa yesterday afternoon. Once he left, the Russian put an Iskander into the port facility. Yes, Russia used Zelensky to locate those responsible for the ship attack. Many helicopters were seen moving between Romania and Odessa after the hit; very likely many UK troops were hit in the strike. It is well known the UK runs the sea drone program for Ukraine. Putin always pays his debts.
    53
  403. NO. His ego is too big. We saw nothing last night that we all haven't already seen for years. Him falling down stairs, falling out of airplane doors, freezing on stage, saying nonsense, walking with Zelensky last year where he looked like an extra from "The Walking Dead". If he were going to do the honorable thing; he'd have already done it...
    53
  404. The conscripts they are grabbing off the street get three weeks of "training before being sent to Chasiv Yar or Kharkiv front. They are like flies after a spray of RAID....
    53
  405. Zelensky just cannot get it through his skull that those holding his leash have their own concerns. He expects them to give him a supercarrier when they dont even have one of their own (or only two that break down all the time). He wants their $100M planes but he has no pilots to fly them. He is going to get whatever they don't want and that's it.
    53
  406. One question I've had for a couple of weeks was why no Abrams if Avdiivka is so important? Well that was answered yesterday when you (and others) brought up the Rasputitsa season. There is no way in hell the Abrams can be used anywhere near the front, probably not until June. A monster like that being stuck in such mud, with the limited resources AFU has, means that is where it will stay for the next three months. A tank that can only stick to paved roads is almost useless. We won't see an Abrams in combat until June at least.
    53
  407. You should have seen the Wagner PMC ad from a few months ago. "Contract with the Company. Contract with the Motherland...We know we are going to Hell, but in Hell we will be the best." Heck, with a line like that I'd have probably signed up 25 years ago...
    53
  408. ....when Avdiivka is mere hours away from falling. Coincidence??? Only to people who watch CNN....😅😅😅
    53
  409. ....and here I thought Stormy was the winner of the "TMI" contest...
    52
  410. Yeah, Putin crushed it with this. No doubt about that. He moves and speaks like a man who knows he has won.
    52
  411. Is the target the problem, or just the attack was too successful?? I don't see how attacking a military training facility is any different than a barracks...
    52
  412. US has asked Russia to "freeze" the conflict (whatever that means). Russia says "NO!" 🤣🤣🤣
    52
  413. The true shame is that the US and UK are more responsible for the plight of those people than RU is....
    52
  414. Other than the casualties Russia has taken (which range from 200,000-CIA to 50,000,000-Ukraine MoD), I struggle to see an objective "negative" over the past two years for Russia. She has more territory overall than she did on the day the war started, a vastly larger and more experienced army, her weapons production is stratospheric, she has captured an example of almost every Western weapon arrayed against her---giving her a decade worth of intel on her likely opponents in the future, her economy, while hurt in some areas by sanctions, has hardly slowed enough to matter, and she has new military allies she did not have before in Iran and North Korea. Her influence in the non-Western world has skyrocketed, giving her a plethora of options when it comes to global geopolitics (such as Belarus now being "NATO-proof" by having nuclear weapons on its territory). Outside the loss of human life, the SMO has been the best thing to happen to Russia since 1989.
    52
  415. Mercedes has decided (for now) to create a separate dedicated EV platform to sell alongside their gas cars. BMW has decided to keep the 7/5/4/3 design the same but give us the option of gas or electric (or hybrid). Based on looks, I like BMW's strategy because the Benz EQ series went way too far toward aero in their design and all look like bars of soap. Though I hate that beaver face, I'd buy this over any jellybean Benz EV 100 times out of 100. I also personally prefer my car to not be all "look at me! I am the future! I have 30 screenz!"; just give me the ** car I've been driving 20+ years already but with an electric motor thank you very much. This does not go up against a Model 3----Hyundai/Kia EVs go against Tesla. A BMW is all nine planets apart from a Tesla in quality, construction and luxury. This goes against Polestar 2 on low end, and....not much else. Benz has no EQC yet and Audi has not electrified the A4 yet. BMW kind of stands alone here atm.
    52
  416. "Likens D-Day to the war in Ukraine" That is just flat out offensively stupid. On D-Day the US/UK didn't have to fight four million German, Italian, and Hungarian soldiers in France because Russia had already destroyed them in Russia. If Bidumb knew anything about history he'd be thanking Russia...
    52
  417. KH-101; you can see it automatically dropping flares to ward off heat-seeking point defense AA missiles.
    52
  418. There are over 50 Pantsir systems in Crimea alone; an area 1/20th the size of Ukraine. That's 600+ AA missiles.....nothing that flies getting through there
    51
  419. It's worse than that; AFU now shooting men in the border areas with Romania
    51
  420. About this Kursk thing, I have to hand it to NATO, I didn't see this one coming where they suddenly allow Western weapons to go into Russia. A year ago Scholz was horrified at the thought of German tanks driving toward Moscow because that would mean Germany was at war with Russia---again. However NATO is losing so they change the rules.... There was a reason they didn't allow it before and that reason hasn't changed...."
    51
  421. Two days after Avdiivka fell, Telegraph: "... Western military experts say Russia doesn't have the strength to continue to exploit the victory...it will only be a local victory..."
    51
  422. Germany looks really, really bad in this...
    51
  423. Pokrovsk not some little collection of farms like Robotyne, the place made famous last summer by western media. Pokrovsk is a 60,000 sized city, almost as big as Bakhmut. Yet look at how fast RU has advanced on it!"
    51
  424. The US State Department and the American media have been contradicting themselves now for two days on whether any American equipment is inside Russia, even though our own eyeballs (and video they themselves show) confirms there is. When the invasion started there was a report or two that the US was "angry" but no clear idea about what. Any information on this aspect that you have Weeb, please add to next Kursk update. Thanks!
    51
  425. Zelensky telling Germany to stop feeding Ukrainian refugees and send Kyiv the money and they'll distribute it to their citizens. 😂😂😂
    51
  426. That vid of the four AFU in the pickup was ice......you really could see the fatigue on the guys face and the fact none of them even raised their arms to cover their faces before the drone hit. All these young guys are dying for nothing. They are fighting for an artificial "cause" and not even having a hope of winning.
    50
  427. Leopard 2 nailed by a T-72. Won't see that on CNN.
    50
  428. AFU: A day after being savaged in the first "double double-envelopment" at Niu York, they initiate a "Battle of the Bulge" that doesn't last even 48 hours.... AFU's performance in this war will be taught in military academies for the next 200 years as an example of what NOT to do .... "
    50
  429. Missile Command was my favorite game when I was a kid in 1983.
    50
  430. CNN comments are like "but the crew survived completely without injury, that's our Western tech better than Russian tanks!" I'm serious...
    50
  431. Sure! Just say "No NATO, no US/UK cannot use our land for their bases, ships and missiles" War is over and you didn't even have to call Russia.
    50
  432. Ukraine has not yet been beaten enough; RU's advance is unstoppable, but slow and Zelensky sees all the billions of euros pledged and feels he can just keep the "slow roll" for years if necessary..."
    50
  433. Possible coup brewing. Zelensky is now publicy telling Zaluzhny to "shut up"; the house of cards is collapsing.
    50
  434. Did you say that 26 months ago when Biden refused to talk to Putin???
    50
  435. Poland is the match in the powder magazine. From the start, Poland has sent mercs to fight for Ukraine. In a way its understandable as Poland would be first to fall if Russia unleashed the Beast.
    50
  436. What "pain" does she know?? My (black) father came to this country in 1959 and by 1964 he finished his MBA degree (at a time probably less than 5000 people in the US had such a degree as it was then very new) and went to look for a job. All the big names of the era, Prudential, IBM, etc. wouldn't hire him, for one simple reason: he was black. So, Nikki tell me about this "pain" you know so much about...
    49
  437. You fighting a proxy war against a superpower with 10,000 nuclear warheads, on behalf of its most bitter rival, and you just now realizing you are in "Hell"??? What is wrong with these people???"
    49
  438. I know dems hate this guy, but he is SOOO REFRESHING after four years of Austin the piece of human cardboard!
    49
  439. I believe Russia sees the Fall season in a few weeks and is in "bend dont break mode" pretty much everywhere. The only place they seem serious about not letting the line shift is Robotyne. They have bombs they can rain on AFU static positioning all winter, almost half a million new troops coming by next year this time, and their grain effort is choking Ukraine at the strategic level.
    49
  440. If it is true NATO has given Ukraine until the summit to "prove to us you can make significant gains vs. Russia with the weapons you have", then it both explains the massive casualties of the AFU and the Russian willingness to sit on the defensive.
    49
  441. Wasn't a missile; FAB guided bombs
    49
  442. The Russians have had 90% of the town for a month, this is mostly symbolic. However, everything Ukraine does is now symbolic so it fits...
    49
  443. Guy is only 35, and has all his hair. I could see if he were 55, fat, balding, gray he'd have to pay $2K for a "top tier" (I assume she was to charge than much) strange. However a young, fit guy like this? Must be something really wrong with him that women who actually know him stay far away; looks like they were smart to have done so.
    49
  444. Imagine a world in which the United States just left these people alone. No bases. No CIA safe houses. No constantly trying to block each and everything they do. Just leave them be. What would that world be like?
    49
  445. Even. The pilot would make most of the difference....
    48
  446. Bunch of ships in the Black Sea today; can only mean one thing----its Kinzhal and Kalibr Monday. You know Putin wasn't happy about having to put out a fire at the oil terminal, and Putin always pays his debts.
    48
  447. I swear this is like the Roman Empire in the 21st century. I laugh when people say "it is modern times, people don't say/do/think that anymore..." BS. There is no difference between a human born in 2023 BCE and one born an hour ago. None.
    48
  448. Mining buildings is straight out of USSR playbook. At Stalingrad, Kursk, etc. the Red Army would retreat from towns and lay mines and bombs everywhere. Some timed for 30 days later. Wehrmacht troops would be eating breakfast three weeks after taking the town thinking they are safe and the whole building blows up. Von Paulus, Von Bock, and Von Runstedt used to complain bitterly about the tactic.
    48
  449. I'm American and I want Russia to win.
    48
  450. Airspace violation? File a complaint
    48
  451. So a drone spotted another drone? Whoa there...
    47
  452. Ahh, so Wagner TRAINED these units, which then joined the Russian Army as new "Storm-Z" formations. Now, I understand. Together with VDV they will be a formidable assault unit.
    47
  453. This is the automotive equivalent of the Union Pacific Big Boy locomotive. The Last of its Kind, and an absolute monster of engineering.
    47
  454. Russians did not have 9 months to prepare six lines of defense and 300K called up reservists last year in Kherson. This is a completely different situation.
    47
  455. Smart. Napolensky made the gamble to send his shiny new NATO army to Kursk instead of to defend the Donbas. Take it all Russia. Take it for the family..."
    47
  456. A former US general was interviewed and at least I now have understanding of Macron's crazy words. Some NATO members (not all, but about 4 or 5) want to "officially" send their soldiers into Ukraine, but ONLY to do logistics, medical, and air defense. Macron is trying to get a group to do this; they believe they can tell the Russians they will not perform any offensive duties, just rear-area work and shooting down drones/missiles. Macron thinks this can free up many AFU who can then be sent to the front and this former General agrees. Neither Macron or the General offer an explanation as to why in the hell Russia would agree to such an arrangment------what could possibly be the benefit to Russia to accept that??
    47
  457. UK will do NOTHING without US and Trump will tell Starmer "your ass is on your own!" 😂
    47
  458. The fact CNN/BBC avoided that story at all costs last week proved to me 100% that he was Kinzhal'ed just like Russia said. He's gone (and so is everyone else who was in there with him).
    47
  459. Man, I bet those TOS-1A thermobaric shells are devastating; they are more effective the more the enemy masses and the lethality is higher if you are inside a vehicle.
    47
  460. Why they even care what he says? He not even President anymore; more like a Regent or Viceroy at best.
    46
  461. RU flag shown today over Vovchansk hospital; by tomorrow the whole place will be liberated.
    46
  462. Its like that movie "Aliens". The super advanced weaponry of the Colonial Marines was useless inside the tight confines, and the creatures closed the distance on them in safety. In a melee fight, teeth and claws were more than than a match for small arms fire.
    46
  463. Refreshing to see and hear from a man who truly loves his craft (I wish you could do this for ALL major brands!!). I bought a 2002 Land Cruiser in 2013 with 145K miles, and even for a person that is very familiar with Toyota quality, it overwhelmed me with its excellence. Just picked up a 2006 ES330 for my teen to drive to school and with 127K miles it idles so quietly I sometimes forget it is running. That's why I never go out and buy a new Toyota or Lexus----I know that I can buy them years, even decades, from now for a song and they'll provide 99% of what they did new.
    46
  464. Sent to the combat line in handcuffs??? That's what French training gets you!!! 🙂
    46
  465. May have been a diversion; RU just took Robotyne in Zaporizhzhia. Thats the only town AFU captured last summer; gone now.

  466. Not sure what a new commander could do differently for the time being. I felt a month ago Russia won't wait for all the Western tanks to show up, they would move up their offensive timeline. Looks like they did as they've been raining shells now for three weeks and they seem to have some momentum. If I knew my enemy was going to get some really strong weapons in a few months, I'd just tell my army "Go now! I don't care you aren't quite ready...GO!"

  467. I bought a 2021 for my 16 yr old daughter, and tbh I was blown away by the quality of the Versa. I haven't had a small Japanese "beater" type car since the mid-1990s in college and I didn't expect much more than the same I felt when driving a 1995 Corolla or 2000 Lancer. The 20 year difference in comfort, refinement, and features kind of shocked me. The car was slow of course, but it got 44 mpg hwy and was butter smooth, quiet, handled well, heated seats, sound system better than that in $40K cars, ADAS tech, emergency braking, parking sensors, etc. I mean, unless you need to show off, what more does one need from a day-to-day vehicle? The Sentra is a little bigger, a bit better looking for just another $2K. I honestly would dump all my cars except my sports car and buy a Sentra for me and the wife and save $50K from buying all these "entry luxury" cars I've driven for 20 years. These small cars are that good.

  468. Staged
    45
  469. Its been an hour; has the US State Dept announced that Ukraine was not involved?
    45
  470. Prigozhin, the master of Psychological Warfare. If he says "Red", you better be thinking "Blue". 🙂
    45
  471. Agree. Especially for the shooter----he isn't even emotionally involved at all! He is just someone the side-chick knew; imagine how depraved you have to be to do what he did. "Hey, how are ya? Great. Hey, I'd like you to kill this woman I don't like because this guy I was mounting on the side went back to her---I want her gone. Can you do that for me?" That guy needs to be sent straight to Hell; life in prison for the side chick. Or send her to Hell too----I'm fine either way...
    45
  472. Sky News brought out their "expert" Clark (the one who's been wrong about 80% of the time), and even in his own words could not imagine a real objective for this Kursk invasion. It can't be the NPP, that is in Kursk---you know where the Kursk Army Group is; why would you drive directly at the army you are trying to avoid for as long as possible?? Flanking south to relieve Kharkiv? Great idea, but look at the map-----there is no room for a 25K-strong army to maneuver without the Kursk Army Group being able to engage it. Even if AFU could get some credible force past in 4 days, their flanks would be obliterated by the Kursk army. Other than "let's use our new army from the $61B in US aid to cause as much damage as possible before we have to retreat" (which would at least make tactical sense), this is stupidity born of desperation...."
    45
  473. This was a message to Macron and Starmer: "Come in here, and this is what you'll get."
    45
  474. The part that really makes my blood boil is that much of these aid packages are us paying the salaries and pensions of Ukraine's public sector employees. Their police/fire/utilities and their army and politicians, etc. Seriously?? They can't afford the weapons I know, but they can't even pay their own people their daily living expenses? We have to pay that too?? Ukraine is like a woman who can't leave her abusive husband because he pays all her bills and living expenses....
    45
  475. If NK and RU signing a defense treaty is "illegal", then NATO itself is also "illegal"
    45
  476. Scott Ritter said back in September that Ukraine would run out of ammunition by Spring. No lie, that guy has been calling it 100% correct for months and no one in US media will give him any credit because the party in power doesn't want to hear bad news.
    45
  477. I actually heard this on Scott Ritter's podcast a few weeks ago. Russia has enough set aside for 30 months of conflict.
    45
  478. I'll never forget "the verdict". I was on lunch break from my job in a downtown highrise, the food court was packed and all the big screen TVs had the channel to the LA courtroom (yes kids, at that time no one carried a TV in their pocket). When the verdict was announced there was stunned silence....probably 500 or more people all in suits or a dress....utterly quiet. I quickly pivoted and headed straight for the elevator to get out of there because at that time I was 24 and fresh out of B-school; and I am black so at that moment there were probably 480 very angry white people in that food court and maybe 20 black people at the most. I was worried somebody may see me and take out their anger on me and I didn't want to ruin my very expensive new suit. You'll never understand it if you didn't live through it.
    44
  479. I give up after two comments get deleted....almost at a point you can't comment on any Ukraine article.
    44
  480. "May" lose? LOL. The lights are out in half the country right at this moment. This summer a steel tsunami is coming....
    44
  481. I live near Fort Worth and go to the Alliance Air Show every few years. I've seen the F-35 zooming around near Lockheed Martin's facility and it does look so cool. However, it has never been tested in any real combat other than dropping bombs on farmers and tribesmen. Based on what I've seen the past two years in Ukraine, I'd go with the Rafale. That war has shown definitively that the "expensive wunderwaffe" falls on its face in a long war vs. a peer foe. The less advanced, less expensive machine that can be produced at scale, and more easily supported is the champion the longer the war goes on.
    44
  482. I saw a BMP with a big Russian flag driving into Avdiivka and was stunned. The vehicle shows more battle damage than 10 Challenger 2s, yet there it is rumbling into a newly liberated city in victory. It has probably been hit at least a dozen times, and each time the Russians tow it back about 10 km to some open air workshop. In the freezing temps, a bunch of Engineering Platoon guys, who have been fixing engines since they were 11, go to work. Three days later, the engine is fixed, the transmission replaced, the tracks repaired, and a soldier drives it back to its unit. A month later it rolls into Avdiivka victorious. THAT is why NATO will never in a thousand years, beat Russia on its own territory.
    44
  483. Zelensky: "I demand you come fight WW3 for me!" Now!!" 😂
    44
  484. ...and bowing in servitude to NATO? Never. Would you bow in servitude to me??"
    44
  485. The afternoon reports from the military bloggers are coming in. Last night may have been the first use of Shahed-238; the jet-powered version of the infamous Shahed-136. 3x faster and more accurate. This was no "retaliation" for the ship attack.....this is the beginning of the "knockout blow" air campaign, imho.
    43
  486. All the "Iranian" and "North Korean" (wink, wink) weapons went up in smoke, right?
    43
  487. Yemen said they would do it; and they did it. A tiny country directly challenging not only Israel, but Israel's patron, the most powerful military on earth in the United States. We are learning that the world is full of lions, not lambs, and even the small lions have fangs....
    43
  488. So, all the stories we've heard for 18 months about missing weapons, graft, and pocket-lining are mostly true and not "Russian bots"?
    43
  489. Russia already plan for this if necessary. They will simply take $300B worth of EU assets (especially in energy and mining sectors) in compensation; that is why the EU bankers are reluctant.
    43
  490. Generals are supposed to say "we will win". Mark Milley said all through 2022 and 2023 that "Russia is losing, operationally and militarily..." Even after the Ukraine offensive failed he kept saying that..."
    43
  491. "Let me in your club so I can immediately invoke Article 5 and you all will have to come save me from the Bear!" This comedian sure is funny!! He mentions June because at the end of May he is no longer President.
    43
  492. Fortress Zaporizhzhia holds while factories in the Urals run day and night. Even if the numbers we are hearing about Russian production are only half right, that is a tsunami of weapons on the way NATO simply cannot give away to Ukraine without impoverishing themselves and/or making themselves defenseless. Just like in late 1943, when the Russian steamroller starts, only the Russians themselves can stop it.
    43
  493. I hear you!!! "If they don't want to settle, we're outta there!" 100% agree. 🙂
    43
  494. These North Koreans are almost "mythical" at this point. I may be wrong but I have always found it difficult to believe a modern army would go to war without any of the vehicles and equipment they train with for years. Militia, proxies, warlord gangs, sure....but the national State armed forces??
    43
  495. For commuting, school, just everyday life, no human needs more car than this. It is the best kept secret in the auto industry, imho.
    43
  496. Where's all the celebrating nato bots from two weeks ago? "Moscow by Monday"..... remember??? 😂"
    43
  497. Just like US denied involvement in Nordstream
    43
  498. What chance did AFU ever even have? Avdiivka was a goner the day RU decided to conquer it----they have more of everything----only a matter of time.
    43
  499. Russia just canceled every debt it held with any nation in Africa; $20B. They must be doing OK....
    43
  500. Yes, but they are learning the hard way that drones have severe limitations. They can't carry large explosive power, they have short range, and bad weather severely affects their use. Two days ago in Avdiivka the Storm-Z troopers walked right in because the weather was bad and AFU has only two 155mm shells per square kilometer per day to fire. The drones were useless.
    43
  501. There were less than 1500 civilians there a month ago. The town has long been a hive of AFU and their NATO mercenary allies, which is why Russia decided to take it first when they started the Steamroller Phase six weeks ago.
    43
  502. These two look like their family tree should have been turned away at Ellis Island...
    43
  503. The Rebels just destroyed the Death Star and now planets all across the Galaxy are rising up as they now realize the Empire is not as strong as everyone thought.
    43
  504. Because CNN reported yesterday that RU itself is now producing 3 million shells per year, while the US and EU TOGETHER are now producing only 1.2 million shells a year. Without NK, Russia is already almost three times NATO production.....that's why they are afraid...
    42
  505. Every day I hear "war is politics by other means" or "war is negotiation by violence" I leaned decades ago bouncing in my head. The NATO summit is in 30 days. If Ukraine has done nothing of note by that time, their support will weaken. Without NATO free weapons, they will have to negotiate a cease-fire as they will quickly run out of everything and be sitting ducks for an angry Russian army. This means they are on a political timeline, not solely a military one. For example I did not believe we'd see the Leopard 2 until they hit a defense line; every Leopard 2 is like a giant armored purple poker chip. Pushing a few of them forward is a HUGE risk politically and I don't think they'd have done that so early if they didn't have the political timeline staring them in the face. They are hoarding the Challengers even more closely because they only have 14 of them and the UK is among their most staunch and aggressive supporters. Losing 6 of them in an attack far from a defense line would be politically disastrous for them. If I were Zelensky, I'd have told Biden and Sunak to go f themselves, brought in Xi and this peace plan, and preserved what's left of my country.
    42
  506. I've bought enough guns to recognize those boxes the cops were carrying out of the house were probably pistols, as well as the obvious long gun box. Whoever she married had a LOT of guns.
    42
  507. Saw a vid of a railcar full of brand new T-80BVMs near Donetsk today. The T-80 fascinates me because when I was a kid I read Tom Clancy novels and the T-80 was Russia's "Abrams" of the time. Of course I had no idea what it looked like (neither did Clancy) back then, but the way he described it in the books I imagined it as "cool" looking as the Abrams. A few years later during the Chechen war, I saw TV footage of it and honestly was shocked as it looked like any old T-64 or T-72, nothing like the sleek and modern Abrams. So, today when I see the T-80BVM, I see the tank I imagined as a child in 1988. A sleek and deadly monster now with anti-drone jammers, faster reverse gear, and all the upgraded goodies two years of tough fighting provides. I felt like a kid again seeing it... Feel sorry for any AFU in its way.
    42
  508. Weeb Union today showed how many AFU brigades are in Sumy sector and I was surprised; its about thirty thousand . That 10K , 12K number from a month ago was either wrong then, or Napolensky sent far more into Kursk than I thought. It actually makes sense too, because a couple days ago the Chechen commander in Kursk said a lot about the battle and mentioned that AFU had sent 200 tanks into Kursk battle. That kind of shocked me as that many tanks meant way more than 12K troops committed. Now I learn its more like 30K committed and it lines up. That is a HUGE force to throw away being ground down in Kursk for basically nothing. Unbelievable....."
    42
  509. As soon as I saw the video I knew he was American. Only White American men age 25 - 50 dress like that.
    42
  510. Oh boy, someone is going to be Oreshnik-ed tomorrow....
    42
  511. Macron had a dream last night that he was Charles De Gaulle. Then the rest of NATO woke him up....
    42
  512. What Wagner and Prigozhin did in Bakhmut is the stuff of legend. We can't fully appreciate it yet, but decades from now people will watch the "musicians" dance over a hellish landscape of death and destruction and shake their heads in disbelief. People will think it was faked.
    42
  513. Every time I begin to feel a little sorry for Ukraine, I see a video of an armored vehicle with a balkenkreuz ( german cross) painted on it, firing at the Russians, and all my budding sympathy evaporates. Why? After two years why would Azov brigade continue to do things like this which only makes them appear to be exactly what Putin calls them??
    42
  514. The symbolism of this cannot be overstated----militarily this ship is nothing, but symbolically...Iran has sent a guided missile frigate, a true "surface combatant", directly into the operational zone of the US Navy, to protect its ally the Houthis. I'm 48 and could never imagine a day Iran would (or could) do something such as this. We are watching the sights and sounds of history shifting and changing...
    42
  515. Wagner Storm-Z moving almost 1km per day and the "pincer" is about 6km across now. I'd say about a week from now BBC will have no one to talk to inside the city.
    41
  516. Still not up on CNN/ABC/NBC yet!! I think their editors' hands are shaking at clicking the "submit" button!!! 🤣🤣🤣
    41
  517. Unbelievable. Somebody really, really does not want this guy in the W.H. again...
    41
  518. Of course. Israel is our 51st State. I can't imagine what it is like to be an 11 yr old Gazan right now. You suddenly find yourself in a seated position, you ears ringing, the stench of cordite in your nose. The air so thick with dust and pulverized concrete, you can literally taste it. Your mind clears, and you recall you were just standing in a line for some food from an aid truck. You look down, and there between your dirt-caked legs, is the package of food you were holding when the JDAM you couldn't even hear hit. It reads: "Courtesy of The United States of America"; puzzled, you reach to pick it back up with the hand you were using to grasp it, and you realize you no longer have a hand...
    41
  519. Those of us who get our news from OTHER than Western Media have known this for months; a LOT you don't know.
    41
  520. That's about as believable as Macron saying "I am not French!"
    41
  521. Why does the MSM NEVER, EVER talk about Blinken and Nuland's family history with Ukraine?
    41
  522. "...and these Ukrainian soldiers have already been deleted from a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet by some officer back at HQ...." Damn. Cold.
    41
  523. Last night Bakhmut looked like Tokyo in 1945 after Americans firebombed it. Putin may use a Kinzhal or even a tactical nuke (if there is a high-value Ukrainian target) to make sure the last resistance at Bakhmut is crushed by the 10th.
    41
  524. This is sad. That guy would still be alive today if Zelensky had just signed the Istanbul agreement that was overall good enough for him to consider. It was only the lure of endless mountains of Western weapons and the assurance the sanctions would turn the Bear into a Cub by Boris that convinced him to go the other way.
    41
  525. The Telegraph had an article up yesterday with the title "Russia takes 17,000 casualties to capture Avdeevka" while on Fox News the "expert" said it was 60,000. 😂 Western Propaganda mills are not yet in sync
    41
  526. I don't blame them. In war, the only way to save lives (on both sides) is to win fast. Crush them quickly and without mercy and fewer on either side will die. "Forever wars" where neither side is strong enough to win outright (Iran-Iraq War) just grinds up lives forever.
    41
  527. No more SMO, its war now
    40
  528. Yep, that’s why I will vote Trump. My sons will not be sent by Harris to die for Ukrainian nationalism….
    40
  529. "...but only in defense of Kharkiv..." LOL. What surreal madness is this? A proxy war whose restrictions change battle by battle?? This is Vietnam all over again but this time NATO is "America". So when Russia wins this battle, the restriction goes back to what it was yesterday??
    40
  530. I know that two Ukrainian brigades were dissolved (AFU announced this) just yesterday. The 25th Airmobile (who surrendered en masse over the weekend), and one I didn't know about until today that abandoned their positions in Chaov Yar. That is at least several hundred soldiers gone from the battle so whether the "900 killed" is true or not, the result is disaster for AFU.
    40
  531. Goodness, give him a clean shave and he almost looks like he did 20 years ago. Nice to hear how he was able to come full circle with his father, this is a key reason Usher is who he is. All men naturally wish to earn the love and approval of their father; for a man to intentionally leave his son bereft of these critical psychological components with which to navigate life is a crime against humanity.
    40
  532. Stoltenberg must do stand up comedy...
    40
  533. Europe should be thanking Russia on this day, not trying to enslave them.
    40
  534. Three Kinzhals just took out a Patriot battery near Zhytomyr today, the entire battery----launcher, radar, personnel everything. That's only 80 miles from Kyiv. Meaning the drone strike last night was merely to locate Kyiv area AA, which they obviously did. Wha'ts that now? Kinzhal 10, Patriot 0? No wonder US rushed to fly Zelensky back three days ago, and Zelensky as of today has still not returned to Ukraine.
    40
  535. Ukraine fans keep talking (and thinking) in terms of ground gained or lost, or who won the latest attack/counter-attack cycle when those concerns are not really relevant to what Russia's tactical objective is here. The whole point of defenses are to make the price of getting through them too high; so the enemy goes somewhere else, or commits a massive force (taking that massive force away from offensive operations elsewhere). That's it. So, the only way to understand who is "winning" the Battle of Robotyne is to know if the price Ukraine is paying for going forward is detrimental to their war plan, or expected and acceptable. Barring a complete rout by either side, like an encirclement of Ukraine or Russia scatters and runs to Azov, we have no idea. 10,000 troops and 200 vehicles may be the "price" AFU decided getting through this phase is worth. Maybe not; none of us knows as we are not present at Zelensky's war council meetings. Even if both sides are inflicting casualties on each other at the same rate, Russia wins no matter how far Ukraine gets. Ukraine's best NATO army is used up, while Russia easily replaces 40,000 casualties and their vehicles.
    40
  536. So the media has recently switched over from "Spring Offensive" they've used for the past six months, to "Counteroffensive"?? Makes sense; they've covered themselves in case it starts in Summer, Fall, Winter, 2024, 2124...
    40
  537. I truly wonder if all this is really the people of Ukraine, or just Zelensky and his nationalists
    39
  538. Number of Ukrainian bots is the same. This is Sky News right? Equal voice for all?
    39
  539. RU always one step ahead of NATO. Always. The closer you get to the combat front, the more all the bridges are now gone. Saw a vid yesterday of a dozen AFU Hummvees on the highway to Kupiansk because sending anything heavier by rail is suicide. RU wins again.
    39
  540. He looks younger than Zelensky. What a Boss.... Love him or hate him, Putin is a Jedi Master at statecraft and geopolitics."
    39
  541. Ukraine announced yesterday they are building largest military cemetery in possibly the world. At least as large as Arlington National Cemetery in the United States, and the war isn't even over yet. Ukraine is 10% of US population with same size military cemetery. Let that sink in...
    39
  542. Many in the West clearly see the opportunism and duplicity of our "leaders". Take it all, Russia. Take it for the family...."
    39
  543. If Wagner men can stand in front of a very recognizable monument and talk trash, that means there are no Ukrainian troops within a 700 meter circle around them. US Military sniper train to 900 meters and low end is about 400 meters, so figure a really good Ukrainian sniper should be accurate out to 700 meters. Prigozhin's point about no one having seen the "real push" yet is true: where are the 300,000 reservists? The T-90M tanks? The Su-35s, Tu-22Ms, etc? We've barely seen Russia's best.
    39
  544. I saw a report last month that RU producing more Krasnopol 152mm shells than ever before.
    39
  545. Ask Boris Johnson to ride a bike to power the lights; without him the war would've ended over a year ago 😂
    39
  546. The Tahoe truck-based design means if you tow or haul heavy loads frequently, the Tahoe is the better choice imho. However, if you rarely tow, and maybe just fill this with 6 or 7 people and cargo a few times a year. This is a great option. Just get the "tow package" on it with the transmission oil cooler. I had a 2012 Traverse that did not and by 8 years old the trans was dying because I have a big family and we go up into the mountains frequently.
    39
  547. The old ghosts never die...
    39
  548. I read that the T-80BV is the tank spearheading near Konstantinovka. As a kid I used to read all the Tom Clancy spy novels and at that time the T-80 was the newest and most feared Russian tank. Before the Wall fell, the amount of information that came out of the USSR was so small, no one who wasn't alive then could understand it with all the information we have from Russia today. The T-80 was almost mythical to my 10 year old mind because I had to use mostly my imagination as there were no clear photos of it published in any Western magazine." Seeing it being used today is like hearing about an old friend..."
    39
  549. Back when I was in high school in 1989 there was a girl in the neighborhood named Suzanne. She was the most popular girl in a 20 block radius, not because she was beautiful, but because she put out. For almost anyone. For years I'd run into guys who knew her, and that always meant they "knew" her. I ran through it when I was 16 and even then her rep preceded her. A decade later a college buddy told me he met a woman at a bar the previous weekend and she took him home within an hour. He said she was on him like he was the last man on earth. I asked him what her name was and he said "Suzanne" 😂😂
    39
  550. Lviv is where 80% of NATO equipment enters Ukraine, it also has much infrastructure and industry as it has been relatively safe from significant bombardment due to distance from the Front. That immunity is now gone, and if Lviv is no longer safe, NATO has nowhere to act as logistics hub inside Ukraine
    39
  551. Things have definitely sped up the last two months; RU is taking in a week what 18 months ago took them a month. Pokrovsk isn't some little collection of farms with a population of 500 like Robotyne; its a 60,000 sized city, twice as big as Avdiivka. Yet RU is advancing on it so fast they'll be in rifle range of it in two weeks...."
    39
  552. Good as this is, $62K is crazy. I can get '22 530i with M Sport pkg and real leather for about $58K.
    39
  553. No amount of training can prepare soldiers for the real thing; if this is true it benefits both NK and Russia. SK says they are "1500 special forces", of course you have to be willing to believe SK. Imagine getting 1500 Green Berets; they already know how to shoot, drive vehicles, use a wide array of arms, but they have zero experience (especially their officers). Russia gets additional, already-trained manpower, while North Korea gains real combat experience for its elite forces. Something they can get nowhere else, and the experience for their junior officers and NCOs which are the backbone of any army, will be invaluable to NK.
    38
  554. Well, we learned from Putin last night that Germany has many options to get cheap LNG from Russia, but either they (or Ukraine) has opted not to do so. Instead, they pay much higher rates to get it from Europe or US which has smashed their economic competitiveness. As long as the German people accept this as the "price" for supporting Ukraine, things will probably not get too bad. I would not count on that lasting very much longer however...
    38
  555. Even if this is all a stalemate the past three weeks and both sides destroy/kill each other at exactly the same rate, that still mean Ukraine is losing.
    38
  556. Robotyne was just rolled up after what, four days of Russian focus there after taking Avdiivka? That is, all the land AFU gained in Zaporizhzhia last summer gone in less than a week. All this is academic now....Russia has a massive advantage in every statistical category and logistics wins wars. Unless some divine intervention occurs, from now on we are in the formality phase. Just as in 1944, once the steamroller starts, there is no stopping it.
    38
  557. They gave Putin a standing ovation. Biden can't even get that in his own country.
    38
  558. Well done, I must say. Today, you have a lot more "strategic" than "tactical" and it is painting a pretty grim picture for Ukraine. That picture is no surprise to me, as I've said for 18 months no one can beat Russia in a land war on its own turf, "on the cheap". It CAN be done, but it would take MILLIONS of soldiers, YEARS of time, and TRILLIONS of dollars. I believe NATO has known this all along, and was never really trying to "beat" Russia, just weaken them enough that maybe Zelensky could get better terms than what he had a year ago. That has failed.
    38
  559. If 1 bullet is a justified shoot, 100 bullets are. The law makes no distinction on the number of bullets that constitutes "deadly force". Once such force is justfied, it could be a 406 mm shell from the battleship Missouri in your hide.
    38
  560.  @Silent_Steel  LOL. Russia keeping Crimea is the definition of "winning".
    38
  561. Putin never said a weapon would be an "Act of War" ; until today.
    38
  562. Vuhledar has been an impossible task for about two years now. 2024 is absolutely a turning point year, its not just the battles its years old strongholds finally falling for good..."
    38
  563. The AFU border "defenses" melted away like butter on toast.
    38
  564. All wounded animals become more dangerous as they approach the end. Ukraine is no different

  565. Its been an hour; has the US State Dept announced that Ukraine was not involved?
    38
  566. Six foot hole in the plane and everyone all calm and chill and nibbling on their pretzels....😂
    38
  567. "...I'm not sure what technology the Russians have, maybe UFO technology..." Spewed my Coke again....😂
    38
  568. Yeah, YouTube isn't going to allow many comments on this one.... It is too spectacular, too demonstrative of Russia's power..."
    38
  569. I'll never forget "the verdict". I was on lunch break from my job in a downtown highrise, the food court was packed and all the big screen TVs had the channel to the LA courtroom (yes kids, at that time no one carried a TV in their pocket). When the verdict was announced there was stunned silence....probably 500 or more people all in suits or a dress....utterly quiet. I quickly pivoted and headed straight for the elevator to get out of there because at that time I was 24 and fresh out of B-school; and I am black so at that moment there were probably 480 very angry white people in that food court and maybe 20 black people at the most. I was worried somebody may see me and take out their anger on me and I didn't want to ruin my very expensive new suit. You'll never understand it if you didn't live through it.
    38
  570. Russia collapsing an entire sector defense with like 6,000 soldiers 😂😂
    38
  571. I am really enjoying watching the steamroller do its thing; who doesn't enjoy it when their words from 26 months ago are proven right? I am sad and angry though; I have no malice to Ukraine, but those in the Biden Admin that set this course for them make me shiver in rage. Why? Because I know from 40 years of being an American, that they will not suffer ANY consequence, while Ukraine's people will suffer EVERY consequence.
    37
  572. GM just changed what it means to be an EV. For years all we've heard is drag reduction (making the body and wheels ugly), weight reduction (making the interior look like an empty closet), and coding nerds needed to squeeze every electron for max efficiency. GM said forget all that isht: just make the thing have a battery big enough to power a battleship and you don't need to worry about drag or weight or efficiency. Make it how we WANT it, not how it "has to be". GDF'ing right. That is 'Murica!
    37
  573. All the NATO weapons Ukraine hides inside warehouses, stores, hospitals, schools?
    37
  574. I am 48 and this is exactly the car I would have bought from age 18 - 26 or so. 240SX, Celica, Eclipse, Integra, MX-6, etc. has been brought back to life. I have C7, Jag XK, and Alfa Giulia but I may just buy one of these for its mechanical purity and go find a road (and a 22 year old college babe) to remember what 1993 was like. :-)
    37
  575. Russia has moved forward since their offensive started on Nov. 7th and their washing machines fall like rain the past week.
    37
  576. Cause of "crash": "sudden mechanical disassembly due to kinzhal..."
    37
  577. Somebody really, REALLY wants Iran to go "all in" on Israel, so they can go "all in" as a response.
    37
  578. GM just changed what it means to be an EV. For years all we've heard is drag reduction (making the body and wheels ugly), weight reduction (making the interior look like an empty closet), and coding nerds needed to squeeze every electron for max efficiency. GM said forget all that isht: just make the thing have a battery big enough to power a battleship and you don't need to worry about drag or weight or efficiency. Make it how we want it, not how it "has to be". GDF'ing right. That is 'Murica!
    37
  579. I had to go confirm it via other sources; it is a 3000kg (6600 lb) guided bomb. A bomb that big that can be launched from 60km away, lands within 20 meters of aim point, and is impossible to shoot down....wow...sayonara AFU.
    37
  580. Trump realized only way to get Ukraine to table is to stop funding them; only way to get Russia to table is to accept their terms. 😂
    37
  581. In 1943, the Germans had two million soldiers poised to take Kursk, along with them were the 800,000-strong Italian 8th Army, and 225,000 Hungarian 1st Army. In total, THREE MILLION men intent on taking Kursk. When the smoke cleared, the Italians and Hungarians were decimated so severely, only 10 percent of the men they sent to Russia returned to their homeland. The Germans were mauled badly, but the bulk of their force survived to retreat that didn't stop until the Battle of Berlin. People never listen to historians until its too late. They say "it will be different this time", and it never is..."
    37
  582. Even American military leaders quietly give credit to Shoigu; he is a man of few words, but his deeds behind the scenes are a major reason Russia can fight 32 other countries and win. Hardly anyone knows his name; but long after the war the historians will point to Shoigu as the key.
    37
  583. By the looks of it, RU will have Ukraine out of LPR completely by Christmas..."
    37
  584. The fact it took almost two years to get it hides the fact Ukraine was given enough equipment, guns, and ammo to make them the largest standing army in Europe. Yet still they could win no battles with it. That is the hard truth; they need a Napoleon and all they have is Zaluzhny.
    37
  585. A former US Army Colonel was interviewed today and he said "what looks like a tactical stalemate is deceiving, the balance of power is far in Russia's favor and every day that balance gets more in their favor. When Ukraine finally cracks under the pressure, it will be fast and it will be complete." Hard truth.
    37
  586. What about the other 55 countries invaded over the decades and US didn't do squat? Why makes Ukraine special?
    37
  587. My goodness, the F-16 hasn't done anything yet but hit the ground at Mach 2 and media already pushing for the next "game-changer"???
    37
  588. Our Military brass is now the Desert Storm Generation. They are probably thinking "here we go again"....
    37
  589. I'm not Jewish, but I can never be anti-Jewish. It was Jewish businessmen who helped my father when no one else would. In 1960, the US was a harsh place for a black man with an MBA, and it was only a Jewish owned company that hired my father. That gave my brothers and I a comfortable life, allowing us to go to college, and today all of my children are in college. I will always be a friend of the Jews. However, I vehemently disagree with Israeli leadership on how they are handling this. I believe rage has blinded them, and they seek only vengeance. Those who seek revenge must first dig two graves and IDF is busy digging both one for Hamas, and one for Israel, imho.
    37
  590. LOL, after two weeks of these things ripping Ukraine a new arse-hole CRUX finally notices?? Russian choppers are on the defense now; over friendly territory with little to fear. The Ka-52 and Mi-28 now operate in teams so their different anti-missile systems can cover each other. Now they can hover in peace while plinking Leopards and Bradleys like shooting rabbits at night...
    37
  591. Wait until we awaken a 46,000 year old human from the permafrost. He's going to be really, really pissed.
    36
  592. That American flag just makes the Russians fight harder 😂
    36
  593. Ukraine is holding up fairly well so far to the Russian Steamroller, but you can see the cracks if you look closely. The Kharkiv mail depot blown up yesterday became a target because Ukraine's rail network has been destroyed by the aerial blitz of the past two months. They have to use trucks to move arms and ammo now, making the mail hub a target. Russia has shot down 15 AFU planes in three days. Once Russia starts a large push in one or two more sectors, Ukraine's defense will crack suddenly like an eggshell that reached its limit.
    36
  594. If NATO knew it could not see this through, yet ignored Putin's negotiation overture in September, 2021 and chose the path of war, they were incompetent then? Or, was it something else?
    36
  595. Love how they troll the US with the name as well....
    36
  596. They weren't interested in the performance of the coaxial system for firefighting; they were interested in the characteristics because next year the US will be fighting against the Ka-52 Alligator.
    36
  597. Nobody wants to be the last man to die on the last day of the war...
    36
  598. I'm personally not in the market for this type of vehicle, but I must say I feel a great sense of relief. When I first heard about the Tonale (and that it was based on the Jeep Renegade platform), I was very distressed. I know Alfa needs product, but an Alfa that handles like a Jeep is no Alfa. I am very happy to hear that Alfa stayed true to its heritage and with that 50/50 balance the Tonale handles like an Alfa Romeo should! Me and my Giulia Ti are no longer distressed. Gratzi! 🙂
    36
  599. He looks and sounds like a man who knows he has won.
    36
  600. If Wagner men can stand in front of a very recognizable monument and talk trash, that means there are no Ukrainian troops within a 700 meter circle around them. US Military sniper train to 900 meters and low end is about 400 meters, so figure a really good Ukrainian sniper should be accurate out to 700 meters. Prigozhin reminds me of General George Patton----the toughest SOB in the war---I'm starting to like him...
    36
  601. Nobody but Zelensky reports this, nobody seen these guys at all. A ghost army in Zelensky head
    36
  602. If AFU starts a new attack now they will die. They can't use tanks as Western ones are too heavy and will be stuck within weeks, their light armor will be blown apart by FPV drones and artillery. They can "Zerg Rush" with their infantry like they've done for a month in Robotyne, but all that has done is gotten tens of thousands of them killed or wounded.
    36
  603. Does Ukraine have any officers that went to actual Military Academy? All year long they walk into trap, after trap, after trap; whenever they see two enemy pincers form, the send their entire army into it. Bakhmut, Zaporizhzhia, now Donetsk.... Zelensky is 45; he is old enough to have at least watched "History Channel" while growing up. I hear he's just about had it with Zaluzhny.
    36
  604. Kramatorsk and Pokrovsk are basically the two largest cities left in the LPR and DPR that are in AFU possession. After those are taken, RU will be in "buffer zone" operations...."
    36
  605. Ok, we now all know the Kursk Offensive was to basically "bring the slugfest onto Russian soil" and little more. So the tactical is not all that interesting since there is really no point other than to create mayhem on RU land. However, the strategic repercussions are far more interesting. Please start spending a little time talking about that..."
    36
  606. What a disaster. AFU HQ officers are the worst military leaders I've ever observed in my life in any war. Retreating when encircled to save your army (so you don't lose the city AND the army) is like 4000 year old Military Tactics 101. Even in that they failed....pathetic.
    36
  607. I don't even know how any insurance company could survive that. I mean bulldozers were knocking over $100K Porsches and Benzes like they were Hot Wheels cars. JUST THE CAR LOSSES will be in the hundreds of millions....
    36
  608. 50 to 1 and Russia is winning. Most military history is written by Western scholars so they won't give Russia much credit, but outside the West, Russia standing alone against so many has already enshrined them in eternal glory.
    35
  609. Big fan of HL, but Military Summary also kept saying for weeks "Zelensky wants to do one more offensive". Keep up the good (and hilarious) work."
    35
  610. A Tsar is born...
    35
  611. The NATO jealousy is so strong it has affected the rotation of the earth
    35
  612. This is what the Ukraine war is really about. EU and American Left liberalism vs. Traditional Christian family values.
    35
  613. I would never trust DW or CNN/BBC/France24 to tell me.... Didnt even bother watch it....."
    35
  614. When I was in middle school, 0-60 in 8.2 seconds was considered a fast car. A Corolla of that time did it in 11 sec.
    35
  615. Only one of the six key fortified cities anchoring the entire Donetsk defense line since 2014, a line centered on Pokrovsk. Not important at all CNN says...😂
    35
  616. NK will give him a nice apartment, a lifetime stipend, a pretty wife and 50 years from now CNN will interview him at age 75 and he'll say "best decision I ever made!"
    35
  617. Its almost as if BAE, Lockheed Martin, and Northrop Grumman got together in 2020 and said to each other "let's start some isht".
    35
  618. Zelensky fires 700 lb. rockets into Belgorod, Putin fires 7,000 lb. missiles into Kyiv. Seems fair...
    35
  619. Those guys in Chasiv Yar are saving their lives; Syrsky rushed there yesterday to shore up the defenses, but his Generals didn't want to meet in Chasiv Yar because of what happened to the Polish General last week when his HQ near the front got Iskander'ed
    35
  620. Gen X (age 45 - 59) probably last "normal" generation of men in the US; they met a woman, asked her out, tried to impress her, serious dating, maybe marriage if they felt she was "the one", etc. This current generation of men are completely broken when it comes to women; they grew up on endless pornos, played video games instead of going on dates, and are completely unable to naturally and safely interact with a woman under almost any circumstances. I refer to men age 45-25 as "Generation P" for Predator.... There's a little hope for the under 25s ; maybe we can save them....
    35
  621. Biden is like the kid who punches the bully just as his mom drives up to the pickup line, and starts running for the car right after he lands the blow...
    35
  622. US Army fights Navy and Marines and everyone fights Air Force for 100 years and counting....LOL
    35
  623. Ukraine wastes their few remaining missiles and ammo for this while at this very moment they are retreating from Robotyne, meaning EVERYTHING they sacrificed the $20B NATO army to gain last summer is now back in Russian hands. The intransigence of Ukraine under Zelensky reminds me of that of Imperial Japan in 1945; even after two A-bombs, the Military wanted to fight on. It was only the Emperor who stepped in and said "no, we will surrender". Unfortunately for Ukraines' people, there is no Emperor to overrule Zelensky and his Nationalists....
    35
  624. This is exactly why its sales trajectory this year has been very, very good. It is good at everything; not great at anything. That is the secret to hitting the fat part of the sales curve. Attractive, comfortable, reasonably priced, dealers everywhere, support everywhere.
    35
  625. SKY just posted an article 20 minutes ago about "Russian bombs civilians" and they just took it down because now Ukraine acknowledges NATO personnel were the target. 🙂
    35
  626. France is that kid in the group who sees the one they all don't like and says "let's get him!" and starts to run toward the lone kid. Halfway there he notices NONE of the others are with him and he stops suddenly and starts trash talking again... 😂
    35
  627. "Kyiv claims" is now on the same level as "game changer".
    35
  628. The real power in the world. The truly powerful do not have to fight....
    35
  629. CNN said the day AFU took Robotyne "Tokmak in ten days!" I think that was about 18 or 19 days ago now...
    35
  630. All Ukrainian rail hubs are watched 24/7 near the front, and bridges are bombed daily. They can't get anything bigger than a Humvee around
    35
  631. Yes, some of it is, but at least 1/3rd is paying Ukraine's public sector salaries and pensions because they have no money. THAT is money GONE. The other 2/3rds goes to weapons and training/logistics (US "advisers"). Two years ago, that meant "send our old stuff, we order new stuff from Lockheed Martin". That is less and less true now. Look around you. Do we have shells and rockets and missiles just piling up? No, we sent them all a year ago and Ukraine still failed. If we approve this money today, most of it IS going to be for brand new stuff because there is no longer any "old" stuff to send. NO to more funding.
    35
  632. There is more violence here than in Venezuela. That's not why they are coming here...
    35
  633. I said three weeks ago "watch Biden flip flop on F-16s just like he did on Abrams" and here we are. Ford-class supercarrier for Ukrainian Navy next; US Navy already training Ukrainians on how to tie a square knot...
    35
  634. Poor Syrsky, given the reins of an army already defeated. If I were a high-ranking AFU officer, I'd have balked at that Kursk plan the moment I heard about it. Open a new front while the one we have is collapsing? For what? A few weeks on CNN/BBC? That's no way for a soldier to go out; I'd want to meet my foe in the Donbas where it matters."
    34
  635. Exactly. US sent "advisers" to Ukraine reported Politico. Thats how Vietnam started too...
    34
  636. I'm only 48 so I've never lived during a time NK troops were in combat. I'm curious to see how they do. Zelensky has rushed more reinforcements to Kursk, from his best NATO-equipped units. The North Koreans will not be going up against conscripts taken out of bars three weeks ago or 67 year old men; they will be going against Ukraine's very best. Gonna be a helluva battle over the next few weeks. Nothing like Kursk 1943, but pretty big by modern standards...
    34
  637.  @fritszuidema7628  Ukraine's entry into NATO means the US can now put Aegis Ashore missiles (currently in Poland and Romania) into Ukraine hundreds of miles closer to Moscow, making Russia more vulnerable to a NATO first strike. You knew that, correct? Who again is the "unprovoked" aggressor??
    34
  638. The implications of this are huge. These missiles are about $2M each but the issue is anything---and I mean anything---above ground in the Separatist Regions is now under threat like it never was before. It probably could hit stationary ships in the Black Sea port of Sevastopol as well. This is a massive escalation; it can't win the war of course, but its presence just increased the costs for Russia by a factor of ten. Imagine the amount of assets Russia will have to either move out of range or protect with more anti-air assets. One cannot overstate the logistics burden this weapon just imposed on Russia---even if they counter it by relocating/defending assets that is a huge amount of resources that would have been used in offensive action.
    34
  639. Look at that guy! Even the Imps in Hell backed up a little when he showed up!!
    34
  640. Leave the girls alone! They are providing a valuable and needed service! Men needed regular relief; its natural and healthy
    34
  641. YouTube will only let me say "I agree with MTG!!" They are censoring like crazy on this one...
    34
  642. Wow! I didn't even know that was possible. If she hooked up with two different men, could each womb have gotten an egg fertilized by a different man?
    34
  643. Censor blocking everything today 😂
    34
  644. Zelensky just wants to force them to come back to Ukraine so his recruiters can grab them off the street and put them in a trench
    34
  645. It is the very definition of a "gamble"; if you win, its big....but if you lose, it is also big..."
    34
  646. We not going to discuss Edwards' unforced turnover on the play right before????
    34
  647. The $61B hasn't even posted to his account yet, and here he is back already demanding more.
    34
  648. That explosion looked like a tactical nuke going off----literally turned night into day.
    34
  649. Why would Ukraine complain?? He went to Zelensky first , then to Putin (showing Zelensky more respect than he deserves). I don't believe Ukraine "complained" ; I also don't believe any EU leaders other than those from US/UK/Germany complained either. I imagine Portugal could not care less that Orban is trying to broker some kind of negotiated settlement...
    34
  650. Was Biden there to zombie-walk alongside their Generals??
    34
  651. Seems like the anti-drone measures are getting better; we've seen that protective "hood" over BMPs now for a few weeks. Also what looks like a T-62 that just shrugged off a mine like it was nothing? Tbh, FPV drones and mines are all that is really slowing RU attacks; notice how few artillery rounds landed around those vehicles clearly visible in open terrain...AFU doesn't have enough artillery shells.
    34
  652. Like the Kinzhal that landed two offices away from Budanov? Or the Iskander that punched a new elevator shaft into the SBU building? Keep telling yourself the sky is green; that makes it easy for Russia to win! 😂
    34
  653. The Rebels managed to tie up the legs of an AT-AT Walker and bring it down.
    34
  654. Go Russia! Many in America support you!
    34
  655. BBC won't ask real questions. "So, how much does Ukraine earn from storing EU's excess LNG?" , "So, how much of the land RU currently occupies was leased out to Western Ag firms before the war?" , "Why is having a Western-friendly Ukraine so important to the EU??"
    34
  656. ...all eyes on Avdeevka while an army group three times bigger gathered and only just three days ago did anyone notice. Avdeevka was the jab....the uppercut is coming
    33
  657. The simple hard truth is that had Ukraine won last summer (or heck even made it difficult for Russia in any way), every EU leader would have Zelensky's bank wire instructions on their desk. They failed completely and all the pretty words and spin cannot change history. The goal is now help preserve what they have and hope they still exist 2 or 3 years from now.
    33
  658. "civilised" nations , well that rules out the United States
    33
  659. Ive long wondered why Russia never thought to use a deforestation agent like "Agent Orange" or similar to denude all the trees of their leaves ahead of its defenses. Ive never seen a war like this in which soldiers and vehicles from both sides dash for the treeline exclusively as it is the only way they can survive long enough to do anything useful.
    33
  660. Yeah she's gonna win. Last time I saw this kind of unbridled celebrity was 2008. Some guy named Barack Obama was starting to surge, which surprised me with such a foreign (and muslim) sounding name just 8 years after 9/11. I was home with my kids and his face suddenly appeared on the TV, my 2-year old daughter immediately pointed and said "bawaak obaaaama!" I was stunned. Never in US history has a toddler immediately recognized a Presidential candidate upon sight. I knew right then he was gonna win in a landslide...."
    33
  661. Those idiots tried to take it back??? AFU people must just have had horrible childhoods and lives before the war; living just isn't fun for them.
    33
  662. Those DPR assault troops that took Avdeevka appear well fed, well trained and equipped, well led, and highly motivated. No amount of CNN propaganda can hide that when you watch all the vids and hear them speak and observe their demeanor. They know they are winning...
    33
  663. Thousands of unstoppable Kinzhal, Iskander, Storm, and Oniks washing machines coming right up.
    33
  664. IF they can show via court-sanctioned gender change they are different than their birth gender, no problem. You cannot have people just changing their gender on official documents whenever they feel like it. What if I feel like I'm 18 tomorrow instead of 48 and I just change my age on my DL??
    33
  665. We in America have been told for a year that "Russia is losing" and then about a month ago all hell breaks loose with our politicians contradicting themselves with tanks and then two weeks later its F-16s?? I was like "why all this frenzy for better weapons if Russia is losing??"
    33
  666. What cracks me up is the way Bell speaks as if RU "weakness" in another sector, means they can't "go all the way to Kyiv". RU could leave 5000 men in the Donbas and true, they wouldn't be able to move forward any longer, but AFU doesn't have the men to even take back anywhere even places where RU is "weak". Comparing numbers of men only is absurdly foolish especially for an "expert" like Bell. Even if AFU has 5000 men vs. 5000 RU men, the RU will win easily as they have 100 bombers, 500 tanks, 1000 armored vehicles, 100K shells, 100 Iskanders, etc.
    33
  667. "Fascism" did not get a bad reputation until the late 1930s. In 1922 when Mussolini came to power Fascism soon had such a good reputation for getting results, even the US President Coolidge and later Hoover spoke highly of the transformation in Italy under Mussolini.
    33
  668. Don't be surprised if Russia somehow "learns" of Zaluzhny's exact location next week....and an Iskander-M is sent to join his party.
    33
  669. Russia comes out with a new missile every other month it seems. Prior to a year ago, I never heard of "LMUR", "Vympel R-37M" , and now this X-69. Nothing like war to push forward the development timeline....
    33
  670. "...unless Kyiv regime capitulates on Russia's terms...or Ukraine will cease to exist." Direct quote yesterday from the Speaker of Russia's Lower House of Parliament (Duma). I don't see a lot of nuance there...
    33
  671. So the Avdiivka Endgame is upon us. If we don't see the Challenger 2 in the next month, they don't have any left as they were destroyed in that Iskander strike back in August/September. If we don't see the Abrams in the next month, that means Austin really did tell AFU not to use them and they are hidden somewhere in the far West of Ukraine.
    33
  672. We have to begin the painful process of accountability. The Western leaders who chose this path cannot just all go home and say "oh well, we gave it our best and it didn't work out" , not when over 1 million people are now in Valhalla that didn't have to be! Biden , Blinken, Stoltenberg, Nuland, Johnson just to start. There is NO WAY they can all just walk away from this with zero accountability. All the people that went into Iraq 2003 over fictional "WMDs" never had to answer in even the slightest measure for what they did; that cannot happen again...."
    33
  673. Russia shot down 6 out of 6 Storm Shadows, and 5 out of 5 Neptunes all aimed at Crimea. Not to mention, they popped TWO Ukraine Su-27s over Odessa that same day. Bad day in the sky for AFU...
    33
  674. Yes, they POSTED it today, but it was recorded weeks ago. 🙂 Prigozhin already called out this propaganda by Ukrainian intelligence...
    33
  675. This is sanitized of course but at least France24 shows it. CNN would never show this to American viewers
    33
  676. What is going on in this country?? Its like all the INCELS have simply just got tired of waiting and they are taking women any way they can, anytime they can.... Car wreck + SA?? REALLY??"
    33
  677. "....he start packing his photos, his pencils...." Man, I will tell you, I have REALLY ENJOYED your summaries the past 9 months. You have made me spew my coffee or Coke so many times with your humor in the face of a very sad and tragic subject.
    33
  678. Wow that FAB hit on the warehouse. I read years ago that if an explosion is close enough to knock you down, you are dead; what we see in movies where the hero gets back up is pure fantasy. The overpressure that can knock over a 200 lb man is enough to collapse lungs. Imagine the overpressure to visibly lift the roof of a building that size....everyone in there is gone.
    33
  679. Poland done, Finland done, Germany done, US holding firm on not lifting restrictions. NATO finished with Ukraine; they had their chance and people finally realizing what those of us with brains have said for 2+ years. You cannot defeat Russia on their own land by force of arms alone
    32
  680. "Fight Russia for me" is the "plan"
    32
  681. The EU has all that wealth because they haven't had to buy a tank or supercarrier for 70 years.
    32
  682. ​ @ericdekker5768 you just described Kursk 1943
    32
  683. I love it!! FINALLY after three years of the United States kissing Zelensky's ass, somebody has the stones to stand up to him!
    32
  684. Yeah to get revenge for Russia's Kinzhal strike on Budanov! I was 99% sure he was dead a week ago, this news makes me 100% sure. 🙂
    32
  685. Please dont ever use the term "game changer" anymore. It is the kiss of death
    32
  686. President Obama 2015: "...I will not arm Ukraine as Russia has escalatory dominance ; any capability we'd be willing to give, they can leap-frog, just leading to destruction of Ukraine..." Always listen to the smartest guy in the room....
    32
  687.  @Netcentric-fk6ek  wow, an entire 7 minute video clearly showing they are effective and you just ignored it. That is an impressive display of refusal to be objective! You must vote GOP....."
    32
  688. I'm 48 so this is all kinds of throwback for me. To see a new Integra on the road with a manual just takes me back to 1993; I'd love to have one of these but I refuse to pay markup so I'll have to wait a few years. Everything an enthusiast could want is marked up---even with rates now at 8% and overall car sales diving. All V-Blackwings are marked up; $50K for Escalade and $10K for CT4/5. All Nissan Z's are marked up. I tried to get a TLX Type-S PMC but every dealer wanted $5K to $10K on top of the already slightly bloated PMC price. Most Dodge stuff is marked up; only the regular R/T you may get at MSRP. The new M2 has $25K on top. You can't buy anything desirable without paying this BS extra "fee". Only thing you can get at or below MSRP is a Subaru...
    32
  689. Who was the UK the proxy for? I forget??"
    32
  690. LOL. By May 9th they'll have more NATO armored vehicles in Moscow than are in Ukraine.
    32
  691. "Ukraine says".....LOL. "We are making gains" , "we liberated a city (actually a farm)!" , and my favorite "it was a Russian missile!"
    32
  692. Whenever you put the defensive lines on the map, the entire tone changes. Those red lines are not just trenches; where do you think the THOUSANDS of old T-54s are? In bunkers or earthen revetments along those red lines. The West laughed in January when video of them being moved to Ukraine showed up; they aren't laughing anymore. Those "old" 100mm cannon have tens of thousands of HE rounds, and because they won't be moving, they will be as accurate as a German 88 from WW2. A 100mm HE shell will obliterate a Bradley. I don't think we've seen the "massacre" yet...
    32
  693. Those hypersonic washing machines and shovels are at it again.
    32
  694. "Sex trafficking" because he may have paid for a 17 yr old. Guys with no money do that on Figueora St. every day and no one even lifts a finger.
    32
  695. Those guys hiding under the bridge didn't make it?? Dang.... They are just fodder-----Zelensky, Blinken, Nuland....grrrrr. THEY put those men into the grave.
    32
  696. In US criminal law, if you start a fight, you lose the ability to claim "self-defense" when your opponent starts winning and you use deadly force.
    32
  697. To a Russian soldier that snowstorm just gives him warm memories of his childhood playing in the snow. To him. warmth comes from his tank or spent artillery shell casings; Russians fight better in the Winter than in Summer.
    32
  698. Countries like Hungary and Italy are like "y'all on your own. We sent huge armies into Russia 80 years ago and less than 5% lived to ever return home. You all go try and leave us out it." 😂
    32
  699. The Giulia is a car like I've never known in my life and I'm 48. I've owned more cars than i can remember and the Giulia is the only one that I already have but still want the SAME car five years later. I have a 2017 Ti Lusso, now with 70K miles and while the leather is still butter soft and the wood still pristine, I want the harder core sportiness of the Competizione (but I don't want the expense of the Quad). Never in my life have I wanted the same dam car twice....that is the measure of the Legend the Giulia will become years from now.
    32
  700. It is time to negotiate. Long past time actually, but the offensive has been defeated. With no air cover Abrams will be blown up just like Leopards. A few F-16s are still months away and won't change the outcome of this offensive. Then its winter, Russians still sitting right where they are today, and rested with more tanks and more ammo. Armistice. Now.
    32
  701. Just like when I was a child in 1984!! The "Reds" , the "Russkies", the Rambo movies where a guy with no shirt on somehow never gets shot. It's all coming back to America for a new generation!
    32
  702. Ukraine MoD/Budanov is about as trustworthy as a Meth addict on a Friday night.
    32
  703. AFU has never been smart in this war. Look at Krinky
    32
  704. He is the real "Ghost of Kiev" 🙂
    32
  705. Word from the front is AFU hate's Western tanks for two reasons. #1 As soon as you show up, every Russian in a 10 mile radius shoots at you and no one wants to be the first one to die. #2 They are so heavy that their off-road performance is no good, restricting them to roads where Russian artillery already pre-sighted.
    32
  706. "repositions".... Just say "retreat" man...there is no dishonor in fighting hard and losing a battle. Everyone knows the city was doomed back in October.
    32
  707. I'm just going to go ahead and say it: The M1 Abrams is going to be massacred long before it ever even sees another tank to shoot at. Russia's Orlan drone loiters in the sky at will 70 km deep into Ukrainian territory and has been doing so all year long. The new Lancet attack drone now has 80 km range (just look up this week's strike on a Mig-29 70 km from the front). The Abrams' turbine engine will glow like a 4th of July sparkler to the thermal sights of the Ka-52, whose new missiles have 14 km range and are "fire-and-forget", not like the 8 km range ones that required the gunner to maintain lock that were used to decimate AFU at Bradley Square in June. The Orlan (Eagle) got a new targeting system a year ago called "EYE" (get it? EAGLE EYE? 🙂) that directly slaves it to the fire control of any TOS-1A or Tornado-S MLRS, or Krasnopol laser guided 152mm shell, meaning as soon as Orlan spots one, DFA is on the way. If, by some Divine Blessing, an Abrams survives all that to reach the combat line, the Kornet missile will rip it open just like it did the Challenger 2 a couple weeks ago. With double the bounty on it now because it is a US tank, any Ukrainian going into battle in that thing is a dead man walking.
    31
  708. That rail yard Iskander double-tap was......cold. Even AFU admits that in many towns in Eastern Ukraine, the old folks sympathize with Russia and tell them exactly where AFU is...."
    31
  709. Well they had to do something, all year they just been getting flattened everywhere and their morale is pretty low..."
    31
  710. Just this week in Avdiivka the Russian "Pipe Army" used some old drainage pipe to get behind the AFU lines, and for a day, AFU did not even know Russians were behind them. Whenever AFU called for reinforcements, HQ sent them but they never arrived (as Russia destroyed them in ambush). So many AFU were lost, that brigade became combat ineffective. Been a brutal week for Ukraine.
    31
  711. Wagner was 45K troops tops; out of a Russian Army of 500K now. Wagner was assault only too; no artillery, or dedicated tank battalions, no aviation. At the time of the rebellion, they were not even deployed----they were rest/refit after taking Bakhmut and training regular Army. Of course their absence did not slow Russia in the least! How could it??
    31
  712. I know this will anger (or scare) many on the Left, but when I was a child in 1983, almost everything my Pastor said would come true has indeed, come true. Things are actually worse than anything he described: anyone who champions Christian morality is immediately hounded into silence without mercy. Every example we were taught in Sunday School as the "wrong" choice, is now by far the most common choice in the United States. And, just as he warned us, when this time came, Death would stride among us all unabated, reaping the innocent and guilty alike and it would no longer shock people, so mundane our destruction would become.
    31
  713. Careful what you say Kirby. You really don't want us to add up the comparative totals of US JDAMs vs. RU FABs when it comes to civilian impact this year. You don't want to go there...
    31
  714. By 2050, American amusement parks, swim parks, beaches etc. will compete with each other based on how many soldiers they have inside the park during operating hours.
    31
  715. Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman at this very moment has a team of top engineers in a conference room saying to each other: "do you think we could build a B1 battle droid from "Star Wars"?? If so, how much do you think we could charge the US Government per droid??"
    31
  716. Wow. The gap between MSM and the objective media is sometimes so great, you really sometimes wonder if you can even tell what is real and what isn't. Over on the objective media (non-Western news) the debate is more along the lines of: Worst offensive in history? Gallipoli? Fredericksburg? Here is BBC still wondering if it can succeed.
    31
  717. ? NATO has fought alongside Ukraine for 3 years now.... Hasn't worked out that well...
    31
  718. I can't wait until the day I never hear the name "Zelensky" again..."
    31
  719. Wow. Shoigu really has managed the logistics of RU war machine well the last two years.
    31
  720. 25 year old "teaching" HS kids??? That is extremely unwise; like almost criminally negligent to hire a 25 year old to "teach" 17 year olds.
    31
  721. He is correct; that is why Russia now fighting like lions and tearing Ukrainian army to pieces
    31
  722. Drones didn't do that. Something with a lot more firepower did that...
    31
  723. Democrats in US are howling mad. They say Putin will rename Kharkiv to "Johnsongrad" 😂😂😂
    31
  724. He's going to be breaking rocks in Leavenworth for at least a decade.
    31
  725. People gonna believe what they want; even if Ukraine MoD reported their casualties, most of those hopeful for them to win would not believe it. Even a pro-Ukraine channel like Binkovs Battlegrounds today summarized MINIMUM Ukraine vehicle losses at FIVE HUNDRED since June 1st; including 117 tanks and 190 APC/IFV. It simply is not possible for Ukraine to have destroyed a similar amount of Russian vehicles because Russia is not on the offensive, AFU has far less artillery, and no air force----it just defies logic when people say "Ukraine is inflicting more casualties on Russians" and I read dozens of comments like that every day. They just believe "NATO magic" negates all objective reason.
    31
  726. Controlling yourself is usually a trait that distinguishes an adult from a child.... usually
    31
  727. Russia has gained more actual land in the past 48 hours than Ukraine has since June.
    31
  728. A lot of Western NATO types believe Russia cannot financially sustain this much longer; they believe the way to get some kind of positive outcome is to stretch it for as long as possible. I think that's why NATO is freaking out so much about North Korean troops (who are green and very few and not really a large tactical threat). If NK can speed up the timeline to AFU collapse, then their plan of "waiting it out for RU economic collapse" is in jeopardy....
    31
  729. FAB-3000 has entered the chat
    30
  730. My buddy is 56, been divorced over a decade and he tells me all the time women try this. It really amazes me as 90% of the women he meets make as much or more than he does (and he's paying child support for 3 kids to his ex-wife). I met my dream girl "trad wife" a decade ago; he tells me all the time I "won the woman lottery". I tell him "I know" 😁
    30
  731. Not better, just a different kind of fantastic. BOTH are extremely high quality, high performance vehicles; no one will make a "mistake" buying either. However just today a 2007 TL Type S passed me on the highway and therein lies the major difference between the TLX and the M340: you will never see the M340i pass you 16 years from now...
    30
  732. Well, the Abrams didn't last more than one day. First time seen in combat today; first one confirmed demilitarized.
    30
  733. If you are in a trench and enemy tanks are passing by just 30 meters away and all you can do is flatten yourself to the earth to hide, you are LOSING.
    30
  734. I read a news story months ago that "Ukraine's best brigades" were in Bakhmut, which is why it was so hard for Russia to capture. So, now that all those brigades were destroyed, they are sending more "elite" soldiers there to try and hold it? Russia seems happy to allow them to do this...
    30
  735. Pray for Russia to win. NATO cannot be the only power as they have proven the old adage "absolute power corrupts absolutely".
    30
  736. 80% of my news feed is women being deleted / going missing and its always hubby, BF or ex-BF....*
    30
  737. No amount of concrete can withstand the impact of a 1500 kg guided bomb.
    30
  738. Yesterday, China called NATO "arrogant". I wonder where they get that idea?
    30
  739. Wow! To see a Kinzhal or Iskander on terminal approach and taking out its precise target is awesome! Another hotel filled with NATO mercenaries. Anyone else notice that since the bridge attack with sea drones, Putin has focused on obliterating any building housing NATO personnel? Precision demilitarization from 500 miles away. Amazing.
    30
  740. When you see explosions inside the first explosion, or the building next to the one hit explodes too you know what was in there.
    30
  741. Iran should double the supply of whatever it was planning to provide to Russia.
    30
  742. US sends extra bombs and artillery, Turkey arrests them and expels them. Both NATO. LOL.
    30
  743. Ever wonder why the Democrats seem so fixated on Ukraine when our own country is in chaos? "About half of all agricultural land in Ukraine belongs to three large American companies Cargill, Dupont and Monsanto." 😮
    30
  744. Almost 200 missiles and drones, and only 18 killed?? All video provided by Ukraine so of course they only show the hospital or school, not the ammo dumps or storage facilities. Still, such a low casualty number for the size of the attack means Russia is aiming at targets that don't have a lot of people inside/nearby. Like ammo dumps, power facilities, vehicle storage, airport runways, etc.
    30
  745. So when Russians capture Abrams, Leopard 2, Bradley, Marder, etc. and tow it back they also have "a testament to the unit's tactical agility and resourcefulness on the battlefield."? Or, only when Ukraine does it? 😂😂😂 I wonder if the propaganda in WW2 was this bad??
    30
  746. Many pro-Russian sources are puzzled about the Kursk invasion. Many expected the strategic weaponry to come out if NATO dared to attack Russia directly and.........two weeks in, nothing more than Russia fighting the same way, just now on their own land. Maybe the Kursk thing just isn't really a threat to Russia's existence (yet)? Or they feel their vastly more militarily valuable gains in Donbas are worth losing a bit of non-critical territory for a while?"
    30
  747. NATO built their armored vehicle "brand" on gun superiority for the past 40 years; better range and better accuracy. Both now almost completely negated by the terrain of this war as no tank can see another vehicle at 2 or 3 km through treelines to use that "superior" gun. That Ukrainian T-64 was shot in the azz from 30 meters away; it drove right past an ambush point and was completely unaware. An Abrams doing that will explode just the same.
    30
  748. Russia keeps sending little reminders that it is "playing with its food" and neither Zelensky nor NATO get the message. The message is: "Whenever you are ready to talk, let me know. Otherwise I can keep up with this game all day long. You keep telling yourself you have a chance, and I keep reminding you that you do not. When you finally hear me. Let me know."
    30
  749. NATO is afraid; no other explanation for them howling so loudly about Russia getting help.
    30
  750. Whatever that Iskander hit was valuable as they don't waste them and that missile does not miss. Yesterday Russia double tapped an AFU structure holding Storm Shadow missiles and DU ammunition. They hit it while a drone watched, then when AFU came to try to salvage anything they hit it with two more missiles. Brutal. New vid today of latest veesion of Lancet drone hitting a Ukrainian Mig-29 sitting in the open...over 70 km from the Front. Previous Lancet max range was about 40 km. Of course bigger drone watched the whole thing. Russia owns the sky.
    30
  751. RU is inside Vovchansk and about to storm Lyptsi; Lyptsi is only 33km from Kharkiv. That means in about two days, RU will be able to directly shell Kharkiv all day and night with 1M North Korean artillery shells and rockets. May as well start calling it Kharkov right now...
    29
  752. One million dollars??? ONE million? Ukraine fires a $1M US missile every 10 minutes! This is like "discovering" China is shipping toilet paper to the Russian Army.
    29
  753. Russia cannot be beaten on its own soil. Look how far we've come in two years; Zelensky asking for ballistic missiles now. Where does it end??"
    29
  754. The drones are evolving faster than any other weapon type. The Ukraine ammo train the other day was hit while a drone watched. It was 60 km from the front. Now Ukraine seems to have an Orlan equivalent spotting artillery from 40 km. Russia soon to put S-70 stealth drone to work. Its like the jet age but with drones
    29
  755. 52 vs. 1 and not only does the 1 win but it gets BIGGER while doing so. 😂😂😂
    29
  756. Now we all understand why the Russians stopped short of Kharkiv a month ago. Like Putin said, no desire (or need) to take the city itself. Just draw more AFU away from the south, and sit there while they build a new Surovikin Line along the border that will, like Tokmak, resemble the surface of the Death Star.
    29
  757. Good to see they are taking responsibility for their actions.
    29
  758.  @Funktastico  RU uses GLONASS, not GPS and the frequencies are very close, meaning any jammer Ukraine has would also jam GPS in that area.
    29
  759. Wow, the secondary explosion was almost as big as the initial impact!! Hypersonic washing machines are deadly!
    29
  760. I'm 49 and will never vote for a President who uses language like "Our Global Order" , or "regime change" ever again.
    29
  761. US Army just adopted the M10 Booker for mobile infantry fire support; cost $13M each. M10 has 105mm gun, .50 cal. machine gun, and 7.62 machine gun. A new BMP-3 costs about $2M. BMP-3 has 100mm gun, 30mm autocannon, and 3x7.62 machine guns. LOL. Russia wins.
    29
  762. The secret to buying a Maserati is to buy it CPO. The certified warranty has unlimited mileage and even brand new you don't get unlimited mileage. You can buy one CPO, put 100,000 miles on it in three years, then sell it or trade it for another. That is the least expensive way to enjoy them and you make that depreciation work for you, not against you. For the price of a low end Benz, you can drive a spectacularly appointed Quattroporte with Zegna silk interior and wood that costs more than an entire Hyundai. Alternatively, if you are good with DIY, and have a shop nearby that works on Maserati, any of the six cylinder ones can be kept running well for about the same $$$ as a Porsche. The 8 cylinder ones are for the wealthy, period; don't even bother if your income is solely by W2 wages I don't care how high.
    29
  763. Azov refused the order to go to Chasiv Yar. The End is near...
    29
  764. I love the way Russia speaks about the West; pure and uncut. They have no concept of "political correctness" or "wokeism"; just the hard truth raw dog style...😂
    29
  765. Hmm, war map from today looks just like the one from April, 2022. I mean this is the guy who said in January that Russia had 200,000 dead....not casualties, KIA, when they had not even deployed that many soldiers.
    29
  766. Then Rishi smacks that talk down. LOL. That's embarrassing. First Canada, now UK....it has not been a good week for the British Empire. A lot of cases of "open mouth, insert foot" going around among them...
    29
  767. The grandfathers of the RU Army soldiers would be proud of them. Took an initial defeat, did not quit, went defensive, built up their power, took the enemy best offensive blow, then started up their steamroller and now they are unstoppable. Just like 1944..."
    29
  768. RU now using UMPB guided bombs; these are FAB bombs with a little cheap rocket motor that extends their standoff range by 30% or more. SU-34 can drop them from 100km away and they just fly themselves all the way to the power plant.
    29
  769. Strange. That is exactly what Putin said about NATO in the Carlson interview. Ukraine and Russia had a deal in Istanbul; NATO came in and said "you want Zelensky to sign when you are surrounding Kyiv? Give him a sign that you won't crush them" So Putin pulls back, but then Boris jumps in and floods Ukriane with anti-tank and anti-aircraft missiles and convinces Zelensky to fight. Rest is history....
    29
  770. Russia, with 1/10th the budget of the US alone, has fought 30 NATO countries to a draw for almost two years. If you add in the budgets of Germany, UK, Poland etc., then Russia's budget is a mere EIGHT PERCENT of what its enemies spend collectively; and Russia has defeated or countered virtually every weapon they've given to Ukraine. If Russian engineers were given all that money, Russia would rule the entire Milky Way Galaxy.
    29
  771. Imagine what our country will be like in 2050.....
    29
  772. It means Putin has already begun the post-war negotiations. No matter what you think of Putin; he always puts Russia first. I wish we in America still had leaders like that.
    29
  773. Holy shyte “kick US out of NATO” is a phrase probably never said before in history….
    29
  774. NATO countries to Ukraine: "Here, you can have our broken and busted down shit we cant use anyway. 😂😂😂
    28
  775. My daughter got into Baylor at $75K a year, in spite of 3.95 GPA, school and Federal money only covered half of it so she went to another school. Would be great to live in a country that can spare $8B for its own citizens over foreigners , wonder what that would be like....
    28
  776. Sigh. Here we go again for yet another war: West media only shows us the school, maternity ward, retirement home, or daycare center, but never the ammo depot, airbase, port, tank factory, or HQ
    28
  777. They haven't broken through anything. They are stuck in Robotyne and they have gone south to bypass but they are now halted in a killbox with Russians on 3 sides. Yes they are being mowed down like grass
    28
  778. I'm a nobody and I knew that. A month ago Zelensky said it out loud "we're not ready"
    28
  779. I pray this is the start of the Russian steamroller because that will end the war.
    28
  780. When I graduated in 1994, I should have gone into the weapons business...more reliable flow of billions than any industry other than Energy.
    28
  781. My ancestral homeland trying to do the difficult work cleaning up the mess of France and the United States. Jamaica did not have a hand in what made Haiti, but maybe they can help save Haiti. God be with you all...."
    28
  782. I mean what did he expect? "Yeah let's all let you in so the next morning we can all be at war with Russia! Great idea!!"
    28
  783. May 1940: Brits: "Hey, let's have an air show where we display all our latest fighter planes and invite our RAF Air Marshall, Wing Commanders, and engineers. Oh and bring the kids too! It'll be great!" Luftwaffe: "OK, thank you for the invite."
    28
  784. Russia shoots down ATACMS rockets every day. Of course some always get through and they do damage, but Russia always turns right around and sends a dozen Tornado-S or Iskanders back and does the same or more damage to Ukraine. Longer range just means they'll be in flight longer giving more time to shoot them down. Plus they do nothing about the steamroller on the ground taking city after city after city...
    28
  785. A question I've asked for years now; why should we care how others choose to live their lives? When Burkina Faso expelled the French a few months ago, the first thing the US did was send Vicky Nuland there to threaten the new government. Why? Why does the US and UK always rely on implied force to cow others into living as they think they should? Where does this cultural conceit come from??
    28
  786. These guys are LITERALLY dying for political reasons. The NATO summit is in 30 days; Zelensky has to show his Patrons (masters?) that their investment in him is worth it.
    28
  787. Zelensky: "Someone call Joe Biden and tell him we need $65B now not $60B!"
    28
  788. From what I can see, the Russia electronic warfare is a big reason things accelerated in Avdiivka in 2024. They have suppressed AFU drones, anything GPS guided , starlink has been impacted, etc. While GLONASS putting HE on everything and anything in front of them. They adapted
    28
  789. If CNN ever asked Zelensky a hard question like "now two years on, do you wish you'd taken the opportunity to negotiate a settlement?", then you'd know the world has turned upside down.
    28
  790. Ukraine has long been storing NATO weapons and supplies in civilian buildings. This is well known as it is the only way to preserve them from Russian missile strikes as anything obviously military like bases and depot areas have already been destroyed months ago by Russia.
    28
  791. Clearly not one NATO leader ever asked the tough questions or engaged in even the slightest critical thinking when this adventure was proposed to them.
    28
  792. Zelensky: "I'm ready to talk, but on my terms." 😂 That's like Hirohito after TWO bombs: "So, you Americans are still going to surrender to us, right?"
    28
  793. Good God. This guy was a walking, talking John Dillinger and its like nobody around him realize just how much of a monster he was. Haven't people learned yet to order background checks on new people entering their lives??
    27
  794. Those Marines of the Black Sea Fleet in Kursk are tough hombres....stopped AFU cold two weeks ago and Ukraine can't get past them...."
    27
  795. Zelensky four days ago: "We are prepared for this new offensive..." How that comedian has any credibility left I will never understand
    27
  796. He let slip the truth! 😂 Not that anyone is surprised; who here thinks that NATO training "excercise" is just NATO running around pretending to shoot at each other and they'll all go home??
    27
  797. This FPV drone evolution is crazy. Less than a decade ago I bought my kid a quad copter toy he flew around the house for a week until it crashed one time too many. He used my Android phone that by today's standards would be considered a dinosaur. Yet, here we are and the exact same technology is now a deadly weapon of war that can kill people and damage million dollar armored vehicles. Crazy!
    27
  798. Tomahawk requires a ship to launch it. It is also quite old design (1983) and subsonic with no stealth. Pantsir-S1 will eat it for breakfast without even pausing to swallow...
    27
  799. I knew something had changed about the Iskander! Two weeks ago they used one on a single Ukrainian tank and I thought "dam RU not playing if they now will use an Iskander on a tank". Then in the past few weeks , we've seen double, triple, even quadruple-tap Iskander hits all over the front. I just remarked yesterday on another channel it seems like RU has more Iskanders to use. I don't know how they are doing it, but if RU got the cost of Iskander down (or maybe Iran/NK building clones for them?) to a level where they basically don't have to count them, its is GGWP for Ukraine. That is 1000kg of HE hitting at Mach 6 with a 9m CEP, and that covers every inch of their country.... Forget it, man!"
    27
  800. Man, in 20 minutes you answered EVERY question I had about this most recent situation. All we get is what is in Forbes, NYT, and WSJ; they leave out the most important parts. For example, I know Iran is Shia and was scratching my head how they were "supporting" Iraq because I still associate Iraq with Sunni as Saddam was Sunni. Boom! Ignorance cleared! Keep up the awesome work my man! (Oh, and that meme about "what are you doing?" was funny AF!!!) 😂
    27
  801. Syria is what put Turkish aerospace on the map. Watching Bayraktar take out modern Syrian air defense raised a lot of eyebrows. Now, lets not get carried away. Russians quickly cleansed the skies of all Turkish drones Ukraine had and it wasn't really all that difficult. Top tier nations' air defense can handle any Turkish drone. However, for 2nd or 3rd tier opponents, these drones have an excellent price/performance ratio, and who knows in another decade, the Turks may be able to compete with Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, and BAE.
    27
  802. You'd have a better chance of finding a unicorn than an American on the street who knows Russian history, so I understand why we are at war. However if you could somehow imbue the population overnight with such knowledge, I can guarantee we'd not be in this fight. Ukraine/Russia have been "cousins" since before the time of the Kievan Rus. Ukrainian and Russian princes took the same road to pay their tributes to their Mongol Golden Horde overlords for centuries. They fought and defeated the Mongols together. They fought and defeated the Wehrmacht together. Now, after 1500 years, a few Nationalists let themselves be convinced by NATO diplomats that they need to be "separate" from Russia. A separation mostly that favors NATO, and they have led their fellow countrymen to disaster as a result.
    27
  803. Do it Macron. US already tapped out; show us how it's done.
    27
  804. I'm starting to understand why there are so many women on OnlyFans with no husband or boyfriend just scratching out a life for themselves alone. It is too dangerous to be in a relationship.
    27
  805. "He prayed on it...." Did God answer and Higgins now loves Haitians like Jesus loves them?
    27
  806. An honorable man should realize when time has passed him by, and graciously step aside. There is no shame in it; the years take their toll on us all and none will escape it.
    27
  807. You gotta admit, the world is far more entertaining with Prigozhin in it than not.
    27
  808. By September, we are going to see things no one has since 1945...
    27
  809. West media hyping this guy as if he were Peter The Great. They never mentioned Gonzalo Lira....
    27
  810. A "sky shield"?? No one on Earth has that. Is he saying he needs aliens to come to Earth to protect him from Putins wrath? Probably, if any man would demand Mars give him weapons, it would be Zelensky
    27
  811. I just hope some GOP member asks him "we gave you an army that was the largest in Europe, what happened to it? Why would anything be different if we give you another army?"
    27
  812. RU always a bit slow to gather itself, but once they do its ggwp. CNN will run with this for a few days and will drop the whole story once the AFU units are destroyed or retreat
    27
  813. Rates ain't going down in a year!! FED has at least one more INCREASE on deck soon. Rates may flatline for a couple years, but you won't see a rate cut until 2026 at the earliest.
    27
  814. Here in the United States, they are changing our textbooks to reflect that Chattel Slavery in the American South was a job skills training program for displaced Africans.
    27
  815. AFU themselves are saying they don't have the men to maximize the use of more weapons anyway. YES, they'll blow up some tanks and inflict more casualties, but it won't change a thing.
    27
  816. From now on, any device I buy with a radio I need to see a chain-of-custody document and an inspection to be sure it doesn't have an Israeli bomb installed....
    27
  817. This is a message to Trump, not Biden or Harris....
    27
  818. Truth starting to trickle out now (as it does within a few hours or days of every major attack). That hotel had NATO engineers, technicians, mercenaries and Ukrainian Navy personnel in it; it was the base of operations where NATO/Ukraine initiated attacks on Crimea. Whenever the US Global Hawk flies close to Crimea, Ukraine attacks a few hours later. Russians noticed Global Hawk yesterday, and this time bombed the hotel BEFORE the Ukrainian attack! No attack on Crimea last night. 😂😂😂
    27
  819. My favorite cope channel. Even more entertaining than Denis Davyov!!
    27
  820. Wow. This is awesome on a big monitor!!
    27
  821. Do a follow up interview with this guy tomorrow morning....if you can.
    27
  822. NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg has said that any battlefield gains made in Ukraine’s counteroffensive could provide leverage in future peace talks with Russia. That's the first time I've heard NATO openly discuss "talks"; that means reality is settling in that Ukraine will never be able to push 300K Russians out of Crimea and the annexed territories. At best they'll have a few square km of land to bargain with.
    27
  823. Shoigu is the only Russian other than Putin that is 100% free of BS. That man has few words, but when he says something it is gospel.
    27
  824. This summer the world will see things it hasn't since 1945...."
    26
  825. Interesting theory. ALL of Western media (and Ukraine itself) says Russia blew up the dam; you are the first to objectively argue it was Ukraine.
    26
  826. You'll never see this on CNN.
    26
  827. The grandfathers of the RU Army soldiers would be proud of them. Took an initial defeat, did not quit, went defensive, built up their power, took the enemy best offensive blow, then started up their steamroller and now they are unstoppable. Just like 1944..."
    26
  828. A Mexican named "Sheinbaum"??? What's next a Nigerian named "O'Malley"??😂
    26
  829. Just more evidence Russia demilitarized NATO. Remember a year ago the American "switchblade" drones? All the CNN/BBC bots squealing how they were going to hurt the RU army? Russia just jam GPS and the switchblade drones fall out of sky like flies hit by bug spray." 😂😂😂
    26
  830.  @underarmbowlingincidentof1981  Russian ARMY had plenty. They just didn't want to make a private company have priority over the Army for shells. That is NOT the same as "Russia is running low on ammo". Russia has NEVER been "low on ammo".
    26
  831. She quit before the complete collapse of her world building project but that will not save her.
    26
  832. My wife can't watch this scene at all; she had a difficult delivery 25 years ago and this brings back too many bad memories. Now THAT is some acting...
    26
  833. When he said "....not supporting Ukraine is almost criminal negligence...", he lost me. Ukraine isn't a US State, or Territory; I took no oath to defend it. It is just a Policy of a Presidential Administration; like more money for the Forest Service or Obamacare. No one ever called me a "criminal" because I didn't support their policy goals.... FJB.
    26
  834. Like when he said "we killed an American citizen" in Bakhmut and turns out, they killed an American citizen merc in Bakhmut?? 😂
    26
  835. Its the Chinese golf carts and e-bikes that are ravaging Ukraines front line..." 😂
    26
  836. ...but they still keep sending Israel the JDAMs, whether Israel listens or not!
    26
  837. Lol ... 51 soldiers we all know 😂
    26
  838. Anyone who believes Ukraine can win needs a mental health evaluation. Don't take my word for it; take America's: "National Security Advisor, Jake Sullivan, claimed that F-16 fighter jets sent to Ukraine would be unlikely to have a significant impact on the battlefield. Sullivan also said that "Russia has 800 to 900 fourth- and fifth-generation fighters." 800-900 fighters to Ukraine's old 84 (last count, last week's 100 missile barrage probably reduced this a bit). People are starting to sound like QAnon kooks or "Big Lie" numbskulls...
    26
  839. Problem is even if the AA system locks on and fires on it; the missile cannot really damage it very much. AA missiles are designed to shred aluminum and titanium skinned fuselage; a gravity bomb is encased in steel. The fragments produced from nearby missile warhead detonation just bounce off.
    26
  840. I disagree with DEM Policy on this and will vote that way in November.
    26
  841. Holy crap!! No idea it was that bad! Looks like a real life Godzilla Minus One scene!
    26
  842. LMAO. Donetsk city residents from 2014 onward would like a word...
    26
  843. Hotels full of NATO troops, right? This is not journalism; you didn't talk to any of the people staying there waiting to be liberated.
    26
  844. Zelensky is now in "Army Group Steiner" territory; moving units that don't exist on his battle map.
    26
  845. So AFU is pulling the Abrams from combat ops because they are being destroyed too easily?
    26
  846. Good use for old tank that's still running! Tough enough to probably make it close enough to the enemy line to kill them with blast wave/shrapnel!
    26
  847. I can only assume Ukraine is trying to re-take Bakhmut in order to push through it and possibly flank the Russian defense line to either side. Otherwise I can't see why they'd waste troops and ammo in re-taking a pile of rubble that would be very easy for Russia to defend at great cost to Ukraine.
    26
  848. All you women under age 30 stop selling your hoohah for $200 a pop. Your value is the highest it will ever be between the ages of 18 and 28; selling it online is a staggering devaluation of yourselves. Your grandmother's all knew this, but your mothers all fell for the "Feminism" of the last 25 years and didn't teach you the old wisdom. I'm not even talking religion, I'm talking common sense*. You have the "pretty privilege" when you are young; do not throw it away for pennies. Demand marriage only; and men *will meet your demand; have standards and men will meet those standards. Men will only value you as much as you value yourself! The "old rules" got that way for a reason: they work!!
    26
  849. Usually the "attrition strategy" favors the side with MORE resources, not LESS but what do I know. AFU has demonstrated such "4D Chess" level strategic and tactical mastery so far after all...
    26
  850. Zelensky has no one to blame but himself. He had 75% of what he wanted in Istanbul in 2022 (and when you are in the lion's den, getting out with 75% of your body is a smashing success). However that deal was 0% of what the US/UK wanted , so they sent emissaries to whisper in Zelensky's ear, and convince him they could enable him to get that other 25%. He listened, and his choice doomed himself and his country.
    26
  851. Nobody can define "win" because nobody really knows what the strategic goal of Russia is. Russia being open to talks right now can mean only one thing: they already have enough to feel like they are in a strong negotiating position. By definition that means Ukraine cannot possibly be "winning"; especially since Ukraine relies on 3rd parties for all its combat power and that can go away at any time.
    26
  852. If Russia lets Crimea and Ukraine be controlled by NATO, US and UK warships will sit in Sevastopol, a city with centuries of Russian naval history (named by Catherine II). US missiles will be 500 km from Moscow. That is like Russia putting warships in San Francisco or Portsmouth. To lose is to become slaves to the US; they would have no more sovereignty. If they invited the West to do all that is one thing, but for us to do it by force I don't blame them for fighting; I'd fight that too...
    26
  853. This is beyond "unreasonable"; it really devalues the monumental loss of the victim to their family. Where I live, a few repeat ATM thieves were caught recently and their bail was $450K. This child's life was worth far more than $80K in cash....
    26
  854. I'm almost at the point I want RU to do it. If only to see the deer-in-the-headlights look on Macron and Stoltenberg's faces. Biden would not even be aware of what happened...
    26
  855. "Oh, we just decide to leave. Being surrounded, shelled day and night for weeks, hundreds of casualties didn't factor into it at all..."
    26
  856. LOL. AFU park their pickup trucks neatly in the driveway like they live there.... 🤣
    26
  857. This update gives meaning to the phrase "defense in depth". By the time Ukrainians reach the Sea of Azov, there will only be 11 of them left alive and uninjured. I'd love to know what Russian weapon nailed a bullseye at 40km!!
    26
  858. Pretty much confirms (as if I needed it) who blew up the Kakhovka Dam. Ukraine knew it wanted to attack through Zaporizhzhia (the shortest path to the Sea of Azov), but if they threw their (only offensive) army there, they would be weak and open to a devastating counter through Kherson. They blew it up so no one could attack through there; mean nothing to them as they weren't going to anyway.
    25
  859. North Korean KN-25 heavy MLRS. 600 mm diameter rockets, larger warhead than ATACMS, 380 km range to ATACMS 200 km range. Not as accurate as ATACMS, but doesn't matter as a salvo with cluster warhead will obliterate everything in a four football field box. Putin knew ATACMS would come one day; he always had a plan....he always does.
    25
  860. Perfect example of gaslighting: "See, if you don't give me what I want, the guy you don't like is happy!!"
    25
  861. Its been an hour; has the US State Dept announced that Ukraine was not involved?
    25
  862. Drones with bombs, wonder where they got that idea from....
    25
  863. Wow. Anyone in the West who dares to disobey Zelensky is quickly and summarily dismissed. Just like in Russia...
    25
  864. I giggle when 30 year olds wrinkle their nose at Mitsubishi. When I was in high school, in 1993 Mitsubishi arguably ruled the JDM sports car world. Their turbo and AWD tech was unmatched and only Toyota and Nissan could really compete with them; Honda's entire lineup couldn't hold a candle to Mitsubishi in terms of performance or AWD. Very few know this, Mitsubishi taught Hyundai how to build cars well enough to sell in the United States. Way back in 1988, it was Mitsubishi selling engines to Hyundai, licensing the Koreans to build Mitsubishi designs, etc. that allowed Hyundai to be what they are today.
    25
  865. That drone vid over Selydove confirms your statements from a few days ago; these towns Russia is taking now are almost completely intact. The buildings in the background look to be in move-in condition with not even a scorch mark on them. Is that because AFU don't have the manpower to defend them, requiring Russia to reduce the city to rubble? Same for Kurakhove; city looks to be mostly undamaged. RU should simply widen the advance of the steamroller, even including places they don't even really care that much about. The broader the front, the more spread out AFU will be meaning some towns will not even be defended, or all towns will be taken without RU having to bombard them very much
    25
  866. Zelensky trying to publicly embarrass Romania to force them to fight Russia on his behalf, probably won't work out too well for him at the next NATO Summit.
    25
  867. Was he ever in the past two years in the same city at the same time as Vicky Nuland??
    25
  868. Iwo Jima went horribly for US Marines, but they never stopped. It had to be taken to win the war. Same is true of Avdiivka. If it takes 3 months and 10K casualties, so be it.
    25
  869. Kind of funny: "I offer a ceasefire!" right after firing 300 drones....LOL
    25
  870. Keep the handyman busy installing glass and painting walls? Who knows
    25
  871. US issued a statement: "We had nothing to do with this; it is the decision of the President of Ukraine". Right. When the EU/US are paying the salaries of ALL of Ukraine's police/fire/politicians/army/water dept/etc....😂😂😂
    25
  872. RU had over thirty bombers in the air last night. Can UK even put up thirty combat aircraft at the same time? Does UK even have thirty bombers??
    25
  873. An American military officer said "Ukraine has been given over 600 different types of weapons for the offensive. That is more types than any other army in the world." Given.....not purchased.
    25
  874. Oh I'm sure more than "five" were "injured". We are hearing a whole different story on Telegram. 😂 Remember, hypersonic missiles cannot be shot down, and they don't miss.
    25
  875. Badass! How can Westerners donate money to Russia?" Biden blocked my bank..."
    25
  876. Kh-101/55 are not aimed at apartment blocks and junkyards....those were the ones shot down. No video of the ones that hit their military targets?
    25
  877. "Ukraine has not denied taking the plane down, but says it's possible it was a "planned and deliberate" act by Russia..." That HAD to be written by Budanov; only an Intelligence Officer schooled in Information Warfare could issue such a contradictory statement. How do you even interpret that? "We shot it down, but Russia deliberately made us do it"???
    25
  878. I think most close watchers know that Russia actually started their offensive a week before Ukraine did. Once they crush Ukraine's they'll resume and their plan is to not stop until the Polish border.
    25
  879. Putin actually looks happy...
    25
  880. Slava Rossiya!!
    25
  881. So how many US and UK servicemen were killed by the missile? Someone add a column to the spreadsheet for US and UK casualties
    25
  882. If Russia proves Ukraine wrong (again!) on this, that is a political win on the scale of Bakhmut.
    25
  883. Buy it now because by 2024 the new version on Stellantis' Global Large platform will be here and it'll be EV only. Yes, it will probably bend space-time with its speed and will smoke these V8's into oblivion; but they won't be as much fun.
    24
  884. All I'm waiting for is for Ukraine to get within 2-3km of the first defense line. I will laugh my ass off when the first video of a T-54 blowing apart a Bradley with a 60 year old 100mm HE shell emerges.
    24
  885. If they can show they were "tricked" by the Indian recruiters, then Russia should discharge them and send them home. If some of them signed up for the big money and now, after seeing what war really is they want to come home. I'd say no, let them stay and fulfill their obligation. No one made them join; they accepted the money to become a soldier, they should own up and be a soldier.
    24
  886. 100% true. Our MIC doesn't know how to build "simple" things, even when asked to. A "cheap" drone to Northrop-Grumman or Lockheed-Martin is $1M each...."
    24
  887. Oh yeah, you are 100% correct! I sold my 2012 Jaguar XKR with only 51K miles a couple weeks ago to the local Benz dealer because the price they were willing to pay was simply too high for me to pass up. When we were haggling over the price, the guy said "sir, you know that in a month or two, you won't get anywhere near this for that car, right?" I smiled and said "yep! I know that very well!" 🙂
    24
  888. They not even engaged yet. Fake news
    24
  889. Wow, 0-60 in 3.8 is fast. That's exactly what my 2014 Stingray did it in and I still have memories of doing runs in that monster that bring a smile to my face. This starts at $56K (I paid $58K for my Stingray in '14), so that seems about right. Much better quality leather in this too; that cheap leather in the base Stingray was below even Kia-grade. Audi hit this one out of the park!
    24
  890. Because pay is much better in Britain. Their own government should create incentives for them to stay. Have to compete in a global economy
    24
  891. I think my next vehicle will be one of these but since I never off road, it is great to see a summary of their strengths doing non off road things. I've built both online and they are within $5K the way I want so cost isn't factor. Oh and I love "unreliable" vehicles. I have: 2011 Jag XJ SC---92K miles 2012 Jag XKR---51K miles 2017 Alfa Giulia----42K miles Between all three I've replaced the water pump on the XJ two years ago. That's it.
    24
  892. That day you realize an Acura TLX Type S weighs more than a Jaguar XJ....
    24
  893. My 2017 Giulia has 65K miles and I've never had a problem in almost six years. Years ago I got into a big argument with a friend who swore the Alfa spec oil (that was hard to find five years ago) was "BS" because any oil of the proper weight would be fine. I said "if Alfa says use only this spec, that is the spec I will use, I don't care it costs twice as much as Supertech at Wal-Mart". I also had a 2012 Enclave for years that I gave to a young relative (still going strong at 160K miles) and when I got it my mechanic said "make sure you top off between oil changes, that GM 3.6 can stretch its chain due to low oil". He said 90% of the GM 3.6 we get in for stretched timing chain, the owner left oil in too long or didn't put enough in. So that's what I did and here it is at 160K purring like a kitty. I've learned that there are no unreliable cars, only unreliable owners.
    24
  894. A baby Terminator that can carry assault troops.
    24
  895. All those Stop Oil people in UK are like "holy crap! I hope our drivers don't start doing that!"
    24
  896. Zelensky doesn't want a "loan"; he wants us taxpayers to give him a Ford-class supercarrier, and when Russia destroys it, just send him another one.
    24
  897. RU State Duma just voted to affirm NK as a "strategic partner of Russia". Essentially RU and NK are now a military alliance just like US and UK; attack on one is an attack on the other. For now, word is they will only fight in Kursk, since that is Russian territory and no one can argue that they are "in Ukraine" as they help eject an invading army. NK hasn't fought a war in over 70 years; not even our oldest generals have any experience against them. These are the sights and sounds of history shifting and changing; we are all witness...
    24
  898. Even NATO admitting its over; Stoltenberg apologizing today for not helping more
    24
  899. A person will not negotiate something with you if the believe they can take it whole by force. The fundamental reason the war started and continues is the United States (primarily) believes it does not have to negotiate; that by economic and military means it can take Crimea away from Russia by force. It is the equivalent of Russia wanting to take California and the key naval base in San Francisco, denying the United States access to the Pacific forever.
    24
  900. Still no North Koreans....lol
    24
  901.  @bobwoods1302  Putin is only reacting to NATO. Would you sit still and allow your enemy to set up camp on your front lawn? Be honest. You wouldn't...
    24
  902. "...this could all have been worked out between us over a bottle of vodka and a balalaika, but they did not want to listen..." -- Spetznaz , August 2023 during interview on ITV.
    24
  903. Viktor Orban is in China today meeting with Xi to discuss a ceasefire in Chicago...
    24
  904. This is Prigozhin vs. the "elites" and this was going to happen no matter what (I guessed after the war was over though). Just last week Putin sided with Shoigu that Wagner must come under Army control (the right decision). Putin chose the "elites" and this is what has set Prigozhin off. Putin is no fool; he knows that once the war is over he cannot have an independent force of 30K to 40K battle-hardened shock troops just sitting around with nothing to do and not under Army jurisdiction. He made a choice, and in doing so gave Prigozhin one: fold your army into the military or be destroyed. Prigozhin just chose....
    24
  905. LOL. Who gonna stop the Russians?? The French Army??? Hahahahah.....OMG....please....stop. Hahahahah.....
    24
  906. Those Wagners man....they are going into the history books with Spartans, Persian Immortals, Centurions, US Marines in Pacific War, etc....
    24
  907. He's right, the stupid "Nazi" reference was completely uncalled for.
    24
  908. Scholz should ask his US/UK friends to stop trying to put their missiles into Ukraine and their navies into the Sea of Azov. See how things work both ways?
    24
  909. I don't even think Russians want to fully encircle the city; they can shell the only way in/out right now. What more do they need to do? That's why Wagner demanding more artillery; they have Ukraine army right where they want them and they just need to pulverize them from afar and repel any counter-attacks. No need for Russian to push to seal the "gap".
    23
  910. I said "Russia is taking a lot of towns" and YT deleted it.
    23
  911. Su-34s flying 50 sorties a day now. Missiles hitting Dnipro in a totally dark sky (zero Ukrainian anti air.) Ughhh, yeah we noticed Ukraines air defense are gone
    23
  912. I guessed this. Wagner just finished training a brigade for Russian regular army a few weeks ago. I figured if Prigo is in Belarus with no army, the best thing he could do up there is train Belorussian army recruits.
    23
  913. The Summer of Judgement has begun...
    23
  914. When everyone is a "war criminal", no one is.
    23
  915. 40,000 is the exact size of the force they deployed there 😂😂😂
    23
  916. Storm Shadow?
    23
  917. There are 67K Ukrainians massed to the east of Bakhmut. There are about 40K (mostly NATO-trained) just north of Zaporizhzhia, with maybe another 20K north of Donetsk. That is it. That is Ukraine's combat power; the bloggers who track units are very, very good at it---the leaked US intel confirmed this. Two weeks ago Zelensky mobilized again because 120K or so won't do as Russia has 180K around Bakhmut alone.
    23
  918. LOL. Orban tried to negotiate a Christmas Day ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine but Zelensky refused; Orban was livid saying "even the Germans and French were able to honor a Christmas ceasefire in WW1". Merry Christmas! 😂
    23
  919. The video from the Donetsk market yesterday was brutal.
    23
  920. As soon as I hear "full-scale" in any story about Ukraine, I click to something else....bye
    23
  921. Three months after the "North Korean Panic" all over the news, STILL no one other than Zelensky has seen one.
    23
  922. Yeah right, who is going to make them?
    23
  923. Finally found the "Hero" video I've been hearing about all day. The one where a lone Russian tank goes 1 on 8 against 2 Ukrainian tanks and 6 IFVs. The Russian emerges from a treeline and charges the oncoming Ukrainians but there is a copse of forest between them. He pops the first Ukrainian tank twice, then drills an IFV, the rest stop wondering what is hitting them. The Russian reverses and hits the second Ukrainian tank, blowing its turret off. He then nails the remaining 5 APCs one by one. The mil blogger said it was a T-90M, networked to the drone that was recording the battle; the tank could "see" what the drone could see and that is why the Ukrainians never fired even once as they could not see through the trees at what was hitting them. Amazing.
    23
  924. NATO Article 5 doesn't count if you are the one who attacks first.... Think Portugal is going to feel compelled to help out when a French expeditionary force is surrounded and about to be overrun?? 😂
    23
  925. I'll never forget "the verdict". I was on lunch break from my job in a downtown highrise, the food court was packed and all the big screen TVs had the channel to the LA courtroom (yes kids, at that time no one carried a TV in their pocket). When the verdict was announced there was stunned silence....probably 500 or more people all in suits or a dress....utterly quiet. I quickly pivoted and headed straight for the elevator to get out of there because at that time I was 24 and fresh out of B-school; and I am black so at that moment there were probably 480 very angry white people in that food court and maybe 20 black people at the most. I was worried somebody may see me and take out their anger on me and I didn't want to ruin my very expensive new suit. You'll never understand it if you didn't live through it.
    23
  926. Next week please do a video profile on American pro-war influencers pushing Biden's War. Probably will be a much longer runtime...
    23
  927. I swear the worldwide crying reminds me of a bunch of kids all living on the same street. There are two "groups" around four or five popular kids, and each group constantly trying to beat each other at every kind of game or activities. As you can imagine, every day is whining and crying from one side or another...
    23
  928. Looks sleek, but I don't care if its 1000 decibels; its an .mp3 file. The sound of an engine is naturally real. EVs don't naturally make a sound. Stop trying to change that natural truth.
    23
  929. Is US at war? How is US dictating whether Ukraine talks or not??
    23
  930. To think we all helped pay for this....whether we wanted to or not....
    23
  931. That last Iskander definitely hit something volatile.
    23
  932. Excalibur faltered. Switchblade faltered. JDAM faltered. Abrams faltered. F-16 will falter...
    23
  933. Zaluzhny's open letter to me seemed like his resignation letter.
    23
  934. So, she's Trump's campaign manager as well as his defense lawyer? Is that it?
    23
  935. "I don't want to escalate" now going into the same category as "war crime" and "game changer". NATO is creating an entire array of memes as examples of its own failure
    23
  936. NATO will never listen to reason because for them the whole point is Russia. Ukraine just happen to be the schoolyard where the two rival powers meet
    23
  937. I bet the Times had a very, very difficult time clicking the "submit" button on this article. They'll get better at it as time goes on though, as they'll be clicking it far more often...
    23
  938. That place is insane. Pay for your own training before being forced into the meat grinder?? How do they pay? With money the US sends to pay everyone's salary. Using guys who fought to go collect up guys who haven't. I'm 100% certain that NATO "training army" in Poland is going into Ukraine by the summer.
    23
  939. Make sure neither side has keys to the armory
    23
  940. Romania says "no they didn't" LOL. Zelensky is losing his mind week by week. His desperation is palpable; new mobilization, sending 71 year old men to NATO training, now reports he is demanding NATO countries FORCIBLY send back Ukrainian male refugees between ages 25 and 50. Is there anyone in the Kyiv Halls of Power that can handle this like the Romans did when the Emperor is beyond reason??
    23
  941. As usual, it takes some time for us to get the full picture. Russian MoD recently reported to Putin they identified about 50 military, and 250 commercial satellites that actively participate in the war against them. They didn't specify how, only that this is an issue we need to "resolve".
    23
  942. Who pays the French mercenaries? I can't believe there is enough money in the world to go where you can only "help", not fight back, and you are target #1. Kind of like Vietnam was for America...
    23
  943. I'm Black, forget JB; too old, too feeble, hated student loan wipeout, don't want WW3. Voting Trump.
    23
  944. Beautiful! Just like when CNN reported the missile that hit the hotel in Odessa as "...its just a peaceful hotel, a civilian target". Then the next day we all learn over 100 British/American/Polish mercenaries were encamped in the hotel. Wonderful strike Russia!! Keep it up; many Americans are with you!
    23
  945. AFU fired 10 storm shadow missiles and several drones at Crimea two nights ago. Russia has over 50 Pantsir-S1 systems in Crimea alone (benefit of making your own military equipment). That is literally 600+ anti-aircraft missiles covering an area less than 1/20th the size of Ukraine. You didn't hear about it on CNN or BBC because every single storm shadow was splashed. Zelensky was so jealous...
    23
  946. Already seeing articles up where observers now wondering what Putin is going to do to Ukraine in response... Probably something we've never seen before..."
    23
  947. RU and NK didn't ally themselves to win the war (the war is already won); they joined together to win the peace ....
    23
  948. Starting yesterday, the whole tone of Western Media changed... The early easy runs are over; RU has enough in place that everywhere AFU goes is a fight now."
    23
  949. The West is finding out the hard way they underestimated a WHOLE LOTTA SHIT about Putin and Russia! 😂
    23
  950. "Russian city of Donetsk in far Western Russia" Get it right, DW.
    23
  951. Very same happening here in the United States. A lot of domestic violence these past few years; they say it spiked during the pandemic.
    23
  952. You must know about the same US history as most Americans know of Ukrainian history. The United States was built on an ocean of blood, and expanded Westward along rivers of blood. Blood is our middle name.
    23
  953.  @jdookie2908  I have 2011 Jag XJ SC. If you can smell coolant its leaking; it may be very slow but it is. The coolant could drip onto hot engine components and vaporize long before it can drip. Check that water pump first.
    23
  954. Shoigu flies around with two Ka-52s at his side like Darth Vader with his two TIE escorts on the hunt for some Rebels...
    23
  955. I guess Zelensky was talking about the Russians when he said take three cities by the end of 2023.
    23
  956. His first visit is to the 34 Mossad agents Turkey arrested a few days ago; to reassure them that he has their back.
    23
  957. He wasn't the target. He went to visit the men who destroyed the ship last week to give them awards and a Russian drone tracked him the whole way. Once he left, the Russian put an Iskander into the port facility. Yes, Russia used Zelensky to locate those responsible for the ship attack. Many helicopters were seen moving between Romania and Odessa after the hit; very likely many UK troops were hit in the strike. It is well known the UK runs the sea drone program for Ukraine. Putin always pays his debts.
    22
  958. RU produces 12% of world oil supply. It will be 2259 before Ukraine could interrupt their production enough to halt the T-80s currently overrunning them in Donbas...."
    22
  959. In part of his speech he says "...we had some agreements in Istanbul on these [war goals], but that agreement was thrown away..." Which confirms the report by Zelensky's aide that they had a settlement to end the war, but Boris Johnson (with US backing) stopped it. That is Ukraine and Russia saying exactly the same thing. Taken together that's gospel. The United Kingdom has, by direct action, the blood of probably a million people Ukrainian, and Russian on its hands.
    22
  960. Novorossiya safe forever and no NATO in Ukraine. Those are precisely what RU is fighting for and they have the land now so no reason to continue if Ukraine accepts the terms.
    22
  961. A month ago, there are US tanks, armored vehicles, Humvees clearly running around inside Russia trashing the place. Yet, Blinken today calls Iran sending Russia some rockets "an escalation"... smdh...."
    22
  962. Half of that $61B supplemental for Ukraine is money to pay their salaries and keep the country afloat. We will never in our lifetimes see that money again . The other half is for weapons and ammo and only Lockheed Martin / Northrop Grumman stockholders will see that money. The insane part is that no one is even arguing it will change anything in Ukraine, just make it a little harder for Russia to take all these cities they've been taking. Objectively it is a terrible idea...
    22
  963. LOL. "First positive news from Ukraine in a month!! Run it!!!" 😂 When it is re-taken tomorrow: crickets
    22
  964. Funny how you only remark about that now, when two days ago Netanyahu made a speech riddled with Biblical references to support his side.....
    22
  965. Joe Biden was quoted last week as saying "Kamala can't win" while resisting calls to step aside. I'm sure that makes her feel wonderful, just wonderful..."
    22
  966. Me too. On Russo-Ukraine vids, I can only typically get one word comments to remain after I post.
    22
  967. Ahhh, moving more sand around at $1M per missile. US just angry about the Houthis taking out their $30M Reaper....
    22
  968. Yep, just saw this on Weeb Union. I can't even count how many towns RU has kicked AFU out of this year....
    22
  969. No, only an EU economic issue. Russia has already made up for the 3% of Ukraine grain that went to Africa. Europe is feeling the pain.
    22
  970. Dont care if Zelensky stops or not, only care that our money stops....
    22
  971. A condition of their "donation" (not purchase) was that they not be used to attack Russia proper. Ukraine agreed to this. That policy suddenly changed so it is newsworthy. Stop whining....."
    22
  972. Volksturm. Go look at the video from the Fall of Avdeevka again focusing on the Russian soldiers. They move and speak with zero fear, so high is their morale. Their combat load alone weighs more than some of these women. Sending females with weeks of training to face battle hardened assault troops with years of experience is a crime against humanity
    22
  973. It seems like Macron made good on his promise to send (volunteers), not regular French Army to try and do rear-area work to free up AFU guys for the front. Doesn't make them any less of a target though. I can't believe a merc would take a job like that: go into a combat zone, do non-combat work like train and clear mines and build fortifications, and all the while you are a primary target #1. I'm not sure there's enough money in the world for me to volunteer for a job like that...
    22
  974. FPV drone is the only thing slowing Russian progress; without those AFU would have been overrun long ago. Same problem AFU had during its offensive; FPV drones are not very powerful, but they can break up attack formations, damage vehicles, cause troops to take cover farther from objectives, and generally make it a true PITA to fight effectively. Artillery is always deadlier, but FPV are much more accurate and timely threat....there's no lag between when you are spotted and then artillery starts to fall. I just don't think there will ever be a day when Russia breaks out "Heinz Guderian blitzkrieg style" and just runs out for 20 or 30 km in a day, flanking or encircling AFU units before they can even react. Two years ago I did expect something like that, given Russias overwhelming numerical superiority in everything, but by last Spring I could see that will never happen. This is how it will be until the end of the war----500m a day tops.
    22
  975. Those Kinzhal / Iskander drone vids at night are like science fiction. They look like turbolaser shots from an orbiting Star Destroyer
    22
  976. Yes, by showing that all those expensive NATO weapons are dog isht....
    22
  977. Yep. Still in Robotyne where they've been stuck for 30 days. Total casualties since June 4th now estimated to be EIGHTY THOUSAND. That is more men than in the peacetime standing army of many European countries. Epic failure; one for the history books
    22
  978. The title is incorrect, UK MoD told me almost a year ago that Russia has no more missiles. However they have several thousand hypersonic and supersonic washing machines. Not very aerodynamic as they are shaped like a box, but as fast as they move they pack a wallop when they hit. 😂
    22
  979. By the end of this war, there will be at least a dozen "Great Mysteries of the Russo-NATO War" on History Channel in the 2050s. Episodes will include: "Who blew up Nordstream?" , "Who blew up Kakhovka dam?" , "Where did half of the $300B for Ukraine go?" , and now "Who shot the Slovakian Prime Minister?"...
    22
  980. Under "Incel" definition is a photo of this guy....
    22
  981. I am certain Biden, Austin, Milley and Johnson are regretting not just negotiating this in September, 2021. Look at the global catastrophe that simply could have been avoided
    22
  982. Kornet thermobaric......""""
    22
  983. My favorite part in all this is Newsweek prints an article Monday about how the "crack 3rd Assault Brigade" is going to Avdiivka, and by Wednesday we hear how they almost immediately came under withering fire, saw it was a hopeless disaster, and after taking a few hundred casualties they bugged out. Think Newsweek will print an update on their efforts next Monday?? 😅😅😂
    22
  984. They chose their fate.
    22
  985. "...says US." Value of words = 0
    22
  986. Blinken and US military told Zelensky all this is reversible when the US weapons arrive AND Kyiv gets a few hundred thousand more soldiers. LOL
    22
  987. Napolensky admits the Poltava hit because the losses are too big to hide.... The very name of the building is "Military Academy" and he says "they hit a hospital! Waaaahhhh!!"
    22
  988. Why do they need more orders if Scholz has said "no" to sending them to Ukraine (for the 9th time)? Germany has all it ordered and therefore all it needs.
    22
  989. She counting on Trump going to prison before the election. Phone rings: "Nikki!! How fast can you get to the convention center?? We're going to nominate you!!!"
    22
  990. They are training for drone warfare in Russia. What's the problem? If they fight only in Kursk what's the problem?
    22
  991. I have 2017 Ti at 97,000 miles. Still beautiful, when I wash and wax it people think I have a 2021 or 2022. I have replaced AC compressor, and a coolant plug (plastic!!) failed. That's it. Leather dash has not lifted, seats still butter soft with no cracking (and I live in Texas). Use GOOD oil (Mobil 1 ESP/Pennzoil Euro LX/Castrol/Motul; every 5K miles. Replace the spark plugs every 60K (NGK Iridium only --- $12 each at a Dodge dealer). If you see crazy warning lights all of sudden, replace the battery first. That's it. Take care of it and it will take care of you.
    22
  992. Bakhmut, Marinka, Avdiivka, AFU makes being encircled and destroyed part of their strategy. Russia just took more territory in the last day than Ukraine did in all of their Summer Offensive.
    22
  993. OMG. "See how tough I am! I can take on Putin unlike all you other NATO cowards!" France is like the kid in a gang that sees another kid they all don't like, and shouts "let's get him!" and starts running at the rival kid. Soon he realizes none of his others are with him and he stops suddenly and begins talking trash... 🤣🤣
    22
  994. Who doesn't love it when they are proven right after 26 months?? 😂 Boris convinced Zelensky he could win where Napoleon and Hitler failed.....Boris should be a car salesman; he could sell ice to Eskimos.
    22
  995. Take it all, Russia. Take it for the family..."
    22
  996. Imagine what a Wagner convict will think when he sees female infanrty storming his trench? He'll aim for the legs, drag them back to keep for a few days....
    22
  997. Wow. I didn't know the "Estrema" trim came with the suspension setup from the Quad; I thought it was just a cosmetic trim only. My '17 Giulia is at 60K miles but I see no need to trade it out as its running like butter (and I don't want the crazy $80K Quad). May have to look again at the Giulia Estrema.
    22
  998. Kursk just farmland where less than 10K people lived , and AFU in a fire pocket that hasn't moved jn a month. Pokrovsk sector home to 250,000 and massive infrastructure, rail, mining, farming etc. Kursk just the mouse biting the cat's paw while the cat is disemboweling him..."
    22
  999. By September, we will see things we haven't for over 80 years"
    22
  1000. That M777 is now less accurate than a Civil War era gun. First the fact it isn't emplaced means that movement due to recoil causes the barrel to wobble changing the angle; that shell may land somewhere within a mile wide circle of its aim point. Also, the barrel lining needed replacement months ago and no facility in Ukraine can do it; they had to be sent to Poland. However, Poland shut the door almost two months ago so that M777 is almost worthless at this point.
    22
  1001. US is a Democracy; we are allowed to disagree and a lot of us disagree on the wisdom of trying to fight Russia. Ukraine has gotten $250B so far in two years and is being crushed on all fronts. How much would it cost to "win" (if that is even possible)?
    22
  1002. Funny, NBC didn't show the video from Donetsk yesterday----that was brutal....
    22
  1003. When Ukraine actually reaches and defeats an actual defense line and holds it for a day, let me know.
    22
  1004. Poland is like "you guys are crazy if you think we will make ourselves weaker to save you"
    22
  1005. Everyone knows they'll just ignore it. "Rules based order" only when its convenient
    22
  1006. Russia has had Novomykhailivka 75% surrounded for about two weeks now. They don't even bother to try to cut the last road in because as long as AFU sends men in, RU happy for them to come as they'll never leave. When Ukraine finally stops trying to save the town, RU will take the rest and move to the next town. That is how absurd this has become; Ukrainian men are now walking across the river at shallow spots to escape to Romania.
    22
  1007. Every device in my house with any kind of antenna I am now eyeing suspiciously....
    22
  1008. Only history nerds notice that the two NATO countries least thrilled with the idea of attacking Russia are the ones that were the German allies in WW2? Both Italy and Hungary sent huge armies into Russia in support of their Wehrmacht allies in WW2. To call it a disaster is an understatement: Both the Italian 8th Army and the Hungarian 2nd Army were decimated so badly by Russia, their defeat so complete, that their governments toppled afterwards. In the NATO "gang"; Italy and Hungary are going to be the kids that stand back while the others rush in to attack....because they know what their opponent is really like.
    21
  1009. Those Russian FPV drones are almost like "not playing fair". A little quad-copter toy with a shaped-charge bomb that cost all of $400 and vids all over of them simply dive bombing Bradley, after Bradley, after Bradley. Bradley's cost $5M each, so I just watched $1200 worth of Russian weapons turn $15M of my tax dollars into scrap metal.
    21
  1010. I read that the T-80BV is the tank spearheading near Konstantinovka. As a kid I used to read all the Tom Clancy spy novels and at that time the T-80 was the newest and most feared Russian tank. Before the Wall fell, the amount of information that came out of the USSR was so small, no one who wasn't alive then could understand it with all the information we have from Russia today. The T-80 was almost mythical to my 10 year old mind because I had to use mostly my imagination as there were no clear photos of it published in any Western magazine." Seeing it being used today is like hearing about an old friend..."
    21
  1011. Western media telling us for six months that "Stalingrad" has "no strategic significance". LMAO.
    21
  1012. I am saddened by all the lives lost for nothing the past two years, and angered because I know those most responsible like Vicky Nuland will never suffer any consequence.
    21
  1013. Just look at what's in the aid and it answers all questions. No tanks, no bridging equipment, no SPGs, no offensive firepower at all. Just tons of 155mm shells, anti-tank/anti-air missiles, lots of IFVs, and the only "big stick" is the ATACMS but that's nothing new, just longer range. It is a package for an infantry-heavy army to DEFEND; that's it.
    21
  1014. Precisely why I bought an Audi S4 instead of a Challenger SRT. Nobody cares about an Audi....but any Dodge V8 is a complete and total hood-magnet.
    21
  1015. Apparently Haiti signed a deal with Kenya for that country to send policing troops to keep order. I like the fact African nations are stepping up to help, but when it comes to local gangsters, it is always best for them to be dealt with locally. THEN the foreign policing can keep the peace; however to get the peace in the first place the citizens should do that themselves. We have millions of cheap guns; give some ARs to the local citizenry and they'll deal with the gangsters on their own.
    21
  1016. Kyiv mayor spoke earlier: "...it was a ballistic missile, and the air raid alert started only when the first explosions began..." Only one other country can attack without anyone realizing it until the bombs hit-----the United States using stealth bombers. Hmmm, seems Russia is using something we may not have seen before?
    21
  1017. 140 million people just said EPHH YOU! to the US and UK and their "rules based order" ( their rules only).
    21
  1018. Blinken said yesterday that the case was "meritless" (without ever even hearing the testimony). That sounds like a lot of "merit" to me...
    21
  1019. In a toilet room? Dam that's nasty....
    21
  1020. I do not have any negative feeling to Ukrainian people. I feel sad so many are dying to achieve NATO goals. I hope Russia crushes this offensive decisively as thats the only way US and UK will come to the table.
    21
  1021. He is in full control, this is his Victory Lap
    21
  1022. I own a 3700 sq. ft. house, 4B/3BA, with three-car garage, and a pool and my total mortgage payment, PITI, is $3200 a month. 2.5%, 30 year fixed. 720 credit. Watching these videos blows my brain right outta my skull; I've made bonehead financial moves in my life, but compared to your customers I am Warren Buffet.
    21
  1023. News in India already reporting that Ukraine says S-300 missiles have hit Kharkiv tonight. That didn't take long...
    21
  1024. Russians now on the offensive all along the front, I believe this is the start of the "steamroller" phase. Just like in 1943; withstand the enemy attack with layers of defense, bleed them, slow them, delay them while the factories in Siberia run day and night. Then, when the enemy attack weakens and stalls, go on the offensive and the steamroller doesn't stop until Berlin.
    21
  1025. It seems the Indian "recruiters" were the most likely to blame. The Russians need truck drivers or the like, and would rather farm that out. Of course if you will be doing anything remotely military you need to know how to use a weapon. Once he said he wanted out, he was let go no problems. I'd look at the recruiters first....
    21
  1026. When you zoom out the map, the Kharkiv "salient" is so small compared to the rest of the front, it looks like the coloring of a child who can't stay inside the lines. Yet, Ukraine's most powerful force is near that salient; confirming that Russia's goal of using this operation to simply draw thousands of AFU away from the important places was a masterstroke of tactical operations. Zelensky cannot allow Kharkiv to fall; but from a strictly military standpoint it is nowhere near as important as Kupiansk, Pokrovsk or Kramatorsk. The war is already over (was over a year ago); but AFU simply has zero ability to stop RU from taking those three if they keep their biggest force near Kharkiv (which they must). Yesterday, Zelensky rejected Lavrov's "take it or leave it" offer; when those three cities fall, he will probably be calling Lavrov directly to ask if the "take it or leave it" offer from July is still available...."
    21
  1027. ".... conscious at the sensitivities of this platform...I am not going to quote the [UN Secretary General's] exact words...." That is one of the most "Brave New World" sentences I've ever read.
    21
  1028. All that matters is that Russia knows for sure Ukraine was involved; and is only looking further to see if US/UK was directly involved, or just unwittingly facilitated (with money) the terrorist attack. Once they have everyone, everywhere involved....the Bear will go salmon fishing...
    21
  1029. YouTube won't let me gloat; almost anything I say other than "Yay Russia!" they immediately delete. So, Yay Russia!....
    21
  1030. Ask your wife why its so important for her country to be in NATO?
    21
  1031. Yes, you are the only one...
    21
  1032. Beirut, Lebanon....I think I was 7 or 8 in October, 1983 when that city burst into my consciousness as a suicide bomber attacked a US barracks there and killed 241 American military members. Over 40 years later, same city same kind of activity..... Hard to imagine US had a barracks there....
    21
  1033. I am American with two sons under age 21; I only care that Biden won't try to sacrifice them for Zelensky. Slava Rossiya!!
    21
  1034. No, we aren't sending our children to war for you. You had a deal in 2022 that you signed; you can sign one again."
    21
  1035. Ukraine is Imperial Japan in 1945.....
    21
  1036. You can tell he has lost weight. Totally disagree with his policy but have no malice toward the man. Glad he is back up and running.
    21
  1037. Most women under age 35 don't "date" anyway; 90% of ads on dating apps the younger women ask for a "donation" when you contact them. This generation of women sells it mostly; and that won't end as they have to pay their bills.
    21
  1038. Russia is like: "we drop Ukrainian buildings every day, what's the big deal?"
    21
  1039. British Intelligence has estimates of Russian dead but no idea of Ukraine dead? LOL.
    21
  1040. Mostly ghost towns of five or six buildings; I've yet to see a single solitary human smiling at being "liberated". Russia is simply resisting until Ukraine commits a sufficient force to dislodge them, then they retreat and call in drones, artillery, helicopters on Ukraine which murders them and weakens their new position. Then the Russians counter-attack and take it all back and the next day Ukraine tries again in the same spot.

  1041. Just saw the video tearing up the Telegram channels today of not one, but two Patriot command systems on a road near Pakrovsk that were in a convoy moving at night and hit by an Iskander. The detonation was spectacular, obliterating two Patriot command systems (with entire crew). That is about TWO BILLION dollars gone in an instant. Marco may need to re-think his words because even the United States is not wealthy enough to continue losing $2B a day in Ukraine.
    21
  1042. Russia made it clear any such UK formations in Ukraine would be given an Iskander welcome. Sunak, knowing the state of UK armed forces, wisely demurred. RAF has 130 fighters and no bombers; RU has 700 Su-27,30,34 and Mig 29,31. 😂
    21
  1043. I'm surprised YT allowed you to post this. Almost any comment that is too detailed in its description about how badly Ukraine is being beaten gets deleted.
    21
  1044. It fired 2 of the 10 shells they have as the depot was destroyed by Iskander months ago.
    21
  1045. Taycan's have depreciation rates that can only be described as "Apocalyptic". You could use $100 bills as kindling for an entire summer of BBQs and still come nowhere near losing as much money as if you bought a Taycan.
    21
  1046. These small cheap drones ARE changing the battlefield calculus, but it remains to be seen if that change is permanent. I'm not sold on cheap drones making armored vehicles the "battleships" of the modern era---vulnerable to the point of irrelevance---yet. First, these drones are tough to deal with precisely because they are the size of a bird----but that means they can't go far or carry much. They mostly annoy tanks and heavier armored vehicles, but if they penetrate thinner-skinned vehicles they can destroy them. One thing I feel this war has taught everyone is that air-defense now must come standard on almost every vehicle. You cannot rely on sending a few AA vehicles along with a force as the drone swarm will just overwhelm them and then everyone else is defenseless. Future vehicles will ALL need to have an AA system standard---every tank, APC, IFV, armored car, etc. will have to mount a system that can destroy drones. Maybe some larger radar at a safe distance can be networked to all vehicles so they can share the "view" and shoot down the drones, as it would not be feasible to put a radar on every vehicle (which would just make them more "visible" in the EW spectrum). Tough problem, but weapon designers will counter it.
    21
  1047. Morality is relative. What is objective is that sending more money is throwing good money after bad; Ukraine is a failed investment. Best cut losses.
    21
  1048. LOL. That Kinzhal that put Budanov into a coma pretty much landed right next to him!! 🤣
    21
  1049. Russia has more of everything. More planes, more bombs, more rockets, more shells, more guns, more tanks, more drones, more men. They would be fools to wait any longer.
    21
  1050. Scott Ritter called this a YEAR ago. He flat out said Ukraine was using up more than NATO could make. It would take years to reach that production level, and once they ran out Ukraine would be overrun as they couldn't shoot back. Very simple.
    21
  1051. Every time I go to bed and see "Ukraine makes gains!" article in any sector, by lunchtime the next day I see an article "Russians recapture area taken by Ukraine a day ago." No wonder the front line map from April, 2022 looks identical to the one from today-----Ukraine has been treading water for over a year now.
    21
  1052. You cannot possibly be telling the truth. A soldier would NEVER hire others to fight his enemy for him; he would have the honor to face his enemy himself.
    21
  1053. Germany and UK have not enough tanks left to defend a soccer stadium. US has no shells left so they make war ciminals of themselves and send old banned cluster shells. Russia is actually "demilitarizing" NATO 😂
    21
  1054. German parliament today said "NO" (again) to Taurus long range cruise missiles to Ukraine. Why? Because for every one fired, Russia would send back 10 Kinzhals, Iskanders, Oniks, and Zircons. Look at Kyiv and then look at Gaza. Russia has been "soft" for two years; do not make them go "hard"...

  1056. Sen. Lindsey Graham said there are "trillions" of dollars of critical minerals in Ukraine, plus all the farming leases EU bought up and of course the LNG storage for all of EU. When you are aware of all that, 40B Euros a year to protect all that seems cheap... RU just gonna have to take the whole place.

  1058. Teenage Brit was one of them…
    21
  1059. Just what Obama said in 2015: Russia has "escalation superiority". No matter what is given to Ukraine, Russia can leap frog that capability. The only thing US has that Russia doesn't is an aircraft carrier; but even if we gave Zelensky a carrier, RU would destroy it in port

  1064. I had to go look up what you call "game enders". I admit I was expecting 40 year old ex Soviet junk but was amazed to discover NK has two of the highest performance (on paper) MLRS systems in the world. They can use either Chinese satnav or GPS and they are the biggest by diameter in the world. Their range is incredible for a tactical rocket system putting them far out of range of artillery. No hyperbole....if they provide 100 of these and unlimited ammo, they actually could be "game enders".
    20
  1065. Wait, he accepted the US' proposal?? I thought it was US accepting his proposal?
    20
  1066. Russia has to respond or NATO will just do it again even more next time. This is like two mafias fighting over territory; each escalation must be responded to or each sides' own people will think the boss is weak....."
    20
  1067. It is bad; I never watch the unedited battle footage on Telegram because it immediately makes me sick. However just the description from the bloggers who edit this stuff so it can be viewed on YT is enough for me. Central Avdiivka is not even "Avdiivka" right now, it is the "graveyard of the Ukrainian Army."

  1076. This means IDF is no longer ripping off the "USE WITH CAUTION" sticker on US smart bombs...
    20
  1077. Russians are doing exact same thing, but they use drones manufactured by their MIC. The Lancet, now in its 3rd generation is the killer of $10M Leopard 2 tanks. It costs $25K. Ukraine bought up to 70,000 cheap toy drones on the market all last Fall and Spring. They strap little grenades and bombs to them like you see here and yes they have been effective, but due to their cheap origins they don't go very far, can't carry very much, and are easily jammed. There are many vids of these things flying at and hitting Russian BMPs and T-80s and the vehicle just shrugs off the blast and keeps right on going. Ukraine has to use these because the bigger, expensive ones given to them by Biden, like the Switchblade, are dependent upon GPS, easily jammed by Russia and have proven to be almost worthless.
    20
  1078.  @neolerades2987  You not familiar with modern Euro engines?? Plastic everywhere, and you have to remove half the accessories to get to the part that cracked. The parts were only $800 (yes a few other pipes not just the cracked one); everything else was labor. 😂
    20
  1079. Many are waiting to be liberated. There were about 1000 people in Avdiivka (!!) when it fell, and RU evacuated them as soon as they came in contact with them. Not everyone everywhere agrees with everything 100%.
    20
  1080. Part of me wants to see NATO roll the dice, just so the Russians can hand them their ass and shut guys like you up. HOWEVER, that means we all die and I like living, even if I have to endure endless prattling by nafo bots...
    20
  1081. Interesting. That sounds EXACTLY like what Zelensky said about Ukraine and Russia a few weeks ago at the U.N. in response to Lavrov's last offer for talks. No peace in our time....only war.
    20
  1082. They had their chance. A $20B army trained and equipped by NATO and they threw it away in Zaporizhzhia running into a wall of prepared defenses. Dumb.
    20
  1083. What about the Ukrainian shell that hit a bus in Donetsk yesterday, killing 7 innocent civilians? News or Propaganda, Sky? Which is it?
    20
  1084. How soon after the results does the Civil War begin? Must make sure I'm dressed for the occasion...
    20
  1085. "Sends" is probably the wrong word. Biden Admin. has issued a request for vendors to bid on the contract work to repair/upkeep the US equipment that Ukraine has that they cannot support themselves. Supposedly they'll be in far West Ukraine only , but the contract specifies that the vendor companies have to provide "security" for their workers. I bet the pay rate is astronomical, but after what happened in Poltava, I'd probably sleep in a bunker buried at least 50 ft deep the entire time I was there...
    20
  1086. I think Napolensky could see all this coming months ago. The US elections, Germany angry about Nordstream2, France in political upheaval, all his biggest suppliers clearly nearing the limit. I think that's why he gambled on Kursk and whatever other desperate things they are going to do; they have to get some land or put some pain on Russia NOW to get some better terms because if this goes another year they'll run out and no one will be willing to supply them anymore.
    20
  1087. Zaluzhny, Budanov, who knows who was in this facility. Smart. Don't kill Zelensky as he is not "military"; kill everyone around him who is.
    20
  1088. 12 years ago 380 there was little more than a country road. Now, it is Hell on the Earth.
    20
  1089. Just take five minutes and imagine Ukraine has just encircled and destroyed a Russian army holding a city sized for 30,000 in such fashion. No organized retreat, a Rout. With troops captured, surrendering, fleeing in disorder, etc. Just imagine the deafening headlines across the Western world in this alternate reality, then witness the deafening silence going on at this very moment in this reality.
    20
  1090. Jake: "We can't stop Russia in Ukraine without going to war with them and we don't want to do that. You have to stop helping them!" Yi: "Why should we stop helping them? If you subdue them, you'll come after us next and then who will be around to help us vs. you??"

  1091. Iran never attacked Israel. God is with Iran

  1092. I can't really fault this too much, though breaking out Toyota/Lexus and Honda/Acura is silly---they are the same. Also this is of limited value since any mass produced vehicle is reliable in its first few years; it is after year five when the wheat starts to separate from the chaff. To me "reliability" means mechanical only; who cares if the stupid touchscreen acts up or a camera dies or you have to reboot the infotainment system? Annoying yes, but will it strand you? No. If you want the engine and transmission to last forever, your list is: Japan, United States, Germany, Korea, tie between Italy and UK.
    20
  1093. How would she know? She knows zilch about military or geopolitical affairs...."
    20
  1094. "What it needed" was about 500,000 more soldiers, 3000 more tanks, 5000 more artillery pieces, and an entire Air Force of at least 500 fighters and 300 attack aircraft. Yet, you blame NATO for not providing all this free of charge.
    20
  1095. I do not believe these "security agreements" obligate troops from whichever country to come in to save a region. For defense weapons, ammo yes but troops no. Scholz would never commit to something like that. Poland would love to but with no Article 5 to cover them theyd be alone vs. the Bear and their whiole country in easy missile range.
    20
  1096. LOL. As if that little trench and some assault rifles bought on Ebay will save them. Hey Estonia, just do the opposite of what US/UK tells you and you'll be fine.

    20
  1099. Poland has meddled from day one. They have earned what is coming to them.
    20
  1100. "Experts are saying the capture of the city in the Donetsk region in eastern Ukraine is not a significant operation victory for Moscow." Unbelievable. Even now, after TWO years of this they STILL cope like this??? Tbh this is part of the reason NATO is losing; they convince themselves these losses are nothing so they react in the same way----nothing.
    20
  1101. Zelensky has fired his entire cabinet ( or they quit). In interview yesterday he looked like he hadn't slept in weeks and he sounds irrational. He now looks older than Putin. Biden needs to step in and tell Zelensky it's over...."

  1102. "Falling debris" is apparently the most powerful non-nuclear weapon in the world...
    20
  1103. I give him credit for positive thinking. He is feeling confident because Joe is rushing in the Abrams next month. The Abrams is "mighty" only in the minds of Americans. It has NEVER once been tested in battle with a near-peer opponent; it has only fought ancient Iraqi tanks and militia with rpgs and IEDs. It has never faced T-80s, T-90s, Kornet atgms, attack helicopters, drones, 152mm laser-guided artillery.
    20
  1104. Ukraine trying to protect what minerals it has left, that is now more valuable to them than the territory in Kursk.
    20
  1105.  @Tential1  Actually most could not be driving Ferraris. That is median, meaning half DO NOT make that much. First you have income taxes, which erases at least 25% of that number. Then housing costs; two doctors in Oklahoma may not even reach $440K income, where one doctor in California would easily earn that; very localized. On the coasts housing is astronomical; a 3000 s.f. house in Houston maybe $500K, such a house in California or New York is $2M. There's $8K to $10K per month for the mortgage. Right there you just cut their income left for a car in half. Kids? Remove about $25K each per year. A nice, comfy life for sure, and one they worked hard to obtain, but Ferraris?? No. The Ferrari class makes $440K a year look like welfare...
    20
  1106. I mean it looks just like an F-35. BAE avionics and GE engines means performance should be quite good. However at $100M per, it isn't a huge value vs. an F-35 at $115M. When the price is that close, the overall performance better be as well and I am not convinced a Turkish/Brit mash-up would be anywhere near the overall level of Lockheed Martin's best. If the KAAN were $75M then yeah, no problem. That said; credit to Turkey. One thing the past decade has taught the world, there is no greater return on your own currency than to invest it in designing and building your OWN weapons, in your OWN country, using your OWN resources as much as possible.
    20
  1107. I did the "R-37 vs. Storm Shadow" math yesterday after you introduced us to this weapon. I thought "no wonder CNN has no Storm Shadow attack in over a month!"---Su-24 can't get close enough to launch without being killed. I had wondered a week ago why not even a single report of Storm Shadow. Mystery solved! However I didn't think of what that means for FAB-500/1500 like you. That is a great point: if Ukraine cannot stop a Su-34 from flying over Ukraine to that yellow line or close to it, say to Cherasky, a FAB-1500 with up to 80 km range could fall all over the Kyiv suburbs and Ukraine could not stop it at all. When 3000 lb. bombs are falling on Kyiv like they are on Gaza, that's the end of the SMO.

  1111.  @pavlinpetkov8984  you say that like its a bad thing. RU don't have "moms" with beards and other modern "advances"....🤣

  1112. The reason the war is a struggle for NATO and Ukraine is because they are not on the side of right in this. The arc of history bends towards justice, and there is nothing "just" about US involvement in this war. NATO is a military alliance and like any such organization it exists to destroy its enemies; everything it does is in furtherance of this goal. Convincing Zelensky to accept weapons and do the fighting on NATO's behalf was in the interest of providing a future willing partner in moving US Aegis Ashore missiles, currently in Poland and Romania, closer to Moscow, as well as allowing the US Navy to create a "Black Sea Fleet" based in Crimea. Go look it all up; as late as 2019 US Navy was publicly issuing contracts to expand and refurbish old Soviet-era naval bases in Crimea. With land based missiles and a fleet of warships, both using the Aegis Combat System, and all mere kilometers from Russia's border, Russia would be the United States' slave in all but name. That is why she fights as if her life depends upon it because it DOES. In Zelensky, the US found a willing partner in a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to put a noose around Russia's neck and loosen or tighten the knot whenever it pleased.
    19
  1113. My son is going to Big U. in August. The amount of safety training I've been giving him was not even thinkable in the worst neighborhood in 1993 when I was his age. Don't go here, don't go there. Don't honk if someone cuts you off. Don't go to any off-campus party. Always sit near an exit. When I went to college the only "safety" message my father gave me was "use a rubber every time". The United States isn't going down; it already hit rock bottom, went through, and is now subterranean.
    19
  1114. ??? There are like five or six videos the past three days showing unequivocally that the missile was a Ukrainian air defense interceptor??

  1115. As soon as that ICJ case went against Israel I said "SA better arm up" and YT deleted it

  1116. I love all European cars for the driving dynamics; I only buy American or Japanese for trucks/SUV. Jag, BMW, Benz, Audi, Alfa doesn't matter a lot to me as they all have that Formula One dynamic excellence you only can get from European cars. Of the Germans, Audi has always been the design leader, BMW the sport leader, Benz the luxe leader. That is still true. Audi doesn't not currently make an ugly car; the Benz EQ stuff and the BMW pig snout?? 😅
    19
  1117. "About half of all agricultural land in Ukraine belongs to three large American companies Cargill, Dupont and Monsanto." I never knew this until a week ago. It partially explains why US Democrats are so willing to risk very unpopular immigration sentiment to send more aid to Ukraine. They are protecting their wealthy donors' investments
    19
  1118. Yes it failed, and yes it was a failure of Russian intelligence as they did not realize the degree to which Ukraine had been armed with NATO missiles. The initial attack had far too few infantry not because they forgot to send them, but because they didn't believe they were needed. Just drive a bunch of tanks to Kyiv, take the airport, arrest Zelensky, and the "special military operation" is over. However, they realized they were not going to achieve this due to significant NATO defensive weapons, pulled back across the river where their supply lines were secure, called up the reservists, and then proceeded to go to plan "B": War the Russian Way. Massive artillery turns everything in front of them into rubble, they then advance and take all the ground, lather rinse repeat. Slow, methodical, inexorable just like when they rolled back the Germans in 1944-45. Casualties don't matter because if you are killing them, they are killing you too. Victory.
    19
  1119. LOL, what military school did you drop out from?
    19
  1120. Wow, Google deleted two of my comments agreeing with MTG.
    19
  1121. You got a $60B NATO-trained and equipped army in 2023 and Zelensky split it up (against US advice) and sent half to Bakhmut and the other half to Zaporizhzhia , were the Russians destroyed them both with ease. Take it up with your Regent, or Viceroy, or whatever designation Zelensky carries these days...
    19
  1122. RU just allowing them to move deeper into the trap. Kharkiv about to fall in a week.
    19
  1123. Where has Ukraine "broken through"? Drone footage of trenches being crossed by AFU? Please share we'd love to see it.
    19
  1124. Saw some video on BBC of Ukrainians in a bomb shelter. All looked well-fed, well dressed, pets all robust and healthy, nice clothes, nice shoes, ladies looking sharp with their jewelry.... Oh, and last week Biden sent another $3.9B of my tax money to them to pay their salaries and fatten their pension balances . My daughter got into Baylor but couldn't go because its $80K a year and no help from my government but some "subsidized" loans.....but $3.9B of the taxes I pay go to Ukrainians......" Is Biden my President or theirs???"
    19
  1125. Ukraine wastes their few remaining missiles and ammo for this while at this very moment they are retreating from Robotyne, meaning EVERYTHING they sacrificed the $20B NATO army to gain last summer is now back in Russian hands. The intransigence of Ukraine under Zelensky reminds me of that of Imperial Japan in 1945; even after two A-bombs, the Military wanted to fight on. It was only when the Emperor stepped in and said "no, we will surrender" that the war ended. Unfortunately for Ukraines' people, there is no Emperor to overrule Zelensky and his Nationalists....
    19
  1126. Love the inclusion about "...as schools open..." ; when no West Media ever cared about when a Russian school were open. Telegraph can go straight to hell..."""
    19
  1127. That story is like something out of a "Friday the 13th" movie. The guy was an ultra-predator and SOMEHOW some woman married him and moved him in with her kids (by other men). Of course, now everyone is dead...
    19
  1128. Four months and they've "liberated" 0.08% of the contested territory. Losses somewhere between 50,000 and 70,000. Even Bismarck and Hindenburg would be shaking their heads in disgust
    19
  1129. They shouldn't even bother displaying that French junk....
    19
  1130. Is it a Ukrainian "win"? They are only about 10K troops vs. 90K to their north, 40K in front of them, and another 50K to their south. They have no air cover. I mean , sure they ran in there for a bit, but they won't be there a month from now. So, what is the point?
    19
  1131. This is probably only the second time in history this guy has said something good about an American car...
    19
  1132. The bridges are a problem, but hardly a critical one, imho. RU can't bring up heavy tanks but they don't need them, as AFU don't have that many anyway. This Kursk incursion force is extremely APC/IFV/Armored Car heavy; it was optimized for mobility, sacrificing armor for speed. Notice how few Bradley's we've seen over the past week, in favor of wheeled Strykers/Maxxpros/Mastiffs/Senators ?? That works in the opening days when you had surprise on your side, but the reason AFU hasn't gone much of anywhere in a week despite hundreds of attack attempts is they don't have the firepower advantage vs. units that are prepared and expecting them. No more border guards, AFU now facing Spetsnaz, Akhmat, Marines, VDV paratroopers and Storm-Z units all around them in Kursk salient. Tough, experienced guys who are the perfect counter to light, mobile forces."
    19
  1133. Biden just handed Trump the election...
    19
  1134. I hope the T-90M survives, it has been my favorite tank for the last few years. I think of the role of tanks now as kind of like a battleship; its role is to absorb most of the enemy fire while dishing out the pain. However the battle is actually won by the cruisers and destroyers around the battleship who don't get shot at very much while the battleship is there. They deliver crushing blows with torpedoes that actually put more hurt on the enemy than the battleship did. Maybe that is the future for the tank? Take the blows during the assault, while the battle is actually won by other vehicles or weapons?
    19
  1135. JDAMS, HIMARS, Storm Shadow, ATACMS, Hammer, SCALP, none can argue anymore "it's our old stuff". Its 2024 not 2022 and NATO and Russia have taken the gloves off.
    19
  1136. When I was a teen, 80% of the kids on my block and in our neighborhood had their married, mother and father in that house with them every single night. When we went to the Mall in 1983, there'd be 2,000 teenagers in there and while there may have been a few fights, even the Mall Cops only carried a radio, no guns. Guns in teenager hands used among each other was something out of a dystopian Sci Fi movie.
    19
  1137. Perfect example of "asymmetric warfare". The little guy only needs to get through once, while the big guy has to stop dozens of cheap attacks. US just learned the same lesson a few days ago...
    19
  1138. Budanov is an intelligence officer, putting him in charge of the army would be like putting the CIA director in charge of the army
    19
  1139. HIMARS is a launcher, ATACMS is a missile not a "launcher". Go back to school...
    19
  1140. I would like to know how two peoples who are basically cousins for the past 1500 years, can somehow be turned into bitter enemies fighting to the death just over the past 15 years. 20 years ago if you asked a Russian and Ukrainian if the other were their "enemy" and each would have looked at you strangely. Whatever force is capable of that I'd like to understand, as the Russians and Ukrainians have far less historic reason to hate each other than the English and Scottish do.
    19
  1141. A 1997 Integra Type R had an msrp of about $25K, which is about $50K in 2025 dollars----so $54K is really not as crazy as it seems. It's just that for some reason $54K feels like an unreasonable amount for this because that same money gets you a 330i w/M-Sport, CLA 35 AMG, S3, etc. all of which have vastly superior hardware, interior quality, features, etc.
    19
  1142. Well this turned out to be the shortest "offensive" in military history...

  1143. They are shooting them all down with Pantsir and S-300.
    19
  1144. I thought the Russian Steamroller would start next Spring. They must have some way of fighting in snow and mud as I can't believe they'll just stop when the rains start soon.
    19
  1145. Uber will be sued for $100M by this lady's family and they should pay every penny to them. Madness!
    19
  1146. Hate crime is when you kill someone SOLELY because they are (insert who you hate here). A robber killing a person who is trying to stop a robbery is by definition NOT a hate crime.
    19
  1147. West Media wont allow those of us against this war to gloat, even a little bit. I saw this clip yesterday and commented "the flash as the wings open while the bombs fall looks cool" and YT deleted it. 😂
    19
  1148. Two weeks ago the country voted for de-escalation right? Did I imagine that?
    19
  1149. IDF fighting like their existence is at stake. No rules.
    19
  1150. So Zelensky is about to become another Saddam
    19
  1151. This makes the "Love Boat" from the 1970s show look like a pleasure yacht. I'm really not joking either; the "Love Boat" ship was 20,000 tons displacement; this leviathan is over 248,000 tons displacement!
    19
  1152. What a disastrous situation for those people. In just four months they have gone from living in 2024 to living in 1524, (yes their own military is mostly responsible), however their situation has never been stable since 1945 as they don't control their own territory. Even the average Haitian is better off because they at least control their own destiny...
    19
  1153. It has to be Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman behind all this. No person can fail to see that sending all these weapons just makes wars more likely. Why can't these people just BUY what they need??? My dad always said if you can't afford it yourself, you weren't meant to have it.
    19
  1154. She was running some kind of operation to gather money for Ukraine; probably nothing more sophisticated than GoFundme. However she is Russian, in Russia, and knows their laws as that is her homeland. She chose her fate...
    19
  1155. I'm speechless. This is basically a 2 hour expansion into the "Pure Ignorance" region of my mind. It will take me months or even years to absorb it fully. Though some of it turned my stomach, I appreciate you not hiding the bad (and adding context). The story of Sunni Ali reminded me of an absolutely horrific tale about the "Peg Boys of India" during the 17th and 18th century. It roiled my stomach to the core but we can't hide from Truth no matter how repulsive. Your work on these episodes is magnificent.
    19
  1156. Because the "charge" was purely political...?
    18
  1157. EU just told Zelensky "no more aid to give" and that Ukraine must "rely on domestic arms". Translation: "we gave you $200B and you barely got five miles into Russian territory with it. That means to win, you'd need $800B or more and our return on $1T is not worth that. You are now a bad investment and we are done"
    18
  1158. Lol, this is because RN warships have no land attack weaponry 😂😂😂
    18
  1159. This NATO Admiral talking about Melitopol as a "heavy lift" is the understatement of the year. Depending on whose estimates you believe, Ukraine has taken 40,000 to 70,000 casualties since June 4th all along the front; they've been stuck in Robotyne for over a month now and ZERO progress the past two weeks. All that for FIVE miles; extrapolate that performance to FIFTY miles and Ukraine would take Melitopol sometime in 2063 at a cost of 1.5 million casualties.
    18
  1160. Avdiivka is a trip to Disney World compared to Stalingrad. I give you credit for at least KNOWING about Stalingrad, but you need to study a lot more...
    18
  1161. Leaving the sinking ship "USS Ukraine"....
    18
  1162. I have never liked EVs, but even when this first came out it was one of the few I though "well if I HAD to I could be happy with that one". Even a few years on this thing looks so much better to my eyes than a Model 3 I really cannot understand how anyone could choose the Tesla over this. This looks muscular and aggressive vs. the soft organic femininity of the Model 3, with paint and interior quality miles better than any Tesla I've ever seen. Is it really just the range and the Supercharging why people buy a Model 3 over this? Other than that I don't see it at all.
    18
  1163. Whatever it really is, it will be a far cry better for the Malians and Nigeriens than the slavery they had under the West.
    18
  1164. The video of shown in Western Media yesterday of the "lberators" of an empty hamlet, one of the guys did a Far Right symbol for the camera, which CNN didn't show!
    18
  1165. US always vetoes it. Then does things like send Israel $20B in military aid, but also in the same bill earmarks $9B for "humanitarian aid" for Gazans. That is typical of our bi-partisan government; one side gets their stuff in, the other side gets their stuff in, then all vote and it passes. The result is sometimes absurdly nonsensical like putting people into the hospital but then paying the bill.
    18
  1166. Yep. They'll build a new one sometime around March, 2025.
    18
  1167. He has a point. The AFU of today is but a shadow of what they had two years ago.
    18
  1168. Everything NATO tries fails and this is just the latest escalation, it will fail, and a year from now Stoltenberg will be screaming "use the nukes!"
    18
  1169. AFU has never been more vulnerable that it is now. Even during the overwhelming initial assault, they were physically back on their heels, but psychologically they were at full strength. Now, they are as weak mentally as I've ever seen them. The loss of Avdiivka will be a blow, but not a crushing one. Russia needs to deliver a knockout punch NOW; never let an opponent recover even a shred when you have them on the ropes. In 1990, Mike Tyson was the most powerful boxer on earth. He knocked Buster Douglas down in the 8th round, but failed to fully demolish his foe. What happened next is for the history books, as Douglas came back from the verge of defeat to shock the world.
    18
  1170. including tactical chemical weapons and nukes?
    18
  1171. This is Prigozhin vs. the "elites" and this was going to happen no matter what (I guessed after the war was over though). Just last week Putin sided with Shoigu that Wagner must come under Army control (the right decision). Putin chose the "elites" and this is what has set Prigozhin off. Putin is no fool; he knows that once the war is over he cannot have an independent force of 30K to 40K battle-hardened shock troops just sitting around with nothing to do and not under Army jurisdiction. He made a choice, and in doing so gave Prigozhin one: fold your army into the military or be destroyed. Prigozhin just chose....and my guess is Putin already had a "cleanup crew" and plan in place for exactly this situation should it be necessary.
    18
  1172. Literally everything Russia has done that NATO complained about, Ukraine now has done too.
    18
  1173. What the heck is going on in California?? All these people just wiping each other out over a few bucks. Dam!
    18
  1174. Like it matters. "Two more towns fell today and the pincers are forming around Novomykhailivka as we speak..."
    18
  1175. Forcing Democracy on others is no different than forcing Socialism or Communism or Fascism on us. All who live have the inherent right to live as THEY wish, not as OTHERS wish them to. It wouldn't be so "complicated" if Americans accepted that. Nowhere in our Constitution does it say the US must bend the world to its will by force; WW2 put us in the position to accomplish this purely by chance and we've never been able to break the habit. As they say: Absolute power corrupts absolutely.
    18
  1176. How does it feel CNN? To be served a heaping plate of crow???
    18
  1177. Zelensky act like he's the first nation in human history that had to give up territory. France lost a war and gave up Alsace-Lorraine and didn't get it back for 45 years. Everyone has to take the "L" sometimes and not cry and whine about it...
    18
  1178. I can't see any for all the NATO bots in here...."
    18
  1179. 24 mpg is incredible for a vehicle of this size and power. In July, I rented a 2022 Suburban with the 5.3l V8 and was surprised that even with 6 people and their luggage, that bus got 21 mpg at 75 mph. The engine efficiency, transmission programming, and aero work on modern cars of all types really kind of blows your mind if you've been buying cars more than 20 years.
    18
  1180. The "over 100" figure comes solely from some "open source" outfit that absolutely no one knows who they are. Good Journalism there Telegraph 😂😂😂
    18
  1181. Forget "monitoring", rent boats and clear out the shelves at Bass Pro and go take your country back! You have the money, you have the firepower.....do you have the WILL!
    18
  1182. Yeah, drove a base E-Tron GT a few months back as I prefer its looks. When I asked how much, the lady was kind of embarrassed to say $116K. I make over $200K and with a wife and three kids in high school, a $116K car means we have only one car, not the three we need. One car that doesn't even seat all of us. Then I go look at a '22 BMW 530e at $57K with a more luxurious interior than the base E-Tron GT or Taycan. The Federal credit on the 530e is about $6K and my State throws in another $2500, so the 530e is less than half the cost of the E-Tron GT, seats more, more luxurious. The 1.7 sec difference in 0-60 costs $66K. Ummm, no thanks. Auto journalists live inside a bubble. To call this an "everyday EV" is patently absurd.
    18
  1183. LOL, all last week CNN telling us about their "modernized equipment" that Biden gave them, that some allies don't even get. The Cope is Strong!"
    18
  1184. It says AFU lies through its teeth; they said they shot down all but two (38/40). We all watched on cell phone video as at least four missiles struck just one city...."
    18
  1185. United States did this. No one else could have, or would have.
    18
  1186. Japan delivered some jeeps to Ukraine yesterday, and said they'd send some Patriot batteries too. That makes 52 countries fighting Russia, and Russia is somehow winning. Amazing.
    18
  1187. NATO equipment, NATO trained troops, NATO satellite intel, NATO objectives.... NATO First Strike??"
    18
  1188. That thing looks ancient; like it was produced in the 1960s. It has no scorch marks or shrapnel damage; a missile would have shredded it making it look like a cheese grater. I'm getting the same vibes I got when Ukraine would show "Kinzhal fragments" and the CNN reporter would "ooohhh" and "ahhh" as if it were true.
    18
  1189. So, let me get this straight. He killed these people because the Rub N Tugs were too good????
    18
  1190. Last summer Ukraine had 20 times more than what is in this aid bill and they were utterly crushed. I've never seen this magnitude of triumph of hope over reason over the past two years. It is like a mass case of cognitive dissonance across 75% of the Western population.
    18
  1191. LOL. Not much of a "duel" when one has no capacity to hurt the other, eh?
    18
  1192. Krasnopol is an incredible weapon, its range is less than Excalibur but it can hit moving targets like tanks which Excalibur cannot. My guess is the first Abrams to be burned will fall to the krasnopol.
    18
  1193. I noted this as well, the ones demanding US give the missiles and the approval are the smallest ones with no missiles of their own.
    18
  1194. I can totally see why Brits (and most Westerners outside the US) really don't get what has pissed Russia off to such an extent. Here in the US, even CNN will not give anyone a chance to explain the true reason behind the war: The US "Aegis Ashore" missiles in Poland (that the US says are "defensive only"), but if (when) moved into Ukraine, as would surely happen if they became NATO, would reduce Russian reaction time to a NATO first strike to the point they are practically defenseless. It is like the Cuban Missile Crisis in reverse. I'd love to hear Gen. Clark's opinion on why America would "never" do that and if they did, the missiles really would be "defensive" only, but CNN always has him on there saying "Russian's are dumb; Russian's are bad". I'm sure he knows the truth.
    18
  1195. Can't wait to hear the Western spin on this one....
    18
  1196. Zelensky asked him to resign and he refused saying "its the President's decision whether I serve or not". Basically, I'm not gonna quit; you have to fire me. To be brutally honest; Zelensky has many reasons to fire Zaluzhny, the counter-offensive failed, the Russians have been on a rampage the past month, etc. However, I don't think it would make any difference. Zelensky could have Hannibal, Scipio Africanus, or Julius Caesar himself at the head of their army and they'd still be steamrolled.
    18
  1197. No it isn't. Transnistria asked for UN assistance; whereas in 2021 LPR/DPR did not. IF UN helps them, no point for Russia to step in.
    18
  1198. Su-35 is like an X-Wing Fighter to an ancient 45 year old F-16. Russian just showing the American what a modern aircraft looks like, in the spirit of friendly competition like at a car show.....
    18
  1199. "Defend ourselves"??? Poland was never attacked as far as I know; yet they've been sending their Krab self-propelled 155mm guns (with Polish Armed Forces inside) into Ukraine for two years now... Maybe the word "defend" means something different in English than it does in Polish??
    18
  1200. How many guys can be sent to die with no chance of victory before some of them say "hell no!"?
    18
  1201. OMG, all this time I've been thinking all these comments about her really being male were just insensitive anonymous internet nasty commentary. I now listen and mom flat out admits the person was trans. My apology internet commentary....you were right. It does matter because that information changes the profile of who you may be looking for, and where you may look for them.
    18
  1202. To live free of US and British servitude?
    18
  1203. 18 year old boys, and 72 year old men...
    18
  1204. That is about right....its been something like 30,000 a month KIA..not wounded. They have only a few fully trained brigades like 47th Azov with Western equipment. That brigade itself says it has lost half its men and vehicles this year; and has not come off the line in over a year. The rest of AFU has sub-par equipment and little training or are Territorial Units of 45 year old men. They are outgunned 7 or 10 to 1. They have almost no ability to evacuate wounded. HOW COULD THEY NOT BE TAKING ENORMOUS LOSSES?
    18
  1205. There is a TV commercial in Russia from around 2019 showing a couple on a flight. They strike up a conversation with a woman in the seat ahead who overheard them talking about "America". The couple says they are moving to America and excited about all the freedom and opportunity they will find there. The woman ahead nods in agreement and says "yes, my husband and I moved to America a few years ago and love it!" They all chat a bit and then a burly, broad-shouldered 200 lb woman walks into the frame and sits next to the woman in the seat who then looks back at the couple and says "here is my husband, sweetheart tell them how much we love living in America!". The couple's eyes go wide and they look at each other as the camera fades to black. 😂
    18
  1206. Just like Germany in the last days of 1945...
    18
  1207. I hear Zelensky gave Russia terms of their surrender. I gotta admit that little comedian in green has some moxie. 😅
    18
  1208. Makes sense. RU doesn't want to halt it's momentum in other fronts to deal with Kursk, so an uncommitted army is the answer. The Chechens are already trained and experienced so deploying them to Kursk is a good idea
    18
  1209. Bakhmut, Marinka, Avdiivka, AFU makes being encircled and destroyed part of their strategy. Russia just took more territory in the last day than Ukraine did in all of their Summer Offensive.
    18
  1210. ...aaaannnnddd now the truth trickles in. There was a NATO-Ukraine military deployment point at a hotel next to the cafe. That was the missile target---a military target. The blast threw a shockwave that looked like Beirut 2020...because there were weapons inside. Just as I said two hours ago; Ukraine puts military assets in civilian areas as they have done the entire war. Good job Russia!! Keep it up until victory over NATO!
    18
  1211. How Russia let a Cessna just fly over the country like that?? Oh, actually that has worked several times over the United States as well...
    18
  1212. Yes. Only Shoigu and Putin know for sure. "Most say Kharkiv, but if I were Shoigu I'd take Odessa first...."
    17
  1213. City was lost a month ago; could gave saved everyone then
    17
  1214. That's what makes them so appealing!! They do all the things your girlfriend won't do (for the right price of course). 🤣
    17
  1215. Wow! First I've heard of Japan sending weapons to anyone. Japan do NOT want to tangle with Russia; 1937 was a long, long time ago and Japan no longer has massive Army and ultra powerful Navy.
    17
  1216. I'm 48, and this is at least the 5th or 6th thing thats supposed to "wipe us out". I'm soo very tired of the Repent Now types. Please just go away and be silent...."
    17
  1217. I bet Challenger tanks or Storm Shadow missiles were stored inside both buildings. Well known Ukraine stores all their NATO weapons in civilian buildings. Next week the story will come out
    17
  1218. Lol today RU standing on that very spot in Kurakhove
    17
  1219. ... and Zelensky's chief negotiator said yesterday that Boris Johnson flew to Istanbul in March, 2022 and somehow convinced Zelensky not to accept neutrality and end the war. The big question I have is why? Why has it long seemed that Ukraine beating Russia is more important to NATO than it is to Ukraine?
    17
  1220. "Hey, understand now we didn't have anything to do with this stupid isht. It was all US and UK."
    17
  1221. A gun? Ha! When I was 10 I'd draw tanks, planes, bombers, missiles, helicopters, anime mecha; imagery of real or sci-fi warfare of every kind. I'd doodle X-Wings and TIE fighters, exploding planets. Teachers just took my papers away or scolded me to listen and stop drawing. That's it. Of course that was a million years ago in 1986 when the United States was still normal.
    17
  1222. Texas border Ranchers are like "I told you so!"
    17
  1223. just the ones the West reports!! 😂
    17
  1224. Hmmm, only video of the apartment buildings hit by shot down missile fragments? No video of the ammo depots, command bunkers, and bases the missiles were aimed at? Strange. The Kh-101/55 are expensive and accurate, unless shot down-----they hit what they are aimed at.
    17
  1225. "Iranian-backed" because they have Iranian weapons. So, Ukraine is "US-backed" then?
    17
  1226.  @YouAreMeWho  lol. Ukraine is losing hard right now.....where is NATO? In Donbas AFU is no longer even capable of resistance; RU capturing entire unit banners and a fully intact Abrams tank just yesterday. NATO aint gonna send a single soldier into Ukraine....."
    17
  1227. I'm a big fan of Maserati and I know this model is designed to give them something to compete with the Macan, but I personally would never get this over a Stelvio. For this money I could have the monstrous Stelvio Quad and I'm sorry but some better grade leather and wood is hardly enough to warrant choosing a 325hp 4-cyl. over a 505hp V6. I hope they move a lot of these to the Macan lease crowd but that won't be me.
    17
  1228. I hope Russia goes all the way to Warsaw
    17
  1229. She never said "Help me!!" How can you expect a private person, not supposed to be watching the pool as a worker would, to know she was struggling?? One thing I learned when I traveled to Europe is that we in America are conditioned to "mind our own business" ; we generally do not make eye contact with strangers. I got yelled at on a beach in Spain for NOT looking. In a gym or beach, men especially are conditioned to NEVER look at a woman directly-----we can get accused and thrown out or arrested with just three words ("I felt uncomfortable"). How else can you explain a guy walking past at 1:05 and not realized she was unconscious? Its all men in there and none gazed upon her for TWENTY minutes! We look we go to jail! Sad, but don't blame them; blame the "culture"...."
    17
  1230. Russia has the right of self defense against those who attack her...."
    17
  1231. You can lease these toasters for $169 a month now. However, even at that absurdly low rate, I can't find any reason to
    17
  1232. Found some Italian news site that said it was the Yuri Olefirenko----a landing ship of about 1200 tons.
    17
  1233. I saw one truck dump what looked like a shipping container into the water and poof!, it just opened right up to a rectangular section just floating there. No wonder they can build them so fast; six of those things would have been a single lane over the river at that point. 12 would have allowed 2-way simultaneous traffic. It is not an exaggeration to say RU could build at least a single lane in about 1 or 2 hours...."
    17
  1234. What? All France's former colonials are now living in the Imperial Capital and you don't like it? I bet you loved it when all their wealth was in the Capital, just not them, right?
    17
  1235. If you needed proof of what rest and refit can do for infantry, just look at RU performance the past two weeks.
    17
  1236. This is like a vampire calling the ambulance for you after he's drained you...
    17
  1237. Did Sudanese government request their presence?? Or did US/UK just fly them there and support them without asking anyone as they usually do?
    17
  1238. If it is true that AFU is massing a force of 150K north of Sumy to enter Russia in a cataclysmic attempt to take enough territory to force Russia to negotiate, then if I were Russian, I would expect (demand actually) my government destroy this army while it is still in Ukraine. Otherwise, what did we invest all these billions for the past 80 years??""
    17
  1239. On to Patriot Park!!"
    17
  1240. Now look at Gaza and see the difference between "SMO" and "war"
    17
  1241. ...and they say there is no such thing as demonic possession..."
    17
  1242. They just dropped of a shipment off cheap high-quality EVs in Germany. They don't need to "experiment" with the West anymore; they have already won for the next century.
    17
  1243. Anyone else getting the sense that Russia no longer playing with its food?? Whenever Military Summary or Rybar adjusts the map to show "last 30 days" activity, its like the entire 1000km front is covered in red dots, with a few blue dots interspersed.
    17
  1244. How many times can Scholz say "no"? He needs to lay the smack down on those in his government who keep bringing up a question he already answered five times. Also needs to tell France and UK to shut up and mind their own business
    17
  1245. Is the leader, Julani still alive? Media reported he was demilitarized yesterday...
    17
  1246.  @nguyenlamanh2919  They'd have to take Odessa. 😂😂😂
    17
  1247. Yeah, yeah they always say that but never say how (because they have no bloody idea how).
    17
  1248. A new model just released. The ZIRCON hypersonic washing machine; so fast it finishes before you start it!!🤣🤣🤣
    17
  1249. "Fell off the hood of an SUV" Now, that is a cause of death you don't hear every day....
    17
  1250. They call Russias little Piranha FPV drone the "Abrams killer"...😂
    17
  1251. Putin using the term "Sleepy Joe" means that conversation with Trump is 100% truth. Putin never uses childish language or insults, no matter who he is referring to. That is Trump language 100%
    17
  1252. Looks exactly like the Russian one we saw six months ago. Probably took one off a Russian casualty...
    17
  1253. YT has had to delete several earlier vids on this story. Likely because the video show this kid shooting a human being as casually as he'd pick up a Coke to drink. He's only 17; nobody is born like this; get his mother and father in cuffs ASAP. Just like Jennifer and James Crumbley, the first parents convicted in a U.S. mass school shooting, who were sentenced to at least 10 years in prison. THAT is the only thing that will start reducing this teenage madness....
    17
  1254. So they are Russia's version of US Marines? Our Marines fight our bloodiest battles, and take on our toughest opponents too. In American when someone says "send in the Marines" it means the enemy is tough, and we need our toughest to crack them.
    17
  1255. "So what" --- Your friends, the IDF.
    17
  1256. Americans who watch CNN.
    17
  1257. FPV drones can't stop attacks by heavy armor; only artillery is powerful enough to actually stop attacks by armored vehicles. We've now seen it 100 times or more: the drones hit the vehicles but don't stop them. The troops land and disperse into cover or buildings and the infantry carrier may or may not survive to return to base, but it doesn't matter much as its job was done. The tanks may get hit a few times, even destroyed, but again it doesn't matter as the assault reached its objective. Only big artillery, 122mm, 152mm, 155mm can truly break up and stop an armored attack before it reaches its objective.
    17
  1258. How does he suggest getting around the whole "illegal" and "war crime" issues? Or, just ignore those now as they aren't convenient....
    17
  1259. RU doing all this with 6000 troops. How? Because when you have unlimited guided bombs and artillery, ten men can defeat 100 with ease
    17
  1260. Isn't it strange how every country has opposition; US / UK / France....even Russia and Belarus have opposing points of view. The only place where we've never seen a single public display of a different point of view: Ukraine.
    17
  1261. Was Forbidden. NATO changes the rules to give Ukraine a chance
    17
  1262. If RU dont respond soon to NATO escalation, they'll keep doing it and bigger and more boldly...."
    17
  1263. My dad was a boy in Jamaica in 1941. He told me decades ago that sacks of flour would wash up from torpedoed cargo ships and while the sea ruined the outer shell, the inner part was then protected and was perfectly edible. Never in my life seen a documentary on this theater. U da man!!!
    17
  1264. Its Netanyahu. His goal is irrational; as long as he pursue's it, everyone in the area goes down with him.
    17
  1265. Please. Never, EVER use the phrase "game changer" again. This war has ruined that phrase forever in the annals of warfare. There was a massive missile bombardment of Ukraine today in response, as we all knew there would be. Probably won't see the smoldering buildings until tomorrows news but one twist is some of the Kinzhals didn't come from the East, they came from the North. Russia has apparently resumed attacking from Belarus and a Kinzhal from there has a much shorter flight time to Western Ukraine where all the really juicy targets are. When they come from Russia, Ukraine has time to move planes, helicopters, equipment, etc. Now they'll have no such time; not to mention giving Warsaw something else to worry about.

  1266. Pokrovsk is not some little town, pre-war population about 60,000 means its half again as big as Avdiivka and almost as big as Bakhmut. Yet look how quickly RU is advancing on it!! It took months 18 months ago for RU to advance on Bakhmut the way they are moving on Pokrovsk in just a week! The grandfathers of the Russian soldiers would be proud of them; it is 1944 reborn in 2024..."
    17
  1267. Only French troops....
    17
  1268. They go asymmetric; I go asymmetric. Putin is the Man!
    17
  1269. It means Russia will rebuild and populate it in record time and it will then become an immovable object in solidifying the annexed region for the next 500 years.
    17
  1270. That vid of enemies on each side of a treeline was really amazing. 60 years of technology designed to spot your enemy farther away to give you the first shot advantage, negated by Mother Nature. The armored cars driving unwittingly TOWARD a tank that can't even see them to obliterate them, while artillery is accurate enough to fire at enemies that are less than 500 FEET from your own units!!
    17
  1271. They had their chance and blew it. Big Washington Post article lays it all out: They got their NATO-trained and equipped army but they split it by using most of it near Bakhmut instead of using ALL of it in Zaporizhzhia. US told them not to do that but Ukraine did it anyway and now the entire army is gone and made zero progress in either area. Now here is Zelensky asking for another $100B to create a new NATO army to try again next Summer.... LOL!!!
    17
  1272. US diplomats Anthony Blinken and Vicky Nuland must be the most compelling people on earth. How else could two people get 130 million other people (who have been cousins for 1500 years!) to want to kill each other?? That is some amazing communications skill they have...
    17
  1273. All he has to do is prioritize his own citizens over people arriving by boat or Zelensky, and he'll be a smashing success...
    17
  1274. I said a year ago the drone menace has a natural limit; size and capacity. Make them bigger so they can carry more and do more damage, they become slower and easier to detect. Once they become larger than a chair, they can be shot out of the sky with almost any cheap automatic weapon.
    17
  1275. I grabbed a 2006 ES330 with only 125K miles last year. Its got some door dings, a scratch or two, and faded headlights, but the engine purrs like a kitty and zero leaks of any kind. I changed the oil, the trans fluid, had the steering rack and power steering pump replaced, new trans mount, new brake rotors/pads. Paid $5K for car, about $2500 repairs and maintenance. Just did 500 mile road trip, and she glides across the road---no rattles, no shaking, wheel solid and straight, AC blows cold, heated/cooled seats, booming sound. For $7500. We are entering an Age where the US consumer will become more like consumers in Cuba: keep the old cars running as long as humanly possible.
    17
  1276. The Houthis actually have caused the United States to withdraw a supercarrier due to the extreme threat of sea and air based drone attack. For an American my age (48), such a thing would have been science fiction in 1994.
    17
  1277. Russia has the same type of weapon. They'll just use them on Ukraine all the same.
    17
  1278. NATO comes out and says "We will not attempt to place Ukraine in NATO---ever." War is over.
    17
  1279. Funny how almost 80 comments and not one person asks why the F-16 is closing on a Russian bomber in international airspace Arrogance. Thy name is America.
    17
  1280. Russia's new Lancet drone decided on its own to hit a Ukrainian MLRS when a supply truck was driving right past the rocket launcher. It decided on its own that the MLRS was more valuable to destroy so it chose it instead of the truck. Skynet is here...
    17
  1281. A general who dies in combat at the front with his troops is a soldier that died with honor.
    17
  1282. I see many kids, teens, old ladies etc.also being hit by these and can't help but think: "Israel got 10 of it enemies, but created 10,000 new ones in doing so..."
    16
  1283. I cannot wait to see this. It is something I've dreamed of for decades. The last time anything major was done about illegal immigration was 1986 when I was in middle school. I didn't understand what "amnesty" meant and none of the things that were supposed to happen after that amnesty were done, mostly because the DEMs never really wanted strong borders; their policy for 40 years has been open borders.
    16
  1284.  @ernstschwaig4667  who gonna close it?
    16
  1285. Russia lost a 30 ft section of bridge. Ukraine lost the entire port of Odessa. Cope on that. 🙂
    16
  1286. Putin has reached out to NATO to negotiate a settlement as to Ukraine FIVE times since 2018. Every single time, the US says "no". Why would NATO not want to avoid a war and come to some kind of arrangement with Russia that both sides can live with? Because the point is Russia. What NATO wants is a weaker Russia, and Putin gone with a more compliant government replacing him. If that is your desire, there is nothing to negotiate with Putin.
    16
  1287. ? sharpened bone will kill a human just as easily as it did in 200,000 BCE.
    16
  1288. Who goes hiking all alone in a foreign country?? She was a "scholar" in what, exactly? She appears to have had zero common sense. I recall a couple years ago a highly decorated professor went to Greece and-----went hiking all alone and of course a local predator quickly dispatched her.
    16
  1289. Yes, but only if you include two engine out replacements during the 10 year warranty.
    16
  1290. Russia is in Robotyne too. Flamethrower rockets collapse lungs, suffocate even inside of building or vehicle, blow humans apart, etc. out to football field range from impact. I think they are not suited for close combat.
    16
  1291. Shoigu was promoted to Secretary of the Security Council. He was a master of military logistics and his job was done; the steamroller is proof of that. This new minister is an economics wizard; he is the perfect man for the postwar period.
    16
  1292. Storm-Z units are actually extremely good at taking fortified positions. Thats why Ukraine fears them and NATO trembles at their very mention.
    16
  1293. At every ascendancy, there is alarm somewhere in someone. Wherever the weak grow strong, the strong see a new enemy. Has it always been this way among us??"
    16
  1294. Well, this didn't age well. Binkov was right; but the RU Army was smarter than this Western bot gave them credit for. Hahahaha!
    16
  1295. Zelensky now going after his own men. Kyiv opened an investigation into the 3rd Azov Brigade (it WAS NOT supposed to go down how it did----last week Syrsky was very vocal about holding the city). Also, small pockets of isolated 110th Brigade who were in the city already when the trap shut, appear to have been negotiating their surrender WITHOUT communicating with HQ. Can you imagine surving Avdeevka and then spending 5 years in prison for insubordination (or worse)??
    16
  1296. Both of my parents were from Jamaica, and people have been asking me if I'm really "black" for 45 years. What Trump is trying to do is distinguish "African American" (i.e., descendant of American slaves) from all other Black immigrants who have come to this country of their own choice (which, tbh, didn't really take place to any significant degree until beginning in the 1950s)." President Coolidge's Immigration Act of 1924 made it all but impossible for a non-European to legally immigrate to the US. It is a common theme among white's of Trump's generation; that a black person who legally immigrated to the United States is "different" than a black person who is a descendant of slaves. That theme doesn't work anymore as virtually all who subscribed to it are now in Valhalla..."
    16
  1297. Shoigu does not speak often, but when he does you should listen.
    16
  1298. Most real men would see this and think "no way I allow my daughter to fight in the mud while I'm still able to hold a rifle" and they'd be correct. The reality is her father is already KIA as he was sent to the front months ago... Only her grandfather and her toddler son remain.
    16
  1299. Almost two years into this war and still you have pro-Ukraine folks surprised and shocked. Russia has more resources. Much more of everything. More men, more shells, more tanks, more planes, more ships, more bombs, more missiles, more time. Russia could send ONLY T-54/55 on offensives into Ukraine and keep all other types in reserve, and they would STILL outnumber Ukraine in tanks by a huge margin. What other outcome could there possibly have been?
    16
  1300. Russia's naval blockade in the Black Sea means they can close Odessa at will at any time without having to bother risk the equipment and manpower to take it. Ukraine lost their last warship a couple weeks ago so they have ZERO navy. The little drone boats the US/UK gave Ukraine make fun target practice for Black Sea Fleet gunners.
    16
  1301. Kick Italian citizens out of their home country because they disagree with you, Mr. Zelensky??? Wow, the US and UK have created a monster here...
    16
  1302. This summer will look like 1945. The troops swarming toward Kharkiv arent even regulars from the main Army Group North. They are a patchwork of Spetznaz, Storm-Z, Chechen etc units as can be seen by their patches. These are the "shock" units to "kick in the door". After them comes the reserves of regulars
    16
  1303. Now that the Steamroller has begun, the only question is how long it will take. I dont see Zelensky ever giving up, even if Odessa and Kyiv are taken an ultra nationalist like him wont surrender. I also believe US/UK will act in some way to prevent the entirety of Ukraine being taken by Russia. The neocons lost already; but what the endgame will look like can vary widely
    16
  1304. Russia at UN last week after UK blamed them for escalating: “…of the 154 countries currently in attendance today, only 22 can say they’ve never been invaded by or at war with Britain…” Ouch…
    16
  1305.  @maximebegin1454  you left out the part where the stranger first set up a gun across the street from my neighbor's house----pointed directly at him.
    16
  1306. A YEAR? LOL....
    16
  1307. LOL. $6B of my tax money that pays all their salaries and pensions. All about to come to an end in November when I vote for Trump.
    16
  1308. I have 2017 same color, same wheels too! Driving it is like a dream. Four years, 35K miles not a single problem. Oil is borderline exotic and a little hard to find, spark plugs borderline exotic and a bit hard to find, coolant borderline exotic and a little hard to find; I just order from Mopar and its all good. Its a car, take care of it and it will take care of you.
    16
  1309. Denys' article this morning title: "Ukraine leaves Vuhledar..." Nothing about the losses. How he has so many subs I'll never understand....
    16
  1310. The hypersonic washing machines are devastating!
    16
  1311. Whenever I see NATO military exercise I hear the "Imperial March" from Star Wars
    16
  1312. Exactly. When Ukraine destroys an ammo dump, it is like a mosquito biting an elephant. The factories in Siberia have been running day and night since April, 2022.
    16
  1313. Anyone still here that believes Ukraine is "winning"??? LOL.
    16
  1314. I've seen more Hornets in the past month, than in the previous year . I think the price has fallen enough they can sell. At $30K this blows away the Chevy Equinox
    16
  1315. Lol..."withdraws"
    16
  1316. "crashes' = pilot got drunk and ran into a kinzhal....."
    16
  1317. While Ukraine has used troops from 20 different countries (at least) against Russia for the past three years...
    16
  1318. Wagner killed Russian servicemen; Putin cannot let that go. I was a fan of Prigozhin until this weekend; I actually was not surprised he acted out after Putin decided a week ago that Wagner should come under Army jurisdiction (the right decision). I know Prigozhin would be mad but I didn't think he'd fire on fellow Russians. That is unforgiveable. His exile in Belorussia will be brief...
    16
  1319. Is a "buffer zone" even still possible? Once the Russian steamroller starts they are not going to stop for anything less than total victory
    16
  1320. Ukraine's performance in this war will be taught in future military academies in the chapter entitled: "What NOT to do. Ever. Under any circumstances."
    16
  1321. The guy who was in Niger two days ago? They guy who ran the PsyOps troll farm that got Trump elected in 2016? The guy who started then stopped a "rebellion" against a superpower all in an afternoon? That guy is "dead" because his name is on a passenger list? Pardon me if I don't believe it. 😂😂
    16
  1322. Ukraine announced yesterday they are building largest military cemetery in possibly the world. At least as large as Arlington National Cemetery in the United States, and the war isn't even over yet. Ukraine is 10% of US population with same size military cemetery. Let that sink in...
    16
  1323. The drunks they've laughed at for two years built a Death Star? 😅
    16
  1324. Russia has more guided missiles than all NATO countries combined. That isn't even an exaggeration....
    16
  1325. CIA better pray FSB doesn't link them to this...
    16
  1326. This is the dumbest war I've ever lived through. All wars are political negotiation by violence, but this war takes that Maxim to its purest form. Every aspect of this war, from its beginning to its soon-to-occur end, is purely political negotiation by violence. Like a giant game of lethal "rock, paper, scissors"; the US and Russia are each jockeying for the advantage vis-a-vis each other, with Ukraine acting as the US proxy. The West has embarrassed itself in 100 different ways trying to leap-frog each Russian escalation----remember a few months ago the entire South American continent told the US "hell no" when they asked them to give Ukraine their old weapons (with US promise to replace them one-for-one with new NATO ones)?? Biden and the Democrats will not live this one down for another generation...
    16
  1327. What a "scoop"; the world reported this two days ago...
    16
  1328. The Mayor said it last week: "Chicago is a sanctuary city." It will NEVER stop.
    16
  1329.  @gadeane287  Then it wouldn't be a RR. The brand is "off roading across the Sahara"; EVERY RR has to be able to do that. What you are describing is a Jaguar F-Pace.
    16
  1330. As is always the case when you "bring the war home", the enemy civilians don't get mad at their government, they get mad at you Russian civilians starting to get louder about wanting their government to level Kyiv in response to Kursk...."
    16
  1331. This is the strangest war I've ever lived through (born in 1980). There is virtually zero secrecy; 90% of what gets posted online turns out to be mostly true about tactical and strategic goals and progress. Only the actual date something takes place is impossible to determine; no matter what it eventually takes place. The only "surprise" in this whole war was the day it started and only Zelensky was actually surprised. It is both sides: Ukraine-"send us 300 NATO tanks and we'll use them to take back Crimea!" Russia-"Ok, go right ahead and try, we will be waiting!" In the modern Internet connected everything age, I think saying out loud what you intend to do is the only way to have "secrecy". Both sides say ten different things they will do, but neither side really knows which option they will take. 🙂
    16
  1332. Wow, 2nd one like this in as many days. Another "family annihilator" in Dover, MA the other day. Psychologists always say this stuff spikes around this time of year.
    16
  1333. At about $10K more than the M340i, the tax credit pretty much makes this have price parity with the gas version. If you live in a high gas tax State get this, if not get the gas one. Same car, your choice of power train. Makes far better sense than some ugly weird new EV-only pod; just give us the car we like in EV form. Now, please get rid of the tacked on screen design BMW. It looks cheap. Integrate the screen into the dash. Please. Oh and all car makers: Stop spending time and money on sounds for EVs. We bought an EV; we know it makes no sound. The stupid sounds are annoying after about 9 days and we turn it off forever. Many modern gas cars make little to almost no sound under 3000 rpm. We are used to things being very quiet. We have music. Please. Stop.
    16
  1334. Similar feelings here in the United States, as well. The average person looks around and thinks "...when did I ever vote for all this? Where did all these "elites" get the idea this is what I want them to prioritize? They say all this is for my benefit; my safety...but when I ask them "how" they either ignore me or their answer makes no sense..."
    16
  1335. In Ukraine, in urban combat or due to the treelines everywhere, an Abrams can be flanked by a T-62M and defeated.
    16
  1336. Zero Ukrainians in the city but "we are resisting!" 😂
    16
  1337. As soon as I saw Prigozhin make that public statement to Zelensky yesterday, I thought: "He's goading Zelensky into sending more men in just so Russians can chew them up". Seems to have worked.
    16
  1338. LOL. Same "losses" as Ukraine , but Ukraine have no more men while RU can recruit half a Ukraine Army every year.... recruit ....while Ukraine has to arrest men off the street.
    16
  1339. Hilarious "copium" 🙂
    16
  1340. "...unless Kyiv regime capitulates on Russia's terms...or Ukraine will cease to exist." Direct quote yesterday from the Speaker of Russia's Lower House of Parliament (Duma). I don't see a lot of nuance there...
    16
  1341. I've had two Jaguars (XK and XJ) over the past seven years, all 5.0 V8 Supercharged. I put about 80K miles on them during that time, and never had more than a water pump or engine fan fail, and the transmissions are ZF so they were bulletproof. However, I would not recommend anyone to buy a Jag built after maybe 2015 or so. By that time, most of the Ford-designed powertrains were gone from the product lineup, and the models designed under Tata ownership simply did not have the benefit of scale as they had under Ford ownership. If you want one, stick to the 5.0 V8s, as that combo with the ZF transmission is about as reliable as any Jag will ever be. However the accessory parts WILL fail more often, and WILL cost you a pretty penny to fix. I'll admit they ARE beautiful like no other cars; I almost kept my pristine 2011 XJ just because it was so nice to look at...but last year I saw oil spots on the garage floor for the first time ever and she had to go.
    16
  1342. I shudder to think what RU is going to do in response...."
    16
  1343. Russia is such an interesting place. Only there can an openly hostile private company transport a tank for hundreds of miles on the public highway and not single police car even try to pull them over for expired tags. Here in the US, you could have a broken taillight and if you don't stop, there will be 50 police cars around you and they'll do a pit maneuver to stop you.
    16
  1344. I described exactly what is happening in Kursk as the logical conclusion six weeks ago and YT keeps deleting it when I try to post it here... LOL!! The Cope.
    16
  1345. RU triggering booby traps and mines most likely (or some unlucky ones tripping them). Red Army did the same in WW2. When they lost a city, they rigged it with bombs and mines...some set for up to 30 days later. Weeks after the fighting, Wehrmacht would be eating breakfast and the whole building would explode. Von Bock, Von Paulus, and Von Manstein used to complain bitterly about the tactic.
    16
  1346. The gunner should have fired at the recovery vehicle, not the damaged tank.
    16
  1347. So AFU doesn't "own" it when the negotiations begin
    16
  1348. If someone is on land you want, how do you get them to leave?
    16
  1349. Look at Mariupol today. That's whats in store for Artemovsk. That's the city's new name; its old name...its permanent name now. Winners write the history...
    16
  1350. The darkness isn't the big problem....it's what the darkness conceals Zelensky should be afraid of... The Summer of Judgment is coming
    15
  1351. Iskander-K. When you absolutely, positively have to kill everyone in the building.
    15
  1352. Ukraine has taken empty farms, while Wagner took a city of 70,000 fortified with NATO weapons. Slight difference...
    15
  1353. I visited my buddies there back in May and I had not been in Chicago since 2013 before that. My friend would run stop signs and red lights late at night, and first time he did it im like " dude you just blew that light". He said "Chicago has changed, you can't stop at red lights late at night now as the jackers will jump you". I was so nervous the rest of the trip I couldn't even enjoy myself, I was thrilled to get on the plane to go back home. Wow. I don't think I will ever go back to that city in my lifetime
    15
  1354. This is very close to stories on the Yeti, Vampires, and the Lost City of Atlantis.
    15
  1355. UK long wanted to get some; now they will get some in return...
    15
  1356. 120mm is a fairly large shell, and since mortars fall from a much higher angle than artillery rounds, they literally can land right in the trench as opposed to hitting at ground level...far more devastating to infantry. In WW1, mortars were the bane of any soldier at the front on either side; you can't hide from them. A century later, men still take cover in trenches, so again the mortar is the best way to deal with them.
    15
  1357. The Russian Steamroller is slow and methodical, but it never stops
    15
  1358. Kursk is Russia so the only "escalation" is the damage to NATO's ego. These troops are as green as can be, so they are going to suffer harshly initially until they gain some experience. I can't imagine many of them speak Russian or Russians speak Korean, so very unlikely they'll fight in combined actions. They'll likely be posted in roles that are defensive-only , to free up RUAF units for offensive action. For a military historian, we are living in unprecedented times; NK has not fought in over 70 years---even the oldest Western generals are too young to have fought NK even as a private.
    15
  1359. Iran sending a warship into the Red Sea is militarily, a small gesture----the ship itself pales next to the US and UK naval ships in the area and is out numbered 20 to 1. However, symbolically it is HUGE. All my life "Iran Navy" meant tiny gunships and laughably pathetic speedboats. Today, the first day of 2024, Iran sends a guided missile frigate, a true "surface combatant" directly into the active operational zone of the US Navy. We are watching the world order being shuffled before our very eyes....
    15
  1360. Over the past two months I've watched this, DPA, and Weeb less and less. Not because of their quality changing, but because the war has changed. Everyone knows Russia has won; its all been fighting over this town or that, a land grab here or there, etc. Its kinda boring phase now; Russia hasn't lost a battle in over a year now. The politics is far more interesting now, like Zel pissing off Trump in Paris....thats entertainment 😂
    15
  1361. Judging by the moonscape of shattered trees, this must be near Luhansk, and I'd bet real money those are Storm-Z Russians assaulting those trenches.
    15
  1362. Bakhmut is captured. Russia will rebuild and populate it in record time and it will then become an immovable object in solidifying the annexed region for the next 500 years.
    15
  1363. Yes, Bradley Square has now been renamed to "Bradley Cemetery" the losses in NATO armored vehicles are so great...
    15
  1364. ....and very soon, shiny brand new Su-35s to carry and launch them. 🙂
    15
  1365. That's why they elected him. When you and the family run up the credit cards , eventually one day you break the habit or bankruptcy breaks it for you. Either way the dinners out, the Mercedes, the shopping sprees, the PS5 games every week, the clothes, etc. all goes away.
    15
  1366. Seeing snow on that 911 hurts my feelings. Send it to me in Texas and I'll keep it in the garage until someone buys it. I promise I'll only put 100 miles a week on it! :-)
    15
  1367. Automotive not their thing; they'd have to hire away people from every vertical in a car company just to bring something to market, or just outsource the design to Magna Steyr or something. Then what? Who does the support? They made the right decision.
    15
  1368. 1. NATO expressly forbids Ukraine to use donated weapons to attack Russia. 2. The use of cluster shells on civilian areas is a clear violation of UN agreements (if a signatory) and considered by the West as a "war crime"
    15
  1369. Those DPR assault troops that took Avdeevka appear well fed, well trained, well led, well equipped and highly motivated. No amount of CNN propaganda can hide that when you watch all the vids and hear them speak and observe their demeanor. They know they are winning
    15
  1370. It is far, FAR worse for the West. Ukraine already possess 70% of the equipment of the same type or very similar to what the Russian Army uses; only the very latest Russian weapons like the drones and newest missiles would have any intelligence value and since those are munitions, they usually destroy themselves in use. Russia doesn't have a "super-tank" or "super-plane" to capture as RU doesn't philosophically arm itself with wunderwaffe ; the Russian way is tough, simple, rugged and build thousands of them. When RU captures Western stuff its like an intelligence bonanza every time.
    15
  1371. Those hypersonic shovels again.... unstoppable
    15
  1372. "....and Russian military bloggers said." Wait, Western news now using Russian military bloggers as one of their information sources???? The Desperation is real...."
    15
  1373. I can't help but keep seeing that "Heil Zelensky" ad where they take every possession of the German family, including the kid's teddy bear.
    15
  1374. LOL. YT deleted my comment. Us American still not allowed to say anything good about Russians! 🙂
    15
  1375. Do the people that write this stuff live in this universe or a parallel one??
    15
  1376. Just saw report this morning that Zelensky signed a law to allow foreigners to serve as officers in the UAF He long ago signed Ukraine's resources to the West, now he's even signing away what vestigial shreds of sovereignty Ukraine had left.... Unbelievable times we are living in; pure desperation in full view as we witness the beginning of the End
    15
  1377. The officer that introduced him has so many ribbons and medallions on his chest I don't see how he can stand upright. He must have been a real life Captain America to have earned so many accolades...
    15
  1378. RU held off one day so Modi could get out. How respectful of them...."
    15
  1379. Cluster munitions....ICC arrest warrant for Zelensky?"
    15
  1380. ...and the huge AFU losses in Niu York, Toretsk, and Povrovks fronts?? Nothing to worry about??"
    15
  1381. Many of us have said this for years: Gotta start making the consequences fall on mom and dad; it all starts with them. These kids don't come out of the womb like this....
    15
  1382. Please, please people of Africa do not fight other Africans, even the ones from ECOWAS. If you have to fight ECOWAS go easy on them, capture them if you can. Save your fire for the true enemy, France and the United States.
    15
  1383. That is probably the most stunning SUV I've ever seen. I always felt the Jaguar F-Pace SVR was the pinnacle of SUV looks, but this beats it, imho.
    15
  1384. Especially in LGBTQ "progress"....
    15
  1385. Wow. An Iskander strike up close! That's cool!
    15
  1386. Pardon me if I wait a few days or weeks to believe this. This is the same guy that when I was drinking my coffee, his army was advancing on Moscow to take over the country, and when I came home for dinner, he had turned around, called it off, and was shaking hands of Russians in the streets. I'll wait...
    15
  1387. Please add gesture control to the manned aircraft cockpit so that a pilot can simply wave his hand to command the drones to attack just like Count Dooku in "Attack of the Clones". :-)
    15
  1388. "Disaster" 😂😂😂 Right up there with "running out of missiles"
    15
  1389. NATO, if they ever had any honor, is completely devoid of it now....
    15
  1390. That hydro plant not coming back online anytime soon; I hear the turbine and machinery spaces are flooded.
    15
  1391. So after reading the NYT article the other day about our web of CIA bases all over Ukraine, my first question is "how much is ADM, Cargill, and Monsanto invested into shares of Ukrainian farms???" That will answer everything....
    15
  1392. Look at the amount of armor some of those guys are wearing!! They remind me of Starship Troopers!!
    15
  1393. Now that Jag has announced they are going up market in 2024 vs. Porsche on the low end and Bentley on the high end, this is probably the last Jag I'll ever be able to buy new. I will just go all out and get the SVR because by 2025 the cheapest Jag EV will probably be $200K to start.
    15
  1394. All these territorial defense troops (and that armored vehicle) look older than I am....
    15
  1395. Those behind it are exactly who you are thinking was behind it...."
    15
  1396. By the end of this war, there will be at least a dozen "Great Mysteries of the Russo-NATO War" on History Channel in the 2050s. Episodes will include: "Who blew up Nordstream?" , "Who blew up Kakhovka dam?" , "Where did half of the $300B for Ukraine go?" , and now "Who shot the Slovakian Prime Minister?"...
    15
  1397. I support putting Mom and Dad in jail to do 10% of the time the kids get. That is where the problem begins-----and ends.
    15
  1398. Just in past two days, TWO Patriot systems have been destroyed; clear as day on video in both cases. Both very far south (to be able to hit Russian planes over the Sea of Azov). At $1.2B each, that's $2.4B gone just like that and Zelensky's only response is: "hey we need two more Patriot systems". The guy is like a teenager asking his parents for money because he thinks it grows on trees...
    15
  1399. French mercs again??
    15
  1400. The TOS-1A Solntsepyok (Scorching Sunlight) , commonly known as the "flamethrower". Finally getting some love!! The burns if you are out in the open turn you into BBQ. If you try to hide, the pressure wave knocks one side of any void spaces in your body (bowels, lungs, etc.) into the other, smashing them together at supersonic speeds turning them to mush instantly. If you are in a tank or basement, the effect is even stronger. Many AFU are found inside bunkers or vehicles, looking perfectly intact, but completely sent to Valhalla.
    15
  1401. Like most Americans, I could not have found Ukraine on a map in 2020. I have no negative feelings to them as a people, but I know what American politicians are when they think they can change the world. YT won't let me say more than "Go Russia".
    15
  1402. The "bulge" is half the size it was a month ago but CNN and BBC dont write articles about Kursk anymore
    15
  1403. They'd be crazy not to keep going....
    15
  1404. The whole point of defenses are to make the price of getting through them too high; so the enemy goes somewhere else, or commits a massive force (taking that massive force away from offensive operations elsewhere). That's it. So, the only way to understand who is "winning" the Battle of Robotyne is to know if the price Ukraine is paying for going forward is detrimental to their war plan, or expected and acceptable. We have no idea. 10,000 troops and 200 vehicles may be the "price" AFU decided getting through this phase is worth. Maybe not. AFU has asked Zelensky for another round of mobilization so that could mean they are losing more troops than they planned or they factored that in from the beginning. We just will not know for sure until the war is over.
    15
  1405. Amazing. He actually gave a balanced summary of the facts. This thing is absolutely going to be settled one way or the other in weeks, not months. The past three weeks have proven several things: 1. Troops with four months of NATO training and no experience are helpless vs. battle hardened veterans. At the tactical level the Russians are crushing Ukraine---they allow them to advance, fire mine-deploying rockets behind them, hit them with artillery and drones, and when they withdraw they hit mines that weren't there when they drove in. 2. Air power. What more need be said? Only CNN believed Ukraine could have success with no air cover. Russia is very well prepared, their troops are professionals and reservists with great patriotic morale, they are well supplied with modern effective weaponry, and they are everything CNN and BBC said they were not.
    15
  1406. EU had FOUR proposals over past three years to talk! Two from China, one from African Union and one from South Americans; they refused all of them!! Had your chance to talk.... adults are in charge now.
    15
  1407. Zelensky had his chance. A huge $20B army was given to him and they wasted it trying to get through a wall of prepared defenses.
    15
  1408. There is so much in this summary that just boggles my mind; I can only respond maybe once every 30 minutes as I have to process what I just heard. HOW in the fucc does France (or any other NATO country) believe that putting their soldiers on an air base or power plant or fuel depot will "protect" it from Russian attack??? For two years Russia has rejoiced with glee to report it whenever they located NATO personnel in military roles in Ukraine (where they are not supposed to be), and they put an Iskander into them! The "drone show" last fall, the hotels in Odessa, the Patriot wipeouts, the German-speaking soldiers in Leopard 2s, the Poles in Krab artillery clearly heard on the radio, etc. Russia has considered it a badge of honor to demilitarize NATO personnel; Macron must be insane to think they will hesitate.
    15
  1409. Im surprised there are buildings left....
    15
  1410. Such propaganda BS. If Russia captured a Ford-class Supercarrier, this moron channel would be up the next day saying "oh there's nothing for them to learn from it". 🙂
    15
  1411. Telegraph reported a few hours ago that AFU has withdrawn the Abrams from combat operations as its losses are too high to RU drone superiority. They are dying without ever getting within 10 km of an enemy tank.
    15
  1412. LOL. If you are in a Genesis, you are one of the "poor people".... :-D
    15
  1413. Moved here in 1999, and within a few months I realized I'd moved to the "Drunk Driving Capital of the United States". I quickly learned: NEVER stop to fix your flat (or help someone else fix theirs) on the side of a TX road, especially at night. You WILL die. When you go out partying, try to be off the roads before closing time. The "witching hour" for drunk drivers is 3am - 4am as they struggle to find their way home after the bars closed at 2am. I lost a dear friend in 2013 who passed out drunk while the driver--also drunk---ran them both into a wall on 635. I am sad for the innocent man who died.
    15
  1414. Western media for months: " Bakhmut is meaningless"
    15
  1415. All that matters is what Putin thinks, not what the West thinks. The West has been winking while lying about Nordstream for two years now; they have no room to talk about another country making the facts fit the desired outcome. Look at the news from the ground in Ukraine----that is all that matters.
    15
  1416. I do care about Freedom, my own...
    15
  1417. The Bear has been slapping salmon for three years now; he is very good at it.... 😂
    15
  1418. Some Western leaders need to go to prison for this.... Unbelievable
    15
  1419. West should be cheering as these are former Al Qaeda. But then the West hired them so....
    15
  1420. In Antarctica alone Russia has enough oil and gas to be rich for the next 100 years. They already produce enough grain to give it away for free. Russia doesn't want US/UK on its front porch; they don't need minerals. EU is the one that needs those minerals to compete with China.
    15
  1421. That is very close to shore for a shark that big!!! I could stand up at the distance he is swimming! That particular shark is now at the point it is actively hunting humans; this was no surprise of a baby shark type reflexive bite.
    15
  1422. NATO is dripping with fear, thats why the constant ridicule. Russia should naturally outsource low value military production like shells and rockets, so their domestic production can concentrate on drones and kinzhals. In return NK gets ICBM tech. It makes perfect sense for them to cooperate against a common enemy.
    15
  1423. Mind your own (shattered) country
    15
  1424. Wow, whoever Kwiatkowski is, she nailed them with the hard truth.
    15
  1425. RU gonna rename "Niu York" to "Novogorodskoye". Can't blame them. I wouldn't want a city on my land named after the most famous city in my enemy's country either...."
    15
  1426. 30 F-16s in 2028. By 2028, "Ukraine" will exist only as a theme park at Disneyworld.
    15
  1427. LOL. Ukraine "repelled" nothing. All the evening reports are in and yeah we saw the vid (provided by Ukraine) of some tanks being hit, but the reality is almost all the assault troops are geo-located to be inside Konstantynivka and the vehicles hit represent only 20% of the attacking force. In a week the town will fall and Telegraph will do as it usually does in these situations-----report nothing. Everyone knows the war is over; the new conscripts don't even fight, they just keep their heads down as RU attacks as no one wants to be the last man to die in the war...." It's over."
    14
  1428. I don't like when EV prices are advertised with the tax credit subtracted. Give us the price, tell us it qualifies, that's it. To get the full credit you have to have at least that amount in tax liability and if you make over $150K you don't get it at all. Far too many variances for reviewers to just take it off the price.
    14
  1429. It looks like a great deal, but time will tell. I'd have to see how that tiny motor is holding up 4 years from now. I'd go Nissan Kicks
    14
  1430. This is a good vehicle with all the things that any Audi fan would want in their car. I can't blame anyone for buying it, but if you make that person test drive a VW Arteon SEL R-Line before making a final decision, very few will buy the Audi.
    14
  1431. Are they speaking for Israel or the United States?? Hamas attacked Israel, correct? I swear the past two years I can't tell if I live in Ukraine or the United States. Now, add a third country I appear to be a "citizen" of judging by the primacy the people I voted for place on these other countries....
    14
  1432. Z had his chance in 2023. $60B NATO trained and equipped army. He split it up to defend Bakhmut, so it was half strength when he attacked Zaporizhzhia , and RU easily destroyed each half. That was it; he should have gone to the negotiation table after that because that was the best chance he was gonna get
    14
  1433. All this is academic now...Russia has vastly more of everything and logistics wins wars. Just as in 1944, once the steamroller starts it is almost impossible to stop
    14
  1434. I'm a big Lexus fan and in the market for this type of vehicle but I think I will go with a '21 or '22. I just want a simple V6 that I know will last forever and I don't like that schnoz on this new one.
    14
  1435. He knows the end is near. They are panicking
    14
  1436. They did. 50B euro
    14
  1437. Meanwhile: RU takes two towns in less than 24 hrs...
    14
  1438. "...90% of the men he signed up with are dead, wounded, or ran away..." But the men of France, Germany, US and UK are all healthy and intact...."
    14
  1439. Truth starting to trickle out now (as it does within a few hours or days of every major attack). That hotel had NATO engineers, technicians, mercenaries and Ukrainian Navy personnel in it; it was the base of operations where NATO/Ukraine initiated attacks on Crimea. Whenever the US Global Hawk flies close to Crimea, Ukraine attacks a few hours later. Russians noticed Global Hawk yesterday, and this time bombed the hotel BEFORE the Ukrainian attack! No attack on Crimea last night. 😂😂😂
    14
  1440. Basically, no one in the West has any idea what just happened.
    14
  1441. You know its bad when Lloyd Austin has to publicly rush to Ukraine to speak some of his now-classic levels of wordy nothingness, and mention that US is sending more weapons.
    14
  1442. War always teaches lessons. US Military learned some hard ones in Fallujah, Iraq in 2003-2004.
    14
  1443. Man, that vid from Dnipro reminded me of that old game "Missile Command" when you run out of ammo and helplessly watch the missile trails descend to your cities and obliterate them one by one. 1983 fantasy is now 2023 reality.
    14
  1444. Im really tired of seeing this guys face every day. Even Saddam wasnt in the news this much with endless boasting about stuff that never comes true
    14
  1445. Ukraine has civilian women, some of them in their 50s, out practicing with AK-47s. Did you see the battle-hardened Russians in Avdeevka?? Their combat load alone weighs about the same as the average woman. Sending women with three weeks rifle training up against Storm-Z is a crime against humanity. I see why Zaluzhnyi was fired; Zelensky has become irrational. You fought hard and lost; accept it as thousands of nations and kingdoms have. Land can be recovered in the future; human life cannot. France lost a bitter war and had to give up Alsace-Lorraine. 45 years later they got it back. Had they fought to the death prior, there would have been no one left to claim it in the future. Biden needs to stop this madness.
    14
  1446. ..as usual five years from now anyone who bought the Hyundai will wish they'd bought the Toyota.
    14
  1447. Meanwhile the entire eastern front in Donetsk has collapsed and AFU is in full retreat after Niu York fell yesterday….
    14
  1448. Can we get all those old Bradleys Joe Biden gave to Zelensky back to park outside our schools?
    14
  1449. Kinzhal isn't even the "big boy" of Russia's hypersonic arsenal. In 2018 they announced the "Avangard" was operational. Who knows if they actually have them or how many. However that thing is a hypersonic glide vehicle that falls from SPACE and hits the ground at Mach 27. You are talking about a non-nuclear weapon that is unstoppable and will annihilate everything and everyone in a 1-mile circle around its point of impact.
    14
  1450. Take a swim in the ocean, not a pool, with 60 lbs of gear on your body. Let us know how that works out for you, stud...
    14
  1451. They got a free $20B army and wasted it....they have nothing to complain about. Imagine if Hamas got a $20B army
    14
  1452. In November I will simply vote for whichever candidate disgusts me the least at that exact moment in time. If they are equally atrocious; I will just turn around and go home.
    14
  1453. The only good thing about recent events is they all point to the imminent end of this stupid war. EU says "No" again to Zelensky on long range missile request. That is now four times in the past three days he has been told "no" by US/EU, on long range weapons/approval. Poland said "no more to give", Finland "no more to give", Hungary just blocked EU giving Ukraine Russian money, Serbia just told EU "No, we will not sanction Russia". Netherlands today: "F-16s we donated cannot be used to attack Russian civilian targets". Napolensky can't continue the fight with no weapons and no money. Thank God...."
    14
  1454. Zelensky just threatened a new "counter-offensive" this summer. He is now in "Army Group Steiner" territory; moving units that don't exist on his battle map.
    14
  1455. We have all just witnessed the End of post-WW2 US Hegemony over world events. There are now two "poles" around which the affairs of humanity revolve, not just one.
    14
  1456. I see 1943 in this all month. Trade land for time while bleeding the enemy with artillery. The factories in Siberia run night and day. Hit ammo and fuel supplies, hit leadership like the generals and NATO officers killed yesterday, wait until enemy is spent. Then start the steamroller and it doesn't stop until the Polish border in 2024.
    14
  1457. LOL. Let Russia give Canada some missiles aimed at D.C. and watch CNN change the definition of "unprovoked". 🙂
    14
  1458. The 4-cyl is the best all around Giulia. In AWD form, you can rip to 60 in 4.8/4.9 and cruise at 75 on the hwy for hours getting 36 mpg. Telepathic handling that is second only to Porsche and real butter soft Italian leather seats at a price Benz and BMW only give you vinyl.
    14
  1459. Yesterdays Chernihiv hit numbers coming in today; it was French as suspected, but Polish too. Engineering battalions for mine-clearing operations. Demilitarized.
    14
  1460. ...not Islamic State thats for sure
    14
  1461. I saw a 2021 Taycan S with 2600 miles for $68K.
    14
  1462. Hmmm, one day after Jens Stoltenberg: "I do not expect NATO to offer Ukraine an invitation"
    14
  1463. My favorite weapon of this war. Solntsepeyok literally translated is "scorching sunlight"
    14
  1464. I like how the lawyers just watch from a safe distance😂
    14
  1465. Ukraine has reached the first "observation line"; about 5km from the first actual defense line; the area made famous as "Bradley Square". This is in Zaporizhzhia near Robotyne, which is in the Tokmak defense sector. This is probably the most heavily fortified area in all of the annexed areas, and one of the four most likely attack routes everyone estimated a year ago. There are five defense lines in front of Ukraine; they have not yet reached the first (5km from it). The Lancet drones here are so numerous they fill the sky like flies. The mines are so thick, you could walk from Orekhov to Tokmak without getting any dirt on your boot. Artillery here falls like rain; and the Krasnopol laser-guided shells can hit a single vehicle from 25 miles away. The Ka-52s and Mi-28s, unbothered since Ukraine has no air force, now have new LMUR missiles with 15km range, even better than the 8km range of the Vikhr missiles that murdered the Ukrainians back in July. Behind all this, sit hundreds of T-80BV3 and T-90M tanks; ready to pounce upon whatever survives the Dantes Inferno described before. Not with 500,000 men could Ukraine do this; it is folly.
    14
  1466. CNN needs to shut down. We voted against CNN as well as against Harris. Please cease operating
    14
  1467. Russia took it in 9 months and the West ridiculed them the whole time for "taking so long". Ukraine now has been trying to take it back for 5 months and they just took a village 3 km from the city outskirts. At this rate Ukraine will recapture Bakhmut in 2027. 😂
    14
  1468. He was arrested in sight of the tank factory. Who could have expected a different outcome..."
    14
  1469. Holy isht....like Tokyo or Dresden 80 years ago. Bakhmut is forever in the annals of military history
    14
  1470. LOL. The only money Ukraine has is US taxpayer money. What they gonna do, send us our own money back as "payment"??? 🤣🤣🤣
    14
  1471. It's going to be a brutal two weeks. Ukraine rushing to do something meaningful by the NATO Summit and Russia sitting back and just letting them come while bending but not breaking.
    14
  1472. Because if EU does it to Russia, the precedent is set; they'll do it to any country they disagree with and label as "bad".
    14
  1473. Both years younger than either US Presidential candidate , LOL
    14
  1474. That Iranian guided missile frigate may appear weak and alone, but the moment it meets and sails alongside a Russian warship, it may as well be the HMS Queen Elizabeth supercarrier as it becomes just as untouchable.
    14
  1475. Kinzhal moves at Mach 10+, Patriot, even the latest Pac-3/4 is Mach 4. Even accounting for the "BS factor" (nations never disclose the true parameters of their weapons), that's still such a massive gap it is impossible. It was probably a Kh-22/32---which are supersonic up to Mach 5, or Kh-101 which is only subsonic up to about Mach 0.8. The Tu-160 and Tu-95 bombers which were known to have been active the past two weeks carry the Kh-22/32 and Kh-101. This is just US/Ukrainian propaganda, nothing more.
    14
  1476. I was born in 1972; this is what a "President" looked and sounded like most of my life. Imagine how strange the past 6 years has been for me
    14
  1477. I've searched almost two years and still struggle to find a historical analogue to this "war"; it is strange on so many levels. For example, Ukrainian officers must have gone to a different kind of Military Academy. I've never seen so many "double envelopments" in the study or observation of any war; Military Schools usually teach officers to AVOID these, but AFU seems to make being encircled part of their strategy. I realize they don't want to lose territory; but Hannibal only won at Cannae because the Romans DIDN'T REALIZE they were being encircled until it was too late. Ukraine allows the "pincers" to form, then sits there for MONTHS in many cases while they close around them.
    14
  1478. Never let an opponent get back up. --- Mike Tyson, 1990
    14
  1479. Over 200+ missiles and drones and "...at least 5 people are dead...". With that same number of weapons, IDF would have unalived millions......"
    14
  1480. West been on top for 80 years; no one reading this has lived in a world where they were not "superior". It is hard for them...
    14
  1481. The Iranian rockets have 100 km range (and no one even knows if its true they even sold them to Russia). They are little more than Tornado-S rockets. Typical NATO lies talking about "Iranian missiles across Ukraine" BS to justify using a Storm Shadow cruise missile (not a rocket!!) with 500 km range. Endless lies...."
    14
  1482. To diminish the dominance of the United States in world affairs?
    14
  1483. WW3 has turned out to be nothing like anyone expected
    14
  1484. DAMN. Russia lured them into a "meat grinder" and they walked right into the trap.
    14
  1485. Well, now after the call-up last week he's going to the front. Maybe he'll run into some Russians he knows.
    14
  1486. Zelensky's Final Judgment has come. He only has 11 more days in his Presidential Term; will he concede and sign the Armistice Agreement?
    14
  1487. I prefer this one because it is lighter, and (if you get the manual ) the engine has titanium connecting rods (which is something I have only experienced once in the NSX I had a decade ago). I also think it looks a little better than the CT5V-BW, and let's face it; that is the GM 3.6 in there they've been building almost 15 years now. It will easily outlast any German engine and cost you a fraction in maintenance if you drive it any length of time. This is more important than ever as there won't be any new versions of it; this is the last generation of ICE so you want the one that you can still drive in 2035. All its German competitors will be junk (or garage queens) by then; only this or the Lexus IS 500 will be one you can actually use without ending its life.
    14
  1488. RU has 1500 men at the Vovchansk "bulge"; AFU has almost 10,000, yet AFU cannot even threaten a single offensive move. Why? RU 10 to 1 firepower advantage. So far, the Kharkiv incursion is one of the most successful military operations of the war. RU has tied up 5 AFU to every 1 of theirs and AFU only has 400K men at the front to RU 600K. For the slow, that means there are areas all along the front where RU could simply walk in anytime they want.
    14
  1489. May I ask a question? Why has that base been inside of two different countries so many times over the past 24 hours??? That border line is jumping around more than a frightened frog the past day...
    14
  1490. 50 countries versus 1 and he has wiped the floor with them.
    14
  1491. A tsunami of steel is massing near Kharkiv and Sumy, FAB-3000 first confirmed use today. The hammer is about to fall.
    14
  1492. Back in 2015, President Obama said he was against arming Ukraine to fight Russia because "...Russia has the ability to infinitely escalate..." Basically, no matter what the US gave Ukraine, Russia could always easily go one step further, resulting in Ukraine never really having an advantage and just being wiped out in the process. Right wing hawks excoriated Obama at the time for this choice (and still do), but he was 100% correct. Here we are and yet another "escalatory step" is taken because, as Obama said, so far Russia just leapfrogs whatever US gives Ukraine the capability to do.
    14
  1493. Really sad to see France becoming the United States
    14
  1494. Nevatim air base never seen anything like it either
    14
  1495. US shaking with fear that 1500 110 lb guys are in Russia being trained on drone warfare.
    14
  1496. RU bombed 30 other places but for 24 hrs Western media showing us this same bldg.
    14
  1497. I test drove this a couple months back at an auto show; $116K out the door. I laughed at the nice Audi lady as I walked away...
    14
  1498. We have all waited for this moment. All of AFU is there now. One strike ends the war. Save a lot of Russian lives (Ukrainian too as they will talk after such a strike)
    14
  1499. US had laser guided bomb in Vietnam, and years later upgrade to GPS, this type of weapon is nothing new but in all this time, NATO never bothered to develop a counter for it. They fought only poor people for so long, they saw no need as their opponents didn't have planes (or they had few inferior ones) , and GPS was theirs. They could not imagine someone else was wealthy enough to put their own satnav system in space, have lots of modern planes and bombs and could do the exact same thing. NATO grew weak and lazy because they had no credible opposition
    14
  1500. I honestly don't even know how these people believed it would go any other way. Three MILLION men went into Russia just 80 years ago and LOST!!
    14
  1501. I was like "hmmm, not too bad" until I saw the upper dash. The Flat Panel TV Inside Your Car trend needs to die----now.
    14
  1502. When you are a beggar army this is what you do.
    14
  1503. The AFU is fleeing Donbas so quickly and RU moving so fast (fastest ever seen since the beginning of the SMO) that some are starting to wonder if there is some secret agreement for Ukraine to abandon the DPR in exchange for something...."
    14
  1504. LOL...as Germany slowly and quietly exits the theater....
    14
  1505. Yeah "unprecedented" because until three days ago the "NATO Precedent" was no Western donated weapons allowed to attack Russia proper , only the annexed regions and Crimea. There is historical precedent for this sudden change in the rules; and it isn't pretty. On Feb. 4 1915, Germany declared a war zone around Britain, within which merchant ships were sunk without warning. This 'unrestricted submarine warfare' angered many who otherwise were somewhat neutral about the war up to that point. NATO just got the "game changer" that has eluded them for over two years...."
    14
  1506. Too soon to know for sure. However so far they've allowed 6,000 soldiers to take 300 sq km of enemy territory in just one week. They are the only true "game changer" this war has ever seen.
    14
  1507. Like China said; pure theater. The only positive outcome from this is that the world seems to agree on one thing: It is time to talk
    14
  1508. The "southern area" of a town of 480 is approximately five houses. Ukraine took the final five piles of rubble last night. Congratulations
    14
  1509. LOL. When you said "wastegate" I rolled my eyes. I just had to deal with the wastegate actuator on my 2017 Alfa Giulia getting loose and rattling. Car has 90K trouble-free miles (its actually been so good so far I call it the "Italian Camry"). Well, the reality of modern engines caught up with me; a plastic knob that holds the wastegate arm just wears over time and now it is loose and rattles. Soon it won't move with the precision it is supposed to and the car will detect "underboost" and throw codes. Very common for this engine once the years get on it, and the "fix" is new turbo (even though the turbo itself is fine). If you lease, or keep for maybe 7 / 8 years tops, these 2.0T engines are ok. However you will never get the years of trouble free service out of them as you would the 3.5/3.3 V6s or any of the V8s Toyota used to make. They ALL do this with the plastic to keep the weight down ( and the mpg's up). If we could just ban plastic from engine components every brand's reliability scores would go up.

  1510. Collapse

  1511. No more laughing from the NAFO bots, that's for sure! 🤣
    13
  1512. Thanks Joe!! As if we didn't have enough indigenous gangs already!!! YOU allow new ones to walk right in!!!
    13
  1513. Tell her daddy will be home soon; the war is almost over and papa will be coming home a hero having participated in a stunning defeat of NATO.
    13
  1514. 9 comments, 8 blocked. LOL.
    13
  1515. LMAO!! Russia lost the vehicles but gained all the land they were assaulting! ! This is a war over land remember? US Marines lost a bunch of vehicles taking Iwo Jima, but they gained all the land they were assaulting ! I love to come to this channel once a week as the Cope is stronger here than almost any other place in the galaxy! 😂
    13
  1516. One thing this war has shown that we've never seen before; the amateur military channels are almost as accurate as anything inside a national defense HQ. The reason is the soldiers themselves post exactly where they are and what they are doing 24/7. While they can of course lie or be mistaken, if you add in social media posts by civilians (who simply post dramatic events out of habit), the result is 90% accuracy of most events.
    13
  1517. Worst place by Western standards...."
    13
  1518. Yes and he said "strike" military target, nothing about a demonstration of inert weapons. Maybe the detonations were deep in the earth....no one anywhere on earth has ever seen a weapon like this before.
    13
  1519. Ready for use next Spring. Will there even be a Ukraine by next Spring?
    13
  1520. Obama said don't do it back in 2015, but Biden/Blinken/Nuland/Austin/Milley didn't listen....."
    13
  1521. Both of their body language is a bit better than three hours ago. Not joyous like its Christmas, but significantly improved. I mean really, how bad is it really when the "bully" is shoveling billions of dollars in your face?? 🙂
    13
  1522. If Wagner men can stand in front of a very recognizable monument and talk trash, that means there are no Ukrainian troops within a 700 meter circle around them. US Military sniper train to 900 meters and low end is about 400 meters, so figure a really good Ukrainian sniper should be accurate out to 700 meters. I'm American and I'll admit, that Prigozhin reminds me of US General George Patton; I'm actually starting to like him...
    13
  1523. JDAMs been there a year. Russia jam GPS they fall into potato fields....😂😂😂
    13
  1524. UK Royal Navy mostly. At least they were until two days ago Russia put an Iskander into their drone base in Odessa...
    13
  1525. I knew something was different when US puts Adm. Kirby up there with diagrams and maps (as if the United States is at war). The US Military only does that in order to "justify" something they are going to do in response. Together with what we heard from the mil-bloggers, it doesn't take much imagination to realize those Russian air raids last week absolutely annihilated some things in Ukraine that hurt them very, very deeply.
    13
  1526. ....Russia learned from the United States. They learned from the best. 😂
    13
  1527. I really think this will be over before F-16s are flying for Kyiv. Ukraine has no way to halt the Russians who are now inside Kupiansk, and in the south near Robotyne the very best of what Ukraine has is locked in battle with Russians who have now moved back to a more defensible position and are raining Su-34 satellite guided bombs, artillery, Ka-52, and Lancet drone hell on the oncoming Ukrainians.
    13
  1528. "Ok, who invited Mr. Iskander to the party??"
    13
  1529. Funny how Bell is almost 100% correct in his assessments here in this short talk. It is only when it comes to Ukraine's military situation where he enters Fantasyland.
    13
  1530. "So long" compared to which previous war with similar troop numbers engaged? You don't have say you are 16.......we can tell...
    13
  1531. As usual, there is a huge difference in the casualties reported by AFU and the ones RU estimates. In either case however, the casualties are in the multi-hundreds.... I despise Biden/Blinken/Nuland for what they have done in Ukraine; there was no need for it other than greed. American weapons in Ukraine/Black Sea is an obvious threat to Russia that any American President would understand (if not agree with). To push it anyway and cause a war like this was extremely corrupt and foolish; HOWEVER I hate to see so many Ukrainians and Russians being sacrificed when those that are most responsible are utterly untouched.
    13
  1532. The only thing I can say that YouTube won't delete is "Yay Russia!". So, yay Russia!
    13
  1533. Ukraine didn't belive Putin would do it. Even up to the night before, the Ukrainian ambassador was telling NATO "he won't do it".
    13
  1534. Probably costs 1/4th what a Storm Shadow costs.
    13
  1535. America is a tinderbox......"
    13
  1536. China has planes that quite literally look like the planes from the future we saw in 80s anime like "Macross" and movies like "Firefox". Go back and watch some of that stuff and the resemblance to China's J-20, J-35A, J-15T, J-10C is uncanny.... I don't know how they will perform, how good their avionics, etc. but in terms of appearance, China has nailed the "future"
    13
  1537. Rates are killing everyone (at least for cars priced for working people) , the Lambo crowd is fine. 700 credit gets you 9%!!! Yes some cars you can get subsidized rates lower but that is for stuff nobody wants. My 2017 Giulia Ti is at 100K miles and running well so although I'd love a new Stelvio Quad the rates just make it stupid so I will drive my car until it dies. I used only Mobil 1/Pennzoil since new and the engine is smooth as butter, ZF trans is bulletproof so I expect this car to give me another 100K miles.
    13
  1538. I only see Sudanese being attacked. Where did you see a Russian?
    13
  1539. If I lived there I would be armed at all times with a primary weapon, secondary weapon, a dagger on my calf, and a cheap 12 gauge in the trunk with 5 shot turkey load.
    13
  1540. Also requested help from UN, OSCE, and Red Cross too, but CNN/BBC/DW always leaves that part out. Its happening again: we are being misled just like 2 years ago
    13
  1541. RU always a bit slow to react, but once they do it's ggwp...."
    13
  1542. The Russian steamroller is coming from two different axes now: Kherson and Kupiansk. One steamroller will crush Kharkiv and secure all of the north up to Sumy. The other will smash Kherson, wheel left and take Odessa under siege just like in 1941.
    13
  1543. Russian defense lines are designed to yield in certain places and hold in others. If Ukraine is penetrating deeply and relatively easily, its because Russia wants them to.
    13
  1544. Yep, and NATO is demiltarized. Who'd have ever thunk that two years ago? Never poke the Bear...
    13
  1545. What nonsense is this? Yesterday CNN showed AFU M109 team firing 155mm SMOKE SHELLS as that's all they have. The guy interviewed said "old Soviet stuff is better because its easier to get and always works".
    13
  1546. No advance knowledge; only provided the missiles free of charge...
    13
  1547. Not to excuse the dealership, but that car has been abused imho. Ten years and 11,000 miles means virtually nothing inside that engine bay has been run enough to seal, or lubricate, or fully "burn in". No shock to me the AC compressor died; its never been used enough so the seals and gaskets dry out and it leaks. I'd avoid a used Toyota such as this like the plague; give me the 2006 Lexus ES330 with 120K miles over this any day of the week.
    13
  1548. Yes we all know that. That is why the sane people have been saying for a year to negotiate, but no you want to keep dying. What did US just say 400K Ukrainian casualties so far?? Go right ahead...
    13
  1549. Unless AFU has been officially declared a Branch of the US Armed Forces (and that is VERY possible as we are paying all their police/fire/govt/miltary salaries and pensions), the only military "interfered" with was a foreign one to which no American owes allegiance. It is our CHOICE whether we support helping Ukraine or not.
    13
  1550. I don't know if they are buying them from Iran or North Korea (or both), but Russia CLEARLY has more Iskanders to use than ever before. I saw one fired at a single Ukrainian tank a couple weeks ago. Only the United States is wealthy enough to fire $1M missile at a single tank..... Something has changed; if RU has that many cheap Iskanders now......I mean those things are 1000kg of HE hitting at Mach 6 with 10m accuracy...."
    13
  1551. Glad to hear it. However, was he taken or just wandered off? I always thought "Amber Alert" meant "taken"?
    13
  1552. In 1914, Brits had just finished a brand new battleship for Brazil built by Vickers. It was just as good as anything in the RN fleet at the time, so when war broke out UK govt. decided to keep the ship (and the down payment from Brazil). 😂😂😂
    13
  1553. Antony Blinken and CIA hands all over this....."
    13
  1554.  @Cyberpsych0_  I heard it was a mil...
    13
  1555. If Israel can ignore the UN, then everyone can.
    13
  1556. In 2015 Obama refused to arm Ukraine because he said "Russia has the capacity for escalatory dominance . No matter what we give, they can leapfrog that capability resulting in Ukraine never having an advantage and just being destroyed in the process." Obama was the highest IQ President probably since Nixon, and here we are two years in and every day proves Obama was right....
    13
  1557. or Trump in the United States...
    13
  1558. Can we all just stop pretending and address him as President Victoria Nuland?
    13
  1559. .. reported for misinformation...
    13
  1560. I said same a couple weeks back. I hear 17 and 18 year old boys are being conscripted now
    13
  1561. Planes cant shoot down Iskander, Oniks, and Kh-22!! That comedian is funny!!😂
    13
  1562. I don't blame Doorman; he did what he was ordered to do and what he was supposed to do: defend his country. It doesn't matter if the enemy has 10 ships and you have only five; you are the "warriors" of your country and your job is to defend your people. That's your only job. What was he to do? Sit back and watch the invasion fleet sail by because it was a fight he had very low chances of winning?? Take his ships and sailors, built and trained for this very purpose home without a scratch while the enemy lands unopposed?? He did exactly what he should have done; he and all who participated upheld their honor.
    13
  1563. Ok those "fish" at the end are alien lifeforms.
    13
  1564. What does Ukraine "think they need to actually win"?? First what is "win" to them? If its pushing Russia out of all the territories and Crimea I think that is just absurd. They'd need 2 million men and 300 or 400 fighter-bombers , 3000 tanks AT LEAST to do that. Is that what they are asking for??
    13
  1565. AFU officers are the dumbest I've ever seen in modern war. Bakhmut, now Avdiivka same story: don't retreat when encircled, stay and lose thousands more and lose the town anyway. Imagine how much better off they'd be now if they had all the troops they lost in the last few months of Bakhmut and all those lost the past month in Avdiivka.
    13
  1566. United States. Either did it themselves or gave the rebels the means to do it. US just shot down the drone of an ally yesterday, you can tell they are jumpy.
    13
  1567. No, and you are "Far Right" for noticing...
    13
  1568. In the type of war Ukraine is, what can a T-14 do that a T-62 cannot?
    13
  1569. The steamroller never pauses
    13
  1570. That is more soldiers than Russia has deployed in the war so far...LOL.
    13
  1571. This war makes me hate our own leaders...
    13
  1572. Like he is going to answer such questions truthfully...
    13
  1573. NBC runs this, but nothing about Zelensky firing Zaluzhnyi???
    13
  1574. What kind of "negotiation" is when you see the other side's first terms you just get up and walk away? Of course their first draft of terms is "SUN, MOON, and SKY"; you laugh and come back a few days later with something more realistic, they laugh and come back a few weeks later with something more realistic, etc. etc. until you have something you BOTH can live with. NATO didn't "negotiate" anything; they read the document and walked away to prepare for war.
    13
  1575. A week ago at the UN, Russia gave Biden/Zelensky one more chance for peace. Never forget that...
    13
  1576. Who pays the French mercenaries? I can't believe there is enough money in the world to go where you can only "help", not fight back, and you are target #1. Kind of like Vietnam was for America...
    13
  1577. I'm black and part of my motivation for college was to be able to live virtually anywhere I want. I raised my kids in the wealthiest enclave I could afford and now that they are going to college, I tell them don't go to any party or bar or picnic or anything with too many AA people. If it is just you and those you know, fine. Once a crowd of AA's you do not know arrives, leave.
    13
  1578. Money and gay rights? The West is richer; you can have more stuff as a Westerner but that comes at a price.
    13
  1579. Everyone except AFU saw that coming. I would love to know how they keep convincing their young men to do these "zergling rush" attacks all year resulting in them being mowed down like grass???
    13
  1580. What a horror; every day in US news I see women going missing/deleted by former hubby, BF, or longtime male "friend". I sometimes imagine a hero like "Superman" whose only mission is to protect women from stuff like this. Then I realize he'd be so busy he'd never have a moment to stop....
    13
  1581. Yeah right. Just read Blinken's statements over the past year on Ukraine and it turned out 80% of his statements were false. He is either a liar, or incompetent, or both.
    13
  1582. If Trump wins he must fire everyone in the State Department and I mean EVERYONE including the cafeteria staff---- all Seventy-seven Thousand of them. How can one department of the government, whose sole purpose is to negotiate treaties and trade agreements, need almost 80,000 people!!! The first Secretary of State, Thomas Jefferson, had a staff of SIX ; and only two diplomatic posts, in London and Paris.
    13
  1583. "100 years ahead"? The aliens gave it to them (but forgot to give them the unobtanium armor for the Leopard tanks).
    13
  1584. The irony.... The US/UK is bombarding Iran's proxies this week while at the exact same time Russia is bombarding the US/UK's proxy, Ukraine in just about the same intensity. Do you think this is coincidence?
    13
  1585. That guy is the STUD of the Russo-Ukraine War (at least for now)!!!"
    13
  1586. I have a (young, early 20s) friend that bought a 2023 CLA 250 and after about a year and a half and 15,000 miles she traded out to a 2024 C300 (since it has a useable back seat). She took an $11K bath on trade in and was very upset about it. When you are 25 you have time to learn that lesson; I'm 48 and I long ago stopped playing that game. If I buy a luxury car it is either CPO or if new only a Lexus or Acura that I know will run for 15 years.....
    13
  1587. The Bear Unleashed. About time
    13
  1588. USA is the one providing all the bombs, the direction and the intelligence, LOL. Israel just the hands, like Ukraine....🤣
    13
  1589. Dam.....Viceroy Zelensky better sign that deal while he still can...."
    13
  1590. Just like 1943: Russia is holding a defensive line, while back in Siberia the factories run day and night pumping out weapons. Once the enemy attack is spent, they go on the offensive with a tsunami of new equipment and the steamroller doesn't stop until Berlin.
    13
  1591. These are the exact same rockets AFU has had for a year, just longer range. Most will be shot down, some will hit. RU will fire twice as many Tornado-S (200 km range) back. Same as its always been.
    13
  1592. Pops looks absolutely LOADED. This isn't actually funny though; every week we see horrific images of innocent people being destroyed by stupid selfish drunk drivers. Do better old man.
    13
  1593. It does seem sometimes that women in general are being wiped out to a degree greater than normal. Not sure if that is truth or just perception
    13
  1594. Of the German brands, Audi is by far the dominant one at the entry level of the performance range. The MB A/CLA class are good, but the S3/RS3 are markedly better; the BMW 2 range just are not even worth considering until you get to the M2. The standard A3 is an excellent car, the S3 has always been somewhat of a "hidden gem", while everyone is aware of the fire-breathing RS3. I personally would save the US $15,000 to $20,000 over the RS3 and get the S3.
    13
  1595. No surprise there; Ukraine also blew up the dam.
    13
  1596. They better hurry. Shoigu just announced AFU lost 80,000 in first quarter 2024. Even if that is only half right, that is Ukraine's entire current field army gone by Christmas.
    13
  1597. YT always deletes my comment from other news sources as to how many bombs are hitting AFU per week----some of these sources are Ukraine MoD itself but still YT deletes it if I repeat the number on any comment. Let's just say even if that number of bombs is only causing ONE casualty, AFU is is taking thousands per month. Remember the smallest FAB-250 has a likely injury radius larger than a basketball court..... Just doing some basic math leaves you with no conclusion other than AFU must be taking an astounding level of losses in 2024...."
    13
  1598. They should worry more about the Wagners in Belarus on their border...."
    13
  1599. My wife didn't play with Barbie, but our 17 yr old daughter did. Whether you played with them or not as a child, Barbie appeals to "girly girls"; it is about time the culture respected that again. They are both very excited; they are going to see it tonight.
    13
  1600. I can't imagine being 8 years old and someone telling me my mommy was dead---murdered. It is incomprehensible to my brain. My mother passed away when I was 39 and I still cried like a baby. Nobody loves you like your mom, and that little boy will now grow up angry and resentful at what was taken from him. Murderers always destroy more lives than just their victims'. Was the United States always filled with this many monsters and we just didn't know?
    13
  1601. A decade ago I would have LOL'ed at any comparison between a Jeep and a Land Rover ( Range Rover?? PLEASE!!!). However, I have to give credit where it is due. Jeep/Dodge are no longer the low quality laughingstock they've been my whole life. When Fiat bought them out of the ashes, they put a global supply chain of high quality parts into those brands for the first time in----well----EVER. ZF transmissions, Bilstein shocks, Bosch electronic controls, etc. the whole panoply of the Fiat parts bin now flowed into what used to be the "cheapo" domestic. Now, Stellantis and their 11M cars a year juggernaut is going to keep that trend going. Let's see how this holds up 6 or 8 years from now for the final verdict; but I'm laughing no more.
    13
  1602. Camry rules; cannot justify passing up the Camry. However, if you just can't stand the Camry, the Altima would be my second choice as the current-gen Accord looks like a late 80s police car.
    13
  1603. When I looked at the map a few hours ago, I thought "and Russia will be counter attacking in 3...2...1". I mean look at that nice deep salient with nothing but open fields to either side.
    13
  1604. Yes but Russia has 600 Su-27s and 200 Su-35s. Flown by pilots with years of training, not months. The idea the US or NATO can just give Ukraine an air Force that can counter Russia is absurd fantasy. A few months in an F-16 just means you will look good while dying. In combat it is acting without thinking, honed by years of experience or training, that saves your life. This discussion is a waste of time.
    13
  1605. Unless you need the off-road (which the Kia has zero capability), you may as well just stick with the Telluride vs. a lower end JGC. The Telluride/Palisade are just SUV bodies on the Sedona minivan platform. At the GC Limited, Summit or higher level though the JGC is in a different class altogether. Massive off-road capability, Best in World ZF transmission. Real luxury trim as opposed to fake. If you put the V8 on there you are two planets apart from any Kia or Hyundai.
    13
  1606. or Gaza City.... They could have at any time but they want to co-exist with the people; Putin's problem is with Zelensky and his nationalists only.
    13
  1607. In 1992, I cut out of class early and me and a buddy went to a Mitsubishi dealer to ogle the new 1992 3000GT VR-4. The salesman smiled as we "oohed" and "ahhed" it with bug eyes. Then I looked at the sticker: MSRP-$30,995 + "market adjustment"-$15,000 = total price-$45,995. In 1992.....that is NINETY THOUSAND DOLLARS today. :-)
    13
  1608. 15 $2M a piece missiles to make one hit on a warship. Thirty million dollars of Western public money gone in one go to damage a warship not even remotely involved in the fight. That affects Russia's ability on the ground not one iota. This is why the money spigot in the US is drying up....
    13
  1609. So? File a complaint. They just got lost...."
    13
  1610. Wagner has requested the US leave the fridge and satellite internet when they move out of the base in Niger...
    13
  1611. I bet the local logistics companies, bars, and cat houses are salivating at the prospect of thousands of hungry and testosterone-rich new customers
    13
  1612. No problem here. Netanyahu makes Putin look like an angel by comparison. US only considers it a "war crime" if the perpetrator is not on their team..."
    13
  1613. "several hundred meters" regained. I don't even know how they say that with a straight face. Several hundred meters in exchange for 150 armored vehicles and 7,000 casualties.
    12
  1614. Yesterday on "Face the Nation" , US Senator Lindsey Graham: "....there are $11T to $12T worth of minerals in Ukraine. We can't let Putin have those, we have to give weapons to Ukraine so that we can have those minerals.." "Democracy".
    12
  1615. In 1985, a movie named "2010: Odyssey Two" came out; the sequel to "2001: A Space Odyssey". In it, World War Three was about to start (between US, Russia and China), and only when a vastly superior race turned Jupiter into a star, did humanity realize how insignificant and foolish they really were, ending the war on the spot. With Iran now emboldened enough to send a guided missile frigate directly into the operational zone of the US Navy, to protect their ally the Houthis (something they would never do if they did not believe Russia "has their back"), 2024 may require alien (or divine---take your pick) intervention after all.
    12
  1616. Trump and Musk told Zelensky last week his services were no longer needed
    12
  1617. I bet France and Germany are looking at UK like "what the ** are you doing??"
    12
  1618. I posted just a few hours ago on another military channel that 2022-2025 is going to be a repeat of 1942-1945 and YT deleted it...." 🤣

  1622. If you look at the units in Kursk, that is like over half of Ukraine's NATO-equipped brigades. This means they have chosen to give up Donetsk and just do fighting retreats there. However in Kursk they just reinforced ; which means that is where Zelensky's priority is. Other than the optical benefit ("...we are on Russian land!"..) what could be worth such enormous sacrifice? Ukraine's leaders are openly chewing up virtually all their NATO supplied hardware and highly motivated men in Kursk. When the units get reduced, they take them out, reconstitute them, then send them right back to Kursk . They aren't moving an inch; they just go there, hide in the forests, and hold on. What is the purpose??
    12
  1623. ...all eyes on Avdeevka while an army group three times bigger gathered and only just three days ago did anyone notice. Avdeevka was the jab....the uppercut is coming
    12
  1624. Well, word is Belorussia is building camps near an existing military base to hold up to 24K soldiers and Wagner is estimated to be at 25K strength. Prigozhin has said for over a year the Russian MoD have bungled this war; now with a base in Belorussia (and Lukashenko fully aware that NATO was planning to overthrow him), maybe he'll get his chance to march to Kiev and show Shoigu (and the World) how its done?
    12
  1625. The mighty Abrams pulled from combat as it is not survivable. What are 100 35 year old Bradleys going to do other than provide targets for Lancet, Kornet, Krasnopol, and KA-52??
    12
  1626. Russian ships pass by and the Houthis just smile and wave....😅
    12
  1627. Sumy. Everyone paying attention knows the third hammer will fall here. AFU has no defenses left
    12
  1628. WHY are French aircraft over the Black Sea?
    12
  1629. Ukraine was given....not purchased.....GIVEN.... equipment that would have made it the largest standing army in Europe. Yet, still they lost....
    12
  1630. Two thoughts: One, I now understand the reports last week of foreign fighters leaving Ukraine. They knew this was coming and they knew they would be very, very unlikely to survive it if they'd stayed. Two, the fact Shoigu is in NK at this moment is not a coincidence.
    12
  1631. Good. Does that include paying all their salaries too? That's the part that really, REALLY bugs me as an American.... How can any man be "independent" when another man is paying his living expenses?? Go ahead UK, take him off our payroll. We've floated the sponger long enough
    12
  1632. Only in the very spots where NATO gave them stuff. They are using home-made drones and IEDs in other areas. Most of their tanks are still T-64 type. Most of their aircraft are old and have ancient avionics tech.
    12
  1633. Who is that guy speaking at the end? Ukraine has no leader
    12
  1634. A whole day evey West channel show same building. Do they all get together beforehand and decide to do things like this?
    12
  1635. If the human wants to drive, buy the Audi. If the human wants software to drive, buy the Tesla. Simple.
    12
  1636. Whatever Putin said during his meeting with Army HQ four days ago must have gotten through: starting the morning after that meeting, Russia has wiped out the Ukrainian Air Force, smashed Ukraine's Kherson landings, overcome stiff AFU resistance in Avdiivka, and easily repelled an armored attack near Robotyne (just in case AFU thought they had to weaken that sector to support Avdiivka). Heckuva "halftime speech" Putin must have given....
    12
  1637. I'd go there and help them rebuild. If there was a construction version of Medicins Sans Frontieres or similar, I'd join up for six months to help.
    12
  1638. Half of that $61B supplemental for Ukraine is money to pay their salaries and keep the country afloat. We will never in our lifetimes see that money again . The other half is for weapons and ammo and only Lockheed Martin / Northrop Grumman stockholders will see that money. The insane part is that no one is even arguing it will change anything in Ukraine, just make it a little harder for Russia to take all these cities they've been taking. Objectively it is a terrible idea...
    12
  1639. Almost two years into this war and still you have pro-Ukraine folks surprised and shocked. Russia has more resources. Much more of everything. More men, more shells, more tanks, more planes, more ships, more bombs, more missiles, more time. What other outcome could there possibly have been?
    12
  1640. Russia has announced FAB-3000 guided bombs are ready for use (so new there isn't even a Wikipedia entry for it yet). 3000 kilograms = 6,600 pounds, lethal radius of up to 1000 meters from impact point. Guided with GLONASS satellite navigation to accuracy of 5 meters of aim point. They will fall like rain on Avdiivka then when that is taken, on to the next defenseless stronghold. They cannot be shot down because, being iron bombs, the shrapnel ejected by AA missiles that can shred aluminum-skinned aircraft just bounces off the thick casing of the FAB series bombs. They are unstoppable.
    12
  1641. At night, when you can see the glowing orb moving...it looks like orbital bombardment from a Star Destroyer, the projectile is moving so fast.
    12
  1642. Putin is the closest thing to a Bond Villan we will ever see in real life. Charming and deadly. 😂
    12
  1643. Was this before or after they launched their Kalibrs and Kinzhals? I have relatives in London so I hope this doesn't escalate, but damn if Downing Street doesn't deserve a Kinzhal or two...
    12
  1644. Even as the war is lost, Sky keeping up with the hopeful propaganda. Belorus used to be called Belorussia.....they are the same. It was two Belorussian Fronts that smashed the Wehrmacht before the Battle of Berlin. Keep hoping for something or someone to do what NATO cannot....defeat Putin.
    12
  1645. That video is incredible. I've never seen a weapon like that and I'm 52. Today with cameras everywhere, the chance of catching something like this is many times higher than the 70s - 90s during peak of the Cold War. I first read about "rods from God" type weapon in 1984 when Reagan announced the "Star Wars" defense initiative. I just saw it this morning in 2024....
    12
  1646. I keep asking them to moderate all the Ukraine bots like you but they treat me just like they treat you...
    12
  1647. Momentous times we are living in. Who will dominate the next 100 years is being decided right in front of us.
    12
  1648. How does it feel being right all along? The mainstream will never give you credit
    12
  1649. A month ago, both sides of the highway heading east out of Kharkiv were full; like a scene from an alien invasion movie. I can't believe anyone would have remained there after seeing that. Zelensky's Summer of Judgement is upon him; NATO's as well.
    12
  1650. Ever since Avdiivka when AFU dug into the landfill there, the idea of fighting in a dugout or trench of human garbage has freaked me out a little. To die in a dugout of earth I can accept; the earth is where we are all going someday anyway. However to be buried by a FAB inside a mound of waste, where your bones won't be discovered for a thousand years, and archaeologists will uncover you and realize you were entombed in trash.... Imagine what a trench in garbage must smell like.
    12
  1651. I know right? Just as Ukraine's offensive has failed, NATO is embarrassed and finger-pointing? Just at Russia's apex, this happens? Too perfect; there is another "hand" at work here...
    12
  1652. "Alexander" The Great.
    12
  1653. LMAO. What did our "intelligence" agencies find after their "investigation" into who blew up Nordstream 2???
    12
  1654. Only three dudes?? When I was a kid in the late 70s they would have maybe one or two hundred guys in their marches.
    12
  1655. Russia keeps sending little reminders that it is "playing with its food" and neither Zelensky nor NATO get the message. The message is: "Whenever you are ready to talk, let me know. Otherwise I can keep up with this game all day long. You keep telling yourself you have a chance, and I keep reminding you that you do not. When you finally hear me. Let me know."
    12
  1656. When Sec Def Austin went to Kyiv last November, they told him they need "$300 to $400 billion dollars, and 7 million artillery shells" to be able to "return borders to 1991 level". That's more 155mm shells than are on the entire earth at the moment. It is also about the time we started hearing rumors Zaluzhny was on the way out. Why? Zaluzhny realized such a "victory" was physically impossible and began leaning more to negotiation. THAT is why Zelensky put Syrsky in....they fight to whatever end....just like Imperial Japan.
    12
  1657. Zelensky has risen more in four years than probably any previous figure in history. From a comedian to Emperor of Europe in about 42 MONTHS! Impressive! It took Napoleon what, about 8 or 9 years to do the same?
    12
  1658. Look at the guys that just took Avdeevka, then look at these people. The DPR troops walking around Avdiivka last week were carrying a combat load that weighs about what that woman does. They put on a brave face; but I'm 100% sure that for every one of them, there are 1000 Ukrainians sitting in foreign lands who see this and say: "Good luck. You'll need it..."
    12
  1659. There is a good reason they sell so many, and the value on these used remains very high. It is just that good.
    12
  1660. This past month the battles have been fierce. Not a day goes by without lots of new combat video on all the various military blog sites. One thing stands out to me: BOTH sides are making fewer and fewer mistakes. The "Bradley Square" from June, with Ukrainians running into each other, hitting mines, getting blown up with ease; that doesn't happen anymore. They are still losing vehicles, but they are losing them while attacking, not because they are jumbled up running into each other. The Russians are experienced, that is obvious. Like the Swedish CV-90s that were knocked out and captured last week...the video clearly shows them attacking and firing, but the RPG round comes from the side, not the front. That means the Russian soldier WAITED until the CV-90 passed him before firing, knowing his round had better penetration chances to the side than the front. FPV drone video shows both sides often fly past a vehicle, then turn around to hit it from the rear as most vehicles have less armor in the rear and ex-Soviet ones in particular carry their fuel in the rear. If NATO sends in their troops, it will be a year of them being slaughtered before they gain the experience necessary to survive.
    12
  1661. When did Russia send assassins into Ukraine to gun down civilian men, women and children?
    12
  1662. YT why even allow comments if you will delete 90% of them?
    12
  1663. Years ago I bought my son a cheap quad-copter drone with an app to control it with your cell phone. It worked OK for a few weeks but then he crashed it one time too many and that was it. He never asked for another one. Little did I realize that 7 years later that toy would become a superweapon...
    12
  1664. The Ukraine farms don't follow all the draconian "climate change" EU laws, while the Polish ones do. So the Ukraine grain is dirt-cheap compared to the Polish grain (meat products too). Of course they are PO'ed.
    12
  1665. Why can't she, she is both, correct??
    12
  1666. Wow. That's great that scientists warned and people actually listened. Imagine no warning this town may have become another Pompeii. In 3100 people will dig it out and discover a perfectly preserved town from the year 2023.
    12
  1667. Putin just said yesterday on State TV "...taking Kharkiv not something we are interested in at this time.." Maskirovka---the original word for trolling. Appear weak where you are strong, and strong where you are weak -- Sun Tzu
    12
  1668. Putin has always fought this war the same way Abraham Lincoln fought the US Civil War; not too fiercely, not too much brutality, not too much scorched earth. Lincoln knew the country would have to heal afterwards, Putin is convinced of the same. However even Lincoln reached a point he had to unleash Sherman because the Confederacy wasn't getting the message...."
    12
  1669. or just take Odessa and drive there himself. 🙂
    12
  1670. That 20% loss rate was a month ago before they switched to infantry human wave tactics.
    12
  1671. Of course Viceroy Zelensky will say "no". He wants to try one more "game changer" with F-16s before giving up.
    12
  1672. With the ubiquity of smartphones and very small low-power video camera IC's, this is the most well documented war ever. There is a vid going around all the summary channel today of a Russian soldier moving from one trench to another all by himself. You can clearly see at least three FPV drones try to hit him but only one got close enough to even cause him to hit the dirt. The crazy thing is he walks like he isn't even afraid of instant death ; two detonate behind him and he doesn't even hurry. You can tell he's carrying a lot of weight but it is hard to tell exactly what it is other than his rifle. The bloggers speculate either AFU drone corps is less experienced due to losses, or the soldier was carrying some kind of personal anti-drone tech causing the drones to go out of control once they got near him. 21st century warfare.
    12
  1673. So in a month when this guy is out of office, who is going to "thank" us for the next pillage of our wallets in September?
    12
  1674. LOL. They are the Nazis...."
    12
  1675. US President in 2028
    12
  1676. Never once did he acknowledge that Ukraine in NATO gives NATO a huge advantage over Russia. The US putting its missiles into Ukraine and the US Navy docked in the Sea of Azov. Never once does he acknowledge neither US nor UK would ever accept an enemy entrenching itself so close to their soil. Never one admission of NATO complicity in creating the situation we are all in. He sounds just like Zelensky; everyone's fault but his.
    12
  1677. RU captured a fully intact T-80A in Avdiivka; that is the Abrams natural enemy. They should send it to meet the Abrams and we can all get a glimpse of what would have happened had they met back in 1988 when they were supposed to.
    12
  1678. Legitimate target. Russia is currently smashing AFU near that town so that place had to be filled with wounded soldiers making it a military target. If a bridge 300 miles from the front can be a "military target" anything can. Actions have consequences Zelensky
    12
  1679. To me, one of his best roles was the soldier in "Glory". He played a black soldier who was born and raised in privilege at a time when virtually no black man in America had such good fortune and initially did not fit in with the other black soldiers for that reason. However by the end of the film, he was a true warrior. Braugher conveyed that transformation very well.
    12
  1680. Zelensky should be arrested
    12
  1681. "We want to make sure that the number of separate wars we are now involved in is accurate"
    12
  1682.  @TinyBlitz8  Shaheds are NOT remote-controlled...."
    12
  1683. I've always believed the T-80 could handle any Leopard 2 or Challenger as those are essentially all 80s era models that more or less cancel each other out. All have APFSDS rounds with tungsten or DU penetrators so they are all capable of killing each other. I'm really excited to see if Ukraine can actually reach a main defense line as I want to see an entrenched T-55 destroy a Leopard 2 or Bradley. That would be really funny.
    12
  1684. Both sides are fighting like lions, on paper one is vastly stronger, but in reality they are closely matched
    12
  1685. I have not heard any Western leader or military person say they can in over a year. We hear "just peace" , "defend themselves" or other euphemisms but "win" has not been used since the defeat of the NATO-trained army in 2023
    12
  1686. Slow and steady wins RUAF, stay the course
    12
  1687. LMAO. MSM is so far behind the military YouTubers. Last night I went to bed one mil blogger said "Ukraine has made three armored thrusts at Robotyne and it appears more vehicles are moving down from Orekhov to support them. Ukraine seems to make a determined attack here." I went to sleep. This morning I opened the news and that same mil blogger said "Complete destruction of Ukrainian Armored Fist near Robotyne". Also it appears Russia fired over 100 cruise missiles yesterday at NATO facilities and Command/Control all over Ukraine---the target map basically covers the entirety of the area near the Polish border. Lastly, the Russian breakout at Lyman has 110,000 soldiers and 900 tanks behind it, while all of Ukraine's best combat power is in Robotyne. Putin is going for the knockout blow.
    12
  1688. I don't think I've ever despised a government official more; 20 years ago I detested Cheney but Blinken has easily eclipsed even him in odiousness...."
    12
  1689. I won't even pretend to understand all this, I'm just glad we don't have another war, more cities in flames, more graves by the hundreds of thousands, etc. In life you don't always get what you want; sometimes you just have to get up and go.
    12
  1690. Scholz today: " there are no German troops in Ukraine, and never will be." Damn right. US and UK cant say the same...
    12
  1691. Nahh, how about boost in negotiating?
    12
  1692. Most modern cruise missiles are programmed to follow satnav "waypoints" determined by armorers and intelligence. Russia likely programmed this one to use Polish airspace to hit the target from a direction its defenses were not facing. Some very new missiles are rumored to be able to make these flight decisions themselves, but we have no idea if that was the case here.
    12
  1693. They don't have any time left, even if they get some more money. Any military person looking at the video on CNN/BBC from there the past week can clearly see AFU are fighting a losing war. Russian tanks drive right past a trench of Ukrainian soldiers (some of them WOMEN!) and all they can do is flatten themselves to not be seen. Their anti-aircraft "training" to shoot down drones was using two Maxim machine guns (yes, from World War ONE) mounted on the back of a pickup. Just yesterday a vid of an M777 being fired that wasn't even entrenched---the gun moved back 20 ft when AFU fired it, the barrel wobbling like a straw. That shell is just as likely to hit Cleveland as Mariupol.... This thing is over.
    12
  1694. Who still uses a pager in 2024??? Also, a pager has no explosive elements inside; who gave them the devices??
    12
  1695. The video from Kyiv yesterday looks like that 80s game "Missile Command"; lines arcing through the sky, booms and circular puffs of smoke, etc. Patriot missile fragments falling into traffic, smashing cars. Surreal. Between COVID and this strange "proxy WW3"; we are living through things that no one would have believed five years ago.
    12
  1696. First mission their best pilot gets smoked? Yet Lindsey Graham on TV in Kyiv last week: "if you're a retired F-16 pilot and want to fight for freedom they'll hire you!" as he laughs...." Yeah go on over there, itll work out just as well as it has for all the other Western mercs..."
    12
  1697. US ones were old too, and were just shells. RU was using RBK cluster BOMBS. Devastate MUCH wider area. Higher dud rate doesn't mean much when the bomb has 10x as many submunitions as a 155mm shell.
    12
  1698. Just don't call this one "unprovoked".
    12
  1699. BBC/SKY avoiding it like the plague (and a photo like the above only confirms they don't want to "go there"), but how much of this loss is due to UK citizens not being on board with the Tories' love for war and desire to conscript citizens to fight Russia??
    12
  1700. Just got the full story. Zelensky went to Odessa to award the AFU forces that did the ship attack last week. There is video of his motorcade in Odessa. The awards were done somewhere near the port facilities, and shocker a Russian drone was watching the entire thing and the Russians knew exactly what Zelensky's itinerary was. When he left the facility where the awards were made, the Russians put an Iskander into it. Suffice to say the AFU special forces that sank the ship have joined their opponents in Valhalla.
    12
  1701. Romania publicly contradicted Zelensky. So, either Zelensky is incompetent, or a liar.
    12
  1702.  @cristiangaban960  Russia has been fighting NATO in Ukraine for two years. Poles are inside Krab artillery, Germans inside Leopard 2s, Americans directing HIMARS and Patriot. Open your eyes...
    12
  1703. Pretty much confirms (as if I needed it) who blew up the Kakhovka Dam. Ukraine knew it wanted to attack through Zaporizhzhia (the shortest path to the Sea of Azov), but if they threw their (only offensive) army there, they would be weak and open to a devastating counter through Kherson. They blew it up so no one could attack through there; mean nothing to them as they weren't going to anyway.
    12
  1704. I have a love/hate relationship with the A6. I had a 2007 for six years but traded out in 2013 because I felt like it was about to blow me out of the water with repair costs. I had a DRL bulb go out and the dealer wanted $400 to replace it. A bulb. $9 for the bulb; $370 in labor + tax. He said it with a straight face like he didn't feel he was saying something absurd. It was great for six years and about 70K miles but beyond that I don't believe it makes any sense to keep them. You are correct however; Audi construction and interior quality is probably among the very best you can get in a mass produced vehicle. A Bentley will have much more expensive materials and tech; but it won't be put together any better than a base A6. You will glide across thousands of miles of country in all weather in serenity and comfort in a big Audi Quattro sedan; they are magnificent. Just don't plan to keep them over 7 years.
    12
  1705. Tik Tok Army from day one. No army in history created a public service announcement before going on the offensive, but AFU did. Even if they knock down a section of the bridge, it won't change a thing and the Russians will just rebuild it like they've done with Mariupol.
    12
  1706. Its their best tank, and supposedly the best tank in the World(tm). Always news when the Rebels take out a Star Destroyer, even though the Empire has 10,000 of them.
    12
  1707. Could they? I mean, Russia is Kinzhal'ing Ukrainian ports all along the Danube River as we speak so...
    12
  1708. Dont walk into the trap Iran!
    12
  1709. Poles don't like it when RU cruise missiles use their airspace as a waypoint to enter Ukraine from directions their defense is not expecting. 😂
    12
  1710. In a time when people are paying $80K for Broncos that you can see the body panels vibrate when you slam the door, paying $80K for this is like getting it for free.
    12
  1711. Does that number include those that died via "suicide by cop"? Watch a few officer involved shooting vids for a few weeks; one thing that will jump out at you very quickly is how often the person shot says "shoot me" before taking an action virtually guaranteed to get them shot. Nobody goes to Church anymore where you can hear some uplifting words or be around people that want to pick you up. Nobody raises their kids with any morals or standards. Anyone under age 35 has been hearing "the world is going to End soon, we'll all die by fire" since their formative years by their teachers. Be it the drug epidemic, COVID, the gun craze, etc., Death, with his scythe, strides among the US population unabated like never before in our history; Reaping lives both guilty and innocent, and our leaders either don't care or are powerless to stop it.
    12
  1712. LMAO. Shoigu (a man of very few words) gets on a call with the French FM, and 24 hours later ALL the hawkish countries publicly howling about going into Ukraine suddenly change their tune. I can't wait to hear what Shoigu said though we won't know until 2030 or so.
    12
  1713. Interesting theory regarding Budanov and AFU strategy; my first thought when I heard was "Commissar Corps". Budanov would seed the AFU with like-minded individuals to ensure no surrender or retreat because now, with Russia on the offensive, the only thing that "beats" Ukraine is a collapse of her defense lines. If their conscripts run away, they are done. Or, they may do both, guerilla warfare AND "blocking" units behind every defense line; I guess we will see.
    12
  1714. Unbelievable what we are seeing. American and German tanks inside Russia with shouts of "we are heading to Moscow!"... Operation Barbarossa Reborn...."
    12
  1715. Every battle Ukraine says "thousands" are killed, yet every video is of dots on the horizon who could be Haitians for all we know. 😂
    12
  1716. more dangerous to AFU pilots than to RU pilots.....
    12
  1717. Honestly, if I heard my controller say "you have the target" I would have thought that meant "shoot it down" too. However, I would have used guns. No need to waste an expensive missile on a fat, slow, defenseless target. A quick burst of the 30mm is all that would have needed.
    12
  1718. The Russian marines picking over the remains of a French AMX10 was really funny; especially when they pointed to the user manual on the ground in the midst of all the debris. They didn't even bother tow it back like they did the Leopards and Bradleys, nothing to learn from a French vehicle...
    12
  1719. So Ukraine just killed that couple in the SUV. That is a war crime.
    12
  1720. 155mm shells, stingers, NASAMS, HIMARS, ATACMS, Bradleys, MRAPs. I mean they will help but RU been fighting all that for years and it never stopped them.
    12
  1721. Same thing in US. Dealers no longer even refurbish trade-ins because they don't have to. I recently went looking for a small car for my teen daughter so I went to Carmax. I was really shocked at the condition of pretty much every 2018-2020 I saw. I was looking at Civic, Corolla, Jetta, or similar. My car is a 2017 with 80K miles and I can tell you my car looked newer than ALL of the cars I saw with 50K miles or less. I mean headlights already beginning to haze on a 2018 and you didn't even bother to refinish them before putting on the lot?? How much could that cost $20?? After a few weeks of seeing the same thing everywhere, I just went to a Nissan dealer and bought a CPO 2021 for her. I couldn't take it anymore.
    12
  1722. I have long wondered where the "line" is in all this. Just yesterday, Putin said in an interview "Ukraine will be demilitarized, and will not be in NATO" Period. So, let's take each side at their word: EU says we are not going to back down. Notwithstanding a possible Trump win, more than half in US support more aid for Ukraine. We know UK is all-in for Ukraine. There you have it: two opposing sides that SAY they will never back down. Two years ago, I laughed off the suggestion of nuclear confrontation as absurd; but today I'm not so sure. I still believe, that in a game of "chicken"; the West will turn away before Putin will, but that's just a belief. All evidence says BOTH sides are willing to go believing the other will blink first. What if neither side blinks?
    11
  1723. Compared to Biden, Putin looks like LeBron James.
    11
  1724. The world economy is global and has been for over 40 years now. If you are paying 30% less, you are getting 30% less. There is no such thing as the "same" for less. Just like a used Toyota is far better than a new Chinese car, a used Russian or EU submarine is way better than a new Chinese one
    11
  1725. If Russia allows that little Robotyne pocket to just sit there for six months while Ukraine slowly fortifies it, they deserve to lose the war. AFU does not have enough forces to stop a pincer attack with two brigades on each side of the "shoulders" of that pocket. It'll cost Russia maybe 5000 casualties but they'll reverse ALL of what AFU has accomplished in FOUR months at the cost of 60,000+ casualties.
    11
  1726. In a time of $38K Corollas, $53K for this sounds like a helluva deal!! That sound!!!
    11
  1727. SKY can we get some vids of the Russian "double tap" missile strikes in Kherson and Kyiv last night? It's all over the non-Western news this morning.
    11
  1728. Yeah whatever. Ukraine has had 10 or 20 chances to negotiate a settlement and they (or their masters in UK / US) always say "no, we want to fight to the death". So death is what they get as death is what they chose. A people should realize when they are beaten...
    11
  1729. So Napolensky's Victory Plan is "give me $50B with no strings attached" Ukraine PM just demanded of G7. LOL. Maybe only $25B of it will actually make it to a weapons vendor...."
    11
  1730. No, this is one guy saying he "interviewed" others. This is NOT evidence. Sorry.
    11
  1731. This is the correct result. Something as complicated as border security/illegal immigration, a thorn in the side of the US for 70 years or more, cannot possibly be "solved" in two months of haggling.
    11
  1732. By 2100 the northern tip of "DFW" will meet the southern tip of "OKC", forming one superurban area called "Texoma"
    11
  1733. $170K is perfectly fine. When the Wal-Mart crowd is driving $90K Dodge Hellcats everywhere you go, if you are a doctor or engineer or SVP you have to stretch for the $150K+ vehicle. How else to justify all the education and hard work you put into your career?? When a guy with no high school is pulling double shifts at Amazon Warehouse, can get a 10-year loan and afford a $100K car, you have to do something to maintain your distance from him.
    11
  1734. Lol, Biden sitting right next to him due to the cluster bombing of people on the beach last week. 😂
    11
  1735. Trump tells it like it is 😂
    11
  1736. just a drone with a fiber-optic cable (hair thin) used in digital communications networks. The cable is spooled out behind the drone as it flies so you have a direct physical connection that is not wireless so it can't be jammed. Bandwidth is also very high so full 4KHD video is easy.
    11
  1737. I chuckle at all these "first snow" vids for modern cars. In 1988, I was 16 driving a 1974 Impala in the snow with no problem. #1 rule: don't go too fast.
    11
  1738. So, Putin was right all the time about the POW plane. TBH, at this point Russian MoD has more credibility than Ukrainian MoD----a lot more.
    11
  1739. Lol you are seriously misinformed. UK itself could not start up and run 300 Challenger 2s today even if Hitler were landing on their shores
    11
  1740. It is really irresponsible journalism for SKY to refer to (and show) an attack in Chernihiv that has now been confirmed to have been on French de-mining troops and Polish military civil engineers, and pretend as if this were an attack on "civilians".
    11
  1741. What really makes this different than all the other cities liberated in 2024 is that Selysove is almost perfectly intact. Hardly any damage as Russia had no need to bombard it, they just surrounded it and AFU had to leave.
    11
  1742. ET and Yoda were apparently hooking up around the same time William was bringing civilization to the Anglo-Saxon barbarians.....
    11
  1743. Russian Navy getting 30 new warships by Christmas. Ukraine getting 0
    11
  1744. I can't imagine why; it sounds like such a wonderful experience.
    11
  1745. US calls for "calm" when Israel presented the plan directly to Joe Biden about half a dozen times before HE approved it for them!! 😂
    11
  1746. We all know this. France a few months ago cried how much grain RU would control if they kept Ukraine. Democracy my behind; it's all about money as usual
    11
  1747. If he's telling the truth, that means he's done with Zelensky and done with Ukraine. He was quoted in the paper two months ago as openly worried "Zelensky was trying to draw the US into a war with Russia"...."
    11
  1748. Putin and Lukashenko are like: "We shall meet in Warsaw!"
    11
  1749. Lol. In 2015 Congressional Aid Packages to Ukraine had language expressly forbidden from any money or weapons going to Azov Brigade. There was obviously evidence then, but now in 2024, with AFU being steamrolled, suddenly no "evidence" of them being Nazis. 😂😂😂
    11
  1750. the reason you don't understand is because you believe its just "one guy". That is why you fail...
    11
  1751. Brits too
    11
  1752. 18 months and you still think Western media has any shred of credibility?
    11
  1753. In 2015 Obama refused to arm Ukraine because he said "Russia has the capacity for infinite escalation. No matter what we give, they can leapfrog that capability resulting in Ukraine never having an advantage and just being destroyed in the process." Obama was the highest IQ President probably since Nixon.
    11
  1754. A city fortified for a decade that must be taken to win the war? The tougher the nut the greater the glory in cracking it. It has been over a century since the Germans cracked the tough-as-nails Belgian forts at Liege, and what it took to finally overcome the Belgians still the stuff of legend.
    11
  1755. Zaluzhny admits the offensive failed and all AFU can do is "stalemate" (unless they get $200B more in weapons). When Generals start telling the truth, that means they are about to be fired.
    11
  1756. He is military so he is fair game. No surprise here. The US hunted down Adm. Yamamoto's plane and blew it out of the sky for the same reason: he's the mastermind of the enemy armed forces.
    11
  1757. Crimea has over 50 Pantsir systems; nothing that flies getting through there
    11
  1758. I have zero problem with this; what are you supposed to do when you capture an enemy in war? Give him coffee and donuts before allowing him to put on a suit before you escort him to the luxury SUV that will take him to the POW camp???
    11
  1759. I haven't watched EVERY Scott Ritter interview, but starting in January I've watched a lot of them. I have not ever heard him say anything that could remotely be called "hate speech". However I can absolutely see them banning him if a Russian person was speaking. CNN and the MSM do not ever print or play any part of Putin's speeches, or any public statements from the Russian MoD. They may report on them (with their own narrative attached), but they will never simply play back their words. In America 2023, anything can be "hate speech". Saying "I am a boy and I like girls" can be "hate speech", or "Ukraine should negotiate a cease-fire" is 'hate speech" on Western media channels.
    11
  1760. Jordan?? My God, are there more than a dozen countries on the earth the US DOES NOT have its finger in??
    11
  1761. Ground warfare in urbanized areas simply does not change over the decades and centuries, no matter the technology. In Fallujah, 10,000 US Marines, with all the advantages of a $600B a year military budget behind them, took two months to defeat 2,000 to 3,000 irregular troops who were dug in on their own turf. The Marines took about 700 casualties, while inflicting about 1500 on the enemy (and capturing the rest). That is only about a 2:1 casualty ratio for a superpower vs. farmers----that shows you how difficult it is to take fortified land from a determined opponent.
    11
  1762. Family issues between Russia and Ukraine. No one else has any business being there
    11
  1763. Russia has defeated Leopard, AMX10, Bradley, Avenger, HIMARS, JDAM, Switchblade, Patriot, CAESAR, Gephard, Excalibur, M777, Stinger, Milan, Javelin, Storm Shadow, and Challenger was prohibited by UK so it's the same as it not being there. None of that can even be disputed.
    11
  1764. Russia is in no hurry, they have the manpower and logistics. It really is just a matter of time for them.
    11
  1765. Does NATO have the "right" to use Ukraine as a forward base against Russia?? I don't think you do..."
    11
  1766. That video is incredible. I've never seen a weapon like that and I'm 52. Today with cameras everywhere, the chance of catching something like this is many times higher than the 70s - 90s during peak of the Cold War. I first read about "rods from God" type weapon in 1984 when Reagan announced the "Star Wars" defense initiative. I just saw it this morning in 2024....
    11
  1767. "Dialogue or Aggression" -- Putin is right, the choice for NATO is simple. We can talk out our concerns, and learn to live together in peace. Or, you can use aggression to try to take everything you want by force, and Russia will resist and you will lose.
    11
  1768. Hahaha!! You're so right! Men hate to admit it but its true. The last time a very attractive woman spoke to me in a bar and it was NOT a "professional" I was about 38. However I honestly don't have a problem with "professionals" now that I'm 49!!! :-)
    11
  1769. Yes I do remember hearing that the 5.0l was being phased out. A BMW engine in this? NO WAY. Give me the I6 all day every day and twice on Sunday!!
    11
  1770. The largest offensive since 1944 is coming; Zelenskys doom is upon him
    11
  1771. Antony Blinken was saying out loud two years ago: "F-16s may help control limited airspace but won't change the outcome at all". This the #1 guy supporting US using Ukraine as a proxy to fight Russia and even he spoke the truth. Saw an article today AFU identifying and preparing highways that can be used for takeoff and landing as they admit F-16s will never be safe at any airbase. Again as we all said would happen a year ago ...."
    11
  1772. Russia only released Azov members who were not found to have committed any "crimes" (according to them). Many of these POWs were taken early in the war in Kherson and were Azov. The ones that were officers or found to have done bad things were given long (20+ year) prison sentences in Russia. These POWs were either cleared or not Azov just regular AFU.
    11
  1773. I've seen parallels to the last days of the Wehrmacht for months now. In early 1945, many Wehrmacht units fired at the Americans only until their ammo ran out. Once it did they surrendered as they felt they'd done their duty. Freshly mobilized AFU conscripts willing to defend only but not attack is no surprise to me.
    11
  1774. Agree with the dissenting families; what's the rush to demolish it? Why not wait until the trial is over? They have a good point that visual perception could possibly be helped by seeing the structure. I'm sure there are terabytes of photos and vids from every angle , but still what is the rush?
    11
  1775. You don't even report the other Russian strikes on storage places for NATO ammunition, TWELVE sites in Kherson alone hit , one of them creating a fireball that looked like a small version of the sun for a few moments. Ukraine is firing one artillery shell for every 10 Russia fires. What are 40 tanks along a 600 km front going to do about that?
    11
  1776. 90,000 soldiers, none of whom have any actual combat experience? Storm-Z would ride these newbies down like grass...
    11
  1777.  @alicjabednarska6590  drones can be jammed, 155mm shells cannot...
    11
  1778. ...and tomorrow morning DW will show RU response and tell us its a school, or maternity hospital, or kindergarten....😂
    11
  1779. That wasn't an Iskander; if it were the shop, camera, and the rest of the city block would have been deleted.
    11
  1780. Ukraine now attacked Russians early warning ballistic missile radars. AFU has no ballistic missiles, so why attack a radar for a weapon you don't have? Things that make you go hmmm.
    11
  1781. undefended ground, while RU taking land from areas fortified since 2014 defended by combat troops. Be honest now..."
    11
  1782. What can Modi say that Zaluzhny, China, the Pope, South Africa, Hungary and a dozen other leaders have said?? Napolensky is NATOs boy; and both he and they are committed to war until one of them is gone...."
    11
  1783. Scott Ritter just WENT to Russia last week. He was interviewed today about strength of Ukraine for the offensive and he said "nine to twelve brigades"; that is what 40K to 60K soldiers? Lines up well with what is said here.
    11
  1784. Ahh the latest and greatest NATO wunderwaffe for RU to figure out a counter to in a few weeks.
    11
  1785. How does the exhaust plume not burn a hole through the bottom of the hull of the ship? A blast like that seems as if it would quickly melt right through the bottom of the ship.
    11
  1786. I really feel sad for this generation. They spend more time fussing about the smartphone part of the car and totally ignoring the AWESOME CAR part of the car. All manufacturers should go back to single DIN AM/FM head unit and be done with it.
    11
  1787. Syrsky apparently told Napolensky yesterday to move units from Kursk back to Donbas to slow the collapse but was denied. Napolensky has tied his (and Ukraine's) future to the invasion of Russia. Just as for his inspiration in 1812; it will be where his dream turns to ashes in his hands...."
    11
  1788. Has US State Dept absolved Israel or blamed it on a "lone wolf" yet??
    11
  1789. The way Russia is taking towns from AFU (with almost no damage!) means the 12,000 North Korean soldiers are much more likely to be training for mine removal, trench fill-in, and reconstruction duties.....
    11
  1790. I can't find anything about the strike on BBC/SKY/Telegraph...."
    11
  1791. Can someone ask him what happened to the largest army in Europe we already gave him a year ago?? Seems reasonable to ask since he's now back demanding we give him another one
    11
  1792. He chose poorly in 2022. No one made him walk away from the deal. Typical loser blames others for his OWN choice
    11
  1793. NATO escalated, Putin escalated in response. Five minutes from launch to impact; NATO will have no warning, no time, no chance.
    11
  1794. That hydro plant not coming back online anytime soon; reports coming in that the turbine and machinery spaces are flooded. Peskov said this morning that the "SMO" is over, and this is a "war" now; the Bear is done playing with its food.
    11
  1795. ABC needs to shut down. We voted against ABC just as much as we did against Harris. Please cease operations...
    11
  1796. He is panicking; no other explanation for him to blurt that out and embarrass himself. It's too late for Ukraine now anyway, even if US approved more aid, the first shell wouldn't get to Ukraine until April. Russia took two more towns yesterday, that's 5 towns in a week. That's why Macron is flipping out
    11
  1797. It seems as if the only way NATO will learn to mind its own business is to be taught a harsh lesson. It isn't 1963; it is 2023 and subject nations are servile no more. NATO is like a fallen Empire that doesn't yet realize its peak is behind it. So it thrashes about wildly, threatening and fighting everywhere at once with no strategy other than to try to bend to its will those who will no longer be cowed.
    11
  1798. It doesn't even matter as Ukraine no longer has the guns to fire the ammo anyway. AFU uses HIMARS 90% of the time because they have no standard artillery to fire; Russia long ago destroyed most of them.
    11
  1799. Ukraine/Russia have been "cousins" since before the time of the Kievan Rus. Ukrainian and Russian princes took the same road to pay their tributes to their Mongol Golden Horde overlords for centuries. They fought and defeated the Wehrmacht together. Now, after 1500 years , a few Nationalists let themselves be convinced by NATO diplomats that they need to be "separate" from Russia. A separation mostly that favors NATO, and they have led their fellow countrymen to disaster as a result. Zelensky has to run around the world and beg, has to watch his army dash itself to pieces, has to have all of Ukraine's public sector salaries and pensions paid by NATO---essentially making him a slave. He has to do all this because what he is trying to do is fundamentally wrong; if it were fundamentally right, it would not be so difficult.
    11
  1800. He got that thug look about him for sure...
    11
  1801. When Putin sided with Shoigu a week ago that Wagner must come under military control (the right decison), I knew Prigozhin wouldn't take it quietly, but I had no idea he'd do this. Yesterday Russian Parliament made it law that private military contractors must be under Military jurisdiction, I'm sure Prigozhin knew he'd have to obey the law and disband his army, or try a Coup d'Etat.
    11
  1802. A stupid end to a stupid war. I've gone through at least three historical references to what this appeared to be from its beginning, over the days it matured, and until now when Zelensky finally began speaking, giving hints to this operation's real purpose. At the start it looked like the Battle of the Bulge, then as more AFU were poured into the salient, maybe the Battle of Kursk was more appropriate as there didn't seem to be a realistic destination like in the Battle of the Bulge (Antwerp). For a time I thought maybe Operation Barbarossa since there was so much NATO equipment; possibly NATO itself was going for the knockout blow using AFU as it's "little green men". Now, based on what we've seen and Zelensky's own words, I think Operation Ten Go is the correct historical reference...."
    11
  1803. Yeah we all know the meat of it: US enters the war and defeats Russia, then shares the spoils with Ukraine. Never gonna happen...
    11
  1804. Not a single airport or bank in Russia affected.....😅
    11
  1805. Coffins with wings
    11
  1806. I clicked but after 90 seconds I cannot take seriously a 30 year old discussing history. I can learn nothing of value here...
    11
  1807. Ukraine just disbanded two brigades that either surrendered or abandoned their positions in Chasiv Yar over the weekend. The End is near...
    11
  1808. The whole point of defenses are to make the price of getting through them too high; so the enemy goes somewhere else, or commits a massive force (taking that massive force away from offensive operations elsewhere). That's it. So, the only way to understand who is "winning" the Battle of Robotyne is to know if the price Ukraine is paying for going forward is detrimental to their war plan, or expected and acceptable. Barring a complete rout by either side, like an encirclement of Ukraine or Russia scatters and runs to Azov, we have no idea. 10,000 troops and 200 vehicles may be the "price" AFU decided getting through this phase is worth. Maybe not. AFU has asked Zelensky for another round of mobilization so that could mean they are losing more troops than they planned or the factored that in from the beginning. We just will not know for sure until the war is over.
    11
  1809. All this and that little troll isn't paying for any of it......I am.....
    11
  1810. ...or BMW...
    11
  1811. So, what you're saying is we should support Ukraine because its a good jobs corps program to enrich Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman? How about that $200M to rebuild Maui, or help Puerto Rico have a good electric grid, or stop the human tsunami on our border, or you know, help us???
    11
  1812. So, Ukraine (which you support) has been receiving US support and training from the United States, and attacking Russia for two years. Do you support Russia, who is aware of the US's involvement, attacking the United States in retaliation???
    11
  1813. Whatever y'all do, don't let any plane with Vicky Nuland on board land....."
    11
  1814. That Iranian guided missile frigate sent to support the Houthis may appear weak and alone, but the moment it meets and sails alongside a Russian warship, it may as well be the HMS Queen Elizabeth supercarrier as it becomes just as untouchable to the US/UK.
    11
  1815. Lt. Col. Daniel Davis, US Army (Ret.), May 1, 2024: 'There is no military path for Ukraine to win this war at any point..." Keep the Cope Channel going though! Don't let reality stop you feeding raw copium to the 846,000 chum-gulpers that pay your bills. 🤣
    11
  1816. "Wobbly" lol. Try "disastrous self-immolation"
    11
  1817. Near Pokrovsk, RU captured a unit banner of the 82nd Brigade, the one named after the US 82nd Airborne Div. of WW2 fame; very, very embarrassing for AFU...."
    11
  1818. Remember 18 months ago, when BBC and CNN would run slick articles about those who were "volunteering to fight for Democracy" (who never seemed very motivated to fight for it in the ME or Africa), and sending them off with roses and kisses?
    11
  1819. BS. This guy is desperate because his choice at Istanbul has doomed him. Not our problem, never was our problem; Ukraine should learn to live in peace with powerful neighbors like any other country the past 8000 years. He says "give me 25 Patriot systems and batteries"; oh yeah? Just $50 BILLION to you for free just like that? You can take the man out of the comedy club, but you can't take the comedian out of the man...
    11
  1820. Where's that guy who said yesterday i was lying about Kupyansk?? 😂😂😂
    11
  1821. Bigger and faster washing machines. 😂
    11
  1822. In Spain, 90 percent of the crime is someone picking your pocket at touristy locations, or taking "donations to upkeep this historical thing" (and the person is just a con artist). Violent crime is extremely rare. If your wife "disappears" in Spain, you did it...
    11
  1823. What the? The C-Pillar ripped straight from the new Caddy CT5?? Oh well a least it looks 100x better than the current one.
    11
  1824. Two years ago it may have been a legitimate military target, but for the past year it is 100% a "PR" target to get headlines in CNN and BBC. Russians long ago knew it was a single point of failure in their logistics so they built up the rail network in DPR/LPR and they hardly need the bridge for military traffic. Mostly tourists going to the beach in summer use it.
    11
  1825. inside France. Where else would they be?
    11
  1826. LOL. "Romance". That woman is 100% "WORKING GIRL". 🙂
    11
  1827. This is an excellent example of misinformation ; watch and learn kids!
    11
  1828. FAB-3000 strike: "....nothing special just regular military activity...." A 6600 lb. guided bomb obliterates some number of AFU and its hardly worth making a note of it.... THAT is the measure of how far RU has come in the past year..."
    11
  1829. 26 comments, only 11 visible. All I said was "Prigozhin and his Wagners beat xxx NATO trained army xxx" That is all. YouTube deleted it. 😂
    11
  1830. oh the End is near....
    11
  1831. Our country needs a superhero. It seems like evil has gone unchallenged so long, it has metastasized; more killers and more depraved ones than ever before in history.
    11
  1832. I'm glad only CNN people believe this horseisht....
    11
  1833. Lol look at all those military apartment buildings 😂
    11
  1834. This reminds me of when Stalin was first told Operation Barbarossa had begun, he didn't believe it because he had a non-aggression pact with Germany. 80 years later, Russia again caught off guard by an enemy from the West suddenly changing their policy towards them.... History repeats. Always does."
    11
  1835. I am just one step from flat out calling AFU leadership, Zelensky and his nationalists, idiots. No Military Academy teaches officers to allow themselves to be encircled and AFU just sits there for months as the pincers close around them, then rushes in fresh troops (who get shredded) and they lost the city anyway. In 1871, France lost the Franco-Prussian war and gave up Alsace-Lorraine (which was a HUGE blow to them---same as losing Crimea is to Ukraine). They gave it up; they didn't throw a million men away when it was clear they'd lost. Guess what? 40 years later they had the opportunity to get it back (and many of the men who would have been lost needlessly in 1871 were there to help take it back). Someone convince me AFU are not led by morons....
    11
  1836. Awesome! I've loved air shows since I was 8 back in 1979. I don't care about politics; I love the planes and China has done very well in the past 40 years.
    11
  1837. Love this lady! Pure, no BS....you know where you stand with her. 😂
    11
  1838. I haven't owned a 5er since I sold my E34 525i to my buddy in 2000. I was very close to grabbing a 2021 530e when the Fed and State tax credits were taking $10K off the price of it (making it cheaper than a 530i), but the State one ran out before I could buy and I didn't bother. This one is thankfully not a brutishly ugly armored vehicle like the new 7, but it is definitely not tastefully elegant like the current one. I'll pass...
    11
  1839. Ukraine does nothing without US and UK approval
    11
  1840. OMG truth!! Ford Bronco is built like a $20K car-----paying $80K for it is beyond my ability to comprehend. You never go wrong with Lexus but the RX is now $70K---no way. Genesis is only a good deal if you get them under MSRP----its a Hyundai/Kia after all. Jeep is Jeep---been that way for decades. Now, the Porsche of them all that one (if you keep it long enough) will eventually smooth out what you overpaid. The Macan / Cayenne just hold value like crazy and always have.
    10
  1841. A few years back I had a 2012 Buick Enclave with about 90K miles I felt (what I later learned was torque converter shudder). Never had that before in any car I had and was thinking "ok let me just change the fluid". I DIY the fluid, just pop out drain plug and when it stops dripping, put it back and put in the same amount that came out. It got better for a while, but at 130K miles the shudder was back and I was about to get rid of the car soon so I just put a couple of bottles of Lubegard shudder fix in there, and within a few hundred miles the shudder went away. Gave it to my daughter and it now has 190K miles on it; she came over the other day, I took it out for a beer run to see how it was holding up, shifted like butter. 🙂
    10
  1842. So they finally got some from that huge collection that guy had in Belgium? I bet he made a HUGE profit. Note to self: when obsolete war machine go on fire sale, buy all you can. Someone will need them someday. Weapons are the greatest single investment any human can make.
    10
  1843. Bell is more at home in this scenario; when the opponent is so weak pretty much anything he says is likely true. On Russia, he's been wrong 90% of the time because they actually are strong enough to fight back on even terms.
    10
  1844. I posted that Mig-31 shot down a Global Hawk yesterday and YT deleted it..."
    10
  1845. I love how their people were "convicted" in our courts and its legit, but all our people convicted in their courts are "unjust". As a child of the 80s I kind of missed the Cold War-----glad to see it has come back..."
    10
  1846. Usual suspect....

  1847. The African continent has to handle countries that get out of sorts by itself. The leaders like Algeria, Egypt, Nigeria, Botswana etc. must step up like France and Germany did 150 years ago. Yes, that very likely may mean wars among them, but that is the process they have to go through just like Europe did. Anything is better than ignoring the problems in your own yard and then the treacherous EU or Americans come in to "help".
    10
  1848. Unbelievable how one sided the media is, "damage" to what exactly?
    10
  1849. Good! Recruit and hire Americans! I know its been 80 years since employers really tried, but they can do it.
    10
  1850. I bought a 1991 NSX in 2003 and nobody even knew what it was. Matt was like 15 or something at that time and little did I know a whole generation was coming up behind me that would make the NSX desirable. The NSX was NOT a sales success when it came out, it won lots of car magazine praise but no one bought one. Even 12 years later in 2003, it was a car for hard-core JDM nerds only; I sold it after three years for the same as I paid. Now look----an NSX is rolling gold.
    10
  1851. I laugh at how the West trembles at the very mention of the name "Wagner". However, they earned their street cred: they defeated a NATO army in the largest urban battle since World War 2. You cannot overstate that.
    10
  1852. About a year ago I was considering moving from Dallas to Las Vegas but after a year of reading the news from Nevada I'm glad I didn't. I think I'm going to my 2nd choice; Kansas. Nice, boring, and safe.
    10
  1853. LOL. Zelensky wants to make sure Ukraine doesn't get nuked.
    10
  1854. Time to pay up!
    10
  1855. This is the Steamroller we've all been waiting for. Just like in 1943, it will take time----the storming of Berlin didn't begin until April, 1945. I expect similar here; by Spring 2025 half of the area now in yellow on the battle map will be red, Odessa and Kyiv taken, and Zelensky either dead or in exile in the US or UK. It is unavoidable; Russia has 10 x more of everything and after today's massive airstrikes on EVERY AIRPORT IN UKRAINE, AFU is down to less than 50 operational planes. This war is now just math and time....
    10
  1856. But Mom got that "Freedom" from having to be married those feminists in the 1970s fought so hard for!! She is FREE! Free to do whatever she wants, wherever she wants, with whomever she wants! No cooking, no cleaning, no mothering, no making a martini for hubby, etc. It's HER world, and we are just living in it!! Well done!
    10
  1857. A Lancet costs about $500 USD; probably more than the decoy cost (especially if it was made in the West). Russia still wins. 🙂
    10
  1858. Putin said today that 2023 is "year zero". NATOs one-horse rule for 30 years is over; a new horse has entered the race.
    10
  1859. Do any of our allies, anywhere and at any time....actually pay for the weapons they get from us??? Taiwan looks like Customer Appreciation Day at Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman. Have they ever paid for any of it at all??
    10
  1860. Problem between those two countries. US/UK must mind their own business; we are voting Trump in to take the US out of the "global cop" role its had for 75 years. UK can go on trying to do it by itself....
    10
  1861. vs. Ukraine, they are....
    10
  1862. I would love for just one NATO fan to explain to me how they think this will end in their favor.
    10
  1863. "One does not simply walk into Mordor..." 🙂
    10
  1864. PR mostly. Hitler sent THREE MILLION in that direction 80 years ago and lost. Zelensky only sent 8 brigades with 4 more in reserve..."
    10
  1865. I don't see how the US and Russia going full speed ahead trying to outdo each other in a conventional war can possibly lead to any result other than disaster.
    10
  1866. Zelensky-bots: "Those were decoy vehicles and decoy troops!!"
    10
  1867. He can have permission to fire into Russia, if Russia has permission to fire the nucs back into Ukraine and not on us. That's fair...
    10
  1868. That Hydro plant not coming back online anytime soon; I hear the turbine and machinery spaces are flooded.
    10
  1869. Very similar happened here in Plano about a month or two ago. It isn't 2004 , it is 2024. DFW had about a 25 year run of being the "sweet spot". Good economy, good jobs, not too many people, not too much crime. That is over forever now; DFW, Houston, SA and Austin will all be varying levels of Los Angeles in about 20 years.
    10
  1870. This one actually has showed up in Western Media amazingly enough. RU must have hit something really, really important for CNN/BBC/SKY to report it...."
    10
  1871. Six Patriot systems is $8.5 billion Not even the US has that just sitting between the sofa cushions
    10
  1872. Everything you say about the quality and detail is true. I have a 2011 Jag XJ and I can't get rid of it because Jag no longer makes a replacement and the only V8 cars that have equivalent quality are $125K or more. I like sedans; SUVs don't work for me. Once you sit on high end leather, the cheap stuff in lesser cars won't do. I like everything about the LS except that V6. I can't give up my V8 for a V6. Toyota puts the V8 in the LC, RC, and now even the IS but not in the LS???? Grrrrr. That is the only thing preventing me from buying the LS.
    10
  1873. No wonder no one really knows the count of AFU's true losses....you'd have to have something to count..."
    10
  1874. Zelensky visited Kharkiv sector today and supposedly spoke to all commands to ask how long they can hold. The rumor is he may be ready to see the light. Even if the money passed today, the first shell wouldn't arrive until mid April. By then Russia will, not may, will be at or near the Dnipro west of Donetsk. These channels called the Zaluzhny firing back in December, so I hope the rumors are true. Land can be recovered in the future, human life cannot
    10
  1875. So.....drones. As a kid I was fascinated by the idea of aliens (friendly ones) visiting us like in "Star Trek". As an adult I realized two things: #1. The Universe is so vast beyond imagining that even if we built a starship Enterprise right now, we would have no idea where to send it to find life, and even if we did that life could----even at Warp 10---take longer than a human lifetime to reach. #2 If aliens could do #1 and find us, we'd appear to be little more than unusually smart worms to them. Nature has no moral code; they'd either eat us like pork chops or exterminate us like roaches. UFOs = are man-made. ALL of them.
    10
  1876. Guardians of (our) Purse is more like it...
    10
  1877. I bet all the logistics companies, bars, and cat houses are disappointed....😅
    10
  1878. ...and just in today, news that Ukraine is now retreating from Robotyne/Verbove area. The ONE place they managed to carve out a toenail of territory with the $20B NATO army last summer. In about 7 weeks the Russians have now reversed virtually every gain in Zaporizhzhia and near Bakhmut that Ukraine made over the past six months. This $250M is utterly wasted but hey, it was allocated so fine go ahead and give it to them to stave off their defeat for another week or two. However, NO MORE MONEY. THEY LOST. DEAL WITH IT.
    10
  1879. Will you be with them?
    10
  1880.  @neeldani7450  Hell effing no, I've been against this stupid war from December, 2021. You go do you...
    10
  1881. No one asked about the Army Rangers along with Canadian and Polish special forces unalived trying to cross into Russia yesterday?
    10
  1882. Just the paroxysms of a dying Empire that doesn't know its peak is behind it.
    10
  1883. Good reason to tell your boss no more in office for you; work from home only.
    10
  1884. Just saw a report that we are getting a new USS Arizona (a submarine). Many of the legendary names are coming back in new ships the past five years: Dreadnought, Warspite, Mogami, Mikuma, Canberra and now Arizona. Fitting, just in time for them to fight in the new world war...
    10
  1885. I'm sure Russia will give this UN condemnation the exact same attention Israel gave to all the ones they've collected the past month....
    10
  1886. CNN had an article up almost immediately yesterday on this playing that same video. We still haven't seen CNN's article from the Fall of Bakhmut and that took place on Saturday. 🙂
    10
  1887. Maybe take the weapons out of the "aid" and he'd support it? He is trying to stop an unwinnable war; one that Zelensky is so far gone he cannot stop it himself.
    10
  1888. One good thing to come out of this, this mouthpiece channel of absurd propaganda will go silent forever...
    10
  1889. Remember a few weeks ago some bright star in the Ukrainian MoD decided to have a military drone show with officers and industry engineers? In a war zone? Russia wasn't invited, but attended anyway via Iskander-M 😂😂
    10
  1890. LOL. The fight is now 52 vs. 2 , after two years of 52 vs. 1 and the 52 are whining about it... 😂😂😂
    10
  1891. He's right (as usual). RU economy not only withstood the sanctions, it is growing faster than all advanced economies per IMF. Today's BRICS Summit is 20 countries seeking freedom from the US chain around their necks; they deserve it. If the US ever was a good steward of the world, that time has passed....
    10
  1892. The new President of Ukraine is in Belarus waiting for the right moment to return
    10
  1893. If he were from a NATO country, Lavrov would be considered a TItan among Men by Western media. That guy has forgotten more about the history of the world than most NATO diplomats ever knew. He often tells THEM the history of THEIR countries!!
    10
  1894. That's why Vicky Nuland showed up in Kyiv a couple days ago. Remember she's the American "world builder" that started all this 10 years ago; she arrived to save Zelensky.
    10
  1895. If you are discussing building a migrant shelter, you have already lost. You build one for 500 beds, next year 5000 show up. You bulid one for 5000 beds, next year 25,000 show up. You can build an entire second version of Chicago and next year they'll fill it.
    10
  1896. Joe still hasn't learned; he's rushing in the Abrams next month. The Abrams is "mighty" only in the minds of Americans. It has NEVER once been tested in battle with a near-peer opponent; it has only fought ancient Iraqi tanks and militia with rpgs and IEDs. It has never faced T-80s, T-90s, Kornet atgms, attack helicopters, drones, 152mm laser-guided artillery.
    10
  1897. "courage" with no objective means to do anything is known as "insanity"
    10
  1898. That guy has a really difficult job. He just argued---with a straight face---that if your neighbor walks across the street and smacks you in the face, you have the right to defend yourself, but it wouldn't be "productive" for you to do so...."
    10
  1899. No, we US taxpayers not going to fight Russia for you. Go negotiate. No more of our money...."
    10
  1900. Today is a decisive day. Ukraine has reached the first "observation line"; about 5km from the first actual defense line; the area made famous as "Bradley Square". This is in Zaporizhzhia near Robotyne, which is in the Tokmak defense sector. This is probably the most heavily fortified area in all of the annexed areas, and one of the four most likely attack routes everyone estimated a year ago. There are five defense lines in front of Ukraine; they have not yet reached the first (5km from it). The Lancet drones here are so numerous they fill the sky like flies. The mines are so thick, you could walk from Orekhov to Tokmak without getting any dirt on your boot. Artillery here falls like rain; and the Krasnopol laser-guided shells can hit a single vehicle from 25 miles away. The Ka-52s and Mi-28s, unbothered since Ukraine has no air force, now have new LMUR missiles with 15km range, even better than the 8km range of the Vikhr missiles that murdered the Ukrainians back in July. Behind all this, sit hundreds of T-80BV3 and T-90M tanks; ready to pounce upon whatever survives the Dantes Inferno described before. Not with 500,000 men could Ukraine do this; it is folly.
    10
  1901. Wow, I never knew Europe had an Emperor again; wasn't the last one Napoleon?
    10
  1902. I can't think of a statement less likely to be the truth than one made by Ukraine about Russia. LOL.
    10
  1903. This, I don't doubt. Optics has always been a strength of Western equipment, though Globalization has narrowed that gap immensely over the past 30 years.
    10
  1904. It is "Spring, 1945" in Ukraine; the battles still rage, but everyone knows the outcome....."
    10
  1905. The "estranged husband" is the guy 99% of the time, no?
    10
  1906. Meanwhile in Lyman and Zaporizhzhia Russia is hanging truly astounding losses on Ukrainian infantry. As reported in the WSJ, "we send 60 men in, 45 don't come back".
    10
  1907. Had a lot of them in the primaries both for DEMs and GOP. They lose. People don't want them.
    10
  1908. If you have to ask.... Putin just got 88% of vote. Half of Ukraine is currently in the dark. AFU is building trenches near Kharkiv by hand. Three entire Russian Army Groups sit in the NE and E and just wait for Shoigu to give the word. What do you think??"
    10
  1909. NATO hasn't panicked this much since March, 2022....
    10
  1910. TOS-1a Solntsepyok - "Scorching Sunlight".... commonly called "flamethrower"
    10
  1911. Ukraine's air defenses are down; many destroyed, those that remain low on missiles. That is why Tu-95s and Tu-160s are now showing up.
    10
  1912. This Winter, the "snow" that will fall on Ukraine will be 3,300 lb high explosive snowflakes.
    10
  1913. 400+ missiles and like 10 fatalities. With that many weapons IDF would have unalived tens of thousands....*
    10
  1914. Whenever you show the updates for a week or month the entire war picture becomes clear. Almost every blue icon in Russian territory is an FPV drone icon, with a small number of artillery shell icons. One the other side of the front line, there are three times as many red icons, and the vast majority are "mushroom" clouds, missile, or artillery shell icons; so many that the FPV drone strikes are almost completely obscured. Russia's firepower dominance is unmistakable.
    10
  1915. LOL. Talk about having no future. These guys are like the Vichy French that fought for the Nazis. After the war they had to go to Argentina or something...
    10
  1916. Ask yourself and be totally honest: Of the three, Joe Biden, Donald Trump, or Vladimir Putin....excluding nationality and just going by the merits of the man, which would you rather have as your leader?
    10
  1917. Your point about the weight is exactly what was on my mind a few days ago while I was running around in my Alfa Giulia. I know the next one will be EV-only, but I can't for the life of me figure out how they'll make it handle as well as the current one when it is 1500 lbs heavier than it should be. Active suspension tech just increases the weight even further and eliminates the analog feel that makes sports cars----"sporty". With all the downsides to batteries; the geopolitics, the fires, the old car parks in NYC that will collapse, etc. I really see the ICE staying with us indefinitely via hybrids, synthetic fuels, hydrogen combustion, and whatever else the smart people can come up with. There is just no "free lunch" in Nature.
    10
  1918. "American leadership is what holds the world together"???? I think I vomited in my mouth a little...
    10
  1919. No pictures of the hits??
    10
  1920. This is like that scene in "Bourne Legacy" come to life. Crazy times we living in.
    10
  1921. Starmer chose foreigners over his own people; he is going the way of Liz Truss...."
    10
  1922. Russia does not (and will not) have a money problem. I don't know if they can beat all of NATO, but they will not lose because of not having money. America admits the sanctions do not really prevent Russia from supporting its military.
    10
  1923. Wow! At age 98, she was probably one of the teenage girls waving at the young German soldiers when the Ukrainians let the Wehrmacht pass through there in 1941...
    10
  1924. Yeah, I'm with most on here; if those dots are NK troops because Zelensky says so, that mean nothing to me. ANY other evidence to back it up? I mean, I WANT to believe it, because we all been waiting two months to see what NK troops can do, but if the only source is Ukraine that is no source at all.
    10
  1925. So, when you join EU, you are no longer allowed to think for yourself. Understood..."
    10
  1926. This is a perfect example of why Russia started a new offensive near Belgorod region yesterday. A few months ago Putin said Russia would establish a 15 km "buffer zone" along the border to keep Belgorod and border towns out of range of Ukrainian artillery. Belgorod is too close to the border, allowing AFU to get close enough to use rockets and missiles. With a 15 km buffer zone, most standard artillery, rockets, etc. will not be able to reach Belgorod. That operation began yesterday.
    10
  1927. I'm really amazed the T-62 is still a useful weapon of war after all these years. It and the T-64, covered in ERA, with a cope cage, is still a potent weapon that no army can ignore.
    10
  1928. I support Russia.
    10
  1929. IDF: "Why Russia leave so many buildings still standing?"
    10
  1930. That Carrier Strike Group actually has now entered the range of kinzhal missiles fired from the Black Sea.
    10
  1931. Why do the choice of three million people in Crimea and the Territories not matter to you? They chose Russia; and Zelensky attacked them. They asked Russia to come in and help them so it is only "illegal" to you and you are a foreigner whose opinion doesn't matter.
    10
  1932. Slava Rossiya!
    10
  1933. What label will the West Media hang on this person??
    10
  1934. To me the Camaro and Mustang handle too well to really be "muscle" cars. The Challenger is in a class of its own, imho. My problem is I need about $250K to buy a Hellcat, GT500, and ZL1...I want all three!! 🙂
    10
  1935. No war. How would that have been "bad" for Ukraine?
    10
  1936. This guy.... May 21st can't come fast enough when he won't be President anymore. The "systems" that protected Israel were the US Air Force, Navy, and Royal Air Force , sorry Zellie, those "systems" aren't going to Ukraine----ever.
    10
  1937. Ukrinform is on the level of the Iraq Minister of Information from 1991.
    10
  1938. Why does the West respect this vote, but not the vote (for almost four straight years) of the people living in Crimea and Donbas??? Hmmmm......
    10
  1939. Whether he is dead or not, Prigozhin wrote himself into the history books as he was behind not just one, but TWO World-changing events. He admitted he ran a PsyOps troll farm that influenced the 2016 US Presidential election (and he said he'd do it again). That effort helped Donald Trump win over Hillary Clinton, when 99% of the planet believed Clinton was a shoo-in. That certainly changed the world (and is still affecting the world). Recently, Prigozhin of course led Wagner to defeat NATO forces in the Battle of Bakhmut; the largest urban battle in 80+ years. Not only did Wagner defeat Ukraine's Army, he actively goaded Zelensky into ignoring the advice of his generals and sending legion after legion of reinforcements to prevent Bakhmut's loss, when the city had very little tactical or strategic value to Ukraine. This victory, inflicted 40,000 causalties on Ukraine, using up men and materiel that right now could be used in Luhansk or Zaporizhzhia to much better strategic effect. Prigozhin may have won the battle that won the war; which will absolutely change the world. Not bad for a 60 something caterer...
    10
  1940. LOL. Kursk is a "vacation" you don't ever return from...."
    10
  1941. Just heard YouTube (Google) shut down Scott Ritter's channels, saying he was spreading "hate speech". I think he had just put a Russian guy on there to interview the last few days. That's right. Just HEARING from a Russian is now "hate speech" in the United States. Oh well, Col. MacGregor hasn't been silenced (yet).
    10
  1942. If you are a Ukrainian, what are you fighting for? Midway was last summer, but you are in Okinawa now (and the Yamato was sunk last week). Why you fighting? You don't have an Emperor??
    10
  1943. There is no $60B coming from US, Republicans made that clear this week. American papers have said since December they estimate Ukraine has two months until they run out of shells and CNN article this week showed AFU only having smoke shells to fire near Bakhmut
    10
  1944. Not needed; the 150K already there seem to be doing just fine.
    10
  1945. My guess is the fact AFU has no artillery to fire is something Russia could exploit. FPV drones carry no more than a 60mm mortar and you can see it coming allowing you to hit the dirt. By contrast, 155mm artillery can wipe out a dozen men at a time. If you are spaced out, your artillery is falling on your opponent, and all they have is FPV drones, you can take huge chunks of land before you are in mortar range. If the weather is bad, or you have EW to suppress drones, you may not even take any casualties in the first few hundred meters.
    10
  1946. Here is comes on Monday. Biden will demand Congress approve $10B of our tax money to put solar panels all over Ukraine. Meanwhile my born-and-raised American citizen daughter got into an $80K a year University, but can't go because even with scholarships paying $45K of it, I can't afford it. Thanks for taking care of who is important Joe!! Gonna show you my thanks here soon in November!!!
    10
  1947. This fool thinks its still 1983
    10
  1948. He just said Russia will only agree by force. Who gonna apply that force?? Don't say Ukraine..... please.....more men in their army are 60 than are 30. NATO?? Hahaha.... NATO is the United States and ain't a snowballs chance in He11 of us sending our kids to war for Ukraine 😂
    10
  1949. 50 vs 1 and they are winning? 1 on 1 , UK would lose to Russia in two weeks...."
    10
  1950. BBC and these "human interest" close up stories while RU is absolutely crushing AFU on all fronts. The unstoppable steamroller is doing exactly what we said it would a year ago. My only sorrow is that the millions of Westerners who enabled and supported this disaster will not share AFU's fate...
    10
  1951. Israel. Seven million people that have brought Eight Billion other people to their knees. The "Chosen Ones" indeed...."
    10
  1952. When I was 13, pretty much any kid whose father had a gun could put his hands on it if he really wanted to. Yet, school shootings were unheard of, and in the summer, there were so many kids at the Mall you had to walk sideways. No shooting. Not even a stabbing. Even a fistfight was rare. What has changed??
    10
  1953. I would totally get a GLE 350 over this. The interior in the GLE is an echelon above even the highest trim GLC.
    10
  1954. Tactically this matches what all the other mil bloggers I follow have said of the situation, though only this channel specifically called out active RU attack on one of the flanks. Robotyne has looked like a trap to pretty much everyone paying attention for almost a month now, but RU simply hasn't chosen to try to "spring" the trap. Maybe not enough AFU inside it to justify the losses closing that trap will surely cause?
    10
  1955. This guy is a future Elon Musk of mercenary services. Wagner PMC is now worth billions on the global market. They fought a NATO supplied army and WON.
    10
  1956. We must vote for Donald Trump. Eight years ago, Isolationism was a "nice to have". Today, it is a critical requirement-----We The People have got to get these warmongering psychopaths on either side of the aisle OUT OF POWER FOR GOOD !!
    10
  1957. China be like: "what you mean? We ship all this fiber optic cable to Russia for their strong, and growing mobile data and Internet capacity needs." 🙂
    10
  1958. I was surprised by the serious play for Bakhmut. What does regaining that pile of rubble do about Crimea?? The Russians would just use the very same buildings they cleared and this time Ukraine would have to clear them taking months and thousands of casualties.
    10
  1959. The largest offensive since 1944 is coming for Zelensky. We are going to see a summer for the history books
    10
  1960. Yet never once does NATO say: "okay, okay....we won't ever put the missiles currently in Poland into Ukraine like we planned". Would end the war just by saying that publicly...
    10
  1961. He had 75% of what he wanted in Istanbul in 2022; but it was 0% of what the US and UK wanted so they whispered in his ear and made promises which lured him into believing they could enable him to get that other 25%. Zelensky has no one to blame but himself...
    10
  1962. Dont cry now....nato bots were laughing two weeks ago."
    10
  1963. No pic of the girl? She must've been a 10 to be worth all this...
    10
  1964. All these recent UFO sightings; are the lizard-men going to stop us before the world burns, or just watch and let it happen??
    10
  1965. We are at the point it is unsafe for any female under the age of 50 to ever travel anywhere alone. When my wife of ten years is with me; nothing and I mean NOTHING happens. When she isn't, she can't go to the grocery store or gas station without a man saying something to her or approaching her (one even tried to take the gas pump out of her hand saying 'let me help you with that'!!). The more things change, the more they stay the same....
    10
  1966. ...and after every US air raid, the Houthis fire more missiles back.
    10
  1967. The video of the Kinzhal hits last week coming out are amazing. They are glowing plasma-sheathed bolts from the sky that literally look like turbo laser shots from a Star Destroyer
    10
  1968. Not sure this is truth or propaganda. Kurakhove and many of the cities that have fallen in recent weeks in Donetsk look almost perfectly intact. There is almost no rubble or destroyed buildings. While cities that were first assaulted last Spring like Chasiv Yar and Kupyansk are in total ruins. If RU is using more glide bombs, they aren't using them in the South...
    10
  1969. Next Western media channel to say "far-right" gets their HQ GPS coordinates sent to Putin for an Iskander strike
    10
  1970. took the words right out of my mouth! The name "Nuland" was actually on my lips before I even finished Zelensky's sentence...
    10
  1971. "There are no American tanks in Baghdad! (sound of Abrams tanks firing in background) -- 1991: Iraqi Information Minister
    10
  1972. RU long ago moved their aircraft out of range of Storm Shadow. If US/UK allow it, what Zelensky gonna shoot them at? Apartment buildings in Moscow??
    10
  1973. How do you "sanction" the warden of a Russian prison??? Freeze his numbered Swiss bank account?? Hilarious.
    10
  1974. Russia has bombed Ukraine many times before, but last week was different judging by the reactions in Ukraine, UK, and US. I mean two days later US Adm. Kirby is up there with maps and charts and blaming North Korea?? US never had such a public reaction to an air raid before, even when Odessa was being bombed every other night for a few weeks. Whatever Russia hit on Dec. 29 - Jan. 2 was very important, and its loss hurt Ukraine very, very deeply.
    9
  1975. Right when Prigozhin is staging his master performance?? Something big is about to go down and it wont be what anyone expects....
    9
  1976. Mastery of the ICE is really, really difficult. It takes mastery of engineering, metallurgy, manufacturing, chemicals to build a completely "native" ICE. Very few countries have this capability across those sectors. That is part of the reason China pivoted so quickly to BEV; they knew they would never be able to catch up to Germany, Japan, or US in ICE.
    9
  1977. No wonder Zelensky suddenly flew back to US just 5 days after being there. He knew this was coming and one if those missiles had his name on it
    9
  1978. 1150 sq. km. of a country 17,000,000 sq. km.... It is that kind of sycophancy the West Media has shown him for almost three years that put him in this position. No one will tell him the hard truth....
    9
  1979. STILL no major US news site has this story up. I think they are hoping Zelensky changes his mind (again). Or Vicky Nuland calls him and changes it for him...
    9
  1980. ...and the entire armored column was completely annihilated. 😂
    9
  1981. Yeah 25 cabinet members all resign at the same time; happens every day..."
    9
  1982. I believe that his statements to this effect forced Ukraine to rush into an offensive at Kursk and other places they've tried and been repulsed. They know that without the US, they have zero chances so they are trying to grab some territory to force better terms out of Russia.
    9
  1983. How you gonna "control" shotguns and pistols????
    9
  1984. If I lived in Kyiv, I'd make sure I lived far from any airport or government buildings. If I lived in London, I'd be planning my move to a vacation home in Manchester....
    9
  1985. "Complete disaster for Ukraine" is the situation lol.
    9
  1986. Accountability.
    9
  1987. Peskov and Lavrov have been very clear: Russia is prepared for NATO involvement. They have the troops reserve, the tactical nukes just demonstrated last week, they are ready if NATO jumps in
    9
  1988. We didn't start out from day one that way my friend. A lot of blood spilled over the centuries to enable you to enjoy such an idyllic evening
    9
  1989. I have never been into Mini's but I really did not realize they'd updated their interior to such a degree. That interior looks flat out great; full of personality and character and things that make you feel something when you drive. Objectively, $50K is crazy; you can walk out with a 430i Gran Coupe RWD all day long for that amount---a far, far better car. However, for a person that is into the brand, this thing is awesome and we should all be happy we are still free to buy what we want, not what we are told we can have.
    9
  1990. LOL. Zelensky doesn't "pay" anyone in that country, the United States does.
    9
  1991. The "lack of urgency" is a feature, not a bug. Just listen to the words of Austin, Milley, and Blinken over the past year. The US goal is to "weaken" or "degrade" Russia, not for Ukraine to "win" (whatever that means). Let's not mince words: "weaken" and "degrade" are euphemisms for "kill or maim as many Russian fighting age men as possible". US doesn't want to kill a Russian dentist, or Russian tween girl; US wants to kill the dentists 19 yr old son or the tween girl's 22 yr old brother. That is why US so reluctant to send weapons capable of bringing down a skyscraper in St. Petersburg (and never will). Because the day that happens, Russia brings down an entire Ukrainian city and the war ends, robbing US of the chance to bleed Russia slow. You know, like a mosquito....or a vampire...
    9
  1992. Syrsky requested that two days ago, but was denied. The Kursk territory is part of Napolensky's "Victory Plan"; the LNG metering station specifically. He cannot give that up, even to save the Donbas...."
    9
  1993. God is telling them to stop the killing and negotiate; they are brothers after all.
    9
  1994. It is hard to think the heart of a man who just convincingly won the President of The United States, could possibly swell with pride to even greater size, but I'm sure Trump's chest expanded a little when he watched this clip.
    9
  1995. "B-b-but we're sorry! We promise to say "please" and "thank you" from now on!!"
    9
  1996. If Israel and Ukraine need weapons they whould buy them like any other countries. Tired of US floating all these "pet" countries who could never return the favor or pay us back. Like my dad said:" if you can't afford it yourself, you aren't meant to have it"
    9
  1997. I may eat fast food a couple times a month, but the pricing is so stratospheric, I only eat whatever the "special" is. In a strange way, it has opened me to sandwiches or meals I otherwise would not have tried before. Mostly have been quite good, with a couple of "heck naw, never again".
    9
  1998. The highway going East out of Kharkiv yesterday looked like a scene from an alien invasion movie; both sides were filled with cars heading out of the city. NATO and you people that think this was a wise idea are out of your minds; there was never a time Ukraine was going to emerge from this victorious.
    9
  1999. Just think about it. They have not yet hit a defensive line, they lost a lot of their best armored vehicles, and most of their mine clearing equipment, and the past two days have been using more fast moving infantry as opposed to heavy vehicles. What does that tell you?
    9
  2000. Orban went to Ukraine to personally meet with Zelensky. Maybe he can talk some sense into Zelensky
    9
  2001. They really think people will go for 6'5" 245 lb "girls" destroying 5'7" 130 lb opponents and beaming with pride at "winning" the championship???
    9
  2002. First saw the Fritz X at the RAF Museum in London in 1994. I had never seen or heard of it before, and was amazed it was a radio-guided bomb in 1943!! The Gulf War had been just a few years before with all the guided bombs on CNN every night; I was stunned to realize how old the guided bomb really was. I learned of the Roma story over a decade later. An RAF plane flew over the area where the Roma had sunk a few hours later and reported "hundreds of bodies" in the water...
    9
  2003. Just as DPR/LPR did in 2021 after years of Ukraine bombing them. Except this time, Transnistria appealed to the UN as well. If the UN ignores their plea for help, guess who will come in to save them from Moldova. 😂
    9
  2004. Putin told his army he wants them out by October. They just doing what was tasked...."
    9
  2005. Guy was crazy to tell them where he lived. Just go to the gentlemen's club when they are working and pay for the private VIP room and you can do all the things with them there that you could have done at home (and leave your Rolex at home!). Guy is a rookie; he'll learn from this experience...
    9
  2006. FAB-3000 6600 lbs is huge; like dropping a Chevy Suburban from 80km away and it lands within 100m of where you wanted it to. The UMPK kit for a bomb that large must have fairly substantial wings and fin control surfaces; I'm sure RU engineers figured the optimal size/range mix before deployment. With a blast radius that big, maybe it doesn't even need to be as accurate as a FAB-500?
    9
  2007. "...at risk.." Understatement of the year! City is encircled, last two roads have Russians sitting on top of them, and AFU outgunned 10 to 1. That's like telling a pregnant woman she is "at risk of getting knocked up"...
    9
  2008. You shoot at three people you don't even know
    9
  2009. Yesterday Zelensky to his men (and now women) at the front: "I beg you to continue to fight the invader..." Ukrainians don't even walk their own streets at night lest the press gangs grab them and deposit them in the recruitment centers. Zelensky also nixed any idea of elections next year; his is the only voice of Ukraine. Period. You young people may find this unbelievable; but those of us 40 or older see all kinds of parallels here. This is exactly how Saddam Hussein was created by the United States-----it is almost a 100% identical situation. Zelensky now rules with an Iron Fist; we have seen this before and we know how it ends: he may be Russia's problem today, but tomorrow he very likely will become America's problem.
    9
  2010. This makes the news, but it won't change anything. I saw a BMP driving into Avdiivka with a big Russian flag on it. The vehicle shows more battle damage than 10 Challenger 2s, yet there it is rumbling into a newly liberated city in victory. It has probably been hit at least a dozen times, and each time the Russians tow it back about 10 km to some open air workshop. In the freezing temps, a bunch of Engineering Platoon guys, who have been fixing engines since they were 11, go to work. Three days later, the engine is fixed, the transmission replaced, the tracks repaired, and a soldier drives it back to its unit. A month later it rolls into Avdiivka victorious. Sanctions cannot touch that; Russia not winning because of high-tech "wunderwaffe", they winning because the have more men, machines, shells, and rockets. That's it.
    9
  2011. Only $20B of the $61B was weapons; most of the rest was for us to pay the salaries and pensions of everyone in Ukraine. There's only $5B of that $20B weapons tranche left after Austin sent another $400M last week. Oh, Selydove fell to Russia last night....
    9
  2012. Putin is a Jedi Master at trolling NATO and the US.
    9
  2013. The steamroller phase has begun.
    9
  2014. Poles in 1612. Swedes in 1708. French in 1812. Germans in 1941. Now, the AmeriBrits in 2024 (whose proxy army contains Poles, Swedes, French, and Germans). I'm not European so this pattern makes no sense to me; what is the major malfunction Europeans have with Russians? Is there a reason Europeans keep trying to invade Russia???"
    9
  2015. Where are the remaining Challenger 2s and the Abrams'?? I want to see an Abrams get blown up before this is all over
    9
  2016. Wow. Ukraine 38M, Russia 144M. So when Russia only has 106M people and Ukraine the way of the T-Rex, then the war ends?
    9
  2017. I've been waiting 19 months to gloat and say "I told you so" to ALL of stupid Biden, Blinken,Nuland, NATO and the fools that believed they could beat Russia. I'm practicing in the mirror now... 😂😂😂
    9
  2018. Saw a vid on Telegram posted by AFU soldier who had called for more shells. A guy shows up in a minivan and pulls the door back to display 2 (TWO!) shells. They both laughed at the absurdity of it.
    9
  2019. Lol, Stryker thinner skinned than Bradley. Russia burn them with ease
    9
  2020. LOL. "Offensive" with 300 men. RU flag flying over Niu York yesterday, Zelensky sent his guys to the wrong place. A comedian, not a general...."
    9
  2021. I hear the bonus for taking out the Abrams is double that of Leopard 2 or Challenger 2.
    9
  2022. Russia playing with their food just like they did in 1943: Allow the enemy to dash itself to pieces against hardened fortifications backed by massive artillery, while the factories in Siberia pumped out a tsunami of weapons. Then, in 1944 the steamroller starts and doesn't stop until Berlin.
    9
  2023. at least that would help explain why it got through as I heard another report it basically followed our drone back to the base. The average grunt would have no idea how many drones were "on mission" at any given time. Most of these drones now all look similar, in the same way WW2 fighter planes all look similar; aerodynamics and the requirements of its mission.
    9
  2024. Do these NATO channels just ignore the red areas spreading westward all year?? The AFU units at 40% strength?? The fact Ukraine hasn't had 100% electricity since February?? The cognitive dissonance is staggering.
    9
  2025. Average of $550K income.... My cousin is a doctor and makes nowhere near that. I'm an engineer and even with a side business I have never made even half that in any year. Next time I see one I will signal the driver to roll their window down so I can ask them just what the bloody hell they do for a living because even two college degrees hasn't allowed me to buy one. Hopefully they'll shared their secret! :-)
    9
  2026. U$ sent 100 long range ATACMS, RU sends back 1000+ Tornado-S.
    9
  2027. The panic in Europe's capitals is just proof that this was a conversation long overdue. The smell of EU fear; the entire Internet is rank with it...
    9
  2028. "..said to be suffering heavy losses..." Who said that? Ukraine MoD? If you have 1000 tanks and your enemy has 100, and in battle they destroy 90 of yours while you destroy 40 of theirs, which of you suffered "heavy" losses?
    9
  2029. All "military targets" right?
    9
  2030. like all the other 30 game-changers were guaranteed to stop--------nothing??
    9
  2031. Heck, I never even been in the army and I can predict "major activity" coming....even small lions have claws...
    9
  2032. Right before the hit, a woman and man near the yellow lean-to look back toward the camera (as they have just heard the sound coming from that direction). They are turning to look toward Ukraine, NOT toward Russia. Also, DPR air raid warning alert of possible Storm Shadow launch was issued and the timestamp was less than 10 seconds before this explosion as you can see the camera timestamp in the video. Ouch. Someone in Ukraine F'ed up and won't admit it.
    9
  2033. I'm starting to believe the rumors from the military bloggers all over the world that he WAS wounded by an Iskander strike during a secret visit to Kyiv in December. That would explain both his initial secrecy and his continued problems.
    9
  2034. Looks good, but let's see how it holds up in the long run. Here in Texas on any day you can see 14 year old Escalade's running around like its nothing; they are tanks.
    9
  2035. Last week Ukraine redeployed a few territorial brigades (old men) and wanted to send them to Kupiansk to help slow the Russian steamroller; they protested loudly. Many in these brigades were physically unfit for regular duty, bad knees, bad back, on disability, etc. Zelensky wanted to send them to face 28 year old Storm-Z assault troops with two years of brutal combat experience.
    9
  2036. France now "officially" in Ukraine ( been there all along unofficially)
    9
  2037. Finally some oversight and accountability. The DEMs often behave as if they are accountable to no one but themselves.
    9
  2038. "Appear weak when you are strong, and strong when you are weak." ---- All the recent public news of Wagner's ammunition, infighting among Russian leadership, etc. to lure an attack on Bakhmut sector?
    9
  2039. So all those saying this was going to happen are now vindicated? All the jokes and ridicule for thinking for ourselves and seeing clearly; no more laughing now, eh? I hope the Russian steamroller goes all the way to Berlin. Again.
    9
  2040. It is abundantly clear it is time to start discussing how to save what is left of Ukraine from the United States...
    9
  2041. Thanks DPA! Yeah, I think we all kind of realized this when the T-14 Armata's were confirmed to be deployed. Russia would not use those unless the Leopards and Challengers were deployed.
    9
  2042. The Kharkiv troll farm no longer running...
    9
  2043. Look at those shockwaves from those FAB-500 hits. Everyone has their eardrums blown out and lungs collapsed out to 700 meters. Su-34 lobs them from 40 MILES away and they land on the exact treeline the drone targeted. How dafuk can you survive that?
    9
  2044. You are seeing the tank a week after the fight that caused it to be abandoned. It looks peaceful now, the day it was damaged was anything but peaceful and no one remembers to shut the dam door when the house and whole neighborhood is on fire
    9
  2045. Just like when Biden or Sunak talks....
    9
  2046. I'm far more interested in the North Korean heavy MLRS showing up than Abrams or ATACMS. We know what American stuff can do, but North Korea has not put any homegrown weapon system into real world combat EVER, afaik. Artillery shells and rockets yes, but not entire systems. Im very interested to see how they perform in the real world
    9
  2047. These Ukraine guys love the theater. Always with the FPV videos, the cool-sounding unit names and insignia, the pop culture references to everything they do. They'd be entertaining if it weren't for the fact Russia is mowing them down like grass...
    9
  2048. 30 years ago, it was Toyota, Honda, Nissan, and Mitsubishi in that order....Subaru and Mazda were OK too, but the domestics and Euros were all junk. Hyundai and Kia were lower than junk; they were 3rd World cars that didn't belong in the US. In fact, Mitsubishi licensed their engine designs to Hyundai in the 1990s; Hyundai only stopped using such designs in 2014. Mitsubishi is a big part of the reason Hyundai and Kia are not a joke today.
    9
  2049. US Supreme Allied Commander Europe, Gen. Cavoli said last week in his written testimony that "Russia is expected to produce more ammunition than all 32 NATO allies combined per year and is on track to “command the largest military on the continent.." This aid buys Ukraine several weeks----at the most.
    9
  2050. All their new conscripts will have to train by candle light....
    9
  2051. This is exactly how the "Russian Steamroller" works, just as it did in 1943-1944. I said this back in July, of course i didn't know when it would start (I thought next Spring), but it was 100% going to be exactly like this.
    9
  2052. There have been fewer and fewer Iskander strikes noted in the daily summaries the past few weeks. The last memorable one was the "quintiple-tap" of five Iskanders hitting the same spot. Since then, very few. Is there anything to read into this tactically, or just a coincidence?
    9
  2053. Selydove fell to Russia yesterday; only took 19 days from start to finish. Video from the city shows buildings still perfectly intact; Russia didn't even have to bombard it much....just surround it and AFU had to leave or be captured. Ukraine cities and towns to the East of the Dnipro are falling like leaves now....Russia is on the cusp of Ukraine's undefended interior.
    9
  2054. ...and when Russia defeats these "game changers" like all before them?
    9
  2055. When I first heard Joe Biden was not going to respond to the "Draft Framework" Putin sent in September, 2021, I recall breathing out loud: "Biden is crazy to think they can beat Russia in a land war on their own territory!!" I couldn't believe it----it was like all these wealthy, powerful men simply ignored 200 years of history, and here I am this nobody history nerd, and now 2+ years later, everything I said would happen, has happened. Everything I couldn't see the future, but I knew RU would not quit, they would just bring more men and machines, sit behind layers and absorb that counteroffensive that everyone knew would fail, all the while the factories in the Urals ran day and night, then they start their steamroller and it will not stop until the war is over. Just like they did before, and before that, and before that. I am almost 100% by 2100 some Western fool will try again to beat Russia; and fail again..."
    9
  2056. I heard we bombed Somalia too. Are we now at war with another country or did that bomb just miss?
    9
  2057. A euro "think tank"....... Total waste of my time; lessons from the Tooth Fairy more believable
    9
  2058. Outside of Europe, the United States has done a terrible job as geopolitical center of the world the past 70 years. American racism and xenophobia is simply too firmly embedded in its culture to be an even-handed world leader. Who knows if China will or will not be better in this regard? However at least it is an open question, whereas with America it is not. China will take a shot at this for the next 75 years; they may fail but it can't be any worse than what the US has done.
    9
  2059. "Our"??? Is this the State Department of the US or of Israel? I'm sorry but when did Iran attack the United States? Did I miss that?
    9
  2060. No need. RU don't have to beg for AA systems since they build their own.
    9
  2061. Why? To protect themselves from NATO of course.
    9
  2062. Romanians have publicly contradicted Zelensky. So Zelensky is either incompetent, or a liar. Also, the General is correct about the "shoulders" of the salient in Robotyne must be widened...some call them "flanks". The problem is those flanks are on the high ground to either side, and the Russians there are VDV Paratroopers, Pacific Fleet Marines, and Spetznaz. Ummm, yeah good luck with beating those guys...
    9
  2063. Russia 2022 entire military budget is about 1/9th of US military budget and US has already given Ukraine amount of weapons and support equal to Russia entire 2022 military budget. That doesn't even account for the amount given by the other NINETEEN NATO/EU countries to Ukraine. 20 vs. 1 and Russia is hanging in there.......just think about that.
    9
  2064. $400 drone cripples $5M armored vehicle. Even if not completely destroyed, it is out of action for some time and therefore with respect to that battle, it may as well have never been there in the first place. Not to mention the casualties (by shock, blast pressure, shrapnel) that also removes soldiers from the battle. Once this war is over, the world's armies gonna be looking at each other like Admirals did after WW2 when they said "no more damn battleships". Future armored vehicles will have to be designed with an anti-drone system standard.
    9
  2065. Iran not ready for the US/Israel yet; they are smart to back down for now. They just got S-400, Murmansk-1, and Iskander; in a few years the Su-34/35 and nucs. Then they'll be ready. "He who knows when he can fight and when he cannot, will be victorious." -- Sun Tzu
    9
  2066. Planes can turn, right or left, can't they? All the ones I've been on at least are able to change direction; but you nafo-bots know a lot more I'm sure.
    9
  2067. Wow. One thing I've learned is that what you put out there, eventually returns to you.
    9
  2068. Just looking at the map yesterday show a salient of yellow surrounded by a sea of red. The deeper you push the more your flanks are exposed. Even if they crushed everything in front of them, they'd still eventually be annihilated.
    9
  2069. China is the Imperial Japanese Navy around 1922. Everyone at the table ridicules them, but 20 years later those same people who laughed at them watched their battleships sink, full of holes made by Japanese torpedoes. By 2045, history will repeat itself.
    9
  2070. Its not enough for me to vote for him, but knowing Biden isn't insane is comforting.
    9
  2071. The Alligators will have to carry a double loadout of Vikhr missiles for the next week or two. Ukraine HAS to break at least a line or two before the NATO summit or they are toast.
    9
  2072. Saw that tank attack vid yesterday and wondered what type it was as it was too far to tell. T-90 Proryv!
    9
  2073. They hit a ship that has nothing to do with their collapsing front lines and the Russian Steamroller crushing over them. Honestly I don't blame them; on Christmas Day 1945 the Luftwaffe used all their remaining fuel for a massive 200 plane surprise attack on Allied airfields. Blew up a lot of American and British planes on the ground. Changed the outcome not a whit...
    9
  2074. I don't get it. Western companies have been in there for a decade buying or leasing farming rights, coal, gas, etc. What is new about this?
    9
  2075. Hahahahaha.....while the factories 2000 miles away in the Urals have been running night and day since September, 2022.
    9
  2076. I've always felt that Caddy should have had an engine upgrade option on the XT6 to distinguish it from the Enclave/Traverse. This does everything right, but $75K is too much, imho. You can get a Suburban Premier for that which is superior to this in every qualitative way. At $65K this would be a slam dunk.
    9
  2077. LOL. I posted "RU has to take as much as it can as fast as it can" before all this stuff arrives and YT deleted it as "hate speech" 🤣
    9
  2078. I'd love to know the truth of how many Russian soldiers have been casualties in the past week in Robotyne sector. In all the past week's videos, I do not see any Ukrainian vehicle firing its gun right before it is hit by a Lancet, shell, or mine. To me, they are being hit before they even acquire a target, meaning it is very unlikely they even know where the Russians are. Yesterday the two CV-90s that were destroyed by RPG7s WERE firing their guns when hit, but the hits came from the side, not ahead where their gun barrel was aimed----they did not see the Russians who killed them. Also, the only Russian equipment I see being hit are from FPV drones, not from any tank or IFV in these assaults. There is no way Ukraine is inflicting serious losses on Russia in these attacks; the casualty ratio has to be 10:1 in Russia's favor.
    9
  2079. Audis are (and have been for over 30 years now) magnificently executed cars of extremely high quality. The only reason I will never buy one again is their complexity and difficulty of servicing makes it financially unreasonable to keep them more than 7 or 8 years. I am hopeful that due to the inherent simplicity of EVs, much of that difficulty will no longer apply to Audi and I can buy an E-Tron one day and drive it for 10 years without paying for it twice over.

  2080. Cute apartments those Belgorod folks have; very feng shui

  2081. 12 guns won't last two weeks at the front..."

  2082. DEM Policy. DEM Consequences. Eat it.

  2083. Makes sense he is driving an SUV, this morning many vids show Russian drones blowing up Ukrainian SUVs used to transport troops to the line. They've lost so many armored vehicles they are using SUVs now
    9
  2084. Yes, in Kursk which is Russia. Why so much panic and fear in NATO?
    9
  2085. We all knew the Russian Steamroller was coming but I expected it to begin next Spring. I wonder if they will stop at all? There has been reports that Shoigu visited the front yesterday and was updated on plans to continue the offensive through the winter. Do the Russian have some mechanism to fight through mud and snow that Ukraine does not?
    9
  2086. I don't know what it is yet because I haven't heard it. Stop trying to "protect" me by controlling what I see and hear. I can make up my own mind thank you very much.
    9
  2087. Yesterday Weeb estimated only about 150 AFU in that "pocket". Not a HUGE encirclement but if it happens again a bit further north, it will be about 1000 AFU in that pocket.

  2088. This is like the 10th time CNN has video of Ukrainian soldiers with visible Nazi icons on their person or vehicle. Is CNN just ignorant or just don't care??

  2089. "The Biden administration has quietly given Ukraine permission to strike inside Russia — solely near the area of Kharkiv — using U.S.-provided weapons, three U.S. officials and two other people familiar with the move said Thursday, a major reversal that will help Ukraine to better defend its second-largest city." May 30, 2024 "Ukraine has not violated our policy..." US State Dept, August 8, 2024. 🤣

  2091. It doesn't seem RU is very interested in closing all these encirclements; I mean the entire year we've seen literally dozens of potential encirclements and most of the time, AFU holds on till the last moment then flees the trap. I can't even recall a time RU obviously tried to close it; they seem content just to beat up the escaping units as much as possible with drones and artillery and that's just fine with them. Probably don't want to waste the lives it would take to push hard to shut these traps....
    9
  2092. Ukraine wastes their few remaining missiles and ammo for this while at this very moment they are retreating from Robotyne, meaning EVERYTHING they sacrificed the $20B NATO army to gain last summer is now back in Russian hands. The intransigence of Ukraine under Zelensky reminds me of that of Imperial Japan in 1945; even after two A-bombs, the Military wanted to fight on. It was only the Emperor who stepped in and said "no, we will surrender". Unfortunately for Ukraine's' people, there is no Emperor to overrule Zelensky and his Nationalists....
    9
  2093. They are using the MT-12 Rapira as indirect artillery?? Having a drone spot the target for the gun? 55 year old gun now relevant again with use of drones. That's why no one beats Russia in a land war on their own territory.
    9
  2094. Azerbaijan, menaced by a hostile agent on its border, just proactively entered Armenian territory to eliminate a clear threat BEFORE it grew too powerful, and the West is happy about that. Yet, Russia, menaced by a hostile agent on its border, proactively entered Ukrainian territory to eliminate a clear threat BEFORE it grew too powerful, and the West is angry about that. Makes sense...

  2096. Its Ukraine and they are desperate; Syrsky admitted Kursk was a gamble that failed, and for two years PR has been the primary motivation behind their strategy because they have to appear to do "well" to get more free stuff. So, HUGE GRAIN OF SALT, whenever they "announce" something; that said an F-16 probably could shoot down a Kh-101 or similar subsonic cruise missile. The F-16s would have to already be in the air on CAP, an AWACS would have to vector them and a radar-homing would be the only likely weapon as there is zero chance they'd be able to see a cruise missile at night. This could only take place in the far west of the country, and with only 3 planes they couldn't possibly shoot down more than 1 or 2 per air raid just due to how dispersed the attack is. However I'd need much more proof than Napolensky's mouth....."

  2103. Russia has been allowing US MQ-9 Reapers to fly over the Black Sea, sending targeting information directly to NATO-staff inside bunkers in Odessa, they could blot it from the sky with ease, but they never do. The Houthis have no such hesitancy; a perfect example that when you have nothing to lose, you are powerful beyond imagining.
    9
  2104. I agree 100%. Ukrainians and Russian have been "cousins" for 1600 years. They fought the Mongols together, Napoleon together, the Wehrmacht together. They are precisely the same when it comes to fighting to the death. Gee, I wonder whose interest that trait in both Ukrainians and Russians serves??

  2108. I'll just say I'm really happy to hear a "military adviser" actually speak clear facts, free of propaganda and editorializing. On BBC or CNN their "advisers" always use propaganda terms like "conscripts" (with zero evidence the deployed force is actually a conscript one), or phrases like "civilian target" for one side (when no one anywhere is even pretending to make such distinctions anymore). Refreshing this guy is!

  2113. There were no tanks or soldiers on that bridge, only an unlucky family. At least when Russia drops an S-300 on a cafe full of civilians, there are actual Ukrainian Generals and NATO mercenaries in the cafe along with the civilians. When Russia bombs a warhouse across from an apartment block, there are actual NATO weapons stored inside. Ukraine is no longer even trying to limit themselves to such...."niceties"....neither will Russia.

  2123. From what we've heard on the neutral military sites, AFU has 25K to 45K allocated to this operation (not all committed of course so they can rotate). The RU Kursk Army that was there for months (and was about to invade Ukraine via that same path), maybe 40K to 50K. So, right now both sides are about equally matched in that area, which is why neither can push the other very much, for very long: that "bulge" has remained about the same size for 3 days now. AFU is probing out to try to expand, but those "fingers" always eventually hit a wall. The rest of the border is not easy to cross, mines and dragon's teeth been there for years now, so militarily speaking, AFU can stay as long as they want to endure the FAB guided bombs. However, politically" , Putin is really angry now so it is unlikely RU will do the conservative thing and just surround them and degrade them from the air. They are on *RUSSIAN soil so he will probably send however many it takes to force them out asap..."

Same in Ukraine too; Zelensky talks as if the $60B in US weapons are in his hands, but his tune will change if he never actually gets them.

  2132. The fact Adm Kirby addressed this so quickly after their first use, means the US is concerned. Kinzhal/Iskander are unstoppable as far as anyone knows. US may have something out at White Sands with some Lockheed Martin engineers all around that can shoot them down, but if they do they don't want Russia to know and even if they did, it would cost WAY more than $2M per missile like Patriot. For Ukraine, a massive production line in NK and Iran of Iskander-M class weaponry would spell their doom. Russia already has enough of them to "double tap" targets, imagine they get enough to make them fall like rain every day. Game Over.

    8
  2140. Yeah because he's already reduced the Kursk "bulge" by half and the AFU there just sit in holes and wait for Fate to visit them. That incursion now has ZERO negotiation value to Zelensky and everyone knows it. No more US weapons, and EU can barely arm itself let alone Ukraine. Time to talk. 😂

  2167. I'm not sure if its the shortage or associated dealer markups with other brands, but I took my 2017 Giulia in to my local dealer for an oil change and I was looking at the Stelvio as I'm probably going to get that next. The sales guy was telling me that the first four years they were open it was really hard to sell cars; they only had the Giulia and 4C and only gear-heads bought them. He said now the Stelvio is flying out of the store; it is the right size, great looks, fuel economy, and good enough performance for the "mass market". The purists still buy the Giulia but the Stelvio is an SUV so it is getting people who four years ago had never even heard of Alfa Romeo. It helps that no Alfa dealer in this country marks up-----they want to SELL! Market share is more important to a new brand.

  2168. President Obama 2015: "...I will not arm Ukraine as Russia has escalatory dominance ; any capability we'd be willing to give, they can leap-frog, just leading to destruction of Ukraine..." Always listen to the smartest guy in the room....
    8
  2169. I tend to agree; since the Fall of Bakhmut Russia has had the initiative and terrorist attacks in Belgorod just proved to me Ukraine's core combat power is weakening so they have to do guerilla warfare. If Russia sends two 25K man army groups into Ukraine in two different areas one will be checked while the other will blitz all the way to Kyiv.
    8
  2170. 100% agree! My favorite was when he was talking about the AFU left in the Avdiivka pocket when the big wigs first began to leave in December. He said "...these soldiers have been deleted from a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet by an officer back at HQ...." I was like dam...Dima is cold... 🙂

  2173. Looks competitive, but not really ground-breaking in any way that I can see. Jag iPace was doing the dual motor , AWD performance , 260 mile EV thing five years ago. For $10K more you can get the Jag with stupendous leather-lined luxury and F1 handling; why really go for this at $58K? At $45K makes more sense up against ID4 and the HyunKia twins. I personally would always choose made by Japan over Germany or Korea all things being equal. The base Model Y starts at $58K but its garbage build quality can't make it worth the extra 40 miles of range (plus the Nissan gets the Federal tax credit making it even more insane to choose a Tesla option). When you analyze it, this is basically a shot directly into the "middle" of its segment; no aspect is really standout. However that is probably exactly the point Nissan is trying to hit.
    8
  2174. A lot of people (including me) initially assumed its Su-34 carrying these FAB-3000 and that is probably true. However we are forgetting the Tu-22 bomber can carry 50,000+ lbs which is easily four, but maybe even six or eight of these monster bombs, and since it is supersonic it can release then turn-n-burn just like a Su-34 can. Russia has almost 500 Tu-22s...there will be no practical limit to how many of these things will be falling from the sky eventually. At 2:26 you can see that the adjacent bldg to the north of the blast exploded a second after the initial blast, while a similar size bldg to the west of the main blast did not. AFU was storing something explosive in that bldg to the north...

  2175. 100% the US (Vicky Nuland) blessed everything that you see and hear.

  2176. More cope from one of the top Nafo bot channels. Russia is at war ; all the NATO providers are not----they use Ukraine to do their fighting. So they are free to develop/test/market their aircraft unabated while Russia has to prioritize production to win the war. Once the war is over, Iran will get 24-36 Su-35s as planned and the non-NATO world will buy as they have for 60 years.
    8

  2180. Even Ukraine's casualty estimate numbers in the multi-hundreds; while Russia's estimate is truly eye-popping...almost 1000 casualties. Even if you just take the number between both estimated you have a staggering toll from a single attack; an attack which doesn't even include the hit on a hotel in Zaporizhzhia that---of course---some Western mercenaries were staying in. What is even more shocking to me is that Swedes were demilitarized today: SWEDEN! Since the Napoleonic Wars, Sweden has not initiated any direct armed conflict with anyone, but now here in 2024 Joe Biden got them meddling in foreign wars too.... What a disastrous day for NATO and Ukraine...."
    8
  2181. Yes but EU spends all their money on social welfare and LGBTQ, not armies. UK can't even put 50 tanks into battle today if they had to. Germany maybe only 100. They know this....only Poland is quite strong on land but in the air they too could not stand for long vs. Russia. If Russia sent a 100,000 man Army Group via Belarus into Poland, they would be in Warsaw within a month.

  2182. I always vote Policy, and Trump's policy is simply better than Harris'. Harris is just more Biden policy and all that has given us is war, despair, inflation, and increasing crime. If you focus on policy, it is an easy choice...

  2184. Abrams can only use roads; too heavy for anything else. Very predictable.

  2185. This is Prigozhin vs. the "elites" and this was going to happen no matter what (I guessed after the war was over though). Just last week Putin sided with Shoigu that Wagner must come under Army control (the right decision). Putin chose the "elites" and this is what has set Prigozhin off. Putin is no fool; he knows that once the war is over he cannot have an independent force of 30K to 40K battle-hardened shock troops just sitting around with nothing to do and not under Army jurisdiction. He made a choice, and in doing so gave Prigozhin one: fold your army into the military or be destroyed. Prigozhin just chose....

  2197. Brave of them to be walking out in the open like that while Kinzhal's and Kalibr's are falling like rain... Doesn't matter what they talk about; US/UK won't allow Zelensky to agree to any cease-fire with Russia. They'll threaten him just like they did last December to compel him to keep fighting on; the "grand offensive" which is now a "grand failure" will continue with massive losses in Ukrainian lives and NATO equipment.
    8
  2198. Putin made it clear, and this time he was very specific about who, what and where would feel the response. NATO finally found Putin's "line"...
    8
  2199. Most of the military analysts say these drone strikes are evidence of the failure of Ukraines offensive to have any success on the ground. All the Leopard 2s are gone. French AMX10s are on flatbed trucks in Mariupol as war trophies. The Swedish CV-90, the best IFV in the world at the moment, drilled by an RPG7 designed in 1960s and captured. These are FACTS. If Ukraine's army were having success, their offensive air power would be used to support the ground offensive, not blow out office building windows 300 km away. It is time to negotiate. Long past time actually, but the offensive has been defeated. With no air cover Abrams will be blown up just like Leopards. A few F-16s are still months away and won't change the outcome of this offensive. Then its winter, Russians still sitting right where they are today, and rested with more tanks and more ammo. Armistice. Now.
    8
  2200. Right. Like all the previous "game-changers"? M777, HIMARS, JDAM, GLSDB, Switchblade, Javelin, Bayraktar, Leopard 2, Bradley, Challenger, Storm Shadow, Imperial Star Destroyer....
    8
  2201. I really think this will be over before F-16s are flying for Kyiv. Ukraine has no way to halt the Russians who are now inside Kupiansk, and in the south near Robotyne the very best of what Ukraine has is locked in battle with Russians who have now moved back to a more defensible position and are raining Su-34 satellite guided bombs, artillery, Ka-52, and Lancet drone hell on the oncoming Ukrainians.
    8
  2202. Russia operates a different way than the West; they always have. They announced development of the 9M730 Burevestnik in 2019, a cruise missile with a nuclear POWERPLANT, not just a warhead (that of course can be nuclear too). Some kind of nuclear thermal rocket, which along with a regular chemical rocket to accelerate it, means it would essentially have infinite range (once the nuclear rocket took over). Remember the nuclear accident in Russia in 2019? This was them testing the engine. NATO would never build such a weapon, because it would basically have nuclear fallout exhaust the entire time it was running. Russia do not care about such things; they go their own way.
    8
  2203. Russians play the West like a piano.... Have done so for decades.
    8
  2204. Lol. Rockford has no money but they found enough to get those aslieum seekers out of Dodge right quick!
    8
  2205. The harsh truth is that had Ukraine won last summer (or heck even fought Russia to a draw), Zelensky would never have to leave Kyiv as his phone would be ringing every day with Western leaders asking for his bank wire instructions to send him billions. The $20B NATO-trained army was utterly and embarrassingly destroyed without Russia so much as having to sweat. THAT is when the war ended for Ukraine. Russia today is far stronger than a year ago, while AFU is far weaker; Ukraine is now a bad investment.

  2207. Kinzhal isn't even the "big boy" of Russia's hypersonic arsenal. In 2018 they announced the "Avangard" was operational. Who knows if they actually have them or how many. However that thing is a hypersonic glide vehicle that falls from SPACE and hits the ground at Mach 27. You are talking about a non-nuclear weapon that is unstoppable and will annihilate everything and everyone in a 1-mile circle around its point of impact.

  2208. Show the Bristol Hotel in Odessa 😂

  2209. Kursk is Russia so the only "escalation" is the damage to NATO's ego. These troops are as green as can be, so they are going to suffer harshly initially until they gain some experience. I can't imagine many of them speak Russian or Russians speak Korean, so very unlikely they'll fight in combined actions. They'll likely be posted in roles that are defensive-only , to free up RUAF units for offensive action. For a military historian, we are living in unprecedented times; NK has not fought in over 70 years---even the oldest Western generals are too young to have fought NK even as a private.

  2218. Mark my words. The history books will not be kind to Zelensky as he has allowed himself to become a puppet of NATO interests that care far more about Russia, than they do about Ukraine. Ukraine/Russia have been "cousins" since before the time of the Kievan Rus. Ukrainian and Russian princes took the same road to pay their tributes to their Mongol Golden Horde overlords for centuries. They fought and defeated the Mongols, and the Wehrmacht together. Now, after 1500 years, a few Nationalists let themselves be convinced by NATO diplomats that they need to be "separate" from Russia. A separation mostly that favors NATO, and they have led their fellow countrymen to disaster as a result.
    8
  2219. I've heard now three times on different mil blogger sites that MI6 has been warning Ukraine that Russia is preparing to go on the offensive before winter, in multiple places. Unfortunately, MI6 is also who told Ukraine Russia only had shovels to take Bakhmut and by the time AFU realized the Brits were wrong, it was too late. Hope the Brits are wrong again, but I don't think they are. The steamroller is coming.

  2223. Love the forest green camo T-90M at the 1:00 mark; this war will generate HUGE interest on the collectibles market in coming years and decades. Especially Wagner unit memorabilia. A private army, partly made up of convicts, took a heavily fortified city from a NATO-supplied army and in the process killed 50K+ Ukrainians. This war has turned Prigozhin into the Mercenary "Elon Musk"; his Wagner PMC is now the most feared (and desired) security firm on Earth. Few know it was Prigozhin who ran the PsyOps troll farm that sank Hillary Clinton in 2016; he is excellent at propaganda and now at urban combat. Two things any government concerned about its stability prize the most. Heck, we may one day hire Wagner to protect the Capitol from Trump's crazies-----Wagner would mow them down with ease. 🙂

  2232. Amazing! To me film (especially color film) is more important than a library of written history. Few will read a book; however you can show this to thousands (even millions) of people at a time and they'll watch it. There is far more than just the story of the plane here; look at the navigation by hand, the people smoking in the loung, etc. You can learn a TON of history about many different things when everyday life is recorded. I've preferred Boeing (and Lockheed) all my life; sure I've flown Airbus and they are great too, but if I have a choice, I choose Boeing.
    8
  2233. No, as Russia has never gone on the offensive other than the day the war started. If the Russian Winter Offensive that just started a few days ago fails, THEN it will be a "stalemate". However that is a big "IF": Russia has more ammo, guns, drones, helicopters, aircraft, tanks, and men. It would take Divine Intervention for Ukraine to survive 2024.
    8
  2234. Russia owns the sky in Ukraine now. Their Orlan-30 UAV has 300 km range and 18 hour endurance and its the #1 reason those Iskanders fall on every HQ, ammo depot, airbase, train station, hotel full of French, fuel depot, etc. In the logistics war, Russia is absolutely thrashing Ukraine; the only place that is somewhat safe is the far west around Lviv. However as Russia moves west, even that won't be out of range much longer. The new Air Defense will help, but not in any amount to matter as they can't shoot down guided bombs, Iskanders, or Lancets and those three are falling by the hundreds every day.

  2243. I almost bought one of these a couple years ago as I'm a big JLR fan. They promised to sell it at MSRP if I ordered it but at the time they were only building the I6 w/mild hybrid and none of the standard I6. I just can't deal with unreliable cars anymore so I felt the standard I6 was the safest bet. It also didnt have a huge amount of room behind the 3rd row. I got a Suburban with the 5.3 instead and I have zero regrets
    8
  2244. That is kind of insane to have that many vehicles in the open during daylight that close to the front. Even just one or two would have indicated the facility is a repair shop and made it a target. Of course, CNN will report that AFU says they were all "decoys"..."

Who wants to see planes that take forever to turn around, or run out of fuel, etc.?? 🙂

  2247. Part of the reason the case was so easy to make is the huge disparity in combat power; it just lends itself to overuse. What I don't get is why Muslim nations don't give Palestinians all their old tanks, guns, and trucks so they can defend themselves. Just like NATO giving Ukraine all their old stuff so they don't get steamrolled. Ukraine can't win but they aren't just getting pancaked like Gazans.

  2249. Not here to dump on the LC500; to me it is the best looking Lexus of the past 20 years and an instant classic. My heart was broken when I learned they will never be producing an "F" version as that is the one I was waiting for. I've looked them over closely for two years now and------I bought a Jaguar XKR-S. As a high-performance trim, the XK-R/XK-RS have the 'edge' the "F" version of the LC500 would have had (and what you'll have to add yourself with aftermarket parts). The regular LC 500 is simply too tame, too soft, too "Dentists Wife" in its current form. I don't want to spend time and money "hardening" it (maybe some do and that's cool); I want it already hard. The XK has been around over a decade now and everyone realizes its Ford-derived V8 and ZF trans combo is bulletproof---XK's easily run 150K miles or more. That was the only risk; Toyota vs. Jaguar reliability and it has been eliminated. That was the LC500s only advantage and its gone. Jag and Toyota both did years in Formula One; their expertise in dynamics is at or near the top. For me, the XK-RS was everything the LC500 was (and more) for $20K less. If Lexus builds an LC F, I'll be first in line.

He ABSOLUTELY can never fly out of Ukraine directly as he has no Air Force to protect his plane. Last year he took a train to Poland first, but the Poles don't like him now so that is unlikely. We are PAYING for the guy to come here and ask for more money....

The one from Dnipro was amazing: someone recording the skyline from his apartment in almost complete darkness, then suddenly the sky lights up, a huge explosion near the river silhouetting a smoke trail in the sky. Then another, and another...each lighting up the night sky and each at the end of a smoke trail. Then another explosion near the first, but not missile smoke trail this time. That means whatever the missile hit detonated. I swear it looked like that old game "Missile Command".

  2274. If a country starts a military offensive because a YouTuber "shamed" them into it; that means the future of humanity is doomed. 🙂 No knock on you, man---you have done a great job, but if that motivated them that scares me more than Putin's nukes!
    8
  2275. Last week Russia did naval exercises with 100 ships , 60 aircraft, and 15,000 troops. They played war games with more operational aircraft than Ukraine has, and with ships that have never fired a shot in this war. Let that sink in...
    8
  2276. With no air force, half the Leopards destroyed, 20% of the Bradleys destroyed, I don't see how they can capitalize on anything. Prigozhin's gamble didn't remove a single tank or soldier from the front, so there is no opportunity to exploit even if Ukraine had the means to exploit it.
    8
  2277. All that proves is that it was foolish in the extreme for Biden and Stoltenberg to reject the Security Framework Russia sent them in September, 2021. Whatever "analysis" they did that resulted in them choosing to fight rather than talk, was flawed to the point of absurdity. Look at that list of stuff-----that's just from the US! Doesn't even include the Migs and Sukhois, Leopard 2s, CV-90s, Krabs, CAESARs, and the tens of billions in other hardware and ammo sent by everyone else. What is the result? The "Grand Spring Offensive" stopped cold, and Zaluzhny yesterday admitting they cannot push Russia out, all they can do is resist. If $200B and 400K casualties is only enough to "resist", then to "win" would cost what, $500B and 1 million casualties? Does that seem sane?

  2280. Preparation? Polish troops and equipment have been fighting on Ukraine's side for over two years already. If you see a Polish AHS Krab 155mm SPG, there is a 90% chance the crew inside is Polish military. Not many of them left now though; I haven't seen one in months...
    8
  2281. People openly fighting the conscription officers now because they know being taken means doom. One guys family posted his disability documents to exempt him, but AFU took him anyway and his first day at the front a shell sent him to Valhalla 😢
    8
  2282. You called it 12 hours before it actually happened. The US threw Zelensky under the bus. Thats why he got mad and stormed away in a rage. Keep that analysis and "reading between the lines" up; anyone can read posts... it's your analysis why I watch. Well done
    8
  2283. Netanyahu: "So few?? Try again!"

  2284. Here we go with the Ukraine MoD propaganda. RU is ecstatic Ukraine FINALLY commits the Challenger to the fight; just like with the Leopard 2 , everyone believes it is mine-proof, drone-proof, artillery-proof, missile-proof, and bomb-proof. I'll make a crazy, radical prediction: RU will burn it down and take a few home as trophies just as before.

    8
  2288. This will be an intriguing book a few years from now. Prigozhin's move was so self-destructive, I have to believe there is a "third hand" involved. Wagner just took Bakhmut from a NATO-trained force of 60K soldiers. As a company their value could not have been higher until this past weekend; all Prigozhin had to do was keep doing what he'd been doing and after the war his global contracts would have increased by a factor of ten. Yes, yes we've known all year he hates the "elites" and Military brass and felt they never gave his private army the same support regular army gets. So what? Who can blame them? If there are only 10 shells left, the Army will give them to their own units not some bunch of mercs. He should know the rules of the "game". To make such a move, and actually fire on fellow Russian servicemen(!), just makes zero sense. Something else is at play here; the move favors Ukraine so much I have to believe CIA/MI6 involvement at some level. We all know they were involved with Nordstream, and probably the dam as well. That they are involved here should be no surprise. I can't wait for the tell-all book but Prigozhin will not live to be interviewed----he killed fellow Russians and that is unforgiveable. His exile will be brief...

  2289. I see many kids, teens, old ladies etc.also being hit by these and can't help but think: "Israel got 10 of it's enemies, but created 10,000 new ones in doing so..."

    8
  2292. I have 2012 Enclave which really mechanically is little different from the 2023 and the Traverse. Yes, 10 years and five kids means button labels are peeled off, plastic trim bits cracked, etc. However the leather has not a tear or bruise, and the engine still idles quietly at 155K miles. The only thing I'd do different is get the tow package with the trans oil cooler. Even though I don't tow, 7 people and their luggage on road trips in Florida, we'd climb a grade at 75 mph and the trans cooler temp warning would flash. At 65 mph it was fine. Other than that, its been a tank and I do not believe any Kia would make it 10 years and 150K without at least two engine out replacements.
    8
  2293. Some get through, but not enough to matter. Storm Shadow is $2M each, AFU has fired at least 10 of them several times at the Crimea bridge over the past few months, yet there the bridge is right now not a mark on it. Why? All the Storm Shadows shot down that's why.

  2296. ...at the very moment the W.H. is complaining about Russian missiles hitting Ukraine.
    8
  2297. This is why Russia is going to create a 15km deep "buffer zone" along its northern border with Ukraine. Putin said they'd do it back in November after a shelling strike on Belgorod. That means Kharkiv will be inside the "buffer zone"....

  2298. With the money you'd just be surrendering a bit slower, that's all...

    8
  2301. LOL. 31 Abrams with no upgraded armor and the best electronics taken out so Russia won't capture it. After two similar or better tanks have been burned with ease all summer long. hahahahah! OMG, please.....stop.....ahahahahah!
    8
  2302. Begin Armistice negotiations...
    8
  2303. Well now Russia can't get back the 65 of their own they were supposed to get, AND they lost a plane and 5 Air Force servicemen. Wouldn't you be mad?

  2306. Yeah until one day he isn't (and the ones demanding we find that "line" are never the ones the missile will fall on)...
    8
  2307. Then it becomes $45K and no one buys it.
    8
  2308. Based on after action reports this week, Ukraine does not have much time left (which is why Zelensky just publicly called out NATO, angering the US); he is desperate and rightfully so. The "counter offensive" is a complete and utter failure; no amount of spin or propaganda can hide that fact now. The Russian juggernaut has begun to move and just as in 1943, once the steamroller starts, it only stops when there is nothing left in front of it to crush.
    8
  2309. Go Jamaica! My ancestral homeland! Save Haiti and cover yourselves in glory! You didn't create the problem, the French and Americans did, but you can be the solution. Godspeed and good luck!!😊
    8
  2310. The steamroller about to storm Kupiansk will continue on to crush Kharkiv then secure all of the north to Sumy. All the Ukrainian forces in the Luhansk pocket and in Zaporizhzhia will have to retreat west or be encircled. This will enable Russia to take a huge swathe of territory which will then become the "DMZ" between a remnant Rump State Ukraine and the annexed territories which since last year are legally Russia proper.
    8
  2311. Just having Trump/Vance as a ticket (and them being in the clear lead) has put a whole different vibe on the Ukraine War. In just one week, Orban went from NATO villain, to "hey, maybe he has a point". Lots of reports of Ukrainian Generals suddenly being open to maybe talking, etc. Trump was right: He really may be able to "stop the war in one day"...."
    8
  2312. Just a reminder who is in charge. 🙂 Zelensky said yesterday "we will bring the war to Russia". Putin just reminded him no need, I'll bring the war to your hometown anytime I want.
    8
  2313. They have the Abrams M1150 mine clearing vehicle almost perfectly intact. It was hit by a drone disabling its optics and, unable to see, the Ukrainian crew abandoned it. While the Abrams basic design is 40 years old, the M1150 went operational in 2009 and is the US Army's current mine clearing platform; its not some "old junk we don't use anymore" like the Democrats always try to tell us. It has a plow that digs up mines, an automatic flag-planting attachment to mark where it has worked, and a rocket-assisted explosive charge that detonates mines out 150 meters in front of it. It is a highly capable machine that costs $15M each. That is America's front line stuff in Russian hands thanks to Joe Biden.
    8
  2314. That is because Ukraine stored Challenger 2s in the warehouse across the street from the apartment block...
    8
  2315. The Russians are close. Zelensky fired Danilov today; the trail gets warmer by the hour
    8
  2316. 10,000 NKs to "shore up" 650,000 Russians?
    8
  2317. One thing this war has made abundantly clear is NATO doesn't know much, ever, at all. They can't even agree on who bombed Nordstream or blew up the dam. NATO has been reactionary for 15 months and I see no reason to think that won't continue.
    8
  2318. That is the most American thing I've seen all day. Really. That is 100% normal American behavior in 2023, especially here in Texas. All businesses, schools, hospitals, etc. have a little sticker on the door saying "No Guns Allowed". Without that sticker, guns are allowed inside.
    8
  2319. Selydove fell to Russia yesterday; only took 19 days from start to finish. Video from the city shows buildings still perfectly intact; Russia didn't even have to bombard it much....just surround it and AFU had to leave or be captured. Ukraine cities and towns to the East of the Dnipro are falling like leaves now....Russia is on the cusp of Ukraine's undefended interior.
    8
  2320. The drones are there to clutter the sky up. Its the hypersonic and supersonic washing machines that do the real damage. Ukraine never shows that part 😅

  2321. They didn't shoot down any of the hypersonic ones that's for certain. United States don't even have one hypersonic missile and Russia just fired seven in one day. Shovels.
    8
  2322. Good. They had no business being here in the first place...
    8
  2323. Whoa!! DPA map of the salient area is twice as big as this one. This one makes it appear as if AFU's entire invasion force is completely surrounded....."
    8
  2324. Toyota hit a nerve with the Camry TRD; most people buy a 911 but drive it like its a Camry. So, why not just dress up the Camry like its a 911? I'm too old for it now, but 15 years ago I wouldn't have touched a Camry with a 10-ft pole (I bought an Acura TL). If I were 35 today, I'd skip the Acura and just get the Camry TRD.
    8
  2325. It is "January 1945" in Ukraine; battles still rage...but everyone knows how it is going to end...."
    8
  2326. I read enough about the improvements Nissan made to the CVT around 2017 that I bought a '22 Versa with it for my high school kid. I was willing to give it a try as both the Versa and Sentra knock out their competition in virtually every other category. Heck even ZF, the maker of some of the best transmissions in the world mucked up a bit a few years ago on their transverse 9-spd auto from about a decade ago. They had huge problems but then after a few years worked it out.
    7
  2327. Yeah, but Dima's imperfect command of English is actually a plus when it comes to such a depressing subject. That and his occasional sense of humor; I crack up when he calls Russian motorcycle troops the "Sons of Anarchy" 🤣
    7
  2328. The peace negotiations in Qatar are now off, as Russia withdrew after the Kursk invasion. In addition to Belarus, a group is massing in Zaporizhzhia again for another try. Somebody doesn't want a negotiated settlement..... We all know who that is: the four letter acronym."
    7
  2329. Mossad?
    7
  2330. Now THAT is hilarious!!! 😂😂😂 Karma.
    7
  2331. Yeah, the legal ones who come in because WE need their skills, pass our citizenship test, become Americans. No problem---we love them. The mass of random humanity just walking in whenever and wherever??? Nahh, we are done with that.
    7
  2332. Propaganda. NATO took the Aegis system on naval ships and adapted it for land, calling it "Aegis Ashore". Obviously an ABM right? Wrong. US said "it doesn't violate treaty because this is a ship-based system". LOL----now adapted to land (and fully capable of shooting down ballistic missiles) and they put it in Poland. Ukraine then elects a President that is pro-EU , which of course puts them on a course inevitably for NATO. Now that system can be put in a NATO Ukraine, mere hours from Moscow---something Putin considers a bridge too far. That's the kind of BS games (both sides) play and that's why Russia designed the Avangard---the mach 25 glide vehicle that even Aegis can't stop. We BOTH play this game. Now the game has led to open war...
    7
  2333. Having your unit banner captured usually means you were overrun. Like a Roman Legion allowing its eagle to be captured....."
    7
  2334. Weeb and Milittary Summary reported same thing today. They say AFU began to prioritize the Russians to the east flanking the only supply road into Robotyne as they were decimating any AFU vehicles trying to come down that road now for two weeks. As soon as AFU emphasized attacking in that direction, RU countered on the Verbove side figuring they were now weak on that side. I guess we'll see tomorrow how successful they were.
    7
  2335. Jag is about to totally reinvent itself next year. I just hope they keep the things that made them "Jaguar": the fantastic leather, wood, carpet and general materials quality. The handling that only Porsche and BMW are in the same league. The sound----well the sound is gone forever, nothing they can do about that. 2 outta 3 aint bad...
    7
  2336. ...and 20% will be "lost" while RU destroys half of the rest while it's on a train or in a warehouse
    7
  2337. 99.99% chance it is him.
    7
  2338. Frisco again? As if they place isn't already NYC. Can't the devs spread the "love" around a little more widely?
    7
  2339. Sheinbaum. Mexico. You have got to be kidding me....
    7
  2340. It means very little. They called HIMARS a "game changer" too a year ago. ATACMS is fired from the HIMARS launcher, so the launcher Russia has been hunting and destroying for almost a year now is still the weak point. Just last week the latest version of Lancet attack drone hit a Ukrainian Mig-29 almost 80 km from the front line; its max range was previously 40 km and is now unknown. To reach further ATACMS must be in the sky longer giving AA defense more time to shoot it down. Next year this time we'll be debating the next "game changer"
    7
  2341. Time to turn out the lights for the winter...
    7
  2342. I'm not saying NATO needs to disband, but it is healthy to occasionally look at things you've done so long you've forgotten why you do them. In this case, NATO grew out of the ashes of the original League of Nations. In both cases the aim was to keep world peace. Prior to WW2, this basically meant keeping Germany and France from trying to crush each other. After WW2, the focus was on the Soviets and not allowing Communism to spread. 80 years have passed; no one is alive who remembers those times. It is a good idea to look at things from a fresh perspective and change as needed.
    7
  2343. The power cables are plugged in by hand...
    7
  2344. RU gave Zelensky an ultimatum today (via Belarus). They reminded him that on May 21st he is no longer the legal President of Ukraine. If he does not negotiate terms by then, RU may be forced to "save Ukraine from an Unconstitutional Government". OMG you cannot make this stuff up; reality is better than any Hollywood movie!!!" 😂😂😂
    7
  2345. I really thought that was a joke title. What "tourist" would pay for the privilege of descending two miles down in the ocean????
    7
  2346. not
    7
  2347. A lie, AFU themselves said they put 40 casualties on RU (which means it was really only 20). That means over 150 of the assault troops are inside Konstantynivka...." Try again ukro bot..."
    7
  2348. 140 million people just said EPHH YOU! to the US and UK and their "rules based order" ( their rules only).
    7
  2349. The details are coming in the past few hours. It was an Iskander. I knew it had to be something big to hollow out half a 20 story building like that. Mach 5.9 max hypersonic with 5-7 meter accuracy from 500 km away. Gawd Dam!
    7
  2350. UAE of course. No way in heck any Western country could have done this.
    7
  2351. Denys told you that??? 😂
    7
  2352. You don't build cars profitably for 100 years by following trend or making mistakes. Toyota was right all along: they can build 10 of these with the battery resources used by one BEV and not only will it cost less, it will basically eliminate 90% of ICE emissions with zero need to spend $100B to re-wire the world. Now that COVID has me WFH, 50 miles would last me a WEEK.
    7
  2353. Man, the summary about Syrsky visiting Chasiv Yar and his Generals not wanting to gather there due to memory of what happened to the Polish General had me cracking up.
    7
  2354. Always a Charger or Challenger....those cars should be uninsurable.
    7
  2355. "Thank God for the sea"
    7
  2356. Bridges are military targets, right? That's what Zelensky said when he bombed the family coming home from the beach on Kerch bridge
    7
  2357. The stories that come out of this county make me want to avoid it like the plague
    7
  2358. Vive la resistance! Or something like that....
    7
  2359. ATACMS is a longer range HIMARS; of course they'd eventually shoot some down
    7
  2360. LOL. The Western media calls it "wheedle" when Putin shows statesmanship. When US does it, they gloat and bow and scrape....
    7
  2361. They who? Ukraine? Hahahaha
    7
  2362. One would think that in a place like Thailand, this would have been the norm 50 years ago.
    7
  2363. some, yes, but not all. Especially in the south where AFU has no troops left, it only takes two or three guys to make it to an empty trench for RU to take an entire square km.
    7
  2364. Putin told Scholz "no concessions"; NATO involved itself and have no one to blame but themselves. I mean this is true.... Ukraine is not a NATO country so why is NATO even involved?
    7
  2365. LOL, "fishy"... Meaning he doesn't have any better idea what is going on than the guy in a tent under the bridge.
    7
  2366. No comments by Zaluzhny on the video this week of Ukraine border guards using drones to hunt down men trying to leave to escape conscription?
    7
  2367. Never works out when foreigners fight local warlords. That should ALWAYS be handled internally or it won't stick even if the warlord is defeated. Look at Somalia 1991...
    7
  2368. Russian Navy got some "payback" last night. Truth starting to trickle out now (as it does within a few hours or days of every major attack). That hotel had NATO engineers, technicians, mercenaries and Ukrainian Navy personnel in it; it was the base of operations where NATO/Ukraine initiated attacks on Crimea. Whenever the US Global Hawk flies close to Crimea, Ukraine attacks a few hours later. Russians noticed Global Hawk yesterday, and this time bombed the hotel BEFORE the Ukrainian attack! No attack on Crimea last night. 😂😂😂
    7
  2369. Obama (the Predator President) would approve.
    7
  2370. Things happening so fast now hard to keep up. STILL no North Koreans?? I'm starting to believe their presence was a Russian Psy Op using "asian looking" Russian citizens, and in reality not a single actual North Korean is within 500 km of Kursk.
    7
  2371. I've had 3 BMW's and like those, I'm sure this is a flawlessly built, extremely high quality car with tons of performance and features, and is absolutely worth the money. However I feel absolutely no desire for it. A Giulia Quad looks better, sounds better, costs less, and most importantly, makes me feel emotion. This car is the perfect example of more being less.
    7
  2372. Gen. Petraeus actually describe very well in brief how to defeat Russia's defensive perimeter. Problem is Russia has 1500 combat aircraft vs. Ukraine 80. The General says "we'd just carpet bomb a corridor through the mines...". Like the Russians would just sit there and do nothing. Love these old retired guys playing War Thunder.
    7
  2373. Who is "you"? A Ukrainian?
    7
  2374. At Okinawa, the US actually took more overall casualties than Japan did; IJN had almost no wounded---all were KIA while US had (obviously) a mix of KIA and wounded that exceeded the size of the Japanese force. That's about as "bad" as a battle can go for a victorious attacker and the US Marines didn't ever waver. It had to be taken to end the war, so taken it was. Same here for Russian Army; just do what must be done.
    7
  2375. Cool! There was a second smaller explosion too; pretty much anyone within that visible "shockwave" is dead----their insides flattened into mush. I'm just waiting for a Challenger to be blown up by a captured Javelin missile. That would be karma; UK tank blown up by US arms. Fitting as those are the two biggest instigators.
    7
  2376. Can't you delete those dumb repetitive comments? Anyway, former US Army Col. Davis words keep coming back to me from his interview last week. "It looks like a tactical stalemate, but that is deceiving. AFU combat power is shrinking while RU combat power is increasing. Ukraine will crack, and it will be sudden and complete."
    7
  2377. Reports today UK has given Ukraine Storm Shadow missiles. THAT is a game changer because now Ukraine can bomb Russia proper.
    7
  2378. Already fallen.
    7
  2379. "sticky bomb" attack from Saving Private Ryan
    7
  2380. RU don't really seem to be concerned with pushing whatever AFU are still in Kursk out? Kursk never was a military risk; is it now no longer even a political one?
    7
  2381. I said years ago the only reason Tesla looks good is they have no competition. When GM, Ford, VW, Diamler, BMW, Stellantis and Toyota join the party they will be swept off the Earth with ease.
    7
  2382. With what? Harsh language? Russia in just the past two days took back ALL the gains from the $20B NATO-trained army last summer. He may need to go to the Men of the Mountain and ask the Army of the Dead for help...
    7
  2383. Who knows if it is just a "PR stunt"?? Those ships can continue on to deliver "gifts" to Cuba, Venezuela, Bolivia, and anyone in the region who has had enough of Uncle Sam bullying them and telling them what to do. "An Iskander for you, an Oniks for you, a couple of Zircons for you,..... 🤣
    7
  2384. I have long wondered exactly this and have NEVER seen or heard ANY estimate of it. Many times just asking about it on YT articles even a year ago just got the question deleted. 400 is a little bit higher than I expected; I was thinking it had to be about 200 or so.
    7
  2385. US/UK along with Budanov will just try again
    7
  2386. I know this is a great driver's car; but I'm a Libra so I like balance and beauty in all things. For that reason I got a TLX Type-S over this; ugly can only go so far with me.
    7
  2387. LOL. It spikes oil prices but does nothing to stop the Russian steamroller. The fires are put out, the damage fixed and nothing changes, while RU takes city after city after city.
    7
  2388. ​ @JacobSigstein you state that like you just realized it
    7
  2389. The Vicky Nuland interview pretty much said the quiet part out loud: "...we wanted a Westernized Russia (and Ukraine) that would be more European..." The reason we are on the brink laid bare. Iraq 2003/Afghanistan - style regime change and world building on the mega scale. A million lost already with no sign of let up; how many of us will fall in service to this "vision".?
    7
  2390. IKR, almost like the Russians want them to come in there....
    7
  2391. How they paying them since US didn't send $60B?
    7
  2392. Say goodbye to Selydove; I remember right after Avdiivka fell, Selydove was far behind the line of combat. Now it is the line of combat..."
    7
  2393. Out of the 43 how many were British and US mercenaries this time?
    7
  2394. Yup. Preparing your hearts and minds (ok, maybe not your hearts)....
    7
  2395. I am now convinced NATO will enter Ukraine this year to: 1. Prevent a full takeover, if only to protect their investment of hundreds of billions. 2. To deter their own members who are already making designs on parts of Ukraine territory. 3. Prevent the "not seen in 70 years" security risk of a now POed Bear right on the Polish and Romanian border. They will go in, Russia will stop wherever they are, and both will negotiate mutually agreeable terms.
    7
  2396. US GOP candidate Vivek said Ukraine gives up Donbas and never goes NATO and he can end the war. I may vote for him
    7
  2397. Sweden can't allow the US Navy into the Black Sea like Ukraine can so no big threat to Russia. In terms of distance for the American missiles based on their territory, Finland is far more a threat than Sweden. As long as they play with their NATO friends and keep to themselves, no problem with Russia for Sweden. Carry on...
    7
  2398. Surprised the UK even has any planes that are operational.
    7
  2399. I really like the Z and will get a manual before they are gone. Everything you need, nothing you don't.
    7
  2400. Good. Russia moved 8 warships into the Black Sea, and 8 more into the Mediterranean, each armed with 16 Kalibr missiles. That little Russian girl on the bridge is named Angelina. Say her name Ukraine!!
    7
  2401. I was born after Vietnam, so I've never seen the "global chessboard" up for grabs to this degree in my life. Nations and blocs are ALL behaving as if nuclear weapons were never invented, as if they can settle old scores and new ones with conventional arms only.
    7
  2402. "Orientation training"??? LOL!! If a Ukrainian pilot manages to get airborne, Russia will swat him out of the sky within minutes. Ukraine will have to park the planes inside a mountain as Russia watches ALL airports 24/7 and will Lancet or Iskander them the moment they see them. Sweden don't want to be the latest NATO member to be made a fool of. 😂😂😂
    7
  2403. Join EU and immigrants will fill it back up…
    7
  2404. The Nordic dominated West tried to subdue Russia in 1812 and 1941 , for the same reason...her vast resources. This week they tried for a 3rd time in history; the results will be the same..."
    7
  2405. Destroying 50+ enemy officers and you ask such a question?
    7
  2406. The UK will never live the "shovel" comment down.
    7
  2407. Su-24 base where Storm Shadow attacks originate has been obliterated by a barrage of missiles.
    7
  2408. ​ @robertscott961 Leave Ukraine to US and UK and allow them to dominate Russia? RU has the right to live free of threats
    7
  2409. Syrsky's AFU regulars are near Lyptsi, Budanov's gang of special forces, and mercenaries are near Vovchansk. Both have been blaming each other all week; let's see whose line is defeated first.
    7
  2410. I read that all you hear now in Ukraine is the constant clatter of thousands of diesel or gas generators
    7
  2411. Anyone else notice how the Western Media dropped "Spring Offensive" a couple weeks ago and now exclusively use the term "Counteroffensive".... 🙂
    7
  2412. NK will give him a nice apartment, a lifetime stipend, a pretty wife and 50 years from now CNN will interview him at age 75 and he'll say "best decision I ever made!"
    7
  2413. Do Sky readers know the first 45 seconds is Ukrainian Western-provided armor being blown up by Russian missiles ?? I'm astounded Sky has used such video..."
    7
  2414. These are distractions. Heavy equipment moves by rail, not by road and roads are very easy to repair. As to the Storm Shadow threat, Russia has moved assets into Belarus to be able to react more quickly to targets in Western Ukraine. Most of AFU remaining air power is as far from Russia as possible. If our mil bloggers can report on YouTube that Mig-31 and Tu-160 are in the air in Russia, NATO has told AFU an hour before; this allows things to be moved before the Kinzhals hit. Now the attacks are coming from Belarus so there is no time to move out of the way.
    7
  2415. That is the new defense minister already having an impact. The new guy is a economics whiz, not a military guy----Putin put him in charge precisely to get the Military into top financial shape. When you are preparing to fight 30 enemies all by yourself, there can be no waste or inefficiency.
    7
  2416. 18 months ago, whenever I said "the Russian steamroller is coming"; YouTube would delete it. 😂 One time I got a warning that I was posting "misinformation" and I responded "how can historically accurate precedent be misinformation???" 😂😂
    7
  2417. How can there be "unity" when all NATO members are not equal?? The United States always gets what it wants; you think the same can be said of Portugal or Estonia????😂
    7
  2418. 32,000 years....wow. The sky was blue, the rivers ran, the wind blew, the rain fell, wolves hunted prey. No different than yesterday afternoon; and no different than 32,000 years from now.
    7
  2419. I had a 2013 Cadillac CTS with a 3.0l NA V6 with 270hp and over three years my avg. mpg was 18.9. This car has smashingly good fuel economy for what it is.
    7
  2420. The issue is not this specific attack, the issue is now the US will feel like "hey, nothing happened; we can send 1000 tomahawks in there and the Russians won't do anything." A lot of wars in history have begun because one side was "boxed in" by the other and felt they had no choice....
    7
  2421. By the time it gets there, the Marines of the Pacific Fleet will be the only ones in town to receive it....
    7
  2422. The northern hemisphere was saved last night. Saved from a ruinous war with no winner , the only reason for which was simple power and greed. UK was complicit and when the accountability appears (and it will in due time), those who enabled it will have the harsh light of justice shown upon them
    7
  2423. Well they had a chance to surrender. They chose their fate...
    7
  2424. I wish I could attend that show. That is a lot of 5th Gen hardware flying around, and in the case of the Su-57, it has actual combat operations experience, and so far, no one has even seen it when it attacks. When I was a child in 1983, the US F-15 and F-16 had no real competition, even from France, UK, and Russia. This was years before the Typhoon, Rafale, Gripen,the Mig-29 was in pre-production, while the Su-27 was still a prototype. There was nothing on the earth that could even challenge the US Air Force. Now, there are so many planes capable of defeating the F-22 and F-35, I cannot even count them all. A lot has changed in 40 years...
    7
  2425. This was an act of pure desperation; my 14 year old could connect the dots on this one. After Joe's cataclysmic self-immolation last week, the Shadow Council hurriedly chose "Option B"...."
    7
  2426. Zelensky will stay in power as long as his people accept the consequences on themselves. When they have had enough, the war will end.
    7
  2427. Odessa should have been reduced to rubble long ago. How can you let your enemy sell its resources and fund its war against you?? Madness. Now that there is no grain deal, no reason to leave it standing. Burn the whole thing down....
    7
  2428. Few dealers and leftover bad reputation for Italian cars in the US from the 1970s, mostly. My 2017 Giulia 2.0 is at 87K miles now and I only had to replace the AC compressor. No local shop will work on Alfa as too few on the road so I had to go to dealer ($1800). Never had any electronic problems; Italian leather seats still butter smooth (even the leather dash has not lifted). I would rate Alfa about on the level of BMW 330i, higher than a Benz C-Class (piston cracking anyone?), and lower than Audi (that EA888 Gen 2 and higher engine is an unstoppable beast). New is easy, its under warranty so who cares? The car is as close as a mere mortal will ever get to a Ferrari sport sedan; its dynamics are THAT good. If you aren't in a major city with independent shops that will work on Alfa, I would not advise to buy used and keep long term.
    7
  2429. Well duhh!! Its unwinnable and your death is almost guaranteed if you go sit in a trench and try to stop Storm-Z!!!
    7
  2430. When was the last time Russia lost a fixed wing aircraft? I can't even recall----yet 100+ FAB-500s falling every day. Ukraine has no theater air defense anywhere along any front. However the Ka-52s have to be careful to stay at max range now, some new Swedish MANPAD has 8km range. Nasty, though the Su-34s are running wild.
    7
  2431. The "Humble Pie" tasting good? Need some more salt, or pepper??
    7
  2432. she has a new boyfriend and is having the time of her life?
    7
  2433. Looks like they got it 95% right; however for me the deal breaker is that iPad in my face. I hate that look with a passion; if that is optional then fine if someone else wants it. Also, for this kind of vehicle my preference would be a NA V8 for its longevity, on that alone I'd prefer the Yukon. Almost Ford, almost.
    7
  2434. When they evolve to the point they can drive me home from a bar---LEGALLY----even if I'm passed out drunk, then I'm in. Until then all this "advanced driver assistance tech" just gets in my dam way. I turn all that isht off.
    7
  2435. Ukraine offensive has taken 0.08% of land in exchange for 65,000 casualties.
    7
  2436. The reason returning POWs get an exemption is because the terms of their release was that they never fight again. Russia has all their names; if they are caught fighting again they'll either be shot or imprisoned for a decade. Many AFU in Avdiivka were former POWs and when the city was encircled they could not escape so they huddled in the coking plant and Russia had to basically delete them as they wouldn't surrender.
    7
  2437. You never cared as long as they were only in Arizona and Texas.
    7
  2438. The "come to Jesus" moment. Will Biden choose us or Ukraine?
    7
  2439. Ukrainian nationalists tried in 1941. Didnt work out very well
    7
  2440. I don't think I've ever seen a double double-envelopment before....a "quadruple envelopment"? Ukraine is adding new terminology to the record of military history----and not in a good way..."
    7
  2441. Only a few ultra-nerd historians can see it now; for the average "Joe' it takes years for historical perspective to be apparent. This war will be among the worst foreign policy disasters of the United States. The repercussions will be immense and will last decades, possibly even a century. In less than two years, Russia has obtained intact examples of virtually every NATO armored vehicle currently extant. Every anti-tank, and anti-aircraft weapons currently extant. Every artillery system, whether projectile or rocket based, currently extant. Most American combat drones currently extant. Not only that, the electronic warfare suite of NATO weaponry from the cheapest drone, to the most expensive missile are now recorded digitally for the next generation of Russian engineers to study. Only the US Navy hasn't had her "skirt lifted" to the degree the Army and Air Force has in this war. Russian weaponry in 2053 will trace their ancestry in propulsion, navigation, targeting, and avionics to lessons learned from the Ukraine war. Biden will be regarded on the level of Benedict Arnold in terms of how much of America's knowledge and intelligence resources he gave away in this ill-fated adventure.
    7
  2442. Ukraine has no planes no ships; how they get there and who supports them?? LOL. Rishi....
    7
  2443. This ends in five months...
    7
  2444. Rumor is Russia "accidentally" triggered a nuclear alert. Just the Bear showing its teeth again...
    7
  2445. With no starlink for FPV drone control, AFU going on the offensive with no drones is suicide. 🙂
    7
  2446. It wasn't a missile; Ukraine doesn't have any missiles to waste on bombing a town square. This was artillery shelling (just like months ago when Ukraine shelled the same town for a few weeks). As such, kinda hard to argue they didn't intend for the shells to land where they did.
    7
  2447. I hear the 43rd Reddit Territorial Airborne Assault Mechanized Marine Brigade of the AFU is considering surrender...
    7
  2448. They'll be on buses to Chicago and NYC in a few weeks.
    7
  2449. Avdiivka has only hours and the Zircon hypersonic missile has entered the chat! Mach EIGHT!!!! The Bear is on a rampage and nothing or no one can stop him!
    7
  2450. Looks just like Gaza....
    7
  2451. So its true the report yesterday that Zelensky ordered Zaluzhny to hold Avdiivka at all costs?
    7
  2452. The only metric that matters is casualties. Ukraine can put its last 10 soldiers into Tokmak and say "we've reached Tokmak" , then they die and Russia wins. Relative losses is the only way to accurately guage the battle and none of us know what these numbers are so we are all just enjoying ourselves arguing like drunks at a football match.
    7
  2453. ...and what will NATO give in return? We are negotiating are we not?
    7
  2454.  @nicklindberg90  Ok, then let's keep fighting.
    7
  2455. Scholz: "Zee? Now you know why I refused to give them the Taurus missile!"
    7
  2456. Hyundai and Kia are too vertically integrated. Their parent companies all use in house components making them cheaper, but nothing is best of breed. Engines blow up, DCTs grind to pieces, etc. Their EVs may change this but I'd wait at least five more years before trusting their EVs. Toyota for me.
    7
  2457. Wars always get nastier in their final stages and this one is no different. Every day we see news we could not have imagined exactly one year ago. I know for certain Russia will win because their history shows they'll endure TWENTY MILLION casualties in order to do so and I know neither Ukraine nor NATO can match that. The only things I don't know are what new horrors we will witness before the war ends. The Iskander that wiped out almost 200 people----most of them military, but a large number simply industry specialists (and Russian surely knew this)---a day ago simply echoes the massive bombardment of cities in WW2 where both sides acknowledged they were trying to kill the workers in factories. We are now at that stage of this war.
    7
  2458. Israel attacked them first so....
    7
  2459. Zelensky demanded "500 meters a day" four days ago. Has AFU moved 2 km in any direction in that time?
    7
  2460. This is as exciting as the late 1980s at the peak of the Cold War. The hunt for the F-16 has begun!! The propaganda will be at fever pitch as the political value of the F-16 is enormous.... Zelensky has asked for them since January, 2023. If they do well, he will say "see, if you gave them to me before I would have been in the Kremlin by now!" If they fail, and RU puts a captured one in Patriot Park, Zelensky will move on to the next "game changer" : a Ford class super carrier..."
    7
  2461. Looks like return of the Ottoman Empire...
    7
  2462. 400 years at least; to fully counter the disastrous effects of Anglo -Saxon hegemony on non-Anglo-Saxon people
    7
  2463. Probably should plan on all seven million of them traveling to the US without a visa. One-way. There are only 7 million Jews in Israel and they are surrounded by at least 120 million people who now want their blood more than ever.
    7
  2464. Two years ago I'd never have imagined it, but here we are. I think we are going into the Abyss; Russia and Iran will sit back and watch us demilitarize ourselves fighting their proxies in 20 different countries at the same time.
    7
  2465. Vietnam took 10,000 days and we lost. Russia wins in 1/10th the time...
    7
  2466. Define "break front" because the last few months looks a lot to me like broken fronts everywhere
    7
  2467. Russia destroyed the starlink station in Kherson about 2 weeks ago, and they apparently are able to jam the signals even in areas where it still works. One Ukraine officer said losing starlink was more impactful than losing their fighter jets, because starlink was ALL of their drone controls. American GPS has long been jammed by Russia (why many JDAMs miss), so Ukraine only had starlink. That is gone now, which is why there have been very few videos of Ukraine drones on the Internet recently----nothing like the amount we saw January to May. Armistice. Now.
    7
  2468. Russia has 10x the artillery, for every one fired at them, 10 will come back to Ukraine
    7
  2469. US thought only they could have satellite guided bombs because they own GPS 😂
    7
  2470. For a conscript or convict with four weeks training; does it really make any difference if a FAB-1500 lands near you or a FAB-3000????"
    7
  2471. Houthis 1, Royal Navy 0
    7
  2472. What more can be said; Russia batted away a $20B NATO-trained army and to do it all they did was sit behind their lines and blow it to bits. Zaluzhny admitted its a "stalemate" a month ago, but since then Russia has taken back all AFU's gains from the summer near Bakhmut. Lloyd Austin went to Kyiv last week and told them to build strong defenses around Kharkiv and Kyiv. That doesn't sound like they were planning on giving Ukraine another 300 tanks, and 1500 vehicles to try again next year as how would it be different? It sounds like the goal is "preserve what's left". All you hear in our media is "Russia took 315,000 casualties" (as if Ukraine didn't take the same or more). Russias conscript age max is 27 as it always has been; Ukraine's has been raised three times and now stands at age 70. If all of that can't convince Biden to shut this thing down and negotiate, Russia is right, there has to be someone different to talk to.
    7
  2473. "Counterattack" ??? Where? With what troops?? 47th Azov was just rushed from Ocheretnye to Chasiv Yar , and predictably Ocheretnye fell today. Ukraine can't even hold in more than one place at a time and "counterattack"? Ahahahahaha.....omg....please...stop. Ahahahahaha!
    7
  2474. These RU conscripts are all 18/19 yr old boys posted in "quiet" sectors. RU wants them back....."
    7
  2475. With the COVID and Ukraine war inflation, should adjust the "$1B" into constant dollars so we can compare its performance to "Jaws" , "Star Wars" , "Jurassic Park" etc.

  2477. Liberal Democrat Nirvana. Just doing what the party in power wants them to do.
    7
  2478. CNN doesn't report it, but it's clear Russia has gone ape-shit the past week with bombardment in Ukraines interior. The last four or five days summaries are just constant rain of Iskander, guided bombs, Tornado-S strikes in over 70 towns. The vids are all by Orlan drone and half at night so no idea what is being hit. Some do show rockets popping off after the strike so I'm sure ammo dumps are a large number of targets. The Naval attack was spectacular, and NATO appears to be taking the gloves off, but Russia also seems to have upped its game.
    7
  2479. 0-60 in 4.5 seconds. Joe: "That may not seem fast..."

  2480. Titanic sitting there like "really, I've been down here for 111 years and took 1,517 lives with me and you send me 5 more?? Enough! I have enough ghosts already!"
    7
  2481. So many times over the past year, what appeared to be an AFU tactical advantage, turned out to be a Russian lure or trap or otherwise precisely what RU wanted them to think/do. It has happened so often that for the past few months I honestly do not believe any initial report of a Ukrainian "success", no matter how small. I never believed the "we shot down five Su-34s", nor do I believe the absence of guided bombs on Kryinky area is simply due to a plane being shot down. RU has earned a fair amount of skepticism regarding any AFU claims against them; until I see more proof, I believe RU simply finds it unnecessary to use guided bombs in that area as the troop concentration is not worth it. Tornado or TOS rockets are a much cheaper option and are now likely more suited for the situation.
    7
  2482. One thing the last week has shown is that the rank and file of the West have no fear of open war with Russia. NATO's leaders would not follow a course of escalation that can only result in direct confrontation if they did not have popular support. Look at the plethora of new NATO equipment on display inside Russia: the few tanks are old, but virtually every wheeled armored vehicle I've seen over the past week is brand new. Canadian Senator APCs?? When has Russia ever threatened Canada?? Western analysts say this "surge" is to force Russia into more favorable negotiations, but when in the last century has Russia responded to escalation with capitulation??? At Stalingrad, the Germans had come so close to victory, they actually had the victorious battle patches made for Gen. Von Paulus' 6th Army. Those patches are still in the boxes in which they were shipped 80 years ago; never made it onto the uniforms of the German soldiers...."

  2483. My daughter is 17. 3.9 gpa, gymnastics 8 years, drill team officer, got into Baylor. Why such a contrast? Parents. I wasn't "in and out", I've been there since my daughter came out her mother's belly up to the moment I'm writing this. This young lady could have achieved all that my daughter has and more, but she never had a chance because she wasn't born to me and my wife. Simple. Sad.
    7
  2484.  @hate-chan4369  but Ukraine has been given $250B in weapons, THREE times Russia's annual military budget, from THIRTY-ONE allies. You should expect more from them, shouldn't you??
    7
  2485. I wish I could donate money to Russia. What NATO is doing in Ukraine is naked opportunism at its purest.
    7
  2486. Like Dad having a "come to Jesus" with a petulant, mouthy teenager who doesn't want to listen to wisdom and reality.
    7
  2487. WHO is currently shooting at American planes??? The Houthis?? You can't be serious.
    7
  2488. The bond is just to ensure he doesn't flee and show up for trial, and only 10% is needed to bond out. $100K is not that much fior the middle class or higher. They can pull out 401K , equity in house, etc. to keep their suburban teen out of county lockup.
    7
  2489. This artifice of "here, shoot this at my enemy for me so I don't get in trouble with him" is going to fall apart very soon right in front of our eyes. NATO has found that its older, simpler weapons can't hurt Russia, so it want to use its new, advanced ones. However it takes years of training and a multi-domain professional military to use advanced weaponry---something Ukraine doesn't have. Biden could give Ukraine a Ford-class supercarrier, but Ukraine couldn't find 10 men qualified to operate it. So that means the US Navy would have to, and at that point, the US and Russia are at war; Ukraine is just the battlefield.

  2490. Azov officers? Who cries for them? No one!

  2491. Why Telgraph put quotes around the word espionage? Dude, was caught red-handed...."
    7
  2492. Almost 200 missiles and drones and only 12 killed?? IDF would consider that a waste of valuable military resources...
    7
  2493. Judging on the performance of UK-trained AFU, is this an act of wisdom or desperation?? The marines in Krinky were completely destroyed. Every attempt at landing in Crimea repulsed. The Kursk pocket has barely changed in 10 days now. I mean....is anyone doing any post training performance evaluation??""
    7
  2494. My guess is her question isn't literal; your $100K CD is obviously literally different than the interest payment you get from it. I think her question is more philosophical: does it really make any difference if I steal your CD or the interest payments only?? Sure the amount is very different, but you wouldn't like it either way from a moral standpoint, right?
    7
  2495.  @Manassasjunction  Pretty sure in both cases there was about 1000 tons of shells from the US Navy as preparatory bombardment!!!

  2504. Was in 7-Eleven a couple days ago and there is a life size cut out of Olivia Dunne, the college girl making all the boys crazy. I vividly remember when I was in college, all the ball players from Michigan, Duke, North Carolina, etc. were nationally known, yet ate Ramen in the dorm and drove a beater just like the rest of us. If one of them even tried to "cash in", no matter how minor----even getting extra school cafeteria dining cards---instant NCAA investigation and they were "shamed" mercilessly. Now, Olivia makes more in one day than all the school staff salaries combined. No "shame" needed.
    7
  2505. Looks like the amateur bloggers were right yesterday: This was Ukraine covering its redeployment from Kherson to Zaporizhzhia region where they were blunted two days ago. They could not move their main combat force from Kherson without risking the Russians just walking through there in their absence. They blew the dam to ruin the area for offensive action for either side. It appears the NATO-trained hammer blow is going to strike in Zaporizhzhia. Ukraine only has one army; it can't be in two places at once and if they split it up it will be weak and easily crushed in detail. The "Big Dance" is going to be in Zaporizhzhia (no surprise, it was either Kherson or Zaporizhzhia).
    7
  2506. I am really enjoying watching the steamroller do its thing; who doesn't enjoy it when their words from 26 months ago are proven right? I am sad and angry though; I have no malice to Ukraine, but those in the Biden Admin that set this course for them make me shiver in rage. Why? Because I know from 40 years of being an American, that they will not suffer ANY consequence, while Ukraine's people will suffer EVERY consequence.
    7
  2507. I bought my first new BMW in 2000; an '01 325i Coupe with Sport/pkg. $35K out the door. That is about $58K today so this is what I'd be buying if I were 28 again. 🙂 My car had the 2.5l I6 at 170hp lol----this thing has almost 400!!! For about the same real world price!! You kids are lucky SOBs...
    7
  2508. ...all Democrat Hell breaks loose.
    7
  2509. Who said they were Russian "victories"?? Not one word I've seen in two weeks from RU about "victory". They are on the defense; victory is simply destroying Ukrainian army and keeping what Russia already has. They are doing that. They keep doing that unitl Ukraine has no army left or gives up, that = Victory.

  2515. $61B of American taxpayer money at work.

  2516. 10 yesterday, 9 a couple of days before that. There are over 50 Pantsir-S1 systems in Crimea alone. That is over 600+ AA missiles in an area less than 1/20th the size of Ukraine. Nothing that flies gets through that...
    7
  2517. Giving them a "work permit" will just send the message to the 30 million still on the fence in their home countries to come on in.
    7
  2518. ....and we all hear about it RIGHT AFTER the US Senate approves $95B or Israel/Ukraine/Taiwan, and the US House must decide whether to vote on it or not. Yeah, "coincidence" 😂
    7
  2519. I knew Russia could not possibly be taking anywhere near the casualties of AFU over the past few months. How could they be when they are sitting in holes in the ground, while artillery and Lancets work over the AFU who are advancing on them, and Russians only have to face danger from the AFU that have survived and made it close enough to engage them??? Even if the AFU at that point is inflicting casualties on RU at a 1:1 ratio, THEY LOST 50 SOLDIERS JUST GETTING THERE!
    7
  2520. It would seem so. There is video today of Wagner "musicians" with a T-90M blasting any building that has Ukrainian stragglers in it.

  2521. That is a beautiful bird
    7
  2522. I try to imagine WW2 or Vietnam fought in the age of social media....and I just cannot. Even Iraq 2003 was not affected to this degree by social media. Social media is not only recording the historic events of this war, it is exerting influence on them as well...
    7
  2523. I love how the cop drills him while moving smoothly backward; just enough to end the threat and no wasted movement or panic. Ice.
    7
  2524. I didn't even need to go this far; nothing moving at Mach 10---with a visible plasma sheath around it----could hit the ground and retain its shape. Even if the AA missile somehow separated the nose cone from the missile body and the nose cone fell, its STILL moving at Mach 10. Ukraine and CNN know who their audience is....
    7
  2525. Just read a report Zaluzhny has told Zelensky the offensive is unsustainable due to massive losses for little to no gain, and he recommends to halt. Zelensky didn't listen 8 months ago when he told him don't waste 50K soldiers to defend Bakhmut; let's see if Zelensky listens this time. I doubt he will; the Western Media has pumped him up so he believes he is a Lincoln or Churchill.
    7
  2526. Lack of reported advances.... The main Ukraine war mapper been offline since Monday. Rybar. Budanov either convinced him to go dark, or made him go dark..."
    7
  2527. We told you four months ago that Russia was stocking up with thousands of washing machines. Again, just like before the war when they were on your border, last year when you had a deal and let UK talk you out of it, and last summer when US told you don't send the army to Bakhmut, you didn't listen and made a poor choice.
    7
  2528. Feminism. 100%
    7
  2529. I thought exactly the same thing, but my guess is a lot of those targets are artillery and/or drone squads. It is the artillery/fpv keeping the RU forces back from wiping out the AFU infantry beachhead. That must be suppressed before RU soldiers can go in there and wipe them out. Artillery gun only 3 to 5 crew, fpv team only 1-3. It could take 40 or 50 bombs to hang 120 KIA/200 wounded on AFU in such a situation. Just a guess....

  2533. How you think Europe pays for the lavish benefits and healthcare they all enjoy the past 80 years??? By NOT spending much on defense (and leaving that to the US). Guess what? It is 2024 and not 1944 and America is not the same as it was 80 years ago. Germany/France/UK had massive armies not that long ago....ya'll can do it again if you have to.

    7
  2536. I agree with the "let's sell fewer for a higher price as our profit is higher" assessment because I started hearing that in late 2021. The pandemic killed all sales for a few months, but when people came back they paid a premium and the manufacturers discovered if they can sell fewer for a higher price, they make a bigger profit. I think we are seeing the "new normal". I'm 48 and when I was a kid, only the richest man on the block had a Mercedes. There were no leases; if you saw someone in a Caddy or Benz they had some coin. I don't know but it is possible; it may be that building 100 RAM TRX's and selling them for $100K puts more profit in Stellantis' hands than building 500 of them and selling them for $80K??
    7
  2537. Remember a few weeks ago some bright star in the Ukrainian MoD decided to have a military drone show with officers and industry engineers? In a war zone? Russia wasn't invited, but attended anyway via Iskander-M 😂😂

  2542. Ukraine announced yesterday they are building largest military cemetery in possibly the world. At least as large as Arlington National Cemetery in the United States, and the war isn't even over yet. Ukraine is 10% of US population with same size military cemetery. Let that sink in...
    7
  2543. Germany and UK have not enough tanks left to defend a soccer stadium. US has no shells left so they make war ciminals of themselves and send old banned cluster shells. Russia is actually "demilitarizing" NATO 😂
    7
  2544. "Intensify"? RU already slapping AFU with the kitchen sink; what more can they use?

  2548. BBC interviewed some AFU in Chasiv Yar and the guys building and operating the drones were early 20s, but the guys out in the streets and bunkers were all in their 60s. One looked as if he could be close to 70. The young ones that don't know any better maybe, but I can't for the life of me figure out why a 65 year old Ukrainian would fight to the death so NATO can use his land...."

  2557. This comment makes no sense. US not at war with Russia, Ukraine is. The only way a "traitor" could be in the US would be because he is a Ukrainian (and you'd be right since he should be back home in the Territorial Defense, not hiding here in Miami).

It is going to be very tough for me as an American once WW3 starts because up to now, the only American casualties are the "Tik Tok" warriors who volunteered to go because they thought war was fun. Those that survived, left last summer right before the "Counteroffensive" because they knew their chances of survival were about zero. However, even if we start it, once it is US Army vs. RU Army of course I have to choose my own country over Russia, even though I know our government is the aggressor. I MUST vote Trump in before that happens...."

  2561. Two weeks ago, Zelensky toured all the Fronts and the next day AFU sent the house in all three Fronts. At first, I thought he toured all his commands to inspire his troops; I now realize he was saying goodbye as he knew he'd never see most of them alive again.

    7
  2567. Yeah, been hearing about this "active defense" from Zaluzhny now for a couple of weeks. This is just what is known as a "fighting retreat"; nothing new. This is military academy textbook for such a situation as this where you are not completely beaten, but you are just not strong enough to hold your positions. Are the Russians using that phrase?

  2571. Yes, yes we all know he was a DEM; the important thing we don't know is if Ukraine government was involved...."
    7
  2572. There are about 400 commercial airliners still in Russia that were frozen the day the SMO began. Their value is around $100B and most are European carriers. All Putin would have to do is repaint them and make them Aeroflot 😂

    7
  2576. No surprise; the Iskander and Kinzhal have shattered NATO and they can't stop them. Even worse, no NATO country has even a single operational hypersonic missile of their own, making stealing the secrets extremely important. Like any weapon eventually the secrets will spread, but can't blame Russia for trying to push that day out as far as possible. Reminds me of "Rogue One" when the Director of the Death Star program killed a bunch of top scientists (both to motivate the lead scientist to finish the project, and to ensure the secrets of the superweapon were known by as few people as possible).

  2577. It will last longer than Ukraine!!

  2578.  @off6848  ahhh, thx. DPA did say "this doesn't mean AFU occupies this area" but a picture is worth a thousand words..."
    7
  2579. You mean the Patriot that two weeks ago in Kyiv fired all 32 of its $4M missiles at the Kinzhal and all missed? The Kinzhal then hitting Budanov's Intelligence HQ and he is now barely alive in a hospital in Germany? That Patriot?
    7
  2580. Is this part of the $61B package or a fresh dip into our tax money?

  2581. All the military summary channels say it was Ukrainian HQ but keep telling your sheep that "Russia only has shovels" 😂😂😂

  2584. Taiwan better start negotiations now; if they think the US can supply them indefinitely vs. the economic and manufacturing might of China, they are fools.
    6
  2585. No amount of training can prepare soldiers for the real thing; if this is true it benefits both NK and Russia. SK says they are "1500 special forces", of course you have to be willing to believe SK. Imagine getting 1500 Green Berets; they already know how to shoot, drive vehicles, use a wide array of arms, but they have zero experience (especially their officers). Russia gets additional, already-trained manpower, while North Korea gains real combat experience for its elite forces. Something they can get nowhere else, and the experience for their junior officers and NCOs which are the backbone of any army, will be invaluable to NK.

  2586. Blinken is like Nosferatu; everywhere he goes, he only brings Death with him.
    6
  2587. I agree. Stop holding up the peace negotiations.
    6
  2588. Kids will just find another app to use. Won't really stop anything. What is needed is an age 18+ restriction on all social media accounts.

  2589. No. They cannot. Even that warmonger Anthony Blinken said they won't change anything.
    6
  2590. So this split has nothing about the border at all?? How is this "progress"?
    6
  2591. Wagner is finishing up training 45,000 Belorussian troops. However, Wagner is good at assault tactics; storming towns and such. Not sure how much need there is for that in Mali, Sudan, and Burkina Faso. Eh, you gotta start somewhere I guess...
    6
  2592. Did HIMARS? Did JDAM? Did Western tanks? S-300 will blow a 46 year old design right outta the sky with ease. They won't get any closer than a Mig.
    6
  2593. Everyone has a different definition of "winning" so it is impossible to determine which side is doing so. All I know is that one year ago the "Special Military Operation" was a decapitation strike----regime change---Russia wanted the Zelensky government gone and a pro-Russia government in its place. NATO made that impossible so that "operation" Russia lost. However, Russia retreated to more defensible positions, and for the past 9 months has been doing something that looks a lot like "winning" to me, but I have no idea because I don't know what their goal is.
    6
  2594. Won't matter. The territory is not the point, the point is membership in NATO. Any part of Ukraine in NATO means the US can put missiles on that land. Which, is the whole reason for the war. Ukraine, no matter how big or small, must be neutral and host no NATO missiles. "Demilitarized"
    6
  2595. Judging by how Russian Army has inflicted massive losses on Ukraine in the first month of this "offensive", I'd say their morale is higher than its ever been. None of them fear Leopards and Bradley's...in fact they welcome them so they can get the bonus for destroying them.
    6
  2596. Yeah, I watched this channel and enjoyed it before the war. However, his pro-NATO stance turned me off soon after. As a historian he should understand what is really going on and why a few elites in the US/UK want to bring Putin's Russia down.
    6
  2597. Hard to believe that after almost two years, anyone watching this channel is not aware S-300 missile complex is air to air OR air to ground.
    6
  2598. BM-21 Grad: $50,000 M-270 HIMARS: $4,700,000 RU will take that math. 🤣🤣🤣
    6
  2599. Look at the river of yellow markers! That's more shells than the Russians use taking out Bradleys in Ukraine! Was she the wife of a Cartel member or something?? Holy overkill!
    6
  2600. Looks like Verdun. After the war we will find out just what is in Artemovsk that made them fight over it the entire time. There must be a Stargate to another planet under that city or something....
    6
  2601. I'm a child of the Cold War, so for me to support Russia is almost against my religion. Yet, here I am in full support of Russia. Why? Because NATO has become what it beheld: an instrument of tyranny. As in many cases where one forges an unexpected new path in life, I didn't leave NATO, NATO left me.
    6
  2602. If he does it means he accepts that he cannot win re-election. Such an act will anger his base, and not a single GOP voter will pull the lever for him even if they are happy at what he has done. There is nothing for him to gain politically; it would only be in exchange to get that $61B for Ukraine and Israel before he is voted out. A last gasp of the 75 years of "Pax Americana" that provided no "Pax" at all...
    6
  2603. Dumbest thing I've ever heard. RU has 5x the troops and 10x the firepower. They'll just keep coming until they take it all back..."

  2604. When the war is over, I'll visit Russia and see these same Bradleys in a monument called "Bradley Square".

  2605.  @sns4748  ...and Gershkovich was arrested in sight of the tank factory he was watching, trying to gauge production levels by how many trucks were entering/leaving. What is your point?

  2606. Then why has my salary not doubled since 2019? Has yours??

  2607. Bought a '12 XK-R in Kyanite Blue four years ago. I said to myself "this thing is a MONSTER! Like a Corvette that graduated from college"; I couldn't believe they were selling for what I got it for. Now, it is worth $10K more and because of this video in another year it'll be worth an additional $10K. THANKS!!
    6
  2608. Just as at the last Battle of the Bulge. The skies cleared and the Mustangs and Thunderbolts ran wild on the Panzers..... Same thing happening now..."
    6
  2609. No one said Ukraine can't attack Russia; they can but they agreed to not use NATO weapons to do it. If this is some home-grown, or improvised-with-Chinese-stuff-they-bought-on-eBay type drone fine. If one of them says "MADE IN USA" or "MADE IN UNITED KINGDOM" that is a problem. A BIG problem. Once that becomes normalized, there is no reason for Russia not to donate some non-nuclear ballistic missiles to Iran and say "have at it".
    6
  2610. Stoltenberg just said: "Russia cannot be allowed to win under any circumstances..." Sounds pretty unequivocal to me. I have no idea what makes Ukraine so important to NATO they feel it's worth risking a nuclear exchange..."

  2611. Today a Ukrainian MP called the aid package "crumbs from the master's table". Now, that they've seen what's in it, they aren't impressed.

  2614. 280,000 joined up so far this year. 😂

  2619. That little scratch of land AFU has in Kursk region is their only bargaining chip to prevent total wipeout of their energy sector this winter. That is what this is about....
    6
  2620.  @masterlightjames950  yeah for FABs, but once they are about 25 km away its all cheap artillery and rockets, no need for a FAB.
    6
  2621. What's this the 5th or 6th time in the past two weeks they've tried? All repulsed. As a longtime military historian, one of the things I most respect about RU is how they keep so many old weapons, for decades even, long beyond when you'd think they would be useful, and here they are in 2024 still punishing their opponents. NATO by contrast, so vastly wealthy for so long, throws away virtually anything over 30 years old. Earlier this year at Avdiivka, RU took anti-submarine rocket launchers from the 1960s off old warships, welded them to a T-55 chassis, and instant mobile artillery. Designed to sink subs, the rockets were huge but inaccurate since they were meant to be fired in a pattern in the open ocean. Didn't matter since area effect what exactly what was needed at Avdiivka. Now, at Kursk, since AFU is using mostly speed/mobility tactics with wheeled armored vehicles, RU has used the MT-12 Rapira 100mm gun from the late 1960s; originally an anti-tank weapon, it is no threat to Abrams/Leopard2 , but against these Strykers and Senators, it is a crushing smoothbore sniper. At crossroads or just outside town in a low ditch with trees all around and covered in leaves, it is invisible until it fires, and 100mm is way enough to one-shot any APC or armored car. Just makes an old history nerd proud....."

  2622. My God. You get up go to work, and its your last day on Earth. You are sitting in your apartment having a sandwich, and its your last day on Earth. Sad for this tragic loss of lives.
    6
  2623. LOL. Remember two years ago when he (and Milley) would shout: "Russia is losing , militarily and operationally!" every other week?? Now, its "Russia hasn't achieved a single strategic objective" True, but they are closer to it than they have ever been before....
    6
  2624. RU took and held the territory; losing 12 tanks is just the price of victory
    6
  2625. Oh HELL NAW!! Not me! Not my children to die for Zelensky!!
    6
  2626. Wow. Glad I went there in 2013. I had a fantastic time; at one bar near the beach by time my buddy and were done making friends with everyone at least five different nationalities were singing. Beer can do that. Oh well the party is over I guess. I hear Seville is awesome
    6
  2627. Kursk is becoming a NATO equipment horror show. It appears the NATO army of 2024 has far more IFVs/APCs than their 2023 army. My guess is this reflects the infantry heavy tactics both sides went to in 2023 once the FPV drone became so numerous. RU seems to still prefer tank led assault by using Tsars Grill to diminish the drone threat. If my guess is right, I can see why Syrsky did not send this new army to the Donbass to try to check RU advance because such a mobility heavy force would be ineffective as a defensive force there.
    6
  2628. I know most CNN thralls are not actually stupid, they just like to hear only things they agree with. However, this propaganda requires complete and utter ignorance on the part of the watcher. Patriot moves at Mach 4...around 2900 mph; Kinzhal moves at up to Mach 10 (nobody really knows). However for sake of argument lets just say Mach 5 for the Kinzhal...around 3500 mph. Two pieces of metal coming together at a combined velocity of 6000 mph means the point of impact undergoes instantaneous conversion to slag. Look at that damage and use your brain. Jesus Christ....even if they both were only going Mach 2 that is still coming together at 3000 mph...a nice relatively clean hole with the nose not even deformed in shape?? My God, CNN.

  2629. Nope. The Russian Steamroller cannot be stopped.

  2630. Mazda all day long. 2020 Palisades and Tellurides now showing up in the used off-lease market and they are exactly what you'd expect to see in a three year old Hyundai or Kia. Rattling parts, worn trim; headed straight for the "Buy Here Pay Here" lot by 2025 just the same as any other Hyundai, Kia or Genesis. Japan has already forgotten more about building cars than Korea will ever know.
    6
  2631. Ukraine is about to get absolutely slaughtered; and the Biden Admin with its enablers is going to be exposed for the liars they are.
    6
  2632. Ukraine Pravda reported that when Lloyd Austin visited Kyiv on Nov. 20th , one of the things they asked him for was "...17 million (that's right--MILLION) 155mm artillery shells" to be able to reach the Sea of Azov. They said he was very surprised as there are not that many shells on the earth to collect and he told them it is "impossible". AFU estimates they will need $350-400 BILLION to "restore borders to 1991 level".
    6
  2633.  @DeeWeber  HOW TF can a bill with NO provisions for mass deportation be considered "comprehensive"??? You liberals just don't get it; I don't think you ever will.

  2634. Germany already tapped out; you can forget them "supporting" this. Scholz just two days ago said "its time to negotiate" and of course Zelensky whined and cried like the baby he is.
    6
  2635. Funny you said that. I was just thinking yesterday, that if Ukraine's people were smart, they wouldn't allow him to come back...

  2639. Biden is like the Emperor in Star Wars. All the wars all over the Galaxy have his hand in them....
    6
  2640. Two thoughts: One, I now understand the reports last week of foreign fighters leaving Ukraine. They knew this was coming and they knew they would be very, very unlikely to survive it if they'd stayed. Two, the fact Shoigu is in NK at this moment is not a coincidence.
    6
  2641. Anyone seen the Challengers yet?? I see the Russians have captured an almost intact AMX10 (including the instruction manual!), but so far the Challengers are being hoarded for some "breakthru" attack that will never come.
    6
  2642. 30 years ago a Nissan was just as desirable as a Honda or Toyota. The past 15 years beat up their reputation (some deserved, some not), but for long term reliability I'd put only Honda or Toyota ahead of them; a (non-CVT) Nissan will outlast everything else on the road no matter where it comes from.

  2643. How many French mercs they get this time?

  2644. Vuhledar has just fallen; here the Beggar is and RU liberating what's left of our protectorate by the hour....

  2645. This was announced on SKY this morning, so it appears RU aren't even trying to hide the fact these super soldiers are there now.

  2646. Why even show it? YT will delete any comment we make other than "whoa, that was nice"

  2647. That's embarrassing. First Canada, now UK....it has not been a good week for the British Empire. A lot of cases of "open mouth, insert foot" going around among them...
    6
  2648. 1/3 rd goes to Lockheed Martin right off the top to replace stuff sent to Ukraine long ago. $8B goes direct to Zelensky to pay the salaries of his government, but Ukraine as a whole has a $200B budget deficit 😂. $12B is weapons and ammo but some of that isn't even produced yet. Russian Army Group North won't even notice any difference this summer when they blitz through there 😂
    6
  2649. Right. Just like "no our POWs weren't on the plane it was S300 missile parts!"😂
    6
  2650. If it's really true NATO has told them they have until the summit to show significant gains, then that both explains the massive casualties AFU is taking, and the Russian willingness to just sit tight in defense posture and let them come.
    6
  2651. Like they had a time machine 9 months ago..... LOL
    6
  2652. When you make a person pay their OWN HARD-EARNED money for something, it naturally forces a deep level of evaluation of its value to them. If you just give them money; they have little respect for the sacrifice it took to earn that money. The US paying everyone's bills for 80 years has made an EU that has no respect for the value of a euro spent for defense. That ends now.
    6
  2653. "....more or less petered out...." stopped there. If you can't admit you lost a battle there is no point listening futher as whatever you have to say won't be objective. Bye.
    6
  2654.  @commentsonthetube14  So brand new HIMARS, Patriot missiles, 155mm shells , FPV drones , etc. all that is "old shit"?? You realize we don't have "stockpiles" on any of that "old shit", right?
    6
  2655. Yesterday Russia attacked in 110 different regions of Ukraine. If that isn't the definition of "steamroller", I don't know what would be. Its exactly like 1944; even the direction the Russians are moving is the same.... West
    6
  2656. While Russia's influence over the BRICS and the African continent grows... Massive upgrade.
    6
  2657. We simply didn't have so many of these types of horrors when people got married BEFORE having children. In 1987, I was 15 and a girl in my algebra class got pregnant at age 14, I never saw her at that school again....THAT is how much SHAME being pregnant without having a husband used to bring. We need that back....
    6
  2658. US Navy and BAE have such a weapon essentially designed and working. Problem is #1 Power. Only a nuclear powered warship can generate the energy reserve to power the weapon frequently and fast enough to make it tactically viable. #2. Material science. The speed of the projectile, no matter what it is made of, is so great that the plasma generated by it degrades the barrel lining to a degree it needs to be replaced after just 10 or 20 shots. On a ship at sea, this is simply unacceptable. I'm sure these problems will be overcome eventually and before long we'll have 10,000 ton warships sliced in half by a projectile that weighs only 50 kg.
    6
  2659. What a disaster.... How Ukraine military leadership even have any credibility left I'll never know. Even after the "pincers" reached 75% encircled in December, I would have called it quits and saved my army, but OK its "symbolic" so they stay. After the "pipe army" breach two weeks ago, not even symbolism could justify staying in place to be destroyed. AFU HQ sucks. Period.

  2660. $380B can enable Haiti to mount a successful invasion of Florida..."

  2661. Better or Worse? 1. Illegal immigration swamping the country or controlled immigration where we decide who enters? 2. War with Russia or no war with Russia? 3. Socialist policy like forgiving student loans for people who dropped out or got useless degrees, or allowing people to learn from their mistakes so they make better choices next time? Up to us now...
    6
  2662. been that way for a year.

  2663. Here in the States I bought a 2013 XKR with 35K miles in 2018. I drove it daily to work about 90 miles a day for a couple years; averaged about 19 mpg so not great on gas. However other than that didn't cost me a thing. Sold it last summer at the peak of the used car market, as I barely drove it anymore in the wake of COVID. Absolutely stunning and smooth, with impeccable interior luxury quality. I considered it a Corvette in a tuxedo. They don't depreciate much anymore and imho are quite reliable with the 5.0 V8 and ZF trans.
    6
  2664. Like the young guy shopping at the LA mall a few days ago who had his presents stolen by some thugs who got out of their car to brawl with him, but as they ran off, they left their female companion in the car alone, and the victim jumped in there and overpowered her to get his stuff back. You have to possess the street smarts and skills of the "Chicago Way" to live in LA.
    6
  2665. We are watching the collapse. Russia has gained more territory in the past two weeks than in the past two months. Zelensky can't even go home as the Iskanders and Kinzhals are flying so heavily over Kyiv this week. Russia is on a rampage
    6
  2666. Kind of fitting in a way. This man, a man who pulled the levers of power for American foreign policy during its peak, passes away the same year America's foreign policy power reached its nadir. As his corporeal form exhausted its life force, so too has America's promise, influence, and credibility been exhausted.
    6
  2667. Yes, it looks very bad for RU now , but remember Hitler sent THREE MILLION in this direction 80 years ago and lost. NATO has only sent about 25K...."
    6
  2668. Now THAT is hilarious. Can you imagine an American supercarrier hit or sunk a month before the election??
    6
  2669. Two more Ukrainian brigades refused to deploy to Ocheretnye today and the town fell to Russia. That is three AFU brigades that have surrendered or left their positions or refused to deploy in the past two weeks. US better make sure that once all this stuff crosses the border they make sure just who the hell they are handing this stuff over to!!'
    6
  2670. You live in such a country. Just try to express "marriage is between a man and a woman" and you'll see just how "free" you really are...
    6
  2671. Not just "Western nations" bracing for wider war. RU very publicy demonstrated the Sarmat-class heavy ICBM over the weekend. You know, the ones with the Avangard hypersonic warhead that hits at Mach 27 and can turn a 1km circle into lava without a single atom of chemical or nuclear material? Who here thinks this is for Ukraine??
    6
  2672. The disassembled F-16s Ukraine got a few weeks ago were destroyed the same night the Patriot battery at Zhytomyr was destroyed; courtesy of the Kinzhal hypersonic missiles. Shoigu was right.
    6
  2673. LOL. I have a 2006 Lexus ES330; butter soft leather, magnificent sound system, V6 idles so smooth you can't even tell its running, heated seats and wheel, started right up. I sit in a $60K EV at the dealer and its like I'm in a penalty box compared to my Lexus----you can't even get real leather in 90% of EVs, only cheap vinyl.
    6
  2674. Video from the front today just like every day the past two months. Russian Orlan drone sits unbothered watching the front for 2 miles in every direction. Ukraine infantry or armor is detected in the treeline, artillery falls like rain and Lancet drones descend like angry bees. Same result. Blasted, burning and shattered Ukrainian men and equipment. Lather rinse repeat.
    6
  2675. So either Zelensky blew it up on purpose, or blew it up out of ignorance.
    6
  2676. They asked the UN for help too (why did DW leave that out). If UN helps them, what is your problem?
    6
  2677. Anyone who buys an EV is insane. Better to light your BBQ grill with $100 bills. Lucid is giving theirs away with $650 a month leases on $95K cars; same with Mercedes----can walk out with an EQE that cost double what an TLX costs for the same exact lease payment. Or try a Toyota BZ4X; that is so unpopular you can lease one for $169 a month!
    6
  2678. Are there still any Stupids that want to go to prison for this clown?
    6
  2679. Simple, TCO - Total Cost of Ownership. Though the upfront cost is much less than an American/European aircraft, over a 20 to 30 year timeframe the Chinese option will cost a country far more in downtime, headaches with spares, interoperability with allies, etc. than the lifetime cost of the American/European one. if a country can buy American/European, they would be foolish not to. For countries that cannot buy from America/Europe, Russia is a better option than China as well. Russian aircraft are far better built than Chinese equivalent, with better engines and overall durability and toughness. When Japan starts building fighters again, if they are willing to sell them to other countries, they will jump right up there with the American/European ones in terms of quality.
    6
  2680. LOL. US/UK help Zelensky invade Kursk, but then a month later when RU starts kicking AFU out of Kursk, Zelensky says "see? I need long range weapons or we will be booted out of Kursk!!!" You cannot make this stuff up."
    6
  2681. US: "Ukraine was not responsible!!" LOL
    6
  2682. BBC, March 2022: “Russian reservists could be using "shovels" for "hand-to-hand" combat in Ukraine due to a shortage of ammunition, the UK's Ministry of Defence says.”
    6
  2683. These are just longer range HIMARS and where Russia has Pantsir, very few HIMARS get past. Pantsir-S1 is quite effective at shooting down HIMARS. Since ATACMS will be flying longer range, and deeper into Russian territory where the Pantsir-S1 has no risk of counter battery fire. I expect most of these ATACMS around critical areas will be shot down. If Ukraine shoots them at bank offices in downtown Moscow they will probably get through.
    6
  2684. Whenever any side denies , that means it’s true
    6
  2685. Are they including Novorossiya in "Ukraine". No landmines in Mariupol; just new construction everywhere...
    6
  2686. Road rage shooting, whether they hit someone or not, whether just injury, should have 20 year mandatory minimum sentence.

  2687. Doesn't every man have "legal problems with their ex" these days?
    6
  2688. 18. How does a child get raised so wrong in such a short period of time??
    6
  2689. Russia sent all its T-14 Armata super tanks home a month ago. After the Leopard 2s proved easy to kill by Lancet drone or attack helicopter, there was no need to use a auper tank.
    6
  2690. Strange times. A Kia EV is $70K. RRs are a "good buy" these days.
    6
  2691. So the old cluster bomb shells we had laying around that we gave Ukraine aren't the "game changer" that wins the war in a week?
    6
  2692. Weeb I must give you credit. About three weeks ago you spoke of the possibility of a three-pronged Russian offensive sometime very soon. To your credit, you did not guarantee it; you clearly said it was speculative and just rumor you could not substantiate. I never heard any other mil blogger channel with similar information, until TODAY. I only watch three channels other than this one, and when all four say the same thing, 99% of the time it is gospel. Even the errant Ukrainian missile strike on the market blamed on Russia you were one of the few quickly poking holes in that story and now you are vindicated. Keep it up. Don't let the complaints of those invested in a certain outcome stop you in any way; the Hard Truth always cuts both ways.
    6
  2693. Zelensky admits Ukraine can't take any territory back without US missiles landing on Russia (and all experts including Austin say that won't change anything). SO. Ukraine must surrender. Period. Which EU army going to fight Russia for Zelensky? None. So surrender is the only option.
    6
  2694. Ukraine has taught the world there is no such distinction as a "military target" when you are fighting to win. Nations tried to make such distinctions in the early months of WW2 as well, but it didn't last for the same reasons it didn't last now. By 2025 no one will bother try to make such distinctions
    6
  2695. A Nosferatu calling out another Nosferatu? That is something you don't see every day....

  2696. I read the US is offering to remove ALL sanctions from Iran if they don't respond.... Honestly if that is true, I"d have to give that some serious consideration if I were Iran..."
    6
  2697. AFU officers are stupid; or they are not stupid and Zelensky is overruling them meaning Zelensky is stupid. TIME magazine made him "Person of The Year" two years ago, pumping him as the next Abraham Lincoln, and now he reminds me more of Hideki Tojo than anyone else.
    6
  2698. Isnt "fleeing war, persecution..." the very literal definition of a valid reason for asylum in the E.U.???
    6
  2699. Bakhmut is lost (was lost weeks ago). All Ukraine can do is hurl itself against a superior force, kill many Russians while they themselves are killed, and when the smoke clears, nothing will have changed. The war is lost.
    6
  2700. 1941??? How does RU keep old weapons in good shape for so long?? Do they store them in some kind of naturally low humidity environment? Amazing that they have so many 60, 70, even 80 year old weapons that can literally be taken out, cleaned and used within days...."
    6
  2701. South Africa mainly just played Israel's own words back in Court to prove their case. It really didn't take much more than that...
    6
  2702. I told y'all a year ago Anthony Blinken was a Nosferatu; his comfort at the deaths of others is downright eerie
    6
  2703. Oh yeah, this is an objective, unbiased opinion based on facts. 🙂
    6
  2704. The terror attack failed for Ukraine. In the wake of the Moscow terrorist attack, Russian MoD reporting they are now getting 16,000 new volunteers a week , (up from about 7,500 a week the past year).
    6
  2705. I said something about these AFU being old men and the DPR troops being 25 and YT deleted it. "Hate speech" against old people I guess... 😂
    6
  2706. YOU stand with Ukraine; THIS American does not.
    6
  2707.  @billm8633  I elaborated on why I agree with her; YouTube didn't like that. You know crazy things like "Ukraine had a chance for peace in Istanbul, 2022"....
    6
  2708. I'd be embarrassed to raise a flag on an abandoned town of 700 people at most. When Wagner raises a flag, it means something.
    6
  2709. The "defensive only Alliance" just "defended" itself...
    6
  2710. LOL. The post-Ukraine world already beginning to take shape...
    6
  2711. What were his words that were censored at 0:14 ??
    6
  2712. It seems like the past few years men have just come off the rails when it comes to women. No more slapping her around, no more "wife beater" shirts.....they just fill her with lead and keep on moving. There have been so many women gunned down by intimate partners, not even husbands; just a guy they were with a few times. In decades past, only men about to lose half of everything in a divorce were the highest risk for killing their wives (or the girlfriend who threatened to out them). Today, even a casual fling is enough to enrage a man to the point of murder.
    6
  2713. I don't see how when RU has five times as many....and the artillery to go along with it.
    6
  2714. Today is a decisive day. Ukraine has reached the first "observation line"; about 5km from the first actual defense line; the area made famous as "Bradley Square". This is in Zaporizhzhia near Robotyne, which is in the Tokmak defense sector. This is probably the most heavily fortified area in all of the annexed areas, and one of the four most likely attack routes everyone estimated a year ago. There are five defense lines in front of Ukraine; they have not yet reached the first (5km from it). The Lancet drones here are so numerous they fill the sky like flies. The mines are so thick, you could walk from Orekhov to Tokmak without getting any dirt on your boot. Artillery here falls like rain; and the Krasnopol laser-guided shells can hit a single vehicle from 25 miles away. The Ka-52s and Mi-28s, unbothered since Ukraine has no air force, now have new LMUR missiles with 15km range, even better than the 8km range of the Vikhr missiles that murdered the Ukrainians back in June. Behind all this, sit hundreds of T-80BV3 and T-90M tanks; ready to pounce upon whatever survives the Dantes Inferno described before. Not with 500,000 men could Ukraine do this; it is folly.
    6
  2715. Probably already on the way...
    6
  2716. Using "3" and "S" was just Musk trying to equate his cars with the best in their segments in his customers' minds. Most fell for it initially, but over the years people realize Tesla is not a luxury automaker; they are EV "Chevrolet". The cost of EVs made the price of the Model S and 3 close to the S-Class / 3-Series, but the quality of the cars themselves were worse even than a Chevy Malibu or Cruze. Everyone knows this BMW quality is two planets apart from any Tesla (even a Civic destroys any Tesla quality wise).
    6
  2717. Russia produces 12% of oil output and that is far from their max; in the Arctic alone they have enough reserves to power humanity for 500 years: "The Russian Arctic alone comprises over 35,700 billion cubic meters of natural gas (Figures 3 & 4) and over 2,300 million metric tons of oil and condensate (Figures 1 & 2) with the majority concentrated in the Yamal and Gydan peninsulas." If Ukraine somehow halts Russian oil output by 2259, they'll just switch to using the T-80 tank which uses a turbine engine and runs on LNG. I mean, I really don't mean to insult anyone's intelligence, but the entire line of Western reasoning that Ukraine can stop Russia from winning by hitting energy production is absolutely stupid ......"

  2718. Thermo baric.😂😂😂😂

  2719. We Americans can't get rid of Biden until 2024 so Ukraine gonna have to suffer two more years.

  2720. When he stepped back and said "God Save the King!" I felt something stir....maybe some vestigial shreds of my colonial ancestors awakened at his call? 🙂
    6
  2721. So your point is that we shouldn't be concerned how our money is spent because we have so much of it?? You don't need to tell me you aren't rich; I already know...
    6
  2722. Does Ukraine even have an air force? Last i heard was about 80 planes but that was in January
    6
  2723. How can a man of his stature not realize the "cracks" as he calls it were there all along the past 15 months for anyone to see??? Either he's lying or incompetent.

  2724.  @ericp1139  I spewed my Coke!!!

  2725. Ukraine considers 9 killed "hellish" ; the Palestinians would consider that a "quiet night"...
    6
  2726. Iran not stupid. If they hit Israel too hard, US will give Israel the means to take out Iran's nuke program. The problem is Iran cannot look too weak; if their response is too measured they avoid the US response (via Israel), but now they lose face among their proxies. The Houthis are a perfect example of how powerful someone with nothing to lose can be...

  2727. Shoigu gonna run out of stars to hand out by Christmas. "We ordered 10,000 more from China, should be here next month. Sorry guys."

  2729. None left

  2730. LOL. Then Hungary and Slovakia cut off Ukraine's electricity....."
    6
  2731. The reason the war is a struggle for NATO and Ukraine is because they are not on the side of right in this. The arc of history bends towards justice, and there is nothing "just" about US involvement in this war. NATO is a military alliance and like any such organization it exists to destroy its enemies; everything it does is in furtherance of this goal. Convincing Zelensky to accept weapons and do the fighting on NATO's behalf was in the interest of providing a future willing partner in moving US Aegis Ashore missiles, currently in Poland and Romania, closer to Moscow, as well as allowing the US Navy to create a "Black Sea Fleet" based in Crimea. Go look it all up; as late as 2019 US Navy was publicly issuing contracts to expand and refurbish old Soviet-era naval bases in Crimea. With land based missiles and a fleet of warships, both using the Aegis Combat System, and all mere kilometers from Russia's border, Russia would be the United States' slave in all but name. That is why she fights as if her life depends upon it because it DOES. In Zelensky, the US found a willing partner in a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to put a noose around Russia's neck and loosen or tighten the knot whenever it pleased.
    6
  2732. Where are the North Koreans??? Military Summary can't confirm these guys are in combat or not??
    6
  2733. "Best way to stop hostilities is to strengthen Kyiv..." That's some Blinken logic right there for sure; straight out of the Neo-Con playbook.
    6
  2734. Swedish CV-90 now getting the Leopard treatment at the front. All it took was a soldier with an RPG to bring it to a smoking halt. 🙂 Still haven't seen a Challenger come out to play; probably waiting for Abrams because it is too afraid now that Leopards have all been destroyed.
    6
  2735.  @wmf1595  lol. you wouldn't check the sources if he gave them. All over the non-NATO news yesterday...."
    6
  2736. Instead of sending old Bradleys to Ukraine, Biden needs to give them to law abiding citizens right here.
    6
  2737. Now that Russia knows Zaporizhzhia is the goal, they will add far more defensive infrastructure to the already bristling Tokmak area. By next Spring the whole area around that city will look like the surface of the Second Death Star.
    6
  2738. Probably the clear crushing of the US aid bill (and the imminent fall of Avdiivka) made Zelensky have to act today. The 50B euro aid is spread over four years, half is just for salaries and pensions----the few arms in it can do nothing to halt the steamroller. The US $60B would have stiffened AFU capability through the summer, but like pumps on the Titanic, only time would it have gotten them. With that now out of the picture, even time they no longer have. The only resource Ukraine has now is men----old men----and they are going to expend them to whatever end.
    6
  2739. Why is NATO so silent???
    6
  2740. LOL. While RU took out all the rail junctions, bridges, and any building larger than a barn weeks ago.
    6
  2741. A love triangle. Jesus H. Christ I thought for sure an ex-husband or boyfriend; however I assumed HE was the killer, not the side-chick. As crazy as it sounds, this is actually comforting in a strange way. Humans have been killing each other over love and jealousy for longer than recorded history. Unlike many murders in our sick America today, this one is "normal".
    6
  2742. So the United States, who just one month ago had American Abrams, Bradleys, Strykers, Humvees, etc. enter Russian territory , blasting anything that moved resulting in destruction and casualties of Russian citizens, considers Iran selling rockets to Russia to be a "dangerous escalation"?? What does the US consider what they did in Kursk?? A love letter to Russia???
    6
  2743. Wow. This was reported in non-Western military blogger media yesterday and (as is usually the case 90% of the time), the military bloggers were correct. That means the other things they reported about the F-16s are probably correct too....."
    6
  2744. If the rules can be broken anytime, then they are meaningless in the first place. EU may "win" this little tug-of-war, but plant the seed of its own future destruction. Years from now, another difficult issue with no consensus and some simply say "look at 2023, we are going to do it anyway".
    6
  2745. I personally think the new C-Class sedan is gorgeous. However, the boosted-four formula is done far better in the A/CLA class----I could forgive the C43 if the C53 had an I6, but until it does, CLA 35 for me.
    6
  2746. Remember before the Great Recession and before Hurricane Katrina Frisco was a nice place to live?? Growth has consequences...
    6
  2747. They remind me of the Imperial Japanese Army holed up on Saipan, Iwo, and Okinawa. Defiant to the end. At least the Japanese had the dignity of going down with their OWN weapons and super battleships...
    6
  2748. ? Poland been in the war almost since first day. Wagner was finding headless and handless bodies in captured towns back in January. They found cell phones and other personal items that indicated they were Polish.
    6
  2749. That territory is Russia. It will take 10 years, a three-million man army, and $4T to alter that destiny.
    6
  2750. They probably thought Zelensky was going to be history today, and just wanted to get a head start on demobilizing
    6
  2751. Storm-Z going into the history books along with Hoplites, Immortals, Centurions, Saxons, Mamluks, US Marines, etc.
    6
  2752. The US was using laser-guided bombs in Vietnam 50 years ago. For the very same reason: hit the target accurately with one bomb while the plane doesn't have to fly directly over where the AAA guns or the SA-2 "Guideline" missiles can knock it out of the sky. Why Ukraine acting like the guided bomb is something new?"
    6
  2753. Ukraine better store it at their buddies house. If it spends even one night in Ukraine it will be Kinzhal'ed where it sits
    6
  2754. One of the main reasons I decided a few years back to NEVER retire in Florida even though most of my extended family has been there for decades. Nope!
    6
  2755. What a heckuva life this guy had. Imagine being a music executive at age 28, you are Black and the year is 1961....three years before the Civil Rights Act made it illegal to race discriminate in hiring. Imagine how alone he must have felt at client meetings, trade shows and corporate parties . He also was clearly an accomplished ladies man; his exes are like a who's who of top models from the 1960s to the 1990s. Obviously his greatest public legacy is his music and impact upon music. However, for me, I'm most impressed by the fact that all seven of his children, by various mothers---some wives, others from affairs---spoke highly of him about their love for him and his for them To me that speaks more about him as a man than anything else.
    6
  2756. The tipping point has been reached; I've said all year when the final stage comes the pace will quicken. We will see some "collapse" in some places very soon
    6
  2757. Saw the full vid. It was an FPV drone (or several). Wow. The pride of the United States Army in the 1980s and 90s. As as child, I thought it was almost invincible. Taken out by a few $500 drones....
    6
  2758. Reminds me of the old films from NYC in the 60s and 70s when hubcaps were stolen every night and if you had mag wheels, your car was up on blocks the next morning. I don't even know how normal people can live in places where stuff like this happens. People who can least afford to replace things like this are the ones they target. I'd move way up into the mountains away from others; humans suck sometimes.
    6
  2759. These are very nice, but when I called my local dealer to inquire about the reservation I was considering they told me they were putting $5K markup on them. Which means over $70K out the door. Then I look online and a '22 Type S with less than 4K miles is $52K. HELL no is the PMC edition worth $20K more.
    6
  2760. ...and when Iran destroys the launcher?? I must have missed when Congress authorized or declared war on Iran.... Is there no one brave enough in the US to uphold the law??
    6
  2761. "...target civilian infrastructure..." Stopped after that; can't take what this administration has become anymore
    6
  2762. If it is true NATO has given Ukraine until the summit to "prove to us you can make significant gains vs. Russia with the weapons you have", then it both explains the massive casualties of the AFU and the Russian willingness to sit on the defensive.
    6
  2763. Belarus becoming TikTok warriors like Ukraine. Slick vids and FPV view like they are playing Call of Duty. Young men love that stuff for some reason. I think thats to make Ukraine keep forces in the north as they are infantry only and no combat experience. Now, if we see vehicles and artillery in those Belarus vids then that means they are coming
    6
  2764. To see a supercarrier in the deep blue ocean, its deck covered in sleek , twin-tailed jets, and warships all around it has been an inspiring sight all my 48 years. Today I saw it and it isn't American......its Chinese When I was a teen, such a thing was science fiction....
    6
  2765. Because they PAID for them? Or built them themselves.
    6
  2766. They were manufactured in Hungary. Hungary = NATO
    6
  2767. I feel sad for all these young guys, but the reality is BBC would he happily showing you hundreds of Russian academy students strewn about the rubble if Zelensky had sent a Storm Shadow that hit a Russian military school; they'd be reveling in it. Always remember that when you feel sorry for these people; if the shoe were on the other foot NATO would be proud...."
    6
  2768. The Turks???? The ones the Royal Navy laughed at for 200 years?
    6
  2769. He is the key instigator of the war
    6
  2770. CNN and the word "gains"; most popular word of the past month. One military analysis done this week said Ukraine has actually "gained" 150 meters in one month.
    6
  2771. Amazing footage. Where is the footage from "Bradley Square" with the shattered Leopard 2, Bradleys, and dozens of dead Ukrainian soldiers laying all about?
    6
  2772. Its been an hour; has the US State Dept announced that Ukraine was not involved?
    6
  2773. "Winter wheat accounts for about 97 percent of Ukraine’s total wheat production. It is planted from early September to mid-November and harvested between July and September. Production is concentrated in the southeastern region ..." In other words, Russia has Ukraine by her big, sweaty, balls...
    6
  2774. Congress says "no"
    6
  2775. Avdiivka is to fall within hours so if he was going to sack him it had to be now.
    6
  2776. None of this would ever have happened if NATO had just left Russia alone. Just leave them be to do as they wish in their neighborhood as you have the past 30 years, and all the Nestle, Starbucks, and McDonald's would still be open in Moscow, and Ukraine's people going about their lives as in 2008 when no one outside of the country had ever heard of Kherson.
    6
  2777. If you want "I have the latest iPhone" flashiness, go GV70. If you want substance, there is only one choice. Stelvio does not have the biggest or the most up-to-date video game screen for sure. It has what matters; an all aluminum and magnesium suspension allowing it to run rings around even a Porsche Macan. Telepathic steering feel. Italian leather that won't be cracked and peeling 6 years from now. Actual aluminum paddle shifters mounted to the column. A carbon fiber driveshaft (yes even on the base model) which costs way more than steel because it is straight out of the racing world. The GV70 is skin deep; the Stelvio has "it" in its very DNA. That's all you need to know to make your choice.
    6
  2778. YT will probably delete this, but I'm an old history nerd and I've always found the Russian Army resourcefulness to be a key part of why it is so hard to beat them on their turf. At Avdiivka, they used 60-year old RBK anti-submarine launchers taken off warships (where they were hardly needed) and welded to T-72 or MT-LB hulls. Instant mobile rocket launcher that could devastate an area. Then a few months ago, the 70-year old M-46 130mm howitzer (with fresh shells from NK). Now, near Kupiansk I saw an old MT-LB with an MT-12 Rapira anti-tank gun welded to it; instant tank destroyer/SPG. It just makes me smile the crazy mash-ups they come up with that are old and ugly but absolutely devastating to AFU..."
    6
  2779. Who are the Turks arming up for? They are amassing a significant military capability and what is it for? They are a NATO member so like all members they can just sit back and let the US protect them; but they have not been going that route the past decade or so. They planning on rebuilding the Ottoman Empire???
    6
  2780. NATO is afraid. Ukraine not exactly doing well this year, most of their army is conscripts and old men
    6
  2781. CNN getting close to the point we may have to report their articles as misinformation..."
    6
  2782. This because Ukraine wants to try a summer mini-offensive before the NATO Summit in July. They are getting all kinds of NATO help; AA missiles from US, vehicles from Germany, France is sending engineering/training troops, Dutch and Swedes sending EW equipment, Baltic States helping build a 30,000 person hospital in Odessa for casualties. Of course Russia knows all this and is ready for them with FAB-3000"
    6
  2783. We do. We urge them to negotiate
    6
  2784. vs. the average AFU age 67? Should be about even....
    6
  2785. You had to go to an entire alternate continent to find something positive for your side. Mountain-sized COPIUM.
    6
  2786. Come to Chicago, it is safer here...."
    6
  2787. What really makes me laugh is that Nalvany's views on the Ukraine war are well known. He believed Russia and Ukraine are historical brothers and should not fight each other. That is not the same as him agreeing that Russia should be a Western vassal kingdom like Zelensky's Ukraine. NOT AT ALL.
    6
  2788.  @pasdpasse439  US attacked Iraq in 1991, we took about 0.001% of the casualties they took
    6
  2789. JDAM is no joke; there was a vid last week of a T-90M advancing to a treeline and all along that line muzzle flashes as Ukrainians shooting at the tank. The tank was firing only at the larger flashes, and stopping, reversing, starting 'etc. to throw off the enemy aim. I thought "US Army would just call in airstrike and drop 8 JDAMs all across that treeline and there would be nothing left to shoot at the tank". That is true if Ukraine gets them, but the problem is planes to carry and drop them. S-300, Buk, and Pantsir-S1 all over the place on the Russian side, plus Su-35s top cover means it will be very difficult for a plane to get close enough to use them. Also, S-300 can probably shoot down a JDAM just like it does HIMARS.
    6
  2790. If you look at the "bulge" AFU created it hasn't changed much in size in three days; those "fingers" of advance they've made all eventually run into a wall of steel. The easy time for Napolensky is over..."
    6
  2791. They'll become casualties too, then what? You bring in assets to protect them and those get hit. That is called "Vietnam War" and that's why US said no to trainers in Ukraine. Go ahead France, try again like you did in Vietnam
    6
  2792. Right, in an age of $50K Camrys this thing will only cost half that and give you 250K bulletproof miles while being screwed together 10x better than anything you can buy other than a Toyota or Honda. Disappointing...
    6
  2793. Because they work? I was just reading in todays Washington Post how US military and Biden Admin. crying in their beer that Russian jamming has turned JDAM, HIMARS, GLSDB, etc. into expensive weapons that only hit their target 10% of the time. Excalibur became so pathetic AFU stopped using it and US don't even supply it anymore. They admit that ATACMS will soon be degraded to the same low level of effectiveness as RU gets used to dealing with it.
    6
  2794. 100 years ago most European nations had huge armies. By not having them for 70 years and letting US do all the dirty work, EU got the fantastic liberal and rich societies they enjoy with "free" everything. While we Americans now have the highest wealth inequality since the 1920s. My daughter got into Baylor University, but she can't go. At $80K a year , even the $40K in scholarships she got isnt enough. Oh and I am in top 10% of US wage earners. Imagine how dim the Sun is for our bottom half....but we gots lots of tanks and warships. It over, it can't have lasted forever
    6
  2795. I'm eyeing every device with any kind of antenna in my house suspiciously now....
    6
  2796. Yes, Ukraine will continue to have momentum until they reach the first actual defense line. Then their momentum will stop.
    6
  2797. Ukraine are like the Rebels at the Battle of Hoth: just being swamped by vastly superior war machines and numbers. Luke Skywalker.....a future Jedi....could only take down one Imperial Walker (and there were dozens more to take its place). Ukraine has no Luke Skywalker...
    6
  2798. 24 planes the Danes were retiring next year anyway, plus 18 more that have been up for sale for years. 42 planes like so many 2012 Kias on a cheap car lot. Against 800 Su-27s, Su-30s, and Su-35s. Ummm, yeah....ok. Another "game changer" burning on the Steppe like all the others before it ..
    6
  2799. Of course they ask for more Western weapons. The word is out on their little Kursk adventure: it is a spectacular military failure. The "bulge" hasn't changed in size in a week, there are riots in west Ukraine over the monstrous losses they are taking in Kursk (most of the recent conscripts have come from western Ukraine), and RU rampage in Donetsk got faster last week, not slower. Even the pro NATO military watchers admit this invasion is a military disaster: it weakened the Donbas, chewed up vast resources of men and machines, and all to gain a bunch of villages the biggest of which is Sudzha (pop. 5000). Now we are hearing they are massing in Zaporizhzhia for another go at Tokmak, and up near the Belarus border (for who knows what purpose). NATOkraine said "F it" to the secret peace negotiations in Qatar, and rolled the dice for all the marbles...."
    6
  2800. The average Ukrainian dood born in 2000 or so must've had a really and truly sad childhood and upbringing. These young guys throw their lives away like Imperial Japanese Army/Navy in 1944
    6
  2801. Italy sent 900,000 men into Russia in 1941 to support their ally, Germany. By 1943 only 100,000 returned to Italy and the disastrous defeat brought down the Mussolini government and took Italy out of the war. No Italian politician will send another army to Russia
    6
  2802. "Existential" for whom? Not the United States. If Ukraine wants to "exist" they can learn how to live in peace with larger and more powerful neighbors. Like humans have had to do for the last 10,000 years...
    6
  2803. The last shipment of ammo from the US was in January, and typically the "pipeline" of ammo is about two months deep. So how they run out of ammo in just a few weeks??
    6
  2804. ID.4 looks vastly better than Model Y, and everyone knows the Tesla has terrible build quality so why pay $10K more for real world range that is only about 10% more than this?? Makes zero sense.
    6
  2805. Yeah may as well tell them not to be human. Have you seen the paintings on the walls in Pompeii?? 2000 years ago and it's sex, sex, and more sex....
    6
  2806. My sense is they are politely listening to him, then when the cameras off making sure he never catches them alone....😂
    6
  2807. Saw a clip on ITV from an interview with some Russian soldiers at the front; the first one was in his 50s, said his wife was Ukrainian and her family no longer speaks to her because of him. Then three Spetznaz walked in and one looked at the Brit like he wanted to eat him alive; the host had to move the interviewer to another room and explain what was going on to the special forces guys. Once they calmed down he asked them a few questions and they answered; their message was clear. "We could have solved this while playing an accordion a balalaika and vodka. But they don't want to....study our history carefully; we don't start wars, we end them."
    6
  2808. CNN doesn't report it, but it's clear Russia has gone ape-shit the past week with bombardment in Ukraines interior. The last four or five days summaries are just constant rain of Iskander, guided bombs, Tornado-S strikes in over 70 towns. The vids are all by Orlan drone and half at night so no idea what is being hit. Some do show rockets popping off after the strike so I'm sure ammo dumps are a large number of targets. The Naval attack was spectacular, and NATO appears to be taking the gloves off, but Russia also seems to have upped its game.
    6
  2809. From what I've read over the years, the early problems were mechanical, but those got solved. The issue with it is that it's very unforgiving to fly. Errors that in planes you have time to recover, in this you don't
    6
  2810. Wow, did not know these could be fired by Smerch and Tornado-S!
    6
  2811. I live 50 miles from Fort Worth so I think I will survive the first strike. Thats enough as there wont be a second...
    6
  2812. Isn't Lviv where Zelensky plans to move the Capital should Kyiv fall to Russia?
    6
  2813. Just like in late 1943...the steamroller has begun
    6
  2814. "Hostages" lol......when Gershkovich was caught within sight of the tank factory he was surveilling to estimate how many trucks were coming/going...."
    6
  2815. That is a disaster..... By relative numbers that would be like the US Army losing 900 (KIA, not wounded) in ONE day. Disaster isn't even a strong enough word for the fallout that would occur.
    6
  2816. This "new" manner of living, where no one gets married, and men have "baby mama's" everywhere and women have "baby daddy's" everywhere is just completely unnatural. Such a situation being so common across the country among ALL demographics the past 20 years, just logically leads to far more emotional stress, which of course often leads to violence. Here is a 29 year old young lady, with FOUR children....this man, apparently the father of her youngest, and he himself now an "Ex" (just two years after the child's birth!), and they get into an argument because she is now "dating someone else". That is an emotional cauldron with a 99% chance of a violent outcome one day. Just STOP living like this. It is so simple; just find ONE person, get married and have your children ONLY with them . Why is that so difficult for so much of the population? Does no one desire normalcy at all?
    6
  2817. Harsh, but 99% correct. Your only mistake is that it won't be a Daquan, it will be a William or Reginald.
    6
  2818. The Russian claim was not based in fact, it was UK "shovel" talk. The AFU claim is based on harsh reality
    6
  2819. All of Israel senior leadership hiding inside a bunker at the moment...."
    6
  2820. The reason the war is a struggle for NATO and Ukraine is because they are not on the side of right in this. The arc of history bends towards justice, and there is nothing "just" about US involvement in this war. NATO is a military alliance and like any such organization it exists to destroy its enemies; everything it does is in furtherance of this goal. Convincing Zelensky to accept weapons and do the fighting on NATO's behalf was in the interest of providing a future willing partner in moving US Aegis Ashore missiles, currently in Poland and Romania, closer to Moscow, as well as allowing the US Navy to create a "Black Sea Fleet" based in Crimea. Go look it all up; as late as 2019 US Navy was publicly issuing contracts to expand and refurbish old Soviet-era naval bases in Crimea. With land based missiles and a fleet of warships, both using the Aegis Combat System, and all mere kilometers from Russia's border, Russia would be the United States' slave in all but name. That is why she fights as if her life depends upon it because it DOES. In Zelensky, the US found a willing partner in a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to put a noose around Russia's neck and loosen or tighten the knot whenever it pleased.
    6
  2821. China and Russia interests do not currently contradict each other much, if at all. China can be seen to "win" today on the diplomatic front, as long as Russia "wins" on the military one.
    6
  2822. VW closing factory for first time in 87 years, just as China dumping impossibly cheap EVs into Europe. The destruction of Nordstream by the US/UK devastated the German economy to $700B economic loss, having to buy LNG from US at 4x what Russia charged is unsustainable. German competitiveness is gone and they simply cannot afford for this war to continue as it is impoverishing them..."
    6
  2823. Actually, as Vicky Nuland said on the CNN interview a few days ago..."we wanted a Westernized Russia that was more like Europe..." That's why she did the regime change in 2014, why she's been front and center orchestrating everything Zelensky does ever since. They want both Ukraine and Russia to be nice , compliant versions of Belgium
    6
  2824. Just say "NO" to NATO and the war ends immediately. The deal in 2022 allowed EU, LGBTQ, all the liberalism you want in Ukraine. The deal even allowed for France and China to guarantee your security; just no US or UK anywhere near Ukraine or the Black Sea. What you really fighting for? "Freedom" or the US/UK?
    6
  2825. losing a war...
    6
  2826. Last night I went to bed one mil blogger said "Ukraine has made three armored thrusts at Robotyne and it appears more vehicles are moving down from Orekhov to support them. Ukraine seems to make a determined attack here." I went to sleep. This morning I opened the news and that same mil blogger said "Complete destruction of Ukrainian Armored Fist near Robotyne". Also it appears Russia fired over 100 cruise missiles yesterday at NATO facilities and Command/Control all over Ukraine---the target map basically covers the entirety of the area near the Polish border. Lastly, the Russian breakout at Lyman has 110,000 soldiers and 900 tanks behind it, while all of Ukraine's best combat power is in Robotyne. Putin is going for the knockout blow.
    6
  2827. The comedian wanted to go to Vovchansk, but a FAB landed too close for comfort and he was rushed back to the safety of Kyiv."
    6
  2828. RU has almost 500 Tu-22 bombers that so far have only been used as cruise missile carriers this entire war. Those things can carry 50,000+ lbs of weapons; I'm sure they can carry FAB-3000, not just Su-34.
    6
  2829. Kansas City sounded like Ukraine last night. By 4am all quiet and no mass murder.
    6
  2830. This is an excellent summary. I like when you go a little more strategic than tactical; the tactical (this shell hit this tank, this drone hit this hole) is kinda repetitive and frankly doesn't tell us much anymore. The vid yesterday of Ukraine building defenses with "dragons teeth" near Kharkiv , plus the info you just gave about Belarus, paints a picture that AFU must believe an attack is likely from Belarus in 2024.
    6
  2831. Zelensky may be deposed within the next 2 to 3 days.
    6
  2832. That like US losing 1000 in a day.
    6
  2833. Can you just imagine what it must be like to be a Director, VP, SVP or C-Level at Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, or Raytheon the past couple years??? The annual bonuses must be so enormous, even the night cleaning crew or cafeteria staff now drive Aston Martin DBX.
    6
  2834. No trip needed; Putin has offered to begin talks at least four times in just the past month
    6
  2835. Probably both. Russians put a few AFU on there to sit on the S-300s to keep them warm. 😂😂😂
    6
  2836. No, Russia isn't going to nuke us (but please approve the $95B in aid to foreign countries just in case they do).
    6
  2837. So, basically that is essentially a "STOP ALL ACTIVITY" order for IDF...
    6
  2838. ...and when this force is destroyed. What then?"
    6
  2839. He had to disable it over Crimea last year because Russia made no secret they were preparing to destroy the satellites. Had he allowed the service network to be used for a military purpose, KNOWINGLY, he could not later object when Russia considered the service and its infrastructure no different from a Leopard 2 tank and wiped them all out.
    6
  2840. Just say no to NATO, war is over
    6
  2841. Tell us what you think a "breakthrough" is? Give us an example of one that meets your expectations
    6
  2842. Zelensky can't order anymore, so he has suggested his staff officers pick up a rifle and head to the front.
    6
  2843. Remember six months ago Ukraine and the West teasing Russia about using "cope cages" against FPV drones? Half the AFU vehicles seen being blown up yesterday in Zaporizhzhia had----you guessed it----cope cage. Doesn't seem to help for side shot by ATGM tho....😂😂
    6
  2844. West needs to say "no". Go to negotiate
    6
  2845. Thirty years ago you could always say "I'm moving to England". Can't say that anymore; England is now just as bad. We can't run from the problem we created...
    6
  2846. Guess they'll just have to take Odessa.....hehehe....
    6
  2847. He said the same thing during the Carlson interview. The miscalculated just how many missiles NATO had given Ukraine between about 2018 and 2021. That is why the SMO began with just 60K troops; far too few for a war with a fully armed enemy. Historically Russians always take it on the chin in the beginning of wars; but they go back arm up and when the steamroller shows up, nothing and no one can stop it.
    6
  2848. As long as they have hypersonic shovels, seems to be pretty difficult.
    6
  2849. They were just going to pick up some takeout----Polish sausage----of course.
    6
  2850. Where are all the strutting Toms from two weeks ago saying "Moscow in three days"?? 🤣🤣🤣
    6
  2851. Only for the 3rd owner who is too poor to fix them.... For the rest of us they are no worse than an Audi to keep running.
    6
  2852. The location of the strike was a message to NATO. "Dont even dream of building weapons factories here. Russia sees everything, knows everything, punishes everything."
    6
  2853. This pilot made a video about a week ago, he had some level of fame in Ukraine. The vid gave away the location where it was filmed and RU sent a "delivery" to that location three nights ago. Go ahead and delete this Alphabet and CNN; we know you can't handle the truth (nor can the minions who believe CNN)...."
    6
  2854. I know they have no choice, but a fighter pilot only becomes "good" after years of training and experience. It simply cannot be rushed; the good ones reach a level where they don't think, they simply react. These guys will probably be competent at getting into the air, firing the missile, then bugging out for home, but that is about it. With Russia now shooting down 9/10 Storm Shadows sent to Crimea, this will not change anything. Not to mention Russia has drones watching most every air base in Ukraine, and nobody can stop Mr. Iskander.
    6
  2855. Did you hear MTG's speech in GA last weekend??? She sleeps sound because THIS IS WHAT THEY WANT.
    6
  2856. Could*??? What is going to stop them once they start? Please don't say "US aid"----even if it passed today, it would be a month before most of it got there. RU is sending *Army Groups in a few weeks...
    6
  2857. Similar analysis on other mil bloggers today. AFU infantry are paying with their lives to give their armor a better chance at some future date; RU artillery will not reveal their position to shoot at five guys, so these squads can advance much farther than a vehicle or larger group. As we just saw, when the make contact they usually die, but in the morning news, CNN can say "Ukraine enters village" and it isn't really a lie. One cannot overstate the importance of BBC or CNN being able to post such an article; Ukraine lives and dies by the belief of her patrons in NATO thinking they are making progress. 99% of NATO citizens do not know or care that the "town" is actually a farm, or has 174 population pre-war, etc.. They see a town name, and AFU has "entered" it, and the money and weapons keep flowing.
    6
  2858. Does US still pay all of Poland's public sector salaries and pensions just like we are doing for Ukraine? Just another welfare state...
    6
  2859. True but they don't want Ukraine to hold land in Kursk when negotiations begin; it's the first thing US will try to "offer" back to them
    6
  2860. ...and losing it , inch by inch.
    6
  2861. so does Russia, correct?
    6
  2862. Yeah, spill 90,000 gallons of oil into the Black Sea. That'll show 'em! Still think Ukraine didn't blow up that dam?? 😂
    6
  2863. Recognize. Fine. Arm , equip, and send CIA "advisers"? Please God, no....."
    6
  2864. NATO tried to expand one time too many; Ukraine itself was the "red line"
    6
  2865. More and more video of Ukraine women soldiers the past month than ever. On armored vehicles, in trenches, bombed and injured. They aren't pretty anymore
    6
  2866. 10 years ago, Ukraine and Russia were the same thing....
    6
  2867. yes, but they are 47 year old men now, all their young guys are in Valhalla or in a wheelchair (or in Poland/Germany/England). When they are all gone, what then?
    6
  2868. Surrender and you'll be warm.
    6
  2869. If you are leasing for 3 years, either will do. However, if you prefer to buy like I do, you know damn well there is only one which will still be running flawlessly in 2033: the Honda.
    6
  2870. Hmmm, one day after Jens Stoltenberg: "I do not expect NATO to offer Ukraine an invitation"
    6
  2871. AFU's new "strategy" of attrition warfare is stupid. Even NYT article gave the plan a side eye; how can your plan be to hold towns you know you can't defend, just to be able to inflict casualties on the Russians, because you believe you are hurting them more than they hurt you? They have five times the men and 20 times the industrial capacity. Same with this "economic attrition" strategy; Russia has almost 50 oil refineries for 13% of world's oil supply. It is practically impossible to damage them enough to affect their ability to wage war as half of them are far out of range of any weapon and those in range can only be lightly damaged by drones. It would take AFU 50 years to "degrade" it enough to matter and in that time Russia will have taken all of Ukraine 10 times over.
    6
  2872. I'm so disgusted I tried to find out how to donate to the Russian Army this weekend but Biden anticipated that move years ago and made it all but impossible for a Westerner to send money to Russia.
    6
  2873. How else could Ukraine get $203 BILLION (more than its entire GDP), and Russia bats its army away like a bear slapping a salmon?? Half of all that isht went somewhere else...
    6
  2874. ​@ospehu1 Yes no one to fly or operate them for Ukraine as they all demilitarized two weeks ago. So Swedes have to operate them meaning no difference
    6
  2875. TOTAL change in tone in West Media today. No more "Moscow in three days!" , now its "how long can AFU last?" LOL....😂
    6
  2876. Russia is fighting 30 to 1, against an alliance that has given its enemy weaponry the value of which exceeds it's entire annual defense budget. Yet a general is upset there are not enough of everything to utterly destroy his foe? Russians do long, slow, grinding victory very well; they take pride in it actually. As a Russian he should know that.
    6
  2877. There is no "defense" to an Iskander and Kinzhal. Even the Oniks and Kh-22 are very difficult to shoot down. Thats why you dont pick a fight with Russia
    6
  2878. Even before the Israel-Gaza war, I felt this guy was a Nosferatu, for the glee with which he expends the lives of friend and foe alike. Now, after the past few months I realize I vastly underestimated him. If these are the End Times, and the Prince of Darkness himself walks the Earth; it is Antony Blinken that is the physical manifestation of that malevolent spirit on the mortal plane.
    6
  2879. Style is all it really needed; and a bit more power. The 2.4l is naturally aspirated; far better than the 1.2/1.3 liter turbos of most of its competition. Nissan, even now in its worst times, has never made crappy engines; their engines are still among the most reliable in the entire market. It has enough torque now to get out of its own way; yes the CVT is a problem----can't argue with that----but most of its competitors use them too so is it really a disadvantage? I think it will sell well for Nissan; if they can survive long enough to move them.
    6
  2880. We are watching the beginning of the End...
    6
  2881. Leaving your Aston Martin DBX right out front overnight is not really a smart move even if you live in Marin County or Coral Gables. You have a five car garage; use it. Unless you enjoy your subdivision looking and sounding like Ukraine....
    6
  2882. Russia has never once seemed very concerned with the Kherson beach landings. Even months ago when it was 30 or 40 AFU under a bridge and RU would just wipe most of them out every other day, they never seemed that concerned. I still don't think they really are; with no vehicles, even 5000 AFU in that area would just be fish in a barrel, surrounded on three sides that could only advance by storming RU-occupied rubble around them.
    6
  2883. Syrsky now admits Kursk was a gamble and it failed. Will SKY and its army of nato-swallowers also admit they were fools? I'll wait...."
    6
  2884. I'm just going to go ahead and say it: The M1 Abrams is going to be massacred long before it ever even sees another tank to shoot at. Russia's Orlan drone loiters in the sky at will 70 km deep into Ukrainian territory and has been doing so all year long. The new Lancet attack drone now has 80 km range (just look up this week's strike on a Mig-29 70 km from the front). The Abrams' turbine engine will glow like a 4th of July sparkler to the thermal sights of the Ka-52, whose new missiles have 14 km range and are "fire-and-forget", not like the 8 km range ones that required the gunner to maintain lock that were used to decimate AFU at Bradley Square in June. The Orlan (Eagle) got a new targeting system a year ago called "EYE" (get it? EAGLE EYE? 🙂) that directly slaves it to the fire control of any TOS-1A or Tornado-S MLRS, or Krasnopol laser guided 152mm shell, meaning as soon as Orlan spots one, DFA is on the way. If, by some Divine Blessing, an Abrams survives all that to reach the combat line, the Kornet missile will rip it open just like it did the Challenger 2 a couple weeks ago. With double the bounty on it now because it is a US tank, any Ukrainian going into battle in that thing is a dead man walking.
    6
  2885. Now Ukraine bombs luxury condos? It always starts like this---small, almost inconsequential. This is just like when Germany began bombing England in preparation for the invasion. At first it was military targets only, but one raid some British bombers got lost and dropped their bombs on civilian areas, enraging Hitler. He then ordered the Luftwaffe to bomb London civilian areas and 5 years later everyone was bombing everyone killing 40,000 in one night without even blinking an eye. If by next year this time Kyiv looks like Bakhmut, we can trace it directly to the past couple of weeks where the path forked to that result...
    6
  2886. What else could they do? Sit there and be destroyed? Surrender? Pull back and live to fight another day (to what logical purpose I cannot begin to imagine).
    6
  2887. Kuwait, Oman and a few other Arab allies of the US have all said "no" to using their territory for striking Iran. When the isht hits the fan, that is when you know who your "friends" are...
    6
  2888. Omg its gonna take me a few years to rewire my brain for Audis new naming convention. Halfway through I realized this was an EV. I live in US, so not interested....
    6
  2889. If its just Ukraine pilots in F-35s, nothing much will change. Russia will Kinzhal them on the ground, those that fly will be met by Su-27s or 35s on a 10 to 1 basis. They'll be reduced by attrition and not much will change. They'll shoot down more Russian planes than F-16s will, but the numerical advantage is so great it won't make any difference. Now, if they are AMERICAN flown F-35s, with ALL of the US Air Force behind them, then yes it will be WW3 and none of us will be left to debate the outcome.
    6
  2890. The Russian Army is bombing them at this very moment. For those who only watch CNN, there has long been tension between Wagner and the Army, not just at the Prigozhin/Shoigu level. Last year, many regular Army hated being associated with Wagner due to the murderers and rapists they recruited. Regular Army there is just like regular army here---very patriotic and Right-leaning; many army units did not like a Wagner unit being near them. That is one of the reasons Wagner stopped using prisoners (and they weren't all that useful as they got mowed down in droves). Also a month ago Prigozhin denounced the "elites" of Russia because only the lower class people (like himself) were fighting; just like here wealthy people don't send their children into the Army. Remember a year ago the poll where 30% of Americans of fighting age said they'd run away if Russia invaded us? They have the same social fissures there.
    6
  2891. Unfortunately, NATO has spent 60+ years doing precisely that; questioning how much cruelty is allowed (for others). Biden just threw all that away.
    6
  2892. The Typhoons in the Black Sea ran away as soon as a Su-27 showed up..... ONE Su-27...."
    6
  2893. ....and look what it has become now. Every time I see a NATO fleet gathered for exercises I hear the "Imperial March" from Star Wars in my head....
    5
  2894. LOL. "Diplomacy is avoiding war, not starting them..."
    5
  2895. Macron really wants to tangle with the Bear. I knew he was really, REALLY angry when those French officers were Iskander'ed back in March, but I had no idea he was willing to go to war over it.
    5
  2896. Probably same people behind it as those that tried to take out Slovakian PM Fico. Four-letter acronym..."
    5
  2897. This is a huge escalation; far greater than any number of tanks. A highly accurate, stealthy cruise missile with 400 mile range puts much of Western Russia under direct threat. UK would never have done this without assurances from America that they will be protected from Russian response.
    5
  2898. Does it change your view on the wisdom of Biden choosing war? If so, it was the best thing that could have happened to you.
    5
  2899. "When everyone around you is "crazy", it is YOU who are the crazy one."
    5
  2900. LOL. Jamaica has made it first contribution to military history...🤣
    5
  2901. Maybe 100 years from now when robots do 95% of the fighting; age won't matter. Today, it still does. I don't blame the young for staying away; death is so final, while life is full of possibilities. If Putin talks in detail tonight about what he was willing to give in that Istanbul deal last year, and it turns out to have been 10x better than what Ukraine has now, that'll be a political atom bomb. I believe that is what the Democrats fear about the Carlson interview with Putin.
    5
  2902. they started it in August, 1914!!
    5
  2903.  @EzioAuditore  Yet, US military has been reporting Russia uses 40K to 60K shells a day at the peak of the Battle of Bakhmut a few months ago.
    5
  2904. Other than Zelensky, who exactly is making these "calls" to widen the war with Russia????
    5
  2905. My first thought when I saw the title was "how the heck can you fight in an army that speaks a different language than you??" Also, the complaint "they send us in first, while their own hang back" is as old as humanity; At least he got his money. About three weeks ago blogger Alexander Mercouris found some estimates on how many US military "advisers" have been lost in Ukraine and it was about 400. That is higher than I guessed (about 200) but of course we won't know until years after the war is over and Biden/Blinken/Nuland are no longer in office.
    5
  2906. I can't imagine the heavy security they must have to actually be in Kyiv right now. Even Zelensky keeps a very low profile in Kyiv...."
    5
  2907. You can tell the End is near. Public spats, infighting, and finger pointing means the wheels are coming off. Last week Germany said Ukraine wasn't using their weapons right, then Ukraine responds with NATO tactics "don't work here", now even some in the US going public with their disagreement on strategy. In Robotyne, where Ukraine made "gains" a few days ago----their spearhead is being absolutely massacred by satellite guided bombs, Ka-52 attack choppers, T-90M tanks, and Lancet drones. While in Kupiansk, Ukraine simply cannot stop their inexorable advances.
    5
  2908. Strange how we never see "satellite images" of Ukraine the morning after a 100-missile strike on SKY news. We have to go to South American, Mid East, Asian news sites to see those pictures...
    5
  2909. Ukraine reminds me a lot of Imperial Japan in 1944. A vastly superior, inexorable opponent that they just cannot physically stop, slowly but surely taking waypoint after waypoint. Each one not a disaster by itself, but as more of them fall, the weight of their collective loss becomes oppressive. Yet, deep resentment and ideology (on both sides) prevents them from trying to end the war. A sense of fatalism on the part of the leadership....."we go to the bitter end"....as they would rather be finished than live in a world where they lost.
    5
  2910. Still no North Koreans?? West Media is so pathetic....
    5
  2911. I have never seen NATO look so pathetic as this past year. All the myths of wunderwaffe smashed. Their 30 years of lack of investment exposed. Their reliance on the US to do 90% of everything exposed. Yesterday, in a desperate attempt to start fear to get the funding passed, US congressman publicly state major security threat from Russian space nukes. 😅 Fear and desperation us everywhere in the West now
    5
  2912. EVs should cost less than gas as they are far simpler. All these $130K EVs the past two years. Who the heck gonna pay $100K for BMW iX?? Magna is a good builder; they don't make poorly assembled junk like Tesla. If Fisker can put these on the road for $38K to start they will sell fleets of them.
    5
  2913. They don't know. He stated it up front they don't know what the target was. I believe they were aimed at the Carrier.
    5
  2914. Putting Budanov in charge of the army would be like putting the CIA director in charge of the army. Like having a case officer in every tank
    5
  2915. That is it? A "tactical village" with a population smaller than any random American apartment complex? That's what the West has gotten after almost FOUR months of the "Grand Spring Offensive" that was to break through to the Sea of Azov just in time for the NATO summit in Lithuania on JULY 12th. NATO really believed they would have shattered Russia so completely in just SIX WEEKS that Putin would have been a broken man by the middle of July. The gap between that and reality is the measure of just how massive a failure this offensive was. Past tense on purpose because this thing is over----rain is coming in a few weeks and no one is moving anywhere. NATO openly admits Russia is outproducing it in ammunition and every single one of the NATO-trained brigades with the "wunderwaffe" are engaged and being attritted as we speak. That's all we got for our $100B: Andriivka and Robotyne. Pre-war population 74 and 520 respectively.
    5
  2916. LOL, even Lvov is easy meat for Iskander. They probably going to pull up chairs right next to the border in Romania and just lean forward into Ukraine to have their meeting...."

  2917.  @jamesfitton140  Ukraine saying something is hardly "evidence"

  2918. He had three different peace plans in front of him, and all three the US/UK told him "if you sign, we will no longer defend you". Who is the real monster??

  2919. Take it all Russia. Take it for the family...."

  2921. I mean Rivian is cool, but Hummer is on another level right? Rivian is a nice "lifestyle truck"; Hummer is a Tesla-crushing Superweapon. A middle-finger to the hand wringing Greenies who have forced us down this path. You know which one I want! 🙂

  2928. LOL. "We will send it to the US, what they do with it after they get it we have no idea about" Japan better be careful; they are not in NATO so Russia will have no issue with "escalation" if they Iskander Japan.

  2929. Zelensky should have offered the illegal immigrants on America's border citizenship in Ukraine for any that will come back with him and fight. He might have gotten a brigade or two...

  2930. Political damage more than physical
    5
  2931. Since they are not NATO, they can see with clear eyes. No matter what success they may have, the US/UK will torpedo it by telling Zelensky "if you sign, we will no longer give you tanks and security support". Just like they did last December when Ukraine was seriously considering peace.
    5
  2932. That's normal in most of Central and Southern Europe. They are far more relaxed about life than their stuffy, uptight neighbors to the north...
    5
  2933. Our own media contributes to the "fog of war" purposefully; Milley himself is the source of a lot of it. The recent NYT article about "500,000 total" casualties, initially had several passages and language that apparently caused a stir to the degree the editors changed it. Words like "devastating" were removed if it related to Ukraine, left untouched if it related to Russia. Type in a google search on the words "ukraine conscription" and you will get mostly articles on Russian conscription. That our minds are being shaped by the Biden Administration I hope is not a surprise to any American.

  2942. Building something spectacular when money is no object is cool, but doesn't really impress me. As to EVs that you can be emotionally attached to, the jury is still out on that imho. Who is still emotionally "attached" to their iPhone X? No one. To see how that translates to the automotive industry (now that it is becoming the consumer electronics industry), one need look no further than the Porsche Taycan. Three years ago it wowed everyone, and its top model tickled $200,000 and Porsche couldn't make them fast enough. As of today, I can find a three year old $150,000 Taycan with less than 5000 miles on it for $68,000. It is not possible to get emotional about a product that becomes obsolete so quickly. A 1991 NSX is over 30 YEARS old and most of those who watch this channel would give their right arm to have one (manual of course). 😂

  2947. LOL. The fact they haven't had to pay for that $100 BILLION DOLLAR car in the garage??? If I didn't have to pay for my Ferrari, my balance sheet would look a lot better too!! 🙂
    5
  2948. The military historian in me is fascinated by the tactical minutia of modern warfare, but tbh this is politically the stupidest modern war I've heard of; probably only the Franco-Prussian war was more stupid. This is basically a civil war---Ukrainians and Russians 20 years ago would look at you crazy if you asked them "is that your enemy?"

  2951. Kyiv Pravda says the plant was destroyed by Russia's new X-69 (a stealth version of the existing Kh-59) cruise missile. It is possible the Su-57 actually entered Ukrainian airspace to launch it as the missile is much smaller than the usual Kh-101s that have much longer range ( but can only be carried by big bombers which the US warns Ukraine about as soon as they take off). This means even another $30B worth of Patriots won't save Zelensky. Kyiv has the heaviest air defenses in the entire country. Russia has stealth fighters that carry stealth missiles. That is GGWP."
    5
  2952. There was no "path" to begin with. Infantry only, no vehicles, that can only advance under the cover of FPV drones with 7 km range max, while under constant bombardment by drones, artillery, bombs, and hundreds of armored vehicles lurking in the forest in front of them?? Only Zelensky could come up with such madness
    5
  2953. Don't fall for it Iran; they are goading you because they want to be able to respond. Don't give them what they want; keep your eyes focused on the prize that will one day soon allow you to be free from this kind of bullying forever....

  2954. I have zero enmity for Ukraine; most Americans could not find Ukraine on a map before 2014. I have enmity for Joe Biden and this disastrous attempt to "teach Russia a lesson" on the cheap using Ukrainian lives. I have enmity for Zelensky who went along with this once Austin/Milley/Nuland/Blinken convinced him they could give him enough weapons to beat Russia. Beat Russia. The country that defeated two of the largest armies in history in Napoleon and Hitler. After watching your entire summary, I just feel sadness for all these Ukrainian guys being ground to dust under the Russian steamroller; the photo of women and children only being allowed to leave, and all these grandpas trying to stop Storm-Z. That Zelensky-----I hope he gets his just rewards Mussolini style by his own people's hands.

  2957. FPV drones are the future, but Russia dominates Ukraine in this realm too. Russian ones are manufactured by their MIC, not built at home by hobbyists or stitched together from racing drones bought off Ebay. Just spend a week watching FPV attack video (there's a LOT of it) from either side, you'll clearly see the Russian ones are far more robust, bigger rotors, bigger antennae, etc. with military displays. The Ukraine ones still have the display from the racing drone manufacturer. Also, Russia has far greater drone jamming tech, again from their MIC. Ukraine is definitely fighting well with FPV drones, but Russia just has better ones and more of them. Pretty much like everything else.

  2958. Azov 47th mechanized refused to go there. That seems to be a huge story as that brigade has had enormous Western media coverage as it has most Western equipment.

  2959. I'm a Toyota fan; and I was all set to get a 2nd job a few years ago for an LC-F to replace my C7. They killed it, but they tried to soften the blow with the RC-F Fuji and this. I'm happy, but not enough to go out and buy one. The reality is $65K can get you an M2 manual, or a Mustang Dark Horse manual and I am sorry, if "FUN" is what you are dropping this kind of money on a car for, the IS 500 simply cannot compete for the price. It would be better if it were at $55K to go against the TLX Type-S.

  2962. Yes, BOTH have military equipment in them.

  2963. These troop numbers afaik come from "Ukraine Intelligence" ; the same place that said 15,000 North Koreans were in Kursk. I don't doubt Russia has massed troops in these places but the numbers just as much propaganda as the casualties are.

  2964. Zelensky is a madman; he wants to bring the rest of us in to save him as his army is in retreat everywhere. We call on Trump to end this madness!!

  2969. Anyone who has studied Russian history, particularly their history in the 20th century knows the "steamroller" phase is coming. We just don't know when or where exactly. That it IS coming there is no doubt. When it starts, only the Russians themselves will be capable of stopping it.
    5
  2970. Good video. Very good basic explanation of a lot of things we read about but rarely see unless we are mechanics. I have had two of these "modern" 2.0Ts and my verdict on them is mixed. They perform great, smoother than I thought they'd be, and get fantastic mpgs. However, they do require more repairs as having more parts to fail means more will fail. For example I had one plastic turbo coolant line plug fail and it was $300 repair for a $2 plastic part. I also had wastegate actuator wear out at 70K miles. IMHO, these costs wipe out the fuel economy savings so I have begun to switch back to NA engines only. Just replaced one 2.0T at 90K miles with a 3.5 NA V6. Gonna just stick with that until they force me out with EVs.
    5
  2971. Good God, what is that like 16 or 17 brigades Zelensky has in Kursk pocket now?? That's more than double what they have in Zaporizhzhia direction...
    5
  2972. ohhh, Leopard 1s.... I thought it was something meaningful.
    5
  2973. Soldiers = Target. Stop crying----Ukraine has had 10 or 20 chances to stop the war and negotiate a settlement; they always say "no we will fight to the death". Ok then, you got what you want.
    5
  2974. 30??? Ukraine wishes they had such a low cut off. They've had 55 year old men in their Territorial Defense Units for over a year now. They are actually training 60,000 of their women to go to the front and fight tanks and helicopters. You'd think CNN would love a story like that but two weeks after I read it in UK news, nothing on CNN about it.

  2978. Moved here 22 years ago; within three months I saw more news reports like this one than in my previous 24 years of life where I was raised. I realized I'd moved to the drunk driving capital of the United States. Nothing you can do to stop it; just never drive after midnight on Friday or Saturday, eliminates 95% of the risk. That's all you can do to bend the Arc of Fate a little in your favor.

  2984. LOL. The "scramble" phase was over about three days ago; AFU has been trying to attack in all directions outward for almost a week and they only got 1km in the east resulting in Sudzha. In all other directions RU now has enough troops to beat AFU back. That's why the "bulge" doesn't look much different that it did on Monday; the lines have mostly formed...."

  2990. How is it one guy below said "The defeat of Russia" and its been there 2 hours, I say the same thing and its insta-deleted???
    5
  2991. Russia has 1/10th US military budget, and is now fighting TWENTY NATO/EU countries (confirmed # sending arms to Ukraine). 20 to 1 and Russia hanging in there....just think about that.
    5
  2992. Well the Comedian has played his trick, he can only do it once. Napolensky's little invasion force is now completely surrounded and is digging in (as if that will matter to the FABs). Fun while it lasted tho!!!" 😂
    5
  2993. I honestly feel sorry for this guy; like 99% of Americans I never paid any attention to Ukraine before 2014, and very little until 2021. No natural predisposition to not like a Ukrainian, so seeing him clearly physically suffering, and obviously expending serious mental energy to answer, is sad. How difficult it must be for a warrior to have to make yourself available for PR efforts to those who hold the keys to their armory, and then try to justify them feeling your efforts are worthy of them opening the gate to give you a few more swords. Each of his words chosen extremely carefully, as a lie would be easily exposed destroying his credibility (and his countries chances to get more swords). I do not envy him at all...."

  2994. Good. Make your voice heard. Here we are free to speak our mind.

  2996. Joe you always crack me up with your "high speed run warmup routine"! My favorite part is watching the car behind you in the rearview mirror disappear when you floor it. I know how that feels as I have a 2012 XK-R with (only) 510 HP version of this engine, and when the F-Type came out I wasn't really wowed. I still think the XK looks better but 2017 was the year the F-Type caught my attention. The aero, the sound, the priority of sport more than luxury; this is when it actually became different enough from the XK for me to actually consider adding to my collection. Mine is 8 years old and roars like a---well, you know! :-)

  2999. Just saw Russian flag over Avdiivka...NATO better stop throwing good money after bad in Ukraine. They lost this one, better start preparing for the next (even bigger one) as Russia is.
    5
  3000. Why bother? Zelensky already told them yesterday that those holding his leash will not allow him to stop fighting until victory or death (of the last Ukrainian). They probably just going to discuss future grain contracts with the soon to be new owners of Ukraine's farmland.
    5
  3001. Sat in one last week at an auto show, interior is very spacious but finish I'd put on par with an Accord Sport (Accord Touring is much better). Nothing wrong with that, base Accord interior has been very good for decades. The problem is PRICE. A top end Accord Touring with leather is $36K. A top end Ioniq5 is $59K (and dealers are adding $10K). That is a problem. A very, very big problem.
    5
  3002. It won't buy him anything politically. If he has to be forced to do his job, purely because Ukraine is being steamrolled, then that tells us-----his people----what his true priority is.
    5
  3003. Right SKY, keep trying to find some positive spin for Ukraine. Meanwhile the factories in the Urals run day and night, pumping out weapons and ammo at a rate not seen in Russia since WW2. When the steamroller starts, it won't stop at Ukraine...
    5
  3004. Stuff like this doesn't happen in a vacuum. That is RAGE; and emotion such as that takes YEARS to build up. Israel wasn't invaded out of the blue by say, Peru----it was PALESTINE and there is a reason.
    5
  3005. I believe Russia over US/UK; Erdogan was right when he said he "trusts NATO and Putin the same".
    5
  3006. LOL. That'll scare 'em.....
    5
  3007. I remember when Selydove was far in the rear, now its just the next target. Wow. Making it to the line of combat for a Ukrainian vehicle of any type is essentially 100% luck at this point.
    5
  3008. LOL. There have always been more Russians in Donetsk than Ukrainians!
    5
  3009. When cars that normally would come with very expensive leather and wood, now come with vinyl or cloth and plastic (or recycled rubber mats) as interior materials, are the prices reflecting this de-contenting?? On most cars the leather upgrade is $4000+ so if cars that once had it standard are now removing it are the cars $4000 less expensive??? Seems like manufacturers are pulling a fast one with this "ohh, this is animal-free" (but we'll charge you the same as if we put Connolly Leather in there)....
    5
  3010. YT won't even allow me to post the true measure of the situation Europe is in relative to Russia. They will only allow me to say that it is "dire".
    5
  3011. 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?
    5
  3012. LMAO!! The got it FROM Russia!! Watching CNN rots the brain
    5
  3013. Zelensky intransigence and the shattered look of their soldiers, has Ukraine reminding me of Imperial Japan near the end
    5
  3014.  @vadymvv  That is a lie. I can point you to MANY quotes from Milley, Austin, and Blinken (one just last week!) where they overtly state that US motivation to help Ukraine is the "opportunity to weaken and degrade Russia". THEIR words , not mine.
    5
  3015.  @AlvarezMichelle99  just follow the maintenance and it just runs. Only "gotcha" I've found is you really need to put premium gas in it. I was on a road trip and stopped near Little Rock at some no name gas station. Within minutes of me filling up, it started running rough and letting me know it was pissed off. It ran fine on the highway but she was clear she doesn't like that cheap isht gas. She is Italian...high maintenance but worth it!

  3016. He needs to "aim" for negotiation talks. Even $20B worth of air defenses can't stop every missile and does nothing about their huge retreats all along the line. He is beaten...."
    5
  3017. I really feel sorry for a Ukraine soldier. RU watched them gather for weeks, then yesterday just before they were to attack, RU bombed all their tanks and heavy guns. Now, they rushed in to face experienced troops who been waiting for them all along. AFU just can't win anything anymore.
    5
  3018. Remember CNN/BBC/SKY/NBC all making fun of the Russian motorcycle troopers six months ago? They not laughing anymore...
    5
  3019. Not the same. IDF women just fight teenage boys with slings or poorly trained and armed "gunmen". Ukraine's women going up against Pacific Fleet Marines or VDV or Wagner. A bit different...
    5
  3020. Prigozhin's feud with the Military and the "elites" within it is long running and deep. If this was a demonstration to get better terms I could understand that; but to kill even one Russian at a time of war is unforgiveable. I really cannot understand why he did this at the time he did; if this were AFTER Ukraine and NATO were defeated and peace terms settled? Yes, I could see something like this coming from him, but DURING the war? I believe there is a "third hand" at work behind what he did; I'm sure of it but the truth won't come out for months or years.

  3023. Because the things are bulletproof reliable, easy and simple to maintain, and get mpg that turns fuel costs into beer money. I put $12 in my Prius when the range indicator said "0" and when I started it the range went to 275. Gas becomes meaningless

  3025. Cars like this should come with 3 or 4 years track access included at a variety of venues in the country in which it was sold. Schlepping in SUV-filled traffic back and forth to work in a car like this is an affront to Nature.
    5
  3026. So what? What business is it of ours?? You don't see Peru worrying about whether our elections are "legit" or not in their opinion...."
    5
  3027. US corps ADM, Cargill, Monsanto etc. are using the cheap grain they extract from Ukraine to sell to non-EU markets. Of course this depresses prices wherever such grain is found. That's what they are mad about.
    5
  3028. Wagners storm troopers are the best urban combat soldiers on Earth. After the war, US cities will hire them to pacify dangerous neighborhoods just like they did Bakhmut.

  3036. Two more Ukrainian brigades refused to deploy to Ocheretnye today and the town fell to Russia. That is three AFU brigades that have surrendered or left their positions or refused to deploy in the past two weeks. US better make sure that once all this stuff crosses the border they make sure just who the hell they are handing this stuff over to!!'

  3037. Putin is doing EXACTLY what his life's work has always been: To build a world that no longer rotates around Anglo-Saxon countries. It really is just that simple.

  3038. So? Kursk is Russia; they can deploy the Easter Bunny inside their own country!
    5
  3039. I got a 2022 Kicks for my college kid to get him into something much more modern than the (bulletproof) 2006 ES330 he was given when he finished HS. He liked the modern tech and the utility but hated how slow it was; after a couple weeks he asked for the old family Lexus back and he said he "missed that smooth 200hp V6". LOL. More power is what this needed the most; I still don't like the CVT, but I've heard if you change the fluid every 40K miles it will last 150K+. The old one wasn't ugly but was kind of basic looking, this looks a lot more "youthful". Nissan may be able to find success in the same place Mitsubishi has for years: simple, inexpensive, reliable, and good looking.

  3040. Not yet....

  3041. Your conservative methodology around showing territory under control of either side is greatly appreciated and one of the reasons this channel is one of only 2 or 3 that are my "go to" when I need to confirm or discredit what I see on BBC or CNN. Some other mil bloggers today show a bit more Russian advance north of Bakhmut, but even they also admit they cannot confirm if Russia has the whole town or just a part of it. Stay true to who you are!!
    5
  3042. 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.

  3048. Supreme Allied Commander Cavoli said last week that "Russian army is 15% bigger, and far more capable and powerful than it was two years ago". He finished with: "Cavoli said in his written testimony that Russia is expected to produce more ammunition than all 32 NATO allies combined per year and is on track to “command the largest military on the continent..." Good job, NATO. Solid work there "weakening" Russia. Your meddling has turned them into the most powerful force in the Galaxy.

  3049. RU may have gotten some F-16s last night. A town called Ivano-Frankivsk; AFU made an F-16 video last week that gave away its position. No one knows for sure, but there were missile hits on Ivano-Frankivsk last night...."

  3050. I had a 2003 LC for a few years, but it was overkill for my needs and its horrible fuel economy (12 mpg) made it easy to trade it out. Yes, it was built like a tank, supremely comfortable and reliable, but those traits you can find in many other far more efficient vehicles. The old LCs were something of a "status symbol" in the US----the very definition of luxury is being wealthy enough to have an LC , but not need an LC. Nobody took them off road; the first time they tasted dirt was when they were 12 years old and shipped off to a 3rd world country. So, imho, this is a little confusing: it does not fit into the market space it occupied here for 25 years (G-Wagen, Defender V8, 'Slade/Denali, new QX80 have that well covered), however the "I don't go off road, but I want to look like I do" market is probably large enough to move a few. The problem is the powertrain is not robust enough to do hard work; the old one had the same engine as a Tundra so you technically could tow a battleship with it, this new one does not have that capability headroom. So, no "prestige" buyer, no "I do real work" buyer, you only left with the Jeep crowd.

  3051. Yay! No mention of the M139 in the A/CLA 45! Now, there is nothing to stop me from buying one!

  3053. He was wounded; not known how badly.

  3054. Give me the PHEV. Don't want anything to do with a BMW engine at all. Plus at 62 miles electric range, I may only need to gas up once a month. That my friends, is a WIN - WIN!
    5
  3055. Whats so important about Bakhmut? Just a better chance at success than fortress Zaporizhzhia?
    5
  3056. All those AFU FPV drone hits in the north, the signal goes about 4/5 seconds before they hit; you can see them gyrate before the signal cuts out. RU is jamming them in that area to cover their advance.
    5
  3057. Ukraine hasn't "paid" for anything in two years.
    5
  3058. YT won't let us post any response to the military analysis.... If we analyze the tactical footage and post our conclusions, they delete it immediately. Who knows? Some of us may actually notice something that could help the Russians so they are making sure that doesn't happen.
    5
  3059. Is their stuff as good as Lockheed Martin or Northrop Grumman's best? No, of course not. Are their pilots as good as US Air Force? No, of course not. However, they don't need to be. China only needs to be good enough to deter the United States, that's it. Quantity has a quality all its own and with thousands of J-10, J-11, J-16, and J-20s (and in a decade at least five supercarriers), the US can only talk with China, never attack them. That is all that is needed for world peace.

  3060. We are talking Toyota here. If anyone can make that more complicated motor reliable it is them. They've earned the benefit of the doubt over the past 50 years.

  3061. No more Western jokes about the T-54 now.... flapping mouths have been shut by reality. Can you say "desperation"?
    5
  3062. It is nice to see Nissan crawling back to relevance. For most of my life they've been second only to Toyota and Honda and it has saddened me they've become barely better than a Kia for the past decade. Their engines have never been their weak spot; very smart of them to just go buy from ZF and allow their customers to never have to worry about the trans again.

  3063. West tried to get Ukraine to offset China but that has failed

  3066. Very good cars; great even for the SS/ZL1 probably. However, Mustang and Challenger just did it better in all respects this generation. I'm not sold on whether an EV can ever be a "muscle car", no matter how fast it is. Maybe GM can pull off a "light refresh" like Ford has done with Mustang?
    5
  3067. Blinken and US military told Zelensky all the losses last week are "reversible" when the US weapons arrive AND Kyiv gets a few hundred thousand more soldiers. LOL

  3070. Have you noticed Ukraine is being overrun? So all these "old weapons" are doing nothing but getting them killed for a longer time than otherwise? Are you sure you're doing this to help them or help Northrop Grumman?
    5
  3071. lol, she was fired. 😂

  3072. Those hypersonic washing machines are extremely accurate and destructive. The mighty Kinzhal (Dagger), Iskander (Alexander[the Great]), Kh-22 Burya (Storm), and Oniks (Onyx) will be the names of a new line of extremely expensive luxury washing machines made in China.
    5
  3073. Since June 5th, Ukraine has suffered 28,000 casualties, and that is coming from an array of military analysts and even the mainstream media who reported the 30% losses in Western equipment over same period. This is BEFORE the massive attacks of last week!! Even if you cut that number in HALF, that is an annualized casualty rate of over 85,000. That is almost the entire amount of soldiers Ukraine has deployed. The Telegraph had report two weeks ago that Ukraine's 48th Mountain was training 60,000 women for combat operations! A nation that is willing to throw its women, the only ones who can birth its future, into the meat grinder, is a nation that deserves to lose. This is insane. Armistice. Now.
    5
  3074. Just remember Lavrov gave Biden/Zelensky the final ultimatum last week. Let history record that Ukraine had one last chance to avoid what is coming

  3075. baby-faced children. why is it almost always us?
    5
  3076. In the first year these are alll under warranty and (often) maintenance plans. There is zero additional cost, so I am skeptical of how much long term maintenance costs affect a decision to dump a car in year one!! These are all entry lux models; my guess is people think they can swing that $599 a month lease and in a few months realize a $300 a month car meets their needs just fine.
    5
  3077. The Ukraine War has demonstrated to the World that the "NATO way" of defense provides only the illusion of security. Fabulously expensive weaponry may win against poor countries, or in short conflicts; but in protracted wars between closely matched opponents, they hardly guarantee victory. They will be destroyed eventually in battle, and cannot easily be scaled up to replace due to their complexity. They are riven with features and ideas untested in the crucible of real combat, and these often provide many avenues for an enemy to counter the weapon. Reality often knocks sense into one's head, even if for some it takes a few and others it takes many...
    5
  3078. I don't know about that, Wagner core is all ex-Russian military and my sense of it is they are patriots first, merc second. Also, now that Belorussia is aware of the NATO plot against them, there is a new 50K army right there that likely won't sit around and wait to be attacked.
    5
  3079. Scott Ritter was right. Back in September he said there are Americans who have grown up after the Cold War that believe a nuclear war is "winnable". I thought he was nuts; now I see he was 100% correct.
    5
  3080. Putin: "I only need to know two things. One, how many 152mm artillery shells can you produce each month? Two, what do you want in return for shipping every single one to me?" Kim: "I can easily produce 10,000 shells per month, and my friend Xi can simply route through me another 150,000 shells per month. As to what I want from you? Everything...."

  3082. That is about what, 20 Patriot missiles?
    5
  3083. The Ukrainian 🇺🇦 counter-offensive is more or less over. According to White House officials Ukraine has sustained roughly 76,000 casualties since it began 4 months ago. It was nothing short of a slaughter..
    5
  3084. Sure you can. Just TALK.
    5
  3085. I'd go RAV4 as it is built to last 20 years like all Toyotas, and you get more overall since you don't have to pay for all those expensive batteries; just enough battery to get you the miles you'll do in a day. ID.4 looks a bit better though and either one would be fine for me as they are both just appliances that no one gets emotional about anyway.
    5
  3086. Ive never seen a country with no actual treaty with anyone, so feted with money, weapons, and support. How many countries over the past 40 years resisting another country, got such treatment?? Even US ally never got such weapons as M1 tank.
    5
  3087. The 2.0T style hasn't really been around long enough, imho in widespread use as it is today, for accurate evaluation across all brands. 20 years ago a 2.0T four was almost always seen only in a JDM sports coupe. Basic cars had an NA 2.0 four, mid grade was a 3.0 V6 or I6, and trucks or large cars had a NA 4.0/5.0 V8. That was 90% of the engines on the market. A turbo four or six was guaranteed to be only seen in a JDM sports car. I've heard that 2.0T's don't last but I've yet to really be convinced that is true; however I will not argue that a NA V6/I6 or V8 in my experience will have the longest service life.
    5
  3088. How come this isn't on CNN or SKY? They give daily updates of sq km taken...."
    5
  3089. LOL. The HD video today of a Kinzhal on terminal approach to a hotel full of US/UK mercenaries would argue otherwise. Oh well, makes sense for UK to send a lot of stuff as it seems its mostly their mercenaries being demilitarized every week.
    5
  3090. The West "grows" by taking the cream of the crop (historically, not recently) from poorer nations, stunting them and helping to keep them poor. Non-Western nations seek maintenance or growth by their own population maintaining a net positive birthrate. Of the two choices, which seems more "moral" to you?
    5
  3091. Ukraine sent their reserve army into. Robotyne today. The one with the Challengers Marders and Strykers. If they smash through to Tokmak, Ukraine may be given the weapons to fight into 2024. If Russia crushes this new armored fist like the last two led by Leopard 2, the war is over.

  3095. No more hiding in the Western press: Forbes has article up this morning on "how Russia used a NK missile to blow up two Ukrainian supply depots". I KNEW something unusual happened when the US put Adm. Kirby up there with maps and charts just a few days after Russia's huge air raid. To get a response like that from the US meant whatever Russia hit was critical indeed.

  3101. Every battery I've put in my cars over past 20 or so years has been either Autozone or Wal-Mart. Never had any issue with either. Who knew they were basically the same thing! LOL.

  3104. US is not going to fight over Taiwan. It has no historical or cultural significance to us, there is no Treaty that requires the US to fight, only to arm them. Congress can of course change this at any time, and I can assure you, the average Joes and Janes of the US will not send their sons and daughters to be sacrificed for Taiwan. This is a fantasy video....

  3109. The F-16 destruction has set off a firestorm in American media today. On CNN all day there were 2000+ comments that it was "old airframe, 45 year old plane, old electronics, old this or that, etc." , then just an hour ago at the Pentagon briefing some reporter asked "what about the new electronic warfare equipment it was carrying" , and Singh only responded that you have to 'ask the Ukrainians' ; she did not deny there was some new EW on it. So, Biden gave Napolensky some new EW tech and on the FIRST NIGHT it was used, it got smoked...."

  3113. Funny question. You have to get the Abrams to Crimea for Russia to have to worry about "losing" it. The Ukrainian 🇺🇦 counter-offensive is more or less over. According to White House officials Ukraine has sustained roughly 76,000 casualties since it began 3 months ago. It was nothing short of a slaughter..
    5
  3114. Honda+Nissan should be able to dominate in "performance" hybrids. Just a few years ago Honda had the 3-motor/3.0l V6 hybrid in the MDX which was 375hp/32 mpg but no one bought it, primarily due to expense. A decade ago Nissan had the 3.5v6 with hybrid punching about the same in HP/MPGs so both have the skills. I heard Mitsu may be in on that mash up too which will REALLY help them. The JDM world must continue to have Nissan and Mitsubishi; even if they are just brands of Honda.
    5
  3115. There are 48 countries in "Asia"; this guy's mistake was marrying a Chinese woman. That may have worked 50 or 60 years ago, but China is ascending to #1 this century and they know it. That means their women know they are just a decade or two from #1 status. In most countries the child takes the identity of the mother, so Chinese women know that no matter who father's their kids, the kids are "Chinese" (for the most part) and will enjoy the status of being #1. Just like for a few centuries if your kid was half Spanish, French, British, or American they enjoyed a significant amount of status boost in life. Get an Asian woman from Pacific Islands or Thailand or Singapore or Indonesia, Cambodia, Laos, etc. Heck even a Hawaiian woman (my choice in wife!) would be ten times better a wife than your garden variety White American/Black/Latina woman (with some exceptions---Caribbean, South American women may be worth a shot). Chinese? Hell no; you get what you deserve.
    5
  3116. 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.
    5
  3117. 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...
    5
  3118. In 1984, NATO would not ever have dared even breathe such a course of action as we openly see it doing at this very moment. Why? Because back then, they (we all) were convinced its only outcome was NATO either back down or the northern hemisphere goes away. What is the point of conventional war with Russia if, once NATO starts to irrevocably win, the missiles fly and its adios muchachos?? In the past 20 or so years, an entire Western school of thought has arisen that is simplified to: 1. Russia is poor and proper ICBM maintenance is very, very expensive. Ergo, the rockets so deadly in 1984 probably won't even work. 2. 40 years of ABM development can knock down a large enough % of any rockets that do work, such that NATO will "win" simply by more of it surviving than Russia survives. Everything we've seen this week is confirmation that this belief is now NATO policy. Heckuva game of poker, eh??"
    5
  3119. Nothing on CNN about that either...

  3120. 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.

  3123. Kind of "spin", eh? 80 of 90 countries basically agreed that "it is time to talk "
    5
  3124. The RAV4 and this are basically all the car 80% of humanity would need 99% of the time. Of course no one "needs" luxury but its nice to have a quieter vehicle and some people just want nice things too. There is an engine to fit pretty much anyones desire, and its Toyota so its built better than any other car on Earth and will last 20+ years with ease. Oh and the spindle grille actually is done well here; no god-ugly implementation like on their bigger SUVs. Slam dunk.
    5
  3125. In the long term of course, but as of today NATO is probably weaker than its ever been.
    5
  3126. This thing is awesome---one of the few BMWs that remain that have any vestigial shreds of DNA from the masterpieces of the 90s and early 00s. However with a 2023 Z coming with a TTV6 making more power than this, RWD, and a God-honest manual for all of $40K to start, I'm not sure I pay $25K more for that BMW DNA...
    5
  3127. Israel is the USA"s prime proxy; has been for over 50 years. Ukraine was the newest proxy but so far has not been as successful...

  3128.  @raymondparnell439  That is near the front when they are attacking a contested city; 500km away??? What tactical point is there to put a $1M missile into an apartment building??
    5
  3129. What is "Far Right" in EU terms? What policy makes one Far Right?
    5
  3130. Makes perfect sense. NATO knows if the F-16 is based in Ukraine, Russia will Kinzhal the bases every day until no F-16 is left. If one of them takes off from Poland or Romania and bombs Russia, they have every right to destroy the base it came from no matter where it is.
    5
  3131. EFP warhead. Explosively Formed Penetrator.... specifically designed for NATO tanks.
    5
  3132. ? The Oniks missiles last night came from two warship and a submarine in the Black Sea.
    5
  3133. I see many kids, teens, old ladies etc.also being hit by these and can't help but think: "Israel got 10 of it's enemies, but created 10,000 new ones in doing so..."
    5
  3134. I also heard Zelensky changed the day they celebrate Christmas to the Western day of Dec. 25th from the Russian Orthodox Christian one of January 7. That'll go over well...

  3135. "Bakhmut lives in our hearts" 🤣
    5
  3136. If the Western media actually showed for once what really happened near Robotyne yesterday, what would happen? Let me describe it: In all the past week's videos, I hardly see any Ukrainian vehicle firing its gun right before it is hit by a Lancet, shell, or mine. To me, they are being hit before they even acquire a target, meaning it is very unlikely they even know where the Russians are. Yesterday the two Swedish CV-90s that were destroyed by RPG7s WERE firing their guns when hit, but the hits came from the side, not ahead where their gun barrel was aimed----they did not see the Russians who killed them. Also, the only Russian equipment I see being hit are from FPV drones, not from any tank or IFV in these assaults. Ukraine suffered THOUSANDS of casualties the past three days; most of whom never even saw a Russian to shoot at.
    5
  3137. Every now and then you have to do what you warn you will do, otherwise people believe your words are idle.
    5
  3138. The real target? Or a diversion?
    5
  3139. What should worry Ukraine more than the Lancet at 80 km, is the fact THERE'S AN ORLAN DRONE JUST SITTING IN THE SKY DEEP IN THEIR TERRITORY WATCHING THE WHOLE THING! lol.
    5
  3140. Obviously, not very much....
    5
  3141. When RU dropped an Iskander on a single tank a week or so ago, I thought to myself. "They must have no real practical limit on Iskanders if they can spend one on a single tank". Nothing I've seen since has changed my mind..."
    5
  3142. Bakhmut, Marinka, Avdiivka, AFU makes being encircled and destroyed part of their strategy. Russia just took more territory in the last day than Ukraine did in all of their Summer Offensive.
    5
  3143. 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?
    5
  3144. $250B and counting!! Greatest welfare program in history! 😂
    5
  3145. 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.
    5
  3146. This is just the beginning. Russia moved 8 warships into the Black Sea, and 8 more into the Mediterranean. Each armed with 16 Kalibr missiles. In a few weeks, Odessa will cease to exist.

  3161. It is hard to accept that a Corvette and a Mustang can be in the same sentence, but the Mustang steadily moved upmarket while Corvette (in base form) pretty much has held the line for 30 years. Yes, we are comparing the "top" of Mustang to the "bottom" of Corvette , but there has never been any overlap between these models, and now there is. On a track, even the hottest Mustang was a sliding, oversteering mess that a base 'Vette would run away from, never to be seen again. That began to end in 2015 and now here we are these two are very competitive on a track.
    5
  3162. The T-80s and T-90s are like: " where you at bitches? Stop hiding and fight!" to the Challenger
    5
  3163. Everyone (except me) thought the Leopard 2 would just drive through mines, drones, artillery, and missiles; shrugging off weapons designed 30 years ago expressly to destroy modern tanks, like they were hand grenades. If it ran into a T-80, the tungsten penetrator would just bounce off while its own blew off the T-80s turret, and behind it would be a dozen Bradleys, all equally invulnerable to all known weaponry, which would just drop off Ukrainian soldiers wearing artillery-proof armor who would just mow down enemy troops Rambo-style. I hear the same BS bubbling for months now about the F-16 and I'll put my money where my mouth is right now that the F-16 will have its ass handed to it in exactly the same way the Leopard 2 did.

  3164. ...all those dudes in Valhalla now. LOL.

  3165. In 1943, the Germans had two million soldiers poised to take Kursk, along with them were the 800,000-strong Italian 8th Army, and 225,000-strong Hungarian 1st Army. In total, THREE MILLION men intent on taking Kursk. When the smoke cleared, the Italians and Hungarians were decimated so severely, only 10 percent of the men they sent to Russia returned to their homelands. The Germans were mauled badly, but the bulk of their force survived to make a retreat that didn't stop until the Battle of Berlin. People never listen to historians until its too late. They say "it will be different this time", and it almost never is...."

  3168. Two Leopard 2's destroyed this week were abandoned when the Lancet hit them. Word from the front is AFU hate's Western tanks for two reasons. #1 As soon as you show up, every Russian in a 10 mile radius shoots at you and no one wants to be the first one to die. #2 They are so heavy that their off-road performance is no good, restricting them to roads where Russian artillery already pre-sighted. Some AFU faking "mechanical failure" and leaving them before they are even hit.

  3172. Alfa Giulia Ti has more power, torque, looks and handles better. In the entry level sport sedan space BMW is no longer the BEST; you have to judge this vs. the Giulia. Is it just as good as the Alfa?
    5
  3173. Good bird, but while it has some advantages over an F-16, it has all the same disadvantages. It isn't stealthy so it is just as vulnerable to AA missiles. A Su-27 or 35 will find it to be an easy mark in a 1 v. 1 fight as Russian pilots have years of experience in their planes. It can carry lots of weapons but it needs huge logistics and secure bases to support it (which Russia will Kinzhal whenever it wants), and even if they send 100 of them, Russia has 900 fighters and eventually they'll all be destroyed on the ground or in the air.

  3174. When in military history has attacking a country caused its people to go after their own leadership????" Napolensky logic...."

  3175. NATO is done with Ukraine; it is more than obvious now. A month ago, Austin flew to Kyiv and told them: "build defenses with dragon's teeth around Kharkiv and your other major cities". Ukraine got a free $20B army and wasted it; they had their chance. The US now has bigger fish to fry in the ME.

    5
  3183. Thats the price of Zelensky's choice. Two years ago he could have just chosen neutrality and non-alignment, and no cities in rubble, no ports destroyed, no having to travel the world a beggar, no 500,000 dead and maimed for life. Pretty steep price just to trade one master for another....
    5
  3184. "We won't allow anyone to threaten us." Simple really...
    5
  3185. No one knows. I think both are true; the plane had weapons but Russia knew about the threat so stuck some POWs on there at the last minute to deter AFU from shooting at it. Zelensky made the call to sacrifice the POWs to get the plane.

  3191. For Latinos my guess would be the Christianity part?? Latinos are generally pretty religiously conservative. For the Black men, I'd guess the economic aspect; strong economy means lots of good paying jobs. Look how many Dodge muscle cars have been sold over the past several years. That could only happen due to a strong job market.
    5
  3192. AFU fights well; I'll give them that. Their leaders make terrible decisions but the man in the mud does his duty. However, no matter how much they resist on a tactical level, at the strategic level, Ukraine (and their NATO sponsors) have completely failed, of that there is no doubt. The whole "cut the land bridge blahh, blahh" was a complete and total failure; they got five miles in six months. Yesterday Zaluzhny admitted what everyone knows; they can't push Russia out, all they can do is resist. That is FAILURE. The whole point of the war was to push Russia out (so NATO can move missiles and ships into a "NATO" Ukraine): that was what both sponsor and proxy wanted. That is now admitted to be impossible. So, what is AFU fighting for now?

The last 8 to 10 years really have been a letdown: Christmas parties banned, speaking to pretty co-workers now as risky as playing football in a minefield, etc. I'll come back for 5 more years, 100% in office like its 2005 again, and replace the lazy slackers who won't come in. I'll do it for only $500K a year. I can start anytime..."

  3197. Why were two of your most recent videos have comments disabled???

  3198. Exponentially more difficult. Robotyne line had no "dragons teeth" or anti-tank ditches. AFU attacked here precisely because it was a bit weaker, but the lines behind this one are double wide and have "dragons teeth" and anti-tank ditches. City of Tokmak itself is ringed with this type of double wide defense.

    5
  3203. Reports all over Western media last month that Russia is producing artillery shells at a rate SEVEN times that of NATO combined. 380,000 new recruits (not conscripts) in 2023 alone. Manpower and ammo; the two things Ukraine has in the least. "Head in sand" thinking like yours is what has caused this disaster.
    5
  3204. I tend to agree but for a different reason; since the Fall of Bakhmut Russia has had the initiative and terrorist attacks in Belgorod just proved to me Ukraine's core combat power is weakening so they have to do guerilla warfare. Keeping the Russians at bay for a while in Kherson DOES help, but it only delays the inevitable. If Russia sends two 25K man army groups into Ukraine in two different areas one will be checked while the other will blitz all the way to Kyiv.

  3211. Zakaria on CNN interview with Zelensky said it right out loud to Zelensky face: "You can't push Russia out of Crimea and the Territories...' Zelensky didn't argue with him...
    5
  3212. Yes, tactically both sides are just preparing for 2024, that much is now clear. Ukraine just wants to get as far as it can before the rains, and Russia just preparing Kupiansk sector for whatever they plan to do there next year. Strategically what does all this mean? Who knows. I hear rumblings about NATO secretly wanting to get out of this by negotiation, but I honestly thought that would have happened by now since the "Grand Offensive" hasn't done squat but chew up men and equipment. You can almost see the hand of US/UK in Ukraine's actions the past 60 days...all kinds of drone tech, special ops boats, ultra-precision strikes, etc.; that stuff has "NATO" written all over it. It will be a Winter of The Drone, then next Spring another round in this slugfest this time with Abrams and F-16s. We are going to get that "REFORGER '88" type battle some of us have been waiting on for 35 years.
    5
  3213. I think RU should go for Odessa before Kharkiv.
    5
  3214. LOL. The only reason AFU got through near Kursk is because RU had removed the mines and dragon's teeth as they were about to attack through there. Everywhere else the border looks like Tokmak. No more easy times for NATOkraine...."

  3216. I love what Russia just shouted to the US at the UN: "...control your terror client!"....😂😂
    5
  3217. I'm sure they already do...
    5
  3218. No one in Ukraine is really in charge; they only resist because NATO allows them to. A person will not negotiate something with you if they believe they can take it whole by force. The fundamental reason the war started and continues is the United States (primarily) believes it does not have to negotiate; that by economic and military means it can take Crimea away from Russia by force. It is the equivalent of Russia wanting to take California and the key naval base in San Francisco, denying the United States access to the Pacific forever.
    5
  3219. How would Putin winning in Ukraine put you on your knees? Please don't say "he will come here and do the same to us".
    5
  3220. This will go down as the shortest military offensive in history.
    5
  3221. He had to disable it over Crimea last year because Russia made no secret they were preparing to destroy the satellites. Had he allowed the service network to be used for a military purpose, KNOWINGLY, he could not later object when Russia considered the service and its infrastructure no different from a Leopard 2 tank and wiped them all out.
    5
  3222. Just saw report this morning that Zelensky signed a law to allow foreigners to serve as officers in the UAF He long ago signed Ukraine's resources to the West, now he's even signing away what vestigial shreds of sovereignty Ukraine had left.... Active US/UK/Polish officers have been in Ukraine for three years now so probably won't be strange for AFU to see them in HQ; but those officers had no power to order anything, only advise. Now, retired NATO officers will be able to go to Ukraine and issue actual orders to AFU soldiers because they will be AFU officers. Unbelievable times we are living in; pure desperation in full view as we witness the beginning of the End

  3228. I think its worth it. You are paying for exclusivity; you'll never see another one while you are driving.

  3234. World War One did have a similar range of multi-faceted dimensions and inter-relationships, but at its core was the desire one man---Kaiser Wilhelm. He wanted an Empire like the one Britain had, not only because it made England filthy rich, but it gave the British immense world PRESTIGE. You cannot discount the latter as a motivating factor, because Wilhelm was the grandson of UK's Queen Victoria and watching the other side of his family rule half the world made him very envious. Even this however, was not enough. The generals of both Germany and France were all veterans of the Franco-Prussian War, and both sides still burned with hostility from the end of that war. Without those key dimensions, there would have been no WW1. Today we simply do not have one leader who openly wants to build an Empire by force. Fools think Putin is that person, but that is why they are fools. There also is no "family drama" fueling any of this at the national level as neither Democracies nor Dictatorships indulge Aristocracy. No World War Three----but a lot of regional wars going on simultaneously.

  3242. Time for an Armistice. Long past time actually. Since June 5th, Ukraine has suffered 28,000 casualties, and that is coming from an array of military analysts and even the mainstream media who reported the 30% losses in Western equipment over same period. This is BEFORE the massive attacks of last week!! Even if you cut that number in HALF, that is an annualized casualty rate of over 85,000. That is almost the entire amount of soldiers Ukraine has deployed. The Telegraph had report two weeks ago that Ukraine's 48th Mountain was training 60,000 women for combat operations! A nation that is willing to throw its women, the only ones who can birth its future, into the meat grinder, is a nation that deserves to lose. This is insane. Armistice. Now.

  3243. None of those NATO troops has seen even a single day of real combat. Wagner, VDV, or Pacific Fleet Marines will go through any number of NATO soldiers like a hot knife through butter...

This is no "old NATO stuff"; production of this vehicle began in 2018 so this is top of the line equipment that the Canadian Army uses. At about $350K each, this is yet more proof of NATO's best being involved. So, that makes American Stryker and Humvee, German Marder, and now Canadian Senator confirmed to be inside Russian territory...."

    5
  3251. Ukraine as of last September, had gotten over $205B in weapons, aid and money. Russia's entire annual defense budget is $90B; so their opponent got more than they spend on their own entire military for free for two years. That's like an alien race giving the United States $1.8 TRILLION in free weapons and aid. We'd have so many F-35s you couldn't see the sun, so many warships you could walk from Pearl to San Diego and not get your feet wet, so many tanks and guns we'd have to park half underground as there wouldn't be any space to even move on land. We'd have all that....AND WE'D LOSE.

  3252. The Brits must keep extensive records to be able to re-create these massive productions across the generations. Those carriages have to be custom built as it could be years or decades before they are needed again.

I'm so envious; we could never have so many people gather without a mass shooting or three.

  3255. Well, word is Belorussia is building camps near an existing military base to hold up to 24K soldiers and Wagner is estimated to be at 25K strength. Prigozhin has said for over a year the Russian MoD have bungled this war; now with a base in Belorussia (and Lukashenko fully aware that NATO was planning to overthrow him), maybe he'll get his chance to march to Kiev and show Shoigu (and the World) how its done?

  3266. If you drive a Camry, Altima, Accord (which are fine cars), and wonder "what is the extra $15K to $20K getting me" by moving up to these Euro sedans, I can only tell you to go drive one. Any of them; C300, A4, 330i, Giulia, etc. Within 30 seconds you will feel the massive dynamic difference, the leather (if you option it) in these Euros is of much higher quality, and the tech features far more extensive. That is what you're paying for. It may not be worth it for some, but for those who like to drive, no Camry or Accord would ever get us out of these. (A TLX Type S may, I haven't driven one but that one may get me to switch).

  3269. Ukraine Army earned the name "Tik Tok Warriors" two years ago for this very same (generational) tendency to put everything they see/hear/do on the internet. Even after two years of them being punished by Russia for this habit, they STILL do it. IDF and Hamas, with their "Call of Duty" style videos of their battles are just copying what they've seen for two years in Ukraine. "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2" came out in 2009---virtually every soldier at war today played that game as a tween/teen---it is now wired into them. All of them.

  3271. In 1871, the French lost the Franco-Prussian War and lost the Alsace-Lorraine region along with it. This was bitterly humiliating for France as that region is among the most beautiful (and wealthy) regions of France. They never got over it and this was a major part of why WW1 started 40 odd years later. The French were smart; they lost the war but let the land go and didn't destroy a million of their men trying to save it. Time passed, and an opportunity to get it back presented itself and they got it back. Zelensky and his nationalists can't see the "long game"; so they are willing to doom whatever number of Ukrainian men trying to recover this land. Land can be recovered by future generations, but if you have no future generations because you spent them all??? Not smart...

  3274. I am 100% convinced that Ukraine will never in my lifetime take Crimea or the annexed areas in whole by force. I am also 100% convinced this war will end in armistice by Christmas 2023. These battle updates hardly matter anymore because the endgame has already been cast; this is just each side fighting for more favorable bargaining position during the talks in August or September.

  3282. Zelensky is only the latest example of a long, sad history of Nationalism run amok and leading to disastrous consequences. Russians, Ukrainians, Belorussians all share origins before even the Kievan Rus formed 1500 years ago. Though they've squabbled occasionally since then, at no point in history could they ever have been called "enemies". They fought the Mongols, Napoleon and the Nazis together...and won together each time. Now, only in the past 15 years out of 1500, do they allow foreigners with their own agenda to fan what was never more than a desire for recognition of their distinct identity, into Nationalistic flames that burn so hot they now want to fight their ancient cousins to the death. Zelensky is on the wrong side of history; he is only a "hero" here in the land of those who fanned the flames. In Eastern European history, he will forever be remembered as a useful idiot...a tool of those who could not care less about him or Ukraine.

  3286. Russia now must occupy the entire Ukrainian coast both in the Black Sea and along the Danube. Its the only way to be sure
    5
  3287. These look great, but the proof is in the longevity pudding and Jeep has a horrible record in this regard. The big GMs will be running smoothly 15+ years easily; here in TX I get passed every day by 2003 Tahoes that haven't lost even 10% of their capability. I sold a 2004 F-150 last year with 140K miles it purred smoothly, leather showed not a bruise; even the flip down DVD player still worked. Read up on two year old Durango's with peeling carbon fiber trim pieces. I would stay away from these for at least the next five years before considering one.
    5
  3288. NO more money. War is over; if AFU wants to keep using slings and arrows against missiles, fine.
    5
  3289. Every time I go to bed and see "Ukraine makes gains!" article in any sector, by lunchtime the next day I see an article "Russians recapture area taken by Ukraine a day ago." No wonder the front line map from April, 2022 looks identical to the one from today-----Ukraine has been treading water for over a year now.
    4
  3290. After what Hitler (then Stalin) did to them, they should give all their babies American or English names for the next thousand years. It is only because of them there is a such thing as a "Pole" today.
    4
  3291. "Weimar".....they couldn't have chosen a better name for their new mini-alliance??
    4
  3292. The whole point of defenses are to make the price of getting through them too high; so the enemy goes somewhere else, or commits a massive force (taking that massive force away from offensive operations elsewhere). That's it. So, the only way to understand who is "winning" the Battle of Robotyne is to know if the price Ukraine is paying for going forward is detrimental to their war plan, or expected and acceptable. Barring a complete rout by either side, like an encirclement of Ukraine or Russia scatters and runs to Azov, we have no idea. 10,000 troops and 200 vehicles may be the "price" AFU decided getting through this phase is worth. Maybe not. AFU has asked Zelensky for another round of mobilization so that could mean they are losing more troops than they planned or the factored that in from the beginning. We just will not know for sure until the war is over.
    4
  3293. LOL, if it is that many, the remaining living Russians will be fighting Ukrainian toddlers...
    4
  3294. So we're fighting WW3 for bread?
    4
  3295. I like how that guy told that Western reporter off. Why is an enemy reporter even allowed into the country?
    4
  3296. He uses the word "horrific" to describe protests, but not to describe what the JDAMs we give him do to civilians
    4
  3297. Fun fact. The fictional Mig-31 Firefox (from the 1982 movie of the same name), also had a rearward facing missile defense system; thought-controlled of course.. 🙂
    4
  3298.  @tula1433  I bow in respect to you. I spoil my "trad wife", and she spoils me. 🙂
    4
  3299. The daily combat reports can only be described as "collapse" of AFU. Wherever they make a stand, RU just attacks their flank and their bastion falls; AFU does not have enough men to hold a line AND its flanks at the same time. Not ammo, MEN.
    4
  3300. The Ukrainian 🇺🇦 counter-offensive is more or less over. According to White House officials Ukraine has sustained roughly 76,000 casualties since it began 3 months ago. It was nothing short of a slaughter..
    4
  3301. Holy cow!!! Hope the kid is OK. He is rich beyond imagining, no need to risk his life to live his father's dream. Become a tax attorney instead and the kid will live to be 90.
    4
  3302. "Kyiv liberates Robotyne", "Ten days to Tokmak!", "Bakhmut is in our hearts!", LOL.
    4
  3303. Maryinka fell to Russia, and Ukraine is in retreat from Avdiivka
    4
  3304. That is what I'd do. If I knew my enemy wanted some land that I currently have, I'd turn it into a fortress and then somewhere else out of sight mass a force to go right for their capital. Once they attack my defensive line, I send that force on a blitz right to Kyiv. No stopping; if you meet resistance go around, straight through at high speed directly to Kyiv. War is over.
    4
  3305. "Four abandoned villages, 5km", when the first (of six) defense lines is still 10km away. Ukraine about to be taught the same exact lesson the Wehrmacht learned precisely 80 years ago: having a better tank means little when the enemy outnumbers you, has had time to prepare, and knows you're coming. When they reach the real defenses, all those flat plains of shimmering grain give very little cover, and behind every copse will be a 100mm sniper. While artillery falls like rain, drones will dive out of the sky like angry hornets; driving those that flee right into an anti-tank mine. At night, Kamov Ka-52s hover unmolested, taking their time on thermal sights to blast anything that moves. TOS-1A thermobaric shells will suck the air out of Ukrainian lungs, before the detonation obliterates them, ending their suffering. If somehow, incredibly after all that a Ukrainian vehicle emerges unscathed, the T-90M, now being built at a rate of 100 per month, will blow it to bits. Not with 100,000 men could Ukraine do this...
    4
  3306. Send 10,000 more, send 100,000 per month, make an entire second "Chicago" with them. Keep doing it until the Democrats say "ok, we were wrong about sanctuary cities".
    4
  3307. Chicago needs to hire Wagner PMC once they are finished destroying Ukraine's army. A squad of Wagners could keep a 4 block x 4 block area 100% free of criminals. Just have to earmark a truck from the morgue to come collect their nightly toll every morning around 7am.
    4
  3308. LOL. School "boss" is what 19 years old???"
    4
  3309. I had a neighbor about 15 years ago who owned a security company. He was making a mint primarily installing and monitoring camera systems; he had no armed guard services at all. That's not enough in 2022 thanks to the GOP with no limits on guns, and the DEMs with no limits on criminals.
    4
  3310. Complicit West media won't ask real questions. "Sir, according to the NYTimes, you sent Boris Johnson to Istanbul to tell Zelensky not to sign the agreement he'd just negotiated; Johnson told him "if you sign, we will not support you any longer". Did you agree with that Mr. Stoltenberg and why?
    4
  3311. I've really been waiting for a few months for these to be reviewed as I love this powerplant in the CLA 45. The target market for SL is typically a "retired dentist" type person; I think this would meet all of such a person's needs. They may spring for the V8, but they don't HAVE to in order to get all the "SL" things they want from this type of car. Less weight on the front end makes it likely at bit more willing to turn, and in coastal areas with a lot of good weather, where many retired wealthy people live, good mpg's are not to be discounted. I think it has a market, and I LOVE this color. $110K seems about $20K too much to me; but remember a loaded out CLA 45 AMG is close to $80K and that is an "A" class, while this is an "S" class.
    4
  3312. NATO: "Stop helping Russia defeat us in 2024, for doing to them what we are going to do to you in Taiwan in 2027..."
    4
  3313. This won't end until parents start going to prison along with the kids they didn't raise. This guy didn't start out like this at age 21; he was like this long before.
    4
  3314.  @Cheese_Boi1986  they pulled back to get the Istanbul 2022 deal signed before UK f'ed them. Won't happen this time. 😂
    4
  3315. SLAVA ROSSIYA!!
    4
  3316. That crater is far too small to be from an Iskander; those make school bus sized craters. Where did the Iskanders land??
    4
  3317. Whatever it was came from Ukraine. Lots of proof countering Zelensky narrative. Just like the pipeline, the dam, the pizza cafe, the "grain" ship, etc .
    4
  3318. 30 years ago. Crying about that is like crying about not having a crystal ball to see tomorrow's stock prices.
    4
  3319. The Russian Air Force is unopposed at this point.
    4
  3320. He's a criminal. Serving his country is the greatest honor he ever had in his life. We should sweep our prisons and put them in the Ukrainian assault brigades. I'd have no problem with that...
    4
  3321. That's why NATO rushed Zelensky out of the country yesterday for a sudden "meeting" with Stoltenberg. I don't blame all the guys swimming to Romania to escape; this isn't 2022. Remember the movie "Aliens" when the Marine looked his scope with dread as the hordes massed for the final assault? "Man, this is a big fuccing signal!" That's any AFU on the eastern border..."
    4
  3322. Nope. Russians will just stay where they are, shell anyone going in/out, while Wagner slowly takes it all block by block, and house by house. They have zero reason to be in a rush.
    4
  3323. At $26K it's cost matches its content. A Mach E or Model Y cost twice as much and if you sat in either of them and then sat in a BMW X3M40i, you'd weep at the quality difference you are giving up to have an EV. At least this Mazda's price exactly matches what you'd expect to pay for a vehicle like it.
    4
  3324. So, Russia is far stronger than it was two years ago? They are dropping record numbers of bombs and missiles and Ukraine needs another $100 BILLION just fo survive. That'll be over two-hundred billion down the drain. We could buy FIFTEEN Ford class super carriers with that.
    4
  3325. Ukraine drones remind me of the fireworks I bought three weeks ago in Missouri. Actually, I think some of the ones I bought made bigger explosions...
    4
  3326. Give us an example of "damage". Not crimes (unless you believe all men are criminals), but "damage" that ALL men as a whole do to women. Just ONE example.
    4
  3327. So why NATO fighting then?
    4
  3328. Wait until May when Zaluzhnyi runs against Zelensky for President; they won't be hugging then.
    4
  3329. Zelensky now speaks as if he is no longer in charge. The rumors were true; that call last week was Trump telling Zelensky he's "fired"....
    4
  3330. Base not even in Jordan, in Syria in ISIS territory. Iran got nothing to do with ISIS
    4
  3331. bro, he's done it this way as long as I've watched and I been watching since March, 2023. That's a lotta territory changed hands in that time and he does it the same to both sides so. His methods have stood the test of time
    4
  3332. Wait....Steele? How on Earth does Christopher Steele possess any credibility???? May as well ask Snoop Dogg what he thinks of all this...
    4
  3333. There are no prepared fortifications inside Russia, no trenches, no bunkers, no dugouts. None can be constructed in 3 days while under fire. A house or basement is no defense against a 6600 lb. bomb. The very things that allowed Ukraine to move so quickly, is what now dooms them...."
    4
  3334. Probably because Vicky Nuland flew to Kyiv in a hurry Tuesday and ordered Zelensky not to fire him.
    4
  3335. Aren't all the women joining up now?
    4
  3336. Sorry, Escalade-V has this category locked up tight. Everyone else fighting for 2nd place...
    4
  3337. How can Iran commit an "act of war" when Iran didn't launch the drone?
    4
  3338. Never agreed with MTG until just now. Well said, MTG, well said!
    4
  3339. Boy the liberals on CNN and WaPo are crying today so loudly I can hear them all the way here in Hawaii 🙂
    4
  3340. How could any country think an F-16 could take off from there, go attack Russia and come back and land there and be safe from retaliatory attack?? That doesn't even make any sense at all.
    4
  3341. US 10x size of Japan; that was more about distance than relative power, but you go on ahead and keep the faith with CNN as your (sole) guide.
    4
  3342. Does Armenia have uranium? France's old supplier just raised prices by 25,000% and France is looking for a new low-cost provider...
    4
  3343. Old news now....
    4
  3344. Everyone knows the offensive has failed. In June NATO was estimating Tokmak in a month, and Melitopol two weeks later. Just look at the map today and when you stop laughing, you'll see just how absurd a failure it was. NATO is trying now to decide if F-16s and Abrams over the next six months and AFU give it another try next June will produce a different result. I say hell no but I said that 18 months ago about this whole adventure and Biden didn't listen to me then either.
    4
  3345. Yeah, yea we know. "Give me more money!!"
    4
  3346. Yes, but it is purely symbolic. Even that warmonger Blinken admits "they won't affect the outcome of this offensive, and will only allow Ukraine to establish local air superiority over Kyiv's skies". Russia is more annoyed than afraid: 24 planes the Danes were retiring next year anyway, plus 18 more that have been up for sale for years. 42 planes like so many 2012 Kias on a cheap car lot. Against 800 Su-27s, Su-30s, and Su-35s. Ummm, yeah....ok. Another "game changer" burning on the Steppe like all the others before it ..
    4
  3347. Oh, if Ukraine survives this, half her GDP will go to the United States for the next 100 years. By 2123, Ukraine will celebrate 4th of July too...
    4
  3348. UN condemnation for Ukraine coming right up....
    4
  3349. NATO is the enemy of humanity. Why can't they leave Russia alone?
    4
  3350. "...unless Kyiv regime capitulates on Russia's terms...or Ukraine will cease to exist." Direct quote yesterday from the Speaker of Russia's Lower House of Parliament (Duma). I don't see a lot of nuance there...
    4
  3351. At least the UK is getting paid ; we here in the US are paying for the 2000 lb. JDAMs IDF is using.
    4
  3352. Lockheed Electra. Company that made that plane almost 90 years ago still raking in the billions of dollars making airplanes. That's what I call "staying power".
    4
  3353. This "soldier" with his half American/Ukrainian flag is angry that we don't share his views? So. We are angry that he doesn't share ours. That's how America works. After the recent events with Germany outing UK and UK outing Germany, he should be angry with those he chose to fight for. NATO, if it ever had any honor at all, certainly has none now...
    4
  3354. Porsche's hold their value like no one's business so while yes they cost more up front, they retain more on the back end too so in many ways the "big picture" is a wash. A $50K Kia is worthless in five years and a $90K Cayenne is worth $40K in five years so is there a difference? However me personally I would buy a Cayman/Boxster or 911 and then just grab any of the pedestrian SUV's to schlep kids and groceries, etc. I would not try to get the "sports car experience" in my daily beater machine, as both uses are compromised.
    4
  3355. This is nauseating. Bell talks about "150 Ukrainians were killed..." like he's talking about a football match. These young men are dying----gone from this Earth forever, all possibilities for their futures forfeit----in pain and horror, so NATO can get its way and one day have the chance to move their missiles in Romania and Poland a bit closer to Russia by putting them in a NATO-ized Urkaine??? That's what they are giving their lives for? To help the US/UK throttle Russia? A neutral Ukraine would have given its people all the "freedom" to go to school, love who they want, etc. This is a terrible waste of human life in one of the dumbest wars I've ever seen in my life.
    4
  3356. Has there ever been a slave that lived in comfort and cleanliness in all of human history?
    4
  3357. Bidens War of Choice will leave a brutal legacy on the world for the next 50 years.
    4
  3358. You have shown that your understanding of this is below that of a toddler, but somewhat higher than that of an infant.
    4
  3359. Most of that grain went to countries fighting Russia anyway... Only about 15% went to Africa or ME.
    4
  3360. Meanwhile in Crimea and the Annexed Areas they are celebrating "Unification Day" and a BBC reporter tells some Russia ladies "but it is Ukrainian land" They reply: "We voted to be Russia. It's Russia. ONLY Russia." Ok, NATO go ahead and try to take her land by force. Good luck with that.
    4
  3361. This is a dark day for AFU. They got caught really pooping the bed...
    4
  3362. YT algorithm will not allow you to promote any vid of the annexed territories that is positive. Its on here, but you have to specifically look for it....
    4
  3363. This is essentially "Pearl Harbor" for Hezbollah....
    4
  3364. I can tell you one thing; Zelensky will never see another aid package from the United States. More GOP voted against this than for, and here in the States half the country is raging mad.
    4
  3365. I think you posted a comment on the wrong vid, bro.
    4
  3366. RU has fired at least 500 missiles and drones into Ukraine just the past four days alone. Use your brain...."
    4
  3367. The only place we've ever heard that objective is speculation. The reason is, if you think about it five minutes it would have been an utterly stupid objective in the first place, and if you look at where they are and are already locked in a slugfest, had the gone that far, diluting their forces over twice the area they'd be in full retreat by now already...."
    4
  3368. Rout not a retreat.
    4
  3369. I agree. I do not believe all the people who buy a V8 Mustang or Camaro (or CLA 35 AMG) today will suddenly NOT want that in five or six years. Governments will have to flat out make them illegal and even then, I believe the aftermarket will just fill in. People want sound and feel out of cars they drive for enjoyment. EVs are fine for getting the groceries since you only need a toaster for that---an ID.4 is fine for that.
    4
  3370. Last storm shadow attack was a week ago in Black Sea. Russia shot all of them down. That weapon is now well known to their air defense.
    4
  3371. LOL. Because Zelensky doesn't trust the French or Brits to be strong enough to save him from the Bear! Ahahahahah! 🙂
    4
  3372. This was probably the most valuable 14 minutes I've spent on YouTube in years. 15 years ago his book really opened my eyes. Since then I have watched as it all came true...
    4
  3373. Look for more of this, internally and externally. The 10-pt plan Zelensky presented in Jeddah was basically a version of the one the US presented to Japan on the USS Missouri in 1945. Zelensky is no longer rational; he thinks he has 1000 warships, 20,000 planes, and the Bomb.
    4
  3374. If RU sends all three army groups simultaneously, the collapse will take hours, not days
    4
  3375. Who here really believes Ukraine is currently "winning"? No future "if only they had this game-changer"; just right now with what they have today, who believes Ukraine has the upper hand militarily?
    4
  3376. One of the other bloggers mentioned a couple days ago something to the effect that Putin "gave the army a Christmas break" for lack of better phrase. No idea how long it will last, but they have not been really active the past five days.
    4
  3377. Voting Trump. I can't take four more years of CNN telling me Ukraine is "winning"....
    4
  3378. Shoigu put the Fear of God into the French.... I can't wait to read what was said in 2035
    4
  3379. It has to end. Its been going on for over 80 years and nothing permanent has been done. Does our citizenship mean anything or not?
    4
  3380. 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....."
    4
  3381. Not in Russia though... hahahahah!"
    4
  3382. They have the PR video production aspect down thats for sure. Learned that from Ukraine.....first army in history to issue promotional vids to tell their enemies exactly what they are doing, where and when. With expected results
    4
  3383. Historically, it makes perfect sense Germany is such a strong supporter of Zelensky government. It was Ukrainian nationalists (like Antony Blinken's grandfather, Vicky Nuland's grandfather, etc.) in the west of the country that waved as the Wehrrmacht panzers drove by in 1941. Germany just honoring the legacy of cooperation....."
    4
  3384. The best swords are wasted on Ukraine; none left to wield them...
    4
  3385. There are three enormous Army Groups massing just outside Ukraine, UK Intel says they will attack along four different axes simultaneously. We are about to see things no one has since 1945."
    4
  3386. These Ukronationalists really deeply believe they are worth the risk of half the planet being burned.
    4
  3387. 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.
    4
  3388. I'd bet all $30 in my 401K that the Biden Administration is scrambling to get Zelensky out of the country at this very moment, if they have not already done so.
    4
  3389. Thank you for your service to those soldiers who lost their lives or were injured; indeed thanks to all that are in harms way. A soldier cannot debate policy; they must follow their orders. It is up to us civilians to be the check on politicians who would abuse that power to order soldiers into battle. I am sorry we did not elect politicians worthy of these soldiers; we must strive to do better.
    4
  3390. Up until about mid-January, I didn't follow this war much----just occasionally read the headlines on NYT, WaPO, CNN etc. I thought Russia was losing and on the verge of total failure until the sudden frenzy about tanks in January made me think: "what is going on? Why all this sudden reversal if Russia is losing?". Now two days ago Washington Post contradicts Biden and demands F-16s... I realize now that Americans, while not being outright lied to, have had "inconvenient truths" intentionally kept from them. My guess is to ensure we all think Ukraine is all good and we just need to keep sending them everything they ask for and they will eventually beat Russia. I no longer believe anything about this war if it comes only from US media; I at least go to BBC, France24, DW and even India media or Al Jazeera and only then if ALL say the same thing do I believe it.
    4
  3391. Zelensky asked for this, and his people have stood by him even after 18 months of being bled white. So, in effect, Ukrainians did ask for this...
    4
  3392.  @foilhat1138  You understand Zelensky chose to make Ukraine a threat to Russia by slow-dancing with NATO, right? He could have chosen neutrality just as easily.
    4
  3393. "We wuz wobbbed!"
    4
  3394. Of course in the first clash between Ukraine and NK, NK was defeated. We gonna hear "NK are poorly-led conscripts, poorly-fed with only shovels and they are running out of missiles..."
    4
  3395. The military historian in me is fascinated by the tactical minutia of modern warfare, but tbh this is politically the stupidest modern war I've heard of; probably only the Franco-Prussian war was more stupid. This is basically a civil war---Ukrainians and Russians 20 years ago would look at you crazy if you asked them "is that your enemy?"
    4
  3396. I really do not understand how people can bring up the "reliability" canard with Hyundai-Kia products as a competitive advantage. Fires, blown engines, millions of cars recalled. Seriously? NO German engines catch fire or throw rods in 2 or 3 years of ownership. NONE. If you can afford $100K easily, you can afford $125K easily. Just get the Benz. Poor people cannot stretch to buy this at $89K and even if they could, it would not impress anyone in the Wal Mart parking lot anyway. If you want a car like this just get the real thing.
    4
  3397. Just as in 2012 during Romney's run, the chickenhawks are loud. Not very many of them in reality though...
    4
  3398. Yeah troops from 20 countries in Ukrainian army for 3 years now.
    4
  3399. What Acura are you looking at? A 10-yr old TLX and ES350 are about the same price then and now. MDX is a money-minting machine. The TLX Type-S is the best looking sport sedan on the market bar none; and will be running a decade after every Euro and Korean competitor is in the boneyard. I'll admit, Toyota had had the small edge in reliability over the past decade; Honda did struggle with transmission issues whereas any Lexus from 15 years ago was so reliable you could drive them to the Moon and back without a single problem. That is where the long term value edge to Lexus comes from; but look at Toyota the past two years----garbage engines----something no one has ever seen in a Toyota before.
    4
  3400. All that Uranium was being given away for free to France. US just completed a new nuke power plant. Cost: FIFTEEN BILLION DOLLARS. That is almost the ENTIRE annual GDP of Niger. African countries realize they have the resources for the carbon neutral future EU so desperately wants. No more taking out the minerals and ore and paying us pennies. Now the price of our resources is measured in how many Nuclear power plants you will build and run, then teach us to run, then teach us to build. THAT is the new price.
    4
  3401. ....when the 47 year old F-16 is still highly desired all over the world. LOL.
    4
  3402. ? Every couple weeks they sortie and unleash a barrage of missiles. What else can they do? Ukraine has no ships and subs to destroy
    4
  3403. Its a ghastly thought, but just imagine how many AFU are buried in basements, dugouts, bunkers, "spider-holes"; under concrete, wood, dirt, or trash, in almost three years of intense combat. Just look at the map; the "red" long ago spread over and beyond the "lines" that represented static fortification defenses (bunkers and trenches). Look at the literally millions of shell craters, just imagine how many rockets airburst at those areas, how many cluster bomblets, mines etc. before RU passed them by. Battlefield archaeologists will still be finding AFU remains in 2259...
    4
  3404. Now that much of the scale of this attack has been reported, there is NO way this could have been only for "retaliation" for the ship attack. Almost 200 missiles and drones, from air, land, and sea? The target selection and missile programming alone would have taken at least two weeks. This is the start of something much, much bigger.
    4
  3405. Do you think the West's anti Russia policy is more politics driven or military driven? About the same?
    4
  3406. What kind of person shoots a teenage girl over being cut off on the road??? I wish I could go back to 1993 America and stay there forever....
    4
  3407. You can hear the panic in US Democrat Party voices today on the aid debate.
    4
  3408. Let Cameron get UK to fund Ukraine to the bitter end. UK was instrumental in convincing Zelensky to choose War over Peace, so let both countries share the same fate of their joint decision.
    4
  3409. Lol, guy won't last 10 more quarters let alone 10 more years.
    4
  3410. Right. Because Avdiivka is "unimportant", correct? The city fortified for 10 years, with hundreds of NATO personnel, the key base for Ukrainian dominance over DPR for almost a decade, from which Donetsk City has been shelled for almost as long. THAT city is just a "headline"?
    4
  3411. True, but then it would cost $10K more and be even heavier, negating any benefit of better fuel economy. If you have the money to buy one, and a cabin cruiser to tow with it, the price of gas is meaningless to you.
    4
  3412. Just remember Lavrov gave Biden/Zelensky the final ultimatum last week. Let history record that Ukraine had one last chance to avoid what is coming
    4
  3413. "They dangle a career in front of you...." So that basically absolves the women from any accountability for their behavior? By this logic, any man in a position of power cannot legally have a relationship with a woman, because as soon as they break up, she just says "he dangled a career in front of me" and off to prison he goes. Absurd.
    4
  3414. You are a liar; the bridge has been overwhelmingly civilian for a year now. There is a highway running the entire length of the annexed territories and that is where most military traffic use is.
    4
  3415. ?? Russia is vastly stronger today than they were two years ago. Your comment makes no sense
    4
  3416. Poles in 1612. Swedes in 1708. French in 1812. Germans in 1941. Now, the AmeriBrits in 2024 (whose proxy army contains Poles, Swedes, French, and Germans). Is anyone paying attention? This has nothing to really do with Putin. Is there a reason Europeans keep trying to invade Russia???"
    4
  3417. I dont see how ANY American movies would pass any "morals" test
    4
  3418. From the country that provides the JDAMs to Israel?? LMAO!!!
    4
  3419. So collapse of AFU in December now instead of September?
    4
  3420. Russia must pay every one of the 50 countries back after the war
    4
  3421. Hmmm, Brit Challenger, American MaxxPro and Stryker, German Marder, Canadian Senator....did I miss any? Long past time to stop saying "AFU" and say "AFN" ---- "Armed Forces of NATOkraine."
    4
  3422. Mines. $60B of weapons and training held in place by the simplest of weapons. Meanwhile at Kupiansk, the latest Su-34M now has the sky to itself as a month of Lancet drones have worn away the meager air defense in the sector, and Ukraine has nothing that could rise to challenge it and live to tell the tale. Its FAB-500 GLONASS-guided bombs now clearly visible as they fall away, and SIXTY kilometers away, detonations that leave 20 foot wide craters annihilate the Ukrainians struggling to hold back 100,000 Russians. A cheap aerial bomb, guided by simple fins and a satellite link, turns millions of dollars of NATO equipment to dust and there is absolutely nothing Ukraine can do about it. The mines holding them back is the reason what is left of the Ukrainian NATO army still even exists...
    4
  3423. Massive AFU infantry attack on Novopropivka today....utterly beaten back by entrenched Russians. Russia no longer using Ka-52 very much in Zaporizhzhia as there are no targets worth it. Ukraine uses few armored vehicles during attacks because they always get destroyed, FPV drones and artillery are enough to deal with the offensive now. No need to use an attack helicopter 😂😂
    4
  3424. "Now, if these men do not die well, it will be a black matter for the king that led them to it; whom to disobey were against all proportion of subjection.”
    4
  3425. LOL. News in India, Asia, all say "hundreds"; all Western news say "thousands"....😂 Our media simply cannot ever, for any reason, at any time, just tell us the truth.
    4
  3426. ??? First?? Ukraine has received 7 Patriots in past year, five were destroyed before these two.
    4
  3427. So strange how what we eat is almost purely a function of what we were fed as children; what we were told is "normal". This looked no different to me than processing chicken or fish and the final product looked like pork to my eyes. I've eaten rabbit (and here in the US you can find rabbit meat / sausage in a grocery store). If you'll eat a rabbit, you'll eat a rat. In the West the rats are nourished by garbage which makes them mentally unappealing as food. There, where they just eat rice and live in a clean natural environment, I think any American living in that town for a month would eventually start eating rat just as if it were chicken.
    4
  3428. Especially with Russia having 24/7 overwatch on every base they can fly from
    4
  3429. LOL. They only have had like two of the highest performing US drones to study in detail for the past four years...
    4
  3430. If you have to ask....LOL. What you think, RU gonna stay asleep all the rest of the year?? Easy time is over. Lancet took out a Challenger 2 already; and AFU's "bulge" has barely increased in size the past three days. The Bear is up and awake now-----time to slap some salmon..."
    4
  3431. When Austin visited Kyiv on November 20th, 2023, the numbers that Zelensky and Zaluzhnyi gave him for "what is needed to return borders to 1991 level" were so large even Austin was surprised. They'll never admit it of course, but I believe when the House and Congress defense committee's saw that they were like "oh hell naw, time for plan B"
    4
  3432. All wars are like that. In 1942, US Navy report: 50 Zeros shot down, 2 Wildcats lost. IJN Report: 50 Wildcats shot down, 2 Zeros lost. 🙂
    4
  3433. New Russian long-range stealth drone I bet.
    4
  3434. EU poked the Bear and now the Bear is pissed and slapping salmon left and right 😂
    4
  3435. Looks like an apartment building
    4
  3436. I heard on another channel that Zelensky wants US to give him old battleships that he can beach near Odessa and shell the Russians from there with gigantic 406mm shells.
    4
  3437. I agree with everything on here and generally to avoid a turbo if possible. However, I'd put the GM 3.6l V6 on this list. Yeah, I heard about timing chain stretch from 2008 - 2012 but that is well over a decade ago (and in many cases it was too little oil in the engine that caused it). The GM 3.6 is everywhere, in everything and it is cheap to run on regular gas, parts easy to find, and using cheap Wal Mart synthetic oil with a 5K interval you can easily get 200K miles out of it.
    4
  3438. Russia started offensives all along the front today. I hope this is the "steamroller" phase; just as in 1943, endure the enemy attack while the factories in Siberia run night and day. Then, when the enemy attack weakens, go on the offensive and don't stop the steamroller unitl you are in Berlin. For 2023, Kyiv will suffice.
    4
  3439. "Prestige"? Who drives around with their chest puffed out in a Kia?
    4
  3440. Russia doing what they did in 1943. Hold; bend but don't break. Meanwhile the factories 1000 miles away in Siberia run night and day. Then one day: this.
    4
  3441. Good. It had no business being there; Russians should have shot it from the sky and said "yeah, we blew it away".
    4
  3442. Couldn't care less about a CUV but I hope they sell 200K of them to fund the next gen Giulia and hopefully a new GTV and 5-Series competitor! Love my Giulia!
    4
  3443. awww, did we ruin your safe space?
    4
  3444. Hmmm as a man avoiding being sent to the trenches of Ukraine for people who aren't even American is a bit more important....
    4
  3445. SK sent 500,000 shells to Ukraine in 2023.... Didn't help much
    4
  3446. Two years in and you still ask this question???
    4
  3447. LOL. 1300 tanks and armored vehicles in Army Group North, a small detachment of which is now surging towards Kharkiv. The bulk of the remainder is near Sumy and hasn't even moved yet. $400M will delay them by a few hours...
    4
  3448. Poland has been in Ukraine fighting Russia for 18 months. Wagner has killed many of them. Remember the bodies Wagner found on the outskirts of Bakhmut in December? They were Polish mercs that had their hands and heads removed after they were killed so Russia could not confirm who they were. Go look it up; all well documented. Whatever fate awaits Poland in this war, it is a fate they have earned.
    4
  3449. Only legit concern is dealerships are few and far between. The engines are the same as in all 4-cyl Jeeps and the transmissions are ZF. I have 2017 Ti , 50K miles never a problem. They are worth it if you love to drive, but if all you need is a toaster don't bother. However if I lived an hour away from a dealership I would not buy one.
    4
  3450. Macron knows the time of the US spoon-feeding NATO is over, and he wants France to take its place as the "prime mover" in Europe when it comes to the arms industry. Honestly, it makes sense----UK can't do it as they are only good at ships while Germany is only good at tanks and land-based systems. France makes good planes, good ships, good subs, good artillery, and good tanks. Only problem is picking a fight with the Bear may get France put back to the Stone Age....
    4
  3451. Oh just like the Ukrainians did last week in Belgorod? Make it rain steel Russia, make it rain...
    4
  3452. "...called Putin's bluff..." my azz. Putin hasn't moved after NATO escalated with allowing their tanks on Russian soil; we still don't know if he will raise or fold. If history is any judge; he aint gonna fold ....."
    4
  3453. LOL. I can recall, oh say maybe 100 vids that show you are liar. I've seen RU guys run out of tanks that ran over a mine, and just last week a T-90M ate a Javelin and all it did was throw some sparks into the crew compartment that they brushed out by hand.
    4
  3454. So, our choice is "sick f---" , or Global Thermonuclear War. Give me the sick guy...
    4
  3455. LOL. Israel??? The one that gets monthly shipments of free JDAMs from the United States all of 2024 so far??? "
    4
  3456. FINALLY heard about Budanov today after two weeks of silence. The Kinzhal didn't kill him after all; he is critically wounded and was evacuated to Germany for medical treatment----he may not survive but for now he is alive. That was the strike two weeks ago where the Kyiv Patriot battery fired all 32 of its $4M missiles trying to stop the Kinzhal....and failed.
    4
  3457. He's right. An M777 costs about $4M in today's money. Ouch!!
    4
  3458. "You lost a lotta credibility..." Ahahahahha! I mean that was a really kind of dumb loaded question: "is Putin disrespecting you by attacking Ukraine?" WTF? Putin has attacked Ukraine every day for almost three years...how could attacking them be directly related to Trump?? Nice put down Mr. President.
    4
  3459. F-16s would not have done a ** thing to change this outcome. Even if they somehow fought the Su-30s to a draw, that would just mean Russia loses 50 Su-30s and AFU loses its entire air force.
    4
  3460. Dum-dum award of the day. The percentage of gas homes that have exploded over the past 115 years in the US is about 0.00000000001% You have a higher chance of being bitten by a shark while in a swimming pool...."
    4
  3461. Milley and the US blame Kiev for their failed offensive.
    4
  3462. Does anyone still doubt NATO started this war and had an ulterior motive the entire time it was sweet-talkimg Ukraine even before Zelensky showed up?
    4
  3463. Exactly what they were planning to do in Ukraine if Russia just rolled over and accepted it. Patriot can be easily erased by Iskander or Kinzhal at any time.
    4
  3464. Avdiivka, Ukraine about to become Avdiivka, Russia. Remember this when you mail your letters
    4
  3465. Even as an American I can't help but have some modicum of respect for these people. It doesn't matter what I think of their culture, nor does it matter what they think of mine. Both they and I are free; free to do as we wish without interference by the other. They simply refuse to be the slaves of the United States. I like that.
    4
  3466. Who told you that? Zelensky?
    4
  3467. Russia did an organized retreat to a new defense line further south two days ago as it became clear Ukraine was committing a large number of troops to this push. That is all.
    4
  3468. By Friday it'll be 50,000 North Korean troops in Russia... No problem all the foreigners in Ukraine.
    4
  3469. No surprise; to them its "holy war". What does surprise me is all the black soldiers' faces I've seen the past week as the IDF masses its troops. At first I thought some were just very tanned Israelis but the past few days there is no doubt a fair number of black men are serving in the IDF. When did that happen??
    4
  3470. Why? You think they want to be slaves to America and Britain???"
    4
  3471.  @henrikstephenson2246  They won a battle , neither defeated Russia, bro!!
    4
  3472. That "armored vehicle" is basically the equivalent of a Humvee without armor upgrade; it can't even stop 7.62 AP ammo so I'm sure it never gets very close to the combat line. If China were going to "unofficially" send some vehicles to Russia, they'd hardly choose such a mundane type. RU army uses a lot of ad hoc stuff like motorcycles/ATVs; I bet someone just bought one of these Chinese vehicles and donated it, or Wagner captured it in Mali and flew it back, or some other such "creative" way it got there...
    4
  3473. "...most of them have lost their positions, and withdrawn to the garbage of history..." -- The fact English is not your native tongue is one of the primary reasons I look forward to your summary reports! 😆
    4
  3474. When the 2A was ratified on December, 17, 1791, the Unites States had a population of about 4 million, 600K of whom were slaves. To the East, a hostile Superpower that could invade by sea at any time. To the West, a frontier on 1500 miles of hostile territory. This country was weak and vulnerable on all fronts. What is the excuse in 2023?
    4
  3475. Defeat does not mean "annihilate". Unless a unit is overrun or surrounded, it's defeat always means there are remnants to retreat
    4
  3476. Should send them by train. 1000 per day into Chicago....10,000 per day.....until the "sanctuary city" stuff goes away.
    4
  3477. This guy is here, then there, then everywhere. He occupies more "territory" in the minds of Ukraine and its NATO masters, than all of Crimea and the annexed territories. Prigozhin is the "Ghost of Kiev"; the real one.
    4
  3478. So?
    4
  3479. AFU has never been very smart in this war, look at Bakhmut, Robotyne, and Krinky.
    4
  3480. American weapons
    4
  3481. Ukraine is still "probing" for weaknesses. At this rate they'll take back Crimea and the annexed areas in 2063 at a cost of 3,000,000 causalties.
    4
  3482. I really appreciate the "blue" area showing how much "annexed territory" is left for Russia to take. This information is really hard to find in most Western media as they don't want to show that Russia really does not have much left to conquer to take the annexed regions.
    4
  3483. It means very little. They called HIMARS a "game changer" too a year ago. ATACMS is fired from the HIMARS launcher, so the launcher Russia has been hunting and destroying for almost a year now is still the weak point. Just last week the latest version of Lancet attack drone hit a Ukrainian Mig-29 almost 80 km from the front line; its max range was previously 40 km and is now unknown. To reach further ATACMS must be in the sky longer giving AA defense more time to shoot it down. Next year this time we'll be debating the next "game changer"
    4
  3484. The tide has turned; NATO members are bickering over who to blame and some admit Ukraine wasn't ready and was pushed to have a "spring offensive" which has failed miserably. Now, the Russian steamroller begins.
    4
  3485. Someone in upstairs bedroom fell asleep while smoking a cigarette??
    4
  3486. Always remember, for every Telegraph vid showing something positive for Ukraine, there are 50 that Telegraph didn't show because they were positive for Russia. Battles are often won by one side doing something unexpected, but wars are won by logistics and manpower.
    4
  3487. Six months Prigozhin has said "red" and done "blue" and the Western Media breathlessly takes everything he says at face value. I don't know what is in his mind, but I know DAYUM well Wagner 'aint leaving Bakhmut until it is completely taken and THEY get the credit for it. THAT I know.
    4
  3488. LOL. they eating by candlelight....
    4
  3489.  @naveenthemachine  Why? Because you say so? Point me to an objective reason. You can't.
    4
  3490. RU captured a unit banner of the 82nd brigade (named for the US 82nd Airborne)....very, very humiliating for Ukraine...."
    4
  3491. Well, the "Grand Offensive" is rumored to be ready at any moment so artillery bombardment is typically the precursor to offensive movement. Ukraine is shelling everywhere to mask the true axis of advance.
    4
  3492. This is like the trial of a Mafia Boss...
    4
  3493. So this is what Biden gave his attack dog so it won't bite the neighbor again? Sanctions on Iran and his "blessing" for Rafah??
    4
  3494. Dam! Seems like our Latino brothers have the market cornered on sexual assault.
    4
  3495. Since about Oct. 10th, when the offensive on Avdiivka began, the Russians have behaved as if it is Ukraine that is on their land and not the other way around. Which, of course, is true (from their perspective).
    4
  3496. Su-35 is 20 years newer design and pilots have years of experience in the type. A Ukrainian with a few months training in an F-16 or Gripen will be like Japanese pilots at the Battle of the Leyte Gulf. Russians will call it the "Great Turkey Shoot of 2024"
    4
  3497. Talk (if Russia will even listen now).
    4
  3498. Right. Ukraine should have the "freedom" to join the EU, then join NATO. Then the United States takes the "Aegis Ashore" missiles it currently has in Poland, and moves them 400 miles closer to Russia by putting them into this new "free" Ukraine?? By that logic, Cuba should be "free" to accept Russian nuclear missiles, correct?? How'd that work out...
    4
  3499. Medveyev visited the front yesterday and said 325,000 new signed contracta with Russian army this year through 9/26. Two weeks ago Putin announced new draft of 145,000 by this time next year. 470,000 new soldiers by September, 2024. Dam....
    4
  3500. North Korean KN-25 heavy MLRS, largest tactical rockets in world by diameter, confirmed headed to Russia for the winter offensive.
    4
  3501. Zelensky signed a "Security Agreement" with the UK. The UK, who hasn't met their annual Army recruiting goals since 2010. 🤣🤣🤣
    4
  3502. Is there a difference?
    4
  3503. LOL. there was no Spring Break in Miami Beach this year; just a week like any other full of old people, but this time all the bars and restaurants were empty.
    4
  3504. NATO already losing one proxy war....they dont want to risk losing another....
    4
  3505. If AFU, notorious for bloviating about shooting down 200 of 30 missiles, says this; you know the truth is ten times worse....
    4
  3506. What if its both sides' "homeland"?
    4
  3507. Ya whatever.... Budanov get off the computer....
    4
  3508. A three year old ATS-V manual costs the same as the base price of this!!!! May as well just buy the new one!
    4
  3509.  @ftr911drvr  They are the SAME car idiot; too dumb to afford a 911 I'm sure...
    4
  3510. Airborne drones represent the only offensive power they have left.
    4
  3511. Two comments made, two insta-deletions. I'm done.... enjoy the echo chamber....😂
    4
  3512. 48 drones hit Odessa last night. Can we see that video SKY?
    4
  3513. Wow...Chasiv Yar... About a year ago Russia was in retreat near there and poof , here we are with the roles reversed.
    4
  3514. A land of teenage boys and grandpas.....gonna be a LOT of women "on the market" for the next 20 years...."
    4
  3515. NATO woke the Bear and now he is angry
    4
  3516. In December, Ukraine said Russia has "7 drones to every 1 we have", so I can see why they want to increase production. With China, Iran, and NK now openly fueling Russia's vast manufacturing capacity, who here believes Ukraine can make a dent in that differential in 2024?
    4
  3517. Something that seems to not have occurred to anyone: Imagine what it means if Zelensky was serious-----if he actually believes this.
    4
  3518. I see many kids, teens, old ladies etc.also being hit by these and can't help but think: "Israel got 10 of it's enemies, but created 10,000 new ones in doing so..."
    4
  3519. "We haven't forgotten you". Now, here sign this Armistice Agreement while you still can....
    4
  3520. US (again) only one to vote against immediate ceasefire in Gaza at the U.N. Biden Admin. has no problem with smart bombs falling as long as they fall where they want them to.
    4
  3521. It was Ukraine and the US who stirred them up with false online rumours. Pretty good PsyOp I must say...
    4
  3522. Wow, look at them when they were young and beautiful.... Time is cruel; the years take their toll and rob us of our youth, our vitality, and our beauty; the wisdom we get in return is of little value.
    4
  3523. Imagine China/Russia/Iran/NK came up with a "rules based order", with them at the top, and said if you don't play by our rules, you are a "pariah" nation. NATO has every right to enforce its rules among its members, but the only "right" they have to do so for countries not a part of their club is that of might. I don't wish to live as a North Korean or Russian, etc. but I respect their right to live their own way. Don't impose your will on me via tyranny, and I won't impose mine upon you via tyranny. NATO doesn't seem to understand that...
    4
  3524. If this came out in 2018, Tesla would have gone bankrupt a year later. Buying a Model 3 or Y with garbage quality for more money over this is insane.
    4
  3525. I voted Biden but I totally disagree with him on Ukraine. War should never have started.
    4
  3526. This is the US' greatest foreign policy disaster of my lifetime
    4
  3527. Yes, ISW = Ukraine MoD. I'm not saying its 100% lies; but anything on ISW lean extremely heavy to the Ukraine side; you can't just read what's there and think its truth.
    4
  3528. Just two months ago we sent $3.9B to pay their salaries and fund their pension contributions Does the Democrat Party even include any provisions in these packages for the United States to be paid back somehow?? Not for the dam corporations; for actual individual citizens?? Free grain for 100 years? Tax-free real estate for US citizens? Anything?
    4
  3529. Su-57 has entered the chat ...
    4
  3530. NATO puts Ukraine's men "in front". What is the difference?
    4
  3531. Yes, but those are crappy built Teslas or vinyl filled Kias. Some of us prioritize quality over range.
    4
  3532. If WOMEN stand up and say "No!" this will all go away very quickly. If you don't want a sausage swinging next to you when you go potty, SPEAK UP!
    4
  3533. At this point, the term "Western" is essentially a pejorative...
    4
  3534. "...fit of rage..." Yeah, he hired a lawyer before his admission.
    4
  3535. This lying MF'er still pushing his bullisht. "Russia is expected to grow 3.2% in 2024, the IMF said in its latest World Economic Outlook published Tuesday, exceeding the forecast growth rates for the world's advanced economies, including the U.S.Apr 17, 2024"
    4
  3536. Just Zelensky typical lies borne of desperation. Russia smashing on all fronts….what 3000 men gonna do? Not even logical, so what they are in Russia. They are allies who train together, just like UK trained the AFU marines that went to Krinky and never returned…..
    4
  3537. An attack on a nuclear power plant is functionally identical to an attempt at a "dirty bomb" strike. Russia now has the right to respond in kind....
    4
  3538. Nobody believes AFU, too many lies
    4
  3539. Men these days are just losing all their marbles when it comes to women.
    4
  3540. Wat dafuk??? On June 6th, 1944 you could count the number of Luftwaffe planes over Omaha beach on one hand. 60% of the Luftwaffe was fighting-----guess who----Russia.
    4
  3541. ...and when Russia destroys it all, what then?
    4
  3542. I am starting to rely on these quick summaries more often. You are doing a good job.
    4
  3543. I didn't think NATO would sit by and watch Russia take everything; so the "security agreements" seem logical.
    4
  3544. If true, Ukraine made him a hero while the reality on the ground hasn't changed one bit, nor will the outcome. In a few years Russia will put his likeness on a war memorial that faces West and "he" will gaze upon his defeated foes for the next thousand years. A fitting end for any lifelong soldier.
    4
  3545. BS. Ukraine could have had all the "freedom" it wanted without joining EU(and later NATO). Be Neutral like Sweden and you can have all the gay sex you want. But no, Zelensky wanted NATO (a MILITARY alliance) which set Russia off.
    4
  3546. Canada "warns"??? Lol how many warships Canada has? 3 or 4?
    4
  3547. In "two YEARS"?? Bro, this war is OVER now! LOL.
    4
  3548. It's the truth; why does it "tire" you???
    4
  3549. Typical NATO. When you beat them using their own rules, they change their rules...."
    4
  3550. Casualties for both together at 500K I can believe that. That does not sound absurd and matches up with what I've heard from US military affiliated (not Western news media). Is one side 200K the other 300K? 250/250? Who knows, but my guess is whatever the breakdown it is close to the same----both sides are generally evenly matched on the ground, and casualties among air force / navy (Ukraine dont' even have a navy) are a tiny percentage of that of the ground forces.
    4
  3551. France only have 45 of these themselves, but every one they build (at $5M each) goes to Ukraine for the past couple of years...."
    4
  3552. OMG.... I figured that once RU could respond enough to "fix" the Ukrainians in place, no matter how large a salient they created, then RU air power could come in and it would be ggwp for AFU. There are no prepared defenses inside Russia; you can't build a bunker or dugout in one day....AFU would be defenseless..."

  3553. I do appreciate your trying your best to analyze two conflicting stories, neither more "believable" than the other, and use your experience and the facts you DO know to come up with a most likely "truth" of the situation. That really enhances your credibility and is why this channel is one of only three I watch to get the "real story". Keep up the good work my friend.
    4
  3554. awww, did we ruin your "safe space"?
    4
  3555. Which only confirms the initial report that RU found where they are hiding them based on that promo vid Ukraine themselves made a couple weeks ago ; AFU been its own worst enemy the entire war. They just not very smart at all....."

  3556. If negotiation can result in 2 being released, then all 200 can be released via the same mechanism. If Hamas wanted to die in fire along with their captives, NONE would have been released. So, just like two years ago before the Ukraine war, it comes down to a choice: negotiate with someone you don't like, or go to war?
    4
  3557. I'm putting it out there: Biden not going to give JASSM missile or any approval for longer range attack with ATACMS. Biden cannot start a war without Congress approval, and if Russia says this is an "Act of War", Biden has to go before Congress to justify why US should take the risk of starting a war. He ain't gonna do that two months before election. He will say "NO", or he'll give the satellite target data to UK and only the Storm Shadow can be used.

  3558. The attached hospital contained Genesis chambers for the Ukrainian Clone Army of the Republic that was being created there...

  3559. Ukraine got three Patriot systems. They now have only one left

  3560. I'm starting to really like Iran.

  3561. Russia becomes Europe's biggest economy report "Aug 4, 2023 · Russia was among the world's five largest economies and the largest in Europe in terms of purchasing power parity (PPP) as of the end of 2022, despite Western sanctions, the latest World Economics report has revealed.." Now THAT is a news story. NATO sanctions Russia to the greatest degree it can, and 18 months later Russia's economy is bigger than that of Germany or France.

  3562. Typhoon came out 1994, bro. J-10 better beat a 30 year old plane.
    4
  3563. She didn't tell anyone she was going into the hospital?? No loved one or friend who would then know she was overdue or hadn't been heard from and would go looking for her there in a matter of hours or days ??? Who goes into hospital for serious potential issue and doesn't tell a soul?? I don't know the whole story but if you pass away and that "secondary contact" is not filled out or is wrong or the person doesn't answer, you will end up right where this lady did...."

  3564. This makes me very happy as my first car was a 1984 Supra, which as any JDM-head knows, was based on the Celica at that time. When Acura brought back the Integra I was happy and considered it, but the limitation to a 4-door (and its rather unattractive rear proportions) had me pass on it. A Celica coupe that is a real 2+2 and with a manual transmission option would get my money.
    4
  3565. Ukraine took 70,000 casualties around Robotyne for four months and no success. Russia will take Avdiivka, they may take 10,000 casualties doing so but that is worth it.
    4
  3566. What "huge" losses??? Men? Russia has lost about the same as Ukraine and they have five times the population? Tanks? Are you serious? Russia builds 100 tanks month and has 10,000 T54/55s just sitting waiting for something to shoot. Planes? Please. Ships? Omg one ship in two years. Where are these huge losses you speak of?
    4
  3567. Vindman was only 9 when Reagan spoke those words, so the fact he clearly has no context under which they were spoken is not surprising. Equating the US vis-a-vis the USSR in the 1980s to what the US has been doing in Ukraine since 2014 vis-a-vis Russia, is like comparing apples to artillery shells.
    4
  3568. AFU got 12 weeks "training" on Abrams, when US Army gets 34 weeks. Everyone Zelensky sends into battle in the Abrams will die.
    4
  3569. Why those vids yesterday of two Leopard 2s hit by Lancet the tanks were abandoned? Were they hit by something else first? They looked perfectly intact
    4
  3570. Saw a Model X at a red light a week ago; door handle about an inch higher than the one in front, panels all disjointed, paint looked terrible. How Elon got people to pay $125K for that utter trash I'll never know. The BMW iX is a tech tour de force, but like all German cars it is needlessly complicated (an entire body of carbon fiber??). The Lyriq costs less than a Model Y which is like a Mig 29 being more expensive than an F22. GM is about to slay all comers....again.
    4
  3571. Virtually no American has any hostile enmity for Ukraine's people; most Americans could not find Ukraine on a map before 2022. I honestly wish this stupid war had never started, but I also despise what the US and UK are trying to do to Russia and any country even remotely friendly to Russia. I fukin' hate bullies...even when they come from my own home.
    4
  3572. Blinken publicly makes a show of saying Iran sold missiles to Russia, and 3 days later a big depot explodes? Yeah…we know it’s US or UK….
    4
  3573. Zelensky won't instruct DW to tell you this: Most Kupiansk residents have NOT left the city even after the mandatory evacuation order two weeks ago. Why? They are waiting for Russia to "liberate" them. 😂
    4
  3574. No. Because for every one fired, Russia would send back 10 Kinzhals, Iskanders, Oniks, and Zircons. Look at Kyiv and then look at Gaza. Russia is taking it easy...
    4
  3575. How many cities has AFU taken this year?
    4
  3576. Hilarious. I was just thinking the same to myself yesterday watching this Kursk foolishness. Trying to be "a little bit at war" is like trying to be "a little bit pregnant"...."
    4
  3577. Another massive Russian breakthrough today. 29 visually confirmed German Leopard 2's destroyed so far. As of April 23, the number pledged was 85. Assuming all were delivered, that is 30% loss rate (likely higher as many of the damaged ones have to be sent to Germany to be repaired). Ukraine simply does not have the men or the equipment to hold back the Russian offensive advances.
    4
  3578. What would that be?
    4
  3579. Saw RU flag flying over Niu York now....I guess no AFU will be around to stop that since all of them are up north trying to recreate the "Battle of the Bulge"???"
    4
  3580. I anxiously await the day I never hear the name "Volodymyr Zelensky" ever again....
    4
  3581. Mental illness?
    4
  3582. Wrong: 2nd Battle of the Bulge.
    4
  3583. 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.
    4
  3584. China's peace plan is looking better and better every day. THEY (not NATO), step in and provide Ukraine the Security it requires from Russian invasion, Russia no longer has to react to NATO putting missiles on its doorstep. War is over. Everyone is happy (and alive).
    4
  3585. Most under age 30; their knowledge of history only goes back to about 1993
    4
  3586. We are at the point NATO simply cannot go any further without themselves entering the war. Biden said "NO" on the missiles for the same reason Scholz has said no for months; the programming can only be done by trained German/US/UK troops using satellite data and software only the US has. Ukraine would literally be reduced to just pushing the button to launch; and no one could disagree that is where "ally" becomes "participant". Germany is out, UK seems to want to risk it, but Joe Biden cannot risk that two months before an election...
    4
  3587. As long as he doesn't take road trips to factories to try to observe what is going/coming to gauge military production levels like that WSJ guy, he won't get arrested and thrown in prison to be a Chechen's girlfriend.
    4
  3588. Germany at least had an objective: Antwerp.
    4
  3589. Battle of the Bulge using the $60B American money. I’ve been wondering for weeks where all that money went because of AFU inability to resist in the south. I just assumed most of it was stolen. Same result as last Battle of the Bulge: nazi defeat….”
    4
  3590. You can never in a thousand years prevent the bad stuff getting on there; best idea is to make Social Media itself age-restricted like R-rated movies, cigarettes, beer, etc. Add a clause to be able to charge the parents too.

  3591. They learned from AFU: "130 of 97 Russian drones were shot down"
    4
  3592. Lol, imho it "fell" a week ago. If all you are doing is sitting in a basement while a million shells land above you, you ain't "defending" anything....

  3593. First the dam cars, now even the bikes are deadly dangerous and have to be parked outside at all times??
    4
  3594. Yesterday was Peak Putin. Relaxed, skillful and comprehensive in his answers, even humorous at times. He moved and spoke like a man who knows he was won. The contrast to Biden's appearance the night before could not be more stark; Biden, enfeebled, can't even look at the camera as he struggles to read his script cards, barely capable of a 30-minute public session while Putin dances on-air for over four hours.

  3597. If you avoided voting GOP because you believed that where most US "racism" lived, I hope the past 12 years has taught you there is just as much "racism" on the DEM side, so you may as well just vote for the policy you agree with.

  3598. South America, Africa, East Asia all sitting back drinking booze and eating popcorn; each mapping out strategies and options for what parts of the northern hemisphere will be left after America, Europe, and Russia wipe themselves out...."

  3600. Not enough to stop sending those 2000 lb. JDAMs that can delete entire city blocks at once, eh?
    4
  3601. Audi with EA888 Gen2 or later is fine; that is a good motor and any mechanic can fix it. Audi problem is not quality like Ford / Hyundai....its high maintenance overhead (that people don't do). Change that DSG fluid at 40K-45K miles, use top quality oil and change it every 5K miles, use premium fuel or get the carbon buildup cleaned every 60K or so. Do all that and it'll run 200K miles. Stay away from 6/8 cyl Audis---those are lease-only.
    4
  3602. Shoigu wanted to retire two years ago, but the SMO prevented that. He's good to go relax now; the Steamroller he built is doing what it it was designed to do
    4
  3603. No amount of training can prepare soldiers for the real thing; if this is true it benefits both NK and Russia. SK says they are "1500 special forces", of course you have to be willing to believe SK. Imagine getting 1500 Green Berets; they already know how to shoot, drive vehicles, use a wide array of arms, but they have zero experience (especially their officers). Russia gets additional, already-trained manpower, while North Korea gains real combat experience for its elite forces. Something they can get nowhere else, and the experience for their junior officers and NCOs which are the backbone of any army, will be invaluable to NK.

    4
  3606. Totally agree. I chose the Giulia in 2017 and don't regret it but the 3-Series was a close second. The biggest problem with BMW is you can't keep them very long. After 5 or 6 years the wear out items fail and the cost is astronomical relative to the value of the car at that time.
    4
  3607. Funny how you never mentioned Asia or Africa. Nahh, no Nazis in Ukraine....none at all...😂😂
    4
  3608. Ukraine has taken 80,000 casualties in the first three months of 2024. No breakdown of KIA/wounded but using the "1/3" ratio typical of ground combat that means at least 25,000 KIA and 50,000 or so wounded.
    4
  3609. Just like in the last months of WW2, German officers and politicians ran off with art, jewelry, rare artifacts, everything but the kitchen sink.
    4
  3610. The RAV4 Prime and this is really all the car 80% of humanity needs (most don't even need the luxury of the Lexus but some of us like to have really nice things). They'll last for 20 years and you wont even have to think about it; they just run.
    4
  3611. GOP knew they had the leverage. They better hurry as the reason the US flew Zelensky back so soon 3 days ago is that they knew a big missile attack was incoming. Today, three Kinzhals took out the Patriot battery near Zhytomyr, only 80 miles from Kyiv. Zelensky still has not yet returned to Ukraine as it is too dangerous. After Argentina, he went to Norway (unscheduled) and just arrived a few hours ago in Germany (unscheduled). He can't go back to his own Capital until the Russians allow him to.
    4
  3612. Russia didn't announce this, nor did North Korea. If true, so what? Just the same as what NATO has been doing in Ukraine all along---wasn't the Patriot missile that shot down the POW plane fired by a Brit??
    4
  3613. Was in my dealer getting my A4 worked on and went to the showroom to drool over a blue RS6. $161,000....four times the cost of my car.... I've never actually seen an RS6 in the wild, while I've seen at least 20 Taycans. People have the money, but this car only appeals to a very tiny percentage of people
    4
  3614. They have a house, a BMW, and multiple pets and they didn't leave a month ago when 90% of the city left.... Can someone explain that to me?
    4
  3615. BMW looks, especially the front, just....just....are NOT attractive. This one at least I wouldn't barf looking at every morning like the "pig nose" , but Benz and Audi are just uniformly beautiful up front. I will say though the interior space and cargo utility blows the M235i Gran Coupe out the water and +100 to BMW for the excellent quad tips. I would strongly consider this for wifey as we are coming out of a 2017 Alfa Giulia soon and while she loves the Alfa handling, she wants something easier to get into/out of.
    4
  3616. I have a relative who has been saying "this is the End" for over 40 years. I'm starting to believe her...
    4
  3617. No mention of all the French mercs rushing to Kharkiv???
    4
  3618. Was hoping Iran would hold back, even though they are justified. The drones are just "clutter" for the ballistic missiles to get through...
    4
  3619. Ukraine is probably one of the most sad-sack countries we've seen in Europe in at least 100 years. Just think about these facts: 1. "Winter wheat accounts for about 97 percent of Ukraine’s total wheat production. It is planted from early September to mid-November and harvested between July and September. Production is concentrated in the southeastern region (which Russia owns 80% of) ..." 2. Due to #1, US has been paying all the public sector salaries and pensions of Ukraine during this war---police, military, fire, politicians and their pensions. None of these facts are in dispute; you can find any number of articles where Biden tries to justify us paying these costs. Now ask yourself. How could Ukraine have ANY agency at all in this war? Russia has one of their family jewels it its grasp, and the United States the other. Two giant bullies, each with one of Ukraine's balls, locked in battle for 80+ years and little Ukraine is the "playground at 3pm". Citizens of Burundi would have better future prospects at this time...
    4
  3620. Those reinforcements are coming from Zaporizhzhia; which of course, is now wide open.

  3621. Just keep taking it all, Russia. Take it all back for the family. Half of us in the West are with you....***

  3622. I've been wanting to see this one reviewed here in the States. Most of the reviews are from Europe (where this thing outsells Teslas 20 to 1); wanted to see how it translates here. I'm kind of "meh" about it; I'm sure its magnificently built and high quality, but that interior is a $50K to $60K interior in an $80K car. I really thought the "battery premium" that makes $20K cars cost $40K (ahem Model 3) was moving in the right direction over the past couple of years. Looks like we have a ways to go still. Go sit in an $80K Lexus LS500 AWD and then go sit in this; even if ozone depletion has melanoma growing on your forehead you won't buy this EV.
    4
  3623. Worthless thing died without even seeing another tank to fire at. Just like all the Leopard 2s; they all get blasted by 10 other types of weapons long before their supposedly "superior" ability to fight tanks ever gets used. May as well have sent some Churchills from the Imperial War Museum.
    4
  3624. About six months ago I caught a nail in my '17 Giulia tire. I went to a local chain and the guy remarked "oh, Alfa Romeo? You know we are seeing a lot more of these lately". I said "really? The Giulia? He said "no, the SUV one can't recall the name. I've seen three in the last month". At first I was puzzled like why so many in a tire shop. He said "no, no problem with them. People just driving them a lot more; they catch nails, potholes, curbs. People just buying more of them I guess". That's when I knew the word was out. Alfa Romeo is THE car to have among those in the "know". We aren't "early adopters" anymore. :-)
    4
  3625. Leopard 2 and Challenger trophies, I'd bet.
    4
  3626. CT5-V over this thing every time. Looks far better, handles far better, and will last twice as long. If your 2015 Elantra is falling apart, I suppose this would seem like a nice upgrade. Otherwise, no thanks.

  3627. I'd bet the captain of the Iranian frigate in the Red Sea made flank speed to the nearest Russian or Chinese warship as soon as he heard. Never more than 500 meters from it for the foreseeable future...

  3628. Orban tried to negotiate a Christmas ceasefire but Zelensky refused. Oh well...
    4
  3629. Wow, glad they found them and so quickly! I recall a few years back a worker at Nissan who had a GT-R (why I remember) was killed on his way to work when some idiot threw a rock off the overpass. I checked regularly for a year after and afaik they never found the killer. Good work here. The United States has far too much killing every day as it is; stupid waste of a life over this kind of dumb behavior.

  3630. Great car. Unfortunate timing. The bottom fell out on muscle cars now with high interest rates and high inflation.

  3643. If its the 600mm heavy MLRS from NK, that's gonna be a problem.
    4
  3644. Ukraine could have chosen neutrality and lived in peace. Why did they choose NATO?
    4
  3645. Every AFU FPV drone vid in the northern part of Avdiivka this week shows signs of signal jamming; the vid is clear until it gets within maybe 300 to 500 meters of the target then it gets fuzzy and the horizon starts gyrating wildly. RU probably has 10 or 20 signal jammers in a 2km square box of territory to cover their northern advances.
    4
  3646. LOL. Poland's people have been blocking the border with Ukraine for months, dumping their grain and other cheap goods from entering. Most EU citizens support a negotiated settlement. The Capitals are all "rah rah rah Ukraine forever to the last Ukrainian!", but the people's voices tell a different story.
    4
  3647. I shudder to think what Russia is going to do to Ukraine now. Putin has been trying to negotiate for months and NATO always says "NO". What happens when Putin finally realizes there is no other way but to go all in???"
    4
  3648. Does the ambassador realize it isn't only the "allies" that have sacrificed a great deal on her country's behalf?? Half the world paid triple-sized energy bills last year on Ukraine's behalf. National industries re-arranged themselves to the detriment of many due to Ukraine's attack on the Nordstream 2. 5 million people in Africa and Asia, put at risk of starvation on Ukraine's behalf. None of these people or nations were asked before they made their "sacrifice". Yet she bristles when it is suggested some humility is in order as many in NATO denuded themselves of their own ability to defend themselves on Ukraine's behalf?? How did Ukraine's leaders convince themselves they became the Most Important Country on the Earth(tm)??
    4
  3649. Like many, I expected Russia to send 100K men and 1000 tanks into Ukraine by now, like it was Eastern Front 1945. At first I scratched my head at their obvious reluctance to do so. I think that pervasive surveillance plus abundant guided weaponry has turned any war for territory between equally matched opponents into a version of WW1. I mean, the Krasnopol round can hit a MOVING tank from 20 miles away (as long as the drone guiding it remains unseen). That round is big enough to obliterate ANY armored vehicle of any type from anywhere 100% of the time. So how do you win? The old fashioned way when your armies cancel each other out; economic strangulation. No two warring factions are equal everywhere and Russia has a 100-ship Navy while Ukraine has none. Takes longer to subdue your foe this way, but much higher likelihood of success. I think we may be in for "forever war"; Biden sure doesn't want Ukraine to collapse in the next year so he won't allow them to talk OR allow them to be crushed.
    4
  3650. 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"...."
    4
  3651. Once RU started building them under license; their cost per unit went way, way down.
    4
  3652. Zaluzhny will run in the elections next year and win the Presidency over Zelensky (assuming Zelensky makes it that long).
    4
  3653. I think everyone believed that from the get go...
    4
  3654. Well of course when it dries out it can be used again; all the trenches are now ruined so kind of makes sense Ukraine wanted it this way. However that will take weeks so I really don't think Ukraine blew it up just to make Russian anti-tank mines float so they could attack through there in late July. If it was Ukraine (with US blessing), they did it to keep Russia from attacking THEM through there while they concentrate on Zaporizhzhia. If Russia did it, it could make some sense but the Kherson defense lines were just as strong as those in Zaporizhzhia so why would they flood their own defense line in one place just to push their enemy to attack in another? Matters little for the time being as Leopard 2s and AMX10s have been clearly spotted in Zaporizhzhia now so we know elements of the NATO-trained attack force is there.
    4
  3655. ...meanwhile the same day in Lobkove, Russian thermobaric rockets killed all life forms in a 2km square box including the 200 Ukrainians that had dug in there. Over 100 rockets landed in that area during the day and everything from the rats and rabbits to the humans died. Plenty of exciting video of that, but we won't see it here. Wonder why? 🙂

  3660. Why? Why must the alliance have Ukraine at all costs? What makes it so valuable to the US and UK?
    4
  3661. EU says "No" again to Zelesnky on long range missile request. That is now four times in the past three days he has been told "no" by US/EU, on long range weapons/approval. Poland said "no more to give", Finland "no more to give", Hungary just blocked EU giving Ukraine Russian money, Serbia just told EU "No, we will not sanction Russia". Zelensky "VIctory Plan" turning to ashes in his hands.....
    4
  3662. For 2+ years NATO would not allow AFU to use their donated equipment to attack Russia proper. Why? Whatever that reason was, Russia has to now make good on whatever the consequence was that NATO wanted to avoid 2 years ago. They have to or their credibility will be undermined..."

  3663. Trying to keep track of who is a "war criminal" and who isn't has become like mental spaghetti. When everyone is a "war criminal"....no one is.

  3666. Ukraine will be our 51st State for the next 100 years.
    4
  3667. No problems in six months =/= "reliable". OMG you people...

  3668. They made an assTON of money the last two years but now rates are 7% so the truck and SUV market will be much smaller.

  3669. I don't know about this one Joe. A BMW (or Benz or Audi) is going to be ten times higher quality interior materials, fit and finsih, and an M or AMG or RS even moreso than any Ford ever made. If you drive both, you will want the M4.

  3676. By the end of this war, there will be at least a dozen "Great Mysteries of the Russo-NATO War" on History Channel in the 2050s. Episodes will include: "Who blew up Nordstream?" , "Who blew up Kakhovka dam?" , "Where did half of the $300B for Ukraine go?" , and now "Who shot the Slovakian Prime Minister?"...

  3677. A stupid end to a stupid war. I've gone through at least three historical references to what this appeared to be from its beginning, over the days it matured, and until now when Zelensky finally began speaking, giving hints to this operation's real purpose. At the start it looked like the Battle of the Bulge, then as more AFU were poured into the salient, maybe the Battle of Kursk was more appropriate as there didn't seem to be a realistic destination like in the Battle of the Bulge (Antwerp). For a time I thought maybe Operation Barbarossa since there was so much NATO equipment; possibly NATO itself was going for the knockout blow using AFU as it's "little green men". Now, based on what we've seen and Zelensky's own words, I think Operation Ten Go is the correct historical reference...."

  3678. Who cares about dead murderers? Look at their graves; they are honored far more in death, than they ever were in life.

  3679. Zaluzhzhny can be seen behind both Blinken and Lammy in some photos of them getting off the train. I wonder why Western Media has not reported such a high profile Ukrainian figure traveling with Blinken and Lammy??

  3680. No one alive in the Western World that has ever fought a "peer" opponent. Last time was the Wehrmacht and Japanese...."

  3681. Zelensky was willing to surrender two years ago in Istanbul. What changed?

  3682. With all those 70 yr olds defending it? Oh yeah AFU gonna rule the planet...😂😂
    4
  3683. 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??
    4
  3684. Russia has five or six operational hypersonic missile systems and we have zero...."
    4
  3685. I mentioned how RU has pulled out 80 year old guns that fire 130mm NK ammo, and how smart they are to do that, and of course YT deleted it..." 😅 Anything showing Russia in a positive light is verboten in the West!!"

  3686. That Mazda punches above its weight class should not surprise. Few remember Mazda was #4 after Honda, Toyota, Nissan to be all set to introduce a luxury brand 30 years ago. They actually built the first car but the economic winds began to change and they scrapped the plan; that car was the Mazda Millennia. In college I had an MX-6 GT manual which had electronically adjustable shocks and could take Mustang GTs at the time. This will be vastly superior in all respects relative to a Chevy, Ford, or HyunKia-----only the top three Japanese brands will equal or exceed it.

  3687.  @hankjones3527  At least they showed up. Still waiting to see a Challenger "Challenge" anything.

  3688. Im already wondering just how bad the post war world will be. Zelensky either dead or in exile. Millions of Ukrainian refugees wearing out their welcome.

  3689. I thought weeks ago they were crazy to send their people in there. Let US Marines pacify it first, then Kenya can keep the peace. Its mostly US fault anyway
    4
  3690. Ever since Desert Storm in 1991 this is the US "textbook" response to every challenge. Problem is after 30 years it doesn't work anymore

  3692. Slava Rossiya.
    4
  3693. I dont like this "get in front / behind car so if you move forward or back a shoot is justified". Cops use it too much, especially in nonviolent situations like this. If cop stands to the side, no justified force, if he stands in front justified force to shoot a shoplifter. Not cool.
    4
  3694. In almost every one of these videos, the vehicle is absolutely stationary (and at least half they clearly seem to be abandoned). The height at which they are dropping these means the drone would be clearly visible to the blind, and would be instantly shot out of the sky the second it stopped to hover, meaning most of these are not actually defeating any actively operational equipment. Cool vids tho...
    4
  3695. Yeah, Ukraine aint going any further in Robotyne. AFU had a numerical superiority there (60K AFU, 40K RU) but that was before Russia moved a new army there. Probably parity now and if you are defending that means YOU have "superiority". Ukraine aint getting to Tokmak this year. I bet real money on that.
    4
  3696. ​ @gilangputra7514 Wow! I looked that up and that would be perfect!! The effects of a tactical nuke strike without the fallout. At 15,000 lbs it's just within the max load of a Su-34. What Russia waiting for? Drop 2 or 3 on Robotyne and 2 or 3 on Orekhov and that's the end of NATO army

  3703. Stoltenberg just said it yesterday: "Russia can't be allowed to win under any circumstances" I have no idea why Ukraine is of existential importance to NATO, but here we are just months away from WW3.

  3704. Alcohol changes people. She behaves like any other drunk bar girl at 3am; you'd expect a LOT more from a woman who is a judge. Definitely needs to be suspended for a few months to let the lesson sink in: Grow up. Your drunk-at-the-bars life is over if you wish to have a career as a Judge. Raise your standard of living.
    4
  3705. It is 2024, not 1944. The world in which NATO was created is vastly different. Germany, Britain and France have no excuse to be weaklings. They are weak because we've done all the work for them for far too long.

  3714. Stop putting your values on them; why can't the U.N.(United States) just leave people alone??
    4
  3715. Hundreds of 80 year old, 130mm guns (a caliber RU no longer makes...but NK does), with 17 mile range, now firing freshly manufactured NK shells. So good at it even the US military acknowledges that these guns are very good at counter-battery fire. That is why no one beats RU on their own land..."

  3716. Did he have the four Su-35s escorting his plane as usual?

  3717. I think it has already begun, actually.

  3718. What a disaster----its like watching cross country travel by car in the 1920s. Can you imagine doing this with your wife and three kids???? All this tells me is that my 2011 JagUar XJ Supercharged, with its bulletproof Ford V8 and ZF trans combo, has nothing to worry about. I'll still be using it for road trips in 2030...
    4
  3719. LOL. "82 localities" with a total population of 7000 at most. While in Donbass, RU is currently inside of only three actual cities with an aggregate population of over 110,000; and they are at the gates of Pokrovsk (pop. 60,000) and Selydove (pop. 10,000). The more AFU "wins" the more they lose....." 🤣🤣🤣

  3720. LOL. None of what he says amounts to "yeah I want NATO to have their missiles and navy ships in the Sea of Azov". 😂😂😂
    4
  3721. In the US, sure its a toss up between them. In Europe or Germany specifically (where you can legally cruise at 140+ mph), no way, no how, no when would I take a pretty Hyundai over a BMW. A 530i will hammer down the autobahn at 140 in serenity where this will make you pray to your God of choice after 120. Its cheaper for a reason.
    4
  3722. Ultra high car prices + high interest rates has bifurcated the car market. $100K+ can't stay in stock, and $50K+ can't sell. Car prices don't affect the wealthy as much as the middle/working class; that is why $22K cars fly off lots, while $52K cars sit. I've noticed a lot more people re-discovering simple is better. No EVs, no turbos, no hybrids, just a good solid NA 4/6/8 cylinder, a torque converter transmission (if you can find one), and that's it. In this high inflation environment people need to depend on their car, and frankly a lot of the new auto tech just isn't as reliable as the older. Which would you buy Lexus RX with turbo-4/hybrid or an Infiniti QX60 with an NA 3.5V6???
    4
  3723. Where has Russia complained about any of those things???
    4
  3724. Maybe by 2044, kids will be normal again. We can only hope. About 10 years ago many Gen X women I grew up with started hitting the 40s "wall"; and more than a few said if they had it to do over again, they'd have been happier being a housewife. Spend lots of time with your babies, not just drop them off at daycare; go to PTA meetings, band/dance/cheer/sports, make hubby happy by having a steak cooked for him at 530pm, etc. They felt like that would have been easier and more rewarding than 20 of corporate climbing that all you have at age 45 is a big empty house, and a fancy leased car. No husband, kids (if you were lucky) that hate you, and no grand-babies.

  3726. What is the rush?

  3727. Block the opinions of those who you disagree with? How democratic!!
    4
  3728. How can anyone give a "timeline" for Ukraine to join NATO when the existence of Ukraine is currently up for grabs? Putting Ukraine in NATO while the war is going on is basically the opening ceremony of World War Three. It is obvious Ukraine is unable to eject Russia no matter how many "game-changer" weapons they are given, so "Ukraine" does not even currently have defined borders. All a "timeline" would do is tell the Russian Army how much time they have to occupy the entirety of Ukrainian territory.
    4
  3729. Yes they are making "headway", but let me give you today's headlines from the non-Western world: "The Russians Inflict Staggering Losses On The AFU" and "Russian Forces DEMOLISH Ukrainian Positions Ahead Of The Third Phase of the Battle of Robotyne". The whole point of defenses are to make the price of getting through them too high; so the enemy goes somewhere else, or commits a massive force (taking that massive force away from offensive operations elsewhere). Fortress Zaporizhzhia is doing exactly what it was designed to do.

  3730. Resounding Victory? I agree!! 🙂

  3731. Never mentions NATO leaving Ukraine alone...

  3732. Zelensky-bots: "It was decoy HIMARS!!"

  3733. The West freaking out. This all cant be coincidence with the election coming in days...
    4
  3734. Taking out fortifications with stand off guided bombs is straight out of US Air Force doctrine
    4
  3735. When leaders start going the "God" route, that's when you know it's time to worry
    4
  3736. Can you imagine being one of these hastily trained AFU that in February was just chilling in a bar and got grabbed when you stepped out? Now, you are in Vovchansk trying to survive knowing full well RU is only attacking to keep you there so they can walk in everywhere else? Lesson to the world for the next 80 years (after that everyone reading this will be gone and the lesson gone with us): Never fight someone else's war.
    4
  3737. His pitch was "gather up the illegal immigrants and send them to Ukraine where I'll put them on the front line. We can solve both our problems" GOP liked that proposal
    4
  3738. Zelensky got enough to make Ukraine the largest standing army in Europe. Zaluzhny threw it all away without winning any battles. Tell him no more money unless he finds a Napoleon to replace Zaluzhny.
    4
  3739. Many times those you call "evil", think the same of you.

  3740. Show us an interview with the guys pulled off the street three weeks ago. If you can find any of them still able to be interviewed...
    4
  3741. UK has no bomber for Rishi to climb into...😂
    4
  3742. If reports of the Kalibr strike yesterday are true, we will likely never see the Challenger 2 in action in Ukraine. Hopefully they weren't dumb enough to put all 14 of them in the same warehouse.... In any event, even if some survived, they won't get used because they'll never be replaced. Britain admitted yesterday they only have 40 operational tanks themselves, so if Russia could invade the UK, they could probably win without taking a casualty.
    4
  3743. I thought Russia may overreact, but so far they have not stopped doing the things that are winning them the war. The plan of whoever, wherever failed....
    4
  3744. 10K and 1 year? Dude a Russian car can do that! LOL. My 2011 Jag XJ Supercharged was built 12/10 meaning it is about six months away from being 12 years old. 96K miles, purrs like a kitty. Only replaced the water pump. Your HyunKiaGen will never make it to 12 years. 🙂"Best car I've ever owned" my azz.
    4
  3745. Good troops left days ago, just the 60 year old grandpas of the Territorial units there sitting in basements to "defend" the place...
    4
  3746. RU like "yeah come on in. Here, make yourselves comfortable and be our guests in Zaporizhzhia. Take all the villages you wish to along this axis that we've prepared for you; we'll even give you a day or two to take selfies to send to CNN."
    4
  3747. Slava Rossiya! We in America (who are not Biden lackeys) support Russia!
    4
  3748. There is no point debating tactics like rockets, shells, tanks, etc. Ukraine's best formations lay shattered in Robotyne; NY Times article this week summarized the gains of the last four months and Russia actually gained more than Ukraine did without even being on the offensive. The Spring Offensive was the greatest military disaster of modern times, and Russia now only waits for Shoigu's order to send a hurricane of steel into the reeling, demoralized AFU.
    4
  3749. After Kursk, RU enabled "beast mode"...."
    4
  3750. I see a fleet of Star Destroyers with wings of TIE fighters all around.....all that is missing is the ominous music of dread.
    4
  3751. Just have China build it and they could have it by 2028. Just give China the nuclear power unit to install and they'll build the rest; easy peasy. Russia had little need for carriers until now; they are at the early stages of a 100-year relationship with at least ten countries in Africa which will require her to massively upgrade her overseas logistics and force-projection capabilities. Flying a few troops and an S-300 to Burkina Faso on an Ilyushin is nice, but that is a pittance to what will be needed to build up Central African Republic (CAR), Mozambique, Mali, Libya, Sudan, and whoever else jumps in. RU will need carriers, amphibious assault ships, many frigates, replenishment ships, etc. A full "deep blue sea" navy for the next century. Good luck to Russia and China.
    4
  3752. This reminds me of when Stalin was first told Operation Barbarossa had begun, he didn't believe it because he had a non-aggression pact with Germany. 80 years later, Russia again caught off guard by an enemy from the West suddenly changing their policy towards them.... History repeats. Always does."
    4
  3753. Built one with 22 inch wheels, full leather interior upgrade and a few other bits. $89K. Not really that crazy when you think a plastic and vinyl filled Hyundai EV with zero off-road or high-speed hardware is $69K.
    4
  3754. Why does Russia need to "advance"?
    4
  3755. Avdiivka, Ukraine is now Avdeevka, Russia. Update your maps...
    4
  3756. The big question is "why"? Why was it so important to NATO that Kyiv keep fighting? Why didn't NATO want Ukraine to be neutral?
    4
  3757. there is a huge army at Kursk, not on the border. The AFU units on the border were Western-equipped mostly, no threat to invade per the ROE. Until 3 days ago....
    4
  3758. A few other channels have noted the recent FPV domination as well. They guess it is due to the naval blockade a few months ago. Ukraine was smuggling tons of stuff in grain ships. Not finished weapons, but things they could make into weapons. All that is gone now and its starting to show
    4
  3759. Next film: "Nine years in Donetsk" and the brutal Ukrainian siege for over 9 years. CNN won't show that one though...
    4
  3760. ...and when an R-37 hypersonic washing machine blots the F-22s from the sky? What then?
    4
  3761. Oh, Ukraine still fighting? The massive retreats all week in Donbas made me think the war was over...."
    4
  3762. One of these guys was in Virginia getting new limbs and the local paper interviewed him a couple weeks. He said: "...right now those going to the front last an average of three days before becoming a casualty."
    4
  3763. A lie. The factories in the Urals run day and night; just like they did 80 years ago, and have been doing so for about a year now. Russia has more ammo of every kind today than they did two years ago.
    4
  3764. 25 years of documented history that HyunKiaGen is basically the low-end of the auto market, right next to Dodge.
    4
  3765. I do wonder if he'd really go there over Ukraine. If US/UK were trying to take Moscow? Yes, absolutely he would If US/UK are trying to restore Ukraine to 1991 borders (and put their navies into the Black Sea)? Probably he would. If it were just NATO coming in to prevent Ukraine from complete loss; no, I don't think he would. However, I really don't see the point in finding out...
    4
  3766. Never a thought to stop trying to use Ukraine to threaten Russia?
    4
  3767. Still waiting for CNN's breathless update on the Fall of Artemovsk today... City fell 18 hours ago and no CNN update. Wonder why?
    4
  3768. It is time to negotiate. Long past time actually, but the offensive has been defeated. With no air cover Abrams will be blown up just like Leopards. A few F-16s are still months away and won't change the outcome of this offensive. Then its winter, Russians still sitting right where they are today, and rested with more tanks and more ammo. Armistice. Now.
    4
  3769. Says who?????
    4
  3770. US don't know what they are there for. Right now nobody does.
    4
  3771. Then NATO goes right in and puts nuclear missiles into their newest member Ukraine, which can destroy Moscow in 30 seconds from launch. Great idea!
    4
  3772. Looks like Battle of the Bulge part Deux. AFU gathered all its remaining offensive power and hurled it at one spot; hoping to capture something valuable enough to get more favorable terms in a war they know is unwinnable. Precisely the justification for the original Battle of the Bulge. That one failed to achieve its meager goals; so too will this one...."
    4
  3773. Denys, the guy who fled Ukraine so he wouldn't get drafted and lose his cushy YouTube gig?
    4
  3774. From the details like the front grille, mirror turn signals, side fender vents, etc. I feel like this is 95% of what JagUar would come up with if they built a full-size body on frame SUV. Literally a bit of sculpting at the front and rear and this could be a Jaaaag....
    4
  3775. Yes.
    4
  3776. For a non-enthusiast normal consumer this is fine. It looks good, it can fit a guy your size behind the driver, it has the curved screen, and it doesn't require you to live with your parents to afford the payments. GM will sell tons of these...
    4
  3777. Who told you that, Denys? 😂😂😂
    4
  3778. I don't understand; Russia will simply destroy any such factory. Are you referring to the post-war world?
    4
  3779. That's the problem with vigilantism; half the time the people don't know the whole story and string up the wrong guy. Also, what kind of cops take the guy out when the agitated angry crowd is literally at the door?? They should have gone out and secured the pathway first .... United States starting to look like Venezuela...
    4
  3780. War bloggers have inserted themselves into the "Information Wars" theater of the conflict. I'm only half joking----some say the Propaganda Theater is the most decisive over Land, Sea or Air.
    4
  3781. So, 80 of the 90 countries signed a statement that basically says "it is time to talk"?
    4
  3782. So this is the great "Spring Offensive" we've all been waiting for?
    4
  3783. Thats what I said two years ago. I need to run for President, I am guaranteed to do a better job than these clowns
    4
  3784. My how the mighty have fallen. Pulled from combat because a swarm of $500 Piranha drones descends upon it like angry hornets...
    4
  3785. This is not as attractive as the LC 500, however now that the LC F has been cancelled THIS car is the only way you are going to get that glorious V8 in a Lexus with the handling to match. Its quality is beyond stellar as well; this is one of the few cars you could buy today, put it in your garage, and take it out in 2025 and it is still worth the same (or more).
    4
  3786. They have more tanks and combat power than Britain that is a fact
    4
  3787. In storming/assault, probably yes they are most experienced. However overall the best troops are Pacific Fleet Marines; they are absolutely murdering Ukraine in Zaporizhzhia all month long.
    4
  3788. Mother of God, why is every new BMW of the past few years so butt ugly? Can you imagine if BMW just handed this over to Alfa Romeo to do the styling?? Oh my Gosh....what an example of sublime automotive ecstasy that would be...
    4
  3789. Trump is gonna be really, REALLY angry at Zelensky. Trump hates him already but this is going to just make Trump not even want to have Zelensky in the room after January 21st....
    4
  3790. "Strongman-ism" is the norm in Russia since 1989. The powerful work together when it benefits them, renegotiate when it doesn't. Prigozhin was renegotiating his relationship; its possible he overestimated his power but the fact he did it surprises no one in Russia. Its only the West confused by Russia
    4
  3791. So what will Zelensky be called tomorrow? Regent? Viceroy? Dictator?
    4
  3792. I'm 100% certain that NATO "training army" in Poland is going into Ukraine by the summer. NATO has to protect its investment
    4
  3793. They better hurry...."
    4
  3794. The longer the war goes on the more it favors NATO. Stalemate will not work...US and UK will go to any length to give Kyiv means to strike at a high level. Once the war moves off the ground and into the air and space, Russia advantage is lost. Even if only 100,000 Ukrainians are left alive, that is enough to act as the 'hand of NATO" to bring Russia to her knees.
    4
  3795. NATO overreaction to 3000 inexperienced soldiers (when over a million are already engaged) means there is something far more to this.
    4
  3796. That attack destroyed a Patriot battery. That's Storm Shadow shot down, uranium shells obliterated in a cataclysmic strike, and now Patriot annihilated by a hypersonic missile. Even if you hate Russia you have to tip your hat to how they take the best hits from 30 other countries and keep on fighting. They are becoming like "Rocky"...
    4
  3797. You are too nice; Model Y is straight up ugly---total butterface. This is very, very good looking. Only the US charging infrastructure will limit this from becoming the best-selling EV in the US. I personally hate the "giant iPad" but I get that's what the youth want. I wish they made an option normal dash version.
    4
  3798. Whoa shocking. Putin only been saying this for two years or more... LOL
    4
  3799. NATO did this. Wagner was about to blow up their Empire in Africa

  3802. He probably got popped for speeding 6 mph over the limit, was VERY annoyed (rightfully) feeling like his car (and occupant) always draws the eyes of the law, did not want to just be quiet and "take it", and forced them to have to put him on the ground. DWB is real, everyone knows that, but for you to end up on the ground like that takes some effort on your part ..."
    4
  3803. Nope!! You had your chance!!! Take it all RU!!!
    4
  3804. China is coming along; however, they are not there yet. Their radar and electronic equipment performed poorly in Pakistan last month so they are weak where Russia is stronger; their alliance will help here. Speaking of Russia, the fact they are currently beating up the weapons and money of FIFTY-ONE enemy countries, AND can still show up with more exhibits at this show than ever before....I don't know what to say other than I'm impressed.

  3813. I saw the new "Coalition-SV" artillery on another channel a week ago. It originally was some kind of crazy double-barreled artillery; but in testing the twin barrels didn't work very well so they scrapped it. That origin is where "Coalition" came from; but they kept the name and went to a conventional single barrel design. When I saw the standard round range I too was shocked; that range is far beyond the standard range of any artillery either towed or self-propelled I've ever heard of. It is also armored like a tank; the crew and ammo are inside a "citadel" of armor so something like HIMARS or other artillery that lands nearby will never penetrate it; only a direct hit will probably destroy it. Its a monster for sure.

This is all going back to normal soon.

  3818. It seems that the anti-drone "cope cages" actually work to make it more difficult for FPV drones to achieve a critical hit. IDF tanks visible all week with cope cages on top, and the IDF is nowhere near the "diva army" that Ukraine is. IDF doesn't make TikTok videos for their fanbois; if the cope cage didn't have a benefit, it wouldn't be there. I saw vids this week where FPV drones could be clearly seen trying to maneuver to hit underneath the top and sides of the cage; and it seems to be much harder to do than just dive bomb the uncovered top of the vehicle. The cage on that BMP-T had angled sides to provide some protection while not blocking the missile launchers. The Terminator is one of the very few Russian vehicles you don't hear BS in US media about----all the usual neocon/US military sites give it respect as it is armed for basically any situation. Anti-personnel, anti-tank, anti-fortification all in one machine. AFU fortunate Russian only has like 30 of them.

  3822. What is new about this? In life always good to have a back up plan as most things are not in your sole control. In 1993 I was 21 fresh out of college, and my girlfriend of 2 years got a job near my city. A year later I was still just enjoying myself (and her) and one day she called me and flat out said: "what are you going to do? I'm here now 3 years waiting on you and no ring, no mention of anything. I'm done waiting; are you going to marry me or not?" I said I "wasn't sure" but I really was. I didn't hear from her for a couple of weeks so I called and when she answered there was another guy there. She went to another room and in a low voice said: "he wouldn't be here if you got off your ass and did what you were supposed to do". Sure enough, a year later she married that guy (and 8 years after that they got divorced). ALL women have a backup man. Like Beyonce said: "If you liked it you shoulda put a ring on it". If you don't someone else will and then you will be the lonely mofo in the strip club with no money left looking all forlorn. Don't be that guy.

  3824. There will be no more challenges. I see Putin as stronger than ever. He sided with the Army a week ago, and when the isht hit the fan, the Army stuck with him. Parliament just yesterday made it law in Russia that private military formations are under the jurisdiction of the Army; that matter is settled. Today Wagner gave up their heavy weapons to the State with no issue. Prigozhin is alive, but has no army now (and if you think Lukashenko will give him the long leash Putin did you are insane). What Potentate now exists in Russia to challenge Putin? You can't name one. Seems his position is a lot stronger to me.

  3837. So AFU just sitting inside forests solely to be hard for RU to root out? The only purpose to have something to bargain with? I can’t believe men willingly perform such a mission where “success” is judged by how long you last until you become a casualty or captured.

  3845. Yes you are; the fact you have to say you're not confirms it. Last weekend your troops were shouting into CNN cameras "Tokmak in 10 days!" and now 6 days later they haven't even moved an inch from where they were the day they said that. Russians on the west of Robotyne right where they've been for months; they haven't budged from that high ground. AFU send thousands of troops and hundreds of vehicles into the town itself and screamed "we liberated it!". Next day Russian artillery killed every single one of them in that town. AFU then moved east into the open fields so they could bypass the town and go further SE. Yeah right into next line, this one with dragon's teeth and anti-tank ditches they need equipment to pass. Russia put VDV paratroopers on that line and whoops! No more southern progress for AFU; now they are bottled in on three sides, Russia brought up TOS-1A thermobaric rocket launchers now newly slaved to the Orlan drone targeting system...called "EYE"...and whatever the drone "sees" instantly transmitted to every TOS-1A in range and a barrage of death that you cannot hide from is in the air. Ukraine is trading lives for land, while Russia is trading land for time. Russia has more time than Ukraine has lives.

Win - Win. Why should illegal immigrants not have to do the same? What justification can you argue for the US not to control immigration so that we are selective in who we admit so that we maximize the benefit to our country?

  3849. I still find it hard to believe that a man like Gen. Mark Milley didn't see all this coming two years ago. Biden is semi-conscious and Austin a pure peacetime officer, but Milley has combat experience. If he just goes along to appease his boss, OK I can understand that (if not respect it). However, that would be the only explanation that would make sense. Of course he saw this coming; which means his real goal is something else....

  3852. DEMs are pathetic. So because there was a political rally there 85 years ago, the one last night is somehow "similar"? There is not a single objective "link" between the two on any historical intellectual or political level, NONE . The only "connection" is they were held in the same physical building (and both men are hated by the DEMs). That's it. Even if you despise Trump, you must hold MSNBC (or any other) outlet accountable for this journalistic smear. This kind of inanity is why we can't discuss anything reasonably anymore; the incessant fear-bombing (yes by both sides) just makes any debate almost impossible.
    3
  3853. It is no exaggeration to say that in 2024, hundreds of guided bombs, Iskanders, and Lancets are hitting AFU all across the entire front line every single day I don't really see how any number of new air defense systems can stand for long against that kind of onslaught. To use such systems, you have to bring them out of cover and move them around, that is when they are vulnerable as they aren't invisible.

  3870. This past month the battles have been fierce. Not a day goes by without lots of new combat video on all the various military blog sites. One thing stands out to me: BOTH sides are making fewer and fewer mistakes. The "Bradley Square" from June, with Ukrainians running into each other, hitting mines, getting blown up with ease; that doesn't happen anymore. They are still losing vehicles, but they are losing them while attacking, not because they are jumbled up running into each other. The Russians are experienced, that is obvious. Like the Swedish CV-90s that were knocked out and captured last week...the video clearly shows them attacking and firing, but the RPG round comes from the side, not the front. That means the Russian soldier WAITED until the CV-90 passed him before firing, knowing his round had better penetration chances to the side than the front. FPV drone video shows both sides often fly past a vehicle, then turn around to hit it from the rear as most vehicles have less armor in the rear and ex-Soviet ones in particular carry their fuel in the rear. If NATO sends in their troops, it will be a year of them being slaughtered before they gain the experience necessary to survive.

You don't use $1B to prop up a client State that had no business going to war. You invest $1B and those uses are not investments; they are feel-good ego stroking. Imagine how many new doctors this investment will fund? How many who would not have been able to go, now will go? More of this please.

  3879. Can't blame him. Look at the POW plane, it was trigger-happy UK mercs that fired the Patriot missile. As AFU begins to collapse, Command and Control is one of the first to go. We saw it in Avdiivka last week when units could not communicate with command because their brigade HQs had been hit by Iskander a few days before. In the absence of orders, they negotiated surrender in small units or they just broke and ran.

This tale of the Ukrainian woman and the fate of her husband will garner no sympathy from any American. 50 years ago, one of the worst things any American could be called was a "draft-dodger"; as a young man it was your duty to go to SE Asia and die for your country. These complaints will fall on deaf ears at the Pentagon----to them the men of Ukraine are simply doing their part for the "deal" between NATO and Zelensky.

  3886. Very few of the younger generations really understands just how much Western "elites" (the leadership class, the ones born to wealthy powerful families, went to top academies and universities where the politicians send their children, etc.) have long cried in their beer that they did not take down Stalin and the Communists in 1945. Many German units willingly surrendered to the British and Americans and their officers openly offered to fight with the US/UK against Russia. Churchill in particular wanted to take East Germany and Poland back immediately at the very least, and if the Reds resisted he wanted Truman to use the A-bomb on them. Truman had enough of war and wanted nothing to do with such an idea; preferring to just limit the spread of the USSR.

  3887. 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

  3889. Two observations: One, as the soldier said EW is not 100%; just like sometimes your WiFi does crazy unexplainable things, same too with any RFb-based tech. Two, FPV drones cannot get bigger, to carry stronger warheads, without giving up their main strengths----small size/speed/agility. If they get larger, they get easier to shoot down..."
    3
  3890. Ukraine is holding up fairly well so far to the Russian Steamroller, but you can see the cracks if you look closely. The Kharkiv mail depot blown up yesterday became a target because Ukraine's rail network has been destroyed by the aerial blitz of the past two months. They have to use trucks to move arms and ammo now, making the mail hub a target. Russia has shot down 15 AFU planes in three days. Once Russia starts a large push in one or two more sectors, Ukraine's defense will crack suddenly like an eggshell that reached its limit.
    3
  3891. ...and when the air war inevitably reaches this "green area" and RU drones/planes are approaching?? Or, the ground war moved far enough west that RU own tactical AD now illuminates all these "enemy" planes; how do they know which is Ukrainian and which is not??? None of you have thought this through...."

  3892. Anyone who believes Ukraine can win needs a mental health evaluation. Don't take my word for it; take ours: "National Security Advisor, Jake Sullivan, claimed that F-16 fighter jets sent to Ukraine would be unlikely to have a significant impact on the battlefield. Sullivan also said that "Russia has 800 to 900 fourth- and fifth-generation fighters." 800-900 fighters to Ukraine's old 84 (last count, last week's 100 missile barrage probably reduced this a bit). The Left are starting to sound like QAnon kooks or "Big Lie" numbskulls...

  3898. There is one thing standing out to me----LOUDLY----about Kherson. How is it that Ukraine has some kind of drone simply sitting above Russian territory at least 10 km deep?? All these vids of FPV drone or HIMARS hits are being RECORDED. By what?? Russia needs to fix THAT problem, and the other problems will solve themselves! At this point, I no longer call the red shaded areas "annexed areas"; they just celebrated Unification Day and voted (again) to be Russia. All that Red area is Russia; Ukraine is basically now in possession of 0.5% of Russia and the Russians are the ones trying to push out some squatters that overstayed their welcome.

  3901. My buddy has a '22 Palisade. It has a smooth comfy ride and pretty much all the basics covered in a 3-row CUV. It is not a truck by any means, and off-roading is a joke as it sits just as low as the Sedona minivan its based on. However he got it for $34K and I think that is a fair price for what it is. However in no Universe are you getting a "GLS for $30K less". I went to unload something while it was idling and I could hear a faint rattle from the exhaust. A 2022 with 10K miles. I have a 2011 Jag XJ that was $87K a decade ago. That is about $120K today. Almost 12 years and 100K miles and NOTHING on it rattles; as you'd expect as it represents FOUR TIMES the level of resources a Palisade does. A GLS is built to a similar standard and it is impossible for a Palisade to be in any way its qualitative equivalent. It is a Hyundai product. Never forget that.

  3902. Just saw report this morning that Zelensky signed a law to allow foreigners to serve as officers in the UAF He long ago signed Ukraine's resources to the West, now he's even signing away what vestigial shreds of sovereignty Ukraine had left....

  3903. It is impossible for those of us born after 1970 to really understand just how "Jedi Level" the USA was from 1945 to 1970. We were building (not just designing) things like the XB-70 Valkyrie (and then discarding it after deciding it wasn't quite what we needed). That was 25 years where our wealth and engineering resources were so far ahead of the rest of the world combined, we could quite literally have had every nation on Earth under our gun if we'd wanted.

    3
  3907. Wow. Assuming those Iskander cluster munitions were detonating on the ground, if you compare the size of the detonations to the size of the vehicles, those are huge submunitions (maybe they are airburst). Go look at the detonations in the water and sand from the ATACMS cluster strike last week in Crimea; their detonations were about the size of a human. I've read that RU has modified Iskanders to have less range but more payload since their westward progress has shortened the range to all their likely targets. The pattern entirely covers that whole column, meaning every single vehicle was likely hit by some fragments..."

Watching Stoltenberg publicly lecture Macron for shooting off his mouth about "NATO troops in Ukraine", Poland blocking the Ukraine border, Hungary's Orban becoming besties with Donald Trump, and Italy saying "we will never send our troops into Ukraine", Sweden and Finland may be thinking: "just what the hell have we gotten ourselves into here??" 😂

NATO is jumping in with these precision strikes and Russia cannot adequately fight back because they can't shoot down the Reaper or Poseidon that is doing the target acquisition; all they can do is try to shoot down the Storm Shadows and I saw a BBC article a couple weeks ago that UK factories are now running day/night building them JUST FOR UKRAINE Russia can't shoot down the drone, can't bomb the source of the missiles; only react when they are fired. That is not sustainable. If its just stuff handed over to Ukraine, Russia wins that easy as they have far greater "full spectrum" capability than Ukraine. But nobody does "full spectrum" better than NATO.

  3917. Thats just what Ukrainians MoD wants us to see. About three months ago Ukraine really cracked down on video posted by their citizens; arresting people, etc. Cant blame them at all...they were smart to do that. All the video was confirmation Russia was hitting their targets like the cafe where the NATO officers were eating pizza. After that almost no video of Russian strikes comes out of Ukraine anymore. There have been several 100+ missile attacks the past few weeks and almost no video except what Ukraine publicly released

  3935. Unbelievable what this country has become. Then again; the US has always kind of been this way. In 1941, after German Stuka's almost sank her, HMS Illustrious was sent to Norfolk Navy Yard for emergency repairs. She was there about three months, during which British sailors (virtually all of which had never been to America) wrote anguished letters home about how violent the US was. Bar fights between US army and navy guys, .45s pulled on Brits in nightclubs; they couldn't wait to get back on their ship and go back to the war where it was safer.
    3
  3936. That explosion wasn't that large---the Kalibr is about the same as a US Tomahawk which is not a huge warhead; enough to blow a hole in a warship but that's about it. You'd need several to completely take out a low-rise office building type structure. If that was a hit on some weapons being transported by rail they didn't destroy that many of them.

  3939. ...and when Russia responds with tactical chemical weapons? Biden says "sure!" when Zelensky begs for something similar? Is there anyone sane holding Biden's puppet strings in the White House???

  3940. That wasn't all Ukrainians; just the nationalists (like Zelensky, Nuland, Blinken ancestors) in the west that joined Germany. Most of eastern Ukrainians fought the Germans. Those western Ukrainians that let the Germans in are still there right now trying to finish what they started 83 years ago...."

  3941. I'm not sure if there is an example of Zelensky in modern world history; he really stands alone as this puppet government which somehow wields significant political power within its patron

  3942. "Big powers" fighting each other indirectly via proxies is as old as warfare, but I cannot recall a modern analogue to this war. In all the cases I am aware of the proxies fight EACH OTHER, with support of the "big power"; never a proxy fighting the big power itself. Of course, that makes sense; how can a nation so weak by itself it must accept being a proxy, ever hope to defeat a big power, no matter how many guns its sponsor sends it? If you want to do something that you can never find an example of anyone else doing successfully throughout history, it is probably something you should not try to do...

He has the clearly desired policy for the three most important things to every American: 1. Illegal immigration, 2. No thanks to war with Russia and 3. No to Socialism like student loan forgiveness. Harris has the losing policy on those three and its not even close; I have two sons age 21 and 14 and never in a thousand years will I sacrifice them for Ukrainian nationalism.

  3951. LOL, after last week's embarrassing debacle, AFU now includes unassailable proof of what it announces. Honestly, the Russian Navy has never been more than average at best, historically speaking. 110 years ago, the Japanese Navy annihilated them at Tsushima, and the past 100 years hasn't really changed the perception of their surface fleet all that much. (Now, their submarine force is a different story; since WW2 their submarines have been very, very good). I mean look here; I'm a nobody and I can't believe at this stage of the war every ship in the Black Fleet hasn't had multiple heavy machine guns or 20mm autocannons installed on the bow, amidships on either side, and stern on either side. Nothing fancy, just bolt some manually operating rapid-fire guns on there and put a sailor at each one 24/7. How hard is that? Judging by the splashes, they were mostly using assault rifles to try to hit the drone that ain't gonna get it done. The Molniya-class corvette has only a single 76mm main gun, and two 30mm cannons----neither with the agility or rate of fire to deal with multiple jet-ski sized object coming from multiple directions simultaneously. I'd probably be a Rear Admiral in the Russian Navy with zero naval experience.
    3
  3952. NATO got several ships of the Black Sea Fleet, but they never got any Black Sea Fleet Marines. Those bad hombres are the ones tearing AFU a new rear exit in Kursk the past two weeks. Spetznaz , Akhmat, VDV Paras, and Storm-Z all there too; that's why AFU was stopped cold 10 days ago; all of RU's bad boys are all around them...."
    3
  3953. Zelensky is utterly beyond reason. It is bad enough he's sending 71 yr old men to NATO training, wants countries to forcibly deport fighting-age Ukrainian male refugees, etc. He actually believes France or Portugal will go to war with Russia because some rocket parts fell on a copse of trees in Romania.
    3
  3954. The harsh truth is these guys are almost always sex workers. The liberal media tells us about each crime but never follows up with the details. No interview with family or friends, no profile of the killer, etc. Why? Because the truth is unpleasant: they are trans sex workers that in many cases do not disclose they are male to their clients.

You know, the ones we see on CNN every other week the past 9 months. Why did CONGRESS exempt Azov? Because even then they were confirmed to be....you guessed it....Nazis.

  3962. 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."

  3963. Sighhh....this war has forever turned the phrase "game-changer" in a meme of ridicule...

  3964. Iran has S-400 now and the Murmansk-BN GPS jammer. No idea how many or if they are mostly protecting the nuc sites, but the Murmansk-BN has a range of up to 8000 km meaning a single one can cover an entire country. If US/Israel try and fail, the embarrassment (and geopolitical fallout) will be extreme....

  3970. I am suspect of the "let's invade Kursk area to force RU to stop advancing on Pokrovsk" rationale. If preventing Pokrovsk's fall was that important, they'd have just sent this (obviously well equipped with lots of fresh Western equipment) army there. If Russia saw the buildup of forces days before, why did they do nothing about it? Not even move up more units to shore up an area that was obviously "lightly defended"? Russia has any number of Iskanders to use and endless supplies of Tornado-S which could easily reach Sumy from the safety of Kursk. No bombardment of this grouping? Mines conveniently missing from this area? I don't know.... My first thought was RU didn't appreciate the threat because NATO did not allow the obviously NATO gear to enter Russia (why worry about a Challenger 2 near the border that it cannot cross for political reasons?). However, RU has State-level intel and I'm 99% sure they would have known about this policy decision as soon as NATO leadership made it. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say RU wanted Ukraine to strike through here for one reason: to force the army to expose itself so their superior firepower can destroy it. RU is long known to be willing to give up territory to achieve a military objective. Maskirovka is a game that can be played by more than one person at a time..."

  3972. Seeing a US Senator (in full uniform!) threw me for a bit; I had to go look up why he is there. He's there of his own accord; he isn't active duty obviously but there to "drum up support" basically. While he is within regs as to wearing the uniform, I can certainly see why a Russian drone flying past and seeing him would assume "NATO troops are in Ukraine". If he's there, this "training session" was 100% staged. No way in hell a US Senator would be in Iskander range....my guess is they aren't even in Ukraine.

  3979. ...and in yesterday NY Times, Ukraine is planning to send newly-trained female soldiers to face Storm-Z, Akhmat, and Spetznaz, all with two years now of combat experience in the most brutal warfare, and most of the comments were POSITIVE!! American Left would never in a thousand years send their daughters to do the same, but there they are, cheering Ukrainian women on. Madness. Western leaders are so wedded to the idea of beating Russia, so fervent in their desire to teach Putin a harsh lesson, they don't even notice they've long ago left the "high road" they walk on (and lecture others about) during peacetime.

  3980. 6 weeks only. Not really that long for a city of 30K size. It is operationally encircled and those inside have no hope of defeating those surrounding them. A large AFU army could be sent that could break the encirclement but it would have to come from somewhere else and then that front will collapse. What do you think will happen?
    3
  3981. It seems like Russia had just decided "We are not going to let an FPV drone stop us. You want to stop us, you better have a tank or some big artillery, a flying 82mm mortar tis but a scratch to the Mighty Roaring Bear"
    3
  3982. Will Kyiv be reduced to rubble like Bakhmut is right now before this war is over? 6 months ago I thought: "no, the 'Grand Spring Offensive' will fail, and Zelensky will see the light and try to get the most he can in an Armistice". Today? Bakhmut was only 70,000 before the war and 99% left, and the battle there reminded me of Stalingrad. Remember the night Russia phosphorous bombed half the city? I had to pinch myself and remind myself I wasn't living in 1943. Kyiv is 3 MILLION. Where will 99% of that many people go? It will be "Siege of Leningrad" where people ate all the dogs, cats, rats, and horses, except in 2024, not 1944: and the F-16 being introduced will be part of the reason why.

Just saw some combat video with a Canadian Senator APC with the "triangle" clearly visible. This is no "old NATO stuff"; production of this vehicle began in 2018 so this is top of the line equipment that the Canadian Army uses. At about $350K each, this is yet more proof of NATO's best being involved. So far, American Stryker and Humvee, German Marder, Canadian Senator APC all confirmed to be inside Russia , where they are not supposed to be...."

  3988. Why? War is over..."

  3989. Well, the RU State Duma confirmed RU and NK as "strategic partners" now, so there is likely nothing in Russia's ability to provide that North Korea cannot have. From grain, to coal, to metals, manufacturing/engineering, energy production, and of course, military. I mean Russia still has the 400 or so Western airliners that were stranded on the day the SMO began; they could send Kim 100 of them and overnight air travel in North Korea would be modernized by half a century....

There was a report that Shoigu visited the front yesterday and was updated on plans to continue the offensive through the winter. Do the Russians have some mechanism to fight through mud and snow that Ukraine does not?
    3
  3995. Ukraine guards this number like the Crown Jewels because if Western citizens knew the price they are paying, we'd have stopped the war a year ago. Like, seriously how can the country outgunned from the start 10 to 1 NOT have higher losses?? Arguing otherwise is like trying to argue that Trump won in 2020.

  4000. I'm American, never had much love for Putin. However I always respected him because, no matter what he does, he does it for Russia; he does it for HIS people. What the US has done the past year, imho, is shameful. There was a plan for peace on the table and US/NATO ignored it as they wanted to teach Putin a lesson. I felt the same anger in 2003 toward Bush and the lies leading to Iraq as I do now to Biden and the lies leading to massive death on both Ukraine and Russian side. There was a chance for no war---no, Ukraine would not have got all it wanted, but their country would not be in ruins and their young men all still alive. The Biden Administration did not want that as they had a score to settle with Putin from 2016. It didn't have to be this way.

This reminds me of when Stalin was first told Operation Barbarossa had begun, he didn't believe it because he had a non-aggression pact with Germany. 80 years later, Russia again caught off guard by an enemy from the West suddenly changing their policy towards them.... History repeats. Always does."

  4008. 10 armored vehicles destroyed. What's that about four hours worth of production from the factories in the Urals?

  4009. You can just see all that magnificent German engineering mastery under that hood; the superiority of Benz/BMW/Audi when it comes to material/assembly/engineering quality is just unmatched---the Germans are the pinnacle. However, that price is otherworldly. $165K for this when an F-Pace SVR looks better, sounds better, gives you the same V8 magnificence, same ultra-quality leather/wood/interior, and may only take 2nd place in breadth of the infotainment tech (which few performance minded people will care about), and you get all that for $98K. Even if you are filthy rich, $67K in your pocket feels nice. I bought a fixer-upper house a few months ago for $130K....jeeze...

I can see a TON of guys trading out that CR-V or RAV-4 that they had to buy because they now have a family, while telling wifey that this Hornet GLH does everything those cars did just as well. LOL. I don't care for SUVs but tbh you could almost consider this a "hot hatch" and get away with it. Standard AWD and the 2.0T from the Giulia is nothing to sneeze at----that is a strong motor that can get the AWD Giulia to 60 in 5 sec flat.

  4015. I don't see a lot of TOS1-A flamethrowers at work much recently and I know Putin prioritized their construction. Saw a lot of the big BM-27 rocket launchers on the move near Kupiansk but that's it. Maybe flamethrower range too short for current combat conditions? That one accumulation of forces seemed like perfect flamethrower target.
    3
  4016. Yeah but it did its job. RU owns that territory now; and it aint going back for a thousand years.
    3
  4017. Same reason nothing will change in Afghanistan. The overwhelming majority of people don't want it to. No country is in 100% agreement about anything, but it is rare for a country to simply walk away from their ancient traditions for "modernity" (whatever that is). I really do not understand why the leading countries in the West cannot just leave others alone.
    3
  4018. $204B in free weapons and aid (more than their entire pre-war annual GDP), and all they did was slow down the Russians. Ukraine isn't getting another $200B in 2024, that is for certain.
    3
  4019. From what we've heard on the neutral military sites, AFU has 25K to 45K allocated to this operation (not all committed of course so they can rotate). The RU Kursk Army that was there for months (and was about to invade Ukraine via that same path), maybe 40K to 50K. So, right now both sides are about equally matched in that area, which is why neither can push the other very much, for very long: that "bulge" has remained about the same size for 3 days now. AFU is probing out to try to expand, but those "fingers" always eventually hit a wall. The rest of the border is not easy to cross, mines and dragon's teeth been there for years now, so militarily speaking, AFU can stay as long as they want to endure the FAB guided bombs. However, politically" , Putin is really angry now so it is unlikely RU will do the conservative thing and just surround them and degrade them from the air. They are on *RUSSIAN soil so he will probably send however many it takes to force them out asap..."
    3
  4020. NATO has grown far more aggressive since the Berlin Wall fell, that much is certain. Long before I was born, all through my childhood in the 80s with Reagan and Thatcher holding the line against the Soviets, neither side was under any illusion who would win a conventional war. The West had vastly more money, people, and technology than the USSR. Same is true today of the West vs. Russia. Hence Stalin making sure he got the bomb very soon after the US did, and 80 years later Putin making sure to deploy RS-28 super heavy Sarmat ICBMs as soon as it was ready. Russia only lives if NATO fears its nukes wiping them out in return. That kept the peace for 80 years-----for some reason it no longer does.

  4028. I said in December 2021 that Biden and the meat-heads advising him have no idea what they are getting into tangling with Russia. Russia does not "play" at war. Just like 1943: Russia is holding a defensive line; bleeding and wearing down their enemy, while back in Siberia the factories run day and night pumping out weapons. Once the enemy attack is spent, they go on the offensive with a tsunami of new equipment and the steamroller doesn't stop until Berlin.

Will Kyiv be reduced to rubble like Bakhmut is right now before this war is over? 6 months ago I thought: "no, the 'Grand Spring Offensive' will fail, and Zelensky will see the light and try to get the most he can in an Armistice". Today? Bakhmut was only 70,000 before the war and 99% left, and the battle there reminded me of Stalingrad. Remember the night Russia phosphorous bombed half the city? I had to pinch myself and remind myself I wasn't living in 1943. Kyiv is 3 MILLION. Where will 99% of that many people go? It will be "Siege of Leningrad" where people ate all the dogs, cats, rats, and horses in 2024, and the F-16 being introduced will be part of the reason why.

  4032. Not "New York" anymore; new name is "Novogorodskyoye". Who can blame them? RU can't have a city on their land named after the most famous city of their most hated enemy....."

  4033. Just like the GOP did with the smear yesterday of Trump saying bad things about Mexicans. We are in the final stretch; the isht will fly on both sides for the next few weeks.

  4034. The crazy thing is we had all that 30 or 40 years ago. In Wrath of Khan, Captain Terrell was black and sacrificed himself heroically.

  4035. ...and that isn't even Russia's first defensive line they are hitting up against, that is the defensive perimeter. The first line is 1.5km further back....with 5 more behind it.

  4036. Not to mention Russia grow enough grain to feed half the planet all by itself. When humans are cold and hungry, and you have heat and food....YOU are the richest man on Earth.

  4037. "Turn the table" means "be able to stand and fight for a few weeks as opposed to most of 2024 where its just stand, get surrounded, retreat"

  4038.  @mathiasbartl903  Ukraine does not have the capacity to build its own artillery shells, certainly not cluster shells. If those are proven to be used, they can only have come from NATO

  4042. ?? NATO been involved since day one. Wake up
    3
  4043. Ukraine is only limited in attacking Russia with NATO weapons. If it's something they built themselves or their domestic stuff who can tell them what not to hit. I can't believe Latvia wants to fight Russia. They must have built some long range drones.

  4046. Enjoying the video uploaded today of US M1097 "Avenger" short range AA vehicle being destroyed by a $30K FPV drone. Ukraine was smart to send it along with its vehicle column to protect it against the Kamov 52s ripping them a new arse-hole all month, however a cheap drone killed it. Then more cheap drones killed two of the vehicles it was protecting. Those Russian "shovels" again... 🙂

  4059. EU just told Zelensky that it will not provide Ukraine any more air defense systems. By Zelensky's own words, this means he is doomed. Why is he not on the phone with Putin??

  4060. Damn. That looks like Berlin 1945. That will change that city forever; like the Chicago Fire of 1871-----the city will never be the same again.
    3
  4061. ...and the fact that Ukraine is on the offense, using infantry-heavy tactics due to losses of Bradleys and Russia on the defense, means the "3 to 1" ratio has Ukraine losing 3 soldiers for every Russian they kill. Ukraine must be resurrecting their soldiers killed in 2022 in order to be able to keep fighting. It doesn't make any sense.

  4062. I suggested a year ago Russia help Haiti recover in exchange for a naval base

  4063. Germany just gave 650M euro, Biden is racing the last $5B approved out the door….West is flooding Ukraine with ammo. Problem is they don’t have the trained men to use it, and the Russians know it.

  4064. Just sad. This girl had no parents or siblings or anyone looking out for her???*

  4065. We may have gotten the first glimpse of Russia's "new rules" , in response to NATO changing their rules to allow Ukraine to use their weapons on Russian soil. YT won't let me speak of it, I tried twice to post it and they delete it every time. By tomorrow morning it will be widely reported enough that they'll finally let me talk about it. If true, its classic Putin; the best geopolitics poker player alive..."
    3
  4066. Russia could have dropped every bridge in Ukraine by now if they'd wanted to. Now that Ukraine basically murdered a family by attacking a bridge that had not a single soldier or tank within miles of it, I'd bet every bridge in Ukraine wide enough for two or more people is going to get dropped over the next few weeks.
    3
  4067. NATO keeps trying to find out where Putin's "line" is. I can't say that I know any better than they do where it is; but I do know that once they cross it, Putin won't speak first. His response will do all the talking...

  4071. Almost two years, $113B, and Ukraine is teetering on the brink while Russia is stronger than it was in 2021. Russia has crushed the offensive, they bomb Ukraine every night, 380,000 joined their army in 2023, plus 130,000 more to be drafted next year. How is more money going to stop all that???

  4072. Where are the 60,000 Ukrainian women training vids?? They are all going to die, but at least the women look better so are worth watching.

  4075. I mean, she was born and raised in South Carolina so a below average primary school education can be assumed. Can someone ask her what the cause of the Revolutionary War or WW1 was? Just in case this was more than a gaffe and she really is ignorant about US history?
    3
  4076. When the war is over. This, the Orlan and Lancet drones, and Russia's electronic warfare skills will proved to be the reason Ukraine had no chance. A football field hit with a couple of these rockets is a football field devoid of human life and the rockets need only hit the ground to accomplish this.

  4082. NATO used Zelensky to try to strangle Russia on the cheap. They failed, now the chickens are coming home to roost. At this point, Ukraine is occupying 0.4% of Russia.

  4092.  @mattkemp2162  In the Fall Russia was retreating to their occupied territory to secure their supply lines and prepare for the kind of war we've seen since. There were no prepared defenses at that time.

  4100. Ukraine's intelligence, strategic guidance, logistics analysis, and operational doctrine all come from one place: the United States of America. A small amount of all that comes from UK. That's it. "NATO" is a euphemism for the US and UK; you think Portugal gives a dam(!) about Ukraine? That's why Biden and Sunak are talking at this very moment; Ukraine's fate militarily is the same as theirs politically. I expect they'll try to authorize US/UK troops to fight Russia directly before this is over.
    3
  4101. Should we be building bomb shelters in our backyard? I have a pool so no room for a bomb shelter....
    3
  4102. Yes, if they had at least 700 of them with as many trained pilots. Russia has 1500 combat aircraft, virtually all much newer than an F-16 and all flown by pilots for whom they are as familiar as their own mothers. However even if someone had that many to give, and Ukraine pilots to fly them, Russian missiles rule the skies over Ukraine and every airfield housing them would be obliterated with Iskander and Kinzhal every day until none were left. Putin has already said if F-16s fly from any other country he will bomb that airbase and even Biden doesn't doubt he will. The F-16 as something that can change the outcome is a dream that cannot be realized.
    3
  4103. RU hits a military target and because its "too successful" Zelensky demands we give him long range missiles (for the 6th time in the past week). Do we have ANY adults in the room in leadership positions in NATO countries???"
    3
  4104. Isn't that always the case?
    3
  4105. This shows NATO is panicking as it is no longer possible to hide the utter disaster in Ukraine. The Kursk incursion is a devastating failure as RU has absolutely shredded the forces sent in there. We all know the laugher Donbas has become; RU now taking AFU unit banners as they are overrun. Biden admin. all last week taking great pains to say "we knew nothing about it"; who here is still fool enough to believe they'd say that if Kursk were successful??""😂

  4108. True. They reacted to last night's bombardment without thinking. Never make a big decision while angry...
    3
  4109. More "zergling rush" tactics by AFU. Ukraine has the worst military commanders I've ever seen in my life. Worse even than Iraq under Saddam.
    3
  4110. I'll never forget "the verdict". I was on lunch break from my job in a downtown highrise, the food court was packed and all the big screen TVs had the channel to the LA courtroom (yes kids, at that time no one carried a TV in their pocket). When the verdict was announced there was stunned silence....probably 500 or more people all in suits or a dress....utterly quiet. I quickly pivoted and headed straight for the elevator to get out of there because at that time I was 24 and fresh out of B-school; and I am black so at that moment there were probably 480 very angry white people in that food court and maybe 20 black people at the most. I was worried somebody may see me and take out their anger on me and I didn't want to ruin my very expensive new suit. You'll never understand it if you didn't live through it.
    3
  4111. No matter who you are, you HAVE to ARM YOURSELVES UP. The US and UK have gone insane the past decade. They don't respect anyone , anywhere , anytime. If you are in their way they will first try to buy you off with money, if that doesn't work they send in the US Navy and just bully you out of the way. IF you are strong enough, they'll talk to you, if not......

  4112. Macron has 75,000 fully trained soldiers ready to go. Zelensky only needs to ask.

  4114. He'll go on the YouTube talking head circuit and have ten million followers by this time next year. "Fake it till you make it" personified.
    3
  4115. Not a permanent one. This mess started in 1948 and the PMs, Presidents, diplomats, etc. back then were much more competent than those today. They couldn't fix it then; ZERO hope to fix it now.
    3
  4116. I don't know how Zelensky does it. How does he convince so many men to give up their lives for nothing?? How do you even sell such an operation like this incursion to officers? Let's invade Russia with 2500 men and 35 tanks; how do people not just get up and walk out of the room? Even if everything went right for Ukraine, what would your sacrifice have brought? Whether a week or a month, eventually all of you would be destroyed or captured or have to retreat. Just to try to embarrass Putin on his election day? Your life forfeit for such a complete PR goal?? What kind of men hear such a thing and think "yeah, good idea. I'm in!"
    3
  4117. Russia now produces ammo at a rate 7 times greater than prewar, and overall is out producing all of NATO combined. 😂😂
    3
  4118. Hahaha....YouTube deleted my comment about how things are going in Chasiv Yar, Kursk, and Selydove...🤣 Yeah Austin just there for a Halloween party....
    3
  4119. The smoke is clearing---somewhat. Russian Parliament just passed a law that private armies must be under Military control. No surprise as this was Putin's decision last week and Prigozhin no doubt was well aware it would soon become law. He had to move immediately or never move at all. His timing was perfect----the execution----left a bit to be desired... As to the war effort, Wagner wasn't even currently in combat; having just been deployed to Belgorod area. Shoigu reported a couple weeks ago Russia is recruiting 1300 per day into its armed forces, so manpower, never a Russian problem, won't be affected at all.
    3
  4120. "Ours not to reason why. Ours is to do or die". Soldiers don't have the luxury of picking and choosing which orders to follow; it is up to us civilians to hold the political class accountable. These men lost their lives in service to a pathetic Presidential Administration that has done nothing but start war after war after war the past two years.
    3
  4121. Its a BMW. Doesn't count
    3
  4122. Zelensky is offering Ukrainian citizenship to anyone willing to fight Russia with them. 500+ comments here, most are pro-Ukraine should mean AFU will get at least 400 recruits today. Age doesn't matter....😂😂😂
    3
  4123. 140 million people just said EPHH YOU! to the US and UK and their "rules based order" ( their rules only).

  4124. The Ghibli is fine car; always has been. However it should have been the top of the Alfa Romeo brand, not the bottom of the Maserati brand. Maserati was spoken in the same breath as Ferrari for most of my life; but the Ghibli kind of undercut that. You don't see people working double shifts at Amazon or running Turo side gigs buying a Ferrari, but you see far too many of those people in a Ghibli. Don't overpay for one and think of it as an Italian BMW 5-Series and you won't be disappointed. Remember, there are people who buy a Model S over this.....
    3
  4125. Yep. Sold my car a month ago. Next year this time will be lots of used Hellcats with 15K miles for $45K. Houses too; looked up my house and the 30 day price change was negative. First time it wasn't positive in five years.
    3
  4126. 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...."
    3
  4127. NATO is "peaceful" and "defensive" and wouldn't hurt a fly....
    3
  4128. So Ukraine's "D-Day" invasion is over after 5 days?
    3
  4129. Imagine waking up, getting ready for work, brushing your teeth and a flying lawnmower with 100 lbs of high explosive comes crashing into your apartment....
    3
  4130. Where is the video deep inside Russian territory coming from? What is watching the 11-truck convoy for Ukraine? I'm no longer surprised if its a US asset doing targeting for AFU as we all know they've done that the entire war, but I'd love to know what asset that is.
    3
  4131. Who will fly them? Su-57 will wipe them from the skies...
    3
  4132. Those who believe NATO is "good" and Russia is "bad" cannot be helped; they are too far gone. Those of you who are "on the fence" listen: We do not have to take Biden's path on this as our only option; we are free to choose for ourselves.
    3
  4133. Are you Valtteri Bottas driving for the F1 championship??? These are street cars; who gives a shyte about a few tenths?
    3
  4134. That is correct. Dynamically and visually, the Giulia has no equal in its segment; it is markedly better even than the 40 year leader the BMW 3 Series. Other competitors are better at other things so it really is what the individual prioritizes. If you want the pretty one with the awesome moves, there is only one choice. This is the car that 20 years from now guys will tell their gearhead sons: "I had one of those!" 🙂
    3
  4135. See there you go, assuming what Russia can and cannot do. That is exactly how this war started; Biden seeing reality and convincing himself otherwise. A month from now you'll be on here "Russian can't keep this up for many more months..."
    3
  4136. Trying to be "a little bit at war" is like trying to be "a little bit pregnant"!!! 😂😂😂"
    3
  4137. Same thing happening here in US, even with smaller hybrid batteries. They cost more than the car did when it was new. This is what happens when you force a product into the market by Socialism instead of it developing naturally under free market Capitalism
    3
  4138. I don't think they are. I don't know why, maybe they don't have that many of them yet, or there is some technical reason they don't use them. Especially in Kursk, where AFU has no real fortifications and are primarily entrenched inside forest belts to hide; a few of these on the forest belt would shatter whoever or whatever was in there. If they have them and are not using them on a place like that they are crazy...
    3
  4139. Does Ukraine have any combat power other than FPV drones and mortars? I never see "Cloud" or "Missile" icons in Blue, only FPV drone hits....and where are Ukraine's tanks and AFVs?? Its clear neither side uses vehicles much in offense, preferring the small infantry unit tactics, but on the defense you don't bring in some heavier firepower on attacking infantry??
    3
  4140. Crimea and the annexed territories had an election last week and chose RUSSIA. Today Putin created a new national holiday signifying the unification of Russia with the annexed territory. That territory is Russia. It will take 10 years, a three-million man army, and $4T to alter that destiny. If someone wants to change that, let them. NOT OUR PROBLEM.
    3
  4141.  @mesel7105  So, because YOU are unaware of it, those who are cannot be "sane" in your opinion? No, you aren't narcissistic at all...
    3
  4142. There must be some agreement between the US and Russia for Russia to not fire on American drones and not interdict cargo ships. How could Russia possibly just allow a ship full of weapons to be used against them to simply sail unmolested to Poland?
    3
  4143.  @asmarabella3658  Bro, I'm not kidding. That trial had very strong emotions on white/black sides.

  4144. I don't see how you could justify this over a Yukon XL Denali at around $85K. What is the extra $20K getting you??
    3
  4145. Complete Ukrainian MoD lie. We are watching video of AFU in full flight under shellfire
    3
  4146. Not only did Ukraine admit they shot it down. #1 it was not a Russian Air Force plane; basically what we'd consider a "charter" cargo plane to move these POWs around. #2 Ukraine didn't say (obviously), but only Patriot or IRIS-T have that range and neither are supposed to be used to attack INSIDE Russia. So, basically even if it had weapons, and not POWS, Ukraine STILL effed up.
    3
  4147. This was one of the vids that helped me make my decision to by a mint 2011 XJ SC from my neighbor in 2018. It had 68K miles and she cared for it well; she was a regional manager that had to drive around to a lot of branches so she wanted to be comfy no matter what. She got a new job and didn't need to drive much so she put it up for sale and I bought it for $19K. Since then I've put 30K more miles on it and the only thing that I replaced was the water pump. It rides like a 510 hp limo when you want it to, and is as agile as a JagUar when you put it in Dynamic mode. The crazy thing is it is still worth $19K lol...

  4148. Lavrov again (for the 10th time) today: "You want this to stop? Talks ONLY with Ukraine's masters, not Zelensky who is just the West's puppet."

  4151. What Tesla competes with this? The Model S starts at $70K. This thing will start at $150K...(the gas S-Class starts at $95K). This is WAY above any Tesla; more Taycan/E-Tron competition. However the melted jellybean looks are flat out gross----the Audi E-Tron GT slays this in terms of looks.

  4152. The colonials are just returning home...

  4153. US started the war by goading Ukraine to join NATO and then arming them. Only US can stop it. When we vote out Biden next year, the war will end.

  4156. In this very narrow space, you'd have to give me at least 10 good reasons not to just go Stelvio Quad and be done with it. If it is the "Performance" slider you want set to 10, that is your only choice (and it is by far the best looking in this class too).
    3
  4157. "unhinged" is more like it...

  4159. At $35K or under, you can drive this until the typical HyunKia quality shows up and dump it without losing too much money. However above that price it makes less sense, and maxed out at $43K you are nuts to buy this. Just spend another $35K and get an entry level Range Rover Sport. Believe me, even the clips holding the undertray on a RR will be of so much higher quality than what you'll see on any HyunKia, you'll sit in amazement in your garage for hours just looking at it. Overpaying for HyunKia products is madness; you are buying cars built to sell profitably at $30K, with "features" that push the price to $45K. When you buy a base RR you are buying a vehicle built to sell profitably at $80K-----that $50K difference in material quality is massive and pervasive. Even the hose clamps on a RR will be 10x the quality on even the most expensive HyunKia. Its just another $35K; most of you can stretch to get an $80K car if you can afford a $50K one.

  4161. Just heard about the shooting. I was very happy for the team and the city but the United States of 2024 it is always a major risk to have so many people gathered in one spot with no security zone to ensure who gets inside.
    3
  4162. Probably needed to occupy Pokrovsk now that it is about to fall....
    3
  4163. IDF or Ukraine? Both?
    3
  4164. Neutrality is the cause of the war, so there is no end of the war where Ukraine will join NATO. If Ukraine does not give up NATO membership the war won't end. NATO may grow in other places, but not Ukraine. That plus Russian retention of its new territory means Russia won. The price was high, but they achieved 2 of their three goals. 1. Demilitarized Ukraine 2. Retention of annexed areas. Only 3. Removal of Zelensky regime they failed to do. 2/3 aint bad.
    3
  4165. LOL. It'll take more than 50 Abrams tanks that's for sure! The Leopard 2 is better than the Abrams and all 50 have now been destroyed and not a single one even saw a Russian tank to shoot back at!
    3
  4166. that guy is going to make millions over the next few years on the "I told you so" circuit.
    3
  4167. I wish CNN would give Gen. Clark a chance to explain the true reason behind the war: The "Aegis Ashore" missiles in Poland (that the US says are "defensive only"), but if (when) moved into Ukraine, as would surely happen if they became NATO, would reduce Russian reaction time to a NATO first strike to the point they are practically defenseless. It is like the Cuban Missile Crisis in reverse. I'd love to hear Gen. Clark's opinion on why America would "never" do that and if they did, the missiles really would be "defensive" only.
    3
  4168. "claims gains". Been hearing that phrase since June 5th and it has proven to be utterly meaningless
    3
  4169. Im sure they'll vote Democrat in 2044 when their asylum application is heard and approved.
    3
  4170. If that guy were my neighbor and a teen girl was missing, his place would be the SECOND place I'd look (after her boyfriend's house). Poor baby had a monster living right next to her and the monster got her.

  4171. ...and at this very moment you are unmarried with not a man in sight I'd bet.
    3
  4172. Dam.....you won't see this on CNN or BBC. 😂😂😂
    3
  4173. This war is chewing up lives the same on both sides, I can believe some soldiers want it to end. However, I don't believe Prigozhin is involved. He is too far invested into the fabulous rewards he will get with Russian victory.
    3
  4174. The liberal left, by voting vast sums of public money to be handed out for climate change, literally created this man. A South African, with every bit the malice of any Titan from the Apartheid Era. Even worse, because he didn't have to work very hard at all to get these public billions (zero competition for the money), he never learned the discipline it takes to make it. Now, we have one of the richest men in the world, full of racist ideology, and who wields power like a spoiled teenager with a brand new muscle car. Great job, Greenies. Great job.
    3
  4175. The World no longer accepts US bullying as a fait accompli. Resistance to being dominated grows everywhere....
    3
  4176. Goodness, can the Europeans just leave both Ukraine and Russia alone for God's sake?? Poles in 1612. Swedes in 1708. French in 1812. Germans in 1941. Now, the AmeriBrits in 2024 (whose proxy army contains Poles, Swedes, French, and Germans). I'm not European so this pattern makes no sense to me; what is the major malfunction Europeans have with Russians? Is there a reason Europeans keep trying to invade Russia???"
    3
  4177. How this guy gonna pay his bills after January 20th?
    3
  4178. "Sweden joined NATO because of Russia's illegal invasion of Ukraine"...because NATO illegally regime changed Ukraine's President in order to be able to use the land to move their forces closer to Russia. The very definition of a circular argument
    3
  4179. It is public knowledge that US gave Ukraine that drone. Just another tool against Russia in its 30 on 1 fight. Go Russia!
    3
  4180. no one knows but those AFU at HQ are clearly irrational at this point.
    3
  4181. Cannot argue the possibility of that....
    3
  4182. Since Ukraine's "TikTok" army made it cool to announce your counteroffensive on CNN and BBC?
    3
  4183. Ukraine announced today an "investigation" into the officers of the 3rd Assault Brigade (Azov guys). Avdeevka was NOT supposed to fall so easily; a week ago Zelensky and Syrsky were very public that they were going to hold the city. Something went wrong (obviously) and the blame game has started.
    3
  4184. Fight like Lions Russia, but do not lose your humanity while doing so. It is a few NATO leaders and their wealthy backers that want Russia on her knees, most regular citizens of the West have no such desire
    3
  4185. This turns my stomach; as it does for anyone with a modicum of historical knowledge and a shred of critical thinking skills.
    3
  4186. That looks like the Ottoman armies at Constantinople. Ukraine weakened NATO; Israel will shatter it....
    3
  4187. Same as that worthless Challenger 3; a sitting duck.
    3
  4188. Azov are like Zelensky's personal guard; glad they got a warm welcome.
    3
  4189. Nothing will stop the US weapon pipeline faster than Ukraine demonstrating they won't abide by the usage restrictions. This is a major reason Germany refused to donate Taurus; they didn't trust that as things got bad, someone in AFU wouldn't try to drop a skyscraper in Moscow with it. Then, Russia would come hunting for Berlin, not Kyiv.
    3
  4190. I thought the "find out" part started three weeks ago?
    3
  4191. Someone in Poland posted a vid this morning of dozens of Bradley ODS vehicles on flatbed trucks. Just waiting to start their engines and drive to the border to hand them over.
    3
  4192. Because Russia always does the same thing whenever NATO "escalates" with longer range weapons: they move their isht further back. Crimea been OK to hit for over a year; but AFU don't bother even waste a missile on it anymore because RU long moved all their ships far out of Storm Shadow range. Also, the Western countries don't have much else to give ; Storm Shadow already the longest range cruise missile UK/France has. Germany Taurus goes further but they are done with Zelensky since he blew up Nordstream costing them $600B. Nobody else has anything except the US and JASSM-ER is $3.5M and so new even Biden can't just give it away. The longest range cruise missile US has is Tomahawk but you need a ship or sub to fire it. Ukraine already asking for the Western limit and the next step up in the range game is ballistic and that means the End of All Things...."
    3
  4193. Putin should send Wagner to Haiti. The "musicians" will eradicate the gangs in a week; and the Haitian people would be so happy they'd paint pictures of Russian heroes on the sides of buildings. Then, send in 50,000 tons of free grain every month, enough to make everyone on the island lazy from having a fully belly. In return the Government gives Russia a naval base for the next 100 years and allows Iskander launchers to be stationed in the country. Not a thing the US could do to stop it....
    3
  4194. Soon to be liberated...
    3
  4195. If you're a teen reading this and feeling despair, you CAN change it. Look in the mirror today and say "no more". "I will live my life the right way. I will get married before becoming a parent, I will take my kids to Church and teach them morals. I will marry a person who has these values. I will go back to the old ways of marriage, family, discipline and happiness." You kids CAN save the future; we who came before you failed to do so.
    3
  4196. US Abrams and Bradleys and UK Challengers and Candaian Senators inside Russia is also international escalation. Why you don't care about that?
    3
  4197. Why 447 and not 450 or 500??
    3
  4198. How could RU spend more resources on the first line, when that line didn't even have 'dragons teeth" or anti-tank ditches?? AFU just talking nonsense to NATO to keep their weapon supply up.
    3
  4199. The WSJ guy was caught red-handed; don't know about any others but he was guilty as sin.
    3
  4200. I'm in my late 40s....the idea a VW Golf is doing 60 in the 3s is-----difficult to wrap my brain around. It will take some time...
    3
  4201. Will NATO withdraw from Ukraine?
    3
  4202. LOL. I predicted this months ago. Russia is already in possession of 80% of the LAND they care about. They only cared about the GOVERNMENT in Kyiv, not the land itself. Russia wants the annexed areas and Crimea, not all of Ukraine! They already have the most important territory!! It is only stupid Americans listening to CNN that believe Russia wants all of Ukraine (and Poland, Finland, etc.). Just LISTEN to what Putin has been saying for the past few years. Russia only cares about ejecting Ukraine from the annexed areas, and now will fortify them with a million mines, tanks, artillery and missiles, and fill the Black Sea with warships, and then sit tight and rebuild and repopulate.
    3
  4203. Loki episode??
    3
  4204. Little girls are sugar and spice and everything nice, eh?? Not since the late 20th century...."
    3
  4205. I said it right after the Fall of Bakhmut and CNN cheering article about Ukrainians building IEDs. They are going asymmetric warfare because they now realize they can never win a stand up fight. By this time next year, the offensive will have failed, no more weapons (Spain just said "hell no" to F-16s, Germany wants out, France never was in...), and Ukraine will be 100% an insurgency. Lobbing shells and rockets into a rebuilt Mariupol and Artemovsk, killing a few civilians every other day, using drones and IEDs to kill a few Russian soldiers every other day, etc. Good job Biden!!
    3
  4206. As of 2015 I refused to buy any car with "connected features" , even if they say you can "disable" them. We just learned in Lebanon you can't even trust the manufacturer as they may not even realize their car is compromised. 2015 Lexus ES350 good enough for me for the next 15 years....
    3
  4207. I just want to know how she didn't get knocked up since he rode her bareback...
    3
  4208. Wow we really gonna do this again for the next three years ? What about Nevatim air base and the military targets the attack was aimed at?
    3
  4209. Yep. While fortress Zaporizhzhia holds. Hammer meet anvil
    3
  4210. Stop "protecting" me from what YOU think my tender ears can't hear, I can make up my own mind thank you very much. A journalist is impartial, our media has just shoveled the Biden administration side for two years. Let's hear from the other side
    3
  4211. That Russian ATGM is a thermobaric warhead specifically designed to take out infantry in buildings and bunkers.
    3
  4212. Ukraine has now acknowledged the loss of the landing ship Yuri Olefirenko in Odessa....with 229 Ukrainian troops aboard. Destroyed by a Russian missile strike; type unknown.
    3
  4213. Putin going to burn the names of that family Ukraine killed into their ethnic memory for the next century. NINE Wagner convoys entered Belarus; over 500 civilian vehicles now at that camp; jeeps, SUVs, semi's. Stupid Biden and his stupid supporters going to suffer a massive defeat, just like the rest of us warned they would. Russia defeated two of the largest armies in human history---Napoleon's and Hitler's. Slapping down NATO's band of minions will not even prove difficult.
    3
  4214. The 12K NK's are under three generals in five brigades (with about 500 officers). No experience, but they are fully trained and will have unit cohesion. AFU is down to guys who were taken off the street 3 weeks ago and 67 yr old men...
    3
  4215. Every limit NATO had in 2022 has now fallen away. Weapons restrictions was the last and now, it too is gone. NATO was losing by its own rules..... This is not really a "war" by any historical measure as one country has nothing but what it is given, and that can change at any time due to politics. However if ends I just hope my family and I survive it....."
    3
  4216. To me this is a NATO First Strike. NATO equipment, NATO trained troops, NATO satellite intel, driving to end the existence of the Russian State. Just because its not using missiles so what if the goal is the same!...."
    3
  4217. I have a close buddy that about a decade ago got laid off from his mortgage job after the 2008 crash. He was home for about 18 months with his wife and the three kids, cooking, cleaning, being "Mr. Mom". He said he enjoyed the break from the corporate world, but he and his wife fought incessantly. She made half what he did and once his severance ran out money got REAL tight. When their couple friends came to visit. the WOMEN would call him "house bitch"----not the guys. Women are wired by 225M years of "mammalian" programming to find a man who cannot protect or provide for them, and does not have more experience than they have, to unworthy of their respect. Respect is a key component of love. After years of seeing a man in a feminine role, she will no longer consider that man to be masculine.
    3
  4218. With too few soldiers and too little training for the ones they have, the effect of all this new weaponry is visibly diminishing. 15 of the 31 Abrams tanks destroyed in about 6 weeks of combat (and there is not a single video of an Abrams destroying any RU vehicle or equipment). The Abrams de-mining vehicle was abandoned when its sight was damaged; the crew could no longer see and were in a minefield so panicked and left the machine to be captured intact. RU just took a Bradley BFIST; a really high tech artillery spotting version of the Bradley, again almost intact---it was only missing a track. Guys like this are joining up at the worst possible time; when the lethality of their opponent is at its highest.
    3
  4219. Wow.
    3
  4220. I struggle to imagine a large city, in any country, at any point in history, where it was advisable to go stumbling around alone late at night half drunk. In 1830's London you would have been gutted like a fish just for your shoes...
    3
  4221. ?? NATO just changed the weapons restriction rules in place for 2+ years (their rules). They took off the restrictions; how is that not an "escalation"??? Be honest...."
    3
  4222. Just saw report this morning that Zelensky signed a law to allow foreigners to serve as officers in the UAF He long ago signed Ukraine's resources to the West, now he's even signing away what vestigial shreds of sovereignty Ukraine had left.... Unbelievable times we are living in; pure desperation in full view as we witness the beginning of the End
    3
  4223. Base model is $40K. Work harder...
    3
  4224. LOL. To do what? Take vids of the missiles as they fly by? There's like 300+ smoldering holes in the ground in Ukraine the past 48 hours......"
    3
  4225. This must be the "surprise for Putin" Vicky Nuland spoke of a couple weeks ago (just before she got fired). 😂
    3
  4226. ...only if you agree with them....
    3
  4227. Has won...
    3
  4228. Not to mention, for highly defended areas like Crimea, AFU has had to send 10 to ensure 1 or 2 hits since last summer. The Pantsir, Buk, and Tor all have storm shadow's number...."
    3
  4229. 2 years ago, uninformed NATO people expected Leopard/Abrams and Western tech in general to easily crush RU; there is no one even on the staunchest NATO side who still thinks that. What to expect? Mig-31BM is ready and waiting for F-16. They are both the same design vintage....late 1970s. However the Ukraine F-16s are ancient, most were headed for the scrap heap while this is a newest version of Mig-31. F-16 was designed to win close ACM; which Mig-31 was never designed to do. Mig-31 has much more powerful radar, much longer range AA missiles, much faster speed, and much more experienced pilots. The Ukraine F-16s will fall like leaves...."
    3
  4230. Yeah whatever, Putin not carving out "living space"; Russia has more land than any country on the earth. They are fighting not to be slaves to the US and UK. Keep it up, loser.
    3
  4231. What US weapons? Have you watched the videos of the battle the past few months? I've seen ONE US weapon---an MRAP burned out. I hear about Javelins being used, but that's it. Every vid of AFU from Bakhmut area the past month is old ass T-64 tanks, 155mm artillery, etc. The most advanced stuff they are using are drones and most of them are made in China. The reason they are losing is they DON'T HAVE US weapons.
    3
  4232. They have the Abrams M1150 mine clearing vehicle almost perfectly intact. It was hit by a drone disabling its optics and, unable to see, the Ukrainian crew abandoned it. While the Abrams basic design is 40 years old, the M1150 went operational in 2009 and is the US Army's current mine clearing platform; its not some "old junk we don't use anymore" like the Democrats always try to tell us. It has a plow that digs up mines, an automatic flag-planting attachment to mark where it has worked, and a rocket-assisted explosive charge that detonates mines out 150 meters in front of it. It is a highly capable machine that costs $15M each. That is America's front line stuff in Russian hands thanks to Joe Biden.

  4233. Looking at his car, and just the entrance to his house, this man is a multi-millionare. If you are that conspicuously wealthy almost anywhere, you are going to be a target. He clearly is aware of this, and prepared himself accordingly. I have a vacation home in another state. When I go there, I drive a beater and dress like a bum because I don't know the entire city that well and can't be 100% sure if I'm in a "high-risk" area or not. I try to blend in.
    3
  4234. Not our problem. Who cares if their government don't want them back? They not staying here!
    3
  4235. Voting DEM means voting for a world torn asunder, and blazing from end to end with the fires of war. Trump wins easy for me....
    3
  4236. That's what, now? Three to FPV drone, one to Kornet, and one to T-72B3?
    3
  4237. Bell left out the little tidbit that Russia this week moved an entire Army from Kupiansk sector to Tokmak sector. Before that, AFU had a 60K to 40K troop advantage in Orekhov sector; that is gone now. Along with their chances...
    3
  4238. My youngest is 13----he would be powerless against a grown woman like this. At first the man in me thinks "ahh, what's the harm, let the young kid learn by hammering the old lady", but the father in me thinks of my own child and how completely unprepared for something like this he'd be. She needs to get 10 years in prison but we all know she won't.
    3
  4239. They all look so well dressed,well fed, healthy pets, nice clothes... $3.9B of my tax money went there last week, but no help for me to send my daughter to Baylor since it costs $80K a year.... Is Biden my president or theirs??"

  4240. "Appear weak when you are strong, and strong when you are weak" -- Sun Tzu
    3
  4241. Just saw vid of Ukrainian border guards using drones with infra-red cameras, hunting down people on foot and in cars trying to leave the country to escape conscription. Ukraine is beginning to remind me a lot of Germany in the last months; still dangerous, but no realistic way to stop anyone for long, no air cover, low on fuel, ammo, and equipment, flinging younger and younger troops at the enemy, and at the top an ultra-nationalist that will not accept anything but victory.
    3
  4242. A lot less than the Democrats wasted on their Zelensky Adventure!!!
    3
  4243. "....feels like I'm driving a car at twice the price..." I had to stop there; I couldn't take it anymore. This is an Ad, not a "review". The idea a dressed up Hyundai feels like a $150K car is absurd...
    3
  4244. Putin may be losing influence in Africa, but it sure as hell aint to the benefit of NATO. China is absorbing all that newly-freed political capital. Now Prigozhin, he is DEFINITELY increasing influence in Africa. Wagner has a pretty good thing going there. We provide your administration security from threats both foreign AND domestic, in return Wagner becomes the go-between for corporate access to the vast resource wealth, at a fat fee structure of course.
    3
  4245. Yes, pretty soon Russia will have more Leopard 2s than Ukraine does.

  4250. Western media euphoria of past week starting to crack. Hard to hide evacuation from a city of 60,000....."
    3
  4251. No exile for Zelensky in the United States. Leave him in Ukraine to face his people and explain why he passed up 2 or 3 chances to end the war months ago.
    3
  4252. Why do all these American talking heads keep saying "we"???

  4254. A car is an expense, not an asset. Even a Porsche 911 will depreciate if you drive it a lot.
    3
  4255. Trump has to give Ukraine enough to survive the negotiations; RU will not stop during negotiations so they have to be able to just NOT collapse. Trump was going to do that anyway; these mineral rights is just payment for it.
    3
  4256. If nuclear weapons did not exist, Russia would still be immune from NATO invasion as no NATO country wants to suffer the casualties needed to subdue Russia. In the nuclear age, I have no idea where that "line" between conventional and nuclear is....no one else does either
    3
  4257. 7.89 a gallon? LMAO. When ours gets to 3.39 I get annoyed....was 3.19 today.
    3
  4258. Napolensky demanding Belarus pull back their troops so he can free up the ones he has up there to use where they can actually do some good. As long as Belarus has a credible threat up there, he can't move his troops so it is as if they don't exist. Just as planned......" 🤣
    3
  4259. He speaks as if he's no longer in charge. That call last week was Trump (and Musk) telling Zelensky his services were no longer needed. Trump fired him...
    3
  4260. YT should just shut down comments. I can't even post quotes from Donald Trump about his Ukraine Policy if he wins and YT delete it.....a direct quote..."
    3
  4261. We spend $900B a year on weapons, Russia spends $90B a year. They have fought us to a draw for 18 months. Something ain't right....
    3
  4262. They know that without the US, they stand no chance.
    3
  4263. India appears to be the only country acceptable to both sides fo mediate. The problem as usual, is the US/UK always wanting to give one more "game-changer" weapon to try to improve Ukraine's bargaining position, usually right when an agreement is close...."
    3
  4264. Putin should host the surrender ceremony on the Admiral Kuznetsov, even if they have to tow it......"
    3
  4265. Now that Russia knows Zaporizhzhia is the target, they will spend the winter making the whole area from Tokmak to Nikolske look like the surface of the second Death Star.
    3
  4266. The Axis sent THREE MILLION in that direction 80 years ago and still lost. Zelensky only sent 8 brigades with 8 more in reserve...."
    3
  4267. ...and Russia just froze $20B in EU assets 😂
    3
  4268. Crush them, Russia. Many Americans never wanted this proxy war and clearly see it was totally unnecessary.
    3
  4269. Zelensky just said yesterday "....if you don't give us 25 Patriot systems of 6/8 batteries each, we will lose the war..." That alone is more than $60B, so by his own words there is zero chance. Why would any sane American spend that money for zero chance at any improvement in the situation???
    3
  4270. Both sides are doing both. Got it?
    3
  4271. ...and why the fucc is South Korea running its mouth all of a sudden? They not in NATO, not an ally of Ukraine, not threatened by Russia, and the NK troops aren't opposing them. What is their skin in this game?
    3
  4272. Of course they change the rules for Ukraine; the UN is run by and for the benefit of the West and the West is at war via its client State Ukraine, with the Russian Federation. I mean NATO is paying all of Ukraine's public sector salaries, pensions, the Army, Police, Fire, etc. including politicians like Zelensky himself, meaning Zelensky is a puppet in fact. Russia knows it won't stop Zelensky from speaking, but their objection is now a matter of record and yet another example of Western hypocrisy. Russia always plays the long game....always...
    3
  4273. Anglo Saxons have believed themselves to be superior to Slavic peoples for 1500 years at least. It will take that long for them to acknowledge Russia is actually better than they are at anything...Putin is just speeding that process up a bit.
    3
  4274. Vids all over Telegram showing hundreds of semi trucks with Russian flags and Wagner insignia on a highway in Belarus a few hours ago. I guess Wagner took Lukashenko up on that offer of a training camp. Belarus shot down a Ukrainian drone today too; you don't need to work out for months to swell your muscles and intimidate your enemies. All you need is a friend with nukes willing to share, and 40,000 of the best shock troops on Earth to help protect them. 🙂
    3
  4275. Hahaha. They said "Ukraine would win by Spring". Now Spring is here and Russia is crushing Ukraine more than ever. Bakhmut is lost, the war is lost.
    3
  4276. 55 year old gun , made relevant by drone doing the targeting.
    3
  4277. Three Abrams wiped out in a week. Whatever it is Russia already knows about it and likely already has a counter
    3
  4278. A British national, father of two teenage boys, choosing to go off and fight in a war that has nothing to do with his country is madness. You can't sugarcoat it. He is no "hero" as his first duty as a father is to his children. He chose himself over his boys, and now he's dead robbing them of his love, wisdom, support. The younger, single men with no kids, fine.
    3
  4279. These DEM shills and their "immigrants are good" propaganda. Yeah legal immigrants are great; we all love them.
    3
  4280. Just two months ago, US and UK reporters "embedded" with some AFU unit, entered Russia with no visa, no passport, no consular permission at all. Yet, here's the US and UK whining loudly about Russia allowing North Korean soldiers into their own sovereign country. The arrogance of the US is astounding, almost unbelievable. Imagine if Cuba invaded Miami, and Jamaican reporters "embedded" with their military units just rode along into the US with them because "hey its cool to cover the invasion of the United States!"
    3
  4281. Ukrainian Nationalists tried this in 1941 too. At first it seemed like everything was going to work out their way, but then the Russians did not break and the tides of war turned against them. 80 years later they are trying again; and again, initially it looked like everything was going to work out their way, but again Russia did not break.

  4282. If that were a bunch of Iranian officers or Hamas guys, Israel would have used a 2000 lb. JDAM and there would not even be a building left. Just sayin...

  4283. Every car meet you've ever been everyone has the hood up showing off their engine, from stock to the wildest end of the spectrum. That infinite number of possibilities, all reflecting individual creativity, is why we love car meets or shows. No EV will ever be able to compete with that level of customization as any changes are in software, nothing that can be seen or heard. It cannot possibly be the same on that level. I'm sure this car will do its job, but I feel nothing.

  4284. The average IQ of the residents of Nevada is about 75. I came to this conclusion in 2002 when I first visited there. This was long before California people started moving there; the population was basically workers on the Strip, government employees, and the lowest form of servile wyte desert-dwellers one could imagine. I think the recent influx of California people has made it even worse...

  4285. Schizophrenia is no joke. I can't imagine how dangerous a mentally ill military officer could be; just teenage boys who are seeing and hearing things can be outright deadly.

  4286. LOL. Appropriate response. Don't agree with Putin's economic beliefs but I respect him for one thing: He, more than anyone else on Earth, refuses to bow down to the United States. He'd rather die on his feet, than live on his knees as a NATO lapdog. That's my kind of guy; bow to no one.

  4288. Laughing at all these "woke" Millennials and Z'ers saying garbage about American life 50 years ago. I'm 48 and life was 10x better in 1983 than this ishtstorm we call "living" right now. Human civilization is 20,000 years old or more and the old rules are old for a reason. Brook Shields benefitted from the rule: Pretty gets to choose. Still 100% true right this very moment.

  4289. GM design lately is great; their SUVs are the perfect blend of style and toughness. However, this turbo 4 thing just doesn't have me convinced yet. I have a 2012 Enclave and the 3.6 is at 180K miles and still idles smooth as butter. I just don't believe a turbo 4 will last that long. I'd like to try this because it seems the power and mpgs are there, but I just don't have faith in the longevity, especially when I load up the family and drive up the IKE near Denver in winter. The Enclave barely does that so I'd have to see someone load this up and do something like that before I'd risk buying it. Great review!

  4292. It seems as if the only way NATO will learn to mind its own business is to be taught a harsh lesson. It isn't 1963; it is 2023 and subject nations are servile no more. NATO is like a fallen Empire that doesn't yet realize its peak is behind it. So it thrashes about wildly, threatening and fighting everywhere at once with no strategy other than to try to bend to its will those who will no longer be cowed.

  4301. I had a 1990 in college in 1993. 175hp, electronic suspension, manual trans = I'd keep up with Camaros and 'Stangs on I-65 and they'd look over at me in surprise. Fast, fun, well built car that really had no downsides.

  4303. "New approach" indeed. This is shaping up to be the greatest military disaster since Gallipoli. The Biden Administration bungling of the Afghanistan exit was a warning to us all that we failed to heed: Dont let Biden or his gaggle of Far Left "world changers" like Blinken, Nuland, and Austin anywhere near the levers of power!

  4304. Sky is hliarious. Video from a drone over Bakhmut yesterday shows a completely quiet moonscape; not a single gunshot, shell, or rocket explosion. Totally quiet, with a few wisps of white smoke still wafting from where the Ukraine Army used to be. Utterly still. Ready for redevelopment and gentrification. 🙂

  4305. The Polestar 2 weighs over 500lbs more than the M3P, reflecting its much higher quality of materials and construction----that is every bit worth the $5K increase in price. Some people like cheap and fast (Ford Mustang has been that for 40 years); others prefer much higher quality. However all this is academic as EVs are ridiculously expensive compared to gas cars; you say "oh this rides and sounds like a $60K gas car". No, it doesn't. $60K gets you a Caddy XT6 with Semi-Aniline leather, adaptive suspension, HUD, tech pkg, room for 7, etc. the list goes on. EVs are not rational purchases yet in the US as gas prices are low here; makes a lot more sense in Europe.

  4308. Once China enters the US market with a million different EVs in all shapes and sizes for half the price of a Tesla or Big Three (and 1/3 rd the price of the Germans), it'll be over for US auto manufacturing. Also, now that carbon neutral fuel basically just needs to be refined at scale and sold in place of regular gasoline, you can drive your ICE car and not have to rip out 100 years of infrastructure to replace it with electric. Just put in the EV stuff as you go, while others drive the cars using carbon neutral fuel. No biggie.

  4312. Just saw report this morning that Zelensky signed a law to allow foreigners to serve as officers in the UAF He long ago signed Ukraine's resources to the West, now he's even signing away what vestigial shreds of sovereignty Ukraine had left.... Unbelievable times we are living in; pure desperation in full view as we witness the beginning of the End

  4313. F-16 is 46 year old design with no stealth. Russia's Su-35 top guns will wipe the skies with ease of F-16s whose pilots just learned a few months ago how to land.

  4314. Ukraine couldn't possibly have more than 50 operational aircraft at this point. When was the last time they fired a Storm Shadow? Three weeks ago?

  4315. Its only when the isht hits the fan that you find out who your real friends are. When everyone is young, healthy, pretty and there's a million dollar trust fund to draw from relationships and marriages are easy. When people age, get sick, or money gets tight most will flee; only the few that remain are your true partners. Same is true among relations between Nations or Empires. Germany NEVER wanted this war-----they were pushed into it by the United States (who cemented this by bombing Nordstream). Poland, as vanguard against a Bear now blind with rage for a generation to come, will be first to feel the tide of Vengeance in the future and they know it.

  4316. I don't even off road AT ALL, but this thing is cool! I actually prefer the 90 and its chunky, look-how-tough-I-am spec. The inline six making 400hp is more than anyone really needs, but if you have the money and put that monster SC V8 in this thing you basically are driving the "cool people" car of the moment.
    3
  4317. This is the current strat since the "Grand Spring Offensive" has failed grandly. However, fear not for a boring Autumn, because word is Ukraine's US/British Overlords are prepping them for another try before winter sets in. Abrams have been rushed and the news says September (which means they are probably being loaded a this very moment). Also, there's some chatter about a better air defense system also to deal with the Ka-52/Mi-28 that have shredded NATO armor with ease while sitting far back in total safety.
    3
  4318. This was reported a week ago on Military Summary. Most ATACMS were shot down but a few got through to the airbase in Crimea. At least one S-400 system was destroyed, and some planes were damaged (SU-30 and SU-24). Zelensky was very proud of it and spoke highly of it the next morning. Of course, the next night RU sent twice as many Tornado-S to Ukraine and this was the spectacular wipeout of many Mig-29s where we could clearly see the airburst of the cluster warhead taking out Migs and the S-300 guarding the base. Zelensky was quiet about this one though....

  4319. The "unofficial" West media here says Biden plan now is just "preserve" whats left of Ukraine and build it up over time economically and militarily. To me that means they gonna have to talk to Putin eventually

  4321. Over 6300 comments, 6200 of which is the typical "they can't think for themselves" , "they are under the mind-control of their leader". 700 years and Europeans still consider themselves so superior to Slavs, that even when the people say out loud how they feel, the Europeans don't believe it. As if Slavs are like bees that are unable to do anything other than what the queen directs them to....."

  4323. AFU fired 10 storm shadow missiles and several drones at Crimea two nights ago. Russia has over 50 Pantsir-S1 systems in Crimea alone (benefit of making your own military equipment). That is literally 600+ anti-aircraft missiles covering an area less than 1/20th the size of Ukraine. You didn't hear about it on CNN or BBC because every single storm shadow was splashed. Zelensky was so jealous...

  4329. Sure, $100K is a ton of money but as long as you actually get $100K worth of whatever you bought, it is a good "value", correct? From what I've read, Stellantis didn't cheap out on the Wagoneer. The tech, the materials, the hardware underneath is top notch. Same is true for the RAM TRX and that thing will NEVER depreciate much. Same is probably true for Wagoneer since even a 20 year old vehicle that can tow 10,000 lbs safely will always have significant value. The days of Dodge/Chrysler and all the lowest-bidder parts underneath are long over. Once FCA came in with their global supply chain with ZF, Bosch, Brembo, etc. Dodge finally stopped being a joke.

  4330. I learned my lesson in Florida real estate in 2008. I had already learned the "no condo" rule in another State, so I had a townhouse and a SFR. Both got their value cut in half, but it was really the squatting that was my biggest problem. I now only invest in FL real estate if the house is right next door to mine...."

  4331. I have a 2017 Giulia Ti with now 90,000 miles on it. I bought it two years old with 23,000 miles for $26K. I've replaced only the A/C compressor. I've only replaced the battery once; and it is true...I started getting all these warning lights and they all went away with a new battery. When voltage gets low, the car shuts off non-critical subsystems to preserve voltage for the battery #1 job---starting the car. About six months ago at 85K miles I got the well known worn wastegate actuator problem; you'll get underboost conditions that randomly put you in limp mode. Solution is new turbo (even though the turbo itself is fine). You can find hack solutions online but on the forums I learned that if you simply drive it in manual mode to keep the rpms up, the car rarely needs to transition from low boost to high boost and the actuator issue never occurs. I've been driving it in manual mode exclusively now for three months, the code has not come back, and I love driving her now more than I ever did before. That's an Alfa Romeo story if ever there was one.😃

  4342. Western Media simply retransmits propaganda directly from the Ukrainian MoD without even a shred of "journalism" at all. Been that way the whole war.
    3
  4343. This morning I just thought "Russia getting payback for the landing ship attack". I don't believe that anymore; the reports all day of the scale of this means there is NO way it could have been arranged in two days. The target selection and missile programming alone would have taken weeks to put almost 200 missiles and drones in the sky, from ships, subs, land launchers, and bombers. This is something else. Probably the beginning of the "Shock and Awe" air campaign to end the war. Imagine this happening every week for the next two months. By February Ukraine's entire logistic, tactical and strategic structure to support their war effort will have been annihilated.

  4348. At least these soldiers get the dignity of being publicly named and repatriated with military honors. I've always wondered about all our soldiers killed in Ukraine that "aren't supposed to be there". When they are repatriated do they get full military honors in secret and their families just told "they died serving their country in a way we cannot discuss"??

  4354. It is the tree-hugging climate people that caused it. 25 years ago, Benz didn't hardly care about the fuel economy of its V8 engines; if you could afford it, you could afford the gas. So the engine was built like a tank, weighed what it weighed, and no one complained. Same for BMW and Audi. Fast forward to about 2010, and the "EV Apocalypse" nuts finally reached critical mass and started changing laws everywhere. Now, emissions became the #1 priority, and today German cars destroy their competitors in engine efficiency and mpg. However, there was a price to be paid. I have a 2021 Audi A4 and while I love the car, tbh the "efficiency" features built into it drive me absolutely insane. NO remote start. It won't idle more than 2 minutes without shutting off. Stop at a light and it shuts off 2 seconds after you come to a halt. It is INSANE the degree to which the DAM thing is trying reduce emissions. STOP IT!

Of course the German and Italian will run rings around this dynamically, but that doesn't matter to those who buy these. All Hyundai buyers want is a soft cushy ride, some nice leather (since they've never had that before in their car), and a low price. This will sell quite well I'm sure.

I tell friends (who mostly don't believe me) that Audi----as long as you stick with the 4-cylinder engine option---is the Lexus of German auto industry. The 6-cylinder is not a bad choice, but you will pay dearly for it. I don't personally care for the looks of this new generation, but the bones are above reproach.

In a time when my jaw drops whenever you say the price, $68K didn't make me spew my Coke.

  4388. It just confirms that which is now inescapable: Russia now has the initiative and NATO is no longer in control of the narrative. The West scrambles to react while Russia prepares its next moves after taking Artemovsk. Putin today said "no frozen war"; the Korea-like stalemate some in the US have been talking about this week. Why would he stop and "freeze" the war? He is winning...

  4390. A turning point has been reached: Today the Telegraph (among the most determined Russia-haters and Ukraine apologists in the media), ran a story: "Russia’s army is learning - here’s why it should worry the West". These warmongering a-holes are finally realizing they can't beat Russia on the cheap. Too bad a million had to be lost for them to finally understand.

    3
  4401. We can't see it, but to me its effects prove it is there. Russia must have some major-grade full spectrum Electronic Warfare assets all around Avdiivka. AFU has no shortage of FPV drones, but you hardly see any strikes all around the city (in areas which should be well in range of FPV drones). AFU is a TikTok army----they waste no time in posting their success on social media; if you don't see many posts of success, that means they are not having much success. No FPV drones, no GPS-guided bombs, no starlink service = No chance for AFU.
    3
  4402. An Amazon Delivery drone, big enough to carry heavy packages, but instead of a PS5 and a 4K TV, it carries an anti-tank missile. You are correct; in 2 years ALL the fighting will be done by drone.

    3
  4405. I counted 12 brigades of AFU on each side of the Kursk salient. There are more brigades on ONE side of Kursk front than inside or near Velya Novosilka. Russia has to move deeper into Ukraine to flank that bulge, to advance where they are now against dug in AFU means they'd lose 3 troops for every Ukrainian loss. Zelensky pours more in no matter how many are lost because to him it is priority #1 before the ceasefire that he has a strong position on something Russia wants

  4408. Why "should" he? The US is not at war with Russia (yet), so whether an American supports it or not has nothing at all to do with "patriotism". If Ukraine turned all the Coca-Cola trucks in their country into truck bombs and sent them charging at Russian lines, I'm 100% certain the company would not be thrilled at all with that.

  4411. Shops near me have arrangements with local tow guys and if you are within 10 miles or so they'll come get your car for maybe $80 tops; one shop will get it "free" if you do the repair with them. A few years back I tried to do the trans service on a my 2011 Jag XJ and I got it all off and buttoned up and started refilling it when I saw a leak from ONE (of 20!) tray bolts. Tried to tighten and the thing snapped right off. Called the shop "come get it!" 🙂 That's when I learned NEVER buy parts off ebay.....maybe a light fixture or interior part you can get away with, but serious critical parts? No way. Cheap isht from China-----don't bother.

  4412. Why would he? Russia is stomping them now even with Biden giving them billions, Harris just gonna do the same. Take it all Russia, take it for the family

  4413. I did not know there was a policy that the father in a family had to leave for a family to remain in public housing. This at a time when women had nowhere near the opportunities for careers they have today. Who ever thought that was a good idea??

  4415. Ahh SKY noticed? Every reader of non-Western media knew Russia had not even used most of its reservists called up in September. They just waiting for the right moment to strike is all. Unlike Ukraine's feeble failed "offensive", when the Russian steamroller starts no one will still be wondering if it had begun a week later.

  4416. Was Ukraine sending terrorists to shell hotels and houses in Belgorod last week a "war crime"?

  4418. Selydove fell to Russia yesterday; only took 19 days from start to finish. Video from the city shows buildings still perfectly intact; Russia didn't even have to bombard it much....just surround it and AFU had to leave or be captured. Ukraine cities and towns to the East of the Dnipro are falling like leaves now....Russia is on the cusp of Ukraine's undefended interior.

  4419.  @Temakevi-z3r  Have you noticed? RU doesn't need troops, but your guys do. Good luck! You'll need it! 😀

  4422. How is your boss Budanov doing? Out of the coma yet?
    3
  4423. Three months, 50K+ causalties, 70 Bradleys lost, thousands of other vehicles and artillery to move forward 8 kilometers. Winter is coming, and now that Russia knows for sure where NATO wants AFU to go, they'll pour even more defensive resources into Zaphorizhzhia over the next 6 months. By next Spring, the land between Tokmak and Novo-Mikhaylovka will look like the surface of the second Death Star.

  4427. California really is another country. Every benefit you document has nothing to do with the vehicle itself, but in how it navigates the Byzantine regulatory environment of that State. You should move somewhere else where you can be Free...

  4428. Russia has beaten every American weapon other than Abrams, Apache, F-22, and F-35; it is easier to write that way as the list of systems they defeated is so long. Russia has not even used T-14 or Su-57, and after what we've seen i believe those could fight Americas best to a draw. If US cant beat Russia, no one can.

  4429. So about 700 EVs and 650 gas cars then??

  4435. They didn't need it anyway.... Germany was getting most of it.

  4436. Does Ukraine have any officers that actually went Military Academy or have those men all long ago been KIA or seriously wounded? All year long they walk into trap, after trap, after trap; whenever they see two enemy pincers form, they send their entire army into it. Bakhmut, Zaporizhzhia, now Donetsk.... Zelensky is 45; he is old enough to have at least watched "History Channel" while growing up. I hear he's just about had it with Zaluzhny.

  4439. Make no mistake, what happened yesterday has heads shaking in Ukraine and NATO. Poland is in anguish at how a Russian missile flew into their territory and nothing they had even fired at it.

  4449. Hmmm, let's see: France tapped out, Italy tapped out, Poland tapped out, Hungary tapped out, most of the rest have only pennies to give. That leaves the three biggest countries continuing to pour fuel on this fire: United States, Britain, and Germany. The exact same three countries that really wanted to fucc Russia 80 years ago. What a coincidence!!" 🤣🤣🤣
    3
  4450. I hope they are also taking some measure of responsibility. They would if Ukraine were to win; so they must also if Ukraine does not. All this is academic now....Russia has a massive advantage in every statistical category and logistics wins wars. Unless some divine intervention occurs, from now on we are in the formality phase. Just as in 1944, once the steamroller starts, there is no stopping it.

  4451. I heard you can now order your swastika factory-painted on Teslas; no need to add them aftermarket. Is that true?

  4452. Ukraine signed the usage restrictions to get the NATO weapons for free. No one made them do so...

  4453. I heard half of them deserted before they even deployed

  4454. This whole thing could have ended in 3/2022 , saving a million lives but neither side trusted the other as far as they could throw them. Two years later and nothing has changed...
    3
  4455. Something isn't right. In just the past two months Ukraine has suffered at the lowest end 30,000 casualties. Even if you cut that in half, that is a monstrous number....as the annual rate is over 85,000. That is more men than Ukraine currently has deployed.
    3
  4456. Lviv is only 40 miles from Polish border and has a lot of infrastructure and industry, as only the longest range RU weapons can reach it.
    3
  4457. I think the balance between armored vehicle and FPV drone has returned to even or possibly back in favor of the armored vehicle. I've noticed over the past several months many vehicles from both sides, not just tanks but IFVs and MRAPs too, tanking multiple hits from FPV drones and going right on. Even if they are damaged and stop, all six guys get out unharmed. Very recently I noticed many FPV drone vids they are almost exclusively trying to attack from the front and sides; to the rear, the slats, the ERA, the chains, the rebar, the cage with rubber panels, etc. is really making it difficult for the FPV drone's rather small shaped-charge to deal a critical blow. Of course the front and sides are the strongest part of any tank or armored vehicle directly from the factory. I've seen Bradley's and BMPs just driving right through 3 or 4 hits and dropping of their load....

  4458. Hopefully UK citizens that voted for Tories accept the loss with dignity as is expected in a Democracy. Unlike France which is on the verge of Civil War by the Far Left who are angry Democracy didn't produce the desired result for them...

  4459. LOL. Scott Ritter said months ago that Russia "had prepared for the Ukraine war to last up to 30 months".

  4460. As soon as I saw Prigozhin make that public statement to Zelensky, I thought "He's goading Zelensky into sending more men in just so Russians can chew them up". Seems to have worked.

  4461. Lol, his "Russian territory" is like an ice cube on the counter.... shrinking by the second 😂

  4462. Training on drones. They can stay back in safety controlling drones that will spearhead the way for the steamroller. Smart
    3
  4463. Yes. However it isn't necessarily a deliberate failure (imho); EU Military is built for "Star Wars" and Ukraine needs weapons for WW1. In the time it will take for US/EU to pivot fully, Russia will either win the war outright or already have all the land it wanted anyway.
    3
  4464. A few months ago, their production rate of T-90M began to exceed the rate of refurbishing T-72B3M; they were up to 100 T-90Ms per month. It isn't just the numbers; like any country their industry adapts. Tanks built in 2023 don't have the same anti-drone features as tanks built in 2024. The T-72B3M knocked out an Abrams last month. Just last week we saw a T-90M take a Javelin hit and keep going on like nothing happened. Tanks will never be a problem for RU in this war...

  4469. Just like with the Lexus IS, nobody is putting money into sedans anymore except the Germans. All that "old" tech (in what Universe are clear round dials on a sporty car considered old?) means it will still be working and looking good in 2035. At $42K this is a steal. Rates are rising and all the people pulling double shifts at Amazon to pay for a M3P or Hellcat at $65K are going to soon be starved out of existence and sanity will return. Not to mention this has little of the privacy-destroying tech features being stuffed into newer designs.

  4470. Israel: Over 100 top quality fighter planes, including the F-35, owned by just 7 million people. Ukraine: Never more than about 50 or 60 operational ancient Soviet-bloc or Western castoff planes diverted to them from the scrapyard, owned by 40 million people. Napolensky watches this with jealous rage....."
    3
  4471. BBC/SKY/CNN all raving today about how the loss of this third bridge means Russian troops are "cut off", and "can only use pontoon bridges" which "can't support heavy tanks". Yes, tanks like the fat NATO pigs such as Challenger 2. Not, the T-72 or the even lighter T-90M or the downright svelte T-80BV (which is an astounding 30 TONS lighter than a Challenger 2). These are military experts and they get on there and says nonsense for 2+ years running..."
    3
  4472. There are people who don't want this to work, not because it won't help, but because undermining the Western economic hegemony, built on and sustained primarily by oil and gas, is their true desire .

  4474. It won't "wind down" in Kursk area. This is Ukraine's Operation Ten-Go; Charge of the Light Brigade; find the historical reference you wish. Zelensky has sent everything America and EU gave him this past Spring. Victory or---well---you, know...."
    3
  4475. The biggest surprise to me was NONE OF THE PEOPLE OF SYRIA FOUGHT BACK. The US Army could not hold New York City if ALL 8 MILLION RESIDENTS COME OUT AND HUG AND KISS WHOEVER THE INVADERS ARE! If Syira's army had made any kind of stand anywhere, they would have probably beaten HTS because Russian controlled the sky; but air force cannot win wars alone.
    3
  4476. Ya'll know in the context of his point "....let's put her with a rifle with nine others pointing back at her..." is an obvious reference to the Dems starting wars that other people fight; why don't Dems fight the wars they desire so much? Fake outrage over an excellent political point.
    3
  4477. Putin focusing on "demilitarizing" all the Polish, German, Brit, and American mercenaries in Ukraine. Like the 100 wiped out in the Odessa hotel a few days back. Perfect strategy as these fux have no business being there. I wish the United States had a leader like Putin; one that ALWAYS puts his country first.
    3
  4478. Germany has lost FIVE-HUNDRED BILLION dollars so far the past year due to the energy impact. Some manufacturers are making plans to leave Germany due to the future uncertainty and cost of the energy situation. Russia's economy in 2023 will grow more than Germany's will.

  4482. AFU does not seem to bother using anti-drone cages over their Leopard 2s, and every vid I've seen the past few weeks the Russians target the rear turret when attacking Leopard 2. Is that a weak spot?

  4483. In 1984 I read "2010: Odyssey Two" by Arthur C. Clarke, the sequel to "2001: A space Odyssey". In the book the year is 2010 and the world is on the verge of global war (surprise), and the combatants are the US and China, and at one point he mentions a Chinese supercarrier in a battle with the US Navy. In 1984 I found that just as fantastic as the alien life on Europa. Yet, here I am living and the Chinese do, in fact, have (multiple) supercarriers. No life found on Europa yet but after what has already happened I fully expect it to be...."

  4485. Where do these Western elites come up with this stuff??? Just yesterday big ruckus in Ukraine papers because of how many marines they lost in Krinky for no military reason. Then the Indian news site played Putin's response about Krinky from 6 months ago "...I don't understand what the Kyiv Regime is trying to do there, I told my generals don't be in a hurry to push them out of there...." Putin is the most relaxed man on the planet right now..."

  4486. I'm sure the UK is adapting to the lessons of the Ukraine war; they have to be. Even the latest version of the T-90M Proryv has been seen with a manufacturer-designed anti-drone protective assembly that is fully integrated with the tank. Just because we haven't seen the UK adapt this tank to the lessons from Ukraine doesn't mean they aren't hard at work on doing so. They'd be crazy if they weren't

  4487. How would they get raw materials with no port? How would they pay for it with no economy? How could they produce it with Russia owning their sky?
    3
  4488. US intelligence won't admit it publicly, but the rumor mill says they realize the war is lost and Russia has won. Just read between the lines. Biden is sending 30 or so Abrams and no ATACMS. Does that sound like enough to win a battle let alone a war?
    3
  4489. They are doing it alone because they were told from birth that marriage and a proper family is a "prison" and they should be "free".
    3
  4490. Polish PM just admitted "...many NATO troops in Ukraine". Is this the first battle of the real war? No more pretending this is Ukraine's war?
    3
  4491. NATO knows this all along, the weapons are to give Ukraine a better position, thats all.
    3
  4492. Russia will keep the 400 airliners from EU carriers stranded in Russia two years ago. Worth about $100B
    3
  4493. You have to be insane if you are Ukrainian citizen to be anywhere near military officers or NATO personnel. If you are at any restaurant, hotel, store, theater...anything where you know foreigners gather or you see AFU officers/soldiers gathered, you should leave immediately. Ukraine intelligence said last week the debris from the Kh-22's that hit Dnipro show the missiles were manufactured in 2023. The war factories 2000 miles away in Siberia have been running day and night since 2022. Russia has enough drones to send them after groups of 5 soldiers or less, enough missiles to drop any hotel with NATO personnel. The ones that survive the war are the ones that "win".

  4501. You can be sure, whatever Israel needs, the US will give it to them for free. Iran must understand that if their response is too big, the Israeli's and US will use it as a pretext to take out Natanz and Bushehr (which is what the US has wanted to do for a decade).
    3
  4502. Ten years of Ukraine lobbing shells into a city, clearly shooting at civilians, that VOTED to be part of the Russian Federation, and US/UK considers Ukraine the "good guys". That is Israeli logic....
    3
  4503. USA and Russia have kept to the "proxy war rules" for two years now; Russia certainly knows many AFU attacks had US/UK help but has so far stuck to the rules. Why does Iran not get the benefit of the "proxy war rules"?

  4504. Crazy to think I built a model of this thing in 1980 when I was 8; mine looked just like that one, same color, fuel tanks, etc. I can't describe to all you born after what it was like. General Dynamics built what to us in 1980 was a spaceship. It is still a beautiful plane; so sad to see it defiled by being given to this beggar nation run by a comedian and a few nationalist Azov types....."
    3
  4505. I respect the amount of speculation you use in your summaries, most of which, whether they turn out to be true or not, have valid reasoning behind them. However this idea that Russia has limited means of deploying FAB-3000 bombs is highly suspect. RU have almost 500 Tu-22 bombers, which can carry 50,000+ lbs. of weapons. So far, they only use them to launch cruise missiles but the standoff range of the FABs should allow them to do so as well. Tu-22 is no slouch; it can release and turn-n-burn just as well as a Su-34 so I'm not yet convinced there is any limit to where a FAB-3000 can show up.

  4506. M340i is the standard by which all are judged in the class with good reason. However, just the other day I was driving to work and I saw a 2003 TL Type-S go by. That's it. That's the difference between the M340i and the TLX Type-S. Only one of them will still be running in 2043.....the Acura.

  4514. If you are not an off-roader, this is a total waste of your money; you are spending coin for things you'll never use. For road use only, a $53K Buick Enclave Avenir utterly destroys this in every way (or get the Traverse High Country 4WD and save $3K). Those can tow 5.000lb and if you really need to tow 8,000lb, you 'aint buying any of these anyway.
    3
  4515. ...and like clockwork Zelensky (for like the 6th time in a week) demanding Western countries give him long range missiles. Which won't solve the problem, only lengthen the war and increase its lethality. Do we have ANY adults in leadership in the US or EU?? Anyone who will say "ENOUGH"?? In 2015 President Obama refused to arm Ukraine to fight a war with Russia because he believed it had only one outcome: Ukraine's destruction. He was right, but Biden didn't listen to the wisdom of his predecessor...."

  4525. There is literally NO sector as of today where Ukraine has made a "breakthrough". NONE. If anything it is Russia who just make a breakthrough north of Bakhmut.

  4526. "Advancing" = taking a few hundred meters of empty land and abandoned farms at enormous cost of losses in men and NATO equipment. Russians just letting them move into the steel rain "meat grinder"

  4529. A squeaker of a win won't do; I voted Trump and I pray he wins by enough of a margin that there is no question of the Will of The People. We do not want Global War. We do not want mass illegal immigration. We want our Government to put us first, not foreigners.

We too, didn't realize being able connect with 8 billion people in real-time was a bad idea; initially it looked like a good idea. Ok we were all wrong, time to act. Giving your child access to social media is like giving your child a fire hose of raw sewage and allowing them to point it at their face 24/7. You wouldn't do that, would you?

  4532. When I was a child, every chip in all my video games, my computer, my brother's computer, our calculators were all made in either Sunnyvale, CA or Richardson, TX. Those devices were built like tanks; really heavy as the chips were huge by modern standards. But even by 1988, TI, Intel, Motorola all could not build enough in their own fabs; they had to outsource the fabrication of chips to 3rd parties to keep up with demand and that was the beginning of the end for US domestic chip production.

  4533. Just seeing this guy's face is starting to negatively affect my mood. I'm starting to feel like the Polish farmers with the signs begging Putin to come solve their problem.
    3
  4534. Good. See, EU can find money once the US stops sending ours. Let them keep Ukraine afloat; Russia more a threat to them than to America.
    3
  4535. Glad the innocent driver survived. On another note; gawd dayum Peyton Yager is an absolute knockout of a babe!
    3
  4536. You really cannot make this stuff up. Poland now feels "insecure" because hostile missiles are closer to them, and wants big daddy US to make it all better? Hmmm, this whole war started because Russia too felt "insecure" at the prospect of Ukraine joining NATO and big daddy US putting its missiles closer to them. What is the difference?
    3
  4537. Yes, but it is purely symbolic. Even that warmonger Blinken admits "they won't affect the outcome of this offensive, and will only allow Ukraine to establish local air superiority over Kyiv's skies". Russia is more annoyed than afraid: 24 planes the Danes were retiring next year anyway, plus 18 more that have been up for sale for years. 42 planes like so many 2012 Kias on a cheap car lot. Against 800 Su-27s, Su-30s, and Su-35s. Ummm, yeah....ok. Another "game changer" burning on the Steppe like all the others before it ..

  4538. True, there are many Abrams tanks keeping the growing summer wheat company....

  4540. United States don't even have one hypersonic weapon.
    3
  4541. Germany today voted against sending Taurus missile to Ukraine 52% to 48%. No more. Not only do they not want to see their best missile on display in Moscow, they know it won't make a GDF'ing bit of difference in the outcome.

  4542. How the hell are we paying all of Ukraines public sector salaries and pensions?? Where the hell did Congress approve that?

  4543. Or they like big sedans that drive like Formula One cars?? Is "poser" just "someone else has more money than me" for you???

  4544. "Nuclear cooperation that will last generations" No, that's not aimed at NATO at all....
    3
  4545. LOL! Yeah they nuked my first comment too 🙂

  4546. Sorry for those lost. Plane was in free-fall, no forward momentum. A double engine failure is extremely rare...
    3
  4547. Russia already won this war, now the focus is on winning the peace
    3
  4548. I'm 48 and never before in my life has NATO been this publicly aggressive and hostile. I don't recall anyone attacking any of their members in recent years, but here they are threatening nations on every continent. "Defensive only" is now a joke....like "game changer"
    3
  4549. Why does Ukraine "need help" to become a forward operating base for the US and UK to put missiles in Mariupol and warships in the Sea of Azov??? WHY IS THAT SO IMPORTANT TO NATO??"
    3
  4550. Too bad he didn't show such backbone to his NATO masters a year ago when they could have negotiated an end to the war. Biden and Johnson told them "no, you cannot make peace with Russia, because then we don't get what we really want. Go forth and fight." Like good little pups, they obeyed and now look at them; 400,000 casualties and they now sending 71 year old men for NATO training.
    3
  4551. You will always wish you'd bought a BMW or Audi so why even bother with this? Life is short; get the real thing.
    3
  4552. Yep, no offensive movement by Ukraine toward Verbove now since the 22nd. Most military bloggers figure they are going to use the Abrams to bulk up for one more big attempt through Robotyne before the mud. I almost feel bad for them----they are going to do a 2023 version of "Charge of the Light Brigade", with similar results. Tokmak is already a fortress bristling with every weapon imaginable and drones thick as flies constantly watching everything in the sector. Can you imagine what it will be like six months from now since the Russians know for sure its the target? By next June Tokmak will look like the surface of the Death Star.
    3
  4553. Because he is the victim ?? Geeze, victim-shame much?
    3
  4554. Hasn't the myth of "Western Wunderwaffe" been debunked?? Months of training vs. years means instant death. Leopard 2s and Bradleys with men with four months training were smashed vs. men with four years of training. Sigh...seems another lesson must be learned: Russia's Su-27 top guns with years of combat experience will feast upon the Ukrainian pilots who just learned how to land their F-16 a month before.
    3
  4555. Pretty much confirms (as if I needed it) who blew up the Kakhovka Dam. Ukraine knew it wanted to attack through Zaporizhzhia (the shortest path to the Sea of Azov), but if they threw their (only offensive) army there, they would be weak and open to a devastating counter through Kherson. They blew it up so no one could attack through there; mean nothing to them as they weren't going to anyway.
    3
  4556. Where are the 1000 North Korean casualties? Ukraine told CNN this

  4557. This is basically the Russian version of the Jan. 6th attack on the US Capitol

  4558. Easy time is over. Lancet took out a Challenger 2 already; and AFU's "bulge" has barely increased in size the past three days. The Bear is up and awake now-----time to slap some salmon..."

  4560. We can repair it! Yes with another tank. Lol

  4561. Ukraine has lost almost half a million soldiers since the beginning of the special military operation in 2022, Russian Defence Ministry Sergei Shoigu said on Tuesday. Not wounded....KIA.

  4562. No drone could travel that far. That was an attack by saboteurs inside Russia.

  4563. CAFE
    3
  4564. 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.
    3
  4565. We here in the US just voted two weeks ago for de-escalation and we won. So there is A LOT of consternation on the Conservative side of the political divide as to just What the Hell Biden is trying to accomplish here (other than leaving a 💩sandwich for Trump, that is).
    3
  4566. The media is so puzzling to me on this war. Its like there is one subset of facts the media will "acknowledge" in all its reporting, but then there is the total set of facts, and if you are aware of the latter, the former leaves you feeling like "why are they asking such a question?" For over two years Russia has bombed bases, HQs, hotels, etc. with NATO troops openly present. Remember the infamous S-300 strike on the pizza cafe or the drone show last year?? Why DW even asking if RU will bomb NATO troops in Ukraine?
    3
  4567. IKR. First thought when I read his words were "the F-16 is older than the Mig-29!" LOL.
    3
  4568. Whoa? Did I stumble into the "Girl Haters Club of America" chat room??? My problem with Harris is the same I had with Biden (WW3, border, student loans, etc.)....you know, issues . There's like 170 comments in here from the Incel crowd...."
    3
  4569. So far, RU has not responded to the NATO escalation of allowing all their equipment to attack Russian soil. I pray our leaders are not so foolish to believe there won't be a responding escalation by Russia...." With these civilian bridges being destroyed by weapons where there is no doubt of their origin (and RU diplomats making a very public stink about it at the UN), they are laying the groundwork on the diplomatic front for something new on the military front. We shall all be witness...."
    3
  4570.  @FrankWichert-c4v  Don't the people in Crimea and the Republics have the same right to "self-determination". We are in year THREE of them voting to be part of the Russian Federation. Every time that is mentioned, the West just ignores them.
    3
  4571. Like which? Name another country that will have the same "fate"
    3
  4572. Oh, I dunno...maybe trying to avoid many Western and Russian cities looking like a "Redwing Tewa" test site???"
    3
  4573. The USSR fell over 30 years ago and Russia fell with it. For decades NATO had no credible foe and confidence became hubris; they became what they beheld: an instrument of tyranny. Pray for the success of the Russian "steamroller" that is about to be unleashed. Just as in 1943, Russia is on the side of Justice in this war; as every nation has the right not to be threatened by the menace of enemy missiles moved ever closer to its territory.
    3
  4574. At least we know Zelensky is still sane. How can you look at all the defenses, mines, drones, tanks, artillery, 300K reservists, air superiority, missiles of every kind, jammers for HIMARS/JDAM, etc. and think "we can attack and be guaranteed of success"?? Ukraine would lose men on WW1 scale and even that would not assure a successful result.
    3
  4575. "Helpless Zelensky cries for more weapons to fight Russia" --- Headline in India newpaper. LOL.
    3
  4576. Perfect example of gaslighting: "See, you didn't give me what I want, and that makes a person you don't like happy. Why are you making a person you don't like happy?" Abusers everywhere would be proud of Biden
    3
  4577. The entire tone of your daily summary is essentially: "...and today the Russian steamroller has flattened this part, is preparing to flatten that part, has cleaned up after flattening that part, and estimates they will flatten that part sometime next week". You don't even need the details anymore.....the previous sentence sums things up nicely for the past two months... 😂
    3
  4578. The "gap" between the red "pincers" in the center of the city is only about 5 km. The overpressure lethal radius of a 2000 lb bomb is a 1.5km circle from point of impact. Just imagine that on AFU....
    3
  4579.  @TeunisMarinus  ??? Yes, but they hung 5,000 KIA on AFU's best UK-trained troops in Krinky, right? Isn't that the whole point of war?
    3
  4580. ...and when they shoot down a Su-25 and RU then drops an Iskander on their Air Defense machines and personnel in response? What then?
    3
  4581. I haven't seen such hot-headedness in US/UK citizenry to fight Russia straight up since around 1985. But then, back then it would have been the US/UK citizen fighting Russia, not Ukrainians. Probably makes a bit of a difference why we see such "bravery" in US/UK today...
    3
  4582. Whatever it is better include the Avengers because Russia taking a new town every day; sometimes two towns a day the past two weeks. In Donetsk, RU has moved 8 km in 15 days; that may not sound like much, but remember last summer Ukraine's Greatest Counteroffensive moved 8 km in three months
    3
  4583. In war you must adapt. Cheap drones can be deadly but their limitations are easily overcome; they are cheap for a reason: Their range and payload are miniscule. They cannot penetrate even moderate armor, so a cage with almost anything, like bricks or a sheet of concrete will deflect virtually all of their explosive power.
    3
  4584. All the pro-NATO people: how did you think this would end? Like really what could Ukraine possibly do to Russia with NATO help, that Russia would say "ok, that's enough you all win". When in history has Russia ever done that??
    3
  4585. I am man who was raised on Supras, 911s, and Vettes----the SUV going back to the first Pathfinder and everything that came after is against my religion. However, with what they are putting out now under that "SUV" name---the Macan, the Stelvio QF, the F-Pace SVR, the X5M, the Bentayga, and now the DBX, even I am an SUV convert. I am now an apostate: give me a DBX and I'll be fine with it!

  4586. They left out the realy tragedy; those people are 65+ years old now...
    3
  4587. Kursk 2023: Bend not break; let them come and take territory. Bleed them, slow them, make them pay maximum cost for every meter they take. Meanwhile the factories in the Urals run night and day, the railcars full of tanks and guns stretch to the horizon. Then, when the time is right, unleash the steamroller on their flank where they are weakest.
    3
  4588.  @albertnewschannel  ahh, "good for me but not for thee" and "might makes right". Got it.
    3
  4589. ...and Netherlands just made it very clear to Napolensky that the F-16s they donated CANNOT be used to attack Russia, only for defense of Ukraine airspace.
    3
  4590. Because someone on the Ukraine side is finally giving voice to what a growing body of citizens must surely be thinking: "We may not have gotten all we wanted, but we could have had peace last January. We've gained nothing since then by war and in fact have lost 50,000 of our men and more and more cities now in flames. It isn't getting better, we have to end this."

  4591. He meant to fall on his sword; so those who provide him the sword cannot fail to do so.

  4592. A "Right" to hit back at Russia using armaments given to them by the US?? NATO weapons. NATO training. NATO intelligence. NATO objectives. Really? NATO has a "Right" to invade Russia??? Amazing...."
    3
  4593. This really is a 21st century war; even Fallujah 2004 was nothing like this. These quadcopter drones were toys just a decade ago now they are bombs guided by the best intelligence system on Earth---a human. Even the small ones carry an explosive that basically took out the entire floor of what looked like at least about 3000 square feet of space. Even if you didn't get hit by fragments, your eardrums are destroyed and possibly your lungs collapsed in that enclosed space. Western leaders talk trash about Russia and say Ukraine is too slow; but in both cases the West is full of isht. None of them have ever fought a war like this. If Saddam's men had drones like this, US Marines wouldn't have taken a month to capture Fallujah, it would have taken them a YEAR.

  4596. Up close this car really visually overpowers you. The size of the wheels and calipers is almost comically large when standing next to it; like no matter what you came in there driving, the RS7's is bigger. The width of the vehicle and its interior presentation just makes you feel like a King sitting inside. As a kid, anything nicer than a Chevy gave me that "wow" sensation, but as you age and you've had Caddy's, Corvette's, BMWs and Jags, its hard to feel that sensation again. This car does it.

  4597. I've been studying WW2 since 1979 and this is the first I've heard of the "Pantherturm" or "Panzerturm"....

  4598. If you saw the new Lexus LX600 the value of this just went up by 20%. That horrid new Lexus maw and no more V8 means I'd buy this before an LX600. No one in the United States takes the LX600 off road so its advantage over this QX80 is irrelevant here. For schlepping the family in urban/suburban America this thing is a tank.

  4601. 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.

  4602. All wars are in some ways "negotiation by violence" ----- after taking France, even Hitler paused for a while to see if Britain would rather talk than fight. However this is an extremely literal example not seen on this scale in modern times.
    3
  4603. The issue with these 2.0s in large vehicles is once you load them up the performance drops off. Put your wife and kids in, and your luggage on top and drive it up the IKE to go skiing and that 2.0 will struggle. Do that for years and that engine won’t make it 125K miles while the v6 would give you 200K easy.

  4606. More UFO theory. You know behind the lines sit thousands of reserves just waiting to plug any breakthrough by immediately counterattacking, right?
    3
  4607. I was waiting to see the photos this morning. As I went to bed the military bloggers were reporting a truly massive bombardment of Odessa. Russia took the gloves off after that family was bombed on the kerch bridge 3 weeks ago. They smell blood in the water now...
    3
  4608. Every since "Bradley Square", I just wake up read the day's military reports and think "I told you so"... I don't care how many ships AFU sinks, tanks destroyed, gas terminals set on fire, FPV drones produced, it is a mosquito bite on a Bear and they never at on any single day of the SMO had a chance to push Russia out of Crimea and the territories.
    3
  4609. That building looks as if it dates from the time of tenement housing.

  4610. "Deter" not "defeat". They can't lie to us anymore...
    3
  4611. ...meanwhile Russia had 100+ warships, 60+aircraft, and 15,000 soldiers doing naval exercises today. Russia has enough combat power to play with a force that could wipe out two Ukraines.

  4612. If R-37 hit you , the word "eject" is not in the realm of possiblity.
    3
  4613. Does Kyiv have lights yet?
    3
  4614. There is not a more pro-Ukraine channel than The Sun. Today must be a very, very difficult day for the editors. Of course, "difficult" is relative. They just spew propaganda, while the Ukrainians themselves are flattened by the Russian steamroller.

  4618. No "magical" weapon can enable a weak poor country with far lower population to beat a now fully mobilized Russia. China, India, Iran buying all their oil Russia richer than they were a year ago.
    3
  4619. Define "weakened". Putin agreed with Shoigu last week that Wagner must come under Army control; this is what set Prigozhin off. Yesterday, the Army did NOT bow to Prigozhin; they followed Shoigu and their Commander in Chief. That doesn't seem "weakened" to me, but this is SKY and the lies and propaganda flow here like the flame that issues from a dragon's mouth...

  4620. The Vikhr at 8km requires the gunner to keep visual lock. The new LMUR at 15km range is "fire and forget". Sorry.

  4621. Trumpeter (big military model kit maker) has their '24 line coming out and for the first time we are getting the latest versions of Russian tanks in SMO livery (and with cope cages!). I plan to build an entire array of models of Russian hardware to commemorate their victory over NATO.
    3
  4622. Yeah the 2.0t and ZF trans basically has killed the legacy "Fix It Again Tony" jokes from the old people. My 2017 Giulia is at 70K miles and I've replaced the battery, spark plugs, and tires------that's it.

  4624. Nobody really knows but I'd trust any "analysis" by BBC or CNN the LEAST. They've been getting isht wrong or outright lying to our faces for 15 months
    3
  4625. Saw a report yesterday that Russia is now producing more T-90Ms than T-72B3s; they went heavy on the refurb of T-72B3s initially as they didn't have the ability to scale T-90M production from scratch to the numbers needed. Well, that logisitc problem is now solved (thanks to China) and they are now producing more brand new T-90Ms than refurbished T-72B3s."
    3
  4626. England should be made to bear the greatest burden of any "solution" to this outside of Bakhmut 2.0 with a little side of Ethnic Cleansing. They quite literally created the problem in 1948. How about they carve out some choice coastal territory and call it "New Gaza City" or "New Israel"??? Either works for me...
    3
  4627. I keep saying this time after time after time. People date those who are similar to themselves. All these women being killed every day by these guys that look like they are horror movie extras. The news shows a family photo of the woman at her best time, next to the mug shot of the man; and they appear to be very different. They are NOT different, thats why they have been dating for months or years and have kids. They are the SAME type of people. Most of these women who love these "thugs" are "thugettes" themselves

  4629. That is nice. Those soldiers will soon be LIVING in Britain alongside their trainers.....permanently.

  4630. Not having US and UK Navy in the Sea of Azov. That's huge.
    3
  4631. You trust CNN?? Crazy. Anyway, Vicky Nuland rushed to Kyiv on Tuesday so if Zelensky changed his mind, she changed it for him.

  4632. Tell them it is almost over; the annoyances will end soon.

  4637. Why wouldn't Russia respond if attacked by another country? What is newsworthy here?? Wouldn't anyone respond in such a situation??
    3
  4638. AFU should have abandoned the city the day after; once that happened the city was indefensible. Bloggers say there are 10,000 AFU inside Avdiivka, two brigades. I don't think there are that many but however many there are, they are going to be reduced on their way out of the city. There is nowhere to hide...
    3
  4639. I mean, if you hold a Russian passport, and give money to the enemy of your country who is every day putting your fellow countrymen into the grave. That is literally the definition of treason. I'm pretty sure donating money to the Taliban 20 years ago would have got you arrested...
    3
  4640. Zelensky was a fool to believe it. Russia defeated Napoleon and Hitler; he thought he would succeed where they failed?
    3
  4641.  @frumpd63  Exactly why I'm still running my '17 Giulia Ti. I soooo want the Quad but to use it as a daily you are going to have Maserati-level running costs. Maybe once the Ti is paid off next year I can get a Quad and make it a garage queen while I run the Ti till it falls apart. 🙂

  4642. This is it. Crunch time for Biden: "The only way to save Ukraine is to save the United States as well."

    3
  4646. Right. "Block" a mach 12 missile with what? Their own bodies??

  4647. Ukraine has only point air defense left. If they shoot something down it falls on them anyway
    3
  4648. Last fall I considered a LR Defender 130 and I called the dealer about ordering one; I stated right up front I'm not paying markup and if they mark it up when it arrives, I'll just go buy a Suburban. They guy said if you order it, we don't mark it up; but if you want one that we have sitting here in stock, there is a markup. I can somewhat understand that; a new model where production has not caught up with demand and you want it first, you may have to pay a premium. OK. However, the local Ford dealer with every F-150 on the lot having a markup? Hell no. Never going there again. Or, the ones right now that have the list of stupid dealer add-ons that cost $5K? Nope, never going there again. I'll buy a Subaru or Fiat for the rest of my life if I have to. Screw any dealer with markups.

  4656. Will M3/M4 guys buy this? Of course not; they want the Germanic feel and you won't get that anywhere else. Will some of the "try different flavors of ice cream" types opt for it? Sure, and a few will love it. However there are so many magnificent cars in this space you can't really go wrong. A Giulia QV, the new IS 500 F-Sport, many others----all awesome in their own way. One thing is sure though, this generation of Caddy Uber Sedans starting with the 2015 CTS-V are going to be lusted after one day 100x more than when they were new.
    3
  4657. Spotters say 8 Tu-22Ms are in the air. That can only mean one thing: Its "Kinzhal Sunday"
    3
  4658. 13 of 31 Abrams already destroyed and not just that, destroyed with ease----they were taken out by Lancet or FPV drones and one by a T-72B3 that it didn't know was there. Shocking that men with 6 months training on a foreign tank suck at fighting with it....
    3
  4659. Russia has eyes on Odessa 24/7 from Earth and Space. If these drones can be tracked to a NATO country like Bulgaria or Romania, then that is where the payback must be delivered.

  4661. 60 years ago my father graduated with an MBA and none of the big companies downtown (Prudential, IBM, etc.) would hire him because he was black. However by 1994 when I graduated, I got pretty much any job I wanted. All due to people like this lady. The Civil Rights Movement won many stunning victories in the past 60 years, but what a cost. There is no way to sugarcoat the obvious: a black child of 1964 had a VASTLY superior home life and upbringing than one of 2024. Just go look at TV news or all manner of video records from the 1960s... We got the jobs, access to the levers of power and money, but we lost almost everything else positive that we had in 1964.

  4662. All get sorted soon; Russia is about to take Odessa and once they do they can move the ships back. Tis but an inconvenience...
    3
  4663. Wow, what a difference a year makes. Chasiv Yar about to become Chasov Yar again...
    3
  4664. They *could*; but after they took it they'd have no army left. There'd be 11 Ukrainian guys in a cafe after the battle like: "well, its ours-----for the rest of the evening". :-)
    3
  4665. If you believe Russia would blow up a dam they have full control of, and flood all their defensive preparations behind it like minefields, trenches, earthworks that they spent months building, impacting the canal they made a point of re-opening last year and reducing the amount of water available to Crimea, you probably watch CNN exclusively.

  4666. So, does Boris have his plane tickets ready to fly to wherever and stop this Peace Deal too??

  4667.  @Brc02k  the point is why you crying now?
    3
  4668. 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?
    3
  4669. RU knows this too. Which is why they started taking out all railway hubs and bridges a month ago. AFU can only move Humvees around by highway as anything larger that has to go by rail is suicide.

  4670. This is just complete NAFO bot bullshit 😅

  4671. Donetsk is in Russia, not Ukraine. Get it right, BBC. You don't still call Alsace, France "German-held Alsace" do you??
    3
  4672. RU taking Povrovsk (pop. 60,000) , Toretsk (pop. 30,000) , and just took Niu York (pop. 10,000) this past week. Ukraine has taken half of Sudzha (pop. 5000). 🤣🤣🤣
    3
  4673. Guaranteed you won't see any of these soldiers in an interview next week. When Russia says you've been demilitarized, thats exactly what happened.😂😂

  4674. LOL. Ukraine fired the missile.

  4675. But no ban on athletes from the NATO countries that started the war by threatening Russia?
    3
  4676. Lol more food for the Piranha FPV drones….
    3
  4677. Everyone thinks NATO is going to go in to save Ukraine soon (I am one of them). I do not believe Biden and Putin are crazy and will just roll the dice to see if the other "blinks" or fires the ICBMs. Neither man is a gambler as gamblers don't last very long as leaders of countries. I think the "back channels" have already carved up Ukraine in a way both sides can accept. BOTH sides just need to "set up the narrative table" before implementation. Then again, if I'm wrong we all go to Valhalla as atoms....
    3
  4678. 6000 RU vs. 30,000 AFU. If RU lost 3000, Ukraine lost 15,000....

  4679. Yeah...what's this the 54th "game changer" or the 55th? I lose count there have been so many
    3
  4680. I'm sure this will be ruled Unconstitutional, but I don't blame them for trying. You have to admit, that compared to being a child in school in 1973 or 1983, 2023 is Hell on The Earth.
    3
  4681. Russia is winning the battle on the ground, but now that NATO isn't even pretending anymore, they are losing the strategic battle. Ukraine had no ability to perform "presicion strike" six months ago and now they are taking out individual buildings in protected areas? No, everyone who watches this channel know who that is: US and UK. I'm just putting the pieces together but I think NATO is basically done with "arming" Ukraine to do it and they are evolving to just do it themselves. Why send Ukraine a missile when you can just fire it at Russia yourself and do it better as you have all the intel assets? Germany wasn't impressed with Ukraine's army performance and Poland just recently is like "we gave you our old junk, we aren't giving you our new stuff". There are no ATACMS in this latest round approved by Biden; that tells you that "offensive strike" is being taken from Ukraine and put in NATO hands. Read the tea leaves and imho direct war NATO vs. Russia in 2024 is inevitable. I have no idea how that will end.

  4682. Way too many nato bots in here; my head hurts at all the comments that could not possibly have come from a functioning human brain...."
    3
  4683. Lucky you said that on Internet. 99% of American patriots would move your teeth back if they heard you say that.
    3
  4684. The consequences are Ukraine is protected from Russian advance in that area for weeks, which is why they (with CIA help) blew it up. Good strategy as they can move forces from that area to reinforce other areas of attack with no risk. BBC won't call it a "war crime" though; they only do that if Russia did it.
    3
  4685. WHAT is happening isn't all that surprising for anyone paying attention (and not reading Western MSM only); however the TIMING is so bad for Russia that one has to suspect CIA involvement. Just this week alone: failed Ukraine offensive, UK passes law to continue sanctions on Russia even if war ends (victory for Russia), and rumblings in both Africa and China about "peace plans". ALL of that favors Russia; now this?? I smell CIA...

  4686. I don't think half of NBC news' readership has ever even seen a pager in their lives, let alone used one...

  4687. I see more Ukrainian bots at the moment; like by 10 to 1...."

  4688. Our leadership are insane. We discuss right now, things that were unthinkable less than two years ago. The escalation shows no sign of abating; Biden and his crazies don't even have a plan other than to just react to Russia. These madmen will keep pushing Putin until they find out what his limits are. Unfortunately it won't be them that feels the impact of that discovery.
    3
  4689. The first "drone war" would probably be Iraq/Afghanistan 2003, the Predator drone killed 90% of Al Queda/Taliban leaders. However, the drone has evolved; large aircraft sized drones like Predator operate in Ukraine by both sides, but they are vulnerable to fighters and AA missiles since they are slow and have no stealth. This war the drone has evolved to be much smaller, almost impossible to spot on radar as it would appear to be birds or something. Once spotted they are hard to hit as they are barely bigger than an office chair; Russia has had much success just jamming them since you just need to point the jammer at the drone. The good thing for armies is that due to this very small size to increase their survivability, they have poor range and cannot carry much explosive force. The Russian Lancet drone has been very successful at hitting things, but when it hits a tank it really just damages it as that vehilce is too heavily armored. However if it hits things like artillery, trucks, APCs, etc. it is enough to detonate their ammo and destroy them.
    3
  4690. "Possiblity"?? They sent 500,000 155mm shells to Ukraine back in 2023! Do they believe the world is unaware of that???
    3
  4691. They are on pace to sell about 30,000 a year, which is far less than they wanted (they were looking to move around 90,000 a year). In my opinion, the problem is mostly perception. No one looking for a CR-V would ever think "let me go to a Dodge dealer". The people who do walk into a Dodge dealer, are not the target market for a CR-V competitor. That said; the vehicle is competitive, and if you stick with the standard gas model, it really stacks up well to a CR-V. I think the longer these are out, the more the word will get out on them.
    3
  4692. This man is 100% correct that this is becoming very much WW1. There is a video today on ABC News where AFU is training people to use cheap weapons to shoot down drones. One of them was a pickup truck on which two Maxim machine guns were mounted. You heard that right....the machine gun from WW1.

  4700. I just want to drive it to see what Italian F1 chassis engineers can do with a platform designed for a cheap 4x4. The Giulia was a clean sheet design so it handles like a dream. Want to see what they can do with a platform that was never intended to be "sporty".

  4702. They take the Western money and give "missing" status to hundreds of thousands, saving themselves billions which no one knows where it ends up
    3
  4703. US local news in towns were Ukrainian soldiers are getting treated for loss of limbs, very serious injury and all of them say the same thing when interviewed. "We are shot at almost immediately" or "the average soldier at the front lasts three days before becoming a casualty". Day after day, for months now, this summary and many others say the same thing. Infantry assaults result in horrendous losses in every war. I recall stories about the Battle of the Bulge, where in the opening stages the Germans used infantry assault so they would not lose so many tanks in breaking through American lines. Some American soldiers said they stopped shooting at the Germans because by that stage of the war, the Wehrmacht was mostly teenage boys, and they killed so many with machine gun fire it made them sick to see all the dead littering the ground in front of their foxhole. We are seeing the exact same thing happening again.
    3
  4704. This is absurd. Ukraine is only facing "existential threat" because of a decade of US meddling and Joe Biden's decision in September 2021 to eschew diplomacy for war. Russia offered many times to talk, to negotiate long before the invasion, all rebuffed by Joe Biden. NOW, two years later, when it is clear the gambit has failed, the Biden Administration is sounding the "life or death" alarm to get We the People to put our money into their disaster to save it. You know, us People Joe Biden never asked in the first place. I'd be laughing if it weren't so sad....Vicky Nuland will never sleep another night in her life as at least 1 million ghosts will haunt her dreams. The DEMs spilled the milk and are complaining because the GOP won't help them clean it up..."

  4707. I don't disagree with anything said about this car; Porsche is the top dog for good reason. However, I just went and listened to the F-Type SVR and Maserati Granturismo winding it out on a track and, I'm sorry-----those two are still the best when it comes to automotive "music" to your ears.
    3
  4708. Now we hear from the real power behind the attack on the Russian Navy. The ones really in charge and whose credibility is now challenged.
    3
  4709. All the video of course provided by the Ukraine Emergency Services 😂 I also notice none of the video was from Lviv; not surprising as that city is the entry point for NATO weapons and virtually any building bigger than a house in that city has NATO hardware or ammo inside.
    3
  4710. Austin talks like it is still up to him. The Swiss want to hold a "peace conference" without Russia, China told them "no chance".

  4713. What do you think Ukraines infantry only assault tactics the past three months do to their casualties? 🙂
    3
  4714. This is the stupidest war ever. Ukrainians who want to be "European" have the right to. Ukrainians who want to remain "Russian" have the right to. Neither should be forced to move in order to live the way they want. EU's desires for grain and LNG, and US/UK desires to put their navies in the Black Sea should not matter one bit in the negotiations as these are not the concerns of a Ukrainian of either Russian or European desire If you take those factors out, the Ukrainians and Russians could have settled this while playing a balalaika and drinking vodka.
    3
  4715. Depends. West is "modern", but that means no marriage, no Church, broken homes, criminal kids, LGBTQ, etc. Its nice to have a big house and a BMW in the West, but some things are more important than money.
    3
  4716. They have Crimea and the annexed region. They have what they wanted from the war (other than a neutral Ukraine). However the latter is impossible so they are OK with just having the former.
    3
  4717. They hit a 40 year old landing ship and a tanker....at night. Any surface combatant would swat these away like flies. Russian Fleet fears NO ONE
    3
  4718. When he shot down the helicopter and plane during the Wagner "Jan. 6th Moment", I think many in the military considered that unforgiveable. His group killed servicemen doing their duty and I think that caught up to him. Can't say I blame them if that is what happened; I was a big fan of his until he did that. Killing tens of thousands of Ukrainian soldiers in Bakhmut was fine with me as that is war, and they were trying to kill him too. However, killing your own countrymen while making some kind of "demonstration" or whatever it was, no....for that he had to pay.
    3
  4719. That guy was dual wielding his blades like the Northman

    3
  4725. What are the guesses at Ukrainian casualties in just the past week? NATO must have made some kind of promise to Ukraine for them to simply try the "bust through no matter the cost" strategy
    3
  4726. So, the whole thing is just a resource-grab? That's why we block all attempts at a negotiated settlement? France let it slip a few months ago when their FM said "if Putin wins, Russia will control half the world market for grain" Has nothing to do with "democracy"; as usual its all about money and power.

  4731. Two Ukrainian officers were arrested, but the West Media keeps repeating the SBU charge that it was a "Russian plot"?? Does the Western media think anyone will consider them to be "journalists" after this war is over??
    3
  4732. Odessa is where probably half the NATO aid, advisers, mercenaries and other very important Western targets stage after entering the country, before going on to their destination. It is a juicy target that presents a constant flow of prime targets. There is no "civilian infrastructure" in Odessa."
    3
  4733. ?? It is satellite internet. Hughes Network Systems has provided this for 30+ years. Starlink is just a lower orbiting satellite using modern computing to reduce the Earth to orbit latency. My God. Some of you Musk Swallowers really think he is Tony Stark.

  4734. Good. Would not have solved one 70 year old problem, and would have only extended a 2 year old and 3 month old ones.

  4735. Ukraine cannot talk peace now; they have all these Leopards and Bradleys----they can't talk without at least trying to use them first.
    3
  4736. Seriously? We all been watching Maxxpro get shredded for almost 2 years now, and everyone thinks "yay" now they see one that actually withstood some hits???"
    3
  4737. DW reported Germany is pressing Zelensky to negotiate; we know the US was doing so a few weeks ago. When 2 of your 3 main sponsors are telling you "time to talk"; its only a matter of time. I'm feeling the recent accelerated pace of Russian movement since Thanksgiving is them going for as much territory as possible as they know an armistice may be near and they can use that territory to bargain with.
    3
  4738. Yes, thats why Napolensky has been stopped cold for four days.

  4739. Pakistan can't even feed it's people, how anyone can expect anything requiring precision manufacturing made there to be good is crazy. They make good clothes and textiles....that's it

  4742. The Rebels just destroyed the Death Star and now planets all across the Galaxy are rising up as they now realize the Empire is not as strong as everyone thought.

  4745. Supersonic and hypersonic missiles---cruise and ballistic, from ships, from Tu-95s, Tu-22Ms, and ground launchers. While the US doesn't have even one hypersonic missile, nor any system that can shoot one down. When Zelensky asks and we have nothing to give, what then? Finally talks?

  4746. Hmmm, one day after Jens Stoltenberg: "I do not expect NATO to offer Ukraine an invitation" Oh yeah! Gonna try to change the outcome of that Summit for sure!!!
    3
  4747. He was always free to go live in EU if he wants that lifestyle for himself? Joining a war against his own people to force them all into an EU lifestyle (with US/UK domination along with it??). Absurd. Every nation has people who disagree with the government; you fight with ideas not war. If you realize you'll never win, you emigrate to another country and live your life not try to bend those around you to your will.
    3
  4748. why?
    3
  4749. NATO spent that decade making its investments in Ukraine. LNG storage, mining rights, farming leases, banking, etc. It now has to prepare for the next decade to protect and preserve them. What? You thought this was about "democracy"?? Hahahahahh....omg....please...stop.... Hahahahaha!"
    3
  4750. Didn't Rolls Royce estimate back in 2019 that civil aviation could be 'carbon neutral' by 2060??
    3
  4751. It really has come down to a game of "chicken". When Russia bombs the French troops who are being sent to Ukraine, will France accept the losses as "cost of doing business", or directly attack Russia? If the latter, and Russia directly attacks France in response, do the rest of NATO accept that as "Article 5" (even though France went in there first)? If the answer is "yes" to that, the entire northern hemisphere is gone. I'm sure Asia, Africa, South and Central America, and the ME are OK with that-----it'll be a thousand years before they have to deal with the US or EU again.
    3
  4752. because both are lies?
    3
  4753. ...and still can't afford all the fancy new South Korean weaponry they were bragging about getting last year. Deal about to fall through, Poles can't afford to pay cash, and SK can't afford to loan them the money and have them make payments. 😂

  4754. Like Boris said yesterday: "If Ukraine loses, the West loses our Hegemony" : he·gem·o·ny /həˈjemənē,ˈhejəˌmōnē/ noun leadership or dominance, especially by one country or social group over others.
    3
  4755. Won't cost that much; once it begins those who know they are on the way out won't wait and will just leave on their own. Better to manage your own repatriation; close accounts, move money, sell cars, ship your stuff back home to your relatives, etc. and leave on your own, than to just wait until you are put on the bus one day and you don't have time to do all that.

  4756. Brand-new tanks vs. 30 year old cast offs?? LOL No Western bias and mountain-high arrogance and hubris here....

  4761. NATO is a club of backstabbing , duplicitous cowards. If you want to fight Russia, be a man and stand up and fight Russia.
    3
  4762. Can't do that any longer. Ukraine wants to be EU that means you have to fight wars by the Geneva Rules. No mass murder, no firebombing, no cluster munitions, fair trials, etc. You know, all that "high road" stuff.
    3
  4763. I liken this to a sports contest, like basketball. There is a point in a game, which up to then was close, where you can almost physically sense one team is about to crack. They've been back-and-forth all game but then someone hits a three, then they steal the ball from the opponent and hit another three, and you can see on the faces of the opponent they are staggered. They then miss a shot badly and the same guy who hit two threes, hits another and the crowd goes wild. That is the point AFU is at; RU has just broken open a game that's been back-and-forth up to now; they sense the time to 'pour it on" is now..."

  4776. Just like the civilian cars the American Strykers shot up just across the border two days ago??"
    3
  4777. This war is over; been over since the Ukraine offensive was smashed----all Ukraine has been doing since last September is defending (and even that not very well). All everyone is discussing is how much Russia will take and by when. It is *over*.

  4778. I mean, it is military equipment, right? Military equipment gets destroyed in a war, right?

Just came home from lunch in the Jag----water pump died at 8 years, engine fan gave out a few months ago. That's it in almost 12 years. 🙂 On a macro level I can't disagree, but I've learned there really are very few unreliable cars, only unreliable owners.
    3
  4783. They have a different definition of "stalemate" than i do. Ukraine has been on the offensive for six month and got nowhere. Russia now on the offensive for only three weeks. Lets see what the lines look like in April, 2024 and then decide.
    3
  4784. So, it seems there is no "magic wand"; Ukraine has decided to attack right where Russia expects them to. No surprise to me; they really don't have much option to flank or do something unexpected. It basically going to be a barroom brawl...

    2
  4789. NATO and Russia came very close to open war in 1999 over Kosovo. I guess there are some elites on both sides that felt that was a missed opportunity and want to try again...

  4790. Wow. I got married 8 years ago so to me the "game" has changed A LOT in that time. I would laugh in a woman's face if she asked me to pay for the sitter so she can go on a date with me. Holy cow that is insane. In 2013 when I was out there a lot, this was unheard of. If a woman had a child that was young, it was me coming over, drinks and laughs, then the child goes to bed and we smash. If the child(ren) were teens, they were invisible; in their rooms on Xbox, maybe only saw them in the kitchen; mom and I go into her room shut the door and smash. A DATE with a single mother was RARE.

  4791. How he gonna fire them with no warships?? Or, he want the warships too???

  4792. The parents need to get half the time the kids are getting. Its the only way to stop this madness.

  4793. As usual, GOP blaming DEM who are blaming GOP; each side trying to find the "smoking gun" that proves he was "from the other team"..."
    2
  4794. It means they will survive. They may not as Biden has other ideas....
    2
  4795. I like many Volvo's but I cannot buy them as I cannot knowingly support China. Tata or Stellantis should buy the brand; ANYONE but China.
    2
  4796. The video coming from the front the past two days is amazing; some of the best we've seen yet. A T-90 Proryv driving directly at AFU infantry with its cannon blasting away, two BMPs on its flanks spitting autocannon fire, they drop the Storm-Z troopers off and disengage under smoke. The troops then massacre the Ukrainians in the hamlet and drive them out. Textbook tactical counter-attack. Another vid shows Ukrainian S-300 complex clearly visible next to a treeline, its position revealed because it had fired at the Russians, and the result: artillery detonations on and around the area, secondary explosions and a cooked off missile corkscrewing into the sky. Finally, a vid from a Su-34 cockpit straight out of "Top Gun"; you can actually see the FAB-500 GLONASS-guided bombs falling away behind it, then massive detonations on the riverbank where Ukrainian troops were trying to gain a foothold. Magnificent.
    2
  4797. Biden looks more enfeebled every day, Scholz is on the verge of declaring an "Emergency", Macron doesn't even bother himself with all this Ukraine stuff, and here is Vladimir Putin. Still on top after almost TWENTY flipping years. Still out-thinking, and out-maneuvering his rivals. Still loved by his people. Any future Western leader please pay attention: It really isn't that difficult. Just put YOUR country first, YOUR people first, in ANYTHING and EVERYTHING you do. That's it. Resist the lure of trying to "shape the world" or "bend others to your will"; just LEAD your OWN. Simple.
    2
  4798. I wonder if the reticle must remain on the target for the missile to hit? Not sure the range but a helicopter having to hover still to track its target until the missile hits, is vulnerable. Not sure if Russians have fire and forget anti-tank missiles that have their own target seeking radar.
    2
  4799. Hmmm, one day after Jens Stoltenberg: "I do not expect NATO to offer Ukraine an invitation" Oh yeah! Gonna try to change the outcome of that Summit for sure!!!
    2
  4800. Just a reminder that Round 2 is going to be a lot different than Round 1 in Ukraine..."
    2
  4801. Pro-Ukraine sites report AFU has issued "just hold on for 29 more hours" to troops in Bakhmut pocket.Imagine you are Ukrainian soldier and your orders are "no retreat for the next day and a half so Russian's can't celebrate. If you survive and are not captured, you can retreat on Thursday". What a stupid war and stupid way to die...
    2
  4802. I mean, if Ford sold this to anyone, I do not believe Tesla would sell another Model 3 or Y outside of California. That interior looks like a Bentley compared to even a $140K Tesla, and the space and utility from such a large, strongly built platform would utterly destroy any current EV in those respects at that price. Add in the tax credit and maybe not even in California would Tesla be able to sell a 3/Y again...
    2
  4803. Haha. The CNN okay with Biden sending banned cluster shells, now has a "moral" issue with how war is waged?
    2
  4804. Of course he does, few ever blame themselves when warranted
    2
  4805. Ukrainian troops say "4 to 5 of us dead for every 100 meters gained!"
    2
  4806. US sent banned weapons. Now everyone is a "war criminal"; and when everyone is a war criminal, no one is.
    2
  4807. DAYUM, I said this two days ago....Wagner 'aint leaving, they are being redeployed! 🙂

  4808. This is sad. Its not his fault; he's freaking old. I figured we'd be lucky to get one term out of him; just need him to hang on for one more year.

  4809. They just looked at the US border and learned it from us.

  4810.  @luciferjohnson8495  why is inflation high? because the economy is hot. LOL
    2
  4811. “It got especially bad over the past week to week and half..”. Yep, when your unelected leader sent your brand new army to Kursk instead of to defend you.
    2
  4812. If Trump were Prez there'd have been no war. He'd have negotiated with Putin; Biden chose war.
    2
  4813. D-Day with Jetskis......only Zelensky could have approved that one. 😂😂😂😂
    2
  4814. NATO going to war with Russia causing German economy to shrink by 4% of GDP over the past 18 months (which equates to over ONE-HUNDRED, SIXTY-TWO BILLION dollars lost). Country that caused such a loss: "What is taking so long for you to GIVE us all the $1M each missiles we asked for??"
    2
  4815. LMAO!!! The "109th Facebook..."😂😂😂
    2
  4816. This "Offensive" (if you can call it that) has failed. Dudes with AKs spraying spider holes and trenches? Seriously? THIS is what we've given away $50B for?? The Ukrainian 47th Mechanized, with Leopards/Bradleys/M-16...."NATO certified" with 4 months training; BLOODIED to the point the unit is now withdrawn and trying to reconstitute itself. The BEST. Shattered for the exact reason everyone who doesn't watch CNN knew it would be: No air cover and four months training is nothing vs. reservists with YEARS of training. This thing is over.....time for Biden to allow Zelensky to talk. US pulled Zelensky away in December when he was seriously considering a peace deal: he chose poorly.
    2
  4817. As soon as I saw the first report four hours ago, I thought "Telegraph will have this up today, they've reported nothing for two weeks since Ukraine has nothing good to report, but because there are RU losses here to see, they'll show this." After two+ years the West "media" is so predictable...."" 😂
    2
  4818. Russia never fights NATO directly; they'd lose such a fight. For every ATACMS that lands in Russia, a German internet cable will experience "failure", a Greek pipeline will develop a "leak", a Polish fuel storage tank will "ignite" , a Brit wind farm in the North Sea will lose fan blades to a "fault" , a French....well....you get the picture... 🤣
    2
  4819. NATO commits to a neutral Ukraine in exchange for RU Army leaving Crimea and Territories. HOWEVER the people of Crimea and the Territories get some autonomy from Kyiv; can't go back to Ukraine just dominating those Russians living there. That is a fair end for all sides.

  4820. The sent 144 and only 4 actually hit anything... Good thing they are only lawnmowers with wings....."

  4821. US State Department has over 77,000 employees. Its Constitutional job? Negotiate trade agreements and treaties. Seventy-seven thousand
    2
  4822. In part of his speech he says "...we had some agreements in Istanbul on these [war goals], but that agreement was thrown away..." Which confirms the report by Zelensky's aide that they had a settlement to end the war, but Boris Johnson (with US backing) stopped it. PROOF.
    2
  4823. The Grand Wagoneer slaps the thing silly on the interior and luxury. I know the Jeep will fall apart in 6 years, but while it's new it is far better than this in almost every way.

  4824. You can buy two base LCs for the price of a Rivian; one for you and one for your A.I. girlfriend... 🤣
    2
  4825. It is really very simple. If Russia allows NATO to take over in Ukraine, put US and Royal Navy warships in Sea of Azov, Russia has a knife to its throat and becomes the US and UK's bitch. That's the truth of it. All these other fancy words and treaties and agreements and "culture" is just smoke to obscure the harsh truth. Russia loses, they become a slave to the US.
    2
  4826. Russia took an intact Abrams tank today
    2
  4827. NATO is ratcheting down arms for Ukraine because they are planning to use their output themselves. Why bother sending a missile to Ukraine when you can just fire it at Russia yourself? All those strikes we are seeing in Crimea have "NATO" written all over it. They gave Ukraine a chance with the offensive and it failed; when you need a tough job done its usually better to just do it yourself.
    2
  4828. What a craven, gutlessly duplicitous plan. Can you imagine what Hindenburg and Bismarck would think of what modern Germany has become?? So pathetically weak and cowardly, they can only fight from the shadows (and try to blame it on their "allies"!!)

  4830.  @Bialy_1  "....at the peak ..." Reading comprehension is fundamental. 🙂
    2
  4831. How many? 150 or so?
    2
  4832. So all the stories we've heard for 18 months about missing weapons, pocket-lining, etc. are mostly true and not from "Russian bots"?
    2
  4833. Listening to the anger and gnashing of teeth from the UK is beautiful. Brits behave on the world stage as if its 1924, not 2024; as if they matter when they don't....

  4834. Joe Biden logic

  4835. If the ONLY source is Ukraine, you can believe only about 10% of it.

  4836. Budanov is a Prince among liars....everything he says, believe the opposite.
    2
  4837. Same thing in every war, in every country, in every era. Half of US politicians today escaped Vietnam due to their family wealth. It almost tore the country apart.
    2
  4838. Everything the General said that would allow the Ukrainians to have any chance to break through the defense lines is exactly what they do not have. US Army already on record saying those old shells Biden gave weren't designed for mine clearing anyway, they were designed to destroy troop/vehicle concentrations in the open. Notice he didn't mention Abrams tank, and he surely knows they are coming soon. Why? Because Abrams tanks will burn just like Leopard 2. "Carpet bombing" as Petraeus puts it, requires many tons of explosive which no drone anywhere can carry---only manned bomber can do that and that means Buk-M2, Pantsir-S1, and S-300 blow it out of the sky 100 km before it ever reach target area. Any lucky enough to survive, the Su-27s and 35s swarm them like angry hornets. Armistice. Now.

  4839. 60,000 47 year old men and young women vs. 60,000 young men. What other results could be expected?
    2
  4840. ??? Nukes didn't "belong" to Ukraine so how could they "give them up". They didn't even have the launch codes. It would be like Nevada seceding from the Union and trying to keep the nukes the United States placed there.
    2
  4841. I just looked at the map. This means the entire Black Sea Fleet is now at risk of being destroyed at anchor. There are three new Admiral Grigorovich-class frigates there, not to mention submarines, landing ships, minesweepers, oilers, etc. An air base with Su-30SMs, attack helicopters, etc. It is basically a Russian "Pearl Harbor" for the Black Sea. UK just turned the whole place into a target... Things just changed.
    2
  4842. The Houthis smile and wave as Chinese and Russian ships sail by, and most Western ships rerouted months ago. Pretty much the only ships left in the Red Sea are Israel-related so this is all really about covering Israel's back. "Preserving international commerce" is just the CNN justification.
    2
  4843. Napolensky is having the same success he had in 1812...." 🤣
    2
  4844. They didn't a year ago. They do now... LOL
    2
  4845. The Western Media really pumping this up. BBC had an analyst saying this was Ukraine's "Doolittle Raid". I mean, Ukraine has sent drones to Moscow for months, drones just like this that blow out windows in someone's condo or dentist's office. Could it be the TOTAL failure of the Spring Offensive why the media is trying to make us forget about that?
    2
  4846. Putin ever the troll....posts their mugshots for all the world to see; stripping them of any inherent merit of being a "diplomat" and rendering them as common criminals as you'd see in any big city police blotter from a Friday night....
    2
  4847. Why would anyone have "resisted" Wagner movement the first few hours? That's like the US Army being criticized because the Illinois National Guard drove troops and vehicles on the highway and the Army didn't attack them.
    2
  4848. Those Wagners man....they are going into the history books with Spartans, Persian Immortals, Centurions, US Marines in Pacific War, etc....
    2
  4849.  @foilhat1138  what you saw was called a "fighting retreat". When it is time for your unit to leave a position that is under enemy fire, you counter-attack with another unit just enough to allow the engaged unit to escape, then both units fall back to the new position. That was not a "mistake"; that is tactical combat operations.
    2
  4850. A person will not negotiate something with you if they believe they can take it whole by force. The fundamental reason the war started and continues is the United States (primarily) believes it does not have to negotiate; that by economic and military means it can take Crimea away from Russia by force. It is the equivalent of Russia wanting to take California and the key naval base in San Francisco, denying the United States access to the Pacific forever.
    2
  4851. Thank God. Battery EV is stupid solution.
    2
  4852. Russia doesn't even need the Kerch bridge anymore as they knew years ago it was an obvious target. They just finished a new 200 km rail line through the heart of the annexed areas. Plus Ukraine's biggest problem now is Russia rules the sky. Have you noticed that for the past two weeks Russian drones, missiles, and guided bombs are falling like rain every night all over Ukraine? Last week they hit SEVENTY different cities and towns in ONE night. Taurus can't stop that.
    2
  4853. The shells aren't even the biggest problem. the main problem is AFU don't have enough guns so the ones they have they never rotate out for barrel lining maintenance. The former Russian stuff they may be able to re-line out in the field, but all that expensive NATO stuff like M-777, CAESAR, Krab or AS90? Forget it; those have to go to Poland or Germany for maintenance and that hasn't happened since last summer. What few shells they fire now are just as likely to hit Cleveland as a Russian tank.
    2
  4854. Slava Rossiya!

  4855. " ...and if these men do not die well, it will be a black matter for the King that led them to it."
    2
  4856. If Biden dares to try and send even a single US soldier into Ukraine to fight Russia he should be impeached immediately.
    2
  4857. US hates when someone else behaves just as it does.
    2
  4858. Keep hearing all this "gains new ground" in CNN/BBC/SKY for the past four days and that "bulge" looks little different than it did last Sunday. Somebody is full of isht...."
    2
  4859. FAB-3000 has entered the chat
    2
  4860. That's funny, as all along I've viewed Biden as the "bully". His Administration has spent over two years bullying more nations than I can count, some inside NATO as well. The bully is getting his much deserved comeuppance..."

  4861. While massive shiploads of 155mm artillery shells and JDAMs arrive in Israeli ports every day, courtesy of John Kirby. LOL.
    2
  4862. NATO may physically leave Mali, but they'll just arm whoever is against the government as they have done for decades. The old school CIA way. They won't just let Russia build up five or six countries there with no resistance
    2
  4863. WOW!!
    2
  4864. So far, these things have only managed to kill the parents of a Russian family coming home from the beach...
    2
  4865. I have watched HL for six months, and i have never seen this much complaining by pro Ukraine comments. Even after Bradley Square when the whole world saw Ukraine embarras itself there waa not this much whining.
    2
  4866. They got him out of there quick, eh?? Did he even have to swing a shovel at the Gulag for one day?
    2
  4867. Go Russia! I have no hate for Ukraine but Biden and NATO are using Ukraine to destroy Russia.
    2
  4868. Just as in the Ukraine war, the propaganda battle is just as fierce as the one with guns and bombs. One hour ago the IDF (IDF!!) published a collection of videos and clips from public and private cameras showing recording of the initial Hamas invasion. No blurred images, nothing cut---raw. People being shot while running away, their bodies looted, etc. Is IDF preparing the world for the news it was a JDAM that hit the hospital by showing us the massacre of their own citizens?
    2
  4869. Now we know why this is on CNN/BBC; the massive losses due to the strike is the only reason Napolensky is reporting it; dozens of Iskanders hit every day but its only ammo dumps, tank repair yards, sometimes an HQ and those are relatively easy to hide. This one he cannot...."
    2
  4870. Putin always the master at information warfare. Ukraine goes to UNSC with some fantasy about what land they think is theirs, and US supports it. So next day Russia goes to UNSC with argument why Alaska still belongs to them. 😂😂
    2
  4871. If you believe Russia would blow up a dam they have full control of, and flood all their defensive preparations behind it like minefields, trenches, earthworks that they spent months building. You probably watch CNN exclusively.
    2
  4872. Look at that car. Look how almost perfectly intact it is; even though it was hit by a missile. Several years ago, in the wake of the Iraq/Afghanistan wars, the US military prioritized procurement of precision weapons that limited collateral damage. I'd bet my entire $300 retirement account that was a US-made Hellfire R9X missile. Designed from the start to shred terrorists, and only the terrorists. Given to Israel for free of course, as the United States is Israel's Patron Saint...
    2
  4873. Russia is about to tidy up this "play war" here very soon. Lavrov delivered the ultimatum to Biden/Zelensky: Capitulate or Ukraine Ends. Just go watch Lavrov speak from two days ago; does he even look at all like a man concerned about the outcome? While Zelensky looks haggard, disheveled, and like he hasn't slept in months. Savvy watchers have noticed diesel fuel is experiencing shortages in the Russian local market; what other explanation could there be for a country swimming in oil to have diesel shortages but that the Army is stockpiling it? North Korea will supply millions of shells. Fuel. Ammo. Secured. When it comes, and unless Biden capitulates, it will. It will look like something from white and black WW2 films....
    2
  4874. Napolensky already demanded more to replace the losses from the past two weeks. They on the offense now in enemy territory, so they taking huge losses because everywhere they go is riddled with snipers..." Keep that tax money flowing baby!!"
    2
  4875. Mig-29s won't change anything; Russia has almost 1000 Su-27s and Su-35s. Anything the S-300, Pantsir, or Buk doesn't destroy, the Sukhoi's will. Mig-29 = cannon fodder.
    2
  4876. I think they'll sell well initially, as they are the "new thing". However I do not see an EV "muscle car" having the legs of the current ICE models. Think about all the things you like about having a muscle car, and only one----straight line speed----is present in an EV. You can't feel the brakes as EV brakes are electronic in order to allow for regen. You can't feel the steering because EV buyers expect massive amounts of driver assistance tech, negating the ability to provide natural steering feedback. There is no natural sound. No rumble under your butt. No noise when you blast through a tunnel. Almost everything you like about a muscle car is missing. A few gearheads may buy it, but they'll drive the Hellcat when they want to have fun.
    2
  4877. Listen to him; he is no longer sane....
    2
  4878. Those against the US instigation of this war are like those against the Vietnam War 60 years ago: outnumbered and shouted down today, but as time passes and truths emerge, we are redeemed. The United States is not on the side of right in this war.
    2
  4879. Mi-28 gets no love 😅
    2
  4880. This guy is beginning to sound absolutely insane. Guess what? No weapons = no war!! So US support hasn't "saved" even ONE Ukrainian life; it has COST 300,000 and more every day! With no weapons, Ukraine says "OK" to the annexed areas and life goes on. No invasion. No destruction. No death.
    2
  4881. Clearly France was speaking only for herself. I'm sure the Russians are terrified...
    2
  4882. Man, $72K and you don't even have leather on the dash or doorsills. 330hp when Maserati is giving you 424hp from their twin-turbo V6, or even Caddy with their slightly bigger TT V6 at 474hp! I drool over 911s and Cayman GT4, but I would not ever buy a Porsche sedan or SUV; there are far too many options that are far better both above and below the Panamera , Macan, and Cayenne. Now, when it comes to sports cars, Porsche is the pinnacle; however once you are looking at the more every day driver models, you are basically getting the same thing everyone else is selling so why bother with the Porsche?
    2
  4883. 1500 to 97 in planes. This was true a year ago and some of us said negotiation because fighting is something Ukraine cant win. Why Biden Administration so stupid as to not realize this in 2021?
    2
  4884. Russia and NK are like the Rebels; ragtag, strange alliances, always careful when and how they gather, their ships battered and showing their age. Yet, somehow they were able to destroy the Death Star and defeat the Empire.
    2
  4885. Nice to see someone stepping up to help after France and US ruined the island. If the people accept them they have a chance
    2
  4886. It was clear after Afghanistan that Biden and his cabinet greatest weaknesses are in Military matters. When Austin was confirmed I looked up his record, and he appears to be a great peacetime officer. However he has no actual combat experience himself, nor did he ever command a unit in combat. When the war drums started for the US to help Ukraine, I felt like the US would be at a disadvantage if the Russians didn't win right away and it turned into a long, dirty war. No one does long dirty war better than the Russians and a man like Austin is completely out of his league in this kind of war. The fact our support was purely political from Biden and the Progressive Left only makes it worse----no one on the Dem side was looking at this objectively---it was purely a gamble to score political points and now it has all gone to Hell.
    2
  4887. AFU: "The plane wasn't carrying our POWs!! It was S-300 missile parts!!" 2 weeks later in Wall Street Journal: "...officials now admit, it was a Patriot missile and the plane was probably carrying AFU POWs" 😵‍💫

  4889. I want a Storm-Z T-shirt.

  4890. A few NATO elites want to make Russia into a docile version of Belgium. Not gonna happen
    2
  4891. Biden just sent Ukraine another $125M in aid; which should last them about 36 hours.... Take it all, Russia. Take it for the family...."
    2
  4892. In 2023 South Korea sent 500,000 155mm shells to Ukraine. Why are they acting like something changed? Did they think there would be no consequence to them joining the nations trying to destroy Russia? They aren't even in NATO; they had no legal obligation to help fight Russia....they chose to. Now North Korea is doing the same on Russia's side and South Korea is whining and crying like a frightened toddler???
    2
  4893. YT blocking a lot of comments, LOL
    2
  4894. LOL. We in US have heard about this since the 1940s. If we had alien technology for almost 80 years and still unable to build an X-Wing fighter (or even a single operational hypersonic missile) then the aliens should have given someone else the technology.
    2
  4895. Pure Fantasy
    2
  4896. Poles in 1612. Swedes in 1708. French in 1812. Germans in 1941. Now, the AmeriBrits in 2024 (whose proxy army contains Poles, Swedes, French, and Germans). I'm not European so this pattern makes no sense to me; what is the major malfunction Europeans have with Russians? Is there a reason Europeans keep trying to invade Russia???"

  4897.  @marinebymistake  "Those not intelligent enough to attack the message, instead attack the messenger"

  4898. Four planes? In exchange for taking more territory in one day than Ukraine took in their entire 2023 Offensive? Russia can live with that... So the Brits (again) , were behind the POW plane shootdown.

  4899. From one felon to another...

  4900.  @howlinwind  You can go join up, what is stopping you. I don't care about Ukraine at all; never have, never will.
    2
  4901. Neither side posts videos of their failures; only their successes. Don't fall victim to confirmation bias.
    2
  4902. On the local news here they show Zelensky entering a room full of people who are all smiling. Turns out those people are American weapons manufacturer representatives-----of course they are smiling. You cannot make this stuff up: Congress votes money, that goes right to Lockheed Martin to build new stuff that will go to the US Army, while the 30 year old stuff in storage goes to Zelensky.
    2
  4903. NATO is not going to just follow Biden into oblivion. UK and Poland will, but none of the rest.

  4904. "I looovveee that nice, wide rear end..." I've said that for decades, but not usually about cars.. 🙂

  4906. Well, there goes my vote for Trump; I can't in good conscience knowingly put a man like Elon Musk into a position of power over me. HELL NO...."
    2
  4907. It really isn't that surprising. Cheney is one of the old school "neo-conservatives"; the world builders who believe the United States has a Divine Right to bend the planet to its will by money or by force, whichever works best. The Democrats have taken up the charge to crush all who oppose them worldwide under that same Standard; the GOP under Trump is going in the complete opposite direction with isolationism and inward-facing US nationalism. Trump people consider Republicans like him "RINOS" or the "swamp"; Cheney is being philosophically true to his core beliefs...."
    2
  4908. He is smart. Saying such a thing is stupid...
    2
  4909. So the war is now 52 vs. 2 instead of 52 vs. 1?
    2
  4910. They are all near the front so Russias 1500 to 82 advantage in combat aircraft don't wipe out every Ukrainian soldiers and NATO tank where they sit long before they can even reach the battle line.

  4911. It IS illegal; "Ukraine" is bombing Sudanese citizens.

  4913. They are happy Biden and Harris aren't sending them to the trenches of Ukraine in 2025, for a war that has zero to do with them.
    2
  4914. DEMs just don't get it: It isn't about the person; its about the POLICY On immigration, Russia, socialist spending and crime, the DEMs have the wrong policy That's why Trump wins and no matter what dirt is thrown at him, that won't matter.
    2
  4915. Who but America goes and inserts itself into a war it wasn't a party to at all? It's like our leaders are unhappy if there are no wars to join.
    2
  4916. Good. Now do something to make it right. Free tuition room and board at any Dutch University for any African from region or countries where slaves were taken. Upon graduation, Dutch citizenship if they wish.
    2
  4917. Notice how the Western Media dropped "Spring Offensive" a couple weeks ago and now exclusively use the term "Counteroffensive".... 🙂
    2
  4918. I know they dropped the bigger engines to keep the price under the Germans, but having owned a Supercharged V8 Jag, there is no way I could accept this; it would break my heart every time I drove it. The looks have always been lovely and that interior makes a BMW look like a prison cell. Who knows? Maybe in its final year before the EV-pocalypse they'll throw the SVR V8 in there!! One can hope!
    2
  4919. There is not a square meter of the earth inhabited by humans that doesn't have a radio nearby; how do we know they aren't all rigged? Israel apparently has crafted its own "Final Solution".... If necessary, they wipe the rest of us out.
    2
  4920. Who is "we"?
    2
  4921. Why does a person who doesn't agree with the current "paradigm' for what is an "EV" (primarily created by California Liberals) have to be an "EV hater"??? That right there is the problem. GM just changed what it means to be an EV. For years all we've heard is drag reduction (making the body and wheels ugly), weight reduction (making the interior look like an empty closet), and coding nerds needed to squeeze every electron for max efficiency. GM said forget all that isht: just make the thing have a battery big enough to power a battleship and you don't need to worry about drag or weight or efficiency. Make it how we WANT it, not how it "has to be". GDF'ing right. Now when the Hummer shows up, the California types are "EV haters", eh? See how stupid this name calling is???

  4922.  @BullGator-kd6ge  ...in training....LOL.

  4923. Today is a decisive day. Ukraine has reached the first "observation line"; about 5km from the first actual defense line; the area made famous as "Bradley Square". This is in Zaporizhzhia near Robotyne, which is in the Tokmak defense sector. This is probably the most heavily fortified area in all of the annexed areas, and one of the four most likely attack routes everyone estimated a year ago. There are five defense lines in front of Ukraine; they have not yet reached the first (5km from it). The Lancet drones here are so numerous they fill the sky like flies. The mines are so thick, you could walk from Orekhov to Tokmak without getting any dirt on your boot. Artillery here falls like rain; and the Krasnopol laser-guided shells can hit a single vehicle from 25 miles away. The Ka-52s and Mi-28s, unbothered since Ukraine has no air force, now have new LMUR missiles with 15km range, even better than the 8km range of the Vikhr missiles that murdered the Ukrainians back in July. Behind all this, sit hundreds of T-80BV3 and T-90M tanks; ready to pounce upon whatever survives the Dantes Inferno described before. Not with 500,000 men could Ukraine do this; it is folly. Today is the day the war ends.
    2
  4924. Oh, CNN cares about babies being bombed now? Since when?
    2
  4925. Russian drone superiority is massacring AFU. The Abrams pulled because it can't survive swarms of $500 piranha drones that attack it like angry hornets. RU has taken more territory in the past week, than AFU took in all of last summer's offensive. Patriot so far have been very difficult to destroy as AFU keeps them far west to protect the main cities, but as the Russian steamroller moves inexorably west, there will be fewer places for it to hide. Zelensky's doom is upon him...
    2
  4926. Lol. Putin is actually doing both quite well. Cope harder
    2
  4927. The West is twisting itself into knots trying to maintain the fiction that there is a difference between itself and those it labels its enemies.
    2
  4928. Russia killed them all pretty quickly with an airstrike. Gather up the bodies, find the origins of their vehicles, weapons, and equipment and who they really are. We know Ukraine sent them, but we need to find out if NATO was directly involved. This has the smell of CIA all over it.
    2
  4929. RU has to show why the "no Western weapons used in Russia" rule was in place for 2+ years. NATO changed their policy suddenly to enable this attack, Russia has to change its "policy" suddenly in return..."
    2
  4930. Russia done being nice
    2
  4931. It is 30 nations vs. 1; there is no shame in using a nuclear weapon on this proxy army should it prove impossible to stop conventionally. However, by that same measure, if Russia somehow defeats this NATO army, they will cover themselves in glory forever. A thousand years from now, people will speak of them in the same breath as Sparta or Cannae
    2
  4932. You launch the Second Operation Barbarossa, using NATO equipment, NATO trained troops, NATO intelligence, to achieve the NATO objective of taking Kursk, and you expected what in response? Harsh language???"
    2
  4933. Wow!! Go Russia!!
    2
  4934. So every autocracy, regardless of its actions, is a threat? Hong Kong is an autocratic government. These guys with their "Convert or die" ethos want us in a state of perpetual war.
    2
  4935. Wasn't that myth debunked in March?? You still with it? You must be Antony Blinken... 🙂
    2
  4936. Everything was fine unitl NATO tried to destroy them using their own cousins in Ukraine. Why can't NATO just back off and admit it didn't work?
    2
  4937. Why Macron transform so suddenly from Dove to Hawk? Could it be due to Wagner helping to kick France out of Niger and the 25,000% rise in the price of uranium that Niger is charging France??? Nahh, couldn't be...
    2
  4938. Not surprised. A loser in life, a loser in death.
    2
  4939. That's about it. Virtually everything gained during Ukrainians spring offensive is taken back by Russia after less than two months
    2
  4940. $65K is base M2 or ZL1 territory, WITH A MANUAL. Come on, there is NO way this can hang with either of those for the money. Now, if Nissan would just build some of the base models...
    2
  4941. In America, "Far Right" means goose-stepping nazis or obese 8th grade dropouts in camo running around the woods pretending to be soldiers.
    2
  4942. A few thousand in a war with over one million already deployed is tactically nothing; yet Zelensky looks scared, Rutte sounds scared. Why the West so afraid of a few thousand inexperienced soldiers? What do they know that we do not? Did Kim somehow create a Super Soldier Serum and these guys are a bunch of Captain North Korea's???
    2
  4943. A Brit whining about all those he crushed and robbed in far off lands, now living right next to him, crushing and robbing him, falls on deaf ears to me. You want them gone? No problem. Give them all the money you stole and deport them. Easy. You'll have to live in earthen huts like you did when you had woad on your faces, but you'll be free of the "others".
    2
  4944. The West is complicit, right? They are deeply involved in this war from its inception in 2014, correct? So how can they be the "moral arbiter"??? It is laughable....this isn't "morality", it is just one power taking the money from another because it can. Nor, does it have "precedent" since Russia is not at war with any country mentioned; those countries would have to declare war on Russia to at least be able to use the precedent of WW2. Call it what it is.
    2
  4945. "Oh, Superman, where are you now When everything's gone wrong somehow? The men of steel, the men of power Are losing control by the hour" ... There's too many men, too many people Making too many problems And not much love to go 'round Can't you see this is a land of confusion?"
    2
  4946. @ruger6049 Hahahaha! 5 F-16s will shoot down 50 Su-35s?
    2
  4947. Source: trust me bro?
    2
  4948. He is right; many noticed that change in tone a few months ago. First, DU shells, then Storm Shadow; together with the well known instance of Johnson torpedoing a viable peace plan back in December, it is abundantly clear that the UK leadership is just as committed to war as the Biden Administration. Unfortunately for Sunak, hitching his political future to that of Biden risks the same outcome should Ukraine fall. Russia is currently stomping a big, fat hole into Ukraine's arse so badly that Zelensky is today pointing the finger at NATO for the debacle. Biden hurriedly approved ATACMS yesterday; what will UK do in a moment of panic?
    2
  4949. ...but Ukraine has no materiel superiority, Russia does. Imagine Normandy with the Wehrmacht having 4x of everything the Allies had. A bit different...
    2
  4950. Why is this guy doing a "roadshow" publicly talking to anyone who will listen about his "victory plan"?? Such a plan should be secret right? Because he is trying to box Joe Biden in and set him up as the fall guy. "We lost because Joe Biden said "no", not because of me..."
    2
  4951. Yes, but US apologized.
    2
  4952. Wow Joe! You caught me off guard with this one! NOBODY is aware of this thing; I was watching it for a couple years waiting for an Abarth to drop under $20K. Stop telling people about our little secret!! :-)
    2
  4953. Of course it has. AFU used only two battalions as they can hardly spare more of these well-equipped troops what with the Russian flag flying over Niu York yesterday. It was a PR stunt by the comedian who wanted to re-enact the "Battle of the Bulge"..."
    2
  4954. Joe Biden sharing cluster weapons so liberally among the people of the world
    2
  4955. Russia is going crazy today; reports of Tu-160s , bunker buster FAB glide bombs, Wagner has flanked the last AFU strongpoint in Bakhmut, Brits say there are 100 T-90Ms in the South waiting for the Leopards (it is British so this is probably wrong)..some say Putin told everyone "finish Bakhmut in 24 hours". Not sure what the punishment will be if they do not. Tomorrow is going to be a big day.
    2
  4956. A tactical nuke on Orekhov with a yield of about 500 kt would end the war today. Come on, Putin. Do it. You know you wanna...
    2
  4957. Russia will rebuild and populate it in record time and it will then become an immovable object in solidifying the annexed region for the next 500 years.
    2
  4958. This security agreement just changed the dynamic. All those plans France, Germany and UK were making to attack Russia now have to be updated to deal with North Korea too. That's two nuclear powers Macron and Scholz have to deal with now, instead of one.
    2
  4959. Holy schitt.... Everything my parents said in the 90s about people with tatoos has turned out to be true.
    2
  4960. 22 mpg hwy on a 518hp SC V8 in a vehicle weighing 5500lbs??? Uhhh, that is impressive.
    2
  4961. A tad hypocritical, eh?
    2
  4962. I can't believe Syrsky even took that job a few months back. A job Zaluzhzhny said was hopeless a year ago. Napolensky is going to start ordering him to send in "Army Group Steiner" very soon (if he hasn't already). Even Biden believes Zelensky may be trying to draw the US into direct war with Russia: ""...But Ukraine is fighting for its survival. It would accept direct US involvement in a war with Russia. According to a recent book by David Sanger, Biden even suggested to his aides that Zelenskyy might be deliberately trying to draw America into a third world war..." Financial Times - 8/26/24
    2
  4963. Almost 200 missiles and drones, and only 18 killed?? IDF would be very angry at those results....
    2
  4964. Better get used to it, a year from now everyone you meet will be a "Russian troll"
    2
  4965. Wow!! Slava Rossiya!!
    2
  4966. Next he'll say Russia has a Star Destroyer, and beg Biden for a Death Star 😂😂😂
    2
  4967. I really wonder how all those civilians feel about Ukraine coming to "liberate" them from their own homes.
    2
  4968. A textbook example of gaslighting by the Biden administration and their mouthpieces in the media: "Give Zelensky what he demands or the man over there we don't like will be happy!"
    2
  4969. One can see the writing on the wall. Ukraine War not gonna last even to Trump's Inauguration; he will take office with the war effectively over, technically beating his boast that he'll "end it in a day" of him becoming President.
    2
  4970. Zelensky decison making: 2021 - "Nahh, the Russians aren't really coming; they just massed 50K on our border to scare us." 2022 - "Nahh, I won't take this negotiated settlement offer, UK promised me 1000 Challenger 2's, 10,000 Storm Shadows, and 250,000 155mm shells for free. I can take it all by force what Putin is offering to divide." 2023 - "Nahh, I'm sure only half of this $20B NATO army is needed to break through Zaporizhzhia, the other half can shore up outside Bakhmut. The Russian conscripts in the south will run when they see the first Leopard 2" Anyone else now realize who Ukraine's biggest problem really is?
    2
  4971. While IMF, World Bank, and many other independent economic sources say the exact opposite. Ok Mr. "They only have shovels" Clarke....
    2
  4972. As an appliance, you can't do much better. Zero emotional involvement though. A 2.0t makes more hp and torque (at lower rpm!) than that V8. The best toaster you can buy 🤣
    2
  4973. Terrible. I feel so sorry for this lady and her family. I lost a dear friend to a drunk driver in 2015; I really hate people who drink and drive...
    2
  4974. Poles in 1612. Swedes in 1708. French in 1812. Germans in 1941. Now, the AmeriBrits in 2024 (whose proxy army contains Poles, Swedes, French, and Germans). Are ya'll noticing a pattern here?? I'm not European; what is their major malfunction with Russians about? Is there a reason Europeans keep trying to invade Russia???"
    2
  4975. I would complain about the low bond, but having seen dozens of similar news stories like this over the years, that is about what they give for this kind of crime. You can wipe out a dozen people with your car and run away and your bond will be at most $100K.
    2
  4976. Yes the Stelvio compares well with this. Really a toss up between them.
    2
  4977. China, India, and de-dollarization. Putin already fighting (and winning) the "war" of 2040 while NATO still struggling to find shells for the war of 2024😂
    2
  4978. Ukraine and CIA put the fake posts online and spread them. Pretty good PsyOp if you ask me.
    2
  4979. Even though The People just voted down that policy. Do it anyway! Who cares what voters think! Fascism!
    2
  4980. I think by now Ukraine has killed 100 million Russian soldiers.
    2
  4981. I could not believe finance companies and banks were financing the mark up too. If a guy wants a Civic Type R so bad he puts $25K cash on it, fine. For a bank to LOAN $70K on a $45K car is insane
    2
  4982. Russia has destroyed literally thousands of Ukrainian drones, mostly by jamming them. That's why after almost three weeks, very few Ukrainian drone vids; no more "watch me drop a bomb into an open hatch" vids like we saw the past year? Why? Russian jamming is so intense and pervasive.
    2
  4983. So, they are attacking right where Russia has always expected them to? Charge of the Light Brigade part deux.
    2
  4984. This meeting has nothing to do with Ukraine; that round is already won. Russia by itself is already producing almost 3 times as many shells as US and EU combined. This meeting is about the world after the Ukraine war. NATO may take the "L" on this first round, but they are making sure that doesn't happen in round 2 or round 3, and of their opponents in the wars of 2026-2032, North Korea is the weakest. Putin, fully aware of this, is shoring up his supply chain AND making sure NK is a stronger ally 3 years from now.
    2
  4985. What mattered more, when WW2 ended or how ?? I'll wait....
    2
  4986. Even after 18 months, who is this telling Ukraine the Russians will just stop, quit and go away if NATO kills some commanders?? Did you see Lavrov this weekend? Does he look at all like a man worried about the outcome? Lavrov gave Biden/Zelensky ultimatum: "Capitulate on Russian terms or Ukraine will cease to exist as a country." Not much nuance there... Diesel fuel recently having shortages in Russia. Speculation is army is stockpiling it for the Steamroller Phase. North Korea has a million shells ready to ship to their new ally. Everything is in place; Putin just needs to give the word.
    2
  4987. He's sad he's been out of the spotlight for a month after taking Bakhmut. This guy is a Diva....
    2
  4988.  @CaptainHarris-ip2kg  Yes, they have. Weeb Union, DPA, MilSum, others all reported many attempts to cross the border south of Kursk over the past two weeks. All repulsed.
    2
  4989. I don't know if this was Putin's "plan" all along, but I voted Biden and there's no way in hell I'm doing so again. Come hell or high water, Zelensky is on his own about one year from now.
    2
  4990. We wouldn't. Until recently most Americans know damn well not to get into a ground war with Russia on their turf
    2
  4991. Well, after yesterday's massacre of every Ukrainian attack, today Russia has officially announced the start of its Lyman Offensive. My guess is five weeks from now, it will be a very different story than Ukraine's offensive-----if there is even still a Ukraine that is.
    2
  4992. She could have remained an opposition voice in Russia no problem. But when she went to the West and got on EU Parliament to criticize her own country she became a traitor.
    2
  4993. Why is this news. If it's on Ukraine soil it's fair game.
    2
  4994. I've been skeptical all along of North Korean troops actually being deployed to fight, but I'm a believer now. I saw a vid of a railcar full of at least a dozen monster M-1978 170mm SPGs entering Russia. Only NK operates that and I doubt Russia would spend the time to train their artillery brigades on a weapon so different from anything they've used. To me that means NK is there and they are there to fight.
    2
  4995. Hmmm $75K for this, or the same amount for a Chevy Suburban High Country with the 6.2 V8, covered in leather, can tow a battleship, magna-ride suspension, HUD, Supercruise, carries three more humans, and 30 more cu.ft. of cargo. Let me think about it...
    2
  4996. ....and was denied for the 3rd time in two days. The truth is out. 2+ years of lies can no longer be hidden; the Bear is almost done with Ukraine, and no the United States is not going to war with Russia to save them...."
    2
  4997. Joe started the war and now its blowing up in his face. He rushed some Abrams tanks to Ukraine but Russia will massacre it just like the Leopard and Challenger. This foreign policy disaster is 100% on Biden
    2
  4998. ATACMS are just rockets----they are not stealthy, they are not hypersonic (about Mach 3). Any modern AD system can shoot them down. Of course not all of them; especially if fired en masse maybe only half will be shot down. They are rather big (610mm) , unlike the Russian equivalent Tornado-S (300mm) which makes the Tornado-S more difficult to shoot down, though the ATACMS has about 100km longer range due to its size and propellant capacity.
    2
  4999. Right on schedule. If there are poorly armed people to push around, the US military is Johnny-on-the-spot. If they have nuclear missiles, US Navy stays in port...
    2
  5000. RU enabled "Israel Mode"
    2
  5001. So in Putin's interview with Tucker Carlson, he was telling the truth about what happened and it has been Ukraine and NATO the true liars all along?
    2
  5002. "We didn't know nuffin about it!"
    2
  5003. This is basically the Russian version of the Jan 6th attack on the US Capitol
    2
  5004.  @Crashed131963  a lie. NATO always knew it could stop Russia, the only issue was the time it took to assemble a large enough army. Everyone knew the Baltics and Poland would be gone by the time NATO checked them.
    2
  5005. No, the US won't. Joe Biden cannot start a war without Congress authorization, and he can only do so if Congress or UN gives him "statutory" permission, or the US is attacked first. Not gonna happen. UK doesn't have its own satellites so it can't do anything without US.
    2
  5006. While 800 Su-27s and Su-35s wake up from slumber and say "good, our first catch of the day".
    2
  5007. UK may as well admit they lost the war. "We will sanction you forever" is an admission they can't change history
    2
  5008. only because of $300B. That's is about to end forever, and none of these Baltic States going to get a free $300B..."
    2
  5009. Niger has won!! They defeated the NATO vampires without having to fight!! Now, France goes home, pays the market rate for ALL resources, and Niger no longer has to beg (and obey) the West like a good little pup. Soon, only Ukraine will remain as the good little doggie of the West.
    2
  5010. Zel is offering to sign the deal but Trump is still PO'ed at him so it'll probably be at least a week or two till they kiss and make up. Russia will ROFLstomp them during that time.
    2
  5011. Funny how these "partisans" happen to show up two days AFTER the Fall of Artemovsk. CIA hoodlums, nothing more. Most are dead already anyway.... Next.
    2
  5012. So could NATO. Four more years of this Democrat Party BS and CNN telling us Ukraine is "winning"?? God no. Voting Trump...
    2
  5013. That is it? That's what the West has gotten after almost FOUR months of the "Grand Spring Offensive" that was to break through to the Sea of Azov just in time for the NATO summit in Lithuania on JULY 12th. NATO really believed they would have shattered Russia so completely in just SIX WEEKS that Putin would have been a broken man by the middle of July. The gap between that and reality is the measure of just how massive a failure this offensive was. Past tense on purpose because this thing is over----rain is coming in a few weeks and no one is moving anywhere. NATO openly admits Russia is outproducing it in ammunition and every single one of the NATO-trained brigades with the "wunderwaffe" are engaged and being attritted as we speak. That's all we got for our $100B: Andriivka and Robotyne. Pre-war population 74 and 520 respectively.
    2
  5014. LOL, that is more Russians than have even deployed so far in this war. The 300K reservists called up in September have not yet even seen combat.
    2
  5015. You can tell just by looking at it that its construction and material quality is two planets apart from any Tesla. I honestly don't understand how people buy such unmitigated junk from Tesla. Do they see or sit in them before they buy them???
    2
  5016. Poland has been in Ukraine fighting Russia for 18 months. Wagner has killed many of them. Remember the bodies Wagner found on the outskirts of Bakhmut in December? They were Polish mercs that had their hands and heads removed after they were killed so Russia could not confirm who they were. Go look it up; all well documented.
    2
  5017. The craziest thing about this is I can see the Toyota heritage in that engine bay. I can see details all over that remind me of my first car---a 1985 Supra I got in 1989. The bolt heads look similar, the pipe fittings look similar, the routing of the piping itself looks similar. I bet half the stuff in there has "DENSO" written on it. LOL.
    2
  5018. Beautiful. Friends helping friends...."
    2
  5019. Trump's "motivation" is he doesn't believe in war as a way to solve disputes; everything can be negotiated without war. He also doesn't believe in American Imperialism; because he feels people should pay for their own defense. That's why we voted for him. Ukraine is going to end up a lot like what Vance described. Russia keeps Crimea and the Republics, there is a "DMZ" area along the border between Novorossiya and Ukraine, and what's left of Ukraine is neutral. Ukraine can have military agreements and arms from China (maybe France) , but NOTHING from the US or UK.
    2
  5020. This is better than "Houe of The Dragon". If this drama goes into the Fall TV season, HBO, Hulu, Netflix and Disney stock will all crash to nothing....
    2
  5021. A traitor to Ukraine? How is that possible when one is not Ukrainian?
    2
  5022. There's a reason that a tiny BMW 2-Series costs even more than these HyunKia twins even maxxed out at $50K: you get what you pay for. There is no free lunch in life. My buddy has a '22 Palisade and yes it is huge and roomy and comfortable and has good tech, but at just 10K miles I was loading stuff in back and I could hear a rattle coming from the exhaust. If you get this at $35-$45K and drive it until the wheels fall off, it is a good deal. Anything more is a waste of money; these are low-to-mid end cars at best.
    2
  5023.  @DreadX10  😂
    2
  5024. Duhh, these were the guys he was complaining about for a year. In a way, Prigozhin may actually get what he wanted (though he may not live to see it): he wanted Russia to take the gloves off; he felt the war was mis-managed and the MoD too "soft", too tame, too limited in what they were willing to do and this policy cost Russian lives. Based on today's missile strike directly on NATO mercenaries in Ukraine----the Russians seem a bit more aggressive now. Prigozhin may get his wish of the "Bear unleashed".
    2
  5025. Zelensky sends cluster rockets (provided by Czech Republic) that land in downtown Belgorod last week where there is no military for miles, hitting 100% civilians. I really see no reason he wouldn't approve this type of operation as it only differs in scale from what he already openly does.
    2
  5026. Nashville??? Who the hell was rushing to move to Nashville??
    2
  5027. BMWs aren't THAT unreliable. I bought a 2012 Jag XJ SC with 50K miles 5 years ago, and its at 108K now, and I replaced the water pump and engine fan. That is supposed to be one of the most "unreliable" cars on earth and I spent about $1200 in repairs. I expect ANY German car to get me to 100K without issue; getting to 200K and beyond? No, I don't expect that. I generally expect 150K out of my American cars, 200K out of my Japanese ones, and 100K from any Euro---with normal maintenance , wear-n-tear only. Of course I can pay to make even the German go 250K, but who the heck would do that??
    2
  5028. He said "Odessa is Russia". That'll be going back into the fold next year....
    2

  5030. The crazy part is the West doesn't really have much more to give when it comes to long range missiles. Napolensky already has the most potent ground-launched stuff, and the best air-launched stuff from UK/FR. Germany aint giving Taurus under any circumstances now that its proven Ukraine blew up Nordstream 2 costing them $600B. US has Tomahawk which has very long range, but you need a ship or sub to fire it. The new JASSM-ER probably can be fired from an F-16 but its range is only about 50 miles more than ATACMS and its very new and very expensive. There is no more "escalation room" ; just as Obama said in 2015 when he refused to arm Ukraine: everything we would be willing to give, RU can overmatch resulting in Ukraine just being wiped out in the process""

  5031. Ukraine leadership is stupid; I can't sugar coat it any longer. Encirclement after encirclement after encirclement. They are idiots. In 1871, the French lost the Franco-Prussian War and lost the Alsace-Lorraine region along with it. This was bitterly humiliating for France as that region is among the most beautiful (and wealthy) regions of France. They never got over it and this was a major part of why WW1 started 40 odd years later. The French were smart; they lost the war but let the land go and didn't destroy a million of their men trying to save it. Time passed, and an opportunity to get it back presented itself and they got it back. Zelensky and his nationalists can't see the "long game"; so they are willing to doom whatever number of Ukrainian men trying to recover this land. Land can be recovered by future generations, but if you have no future generations because you spent them all??? Not smart...

  5036. He's not worried about corruption because most of the money "for" Ukraine never actually makes it to Ukraine? It goes directly to Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman, who then deliver new weapons to the US Military who stores them in the warehouse emptied the day before of old weapons which were shipped to Ukraine. So that explains perfectly why the US has now told Zelensky to negotiate; the old weapon stocks are gone---we've sent all the stuff gathering dust. Even Biden doesn't want to send Ukraine BRAND NEW stuff (because Russians will shoot it down or disable it and capture it and then learn all our latest tech). So, this was a proxy war with a built-in timer: Ukraine better win with all our old stuff, because when we run out the war is over.

  5039. It looks like a Jeep Commander/LR Defender/Wagoneer had a three-way and someone got knocked up. Toyota knows what Americans want. A rugged looking, Land Rover-ish, SUV for a lot less than a real Land Rover (and will last twice as long). 90% will never leave paved roads but who cares----that hasn't stopped Land Rover from making a pile of money for decades.

  5045. All this bitching and moaning. I have three teens, born and raised in Texas where 40C is normal from June to September every year. The past two weeks its been 41 to 42C every day, and they walk to the store for snacks, wearing long sleeve hoodies, and never once say to me "its hot!". This has been going on for years. I used to ask them incredulously "aren't you hot??" and they'd just look up at me from their iPhones and shrug their shoulders. They are used to it; they were born in it and their bodies began adapting from their first summer on the Earth. All humans will eventually do the same. In 2123, people will walk around in 50C weather, wipe their brows, and just shrug their shoulders and say "oooh, its a little hot today, eh?"

  5046. I would not trust the Americans at all----Biden cannot politically afford for Putin to win----he will do whatever it takes to help Ukraine if he can get away with it.

  5048. 100 years ago British Army was pretty bad-ass. Who could forget the iconic recruiting poster with Kitchener's pointing finger and the words 'Your Country Needs You' However, by 1939 no one was afraid of the the Brits on land, only on the sea. The Japanese ran them out of SE Asia with ease, and no one was under any illusion what would happen if the RAF lost the Battle of Britain. Since the end of WW2 they've been respectable, but that is it. Only shepherds and terrorists fear them. To become something intimidating by 2030 is a tall order.

  5063. No surprise here. Mainstream media finally reporting what we already know; Ukraine has only old men and teenage boys left. They have to start sending their women to the front. Of course they'll fall like leaves under the Russian steamroller just like the men, but it won't matter to Biden. Biden knows his re-election hinges on not letting Putin win; Biden will arm Ukrainian toddlers with cluster bombs before he will let a Russian victory take him and the Democrat Party down to defeat.

  5064. They and 500,000 of their countrymen all still be alive today if Zelensky hadn't listened to Nuland and Blinken whispering in his ear "use our weapons and you don't have to negotiate. Our NATO stuff is alien technology that will easily beat Putin's drunken army." Zelensky chose poorly...

I can count on one hand the number of EVs I see driving through Oklahoma City during rush hour.....its usually zero. Just last week I was in Oklahoma and gas was $2.80/gal. Nobody with any sense buys an EV when gas is that cheap.

  5068. A week ago, Ukraine evacuated several towns along the border on both sides of the Belgorod region. Today, (for first time in months) Russian artillery hitting areas to the E and W of Belgorod on the Ukraine side of border. Kharkiv mayor increased the pace and size of mobilization in the city. Oh, and Russia retreated from Kharkiv on September 10, 2022. Putting it together? You know how Putin loves to celebrate anniversaries.😀

A weapon named for the sound it makes as it is withdrawn from the human body?? Damn...

  5076. It is basically now a race to see if Russia can flatten AFU first before France and Poland rush in to save whatever is left of Ukraine.
    2
  5077. I will admit that I am very surprised that Russia has not decisively defeated Ukraine to the point even their die hards see no choice but to talk. Ukraine fighting Russia is like a soy boy fighting Mike Tyson; if the soy boy manages to hit Mike, it is nothing really to Tyson, but it is a big deal to the soy boy (and his fans). There are signs that Putin has been holding back all along, not really wanting to vaporize the entire landscape of Ukraine (this restraint created Prigozhin). However, there are also signs Russia legitimately is at the limit of its ground combat capability---the dismissed General speaking of how he lacked enough of almost everything to truly defeat his opponent. Russia has 1500 combat aircraft yet only the Su-24s see any constant action; Ukraine no longer sends up fighters so the Su-27s and 35s have nothing to do. The bomber force could level cities with tons of dumb bombs, but that wouldn't do much militarily and in any event they are content to just be missile trucks for precision strike. There is a 100-ship navy that is doing almost nothing; a few Kalibrs a week. Maybe its both? Russia is holding back AND is near its limit on the ground?
    2
  5078. Sigh. Yet again I have to pour cold water on what's this now, the 34th or 35th "game changer" party? 😂 Hard Truth: They called HIMARS a "game changer" too a year ago. ATACMS is fired from the HIMARS launcher, so the launcher Russia has been hunting and destroying for almost a year now is still the weak point. Just last week the latest version of Lancet attack drone hit a Ukrainian Mig-29 almost 80 km from the front line; its max range was previously 40 km and is now unknown. To reach further ATACMS must be in the sky longer giving AA defense more time to shoot it down. Next year this time we'll be debating the next "game changer"

  5079. No time to train Iran on the GPS jammers, drone jammer, S-400, and Iskaner-M. Had to send the troops to operate them...."

  5080. Of course Ukraine must compromise. Yesterday was yet another disaster on the front for them, more Leopards destroyed, and worst of all, video of Russian's partying in front of a perfectly intact Bradley that was abandoned by its crew. We KNOW there have been secret "back channel" talks between US and Russia on ending this farce, Ukraine complained loudly last week about it and of course Biden is like "I didn't approve that" wink-wink. Zelensky knows all of this: it is why he is lashing out at any NATO member who is not 100% for what he wants; his time is running out. As we always knew, the US is doing to work this out directly with Putin and Ukraine will have to accept it.
    2
  5081. It looks like an Alien attack beetle
    2
  5082. Sure, because Ukraine has 30+ "buddies" giving them $100B weapons for free. However Russia has an MIC that builds all of theirs, while Ukraine's Sugar Daddies can leave at any moment... 🙂

  5083. Was the NPP really the objective??

  5084. 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.

  5085. I think there were two destroyed yesterday so it is actually 8.4 million wasted...

  5086. That looks like a 1985 Mitsubishi Mirage Turbo time-warped to 2021. Makes sense in a way, Mitsubishi basically taught Hyundai and Kia how to build cars over the past 4 decades so it is good to seem them pay homage to the company that helped them.
    2
  5087. LOL. France? 40 152mm CEASARS in their inventory. UK? 40,000 combat troops is all they have. Germany? 200 Leopard 2s, and no strategic bombers at all. Don't make us laugh...."
    2
  5088. LOL. They only using 5000 for this attack so by your logic the troops AFU is currently running away from are Undead Warriors. 🤣
    2
  5089. Can someone ask him why RU was able to walk 20 km into Ukraine and all the fortifications supposed to be there were not?? It's our money we keep sending to Zelensky and most of it keeps disappearing!!
    2
  5090. The shell fired by such a hacked together lump of parts is just as likely to land in Cleveland as to hit a Russian armored vehicle.
    2
  5091. The Russians will have a three year combat experience edge by the time the war starts.
    2
  5092. This is "Biden's War" now. The lines were where they were, both sides willing to start talking, no real need to add fuel to the fire. Then Biden blows it all up to spite Trump
    2
  5093. This war is not working for Ukraine and their NATO masters because it was never a "just" war to begin with. All Russia wanted was no NATO weapons on its border or US Navy bases in Odessa; both only there for but one purpose: to threaten Russia with destruction. This is not conjecture, as recently as 2019 US Navy publicly issuing contracts to refurbish and expand old Soviet Naval facilities in Odessa. In Zelensky and other Nationalists, NATO found a willing partner in putting a noose around Russia's neck; one the US could loosen or tighten as it saw fit----turning Russia into its slave. None of this is in dispute; if you believe NATO is "good" and the rest of the world "bad", you support this kind of "soft" tyranny as you think we are bringing the Light to dark places. If you believe nations are free to choose their own path, regardless of what the "West" thinks of it, then you can come to no other conclusion other than NATO is an instrument of tyranny and must be defeated.
    2
  5094. LOL. The West does not possess even ONE operational hypersonic missile. Continue to cope though by all means...
    2
  5095. Sounds better than "being steamrolled"
    2
  5096. This is laughably absurd. Umm, no he will not be "punished" under such a law. Ukraine has a Legion of English and Polish speakers too---mercs all the same, right? Yevgeny Viktorovich Prigozhin has basically turned himself and his company into rock stars in the non-Western world. If he survives this war (and why wouldn't he, he is the CEO so he'll never put himself in actual danger), Wagner PMC will have more business than it could handle in 100 years.
    2
  5097. which the Ukrainians have none of.
    2
  5098. These towns and cities falling like leaves now have almost no damage; apartment buildings may have a few missing windows is all the damage I see when Russia takes them.
    2
  5099. Yet you believe Ukraine MoD without restraint?? LOL. Yes, you are dumb...
    2
  5100. Back when I believed in NATO....."
    2
  5101. Many pro-Russian sources are puzzled about the Kursk invasion. Many expected the strategic weaponry to come out if NATO dared to attack Russia directly and.........two weeks in, nothing more than Russia fighting the same way, just now on their own land. Maybe the Kursk thing just isn't really a threat to Russia's existence (yet)? Or they feel their vastly more militarily valuable gains in Donbas are worth losing a bit of non-critical territory for a while?"
    2
  5102. You should hear the bitching and whining on WaPo today over the article about US intelligence believes Ukraine cannot meet their objectives. People there calling it "traitorous" to speak poorly of Ukraine's chances. An American citizen who thinks Ukraine sucks is a "traitor"?? An American citizen who elevates a foreign country to the same status as the United States is the traitor I would think! Biden supporters have lost their GDF'ing minds over this military misadventure.
    2
  5103. Ukraine aint no "country"; we American taxpayers paying all their bills for three years and counting. They are on the level of Puerto Rico to us..."
    2
  5104. What happened to the big "pro-Ukraine Russian" offensive meant to show Russia that Putin was a bad leader???
    2
  5105. History will show Ukraine's own actions beat it as much as Russia has. One MAJOR weakness of AFU is their near fanatical obsession with posting themselves on social media. They richly earned the nickname "tiktok army" two years ago. No matter how many times this bites them, they can never seem to break the habit. Last week they get a new General Syrsky, and what do they do? Blast all over social media and telegram that "they are coming to save Avdiivka" So, Russia, with drones all over the front 24/7 sees a huge spike in traffic in rail junctions that lead to Avdiivka so they sit and watch. This morning, when THOUSANDS of AFU were in a town named Selydove at the rail marshalling junctions, they showered the town with 1500 lb. cluster bombs and Iskander missiles. YouTube will not allow me to post a description of the results...
    2
  5106. If its true Avdiivka has 15,000 AFU and many NATO mercenaries (and is the basis of Ukraine's position in Donetsk since 2014), then it has to go. Russia has to take it to cleanse all of Donetsk so if it takes 500 vehicles, 10,000 casualties and four months, so be it. It is worth it to win the war.
    2
  5107. What do all these countries get in return with these "security pacts"?? We here in the US got nothing for our $100B investment...
    2
  5108. The Cope in Western media is starting to froth like a milkshake in a blender. Joe Biden just now at the UN: "Putin has failed in Ukraine. What's left of them is still free and we got a new NATO member. We won!" 🤣🤣🤣
    2
  5109. It is actually against both the Hague and Geneva conventions arising out of WW1, to use weapons that intentionally blind and maim, because it is considered inhumane.... But who cares, it's Israel right? They run the world so the rules don't apply.
    2
  5110. Ukraine conscripts and 67 yr old men are scurred....
    2
  5111. Wow, I thought torching a village went out of style in 600 A.D. or so? Funny all the Western gloating below of Ukraine CLEARLY burning residential buildings on purpose, not from errant missiles. A year from now Kyiv will look like Bakhmut----the gloves are coming off on both sides.
    2
  5112. Very terrorist-ish... Seems all the T-80 tanks, TOS-1A rocket launchers and BMP-T Terminators in that location didn't receive a scratch, only the homes, businesses, and cars.

  5113. "....and as you can see the entire block of Petropavlivka village was erased...." Military Summary reminds you to condemn any violence in the world...🤣🤣🤣
    2
  5114. Beginning of the end ...
    2
  5115. Amazingly well done. I knew much of this but only from reading books; for decades I had to fill in the details with my imagination. To see bricks with Roman numerals in the walls of Churches built decades after Romans left is brings it home like no words on paper ever could. Imagine what our world would be like today had Rome just maintained what it had around 200 AD.
    2
  5116. Not only that, France will now pay 25000% more for what they were stealing all along. Niger has won!!!

    2
  5119. Russia has 90% of the land it wants. Even a stalemate is a defeat for Ukraine and NATO. The political blame games and finger pointing in US and UK politics will be felt for years. The only question now is will Biden send in troops and risk political suicide or allow Ukraine to be crushed.
    2
  5120. I'll never forget "the verdict". I was on lunch break from my job in a downtown highrise, the food court was packed and all the big screen TVs had the channel to the LA courtroom (yes kids, at that time no one carried a TV in their pocket). When the verdict was announced there was stunned silence....probably 500 or more people all in suits or a dress....utterly quiet. I quickly pivoted and headed straight for the elevator to get out of there because at that time I was 24 and fresh out of B-school; and I am black so at that moment there were probably 480 very angry white people in that food court and maybe 20 black people at the most. I was worried somebody may see me and take out their anger on me and I didn't want to ruin my very expensive new suit. You'll never understand it if you didn't live through it. A lot of things changed in America after that verdict.
    2
  5121. Zelensky is coming to meet Biden and (of course) beg for more billions in weapons. Telegram channels are alive with rumors Lavrov is going to deliver Russia's ultimatum to Biden and Zelensky while he is in the US. That ultimatum will be something along the lines of: "Here. Take these terms or we will destroy you all utterly."
    2
  5122. Love the looks of this, but in the 2.0 Turbo four class the Giulia is unmatched so I bought a Giulia. However if I find a 2020 XE R-Dynamic around $20K in four years I may grab one for fun. I have a 2011 XJ-R and all I've replaced is the water pump and one of the sun visors.
    2
  5123. BINGO!!!! Give this man a cigar!
    2
  5124. Cluster warhead on civilians. Remember when Joe Biden said "cluster weapons used on civilians are war crimes"?
    2
  5125. Just like in late 1943....the Russian steamroller is about to be unleashed.
    2
  5126. It is, but not enough to me to be a deciding advantage. Any car will give you 10 years and 100K miles with just fluids and wear out items. Yes only the LS will give you 15 years and 200K miles but not everyone wants to drive the same car that long. Give me a Quattroporte SQ4 for six or seven years and 75K miles. I'll feel more emotion in that time than I would in 30 years with an LS. Feeling good has value; life is too short to drive boring cars.
    2
  5127. With what?
    2
  5128. I hear its ATACMS only (no new missiles), and only in Kursk, so Biden might be trying to inch forward without starting the Third World War. Either way, it makes life more difficult for Trump, which is probably 99% of the reason Biden changed his mind...
    2
  5129. Sudzha pop. 5,000. Meanwhile, RU: Konstantinyvka pop. 70,000 Niu York pop. 10,000 Toretsk pop. 30,000 and the big prize Pokrovsk, pop. 60,000. All either partially in RU hands, or defense lines breached. After Pokrovsk, there are no more defensive lines for the next 25km east..... Ouch."
    2
  5130. Lol .. everyone knows it was Britain doing this all along and just letting Ukraine claim it. Don't even try to spin it anymore.....we heard the spy recording
    2
  5131. Still flyable? They need them
    2
  5132. Move some more sand around...
    2
  5133. He is right. If US opts out; EU cannot finance the war. Simple. Hard. Truth.
    2
  5134. Zelensky demanded 1000 tomahawk cruise missiles in his "Victory Plan". Apparently he didn't realize they can only be fired from a submarine or warship, and Ukraine has no submarines or warships...
    2
  5135. Scholz said today it's time to negotiate and end to the war; Germany already announced reduction in aid to Ukraine by 50% next year. VW is closing factory for first time in 87 years; the first of many victims to come in a German economy shattered by the Nordstream destruction, forcing it to pay for gas from America at 400% markup over Russian gas. Kursk failed, the south is being steamrolled, Zelenskys new recruits are in their 60s, and Austin said "long range missiles won't change anything". Its over...."
    2
  5136. Don't fight a war as a beggar...good life lesson.
    2
  5137. Endless lies to justify the US war crimes in using cluster bombs, nothing more
    2
  5138. As a child in the 80s and 90s I read all the books, watched all the documentaries, went to all the movies that fantasized about US vs. Russia on land, sea and air. Now, as a man with three children all under age 20, I am thankful that's all it ever was----fantasizing. Hopefully the next 20 years will be the same about fantasizing about US vs. China. So, let's play! China's equipment has very rarely been tested in modern era and the few times it has over the past decade hasn't been very impressive. Just like their cars, motorcycles, and most everything they make, they cut too many corners to save a buck. Now, if China and Russia have successive leaders that continue what Putin and Xi started, and meld Russia's tough, real-world equipment mastery with China's chip fab and manufacturing dominance, together they could easily be strong enough in 20 years to keep the United States out of their business for the next century...."

  5139. $30B goes straight to Zelensky to pay salaries for everyone and float a "country" with no income. $18B goes directly to Lockheed Martin to replace the stuff Biden cleared out to send to Ukraine six months ago. Only about $12B is "net new" and of that there's only one Patriot system in there ($2B for that one alone). If anyone believes this will do anything other than keep the war going another month or two, they probably believed this whole thing was a good idea back in 2021...."
    2
  5140. A lot of questions being asked in morning news worldwide. Did NATO just attack Russia? Evidence piling up of US real-time targeting and overwatch during attack. That is more than just "support"
    2
  5141. as long as the enemy is losing more, you are winning, correct? The point of war is to win. The West fights "play war" like Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, etc. where they don't actually want to win, just to make a point or regime change. In those cases casualties are to be kept low for the West. However when your countries' life depends on it, the West WILL send you to your death just like the Russians do.
    2
  5142. 100% accurate. Agreed.
    2
  5143. Why would it? Iran attacked Israel
    2
  5144. In many ways, everyone reading this has no idea what a world without NATO looks like because they've never lived in one. Trump is extremely flawed, but sometimes in life, the wrecking ball you tried to avoid, knocks down the wall you never would have on your own....
    2
  5145. Their doom is upon them
    2
  5146. Once Ukraine's army breaks itself to pieces in Zaporizhzhia, the Russian steamroller will be unleashed and the 300K reservists sent forth in a flood to permanently "demilitarize" Ukraine. Some in NATO will howl loudly for US to stop them (really the only NATO country that can), and in an Election year there is a 0.0000003% chance Biden tells the American people he has to send their sons and daughters into the teeth of a battle-hardened and pissed-off Russian Army to save what's left of Ukraine. At that point Biden will have to do everything in his power to keep the Russians out of Warsaw...
    2
  5147. Now that Su-35 with FAB-3000 has entered the chat, its ggwp for Ukraine. There are no fortifications inside Russia in which to hide....."
    2
  5148. By June Zelensky will be asking for a QE or Ford super carrier, and Biden will be scrambling to give it to them.
    2
  5149. There was an article last week in the National Interest, a neo-con outlet, and the author flat out stated "...the Ukraine War has proven the T-72 is the best tank in the world..." A lot of US MIC heads are exploding this week....
    2
  5150. That's why so many coup attempts the past two months. Zelensky's ego is too large for him to end a war he helped start (and continued even when it was basically over). Won't end till one of these coups succeeds and a person who is objective can get in there...
    2
  5151. NATO is scared; you can tell Zelensky is scared because today he demanded Tomahawk missiles with 2400km range; missiles that require a warship to fire them and Ukraine has no warships. They are scared for good reason too. These North Koreans are not conscripts grabbed at bus stops like Ukraine uses; they are special forces . That means already trained in tactics, vehicles, weapons; sure they lack experience, but AFU's conscripts have no experience either and only 3 weeks of "training". The North Koreans will carve up Ukraine's Territorial units like a Thanksgiving turkey...
    2
  5152. Saw one fully intact and abandoned in Avdiivka being finshed off by Russian FPV drones. Not many tanks visible the past week in Avdiivka for AFU in general tho...
    2
  5153. No coup. A week ago , Putin backed the MoD position that Wagner should come under control of the military. This is a temper tantrum because a couple months ago Wagner said the Army put mines in their path as they retired after the capture of Bakhmut.
    2
  5154. Everyone in NATO is looking for the exits. Poland has zero love for Zelensky. Germany said NO to Taurus missile. Slovakia said no more weapons or aid. UK just embarrassed themselves with the "training in Ukraine" reversal. Canada has destroyed its reputation for a generation. Now, the biggest Sugar Daddy of them all is running low on cash. I'd tell Zelensky to negotiate, but he wouldn't and its too late now anyway. Russia smells blood in the water, and they said last week they were going to make Ukraine "cease to exist as an independent country". No one on earth can stop them now...
    2
  5155. I've never seen arrogance of this magnitude on the part of the United States in my lifetime. I don't know how other countries can even stand to allow the planes of US diplomats to land.
    2
  5156. Imagine a country, feeling threatened by another on its border, proactively engages and eliminates the threat BEFORE it grows too strong. Imagine that. Where have I seen this before??
    2
  5157. Saw this coming as soon as the Fed announced major rate hikes were coming back in '21. Let the banks take all that isht. 2 percent rates and worthless kunts living with their mother or using Grandma to co-sign and working double shifts at Amazon drove all these prices into the stratosphere to begin with.

  5158. I'd love to see the W2's of the guys who buy these....LOVE to see them....

  5159. NATO should arm Palestine by logical extension, but we all know they won't. The Western "rules based order" is completely arbitrary

  5160. CNN people?
    2
  5161. They nailed it on the interior, I'll give them that. However, I wouldn't touch this thing with a 10-ft. pole until at least five years has passed. The drivetrain is solid; the 6.4l and ZF trans is bulletproof. It is the electronics that terrify me. Chrysler/Dodge has never in its existence been the "high quality" domestic brand and pushing the envelope on the electronics side is virgin territory for them. GM and Ford over the years bought up former defense contractors for electronics, and generally have not really tried to be the "front runner" in that, which is why things like the DVD/Nav/Radio head unit in a 2012 Traverse/Enclave/Lucerne/Acadia still works perfectly over a decade later. If all those screens are still working fine in 2027, then I'll believe in Jeep in this segment. We shall see...
    2
  5162. Of course it does, just like the "space weapon" scare tactic. Never let a crisis go to waste. Bill has $60B for Ukraine, $20B for Israel, $15B for Taiwan (mostly to buy replacements for what Biden already sent them). Its a massive giveaway to the defense industry. Say NO
    2
  5163. Looks like the amateur bloggers were right yesterday: This was Ukraine covering its redeployment from Kherson to Zaporizhzhia region where they were blunted two days ago. They could not move their main combat force from Kherson without risking the Russians just walking through there in their absence. They blew the dam to ruin the area for offensive action for either side. It appears the NATO-trained hammer blow is going to strike in Zaporizhzhia. Ukraine only has one army; it can't be in two places at once and if they split it up it will be weak and easily crushed in detail. The "Big Dance" is going to be in Zaporizhzhia (no surprise, it was either Kherson or Zaporizhzhia).
    2
  5164. How is losing 25K soldiers out of over 300K (that is just ground forces, Navy is 150K, Air Force is 250K) going to "hurt" Russia?
    2
  5165.  @115ffpfcandthephantomtreble  True, but Wagner were not the only engaged unit in Russia the past 15 months, correct? Something like 160,000 Regular Army have been there all along, and Wagner had no artillery units, aviation units, etc. they had to rely on Army for such support.
    2
  5166. Lol RU been using Poland as a waypoint for it's missiles for two years now 😂😂
    2
  5167. So that means I no longer have to pay your salary and pension right? Can you send us our $3.9B back that you got last month??
    2
  5168. Lol. RU has 1500 combat aircraft
    2
  5169. With Trump controlling 90% of what keeps Ukraine afloat, and now Orban in EU giving Zelensky the Hard Truth, this war is already over. Nobody wants to be the last man to die so entire brigades of new conscripted soldiers are surrendering. Its over.
    2
  5170. Just proving Obama was right in 2015 when he refused to arm Ukraine as he knew this would be the result..."
    2
  5171. The point is the weapons are not purchased , they are given , which really blurs the line between WHO is actually fighting and WHY. If Germany gives me a Leopard 2 to invade my neighbors lawn, am I doing it for me or for Germany (or both) ??? It is pretty clear if I bought it; but not so clear otherwise..."
    2
  5172. Yes, they will. You fucced up; YOU had a chance a year ago to pretty much keep everything you had at the time. YOUR decision. YOUR consequences.
    2
  5173. Last week 300, two days ago 1500, today " thousands" , next Friday it will be one million NK troops....
    2
  5174. LOL! What happened to the absurd Ukrainian MoD "200K" dead figure from January that idiotic Blinken kept repeating like a fool?
    2
  5175. Israel is in a tough spot. They MUST do something or they'll appear weak and if their enemies sense blood in the water they'll come 10 x harder than they did last week. Yet, if they try to bulldoze Hamas, they WILL take thousands of casualties.
    2
  5176. 40% of EU citizens want NATO to pressure Ukraine to negotiate. When that number reaches 50% , that is the end of the EU money spigot.
    2
  5177. Stupid comment of the day (its still early here in Texas). Russia is on THEIR OWN land; not halfway across the globe.
    2
  5178. Zelensky is a dictator now who has abolished all elections and terrorized his opposition. No longer any justification to support Ukraine as it is no longer a "democracy" (nor was it ever really).
    2
  5179.  @deselby6669  "National Security Advisor, Jake Sullivan, claimed that F-16 fighter jets sent to Ukraine would be unlikely to have a significant impact on the battlefield. Sullivan also said that "Russia has 800 to 900 fourth- and fifth-generation fighters." Ooohh, you need some painkiller to help with that cranial rectal inversion??😂😂
    2
  5180. I saw the Wagner posters there in Warsaw yesterday and I laughed so hard. "Prigozhin trolling Poland so hard" I love Wagner; imagine how boring this war would have been without Prigozhin and his merc army. I'm going to wear T-shirts with their emblems, their tag line: "We know we are going to Hell, but in Hell we will be the best." , etc. Those guys have written themselves into the history books----but ONLY IF RUSSIA WINS. If Russia loses, NATO will write the history and Wagner will go right next to the Fedayeen Al Saddam. Slava Rossii!!
    2
  5181. Ukraine trading lives for land, Russia trading land for time. 2023 campaign season is about over. Winter is to rest, rotate, and train up new Legions for Spring 2024. Putin this week authorized 147,000 drafted between now an Spring, plus the 280,000 Medveyev said they recruited this year with bonuses, debt forgiveness, citizenship, etc. So thats 427,000 more ready by next year this time. AFU is sending 71 yr old men to NATO training, demanding countries send back male refugees, now conscripting women. Russia hasn't even had to raise its draft eligibility age max from its current age 27. Ukraine can win battles, but they will never win the war.
    2
  5182. They all voted two or three weeks ago...
    2
  5183. Voting out Blinken is more important than voting out Joe Biden.
    2
  5184. Nigerian Army tested these a few months ago and reported they sucked at gunnery. Has China improved them??
    2
  5185. What is the difference between "Wagners" and "Storm Z" units of RU Army. Storm-Z has been in battle for weeks now, nothing new about that. They are former Wagners who signed on with Russian MoD. That sounds exactly like what these additional forces referred to as Wagners did. Are they different? How?
    2
  5186. Depends on your perspective. To a Westerner, yes; to a person living in Nigeria, Kenya, or Mali that is not true at all....
    2
  5187. Smart. New tech always has problems; but the true disaster would be to let NATOkraine get their hands on it.
    2
  5188. I live in Dallas and a cousin of mine bought a new-construction townhouse a couple of years ago. When I went to visit her, I'm upstairs looking around and saw a half-height door in an odd place and was like "what's that?". She said, oh that leads to the roof where the AC is. I opened it and there was a little platform area built into the roof that wasn't really visible from the ground. The AC unit was there while the indoor equipment was in a little attic area between the outside and inside doors. Having lived here 20 years and been in the attic of several homes I've lived in where it was at least 125 degrees, I thought "what a great idea!" If it was the heat that got him, hopefully these new construction trends in hot areas will minimize the risk to future AC techs.
    2
  5189. 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.
    2
  5190. "To Live and Die in L.A." came out in 1986....that place has been a toilet for decades.
    2
  5191. I would like a mini episode totally focused on what this air raid hit. So many targets in so many places, and West media will never report it. We could learn a lot by analyzing what RU is targeting...."
    2
  5192. Yes. Oh and YT is removing videos now coming in about the status of Avdiivka. (Hint: not good for AFU). Free Speech! Yeah!
    2
  5193. "Germany allowed the Allies to land at Normandy so they could encircle them!" 🙂
    2
  5194. Wow. The Tu-22M story if true is a major problem.
    2
  5195. ...at this point may as well send buses to help with the current exodus of citizens from Kharkiv. All we can do now is move the population of Ukraine further west
    2
  5196. you know Stalin won, right?
    2
  5197. He is the new Zelensky correct? CNN will name him man of the year. Biden has already approved HIMARS and cluster shells. We must act! For democracy! Slava Nigeri!
    2
  5198.  @Chrisn7j  Glad you enjoyed it Borys.
    2
  5199. Convincing yourself that every opposing voice in the West is a "bot", is precisely how both Sunak and Biden are going to get their asses thrown out of office next election.
    2
  5200. Like the citizens of the Empire in "Star Wars", NATO citizens cannot see what it has become. Niger, robbed of 95% of its wealth for decades by France, threw out their PM and now people who won't accept being a servile dog of France are in charge. Most Westerners would say "great" and "wonderful" and "all the best of luck in improving your lives!". No, they don't say that. France and the US now are sending soldiers and weapons to enforce THEIR dominance; to restore THEIR boot upon neck of Niger's people. Is that the NATO you thought you supported?
    2
  5201. NATOs advantage is the entire reason for the war
    2
  5202. In 2010 to be "woke" was to just be aware of history and its impact on those living today. Just be "aware" that the guy next to you may have advantages (or disadvantages) not of his own doing; things that happened to his family or people like him before you all were born. Essentially "don't judge a book by its cover". Now, "woke" has become turned into something no one would recognize. A man can get pregnant. A woman can have a penis. All Religions are "bad". Just a gallery of insanity now; the term has become meaningless.
    2
  5203. LOL....high profile guys are really super sensitive about this. They can't even joke around with each other..."You're on the list! Hahaha, no you're on it! Hahaha" Rodgers was clearly just roasting Kimmel, but I guess when it comes to Epstein, he's so infamous no one can even let a joke slide.
    2
  5204. My 2011 XJ SC has "12/10" on the sticker... almost TWELVE years since this 470 hp land missile left the factory. Only have replaced the water pump at 80K miles. That AJ V8 and ZF combination is like a Toyota Land Cruiser and I don't trust the BMW V8 they are going with after this year. Gonna give the XJ to the teenagers and get the F-Pace SVR before it's gone forever.
    2
  5205. Admiral Ackbar: "Its a trap!"
    2
  5206. At least he is honorable. He sent those trainers there and they were demilitarized. He took responsibility for his failure. Zelensky has failed for three years and has never once taken responsibility for his disaster...."
    2
  5207. Yes they prioritized aero too much, imho. It works-----the EQS 580 is getting 375 miles real world----but yeah this is a car you only can enjoy while you are inside of it.
    2
  5208. Every news story that reports Ukraine is losing, all my comments are deleted by YT. All I say are things like "good, the war will end sooner" or "the faster it ends the more lives saved".... Things like that. I was born after Vietnam so I don't know how it was then, but I no longer believe the West has "free and open debate".
    2
  5209. Wow. Finally some nato bots realized Putin has gone easy on Ukraine the whole time because they are related nations ; his problem is the Zelensky Nationalists; not the average Ukrainian Joe...."
    2
  5210. The only metric that matters is what was the cost. If Ukraine said "ok, we accept 3000 casualties and 100 vehicles to take this town", and they take about that amount, they are "winning". If they lost 6000 casualties and 200 vehicles, Russia is winning. We just have no idea yet
    2
  5211. Something must have changed; I've watched hundreds of vids of Iskander strikes over the past two years and maybe only ten of them ever showed up on Western Media. RU must have hit something very, very important if SKY ran this story...."
    2
  5212. Wrong. UK donated, UK supported, UK intelligence, UK command, UK objectives = UK tanks."
    2
  5213. Why would Russia agree to share, that which it can take whole by force?
    2
  5214. It is also possible the dam thing broke and NEITHER Ukraine nor Russia actually willfully "did it". Who knows, for now the Grand Offensive is in Zaporizhzhia. Focus there Sky; unfortunately it won't be pretty for your side...
    2
  5215. 300K casualties in two years of war sounds reasonable; matches with US estimate yesterday of 70K KIA (wounded is usually 2/3 x number of killed) for Russia. However AFU has had its entire army destroyed twice over already; the one fighting today is its third generation. AFU losses in the same period are about 600K total, with 300K KIA. With Russia being 4 times larger than Ukraine by population, Ukraine is being drained of its men at a rate EIGHT TIMES higher than Russia. Easy Russian victory.
    2
  5216. Ukraine has been trying to take Bakhmut back almost since the day Wagner kicked them out. That is THREE MONTHS ago now and not a single Ukrainian inside the city limits. It will take Ukraine 9 months to take Bakhmut back, it took them 9 months to lose it.
    2
  5217. Good thing those British officers weren't on duty at the Patriot battery in Ukraine. Otherwise this POW plane would have gone down too...."
    2
  5218. it may just take longer. one of mine didn't show up at first but then 5 mins later it was there
    2
  5219. The Challenger tanks hiding like frightened toddlers while the T-80s and T-90s are running wild smashing Ukrainian soldiers
    2
  5220. I do get a laugh out of this guy, especially the crack about Zelensky. However, I wouldn't trust him as far as I could throw him. He just channels "Trump Energy" in a more socially acceptable package. He is smart, presentable, great smile, but underneath there is nothing as he just says whatever he thinks will get him votes. These types are very, very dangerous because it is only AFTER they win you find out what they really are.
    2
  5221. Vote Trump. End the war before its too late. What does it matter if half the northern hemisphere is immolated??"
    2
  5222. Biden showed us early on that he was going to throw a galaxy of our money away on foreign blunders....."
    2
  5223. "No loud music"??? What is the point if you can't turn up the tunes when you see some baddies walking by and get an impromptu public booty dance?? That's not Spring Break, that's Church. If I were 22 again I'd go someplace else...
    2
  5224. If its on CNN or BBC, it's a lie

  5225. Definition of "Steamroller" = Slow, but steady gain every single day, almost boring, then one day you turn around and there behind you to the horizon is a perfectly flat road (or country).
    2
  5226. US Sen. Lindsey Graham said there are "trillions" of dollars of critical resources in Ukraine that he doesn't want Putin to have. Add in the Ukraine farm leases bought up by EU and the LNG storage, 40B euros a year to protect all that is cheap. Unfortunately this means they'll never negotiate and RU will just have to take the whole place
    2
  5227. Anything out of Ukraine about Russia you simply have to throw away as absurd propaganda. 270K killed means wounded is KIA x1.5 on average so another 400K wounded meaning total RU casualties almost 700K when they have never even had that many to deploy. Pure Ukraine MoD bollocks. Not even worth discussing further
    2
  5228. To see Velkya Novosilka now covered in red when just around Christmas the place was completely yellow is sobering. How many AFU were surrounded and captured in the south of the city?
    2
  5229. Let's imagine Ukraine somehow pushes the Russian army out of all this land (fantasy I know, but humor me). All these people in the video, what happens to them? They have to flee lands they've lived on for centuries ahead of Zelensky's ultra-nationalist nazi's, like Armenians are doing right now? Is that their "future in NATO". Good luck with that; those two old ladies will be in a trench smashing NATO troops before that happens...
    2
  5230. How is that even possible? My buddy just bought a base Palisade two weeks ago for $34K out the door. I don't believe anyone is paying these prices for "common-man" type vehicles. Raptors, TRX, Demons, Cayman GT4s, Z06s, yes, people will pay over to get niche vehicles like that. I don't believe people will do that for a Civic or a Camry or a Telluride , etc.
    2
  5231. Zelensky asked for 25 Patriot systems, that is about FORTY BILLION US DOLLARS . Who has that to just give away? Especially since they'll never see them again as Russia will destroy them?? WHO?
    2
  5232. Putin has always fought this war the same way Abraham Lincoln fought the US Civil War; not too fiercely, not too much brutality, not too much scorched earth. Lincoln knew the country would have to heal afterwards, Putin is convinced of the same. However even Lincoln reached a point he had to unleash Sherman because the Confederacy wasn't getting the message...."
    2
  5233. CNN has blood of thousands on its hands for carrying the Biden Admin water for 18 months. The Bear is now fully awake and its pissed off. I said it before the war even started: Western people have no damn clue what Russia is. If they did they'd never get into a land war with them on their territory. At Stalingrad the police had to put guards around the cemeteries to stop people from digging up the freshly slain to eat them (the horses, dogs, cats and rats had long been consumed). They'd rather be cannibals and fight the enemy than go against their political leaders; the more you burn them, the STRONGER they get. At Leningrad, the Germans would take a town, and 30 days later half the town would explode from the hidden Russian bombs---killing hundreds of Germans eating their breakfast. Today, the average Russian hasn't even had to switch his diet to Ramen noodles yet and you think they'd rise up against Putin?? They haven't even felt a shred of "hardship" yet and their capacity for it is almost limitless. Russia CANNOT be beaten on its own turf.

  5239. Russia dropped 50% of Ukraine's electrical power grid in one night. That is the Bear Unleashed.

  5240. The West freaking out like children whose candy was suddenly taken away. 110 years ago, at least FOUR European Armies were so large, well trained and well equipped, they would have mopped the floor with the United States. Germany alone had a navy that could have slapped the US Navy aside like a bear pawing a salmon. You Eurpoeans have suckled so long at the US, you've forgotten you are adults.....

    2
  5243. Now CNN is supporting people being trained as terrorists and insurgents?? No amount of spin or psy ops by Ukraine can hide it. Russia has defeated Ukraine in Bakhmut and NATO has lost control of the narrative because everything they've said over the past six months has turned out to be a lie. Now, we are hearing that Biden is demanding Zelensky start the offensive now---no more waiting, no more hand-wringing, no more hoping for better odds at some future date. Use the $50B in weapons we've given you and attack them now.
    2
  5244. Did Hamas take only 21 year old supermodels? That seems to be the only type of hostage CNN shows to us. Wonder why....?

    2
  5246. Three comments deleted by YT. You can't stop it Google; we can think for ourselves and express our opinions. These bunkers will be speed bumps only...
    2
  5247. Finally someone admits that it is the US (Biden) pushing Ukraine to "roll the dice" as opposed to having peace talks. This is Bidens War now. Russia has massive artillery advantage and manpower advantage, they know where Ukraine must attack, and they have total Air Superiority. This is a fight Ukraine cannot win, but must try anyway to justify all the resources the US has given them.
    2
  5248. Of course they had to reject it. Biden wants to be like Putin....a dictator. All you Millennials with $80K in student loans (but drive a $60K Tesla), pay it back!

  5250. Most of the military analysts say these drone strikes are evidence of the failure of Ukraines offensive to have any success on the ground. All the Leopard 2s are gone. French AMX10s are on flatbed trucks in Mariupol as war trophies. The Swedish CV-90, the best IFV in the world at the moment, drilled by an RPG7 designed in 1960s and captured. These are FACTS. If Ukraine's army were having success, their offensive air power would be used to support the ground offensive, not blow out office building windows 300 km away. It is time to negotiate. Long past time actually, but the offensive has been defeated. With no air cover Abrams will be blown up just like Leopards. A few F-16s are still months away and won't change the outcome of this offensive. Then its winter, Russians still sitting right where they are today, and rested with more tanks and more ammo. Armistice. Now.

  5251. At the test range, in perfect conditions, vs. poor people, NATO weapons are superior. In the dirt and mud for months, with battle damage hits from multiple weapon types, vs. a peer opponent, Russian weapons are superior.

  5252. Stand firm GOP. The second you give the DEMs what they want to save their proxy war, they'll forget all about the border.
    2
  5253. Even the Klansmen in the room were stunned into silence when she gave that answer. They were like "...wow, there was this thing called Slavery, right?" To answer it and make NO mention of Chattel Slavery makes you wonder if she did it on purpose, or is truly that ignorant of American history. Ask her who attacked Pearl Harbor; she may say it was China.
    2
  5254. Zero chance but they'll respond, which is already more progress than EU made in three years. Zelensky is such a comedian. Last week he proposed ceasefire that excluded the ground Frontline. Now, as Russia just broke Ukraine in Kursk, Zel offers a ceasefire that includes the ground Frontline. That guy is funny! 😂😂
    2
  5255. LOL. Just six months ago, the entire Western Media apparatus interfered in Russia's election by elevating Nalvany to the level of a Holy Man, in a weeks-long wave of propaganda expressly designed to destroy Putin's re-election chances. How is it that so many millions of otherwise intelligent US citizens seem to have blinders on when it comes to Putin and Russia??
    2
  5256. All that would have done is delays the inevitable. Russia has the 2nd largest air force on Earth after the United States. To defeat them you'd basically have to "gift" Ukraine an air force comparable to Russia's. 50 F-16s would just turn more of Russia's Su-27 top guns into aces. What you say is pure fantasy.
    2
  5257. SKY is basically openly full of lies on this one. Even Ukraine has acknowledged there were NATO mercenaries that were the target of this missile strike. Mostly British ones and none of whom have any legitimate business in Ukraine other than to help kill Russians. Challengers are next; and if Sunak still doesn't get the message, maybe a Zircon strike on a Daring-class will make it stick.
    2
  5258. Couldn't have anything to do with RU taking 8km in 15 days, and an 11km breakout just today with AFU on the run?? Nahh, probably has nothing to do with that at all...
    2
  5259. $15 an hour minimum wage laws by Democrats. "It'll be fine, everyone deserves a living wage" they said....
    2
  5260. US/UK trying to draw Iran into open war. Houthis have missiles in the air before the smoke from the last US/UK attack even cleared....this isn't about them.
    2
  5261. A lot of chatter today, ex-CIA publicly saying this was a "NATO strike". NATO has done more in this strike to "directly attack Russia" than the accidental drone parts in Romania were "directly attacking NATO". Has NATO stepped in to increase the effectiveness of these Crimea attacks to try to increase Ukraine's bargaining postition since the Offensive has failed to do so?
    2
  5262. NATO was never on the side of righteousness in Ukraine; never had the moral high ground. The 2014 Coup, the lies, the duplicitousness with respect to Russia, the ulterior motives, the arrogance in choosing the destiny of people who you never asked, etc. That is why I knew in December, 2021 NATO would fail.
    2
  5263. Wow. The shooter had a record a mile long, basically a scumbag long before he committed this crime and STILL he got probation? Hard to argue the Justice system is unfair to black guys anymore....what a deal this guy got!
    2
  5264. There is only 3000 years of history confirming that war stimulates economic output in the parties' economies (assuming they are nations that produce most or all of their war materiel). Biden acknowledged this but the narrative we got was they "couldn't keep it up long enough"; that restricting their oil/gas revenue would eventually bankrupt them. Of course, as always, it comes from the inherent Western superiority complex why it never occurs to them Russia could, you know, increase efficiency and productivity to maintain themselves in a declining revenue environment. Any Western company or country would do this and all wouldn't expect anything else; but Russia? No, the Russians aren't smart enough to do that...
    2
  5265. 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.
    2
  5266. This is basically a Japanese version of the Chevy Traverse High Country. If you only need if for about six years while the kids are small enough to fit in the 3rd row, either one will do. If you want to keep it forever, get the Toyota.
    2
  5267. Another proxy war? Kenyan Army sending JDAM bombs into Haitian gang hideouts?
    2
  5268. AFU mining buildings is straight out of USSR playbook. At Stalingrad, Kursk, etc. the Red Army would retreat from towns and lay mines and bombs everywhere. Some timed for 30 days later. Wehrmacht troops would be eating breakfast three weeks after taking the town thinking they are safe and the whole building blows up. Von Paulus, Von Bock, and Von Runstedt used to complain bitterly about the tactic.
    2
  5269. So basically its "victory or death" for her? Good luck with that, I'm sure Russia will be happy to accommodate her dream. We however are out of it; their problem to solve. If they are too stupid or intransigent to see they are beaten then let them be wiped out. Their choice.
    2
  5270. Multiple high-order secondary detonations...."
    2
  5271. Not yet. WW2 didn't start "offcially" until 1939, but Spanish Civil war and Manchuria are now included in "WW2" so it really started a few years before.
    2
  5272. Wow! A good story? What is that one out of ten thousand horror stories every day? Better give her an ex-special forces personal bodyguard to get her safely through the next four years.
    2
  5273. Russians have so many captured NATO weapons they actually now have enough experience with them to have a preference for one or the other. Between Javelin and NLAW, the Russians prefer NLAW as it seems to work the same no matter the weather, while the Javelin seems to perform poorly in bad weather. I would laugh for days at the irony if a NATO atgm is the first to take out the Challenger 2. I thought the same two months ago about the Leopard 2, but none of them survived long enough to get close enough to infantry; the mines and Lancets murdered them far from any trench. Ukraine is now close to an actual defense line so much better chance of an infantryman getting that bonus from Putin.
    2
  5274. The Western Media really pumping this up. BBC had an analyst saying this was Ukraine's "Doolittle Raid". I mean, Ukraine has sent drones to Moscow for months, drones just like this that blow out windows in someone's condo or dentist's office. Could it be the TOTAL failure of the Spring Offensive why the media is trying to make us forget about that?
    2
  5275. Wars always reach their highest level of intensity of violence right before they end. Ukraine can't have much in reserve; they've been low on manpower and ammo for months, Russia has blown up many ammo dumps all month, and you can see that Ukraine is hoarding its remaining Leopards/Bradleys/Challengers and only using T-64/72 in all its attacks the past two weeks. The apotheosis of this war is upon us soon...
    2
  5276. Europe has planted the seeds of its own destruction. You cannot invite other tribes into your lands WITHOUT assimilating them. They MUST adopt your culture (Gods, way of life, etc.). Their women MUST marry your men, not ones from their tribe. The resulting children raised in YOUR culture, not that of their forebears. If you simply allow in other cultures intact, eventually you will have war within your borders. My goodness the Romans knew this 2200 years ago, the Greeks 2800 years ago, and the Phonecians 3200 years ago. What is Europe's excuse???
    2
  5277. F-16 "advanced fighter jet"....LMAO. First flew in 1976---before half the people reading this were born.
    2
  5278. Oooohhh! "1000 sq. kms" Sounds like a lot. Oops, Crimea is 26,000 sq. kms ----- only 25,000 more to go for Napolensky...."
    2
  5279. Look at him. Russia stronger and vastly more influential than ever. I am certain Russian history books will call him "Putin The Great" in the future....
    2
  5280. Biden doing his best to start WWW3.
    2
  5281. Look how long it has taken----TWO YEARS!----for the West media to actually pay attention to the people in Crimea and Novorossiya that now are in year THREE of voting to be Russia. You'd think an objective media would focus first on the very people whose decision is a key part of the conflict??
    2
  5282. Ukraine announced yesterday they are building largest military cemetery in possibly the world. At least as large as Arlington National Cemetery in the United States, and the war isn't even over yet. Ukraine is 10% of US population with same size military cemetery. Let that sink in...
    2
  5283. Belarus shot down a Ukrainian drone. Showed its parts and all from EU / US etc... LOL.
    2
  5284. Yeah right. RU moved enough troops to the area now. Party time is over..."
    2
  5285. Are you from the future? In 2023 we can't even send astronauts to the moon
    2
  5286. Trump----again-----made a point like the crass, bloviating gorilla that he is-----but, again, he was right I despised the guy in 2020, but he gets my vote in 2024. I still don't like him, but I rather have him than the likeable but feeble-minded war mongering Joe Biden.
    2
  5287. ...and when they get an Aegis destroyer, F-35s, F-22s, a Ford-class supercarrier, an Imperial Star Destroyer....then the counteroffensive will work, right?
    2
  5288. Meaning US/NATO has been the World Bully all along?
    2
  5289. Putin went to the "table" six times this year already!!! Every time Biden and Zelensky said "no" 😂😂
    2
  5290. These are the best family road trip vehicles on earth. The IRS and MagnaRide , plus a 5.3l V8 that can get 22 mpg hwy with six people and all their luggage inside = unbeatable.
    2
  5291. Crimea and the Territories voted to stay with Russia (and Zelensky then attacked them). Russia didn't "take" the land, the land chose to go to Russia.
    2
  5292. Yes, and then Zelensky will ask for an aircraft carrier and NATO will give it to him...
    2
  5293. I hear some NK Top Gun pilots going too. This is going to get very interesting very soon; all year just been the boring steamroller flattening AFU everywhere.
    2
  5294. People are being pressed into service in Ukraine now; of course they are running out of men. They are going to have to put their women into combat soon.
    2
  5295. 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.
    2
  5296. As soon as you make it big, you should become celibate for the entire duration of your time "on top". The risks are simply too great; people immediately want to take it from you before success can even get warm in your hands.
    2
  5297. All those EU airliners whose GPS didn't work last week? Yeah, US military says RU jamming from Belarus and Ukraine areas so intense JDAMs, missiles, etc. almost nothing using GPS is working for AFU anywhere near Kharkiv. US DoD says they are "investigating a systems upgrade" LOL,
    2
  5298. Yes, they are.
    2
  5299. There are reports that they were wearing Russian uniforms which, if true, is a war crime under the Geneva Convention. Surely they knew this and likely didn't plan on surviving very long after contact.
    2
  5300. All this with about 6,000 Russian troops....
    2
  5301. Two Ukrainian brigades were disbanded this weekend after one surrendered and another fled their positions in Chasiv Yar. Three monster Army Groups are massed for the RU summer offensive. It is the beginning of the End. Even if Ukraine aid passed today, it would be over a month before the first shell arrived.
    2
  5302. Germany to Ukraine Army: "You guys got all our Leopards killed for almost no gain, now no one else wants to buy one. You guys suck!"
    2
  5303. As long as they pay up front in cash. No more "aid" to the nations of the world who want to wage war ....... war on your own dime
    2
  5304. 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?
    2
  5305. 70 year olds heading off to the Front. Just like another country headed for inevitable defeat exactly 80 years ago. All you that support what NATO has tried to do should be ashamed of yourselves. These grandpas heading to their doom is 100% your fault...."
    2
  5306. Reports all over coming in that the powerplant was destroyed by the new Kh-69 (a stealth version of the existing Kh-59) cruise missile. A target in the heart of Kyiv surrounded by whatever few Patriot and SAMP/T batteries Ukraine has left. Didn't matter one bit. So Russia now has stealth cruise missiles to go along with their new stealth fighter. Good job Biden and Boris. You woke up the Bear, and now he is far more powerful (and angry) than he was two years ago. Well done, Vicky!!!"
    2
  5307. THREE missile and drone barrages on Odessa in just the past 24 hours. Su-34s have been running wild the past two weeks along the Kupiansk Front as Ukraine's air defenses, clustered around Kyiv and Odessa, cannot stop the Russian onslaught. 100,000 soldiers, 1000 tanks, and enough rockets for a century of 4th of July's are now bearing down on Kharkiv and there is nothing to stop them. If NATO has any more "game changers" to try before the Armistice Talks, the time would be now....
    2
  5308. Andor reminds me of one thing over and over. When the person at the top---the King, Queen, Chieftain, Emperor, etc. has no moral limits----that quickly filters down to every level of leadership beneath that person. Soon, people who may actually have once had moral limits lose them, and those who never had them, become emboldened to commit horrific acts of depravity without even thinking about it. No, you can't avoid its message about the recent history of the United States.
    2
  5309. Agree on this. I recently learned the hard way you cannot assume even a car under warranty its whole life before you bought it, was maintained.
    2
  5310. Just before the Ukrainian Grand Spring Offensive, I listed all the objective reasons they'd fail, and I was 100% correct. Why? Because 90% of each sides' capabilities were public knowledge. Every weapon can be looked up online, the brigades are tracked by bloggers with more accuracy than State Intelligence agencies. There is a plethora of factual data on modern land warfare. Here, only Hamas can accurately gauge their chances as only they know their true strength, and the data on close combat in an urban environment is inconclusive. The defenders and attackers on average do about just as well as their opponent; and the percentage of Pyrrhic Victories is much higher.
    2
  5311. Of course it handles well; its an Alfa Romeo underneath and few on this Earth know handling better than the Italians. However, forget this one. At $52K that is way too much for what that is and all that hybrid garbage just make it more unreliable. Now, the GT at $29K is a steal. That one has slightly detuned Giulia/Stelvio engine which is a stout motor capable of hurling a base Giulia to 60 in 5 seconds. Simple, cheaper, and hauls azz. That is the one to get.
    2
  5312. LOL. Harris' "danger" is war with Russia in which we ALL go to Valhalla! Whatever Trump's "danger" is, it isn't annihilation!!! Give me Trump!"
    2
  5313. Pathetic desperation by Biden
    2
  5314. My goodness that thing is art on wheels. Its just so ** beautiful look at. I know they don't have all the features or tech as the Benz/BMWs but they drive like F1 cars, have butter soft Italian leather, and look like a supermodel. To a car enthusiast, what else matters?
    2
  5315. Putin out last night with adoring Russians cheering him all around, this morning at a Tech Fair doodling on a TV.... Yeah. "Stricken".
    2
  5316. Where's the vid of the AFU guy stealing a T-64 and driving it to RU lines to surrender at night?? Very dramatic
    2
  5317. Of course Kelly says this; he is a Democrat and the war against Russia is a Democrat policy war. A few GOP are on board (just so they can make some money off it, like Lindsey Graham), but the philosophy behind going to war with Russia is 100% DEM.
    2
  5318. I learned more about knots working three months on the Nebraska Furniture Mart customer pickup dock than in my entire previous 40 years of life. People think I was in the Navy whenever they see me tying down things for the beach, vacations, etc. 😂
    2
  5319. Russia just publicized all the names of the French mercenaries they demilitarized in Kherson with an Iskander missile a few days ago. French ambassador a week ago "there are no French mercenaries fighting in Ukraine". French Ambassador a couple hours ago: "well they are French Foreign Legion so not French Army and we didn't send them there, they went of their own decision." He doesn't even realize he just contradicted himself. 🤣🤣🤣
    2
  5320. The US lead in Air Power is insurmountable as long as we keep investing in it. The only way for China (or anyone else to match or exceed us is for us to stop funding innovation for 20 or 30 years). Our only competitors, Germany and Japan, were destroyed 80 years ago and prevented for decades from building an aircraft industry. It would take something that cataclysmic for us to lose our lead. However that does not mean we have a "Death Star and can Rule the Galaxy with an Iron Fist" as many of our politicians, military hawks, and more than a few citizens believe. Those who yearn to stay out from underneath the American boot, just need to be strong enough that the cost to us to overcome them is too politically high. That bar is very, very low----losing 100 planes is politically unfathomable so just being able to do that means any nation can live Free of American subjugation.
    2
  5321. Poland sent Ukraine a bill for $23B. Imagine what our bill will be by the time Russia crushes Ukraine
    2
  5322. I want to believe these kinds of people have always existed; that it isn't because of how America has changed the past 30 years. We didn't have police cameras in 1984-----maybe this was happening then all the time? Anyone who was a cop in '84??? Was this as common then as it is now??"
    2
  5323. ...and how will Russia know when these NATO weapons start targeting their nuclear infrastructure (which Ukraine has already done), that its not NATO directing Ukraine to do it in order to prepare for a NATO First Strike??
    2
  5324. Then Ukraine don't need our money and very expensive long range missiles. About time the "welfare queen of the world" starts standing on her own..."
    2
  5325. America is protecting a greater interest in Israel right now. Even the Empire doesn't have enough Star Destroyers to send one to every planet in the Galaxy.
    2
  5326. ...and when they don't change anything like all the "needs" prior??
    2
  5327. Russia should collect all the Polish mercs they've killed in the past 18 months and dump them on the Polish side of the border. "Here, you can have these back."
    2
  5328. No. No more money. Don't care how many comments YT deletes. The answer is still "NO".
    2
  5329. This whole "review" is two bougie a-holes talking down to the middle class like they are Hilton heirs or something. What MD, MBA, or JD do either of you clowns possess?
    2
  5330. LOL. That's funny....considering YT delete's 90% of comments that are pro Russia....."
    2
  5331. I suggested EXACTLY this a couple of weeks ago when Zelensky was here begging. YT deleted it. 😂😂😂
    2
  5332. Biden and Sunak should have thought of that before providing Ukraine sea drones and approving their plan to use a grain ship as the drone carrier. All suffering worldwide from this war is on Biden.
    2
  5333. Yesterday Ukraine fired all 32 Patriot missiles to defend Kyiv---all those lines in the sky are Patriots. $128M in ammo used up in one day, and the Kinzhal still hit the Directorate of Intelligence building.
    2
  5334. You're wrong. They lost 40 ships, 400 aircraft, 50,000 ammo dumps, 400,000,000 soldiers. 8B tanks, and so on.
    2
  5335. Notice how the Democrat neocon argument has shifted from "preserve democracy" two years ago to "it's not really money we are giving away"?? LMAO. The new narrative is: This money doesn't actually go to Ukraine, it goes to Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman, who makes and ships new weapons to our military, who then puts the new stuff in the space made the day before when they shipped their old, expired weapons to Ukraine". So, essentially "support for Ukraine" is now an opportunistic weapons upgrade program for the US Military and the MIC. The old stuff gets blown to bits (or added to the trophies in Patriot Park near Moscow) by Russia, along with the Ukrainians inside, while the US Army sheds junk for shiny new stuff. All on taxpayer dime. Oh, and remember just two weeks ago, the House passed our normal massive $886B defense budget for 2024. So, our Military gets the "Ukraine Aid bonus" AND the usual $800B- $900B they get every year. Y'all seeing the Big Picture now?? Hahaha! 😂😂😂
    2
  5336. Scott Ritter EIGHT MONTHS ago: "Ukraine cannot win this war. It's a fantasy..."
    2
  5337. Every Western Media outlet this week is running the "Look how many losses Russia has! They will run out of men. They will run out of tanks!" I'm not kidding; an analyst on a Western news program said "at this rate Russia will run out of tanks". There is no good news from Ukraine to report for the Summit, so they are going with "Russia is winning but at what cost?" narrative.
    2
  5338. This report is 18 hours old; in that time Russia has obliterated an entire Ukrainian brigade attacking towards Robotnye.
    2
  5339. I had a 12 year old Toyota Land Cruiser with 140K miles that---I'm not exaggerating---not a SINGLE thing was broken, torn, loose, or not working when I sold it. Not a trim piece, not a rubber seal, powered anything----NOTHING. Right now I drive a 2011 Jag XJ Supercharged and the driver sun visor and front sunroof shade broke---in 90K miles. That is all. From what I've seen, I would never, EVER, not if I lived a thousand years, buy any Tesla.
    2
  5340. LOL. Western Media all now suddenly admitting what every rational person following this war knew 18 months ago. Russia used "bend don't break" in 1943 and every military historian saw the same coming a year ago. Ukraine pushed in there and the exact same thing happened in 2023 as in 1943. None of us were surprised; only the CNN-watching sheep and NeoCon apologists.
    2
  5341. What should they buy instead?
    2
  5342. Wouldn't have mattered anyway. Russia would have Kinzhal'ed all their bases and whatever few were left, their Su-27 Top Guns would have swept from the skies.
    2
  5343. It wasn't going to be oil and it wasn't going to be nuc sites so it was going to be symbolic anyway. Biden told Bibi that if he crosses the line the US placed on their response, IDF is alone from there on.... Even Bibi knows that no America = Doom.
    2
  5344. I hope Iran is smart enough to see this is a trap
    2
  5345. Love these, but you have to keep in mind they have Ferrari level maintenance requirements. Still worth it but you can't treat it like any other old Ford V8.
    2
  5346. I flip houses and I don't even make all that much a year doing it, but I LOVE seeing nasty, foundation cracked, walls falling apart, paint faded, wood rotted houses become a flawless beauty in 30 days. That's why I watch these and detail videos; I just like to see ugly become beauty! Keep up the good work man!
    2
  5347. "The Ukrainian Military says..." That's all? If that is the only "evidence" then this story belongs on Disney+ with the other fantasies. When Russia says "we destroyed Patriot, or HIMARS, they provide 100% crystal clear, 4K surveillance drone footage clearly showing what, where, when..."
    2
  5348. The "better training and leadership" thing is complete OPINION. Four months in Germany or Poland on equipment you never seen before does NOT equal the training of their opponents. Wagner is the best urban warfare force on Earth period; the men they killed taking Bakhmut were the second best. The 300K Russian reservists have been training on familiar equipment since they were teenagers. Also Russia has 900 fighters to Ukraine's 70 old ones. MAYBE their equipment is better (the Leopards and Challengers Ukraine got are 20+ years old), but that's it.
    2
  5349. I'm 45 so I hate iPhone cars like Tesla and Mach E. Only the Audi or BMW for me and the Bimmer has a more naturalistic interior vs. the cold "starship bridge" look of the Audi. BMW.
    2
  5350. US/UK vs. Russia/Iran and the battlefield is Ukraine! Let's do it, baby! Biden don't care about WW3 as he isn't long for this world anyway...
    2
  5351. China doesn't have to be strong enough to beat the United States, only just strong enough to make it cost the US more to beat China than Taiwan is worth. Once China is that strong (they may be already), they win as the US won't even bother to fight them. US only fights people it thinks it can take easily and with few casualties; with everyone else it uses diplomacy.
    2
  5352. I truly believe NATO is afraid of North Korea's involvement; that is the only explanation for their overreaction. Upwards of 30,000 foreigners have fought in Ukraine's Foreign Legion over the past 3 years so how can NATO stand there and pretend Russia getting help from its ally is anything different? NATO is afraid because these NK guys are special forces ; fully trained on vehicles, weapons, and tactics. They have no experience, but against the former prisoners and conscripts dragged out of bars Ukraine is using , these North Koreans will likely carve them up like a Thanksgiving Turkey.
    2
  5353. He's old. Dont laugh; most of you will be dead long before you're his age. Those that make it that far will fall just like him.
    2
  5354. Remember last July, when Ukraine took that massive "city" of Robotyne (pop. 500) and all the Western Media blared: "Ukraine takes Robotyne, Tokmak in ten days!!" 😂😂😂
    2
  5355. I respect their grit, but the Ukrainian Army has entered the realm of futility now. In two months they've "taken" nothing but empty farms for 40K casualties. The Russians have more operational Leopard 2s and AMX10s than they do. For three months they've tried to take back Bakhmut and not a single Ukrainian is within eyesight range of the city. Today, mandatory evacuation of all citizens in Kupiansk because 100,000 Russians collapsed the northern flank of its defenses, using aviation now as Ukraine's AA capability weakens by the day. This is a fight they cannot win.

  5356. at this point such "glory" will be similar to that which Sparta enjoys.
    2
  5357. This summary was like "left, left, body blow, right, left, body-blow, body-blow, uppercut!" There is NOTHING in Western Media AT ALL today about Ukraine's current state....in fact the whole week has been mostly silence. I think it is clear they simply have nothing good to say, so they say nothing..."
    2
  5358. What happened to the 60,000 strong NATO-trained army?? The "47th Mechanized and 101st Air Assault" brigades in glossy articles in NYTimes, Wall Street Journal, and Washington Post? The "frighteningly powerful" counter offensive that was going to send the Russians fleeing away in terror?? What happened to all of that? It was just 7 months ago that's all we heard and now Zelensky is back here asking for more billions as if all of that was a dream??
    2
  5359. Putin looks younger than Zelensky. Love him or hate him you have to respect a man who has out maneuvered far wealthier countries for over 20 years in a row. A true Boss...."

  5360. Especially since they didn't pay for it......

  5361. Number one reason for this war right there: Remnant Western feelings of "superiority" over the Slavic peoples. At Tannenberg, Ludendorff and Hindenburg were "shocked" that Russian artillery killed almost as many Germans as they had killed Russians. Only the fact the Germans knew Russia's plans allowed them to encircle their enemy and win. Before Barbarossa, Hitler said "we need only kick in the door and the whole rotten edifice will come down". US/UK/Germany are Anglo-Saxon led nations; they consider Slavs to be inferior and Putin, fully aware, uses this to his advantage. Any who studied the Cold War knows Russia has long excelled at Electronic Warfare---the cat and mouse games under the sea between the US and Russian navies are the stuff of legend. It is precisely this hubris why the CEO is "shocked", this hubris why Biden ignored the chance for peace, believing a few US "wunderwaffe" could put the Russians in their place, this hubris why even now he rushes to send the weapons of a war criminal to stave off defeat and humiliation. The West is learning a lesson Russia has been teaching its enemies for centuries....

  5363. If you were a Russian living through the first decade after the Wall fell in 1989, to you Putin is the second coming of Peter the Great. In the 1990s Russia was almost completely overrun by lawlessness; there was almost no National Pride. Putin has restored ALL of that and 10x more. Look at those Siberian troops proudly displaying their regional and national battle flags as they drove into Avdiivka victorious. A leader that restores pride to his people after it was lost is unstoppable.

  5364. CIA helped Ukraine blow it up, just like Nordstream.

  5365.  @thegreatdane3627  NATO has no shells. Ukraine is firing smoke shells at Storm-Z because NATO has no shells. Like I said: DEMILITARIZED.

  5368. The LC500 is gorgeous and will last 25 years, but it is so soft that you only see really old people driving them. When Toyota cancelled the LC-F all the money I was saving for it-----well-----its still in my garage. I planned to trade out the Jag XK-R for the LC-F but there's nothing to jump up to for $100K or so. A C8? Nahh, I had a C7 with a manual and I'd take that again over a C8. Charger/Stang/Camaro? Nahh, too much "commoner" plastic inside; the Jag with Connolly leather and real aluminum inside has spoiled me. $100K to the Germans only gets you a V6 and most of their stuff is ugly. Don't even mention SUV's....I don't do SUV's for pleasure. So the XK-R still here looking all hot and sexy in my garage...

  5369. Western cowards; can't win facing Storm-Z at the front so they gun down people at a concert.

  5370. Just watched the Pentagon briefing; so what is this "new electronics warfare package" a reporter asked about?? There are 2000+ comments below where everyone saying this plane was "old junk , old airframe, old electronics, nothing fancy" etc., etc. CLEARY 2000+ know-nothings!! So, this plane had some hot new isht on-board and the Russians still smoked it??" Come on, CNN; tell me some more lies!!"
    2
  5371. Yep. He had no idea that was a cop in there; the glare from the lights and no markings; he 100% thought that was his ride outta there.
    2
  5372. With what? No more cheating by using civilian grain ship to launch British sea drones. What else ya got?
    2
  5373. and won the fucking war. 🤣
    2
  5374. "educational institution and hospital" = Military Academy and Hospital. We know hospitals are OK because when Israel stormed one a few months ago in Gaza, Biden said "good job!" All is fair in love and war...."
    2
  5375. North Korean KN-25 heavy MLRS confirmed heading to Russia. The largest tactical rocket system by diameter in the world. 600mm shovels incoming 😂

  5376. I feel sorry for the Ukrainian population whom I have no ill will towards. Ever see that movie "The Empire Strikes Back"???

  5377. 110 years ago, BEVs were 30% of US market too; that's about as high as they ever got.

  5380. Your home is blown up and the first thing you think of is "send us weapons"?? Total propaganda. Go away CNN; even Democrats aren't buying it anymore.
    2
  5381. The next person to whine and cry about "bots" because they hear an opinion different from their own, is going to get his isht pushed in.
    2
  5382. Ask him who blew up Nordstream 2, the dam, and who gave Ukraine the sea drones to bomb the bridge?
    2
  5383. I am 100% certain Zelensky plans to share the fate of his country. When he chose not to negotiate in 2022 he tied his future to that of Ukaine as he dreams of it to be.
    2
  5384. To be fair, Russia wouldn't be doing any of this if we didn't go fuccing around in their neighborhood.
    2
  5385. Now that we have gotten details all day about this attack, NO way this was "retaliation" for the ship attack. it is impossible to arrange almost 200 missiles and drones by ships/subs/planes/ground in two days. Just the target selection and missile programming alone would have take two weeks at least; they planned this for a while. This is something else entirely.
    2
  5386. Six more countries joined BRICS today, including Saudi Arabia. Overnight the bloc has more than doubled, with heavyweights Argentina and Egypt, plus now the Saudi juggernaut. Not a single article anywhere in Western news media, nothing on BBC / CNN / SKY.

  5387. Once you grow comfortable with lying, you do it without thinking

  5388. As heavy (and ugly) as the new M3 is; you may as well just buy this. It has the V8 (which at this point, is really the only ICE you should buy), it has the classic BMW looks, and it'll carry you and 4 of your friends. The only reason to buy the M3 is the manual trans option, which almost completely makes up for its ugly face; if you are about to sign the lease for an auto M3----tell the salesperson to bring you this instead. Your welcome.

  5389. She hasn't been to the border in three years; only went there now because she's losing on that issue. She doesn't give one isht about legal citizens....

  5390. If it is a lease for 3 years, just get the Kia. It is flashier and the "in" thing among a certain crowd. If however, you don't care about glitz and you want the vehicle to still be capable of useful work in 2035 there is only one choice---the Chevy. Just look around you; there are 2008-era Traverse\Enclave\Acadia vehicles running everywhere with 150K+ miles on them. The GM 3.6 is virtually indestructible. When was the last time you saw a 2008 Kia still worth anything??
    2
  5391. If that isn't a war crime, then the phrase is meaningless. Even the Russians don't bomb churches....
    2
  5392. The French threatening Russia. That is hilarious. Napoleon Macron Bonaparte will be sent back home from Russia with 10% of the army he started with, just like the short guy he dreamt he was last night...
    2
  5393. 13 Russian warships in the Black Sea today; you know what that means: Its Kinzhal and Kalibr Monday! Putin didn't like having to put out that gas fire; and Putin always pays his debts. 😂😂😂
    2
  5394. Biden is going to give away our newest missile, the JASSM-ER. At $4M each Zelensky will only need maybe 10,000 of them to reduce all of Russai to ruins...." Thats the goal right?
    2
  5395. Enough for what? To win? Ahahahahha....omg...... please...... stop. Hahahahah!!"
    2
  5396. Russian people don't want Western liberalism. It is just that simple. If Putin had no popular support, he wouldn't exist. Russia has over 100+ ethnic groups and they've all lived together for 1000 years or more. They are good . They don't want US-style "change" , or LGBTQ , or "feminism", or immigration from countries that have zero history with their existing ethnic groups. Why can't we just leave them alone?
    2
  5397. So, how many levels of "retaliatory" the West Media going to use before they just drop the word altogether?
    2
  5398. Thank Shoigu. He was the master of logistics.
    2
  5399. What's he gonna do about it. Pay their way back home?
    2
  5400. Something isn't right. In just the past two months Ukraine has suffered at the lowest end 30,000 casualties. Even if you cut that in half, that is a monstrous number....as the annual rate is over 85,000. That is more men than Ukraine currently has deployed.
    2
  5401. ....what is after the F-16 once it too fails like every other NATO weapon? Right before the Leopard 2s were sent they were already begging F-16. So, I'm sure they are already begging something else now; a Ford class super carrier?"
    2
  5402. Why is the US so obsessed with Ukraine that it is constantly scrambling to whatever end to try and stave off their defeat??
    2
  5403. Makes me happy. NATO is a tyrannical force that must be defeated.
    2
  5404. Man, seeing that little boy's face makes me seethe with rage for the monstrous crime committed against his mother and himself! You only get one "mommy" in this life; to see her shattered right before your eyes is a curse I would not inflict on even a serial killer. For a woman to inflict such pain upon the child of another is unfathomable. There is no punishment humans are capable of too great for these two cretins. Exterminate them.
    2
  5405. Strategically, the war is over. Tactically they are still shooting at each other, but from a political standpoint its done. The political goal of removing Russia by force from 45,000 square miles of territory failed; Ukraine got less than 1% of the territory back in six months for loss of $200B. Zaluzhny confirmed such a goal is not achievable and would require massively more money and even then there is no guarantee. Russia has no interest in occupying the rest of Ukraine; the areas they annexed hold the Russia populations they were concerned with; at this point Russia is simply in a "protect what we already have" mode. NATO failed to get what it wanted as the sponsor, and Ukraine failed to get what it wanted as the proxy. Next year there will be elections and Zelensky may not win; Ukraine may choose a different future than the one he envisioned.
    2
  5406. Biden did the honorable thing (after some prodding to overcome his ego). Credit to him for that; there is no shame in aging. Also credit to him for going right to endorsing Harris with zero prevarication. She is the VP; any hesitation regarding her sliding in now is a slap to her face politically speaking (and would have serious consequences for Biden and the party). Nobody knows her; she has four months to stand or fall on her own efforts.
    2
  5407. Leaf???
    2
  5408. I'm still in shock that Swedes were there..... Sweden!! Since the Napoleonic Wars, Sweden has not initiated any direct armed conflict with anyone, yet Vicky Nuland and Joe Biden somehow now got them joining their meddling and now, they too, feeling the sting of war..... The US Democratic Party must be kept out of the White House for the next 50 years for the safety of the world ....
    2
  5409. Hegseth has energy I give him that... he's moved more in four weeks than Austin did in four YEARS. However, you can tell he's learning on the job when it comes to public statements; and I don't think that is unexpected or necessarily "bad". He is a soldier, not a politician and we are so used to a SecDef who is more politician than soldier. Different =/= bad...
    2
  5410. LOL. I saw that and was like that's a "10km by 10km patch of farmland"...
    2
  5411. If true, and its that high up (Colonel) and multiple of them, then its more like a "coup" as the feelings are deep and widespread. Where is Zaluzhzhny?? No one has seen or heard from him for a few weeks now? Is he in the UK?
    2
  5412. Those of us with a little knowledge of history, and outside the BBC/CNN echo chamber told you all this would happen 26 months ago. Yes, the initial SMO force of 50K was only to take out the Zelensky government, that's all. Maybe because it began that way; you thought it could be won. However who could think that Putin would just hang his head and give all the land back if that initial force were defeated? You are talking about a country that 80 years ago, endured KIA (not casualties) in an amount reaching 25% of the population of the United States at the time, and did NOT give up. In modern terms that is 80 MILLION dead, NO surrender. When you really think about it, sounds insane to start a war with Russia, right? So why did Biden do it?
    2
  5413. Pray for Russia to destroy her enemies in this war that could easily have been avoided but for Biden.
    2
  5414. Listen to Jeffrey Sachs. You do not have to follow Biden's leadership in this; we are free to choose another way.
    2
  5415. So Russia has turned NATO's Wunderwaffe into scrap metal? Deutsch panzer sind besser, eh?
    2
  5416. Yeah, this ship wouldn't stop when hailed. So the Russians had to stop it. Didn't find any weapons so they let it go. Next time stop mofo....
    2
  5417. Ukraine has never shown themselves to be smart in this war. Brave and tenacious, yes...but smart? No.
    2
  5418. Russia never fights NATO directly; they'd lose such a fight. For every ATACMS that lands in Russia, a German internet cable will experience "failure", a Greek pipeline will develop a "leak", a Polish fuel storage tank will "ignite" , a Brit wind farm in the North Sea will lose fan blades to a "fault" , a French....well....you get the picture... 🤣
    2
  5419. People believe in UFO/Aliens because they want to. If you just put five minutes of objective thought into it, you'll realize it is virtually impossible for us to see alien ships in our skies. Especially if they contain living beings. They probably exist, but they don't know about us and we don't know about them. Even if they did, they couldn't reach us nor can we reach them. Facts.
    2
  5420. Holy cow! That must've been some argument!
    2
  5421. Lol "leadership shuffle" ..... Understatement of the year. There has been HUGE tension between them for almost a year. The Pres. decison to try to hold Bakhmut, the Gen. decision to split the NATO trained army, lots of finger pointing that is now political. This was the last extension of martial law forr 90 days. There will be an election and if the General is a civilian he can run and he is more popular than Zelensky. Zelensky wants people around him who tell him what he wants to hear
    2
  5422. Nalvany was anti-Putin, but primarily over corruption (stealing). He was a Russian Nationalist, but the West thinks he would have just handed Russia over to the US/UK. He was against the war in Ukraine not because he wanted to give it to NATO, but because he believed Ukraine (and Belarus) are brothers with Russia and should NEVER be fighting.
    2
  5423.  @Swish-x7b  They have no "wokeism" ; that counts for a lot....
    2
  5424. The VW, Kia, and Volvo did not surprise me; those have a long history of being good on day 1, but by year 4 or 5 you are in trouble. The Explorer also did not surprise me; when it first came out it got savaged in the media. The XT4 did surprise me but GM and transverse mounted transmissions have been dodgy for over a decade. The big surprise was the Suburban/Tahoe. GM must have messed up these new ones because 2002 - 2018 Tahoes and Suburbans you see running with 200K miles all over the place.
    2
  5425. In 1943, the Germans had two million soldiers poised to take Kursk, along with them were the 800,000-strong Italian 8th Army, and 225,000-strong Hungarian 1st Army. In total, THREE MILLION men intent on taking Kursk. When the smoke cleared, the Italians and Hungarians were decimated so severely, only 10 percent of the men they sent to Russia returned to their homelands. The Germans were mauled badly, but the bulk of their force survived to make a retreat that didn't stop until the Battle of Berlin. People never listen to historians until its too late. They say "it will be different this time", and it almost never is...."
    2
  5426. LOL. "NATO" celebrates.....yeah because the American Reaper drone in the area did all the target acquisition. NATO are the ones that did it. Putin will get his from NATO down the line; he ALWAYS pays his debts.
    2
  5427. US been saying that for a year. F-16 is 46 year old design, S-300 will shoot it down with ease. Russia will Kinzhal any bases on which it is stationed. It would be just a bit better than a Mig-29 but that's all.
    2
  5428. Like all of us, I have zero insight into Russia's logistics. However, I just imagine that after 18 months of war they would not be very dependent on the Most Obvious Target in The War.
    2
  5429. EU is well aware of this; that is why they are going so crazy to get that 30-day ceasefire.
    2
  5430. The owner "drove it unitl it stopped" with no coolant. WTF you expect to happen? Even a Toyota 3.5l V6 will quickly die with no coolant in it....
    2
  5431. What happened to the big "pro-Ukraine Russian" offensive meant to show Russia that Putin was a bad leader???
    2
  5432. Imagine you are an energetic, but bored 21 year old young man from poor town, not much to look forward to but a life scratching out a living in dirt. You have a chance to go to Russia and be trained by Wagner or Akhmat Special Forces or VDV or even Spetznaz?? While getting paid 10x what you could make at home in a year? For an army that outguns its opponents 10 to one? Sure, you may be killed, but you may not be. When the war is over now you have Russian citizenship, mad skills in all kinds of weaponry both Russian and NATO; you can come home and become elite Security for big $$ or travel the world as Wagner and train other countries' soldiers or be part of their Presidential Security detail for $$$$$$. Or, just stay in your dirty village and never go anywhere or see anything. I know what I'd choose.
    2
  5433. I test drove a base Audi E-Tron GT a few months back and after zipping around a bit, the sales lady was gushing "see how the instant torque of an EV feels?" The whole time I was thinking "this feels just like my 2011 Jag XJ Supercharged----I squeeze blood into my big toe and it just takes off like a rocket". The people that gushed about EV "instant torque" a few years ago never had a supercharged V8----most of them were coming from a Prius or Leaf or 3-Series or something.
    2
  5434. I've never seen anything like this in American news the past 24 hours. There is still NO major US news online page with a story on either the Zaluzhnyi firing or the Putin interview. The American mainstream is just pretending that neither happened.
    2
  5435. Only reason he's "presenting it to Biden" is to ask Biden to pay for it (with our tax money). I really wish I could refuse to pay taxes for 2022, 2023, and 2024; however long Biden is giving my money away to Ukraine. I never voted for that and I don't agree with it..."
    2
  5436. Him saying "its not too late" means the exact opposite. AFU can only send men to slow the RU steamroller, and of course this means all the towns 10 km back from the line become "concentration points" as soldiers don't drive cars to the line on their own like they are going to the office. When they gather at a "bus" or "train" station, they become a target because that close to the front the UAVs are constant. Watching three Iskanders hit the same building one right after another at Mach 6 literally looks like shots from a Star Destroyer in orbit."
    2
  5437. Honestly the best thing for all at this point is no more Ukraine at all. Maybe Romania and Poland can split the remaining territory for administration, and that territory becomes demilitarized, like a DMZ. There is now "buffer space" between NATO and Russia where neither side can put missiles. That way NATO doesn't get it, and neither does Russia. Everyone can live with that.
    2
  5438. Non Western news sites say the Ukrainians were smashed in this attack
    2
  5439. How is that different from buying a 2012 today?

  5440. Cut the figures in half and they are still catastrophic

  5442.  @PippetWhippet  TY. marsdriver2501 don't really notice shit; been like that since birth 🤣🤣
    2
  5443. Zelensky restated the Ukraine MoD online rumor that the Israeli plane was full of people coming to colonize Dagestan. CIA approved the PsyOp of course; it worked pretty well I'd say.
    2
  5444. This reminds me of the Tamir Rice shooting. 12 yr old boy with a toy gun (yes, he was pointing it at people which is why cops were called), but when the cops arrived they came upon him so suddenly and started firing he had no chance to "drop the gun". We citizens are in an impossible situation: The criminals are out of control, and the cops are out of control.
    2
  5445. You know that will eliminate about 89% of DEM candidates, right?
    2
  5446. The absolute lies the MSM like CNN/BBC/SKY/ABC are pushing are getting very close to "misinformation" territory. This isn't 2022; everyone knows the 2023 offensive failed miserably, everyone knows 2024 has been nothing but defeat for AFU, by now everyone knows the Kursk incursion failed to save the Donbas. Many respected neutral voices like Col. Davis, Col. MacGregor, and others are of the opinion that the MSM pushing this "Ukraine can win" narrative is not just propaganda anymore; they are dangerous lies."
    2
  5447. "Strengthened" not "advancing" because they haven't advanced much in four days. Oh and Niu York fell to the Russians today in Donbass...."
    2
  5448. Russia announced that starting Sept. 1 they are cracking down on all video sent by RU soldiers from the front. Many soldier post to Telegram video from their phones or the equipment they operate and this is how so much information (and misinformation) shows up online. Of course humans being humans some will try to get around it but look for vids to get very scarce next month. Ukraine did exactly the same for the same reason in June just before their offensive .That Russia is suddenly doing it on Sept. 1st can mean only one thing...
    2
  5449. It isn't because younger more dynamic people aren't stepping up to the plate (at least in the US). Look at the DEM and GOP field of candidates in 2016 and 2020; lots of people in their 40s and 50s. We didn't want them. As is often the case, our problems are really because of us.

  5450. I had to enable cc to watch the part where you drive it. That rising and falling "wooooo" sound gave me a headache. I think the Taycan is awesome but disabling that sound would be the first thing I'd do!

  5451. I thought this was going to be the Ukrainian Su-27 pilot that defected to Russia two days ago. This is boring...

  5455. Russians salivating at getting that bonus, while the Patriots Park near Moscow making room for a new trophy 😂😂😂
    2
  5456. Define "win". There are currently 6,456 definitions according to NATO.
    2
  5457. France and Britain raped them for centuries, and US built itself on the backs of their ancestors, no wonder they don't trust the West. However, Africa must not fool itself, they need help from someone to reach their potential. China is less likely to get violent, but will take the bulk of the resource wealth in any deal. Russia may not take as much financially as China, but Russia is more militarily belligerent and likes to fight if pushed. African countries much choose carefully and tread lightly. Egypt is big enough to throw its weight around, but Nigeria, Kenya, SA decades away from having that "big stick" power.
    2
  5458. ...and Russia is going to take it. Ukraine takes massive losses to lose, Russia takes massive losses to win.
    2
  5459. WE see it. THEY don't (for some strange reason).

  5463. Should we tell him now that only Congress, not him, can authorize war? Or, just wait till after the election?
    2
  5464. You do have to wonder where this UK garbage is coming from. When has Russia ever openly menaced Britain??? I think NATO is just preparing its people to accept their entry into Ukraine to "preserve" Ukraine so Russia doesn't take all of it
    2
  5465. Hitting the north-east is a message to NATO, not just Ukraine: "There is no safe place here. Store a weapon we destroy it. Build a factory we destroy it. Bunk your troops we kill them. Russia sees everything, knows everything, punishes everything."
    2
  5466. Do they realize they won't be able to do that ever again once they join the EU?
    2
  5467. Non-whites have had enough of these effin WASP's talking down to them. All over the planet, formerly servile nations are reminding everyone it 'aint 1963 anymore. What did Lavrov call them last week? "Anglo-Saxons"? Yeah, YOU come to us, the days of us coming to you are over forever...
    2
  5468. Biden or Blinken made some comments earlier? Where?

  5469. 100 years ago Germany was a superpower.....now look at them. Weak and cowardly
    2
  5470. Says who? Denys??? 😂😂😂
    2
  5471. Russia is sending waves of Kalibr, Kinzhal, and Kh-101s into Ukraine, just pummeling them day and night. Ukraine intelligence said that Kh-101 parts they recovered show the missile was manufactured in 2023. Sky/BBC/CNN said a year ago Russia was running out of missiles.

  5473. I watched the video from Putin's last visit to NK; he looks so young....he was about Macron's age. Just think about that.... twenty four years ago Putin was in charge, and today he is STILL in charge. Countless NATO leaders have come and gone in 24 years and Putin has out-maneuvered, out-thought, out-flanked, and out-lasted them all.

  5474. As a kid watching this on tape in the late 80s, I was determined to figure out where that second TIE went. One day I finally noticed the energy discharge fried it 😊

  5475. Kids have been hitting the books hard for two straight months; they NEED to blow off some steam and relax. If you are over 25 you have no business even being there.
    2
  5476.  @honeybadger9425  that's bullisht. The Swedish trainers demilitarized in the big Poltava strike in September didn't go for "individual's choice". Reported you for fake news...
    2
  5477. This is the worst offensive in modern history, worse even than Gallipoli, because even if it succeeded in its tactical goals, it would have been a strategic failure. So let's say the offensive succeeded and by then end of July AFU was in Melitopol at the cost of all AFU has lost to this point. That city is twice the size of Bakhmut and just assume Russia would have fought as fiercely for it, but AFU defeated them. Ukraine would have a large swathe of land and virtually no NATO-trained army left; but Russia would have 110,000 near Bakhmut untouched and 80,000 near Kherson untouched. The negotiations in Lithuania would have been short because Putin would have just said: "You won the battle, but you have no army left, while I have 200K that I can just move half of them over and swamp what you have left in Zaporizhzhia. You can't threaten me in those other areas because your offensive force was here; all you have left is territorial defense units and they are 57 year old men who are only capable of storming a buffet line." Unless NATO was going to come in to back up the Ukraine force lost while achieving "victory", there would be no victory. An offensive that results in your loss even if you win it is the stupidest offensive in history.
    2
  5478. It is time to negotiate. Long past time actually, but the offensive has been defeated. With no air cover Abrams will be blown up just like Leopards. A few F-16s are still months away and won't change the outcome of this offensive. Then its winter, Russians still sitting right where they are today, and rested with more tanks and more ammo. Armistice. Now.

  5479. A few weeks ago the son of my wife's close friend told his family he is being deployed to "Europe". He is in the infantry, wife and two kids---one just born a few months ago. Great young man. I told my wife "he can't say, but I'm 99% certain he is going to Poland" (my wife never watches the news and has zero interest in geopolitics), and explained to her what is going in this war. She got a look of dread on her face, and I reassured here it was likely just political. Shore up Poland, make a show if it for Putin, etc. and the likelihood of him going to war with Russia was near zero. I am no longer sure of that: Ukraine has been simply hurling itself against the Fortress Zaporizhzhia wall with little apparent concern for losses since Zelensky visited the front a week ago. Zaluzhny called Robotyne "Kursk 2023" a few days ago, and AFU asked Zelensky to approve 200,000 more mobilization a week ago. Ukraine is fully aware it is going to lose A LOT of troops and is obviously prepared to do so. Such a gambit only makes sense if Zelensky knew his risk was mitigated somehow; he would not throw his entire NATO force into the grinder and just hope for victory without some insurance against disastrous loss. I now believe that "insurance" is Biden has assured him NATO will enter Ukraine if necessary to prevent a complete and total disastrous defeat and Russian occupation of the majority of what remains of the country.

  5480. Why do they even need this when they can already put an Avangard into the Oval Office anytime they want?
    2
  5481. This is shaping up to be the greatest military disaster since Gallipoli. The Biden Administration bungling of the Afghanistan exit was a warning to us all that we failed to heed: Dont let Biden or his gaggle of Far Left "world changers" like Blinken, Nuland, and Austin anywhere near the levers of power!
    2
  5482. I guessed Mariupol and I wasn't far off. I didn't see the dam busting coming but it makes perfect sense from Ukraine's point of view. Two weeks ago the WSJ had a retired general lay out 4 attack options he thought for Ukraine, it appears this is his option #2 Zaporizhzhia. The Russian defensive lines in that area are very strong; Novoprokopivka lay right in the center of 4 lines; 2 in front and 2 bigger behind it. This will not be any kind of maneuver war until Ukraine breaks through at least 5 or 6 lines; this will be the Germans and Belgians at Liege. Rock vs. hard place and one will eventually break.
    2
  5483. Oh? It matters now? After six months of CNN and Washington Post telling us it was "meaningless"? Whatever. Nothing in Western Media about this war can be trusted; that much is now clear.
    2
  5484. He flat out admits there is no point to this other than to cause a ruckus. His last words are "....AFU must keep their rear open so they can withdraw at some point in good order..." So the whole thing is a meaningless PR show.
    2
  5485. LOL. Five comments blocked by YT already; strong feelings on this I imagine. I'm happy today because we are not going to war with Russia. Biden is not going to test Putin further to see where his "line" is; I have two sons under 21 and I refuse to sacrifice them for Zelensky. As to whether Harris or Trump; my hope is Trump to end the war, but if Harris wins and the DEMs just keep doing for the next 4 years what they've done the past 3, I'll be sad for all the lives lost but since none are Americans I can live with it.

  5486. Looks just like the Crimea hospital last week after Joe's cluster warheads hit the beach...
    2
  5487. Its OK, but if you really want a Stelvio, just buy a Stelvio instead of this copy!!
    2
  5488. Who is surprised??? Did you see the highway leading out of Kharkiv this week? BOTH sides full with all cars going the same way---East---fleeing the Russian Steamroller. Zelensky is responsible for that; you think everyone would be happy about that?
    2
  5489. I was just thinking last night that Ukraine has no depth in their combat power. They had to have blown that dam, because right now if 25K Russians pushed through Kherson there would be nothing to stop them. I also dont think they could stop 25K from Belgorod either.
    2
  5490. It won't change much but Mirage 2000-5 is a good bird; better than an old Belgian or Dutch F-16 that was headed to the scrapyard.
    2
  5491. at least this was a military target not a family coming home from the beach.

  5492. NATO was immoral from the start; that is why they fail...."

  5493. He couldve flattened Kyiv last year...hes been holding back

  5494. Anyone here willing to go on record as still believing the US didn't blow up Nord Stream?? Anyone?
    2
  5495. Yup! 100% In 2035 we will have to fight them on some field of battle.
    2
  5496. US raised rates just 18 months ago to fight serious inflation due to high salaries and only just very recently has the inflation rate begun to stabilize and prices on cars and houses starting to fall.
    2
  5497. AFU just asked Zelensky for 200K more last week. Ukraine basically had decided that either they will win and survive, or there will be no Ukrainians in the land that is now called Ukraine. "Victory or Death" strategy.
    2
  5498. Tuesday Morning for a decade instead of BBB. It's towels and bath mats and sheets? Why pay top dollar for stuff like that?

  5499. After watching Trump in 2017-2019, for the first time in my life I knew I could do a better job being President than the person in that office. After watching that train wreck of a "debate" last night, I'm now 10 times as sure I could. I'm only 54, have a Law Degree, no felonies ever in my life, normal kids with good grades, etc. I'm younger than both of these clowns by a mile, and smarter than them put together. I should run....
    2
  5500. Ahhh, and now we hear from the Nosferatu himself, Anthony Blinken; an agent of Death Incarnate. He certainly would know all about the "dead"....
    2
  5501. True, Harris is just more Biden and who the HECK WANTS THAT????
    2
  5502. In two weeks Lyptsi will be Russian.
    2
  5503. Ukraine using their offensive power to attack the things that are totally uninvolved with their losses at the front. These are PR attacks that do nothing about them losing
    2
  5504. Yeah, this ship wouldn't stop when hailed. So the Russians had to stop it. Didn't find any weapons so they let it go. Next time stop mofo....
    2
  5505. "ATACMS" vs. "Tornado-S" .... even the Russian names are cooler...🤣
    2
  5506. Deadly incels; the scourge of modern times.
    2
  5507. It is too late to even offer Russia a truce that preserves Ukraine. Putin knows he has the upper hand so why would he negotiate?
    2
  5508.  @davediamond7228  I'm sorry you were unaware of the true reason for this war for so long. THIS is the ONLY reason; everything else Putin said was to confuse you.
    2
  5509. ...and NATO membership will allow the US to put "Aegis Ashore" missiles now in Poland, 400 miles closer to Moscow when US puts them in Ukraine. The true trigger for the war. At least let the record show it was NATO overreach that wiped out humanity.....
    2
  5510. Aid to Ukraine is just a DEM foreign policy goal; not a legal obligation of the Unites States. However, protecting its citizens is the one function a nation cannot "opt out" of. Between the two it is an easy decision to prioritize one above the other.
    2
  5511.  @jlighter1  life has taught me its better to deal with the actual threat before the potential one. But you do you...
    2
  5512. Seems that word is starting to trickle out about this meeting with Xi. The possibility that China, not NATO could give Ukraine the security guarantees it needs. This really is an amazing opportunity if true to anyone paying attention. With NATO off the table for Ukraine, 100% of Russian anger is extinguished and much of the reasoning from Russia's perspective for the war goes away.
    2
  5513. won't make any difference; just add to the target practice video game S-300 operators are having shooting down HIMARS and Storm Shadows.
    2
  5514. Sure "get with"; but HELL NAW to "dating" or marriage!! 2am booty call is all I'd ever offer to a current or ex porno gal. There have always been women like this throughout all of human history across all cultures. Fun to play with, but don't bring home to mama.
    2
  5515. That is the whole point of "climate change alarmism" right? To seat China on top of the Global Order. What? You though it was about avoiding human extinction??
    2
  5516. Wow. I'm shocked. Like. Totally.
    2
  5517. So the Brits finally admit they are just big talking bitches standing behind the US? We already knew.. 😂
    2
  5518. They turned over their tanks, APCs, artillery and 20,000 AKs to the Army, so right now they have no means of doing anything.
    2
  5519. Money is money and this BS will soon be over and its back to business as usual. Smart man; I'm sure the shareholders love him
    2
  5520. Only 2 pilots; a Tu-22 is not a passenger plane. How you gonna "hijack" it? One pilot is an AFU sympathizer?? Try to steal it right out of the airbase like in the movie "Firefox"???
    2
  5521. Yeah, when German tanks are at this very moment killing Russians (some of them even painted with a Balkenkreuz), you damn right Russia is a "threat" as they are pretty pissed off. Wouldn't you be?
    2
  5522. Ukraine has money to actually pay for some fighter planes??? That means they don't need our tax money anymore!
    2
  5523. @chrisviking7807 LOL. 500K Russian troop new mobilization too. 🙂 Sorry.
    2
  5524. Telegram channels have first confirmed video of Ukrainian female stormtroopers. FPV drone was bombing a trench then noticed some of those not moving had long blonde hair.... Zelensky did it. He put their women on the front lines.
    2
  5525. A couple days ago, Ukraine fired FIFTEEN SCALP missiles at Crimea. Russia shot down 13 of them, one fell into the sea, and one hit a Russian warship. That is $30 million worth of Western taxpayer money, to damage ONE ship. A ship not even in service, in an attack that affects Russia's ability to take or hold territory not one iota. Its on the front page of Ukraine Pravda, but it isn't their money....its OURS. Of course Russia just increased the weapon loadout for last night's bombardment in response. This is a perfect example of why the West is done and told Zelensky to negotiate. Money wasted for no real gain other than some smoke and fire and PR and little else.
    2
  5526. Sounds exactly like a Hillary voter from 2016 (and a Trump voter from 2020).... I heard rumours the CIA is involved, the fact the losers are using American terminology just confirms it...

  5530. That kind of rage is personal. We will find out in a few days the victim and the killer had a long "relationship" that went sour in a bad way recently.

  5531. NATO about to learn the Bear has surprises of his own..."
    2
  5532. Wars always reach the peak of their nastiness right before they end; in 1939 Hitler was content to just deport Jews, by 1945 he was cooking them like they were rump roasts. We are entering the "unrestricted monstrosity" phase of this war...
    2
  5533. Wait, the US would do exactly the same to any Russian merc who fought US forces and was traveling through a friendly country. I shed ZERO tears for a merc terrorist whose richly earned comeuppance has arrived.
    2
  5534. A few thousand of Ukraine's best troops sent to their guaranteed destruction or capture? Why?? What does it get Zelensky other than a few days in Western news?"
    2
  5535. So, which country will host Zelensky and his exile government next year? US or UK? Don't seat their new Capital-in-Exile in Chicago....the background noise will make them think they never left Kyiv.
    2
  5536. Cameron says this and then this morning the UK issues an advisory for any of its citizens in Ukraine to leave immediately
    2
  5537.  @sandrafer7393  Cool. Thx.

  5538. I have a 2012 Buick Enclave with the 3.6l V6. 185K miles and it idles so quietly you can't even tell its running. When that oil life gets to 0%, I just change it out within a week or two then reset it. I don't even use luxury oil either; Wal-Mart Supertech and she purrs like a kitty....
    2
  5539. This is like asking the colonel on what could happen if aliens invade the Earth.
    2
  5540. They'll be home soon. Ukraine only has a few months left, possibly just a few weeks.

  5541.  @Gusr404  one day we'll be right tho. 🙂

  5542. US started the war in 2014; Zelensky just a puppet to that end...
    2
  5543. We'll see if Hyundai has changed by about 2024. By then we'll know if all these new Palisades and Tellurides and Genesi will have the same firebomb or self-detaching connecting rod type engines as all past Hyundai cars. Until then, pretty but my money stays with the Germans. It takes more than 1 or 2 years to prove you've changed.
    2
  5544. NATO just needs to get their ducks in a row and go in there; everyone knows that's what they want to do. They just don't know how to do it without being embarrassed or starting WW3. All their public infighting just shows they are weak. If they go in as just France or Poland, the Bear will just consider that more salmon to eat. If they ALL go in as ONE (and remain in the far West), the Bear will stop and everyone will talk.
    2
  5545. Why West media always uses term ,"threatens"??? Putin just says they'll destroy the planes, just like every other NATO equipment sent to Ukraine. Not a threat, a promise
    2
  5546. A people should know when they have been defeated...
    2
  5547. or to Syria where the US just bombed 112 people?
    2
  5548. Why was an American spy drone in the Black Sea area? We are over there stirring up isht and now we got caught. Biden, Austin, and Milley about to get us into this thing one way or the other.
    2
  5549. If Mike falls for this, that means he was in on it...😂

  5550. Western Media listening to the most reliable information source in this war....Wagner PMC

  5551. Do the editors of BBC/CNN/SKY/ABC and NYTimes/Telegraph etc. all realize that there are only 2 groups of Western citizens now: those who know they've been lied to for almost three years, and those who will find out soon enough?? I no longer even believe CNN when they report the weather...."
    2
  5552. At least ten NATO countries issued direct statements yesterday unequivocally stating "we are NOT sending troops to Ukraine". Italy sent a huge army into Russia in 1942 in support of their ally, Germany. 235,000 Italian troops fought at Stalingrad but the Red Army destroyed them almost to a man. Italy will NEVER in a thousand years send an army to Russia again.
    2
  5553. This is not our war....never was. Go Russia!
    2
  5554. 81 missiles, the slower less advanced ones fired first, with the supersonic and hypersonic big boys coming after. Imagine the target was a Ford-class supercarrier, sitting at the center of a carrier strike group of protective ships. Who here thinks that carrier would exist right now?
    2
  5555. WaPo has story about leaked US intel that even they admit this F-16 gift is symbolic as it won't change anything in the air or on the ground. Ukraine can't even keep their few remaining Su-24s inside the country as Russia has all their bases under 24 hour drone/satellite watch. Ukraine has to launch their Storm Shadows, then fly to Poland to land because the Kinzhals and Iskanders will be only 20 minutes behind them if they land in Ukraine. How will an F-16 change this?
    2
  5556. Iskander in English is "Alexander" as in the Greek conqueror. The name means "Protector of Men", so when Russia puts an Iskander down the throat of Ukraine they are protecting themselves. 😂😂😂
    2
  5557. Of course. They have Ukraine's NATO army in a pocket and the point is to keep them there in that 2 mile by 2 mile square and annihilate them with drones and 3000 lb guided bombs. Let's all pray that Russia is successful.
    2
  5558. I don't care for CUVs but its cars like this that lessen my annoyance at our forced EV future. I like the 'Stang details in the front, the splitter, the vents, I like the Brembos peeking out, I like the taillights and the "GT" badge. I like the interior (but that giant iPad has to go---half that size integrated in the dash and I'm good). Its close, very close. This is the first (and so far only) EV that has the details to give it some character----the kind of things we brag about to our buddies on Saturday night. Based on what I see here, when the real Mustang EV option shows up, I think we will all be very pleased.
    2
  5559. Im pro-Russia simply because NATO started the war by threatening Russia first. NATO must fail or we will see them do the same with Taiwan against China, Nigeria against Niger, anywhere anyone can bribed to be the Western proxy to do their dirty work will now be a new "cauldron". A NATO victory is a far more dangerous global future for ALL than a Russian victory

  5564. And neo-cons like you are going to bend half the world to your will, making them "Democratic" because YOU think its best for them? Good luck with that...
    2
  5565. So what?
    2
  5566. LOL A "warehouse" like it was a shed or Home Depot full of weapons. It was a national arsenal facility; designed to hold thousands of weapons in underground storage safely. No "drone" could do that......we all know what did it....and who...."
    2
  5567. "We all agree both sides need to negotiate and now; we aren't putting our children's lives on the line for Ukraine (and no one is crazy enough to irradiate the hemisphere for Zelensky), so we've given enough to get you this far without being overrun. That's it. Take that as your "victory".
    2
  5568. Weapons grade copium in all west media. "Its not important" , "Russia lost 125,000 and 2000 tanks in four months" , 😂
    2
  5569. 315K number was casualties, not killed, and of course that is a CIA number which is slightly more accurate than one you could make up.

  5570. The truly powerful do not have to fight. A King constantly challenged by even the smallest and weakest of Lords, is no King...
    2
  5571. Did nuclear weapons uninvent themselves in recent years? Can someone explain why the West now speaks as if they do not exist? Did the aliens deactivate them all??
    2
  5572. Last night's missile apocalypse has shattered Ukraine and NATO too. Zelensky just publicly said "American missile defenses failed". Poland is in anguish at how a Russian missile flew into their territory and nothing they had even fired at it once. The world is watching Russia demonstrate it's missile superiority
    2
  5573. The ground is dry, and both armies are moving for the kill. There was just a massive explosion in Western Ukraine near Khmelnytskyi, which is in the far west. Likely NATO weapons depot being hit by Russian missile----the explosion looked like Beirut three years ago. It literally looks like two tactical nukes going off in one corner of the city. This thing may get settled by the end of the year, I just hope the nukes don't come out before it does.
    2
  5574. Who gonna fly all that isht?? You Brits live in a fantasy world.
    2
  5575. Ukraine wants the US and UK to come in and beat down Russia for them. Somehow the fact that will kill millions doesn't seem to bother Zelensky....he thinks he's worth it.
    2
  5576. In just past 1 hour, BBC, Telegraph, AP, DW, all running this story using the exact same video from Ukraine MoD. 😂 BBC report did have some private citizen cell phone video included, but that's it. No actual "journalism"; pure broadcast arm of the Zelensky Regime
    2
  5577.  @operator9858  You get it. You see the "big picture".
    2
  5578. Can you imagine one of these babies loaded with EIGHT Kinzhal hypersonic washing machines, with an escort of four Su-57Ms each carrying four R-37 hypersonic air-to-air washing machines?? There is only ONE nation on Earth that message is sent to: The United States of America.
    2
  5579. By now we've hit what 200? 300? Houthi "targets"?? What exactly is a "target" in this war? A tent? Even Russia can't find 300 suitable "targets" for an Iskander in all of Ukraine.
    2
  5580. My goodness MORE "legislation"???

  5582. Wait till one of his soldiers nails a Challenger 2. The kid will be a millionaire
    2
  5583. Man, that looks like US Army in Vietnam clearing Viet Cong tunnels....
    2
  5584. I wouldn't answer either as its a stupid question. Ukraine cannot win; there is no way it can even with $500B in free US weapons.
    2
  5585. Literally no one in the West is pushing the "gaining ground" propaganda anymore. Everyone is planning how to keep Ukraine from being pummeled by the air over the Winter, and trying to figure out how to prevent a million Russian soldiers from swamping the place in '24.
    2

  5588. I won't even lie; I consider China a rival , not an enemy. They cheat and steal stuff all day long, but they were so far behind 30 years ago, they had to. Based on how they were dominated 70 years ago, I don't blame them. When I was a kid in the 80s, the idea China would have a supercarrier was literally science fiction. I'm happy to see them strong enough to protect themselves; I hope they will use their power more judiciously and with less arrogance than the British or United States did...
    2
  5589. Watch the AMX10 turn out to be the best NATO tank Ukraine has...LOL. The irony...
    2
  5590. It has been unmistakable that the past month or two NATO has stepped up its game on Ukraines behalf. Precision strike is where NATO dominates and we are seeing more of that than ever before, because that requires intelligence, surveillance, satellites, $200M Global Hawk, etc. A billion dollars of assets are used before one HIMARS gets fired. That is the unmistakable hand of NATO. Ukraine may be taking tens of thousands of casualties on the ground, but Russia is going to have to find a way to counter this growing precision strike capability of Ukraine.
    2
  5591. CNN would never show this because it acknowledges the human cost of Biden's War is not just falling on Russians, but on Ukrainians too. Washington Post doesn't want any Democrat voters to see something like this as it is their support of Biden that both started, and sustains this war. Never let the World forget that in September 2021 Russia sent a Security Framework that was the opening stage of negotiations directly to Biden, and he just ignored it----never even responded. Four months later, war.
    2
  5592. China's Peace Plan is the only one that can work. THEY (not NATO) step in and provide Ukraine the security it needs against a Russian invasion. Russia no longer is threatened by the chance the US will put their "Aegis Ashore" missiles currently in Poland, closer to Moscow (as the US surely would). Everyone is happy. US/UK won't allow Zelensky to consider it as it cuts them out of the picture completely. So, we'll all get a war that is growing in ferocity and scope every day.
    2
  5593. When Biden made a debacle of this, i kind of gave him a pass as he'd only been in office a few months. However all his military decisions after that have proven that he, Austin, and Milley are the worst leaders in military foreign policy that the US has had since the Vietnam war.
    2
  5594. 140 million people just said EPHH YOU! to the US and UK and their "rules based order" ( their rules only).
    2
  5595. Our media is even more stupid than they think we are. Austin clearly said the war will only end by negotiations, no single weapon can change the status quo, and when the time comes that negotiation is appropriate it won't be the US decision. The US is making all the decisions so his words are gospel...."

  5596. Zzzzz, wake me when I can stumble in after three martinis in Miami Beach, say "take me home" , and when I wake up 1300 miles later in Texas I am home safely 100% of the time. Until that day, I'll drive...

  5597. Ukraine has a simple choice: Be Neutral and non-aligned like Sweden and live. Choose to join a military alliance that exists for one purpose, the destruction of Russia, and be destroyed. Easy choice.
    2
  5598. So let me get this straight. The Biden Administration is threatening to attack Iran itself, for the actions of its "proxies", who are only designated as such because they use Iranian weapons to attack the US. By that logic, Putin should be threatening to attack the United States itself, for the actions of its "proxy", since Ukraine is using US weapons to attack Russia. Does that about sum it up?

  5603. Vindman is wrong when he says Putin "thought this would be an easy year". Putin is no Wizard; he couldn't have known a year ago what would happen. A man like him doesn't stay in power so long being stupid; he and Shoigu been preparing as if Ukraine had the $60B already. Of course they are taking advantage of the delay, but they PREPARED for anything NATO could throw at them in 2024. That is why the millions of shells from NK, the 300,000 drones a month, the hypersonic R37 missile on the Su-57, the new X-69 stealth cruise missile, the Avangard World Ender. Make no mistake. Russia is ready for anything and everything we send.

  5604. RFK Jr. said the quiet part out loud last week. This isn't our war, it was never our war. It isn't even about "democracy"; its about Biden and his "handlers" luring Zelensky with free weapons to fight instead of talk. Putin just wanted a neutral demilitarized Ukraine; other than that they could vote for all the gay sex they wanted. Twice in just the past six months there was a real chance for an armistice; BOTH times Biden shot it down, the last time Zelensky made it "illegal" to negotiate with Russia, just as his masters bid him to do. Why did Biden want war so badly? No one is precisely sure, but 1.opportunity to degrade Russia's military on the cheap. 2. some level of "payback" for 2016. 3. The chance that at some future date, US could put Aegis Ashore missiles into Ukraine and tighten the noose around Russia's neck.

  5605. Ahh, too much whining. My car AC compressor died and its a week to wait on a new one. I went out today in 109 degree F heat and I just brought a Yeti cooler with ice water along while driving 10 mph faster than usual 😃No biggie. Yesterday my teens walked a couple of blocks to the grocery store at midday to get snacks while I was at work. They never even once complained about the heat; they've been here their whole lives and what is the difference between 103F and 109F? I truly believe humans born into hot weather simply adapt to it. In 2123 kids will walk around in 125F weather like its nothing....
    2
  5606. I do wonder, a few years after this war ends, how so many of these Western "experts" will defend the setting aside of their brains for the sake of the media paycheck?? "...only a pontoon bridge..." Pontoon bridges are all Russia needs to supply and support their soldiers in this area. So what they can't bring up heavy tanks? AFU don't have that many themselves. This new NATO army has hundreds of light wheeled vehicles...Strykers/Maxxpros/Mastiffs/Senators, etc. The weak border guards are long gone; AFU been facing Spetznaz/Akhmat/VDV/Marines/Storm-Z now for a week; that's why all their attacks but for a few measly gains near Sudzha have been stopped cold. These are tough, experienced men who are the perfect counter to fast mobile / guerilla tactics. Whatever few tanks AFU has will just get a Lancet welcome like the Challenger 2 did; bridge or no bridge, AFU aint goin anywhere...."

  5607. ....and Iran did not attack us. Kinda important, eh?

  5608. Payback for the US killing 112 Syrians last week that the Western media didnt give two ishtz about....
    2
  5609. The US/UK media just can't accept it. They can't accept the reality of the Russian Steamroller. They acknowledge (now) that Russia is on a "total war" economic footing, producing more ammo, Ukraine is now out of more men, etc. but they can't take those facts to the logical conclusion: this is a war they cannot win.
    2
  5610. So, basically the "Tokmak in 10 days" we heard last weekend was complete and total bullshyte by Ukraine?
    2
  5611. No one really knows. Theories abound; to take and hold ZNPP, to draw troops away from Donbas, to blackmail EU by controlling the LNG metering station. Who knows? Maybe all three; only the second one was confirmed by Syrsky. The only thing everyone pro-Ukraine and pro-Russia alike agree on is that Kursk was a tactical disaster.... Maybe strategically it will do something positive as time passes, but in a tactical sense---one of the greatest blunders in military history..."

  5612. What is strange is that the West never lost its collective isht the last FOUR times Putin won; it only now going crazy because he is beating them , not someone else they don't care about. 😂

  5613. At $91K I don't see how the RAM TRX isn't a better spend objectively speaking. Its bigger (can carry more people, stuff and can tow), its more off-road capable, its better built, and no human can feel the 0.7 second difference in 0-60 time between the two. 3.0 for R1T vs. 3.7 for TRX is not humanly detectable. If we are talking which ridiculous toy is "better", to me it would still be the TRX.
    2
  5614. Some other bloggers "guess" the main thrust will be in Novoprokopivka direction but that's just a guess, Novodonetske isn't that far away so that could also be the direction of main thrust. The problem is both areas are heavily defended; Novoprokopivka has two lines in front and two bigger lines behind it. No matter where Ukraine goes, this will not be any kind of maneuver war until Ukraine breaks through at least 5 or 6 lines; this will be the Germans and Belgians at Liege. Rock vs. hard place and one will eventually be broken.
    2
  5615. It is difficult for people to understand complex things unless you relate it to them. For example, most Americans cannot understand the lunacy behind this war as they are totally ignorant of Russian history and only know what they are told. For those, I give an example: Imagine if Mexico, upset with how its people have been treated, decided to annex territory on our border where their people have long been the majority. Places like Brownsville, TX and Baja, CA and everything in between. Now imagine Mexico is 1.3B in population and they spend $4.5 T (not B) a year on their military. How many Americans from Maine, or Ohio, or North Dakota would volunteer to go fight Mexico?? None....
    2
  5616. The Abrams delivery to Ukraine is "delayed" several weeks. Biden publicly forgets where he is---again. Kim is on his way to trade 100,000 artillery shells per month, for technology that will enable him to have his own SATAN II super-heavy ICBM with the latest ABM evasive tech. All this, and CNN chooses to go with an article about fake vehicles when Russia has so many attack drones they are sending them after two or three AFU guys in a spider hole. How do you CNN watchers put up with this day in and day out??

  5619. "NATO has been exposed as straight up incompetent. There is simply no other objective explanation. They thought it would be easy, and they were wrong. Disastrously wrong."
    2
  5620. Biden, Austin, and Milley are doing what is legal, but it isnt moral. They are using Ukraine to hurt Russia and are happy to do so because it only costs them money, not US lives. Austin actually said this last year when he said "this is an opportunity to degrade Russia's military". Those were his exact words. Russia has a right to respond to the threat of US Aegis Ashore missiles, currently in Poland and Romania, one day being moved into Ukraine, giving Russia no time to react to a NATO first strike. Westerners believe NATO is benign---"defensive only"---but this is propaganda. It is a military alliance and like any such alliance it exists to crush its enemies in war. It exists to win.
    2
  5621. US first to open its mouth while the fires still burning in Crocus to say "Ukraine didn't do it!!". When in you entire life you ever heard one country jump up loudly to exonerate another country??? Everyone knew it was Ukraine/NATO; just need to find the proof."

  5624. 21 miles of tactically worthless land; mostly open fields and biggest town Sudzha taken only 5000 pop. Now they are surrounded, no more easy "thunder runs" with armored cars into empty towns to take selfies. Everywhere they go forward now is a fight. For what purpose? In Donbass, the six month steamrolling of AFU continues unabated, with RU going for the logistic jugular (Pokrovsk) of the entire area, having taken or about to take 3 cities of 10K, 30K, and 70K population each. If they get Pokrovsk, that is cities of size numbering over 170,000 people lost because Napolensky sent his brand new NATO army into Kursk to get a town of 5,000........"
    2
  5625. Stupid ass Zelensky should have just talked two years ago. What the worst that could have happened? He loses Crimea, but maybe gets back the Ukrainian-speaking parts of the annexed areas. At least SOME of the grain producing areas instead of almost NONE he has now. All in exchange for a pledge to keep NATO out forever. Now look what he has-------FAR LESS!!!

  5628. Yeah, heard about this as well. I am so angry at my government; angrier than I've ever been ( and Iraq 2003 made me very angry). I want every DEM out of the Federal Government; all of them. I felt sorry for AFU for 2+ years because I felt like the US/UK promised them the impossible, and the young guys just don't know any better. I don't feel sorry for them any longer...."

  5636. "Iranian-linked targets in Syria" What does that even mean? Targets that aren't actually "Iranian", are in Syria, but not part of the Syrian Military?? WE sent the ships into the area on our own volition (Israel didn't request them). Once there, their presence alone is a menace to everyone and power invites challenge. Now, we got challenged and Biden is doing what he and Blinken wanted to do all along...

I forgive not having an inline 6 as Toyota don't have any such engine in its inventory, however the V8 from the LC500 should be at least an upgrade option. (The LC500 in Toyota form should have been the MKV Supra anyway). I'll have to see how it plays out, but at least they now have me as a potential customer again. Fucc that BMW...
    2
  5640. Just saw some vid of Kharkiv and RU of course using TOS-1a flamethrowers on AFU, but I saw something else. A gun crew using an MT-12 Rapira in the indirect fire role. The MT-12 is a 100mm anti-tank gun dating from the late 1960s. Dangerous to a T-64 or any Bradley yes, but the chances of an Ukrainian vehicle getting ambushed by one are very low as its direct fire range only about 1 km; an FPV drone would spot it and kill it 99% of time. However, by using a drone to find targets, RU can elevate the MT-12 and fire an HE shell out to 8 or 9 km and use it just like cheap artillery. Since they don't have to see the target they can bury it in a basement without its barrel even showing. They have THOUSANDS of these 55 year old guns, and hundreds of thousands of HE shells. An ancient gun made relevant by drones. Reason #144 why no one can beat Russia in a land war on its own territory....

  5641. Waiting to see the "making gains" headlines on CNN and BBC later today....

  5642. Russia should advance through Kupiansk, Bakhmut, and Ohrekov. NO way Ukraine can stop all three.

  5643. I saw the Wagner posters there yesterday and I laughed so hard. "Prigozhin trolling Poland so hard" I love Wagner; imagine how boring this war would have been without Prigozhin and his merc army. I'm going to wear T-shirts with their emblems, their tag line: "We know we are going to Hell, but in Hell we will be the best." , etc. Those guys have written themselves into the history books----but ONLY IF RUSSIA WINS. If Russia loses, NATO will write the history and Wagner will go right next to the Fedayeen Al Saddam. Slava Rossii!!

  5644. CNN/BBC too. The amount of cognitive dissonance on the NATO side is astounding. However, I've begun to hear arguments by them now of "well, what has Putin really won?". They are beginning to believe...

  5646. Umanske fallen. Vovchansk cut in half. Breakthrough at Chasiv Yar. Lyptsi under complete artillery fire control. Best of all; this all took only 5 days because hundreds of millions of our tax dollars the Biden Administration keeps sending over there somehow didn't result in any fortifications being built.

  5647. Meh, robots can't be any deadlier than American citizens. Outside the US maybe humanity should worry; in this country with all our guns, even Terminators would flee in terror from the humans of the United States.

  5649.  @lesterlammers9463  No facts to counter, so name-calling? Typical. Yeah, not one but two $5M CV-90s, supposedly the best IFV in the world, drilled in the side by an RPG7 tandem warhead. This was in Kremmenaya just yesterday; $10M of NATO wealth turned into a smoking ruin by about $500 worth of Russian ammo. The drone watched for at least a minute and no one got out of either.....the hole made by an RPG round may be small, but what that molten jet does to the flesh of the humans inside is----horrific.

  5651. After the Vicky Nuland interview on CNN last week, whatever shreds of credibility this administration had about the origins of this war are gone. She said: "....we wanted a Westernized Russia that was more European....". Her words, not mine. Austin is just a role-player in the grand scheme for the US/UK to put Russia under their collective heel. WE are the "evil empire"...

However, the reality is that it is cost-effective, safe and reliable that sells in ALL countries by the metric ton. There is no amount of "buy local, support local" that can overcome the power of the individual wallet; Wal Mart is proof of that. Germany's auto industry is doomed; take care however, as you are not alone, the United States' auto industry will join yours in the dustbin of history...
    2
  5655. So Ukraine = America?? Sounds like YOU are the traitor
    2
  5656. Those 75th Ranger Americans and Canadians destroyed in Bryansk were probing RU defenses in the area to give Ukraine a possible place to attack again. Not to actually win anything, but to get in the Western news again for "invading Russia" right before the US Election.
    2
  5657. Lies. African countries got 3% of Ukrainian grain and Putin just yesterday said Russia will make up the difference to the countries that were getting it. No one anywhere will "starve".
    2
  5658. Yeah, we Americans told Joe Biden this 3 years ago and he didn't listen. We said "just like in 1943, for every Abrams you send, there will be 3 or 4 T-72s, Russia will always win" We were right, Biden was wrong...
    2
  5659. Thanks!!! That other channel Binkov had a similar military summary up a few days ago for India-Pakistan, but they lied so much about NATO-Russia the past three years I don't trust ANYTHING they'd say. I didn't even watch their program.
    2
  5660. Why would a Black American guy vote for Harris? Four years ago, none of us knew that Biden was going to start a war with Russia, but today there is no question: Harris has openly said she'll continue the war. Black people are only 12% of the population but 21% of the active duty US Army. Meaning Harris will send them to the trenches of Ukraine to be sacrificed at a rate double that of their presence in the country. Who the fucc would choose that???

  5663. Not really surprising. AFU is right now in a 2 mile wide "kill box" around Robotyne. They made NO "breakthrough". They are stuck there now three days being obliterated by 1000 lb. guided bombs and thermobaric rockets both of which exterminate all life in their impact zone. The Russians have the high gound on the flanks; manned by VDV Paratroopers, Marines, and Spetznaz----good luck thinking those guys will quit. I didn't go to West Point and I could see that area was designed to annihilate any enemy attacking through there; why did AFU leadership send their NATO army in there? From the looks of it, they won't have much of a NATO army left....

  5664. No way this ends without Russia vs. NATO. Let's just hope it stays conventional only

  5667. News in India reporting this evening Biden is planning to give Zelensky the best cruise missile the US has; the JASSM-ER. A $4M each technological tour-de-force that is the last "game-changer" in the US arsenal. If this doesn't win the war, Zelensky will then ask for ballistic missiles, and then of course we all no longer get to argue about it.
    2
  5668. That one night vision vid look like orbital bombardment shots from a Star Destroyer turbolaser. We've seen krasnopol shells hit at night, and the projectiles in this vid are moving much faster than a 152mm artillery shell.

  5670. The fact an unmarried woman has "options" is not really the problem. I know several women in their 70s who had multiple ("suitors" they called them back then) men, vying to marry them. That was prudent and smart; men had options too and until he put that ring on her finger, a woman could never be 100% sure (nor could she give him all the "goodies" until he did make that commitment). That isn't what the problem is in 2023. The problem in 2023 is the woman is now riding and swallowing ALL of the "suitors" on alternating weekends. There are no "goodies" saved for ANY of them, so what is the benefit of commitment? THAT is the problem.
    2
  5671. Why? If the person wants to (and isn't being lied to by an Indian recruiter), why shouldn't they? In a free country one is free to make his own choice, no? US does not stop American men who want to go fight for Ukraine (or even Russia!----last week an American fighting for Russia raised the American flag near Avdiivka!). US doesn't stop people either way.
    2
  5672. Meanwhile RU keeps the 400 EU commercial aircraft, mostly Airbus, that were stranded on the day of the invasion. Worth about $120B; EU will never see those planes again----they'll serve the skies over Russia, China, Iran, and NK for the next 30 years.
    2
  5673. Ummm, yeah on day 1 you will think "wow, this is just like a Volvo XC90 with a $30K discount!". By day 400 or 500, you'll think "now I know why it cost $30K less than the Volvo XC90". You get what you pay for.

  5676. Yes, and I could be Emperor Constantine. The bulge in Robotyne hasn't gotten larger in about a week in spite of Ukraine pouring infantry in there every day. That means virtually every guy they send in there becomes a casualty. Russia sent a whole army from Kupiansk to Tokmak so the manpower advantage there that Ukraine had two weeks ago is gone; they now are outnumbered and they are on the attack----a recipe for disaster. This same "they could crumble" garbage from the Americans is what helped start the war; the believe "oh they're all drunks", "they are running out of missiles" , "they have only shovels" , "they will run away at sight of a Leopard 2". ALL myths blown apart.
    2
  5677. It is impossible for Ukraine to "win". We are now in YEAR THREE of the PEOPLE of Crimea and the annexed regions VOTING to be Russia. If Zelensky thinks he can somehow rebuild and try again to take it all back in 2025, he is insane----by then they'll be celebrating the fifth anniversary of them being Russia. They just celebrated "Unification Day" a few months ago; CNN and BBC will never report it, but NATO leadership knows this. Every day those people move into new apartments, build new homes, start new jobs, etc.; entrenching their "Russian-ness". Going back to 1991 borders is a fantasy idea that simply ignores reality: not even worth discussion.

  5682. S-300 doesn't miss and much faster than a drone.

  5683. The Western media has helped turn us citizens into seals clapping and yapping at everything Zelensky says and does. Do people know his generals and the US told him not to try to hold Bakhmut, he overrode them and 50K Ukrainians died over 9 months fighting for that city that is now lost to Russia? Do people know he is demanding FIFTY Patriot batteries (he was given three, only one now remains as Russia destroyed the other two) or he will refuse to attend any future NATO summit? Zelensky is behaving like a man who knows he is doing the boss' dirty work, and now wants to increase his compensation as the work is proving to be far more "dirty" than either of them thought it would ever be. America has a history with leaders like that; the most recent was named Saddam Hussein....
    2
  5684. I just can't stop laughing as I predicted all of this 100% accurately two years ago. You can't beat Russia "on the cheap"; they don't play at war, they go all out. To beat them you have to go all out, which means hundreds of thousands of casualties and no Western country will ever do that. Ukraine IS willing to pay in their men, women and 17 yr old boys, but Russia has much larger population so no matter how long it takes, Russia wins. Either way I knew Russia would win. Simple.
    2
  5685. They are lucky Ukraine blew up the dam to protect itself while it sent its NATO army to Zaporizhzhia (which, now as it turns out didn't do much as that army has now been smashed). Imagine if the four months of futile Ukrainian fighting near Ohrekov had instead taken place here; they would not even be present to complain and their homes would look like the apocalyptic wasteland known as Robotyne.

  5686. Nothing. This was obvious in 2021 to anyone with a brain...."

  5687. Then Iran will respond again, then Israel, then Iran, then Israel....

  5688. From what I understand, the US has trained a few hundred Ukrainian tank crews and support personnel; about three months training. When US Army soldiers would get EIGHT months of training. Also, Ukraine does not operate any tank with a turbine engine, and to qualify to be an engine mechanic for the Abrams a US army recruit has to score in the 99th percentile on the ASVAB. THREE months of training; finding people smart enough to maintain them when Ukraine has taken 500,000 casualties and most men not yet drafted have fled the country. The Abrams' time on Ukraine's battlefield will be short and brutal.

  5689. The foreigners came there to fight; so why is AFU making them fight a news story?

  5690. While this car has to fight a lot of negative brand equity, the reality is that underneath that lowbrow Dodge skin, is the exact same hardware in the Tonale which competes with Audi/Benz/BMW. Dodge has typicaly been cheap speed with bottom-feeder parts, but with this you get (relatively) cheap speed with a ZF transmission, the exact same engine as in the Giulia/Stelvio (and the Maserati Grecale base models!!!!). When in all of creation did any Dodge share the same engine with a Maserati?? The typical caveman Dodge buyer will have to up his game for this however. That Alfa motor is stout and powerful and has been running for six years in other cars with no issues. However to keep it happy requires Fiat Euro-spec oil and spark plug changes every 60K miles. It is basically an exotic engine and people used to cheap gas, Wal Mart oil, and ignoring the maintenance schedule will probably be complaining in 5 years their car is "unreliable". Its not the car that is unreliable; its them.

  5691. Yeah because Russia just turned $30B of "wonder weapons" into flaming wrecks. Last time you could argue "these weapons will beat Russia!" and some (not everyone, not me) believed it could be true. Now, what can he say?
    2
  5692. Maybe Putin is telling the truth this time and sipping his vodka while laughing as we fret to and fro over what it means? Maybe he really does just like her laugh??
    2
  5693. Wow. I remember the report a month ago where Russia claimed to have used a Kinzhal on a Ukrainian command center near Bakhmut. It said NATO personnel were in there too. Crazy. Russia MoD is more trustworthy than our own media.
    2
  5694. Help add to Russia's collection of NATO trophies is all...

  5695. Yesterday, a group of German Mayors are demanding the Federal Government release money to update WW2-era bomb shelters that haven't been maintained in 75 years. Just a coincidence a week after German Marders invaded Russia??"
    2
  5696. Churchill wanted to kick Russia out of what would later become East Germany as well as Poland in 1945, if they resisted he wanted Truman to use the Bomb on them. Luckily, Truman had enough of war and wanted nothing to do with that; he felt it was better to just play the long game and try to limit the spread of Communism.
    2
  5697. Putin is right about history; the US cannot inflict a strategic "defeat" upon Russia without itself going into Russia to fight face to face, and US will never do that.
    2
  5698. I looked and can find no reference to Zelensky saying that in Ramstein. If the did say that, it would be headline news around the world and there'd be no way for NATO to suppress it. Anyone have a link to it?

  5699. I'd bet every bridge in Ukraine wide enough for 2 or more people is going to be dropped over the next few weeks...

  5700. "Iran-backed", boy they are hammering that phrase into our brains until we just take their word for it, eh? Just like "WMDs"

  5701. What complete and utter trash... 34 yr old "mom" with a 21 year old "boyfriend"...

  5702. LOL. After first welcoming them as "liberators"!! Stalin never forgot that isht.😀
    2
  5703. Do women understand that men do not marry the town "bicycle"; the one everyone has "ridden"?? This has been true for all of recorded history across all cultures, and there is a valid biological reason: women can be sure a baby is theirs while men cannot. The only way for a man to have any sense of assuredness that the child is actually his, is for the woman to have been a virgin (or at the very least in the modern age not have a confirmed track record of riding everything they see). Feminism got rid of those natural limiting factors, so modern women have "freedom" to mount up whenver/wherever they wish. That freedom comes with a price however, men no longer consider most modern women "marriage quality". There is a price for everything, and for everything there is a price.

  5706. My father came to this country in 1970 and I was born in 1978. All through the late 80s and 90s I have memories of daily issues of Wall Street Journal stacked around his office. Even as a child I'd read them out of boredome sometimes, mostly the sports but usually something interesting would catch my eye. As a teen I asked him why he read the Journal all these decades and he said "that paper is the voice of the people who run this country, once I came here I needed to understand who they people are that makes things happen and the WSJ is their mouthpiece." To this day I still read the WSJ. 🙂

  5707. See women? You can't do it alone. If you want to raise good boys into great men, get married before giving away your goodies. STAY married.

  5708. Maybe break the engine in properly this time instead of driving it up the side of a mountain first????
    2
  5709. "The Russia Ukraine war conflict has hit a stalemate. This has prompted NATO to suggest a settlement option. It includes Ukraine agreeing to give away part of its land to Russia. Kyiv has dismissed NATO's suggestion." Zelensky yet again, won't listen to reason. Even as he sends teenage boys to the Front to face the Russian onslaught. He wont realize that NATO is his problem; he wouldn't need NATO to "solve" his problem if he just got rid of NATO itself. Niger is trying to do this as well as the World has seen clearly that NATO is the disease, not the cure.

  5710. Austin just said US don't yet know why they are there....

  5711. I think this is the first time in two years that Sun posted an article that is unfavorable to Ukraine.

  5712. Macron trying to pretend he is the tough one....LMAO. Russia doesn't make threats; they simply state the results of a course of action.
    2
  5713. Not really. He was forced to say all that stuff. No military expert ever believed Ukraine could win this war. How the fucc does the country with 100 old combat planes beat the country with 1500 new ones??
    2
  5714. This car was designed for me---at least the Modena trim is. In two years as a CPO purchase with Maserati's unlimited mileage warranty. Porsches retain value to a degree no other brand can match....they just do However a CPO Maserati is an excellent luxury sports value imho. You can rack up unlimited miles worry free for three years, and since the big depreciation hit took place before you bought, you get to enjoy driving a 1%-er car for 20%-er money.
    2
  5715. So which NATO country going to send troops in to save Ukraine? Biden will be impeached if he tries to send an American. UK? Poland?
    2
  5716. If Ukraine blew it up, they were smart to do so as now Russia can't attack them through Kherson while they are on the offensive in Zaporizhzhia. If Russia blew it up, it does seem stupid to flood your own defensive lines, but maybe that was a calculated risk and they WANTED Ukraine to have only one realistic option: to attack in Zaporizhzhia (where the Russian defenses are the strongest). Who knows? Who cares? Judging by the shattered Leopards, Bradleys, and MRAPs the past few days, it wouldn't matter where Ukraine attacks, it is hopeless for them.
    2
  5717. Just need a "CNN believable" justification for Iran since 2012
    2
  5718. Boris Johnson yesterday: "...if Ukraine falls it will be a catastrophe...it will be the end of Western Hegemony..." Rishi Sunak today: "...growing threats from Russia, Iran, and China.." Growing threats of our own making, because our elites cannot accept the natural decline of Hegemony

  5720. I was in college at the time, and after the OJ trial, the cops turned the corner on domestic violence. Before 1994, if a girl said she was beat up, but there were no visible injuries, most cops didn't arrest whoever she accused. After the OJ trial, even if she didn't have a mark on her, they took it seriously enough to come find you and interview you. If your story was sketchy you got arrested.

  5721. Depends. If the French are in a town trying to hold it, Wagner wins as they have far more experience at storm tactics.

  5722. He and the UK don't understand American law. Joe Biden has no authority to start a war with Russia (or take action likely to start one). That is solely at Congress, who represent us , the People. Never in a thousand years would I sacrifice my sons for Ukraine....*

  5723. The last shipment of ammo from the US was in January, and typically the "pipeline" of ammo is about two months deep. So how they run out of ammo in just a few weeks??
    2
  5724. Mercs... Hope war junkies like him don't get the rest of us into a shooting war with Russia. The irony; he talks about "freedom", but he goes over there of his own choice, and risks Russia's blowback on all of us who never made that choice...."

  5725. See , the DEM in you slipped out. Attacking Putin is about Trump for you.

  5726. Honda vs. Hyundai?? Are you kidding??

  5727. US helped Ukraine sink that ship. Putin has had enough
    2
  5728. Indigenous? Looks 100% Russian design....
    2
  5729. At this point this whole debacle is a laugher. The Russians are going through the Donbas like a hot knife through butter, even Syrsky admits Kursk has failed, there is not a single front in the whole war where AFU has the initiative, a 40,000 strong army menaces in Belarus preventing Ukraine from moving their troops there to another place they are needed, effectively removing them from the entire war. RU rules the sky; the pathetic little trio of F-16s can only fly near Lviv and only shoot down $20K drones. None of these facts are in dispute. NATO has lost, Zelensky has lost, Ukraine has lost. Only a fool believes otherwise..."
    2
  5730. Two years of US and UK intelligence about Russia, totally wrong, "NATO superiority" in weaponry dashed to pieces. The Western-Israeli bloc is revealed to be weak; and weakness invites challenge. This is just the beginning; the 21st Century will be one of constant warfare, just like the 20th.
    2
  5731. You noticed!!! Thank God there is at least one other than myself in America that is not a sheep! Perhaps there is hope for us? 🙂
    2
  5732. By publicly blaming North Korea for supplying (apparently the KN-23 tactical missile) to Russia, and then showing video of them (two hits!) turning a fueling facility and several tanker trucks into a blazing inferno, the United States has tacitly confirmed that NK missiles are capable of hitting a building the size of a Home Depot from 400 km away.
    2
  5733. The negotiations failed; China will continue to ship washing machines to Russia
    2
  5734. ...and this little place called Bakhmut, Sky? What about that? The spin and deflection is laughably absurd. Putin just said "no frozen war" like the Americans are thinking----no surprise as Russia is winning.
    2
  5735. I really hope none of you believe it just "crashed"..... For our nations' future, I pray the average Joe is smarter than that...."
    2
  5736. Yet another example in a 60 year history of liberal California ideas hollowing out our culture from the inside. In an attempt to reduce their prison population, California made crime, "non-crime". Now, when everyone is a criminal, no one is. Spreading like liberal cancer to all parts of the country as we speak.
    2
  5737. How do we know for sure the devices only went to Lebanon or Beirut?? Every car has a radio; how do we know our cars are not rigged too (just in case)???
    2
  5738. I really am getting tired of these people always complaining because THE BIGGER ARMY IS BEATING THE SMALLER ONE!!
    2
  5739. Knew this a month ago, what shocks me is the replacement is NOT Budanov. Someone named Oleksandr Syrsky is the new sacrificial lamb. Budanov (a spy), as the head of the Army would have been a cataclysmic disaster (and is probably why Vicky Nuland flew to Kyiv in a hurry last week to tell her pet she did not agree with him putting Budanov in there).
    2
  5740. That's nice. Putin says "NO". Back to the table Napolensky to try again...
    2
  5741. Or Americans whose eyes have finally fluttered open?
    2
  5742. The Houthis have been on a rampage and US / UK powerless to even slow them down.
    2
  5743. In 1945, the Imperial Japanese Navy, fully aware the war was unwinnable and down to their last capital ship, sent the super battleship Yamato directly at the US Navy invasion fleet at Okinawa. With only enough fuel to reach its destination, none of the 2000+ sailors aboard expected to return; their only goal to meet the US Navy in a glorious 200 ships vs. 1 ship battle where they would go down fighting and become an eternal legend. What choice did they have? Surrender and let the Americans take the largest warship in human history home as a prize? Never. Zelensky was inspired by this historical occasion and-----for the first time ever in my life----I kind of respect him a little bit now...."
    2
  5744. As usual, this is a car for those who don't care much about style or performance. For its target customer, this will be exactly what they want. However for a person that wants to feel something while they drive, that new Alfa Tonale PHEV is a arrow to the heart of this segment. It has everything this has and you know it will have far better leather (its Italian!), better handling (adaptive dampers), and we all know already its much better looking. Plus newer designs have the crazy new connected services some people like (you can use Alexa to have your Tonale hatch remotely open and close to accept deliveries). Sure the Lexus will still be running in 2099, but nobody really cares in this segment. 2 to 4 year lease and on to the next new car; in that space the Lexus' only advantage is nullified. Life is too short to be driving boring cars.
    2
  5745. It is coming apart; Zelensky is clearly showing his desperation at the situation. The crushing defeats of Ukraines army the past week and the announcement today by Russia that their Lyman Offensive has begun is starting to bring reality to him. The Chechens posted pictures of Ukrainian soldiers they took prisoner today and they look like Grandpa's... I'm not even sure Putin would pick up the phone today for Armistice talks. I wouldn't-----because I know tomorrow I'll have even more than I do today.
    2
  5746. Ukraine blows out windows while Russia blows out entire city blocks: the entire war in summary.
    2
  5747. No one was shooting at us until Biden sent the US Navy in there to protect Israel...
    2
  5748. Zelensky decsions: 2022 reject peace agreement 2023 split NATO-trained army to hold Bakhmut, weaking it so that Zaporizhzhia offensive failed completely 2023 send UK-trained marines to Krinky to get on CNN/BBC/SKY, where they were completely destroyed for zero gain 2024 send new NATO-trained army into Kursk to get on CNN/BBC/SKY, instead of to Donbas where it was needed I mean; why has Ukraine Parliament not fired Zelensky for poor performance???"
    2
  5749. This is a very stylish and good looking vehicle right at the heart of the fat sales curve. Honestly the only thing that will limit its sales is dealers. There's a Dodge dealer on every corner and the Hornet is a good looking vehicle too. It may not have the exquisite looks and butter soft Italian leather of the Tonale, but its tough guy looks and abundance of dealers would probably have me take the Hornet myself even though I am an Alfa fan. I also think that as rates rise and reality sets in for the world economy, the PHEV lower cost is going to give it far more life than people thought it would have. Full battery EVs are priced out of this Universe----$100K trucks is just nonsense. A PHEV with 30-50 miles of battery range, normal costs, no range anxiety? Winner.
    2
  5750. I've never agreed with MTG, but I did today. The utter gall of the UK trying to "shame" us with a pathetic reference to the "H-boogeyman", when the UK has been at the front of telling the world the Russians are "poorly led drunks with shovels that can't take Bakhmut, running out of missiles, conscripts will run away from the Leopard 2, etc.". Oh, yeah NOW after all that, the fate of the world hangs on whether we agree to send $60B to the same folks that got shattered last summer for virtually zero gain?? Well said, MTG, well said...

  5751. United States has denied its involvement in the Nordstream 2 bombing and no one evaluates its "plausible deniability"
    2
  5752. so, Shahed-131 goes 1500km....
    2
  5753. LOL. They've seen what those Kinzhals, Iskanders, Oniks, and Storms can do, and Patriot was powerless against most of them.
    2
  5754. How can Zelensky "refuse" a freeze when he is the one asking for weapons to continue the "hot" war?? That's like asking to use someone's lawnmower and when they say no, you take it anyway
    2
  5755. LOL. 10x the cost of a Lancet, and, due to GPS jamming, fall out of the sky like a bug hit by spray of RAID
    2
  5756. JDAMS, HIMARS, Storm Shadow, ATACMS, Hammer, SCALP, none can argue anymore "it's our old stuff". Its 2024 not 2022 and both NATO and Russia have taken the gloves off. Zelensky is no longer a President, Ukraine is no longer a country-----just a place for the two great powers to settle the score.
    2
  5757. The only reason RU would need to "go there" is if USA goes in and USA aint going in. They hardly need strategic stuff for the likes of AFU...."

  5758. S-300 is an incredible system; can hit air and gound targets with deadly accuracy. Even Patriot is anti-air only.... Russian "shovels" are superior 🙂

  5759. So what NATO weapons were being hidden there by Ukraine?

  5760. Murder over love and jealousy; one of the oldest chapters in the human story. Only 22; It is difficult to make young people understand that they have decades of life ahead of them, that these ups and downs of love will fade with time. I was no different 20 years ago; it was very hard to see one you loved with another. There but for the grace of God go I....go us all...
    2
  5761. They SAID they'd do it a few months ago, but clearly it takes time (and the right time of year) for offensives. So, their INTENT was long ago, their ACTION is what you see now.
    2
  5762. I don't care what he says; he is the only one that will do what needs to be done. Trump gonna win; he has my vote. He has the clearly desired policy for the three most important things to every American: 1. Illegal immigration, 2. No thanks to war with Russia and 3. No to Socialism like student loan forgiveness. Harris has the losing policy on those three and its not even close.
    2
  5763. I know it sounds crazy, but nothing pushes a nation forward faster and more completely than building its own military equipment. Everything from the steel, to the paint, to the electronics, to the food stores pushes India's industry and National knowledge forward. ALL developing nations should strive to design, engineer, and manufacture as much of their own military equipment as possible, even countries who haven't fought a war in centuries. Who cares whether you use it or not; the learning from creating it and operating it will pay dividends ten times over in your civilian economy. When you're done with it some other weaker country will buy it too! Win/Win.

  5764. That new Russian weapon looks like the stuff Thanos' warship was firing at the Avengers.
    2
  5765. I was raised in the late 80s and 90s. Everything, and I do mean EVERYTHING my parents said about people with tatoos has turned out to be true. Today, so many people have them you can't go on an "all or nothing" rule anymore like in 1988. However if they have body, neck, face tats, sleeves, etc. the same rule applies: complete and utter TRASH.
    2
  5766. Only because you wanted to be
    2
  5767. Its like the Rebels vs. the Empire. Sometimes the Rebels succeed in tying up the legs of an AT-AT walker
    2
  5768. So NATO is now directing Ukraine to attack Russian strategic long range radars to detect a "first strike". What is the media theory behind how this will help Ukraine??
    2
  5769. Right now at this very moment, over 6000 cargo carriers are plying the waves bringing everything imaginable to everywhere imaginable; sustaining all our civilized lifestyles. Every one of them burns bunker oil----basically flammable sludge----which by weight has the highest energy density of any known non-nuclear material on Earth. To "End" that means we ALL go back to living like it is 1823 and Western women want no parts of getting back in front of a fireplace or wood burning stove, LOL. EVERY possible replacement for powering those ships (other than sails), costs more...a LOT more. The word "inflation" will have a completely different meaning by several orders of magnitude if we "End" use of fossil fuels.

  5770. Kamala Harris gonna do the same. Listening to her last night means I have to vote Trump. No more stupid NATO wars.....
    2
  5771. The air bombardment news is covering up an even bigger disaster. Pokrovsk, a city of 60,000 and key to the Donbas, is on the verge of being taken. The Battle of Kursk 2024, just as I and others said 3 weeks ago, has turned out just like the Battle of Kursk 1943 for the invaders...."
    2
  5772. Just stop throwing our money away and war ends. Zelensky himself and all his DEM puppet masters have been howling all month how they "are going to lose" if aid was given. Dont give any
    2
  5773. NATO will own Ukraine's land, people, and GDP for the next hundred years. No one reading this will live to see the day Ukraine takes any official act counter to what NATO wishes it to.

  5774. It doesn't look "flashy" like a Lexus; it looks like a nice Toyota.

  5775. Just another AFU lie to get more free money ... nothing more

  5776. CNN has an interview up with a Ukrainian soldier wearing a baseball cap with a Reichsadler on it.... They are so tied to their propaganda they cant even see they are talking to a Nazi

  5777. You can take your 'woke" politics and shove it. Any nation that puts their women into trenches on the front lines is a nation that does not deserve to endure.
    2
  5778. Tornado-S rocket carried 500 lb. HE fragmentation warhead. Within 20m (60+ feet) radius severe damage, instant death; out to 100m (300+ feet) fragments penetrate humans, trucks, light armor. You can see blast effects almost the entire length of the train. Anyone on that train is a casualty; either dead or injured. Any vehicle below a tank is heavily damaged to lightly damaged. Also, its very unlikely Russia would send only one rocket as rockets are cheap. That train and everyone on it is gone.
    2
  5779. They are fighting 30 vs 1 and on the defensive as they have most of the land they want. No logical reason for them to go on massive offensives taking 100s of thousands of casualties. To accomplish what?
    2
  5780. Just send the illegal immigrants to Ukraine so Zelensky can put them in a trench. We solve our problem, and he solves his
    2
  5781. Ukraine has lost 15 Leopards, 13 Bradleys, and 5 AMX10s and they haven't even come within 10km of the first defensive line. If I were Zelensky, I'd tell Biden and Sunak to go f themselves, and call up Xi and start talking the Chinese Peace Plan. Zelensky's first job is to save his country, not ensure his land is there for future NATO use. Once Ukraine's NATO attack forces is sufficiently weakened the Russians will pour out of these areas like a flood and they won't stop until they reach the Polish border.
    2
  5782. Biden doubling down. Sending free weapons to Taiwan and goading Iran as we speak. We elected an 80 year old wannabe Alexander
    2
  5783. $3B loss on F-150 Lightning. Three BILLION dollars.
    2
  5784. Ukraine has no money , no aircraft, no foreign bases. Who is enabling them logistically?? We all know, US and UK. No person from Niger or Sudan fought in Ukraine, so why Ukraine going there to fight them? Just more ugly in an American policy rife with it...
    2
  5785. Israel is going against the US, but the US will not stop supplying them or protecting them from the Houthis.
    2
  5786. These old F-16s may not inspire much fear, but the missiles they can carry are not to be discounted. Biden would give Zelensky every tactical bomb or missile in the US arsenal if they had a plane that could carry them. Its the long range stuff to bomb Moscow that Biden is reluctant to give because he knows if US/UK gives Ukraine a weapon to drop a skyscraper in Moscow, Russia will turn Kyiv into Bakhmut. Tactical stuff however, no problem. NATO vehicles haven't really been much of a threat, but one thing the US MIC is good at is bombs and missiles. The Russians will take the F-16 threat seriously; they'll bomb every base in Ukraine 24/7 if necessary.
    2
  5787.  @bayanipastrana9778  Israel may not, but United States does all the time. With Iran, with the Taliban, etc. Do it all the time. You all should try it...

  5788. Pink stripes....gotta love Texas
    2
  5789. Just look at what's in the aid and it answers all questions. No tanks, no bridging equipment, no SPGs, no offensive firepower of any significance. Its all anti-tank and anti-air missiles , IFVs, and a ton of 155mm shells. The package is aimed at allowing an infantry-heavy army to DEFEND, that's it. AFU aint gonna "win" a GDF'ing thing
    2
  5790. NATO isn't getting the message. The missile strike on their mercs today was just the beginning. No peace in our time. No more pretending. No more "playing" at war. The gloves come off until NATO realizes and acknowledges that Russia will win through and through, no matter the cost.
    2
  5791. If they weren't worried about Russian response, they would have just done it months ago. NATO behavior is limited only by counterbalance of opposing power; not by any sense of self restraint...."
    2
  5792. It’s called negotiation. The first offer from both sides is always unrealistic; this position is where the bargaining starts
    2
  5793. All Western news this morning say Ukraine is "advancing" and its "working". All neutral military channels say lots of big battles but neither can push the other back in Kursk region. Who to believe? Over the past two years, whenever there is a big disagreement in the media as to what happened, who turned out to have been right 100% of the time? The West media or the neutral bloggers?? Remember the "Russian" missile that hit the market that turn out to have come from Ukraine ? The POW plane ? I'll go with the neutral bloggers..."
    2
  5794. Zelensky is blaming us. I wonder who told him he could beat Russia in the first place??
    2
  5795. Price of Russian oil last month on average = $74 a barrel. Western sanctions "cap" = $60 a barrel. You were saying???
    2
  5796. They have the momentum after the Fall of Bakhmut. Keep the pressure on and do not let up.
    2
  5797. Only Putin can roast an American President in his own language, something no American President could do to Putin in return. Putin has been out-foxing, out-maneuvering, and out-flanking NATO leaders and US Presidents for 20 years now. Even if you hate the guy you have to respect him as a Jedi-level opponent.
    2
  5798. 200 times "we all gonna die" (that you know of) and all 200 times DEAD WRONG. Now, THIS time we're right? If that isn't a perfect example of mass narcissism, I don't know what else could be.
    2
  5799. The leading edge of the Tsunami of Steel coming this summer....
    2
  5800. Well, either in the ME or in Ukraine we are guaranteed to get what our Western leaders have wanted all along. There is no way this is going to be taken without an equivalent response....
    2
  5801. NYTimes article yesterday said "US officials now admit there were Ukrainian POWs on the plane shot down by a Patriot missile". Ukraine MoD is now on the level of the Iraqi Ministry of Information in 1991
    2
  5802. You did not weep for the Russian girl made an orphan on Kerch bridge; save your situational "outrage".
    2
  5803.  @TheFIFABoys  Agreed. However the launch planes can get closer now and still safely launch. Less reaction time for Ukraine AA to shoot down missile.
    2
  5804. I know 90% on here want NATO to win, but for the open minded 10% take heart. Last nights raid did enormous damage to Ukraine war effort; that is why the entire West media is distracting its followers..."

  5805. LOL @ 72mph in a 35mph zone... :-)
    2
  5806. Ahhh, Western Media now trying to undercut the reliability of what these men are telling Russia. Wonder why??
    2
  5807. Great! The war is expanding; just what the world has always wanted and needed!
    2
  5808. LOL. My 2011 Jag XJ Supercharged was built 12/10 meaning it is about six months away from being 12 years old. 96K miles, purrs like a kitty. Only replaced the water pump. Your HyunKiaGen will never make it to 12 years. 🙂"Reliable" my azz.
    2
  5809. They grabbing them all along the Ukrainian border with Romania. The Spring thaw has begun and they are snatching men in the woods; even literally fished one out of the river who was swimming to get away from being sent to the trenches
    2
  5810. Lol. RU destroyed rail junctions, bridges, and anything larger than a barn weeks ago. RU drones watch 24/7; all this new aid will be obliterated before it ever reaches the Front
    2
  5811. I saw that about one hour ago! I was waiting for confirmation. A Kinzhal strike! 🙂
    2
  5812. Mostly agree here, but keeping that Porsche maintained will cost you an arm and both legs. Runner up would be any Infiniti with the 3.5 or 3.7 V6 and 6/7-speed transmission; they are virtually indestructible.
    2
  5813. Hey pal, we disagree.
    2
  5814. Zelensky said yesterday $61B not enough to stop Russia "
    2
  5815. When the goddam US and UK stop thinking they can win by donating their latest "wunderwaffe". Russia is kicking Ukraines azz all over the front, blasting them behind the line every day even worse than what they are inflicting upon them at the front. Its over.
    2
  5816. When I was a child, NATO was a "defensive-only Alliance" that demonstrated so little aggression I grew up wondering if it had any outside of the United States (who was always aggressive with weak countries). Now, 30 years later, NATO is the most aggressive organization on earth. Warning everyone, everywhere what will happen if they don't submit to its "rules-based order". Its evolution demonstrates the old maxim: absolute power corrupts absolutely
    2
  5817. If its the ones with Balkenkruez on their vehicles, good riddance...
    2
  5818. I laughed when I read this title. Why? Because the evening battle reports are starting to come in and they say the exact opposite. The raid last night got some Command and Control targets; typically these have NATO personnel also present. Just as typically, everything initially said by the West about the strike turns out to be false. 😂
    2
  5819. Just drive 1 hour outside any major US city and look left and right and you see septic tanks.
    2
  5820. Le Pen answer on Ukraine is 100% correct. Amanpour gives the Biden Administration/CNN framing of the situation; not necessarily the accurate one.
    2
  5821. The only way Ukraine can get "big" is if US/UK give it to them and even just two days ago Biden said "we do not support attacks inside Russia". So, no mosquito bites is all Ukraine will ever do.
    2
  5822. The chances any of this conjecture is true are the same as an ant being aware that we built a new skyscraper. Any beings that could build such a thing would be Gods to us; like we are to worms. Not just in the physical sense, but also in the perceptive-cognitive sense. We would not be able to understand them no matter how hard we tried; and they us.
    2
  5823. My car AC compressor went out and its a week to wait for a new one. I went out today in 108 degree weather and just brought a Yeti filled with ice water and drove 10mph faster than usual. 😂 No biggie. (However I admit sitting on a plane with no AC is torture and every person on there should sue).
    2
  5824. They've been "poised" for weeks. What are they waiting for? In war the worst decision is always no decision at all...."
    2
  5825. We few objective historians have said it for months. This is Kursk 1943 all over again for the Russians. They are doing exactly what they did then: allow the enemy to attack your layered prepared defenses. Bend but don't break; retreat when they show up in force, drop a rain of artillery on them, when they move back, you counter and take the land you just left. Keep doing this for weeks, months, years even until the enemy strength begins to weaken. The whole time the factories in the Urals 2000 miles away run day and night pumping out simple, effective weapons by the trainload. Now look, Ukraine's offensive has failed and Russia now has 100,000 men on the Kupiansk Front with 1000 tanks and 1000 guns/rockets behind them. The steamroller started three weeks ago and as you can see, Ukraine cannot stop it. Just like in 1943 it will keep rolling until probably the Polish border (and may continue on to Warsaw depending on the circumstances). We warned you. You didn't listen.
    2
  5826. AFU is nothing like they were two years ago; they are a joke now. They sent 2500 men and 35 tanks to cross the border near Belgorod to try and set up a bridgehead to make Putin look bad on election weekend and it failed so spectacularly they made him look even *better*. Budanov has been raging the last two days to Zelensky that "there is a leak high up in AFU! They knew we were coming, what roads, when, everything!" 😂😂😂
    2
  5827. This was the super battleship Yamato, with only enough fuel for a one-way trip to Okinawa to engage in glorious battle with the US Navy fleet. Which at this time was 28 aircraft carriers, 23 battleships, 71 escort carriers, 72 cruisers, over 232 submarines, and 377 destroyers. Yamato had an even chance at victory...."
    2
  5828. That's an all-American 2023 snapshot right there. Guns, and more guns, everywhere and for everyone and for everything, use a gun. Thanks GOP.
    2
  5829. I like the body styling for sure. However if Dodge sold this with a supercharged Hemi right next to the EV one, I'd buy the HEMI one every time. Just sayin...
    2
  5830. As long as they dont put a Chrysanthemum on the front of their warships I trust them. If they build a new super warship and name it "Yamato" then start praying
    2
  5831. If so who cares? It is a strip of broken pavement and rubble; hasn't been used in two years.
    2
  5832. Makes perfect sense.
    2
  5833. Biden, Austin, and Milley are doing what is legal, but it isnt moral. They are using Ukraine to hurt Russia and are happy to do so because it only costs them money, not US lives. Austin actually said this last year when he said "this is an opportunity to degrade Russia's military". Now you understand why Zelensky has to use his $50B in free weapons and training: his investors want their returns
    2
  5834. No way. The Zelensky government will NEVER surrender. They are in this to whatever end. When Zelensky goes, it will be "Fuhrer bunker style".
    2
  5835. I feel sorry for those AFU that are being bludgeoned by the Russian baseball bat. They don't even have a chance; each town they know they will lose it only question is when
    2
  5836. I commented that the increased pace is due to Trump and the imminent end to hostiles and YT deleted it. NYTimes does this too. It's not my war, but nothing angers me more than US media censorship because we "speak" contrary to the party in power. Revolutions start that way...
    2
  5837.  @BLUEWAVE2024-k4f  yes, moving back toward Ukraine, while RU is inside Ukraine moving towards more of Ukraine..." 🤣🤣🤣
    2
  5838. Starting Monday, any news channel or 'tuber that says "Ukraine is winning" is getting reported for misinformation. It is time to stop accepting blatant lies and prepare people to accept that Ukraine has been defeated...."
    2
  5839. B.O. Before Oreshnik....
    2
  5840. They need more women to join the ones already in trenches near Bakhmut.
    2
  5841. Dang, China is where to go if you want to create something now; no matter who you are or where you are from.
    2
  5842. It's like the whole US is turning into Dodge City
    2
  5843. Poles in 1612. Swedes in 1708. French in 1812. Germans in 1941. Now, the AmeriBrits in 2024 (whose proxy army contains Poles, Swedes, French, and Germans). I'm not European so this pattern makes no sense to me; what is the major malfunction Europeans have with Russians? Is there a reason Europeans keep trying to invade Russia???"
    2
  5844. Failed then. Just like last time. "
    2
  5845. Figueroa Street in LA and you can get all the kitty ten men could need, without the risk of murder.
    2
  5846. The essence of ignorance. RU has 600K troops deployed, AFU 400K at this very moment; this is from Western estimates. AFU doesn't even have any "preserves" (RESERVES) while RU has enough to amount to half the Ukrainian army.
    2
  5847. Part of the reason the case was so easy to make is the huge disparity in combat power; it just lends itself to overuse. What I don't get is why Muslim nations don't give Palestinians all their old tanks, guns, and trucks so they can defend themselves. Just like NATO giving Ukraine all their old stuff so they don't get steamrolled. Ukraine can't win but they aren't just getting pancaked like Gazans.
    2
  5848. Just like the civilian cars the American Strykers shot up just across the border two days ago??"
    2
  5849. Kia and Hyundai learned from the Japanese: copy what works and make it cheaper by only focusing on what is important. Telluride is almost a carbon copy of a Volvo XC90 but instead of all that expensive Euro-style hardware underneath the Volvo, HyunKia just dropped it on the Sedona minivan platform and viola! An "XC90" at a 20% discount. This is America: no one is doing 140 on the autobahn so you don't need the expensive suspension. No one is really crossing the Sahara so you don't need the expensive air struts and off-road hardware. Americans want a comfy interior and a comfy ride, that's all. Cha-ching!
    2
  5850. Its a Free Country. Rude, but 100% legal. As long as she made no threats, I don't see a problem here.
    2
  5851. No
    2
  5852. Racist...
    2
  5853. Putin promises new investments in liquified natural gas with Vietnam, one day before EU announces new sanctions on Russian LNG. Putin, one step ahead of the West for 24 years and counting...
    2
  5854. So, will the bombs land in Syria or Jordan? Because the border line has been jumping around both sides of that base the past two days...
    2
  5855. The EV stuff is true for everyone; they are too expensive for the mainstream. However, the vehicle itself is extremely competent and well built. As long as that is true Nissan will be fine; a Nissan is more reliable than virtually everything else out there not Japanese.
    2
  5856. Patriot can't even shoot down a Kh-22 Burya and its only hypersonic in its terminal phase.
    2
  5857. My mom would love this; me not so much...
    2
  5858. Zaporizhzhia is a safer place than Chicago.
    2
  5859. Washington Post today: "Trump is going easy on Putin just as Russias advantage is getting weaker" 😂
    2
  5860. Oh boy, here comes more devastating Russian "shovels". How has Russia managed to beat back 31 countries using only shovels??
    2
  5861. Western Capitals are getting dangerously close to "Iraq Ministry of Information" levels of "narrative management" here. Just look at the map of Avdiivka today; the entire area to the west of it is now shaded red. Robotyne was completely rolled up yesterday with almost no resistance by AFU (because the troops there were moved to Avdiivka to help); Ohrekov is being evacuated. Kupiansk area holding for now, but even Ukraine says there are 50,000 RU troops there just waiting for the word; Kharkiv is also being evacuated. There is no "aid" that can reverse this momentum other than 100,000 fully trained troops; shells and ammo alone isn't going to do it.
    2
  5862. When did the US sign a defense treaty with Ukraine?????
    2
  5863. There is unity in beating NATO, thats for damn sure. I am certain Biden, Austin, Milley and Johnson are regretting not just negotiating this in September, 2021. Look at the global catastrophe that simply could have been avoided
    2
  5864. What "gains" has Ukraine made? Where? When?
    2
  5865. Russia is fighting the weapons of thirty (30!) plus different countries. Imagine the absolute treasure trove of operational, signal, and physical intelligence they are gathering! It isn't just the old cast-off NATO stuff they are fighting; it is very modern drones, JDAMs, Panzerfaust 3's, CAESAR artillery, etc. They are learning all the operational parameters, frequency ranges, capturing many wrecked or intact examples to study, etc. When this war is over Russia will have the world's greatest single source of combat intelligence for decades to come; they'll integrate this knowledge into their designs, sell it to China, Iran, and NK who will improve their weapons. The legacy of this stupid war will still be felt in 2073...
    2
  5866. Ukraine is stupid; they publicize their goals to impress the West into giving more, then Russia says "thanks" and promptly destroys the means of achieving those goals.
    2
  5867. Someone has to do something. Turkey is asking for UN authorization to put up a no-fly zone over Lebanon. That is a great idea because US wont stop Israel, and Israel can't stop itself....
    2
  5868. So it IS a US proxy war then? LOL.
    2
  5869. Western Propaganda to keep hopes up (and the taxpayer money flowing).
    2
  5870. Yes you are lying, Putin has no interest in you
    2
  5871. Binkovs Battlegrounds (utterly shameless NATO shill) today: "Why are Ukraine's defenses failing?" I answered, and got 4 angry replies before he gave up and deleted the comment. 🤣
    2
  5872. Why, other than to not have to pay artists, animators, sound engineers, and creative talent, do we "need" such capability? The computing industry has a long history of creating "solutions" to a problem even they themselves cannot define. Usually this just results in money wasted and worthless IPO stock, but with this, we can all easily spot the significant downsides. Why do it?
    2
  5873. So, your take is don't report the truth?
    2
  5874. I'm absolutely shocked that the entire first minute this guy actually told the pure, unadulterated truth!! No spin, no lies, no propaganda about who blew up the dam, just the hard truth that no one can attack through there for weeks or months. Because of this Russia can move forces (just as Ukraine did a few days ago) to Zaporizhzhia and Donetsk where the main battle is. Such a simple thing, the truth; sad that it has become so rare in Western Media we take note when it happens.
    2
  5875. Those people need to ban everyone and everything not from Moldova out of their country. The US, the UK, Russia, everybody.
    2
  5876. They are probing; once they know where they want the hammer to fall, everyone will know because it will rain artillery in every sector (to mask the exact spot) for hours or even days. I'd love to know how the guys who get the recon in force orders feel? "Go forward until the enemy shoots at you so the rest of us will know where they are." I'd ask such a person but never can because they are all dead...
    2
  5877. UK: "Dont intensify war" , just before the start of Russia huge summer offensive everyone knows is coming? LMAO these NATO games they play...
    2
  5878. Who is going to push 300,000 entrenched Russians out? Portugal??
    2
  5879. Russia will pay to rebuild only if they occupy the country. The idea you'll get them to pay if NATO is in charge is fantasy of the highest order. Good luck getting China, India, Pakistan and the BRICS to stop buying Russian oil and gas-----US already tried and all told America to "eff off".
    2
  5880. Russia already countered the Storm Shadow, and annihilated UK depleted uranium shells in a massive cataclysmic explosion. Russia is fighting 30 countries with combined GDP 20 times her size to a stalemate. Amazing....
    2
  5881. Trump and his incoming Admin. are said to be furious about this. Biden only had one purpose: kneecap Trump and make it more difficult for him to end the war and get that "W" early in his term.
    2
  5882. Zelensky cancelled all elections in his country....
    2
  5883. Russia dropped 50% of Ukraine's electrical power grid in one night. That is the Bear Unleashed.
    2
  5884. Meanwhile the Bilstein Damptronics in my 11 year old Jag still working perfectly at 95K miles. Never even a single warning that the self leveling can't be done in over a decade. Don't make 'em like they used to I guess...
    2
  5885. The world bully strikes again. Biden wouldn't try this with China or Russia; the only two powers on earth the bully respects...."
    2
  5886. At $60K how long to recover your added expense over the $28K Accord you could have bought???
    2
  5887. Biden and his neo con puppet masters Blinken and Nuland are going to the bitter end to avoid taking a "L" in Ukraine. They will be sending money to Kyiv up to and including the day the Russian steamroller flattens it
    2
  5888. If an alien civilization arrived today, one with absolutely no prior knowledge of us, and watched the leaders of US , Germany, France, China, and Russia speaking over the past few weeks, they'd choose to make First Contact with Vladimir Putin.
    2
  5889. I would love to read in future history books, just what it is that made Zelensky so certain the US and UK would arm him to whatever end. I know there are many in the US defense and political establishment who've been wanting to deliver some "payback" to Putin for numerous reasons, but Putin has aimed most of his tricks at the US---not sure where the UK enmity comes from.
    2
  5890. Outside of US/UK/French media, the world media calls this a waste of time----at best. Biden's failure is so complete, it is almost mercy that his mind has deteriorated so much he will never be aware of it; or live to see its echoes through history.
    2
  5891. West media propaganda showing us these losers. THREE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY TWO BILLION DOLLARS wasted on the same people who waved as the Wehrmacht drove by, and they STILL lost.
    2
  5892. Uh oh! Telegram is buzzing with rumor first Abrams bit the dust! We'll know for sure in a few hours!
    2
  5893. United States
    2
  5894. So much NATO cope and crying about everything that Russia does. I can't imagine the high the Russian people are on right now...
    2
  5895. Every day 100 D20 howitzers roll off the production line in the Urals
    2
  5896. So? US has had a Global Hawk flying over the Black Sea, giving Ukraine targeting intel for almost two years. All is fair in love and war...
    2
  5897. ...and to think none of this would have been necessary if Ukraine had just chosen to be a neutral non-aligned country like Sweden. They'd have been free to live as they please, and Russia no reason to find them an existential security risk because the United States would never be able to put Aegis Ashore missiles into Ukraine to threaten Russia (like they've done in Poland and Romania). So simple. So sad...
    2
  5898. Oooh! "1000 square kilometers".... that sounds like a lot!! Unfortunately Russia's landmass is over 17 MILLION square kilometers, so just getting enough to ever be logically considered "large part" would take Ukraine about 200 years. Ahh, its SKY news, who cares about logic!!!" 🤣🤣🤣
    2
  5899. RU took back 15% in one day-------NOT A WORD IN CNN/BBC/SKY .
    2
  5900. It is time for Americans against this war to speak up. It's not our war; a war of choice by Biden.
    2
  5901. Budanov just quoted saying AFU already out of reinforcements "...we have no troops to send..." he said.
    2
  5902. That is Iran's old stuff. Just like in Ukraine; everybody uses up their old stuff first once the war starts.
    2
  5903. Funded by whom?? EU going to seize Israel's assets to pay for it?
    2
  5904. What is this now, the 42nd or 43rd "game changer"? Every time i count them i come up with a different number
    2
  5905. Can't flank by sea, Ukraine has no Navy. Can't flank through Belarus as Lukashenko will fight. Have to go forward into the mouth of the Dragon.
    2
  5906. Did you see the AFU that raided P. Diddy's houses today??
    2
  5907. Dude, have you seen the news this week from the front? This war is already over; the only F-16 a Ukrainian pilot will ever fly in combat will be playing DCS.
    2
  5908. When is the WLM march?
    2
  5909. Its 2025 and a "new" T-80. I remember reading Tom Clancy books as a child in 1989 and trying to imagine what a "T-80" looked like. 🙂
    2
  5910. The true believers on CNN/BBC/DW/FRANCE24 are really having a tough time accepting reality today. On CNN YT channel anything saying "don't escalate" gets deleted, while any comment saying "lift all restrictions" gets hundreds of likes. It is really hard to believe most Americans want to attack Russia, but that's because it isn't really true. YT helping to shape public perception of opinion...."
    2
  5911. Everyone thinks carriers are now obsolete like battleships, but it takes a war to actually prove that. Until then, I'd keep building them.
    2
  5912. Absurd numbers and oops, red bands on Russian uniforms means Donetsk People's Republic (DPR). Meaning THE RUSSIANS are fighting for their lands and homes!! Burn like that don't happen every day for you, eh?
    2
  5913. Wars in Europe always spill over and cause wars somewhere else....always
    2
  5914. My goodness! The F-16 just got there and so far has only flown into the ground at Mach 2, and here the West already discussing the next "game-changer"?? The West don't want any "solution" to this war other than fire and blood...."
    2
  5915. The only car I think I've ever driven that had titanium connecting rods was a 1991 NSX that I owned from 2003 - 2007. Think about that-----Honda put that in a street car THIRTY years ago.
    2
  5916. Putin don't have to do anything at all except what he's been doing. Soldiers of the Ukraine 25th Airborne just surrendered en masse yesterday near Vodanyoye. Sen. Ron Johnson said the obvious yesterday and I'm sure MSNBC will now label him a "Russian agent".
    2
  5917. So when Democracy produces an undesired result, the "elites" try to find a way to prevent the Will of The People?
    2
  5918. Will RU keep moving west once each territory is liberated? Are they still planning on the "buffer zone"?
    2
  5919. Jaguar XJ has a tube inside the fill neck; just attach your pump hose there and suck all the oil out. Easy peasy and no chance of spilling oil on your $500 loafers. Crawling under and unscrewing a bolt is for poor people. :-)
    2
  5920. Knowing Biden isn't insane is comforting; not enough for me to vote for him...but comforting.
    2
  5921. It means by next year no countries will ban them. US has now contradicted itself on 30+ years of advocacy and leadership; tomorrow no one will listen to their words in this regard. When you stand for nothing, you fall for anything...
    2
  5922. You try to sound "balanced" but you minimize Russia's potential and maximize Ukraine's constantly. What is Ukraine doing in Kursk, other than slowly taking a beating? RU is making progress in Donetsk because that's the only place they are mounting a large offensive; they stopped at Chasiv Yar a month ago, and no one has done anything in Zaporizhzhia for months. There is no "equivalence" in air campaigns; RU has 100x the capability *today of Ukraine, and by relying on new Ukrainian "wunderwaffe" to try to equalize their potential only reveals your bias. Its OK to be biased, as long as you are up front about it. If your viewers want "balanced", go to Weeb Union who has an excellent 40 minute summary today specifically aimed at those who do not view him regularly. Ongoing, use Col. MacGregor or Col. Dan Davis , both men with actual military experience who regularly bring on other Americans with actual military experience to tell us what is really going on."
    2
  5923. "US top weapons exporter" Almost as if that were the plan all along...
    2
  5924. This is one man's opinion (propaganda actually). It has almost nothing to do with reality.
    2
  5925. An excellent toaster. You'll drive it ten years and forget it two days after you trade it or sell it.
    2
  5926. That image right there has been 100% America-only my entire life and I'm 48. I've never known a world in which "carrier strike group" was anything other than American. Well done, China.
    2
  5927. Wait wut!! How is Zelensky NOT a dictator???
    2
  5928. Yep, Orlan-30s with 300km range and 18 hour endurance already watching every highway, rail junction, fuel depot and HD-sized building along the Romanian and Polish borders. Remember the Challenger 2 and the depleted-uranium shells for them that UK so proudly announced last year? Ammo never used as Iskander wiped it out along with several Challengers way back last August.
    2
  5929. ...and Novorossiya as well!
    2
  5930. They'll be back in November....
    2
  5931. "Still"??? When could they ever have?
    2
  5932. at this point that would take a Star Destroyer
    2
  5933. So basically this was something that could have been resolved by the only people directly affected, but then NATO stuck its nose in an fucced everything up..."
    2
  5934. Biden War I
    2
  5935. I mostly enjoyed the video today from a Ukrainian soldiers' GoPro on top of his tank firing at the Russians; the crudely drawn Balkenkruez symbol clearly visible in the bottom of the frame. Are Ukrainian men that stupid and ignorant of history? If I were a Russian soldier and saw that symbol on a vehicle heading toward me, the ghost of my grandfather would enter my body and give me superhuman strength for 60 more seconds to make sure my Kornet blows that monstrosity straight to Hell before I die. I don't expect most Americans to know anything about history as they don't even know their own; however I expect far more from British citizens...
    2
  5936. Zelensky announced today mobilization of 200,000 more soldiers to replace losses and create an additional strategic reserve. The mayor of Kharkiv also increased the rate and size of mobilization for the city. Go ahead, I dare anyone to say it isn't true. The Battle of Kharkiv is going to look like Leningrad in 1944. Biden's War is headed for a truly historic end.
    2
  5937. Starmer didn't take long to wear out his welcome, but choosing foreigners over his own people...."
    2
  5938. Grand Wagoneer Series III is no slouch; definitely better than Navigator and possibly better than the mighty 'Slade.
    2
  5939. WTF is wrong with people keep asking this question?? FAB-500 falling 100 times a day all across the front for two weeks or more now. What, does Russia have to call you personally when every Su-34 takes off??
    2
  5940. ...but the soldiers from 20 different countries in Ukraine for three years fighting Russia wasn't also a "defining moment" ????
    2
  5941. Russia is about to tidy up this "play war" here very soon. Lavrov delivered the ultimatum to Biden/Zelensky: Capitulate or Ukraine Ends. Just go watch Lavrov speak from two days ago; does he even look at all like a man concerned about the outcome? While Zelensky looks haggard, disheveled, and like he hasn't slept in months. Savvy watchers have noticed diesel fuel is experiencing shortages in the Russian local market; what other explanation could there be for a country swimming in oil to have diesel shortages but that the Army is stockpiling it? North Korea will supply millions of shells. Fuel. Ammo. Secured. When it comes, and unless Biden capitulates, it will. It will look like something from white and black WW2 films....
    2
  5942. Wait Poland had no problem sending their sons into Ukraine for the past 18 months to help kill Russians, but now it's a problem?? Why do people always whine when consequences of their choices are laid at their feet??
    2
  5943. The fact Russia is basically fighting all of NATO by itself and not being annihilated is amazing.
    2
  5944. Why do all the aliens in the Galaxy only come to the United States?? Do we put travel brochures in galactic rest stops? Glossy ads in magazines in starliner backrests?
    2
  5945. Smart. If your enemy needs hard dry ground to attack, make the ground wet and muddy and he can't attack. Then just shell him from afar.
    2
  5946. around 2259....
    2
  5947. The finger pointing has begun; that's when you know its over and who the loser is.
    2
  5948. This is like a basketball game in 4th quarter and RU up 30 on Ukraine with 4 minutes left, and RU still got starters in taking 3-pointers....
    2
  5949. Same thing in the US. Endless waves of illegals and people seeking "asylum" because their husband back home threatened them. If anything will create a 21st century version of the Nazi Party, it won't be Jewish people, it will be illegal immigration.
    2
  5950. They don't "know" either, no one outside each country does.
    2
  5951. LOL, Swedes been trying to sell these things since the early 1990s. Finally found a desperate customer...
    2
  5952. That video is incredible. I've never seen a weapon like that and I'm 52. Today with cameras everywhere, the chance of catching something like this is many times higher than the 70s - 90s during peak of the Cold War. I first read about "rods from God" type weapon in 1984 when Reagan announced the "Star Wars" defense initiative. I just saw it this morning in 2024....
    2
  5953. Hahaha...."NATO" is nothing without the United States, and I can assure you, my sons aint coming to save Ukraine. Who here thinks Germany, Hungary, Slovakia, Belgium, Slovenia, and Spain are going to send their sons to fight Russia?? NATO will talk and send a few more billion Euros and some tanks, if that....
    2
  5954. Now we see where the money they saved by considering 470,000 soldiers "missing" and only 31,000 "KIA" (no benefits paid for missing), went to be used for. If they can afford new warships they don't need any more of our tax money
    2
  5955. He is smart; more offensive weapons will just continue with war with absolutely no change in the outcome. Who seriously thinks smashing that bridge is all Ukraine needs in order to win?? Not to mention the economic impact of Zelensky constantly begging for more $2M missiles when Germany has already lost 600 BILLION DOLLARS in its economy due to the war. Poland was right; Zelensky is a drowning man looking to take anyone around him down with himself.
    2
  5956. Ukraine and the Western media that carries water for them, are a complete and utter disgrace. It took weeks to admit they'd been beaten in Bakhmut, and again here they are trying desperately to make up for an embarrassing mistake. I've had it with all of them, Zelensky, Biden, the networks that constantly say "Ukraine is making progress" when the whole world can see them stuck in a little kill box for FOUR months only 6 miles from where they started. Sickening.
    2
  5957. He's on CNN too much. I see him more on this Biden Admin. Propaganda channel than on any other media outlet. I'm a Democrat and I don't like CNN----imagine what Republicans think of him being on here. Its the Kiss of Death.
    2
  5958. If CNN admitting AFU has lost a generation of men, morale is low, desertion is up, and they are losing, and that their "savior" are convicts with a month of training, I don't need any more proof this debacle is over..."
    2
  5959. LOL. Ukraine told you that? That is more troops than Russia has deployed in the whole war. Hahahahaha!
    2
  5960. Pray for Russia to destroy her enemies in this proxy war that could easily have been avoided in September, 2021.
    2
  5961. If I lived in California where I had to bend to the will of the liberal elites that know whats best for me, I'd take the $10K total rebates and accept my servitude in this EV. It is good looking, far better built than the abhorrent Model 3, and I'd be content. 7 seconds to 60 is fine for daily schlepping (and what 2.0T is narrator referring to that is about the same acceleration?? 3-series/A4/CLA 35/Giulia etc. all rip to 60 in 5.5 or less with their 2.0T motors). This will sell well in CA, in someplace like OK or MO they would be wasting their time shipping them there.

  5962. Hamas was never "winning", but they also don't appear to ever have been "losing" either...

  5964. doesn't change what happened, nor the outcome.

  5965. Even if you agree with Biden 100%, only the blind cannot see the man is a walking corpse
    2
  5966. At least you know some history, that history is WHY Hungary seeks a negotiated end; they know too well what a fully awake Bear can do.
    2
  5967. The longer this war goes on, the more and more its effects and after effects will spiral out of control. What was NATO leadership thinking a year ago?? That Russia would capitulate if you blew up a few of their tanks??? Russia absorbed TWENTY MILLION deaths in WW2 and didn't capitulate!!
    2
  5968. For months, even the US has been sending all kinds of signals that "OK, Putin you won"....of course not publicly. EVERYONE seems to get it except Zelensky. Those rumors we heard in November and December about him being "irrational" and unable to see reality. seems to have been 100% accurate. My guess is Zaluzhnyi runs against him in a few months, wins and the negotiations begin. That way he can go into exile without suffering the humiliation of having to treat with Putin, while the more pragmatic Zaluzhnyi can save the country.
    2
  5969. Experienced, but dead. Go ask them to fight for you again like the Men of the Mountan in "Lord of the Rings"

  5970. Wyte men always do the weird stuff.... Other flavors of men will still unalive a woman no doubt, but it's quick and clean. Wyte guys....they kind of enjoy it...."

  5971. Isn't this the place Ukraine can no longer get people to go because everyone knows its a one-way ticket? It has no military value, but Zelensky demanded it for political reasons?
    2
  5972. NATO weapons have been an unmitigated disaster. For how much they cost; they perform no better (and mostly far worse) than their Russian counterparts.
    2
  5973. Usual suspect in this type of crime.... These types can't be repaired; life in prison is the only way to be sure.

    2
  5975. Funny how none of these guys ever go fight for "Democracy" in Myanmar or Niger....
    2
  5976. Ukraine is now training 60,000 women in Zaporizhzhia for combat all along the front. They no longer even hide the fact they bombed this bridge (with civilians on it); meaning virtually anything that is "dual use" between civilian and military is now a legit target. Wars always reach the peak of their nastiness right before they end; in 1939 Hitler was content to just deport Jews, by 1945 he was cooking them like they were rump roasts. We are entering the "unrestricted monstrosity" phase of this war...
    2
  5977. "working" to accomplish what? A big final battle and when the smoke clears, lots of men and equipment on both sides destroyed and AFU with nothing left, while RU just moves Army Group North down to mop up??" Tactical surprise and a big mess; no strategy----just like the entire war..."
    2
  5978. There us only one reason. They are destroying NATO weapons wherever Ukraine stockpiles them.
    2
  5979. Heard today the Abrams timeline that Biden moved up last month, has been "delayed" several weeks. LOL. I'm sure the image of the Challenger 2 blasted and blazing from end to end had nothing at all to do with this decision. 😂
    2
  5980. This is never marketed much here; they sell a bunch over in Europe. However like all Euro brands, this is built to run safely at autobahn speeds so it will have a far better suspension setup than any American or Asian equivalent. This is meant to be the "E-Type" reincarnated as an SUV. It drives like a sports car so it compares to a Stelvio or Macan. A GV70 is more "Korean Buick" and will have nowhere near the dynamic capabilities.
    2
  5981. Yeah but a Model 3 is dog shyte inside... Most people want to sit in something nice at this price.
    2
  5982. Since June 5th, Ukraine has suffered 28,000 casualties, and that is coming from an array of military analysts and even the mainstream media who reported the 30% losses in Western equipment over same period. This is BEFORE the massive attacks of last week!! Even if you cut that number in HALF, that is an annualized casualty rate of over 85,000. That is almost the entire amount of soldiers Ukraine has deployed. The Telegraph had report two weeks ago that Ukraine's 48th Mountain was training 60,000 women for combat operations! A nation that is willing to throw its women, the only ones who can birth its future, into the meat grinder, is a nation that deserves to lose. This is insane. Armistice. Now.

  5984. Improved the looks though....
    2
  5985. "Regained"? There was no one on them. LMAO. Russian plane just going back to get some cluster bombs. These guys will soon be fish food just like 60 of their brothers last week.
    2
  5986. When has Putin not responded? He bombed Ukraine for a week in response to Kursk and knocked Sweden out of the war. Of course there will be a response to NATO missiles with 800 km range going into Russia. Lol
    2
  5987.  @thegreatdane3627  NATO is fighting Russia and Sweden is part of NATO, right? Your AWACS engineers were destroyed two weeks ago at the military academny, right? Your FM resigned, right? You got "knocked out of the war"....
    2
  5988. I did wonder why Russia immediately went to UN regarding this reprisal as you'd think they'd expect to be hit back after yesterday's apocalyptic air raid on Ukraine. Now I understand....just saw a report that Russia accuses Ukraine of using NATO weaponry (cluster shells) in this attack, which, of course, is a violation of agreement with NATO. Gonna get heated over the next few days!
    2
  5989. I hope they end the war, as enough have fallen on both sides for Victoria Nuland's world building plan. If not for her, and general EU/NATO interference they probably could have settled on something between themselves for those that wanted to move toward EU style living and those that wanted to stay with their traditions.
    2
  5990. at this point, such talk is in the QAnon and "Big Lie" realm....
    2
  5991. I've heard the horror stories of the CVT now for over five years. However, I did the research and the newer ones 2019 and later have many improvements and are no longer the nightmares they were before. A CVT is cheap and efficient; that is why they are used and at this price point you can't avoid them. I bought one for my 17 year old daughter and was blown away by the interior and trunk space; their packaging designers are masters. Comfy seats, advanced driver assistance tech, heated front seats, CarPlay, and the stereo sounds far better than it has any right to at $21K. Done.
    2
  5992. When NATO hires jihadis you know they are desperate
    2
  5993. Ukraine only gives CNN access to view apartment buildings that have been hit by shot down drones or fragments. Never, the arms depots, command centers, or bases that have been hit. LOL.
    2
  5994. Normally such a question would be highly insulting, but Trump kind of made his bed with this one...
    2
  5995. I don't know how people live in that State. You see neighborhood where the "ladies" are out in force and the house down the block is listed for $1.3M. It is like they don't use US currency, some other currency like pesos or something....
    2
  5996. CIA, Nuland and Budanov. No question about it; Nuland was dismissed a few weeks ago as her "grand plan" turned to ashes in front of her eyes and Biden no longer wanted the political dead weight. Her last words were "...we have a surprise for Putin."
    2
  5997. Belarus moving their AA batteries down to Kursk region, smart. Help their ally without doing anything to widen the war.... At least they still have sense, unlike NATO...."
    2
  5998. LOL. One Sarmat and this entire thing is over. Bear playing with its food for almost two years now....
    2
  5999.  @wongchai807  No, but at $120K yes, I would.
    2
  6000. Have the Samsung batteries caught fire yet?
    2
  6001. You don't have to have attended West Point to comment here, so I won't make fun of all the ignorant comments. Lesson #1: Ukraine cannot win a "logistics" war with Russia. Ukraine does not currently possess an "economy"; all of its public sector salaries and pensions are paid by NATO since the war started. 2000 miles away from the Front in the Urals, the war factories run night and day. Ukraine will starve 100 times over before a single Russian has to switch from steak to Ramen.
    2
  6002. Unbelievable. That call last week was Trump (and Musk) telling Zelensky his services are no longer required. Trump fired him and is in charge now...
    2
  6003. Who says Putin has to go along? He knows that AFU cannot stop Russia and he has all the time in the world.
    2
  6004. Biden's failure is so complete, it is almost mercy that his mind has deteriorated so much he will never be aware of it; or live to see its echoes through history.
    2
  6005. That US number of "about 500" came out on several Military Blogger channels about a month ago. Only the US knows for sure, but that number is consistent with what we heard a month ago.
    2
  6006. If this turns out to be a German Taurus missile (just publicly announced yesterday they are "approving" it for Ukraine----meaning they probably sent it weeks ago), then it would make sense. That missile has longer range than Storm Shadow and can hit Moscow. I shudder to think what the response will be if this is the case. Russia launches 100 missile barrages when drones the size of firecrackers hit Moscow. Something like a Taurus hits Moscow?? Military Bloggers (who are surprisingly accurate) say that Ukraine is under "Kinzhal watch" at this very moment as Mig-31s have been spotted taking off.
    2
  6007. Look at all those axes of advance.....you'd need the undead "Men of the Mountain" army to stop that..."
    2
  6008. Well if NATO goes into his territory that's a different story. As long as they stay in their lane, no Iskanders will fall on London, Paris, or Berlin
    2
  6009. What a horrible way to lose your Dad... We came this close to that movie "Civil War" becoming reality..."
    2
  6010. Why is the CIA flying Ukrainian soldiers to Sudan and supporting them as they attack and kill black men who never fought in Ukraine simply because they joined Wagner in their own country??
    2
  6011. So now BBC/CNN/SKY think convicts are a good idea, then? They have about 1000 articles from 18 months ago to go back and correct, and 1000 apologies to send to Prigozhin's ghost.
    2
  6012. So hes a Russian bot now, correct? 😂
    2
  6013. Autocracy is not ALWAYS bad. I have a Law Degree (Trump doesn't) , and I'm only 49 (half Biden's age). If America put me in charge, I'd do TEN TIMES better than either of them.
    2
  6014. ... about time. HE made the decision in 2022 to choose war. On him 100%
    2
  6015. I have zero enmity for Ukraine; most Americans could not find Ukraine on a map before 2014. I have enmity for Joe Biden and this disastrous attempt to "teach Russia a lesson" on the cheap using Ukrainian lives. I have enmity for Zelensky who went along with this once Austin/Milley/Nuland/Blinken convinced him they could give him enough weapons to beat Russia. Beat Russia. The country that defeated two of the largest armies in history in Napoleon and Hitler. I just feel sadness for all these Ukrainian guys being ground to dust under the Russian steamroller; the photos of women and children only being allowed to leave Kupiansk, and all these grandpas in the Territorial Defense Units, trying to stop Storm-Z troops half their age. That Zelensky-----I hope he gets his just rewards Mussolini style by his own people's hands.
    2
  6016. My guess is trolling by RU, because they know something like that will be howled about on CNN/BBC/FRANCE24 tomorrow while they shudder with laughter. All those vids of "NK troops" over the weekend now proven to be the usual Budanov lies so if/when the NK's do come, no one knows for sure what manner it will take.
    2
  6017. Imagine being one of those elite AFU. "None of us are coming back alive but we will be on CNN and BBC for a week!" 😂
    2
  6018. Wagners are prohibited by Russian law from doing anything in Russia other than training. They cannot maintain a private armed force with heavy weapons on Russian land. They made no secret they've been in Belarus a year now training Belorussian Forces, and everyone is aware of their presence in some African countries. They only clarifying this because Napolensky is scared and begging NATO to help scare away the wolf at his door......"

  6019. Russian washing machine superiority

  6020. Puts a 'Slade on a test track, LOL. Mat you don't have the infrastructure in the UK to properly test a vehicle like this. You need to hook up a cabin cruiser, drive 800 km to a lake with your wife and three kids, spend the weekend there, then drive it back. THEN you will know what it was designed for. :-)
    2
  6021. At least now the exploiter will look like them...
    2
  6022. They are Hyundai's and Kia's underneath, so of course the engines are just as likely to be recalled/replaced for fires, failed connecting rods, etc. These things are OK if you are coming out of a Hyundai or Kia or similar, and you are only leasing it. However, if you really want a BMW, just go lease a BMW. The idea this is equivalent to the Euros is fantasy. If leasing is against your religion and you must buy, forget all others and buy Lexus like most sane people do.
    2
  6023. This is the issue I just don't understand how Harris voters can gloss over. Is it because most voters just don't realize what is going on with the Ukraine war? (I'll be honest, in almost three years I've never met a person casually that even really seems to care about the Ukraine war). Even if you agree with Harris' other policy positions, how can you want the US Military---our sons and daughters----to be sent to the trenches of Ukraine to fight the Russian Army?? That is not hyperbole: the Helsinki Commission, the ISW, and other Western outlets all agree the only way for Ukraine's depleted army to "win" anything is for the US to deploy to Ukraine and halt or defeat Russia for them. WHO THE FUCC WANTS THAT???

  6024. So many buildings intact, unlike Gaza. Why Putin go so easy on Ukraine??"

    2
  6026. So the biggest Western Media lie of the war has been laid to rest? Bakhmut is the Key to all of West Ukraine; whoever controls it controls the region. It's why Russia fought so hard for it, and why now Ukraine is doing the same to get it back.
    2
  6027.  @AndyM_323YYY  COPIUM!! 🙂

  6028. A lot can happen in four months; people are lukewarm to Harris because nobody knows what she stands for. Trump has no idea what her potential strength is; nobody knows.... One thing life has taught me: never count your chickens before they hatch..."
    2
  6029. What will Ukraine send in response to the nuclear missile?
    2
  6030. What choice do they have? RU has taken back almost all the Territories, Zelensky has no men to stop them, no time to train 18 year olds. If he doesn't give up, RU just spends next two years taking everything else. What is the point?
    2
  6031. This is not what all the neutral military bloggers report today.
    2
  6032. All three have been mauled by the Bear before; that's why they are ganging up
    2
  6033. They were helping the US choose storm shadow targets...."
    2
  6034. SKY pushing the "sea drone" narrative because before the war, the UK was pretty much the world leader in sea-based drone tech, even more than the United States. BAE is among the leaders and with the Royal Navy a willing partner in development, is far along with this application of remote control (and eventually AI-controlled) seaborne offensive vehicles. Ukraine got all this tech from UK and US and is bascially acting as a development partner and real-world tester. Brits I've noticed are far more immune to jingoistic propaganda than Americans, owing to the fact Brits were "rulers of the planet" for far longer; giving them much more ability to be circumspect. This is just your MIC and tax dollars at work...no Ukrainian "magic" or alien technology. 😂😂😂
    2
  6035. You can tell he is not quite as cocky as in the video from a week ago; at certain angles he is minimizing his profile----acknowledging the risk of being directly observed or identified. He looks serious now; no joking. He always respects Ukrainian fighters; you notice he never belittles them or calls them demeaning names---and when he collects their bodies he acknowledges their bravery in fighting for their country. If Russia wins this war, Wagner PMC will have security contracts among all the Nations allied with "BRICS" for the next decade or more.
    2
  6036. It isn't the "gun" itself. It is the latent Scotch-Irish in us just making itself known for the 784th time. The Scotch-Irish, among the most belligerent, quick-to-offend, quick-to-anger cultures in human history, populated the Southern US via Jamestown. These closely related peoples were from the borderlands of northern England, southern Scotland, and the north of Ireland. They came in huge numbers and once in America, they formed a more-or-less cohesive unit, if that can be said of a people who nurtured a proud and sometimes argumentative spirit, and a disdain for authority. This is all confirmed history and none of it is in dispute. In America, they eventually dropped their swords and daggers and began using the gun; the result was the same: someone offended, blood spilled, and another planning revenge. This culture was imbued into the Slaves as it was the Scotch-Irish who were the most in contact with newly arrived Africans. The culture remains strong in the US population today among the descendants of these people as well as taking root in many subsequently arrived peoples. It is in us----ALL of us.
    2
  6037. Because they are using them in defensive roles; and they won't ever be alone...a T-80BV or T-90 will always be around to drill the Leopard/Challenger. A 100mm gun is a 100mm gun. It can one-shot anything other than a tank and if the Leopard or Challenger shows its rear or side, it can knock them out too. The tanks are old, but since they won't be moving, they are now a stable platform and become very accurate; a Bradley's autocannon will bounce off a T-55 or T-64, while that 100mm shell will blow a Bradley to bits so small you won't know it was ever a Bradley. They've even put multi-barreled autocannon on many of the old chassis, turning them into anti-drone/anti-personnel IFVs. They'll be in berms with only the turret visible making them vulnerable only to direct hits by artillery or drones. They make excellent mobile artillery, and this only extends Russia's massive advantage in artillery.
    2
  6038. It doesn't look good for Ukraine. No one actually knows what was on the plane as everyone is dead, but Ukraine has admitted it fired on it. The missile was either Patriot or IRIS-T, Russia has lodged a formal complaint to US and Germany that Ukraine is using their weapon to attack INSIDE Russia, which is a violation of the terms Ukraine got the weapons. So, basically Ukraine either effed up slightly, or really REALLY effed up.

  6039. Then two days later Biden blows it all up....

  6040. I think Nissan / Infiniti has already turned the corner, but like steering the Titanic it takes time for the bow to move. Their new stuff uses ZF transmissions which means they just went from the worst transmissions in the world to the best. The VQ engines, among the most reliable on earth, are still in the mix, and I hear the VC turbo fours are at least as good as Hondas or Toyotas. I just hope they can turn before they hit the "iceberg", as I switched to Infiniti after I got tired of my BMWs burning oil at 60K miles....
    2
  6041. Zelensky and Budanov gloat over sending "anti Putin Russians" to attack Belgorod, now whine and cry when the Empire Strikes Back.

  6044. Democrats have become the Party of Death. Biden, Blinken, Nuland and now Harris all the same. Wherever they go, they bring only suffering along with them. They are the Four Horsemen in a literal sense as none of them, not one time ever speaks of diplomacy or compromise; only the complete destruction of their enemies....
    2
  6045. NATO: "Just more people we will have to kill"
    2
  6046. LOL, that was around the same time the US asked South America to send their older, Soviet era, weapons to Ukraine and the US would replace them one for one with new ones. ALL of South America told Biden "No!".

  6049. A year ago, CNN was 90% comments from people believing everything Biden Administration and UK says about Russia. Those of us who knew better would just shake our heads.... Well those days are over, 90% of comments now ridicule the CNN lies from the Dem Party Line.

  6055. Germany confirms Budanov is in a coma. So he really was Kinzhal'ed on the 29th just like Russian MoD said he was. Meaning the stories about the Patriot battery firing all 32 of its $4M missiles at the Kinzhal and missing, must also be true. When the Russian MoD is more believable than the Biden Administration and its mouthpiece CNN, you know America's Fall is complete.

  6056. Whoa. First news article on YT about Ukraine in 2 or 3 weeks; thought the west media had written Ukraine off. Zelensky appears to have confused the Battle of Kursk with the Battle of the Bulge.....he is comedian not a historian after all...."
    2
  6057. So if this is a race to see who can take their enemies' territory first, Ukraine was foolish to enter such a race. Even at their "surprise invasion" pace of 1100 km2 in 3 days, it would take them about 5.7 million days to conquer all of Russia. While Russia, moving slower through fortified territory would take about 4,000 days to conquer all of Ukraine. Tortoise and the Hare indeed..."

  6058. Another missile barrage on Odessa last night, and the 100,000 man, 900 tank super army near Lyman has begun to move out. The kill stroke has begun....

  6063. At least Putin can remember who he's at war with! 😂

  6064. My first car was a 1984 Supra manual that I got in 1988 at age 18. It was, technically speaking, a decade ahead of a Mustang GT of the same year. All Mustang (and Camaro) had was the glorious V8; everything else was 4th Century BCE tech compared to the Supra. Today, the Supra is technically outclassed by the Mustang. Wow.
    2
  6065. Yeah whatever. This is almost 24 hours old and that line hasn't "buckled" at all, and it never will as long as Ukraine is using only infantry to assault it. They can't send vehicles because Russia blow every single one of them to bits.

  6066. RU captured a Bradley and they admit that, once it has the armor upgrade, it has good protection for its role.

  6068. 110 years ago, Titanic was only 52,000 tons, while this monster is over 248,000 tons!! Imagine what we'll be cruising on in 2124....it'll be a 750,000 ton ship so big, the earth's gravity will be affected everywhere it goes. It will probably be sail-powered too.
    2
  6069. 2017 CST-V with this same engine are $75K----not bad for $86K when new; that is almost 911-level value retention.

  6070. "We don't seek conflict.." Inserting yourself into the conflicts of others on one side is "seeking conflict".
    2
  6071. How can we donate money to Russia? I don't respect the foreign policy of my government
    2
  6072. YT let me post on other articles but I paste the same comment here and its deleted. 😂 OK, I see. "Yes, everything is going well and the AFU force should reach Antwerp by Monday and they will get much more favorable terms in the negotiations!!" I bet YT will let that one stand....." 🤣🤣🤣
    2
  6073. No UN pressure on US to stop fueling an unwinnable war???
    2
  6074. "It's Russia. Only Russia." Good luck NATO. Go ahead and go in there and destroy all those people's homes, and wipe out their families and install the ultra-nationalist Zelensky to Lord over them. Knock yourselves out. It'll only take ten years of brutal warfare, dozens of cities in flames, an army of at least three million men, 20 million dead, and probably $5T to start. That doesn't even cover the rebuilding after the Apocalyptic War (assuming Russia doesn't nuke half the world). Be my guest; me and mine will NEVER in a thousand years be part of it, and I'll vote out ANYONE who dares to send the US along that path.
    2
  6075. The propaganda BS is flying but what I do know is Zelensky and NATO are as scared as I've seen them since March, 2022. I said four days ago Biden Administration response shows they didn't plan for this and are not really sure what to do.
    2
  6076. I have an A4, which is magnificent but I'll admit kind of boring. I was in the dealer getting the 40K mile service back in December, and they had the showroom filled with white models of almost everything in the Audi lineup---the "Winter Event"---lol. Of course I drooled at the monstrous RS7 and RS6, but I'll be honest, it was the S3 that I actually wished I could take with me and leave my A4. It looks every bit the "German muscle car" that its big brothers do, but it gets good mpgs, the EA888 motor is actually reliable, and I can actually afford it. I personally think the current gen Audis are some of the best they've ever made; in the future we'll wish for the ones from about the last 7 years up to now.

  6077. Her face is gaunt; she looks like a 12 year old boy. She didn't look like this before so it makes sense people wonder if she's ok. Its not "shaming"----stupid woke word....
    2
  6078. Terrible insult to the memory of this day for him to politicize it. On D-Day the US/UK didn't have to fight four million German, Italian, and Hungarian soldiers in France because Russia had already destroyed them in Russia. If Bidumb knew anything about history he'd be thanking Russia...
    2
  6079. DW reported Germany is pressing Zelensky to negotiate; we know the US was doing so a few weeks ago. When 2 of your 3 main sponsors are telling you "time to talk"; its only a matter of time. I'm feeling the recent accelerated pace of Russian movement since Thanksgiving is them going for as much territory as possible as they know an armistice may be near and they can use that territory to bargain with.
    2
  6080. He did the honorable thing (after much prodding); don't let your ego stand in the way of objective reality. Now, for Zelensky to come to the same realization..."

  6081. "Ukraine denies".... After the POW plane embarrassment, Ukraine MoD is on the level of Iraq Ministry of Information, 1991.
    2
  6082. Putin again (for 6th time in 2024) restated terms today. This can stop anytime Ukraine has had enough, just have to give up NATO to do it. Terms of the 2022 treaty allowed China (and even France!) to provide Ukraine's security; just not US or UK. Imagine that, no more war, may even get some territory back, Ukrainians can have EU economic connections, just no NATO and no US or UK involvement ever in military matters. Chinese and French military support and equipment only, and no offensive weapons. 2022 deal was pretty good in 2022; in 2024 its like a glimpse of Heaven...."
    2
  6083. A lie. They were getting 30K a month joining due to the money, then after Crocus it jumped to 33K a month; after this who knows. They'll probably be getting 40K a month after this...."

  6084. To Russia they are "liberated". To Ukraine they are "occupied" Who determines which is "right"?

  6090. By May 9th, there will be more NATO armored vehicles in Moscow than in Ukraine.
    2
  6091. Why Serbia want to be in NATO anyway? NATO bombed them 25 years ago...."
    2
  6092. Only $12B of the aid is actually weapons and ammo (a Patriot system alone is $2B). It isn't enough to do anything other than keep them from collapsing a few more months. NO ONE in the US has said otherwise, not even Biden so I don't even know where all these "can it change anything" articles are coming from.
    2
  6093. "6 or 7 months" means "6 or 7 weeks". Even Zelensky isn't stupid enough to tell his enemy exactly what his timelines are.
    2
  6094. I've had two BMW's previously and I've tried, I really have tried to get over that pig nose and I can't. I just can't. I look at my Giulia Quad and it is so beautiful from every angle I would curse every morning I looked in my garage if I swapped it out for an M4-----even with the God-given manual that I can't get on the Giulia. This Comp is auto only and its ugly too? Forget it man.
    2
  6095. I'd rather the Haitians come in because at least we all know their country is truly destroyed (and France / US mostly the ones that ruined it). All these South Americans coming from functioning countries claiming "asylum" is BS.

  6096. "Former HUD Secretary Dr. Ben Carson speaks at the Faith & Freedom Coalition’s God & Country Breakfast in Milwaukee, Wisconsin." ????

  6097. I have to get used to these post-COVID numbers. $45K could have got you an F-150 XLT in 2020.
    2
  6098. US and especially UK have really stepped up their "assistance" , they are not even trying to hide their intelligence and targeting data being sent directly to AFU. Russians overheard crew of Krab artillery speaking in Polish. NATO is at war with Russia, and it doesn't seem there are any limits other than "none of our help can be used to attack Moscow". That is all that stands between the current situation and we all die in thermonuclear fire.
    2
  6099. Without Zelensky, Zaluzhny, Budanov, etc. and the other high-ranking nationalists?
    2
  6100. Next to be given will be a Ford-class supercarrier. US Navy already is training Ukrainians on how to tie a square knot...
    2
  6101. They don't have to interfere; Trump gonna win. The annexed areas are in year three of being "Novorossiya" (New Russia), so yes, American tanks are technically inside Russia. Mostly on fire though...
    2
  6102. I can't wait to come to this channel once the Armistice is signed. The Telegraph: "EU ministers consider saving 60% of their investment in Ukraine to be a success. 'We still have the LNG storage facilities, and we only lost about 30% of the farmland we signed long-term leases for.' We consider that a fair mitigation of our losses. 1,000,000 thanks to the people of Ukraine!"
    2
  6103. What a story. It has happened so many times now in the past two years that it simply cannot be objectively denied. Putin always pays his debts....and promptly. Used Zelensky to locate the forces responsible for the ship attacks. Wow.
    2
  6104. Two years ago I hoped this would only last a few months. Then, after the inevitable counteroffensive failed, I thought NATO would negotiate a settlement. I was wrong both times. Every "limit" in place in 2022 has now fallen by the wayside. I'm ready for whatever now. Cry havoc!, and let slip the dogs of war....
    2
  6105. Yeah right 15 Kinzhals shot down. This isn't a "war" for Russia; they still treat it like a "special military operation". War means Kyiv would have looked like Bakhmut by now...
    2
  6106. All the Western media today have stories about Ukraine "advances" and "breakthrough" but they are talking heads using military terms with no understanding of what they mean.
    2
  6107. The older she gets, the less she looks like a "she"

  6108. Russians at the line of contact will be like "let them pass, our T-54s are bored and need something to do"

  6109. How can Ukraine destroy the power grid of the largest country by landmass on earth? I mean I know you have no idea what you're saying, but humor me.
    2
  6110. This guy is gambling with the lives of 500 Million people. He believes Russia will sit back and watch NATO crush it by conventional means and turn Russia into a Slave State. Will the average Russian choose to die on his feet or live on his knees?? I don't know, and neither does this general and I don't think we all need to find out.
    2
  6111. Wagner videos all over the net showing them driving American M113s, French armored cars, holding Javelin and Milan missiles, etc. captured from retreating AFU units. According to SKY and CNN this is all part of the Ukraine plan to surround the Russians at Artemovsk. 🙂
    2
  6112. IDF says "sorry about that"
    2
  6113. Green Poles who never fired at anything that fires back vs. battle-hardened Wagners and Storm-Z units that took a city of 70,000 from NATO by force. Ummm, okay....yeah...good luck with that...
    2
  6114. Russia is an amazingly different place; few Westerners can understand as they'd have to live there to "get it". Russia stores 70 year old tanks "just in case" while also having several hypersonic missile platforms when the US does not have even one operational hypersonic missile. One leg in the future, one leg in the past....that is Russia.
    2
  6115.  @cartofulfierbinte  That is exactly the logic US used in Cuban Missile Crisis to threaten nuclear war if the Russians didn't back down. They did. Why won't NATO?
    2
  6116. If you want an FCA product like a Dodge or Jeep you can get it for invoice now... BTW who abused that Range Rover at the 7:05 mark?? Hahaha, I'd buy that, have it re-painted, and probably be able to sell it for $10K more than I put in! 🙂
    2
  6117. Russia would have to be beaten into surrender for there ever to be a Ukraine in NATO. This is not even remotely possible with Ukraine alone fighting, so it means NATOs dream requires WW3.
    2
  6118.  @caryandgrace  They would LOVE to do that but the chip shortage is keeping an artificial lid on output. What Diamler, VW, Ford, BMW, GM, Stellantis have discovered is making fewer more expensive cars is more profitable (by far) than making more lower priced cars. I don't know if this will last once the chip shortage ends, but I've read public statements by CEOs that they do not plan to go back to over supply.
    2
  6119. FINALLY!! I've been saying for months that Putin is crazy to allow Reapers and Global Hawks to just fly around and Russia does nothing. Everyone knows they are collecting and sending targeting data to Ukraine.
    2
  6120. Germany announced $1B in aid, specifically several new IRIS-T anti-aircraft systems. Five days later a huge Russian drone attack with very cheap Geran drones. Now, Russia knows exactly where all these new IRIS-T systems are, and in the next few days Kinzhal will remove them from service.
    2
  6121. Man thats crazy. Look at all that money and my daughter gets into a college charging $80K a year and she can't go because the grants and scholarships only covered $40K of it. Had we not blown so many trillions over the decades in the MIC we'd have enough so my kid could have had all of it covered...."

  6122. That's right Russia! Stomp a hole in NATO azz!
    2
  6123. Western Media all agree to talk only about Nalvany today.
    2
  6124. The US was never on the side of righteousness in this war; no matter the amount of lofty words and spin. Our hands were "dirty" from the inception in 2014. That is why we fail...
    2
  6125. If you look at the map of Zaporizhzhia on June 10th and the map today, it is exactly the same. NO progress---not "slow" , NONE. North and South of Bakhmut, Ukraine has pushed into salients, but these are hardly "gains" in the military sense. It is territory they can't hold other than with dug-in infantry, and anyone in it has Russian artillery falling on them constantly. That's it. That's the whole "counter offensive" after five weeks.
    2
  6126. Pray for Trump to win. It is the only way you and your family will live to see 2026..."
    2
  6127. Green troops with no experience and four months of NATO training did exactly what any troops would do when they came under fire the first time----panic. What is even crazier is because CNN/BBC edits out the dead Ukrainian soldiers all around in the original video, most Westerners think no Ukrainians were killed since they don't see any bodies.
    2
  6128. Zelensky asked NATO to train their 150K conscripts in Ukraine to "speed things up" (really, so they don't run away if they get sent to Poland or Germany). I heard Biden already said "no"; because the logistics to train 150K soldiers can't be hidden. Russia would be dropping Iskanders on bases, supply depots, rail yards, anything and everything and they wouldn't care whose army it was from. US would absolutely start taking casualties and there would be no way to hide it. Biden also suggested to all NATO countries not to do so either. That is why Zelensky sounds so frustrated today
    2
  6129. ...and when we get to the point Russia reacts, will this man and his family suffer the same fate as the rest of us?? From now on, I don't want to hear any more Westerner demanding further brinkmanship with Russia unless THEY or their FAMILY are in the active duty military...."

  6130. I'd jump on a manual GT at 15% off MSRP. I don't like the screens that much, but they are not a deal breaker for me.
    2
  6131. Zaluzhny this morning called Robotyne the "Batlle of Kursk 2023". Amazing, I've been calling it Kursk 1943 for months now and most disagreed with me. Zaluzhny is correct, but he has forgotten one thing. HE is the German Army, and the Russians are---welll---the Red Army. (For the 99% of Americans who have no idea what I am talking about----Germany lost the battle of Kursk). This morning video from Russian night-vision drones showed dozens, over 80 at one point, Ukrainian armored vehicles streaming toward Robotyne. Bloggers say Russia has been firing for 24 hours straight on the area north of Robotyne where Ukraine is massing its NATO-trained Army. There is no subtlety; they are simply collecting themselves into a giant Armored Fist with the sole purpose of smashing through the Russian defense lines no matter the cost. The slaughter over the next few days will be WW1 in scale. Fitting for Biden's War since he is about a century old anyway...
    2
  6132. Give me the worst one new and I bet it runs flawlessly for 7 years and 100K miles for me. 😅 I seem to specialize in making "unreliable" cars reliable. 2012 Buick Enclave with the 3.6: 155K miles, only water pump, alternator, AC compressor replaced. 2011 Jag XJ Supercharged: 107K miles, water pump, engine fan replaced. 2017 Alfa Giulia Ti: 85K miles, AC compressor replaced. Just got 2022 Audi A4 last year: 29K miles under warranty. 😂

  6134. Other bloggers say that is the Lancet's new warhead specifically designed to defeat heavy armor. That jet is the tungsten dart being driven into the tank creating a cloud of plasma (and turning everything and everyone inside into slag instantaneously).
    2
  6135. Iskander in English is "Alexander" as in the Greek conqueror. The name means "Protector of Men", so when Russia puts an Iskander down the throat of Ukraine they are protecting themselves. 😂😂😂

  6136. NATO spent a year and billions trying to topple Russia but they themselves are being toppled by their own citizens

  6137. I really like that new grille and I HATE the Toyota/Lexus "Cylon face" style they've had the past few years.
    2
  6138. Forbes has an article up today "confirming" that Russia used what they call an "Iskander clone" to blow up two AFU supply bases (doing significant logistical damage). You were 100% correct (again). No one really knows if they were actually NK rockets (US could just be saying that for political reasons), but there is no doubt that the air raids last week did MAJOR damage to Ukraine and the US putting Adm. Kirby up there a couple days later is proof that the impact went all the way to the top of the Biden Administration. The Democrats will try to use this to push the Republicans to get that aid (without having to give on the border). The narrative will be" "look, now NK is helping RU gang up on Ukraine!" Keep it up my friend; keep speaking Truth.
    2
  6139. Congressional Authorization?? None that we know of; Biden is acting illegally

  6140. I wrote "Russian Rambo" and YT deleted it. Western Media censors anything that shows Russia favorably! It is so pathetic...""
    2
  6141. Russia has shown the world that NATO is weaker than everyone thought. Now, Hamas has shown the world Israel is weaker than everyone thought. Both pillars of the "Judeo-Christian World Order" now cracking like the ones in the Temple of Dagon. Only a matter of time before it falls....

    2
  6144. Volker at least seems more aware of what Russia is than anyone currently in the Biden Administration. "Strongman-ism" is the norm in Russia since 1989; it may have been even during the USSR but so little information came out of Russia it is hard to know for sure. Few Americans under age 40 realize just how mysterious the USSR was---in the 1980s TV commercials made jokes about Russian women all looking like 200 lb. linebackers. In modern Russia the powerful work together when it benefits them, renegotiate when it doesn't. Prigozhin was renegotiating his relationship; its possible he overestimated his power but the fact he did it surprises no one in Russia. Only the West is surprised; it has been over 100 years now since Russia was last "European"---none alive remember what it was at the time of the Czars.

    2
  6149.  @CodeLife_12  YOU may not care, but the "annexed areas" are called "Novorossiya" (New Russia) by the people that live there. To them, Ukraine is being ejected from the last 10% of their country.
    2
  6150. What precipitated the attack? Why was this group chosen?
    2
  6151. Sending more is exactly what Russia wants; they'll let them go in, but they'll never come back out again.
    2
  6152. In 1943, the Germans had two million soldiers poised to take Kursk, along with them were the 800,000-strong Italian 8th Army, and 225,000-strong Hungarian 1st Army. In total, THREE MILLION men intent on taking Kursk. When the smoke cleared, the Italians and Hungarians were decimated so severely, only 10 percent of the men they sent to Russia returned to their homelands. The Germans were mauled badly, but the bulk of their force survived to make a retreat that didn't stop until the Battle of Berlin. People never listen to historians until its too late. They say "it will be different this time", and it almost never is...."

  6153. A $120K video game. Who wants that? An A35 AMG is several orders of magnitude more of a joy to drive than this digital pod. This is something the machines in "The Matrix" would drive; no emotion.
    2
  6154. At $40K this is an ok value. Any more is a waste of money. Like all H/K/G products the pretty stuff will fade, peel, and crack withing 20K miles and you'll soon realize that yep!, you bought the cheap one. As long as you don't overpay that is fine as you can drive this thing and beat it to death and just junk it in 5 or 6 years when there is no value left in it.
    2
  6155. Congressional Authorization???
    2
  6156. 8 years have to pass before a car can really be judged "reliable" or not. Few Hyundai/Kia products make it to 8 years or beyond and those that do had an engine swap under warranty.

    2
  6158. What the ** does Biden think he is doing?? We all gonna die for Ukraine? A country that could have kept 80% of its territory (and 100K of its sons would still be alive) if Biden had responded to Russia's negotiated settlement offer in September, 2021?
    2
  6159. Can someone please explain to me why the top officers of AFU suck so bad? They are the worst military officers I've ever seen in my life. They make being encircled and destroyed seem almost like part of their battle plan. I don't want to hear about "political" angles or "symbolic" holdouts; losing a city but saving your army is what 3000 years of military history teaches a commander is FAR more preferable to losing a city while your army is annihilated at the same time.
    2
  6160. I just looked at the map. This means the entire Black Sea Fleet is now at risk of being destroyed at anchor. There are three new Admiral Grigorovich-class frigates there, not to mention submarines, landing ships, minesweepers, oilers, etc. An air base with Su-30SMs, attack helicopters, etc. It is basically a Russian "Pearl Harbor" for the Black Sea. UK just turned the whole place into a target... Things just changed.
    2
  6161. This guy's face may be new, but everyone has long known Wagner is now a training company only; private armies were outlawed in Russia last year after the Prigozhin Debacle. We've long known they are recruiting new members in Niger (and probably Burkina Faso) among others, and their training of Belorussian Special Forces is well documented. ALL of the former "Wagners" from the Prigozhin Era either signed a contract with Russian Army in newly-formed "Storm-Z" units or stayed with the company as trainers.
    2
  6162. OMG....serously? He's a Democrat. Probably paid by Ukraine secret service and Vicky Nuland signed the check!"
    2
  6163. I give Biden credit for being true to his word; he isn't backing down from his strategy of "free weapons to anyone willing to fight our enemies for us". Yesterday, he announced $345M in free weapons to Taiwan. That seems to be the key to getting unlimited money out of the Dem Party; be willing to fight someone on the US' behalf.
    2
  6164. I just can't even laugh anymore it is so pathetic. How many times the past two months CNN run these vids from Ukrainian MoD showing troops "liberating" a town/hamlet/farm where only rabbits have lived the past 18 months?? Go back and watch some from June or July, note the names, then look up who controls those places today. This is sad; CNN doesn't tell you the evacuation order from Kupyansk was women and children only, 11,000 of them from 30 towns sent away. Not the men though, the men (age 16+) were not allowed to leave as the trenches have to be filled so the Russian steamroller has something to crush. CNN never tells you that...
    2
  6165. The general is right; this attack was nothing new----they've been doing the same for over a month all over the place. THIS TIME, a drone got through, so its stupid to say "they escalated"; they've been at this level all along.
    2
  6166. Can't be coincidence all these fires just popping up in places miles apart

  6167. The US knocked down 90% of the barrage. Imagine what will happen if you hit Iran again, and this time the US/UK opt out of protecting you Mr. Israeli General??

Even on the ICE side, none of the "major brand" mid-sized SUVs really beat one another at any one thing; they are all virtually interchangeable; price is mostly why you grab a Highlander over a Passport or Pathfinder. I don't really see a huge difference here either; the competition mentioned don't really blow this away to a significant degree overall; each has its relative strengths and weaknesses. One thing this does have is a superior interior to all the competitors mentioned. For some, that may be enough to go with it. It is competitive; in this market that is all you need to be to move metal.

  6171. Russia has over 40 refineries producing about 12% of world oil output. It would take Ukraine until 2257 to "affect" Russia enough that a tank in Chasiv Yar runs out of fuel...
    2
  6172. These guys owe the US alone $100B and it's not even a sure thing they'll ever be able to pay it back, yet they are starting to talk isht to people who didn't support them? Go Russia!

  6173. Keep fighting boys! Only one more year until we vote Biden out and the gravy train ends!

  6174. Thanks GOP for ensuring we will have an effective defense should King George and his Redcoats return! Meanwhile, we can't go four hours without a mass murder in this sick joke of a country...

  6175. They better hurry, the French have only been in Ukraine for a week and they've taken their second Iskander strike already..."

  6176. Literally NO military people do; virtually all say it was a disaster. These two should stick to spying...."

  6177. My god this guy. "Russia destroys 30% of NATO equipment since June" and he demands to see the "significant gains".

  6179. Whether you are one, a few, or a nation of millions. Never poke the Bear...
    2
  6180. Outnumbered 10 to 1 in troops at some areas of the front. Two brigades at Chasiv Yar surrendered and quit. Zelensky biggest problem is not shells and ammo, its soldiers
    2
  6181. Ugghhh, my kid is on Spring Break with her friends right now....I shouldn't have clicked this story. Every parent's NIGHTMARE.
    2
  6182. Biden should have talked 16 months ago. The drones and missiles shattering Ukraine have hardly ebbed the past four days; every few hundred meters of farmland Ukraine takes they pay for it in hundreds of casualties and the Kamov's decimate their vehicles whenever they dare to use them. Ukraine mobilized (again) last week, but unless they plan to resurrect their dead; I don't see how they could hope to crack the fortress Zaporizhzhia. This thing is spiraling into paths no one could have foreseen; time to end it before the Holocaust really starts.

  6183. 30 vs 1 and the 1 wins? Emboldened wouldn't begin to cut it; I'd feel like I had a 15 inch monster (0(|< .....😂😂"

  6184. Funny how these "partisans" happen to show up two days AFTER the Fall of Artemovsk. CIA hoodlums, nothing more. Most are dead already anyway.... Next.

  6185. That S-300 is for any US Global Hawk, Predator or Reaper drones that come spying or threatening uninvited in the skies of Niger.

  6186. War has been boring since Wagner took Bakhmut from NATO. That battle will have its own chapter in the history books. Glad to see Prigozhin back in action; don't know what he and Wagner will do, but it won't be boring.
    2
  6187. I am a "car guy"; an 80s kid who drooled over the AMG Hammer, 911 Whale Tail, M3 Lightweight, etc. I've owned '91 NSX, C7, Jag XKR and XJ Supercharged. I bought this for my 17 year old daughter, because for the price there is no other vehicle available with its mix of desirable features. 'Nuff said.
    2
  6188. That is the best looking SUV on Earth. I can't think of even one that looks better. Maybe Aston DBX or Jag F-Pace are close, but that's it.
    2
  6189. This security agreement just changed the dynamic. All those plans France, Germany and UK were making to attack Russia now have to be updated to deal with North Korea too. That's two nuclear powers Macron and Scholz have to deal with now, instead of one.
    2
  6190. France, Italy, Portugal, etc. want nothing to do with Bidens War of Choice
    2
  6191. The "black Ukrainians" were run out of town (in the back of the buses) on Day 2 of the war. You don't remember? 🙂

  6192. That cell phone shot with the multiple mushroom clouds inside a cityscape was cool!"

  6193. To the next prepared defense positions in Tokmak sector, yes.

  6194.  @celestialmorpho  Can you "control" it when you're hungry? Can you "control" it when you need water? I've been to 20 different cities in 10 different countries and I never seen any evidence humans can "control" their sexual desire to any significant degree. Hard Truths
    2
  6195. France. The fires from the old people who want to retire early barely stopped smoldering and now the young people pissed-off at the cops re-light them all over the country. The Frogs can't catch a break...
    2
  6196. What stands out to me is that concrete pillbox he is sitting in front of. It looks like it was finished just the day before, so it is probably in the Kharkiv area where they are building them by hand as they don't have enough equipment to get them up in time. "That thing will not survive even one direct hit by even the smallest guided bomb..."
    2
  6197. Can someone please tell me why NATO believes it can win a nuclear war with Russia? Russia has clearly said for a decade "we will use nukes before we lose Crimea". I don't see a lot of nuance in that statement. Does NATO believe they are bluffing?
    2
  6198. That is crazy for Russia to be willing to go back to the deal of 2022. A lot of their soldiers have lost their lives to IMPROVE the fortunes of their country, not have them be exactly the same two years after their sacrifice. If Russia is willing to do that, then why did all those men take Bakhmut, Avdiivka, etc...??" Not sure I believe this report

  6199. What good is money if you ain't around to spend it??*

  6200. Ask yourselves, why does everyone not in NATO, fear NATO? Why do 8 billion humans, fear 1 billion other humans so much?
    2
  6201. Only Putin can turn a NATO PsyOp used successfully against him, into a recruiting opportunity to increase his army against NATO. Putin the Great
    2
  6202. Remember two years ago when the Times (and all Western Media) put the quotes around hypersonic for Kinzal and Iskander and Zircon? Because no one in the West has such weapons so how could they really be hypersonic. 😂😂😂
    2
  6203. Zelensky bombed Donetsk yesterday, I'm sure the people there who voted to join Russia appreciated it.
    2
  6204. Just like the civilian cars the American Strykers shot up just across the border two days ago??"
    2
  6205. Zelensky crying about needing more of everything is psyops; they've already gotten a lot of stuff secretly. Last night they sent over 100 drones, HIMARS, ATACMS and French HAMMER guided bombs at Crimea. That is millions of $$$ of the very best US and France have, and Russia shot all of them down. RU has over 50 Pantsir-S1 systems in Crimea; that's over 600+ AA missiles and 100+ 30mm radar guided autocannons. Nothing that flies getting through there...
    2
  6206. I can believe 4800 casualties in the past week for AFU (not sure about 4800 KIA). Just the confirmed video from Robotyne the past week with sometimes 80 Ukrainian armored vehicles visible on Russian night vision on one night. If you assume 8 men per vehicle that is 640 men and that was just one night.
    2
  6207. LOL again? For what to get back the 60% they lost over the past month? Ukraine will be in the Military History books in the Chapter entitled "Stupid"....
    2
  6208. Putin just landed in Mongolia; daring them to try to "arrest" him for the ICC. Such a boss...."
    2
  6209. Lies, two years ago no one saying 'Russia coming for all of Europe ". Now its "Putin wants us all so give money to Ukraine to fight him for us!". Lies to finish NATO's own little nation building project, that is all...

  6210. "Sources" - Ukraine Intelligence Directorate 🤣

  6211.  @PresidentTraitorFelon  no potato, but I got two entire towns in Donbass yesterday!! 🤣

  6212.  @martavdz4972  I actually had a different view, but YT deleted it. So much for Free Speech, eh?
    2
  6213. Taurus is not some 10 or 20 year old tech; it is one of Germany's newest weapons and filled with CURRENT tech. Just as the US stripped the Abrams of all modern tech before sending them Ukraine, the Germans do not want their tech to fall into the hands of Russia. You can't strip tech out of a cruise missile, so "NO" it is.
    2
  6214. It isn't just the raw #s of soldiers, is the leadership as well. All these retreats the past few months have shown clearly that no one in Ukraine (or in NATO apparently) ever thought they'd have to defend the territory they already had. They've had NATO officers (and CIA bases) all over the country for two years now and no one ever suggested to fortify behind their lines. Zelensky, and those holding his leash, never thought for a minute they'd have to go backwards ; hence no prepared defenses and RU now running wild after every breakthrough.
    2
  6215. Precisely why the conversation is needed. No one alive has ever evaluated why we do what we do for themselves, they just do it because they were born into a world in which it is done.
    2
  6216. Sounds right. It IS just an SUV body on a Sedona minivan after all...
    2
  6217. The Left here in the US is going crazy, but they've been going crazy three weeks now so hard to tell what is just "Trump" and what is "Ukraine" 🙂
    2
  6218. It was an accident. Sad, but no one's "fault".
    2
  6219. "Might" be?? They are allies. Iran is about to take delivery of brand new Su-35s which will put them on even terms with Israel.
    2
  6220. If you bring up Church or values or morality YT deletes the comment. Trying to live a moral life is now “radical”
    2
  6221. There is nothing funny about this. 7th grade is age TWELVE ; my youngest son is 14 and some old hag rubbing herself on him would traumatize him. What the bloody heck is wrong with this generation of women???"
    2
  6222. "...it was a ballistic missile, and the air raid alert started only when the first explosions began..." Exactly what all the military blog sites reported a couple of hours ago; they reported a lot of other things you'll never see in Western Media as well. Only one other country can attack without anyone realizing it until the bombs hit-----the United States using stealth bombers. Hmmm, seems Russia has caught up.....again.
    2
  6223. Because the whole war has been exposed as unnecessary. Biden chose war to try to teach Putin a "lesson" to score political points back home. The whole war could easily have been avoided in September, 2021. Someone would have to have just knocked some sense into Zelensky's head. Now, the war is spiraling out of control, far beyond what Biden gambled it would become and sane people are looking for the exits.
    2
  6224. No more $10B US weapon shipments = war is over
    2
  6225. US CIA and State Department all over this....just like Ukraine in 2014...."
    2
  6226. I wouldn't worry about a nuke being used. Ukraine has taken 30,000 casualties in the past two months, 30% loss of NATO equipment and ALL of the Leopard 2s now gone.
    2
  6227. Wow. Storm Shadow is UK most modern weapon system; if they are giving those away that means all limits are off; this is NATO vs. Russia. I wonder how Russians will react when Moscow starts to burn and Putin tells them UK gave Ukraine the missiles that did it?
    2
  6228. Pray for Mother Russia to destroy her enemies, as she is in a fight for her very life against 30+ foes.
    2
  6229. Russian reserves haven't even had to move in two months of Ukrainian "offensive". No holes to plug as Ukraine cant make any holes
    2
  6230. Joe Bidens cluster shells fired by Ukraine into Donestk. When everyone is a "war criminal", no one is.

  6231.  @Test-tu9mb  That is actually worse for AFU----that means they are incompetent.
    2
  6232. Just coming to check up on his "investment". Blinken is a demon in a $2500 suit. It was diplomats like he and Nuland among others that convinced Zelensky to fight two years ago instead of negotiate a settlement. They did this by promising to financially sustain Ukraine for the duration of the war, and provide all the weapons Ukraine would need. There would be no war but for men like this. Ukraine didn't even thank him for the $1B. Now, Blinken's little "pet" grows disdainful of its master; telling him "this money isn't a "gift", we EARNED this by doing your dirty work for you." This is as nauseating an example of naked Imperialist opportunism you are likely to see this century.
    2
  6233. Wow, 0:56 looks like something from a movie.
    2
  6234. Why? Why does the US "need to ensure" that?? No one can give an objective reason. They would have settled it among themselves without our involvement. Some Ukrainians are pro EU, some pro Russia. All we did was make it 10x worse...

  6235. they are lawnmowers with wings, 99% get blotted from the sky.... a few always make it through

  6238. Looks like a field of discarded construction materials

  6239. For $2500 a month I get 3700 square feet and a swimming pool. Priorities...
    2
  6240. All those towns in Dnipro area are like 250+ km from the front. What UAV asset Russia using that can just sit in the sky and observe that deep into Ukraine to hit Mig-29s and S-300 like that? My guess is Orlan-30 as the older version I don't think had that kind of range
    2
  6241. I am happy for Russia; they did nothing to deserve what NATO has been trying to do to them since 2014.
    2
  6242. Asia and Africa together are 10 times the population of EU countries; they do not need Europe or America . Its 2025, not 1945. Go forth and meet your destiny together. However always make sure you spend 3% on cruisers, destroyers, carriers, fighters, bombers and tanks. NEVER forget that the Europeans are out there....."
    2
  6243. Peskov clearly said "we are changing our strategic weapons usage policy". US/UK basically are like "go ahead" ; because its not their land where the mountain-sized craters will be made..."
    2
  6244. Yeah because its a lie made up by Zelensky (and SK) to beg NATO to come in and save him.
    2
  6245. Heil Zelensky!
    2
  6246. Both leader admit they cant win , yet they won't admit they are beaten. Zelensky over here asking for F-18s, Apaches, THAAD, a Ford class carrier, etc. what the hell drugs is he on?? Just make AFU the 6th branch of US then....
    2
  6247. Xi needs to come off the fence and tell the US "end your proxy war in Ukraine now, or we go from helping Russia a little to helping Russia a lot, just like you do for Ukraine". Your pet cannot win, but it can have a life if you make it talk.
    2
  6248. After two years of war, death and failure. Ukraine's people are beginning to fracture.... Not much longer now.
    2
  6249. Adults can do what they want. However those Americans who want to allow 11yr old boys to mutilate themselves to become "girls" are no different than those who practice genital mutilation. Both are crimes against humanity
    2
  6250. Last week some words from US intelligence "leaked" a bit and got reported (not in CNN though) that US realizes this "offensive" is a total failure regarding the objectives it had 6 months ago. Moreover, another $13B to rebuild another 60K man NATO-trained AFU force to try again next year, even with F-16s, won't change anything, as RU will just rebuild and strengthen all defenses over the winter. RU is strangling Ukraine; the blockade, the strikes on ammo dumps, Mig-29s, and trains 60 miles deep into Ukraine's interior show the entire logistics apparatus for their troops in the south is under total Russian overwatch. It takes time to win a war by attacking logistics, there are no huge dramatic battles to show on TV, but crushing the enemy logistics has an almost 100% success rate in defeating an opponent.
    2
  6251. Every one of these updates I just see "Kursk 1943" all over again. I just can't help it as it looks so similar tactically. The technology has changed, but that doesn't mean the lessons from 80 years ago are any different as BOTH sides have the same tech. Russia has all the time in the world, while Ukraine is on the clock. In the south, Russia doing typical "bend don't break" strategy, trading some land for time. Unless Ukraine advances on the flanks, that one salient cannot go very deep or it will simply be attacked on the flanks and destroyed. In the north, all those rocket launchers (and reloaders!) means they are going lay down some serious firepower as those look like the serious 220mm launchers with 20+ mile range.
    2
  6252. What is there to think about? Only one will still be running in 2030---the Honda. The Kia will be falling to pieces long before then, and likely will have at least one engine out replacement. Not even close.
    2
  6253. To all the people posting that they wished the outcome were different, you know this man will be President of the United States in three months and the Internet forgets nothing, right? Especially those of you in Ukraine; you know Trump will read what you posted last night, correct???"
    2
  6254. I understand Israel is angry and wants revenge, but they've put 10x the hurt on Gaza than Hamas put on them. I think the blood ledger is close to being even....
    2
  6255. Can I just vote for Trump now and free up my November?
    2
  6256. Russia is already in possession of 80% of the LAND they care about. They only cared about the GOVERNMENT in Kyiv, not the land itself. Russia wants the annexed areas and Crimea, not all of Ukraine! They already have the most important territory!! It is only stupid Americans listening to CNN that believe Russia wants all of Ukraine (and Poland, Finland, etc.). Just LISTEN to what Putin has been saying for the past few years. Russia only cares about ejecting Ukraine from the annexed areas, and now will fortify them with a million mines, tanks, artillery and missiles, and fill the Black Sea with warships, and then sit tight and rebuild and repopulate.
    2
  6257. "Active defense" is just Ukraine using Soviet tactics from WW2. After all, they were part of the Soviet Army doing the same thing back then. They going back to their roots...
    2
  6258. Are you aware of recent US history at all??? We'd be the first kicked out under such a policy

  6259. AFU never has shown itself to be that smart in this war
    2
  6260. I just saw "Oppenheimer". They actually weren't sure they wouldn't destroy the whole world when they pushed that button, but at least they were smart. You are not...
    2
  6261. The only reason we hesitate to call all this "World War Three" is because the big boys are only fighting via proxies. That is not going to last forever; it never does...
    2
  6262. ...and Saddam

  6263. When this war is over, I'm going to buy T-shirts with emblems and insignia from Wagner, VDV, and Pacific Fleet Marines. Those dudes are the meanest, toughest SOB's in the world right now.
    2
  6264. Sweden lost a big part of its own AWACS system instructors; meaning it now can't even train its own people. (They should never have been there in the first place). Sweden learning a harsh lesson that neutrality is almost always preferable for a small weak nation. You join the big boys military alliance, you going to take hits like one of the big boys....."

  6268. Prigozhin will become a billionaire after this war is over.
    2
  6269. Germany is #2 in military support of Ukraine after the US. Now, in the wake of proof Ukraine bombed Nordstream 2, forcing them to buy LNG from the US (at 4 times more than RU charged), damaging their economy to the tune of $600B, they are pissed"off" Next year their budget will cut 50% support for Ukraine.
    2
  6270. What is that now, the second "Russian-backed coup attempt" in Ukraine in as many months?? Are we sure they are "Russian backed" or is that just what Ukraine MoD is telling us?
    2
  6271. BBC you guys are pathetic; it hurts your soft readers feelings' so much you have to blur out the red armbands on the Russian soldiers, and red star on the Russian helicopter?? 😂 Don't feel too bad, red is for soldiers of the Donestk People's Republic (DPR) so these Russians that routed AFU at Avdeevka are just locals protecting their home.

    2
  6275. Vietnam has a "Four No's" foreign policy: No military alliances. No foreign military bases. No siding with one nation vs. another. No threats of force in foreign relations. --- If only the United States had such a policy, maybe we could go a decade or two in our 250-year history without being in a war?
    2
  6276. Biden must be removed from office as he has gone rogue
    2
  6277. No amount of training can prepare soldiers for the real thing; if this is true it benefits both NK and Russia. SK says they are "1500 special forces", of course you have to be willing to believe SK. Imagine getting 1500 Green Berets; they already know how to shoot, drive vehicles, use a wide array of arms, but they have zero experience (especially their officers). Russia gets additional, already-trained manpower, while North Korea gains real combat experience for its elite forces. Something they can get nowhere else, and the experience for their junior officers and NCOs which are the backbone of any army, will be invaluable to NK.
    2
  6278. We are 4 or 5 years away from EVs finally maturing enough that you don't have to look like a virtue-signaling idiot for buying one. SUV's, minivans, trucks etc. were never purchased for their sound so losing that to an electric motor is irrelevant. Sports cars however I still will buy in ICE form as long as they are sold (and after that will just buy them used----there will be enough to last 40 or 50 years of my estimated remaining lifetime). The only issue I see is whether to buy or lease; I personally hate leasing but with EVs that seems like the most intelligent way to drive them as their capabilities change very fast. A 2017 Audi Q3 is maybe 98% as capable as a 2022. However in five years the Q4 E-Tron will probably have double (or triple) the performance and range, meaning this one here will have the value of a doorstop. Then again that may mean I just buy them used...
    2
  6279. You mean "fighting retreat"
    2
  6280. Does Russia have aerial bombs larger than 500 kg?? Su-34s has been running 50+ sorties per day now for weeks and with them lobbing these things from 55 km away are 100% safe from enemy fire. Robotyne seems like the perfect place to just put a constant rain of very large guided bombs as the AFU concentration is so thick you cant miss. RU needs a MOAB or Daisycutter type of weapon.
    2
  6281. Putin knows exactly what he is doing. By formally announcing to the world that Russia will consider this an Act of War, he forces Joe Biden to have to go to Congress for authorization because a US President cannot start a war; only Congress can.
    2
  6282. They HAVE to support each other. Every country not in NATO is always one American election away from a new President wanting "regime change". I could not imagine living in a world where that threat is always hanging over your neck----I'd be feverishly looking for an insurance policy against that before I focused on anything else.
    2
  6283. At the rate Ukraine is going, they will take back Crimea and the annexed areas in 2067 at the cost of 21M casualties.
    2
  6284. I've not seen such a huge divergence between what the Western Media reports every day, and what all the neutral (or even pro-Ukraine) military channels report every day. Even at Bakhmut and Avdiivka, CNN just didn't report anything for a week or two after both cities fell; they didn't just run articles for a week saying "Avdiivka holds!" when the whole world could see that it didn't. Yet here, for this Kursk fiasco, CNN/BBC/SKY still going with the "all is going well in Kursk, AFU is advancing on all fronts with no losses and we see endless streams of Western equipment going in/out of Russia with no problems at all" It is like reporting from two separate parallel universes...."
    2
  6285. To make sure they work as all three are going to need them soon
    2
  6286. That building CNN keeps telling us is "just an apartment building", was a hotel with over 100 foreign mercenaries staying there. Mostly Polish. All of them are dead now. You can NEVER, EVER trust CNN for ANYTHING.
    2
  6287. Russia dropped 50% of Ukraine's electrical power grid in one night. That is the Bear Unleashed.
    2
  6288. Today Wagner is attacking Bakhmut from the North, East and South all at the same time. CNN and US media is a joke when it comes to news about this war-----they just act as mouthpiece for Ukrainian government.

  6289. We been telling you this same story for almost three years. Listen next time and use your Brain, not your Heart

  6290. The crazy thing is that pretty much ANY V8 Charger/Challenger is holding its value spectacularly well. A 2016 SRT is almost $40K----it was $50K new!! That is nuts! Doesn't matter which you buy as long as there is a V8 in there. Even 12 year old SRT8's with 90K miles go for $17K-----that is HALF what they cost over a decade ago! Just buy one, any one. Contrast that to dropping $50K on a 2021 Kia Stinger or Genesis G70.....in one year you'll LOSE $20K! Its your money; don't throw it away!
    2
  6291. Audi should build a Final gas edition of all their cars using Toyota engines so we can still be driving and enjoying them in 2044....
    2
  6292. It is very strange this flood of Western articles in the past month about Russian casualties. All year CNN/BBC/SKY all gleefully show Ukraine provided videos of them inflicting losses on Russia (but never their own). Now, just in last six weeks, Western media full of "concern" for Russian losses. US and UK don't care about Russians. Why such an effort to portray otherwise??

  6296. There is not a square meter of the earth inhabited by humans that doesn't have a radio nearby; how do we know they aren't all rigged? Israel apparently has crafted its own "Final Solution".... If necessary, they wipe the rest of us out.

  6297. Ukraine is not in NATO, meaning NATO has no business even being involved. This is a local problem, that would have been solved locally, but NATO stuck its nose in and now its a global problem. NATO leaves, it becomes a local problem again.

  6298. If US/UK knew about it, FSB knew about it a month ago...

  6299. Stinger's biggest problem is the same problem all sedans have; they are sedans. People just don't want that body style. Look at the VW Arteon; it is basically perfect: not too expensive, gorgeous styling, modern interior tech, decent powertrain, good mpg, built like a tank, large interior with a hatchback, excellent Euro handling dynamics.....and they can't give them away. The second big problem with the Stinger is the one its had its whole life; the price. When it came out it was approaching $50K for the top model which no sane person would pay for a Kia. Even now, you may as well get the mechanically identical Genesis G70 for $5K more; on a lease the difference is virtually invisible. Good car to pick up used one day tho....
    2
  6300. I think you meant "United States" , not "Russia"
    2
  6301. NATO was never on the side of righteousness in Ukraine; never had the moral high ground. The 2014 Coup, the lies, the duplicitousness with respect to Russia, the ulterior motives, the arrogance in choosing the destiny of people who you never asked, etc. That is why I knew in December, 2021 NATO would fail.
    2
  6302. The West will do what it has done for two years; send what it can when it can and hope for the best. NATO had no years to build up a strategy to fight Russia before 2022; otherwise they would have begun preparing in 2016. NATO will continue to be reactive only and Russia will do what it said it will do. At best, Putin will stop once the "buffer zone" is created and say to the West "you all ready to talk now?" At worst, he'll take all of it then say the same thing.

  6303. That was in 2022; they'll take him today...."🤣

  6310. Tbh, the totally weird placement of the transmission stalk is part of why I bought an Audi A4 in April and not a CLA 250. I KNOW for sure I'd get that wrong occasionally, and my wife would get that wrong all the time and it would become a very stressful thing for her. I hate that on modern Benzes.
    2
  6311. No, US being smart. Ukraine has to have a valid reason, if RU already moved planes from all bases within 300 miles of border, what is the point of a JASSM missile??
    2
  6312. Ukraine has been doing this for years. US and UK say "fine with me". Yet, they splash the media with "Putin is responsible for Nalvany's death!!' So? The US/UK enable Ukraine to take out the political opposition and they don't even give them the mercy of a trial first.
    2
  6313. So, your point is pay mercenaries on the cheap to weaken our foes so that we don't have to? You think that is something positive??
    2
  6314. That doesn't even sound like Russia; that sounds like something ISIS would do. "Western intelligence agencies" said Russia would run out of missiles by April, 2022. They said Russians would run from the Leopard and Abrams. They said Russia economy would collapse under sanctions. Fake News
    2
  6315. LOL, dude in the foreground looks like a college student with a backpack....but that pack probably contains a 5.56 carbine, grenades, an anti-tank rocket, a Stinger missile, and comms equipment to call in a JDAM strike. 🙂
    2
  6316. Just like the civilian cars the American Strykers shot up just across the border two days ago??"
    2
  6317. BBC has big article up today on all the Ukrainian men who fled the country to escape the trenches. Smart guys, imho. If someone invades the US to make us all slaves, I fight to the death to be free. If Mexico invades just to take back the parts of CA and TX that are 99% Mexican like Los Angeles or Brownsville? Ehhh, maybe I don't bother fighting them.
    2
  6318. Whats this like the 57th time he said "no" to Taurus??

  6320. Next person that says "Ukraine is winning" getting reported for misinformation....."

  6321. The US simply cannot treat non-NATO leaders with respect, NATO with the US at its head, is now a force for tyranny.
    2
  6322. LOL, has Reuters "confirmed" the FAB strike on 47th brigade HQ 3 nights ago?? The one with clear multiple high-order secondary detonations??? I bet not.....hahahahaha!"
    2
  6323. I wonder how the people of NY; who every day see the result of DEM open border policy on their streets, really feel? I bet many will vote Trump and just lie to any friends or family who ask...
    2
  6324. Yeah whatever, no one believes the "Russia bombs civilians, but Ukraine never does" lies for the 100th time. Can we talk about why US F-16 shot down a Turkish drone in Syria?? NATO going to war with itself is far more interesting story
    2
  6325. Typical CNN, goading the interviewee into making speculation and speaking opinions as if they were truth.
    2
  6326. The irony of his shirt saying "Freedom", when it is freedom from NATO they need in order to survive. They've taken grievous losses for "Four abandoned villages, and 5km", when the first (of six) defense lines is still 10km away. Ukraine is about to be taught the same exact lesson the Wehrmacht learned precisely 80 years ago: having a better tank means little when the enemy outnumbers you, has had time to prepare, and knows you're coming. When they reach the real defenses, all those flat plains of shimmering grain give very little cover, and behind every copse will be a 100mm sniper. While artillery falls like rain, drones will dive out of the sky like angry hornets; driving those that flee right into an anti-tank mine. At night, Kamov Ka-52s hover unmolested, taking their time on thermal sights to blast anything that moves. TOS-1A thermobaric shells will suck the air out of Ukrainian lungs, before the detonation obliterates them, ending their suffering. If somehow, incredibly after all that a Ukrainian vehicle emerges unscathed, the T-90M, now being built at a rate of 100 per month, will blow it to bits. Not with 100,000 men could Ukraine do this...
    2
  6327. These are fine IF you buy them used; they depreciate 50% in ONE year so don't waste your money on a new one. However if you really want to feel joy every time you drive, forget this thing and buy an Alfa Romeo Giulia Ti. You will weep tears of joy even when you go three blocks to the grocery store. If you were fortunate enough in life to have owned an E46 BMW, the Giulia is the modern version of that automotive perfection. Even BMW has not yet surpassed the E46-----only Alfa has.

  6328. "..while Russia takes strategic stronghold near Chasiv Yar...".

  6329.  @tedbanning9090  Its only "gray" to you because you disagree with Musk. The OP is correct. The US is not at war and a private company cannot be compelled to act as political party wishes them to.
    2
  6330. We are living in a new world of NATO; the organization of the 80s Cold War is not the organization of today. NATO leadership today were toddlers or pre-teens in the 80s---they have no memory of the claws of the Bear. This is a far more aggressive NATO; France just said "non!" to supporting NATO opening an office in Asia. The myth of a benign NATO, a peace-loving defensive organization like Star Trek's Federation, has been exploded. NATO is a military alliance and as such it exists to crush its enemies.
    2
  6331. No, its not the same. Today there are no longer any "no doc" mortgages or "interest only investor" mortgages ballooning the market. Today houses are being bought by people with the jobs and money to buy it----period. There will be no crash in housing unless employment crashes and so far, employment is blowing up.

  6332. Too many zeroes to fit on screen...

  6334. North. You mean through Belorussia?? The Ukrainians would never emerge alive to even begin to fight Russia...
    2
  6335. Makes sense. All those things so close is what makes cities desirable; if COVID lockdown takes that away what is there left to enjoy? Your little apartment feels like a prison cell. Happening here in New York and Chicago, etc. as well. Don't worry though; by 2025 all those who left will be bored to death out in the country with nothing to do and they'll be moving back to the city. :-)

    2
  6338. TWO S-300s with one missile. AFU fools to place them so close together...
    2
  6339. No amount of spin or psy ops by Ukraine can hide it. Russia has defeated Ukraine in Bakhmut and NATO has lost control of the narrative because everything they've said over the past six months has turned out to be a lie. Now, we in US are hearing that Biden is demanding Zelensky start the offensive now---no more waiting, no more hand-wringing, no more hoping for better odds at some future date. Use the $50B in weapons we've given you and attack them now.
    2
  6340. If this doesnt work US will send VX gas bombs. The US makes the "rules based international order" and all other nations that follow are its bitches
    2
  6341. You can tell by who China sent to meet him what they think of the US. They sent a third level local official to greet his plane. "The negotiations will be short." 😂
    2
  6342. I told you the number would rise every day; I just saw another news article that now says "12,000" and YT never deletes the numbers even with zero proof. However if you comment a number of Ukrainians lost in Kursk, YT immediately deletes it. This madness is going to end in less than two weeks.....
    2
  6343. Oh boy here we go right on time. Whenever RU about to achieve a key victory, Western Media brings out the "meat wave" narrative to diminish the victory. Its not 2022; no one believes that anymore. We see the guided bombs, the drones, we know AFU is in retreat in Donbas....." No more BS West Media!!! We won't even believe you about the weather for the next 25 years!!"
    2
  6344. Only 2000 RU soldiers are storming Vovchansk, while AFU has rushed 10,000 men to defend it. The reporter is 100% correct (I'm really shocked! for a Western media channel), the point is to tie up more AFU from other areas because they are forced to come defend it. Because RU has a 10 to 1 firepower advantage, they only need a few thousand men, while Ukraine needs five times as many to keep the place from being overrun with ease.
    2
  6345. LOL. "We are under attack, send in the Steiner Armored Division!" "B-but sir, we donated that division to AFU last year"....
    2
  6346. Nothing happens in a vacuum. Remember about two months ago when Russia first started dropping FABs and Iskanders on the Ukrainian side? It wasn't clear what they were hitting as no troops or vehicles were visible, and there were no secondary detonations so it wasn't ammo. Ding! It was the heavy river fording equipment given to them by the UK (who also trained a lot of the AFU marines). Russia knew where it all was hidden, so instead of worrying too much about infantry incursions, they destroyed any capacity to bring over a vehicle leading to the turkey shoot we see now. Well done.
    2
  6347. Everyone lies in war, in equal measure.
    2
  6348. Biden and Trump are our only two choices??? I'm not certain Biden is even in charge; his mind is gone and he's never been a war-monger before now. Someone else is controlling him. Then there's Trump; the manifestation of the worst in humanity. Those are what we have to choose from. RFK Jr. wins almost by default between these two options.
    2
  6349. Yeah but how does that stop the Russians from taking Kupiansk and Avdiivka?? Oh yeah this is their CIA guy, not their army guy
    2
  6350. Civil War brewing...."
    2
  6351. I saw that same video last week, and I looked at a lot of photos to see if I could tell what type tank that was; best guess is T-80 or T-90. If that is true, that means Russians are serious about this sector as those are their best two tanks. That said, this vid also shows how weak compared to US Russia conventional forces are (no surprise---US defense budget 8x higher than Russia). Muzzle flashes at that tank from 90 degrees in front of it; US Army would have called in JDAM strike all across that line and there would be nothing left to shoot at the tank.
    2
  6352. Lol... Complete lie.
    2
  6353. Everything the Biden Administration has touched over the last 4 years has turned to ash. Afghanistan was a warning; one I myself did not heed. I've never seen such lust for tyranny in the Democrat Party, such fervor to bend those who think differently to their will by force. I voted DEM since I turned 18 30 years ago, I voted Biden in 2020; after what I've seen I will never vote DEM again in my life, even if I live a thousand years....
    2
  6354. HE is the one that needs to go. It is his energy that needs to change; all he knows how to do is ask Biden for more and more powerful weapons. Each one fails to change anything so he asks for more. That's not leadership; that is insanity...."
    2
  6355. Jewish politicians that use the Holocaust to browbeat other nations into adopting favorable policy should get zero support from Israeli population. Jews should learn a lesson from the experiences of the African Americans. For decades, "racism" had a strong chilling effect on anyone publicly against policy favorable to them. However, with time, the charge lost its power as it was overused, particularly in situations where the opposition had valid objective reasons. "Anti-semitism" , after 70 years of power to stop any counter argument cold, has reached that point of overuse.
    2
  6356. There is a pro-Ukraine channel with an American former military veteran; he is very pro-Ukraine, but he doesn't push fantasy. The mood and comments there are very somber; they realize they are doomed. Lots of anger at NATO for slow or no weapons, blaming and finger-pointing. I want to gloat and say "I told you so!!" , but I feel bad doing so as I , like most Americans, never had any ill will towards Ukraine. I hate seeing their male population decimated. I'm angry at Biden, Blinken, Nuland, and Johnson.
    2
  6357. A million articles for three years about EU "defense" and Russia didn't even attack them, they attacked Russia. Defense is easy if you leave others alone...
    2
  6358. Looks like American police arresting people for smoking marijuana...
    2
  6359. If RU took out another Patriot that is a big deal. Patriot is probably the greatest single NATO weapon system in demand right now; more than ATACMs, Storm Shadow, Abrams tanks, etc. Its air defense, then everything else; its so bad even the US don't have a full system to spare---they trying to cobble one together with launchers/radar/control module all from different countries. A lot of US media reports Israel is going to send up to 8 old Patriot systems to Ukraine because even UK news admits F-16 will be wiped out on the ground if they don't cover the bases with Patriot/NASMs. The $2.3B of more aid Joe Biden just announced is mostly Patriot missiles but they have to be produced so they are weeks away. Personally, I don't think any of that will make much difference; it is not clear Patriot can stop an Iskander...both sides say completely opposite things as to whether it can or not. Even if Patriot can stop Iskander half the time, there are far more Iskanders than Patriots so eventually the Iskanders will win.

  6360. "small town" gives away your bias. Robotyne which you celebrated, 500 people. Avdiivka 30,000 people. Cope harder.
    2
  6361. I have had enough; two years and $204B and its all gone?? No more. Learn to live with your larger and more powerful neighbors like humans have had to do for 10,000 years. France lost a war with Germany and had to give up Alsace-Lorraine....but whaddaya know? 45 years later they got it back. Land lasts forever, human life only 90 years. AFU is too emotional, they can't be rational, so we have to be rational for them. No money = They have to negotiate.
    2
  6362. At 10 guys per boat, that's 40 highly trained commandos now fish food. Ouch.
    2
  6363. Those AFU buy that $1000 armor and helmet not to protect themselves, but to look like they are in "Call of Duty". Ukraine has richly earned the label "Tik Tok Warriors" over the past two years. No army posts itself and its operations on social media more than AFU.
    2
  6364. Ukraine Frontline troops surrendering because they are out of Western ammo. Just like the last days of the Third Reich when Wehrmacht would shoot at the Allies unti they ran out of ammo then surrender. That way they felt they'd done their duty before surrender. We are in the final stages of this war
    2
  6365. Corporate shill this guy is.
    2
  6366. CNN does a terrible job of covering this war; they only run one or two articles a week about this attack or that event, and they never "tie it all together". This shoot down is a perfect example of why Russia started a new offensive near Belgorod region yesterday. A few months ago Putin said Russia would establish a 15 km "buffer zone" along the border to keep Belgorod and border towns out of range of Ukrainian artillery. Belgorod is too close to the border, allowing AFU to get close enough to use rockets and missiles. With a 15 km buffer zone, most standard artillery, rockets, etc. will not be able to reach Belgorod. That operation began yesterday.

  6367.  @MercOne  Exactly what I was about to type! Caddy has not had an entry in this space in over two years. This a shill account from Hyundai Motors.

  6369. Yep, the steamroller is coming from the North, while the NATO army is bogged down in the South.
    2
  6370. Now that both Ukraine and Russia have confirmed the events in Istanbul, where they both AGREED on Armistice terms and it was UK (with US of course) that scuttled the peace plan, the real question is: What does the US/UK want so badly it is willing to sacrifice Ukraine to get it? Why has it always seemed US/UK want to "beat" Russia even more than Ukraine does?
    2
  6371. I don't understand why the West just can't leave Russia alone?
    2
  6372. Did you ask him what his life would have been like had the West stayed out of Russia and Ukraine internal affairs a decade ago and let them resolve their issues on their own as they have for 1500 years??
    2
  6373. They control 100% of Crimea, and 85% of the annexed territories ( all of which the people just voted last month to be "Russia"). At this point, it is more accurate to say Ukraine is occupying about 0.4% of Russia.
    2
  6374. Its now 4pm CT where I live and the three main non-MSM war report sources are coming in with information. One admitted he had no direct evidence either way. A second didn't have direct evidence but he DID print the Ukraine MoD public statements made by their Military Air Defense forces AND a statement later by their Military Intelligence Bureau. Again , no one actually knows what was on the plane as everyone is dead, but Ukraine has admitted it fired on it. The missile was either Patriot or IRIS-T, Russia has lodged a formal complaint to US and Germany that Ukraine is using their weapon to attack INSIDE Russia, which is a violation of the terms Ukraine got the weapons. So, basically Ukraine either effed up slightly, or really REALLY effed up.
    2
  6375. A bit different when your own home, parents, siblings, etc. are threatened.
    2
  6376. Watch the 2025 Armistice agreement look just like the 2022 one. Think how many Zelensky sacrificed for no gain.
    2
  6377. Yep!
    2
  6378. LOL. Started three days ago and just now showing up in Western news. I swear CNN/BBC/SKY/FRANCE24/DW so fuccing pathetic with trying to keep the "approved narrative" intact, the war will end on a Monday but these mouthpiece outlets won't report it until Friday....."

  6380. Waiting for November when some Ford dealer just wants this out of his sight and will take $53K for me to "help him out". 🙂
    2
  6381. "...the administration thinks it can easily coast into this and go into some kind of negotiation in the Autumn.....not necessarily so..." My God. This is the first time I've heard the unfiltered truth on CNN. Biden Administrations utter incompetence at handling this, from ignoring Putins negotiation offer, to feeding Zelensky a myth that he could defeat Russia militarily, is now on display for all to see.
    2
  6382. That is expected; sad that it now bears being called out as if it were something unusual...
    2
  6383. Ukraine was never our friend. More like we saw a stranger being beat up by a guy who kicked our ass a few weeks prior, and only stepped in because we wanted to get some payback.
    2
  6384. Miss "Alternative Facts" ??? 😂
    2
  6385. Confirmation coming in today that Russia has given Biden/Zelensky its final offer: Negotiate now or Ukraine ceases to exist. Period. The neocons will not allow Zelensky to submit, even if he wanted to (an ultra-Nationalist that he is, he never would anyway). So, the steamroller is coming very soon.
    2
  6386. Where is it "underrated"? Not in the US; still have markups on them since they came out. I was about to order a PMC one but the word on the street was they were coming in with a $10K markup making it a $70K car. Forget that. Now, you can get a '21 with low miles in the $40K range and that is about right as the car was a bit overpriced to begin with. The only real downside to this is the mpg is below average; the M340i can average about 32 mpg where this can only average about 22 mpg in the real world.
    2
  6387. The Ukrainian northern defense line near Kupiansk collapsed yesterday, by now you've heard that Kupiansk and dozens of smaller towns in the area under mandatory evacuation order. It isn't just to limit civilian casualties; it is also because Ukraine does not trust its citizens so close to the Russian border. If they are all gone, none of them can spy for the tsunami of men and steel that are now bearing down on the entire Front. 100,000+ Russians and over 900 tanks, massing there for almost a month (and don't even cry about 'lies"; UK and Ukraine have both estimated that 100K number). Today, Karkhiv is now under evacuation order as well, as there is no guarantee the brigades Ukraine is rushing to the area can stop the steamroller at Kupiansk. Oh yeah, today Russia totally smashed the Ukrainian salient north of Bakhmut; inflicting hundreds of casualties while destroying many armored vehicles. Su-34s now range across both Fronts with FAB-500 GLONASS-guided bombs, as Ukraine's AA capability, worn down by months of drone attacks, is now incapable of stopping them. Cry all you want. Tomorrow you'll wake up and realize its all true. Just as at Kursk in 1943, once the Russian steamroller starts, nothing can stop it.
    2
  6388. Why can't CNN shut the blank up and let her speak??
    2
  6389. You can't understand Russian military equipment without understanding Russia's military history. That's why the under 40 crowd raised after the Cold War dont understand the Mig-29.
    2
  6390. Zelensky is pouring his best NATO-equipped units into Kursk, the 47th, 82nd, all the brigades with the Bradley's and Strykers. Why? Becuase when Trump takes office on Jan. 20th, that when the bargaining will begin and the toehold in Kursk is all Ukraine has to bargain with. Russia knows this too which is why they need to make sure there is not even one AFU boot in Kursk on Jan. 20th.... Gonna be one helluva battle there over the next few weeks...
    2
  6391. Wow....three other mil bloggers said exactly the same. Cry more....😂

  6392. ....meanwhile 110,000 Russians have created a bulge 12 km deep in Lyman sector in just FOUR days. 🙂

  6400. Wherever the weakest are, that's where you'll find the US Military throwing its weight around.
    2
  6401. In November, when US SecDef Austin visited Kyiv, they told him they need "$350B to $400B....including 17 million (yes, MILLION) artillery shells" to "return to the 1991 borders". Austin didn't flat out say "no", but he did remind Zelensky that "there are not 17 million shells in existence to collect" and instructed them to build heavy defense lines, just like the "Surovikin Line" around Kharkiv, Odessa, and north of Kyiv. This is exactly what Ukraine is now doing all along their northern border between Kyiv and Kharkiv. I'm no General, but imho, Russia will do what they've been doing for the past few months, but increase the pace. They've openly stated that for them, the war must be finished up by 2025 and that is Shoigu's timetable. I do not believe Ukraine will get $400B, even if Biden wins in November. Therefore, there will simply be more of the same over the next 12 months, as Russia slowly crushes AFU between its air assault on their capacity to fight, and their steamroller flattening everything in front of them on the ground.
    2
  6402. The Western Media really pumping this up. BBC had an analyst saying this was Ukraine's "Doolittle Raid". I mean, Ukraine has sent drones to Moscow for months, drones just like this that blow out windows in someone's condo or dentist's office. Could it be the TOTAL failure of the Spring Offensive why the media is trying to make us forget about that?
    2
  6403. That is a horrible color combo for an S8; like something you'd see on a C7 'Vette. S8 buyers are in their 50s or older-----they don't buy that Jetta GLI looking appearance. Ewww. Grow up.
    2
  6404. RU was slowly reducing the Kursk salient and by Jan. 20th it would have been basically worthless as a bargain chip. Zelensky had to make a move to shore it up, add some reserves, keep the salient intact and active. Its all about Trump and future negotiating power

  6405. as crazy as it sounds, you are more right than wrong. This was also Prigozhin's great frustration with Putin; Putin tries to walk the line with NATO, but NATO does not walk the line with Putin. However, Putin been in power over 20 years; I give him the benefit of the doubt when it comes to which path to choose, even if I don't agree...."
    2
  6406. Why would they need a nu-ke for a much smaller army?
    2
  6407. All we do is put down and impede the ascendancy of others. We suck
    2
  6408. I'll be surprised if NATO and Russia are not in an open shooting war by this time next year; the first Russian missile will hit either Poland or the UK. If by then we aren't already in it too, its a guarantee a Biden win in '24 will put us in it.
    2
  6409. Global economy, impossible to stop.
    2
  6410. NATO just cannot believe Russia is beating them at conventional warfare. I wouldn't have believed it two years ago. We've been told for 75 years Western tech was superior, but it was never really tested by fire until now due to MAD doctrine. We gave it all to Ukraine and Russia slaps it all down with ease. I worry now if F-22 or F-35 could even really beat a Su-27 in a real war
    2
  6411. Russia should burn the ports to the ground completely. How can you allow your enemy to sell it's resources and fund it's war against you?? Madness. The grain deal is dead; no reason now not to destroy the port and blockade the city entirely. Ahh, the 110,000 Russians and 900 tanks massed near Lyman gonna end this BS soon.
    2
  6412. Poland been in it from day 1.
    2
  6413. The leak confirms Russia has been successfully jamming the JDAM and other "high-precision" weapons the US has given Ukraine. Everything NATO gives Ukraine, Russia counters. Russia has been fighting 40 to 1 for a year now and is WINNING.... Let that sink in a moment.
    2
  6414. Ukraine should surrender, they did in 2022 so they shouldn't find it too difficult....."
    2
  6415. US military intelligence just today says Russia's MIC (safely out of range of anything other than NATO strategic-class weaponry, 2000 miles away in the Urals), is now hitting MONTHLY production numbers, that were ANNUAL numbers in 2022. Just yesterday at Navy Day, Putin announced 30 new warships to be delivered to Russian Navy THIS year (if you know anything about ships, the ship you see delivered today, was started four or five years ago). Their MIC is QUICKLY incorporating lessons learned by combat experience as well as ALL the NATO weapons captured in 18 months (which is pretty much at least one of any type you could name). The Lancet drone now has no peer, no similar weapon system anywhere has its proven combat record (taken out multiple Leopard 2s) and NATO still cannot stop it. Its new variant, the Izdelie-53 have a new tube launcher which can contain up to four Lancets and the drones can relay information between them about armored vehicles and their concentration and attack fully autonomously. Armistice. Now.

  6416. Comic-con probably the best "bang for the buck" spot for working girls. Superhero nerds aren't exactly known for being Chads who can get women on their own...."
    2
  6417. Belarus is mobilizing for war. Great job Biden!!
    2
  6418. That is exactly what it is supposed to do. Unfortunately entire generation of Americans either want it without having to work or they just don't want it at all...
    2
  6419. Makes sense now why NK started destroying roads between it and SK last week. They don't want SK thinking now is the time to jump while they have thousands of their best troops engaged in Russia.
    2
  6420. Every time a Patriot is destroyed, that's $1.2 BILLION gone. Each IRIS-T, $200M gone. Each SAMP/T, that's $500M gone. Russia has wiped out at least 7 Patriot systems and who know how many of the others. Even the West cannot afford that.
    2
  6421. Three days now and no one ever gives us an example of this "Russian propaganda". What, we Americans are just supposed to take MSNBC and CNN word for what is "propaganda:" or not?? Those days are over forever... The United States boxing Russia in to either fight or submit, is not propaganda. It is truth; how else could one characterize NATO ships in the Sea of Azov??? That is like Russian naval warships stationed in the Bahamas.
    2
  6422. Ukraine finally noticed. Iskanders now falling everywhere, where before maybe only the most active front. Also RU double, triple, even quantiple tapping them. Something has clearly changed......
    2
  6423. American Foreign Policy 101 for the past 80 years: "We will put you in the hospital, but then we'll provide your medical care. That way, our weapons industry and our health care industry both benefit at the same time."
    2
  6424. I know it is a Lexus and will still be running smoothly in 2038, but on an emotional level I cannot see how any person could buy this over any single one of its competition.
    2
  6425. Germany should demand US sell them LNG at the same price Russia did for the next 50 years or they will consider Nordstream an act of war
    2
  6426. After watching the Vicky Nuland interview on CNN this week, I am 100% convinced that NATO is the true "evil empire". We are the "Dark Lords" in this drama...
    2
  6427. ?? Biden said up front back in January 2022: "I don't want to start a war with Russia". Where did you get the idea the US was ever going to fight Russia?
    2
  6428. LMAO! Who???
    2
  6429. Yeah, we noticed that. Unfortunately, US and UK still think they are in control....
    2
  6430. In America men are conditioned on pain of accusation or arrest to NEVER look at a woman they don't know. Especially in a gym or on a beach.... Look and instant accusation of leering or catcalling or "toxic masculinity".
    2
  6431. The French sent a contingent of troops to Slavyansk four days ago to help prepare its defenses and today an Iskander took them out. Nobody left the help prepare the defense of Slavyansk. 😂
    2
  6432. What Russia is about to do to Ukraine in the next 3 months will "make the world safer".
    2
  6433. I don't even like EVs but at $55K to start, if the Government is going to give me up to $10K in free money to buy, I'd grab this in a second (for my wife to drive). That makes it cost less than the gas version! They will sell fleets of these (as will Caddy with their Lyriq) once people realize you don't have to put up with horrible quality to have an EV like a Tesla.
    2
  6434. If that is true, Biden may as well call up Lavrov and tell him Ukraine capitulates. Based on the acceleration in Russian activity and missile strikes the past month, by February AFU will look back on November as the "good ole days". Germany delivered a Patriot battery last week and ONE day later Russia took it out with three Kinzhals; launcher, radar, personnel everything. $400M gone just like that. Putin was sending a message: "Abandon all hope, all ye who think helping Ukraine will make a difference"

  6435. Jens needs a vacation in Barcelona-----badly. He looks like a vampire here...
    2
  6436. Cool! (That is all YouTube allows me to comment when it comes to anything Russian.) Anything more detailed from me gets deleted...."
    2
  6437. Just enough to prevent collapse for another month or two...."
    2
  6438. ...and guy makes $75K/ yr....
    2
  6439. West media finally noticed? I guess RU taking 15% of their land back in 24 hours raised some eyebrows in Brussels and Washington??
    2
  6440.  @murp61  ya , having the engine replaced two or three times don't count, bro
    2
  6441. WSJ report says the Russians have adapted to the cluster shells. They just dig their trenches deeper and spread their men out more. Another "game changer" that changed nothing, and now US lost the moral high ground allowing Russia to use "double tap" missile strikes in return and US cant say isht. Biden has made himself a war criminal for nothing
    2
  6442. With artillery, no Russian tank is within 15km
    2
  6443. Ukraine FPV vid targeting a Bradley???
    2
  6444. NATO whisked him out of the country yesterday as there were at least two active plots against him; Germany arrested a couple of agents. However, he should be judged by his own people; whatever fate is for him should be their decision. His term ends in a month and he becomes a civilian again; if Ukraine goes down, he should do what any honorable captain would do. We shall soon see the end of this drama.
    2
  6445. I read in California, so many people installed solar (with decades of juicy rebates of taxpayer money), that now there are times the State has MORE electricity than it needs (and can store). California is already at the point it throws away excess electricity (they do this by dialing back generation, as one can't really toss energy into the trash). Imagine in 2100, when every State has a fusion reactor-----very likely half will be shut down part of the day because otherwise the price of electricity will drop to zero. As a Capitalist country, that is worse than having no energy at all..."
    2
  6446. Can CNN show us the video now this morning? All other news sites say the port facilities no longer exist.
    2
  6447. This time they are going to use Russian tactics , not NATO tactics. They may move more than 8km this time.
    2
  6448. Of course YouTube deletes the comment (widely reported in world news) that Russia sent a lot of tech to Iran to protect them. Typical.....a big part of why we are where we are is the Western Media censorship of the truth when it isn't convenient. How can we ever forget "they only have shovels"...."
    2
  6449. I had a 2012 Prius that got amazing mpg and was indestructible. However it looked like a sad sack, had no sound-deadening, rode like crap on anything other than a perfect road, and was slow as a dog. I couldn't wait to get rid of it; I was happy to go to a 2.0T car with 35 mpg hwy in exchange for the Prius' 52 mpg----the price was worth it for the massive upgrade in comfort and performance. This looks great; if they make it comfortable with that ability to get 0-60 in about 6.7, that is just about the perfect commuter car.
    2
  6450. That "pension" he refers to is from the US taxpayer. Ukraine is not a "country", it isn't even as much as a "protectorate"....it is in every way just a "proxy".
    2
  6451. Why is Biden speaking on behalf of Israel? Every time Israel attacks, Biden goes wide-eyed and says "I didn't know nuffin about it". When Israel is attacked, Biden seems to have all the up to date details of how the attack was "defeated an ineffective".
    2
  6452.  @kylenolan3138  sigh...typical Western mindset: "just because I cannot do it, no one can." One missile with EMP can fry every satellite in a sphere limited only by the yield of the warhead.
    2
  6453. Why is the US involved in everybody's war management???
    2
  6454. Slava Rossiya!
    2
  6455. I knew the family was Black as soon as I saw the title. I'd like to know why the cops even ran the plate in the first place??? Why was THIS vehicle chosen to have its plates checked? Yeah....we ALL know why.
    2
  6456. Say what you want. Russia fighting off many of the best weapons of 30 other countries for going on 3 years has put them in the history books covered in Glory. They ain't gonna lose, worst that happens is they trade a little more land than they would have a month ago. Respect to modern day Spartans...."

  6457. If you have friends in Robotyne....

  6458. Ukraine Spring Offensive ended about three weeks ago. They are now trying some amphibious operation in Kherson preparing for Spring 2024. Russia shot down 25% of Ukraine's air force in just the past THREE days. FIFTEEN planes (10 Mig-29s) have been shot down by Russia's new R-37M hypersonic air-to-air missile with 400 km range. That range is much higher than range of Storm Shadow (250 km) which is why we haven't seen a single Storm Shadow hit since the "fake news" about Ukraine killing the Black Sea Fleet Admiral a MONTH ago. R-37M is "fire and forget", hypersonic, and was designed to shoot down US AWACS planes from so far away the Russian plane was 100% safe. Ukraine's old Soviet-era Migs have been easy meat for the new missile----they die long before they get in range to fire Storm Shadow. Russia just playing with its food as it has for almost two years now....😂😂😂
    2
  6459. Right. "No missiles" , "they have only shovels" , "they will run from Leopard".... War propaganda. 1/250 is 4 tenths of one percent so if "men" is military age only that is about 120,000 KIA. That isn't actually crazy and since Ukraine has 500,000 KIA I'm sure Russia will take the "W" with those losses
    2
  6460. Just saw report this morning that Zelensky signed a law to allow foreigners to serve as officers in the UAF He long ago signed Ukraine's resources to the West, now he's even signing away what vestigial shreds of sovereignty Ukraine had left.... Unbelievable times we are living in; pure desperation in full view as we witness the beginning of the End
    2
  6461. Names of the POWs showing up published by Russian MoD. Ooops...
    2
  6462. Due to several separate, but inter-related factors, I believe US society has reached an inflection point between order and chaos. Over the past decade, we have allowed several signals to be sent to all corners of the population, that the law is no longer enforced; or only weakly and arbitrarily enforced. Since around 2010, countless instances of police brutality (recorded on video so the misconduct is clear) reaching its zenith with George Floyd with protests AND riots and very little punishment. Then the Trump Administration in 2016 with his complete disdain for virtually any law, and meaningless "punishment" like impeachment. Then of course Jan. 6th, which tbh the minions HAVE gotten severe punishment, but the leaders little to none. Then, imho the most recent one that lit the tinderbox: California with the de-criminalization wave of policy and DA discretion that basically signals that stealing is now legal. If you notice, many of these "jump out the car" and steal events all over the country, the perps DISPLAY NO WEAPON. They simply grab what they want, right out of victims' hands in many cases, and walk away. There is NO FEAR of being caught, because we've taught the country that whether you rob a store, or break into the US Capitol, what you are doing is not a crime.
    2
  6463. He looks like he hasn't slept in weeks, and honestly the things he says show a diminishing grasp on reality. I mean listen to him..."victory"?? His army is mostly old men now, he wants to bomb hundreds of targets all over Russia as the center of his country is being overrun; he is delusional. Three ministers in his cabinet quit yesterday; the guy made a choice in 2022 that he now regrets but he cannot ever admit that.
    2
  6464. I bet some T-54/55 got in on the action massacring that AFU armored attack. 100 mm HE from 1953 will kill any IFV from 2023. 😂
    2
  6465. "Decency" and "Honor" are relative terms, like "morality". However having "heart" is far more objective and Russia fighting off (and soundly beating) the money and weapons of almost 50 other countries in over two years of brutal combat, and their economy stronger than its been in decades in spite of 1600 sanctions on them, tells a different story. Russia is the very definition of "heart". The monuments they'll build after this war will be exceeded only by those from WW2..."
    2
  6466. West Media doing the usual: pouring on the daily propaganda this time about North Korean soldiers in Russia. Almost a million soldiers from both sides engaged and the West flipping out due to 3000 more?
    2
  6467. "active phase" of counter attack has begun.....with no air support and the sole German IRIS-T anti-drone radar was destroyed yesterday: double teamed by an Orlan and Lancet drones. I hope no one here has a boyfriend in the Ukrainian NATO-trained army....this is going to be a massacre.
    2
  6468. They also asked the UN, OSCE, and the Red Cross for the same protection in the same statement. Why does CNN leave that out to give the impression they only asked Russia??
    2
  6469. That vid of the Senator was filmed by Akhmat Chechen Special Forces and on the other side of that doorway is a KIA AFU. They only use about 4 sec of the full vid here to show it is a Senator, the fully vid is quite brutal...."
    2
  6470. Zelensky decsions: 2022 reject peace agreement 2023 split NATO-trained army to hold Bakhmut, weaking it so that Zaporizhzhia offensive failed completely 2023 send UK-trained marines to Krinky to get on CNN/BBC/SKY, where they were completely destroyed for zero gain 2024 send new NATO-trained army into Kursk to get on CNN/BBC/SKY, instead of to Donbas where it was needed I mean; why has Ukraine Parliament not fired Zelensky for poor performance???"
    2
  6471. These "Democracies" have shown that they are only for democracy when it goes their way....."

  6472. YT censor working overtime on this one, LOL!
    2
  6473. Join up, or shut up
    2
  6474. LOL. YT won't let me gloat on any pro-Ukraine channels. 😂😂😂
    2
  6475. Message to all these Western journalists riding around in Kursk; no passport, no visa, no approval just walk into Russia (with an invading army) like their borders don't matter, their laws don't matter, their people don't matter. Typical Western arrogance....."
    2
  6476. Especially since there are so many 2 or 3 year old Hellcats and SRTs now flooding the repo auctions, you can get almost 500 HP for 30K and it's still under warranty.
    2
  6477. Didn't SK send tens of thousands of 155mm shells to Ukraine last year (by sending them to the US first)?? Why they acting all surprised that their actions have consequences? S-400 and Su-35S for NK means no annoying American planes in North Korea's sky.
    2
  6478. Some mil bloggers say the F-16s have arrived...how many unknown... whether anyone to fly them unknown. Regardless, Russia will stop at nothing to destroy them. Pilots, mechanics, the people that fuel them...doesnt matter Putin will kill them all.
    2
  6479. This probably would have been a big deal a year ago but tbh it is probably too late to really matter now. Crimea is covered in air defenses of every kind (S-300/Buk/Pantsir) and these will do nothing about the layers of trenches, mines, artillery, drones, rockets, tanks, BMPs, helicopters, and Sukhois swarming all over the South of Ukraine. Just today Wagner broke through the "citadel" in Bakhmut; the last 3% of the city Ukraine was feverishly defending. A missile cannot push 300K armed men off of land.
    2
  6480.  @luciusael  That is a breakOUT...
    2
  6481. 26 injured, 6 critical?? They were frag grenades, man! Think!!
    2
  6482. Agree, that rounded nose just screams HyunKiaGen to me...
    2
  6483. Who didn't see that coming a week ago...
    2
  6484. Both AFU and RU estimates differ wildly (of course), but BOTH number in the hundreds of casualties.... No matter your "side", you aren't human if you're gloating right now. Can someone please explain why freaking Sweden had people there training Ukraine on how to use their AWACS planes they want to donate???? It is STUPID ISHT like that prolonging this war, prolonging the slaughter, preventing more objective voices being heard. WAR don't SOLVE anything!! Adding MORE weapons don't SOLVE anything!!"
    2
  6485. Ukraine and now Israel. The two least democratic "Democracies" getting hundreds of billions a year in free stuff from NATO
    2
  6486. If the war in Ukraine ends by November, I'll vote Harris. If not, I'll vote Trump.
    2
  6487. See Alsace in Franco-Prussian War. Russia knows it can't beat 40 other countries in a long war----they aren't stupid. Russia will dig in, make it impossible for a depleted AFU (even with Star Wars weapons) to eject them, and turn the annexed region into a DMZ so militarized it will make the one in NK look like Disneyland.
    2
  6488. Dad protecting his daughter. I'd do the same exact thing.
    2
  6489. Weeb ddin't say he (or they) know the future. Only that they do indeed have a plan. On that he is 100% correct.
    2
  6490. Yeah but its all talk. Isreal not gonna stop until someone stops then
    2
  6491. What if they can? You think Russia is going to run out of missiles and artillery shells?
    2
  6492. I won't even lie, that was my first thought as well...
    2
  6493. Lol. Its like those sci fi movie epics where Earths colonies return 500 years after they were founded....with a fleet of warships. 😅
    2
  6494. Just your typical Americans discussing things like the weather or politics...
    2
  6495. Yes. I thought by 2025, but if US doesn't give the $60B they will fall this year.
    2
  6496. We may have to shut down all social media in November, tensions here will be THAT high.
    2
  6497. NOT a word from Stoltenberg or Macron or Biden or Blinken or Trudeau or anyone from NATO...
    2
  6498. Putin sent his surrender terms after the UN meeting last month and they were EXACTLY the same as the terms he sent in September, 2021 to avoid war in the first place. If that doesn't convince you that you wasted your time and money the past two years, there is no real hope to convince you as you are not rational.
    2
  6499. Washington Post put it up 30 minutes ago; the military blogosphere was right (again). Zelensky fired Zaluzhny.
    2
  6500. No, that was Mark Milley.
    2
  6501. Ukraine cost the German economy $700B in economic losses by bombing Nordstream 2; they had to buy LNG from the US at 4x the price. They are pissed"(but cant show it)...."
    2
  6502. If I lived on a street totally taken over by gangs, I'd negotiate with some bored ex-Special Forces to pay them to "take out the trash". Within a week, they'd know who the main leaders were, what their habits are, and erase them permanently from this Universe and not a soul would be the wiser.
    2
  6503. Another "game changer"? Russia counter it within three weeks....just like all the rest
    2
  6504. Ukrainians trying to save their people from annihilation
    2
  6505. 100 years ago Germany was a superpower respected across the globe. Now they are an example of craven weakness
    2
  6506. Did NOT know it had a machine gun between the 30mm autocannons! This is awesome!
    2
  6507. We know Ukraine just killed at least two CIVILIANS....
    2
  6508. At this point, Biden is like Kylo Ren in that stupid Star Wars movie where he aims 100 cannons at Luke Skywalker. After a 30 second barrage, not even a single hair on Luke's head has moved. "More.....more!......MORE!!!" 🤣
    2
  6509. The Western Media is ignoring the Donbas disaster to push the idea of "success" at Kursk. In reality Kursk is just an example of the mouse biting the cat's paw...."
    2
  6510. Does Haley know the cause of the Revolutionary War? WW1? Her answer on the Civil War was like answering the same question about WW2 and never once mentioning Japan.
    2
  6511. Probably why Russia has been bombing the airports in and around Kyiv the past few weeks. They took out five Su-24s last week alone.
    2
  6512. This is does smell like CIA, but it could be Putin staging a "false-flag" as well to make the US think Ukraine can't be trusted with weapons. It is an issue because if Ukraine uses NATO equipment to invade Russia proper, that is expressly forbidden by NATO when they gave them the equipment. If they use their own old ex-Soviet equipment to invade Russia, go right ahead. To invade Russia using American provided armored vehicles?? MAJOR PROBLEM!!! However, if "rebels" do it and not "Ukraine" maybe they can get away with it if they can convince CNN and BBC these "rebels" are actually Russian partisans and not Ukrainian Armed Forces?? See where this is going? 🙂
    2
  6513. Has NATO stepped in to increase the effectiveness of these Crimea attacks to try to increase Ukraine's bargaining postition since the Offensive has failed to do so?
    2
  6514. CNN itself publishes many "fake news" reports on this war, and has spewed lies for almost two years straight about the Ukraine war. Are we still "making gains" in Ukraine??? Is Russia still "running out of missiles"??? Don't just blame social media when CNN does exactly the same thing, for the same reasons.
    2
  6515. "criminal" --- so not being on-board with a Biden Administration FOREIGN POLICY decision to enable a proxy war with Russia, makes a US citizen a "criminal"??? FYJB!!!!
    2
  6516. You had peace and justice in 2022 in Istanbul for your people . As Vicky Nuland explained last week, NATO wasn't happy about it because it froze the US/UK out. You chose to make US/UK happy over what was good for your people ; the worst sin a leader can commit. Now, everything they promised you has turned to ash, and you're here begging us to save you from the consequences of the decision YOU made. My God, man up and take responsibility and stop groveling before us; have some self-respect..."
    2
  6517. The EU/US Left better heed all these warnings. They've pushed too far. Pull back from all this open border/trans kids/socialism for everyone path or we gonna see some real "let them eat cake" moments again in the West in our lifetimes.
    2
  6518. ?? Same thing happened in DC a couple years ago; just no tanks.
    2
  6519. This means NOTHING. Anyone watching the raid on Dnipro the other night probably noticed one thing: the sky was totally dark as each Russian missile hit. Not a single tracer or shell was seen being fired from the ground; Ukraine has no air defense in that city. Mil bloggers report the Su-34 has been flying 50 sorties a day, sometimes 70 in Luhansk and Zaporizhzhia. The FAB-500 satellite guided bombs they carry, which even NATO admits cannot be shot down, can travel 60 kilometers and hit with 500 kg (1100 pounds) of whoop-ass on AFU. Such blasts kill all life in a two football field radius from impact point, collapse lungs and shatter eardrums out another two football fields. A Su-34 carries two of them meaning over 100 of these are hitting Ukrainian troops EVERY DAY. If the sky now belongs to Russia as well, this is no longer a "war"----it becomes a massacre. The evacuation at Kupiansk sector was women and children only; ALL men (age 16+) could not leave. Boys and grandpas are going to be blown to bits under the Russian steamroller and where the fucc is the morality in that??
    2
  6520. Biden is old and his mind is gone. Austin and Milley have no excuse. How could anyone possibly think a few M777s some rockets and 100 tanks could beat Russia?? RUSSIA! The country that defeated two of the largest armies in history in Napoleon and Hitler! That took 20 MILLION dead and still did not negotiate!!
    2
  6521. He skillfully did NOT criticize Putin; only the Russian MoD (basically Shoigu his bitter rival). This is political maneuvering for post-war Russia, as clear a sign they know they will win as anything.
    2
  6522. Round 1 in Ukraine is over; just a reminder that Round 2 is going to be a lot different ..."
    2
  6523. That photo will be iconic of this war.
    2
  6524. In so many ways Ukraine reminds me of Germany in 1945. Still dangerous, but no realistic ability to stop the enemy offensives. No air cover at all for their ground forces. Low on ammo, fuel, and hardware. Most of all, a fanatically ultra-nationalist leader that would rather die resisting than admit defeat.
    2
  6525. If the Isolationist wing ousts him, they'll just get an even more extreme person to replace him.

  6526. I cannot wait until the day this cretin is no longer in Congress. How does the United States produce leaders like him??"
    2
  6527. Fareed Zakaria interviewed Zelensky a week ago and to his face said "you can never get Crimea or the territories back" and Zelensky didn't argue. Now, here's this parrot woman talking about that means "surrender". Shes more dangerous than Biden....
    2
  6528. 100% true. This is how they get that experience...
    2
  6529. You can clearly see the puffs in the water and on the sand as the cluster bomblets explode. You can see people in bathing suits fall as they try to run... Remember when Biden said "anyone who uses cluster munitions on civilians is a war criminal"?
    2
  6530. I mean, Avdiivka IS encircled. Many AFU are trapped inside and Russia IS bombing them. Which part do you feel is not believable??
    2
  6531. Let's all find out!!!"
    2
  6532. That took what, a day or two?? Is Chasiv Yar heavily fortified?
    2
  6533. There is no outcome to this where NATO gets what it wants while only spending money; and we all know NATO will only spend money. I'm really enjoying watching everything I said in 2021 come true. I am considering starting a history/geopolitical YT channel because if I am smarter than 98% of these "experts" , how can I fail? 😂
    2
  6534. I'm not even sure there's an issue that could move someone either way; they both are clearly defined in ways so far apart how can anyone need more information to "decide"?? I just want to hear Harris views on Ukraine war; if she says some BS like "we will do whatever it takes to defeat Russia" I'll mail my ballot for Trump tomorrow morning.
    2
  6535. As a child in the 80s, I was proud to live in a NATO country and read Tom Clancy thrillers that used NATO codenames for all Russia military equipment. Now, I am ashamed of NATO, and I no longer refer to any Russian military hardware by NATO names; Russia has earned the right for her weaponry to be called by their proper Russian names at all times.
    2
  6536. Russia is shattering the US war machine in Ukraine; no Abrams, Bradley, Maxxpro, M113, Stryker, or Humvee is safe.
    2
  6537. Alfa in a different league performance wise than Acura. Acura competes with Buick, not Alfa Romeo.
    2
  6538. what...
    2
  6539. Wow, a simple engine, a hooded instrument cluster, buttons and dials, $35K. Acura gone crazy and started listening to customers
    2
  6540. Well it's clear there won't be anything to show by the NATO Summit but lots of burned out Western hardware and Ukrainian dead bodies. NATO only cares about the former though
    2
  6541. Those DPR assault troops that took Avdeevka appear well fed, well trained, well led, and highly motivated. No amount of CNN propaganda can hide that when you watch all the vids and hear them speak and observe their demeanor. They know they are winning
    2
  6542. How will all our Big Ag companies get their investments back if Russia takes most of the land??
    2
  6543. Yeah just another in a long line of TOTAL Ukraine failures. Beyond tedious at this point; they are well past the point where they could just surrender with their heads high that they put up a good fight. They are a joke now...
    2
  6544. Saw this a couple weeks ago, either in Kursk or near Sumy. It was almost perfectly intact with the ERA bricks added by Ukraine.
    2
  6545. Just coming to check up on his "investment". Blinken is a demon in a $2500 suit. It was diplomats like he and Nuland among others that convinced Zelensky to fight two years ago instead of negotiate a settlement. They did this by promising to financially sustain Ukraine for the duration of the war, and provide all the weapons Ukraine would need. There would be no war but for men like this. Ukraine didn't even thank him for the $1B. Now, Blinken's little "pet" grows disdainful of its master; telling him "this money isn't a "gift", we EARNED this by doing your dirty work for you." This is as nauseating an example of naked Imperialist opportunism you are likely to see this century.
    2
  6546. To those of you that believe this BS, I have one question: When this is all over, will you be more angry at the Western Media that fed you this propaganda for 2+ years, or at yourself for being too lazy to spend 5 minutes to determine what the truth really was??"
    2
  6547. No surprise its a wyte guy.... Usual suspect for this type of crime. All about that control and being "the man'.
    2
  6548. Well that explains recent events: RU now has an Iskander detachment for every artillery unit engaged in the SMO . Iran and NK must have come through for RU to now have that many Iskanders at its disposal. I noticed a couple weeks ago they using them on individual Ukrainian tanks (which no one had seen before). Unstoppable, 1600km range, 1000kg of HE moving at Mach 6 hitting with 9m accuracy......"
    2
  6549. Its NATO that can't accept the loss of Ukraine. They had such grand plans for Ukraine, all the investments of ADM, Cargill, Monsanto, etc. If Ukraine loses, nato loses trillions
    2
  6550. RU need to stop behaving like AFU tiktok warriors and posting all their social media stuff. Both sides basically have spies all over each other's territory as they've been cousins for 1500 years.
    2
  6551. Remember six months ago Ukraine and the West teasing Russia about using "cope cages" against FPV drones? Half the AFU vehicles seen being blown up yesterday in Zaporizhzhia had----you guessed it----cope cage. Doesn't seem to help for side shot by ATGM tho....😂😂
    2
  6552. Not in Miami apparently! Watch all the following year the business will be howling mad about how much $$$ they lost this week and next year the Gestapo Tactics will be gone.
    2
  6553. Yet another example of how NATO did no planning or analysis before embarking on this blunder. Two years ago, NATO only provided shells and small tactical missiles, thinking that would be enough. Therefore a rule not to use them on Russia made sense (since "Russia" was hundreds of km from the front lines). Now that Russia has defeated all of NATO's efforts to date; turning every "game changer" into smoldering scrap metal, and now Russia is only 30 km from Kyiv and bombarding it with ease day and night, we have a reaction.
    2
  6554.  @zd5917  MoH recipients fight for the United States, not themselves. If you knew anything you'd know that. Extreme offense to compare at any level.
    2
  6555. "The War Powers Resolution (also known as the War Powers Resolution of 1973 or the War Powers Act) (50 U.S.C. ch. 33) is a federal law intended to check the U.S. president's power to commit the United States to an armed conflict without the consent of the U.S. Congress. The resolution was adopted in the form of a United States congressional joint resolution. It provides that the president can send the U.S. Armed Forces into action abroad only by declaration of war by Congress, "statutory authorization", or in case of "a national emergency created by attack upon the United States, its territories or possessions, or its armed forces". Just for our UK friends so in their eagerness they don't jump too soon. 🙂
    2
  6556. Sources say Russian planes are already in the air. It will be a really, really ugly morning we are going to wake up to.
    2
  6557. Vovchansk is Russian. AFU announced they are retreating from there... Can't blame them; they said at one point a FAB guided bomb was landing every 30 seconds on their positions in the southern part of the city,
    2
  6558. He must. There was a reason NATO didn't directly attack for 2+ years and now that they have, RU must respond..."
    2
  6559. They are acts of desperation: many military bloggers say that if the ground offensive had succeeded, this offensive drone power would be used to support it. Since it failed, the fallback tactic is to send them to Moscow where they do a little damage but change nothing. Someone in the Ukrainian government needs to pull a Caligula or Caesar and shank Zelensky in a dark corner. Ukraine is about to send their young women, the only way they can even have a future, into the meat grinder: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3NLPYntIVnI&lc=UgxIvMwEKlGkl31Dgvd4AaABAg.9sEXEO9bPu79sEYYRKRbAY That is obscene.
    2
  6560. That video is incredible. I've never seen a weapon like that and I'm 52. Today with cameras everywhere, the chance of catching something like this is many times higher than the 70s - 90s during peak of the Cold War. I first read about "rods from God" type weapon in 1984 when Reagan announced the "Star Wars" defense initiative. I just saw it this morning in 2024....
    2
  6561. NATO has done more in this strike to "directly attack Russia" than the accidental drone parts in Romania were "directly attacking NATO". Has NATO stepped in to increase the effectiveness of these Crimea attacks to try to increase Ukraine's bargaining postition since the Offensive has failed to do so?
    2
  6562. LOL. Are the lights in Ukraine even on at the moment??
    2
  6563. Just some payback for the gas station and night vision factory explosions last week in Russia. Russia always pays its debts....
    2
  6564. I'm totally against NATO but that did not look AT ALL like a Leopard tank (or any tank) to me when I saw the vid yesterday. I don't even blame the Ka-52 pilot for blowing it up; if I'm defending against attack and I'm over enemy territory and see that big thing in my sights I would blast it too. It looks like Ukraine is shooting its full NATO wad (finally), so I'm sure a Leopard or two have been hit, but this vid wasn't one of them.
    2
  6565. Omg such lies!!! I can easily point to Three Years of Western media lies that Ukraine could "win"!! 😂😂😂
    2
  6566. Sure it can. Just move to where it can.
    2
  6567.  @netiturtle  what about the troll farms in Ukraine funded by US taxpayers like me ; don't they count???"
    2
  6568. It won't go nuclear. However you do have a point: Make these "bipartisans" and their families sign up for the Ukraine Foreign Brigade.
    2
  6569. Macron showing signs of panic; no number of pretty words or spin can hide that. Everyone thought US aid was just a formality; most of the Western world now shocked to find out that Biden is not a dictator and Congress has to approve money being spent for anything at the Federal level. Not everyone in the US agrees with this proxy war policy.
    2
  6570. "Its few aircraft"?? Hahahaha, OMG , please....stop.... ahahahahah! Russia has over 1500 combat aircraft, including 700 to 800 fighters. Ahahahahah!!!!
    2
  6571. Getting Iran is one of the few things both DEM and GOP world builders agree on. They are hoping, praying even for Iran to act in a way that they can respond how they want (and it won't look like they are the aggressor at the U.N.)...."
    2
  6572. Multiple high-order secondary detonations. Tomorrow Ukraine will say the building was a decoy...."
    2
  6573. Vicky Nuland didn't want Zelensky to fire Zaluzhzhny, but he did it anyway. Now, she suddenly "resigns" and the next day Zelensky makes Zaluzhzhny an ambassador to UK. Somehow I think she didn't want him to do that either. Biden's "attack dog" is no longer obeying its master...
    2
  6574. I have been a WW2 warbird buff since 1980 and this is the first I have ever seen (or even heard of) such a plane. My goodness those German engineers never sleep!!
    2
  6575. Scaring a Russian citizen is going to take A LOT more than a few firecrackers
    2
  6576. You are either Ukraine MoD, or insane. Or both....
    2
  6577. Now that they've seen the bill, a Ukrainian MP called it "crumbs from the Master's table" 😂 Gonna be like the spring of 1945 here soon
    2
  6578. The Zteamroller never pauses...
    2
  6579. People have been asking for a Stelvio between the base and the Quad for three years; here ya go. Entry level Grecale: About 10% more hp/tq and far more luxury with all the goodness of a Stelvio for about $65K US. This will compete very well in the lease wars with Macan and X3/X4 and that is exactly what Maserati needs to do: MOVE PRODUCT.
    2
  6580. Russia just made their ultimatum to Biden/Zelensky clear this week. Lavrov delivered it at the UN, their State Duma just ratified it a couple of days ago. Why would their offensive be "unlikely" if they just gave an ultimatum "capitulate on our terms or Ukraine cease to exist as independent State". Those are their words, not mine.
    2
  6581. If they can walk past the Marder in safety, that thing has probably already been dragged out and is on a semi headed to Mariupol.
    2
  6582. The reason it surprised everyone (and I do mean everyone ) is because it's been against NATO policy for 2+ years for AFU to send Western-donated weapons into Russia. Very simple. A "surprise" attack, because NATO changed its own "rules"...." A bit like Japan sending the Declaration of War to Washington as the bombs were falling on Pearl ...."
    2
  6583. The "Victory Plan" is to get the US to beat Russia for him. Just that simple. That's why he so public "I'm going to present my plan to Biden"....he wants the world to know. "If I lose, its because you wouldn't help me win"
    2
  6584. NK has had 10s of thousands of guns pointed at SK longer than most reading this have been alive. A few thousand extra artillery plus a million shells doesn't sound very exotic, but adding that to what Russia already has in the annexed regions, would basically turn that land into the surface of the Death Star.
    2
  6585. NATO won't try something like this again for 100 years. That is good for the world; imagine if NATO had succeeded in this. Imagine the precedent that would have set. The next five US Presidents would have tried a proxy war to get what they want.
    2
  6586. Dodge got the looks right; not hard to do as this is an Alfa Romeo design and they probably make the most beautiful cars on Earth (as do most Italian makers). HOWEVER, Stellantis' recent efforts on PHEV is not exactly stellar; Jeep 4xe nightmares don't really give you the warm fuzzy. Also while ZF has a great reputation, this 9HP trans does not as it got a bad reputation in early FCA products a few years back. The 2.0T motor itself is stout; six years now in the US and you don't see any Stelvios or Giulias throwing rods or self-disassembling like a Kia. This is lease-only imho, at least until we've had 50K of them running around for 4 or 5 years. As to all the muscle-heads crying about it being Italian underneath, wait until they realize the upcoming Challenger EV will be on a ----- FRENCH ----- platform originally designed by Peugeot. 🙂
    2
  6587. Putin made no announcement of Christmas cease-fire like last year. Wouldn't matter since Ukraine just said they aren't Orthodox anymore right? Let the hypersonic washing machines fly...
    2
  6588. This must be one of the "surprises" Vicky Nuland was saying that Putin wouldn't like Tuesday when she arrived in Kyiv. She rushed there, of course, to save Zelensky from Zaluzhny...... Oh, hadn't you heard?
    2
  6589. Two more Leopard 2s confirmed dead at Robotyne today...Marder upside down in a ditch, and Stryker blazing from end to end. For day 82, Fortress Zaporizhzhia holds!
    2
  6590. You should have joined up with Ukraine and attack Belgorod yourself...
    2
  6591. Gawd Dayum-----that interior would almost make up for the jellybean exterior for me. Even the interior of an upper end Taycan looks like 1996 Kia compared to this. Everyone says never buy an EV, only lease them because things are changing too fast and I think I agree. Imagine buying a Taycan Turbo a year ago and then you see this. Comparing this to a Plaid is a cruel joke; I'm sure MB could strip out 1000 pounds of quality and knock 1.5 seconds off that 0-60 but then it wouldn't be a Benz. In terms of quality this is in an alternate Universe from a Tesla. Only a Lucid Air is even in the same conversation and with MB's 120 year head start on build quality, the EQS is on the stage while the Air is serving drinks. Only that jellybean shape is a problem for me. If Stellantis can get an EV Maserati Quattroporte Trofeo equivalent to this by '24, with gorgeous Italian beauty, butter soft red leather, and carbon fiber trim, I will officially open my arms and welcome the EV Future.
    2
  6592. Both of my parents were from Jamaica, and people have been asking me if I'm really "black" for 45 years. What Trump is trying to do is distinguish "African American" (i.e., descendant of American slaves) from all other Black immigrants who have come to this country of their own choice (which, tbh, didn't really take place to any significant degree until beginning in the 1950s)." President Coolidge's Immigration Act of 1924 made it all but impossible for a non-European to legally immigrate to the US. It is a common theme among white's of Trump's generation; that a black person who legally immigrated to the United States is "different" than a black person who is a descendant of slaves. That theme doesn't work anymore as virtually all who subscribed to it are now in Valhalla..."
    2
  6593. Who have we "helped"???
    2
  6594. The West (mostly United States) is the reason. No "regime change" or "rules based order" threats from NATO when you have nukes.
    2
  6595. Russia is fighting the weapons of thirty (30!) plus different countries. Imagine the absolute treasure trove of operational, signal, and physical intelligence they are gathering! It isn't just the old cast-off NATO stuff they are fighting; it is very modern drones, JDAMs, Panzerfaust 3's, CAESAR artillery, etc. They are learning all the operational parameters, frequency ranges, capturing many wrecked or intact examples to study, etc. When this war is over Russia will have the world's greatest single source of combat intelligence for decades to come; they'll integrate this knowledge into their designs, sell it to China, Iran, and NK who will improve their weapons. The legacy of this stupid war will still be felt in 2073...
    2
  6596. Ouch!! Gonna need more than a Band-Aid at 8:57 ....
    2
  6597. @maxwolf8055 Ok, that's not enough to counter-attack unless they are part of a larger force.
    2
  6598. Wagner is TRAINING 50,000 Belorussian soldiers, oh and Belarus now has nukes where Poland does not.
    2
  6599. Dude, I started looking for more accurate news on this war two months ago. At this point I can't even watch news reports about it on MSM.
    2
  6600. The fraud was always on the Indian side....scam artists will betray their own mothers...."
    2
  6601. Dude Hyundai EVs are selling for $70K. $75K for this is like getting it for free!!
    2
  6602. Nothing happens in a vacuum: For almost three years the Biden Administration has brought nothing but suffering to the world. Since 2020, what is the most common word in US Foreign Policy? Warn We warn China, warn Iran, warn Russia, warn Niger, warn Venezuela; never listen , never understand . When we show up, power is the only language we speak, and threats the only words we seem to know...."
    2
  6603. No, they didn't. Liar.
    2
  6604. LOL, he was about to "gaffe" and he knew it. He was like "nahh, if I say that isht the whole story will be about that instead of what is important";....we are gonna get a lot done!
    2
  6605. Imagine the complete arrogance of a reporter from a country you aren't at war with, riding across your border with an invading army, no passport, no visa, just strolls in like your borders, your country, your people don't matter. If that isn't an example of NATO attitude towards Russians, nothing else is...."
    2
  6606. IDF just said they were not aiming at the church, but admit their JDAM "knocked down the wall of the church". Like that matters....
    2
  6607. If this F-16 thing pulls NATO into the war it's time to impeach Biden. Germany is clearly signaling they are done with this foolish proxy war, France opted out a year ago. Leaving only us....the day Biden announces US troops are going into Ukraine is the day he must be impeached. This has gone on long enough.
    2
  6608. Stupid NATO leaders believed they could do what Napoleon, Bismarck, and Hitler could not. Thats why all of them voted out of office because their stupidity was not in just one area....they were stupid in all areas
    2
  6609. I don't blame his inner circle covering for him; they are supposed to cover for their guy. I do blame the rest of the DEM establishment (and their mouthpiece media like CNN) for letting it go on this long without confronting it. We've been watching Biden stumble off planes, walk like a zombie, stare off into space, and speak nonsense for 2+ years now. Had they prepared before he could have gone out on his terms and forever be remembered for taking the "high road". Now, he will have to be dragged out kicking and screaming, reaching new levels of indignity along the way...
    2
  6610. West has been in power too long and its gone to their heads. They treat everyone non-Western like they exist only to serve the West. If BRICS succeeds, a hundred other nations will flock to them like moths to a flame. The world has long wanted an alternative to EU and American exploitation
    2
  6611. Putin actually announced this in Russia quietly back in October; he waitied until after his re-election was secure to now publicly announce it to the world. Russia is going to carve out a 30km or so deep "DMZ" all along their border with Ukraine right out of AFU's hide....
    2
  6612. Remember the movie "The Winter Soldier" and Cap had to stop the launch of a weapon that could take out all enemies worldwide whenever desired?
    2
  6613. Anyone not blinded by hatred for Putin or the propaganda of NATO knew there is no way Ukraine could defeat Russia. Napoleon and Hitler couldn't defeat Russia. Even NATO knew it too; just listen to the words of Blinken this week saying the same thing he said 18 months ago. "Opportunity to degrade Russia's military"---his words not mine. US NEVER expected (or tried) to "win". Just weaken Russia as much as possible. Putin, of course knows this, which is why he never once broke a sweat. This damned war is over. The Abrams will never arrive as Biden realizes it'll just burn on the field like the Leopard 2/Challenger 2. The Germans just today "delaying" a decision on the taurus missile----yeah because they know it won't make a hill of beans of difference. No need to delay calling it; this is over and Russia has won.
    2
  6614. For Kirby to directly address this specific type of NK weapon (when everyone already knows NK shells artillery rockets are being provided), means US is very concerned. At first I thought maybe the NK KN-25 MLRS had showed up
    2
  6615. speak for yourself. My taxes belong to Americans not to Ukrainians...."
    2
  6616. Israel is as aggressive as the United States now; not surprising after Lloyd Austin's clear message a couple weeks back that basically "Israel is the United States, and the United States is Israel". As the pre-eminent power in the Galaxy, the US fears no one; and by extension, neither does Israel...."
    2
  6617. hmmm, three days ago it was 1000 km2.....they are slowing..."
    2
  6618. Biden looks like he is barely alive
    2
  6619. "looks guilty" = words of those who have 60 IQ.
    2
  6620. Putin told Scholz "no concessions" ; NATO started it and have no one to blame but themselves. True.
    2
  6621. So Shoigu ALLOWED AFU to mass in Krinky to lure them into a larger operation, THEN he unleashed the night-vision drones? So Russia tunneled under the AFU strongpoint, and set off explosives (just like in US Civil War 160 years ago) to blow a hole in their defenses? Tactically, Russia has been dominating Ukraine all year.
    2
  6622. They didn't get the NSX right until the last year----stupid. When it came out it was too soft; the lead designer was a woman and I'm sure she is a great engineer, but women do not buy fast supercars, men do. The original design lacked any aggression; the Type S was the way it should have looked an by then it was too late to matter. The C8 is a technical masterpiece but its looks are a isht-show.
    2
  6623. LOL. The "impregnable" has been impregnated....
    2
  6624. If RU and US can talk with FIVE OTHER COUNTRIES to arrange something like this, they can ** well talk enough to end the war. One side just doesn't want to..."
    2
  6625. NY Times today: "...when the gains from both sides are added up, Russia has gained 200 sq. miles more than Ukraine has since the start of the year.." Oh, and Russia has launched no "Grand Spring Offensive" this year. Ouch.
    2
  6626. Russia is fighting 30 to 1, against an alliance that has given its enemy weaponry the value of which exceeds it's entire annual defense budget. Yet a general is upset there are not enough of everything to utterly destroy his foe? Russians do long, slow, grinding victory very well; they take pride in it actually. As a Russian he should know that.
    2
  6627. No video of the blasted and burning Challenger 2 near Robotyne?😂
    2
  6628. That is not true that Europe is only paying "a small fraction". Germany alone has lost over $700B in economic value to its economy due to the destruction of Nordstream by the Biden Administration and Ukraine working together. That is by far the largest "loss" of any single Western country involved.
    2
  6629. After two + years of insanity; people becoming sane again..."
    2
  6630. I really feel badly for Ukraine. They are about to embark on a pitched battle offensive in the Zaporizhizhia region (based on estimates of 40K AFU troops massing there), undoubtedly this is where all the Leopards, AMX-10s, and Bradley's are as well. However, the Russians have at least 100K in that region alone with 200K more all along the Separatist Front. Plus at least 200 T-90s and at least that many T-80BV tanks, plus a massive advantage in artillery and air power. All waiting for Ukraine; and Ukraine has to try-----they can't have spent the last year begging for all this equipment and not bother to use it. Germany has almost bankrupted itself, and Biden may not even be around in 18 months-----they have to roll the dice soon. Russia will be waiting for them. When the smoke clears, Ukraine will have inflicted a lot of losses on Russia, but will have lost all 40K of their best troops and there will be no more Leopards, AMXs, and Bradleys. That's it. The war is over and Russia wins.
    2
  6631. Bingo!!
    2
  6632. People sneer at high-end makes until they actually buy one and realize why they cost more than a Chevy. You are driving a Jag and wondering why it costs significantly more than a Tesla, Ford, Hyundai, or Kia??? That's like driving a Bentley and wondering why it costs more than a Buick.
    2
  6633. How many did Joe Biden get last week with the ATACMS cluster shell attack on the Crimean sunbathers?? Kids were hit on that beach
    2
  6634. Same thing...
    2
  6635. These three should talk to Putin themselves and leave out the US and UK who have huge investments in Ukraine food production and plans for new naval and missile bases. France , Germany and Poland had no such plans so they can be more rational actors than nations who themselves lose when Ukraine loses
    2
  6636. NATO changed the weapons use policy; donated weapons now have no restrictions on their use. "
    2
  6637. Even after two weeks of rest some still come back angry and armed up....
    2
  6638. 45 million at least
    2
  6639. There are no more operational thermal power plants left in Ukraine; RU destroyed them all. Only the four NPP remain in operation....
    2
  6640. US vs. weaklings...
    2
  6641. Nahh, S-300, Buk, and Pantsir shoot this thing down like any other missile.
    2
  6642. Yeah, she looks sane...

  6643. NATO BS. Bomb our Amazon orders? Trust me, if Russia wants to get back at the US/UK (and they do), they won't do it like this. This sounds more like Ukraine intelligence to blame something, anything on Russia to get somebody, anybody to come into the war to help them.

  6644. The Kursk Army Group----based in Kursk-----moving forward to confront this incursion is not "redeploy"...."
    2
  6645. In 2015 Obama refused to arm Ukraine to fight Russia because he said "Russia has escalatory dominance". No matter what US gives Ukraine, Russia can always go one step further, negating any advantage. To him, arming Ukraine would just guarantee it's destruction.
    2
  6646. yes but no "right" to free weapons from US taxpayer.

  6647. Houthis have a more powerful weapon than the United States of America. Just let that sink in... US Navy going to have to get that carrier out of the Red Sea immediately. They cannot risk a supercarrier being destroyed by the Houthis.

  6650. Those "pincers" are now, what about 4 km apart?? Lethal radius of FAB-1500 is about 1.5 km; so RU should just drop 2 FABs on that "gap" every hour for the next week or so.
    2
  6651. You just know those guys in suits around Putin are some of the deadliest killers on the earth. Ex-Spetznaz, GRU, with years of combat experience all over the world, mastery of any weapon you can name, etc.

  6652. It must be a fat juicy target if a Kinzhal is being ordered up...
    2
  6653. A lot of what Ukraine wants they could have gotten via negotiation. Ok, maybe not Crimea, but parts of Donbas definitely, and maybe other areas as well. Who knows? They never even tried. Zelensky listened to Biden/Nuland/Blinken and gambled he could take whole by force, what Russia was willing to divide. Bad choice. This General is yet another neo-con who still supports that view. They are the "despicable" ones.
    2
  6654. What's that like the 2nd or 3rd "coup attempt" over the past couple of months?? One of these days they are going to succeed and the war will be over the next day.

    2
  6657. Still no evidence but doctored videos??
    2
  6658. I am a nobody, and I said in October, 2021 this would be the eventual outcome if Biden armed Ukraine for a war with Russia instead of negotiating. If millions of people like me knew this, the mighty elites knew this. So why did they go ahead and try anyway??"
    2
  6659. Really trying to understand why SK is making such a noisy stink. They aren't in NATO, aren't involved in the war, aren't being affected in any way. Yet suddenly they on the world stage making threats and warnings like they are part of all this. Why they trying to impress the US??
    2
  6660. Are we allowed to ask the obvious questions? Or, just pretend as if they couldn't possibly ever be involved in this??
    2
  6661. Drone biggest weakness is control signal can be jammed. Once the drones can fly themselves through trees and under tents, its over. Skynet is reality.
    2
  6662. Russia has 1500 combat aircraft to Ukraine 97. 30 or 40 F-16s will have zero effect on the outcome. Even 100 F-16s would just increase Russia's costs of victory a bit, but they will win all the same.
    2
  6663. My first BMW was a 1991 525i that I bought in 1996 with 60K miles. I was not a "gearhead" at the time but I knew enough to get the oil changed every 5K miles. The only thing I ever replaced on that car were the front shocks when they wore out. I sold it to a friend in 2001 with 120K miles on it; original water pump, AC compressor, alternator, etc. I never changed the trans fluid, brake fluid, power steering fluid, not even the brake rotors. It never leaked, rattled, made funny sounds, spewed blue smoke, shifted hard or shuddered. An absolute TANK of a car. Once BMW stopped making them like that, I stopped buying them.
    2
  6664. I honestly cannot think of any. MSM says the sea drones are a "game changer" but I don't think they are. Today all the Western media is shouting "Urozhaine" but we all here know that is just another step closer to the Tokmak meat grinder. There is word the Challenger and Marder and Strykers are coming out to fight but Strykers were blown up in Afghanistan easy enough and I can't see a Marder doing more than a Bradley. Maybe the Challenger will be up to the "challenge"?
    2
  6665. Of course Russians did it. Payback for Nordstream.
    2
  6666. The word "ISIS" almost non-existent from the world's news for three years and all of a sudden out of the clear blue sky they appear out of nowhere to attack-----Russia??? The only major country actually trying to reign in Israel, supports Iran, etc.??? Of course it was Ukraine-NATO; only a fool would believe otherwise.
    2
  6667. US DoD now admits "Spring Offensive" has failed, is now planning for a restart in the Fall. The "Peace" summit in Jeddah, was instigated by the US in March/April, and timed to coincide with what was hoped would be significant Ukrainian gains by now, will obviously either be canceled or be a waste of time. In other words, Biden hoped by now Russia would be on her knees, and Jeddah would be where he and his lapdog Zelensky would dictate terms to a humiliated Putin. I guess we'll all be back here in November after Russia has smashed all the Abrams tanks. See ya'll then! 🙂
    2
  6668. Just like in US. When Trump shocked the world and beat Hillary in 2016, the Far Left was so stunned they came out in droves to make sure that didn't happen again in 2020. Pendulum about to swing the other way in 2024 tho...
    2
  6669. I wish I could donate money to Russia; that's how much I think Biden and the Democrats are wrong on this one. 20 years ago I felt Bush was a warmonger for what he did to Iraq. I feel like there are people "behind the curtains" in the Biden Admin. pushing for this to destroy Russia.
    2
  6670. "Ukraine is destroyed because of Republican infighting..." LOL! That's like the DEMs spilling the milk, then blaming the GOP for not helping cleaning it up before Dad gets home, walks in, slips on the milk and goes to the hospital with a concussion.

  6671. Polish troops been there since day one
    2
  6672. As I child I imagined that the world would be more peaceful if women were all world leaders. In school, boys fought 90% of the time more than girls did. Vicky Nuland is proof positive, that even if all women led the planet, it would not be the end of war. If there is a such thing as a Sith Lord behind all the troubles of the world the last decade, it would be this woman.

    2
  6675. Americans haven't been "civil" since probably the 1990s; I'd say 1996 was the end of civility. We are vulgar, nasty people now and thats why Trump can be vulgar and nasty and no one cares. Shipping 20 million illegal immigrants out of the country will absolutely look vulgar and nasty; people will wail and cry and say "this is cruelty!". Trump is the right man to do what must be done
    2
  6676. Those drone bombs make me think of the running robot bombs from "The Creator"
    2
  6677. The beginning of the End..."
    2
  6678. Zelensky said "tough isht" when he bombed the family coming home from the beach on the Kerch bridge. All is fair in love and war. Blinken went to Kyiv so that Erdogan could update him on the details of his meeting with Putin. Putin told Erdogan yesterday: "No peace in our time. Cry "Havoc", and let slip the dogs of war..."
    2
  6679. What difference will it make? The 47th Mechanized getting all the Bradleys and Abrams are being shredded every day all year; same machines in Azov hands = same result
    2
  6680. Of course they change the rules for Ukraine; the UN is run by and for the benefit of the West and the West is at war via its client State Ukraine, with the Russian Federation. I mean NATO is paying all of Ukraine's public sector salaries, pensions, the Army, Police, Fire, etc. including politicians like Zelensky himself. Russia knows it won't stop Zelensky from speaking, but their objection is now a matter of record and yet another example of Western hypocrisy. Russia always plays the long game....always...
    2
  6681. My wife enjoyed it, which means the movie was NOT aimed at history nerds. No one would go see a movie that was just a fancy documentary, so I was not expecting that. At one point my wife asked "why did he win so much?" because the movie doesn't get into the details of military strategy (and I'm sure that was on purpose). It wasn't great, but it was good.

  6685. There is a point at which people need to stay and make their home better. Look at how many doctors the NHS is taking from Nigeria. That's good for ONE doctor, but terrible for the rest of Nigeria...."
    2
  6686. How the fuk can anyone give Ukraine a "timeframe" when at this very moment they are losing a war for their very existence?? Putin will glass the Ukrainian Steppe before he allows NATO to occupy it.
    2
  6687. Better safe than sorry. Those are way too expensive to risk.
    2
  6688. Its no surprise wars start in Slavic countries, WW1, WW2, now WW3 all the same origins. They are just combative culture; easy to anger, easy to take offense, quick to resort to violence. NATO is using that trait to its advantage.
    2
  6689. Russia just waiting for a good reason (that will be compelling at the UN), to put an Iskander into a military target on French, Polish, or British soil. I can tell you as soon as that happens, these EU pups will quiet down.
    2
  6690. Literally NO other news sources anywhere say this. 100% typical Ukraine/CNN propaganda as we've heard and seen for three years now. 😂😂😂
    2
  6691. All Westerner know this; they all dont like Putin or Russians in general. They know it was never about Ukrainians
    2
  6692. How else does a country get $200B in money and weapons from 50 different countries (more than the countries' annual GDP), and lose?? Answer: about $50B of it is in the pockets of the elite.
    2
  6693. Krinky Part Deux. 100% to get some PR value...." Niger just officially broke diplomatic ties with Ukraine; a country that itself may or may not exist is already interfering in the affairs of foreign countries. They are becoming another "the country that cannot be named"...."
    2
  6694. Wagner's problem has never been with Putin, its with the Military brass and the "elites". It is a class conflict; Russia's wealthy are well known to be sitting this war out letting the poorer classes (and convicts) do all the fighting and dying. Prigozhin may be rich now, but he was born dirt poor; he is not an "elite" and he has called the wealthy out many times. This is why Prigozhin was so angry about his force being folded into the Military. Most of the Wagner core are ex-Russian military anyway and I believe most are patriots first, mercs second so my guess is they'll get in line. Shoigu's review of the battle line today is a visible symbol of him being in charge and as a "thank you" to the Army who did NOT even waver Saturday. They chose Shoigu and their Commander in Chief over Prigozhin.
    2
  6695. "...but only in defense of Kharkiv..." LOL. What surreal madness is this? A proxy war whose restrictions change battle by battle?? This is Vietnam all over again but this time NATO is "America". So when Russia wins this battle, the restriction goes back to what it was yesterday??
    2
  6696. Everyone.
    2
  6697. I'm not really sure anymore what NATO is trying to accomplish at this point. Everyone knows the whole "push Russia out of Crimea and the Republics, blahh, blahh" is never going to happen in a thousand years, and Russia is far stronger now than it was in 2021. NATO is publicly pulling cash and telling Zelensky to talk; so what is their desired outcome now?
    2
  6698.  @PeterSedesse  I knew that, because it was reported last Tuesday that Putin sided with Shoigu that Wagner should be under military control. Knowing Prigozhin's well-documented public history, I knew he wouldn't take that laying down. I didn't know exactly what he'd do, but a loud, very public spectacle in order to get what he wants? Yep, I knew that was coming. I'm a nobody and the CIA didn't "know" anything more than I did.
    2
  6699. 90% of the women under 30 driving a newer RR are doing Onlyfans for $3-6K a month, plus working the pole at night for another $2-4K a week. A shag here and there for their "regulars" and those women are pulling $200K a year, most of it tax free. A RR is like a Civic to them.

  6701. Last week we sent $3.9B of our tax money to Ukraine to pay their salaries and pensions, and here we are can't even get our own astronauts back to earth. Biden priorities always seem to be everyone other than Americans....
    2
  6702. Boris got really mad by Carlson exposing him; he called Carlson a "traitor" today. Strange as Carlson is a US citizen, and the US is not at war, right?
    2
  6703. Biden War 1.
    2
  6704. His nationalism is what is destroying his country. Zelensky is a fool to think he can trust NATO; they only use him and his people to get back at Putin, not because they care about his "freedom". Erdogan was asked just yesterday if he trusts Russia and he said " I trust Russia and the West about the same."...and he has 20+ yeara dealing with NATO Ouch.
    2
  6705. This meeting has nothing to do with Ukraine; that war is already won. Russia by itself is already producing almost 3 times as many shells as US and EU combined. This meeting is about the world after the Ukraine war. NATO may take the "L" on this first round, but they are making sure that doesn't happen in round 2 or round 3. Putin, fully aware of this, is shoring up his supply chain AND making sure NK is a stronger ally 3 years from now.
    2
  6706. Biden is shoveling A LOT of money and weapons out the door to Ukraine the last month. Some is just what's left from the $61B approved last Spring, but I just read he gave $20B from seized Russian assets to the World Bank where Ukraine can use it. I've read that World Bank money cannot be used for weapons; is that true?
    2
  6707. Why is Zelensky attacking Russians early warning radars for long range ballistic missile detection??? They have no such weapons, so why would they waste resources trying to destroy such targets?? Ask Stoltenberg, he knows
    2
  6708. They copied AM like everything else they make. I'd be embarrassed to drive a cheap copy but that's me. You do you.

  6709. Well, regardless of the truth, that's the end of prisoner swaps. I think the truth is in that obvious result; somebody probably wanted the POW exchanges to end.
    2
  6710. So just like the Abrams?
    2
  6711. 24 hours and all quiet on the NATO front. Two days ago, before "Oreshnik", Zelensky on TV showing off ATACMS being fired at Russia, UK proudly showing Storm Shadow footage, Starmer running his mouth, everyone in NATO "fucc yeah! We bombing Russia!" Now. Today. Silence.

  6712. I wouldn't go that far; they just epically incompetent.

  6713. Somebody has to start stopping this cycle of war.

  6714. I am in the US and here the Tesla gets all the news when it comes to EVs. I do not like Tesla's at all; their poor quality and interiors just completely turn me off. I'm 48 so I've had many well built vehicles over the last 25 years and when I sit in a Model 3 or Y I feel like I'm in the cheap economy car I had in college. When I see these Audi E-Tron reviews, I drool-----they are MAGNIFICENT! When I go EV, Audi will be FIRST on my list.
    2
  6715. For Biden and Starmer to go hard at the last minute when voters clearly chose Trump and de-escalation, is the height of craven cowardice. History will not remember them well; if there is any more history....
    2
  6716. Just add the tab to the $600 BILLION loss Germany's economy has suffered due to the NATO proxy war.
    2
  6717. Zel believed his own lie; that he wasn't a proxy...that he was "Churchill" not just another puppet government. Had he just accepted it, he'd realize that as a puppet, if things change in your sponsor's politics, they may change for you too. Trump won, he now has new "string pullers"; make the best of it. Trump wants money in exchange for the weapons and protection you need to survive. Give it to him. What's the big deal? Oh, you actually thought you were the President of an independent nation....seriously??
    2
  6718. I swear to Christ in Heaven the Western Media is so full of isht I almost can't stand it. Ukraine did not withdraw ; they were routed and suffered massive losses while fleeing the complete encirclement of the city . It was a disaster. Period.
    2
  6719. I'm not going to judge him until I know the whole story. During my divorce in 2008 there were at least three times my wife did or said something that made me start to see red. I could see in my minds eye just unleashing havoc on her; but I controlled myself as I knew I'd regret it if I lost control. I'd go to jail. My kids would see something they'd never forget. I'd lose my job. Too much to lose for the brief pleasure of well-earned retribution. I'm 49 now, married 10 years to a great woman, kids in college. I'm out of the "danger zone" when it comes to women. Thank God.

  6723. Lol. The standard copium after every loss
    2
  6724. The gloves are starting to come off. Ukraine is openly just shelling residential areas in Belgorod (nowhere near a military base or unit). Russia could have carpet-bombed Kyiv a year ago but never has; that may change soon. Kosovo flaring up. Do people realize if this isht doesn't stop MILLIONS, not a few tens of thousands are going to die?? Russia has a flipping point: Ukraine in NATO means the US will put their "Aegis Ashore" missiles into Ukraine, turning Russia into America's slave. They can't allow that. Remember Cuban Missile Crisis when America was ready to go to war to prevent USSR from doing exact same thing?? THAT is the true trigger. Start putting pressure on NATO to back off from this threat in some way and the war will stop growing in intensity!
    2
  6725. Denmark??? All these little weak Euro-isht countries want "Ukraine to be able to use their free million dollar missiles anyway they want"? Why don't they give Ukraine the missiles and the targeting data? Why doesn't Denmark give Ukraine missiles and program them? These little ishts wouldn't be anything without the United States, but they all running their mouths about what we should do (when the Russian response will fall on us, not them). My kids are not going to be sacrificed for Zelensky

  6726. There is a drone hovering over a Pantsir-S1 and spotting for HIMARS, and the Pantsir cannot detect it. That is crazy. Your AA system can't see an A sitting right over it.

  6727. Russia gave Biden/Zelensky one last chance a week ago at the U.N. Stop resisting, let's negotiate something, and end the war. Biden/Zelensky said no....

  6728. Interesting that its a mutation related to melanin. Lack of melanin in their skin is what makes them so pale they have to cover themselves or use sunscreen their entire lives. The sun is literally lethal to such people; their skin cancer rates in Norway are among the highest in the world. The closer they move to the equator, melanoma would wipe them out within a few centuries. They can only safely exist where they are while humans with melanin have no such restrictions. Blonde/blue people are mutants
    2
  6729. For $24K, no I am not shocked it is FWD only. Not only does it keep the price down, it keeps the weight down too. 162 lb ft at 2500 rpm is enough for a vehicle that weighs 3100 lbs.
    2
  6730. I have no idea how long this will last but it honestly doesn't really make a difference unless you need to buy a car (and don't have one to trade in). Anyone who has a car, has seen its value go up, which offsets the increased cost of whatever they want to buy. The person that is buying a car for the first time is the one that is really hurt. 3 years ago I bought a 2017 sedan for $23K and today the trade in value on it is $31K----with 20K more miles on it. Ridiculous!
    2
  6731. This is embarrassing and to the point it is robbing Biden of his dignity. Stop making a spectacle of him; the DEM party "Star Chamber" that pulls all the strings for that side of the aisle must do something and SOON.
    2
  6732. This is Prigozhin vs. the "elites" and this was going to happen no matter what (I guessed after the war was over though). Just last week Putin sided with Shoigu that Wagner must come under Army control (the right decision). Putin chose the "elites" and this is what has set Prigozhin off. Putin is no fool; he knows that once the war is over he cannot have an independent force of 30K to 40K battle-hardened shock troops just sitting around with nothing to do and not under Army jurisdiction. He made a choice, and in doing so gave Prigozhin one: fold your army into the military or be destroyed. Prigozhin just chose....and my guess is Putin already had a "cleanup crew" and plan in place for exactly this situation should it be necessary.
    2
  6733. Meanwhile: "Ukrainian Air Force has confirmed that their air defenses are unable to intercept and shoot down Russian missiles and drones despite top-notch Western defensive systems in service." "Ukrainian Air Force spokesman Colonel Yurii Ihnat said that "seven aircraft and up to eight launches of Kh-22 cruise missiles" at Odesa Oblast. Three nights of attacks on Odesa, 17-20 July, have been successful due to the less advanced systems protecting city compared Kyiv. Out of nineteen cruise missiles fired, Ukraine only intercepted five on 20 July. The Kh-22 missiles cannot be shot down due to their speed. Yurii Ihnat, spokesman for the Ukrainian Air Force, said that “What could be shot down is being shot down,” Looks like it isn't just Odessa that is defenseless, last night over Dnipro there was not even a single AA shell or missile in the dark sky as the Kh-22s arrived one by one. It looked like that old game "Missile Command"...

  6736. Russia only has held Bakhmut since they took it in May so the area around it only has hastily constructed defenses. Nothing at all like what they built in the south. However now that the rainy season is a few weeks away, they will have six months to build up the defenses around the city. I saw a report in Times of India this morning that North Korea is to provide construction workers (among other things) for Russia, supposedly to help build cvilian infrastructure in the annexed areas. However, if you believe these construction workers won't be building defensive structures too you probably watch CNN. By next Spring, Bakhmut and the entire area in a 360 degree circle around it will resemble the surface of the Death Star.

  6737. What are they to do? Sit back and allow NATO to put US missiles into Ukraine and bring them to their knees??
    2
  6738. RU military budget is $200B a year now so if West no giving that much what do you expect? The $61B approved from US this year only $20B was weapons, the rest was money to pay salaries and training.... $20B vs. Russia is a joke...."

  6740. Now, in a bitter twist of irony, these same Allies stand with Germany trying their best to put Russia down. Just as Napoleon tried, just as Wilhelm II tried, just as Hitler tried. All three failed. As does this latest, fourth attempt.
    2
  6741. Yeah, Imperial Japanese Navy had their sights on Austraila as "easy pickings". Only reason they did not is they couldn't maintain the supply lines over such a distance and they wanted the troops needed for such an invasion in Manchuria to protect against a move by Russia. Australia had no defenses to speak of. Had Japan won at Midway, achieved a "Cold War" status with the US and kept their "Co-Prosperity Sphere" in Asia as planned, Australia would have been forced to submit or be crushed.

  6742. Iran may do their "big thing" at the same time. NATO may get two "messages" at the same time. Going to be a very exciting Autumn warring season!!"

    2
  6747. Lavrov gave Biden/Zelensky ultimatum: Capitulate on Russian terms or Ukraine will cease to exist as a country. Not much nuance there... Diesel fuel recently having shortages in Russia. Speculation is army is stockpiling it for the Steamroller Phase. North Korea has a million shells ready to ship to their new ally. Everything is in place; Putin just needs to give the word.
    2
  6748. Wow. ZERO accountability from Novikov for AFU's disastrous performance last summer, Zaluzhzhnyi splitting the NATO-trained army instead of using it all at one point, the waste of AFU marines in Krinky, and the constant encirclement and destruction of AFU whenever they try to hold a town. HOW DID "US INACTION" CAUSE ALL THAT??
    2
  6749. Been trying to unravel what NATO is really worried about here; a few thousand inexperienced troops (in a war with over a million experienced troops currently engaged) , is no real tactical threat. Also, let's please stop with the silliness about "escalation"; there's 3 years of video of troops from 20 different countries in Ukraine fighting against Russia. So why all the panic in the West??

  6750. EU has massive investments in Ukraine farmland and LNG storage. Thats why Brussels treats it as its own war

  6753. No wonder Biden mobilized 3000 American reservists a couple days ago. He is starting the manpower buildup of US troops to eventually go fight Russia because Ukraine is simply running out of men.

  6754. I have 2017 Ti Lusso, 27K miles zero problems. I will say the weather strip around the doors has deteriorated more than other cars I have that are 10 years old. I don't know if this is an issue with the climate here (Texas) but I've seen it on several 2017 models so I know its not a fluke. That's it. Weatherstrip. Its still under warranty so I'll get it replaced soon but that's the only issue. People say "risk" like its 1981 or something, LOL. Its a ZF transmission! You think ZF sells only the "unreliable" ones to Alfa while selling the "good" ones to BMW??? Its Brembo brakes. Its a Ferrari engine. Its Pirelli tires. How can the car be composed of "non-risky" parts and be "risky" as a whole??? You think the factory assembly people are all just trash?? Its a modern, mass-produced car. Its better than any BMW at this price. If you want one just buy one.

  6755. Biden Administration: "We shall fight to the last Ukrainian! Victory (and a place to put our Aegis Ashore missiles much closer to Moscow) or Death!"
    2
  6756. Zelensky and Budanov want to use them to hit oil refineries and office buildings in Moscow. A military target like an air base will provide limited value because such places have heavy AA defense, and RU will just move the planes further away to another base out of range. A missile may get through but these are not cheap missiles; JASSM-ER is four million dollars each; twice as expensive as storm shadow. You can't just fire 10 or 20 a night and hope 3 or 5 get through...."

  6757. Biden should just send the alien technology we have been hiding for 80 years. Surely that will be able to defeat the Russians where the Leopard, AMX10, Bradley, Avenger, HIMARS, JDAM, Switchblade, Patriot, CAESAR, Gephard, Excalibur, M777, Stinger, Milan, Javelin, and Storm Shadow have not??

  6762. Russian D-20 howitzer designed in 1947; they are using them from long term storage. D-30 designed in 1960 and still produced to this day (100 new ones every month from factory in Siberia). Russians have so many of these guns behind their lines, they don't even move them, they just move the gun crew. When Ukraine attacks in one sector, gunners man the guns pre-sighted for that sector as Ukraine can only use the roads and treelines to advance as the open fields are mined. If Ukraine destroys 1 or 4 or 10 in a day it hardly matters.
    2
  6763. WHAT is happening isn't all that surprising for anyone paying attention (and not reading Western MSM only); however the TIMING is so bad for Russia that one has to suspect CIA involvement. Just this week alone: failed Ukraine offensive, UK passes law to continue sanctions on Russia even if war ends (victory for Russia), and rumblings in both Africa and China about "peace plans". ALL of that favors Russia; now this?? I smell CIA...

Based on your summary yesterday (which was the first that reported Hamas is actually putting up a real fight), I mentioned that "Hamas is fighting hard" on another channel and YT deleted the comment.

  6769. In the past week Russia has taken back ALL territory Ukraine gained near Artemovsk last summer. It may have been a "stalemate" in September before Russia went on the offensive, but it aint a stalemate any longer.

  6773. Other than "cool, man!", do these systems actually make a difference?? How much do these features REALLY save you? Number one most people take 3 to 4 road trips a year, tops. You won't be using super cruise on I35 at 5:40pm in mega traffic. Ok so when you are on the interstate in the middle of nowhere this will allow you to take your hands off the wheel. Ok. So what. I recently did 500 miles one way to a wedding in a Giulia and with the radar cruise engaged, I could eat up 100 miles with only my thumb and index finger on the bottom of the wheel. What does this really get you?? I'm not sure.

I bet the pedo's, pervs and groomers absolutely love this stuff.However, as disgusting as it is, I actually had to look up if such images are illegal (since no actual real people are involved), and it IS illegal. They are considered "simulated child porn" and it is illegal. Good. Put these freaks in prison.

  6777. NATO cannot forcibly send men to their certain doom. US and EU every day are flooded with people fleeing nothing but low wages, lousy infrastructure or an abusive boyfriend; and they DO NOT send any of them back.

  6778. How the fuq they think NATO can invite them in when they are in middle of a war?? Do they think Portugal or Italy (or even UK) is ready to go to war with Russia next week???
    2
  6779. This is a "treeline" war. At the front, both sides ONLY move via the treeline as out in the open you have zero chance. Russia has high ground so they see everything in Robotyne and they just call in airstrike from Su-34 all day long. The plane drops the bombs from 40 miles away and they glide all the way using satnav to the exact treeline the drone provided coordinates for. A 1000 lb bomb liquifies any human tissue with gas (like air) inside; lungs, digestive tract shredded instantly in a 700 meter radius from impact. The penetration at Robotyne is only 3 km wide. Imagine what those bombs are doing to all those Ukrainian troops as there is nowhere to hide from a shockwave moving faster than the speed of sound. They literally die without even hearing what killed them.

  6780. They still trying even after their total wipeout yesterday?? Did any actually cross the border this time, or they still making TikTok vids geolocated inside Ukraine while they shout "we are inside Russia!"???
    2
  6781. A new Mach 10 washing machine?? How many hypersonic missiles does Russian have?? Six or seven different types and no one in NATO has even one. Time for Ukraine to accept reality like France after the battle of Sedan in 1871. They lost Alsace-Lorraine (a wealthy and beautiful region) to Germany, but got it back 45 years later. Some of the young men who lost in 1871 actually were still around in WW1 to help get it back. Land can always be recovered in the future, human lives cannot.
    2
  6782. Trump (as usual) makes a good point with all the subtlety of a gorilla. US has $24T GDP and 5500 tanks. Germany/Britain/France together have $9T GDP (about 1/3rd of ours), but all together only 700 tanks. By relative wealth they should collectively be able to put 1800 tanks into service. That money (not spent) is what fuels their universal education, healthcare, and comfortable public housing. I'd say that's a GDF'ing problem!

  6790. This generation is the first TL I've been excited about since 2004. However, I just wonder why Honda is playing so conservatively here? 355 hp is nice, but you can get more than that out of a 4-cyl from Mercedes. GM has been getting 460+ out of their 3.0TT V6 for years. I don't see why they didn't swing for the fences; even though its old, Lexus just walked a 5.0l V8 back into the segment. The car has the looks of a lion, but the power of a cub....

You say "Israel has gone way too far in the wake of them being attacked", deleted. You say, "Immigrants should come in via controlled manner, in a way that benefits the receiving country", deleted. At least in the United States we are supposed to be able to express opinions freely without censorship.

  6793. Those same "leaders" have some nerve. NATO never got its People on board with its desire to try to use Ukraine to subjugate Russia. This was never a desire of their citizens, only a few Elites who wanted to hurt Putin and get their hands on Ukraine's wealth.

Lockheed Martin canceled Thanksgiving for its top engineers; the CEO said "ya'll can't leave until one of you can tell me if we have something that has any chance of stopping this thing! Biden woke me up at 330am and asked me and I couldn't answer. The emergency NATO meeting is in FOUR days, so you all have THREE to give me an answer!"

  6801. When it was first announced, the Russian translation of Sunak's words led many Russians to believe that "security agreement" meant UK would enter Ukraine and fight alongside AFU. I know, I know....to us it sounds like madness, but Russians can only read what the interpreted words seemed to indicate. That's why Medveyev quickly clarified that Russia would consider that an "act of war"; it was only after the text was posted online in UK and Ukraine that the correct meaning was fully understood. THAT's how close ya'll Brits just came to being at war with Russia!! 40 operational Challengers vs. 4000 T-72B3s, T-80BVMs, T-90Ms, Lancets, Kinzhals, Iskanders, 670,000 battle hardended veterans, etc. 😂😂😂

  6802. Just read between the lines: Biden isn't going to throw his DEM base, that wants unrestricted immigration, under the bus in an Election Year. Which means the GOP isn't going to vote the money. Just think about it if Biden caves; he loses a huge chunk of his base AND with no guarantee of a positive outcome in Ukraine, next September he could be right back here with Zelensky again begging for money after another $20B army is destroyed, and half his voting base angry at him for closing the border. GOP could run Mickey Mouse and win in a landslide....

  6804. This is very interesting. However all the people below who think "we can't do this anymore" are sorely mistaken. We can do everything shown here and 100x more with 100x fewer people because of digital computing and automation in manufacturing. Trust me; we are just fine. We have F-35s , B-2's, Zumwalt class Destroyers, hypersonic missiles, smart bombs in every shape and size. We are in good hands...

  6807. Russia has never attacked the United States, Ukraine is not our ally and we have no obligation to them, and those who want to help Ukraine and demonize Russia are doing it for their own personal reasons. I consider Russia a geopolitical rival, not an enemy. Same with China (who the same people trying to demonize Russia are also trying to demonize China for a future war).

  6808. When I first heard about this I thought "no way they can compete with the new Escalade; Caddy hit that one out of the park". However, I see this and I am unable to really come up with a reason this is not a fully equivalent alternative. The 6.4 Hemi is in all ways the equal of the 6.2 LT4...both are badass. The ZF 8-spd is equivalent to the GM 10-spd. The air suspension, the leather, the wood, the crazy McIntosh stereo is the only thing by an American maker that can compete with the insane AKG system in the Caddy. Stellantis did their homework. This is right there with the 'Slade. I have a 2011 Jaguar XJ SC; and though I prefer sedans, the reality is if I wanted to replace it today and have a V8 for about $100K I can't; my only choices were Caddy or GMC SUVs, now Jeep is in there too. Well done!

  6810. Who cares? I actually hope its true; look at the comments. 90% dismissive since almost no one alive has actually been in combat with a NK soldier. Just like in 2021, the Western lies are going to fly about them just like they did about "poorly led Russian conscripts that will run from the Leopard and Abrams"..... Haven't heard such talk in over a year now. Let NK teach a new generation a lesson.

  6812. That's the only way to end the war. Zelensky's intransigence is the impediment to peace; even now he's asking for MORE Leopards and Bradleys to send MORE Ukrainian boys to be turned into humanburger for a few km! Who will stop the madness? Just like Budanov was silenced forever two weeks ago with a Kinzhal, the same must be done to Zelensky. One missile to end the war; one missile only.
    1
  6813. I believe Dems want to starve Zelensky into negotiations, but want it to appear that Republicans "did it" so years from now they can say "we wanted to keep funding the war but GOP wouldn't let us". That's why Dems don't take border seriously, they want the funding to fail. US and Ukraine had different goals; Ukraine wants to go back to 1991 at any cost, US just wanted Russia to bleed. Dems feel they got enough for the $120B and now ready to move on to something else. Zelensky will accept his fate like a good pup and take what's left from Putins table

  6815. All my life the GOP was where the war-mongering Imperialist, "Make the World England" types resided; much to the destruction of (foreign) lives and property. Now, in the space of six years or so, the GOP have become the retrenchment party, and the DEMs now the bloodthirsty, murderous conquerors convinced of their own superiority and totally committed to "improving" the lives of foreigners by force. What the heck is going on??

  6816. Russia (and Wagner from Belarus) about to take all that isht once the stupid NATO army in Zaporizhzhia is destroyed or encircled. They gonna take the whole bag of loot...

  6817. Russia has defeated Leopard, AMX10, Bradley, Avenger, HIMARS, JDAM, Switchblade, Patriot, CAESAR, Gephard, Excalibur, M777, Stinger, Milan, Javelin, Storm Shadow, and Challenger was prohibited by UK so it's the same as it not being there. None of that can even be disputed. Russia defeated two of the largest armies in history in Napoleon and Hitler; little Ukraine never had a chance.

  6831. CIA-funded insurgency supported and effected by the Ukrainian Army. That's all. Russian State TV shows their American MaxxPro armored vehicles exploding in spectacular fashion when hit by missiles. If any of them are alive the Russians will confirm who sent them.....and CNN will not show a single second of video of such confirmation. 🙂

  6832. Not really-----a month ago Russia had 90% of the city and now they have 100%. What is the big difference? Politically it makes a HUGE difference. The World sees that the West has been lying all along; Russia's "shovels" are powerful enough to win. The HIMARS miss half the time due to jamming, Patriot got owned by Kinzhal, the Storm Shadow has already been shot down several times. Even Ukraine knows if they send 100 Leopards and Challengers in against mines, missiles, artillery, and drones there won't be any left to face the T-90Ms that are waiting for them.

  6835. 40% of NK's economic output is military-related; their economy is tiny---something like $20B annual GDP. Ukraine spends $20B of American money in less than six months. However, they have the capacity for much, much more. Think of the country as a remote outsourcing partner for Russia; like Ford manufacturing vehicles in Mexico. NK itself is already outpacing the EU on shell deliveries; with Russian money to expand their production, there are some truly mind-boggling estimates on how many shells and missiles NK could build for Russia. Russia, who by itself is already three times more than all of NATO in shell production. Shells and rockets do not need very advanced tech to have laser or GLONASS guidance; that can be easily integrated using Chinese components.

Once the Democrats "recognize" someone (who they want in power over the incumbent), that is the first step towards the CIA getting in there, then in a few years the Bradley's and HIMARS get donated to, you know, "protect democracy".... This idea that the United States is the Global Arbiter of Everyone, Everywhere must have a stake driven through its heart; it keeps rising every few years since it was born in 1945..."

  6840. To be fair, Russia was planning this for a decade, where EU just didn't believe Russia would do it in spite of a decade of warnings and US had its hands full with Trump. For a while there earlier this year, the US Army only had the Javelin missiles it had in stock prior to 2022.

It has a datalink to any nearby TOS-1A Solntsepeyok ("Flamethrower") or Tornado-S MLRS, so it only takes seconds for it to send instant death upon any AFU/NATO/Dumb reporter it sees.... That young soldier is smart to respect his enemy----he is only there because Western fools 3 or 4 times his age did not---until now.

  6844. Big OpEd in the Daily Telegraph today arguing to attack Iran before "its too late". Xi already announced months ago China is preparing for war. Now, we are entering the "to hell with it" phase of this war where Ukraine no longer even bothers to hide the fact it is blowing up civilians on a "dual use" target (was there even a soldier or tank within a mile of the bridge when they bombed it?). There will be no peace in our time; the 21st Century is going to be bloodier than the 20th. Lavrov was right: the Anglo-Saxon nations are girding to put half the planet under the heel of their boots; starting (as always) with the Slavs.

  6845. For the first time that I've ever seen (and I've been watching daily military bloggers for over a year now), RU used an Iskander to take out a tank. A tank. ONE tank. Their drone followed it to where it was hiding in the treeline and an Iskander showed up to delete it. US estimates one Iskander to cost $3M, but that is highly unlikely to be realistic if they are now dropping them on a single tank. Either they got a bunch of Iskander-clones from NK and/or Iran on the cheap; or they are now really, really PO'ed...."

  6846. From what we've heard on the neutral military sites, AFU has 25K to 45K allocated to this operation (not all committed of course so they can rotate). The RU Kursk Army that was there for months (and was about to invade Ukraine via that same path), maybe 40K to 50K. So, right now both sides are about equally matched in that area, which is why neither can push the other very much, for very long: that "bulge" has remained about the same size for 3 days now. AFU is probing out to try to expand, but those "fingers" always eventually hit a wall. The rest of the border is not easy to cross, mines and dragon's teeth been there for years now, so militarily speaking, AFU can stay as long as they want to endure the FAB guided bombs. However, politically" , Putin is really angry now so it is unlikely RU will do the conservative thing and just surround them and degrade them from the air. They are on *RUSSIAN soil so he will probably send however many it takes to force them out asap..."
    1
  6847.  @Deathadder90  "....Mines and dragon teeth were also the obstacles the current incursion faced. .." Not true. All bloggers both netural and aligned reported that RU had recently de-mined that area as they were about to attack through it , AFU saw that and jumped the gun on them."

  6852. Russia need to fit a "daisycutter" fuse to FAB-500 bombs and knock down the treelineline in front of all these areas. That's the only way AFU can approach and hide their stuff; de-forest the area out to a km and nothing will be able to sneak up on you. Drop some Agent Orange on them or something. Fight nasty like the US does...

  6853. I just hope whoever wins , they win by a big enough margin there's no room for whining and crying about "irregularities" ( I've grown to despise that word).

  6860. Russia right now is evacuating civilians all along a huge swath of towns and cities in the South, as there are at least five large Ukrainian attack groups in and around Zaporizhzhia. That is obviously where they believe Ukraine will strike and I said yesterday this Wagner "leaving" is pure theater. Watch and you'll see Wagner re-appear in the South whenever Ukraine makes its push. Wagner's motto is: "We know we are going to Hell, but in Hell we will be the best."

  6864. Germany , France, UK all announcing major new increases in arms factories, new weapon production, raising taxes to increase size of army, etc. Trump's words had the desired effect.
    1
  6865. I think Russia has to do it. Ukraine announcing total mobilization today of up to 500,000 more soldiers by next Spring. No one even knows where they will find 500,000 men but that's what they announced. If a 500 kt nuke wipes out their NATO army of 40,000 in one day, and the people "see the Light" and tell Zelensky "no more". That attack will save at least 250,000 human lives. Putin must do it.
    1
  6866. Putin saw this coming all along and that is precisely why he has taken the slow steady course with Ukraine. This has always been about NATO and Putin knows he is likely to have to fight NATO directly sooner or later. That's why the defensive-only posture all year, the 280,000 new recruits, the 145,000 draft just approved a couple weeks ago, the alliance with NK to ensure an uninterrupted supply of millions of shells and rockets, the restarting of the T-80BVM production line shut since 1997, the rapid evolution of the Lancet and FPV drones now being mass produced by the thousands, etc. Just add it all up and for Ukraine its overkill; it isn't just for Ukraine. It is for NATO.

  6875. Well a bunch of other EU countries told Zelensky "no, we need our Patriots for our own defense" so getting one is better than nothing. Germany knows that is $1.3B they'll never see again.

  6880. US intelligence will never admit it publicly, but the rumor mill says they realize the war is lost and Russia has won. Read between the lines and look at what Biden is asking for; no ATACMS. It is all purely defensive.
    1
  6881. With all the faked vids during this war I'm a bit suspicious. That is definitely a Leopard 2 firing (its hull profile is unmistakable), however that explosion is far too large, smoke and dust filled to have been an impact by a APFDS round. Go watch any of 30 years of tank training vids and when such a projectile hits a tank it makes almost no "explosion", certainly nothing like that huge geyser of smoke and dust. Nor would hitting a few ERA tiles produce such a balloon of smoke and dust. That looks more like the tank hit a mine or a nearby artillery shell impact, either of which explains the huge cloud of dirt. It is possible the Ukrainian fired an HE shell but that would have been stupid to give away your position to fire a shell type that would not really hurt a tank when you could easily switch to AP before firing. Also that tank that was hit was certainly no T-90; I'd guess T-80 or T-72.

  6882. Turkish papers report over 70+ wounded, many Ukrainian armed forces and Western technical specialists. Good strike Russia. Should have sent another 30 minutes later to "double tap" the NATO personnel.

  6883. Ukraine attacks Russia all the time----with their own weapons. They can't use American or UK ones because that's part of the agreement to get them for free is not to use them on Russia. (Because Russia will be justified in bombing US or UK in return).

  6887. Russia has issued arrest warrants for all American and British journalists all over CNN/SKY/BBC the past week from inside Russia in Kursk. Did they enter Russia legally, via airport or train station or port? Did they present their passport, obtain a visa? They entered with an invading army.. I notice reporters from DW/France24 take great pains to say "Russia is just 2km that way" when they report.... LOL."

  6894. Ukraine must be doing a good job keeping these NATO tanks and Bradleys hidden. Camo won't do; they have to be inside buildings or better yet underground. Any cave systems or mountain ranges in the South that could be used for this purpose? I can't believe the Russians haven't bombed such armor concentrations; they must be well hidden. To be honest, if I were Putin and I knew for sure all this armor was gathering in Vilyansk, I'd drop several tactical nukes on it and end the war in one day.

  6896. Towns need an economic "heart". The steel mill was that heart and it's gone now. 1960s era racism made it worse. The Whites left and they could start over somewhere else since they could get jobs anywhere being White. The Black residents could not, so when the Mill ended, so did their chances. Until there is a new economic heart, the town will not recover. If there were a mountain or lake or ocean nearby, vacationers could have sustained it, but it needs an EV battery or microchip or other "new economy" plant to locate there.

  6900. Germany just said "NO" to Ukraine ever being in NATO, which is the whole reason this war started. So, if NATO is now off the table, the West could have given Russia that a year ago in the negotiations and 200K people would still be alive today. Russia would have exchanged some territory for Ukraine to never be in NATO (not Crimea though). But Joe Biden didn't want to talk, he wanted to fight to teach Putin a lesson and give some payback for 2016.

  6902. Given enough time, yes almost 100% of the time. However, the situation can vary greatly depending on the circumstances. If it is US vs RU in an overseas locale where both have to bring everything with them, US wins that more easily as logistically the US is far superior to Russia in terms of naval and airlift capacity. If the US Army has to push 50K RU soldiers out of Bakhmut??? I believe the US will win, but the casualties will be almost even.

  6904. The Weapons Engineers everywhere already hard at work figuring out how to counter these drones. After all they are just remote-controlled aircraft. Their small size and light construction is the only thing saving them-----if they were the size of an F-16 they'd all have been blown out of the sky long ago. Many times they are detected but the missile to kill them costs more than they do so no one fires at them. New military tech ALWAYS eventually is countered.

  6907. I felt the same way about the elections; if Harris wins Russia gonna send everyone (including the North Koreans) because the more they get now the better. If Trump wins , maybe they don't have to push so hard so fast since negotiations are much more likely. Also, today on the "propaganda" channels as I call them, like Sun, Kanal13, etc. there are stories of how AFU and NK troops are in contact and fighting already, but due to the channels I see this on, I consider it very unlikely to be true.

  6910. Been "underway" for 20 years at least visibly; Niall Ferguson predicted everything we've seen the past five years in his book "The War of the World" back in 2006. Our "decline" is really just others' "rise"; not so much us losing anything as those long on the floor picking themselves up. The West can either accept its decline relative to everyone else and try to manage it in a mutually productive way, or try to fight everybody to stay on top. The latter seems to be the option they've chosen for now and it hasn't worked out so well.

  6911. Nationalism played a huge role in the start of World War One; the Austro-Hungarian Empire had a Nationalist with a gun or bomb on every corner. Nationalism also set off World War Two; the Spanish Civil War was a practice field for Germany, Manchuria the same for Japan. Here we go again now with this Nationalist Leader who doesn't seem to own a suit, telling us we need to fight World War Three on his behalf and nobody who learned the lessons from the first two times is alive to tell him to shut up and go away.
    1
  6912. I mean.....it's been two weeks and that "bulge" hasn't gotten much bigger. The fact CNN/BBC has been quiet for about a week tells all we need to know. The Kursk incursion has failed; RU now has more troops around the bulge than AFU has inside it. The south was sacrificed for zero gain..... complete military disaster....."

  6915. Very good points all. I bought my first car (Toyota Supra) in 1988, and I've had Mazda, Mitsu, Honda, BMW, Audi, Ford, Buick, Jaguar, and currently 2017 Alfa Romeo. Only one engine failure (brand new 2006 Honda---that I contributed to by adding aftermarket intake then drove through heavy rain, engine ingested water). Only one transmission failure (2002 Acura, 1 yr old and not my fault!). That's it. Everything else was wear out items like fans, alternators, water pumps, etc. I stayed away from Dodge all through 90s and 00s, but I would consider one now. My cars have been good to me but I'll say that imho, a 2022 will not physically hold up as well until 2032, as a 2012 has held up until today. A 2022 will give you 200K miles of driving just fine over a 5/6 year period, but by year 10, it will have deteriorated far more than a car built a decade ago.

  6922. That is it? That's what the West has gotten after almost FOUR months of the "Grand Spring Offensive" that was to break through to the Sea of Azov just in time for the NATO summit in Lithuania on JULY 12th. NATO really believed they would have shattered Russia so completely in just SIX WEEKS that Putin would have been a broken man by the middle of July. The gap between that and reality is the measure of just how massive a failure this offensive was. Past tense on purpose because this thing is over----rain is coming in a few weeks and no one is moving anywhere. NATO openly admits Russia is outproducing it in ammunition and every single one of the NATO-trained brigades with the "wunderwaffe" are engaged and being attritted as we speak. That's all we got for our $100B: Andriivka and Robotyne. Pre-war population 74 and 520 respectively.

Though none of this EV rolling iPhone stuff appeals to me, I certainly agree that this thing basically "out-Teslas" a Model Y. Well done Hyundai!

  6940. Who in their right mind believes an F-16 can really make a difference?? It is 45 year old design, no stealth and JDAMS and HARMS it can carry already countered/jammed/shot down by Russians. The airbases it can fly from will be bombed day and night, if it flies to the front it will be shot down just like Mig-29. Seriously what is NATO thinking??
    1
  6941. Yep, the "take back Crimea" is over forever, that ship sailed. They had their big chance and Russia slapped them down like a bear slapping a salmon. Now, the plan is keep Ukraine from being overrun, slowly build them up economically and militarily, so they can exist as a buffer State between Poland and Novorossiya.

  6942. The reason they are going with all these "alternate" materials is EV (and PHEV) buyers are stereotyped as "eco-conscious". Meaning that they don't eat meat, don't want leather, and will charge this only with electricity from renewable sources. Absurd, I know....but that is what manufacturers think this type of buyer wants. A normal, meat-eating, leather-desiring person, will just buy a diesel or gas motor and be done with it. I'll admit those materials look nice; but I am with you there is no way that stuff will hold up like leather----humans used leather as ARMOR for God's sake for thousands of years...
    1
  6943. I really wonder if it is even really possible to "end" this war by either side? Constantly we've heard how Ukraine evacuates areas all along its border because most of the citizens there cannot be trusted by Kyiv. Last week all the elections in Crimea and the Republics went for Russia by huge margins-----margins so big you cannot simply wave it away as "well they were told to vote for Russia". Asia and ME news outlets interview people living in these territories and they almost always say "we chose to stay Russian". Even if Russian army left all these places tomorrow, Ukraine would have an insurgency "forever war" on its hands and NATO would be in the position of supporting a force for tyranny over people who voted for someone else. You could almost call this a civil war.
    1
  6944. Known all along for training. However it is also known many NATO citizens (especially from Poland) have been combatants in Ukraine the whole war. If this news turns out to show that all those US/UK guys going over there were NOT actually "volunteers", it can get even uglier for Biden than it already is.
    1
  6945. Just look at the past two years and Russian FSB thwarting many Ukrainian terror attacks deep inside Russia. Just two weeks ago RU bombed all the "anti Putin" forces they day before they were scheduled to attack. Or a month ago when they bombed the AFU drone base in Odessa, just hours after Zelensky and the Greece PM left the area. FSB is not perfect but they are very, very good at what they do. For them to miss this means one of two things: 1. They knew about it and let it happen to give pretext to going gorilla on Ukraine. Or 2. They really didn't know about it and the only organization who could pull that off is CIA.

NATO up to its old tricks: "The Biden administration has quietly given Ukraine permission to strike inside Russia — solely near the area of Kharkiv — using U.S.-provided weapons, three U.S. officials and two other people familiar with the move said Thursday, a major reversal that will help Ukraine to better defend its second-largest city."

  6959. "...But Ukraine is fighting for its survival. It would accept direct US involvement in a war with Russia. According to a recent book by David Sanger, Biden even suggested to his aides that Zelenskyy might be deliberately trying to draw America into a third world war..." Financial Times - 8/26/24 FT is not some nutball outlet; they are the UK version of WSJ (and well over 100 years old), and they are old school journalists, not internet yahoos. If Biden is worried about Zelensky's motives--BIDEN; I certainly would be too!!"

  6960. This war has turned Wagner into the Price Waterhouse Coopers of the Merc world. Their brand is at its highest ever; many of their convicts from last Fall survived and are now walking the streets as free men just as promised. Their core of professional soldiers has now ballooned with experienced combat-capable troops; ready to fan out across the non-Western world and reap millions for Prigozhin. For the next 20 years all over the world, liars and grifters will say "I was Wagner in Ukraine".

  6962. Stupid Western leaders never learn. Almost 20 years underestimating Putin and still do it to this very day. This summit isn't about Ukraine; Putin is already laying bricks and slapping mortar on the Post-War world. The world as it was in 2021 is gone; at least for the next 50 years. None alive to read this will ever see a Starbucks or McDonalds or Nestle in Moscow again. The Big Show Xi and Putin put on in March was the coronation of the End of The Western Uni-Polar World. Last week 40 nations expressed desire to join the BRICS, not EU. Between them Africa, China, and Russia have all the resources, both human and material, to turn their backs on the West for the next century, if not longer.

  6963. Very similar to the United States' frontier in 1823. An ever expanding civilization overpowering the previous tribal nations, and those on the frontier understood they could be massacred by a war party at any time. Eventually the stronger group eradicated the weaker one.

  6964. The first F-35 for Poland rolled out of Lockheed Martin factory in Fort Worth, TX this week. Poland is paying for them , not getting DEM Party Welfare like Ukraine. Guess what? No restrictions. Poland can use them to conquer the planet Mars if they want. If you are a ghetto beggar nation like Ukraine, you have to do what you're told. If you have your own cash, you make the rules..."

  6965. Russia attacked their own NPP??? Hilarious!!!

  6966. You must be around age 28. No American has EVER been afraid of Russia in a conventional war. US Navy could whip them with only their reserve ships. No, it has ALWAYS been the nukes that leveled the playing field. Seems this new generation of Americans don't believe that so are pushing to find out if Russian nukes actually work.

  6967. I can't wait to read Gen. Milley's memoirs in 2035 or so. He'll be like "I told that old fool Biden and that peacetime officer Austin that there was no way in HELL Ukraine could defeat the fully mobilized Russian Army! They didn't listen to me!" 🙂
    1
  6968. The West (mostly Germany) has a long history of not respecting Russia's battle prowess. It seems every 70 or 80 years, those that learned the hard way pass on, and the new generation grows up thinking "oh, those guys are just vodka-swilling conscripts, we can take them easy". Lather, Rinse, Repeat.

  6969. He shouldn't even respond to her. Harris doesn't possess one ounce of independent thought on Ukraine; she just parrots the DEM party line. Ignore her...

  6970. I was prepared for 5 minutes of "they have only shovels" garbage, but BBC actually tried to be even-handed here. The old lady asks a great (and ancient) question: "why is this happening to us?" It has happened many times before: Poles in 1612. Swedes in 1708. French in 1812. Germans in 1941. Now, the AmeriBrits in 2024 (whose proxy army contains Poles, Swedes, French, and Germans). I'm not European so this pattern makes no sense to me; what is the major malfunction Europeans have with Russians? Is there a reason Europeans keep trying to invade Russia??? Someone please answer the old lady's question...."

  6973. This is 100% proof Biden is pretty much out of it. The $60B may never come due to politics and Biden has an election to concentrate on. UK has no shells or large numbers of vehicles, and Germany has reached its limit. It looks like France is now the primary Ukraine sponsor which is why RU talks only to them.
    1
  6974. Taiwan will negotiate its return to China; anything else is suicide. To fight means their quadrillion dollar infrastructure gets wiped out and they join China anyway. The world has leaned not to be the stupid Ukrainians of the future

  6975. If Biden would give Putin a guarantee that Ukraine would never be in NATO, its territory never used to host US missiles, Putin MAY JUST WITHDRAW!! Why won't Biden???

  6977. In a just world, no UK news outlet would be allowed to comment on anything related to or about Russia. British hate for Russia goes back centuries and is rooted in Aristocracy predating the Revolution.

  6978. Looks like Metz in 1917. To think all this could easily have been avoided by Biden and NATO in the Summer of 2021. Oh well; they got the war they wanted...
    1
  6979. Ukraine bought up every cheap quad copter drone on the market. Up to 70,000 of them ive read. Each with a grenade or mortar shell strapped to it. They are pinpricks, but 70,000 pinpricks can kill an elephant.

  6980. Two armies fighting is not the same as what the US/UK did here last night....

  6981. Biden is caving because Ukraine won't last till the Summer. Problem is the GOP doesn't want to fund Ukraine as they know how unpopular it is.
    1
  6982. Both sides are terrorists
    1
  6983. Apparently there is some negotiating going on between Ukraine and Russia mediated by Qatar. Ukraine's hold on that land in Kursk is a negotiation lever for Ukraine to get something in return. The fear is the 10K NK troops could tip the balance quickly in Kursk and take away the only leverage Zelensky has right before the US election. That is why Zelensky and Biden Admin. are flipping out so much over what seems to be not that many soldiers....

  6994. Yes, if your goal was to make money. Since there are only a finite # of them, they've doubled in value in less than a year. However, if your goal was driving enjoyment, then no. The Corvette is far more visceral and thrilling to drive, and because GM will stamp out as many of them as people want, you can get one for about $72K out the door as the "scarcity premium" they had last year is now gone.

  6996. Holy cow!!! Have the men changed over the past 25 years or the women??? Are men now unable to handle it when a woman goes off on them, or are modern women going off on men in a way that men can no longer handle??? Women have been cussing out men who disappoint them for 7000 years at least. What has changed?? Why so many men just putting all these women into the ground the past couple decades???

  6997. ...and Russia just four times that much in Donbass...

  6998. Go Russia! The only way the killing on both sides will end is when one side wins. Ukraine does not and will never have enough manpower to win; all they can do is increase the "cost" of way by NATO weapons. The outcome is certain. Hurry and and crush them Russia. Then the death on both sides will stop.

  6999. France not talking about "risk" to them physically, they talking about risk to all their exploitation of poor countries in Africa if Russia wins and gets stronger. They only care about Ukraine to protect their racket

  7004. Air power alone can never remove soldiers from land they occupy. Ukraine is fighting this low cost war because it has to; their air force is pathetic, their army only as good as the political winds continue to blow free tanks their way, their navy----well they have no navy as Russia destroyed their last warship in Odessa yesterday.

  7005. Game of Drones

  7006. Catch up on some old Stormy videos?
    1
  7007. NATO had the "no Western equipment in Russia" rule for 2+ years and obviously changed that policy to give Ukraine an advantage. Very sneaky and nasty.... Russia's entire tactical deployment for two plus years is predicated on the "rules" set by NATO. Now those rules are gone and unrestricted warfare by Ukraine is the current state. Say what you want about Putin; he has stayed inside the "white lines" (drawn by NATO) this entire time. You think he doesn't want to shoot down the US Global Hawk always flying in the Black Sea giving Ukraine targeting information?? He's played by the rules and because he is winning, NATO changed them. RU should take off all their restrictions as well....."
    1
  7008. So the US Navy just spent $20M to destroy $50K worth of drones. Ever wonder why we work so hard only to have less and less it seems, as our taxes eat up more and more?

  7014. ???. Every Single One of these dudes are now dead; killed by Su-25 airstrike. This was definitely Ukraine and likely some CIA involvement. I thought you were worth adding to the group of news sources I rely on to cut through the lies, but you are no better than CNN. See ya...
    1
  7015. Ukraine now has civilian women, some in their 50s, practicing with AK-47s. Look at those Russian shock troops, then imagine your mother in a trench trying to stop them. Biden stepped in it two years ago and now he's tracked it right into the living room with the rest of us.
    1
  7016. Nissan is putting ZF transmission into their bigger V6 stuff (Thank God!), so they got the message. Probably too late though.... I blame CAFE standards. For huge volume cars like Versa/Kicks/Sentra/Altima/Rogue a 3 or 4 mpg average increase is HUGE. That is the only reason they are going CVT over a torque converter transmission; these little engines make too little torque to need a very expensive transmission---a 5 or 6 speed standard trans would have been cheap and easy but the mpgs would have been too low.
    1
  7017. I am 49 and happily married for 9 years. I came of age 80s, college 90s, typical Gen X in all ways. My first marriage lasted 7 years and I divorced her as she turned out to be a real ball-breaker type feminist. HOWEVER, my first wife is ONE-HUNDRED TIMES more of a "lady" than every single one of these younger women arrayed here. In 1993, NONE----and I do mean NONE, of the women I knew had even the slightest desire to be a single mother. The very idea was abhorrent to them. These women in this video who are actually proud of the fact they "weren't on Tinder, weren't DM'ing, etc." while FUKKING pregnant are like beings from another Universe to me. In the 90s, to see a pregnant woman in a bar or club was like seeing one of Satan's minions on the Mortal Plane----EVERYONE recoiled in horror and disgust at such a spectacle. These women expect to be treated the exact same as women who have no children, BY MEN WHO ARE CHILDLESS! If they at least acknowledged they have nothing to offer a childless man, I'd have bit more respect for them, but even the woman in her 40s said "you can't just do one thing, you have to do more for your family". WTF?? It isn't HIS family!! All the "requirements" they have now that they are single moms, are the same requirements they SHOULD HAVE HAD before (but did not) and they wouldn't have been in this position! I could not date a 30-something today; it would be like dating an alien from another planet.

  7020.  @blackout07blue  This is CNN bro. You know they interviewed 10 Nepalese, 9 who said "yes" when asked did you get your money? They ran the story with number 10 who didn't get his money (probably because he moved and the check from Russia got lost). CNN is fuccing 100% propaganda man.

  7021. This war will be over soon. Putin just mobilized 500,000 more troops. Yet, at this very moment they are crushing Ukraine from air, land, and sea. What is this half-million man new army for?? The Occupation. 🙂

  7023. F-16 in sky during biggest air raid , inexperienced pilot, at night. That's all I really need to know; of course I'd like to know what really got him but the facts we do know are enough to explain it. The only really interesting question I have is about what "super game-changer EW equipment" it was carrying? During the Pentagon briefing last night, a reporter asked about it but got no answer. I had never heard the F-16s had some updated EW tech; CNN/BBC/SKY all been saying these planes were "old airframe, old avionics, old tech soon to be scrapped , etc." Somebody lying...."

  7025. Can someone please tell me why NATO believes it can win a nuclear war with Russia? Russia has clearly said for a decade "we will use nukes before we lose Crimea". I don't see a lot of nuance in that statement. Does NATO believe they are bluffing?

  7026. Wagner as an "educational" organization, LOL! Love how those guys troll the West so hard----they are correct they do educate people. Teach them how not to be NATO's slaves...

  7027. Here's why Poland, Lithuania, and Estonia are fortifying their borders with Belarus: they feel "threatened". So much so, they are demanding nukes and likely planning to invade if they feel it necessary. Ironic isn't it? 2 years ago, Russia too felt "threatened" by a growing menace on its border, they too planned to invade if they felt it necessary. Joe Biden ignored their overture to discuss it, so invasion became necessary...

  7036. Russia is about to tidy up this "play war" here very soon. Lavrov delivered the ultimatum to Biden/Zelensky: Capitulate or Ukraine Ends. Just go watch Lavrov speak from two days ago; does he even look at all like a man concerned about the outcome? While Zelensky looks haggard, disheveled, and like he hasn't slept in months. Savvy watchers have noticed diesel fuel is experiencing shortages in the Russian local market; what other explanation could there be for a country swimming in oil to have diesel shortages but that the Army is stockpiling it? North Korea will supply millions of shells. Fuel. Ammo. Secured. When it comes, and unless Biden capitulates, it will. It will look like something from white and black WW2 films....
    1
  7037. I felt exactly the same two days ago: Putin must respond, but he will have to thread a tiny gap between facing down Biden without making it impossible to work with Trump. This is a tiny sliver of daylight, but Putin has been doing this since the 1980s and if anyone can thread it he can. I give credit to Biden though; this was a brilliant political move by him even though I strongly dislike him and this stupid war.

  7040. Nice copied Audi A7. Anyone who buys this has inherited money as that's the only way they could use dollars for kindling by buying this. Anyone who leases it will regret it soon after when they see what else they could have gotten for the same monthly nut. Why? Horrible residuals. This thing is a Hyundai----the only reason "Mercedes" is mentioned in the same breath is because Hyundai marketing wants it to be (and Doug like all reviewers is PAID by advertisers). That means it's value will be in the teens in 4 years, making it FAR more expensive than just getting the Audi you really wanted. Just save another year or two and get the real thing. At this price, this is competition for an Acura TLX or Infiniti Q70 (and those are of higher quality). If you MUST have it, buy it used in 3 years for $22K.

  7044. When Ukraine collapses (and it is only a matter of when, not if); Poland will very likely rush into Ukraine to create a "buffer zone" between it and a suddenly hostile neighbor on its border. Ironic isn't it? That is exactly what Russia is doing with the SMO. Putin of course, does not want any NATO country swooping in taking territory that he will then have to negotiate to get them to leave (or fight to push them out), so Belarus is the "contingency" option if Poland tries this. The second a Polish soldier crosses into Ukraine, Belarus will flood in to check them and grab as much territory as it can.
    1
  7045. Unless the S-300/Buk/Pantsir can shoot these down, this is really gonna piss Putin off. One thing the Russians have done well is signals intelligence and EW. They've jammed HIMARS and JDAM, Ukraine has to use radar data from American AWACS (flying over Poland) because if they turn their anti-air radars on the Russians quickly locate and destroy them, etc. If they can counter Storm Shadow then maybe nothing much changes; if they can't...

  7048. South Korea been involved in the war since 2023 when they sent 500,000 155mm shells to Ukraine. If they jump up to attack Russia, then Putin should just send Kim the manufacturing schematics for the Iskander-M and let Kim run wild over there...

  7049. Wars sprouting everywhere does not surprise me. The US retrenchment after 2016 was a signal to the world that the "great game" is open once again for the first time since 1939. We are witnessing the End of the world of the past 75 years, and the beginning of a New. As is true in all of Nature; before you can create, you must first destroy.

  7050. In the last week, Russia has bombed Ukraine with literally HUNDREDS of drones and missiles of every type. Yet, the word "PATRIOT" is unseen in any article, anywhere, at any time over the past month. Why? Because Russia prioritized the destruction of the Patriots as soon as they were deployed, and since Ukraine does not manufacture it, but has to wait on someone to give it to them, once they are destroyed it is weeks or months (or never) before they get another. Last week, Ukrained fired TWELVE Storm Shadows at two bridges. Why so many? Because Pantsir-S1 has had 3 months to study the weapon and now can reliably shoot most of them down---the only way to ensure a hit is to try to overwhelm it with numbers. Taurus/ATACMS all the same: initially some will get through and do some damage, but Russia will adapt and a month later there will still be 100,000 soldiers and 900 tanks bearing down on Kharkiv. This is a war NATO CANNOT win. Negotiate.
    1
  7051. NYT reported a month ago that Ukraine has suffered almost 500,000 casualties in only 18 months of war. US took 407,000 casualties in FOUR years of war on two sides of the globe in bloody battles against two Superpowers of the time in the Wehrmacht and Imperial Japanese Navy. So many men concentrated on just a few hundred miles of front in just one place means WW1 level casualty rates. Four months ago I read Ukraine may take about 1 MILLION casualties before this is over and I thought that was crazy talk. Then the NYT article and then the past month happened and now I think that is going to be the lower end of the estimated range.

  7059. Wow!!! Really?? I just asked a few days ago if they had bigger guided bombs because all the AFU in one area makes them perfect target. Someone said 500 kg was largest that could be guided. 1500 kg is 3300 lbs!! A bomb that big will collapse AFU lungs out to 2 KILOMETERS from impact point. Awesome!! 😊

  7062. 1/3 rd goes to Lockheed Martin right off the top to replace stuff sent to Ukraine long ago. $8B goes direct to Zelensky to pay the salaries of his government, but Ukraine as a whole has a $200B budget deficit 😂. $12B is weapons and ammo but some of that isn't even produced yet. Russian Army Group North won't even notice any difference this summer when they blitz through there 😂

  7064. It is even more "unreal" than you can imagine. There is a Ukrainian program (funded by us) that compensates Ukrainian business owners for loss of income due to the war. Right, the US is paying to make whole Ukrainian business owners for a war the US helped start.

  7069. The cheap drone threat is why Russia is briging all kinds of old automatic AA gun platforms out of mothballs. Tunguska, ZSU-23-4, etc.----even some tank chassis with Naval autocannon mounted on them; all to knock down these waves of cheap drones with cheap ammunition.

Just what the HELL is going on with automotive design over there in Germany these days?? The Koreans hired away all the European designers a few years back, and now the folks that got promoted after their departure are blowing it. Big time.

  7072. If they go in there, it'll be Bakhmut 2.0; Hamas has modern anti-tank missiles, drones, and knows the layout 10x better than Israel. That said, IDF has to do it; they don't have the time to starve them out. The world will see it as weak (and this perception will embolden yet more enemies of Israel to act). My guess is six months and 50,000 total casualties for both sides.
    1
  7073. LOL. Six minutes talking about a warship (the only Ukraine "victory" in over two months), that has ZERO impact on the war, while no mention that Russia in just 7 weeks, has rolled back almost all the meager gains Ukraine wasted its $20B NATO army to get last summer. Good ol CNN------never changes; when you want to see and hear complete and total propaganda.

  7088. Why haven't we seen (or heard from) Biden? Why is State so coy about the presence of American Strykers and Humvess (at least) clearly seen inside Russia (in violation of last confirmed Biden use policy on 5/30/24)? Why has the US found it necessary to send TWO carrier battle groups to the ME? I'd hate to be this guy...."

  7089. Preparing sure, decided to do? Probably not. Even the congenitally hawkish US is advising IDF to wait; just looking at the math the past two weeks and the lessons learned in Ukraine at Bakhmut, a ground attack will be absolutely horrific for everyone involved. IDF, has 100,000 ready to go, with another 300,000K called up. Hamas has 25K (so I've read) with all the advantages of being the defenders. That is only a 4-to-1 ratio in favor of Israel and that probably guarantees an IDF victory, but they will lose over half their army to obtain that victory. Then I read how powerful Hezbollah is now and whoa....the math does not favor IDF at all, especially in the short term.

  7103. What will that do? Nothing. Ukraine will fire them at targets 300 miles away instead of the current 200 miles, most will get shot down, a few will hit, RU will lose a few more planes, a few thousand more gallons of oil, a few more ammo dumps and then what? They'll rain 400 missiles on Ukraine instead of the 250 from last night. Then Zelensky will be on here again asking for ICBMs. Obama said it in 2015: Russia has Escalatory Dominance---anything we can give, they can match or exceed; there is no point to arming Ukraine as they'll just be destroyed in the process Obama was the highest IQ President US had over past 50 years; Biden didn't listen and look what we have."

Nobody buys at this level; it is 90% lease and that means the monthly payment differential is immaterial for the extra MSRP. Nobody chooses a $73K car because they can't afford an $85K one. This is comparable to a Caddy XT6 and at that price is an ok alternative (though the Caddy will last a decade longer than any Hyundai). Any more than $60K for this is utter madness. Always remember, you get what you pay for...

  7113. Russia MUST win. It has to. NATO cant see what it has become. Look at Niger. France sucks them for 95% of their wealth for years while they starve. Now, they realize it and demand better for themselves, and NATO responds by threatening them and war.

  7115. I want Russia to win primarily because NATO started this war by threatening them. Just think about it: Whose "first move" led to this? NATO. However, I don't agree they should kill Zelensky as he is a Head of State and not a military officer. Zelensky is forcing Russia to have to utterly destroy all of Ukraine in order to end the war. Fine. The retribution (if any) for Zelensky should come from his own people.

  7116. I try to be aloof, because who doesn't like being proven right after 26 months?? Yet, as father of 7 age 14 - 29, I look at these young faces and shattered bodies and I start to get angry. What mad fool in the Biden Administration ever thought Russia could be defeated in a land war on its own territory?? Do they not have historians in Washington, D.C.?? 80 years ago, THREE MILLION men (the best trained army at the time, with the best air force at the time) went into Russia to destroy it; and they FAILED! Yet, in late 2021, on a conference call of Biden and NATO brass, somehow they convinced themselves Ukraine could do what Napoleon and Hitler could not, with 30 year old weapons and no air force.

  7118.  @frederikpedersen689  Yes. Russia has the right to exist free of threat like any other nation. In 1963 the US was prepared to invade Cuba to prevent the Russian missiles being staged there to become a threat to our existence; there was no invasion because Russia backed down. NATO didn't back down when Putin said "don't threaten me"; so he invaded. I see no difference.

  7135. I am starting to feel the same way. Ukraine would not sacrifice so many troops and vehicles if they didn't have some huge reserve. Everyone has been saying their NATO-trained army is in the 40,000 to 50,000 range. However they are behaving if that number is in the 150,000 range with 200 Leopard 2s.

What Trump is trying to do is distinguish "African American" (i.e., descendant of American slaves) from all other Black immigrants who have come to this country of their own choice (which, tbh, didn't really take place to any significant degree until beginning in the 1950s)." President Coolidge's Immigration Act of 1924 made is all but impossible for a non-European to legally immigrate to the US. It is a common theme among white's of Trump's generation; that a black person who legally immigrated to the United States is "different" than a black person who is a descendant of slaves. That theme doesn't work anymore as virtually all who ascribed to it are now in Valhalla..."

  7143. I didn't pay close attention to this war until around that time, so to hear about some of the precursor battles before Bakhmut was very interesting to me. Even me, just starting to pay closer attention back then, NEVER heard an estimate of AFU at Bakhmut of strength as low as 30,000!! The lowest I recall from the time was about 50,000; usually 60,000 and the Russians about 45,000 to 50,000. It was about even overall, but Russia had a huge firepower advantage with artillery and helicopters. I recall Prigozhin raging about how his guys would have high casualties whenever the Russian army failed to give him adequate artillery support.

  7145. Biden is rushing to send the remaining $6B of weapons on hand, plus about $2B unspent they issued orders to vendors, all in attempt to get it out the door before Trump is sworn in. After the election results, this is clearly not what the Will of The People have demanded, right? So, this is the DEMs being DEM: do what we want, who cares what our fellow citizens think. I hope Trump can stop the shipments; because all they will do is delay the inevitable, result in more casualties for ZERO impact on the outcome. It is also very risky; if the Zelensky government collapses suddenly those brand new weapons will be in arms markets all over the planet within weeks.

  7148. Putin looks spry but he'll fade into the sunset one day. When that happens, I often wonder if Russia will just fall in line like the rest of the planet (other than China and Iran) and become just another Western follower-State. It really is PUTIN, that is holding the line against Western-style liberalism and secularism; with so little actual truth in the West about Russia we have no idea how robustly Putin's view is supported. People attacked from outside naturally circle around their leader; but Putin's anti-liberalism stance is well known and long standing. Only when Putin is gone will we really know if the Russian Orthodox Church behind him is truly reflective of the vast majority.

  7149. Forbes has an article up today "confirming" that Russia used what they call an "Iskander clone" to blow up two AFU supply bases (doing significant logistical damage). No one really knows if they were actually NK rockets (US could just be saying that for political reasons), but there is no doubt that the air raids last week did MAJOR damage to Ukraine and the US putting Adm. Kirby up there a couple days later is proof that the impact went all the way to the top of the Biden Administration. They will use the narrative "look, now NK AND Russia ganging up on Ukraine!" to get the Republicans to back off on strict border control to get the Ukraine funding.

  7150. All high used car prices do to me is make me go to the dealer and buy a new one. For example, right now Camaro ZL1 is about $70K brand new; its not a really new hot thing, so no markup. If you look at the used market, a 2018 is $60K. If you can afford $60K, you can afford $70K. Why on Earth would you buy a five year old one just to save $10K? You wouldn't; you'll buy the new one.

  7158. So, the conflict being "over NATO" is considered Russian propaganda by the Democrats??? What is the conflict about then? The settlement in Istanbul, allowed Ukraine to join EU-----it just specifically disallowed entry into NATO; it allowed" Ukraine to have EU-style LGBTQ and all the liberalism, just not NATO weaponry aimed at Russia. So in 100% objective fact, the war *is "over NATO". Saying that it isn't is the true propaganda.

  7159. Always remember, this is a "special military operation" not a war. There is a reason Russia calls it that and if you ignore the reason you cannot understand what they are doing. Russias enemy are not the people of Ukraine, the enemy is the Zelensky government and its nationalists in the military leadership.

  7160. Many things will change after this war, one of the most important is We The People have got to get a handle on the State Department! These unelected people and the "shadows" behind them seem accountable to no one. At what point did Congress authorize State to try to change Ukraine from the top down in 2014???

Netanyahu: "Ok, however Putin just put a bunch of GPS jammers and S-400s into Iran. We can probably still do it, but many JDAMs will now miss, and even the F-35 will have to tread carefully around the S-400. Our costs to do this have now gone up significantly from two weeks ago." Blinken: "Again, do not worry about the costs. I have the full Faith and Credit of the citizens of The United States of America. They now fear and despise Putin so much, that I can take any amount of their tax money and they will thank me for it..."

  7176. BBC could do an article on the nature and origin of Ukrainian Nationalism. That would help immensely for most Westerners to understand this war. Ukrainian Nationalists believe they are "different" from Russians; in spite of 1500 years of evidence to the contrary. Russian and Ukrainian Prince's rode the same road to deliver their tributes to their Mongol rulers. This strain of nationalism is why they resisted collectivization, and Stalin punished them. Its why the Wehrmacht found little resistance when marching through Ukraine in 1941, as these very same nationalists in the West of the country hoped to carve out their own State (after Russia was defeated). It is the same nationalism why at this very moment, Azov and many of the "core" AFU brigades use all manner of former Wehrmacht imagery, on their uniforms, standards, vehicles. Reichsadlers, totenkopfs, balkenkreuz, twin lightning bolts ALL can be seen in any number of CNN front line interviews over the past two years. At one point Germany had to demand AFU erase the balkenkreuz they were hastily writing on their Leopard 2s and Marders. None of this is even in dispute. Zelensky is at the head of this movement and his alliance with like-minded diplomats in the US and UK (who are more anti-Russia, than Ukrainian nationalist), is the double-handed axe aimed right at Russia's heart. That is the truth....the hard truth.

  7189. NATO may have 31 members, but I can assure you only a few will send their citizens to fight Russia, even if Russia attacks Poland or UK, especially if the circumstances are "complicated". Should Russia reach its limit and knock a Global Hawk or P-8A out of the sky, who really thinks Spain will send its sons to die in Ukraine's trenches when the US has been goading Russia for two years? Think Greece has the time and inclination to send its sons to war to protect the UK, when the UK gloats daily over its Storm Shadow missile strikes that kill Russian citizens?

  7190. I'm only voting for the guy to prevent the Democrats from burning half the planet with their insane Crusade of warmongering. Diplomacy to end the wars everywhere and ejecting these "asylum seekers" is worth having a lecherous lout in the W.H...."

  7191. Yes, but Ukraine takes 3 - 5 x the losses and they have much fewer to give, hence the point. Broaden your understanding bro!

  7192. It has to be settled now so some new American or Brit leaders don't get any ideas of a new proxy war

  7193. US closing embassy in Kyiv, in case city gets deleted. Half the world holding its breath all because Biden decides to give Trump a 💩 sandwich as a parting shot
    1
  7194. Good point. How much you think a BMP or BTR costs? Its just steel, a diesel engine, and an automatic cannon. The really expensive T-72B3s, T-80BVs, and T-90Ms are quite rare, especially along a 1000 km front.
    1
  7195. They want to get it in before the US election because.....well....you know.... I actually am looking forward to this. Putin put S-400, Murmansk-1 EW jammer, a warship, and we just heard in the past few days, the mighty Su-57 into Iran, all with Russian service people. If IDF goes in there and gets smacked down it will be a public victory for Putin beyond even the Ukraine war....

  7200. Nameless foes just took a missile shot at a freakin US Navy Carrier Strike Group. When "Top Gun" came out in 1986, the preceding sentence was science fiction. This certainly ain't 1983 when Reagan was around. It isn't even 1993 with Bubba (who was William the Conqueror compared to US leadership since 2016). Almost 8 years of the fool, then the feeble-minded results in no one fearing the United States. Even Hamas dares the US Marines to come in on their turf and try them... Weakness invites challenge and the signal the US has sent to the world is: "the top dog don't want this anymore: step up and become the new alpha"

  7201. According to the Ukrainians, this guy is known for just sending waves of troops into battle for purely political purposes; as Zelensky wants, and as Zaluzhnyi refused to do. He is a "yes-man"

  7202. If Ukraine's future is in NATO, then Ukraine (and possibly the rest of us) have no future. That simple.

  7211. Dr. Felton, can you please start creating content on American History? You would weep a river of tears to learn how utterly ignorant most Americans are of the history of the United States. Most believe it started in 1774 or after the Civil War...
    1
  7212. I'm breathing a little easier today; the past few months I was really thinking Stoltenberg was crazy. He, Macron and Biden seemed like they really wanted to fight Russia. Now, knowing North Korea will jump in immediately if they attack Russia, these crazies have to back down.
    1
  7213. It is now 3pm CST where I am and the afternoon updates from the three main mil bloggers I follow start trickling in around now. Sometimes the days battle updates can vary a bit, but when they all definitively say the same thing, taken together that is Gospel. BBC/SKY said Russia sent VDV (Airborne) to Robotyne yesterday. If that is true that means THIS next line is the one where they mean to HOLD, because VDV are Paratroopers---the "Elite". This can only mean AFU is now in the kill box and they are not going to be "allowed" to go deeper. The only way forward for Ukraine is to smash through. Meaning drive up to the dragon's teeth and push them aside or blow them out of the way, bring up equipment to cross the anti-tank ditch, then via these crossings, continue forward. All under the fire of 100 guns, 1000 drones, mines, FAB-500s, attack helicopters, TOS-1A, Uragan, etc. Ummm, yeah.... If Ukraine tries to just brute force their way, the slaughter we will see in the next few days will be on the scale of Iwo Jima or Okinawa.

  7214. After what Israel has done , and is about to do.... Saying no to this bill is an act of humanity

  7215. The wider world can clearly see that the US and UK do not have clean hands in the Ukraine situation. Their hands are almost as dirty as Putin"s. Zelensky is neither bad nor good, only the willing dupes.

  7216. Don't mean isht. Hillary was 4 points ahead and got destroyed
    1
  7217. Stupid. Germany was far from home and outnumbered. Russia is in their own backyard and is the larger country.
    1
  7218. Putin's declaration was simply the opening round of the negotiations. When you begin negotiations, you always start with a position so in your favor, you know it will be rejected. Thats how negotiation works. Nobody wants to send their children to die for Ukraine, and no one is going to irradiate half the planet for Zelensky. The West would be fools to ignore the opportunity for peace because Russia can and will simply spend the next five years steamrolling the rest of the country if they have to.
    1
  7219. That was about 20% of the Hiroshima bomb...... Compared to a modern nuke that was a Lady Finger....
    1
  7220. Yeah publicly, privately they cannot. Biden doesn't have the authority to start a war with Russia. I knew this would be the result, Biden would have to go before Congress to get authority or he could start the war and have 60 days to get authority. But there are only two justifications: 1. Previous authorization or 2. We are attacked. Presidents can't start their own wars.
    1
  7221. In 2010 Ukraine had Yanukovych as President, on a path to economic modernization, trade with EU, etc, but NON ALIGNED on defense. No problem. No threats from Russia, no war, no death. Once the leadership went hard towards NATO, culminating in Zelensky in 2019. Their doom was sealed. Imagine Alaska suddenly voting to orient itself to Russia, with the goal of one day joining the RF. The United States would destroy it long before that happened
    1
  7222. Putin just signed a law banning sex change procedures in the Russian Federation. Not just on kids (which i agree with), even adults, as resisting "Western anti-family values". Why does that sound familiar?
    1
  7223. Like I said, Macron realizes the US military dominance of NATO is at an end; its 75-year run over. Someone needs to replace the US as the major source of weapons and only France has the MIC that can do ships, planes, tanks, missiles, and subs. Macron wants France to have the Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman's of the 21st Century. On this, I cannot blame him...
    1
  7224. I went to a private Christian school, and I can assure you, they would have erected a stake with kindling all around in the parking lot with a sign "reserved for harlots" before EVER allowing the kid of such a family to enroll / remain enrolled. Then again, that was in 1993 during the Roman Empire, when 70% of kids were born to married, two-parent homes. I go to Church now and yes, I see people who they'd never have allowed in 30 years ago all around (crazy hair, pierced, tatted, trashy clothes, etc.) , but there are some things that are non-negotiable.

  7225. So, the $205B and free weapons from 51 countries didn't help a bit, ya think??😂😂😂

  7226. They said they Kinzhal'ed Kyrylo Budanov a week ago, and no one has seen or heard from him since May 29....
    1
  7227. They talk like this is an objective that just needs some more resources to achieve. Russia's economy shifted to TOTAL WAR a year ago! They produce more shells than all of NATO combined. Russia gained more in 2023 than Ukraine has and Russia was never on the offensive. What will more money and weapons do??
    1
  7228. Trump = End the 80 year "Pax Americana" because it has bankrupted us and created no "Pax" at all. Harris = More neo-con, shining-light-on-the-hill regime change policy that has never worked. Your choice.

  7229. West changed the rules to give Ukraine an advantage...

  7230. They should have just called HughesNet. They've had satellite Internet service since the 1990s. Higher latency as the satellites orbit higher, but Internet is Internet. Ahh, Blinken probably did call HughesNet and they told him to gfy just like Musk did...
    1
  7231. This "buffer zone" Putin first talked about in October is going to be huge. The goal is to keep any Russian city out of range of cheap rockets and artillery. Today that is about 25km or so. If they take Kharkiv, it will become Kharkov and the "buffer zone" will have to encompass that city too, correct? Think of how much land RU will have to take to ensure Kharkov is about 25km from the nearest AFU gun. That is going to be a HUGE DMZ----probably 20% of Ukraine's remaining land as of today.
    1
  7232. Poles in 1612. Swedes in 1708. French in 1812. Germans in 1941. Now, the AmeriBrits in 2024 (whose proxy army contains Poles, Swedes, French, and Germans). I'm not European so this pattern makes no sense to me; what is the major malfunction Europeans have with Russians? Is there a reason Europeans keep trying to invade Russia???"

  7233. ? Because that was 35 fuccing years ago??

  7234. My first car was a 1984 Supra in 1989 when I was 19. I loved the Mk III but and IV but by the time I was out of college and could afford it, they were gone. When they announced the Mk V I was excited but then immediately deflated as it is just a rebadged BMW. I've had two BMWs and respect them, but a BMW is NOT a Supra. I wished the LC 500 or RC-F had just been de-contented to Toyota levels and would have been an excellent Mk V, not a dam BMW. If this is true, Toyota has another chance to get my money.
    1
  7235. Don't give him anything more, Joe. JASSM-ER only goes 100 miles further than the ATACMS they already have, and that is $3.5M a pop! The only really long range cruise missile we have is Tomahawk but you need a ship or sub to fire it. Just say NO!"
    1
  7236. Anyone ask Maggie and Huma what a country is to do if their birthrate is below "replacement" level? I mean, if there are fewer and fewer women, the women remaining must have more children on average. This is a "call" , much like a "call to arms" for men to support a patriotic purpose. You don't have to answer the call, but maybe for your country's future you'd consider it? Why the insertion of menace where no menace is apparent?
    1
  7237. As a child of the 80s, Russia was always the "evil empire". Rambo movies showed Russians as murderous and dishonorable. Now here I am wishing I could donate to Russia's war effort....
    1
  7238. Houthis----a band of rebels!----just captured a cargo ship by airborne assault and took it whole crew and all. Just like they said they would. This, after a month of Israeli and US demonstrating firepower that in one month did to a city what in WW2 would have taken a year. This awesome display of destructive capability has deterred exactly NO ONE. Instead, it has only emboldened them and now enemies of the United States sprout like weeds. When the strong give "warnings", and the weak take action, you know that the Emperor has no clothes...

  7239. ...and can't afford another war. I bet this time Biden talks instead of fights.

  7241. Good Don't fight each other for the West. Look where that got Ukraine

  7242. Aren't they going to use their new ICBMs Napolensky is bragging about them having now? Or their new jet drones? Or, their F-16s....oh wait....seems like they may have already lost a few of those last night...."
    1
  7243. Every single one of these F-16s is well past its airframe expected lifespan; ALL were to be retired in a few months----not years. They are A/B models built in the 80s, some of which were upgraded to C level equivalent. They are not stealth, and do not possess any weapon system, bomb, rocket, or missile that outranges S-300 detection range of 300 km, let alone that of S-400 or S-500 (which can shoot down spacecraft!!). If one somehow survived to engage in air combat, every Su-27, 30, 35 and Mig-35 outranges it and with beyond-visual-range missile do not even have to see an F-16 to obliterate it. It would be better for Ukraine to line up their pilots and shoot them than send them up in an F-16, as their survival chances of a bullet to the head would be higher...
    1
  7244. ...and Brits appalled by what NATO is doing to Russia should spy for Russia? Fair is fair.
    1
  7245. Spying...gathering targeting data to give to Ukraine.
    1
  7246. Agreed. NATO has too much investment in Ukraine to allow Russia to take it all. Look for the war to end this year, with NATO entering Western Ukraine, but taking a defensive posture. Biden calling Putin and eating a bit of crow, but saying "no further, you got what you wanted. Let's talk about a future we can all live with". Ukraine will exist but be smaller, there will be a DMZ or "buffer zone" (similar to NK/SK) between, and life will go on.
    1
  7247. LOL. Its not secret (we hear about it every day on the mil-blog channels). They aren't "behind" enemy lines, they are directly in front of enemy lines. They are infantry only as anything bigger than a golf cart gets deleted by RU drones. Next...

  7248. Just heard Zelensky rejected Orban's ceasefire proposal. 800 guided bombs are falling on Ukraine every week ----- EIGHT HUNDRED. Yet, sill Viceroy Zelensky refuses to use diplomacy...."

  7249.  @deceivedREALITY999  Moscow has hypersonic ballistic missiles that can reach UK or US and do NOT use nuclear warheads. They can vaporize 10 Downing Street and if UK wants to respond with a nuke, THEY become the bloodthirsty murdering war-criminals. Convenient, eh? 🙂

  7250. "Heil Zelensky!!"

  7251. Russia destroyed the starlink station in Kherson about 2 weeks ago, and they apparently are able to jam the signals even in areas where it still works. One Ukraine officer said losing starlink was more impactful than losing their fighter jets, because starlink was ALL of their drone controls. American GPS has long been jammed by Russia (why many JDAMs miss), so Ukraine only had starlink. That is gone now, which is why there have been very few videos of Ukraine drones on the Internet recently----nothing like the amount we saw January to May. Armistice. Now.
    1
  7252. "Experts" should be fact-checked just like Presidential debate candidates. The "experts" on Ukraine were almost universally 90% wrong; "shovels" , "they'll run from the Leopard" , "running out of missiles" , "Russia's economy is hurting" ; most of them got nothing right. They have zero credibility so why do media outlets keep hiring them?
    1
  7253. They sent 300 slow drones, and their smallest weakest ballistic missiles. They informed the US beforehand. I mean, you'd have to be a toddler not to realize what is going on here. Nobody wants World War Three, but where that "line" is no one is really sure, and no one wants to be the guy who "blinks" before that line is crossed. The non-NATO world is negotiating the contours of the next 100 years with the NATO world. We are all witness.

  7254. I would buy a Ghibli Trofeo over this all day every day. It has more physical beauty, aural and tactile involvement, and emotional character in the plastic clips that hold the airflow undertray than this Bimmer has in total....
    1
  7255. That's really funny if you think about it. After 15 months and the best efforts of 30+ different countries to arm his enemy with all manner of weaponry and NATO's best "wunderwaffe", the "most significant threat" Putin has faced is his own "chef". 🙂
    1
  7256. If you listened, Blinken, Austin, and Milley have stated it out loud dozens of times. US goal is to "degrade and weaken the Russian military". That is NOT the same thiing as for Ukraine to "win".
    1
  7257. Almost as if on cue, like lemmings the CNN Faithful see this pitiful little warship, with only four underwhelming C-802 anti-ship missiles, and point and laugh. Because such people are not used to thinking for themselves, they don't see the "Big Picture".
    1
  7258. This war has pushed natural gas prices to a 15 year high; where I live we get almost half our power from natural gas generation, so our electric rates are the highest seen since deregulation 20 years ago. Everything on Earth that uses natural gas in its creation or to move of course has also been affected in the same way. If the war ends today, the status quo is hardly different than 18 months ago so what has the planet gotten in return for its suffering? Not a damn thing...
    1
  7259. Just like you said, now public that Ukraine is moving troops from Kherson. You are more reliable than all western media combined
    1
  7260. Everything you said is also true of Russians. So why are you killing them on behalf of the West?
    1
  7261. LOL. "Now"??? Were you not awake on October 8th?? Did you not see ALL of the 155mm earmarked for Ukraine get diverted to Israel by the US??
    1
  7262. Duhh. We all know they aren't "deterred". Of course they are buying time; Shoigu didn't go to Tehran to bring flowers. He brought GPS jammers, drone jammers, AA systems and even the mighty Iskander-M. They need time to set all of that up and train the Iranians to use it. When it comes; it will be unexpected...."

    1
  7272. West Media reports that; even they don't actually believe it..."

  7273. Because Putin keeps NATO out and that is a "loss" to NATO. So they avoid it like the plague.

  7274. You cheered when Ukraine bombed a family returning from the beach.

  7276. why would Russia not deploy into Ukraine?

  7280. The whining, crying, and copium by the CNN/BBC crowd on here is absolutely hilarious!!! Whenever AFU makes a major eff-up, their brains simply refuse to believe it at first. Only after a few days of denial do they accept reality. Remember when RU put a missile into the big military drone show? Or the BBQ for the artillery brigade HQ? Or when AFU's missile looped back on itself and hit their own market?? Same as here: Disbelief. Denial. Acceptance. 😂😂😂

  7284. My major malfunction with the Biden Administration and the Blinken/Nuland neocons, is now resolved. There will never be US missiles in Mariupol. The US Navy will never have a base in Odessa or a squadron in the Sea of Azov. The NATO plan for Ukraine is defeated forever. If Russia ends up with all of remaining Ukraine or part of it hardly matters as the unification day a couple weeks ago showed NATO the people of Crimea and the annexed areas are with Russia. If the war ends today the neocons lost. That's all that really matters.

  7287. If US is flying drones for intelligence gathering and target acquisition for Ukrainian Army (which of course we are), then we are a combatant and "international waters" don't mean a ** thing. Good job, Russia. Down it in such a way that you can recover it , instead of blowing it to bits.
    1
  7288. Xi be like "Bro, WT holy F you think you are going to do here? You are vastly outnumbered, outgunned, and totally dependent on only what others are willing to give you. You cannot win by force of arms alone; use your brains instead of your balls and plan for the 'long game'. Peace. Now."
    1
  7289. Johnson should be ashamed to show his face. Ukraine had a deal in 2022 and the ONLY thing NATO didn't like about it is that it cut the US and UK out forever. The deal was fine for Ukraine itself, but it wasn't fine for the designs the US/UK had and that is why they sank it. So, Ukraine's generation of men have quite literally been sacrificed, not for their own country, but for the geopolitical desires of the US and UK

  7303. So Russia defeating almost $200B dollars in NATO weaponry, AND STILL HAVING A HUGE 300,000 MAN ARMY WITH THOUSANDS OF TANKS AND PLANES, makes them "weak"?
    1
  7304. Right like the 'base" in Syria that moved back and forth between the border depending on the needs of the "narrative" at the moment?
    1
  7305. Of course the "rules based order" will give Israel a pass as it always does, but objectively this is State-sponsored terrorism. These men are not in the field of battle, most didn't even appear to be military aged meaning they are political members, not military. Such an operation has a 100% likelihood of significant collateral damage. In essence, the operation contravenes two decades of NATO public policy statements as to how it conducts war. As, usual: Good for me, but not for Thee by the West..."

  7307. Not just Ukrainians. Vids on CNN and SKY from Sudzha clearly show Foreign Legion soldiers standing next to Ukrainian ones. Telegram channels show French and Polish wounded being transported back to Sumy to hospitals. Ukrainians are one thing, but all these NATO people who are there trying to subdue Russia deserve no sympathy; not their war, no reason for them to be there...."
    1
  7308. ....and US-made Strykers clearly visible inside Russia when Biden only authorized US weapons to be used on Russian territory in Kharkiv direction... Putin now like: "Oh, so its now OK for a proxy to directly attack US territory/assets using donated weapons?? Really now?? Hi Mr. Houthis, how many Zircon hypersonic cruise missiles would you like? I promise I won't ask what you're going to do with them..."

  7309. Probably not disaster; they are going to retreat once RU has critical mass of troops around them. The point was to go in there and create mayhem so CNN/BBC/SKY will put them back in the news cycle..."

  7310. Vivek doesn't get it. He can be 100% right on the facts, and still be 100% wrong on reality. This war isn't about Ukraine itself; it is (as always) about US "Illuminati"/Man-in-the-high-castle/ types wanting to destroy Putin's Russia. They DON'T CARE that most of what Ramaswamy said is true, because those things have NEVER mattered to them. If Vivek starts to look like a real threat, these types will have their knives out for him to the EXACT same degree they have them out for Putin.

  7311.  @Moscow_Will_Burn  Ukraine "standing" was never the issue. Ukraine being a base for NATO to choke Russia is the issue and that 'aint never gonna happen now. Now, go on with your life so my fuccing gas bill goes back to what it was in 2020. Your welcome.

  7312. Russian Parliament just passed a law that private armies must be under Military control. No surprise as this was Putin's decision last week and Prigozhin no doubt was well aware it would soon become law. He had to move immediately or never move at all. His timing was perfect----the execution----left a bit to be desired...

  7313. Smart. If your enemy was waiting for hard dry ground to attack, make the ground wet and muddy and he can't attack.

  7314. Hmm, he didn't condemn it when ATACMS cluster rounds shredded children on the beach in Crimea last week. Selective outrage?

  7315. LOL...Ukraine isn't "Europe"----hasn't been since 1917 ; hahaha they love that propaganda don't they? No amount of training can prepare soldiers for the real thing; if this is true it benefits both NK and Russia. SK says they are "1500 special forces", of course you have to be willing to believe SK. Imagine getting 1500 Green Berets; they already know how to shoot, drive vehicles, use a wide array of arms, but they have zero experience (especially their officers). Russia gets additional, already-trained manpower, while North Korea gains real combat experience for its elite forces. Something they can get nowhere else, and the experience for their junior officers and NCOs which are the backbone of any army, will be invaluable to NK.

  7321. Then they charge us the same or more for this fake isht...

  7322. All of these "Russian" attackers are now dead; Russia killed all of them in an airstrike. This shows weakness for Ukraine. Yesterday CNN had an article on how AFU is getting really good at building IEDs. Now, an insurgency attack? This just confirms what those of us with open minds have known all along; Ukraine cannot defeat Russia in a face-to-face war of attrition. Ukraine is preparing for a years long campaign of insurgency against Russian territory....much like Hamas vs. Israel.

  7323. How do UK citizens feel now that the news has come out that Boris Johnson, flew to Kiev (at US urging) and told Zelinsky not to sign a truce they had with Russia and if they did there would be no security guarantees from western allies? This could have been over months ago.

  7326. I knew France had some kind of deep beef with Russia that they didn't have three years ago. Who can forget Macron sitting at that giant table across from Putin on the eve of the invasion, trying to talk him out of it? I did not know France's colonial interests were still this extensive; we are about to have a Franco-Russian War and it really has nothing to do with NATO or Ukraine----its personal.

  7328. The Ukrainian people don't really matter in all this; Ukraine is just where the two Big Dogs meet to settle their score. US Biden Administration is filled with Left Wing "globalists" like Blinken---Ivy League types who think their brains are better than everyone else's. It was they who lured Zelensky with their free "wunderwaffe" offer; telling him "don't share with Putin, we'll give you the weapons to beat Russia". Why? So America could one day put those Aegis Ashore missiles currently in Romania and Poland, 500 miles closer to Moscow, tightening the noose that will eventually result in Russia being America's slaves. Who here believes Romania, Bulgaria, Poland, Lithuania, etc. have a choice when the US "asks" them for a favor?? They have NONE; they are the willing lapdogs of whomever is in the White House; good little pups whose master changes every four years. Russia under Putin is one of the few countries on Earth (Iran, NK, China are the others) that say "fucc you America. We don't want to swim in your pool, no matter how big it is. We know that if we do that, YOU control whether we can swim or not. We will build and maintain our OWN pool." That makes America, the bully mad, very mad.

  7353. Orban is building a NATO coalition, with Meloni, Le Pen, and others who have a different view than the US/UK-led bloc in power for decades. Trump will join this coalition; everyone thinks he won on Immigration alone in 2016, but he actually won on Isolationism and focus on domestic issues too. He flat out said it: "America First".

    1
  7358. It is a proxy war. The West totally ignores the US political reality that Donald Trump is running for President in 2024 and Putin helped him win in 2016. Trump is basically the Anti-Christ to Biden's Democrat Party. To them, getting Putin now can make up for the pain he caused in 2016. If you don't understand this angle, you are missing half the reason the US is so obsessed with this fight and its outcome.

  7359. After the $400M Austin gave away to the Comedian today, there is only $5B left in the last authorized pot-o-tax-money the DEMs approved in the previous session. Congress has passed five bills appropriating $175 billion in response to Russia's February 2022 invasion of Ukraine. Remember this when you vote; remember that sending all the illegals home and securing our borders for an orderly and safe immigration process is said to cost $100B. Harris says that like its a bad thing. $100B for something guaranteed to be good for us citizens or continue to waste on top of the $175B already thrown away by the DEMs on something that only helps Zelensky and his Nationalists......not a single solitary American citzen. Your choice

  7360. WTH is wrong with all these new generation Western leaders??? In the 80s we left the Bear alone (and the Bear left us alone); only time we met was in Vietnam, Afghanistan, etc. places that were leaning to one side or the other. We NEVER went into each other's backyard to fucc with them, because no one wanted to die in WW3. Did Macron and Kallas, and many others not see "Oppenheimer" last year???

They'll all blame it on Biden as pretty soon he won't even remember he started this war. We MUST make sure the real architects, Nulan, Blinken, etc. do not get away without accountability.
    1
  7366. ... what's really crazy is it only took about 6,000 troops and a week to do it. When you can drop a guided bomb every 30 seconds, and you have 10 guns to every one your enemy has you don't need 30,000 soldiers to break through. It isn't 2022 anymore; RU fights like US now.
    1
  7367. 300K in that small of territory? If they send that many the casualties will be enormous. Hamas knew this would be the response, and is prepared for exactly this. Every street corner will be an ambush, every garbage can a bomb, every window will have a sniper, and drones will descend like flies. In the tight urban confines, it will be a bloodbath.

Then UK will have to fight the Bear all by itself and we all know what that will result in...."

  7378. If RU has such detailed information about brigade level celebration within AFU, they have very deep spy network in Ukraine. Those FAB hits for months in Kherson, we have no way to know if they do anything other than demolish a building. However, I now believe their spies are highly accurate and each FAB explosion is wiping out at least 30 AFU each time on average.

Your ghost is lingering here on the mortal plane, wondering what just happened when you realize you are dead.

  7388. No Western nation will attack Russia in Ukraine now. Fighting Russia means fighting NK too and France wants no part of that

  7389. US is a Capitalist country, not Socialist. This means that our citizens from a very early age learn in a thousand ways both subtle and overt, that money gets you a different standard of living. We don't expect to all sit quietly on clean, nice public buses and trains as adults, because we learned as children that "public" anything means "lowest common denominator". We learn that just a little effort on our part gets us MORE than "public", and a lot of effort on our part gets us a LOT more than "public". Europeans learn the opposite; that's why you go to Spain and even the people with money CHOOSE to ride the trains. Ergo, the vast majority of Americans will never use public transportation, no matter how nice or convenient, because they know they can put in a little extra effort and they don't have to, allowing them not to have to share their living space with people who do not put in any extra effort.

The UN, as the lapdogs of the United States, has zero credibility, just as NATO longer has. Everything they accuse others of, they themselves are just as guilty of the same. When everyone is a "war criminal"; no one is...

  7393. This "threat" is made up to scare us into blessing the aid package. The US directly guided the Ukraine sea drone attack last night with RQ-4 Global Hawk (and made no effort to hide this fact). They did this to goad Russia into doing something they could spin as a "threat" to the US as people will spend money to defend the US but not to defend only Ukraine. These are very interesting times we are living in...

Zaluzhny, Budanov, whoever was in the facility they just Kalibr'ed yesterday. Smart. Don't kill Zelensky as he is not "military"; kill (or put into a coma) everyone around him who is.

  7404. Depends on how many Napolensky has sent... They haven't moved much in two days, a pincer here, a probing attack there, as they are completely surrounded. Neither side has "critical mass" yet, and AFU had to rush to send men back to the Belarus border when Lukashenko moved tanks up yesterday (and shot down an AFU drone). Remember Russia is the largest country by landmass on the earth; if you wrapped Russia around a sphere, it would be bigger than Pluto. Napolensky's legions have about 1.1% of it...."

  7406. Yesterday the Brits over on BBC were yakking just the same; saying their ships had nothing to fear from this little Iranian frigate. Then I reminded them that as soon as that Iranian ship meets and sails with a Russian warship, it becomes as untouchable as the HMS Queen Elizabeth supercarrier. Didn't hear from them anymore... 🤣

  7407. I keep hearing from DEMs that a good chunk of this aid is to "replenish our own stocks since we gave it to Ukraine already" but of course they never say what exactly that is. So, we've been low on shells and AA missiles for six months because Biden shipped the stuff to Ukraine assuming this would pass back in December??? Isn't that the definition of gambling with OUR national security ??

  7410. Stupid CNN and BBC and all the rest believing every word Russia says. Wagner may be "leaving" Bakhmut but that is only because it is 95% occupied by Russians and they are needed there no longer. They are going South where Ukraine has massed its NATO "army". Wagner are the best urban soldiers on the Earth at the moment; they are being redeployed to meet this "offensive" and destroy it.

  7417. If the loss is very close, down to one or two States, and within those states the margin is in the tens of thousands, I don't blame either side for demanding a recount. If the margin is significant, > 2 States and the margin is in the hundreds of thousands, I hope either side will graciously concede. Doing so is one thing I miss from elections prior to 2016. If you lost, accept it with dignity and congratulate your opponent (even if you secretly despise them).

  7422. In 2015 President Obama refused to arm Ukraine to fight Russia because he believed that Russia had escalatory dominance : any capability the US would be willing to give, RU could leapfrog meaning there was no way for Ukraine to win. Biden was VP at that time so it is really hard to understand how 8 years later he could have been convinced that was no longer the case...."
    1
  7423. I look at many articles over the past month or two and most (outside of the Western "bubble" media like BBC/CNN etc.) saw this coming all along. Virtually all military commenters said there is no way Ukraine can defeat Russia in direct armed conflict; some commenters were saying this in September, 2022. Everyone is now aware of all the reasons they cited: lack of ammo, lack of air power, lack of artillery, lack of tanks, lack of manpower. Now, that all can see these commenters were 100% correct in their assessment, why do so many think another weapon will make any difference? Why does it seem like Biden wants to win this war more than Ukraine does?

  7425. This better not be true. Ukraine now the CIA's "wet work" arm? I figured there was some expectation Ukraine would pay the US back for the $100B in some way, but I never figured on this. I'm 100% certain that if true, it would be that Nosferatu Blinken and his succubus Nuland behind this. Remember right after the Niger coup, Nuland flew in and the first thing she did was threaten the military government.

  7434. TBH, that "command center" in the Pentagon is a legitimate target for a Kinzhal strike. Only its location in Virginia keeps it from such attention; its function absolutely would warrant immediate and total destruction by Russia by any rule of war.

  7437. Russia has zero interest in Belgium and even if it did, they'd have to go through Poland and Germany first, which, lets be honest, is as likely as an alien invasion.

  7441. US cannot attack Iran without an authorization from Congress. Which is why the Biden Admin. will "coordinate" with Israel, meaning the US military will arm, equip, and direct IDF without our planes or ships actually firing. That's what makes war by proxy so appealing; just have the proxy do what you yourself legally cannot....
    1
  7442. Well, I was hoping Iran would hold back because they know Israel and US would love to be able to respond. I assume they took this long to move everything associated with their nuke program under a mountain. Gas going to $15 a gallon, eggs going to $20 a dozen. The drones are just "clutter" so the ballistic missiles get through....if they are Fateh-110s, whole blocks will be deleted when they hit.

  7445. I love the part where DEMs explain that a big part of the supplemental aid is buy new stuff to replenish the stocks of our own that were given to Ukraine months ago because everyone assumed this aid would have passed back in January So basically for almost six months we---the United States--have been weakened since Biden gave Ukraine the weapons and ammo expecting the aid bill to just sail through and they'd order more.

  7446. I saw a BMP drving into Avdiivka with a big Russian flag on it. It had more holes in it than a cheese grater, its anti-shaped charge fence armor hanging by a few bolts, belching diesel smoke like a 1990s school bus. YET THERE IT WAS VICTORIOUS; DPR ASSAULT TROOPS RIDING ATOP IT, CARRYING THE FLAG OF MOTHER RUSSIA IN VICTORY! British Challenger nowhere to be seen, like a phantom. NATO will not defeat Russia; far tougher have tried and failed throughout history. Pure folly.

  7451. Anglo Saxons have believed themselves superior to Slavs for at least 1500 years. Putin's slam on Poland last week was 100% true; Poland's modern borders were formed in 1945 at the Yalta Conference, where they got some former German territory in exchange for the USSR giving back some territory. This is the basis for Putin's "gift from Stalin" crack. Probably only 1% of Americans have even heard of the Yalta Conference let alone know anything about it. This utter ignorance of our populace is one of the main reasons our foreign policy blunders are so numerous. Putin isn't the only "fighter" against the West (China and Iran certainly are in that club now), but he is absolutely the first in the modern era. When it comes to Africa, the US has virtually no historic moral standing to comment at all; that's like Nazi Germany commenting on the affairs of modern day Israel.

  7455. Trump is 100% correct: First dry up the reasons people come here illegally. That will slow the tide and some who are already inside, will decide it isn't worth it anymore and go home. If managed smartly, by the time Trump has to get tough and deport people, a huge chunk will have already left. Those affected know they are on the way out won't wait and will just leave on their own. Better to manage your own repatriation; close accounts, move money, sell cars, ship your stuff back home to your relatives, etc. and leave on your own, than to just wait until you are put on the bus one day and you don't have time to do all that.

  7459. Even now after three years of the myth of "shovels", "running out of missiles", etc. the West when faced with the unknown respond with false bravado. These aren't conscripts dragged out of nightclubs and given three weeks "training" like Ukraine uses. These are fully trained Special Forces ; hard-core dudes like Rangers, Spetznaz, Fallschirmjaeger, etc. If you've ever met a SOF type; you know they are NOT like normal people. Yes, these NK troops have zero combat experience, but they are trained in all the basics of infantry combat, can likely drive most any military vehicle, can use a wide array of weaponry (almost certainly most Russian infantry weapons), and most important want to be there . Special Forces soldiers from any army on earth, long to prove themselves in combat and likely volunteered for this extremely high-profile mission. What true warrior would not jump at the chance to write his country's name into the annals of martial glory for the first time in over 70 years?? That's why NATO is reacting so strongly to a few thousand troops (when over a million are engaged): After a short learning curve, these guys will tear through AFU conscripts and Territorial Defense as if they were not even there...

  7460. Is there anyone on earth who DIDN'T believe it was Ukraine (with Biden Administration blessing)??? Oh, guess who blew up that dam------same folks.

  7461. There is serious talk of Russia just using a 500 kiloton nuclear weapon on Orekhov to just wipe out the 50,000 NATO trained troops there. The war will be over, with very little civilian loss of life and only a few square miles irradiated for 20 years. A small price to pay to prevent the madness brewing for 2024. Zelensky announced new total mobilization of up to 500,000 soldiers by next Spring. US intelligence two weeks ago put Ukraine KIA at 300,000+ for the war and that was before the slaughter this past week. A nuke that kills 40,000 or so, but ends the war and saves the lives of 200,000 or 300,000 seems like mercy.
    1
  7462. The Ukraine war was over 18 months ago; Russia is now producing 75,000 FAB guided bombs per year----does anyone believe that is for Ukraine? They are already pulverizing Ukraine for the past year just using 12,000 such bombs per year. That is for EUROPE. They are fully aware the Brits and French really want to get into it with them; they've been preparing for the next war for over two years. The best EU can do is arm up so they don't look like a fat salmon to the Bear; and hope that keeps the peace for the next 50 years.

Ukraine has to launch their Storm Shadows, then fly to Poland to land because the Kinzhals and Iskanders will be only 20 minutes behind them if they land in Ukraine. How will an F-16 change this?

AFU is falling back across the entire front; Russia has reversed ALL summer AFU gains near Bakhmut, and the amphibious landing attempt by Ukraine has amounted to nothing. Even if the money is approved, all it would do is buy some time on the sinking Titanic.

Biden and his gang of World Enders like Nuland and Blinken thought they'd beat Putin on the cheap just in time to host the ceremony for Russia's Surrender on the deck of the USS Gerald Ford sometime in early 2024. A sweet ride to a second term with no American lives lost and only a few tens of billions----a mere rounding error to the United States. They have failed in that, at the very least.

  7481. Texas has nothing on Missouri when it comes to the 4th of July. Last night my house sounded as if it were in Ukraine; at one point around 9pm I tried to count the seconds of silence and I never got to more than three. Some booms were so loud they shook the house; yet somehow I fell asleep. I woke up at 4am and utter silence....

  7482. In the 80s Reagan said "a nuclear war cannot be won..." and everyone agreed, even Russia. Over the past 25 years, Western Military egg-heads have promoted this idea of "limited nuclear war" that the US could possibly "win" (whatever that means). Their argument is basically that if we target everything at Russia's known ICBM sites, we can destroy enough that their response will be "survivable". This Ukraine war and the constant escalation by Biden proves these egg-heads must have won the internal debate within the Pentagon. Lord, help us.

  7485. After Austin visited Kyiv on Nov. 20th, they told him what it would take to "win" (return to 1991 borders) and it was something like $400B and 7 million shells. Austin told them that was physically impossible as there are not that many 155mm shells on the earth. This is when the Zelensky/Zaluzhny split really got bad. Zaluzhny realized that "win" as they defined it is not possible and was leaning to negotiation. Zelensky would not hear of it and that's why his announcement last week of the change in general had all this "we need positive thinking" language. Zaluzhny will run for President and he will win as he is more popular, and when he wins Ukraine will make a pragmatic turn in this war. Biden is fully aware of this which is why he refused Putin's offer last week to negotiate; he knows they will be negotiating in a few months anyway...

  7487. The Ukrainian northern defense line near Kupiansk collapsed yesterday, by now you've heard that Kupiansk and dozens of smaller towns in the area under mandatory evacuation order. It isn't just to limit civilian casualties; it is also because Ukraine does not trust its citizens so close to the Russian border. If they are all gone, none of them can spy for the tsunami of men and steel that are now bearing down on the entire Front. 100,000+ Russians and over 900 tanks, massing there for almost a month (and don't even cry about 'lies"; UK and Ukraine have both estimated that 100K number). Today, Karkhiv is now under evacuation order as well, as there is no guarantee the brigades Ukraine is rushing to the area can stop the steamroller at Kupiansk. Oh yeah, today Russia totally smashed the Ukrainian salient north of Bakhmut; inflicting hundreds of casualties while destroying many armored vehicles. Su-34s now range across both Fronts with FAB-500 GLONASS-guided bombs, as Ukraine's AA capability, worn down by months of drone attacks, is now incapable of stopping them. Cry all you want. Tomorrow you'll wake up and realize its all true. Just as at Kursk in 1943, once the Russian steamroller starts, nothing can stop it.

  7494. Russia has defeated Leopard, AMX10, Bradley, Avenger, HIMARS, JDAM, Switchblade, Patriot, CAESAR, Gephard, Excalibur, M777, Stinger, Milan, Javelin, Storm Shadow, and Challenger was prohibited by UK so it's the same as it not being there. None of that can even be disputed. Yet, a lot of CNN "consumers" on here still believe Ukraine is just an F-16 (or 1000) away from being able to win. Russia defeated two of the largest armies in history in Napoleon and Hitler; what chance did little Ukraine ever have?

  7495. Just looking at the engine bay conveys the fact that at no point during the design of this vehicle did anyone ever say "...no, that would cost too much---use the cheaper one or leave it out..." I looked through those brake cooling ducts and there is airflow sculpting on the inside of them. Who else is that insane about quality and detail? Maybe Porsche? OMG the sound; I closed my eyes and it sounds like the Mach 5 when Speed Racer is pushing down on the pedal with his foot. 295/30/24----I've owned 25 different cars and not one of them has ever had even one of those numbers in the tire size let alone all three! To me this thing is like the new RS6; such an exquisite example of modern mass manufacturing that I'd buy it and never drive it---just park it in the garage and look at it from time to time like fine art.
    1
  7496. If this is Ukraine's "big push" all their military leaders need to be replaced. You don't send your columns forward with no artillery bombardment; that is just insane and so far Ukraine has not been insane so I don't believe this is more than "probing" attacks. Once they decide where to attack, it will rain shells in that (and other) area for hours before they move forward and the shell rain will "lead" their vanguard elements. If they aren't doing it like this they deserve to lose...

  7497. Iran doesn't fight straight up face-to-face; they never have in modern times as they are simply not strong enough. I doubt they will ever fight that way, even once they have nukes and Su-35s. You have to spend A LOT of money to fight another nation straight up. Iran spends $24B a year on military and Israel very close at $23B----but Israel has US backing it up 100& and US is $900B. With numbers like that, you'd be a fool to fight straight up----much better to fight by proxy. That is not "internal weakness" holding back Hezbollah, that is Iran smartness...

  7498. Are those cops?? Did they send US Marines to capture him?? WTF??

  7499. No one said Ukraine can't attack Russia; they can but they agreed to not use NATO weapons to do it. If this is some home-grown, or improvised-with-Chinese-stuff-they-bought-on-eBay type drone fine. No such cobbled-together weapons could really do more than start fires; anything big enough to actually destroy something of value would have to be manufactured and Russia would just Kinzhal the factory. Now, if one of them says "MADE IN USA" or "MADE IN UNITED KINGDOM" that is a problem. A BIG problem. Once that becomes normalized, there is no reason for Russia not to donate some non-nuclear ballistic missiles to Iran and say "have at it".

  7505. Weeb had a post a few days ago saying Russians are planning something in the north very soon. Since all of Ukraine's best combat power is in the south, a northern "pincer" whose only real goal is to draw Ukraine forces to it from the south, spreading AFU out thinner and allowed them to be destroyed in detail. I wonder if that speculation is correct and that is why Ukraine is evacuating in the north.

  7509. LMAO. Today Russia and CNN agree: both announce Ukraine is (FINALLY) rolling the dice. It was tactically smart of Ukraine to blow up the dam. This was Ukraine covering its redeployment from Kherson to Zaporizhzhia region where they were blunted two days ago. They could not move their main combat force from Kherson without risking the Russians just walking through there in their absence. They blew the dam to ruin the area for offensive action for either side. It appears the NATO-trained hammer blow is going to strike in Zaporizhzhia. Ukraine only has one army; it can't be in two places at once and if they split it up it will be weak and easily crushed in detail. The "Big Dance" is going to be in Zaporizhzhia (no surprise, it was either Kherson or Zaporizhzhia). Always remember the US is doing all the strategy for Ukraine, providing the intelligence, telling them what to do, where, and how.

  7515. The past two years have proven without a doubt that our Military Industrial Complex has grown far too fat and complacent. Our weapons do not perform any better than Russian ones and they cost 10 times as much. All the slick powerpoints and marketing vids shown at trade shows mean nothing when those weapons come up against a near-peer opponent with State-level multi domain expertise. War is a cauldron that, over time, forges a highly efficient industry and we haven't had a war that challenges our industry in 70 years. I grew up believing our stuff was always better and could beat anything from any other country. Russia has exploded the myth...

You'll only really lose the dynamic handling of those Euro sleds, but honestly nobody buying those does more "handling" than taking the overpass at 70 instead of 50. In exchange you get a MASSIVE upgrade in utility by going with something like this, without giving up very much luxury and tech at all. $78K won't even get you a base model of the Euros. Think of this as a luxury sedan and it makes a lot of sense.

BTW, Has anyone at CNN or BBC seen or heard from chief of the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense Kyrylo Budanov over the past three days??

  7532. This is the stupidest "war" ever fought; it really is. It isn't even a "war" so much as NATO and Russia negotiating who gets how much of Ukraine's resources and instead of doing it at a conference table they are doing it with soldiers and war machines. Perfect example is this debate: US has the satellite intel, UK does not. Storm Shadow can't be programmed with targets without US so even that UK/FR are ok will their missiles being used to bomb Russia, they can't because US won't give the target data because US don't want to go any further than they already are on this "bomb Russia" train. Absurd isn't it?

  7536. This is fun to watch but makes almost zero logical sense. Only if Samcrac or his buddy just wanted a cheap beater would this be worth the time. No regular buyer would want this. You can just buy a Phaeton in good shape for $10K and be done with it. By the time you get this one into good enough shape to drive and not embarrass yourself, you've spent at least $5K already. The cost of the time to get it there plus the headache and expense of insuring a salvage title vehicle means this is just a waste of time. No one who needs a car and has only $10K to spend will bother with this and anyone who can afford a $5K toy can also afford a $10K toy so why bother??

  7537. Honestly the best thing for all at this point is no more Ukraine at all. That way NATO doesn't get it, and neither does Russia. Everyone can live with that.

  7548. We KNOW Germany didn't. We KNOW Russia didn't. Only Ukraine and US have a vested interest in it. Both of them are so close at this point does it even matter which of them is really is? Biden holds Zelensky's leash.

  7549. Wow. A lot of information here that really frames the "big picture". Ukraine seems to me to have a helluva lot of FPV drones, so to hear Russia vastly outnumbers them is a bit shocking. I wonder if "drones" means all types, because for FPV it "appears" that AFU and RU are on equal terms. 20,000 AFU in the Avdiivka pocket? That is half the NATO-trained army from Robotyne; that is a LOT of manpower Ukraine sent there and that explains why it hasn't fallen yet. After the war, a battle patch from Avdiivka is going to be on the same level as one from Bakhmut.

  7551. Hmmm, I didn't realize AFU built significant fortifications in the Kursk salient. If you analyze where that Iskander hit was, that is pretty deep inside what the "bulge" was in say, October. Meaning they had the safety of air defense back then in order to be able to build it; its safe to assume the closer RU gets to Sudzja the more defenses we'll see.

The West Media is constantly showing a burning oil tank and they are pushing hard the narrative that these can potentially affect RU economy not in years but in months. I don't trust anything CNN/BBC says about this war; can you do a little research on how many of these hit, how serious, what is possible effect?"

Will make zero difference to the war on the ground, but will flame a months worth of $20K Geran drones. Gotta keep those Brit workers gainfully employed.... Just enough to keep the "war" going, keep the factories churning, keep the money flowing. I swear this "war" is not a war at all; it really isn't. It is just a power play between NATO vs. Russia done such that the planet doesn't burn, and "managed" just enough that the war factories on ALL sides hum perfectly. If I were a soldier for Ukraine I'd drop my weapon and refuse to fight anymore until someone told me clearly how it is supposed to end and exactly how we are going to get to that point."

I assume they took this long to move everything associated with their nuke program under a mountain. Gas going to $15 a gallon, eggs going to $20 a dozen.

  7575. I give you props, man. I'm pro-Russia, you are pro-Ukraine but you are even-handed in your assessments of the situation. However, I think you should show people the videos on YouTube. American people are not seeing what war is really like; I'm sure you've seen the vids all year long of bodies blown apart in trenches of Ukriane and Russian alike. It is horrific; nasty and ugly and terrible for young men to be dying like that over something that could have been resolved more than a year ago by negotiation. That is my biggest problem with this war: Biden could have avoided it in the summer of 2021, but he listened to the hawks and chose to fight with Ukraine as the proxy.

  7578. Scholz sad "no" to Taurus (again for the 45th time) today; and there is some rumbling within NATO about UK's aggressiveness being a bit too much. Especially since Joe Biden has no authority to start a war with Russia without Congressional approval. He can start one and get approval within 60 days but only if: "...only by declaration of war by Congress, "statutory authorization", or in case of "a national emergency created by attack upon the United States, its territories or possessions, or its armed forces". None of which even remotely apply. So, for now, UK would be alone vs. Russia and we all know how that would go...."

  7583. Russia will crush Ukraine, as any student of history knew was inevitable from the start. What is also inevitable is that no American who had a hand in their destruction will pay even the faintest price. Biden, Austin, Blinken, and Nuland will go on to retirement, or on to cushier roles in the private sector. While 100,000 Ukrainian graves sprout new shoots, 400,000 live without a limb, or an eye, or an intact mind, and millions more go on in a Rump State Ukraine denuded of 80% of her wealth-producing land. A weak and shattered remnant awaiting only to be put out of its misery by Poland or Romania.

  7594. I am waiting to judge until I see what Russia's response to NATO opening up their weapons on Russian soil will be. If there is no responding escalation, Russia is doomed as I said even two years ago, the longer the war goes on, the more it favors NATO. NATO and Russia are like two mafias fighting over Ukraine as their "turf". They both must avoid complete open war, as the mayor, the police chief, Feds, would come down hard on everyone and then both sides lose. However, they must respond to each others' escalations in a way that sends a message. NATO just sent Russia a new "message"; have to see what the response will be...."

It will be the "trigger" word for a generation of politicians to get public dollars without much effort at all.

  7599. Its only the target to draw AFU reserves there, so RU can walk in everywhere else. So far, the Kharkiv incursions have been one of the most successful operations of the war. RU just pouring through wherever they want in Zaporizhzhia and Donetsk and Luhansk

  7603. Did they not get the memo that in exchange for $100B in weapons and us paying all their public sector salaries and pensions, they are supposed to celebrate July 4th as Independence Day?? We'll let this one go, but next year make sure you get it right or there will be consequences. Fireworks, hot dogs, Coke, and don't forget your handguns...just like a good little Protectorate.

  7604. He's crude, but he is 100 percent correct and those of us screaming at our screens the past four years FINALLY have a voice they can't delete/silence/hide. The DEMs want to use the US Military to force their values down the throats of the world and under their leadership, we've become the very tyrants we decry. Yesterday, the UN voted 187-2 for us to end the economic blockade of Cuba. The "2" were us and Israel; who are the "rogue nations" now??

  7607. They'll cause more Russian casualties. However that alone won't change the outcome, and now the US has thrown away its favorite "club" to use at the UN on countries it doesn't like: human rights abuse. By bending inward on its own standards, the US can no longer accuse anyone of a "war crime" for use of such weapons, as they are now "war criminals" too. Also, Russia will likewise feel justified in ratcheting up to a new way of inflicting mass casualties on Ukraine in response; they are now justified in using tactical chemical weapons for example. Terrible decision and precedent by Biden---history will savage him for this.

Bill the State of California for ALL losses nationwide.

  7611. This doesn't surprise me. Just look at how many "off ramps" have been available to world leaders over the past three years and in NO case did they take it.

My kids beat my 2012 Enclave to death but its at 140K miles and that 3.6l V6 still idles so smooth I can't even tell its running. If I had to do it all over I'd trust the Atlas way more than a Kia; Korean cars never last more than 6 or 7 years. However I'd pop for the V6 as I'd trust it over the long haul more than the 2.0T, especially loaded with the family and luggage and going up the mountains to Breck or down to Miami, etc. I learned from the Enclave; if you have a big family that is just like towing----get the tow package (trans cooler) but I think that is only available with the V6.

  7614. I have never wanted to see America get its face bashed in ever in my life; however that is exactly what I want to see China and Russia do now. We decided that the Ukraine situation was the opportunity to teach Putin a lesson on the cheap----no American lives at risk. It is backfiring right in our faces and I fear our leadership will not back down now for fear of losing face; when the time comes American lives are needed for them to get out of this with their credibility intact, they won't hesitate to send our sons and daughters into Ukraine.

  7653. Hmmm, make sense now why Russia has been bombing airports in and around Kyiv the past few weeks. There are only a few airports in Ukraine with long enough runways for an F-16, so turning them into pockmarked rubble is a good strat. You can be sure if CNN is reporting this today, the Russians knew about it a month ago.

  7654. Obama refused to arm Ukraine in 2015 for the very reasons we've seen over the past two years: everything we would be willing to give, Russia can overmatch . No point in bothering to arm Ukraine for a war they cannot win. I wonder if Obama has privately told Biden "I told you so" once or twice in the past couple years?"

  7655. They will have to. They cannot stop Russia defeating AFU, establishing a 15km deep "security zone" all along their shared border, and Ukraine, in whatever form it takes, will never be part of NATO as long as Putin is around. The long view is the only option left open....

  7657. From TImes Now (India) November 4, 2024 - Maria Zakharova, spokesperson for Russia’s Foreign Ministry, delivered a scathing critique of the American electoral process, questioning its legitimacy and integrity. During her address from Moscow, Zakharova highlighted the turmoil surrounding the election, noting that nearly 60 million ballots had already been cast through early voting. She expressed concern over the "irregularities" and "oddities" observed within the U.S. electoral system, which she claimed shocked many observers around the world." You gotta love those Russians; no matter when, no matter how, no matter what; they will always spit in our coffee in any way they can. 🙂

  7659. Ukraine is not the first time the US pushed someone into war: On July 28, 1941, the United States halted oil sales to Japan to punish them for what they were doing in Manchuria. At the time 90% of the fuel oil for the Japanese Navy came from the US. So, on that day Japan had a choice: stop your war of expansion and watch your fleet you invested 20 years and billions into rust in port, or widen your war to Britain's Imperial domain, and take SE Asia and the oil resources there for yourself (and prepare to fight the US Navy who would undoubtedly come to help Britain).

  7663. As far as tanks go, this is one of the best overall. I know it will last for 20 years, but honestly who wants to drive the same vehicle for 20 years?? 10 years is my personal limit. In that timeframe a lot of other options will be just as reliable. For that reason I'd go Grand Wagoneer over this every time. The V8 and the interior that slaps this Lexus all over the schoolyard and takes its lunch money, seals the deal. The Jeep will last till 2030 and that's all I'd want from it anyway.

  7664. ...and in yesterday NY Times, Ukraine is planning to send newly-trained female soldiers to face Storm-Z, Akhmat, and Spetznaz, all with two years now of combat experience in the most brutal warfare, and most of the comments were POSITIVE!!

The longer this war goes on, the more and more its effects and after effects will spiral out of control. What was NATO leadership thinking a year ago??

  7668. When even former US military bloggers are shaking their heads today incredulously, you know we are on the brink. Joe Biden doesn't have the authority to start a war with Russia; that is very clear: "The War Powers Resolution (also known as the War Powers Resolution of 1973 or the War Powers Act) (50 U.S.C. ch. 33) is a federal law intended to check the U.S. president's power to commit the United States to an armed conflict without the consent of the U.S. Congress. The resolution was adopted in the form of a United States congressional joint resolution. It provides that the president can send the U.S. Armed Forces into action abroad only by declaration of war by Congress, "statutory authorization", or in case of "a national emergency created by attack upon the United States, its territories or possessions, or its armed forces". So, if Joe gets on TV tonight or this weekend to give us a "why we fight" speech, then worry. Otherwise, this is all bluff on both sides...."

At this point you almost have to wonder if NATO is intentionally trying to denude Ukraine of all its male citizens between the ages of 10 and 80....
    1
  7670. what the fuck is wrong with you? Russia has a right to exist without US missiles on their border threatening their freedom! Zelensky could easily have told NATO "piss off" and become neutral and no problem. He choose the Biden ride-along and now his country lay in ruins.

By US law no President can start a war without Congress and you can be dam sure The People will not tell our Congressional delegates to start a war with Russia!!!"

  7680. I get a lot of burn on these stories when I post my solution to this crazy problem that seems unique to the US. Regular visits for men to the rub'n'tug spa covered under medical plans like two annual dental cleanings, etc. The ONLY way a man could be THIS frustrated is he hasn't been laid in weeks or months. Go to Europe or Asia and it is almost unheard of for men to have this level of hair-trigger rage over such inconsequential things. You rarely even heard people blow a horn in Madrid but here men all over want to shoot you if you move into their lane. Its crazy. I can't think of anything else to explain the American male and his constant simmering rage other than he's had no release for months. Twice a month I treat myself and I''ll tell you after a deep tissue massage and happy ending by a lovely young lady, I'm so relaxed I could be carjacked and I'd be like "oh whatever man...I always wanted a red one anyway..." 🙂

It took about five years in the Vietnam War before the US news media stopped parroting President Johnson and began to actually report the truth, no matter how inconvenient.

  7699. LOL. Now some respect for Russian weaponry because Ukraine uses it too. Western media has lost a generation of credibility in this war; so wedded to the narrative are they, they tell us straight to our faces the sky is pink when we stare up and our own eyes see blue. It took a month for American news outlets to bring themselves to admit Bakhmut had been taken; weeks went by with everyone else on the planet admitting it, with Wagners having dance parties in, on, and around the entire city, before finally CNN could mouth the words "fallen". The video record of Russian attacks in this war is voluminous and staggering, most of which is never aired in Western MSM. A few days ago, Russia put FOUR Iskanders into an area the size of a Home Depot store, from 500 km away. The whole thing recorded by Orlan drone....each glowing projectile moving so fast it looked just like orbital bombardment shots from an Imperial Star Destroyer.

  7705. He got what it is he wanted. The US CIA could never "flip" a man like Prigozhin, and even if he wanted to end the war, his group lost 25K men taking Bakhmut and he would NEVER in a thousand years dishonor his dead by quitting before victory. None of his actual words criticized Putin so I knew it wasn't a "coup" (dumb Western MSM). What's left after you eliminate all that? A "statement"; a show to demand something that he wasn't getting...a temper trantrum. If you have listened to the guy for the past six months, this is his M.O. and so far, it has always worked.
    1
  7706. Great. Another 20 year war that the US will lose coming right up courtesy of Joe Biden. Zelensky better close on that Miami condo soon; he will never see another JDAM from the US while a two front war now rages in the ME.
    1
  7707. "Delayed" can only mean he is referring to the US. EU doesn't have it to give. Someone should have explained American Civics to Zelensky and his nationalists before the war. They are used to autocrats----leaders who simply speak and things are done. US was expressly created 250 years ago, to not be like that. I hope they are getting a good lesson in how Democracy works; some may be having second thoughts about betting their entire future on it.

  7711. True, but US Army didn't have thermobaric shells falling on their heads the whole time... Those will kill everyone in every vehicle or building no matter what armor or cover. Those near the blast are obliterated. Those farther away the vacuum will suck the air out your lungs and you suffocate before the pressure wave blows out your eardrums; being inside a vehicle or structure makes it worse. It will be a horrible way for Ukrainians to die.

  7714. Back in May, Zelensky promises NATO he could take "three cities" by end of 2023. He said one was Bakhmut, but not the other two, but it hardly matters as AFU taking Bakhmut by December 31st would require Divine intervention 😂😂😂

  7726. It is a close race; it always is. However if it breaks big one way, my belief is that will be for Trump. The Democrat Party wants to send US troops into Ukraine; it is the ONLY way the troops from other NATO countries will go (and UK, FR, Poland, + the little Baltics all want to go too). NO one will go without the US though, and that can't happen without Congress Approval. If Harris wins and the DEMs get Congress it will guarantee a US Army deployment to Ukraine I cannot believe a majority of the US population wants to risk open war with Russia over Ukraine so I believe Trump will win, and he'll win big. I'm voting Trump as I have two sons age 21 and 14 and I do not want the Democrats in power until they are about age 40 or so....then I may risk voting for a Democrat again.

  7728. I don't know if its simply a matter of population or some key pillars of our country have eroded; but it seems the "line" between civilization and lawlessness has gone back to something like the Western Frontier in the late 19th century. Citizens that have a high degree of public contact must be armed----there simply is no alternative. Some places are more risky than others, but there is no "safe" place in this country. You can be mowed down in a grocery store in Vail just as easily as in the poorest town. Glad the armed robber will never be bonded out , paroled, or early released to kill someone in the future, but between the hoodlums, school shooters, angry husbands, and the insane, there are millions more just like him.

  7734. BBC ran story 1 hour ago, Telegraph about 30 minutes ago, as of right now, NO major US news site CNN/NBC/ABC etc. has this story up. Think about that. Vicky Nuland flew to Kyiv in a hurry last week, I am absolutely certain whatever the outcome is, it is HER hand that made it.

  7736. Non-Western sources (far more trustworthy) say that Wagner is training Belarussian Army to be ready to enter Western Ukraine, but only IF Poland moves to occupy these parts of Ukraine once Ukraine Falls. This allows Putin to have a ready contingency plan in place without using any regular Russian army resources. Ukraine is teetering; suffering relentless withering assaults from the air, land, and sea. Once everyone involved sees it begin to topple, there will be a mad scramble for territory, just as when Germany was on the verge of defeat in 1945. Territory in your hands is worth a fortune in the post-war negotiations.

I knew very few of them spoke English, but I assumed they were Ukraines' "Top Guns" with hundreds or thousands of hours in Mig-29 or Mig-24. If these guys are basically newbs in Russian planes, they are newbs in any plane. My God. Russia's Su-27 heavy fighter aces will massacre these Ukrainian guys who just learned how to land in English. It will be like wolves hunting sheep up there.... End this slaughter now. For the love of God.

  7740. Many pro-Russian sources are puzzled about the Kursk invasion. Many expected the strategic weaponry to come out if NATO dared to attack Russia directly and.........two weeks in, nothing more than Russia fighting the same way, just now on their own land. Maybe the Kursk thing just isn't really a threat to Russia's existence (yet)? Or they feel their vastly more militarily valuable gains in Donbas are worth losing a bit of non-critical territory for a while?"

For four long years I watched Trump and his thralls shred almost everything I believed about what it means to be "American" and they willingly became Fascists because to them, what was at stake was SOOO important, the ends justified the means. Here, I watch 90% of DEM voters shred almost everything I believed about America being a Capitalist country, joyously clamoring for Socialist policy, and they do it because they believe what's at stake was SOOO important, the ends justified the means. We are not a country; we are two scorpions in a bottle.

Criminal scum who spent their entire lives hurting their fellow citizens, wasting away in prison for decades, got a chance to do something positive for their country: help fight NATO so Russia is not enslaved by the US and UK for the next 500 years. If they died doing that, they fell with more honor in death than they ever had in life.

Strong family culture, most can cook and love to cook for their family, lies/selfishness/nastiness so common in American women almost unheard of, divorce is not common in the Philippines....women know and respect their father and have seen him by their mother's side for decades. They expect to so the same. The only thing I'd add is MOST island cultures are similar. You can find very similar traits in women from Caribbean, Central America, Pacific, etc. Islands. My wife is from Hawaii; best wife a man could ever have.

Wonder why they created a new 2.5l and didn't just use the 2.7l turbo four in there? 380 lb-ft in this with the twin-clutch AWD and the new good looks would be pretty much perfect.

  7762. Biden is the one who has to go to end the war; Zelensky had a peace plan he was willing to consider in December, but the US torpedoed it. People think Putin dying or being removed will change anything....has anyone listened to Medveyev??? He wanted to bomb London months ago!!

  7767. Good thing those British officers weren't on duty at the Patriot battery in Ukraine. Otherwise this POW plane would have gone down too.... Then CNN would have spent a week lying about it, then quietly admitted the truth on some page at the bottom of the site where no one would see it."

  7768. NATO should arm Palestine by logical extension, but we all know they won't. The Western "rules based order" is completely arbitrary

  7771. Yes. House that was $340K six years ago, now $550K. I've been here 20 years and I hate it now; see California license plates every time I go out now. All the "Southern" Texas charm that was here in 2000 is gone; just unfriendly East Coast types and California libs that want to close down the bbq smokehouse because it makes the air "bad". Was fine for 200 years without you...

  7776. The NYTimes articles yesterday about the Peace Plan from 2022 (which was signed by Ukraine), makes it clear the US and UK were instigators of this war and are hardly disinterested neutral parties in any negotiations. They are complicit ; far more than Iran, North Korea, or China. For the US/UK to point at China and say "you are helping to keep this going" is a level of hubris and hypocrisy beyond all imagination. It is staggering really...

  7777. If they are really going to try to attack Bakhmut they won't be alive very long. Those guys should really think about what it is they are sacrificing themselves for. Freedom? They had that last year! Who was limiting how they wanted to live before the war? Where they could go? No one. NATO wants to put missiles currently in Poland into Ukraine to throttle Russia. That is the whole point of NATO's interest in Ukraine---to further its ability vs. Russia. How does that "help" a Ukrainian young person??
    1
  7778. Ukraine, before 20% of it voted to be Russia, annual GDP was $200B a year. The country could sign itself over to the EU in its entirety and still the EU would be taking massive multi-year losses for decades to come.

  7781. Texas did the same about a year ago. Right before COVID I was going about once a month and one of my favorites was a 19 yr old who was a "10" in every way. About a year ago I noticed I hadn't seen her in months and asked another girl and she told me the law changed---I had no idea as all my life in every State at age 18 a woman could dance. I was really bummed I didn't get more dances from the 19 yr old; had I known they were going to keep her out until age 21 I'd have gotten A LOT more private sessions with her than I did. I don't care who you are; when you are 50 yrs old and a gorgeous 19 yr old, with flawless skin, 5' 7" with perfect curves and naturals, walks by with not a stitch of clothes on, that is a significant event in your life.
    1
  7782. You mean US and UK are going to try to take Crimea or at least pave the way for some kind of Ukrainian D-day. This has NATO written all over it. In conventional war NATO beats Russia 100% of the time for 80 years now. Unless NK has a Star Destroyer we don't know about, things don't look good for Russia long term. This is not Biden...there are top echelon people in NATO who want Russia put down permanently and Ukraine was the perfect opportunity to do it.
    1
  7783. Putin said yesterday that 2023 is "year Zero" of the new power that has risen in the East. NATO is no longer the sole power on the earth as it has been for the past 30+ years. South America, Africa, Asia all have thrown off the Western Yoke probably for at least the next 500 years.
    1
  7784. The looks of the new Challenger are spot on, however the EV only I'm not so sure of. Maybe by 2040 it will look like the right way to go in retrospect, but with Ford throwing down a new 5.0 V8 and even more powerful Dark Horse version, there is NO WAY a muscle head will buy this over a new 'Stang. This may get some Tesla types out of their crappy little Model 3s, but against a Mustang with a transmission you can shift yourself, roar of the mighty 5.0, sound of air rushing through intakes, feel of steering and brakes?? No way, no how.

  7786. Ukraine is so convinced the US will save them they behave like they can't do math and see they are losing far more than they could ever gain militarily. Imagine they took the peace deals on the table six months ago instead of listening to Boris? 100,000 Ukrainian men still alive, they'd have exactly the land they do now and they could spend their energy on making a better future for themselves with no NATO in their country. Zelensky is like the Japanese Militarists who still wanted to fight even after two cities were nuked; unfortunately, Ukraine has no Emperor to overrule Zelensky.

  7787. We had a good reason to be there initially as they were allowing OBL and his network to have their HQ there. However, once his network was destroyed and he fled, we should have been reducing our presence. Once OBL was killed in 2011, our reason for being there ended and we should have packed up and left. It was the "nation building" aspect that failed miserably. The same idiocy we are doing now in Ukraine.

  7788. Ukraine already in the hole to us to the tune of $140B; they won't pay us back (assuming they still exist) until 2259....

  7789. CNN won't call it "human wave" tactics, but the past month that is precisely what Ukrainians have switched to. As reported in WSJ, they send 60 men in to assault and 45 don't come back.

  7797. Probably massing them in Zapo region as that's where Ukraine is planning to shoot its wad soon. All the Leopards, AMXs and Bradleys are being gathered there, along with tens of thousands of freshly trained troops. Ukraine is letting teenagers and old men stall Russia in Bakhmut trading their lives for time. Russia knows the attack is coming and they know where----there is only one place for Ukraine to attack. When it starts that is when we'll see all the T-90Ms, Su-35s, Ka-52s, Mi-28s, Tu-22Ms come out and destroy the Ukrainian offensive and only then will Biden allow Zelensky to accept peace talks.

As well they should...

  7810. Every single one of these F-16s is well past its airframe expected lifespan; ALL were to be retired in a few months----not years. They are A/B models built in the 80s, some of which were upgraded to C level equivalent. They are not stealth, and do not possess any weapon system, bomb, rocket, or missile that outranges S-300 detection range of 300 km, let alone that of S-400 or S-500 (which can shoot down spacecraft!!). If one somehow survived to engage in air combat, every Su-27, 30, 35 and Mig-35 outranges it and with beyond-visual-range missile do not even have to see an F-16 to obliterate it. It would be better for Ukraine to line up their pilots and shoot them than send them up in an F-16, as their survival chances of a bullet to the head would be higher...

  7811. LOL, the only source is "South Korean intelligence" using satellite images provided by the British. Very convincing. If true, so what? Polish, British, American, French, and German troops have been in Ukraine fighting Russians for almost three years...

  7812. Its like a mish-mash of LS, S-Class, A8, 7-Series, and XJ all put together haphazardly with a giant grilled on front to make it "different". I'm sorry but that thing is ugly. The GV80 looks a lot better. The commenter below is right; Genesis is the new Lexus but the Germans and Range Rover don't have anything really to worry about. Once Lexus got their attention 30 years ago they upped their game and even today the LS 500, nice as it is, is not really comparable with an S-Class or A8.

It was the sudden shock of Biden sending tanks (when he said for a year he wouldn't) that made me think "something's not right with what CNN has been telling me". I know a lot of ya'll are feeling the same right now.....there is a reason."

  7824. Biden doesn't have the authority to start a war with Russia. I knew this would be the result, Biden would have to go before Congress to get authority or he could start the war and have 60 days to get authority. But there are only two justifications: 1. Previous authorization or 2. We are attacked. Presidents can't start their own wars.

  7826. The Ukrainian northern flank near Lyman, pressed by Russia's armored fist on a 12km wide front for two weeks now, collapsed today. The "hammer" is now unconstrained in its fall to the "anvil" in Zaporizhzhia. You know what happens to anything caught between the hammer and the anvil...
    1
  7827. Because ALL of us are having "Ukraine fatigue". The weapons don't change anything, Russia destroys them or counters them and then Ukraine is back begging for more. They are fighting a Superpower----Biden and Johnson/Sunak were fools to think just shipping a few missiles to Ukraine could beat a Superpower. Putin said "FULL MOBILIZATION" last September....what do Westerners think that means?? That means the ENTIRE country effort is to win the war. The only thing that can beat a Superpower is another Superpower and it is utterly impossible to turn Ukraine into one overnight. Biden should never have ignored the Peace Plan from summer 2021 that Putin sent to NATO.

  7829. Two years ago, we all had to go back to in office work and during COVID I had sold my commuter car and given an older SUV to my daughter. So I needed a reliable daily and I wanted to try German. I looked at the C300 but the horror stories about piston cracking scared me off. I never bothered to even look at a BMW; they are designed to leak oil and coolant. I settled on Audi, but ONLY the 4-cyl ones, because from what I read the VW EA888 is a bulletproof monster of an engine. Just don't skimp on the maintenance and the EA888/DSG combo will give you 200K miles easily. I got a 2022 A4. 40K miles not a problem. Fingers crossed! 🙂

  7832. If I were Trump I would pull everything now; whatever little shreds are left of how we're helping that ungrateful little isht. I don't even know what's left now that Hegseth pulled the Cyber stuff; I hear we may still be sending shells and AA missiles. Definitely no ATACMS, no GPS targeting data, no satellite stuff; pull it all. Let Zel feel what its like for a few weeks to be "naked"; for three years Biden has been giving away our Full Spectrum Capability for free, so Zel has no appreciation for its value or what his life will be like without it. Trump should show him. In a couple of weeks the Beggar King will be crawling back to the Oval Office with his minerals and a fountain pen...

  7833. US Congress going to holiday recess with no agreement between DEMs and GOP. That means at least a month before they'll even meet again to discuss it. EU $50B is held up by Hungary. Germany $8B is just for AA missiles and to keep the power on during the winter. Japan's $5B is to rebuild (assuming there is a Ukraine in the future). That's it. Ukraine is out of money.

  7834. Border troops that resisted until they were surrounded and when they ran out of ammo, they surrendered. The time they bought allowed air power to slow AFU keep the breakout from getting bigger. When they return to Russia in the POW swap, they will go into the annals of Russian history covered in glory..."
    1
  7835. What are they going to use those 1000 missiles on? If its just more of the same, bombing ammo dumps and barracks how will that change anything? AFU is grabbing people off the street to put into the trenches. Zelensky is in "Fuhrerbunker" mode; he cannot be reasoned with under any circumstances. Knocking out Ukraine's power? I don't think that will work because they'll just bring in NATO contractors to help restore it.

  7836. Bloggers Col. MacGregor and Scott Ritter both said this would happen------back in SEPTEMBER, 2022.

  7837. Every non-Western news site this morning calls this "Peace Summit" a complete failure. The "agreement" was only that negotiations need to begin . The world is tired of spending money on Ukraine; everyone knows they can't push 700K Russians out, and no one is going to send their own young people to die in Ukraine or glass the planet for Zelensky.

  7839. at least you acknowledge they are brothers and this is a family fight NATO has no business in!!! Thanks!"
    1
  7840. Missiles are expensive, and most types can be shot down. Guided bombs however, are cheap, and due to their heavy steel casing even if they are intercepted by an AA missile, the shrapnel designed to shred aluminum aircraft just bounces off a bomb. Once the inexorable movement of RU west puts them about 80km to 100km away from Kyiv, it won't be missiles falling every few weeks; it will be (much bigger and heavier) bombs falling every few minutes ....
    1
  7841. I swear this entire year of war is "hide in the treeline". Can't Russia whip up some extre-strength herbicide and fill some bombs and just de-foliate the entire treeline in key areas??? Like a modern version of Agent Orange?? With no leaves, no one can hide in that area at all. Or just just a large bomb fused for airburst to blow off all the leaves/branches like a "daisy cutter". Geeze EVERY vid from the combat line is both sides with these hovering FPV drones looking at trees trying to see a glint of metal or hint of movement. All this technology and World War Three comes down to "hide among the trees" like its Teutoburg Forest in 9 AD???
    1
  7842. Can someone please tell me why NATO believes it can win a nuclear war with Russia? Russia has clearly said for a decade "we will use nukes before we lose Crimea". I don't see a lot of nuance in that statement. Does NATO believe they are bluffing?
    1
  7843. "Putin ally" because he doesn't believe this disagreement can be solved by warfare. I have no doubt every morning, CNN/BBC/SKY/DW/FRANCE24 all get together and decide what the "news" will be for the day.

  7848. The problem is the more advanced the NATO weapons are, the more likely there are NATO guys inside the vehicle or launcher actually doing the firing. Ukraine's manpower is decimated; those left poorly trained. Who the heck could Ukraine have that can be an expert in operating and supporting an IRIS-T or Patriot battery? No one. Same with F-16; Ukraine will not send up a pilot who just learned how to use F-16 to fight a Russian Top Gun with years of experience in his Su-30SM. NATO wants to fight Russia, but they want the blowback to fall only on Ukraine; that will not last very much longer...

Nor has CNN/BBC/SKY ever mentioned the number of other ministers who quit and the timing of Kuleba's impending resignation to convey the true context of what happened today. Yet, outside the US, an avalanche of reports all day long to the above effect. WHY? Why does the West Media lie by omission to us in such a transparent way? Why can't they just tell the truth??

Who the fucc is discussing "peace" with the guy who killed the "peace" plan on deck in March, and continues to kill all potential peace plans?? Papa Joe isn't discussing peace; he's discussing how to get the Abrams tanks into Ukraine under Putins nose so they are not destroyed before they can even reach the front.

In US military weapons cannot be in private hands.

How many $2M Storm Shadows and $3.5M JASSM-ERs would it take to make a difference to a country of 17,000,000 sq. km.?? Tbh, Ukraine is like a house with a 125% mortgage and the owner still trying to pull out equity: they already long ago signed away their economic future to the West and there is nothing left to trade for more weapons."

  7874. Yes, but does NATO have that right??? NATO is the hand that controls the strings of the puppet Ukraine. Especially now, when Ukraine does not even have an elected President, and NATO pays all its bills. Is Ukraine "independent" enough to make such an argument?

  7875. You believe Youtubers whom you have no idea who they are, over a US Maj. Gerneral?

  7878. It is everything and everyone they gathered with the $61B American money. It is all or nothing..."

  7879. Biden looks 90 now. To think all he had to do was read the Draft Security Framework Russia sent him in September 2021, and talk. That's it. No war. Give up some things, gain some things, but no war. Simple. Biden choose wrong and history will lay this disaster at his feet for all time.

  7881. For the next century, anytime a political party loses they will blame it on a "Russian special operation"

  7882. What amazes me is how well those fat ugly things fly! Watch some vids of FAB-3000 being dropped by Su-34. They just pop open wings and glide along with not a wobble or shudder; butter smoothly all the way to the target. It really is strange to watch such a non aerodynamic object fly so well...
    1
  7883. So, the government of Iraq blessed this behind the scenes (and is happy to get rid of some Shia-aligned gangsters in its country)?? We all know US couldn't care less what Assad thinks...
    1
  7884. Both sides of the Ukraine/Israel policy hate this guy equally, so in many ways, he is probably doing the right thing for the country as a whole.
    1
  7885. So clearly there wont be any victories for Ukraine to show off at the NATO Summit. What is the new "standard" to keep the free weapon pump primed? Grain from their newly captured farms by September?
    1
  7886. UK told us Russia has no more missiles left. However they have several thousand hypersonic and supersonic washing machines. Not very aerodynamic as they are shaped like a box, but as fast as they move they pack a wallop when they hit. 😂

  7887. Google is blocking thousands of comments on this, and its making me really angry...

  7889. Again?

  7890. So funny to watch all these guys who weren't born when the Fox body 'Stang was made driving them with joy. I can assure you I found NO 1971-era cars appealing AT ALL when I was 30...

  7891. I fell asleep in Eternals. You may discount just me, but 2 of the 3 other people I went with also fell asleep in that movie. That is 75% of a group of paying customers (most of whom have seen virtually all of the previous films), so bored they go to sleep. I thought it was just me that I no longer even want to see ANY new Marvel product. I liked Loki, Moon Knight was OK, I could not finish Wandavision or Multiverse of Madness, and I never bothered with Hawkeye or She-Hulk. Ouch...

  7892. Well, I guess we're done with the proxy war preliminaries and the real two problem children in this school are about to bow up to each other, eh? Don't worry Brits, I wasn't referring to you....
    1
  7893. TOW is a good weapon but only 3-4km range.
    1
  7894. ...and now Russia uses gas shells.
    1
  7895. Those weapons are for NATO only----hardly needed to subdue Ukraine. As long as NATO minds its own business, no such weapons would ever be used. If they are, it is 100% NATO fault.
    1
  7896. With less than four hours notice, Russia put an Iskander-K through the fuccing roof of a single building 200 km from the front lines! What more does NATO need to get the GDF'ing message??
    1
  7897. Putin keeps his promises. I can't wait until UK is hit as they have been goading Russia for months

  7898. No, these are "sabotage agents", which are good...terrorists are bad. CNN says so. 🙂

  7899. Makes me kind of sick to watch…the animation is too realistic.

  7900. Russia didn't send a man of Shoigu stature for pleasantries. He is bringing GPS jammers, drone jammers, all the EW tech that has made the JDAMs miss and the Global Hawk suddeny go dark. Russia is innoculating Iran from the US response; freeing them to be more aggressive relative to Israel...."
    1
  7901. Germany just approved Taurus cruise missiles, and 50 refurbished Leopard 1 tanks. NATO hasn't given up, more trophies for Russian tank museum and a fancy new missile to shoot down and study. This was has been the greatest military bonanza for Russia since the rocket scientists they captured after the Battle of Berlin
    1
  7902. So the reports that Biden told Israel "no oil, no nuc facilities" or the free weapons gravy train ends, were true? As demonstrated in Ukraine, this appears to be the DEM version of Foreign Policy: let the wars simmer, but not boil. That way the weapons factories keep running smoothly to constantly replenish what is expended.. I prefer Trump's version of Foreign Policy: No free weapons for anyone; you pay if you want something, that way you are forced to accurately judge whether war provides the ROI to make it worth your while to engage in. Free bombs just makes everyone choose war...
    1
  7903. Putin has always fought this war the same way Abraham Lincoln fought the US Civil War; not too fiercely, not too much brutality, not too much scorched earth. Lincoln knew the country would have to heal afterwards, Putin is convinced of the same. However even Lincoln reached a point he had to unleash Sherman because the Confederacy wasn't getting the message...."
    1
  7904. All the dozens of times Gen. Mark Milley said "Russia is losing, operationally and militarily" throughout 2022 and 2023, wasn't that "misdirection" and "disinformation"???
    1
  7905. HE made the "mistake" of putting us into the middle of an internecine war between Russia and Ukraine that they could (and should) have solved between themselves. Of course we all know why the DEMs did it (hint: it wasn't "democracy); I don't care. DEM Policy. DEM Consequences. No more money.

  7906. Hope it keeps you safe! Many Americans were never in agreement with what our government is trying to do to Russia.

  7911. Wow. I knew Wagner would HAVE to disband after the war, as no country on Earth can have sich a powerful private force just sitting around. I thought all ths would happen after, not during. Utterly astounding historic times we are living through. I pray it doesn't get worse. Wars always spin off into directions no one could have imagined. I wish Biden and NATO just talked 16 months ago, none of fhis had to happen.

  7915. This thing starts at $55K and everyone is like "ohhh that's great, good pricing" ??? Where does everyone live?? $55K will buy you a loaded 7-Passenger LUXURY SUV with a V6! These EVs are too bloody expensive!! No wonder Toyota sells every RAV4 Prime they can build; 40 miles of EV range (which meets 95% of Americans' daily needs) and $38K. I don't care how cool this is; $17K in my pocket is cooler.

  7918. Does it really matter who is right? Each side wants a little "PR" win to point the finger at the other and stick their tongue out??
    1
  7919. Rumour mill buzzing after Russian FM said France is sending a 2,000 man expeditionary force to Ukraine. Of course France denies it; however if it is true then far more than just France must be about to send troops. 2,000 soldiers would just be a convenient target, no matter which NATO country they are from. 20,000 would at least make the Russians think before opening fire.
    1
  7920. Newspapers in Asia, BRICS this morning all say Putin looks stronger. Western ones all say he looks weaker. It is exactly this inability to see him through anything other than a Western "lens" why NATO always underestimates him and Russia in general.
    1
  7921. US media hasn't had a major Ukraine article up for a few weeks now; here in US we are completely consumed by the election as it is a very close race. No one even paying attention to Ukraine for at least the next month; RU is basically going to be running wild with almost no coverage in the West media.
    1
  7922. Who can blame them? Ukraine is preparing to put 17 year old boys into the Abrams tanks and send them to their deaths. People of Ukraine need to stand up to Herr Zelensky and stop this madness!
    1
  7923. Why are Western Governments so calm? So quiet? Literally every device with a radio could be an IED and.....silence.... Almost as if they know there is nothing to worry about. Two weeks ago Russia bombed a military training center and for two straight days the Western Media cycle went apoplectic. Here we are two days into consumer electronics as bombs and the news is like: "oh yeah some radios exploded today, possibly some solar panels too. Thousands of casualties.....so sorry..."

  7924. Anthropologists will tell you that "civilization" requires the assent of the vast majority----people must CHOOSE to obey the law of the society----only a small percentage of lawbreakers can be controlled by a police force. Citizens must police themselves (and their families, neighbors, etc.) to a significant degree. Once a threshold of lawlessness is reached, even people who would obey the law, see a rational benefit to breaking it. We are at that point now as a country. When everyone is a criminal, no one is...
    1
  7925. Every night now for the past three days, Russia has used larger and larger number of washing machines. Last night, the largest number of Kinzhal hypersonic washing machines fired since the start of the war. Of course Ukraine will tell BBC "we shot them all down" and that massive fire on the Kyiv horizon is a burning toy factory, and BBC will dutifully report it as such...
    1
  7926. US NEVER said RU has 300K KIA, they said "casualties". US estimates about 125K Russian KIA (which many feel is inflated...estimating more like 75K KIA).
    1
  7927. Just make sure Biden, Blinken and Nuland attend the peace negotiations. THEY are the architects of this disaster; THEY must be front and center for accountability.

  7928. I don't dislike her (or her laugh), she suffered from two main things. 1. Unpopular DEM policy under Biden and 2. Because she was elevated after Biden aged out, she could not distinguish her policy from his. She would have had to basically bash her own boss to stake out a unique policy position for herself. If Biden were a smashing popular success, that wouldn't be a problem. However Biden has half the world on fire, "asylum" seekers flooding every city, and a host of other things he basically just ignored because he spends all his time thinking about Zelensky and Netanyahu

  7929. If the Pentagon had alien tech for almost a century, how is it that Russians are blowing apart NATO weapons for the past 18 months?? Did Russia get a flying saucer too?

  7935. Oh yeah, just like the T-90M being "destroyed" that made the rounds last week. Lies.

  7936. Macron, Scholz, and Sunak tearing up all those plans they had to attack Russia in Ukraine this year. None of them want any part of 800,000 screaming NK troops backed by a million artillery shells.
    1
  7937. "Ours not to reason why. Ours is to do and die."
    1
  7938. Why else would the US send its army to Ukraine other than to destroy Russia as an independent country?? US Army are not "peacekeepers"; pushing Russia out of Crimea would be like Russia showing up to push us out of Alaska. It doesn't technically destroy us, but if we accept it, we accept being someone else's b----. Pretty sure that we'd rather go up in flames along with them before we'd live like that...

  7941. "...after they win the war. What if they don't win?"

  7942. If I could, I'd buy one of the Pro ones even though I don't even really need a truck. After this becomes available, I don't see how anyone buys a Model Y at $60K+; the interior alone of the "cheapo" F150 is like a Bentley compared to even a $140K Tesla and its horrid build quality. Add in the tax credit, the enormous utility advantage and tank-like structural quality of the Ford; even a Musk True Believer would buy the F150...
    1
  7943. with negative returns.... 😂😂😂
    1
  7944. Biden doesn't have the authority to start a war with Russia. I knew this would be the result, Biden would have to go before Congress to get authority or he could start the war and have 60 days to get authority. But there are only two justifications: 1. Previous authorization or 2. We are attacked. Presidents can't start their own wars, he knows it and being constantly asked to do something he can't is starting to get on his nerves...."
    1
  7945. a lie...
    1
  7946. This meeting has nothing to do with Ukraine; that round is already won. Russia by itself is already producing almost 3 times as many shells as US and EU combined. This meeting is about the world after the Ukraine war. NATO may take the "L" on this first round, but they are making sure that doesn't happen in round 2 or round 3, and of their opponents in the wars of 2026-2032, North Korea is the weakest. Putin, fully aware of this, is shoring up his supply chain AND making sure NK is a stronger ally 3 years from now.
    1
  7947. "Forced to fight" in title, then "signed up for support jobs in the Russian Army" in the vid. LOL. What did they think would happen?? You joined the Army and OK, they say you will only drive a fuel or ammo truck, but in battle the fuel or ammo truck is a TARGET! 😂😂😂
    1
  7948. Sigh... No matter what, the West always underestimates this guy. Putin has a PhD in Economics and a Law Degree; he also had years to prepare for sanctions as he knows that is the West's first option whenever someone does something they don't like. They day a Western leader actually respects Putin as an equal adversary is the day Putin finally starts to risk losing----he apparently has little to worry about...

  7953. WTF is he talking about? They fired 81 missiles and all of six civilians were killed. Moron talking about "bombing people like WW2---women and children--terrorist"?? Hitting the power infrastructure is the strategy. This is pure propaganda; just American air-head spewing nonsense because the United States doesn't even have one hypersonic missile.

    1
  7957. Trump makes points with the subtlety and nuance of a gorilla, but he DOES make them. 110 years ago, Germany and France had the two largest armies in the world at the time; and Britain had a fleet so large they could have blockaded BOTH American coasts and still have half their ships left. Europe has it within them to defend themselves; we've done it so long no one alive can remember when we didn't, so everyone believes it is a birthright. It isn't. THAT is Trump's (unartfully expressed) point...

    1
  7965. I am 100% sure Biden and all knew about this, hahah. I've been wondering the past two months as RU is rampaging through Donbas how Blinken and Lloyd always look so calm as their plans dashed to pieces all around them. Now I know. Macron's idea to send NATO troops to shore up the rear and allow AFU to free up men for the front failed, so their new plan was "change the rules of engagement" but don't say anything until after AFU has gone into Russia proper with our donated equipment. When Putin screams, we just say "oh, we changed our policy. Sorry about that." All is fair in love and war I guess...."
    1
  7966. Wow. Then the entire Western Media are not "journalists" the past two years as all they do is parrot what Biden or Zelensky says, correct?
    1
  7967. Reports say this stuff was out there for weeks but CIA / FBI was unaware until it seemed to have spread out of social media and apparently someone realized it was legit. Ahhh, it doesn't even matter anyway; Russia has won the war. Wagner is sitting on T-90Ms blasting remnants of Ukrainian Army out of the last few blocks of Bakhmut. Aadiivka is about to fall as well. Russia shoots down HIMARS, jams the JDAM, and has already destroyed at least one Leopard 2. The intel shows Ukraine has lost 100,000 men. Its over.

  7968. LMAO!! Zelensky tried to negotiate and end TWICE in January and March and BOTH times the US/UK wouldn't let him!!!

  7969. This is one tech I'm praying finds full success; not stupid Algorithms that do all our thinking for us, actual hard applied science and engineering. By the time I was old enough (and had the income) to fly Concorde it had just ceased operation. What a burn for a kid who dreamed of flying Concorde as a child. Go NASA; all my hopes to you!

  7970. I'd love to hear someone, anyone, tell me how Ukraine can "win". No fantasies, no "they only have shovels", no "Ukraine is causing casualties on RU at 10 to 1 ratio" foolishness. An objective succinct argument. Stoltenberg talks a lot but even he cannot make such an argument.

  7971. Every week something more is needed to beat Russia.
    1
  7972. Democrats finally realize their "decriminalized" policies of the past ten years have made everything, everywhere far, far worse?? Hopefully this becomes a national trend....
    1
  7973. This shows NATO is panicking as it is no longer possible to hide the utter disaster in Ukraine. The Kursk incursion is a devastating failure as RU has absolutely shredded the forces sent in there. We all know the laugher Donbas has become; RU now taking AFU unit banners as they are overrun. Biden admin. all last week taking great pains to say "we knew nothing about it"; who here is still fool enough to believe they'd say that if Kursk were successful??""😂
    1
  7974. How is US and EU going to "justify" forcibly sending Ukrainian men who don't want to go back, where they'll almost certainly be killed in battle? I'd love to hear how a "Democracy" justifies this...

  7975. Russia Iskander it repeatedly until they were all dead..

  7976. OMG, the COPE!!!! Remember three years ago? "Victory for Ukraine!" , "Restore 1991 borders!" , "Kicked out of Crimea!" Now, its "well, the 75% of the country they have is still free and we got a new member in NATO. We won!" Ahahahaha....OMG....please stop......ahahahahaha!!!!

  7977. ....a "peace summit" with no Biden and no Putin. Slavs. All balls, no brains.....
    1
  7978. This fool didn't believe the 50,000 troops on his border two years ago would invade, either.
    1
  7979. US can't stop women and children from invading its borders so no surprise they got in. They were quickly destroyed so that is good. However it is a sign of weakness on Ukraine and NATO's part that they may be shifting to an insurgency war because the face-to-face fight with fixed armies is not going well for them.
    1
  7980. Just think of what Putin could have done to Ukraine by now, had he really wanted to.

  7981. USN has two Burke-class and two Orion aircraft (and sonobuoy drones!) looking for the sub but they'll never find it. Silent but deadly...
    1
  7982. It is a very strange feeling to know deep in your heart your country is the immoral one. US has many foreign policy mistakes, miscalculation, poor judgement, etc. However this is simply dark-hearted opportunism and malice
    1
  7983. Wow...I bought one in 2003 with 65K miles, drove it for three years, and sold it for $1500 less than I paid and I thought I had gotten a good deal! Who knew I should have just parked it for 14 years and suddenly people who weren't even born when it came out would want one...
    1
  7984. Nothing compared to the West and their Anglo Saxon superiority complex over the Slavs.
    1
  7985. RU in artillery range of Kharkiv right now; krasnopol 152mm shell has 40 km range, and guided rockets from Smerch and Tornado-S all easily reach 40+ km. All of those are precision meaning they can cheaply delete anything inside the city they don't want to be there.

  7986. They are fighting 30 vs. 1 fool. Oh, and they are WINNING too 😂😂
    1
  7987. Ancient Persians, Greeks, Romans all used war dogs.
    1
  7988. The US cannot choose a political solution because doing so requires compromise which validates the security concerns of governments it flat out hates. So, our politicians always go to what is easy; bomb everything just as Graham said. The real underlying issue is that the US (our "elites), cannot ever bring themselves to sit across from the table with the leaders of Iran, or North Korea, or Russia or China and talk to them as if they are "equals", because the US (and UK) do not view them as equals at a fundamental level.
    1
  7989. I laugh at how even nations, armies, and governments now all behave like 17 year olds "flexing" on social media. Against Wagner, 10,000 troops will not be enough....

  7992. Biden is sending heavy artillery to Niger. Ukraine part Deux coming up. Part Trois is Taiwan.

  7993. Turkey has now offered evidence against Israel in the ICJ, and since it is a court of law, evidentiary rules means Israel can't just call it "meritless" like Blinken did, and walk away; they must rebut the evidence on a legal basis. Just imagine; in a few months, the ICJ could issue a preliminary ruling against Israel based on the presented evidence of genocide. Which, would legitimize the efforts of the Houthis to resist such a crime, and the US / UK would now be, in fact, countries attacking those who resist genocide. What a pretty picture...
    1
  7994. No greater admission of weakness than this. The NATO "wunderwaffe" in all their high tech glory have been convincingly defeated by vastly cheaper modern precision weapons and master level Electronic Warfare. To compete NATO has to now come off the high road and down into the inhumane gutter with everyone else...
    1
  7995. Everyone that wants to fight Russia, has never fought Russia. Those that DON'T want to fight Russia; have. At Stalingrad, the Russians hung 84% casualties on the Hungarian Second Army, as they smashed through the Hungarian and Italian sectors (the Italian 8th Army was destroyed almost to a man). US/UK/France all want to fight Russia....like toddlers who play with fire for the first time...
    1
  7996. There is no "NATO" any longer. Germany just called Putin to discuss business, and US wants to start a war with Russia. Wherever the final results of this war, we've seen the end of NATO as we knew it...
    1
  7997. Forget that; they had their chance many times and NATO prevented it every time. No peace in our time. Russia must crush Ukraine completely and any NATO country that rushes in to stave off their defeat.
    1
  7998. "Deadlocked"?? In 2024 Russia has been the Bear slapping AFU like they are a salmon in the river... Aligned media struggling to tell the truth is so 2022.
    1
  7999. CNN's endless Biden Administration propaganda is what "fascinates" me. Don't the people in Crimea and the Republics have the same right to "self-determination"? We are in year THREE of them voting to be part of the Russian Federation. Every time that is mentioned, the West just ignores them. Those shells fell on a MARKET during DAYTIME yesterday----Biden, Blinken, CNN all the same response----nothing.

  8000. The only argument one can make against buying this now, is that you could buy it in 2031 and it will be just as good.

  8003. Ahh, if I were Putin I'd just load up a Su-34 with a guided bomb with a 500 kiloton nuclear yield and lob it at Orekhov and wipe out the entire NATO-trained army massed there. War is over in a day. I know he wants to do that, not sure why he won't.

  8007. No one was shooting at our bases until Biden sent the US Navy into the Red Sea to protect Israel (and deliver thousands of JDAMs and 155mm shells to them). Biden sent us into the Hornet's Nest, stirred up the hornets, and now is telling us "I'll make sure to protect us from the hornets".

  8008. 50 AFU demilitarized. North Korean artillery shipments to Russia have begun; now Russia has another million shells to go with the million they produce. In response US sent Ukraine 1 million AK rounds today.....😂😂😂

  8009. Israel will do exactly what the US directs them to do. Only problem is last month Russia rushed the S-400 and GPS jammers to Iran. What would have been an "easy run" for Israel's F-15s is now extremely dangerous and even the F-35 has to be careful around the S-400. The GPS jammers are virtually guaranteed to make the bombs miss; Ukraine stopped using Excalibur and JDAM near the front because they always miss. IDF cannot afford to attack Iran's facilities and fail (or have their planes shot down). Putin made it very, very difficult to do what the US and Israel have long dreamed of doing.
    1
  8010. In 20 years since Putin came on the scene, never a word from him about "conquering Europe". Ukraine listens to the US/UK and now gets itself in trouble, and suddenly its "if you don't help us Putin will take all of Europe!" No, he'll just take YOU.

  8011. Trump is very old; probably only about 4 years behind Joe in his mind failing him. That's just enough however to get some use out of him for a single term. He has my vote...

  8012. There are some Telegram channels saying that the Ukrainian sea drones were directly guided by an American RQ-4 Global Hawk, and Russia has direct evidence of this. Add this to the US Patriot shooting down the transport plane carrying Ukrainian POWs a couple of weeks ago (something the US has acknowledged), together the Russians feel the United States is pushing a bit over the edge of "sponsor" to "combatant" to help Ukraine directly in combat (since it cannot get funding passed). Because of this, Putin is extremely PO'ed and this "nuclear threat" is him warning Biden to "back tf off". I can tell you from experience these "channels" are more accurate than the CIA or MI6 for what goes on inside Russia because many of them are run by Russians.

  8020. "National Security Advisor, Jake Sullivan, claimed that F-16 fighter jets sent to Ukraine would be unlikely to have a significant impact on the battlefield. Sullivan also said that "Russia has 800 to 900 fourth- and fifth-generation fighters." --- Well that is it; I guess the F-16 is Biden's "red line". No more good money after bad; this war will end very soon exactly how those of us who do not read the MSM always knew it would: at the negotiating table with Putin in the clearly dominant position.

  8032. Russia can never beat NATO in coventional attrition war, all know that for 80 years. Thats why nuke deterrent and MAD concept keeps the peace. In Ukraine the West found a willing partner to do the dying in exchange for money and ammo. Ukraine has enough men and NATO enough money to bleed Russia for years. It is possible a nuke will have to be used on Ukraine onoy to save Russia. NATO cant use Ukraine if it no longer exists. We havent seen this in 80 years, even a history nerd like me has no idea how this could end.
    1
  8033. OMG, EVERYONE knows this is really what US and Israel are after. Why Israel keeps making a bigger and bigger provocation. Iran as a nuclear power is 100% unacceptable to US and Israel but they can't just go bomb a sovereign country for no reason. They are pushing Iran to get that reason....

Maybe 2km forward through 8 villages that are mostly abandoned farms, and utterly enormous losses of 200+ armored vehicles and at least 15,000 casualties in three weeks of this "offensive"? That about sum it up? Oh, and a big fat "NO" to joining NATO anytime this decade, too. If that is "success"; I'd shudder to think what "failure" would look like.

  8042. Let's revisit this on October 31st...."
    1
  8043. As usual, the truth takes a few days to trickle in but it is now apparent that senior Russian Navy leadership was killed in this strike, not clear now exactly who or how many but no doubt some were. Also now coming out from ex-CIA in US that this was no mere "support" by NATO. A lot of questions being asked in morning news worldwide. Did NATO just attack Russia? Evidence piling up of US real-time targeting and overwatch during attack. That is more than just "support". NATO may have tipped over the line on this one...
    1
  8044. In regards to the SMO everyone's mind is made up; you either believe Russia started it in 2022 or the US started it in 2014. Both have the same weight of argument for/against so most people just decide based on emotion. I just want the war to end asap because it was stupid the day Biden decided not to negotiate, and its been stupid ever since. Obama presaged all this in 2015 and supposedly "smart" people in high positions somehow failed to heed the warning. You cannot be "a little bit at war" ; trying to do so is like trying to be "a little bit pregnant". That Biden/Blinken/Nuland/Johnson and all the West instigators don't seem to know this terrifies me far more than Putin does...."
    1
  8045. Well, I was hoping Iran would hold back because they know Israel and US would love to be able to respond. I assume they took this long to move everything associated with their nuke program under a mountain. Gas going to $15 a gallon, eggs going to $20 a dozen. The drones are just "clutter" so the ballistic missiles get through....if they are Fateh-110s, whole blocks will be deleted when they hit.

  8047. Smart. Like Zaluzhny and Budanov, etc. Start taking out the braintrust around Zelensky as well. This stupid unnecessary war has gone on long enough.

  8048. Quite literally everything said beginning at the 5:00 mark people like me (who thought Biden and NATO were insane to choose war), have said all along and the only response we got (until now) was "you Kremlin bot". This has been a disaster; doomed from the start, that anyone with an objective brain could have foreseen with very little imagination. RU's only mistake was underestimating how much NATO had armed Ukraine before the invasion. Since then, they've done almost everything right, and everything anyone who studies their martial history would expect them to. For God's sake some of the factories in the Urals currently making tanks and guns are in the same buildings they used in 1943!!

We all seem to have his psychotic need to "not be the one who loses".... Where the heck does that come from? Even people who aren't born here after a few years become just like the rest of us....its like the take "don't tread on me" far too seriously. NOTE: "Don't tread on me" means "don't allow the government too much power to trample our rights" ; it does not mean shoot the person who got the last grocery cart!!!

  8065.  @fustercluck2460  If there is a line at which Putin would use his nukes, I'd say this is very close to it. Can you imagine Storm Shadows turning $3B worth of new Frigates into flaming wrecks overnight and 1500 dead Russian sailors?? Putin will say "look what the UK enabled them to do to us" and his people will want blood----British blood.
    1
  8066. In 2015, Obama refused to arm Ukraine because of exactly what we are seeing. He called it "escalatory dominance"; RU can always go one step further, resulting in no advantage for Ukraine and they just get destroyed in process. 2+ years of him being proven right and this Administration still doing same over and over expecting a different result
    1
  8067. Finally Boris said something that was true; and let slip the facade behind their narrative. The US/UK are simply trying not to lose their dominance over the earth. This war has nothing to do with "democracy" or "rules based order" BS. It is simply another chapter in 10,000 year saga of an Empire trying not to fall...

  8068. Putin, ever the master troll.

  8069. Russia is about to tidy up this "play war" here very soon. Lavrov delivered the ultimatum to Biden/Zelensky: Capitulate or Ukraine Ends. Just go watch Lavrov speak from two days ago; does he even look at all like a man concerned about the outcome? While Zelensky looks haggard, disheveled, and like he hasn't slept in months. Savvy watchers have noticed diesel fuel is experiencing shortages in the Russian local market; what other explanation could there be for a country swimming in oil to have diesel shortages but that the Army is stockpiling it? When it comes, and unless Biden capitulates, it will. It will look like something from white and black WW2 films....

Only a father can show a boy how to become a man and give him the guidance and wisdom to choose the path of preserverance and hard work to success! This 30 year old was still a "little boy" in a man's body, never taught how to be a man so he only knows how to take the easy path and just rob people when he needs money. It is YOUR FAULT mom!!!

  8079. Trump has been publicly telling Zel to stop firing ATACMS into Russia (of course Zel don't listen). This is going to make Trump so angry I doubt he'll even be able to stomach Zelensky being in the same room with him after Jan. 21st....

Niger, robbed of 95% of its wealth for decades by France, threw out their PM and now people who won't accept being a servile dog of France are in charge. Most Westerners would say "great" and "wonderful" and "all the best of luck in improving your lives!". No, they don't say that. France and the US now are sending soldiers and weapons to enforce THEIR dominance; to restore THEIR boot upon the necks of Niger's people. Is that the NATO you thought you supported?

  8084. 15 killed, 148 injured---most Ukrainian and NATO officers and drone manufacturer representatives. The Chernihiv missile strike will go down as a pivotal moment in the war, both for its scale and its timing. Its scale is a backbreaker; drones are one of the few weapons Ukraine is anywhere near on the same level as Russia without having to beg for them. To lose so many of its officers and drone expertise in one strike is absolutely devastating. The timing could not have been worse. Just days ago, its last and most powerful NATO-trained reserve force was committed---sent into the teeth of a waiting Russia now confident and with the initiative after 60 days of stopping Ukraine cold. Even if it wins every battle by a 2-to-1 margin, its eventual doom is assured: for every tank it has, Russia has 10. Their nascent drone force decapitated, their best ground forces pounded into dust by attrition; even the TV ads running in Ukraine telling little boys to "overcome your fear" and join the Army will not be enough to save them.
    1
  8085. Russia no threat to us; we have 5500 tanks, 10x their GDP, and one CSG from US Navy could take care of the Russian Navy. They are a threat to Poland, Germany, and France; and all the rest of the little Euro's would be smart to make their own peace so the Bear doesn't devour them. We have little to fear.

  8090. In 2024 alone Russia has openly offered to negotiate at least six times; all rejected by Biden.

  8091. The T-90M is about to bring the pain. Russia has stacked them up in the south ready for any Leopard or Challenger that survives the mines, drones, artillery, bombs, and missiles. Overkill yes; those Leopards and Challengers are old----the T-80BV is more than a match for them. However Putin is making sure any Western tanks that survives meets its doom at the hands of the T-90M. If for some crazy reason Biden or the Poles snuck a few Abrams in there------a company of T-14 Armatas are also on hand for that highly unlikely scenario. Russia 'aint taking any chances. This is win or die.
    1
  8092. The irony of Poland today frantically moving troops to its border with Belarus, because the mere presence of Wagner is a "threat". Yet it is they along with their NATO allies who desired to move closer to Russia via Ukraine, and when Russia objected saying it was a "threat", they just went ahead and did it.

Money we can USE FOR A HUNDRED OTHER MORE IMPORTANT THINGS.

First thing the US does when the new government came to power is fly Vicky Nuland in to threaten them. Not engage. Not discuss. Not listen. Not understand. Threaten . Putin and Xi must succeed in forging a counter to NATO, for the sake of the entire galaxy

  8105. First NK won't "sell", Russia has far more valuable advanced ICBM tech, they will be "trading". Second, NK will send Russia basically anything and everything as 1000 152mm guns and one million shells will turn the annexed areas into something resembling the surface of the Death Star.

Their names will be on monuments in hallowed exaltation for the next few centuries at least. There will be an entire segment of the "Victory Day" parade devoted to veterans of Russo-NATO war; Leopards and Bradleys will follow (behind, on a trailer) T-72B3s and BMP-T Terminators. One responsibility Russia does not shirk in the least is the honor of its war dead.

US is so full of isht: "routine operations in international airspace.." ; it is flying over the Black Sea in an active warzone where the US is a combatant by proxy; providing weapons and intelligence to Ukraine. Russia had every right to destroy it. Next, Biden will send a manned spy plane to do that job and the Russians will shoot that down too; and again they'll have every right to do so.

  8119. US Army would never take so long to evict a force from a city like that. In one night, stealth bombers would take out all anti-air defenses. Next night, stealth bombers take out all artillery covering the entrenched force. Precision artillery, drones, and JDAMs, make supply road impossible to use for re-supply. Now, armored force attack from two directions, encircling the entrenched force; they surrender or die. Battle is over in about a week. Russia will make HUGE investments in stealth after this war.

  8120. Whatever credibility Austin had three years ago long ago was irrevocably destroyed by his parroting of the Biden Admin. line in Ukraine. Even when a toddler could see it was hopeless, there he was talking like the Abrams tanks were within 10km of Moscow (they were, but they were on a Russian truck headed to a war museum). Now, even on matters that don't have anything to with with Urkaine directly, no one believes a word out of his mouth. Same for Blinken, and all other WH talking heads... When you lie about one thing; no one trusts anything else you say..."

  8121. They'll never do it, but LR should come out with a "Street" or "Lite" (or some other trendy sounding name) sub-brand where all that off-road hardware is replaced with a coil spring and a shock absorber only. Much of the reason LRs/RRs in the US become maintenance nightmares in a few years is massively expensive off-road hardware is never used at all. The engines and (ZF) transmissions are virtually never the problem (look at Hyundai with millions of burned up/recalled engines over the past five years----never happens with a JLR product). The problem is the air springs, valves, articulation joints, the electronic control modules and cameras, etc. all that stuff underneath every LR/RR sits there unused for years in the United States. Like any mechanical system, much of it is self-lubricating and if never used, parts get brittle, or seize, or otherwise decay far sooner than they would if they were used regularly. In America, people buy LR/RR because they look great, perform great, and are very luxurious; LR/RR throws in the off-road hardware for no benefit here as no one uses it. Just take it out. Make an LR-America sub-brand or something where the vehicle is purely the luxurious Mall-crawler it is used as here and much of their reliability problems would go away. I'd love to buy one of these, but I never go off-road so what is the point?

  8125. A THOUSAND dollars a day in cash on a "slow" day??? No amount of policy or "intervention" can stop an economic engine of that magnitude. Forget it... I never forgot what an old pimp said on an HBO show 20 years ago: Pussy will sell when bread and cotton won't After all, we are only human.

  8127. ISIS. That base is in ISIS territory and having the tactical experience to pull something like that off can only have come from guys who have been at war over a decade. I don't beat myself up for it too much as no one can see the future, but if I'd had a crystal ball three years ago I would NEVER IN A THOUSAND YEARS have voted for Biden...

  8128. Few Americans care about life; even their own. Drunk drivers everywhere, school shooters everywhere, oops you're in my driveway shooters, you fired me shooters, a cheerleader sat next to me shooters, you rang my doorbell shooters; the country is filled with shooters of every kind for any reason. Not only did this lady not care about the victim's life, she didn't care about her own. She is going to prison for life over a $10 phone charger; we have 60 million more just like her.

  8129. 93 MILLION people chose not to fight; to lay down like dogs before 60K or so poorly armed Taliban. The Army had better weapons than the Taliban and they gave up without a fight!! THIS IS WHAT THEY WANTED! To live as they always have! NOT MY PROBLEM! THEY CHOSE THIS LIFE!

  8130. Biden rejected it because there is no need to talk now. Zaluznhyi will run against Zelensky in a few months, he will win, and then negotiations will begin.

  8131. Ukraine, take the Chinese brokered deal: No NATO, but you can sign deals with France and China to guarantee your security. You can join EU economically, some parts of Donbas returned, and your people can live in peace. Just nothing ever to do with the US or UK. That's it. Of course Biden and Sunak don't like it but who cares about them; they are not Ukrainians.

  8141. I finished the season a few days ago and I felt like I'd eaten cotton candy. I liked seeing the Rancor, Cad Bane and a lot of old references, but when it was all over I just didn't care. You are 100% correct here. The actors have nothing to do; you put Jennifer Beals in there and give her 10 words then blow her up??? It looks great, but as usual, the storytellers have been gone from Hollywood for a long time...

  8143. I don’t believe it. Every election in the final weeks before the vote all kinds of “gotcha” stuff comes out by both sides. Usually lies. Also, many of the Kaisers generals were still generals 20 years later so I don’t even know what the point of distinction was. The Wehrmacht didn’t commit war crimes, the SS and Gestapo did. Still, I don’t know what Trump wants a Rommel or a Von Paulus for , we aren’t at war….
    1
  8144. I know they want revenge....I can understand that. However on Hamas' turf the odds will be even. 1000 Israeli casualties is like 47,000 to an American. 30K Hamas troops who know the territory vs. 50K or 60K IDF? It will be like Iwo Jima

  8147. Same things Russia did in 1943. Germans would take a town and 30 days later half the town would explode. Russia cannot be beaten on its own soild. NATO is leaning the lesson taught to Napoleon and Hitler...

  8148. ? RU is using the right weapon for the circumstances, correct? If they were fighting Poland or Germany they'd probably use a weapon more suited for their capabilities, correct?

  8149. After 18 months of proven absolute lies from the Biden Administration, I don't believe one shred of this. They know they are war criminals now so they will say anything to justify what they did. LIES. Trust Putin not Biden.

  8150. Zelensky says they'll lose if they don't get 25 Patriot batteries. That's only what, about $30B not counting the missiles. No problem, right Democrats? Start a GoFundme
    1
  8151. Putin has accomplished at least one war goal: If Ukraine can only fire smoke shells at Storm-Z, that means Ukraine has been demilitarized. What's surprising is NATO doesn't have any shells to give them; Russia demilitarized Ukraine, by demilitarizing NATO.
    1
  8152. That "expert" is high on crack if he thinks Russia took 55,000 casualties around Avdiivka in just four months. That's more men than Russia brought to the fuccing fight. Even Azov officer last week said "we will be outnumbered in Avdiivka 7 to 1", and estimated AFU in that city has always ranged from 6000 to 7,000
    1
  8153. Russian operational tempo has noticeably increased in the past month. Su-34, rare to see for months, now dropping 100 guided bombs a day. Mass missile bombardment every other night. Shoigu publicly said "Ukraine is weakened". Russians sense blood in the water and are going for the kill.

  8155. It's not the relatively small attack itself, it's the precedent it will set if Russia doesn't respond.

I just hope it's not a nuc...

  8156. 29 seconds in its "airspace"? That just means Russia's maps are more accurate than Polish ones.

  8159. Forbes has an article up today "confirming" that Russia used what they call an "Iskander clone" to blow up two AFU supply bases (doing significant logistical damage). The video they used is the exact same one you had yesterday showing two glowing bolts from the sky obliterating some buildings. You were 100% correct (again). No one really knows if they were actually NK rockets (US could just be saying that for political reasons), but there is no doubt that the air raids last week did MAJOR damage to Ukraine and the US putting Adm. Kirby up there a couple days later is proof that the impact went all the way to the top of the Biden Administration. Keep it up man!! You and just a few others have been the ONLY sources of TRUTH for almost two years and counting!
    1
  8160. We hear today that Biden personally torpedoed Ukraine's plan to reach a truce with Russia. Boris Johnson, the Prime Minster of Great Britain, flew to Kiev and told Zelensky not to sign and if they did there would be no security guarantees from western allies. All you CNN watchers who support this war, is THIS what you support?

  8161. at no point in this war-----EVER-----, on any day, on any front, did Ukraine have more shells to fire at Russia than Russia had to fire at Ukraine.

  8180. Maserati said a couple years back they were going after Porsche and volume. They have to sell cars and not cars only a few rich guys drive twice a month to play golf, cars that the masses with a good salary can afford and will rack up miles with. Normal usage. This will be a very good alternative to the Macan and X3.

  8181. I heard about this madness while out of town; first time I'm seeing this video. He really did "brush" the car with his hand; and every report says "Mercedes" like it was something different than a "Mazda"...its an old one probably not even worth $25K. Then these two "manly man" types square off in the middle of the street over it and the poor girl gets dropped right there in the street. So stupid...but YES absolutely this Finch is a Menace to Society; he stops in the middle of the street and fires in a crowded urban area? We'd be nuts to let this clown out.

  8184. This is a good thing; though it sometimes happens in a Democracy, no party should have absolute rule. They will pass legislation good only for their voters and not the other half of the country, fostering deep resentment. The reason the US hasn't had a Civil War in 159 years is because no matter who wins, in four years everyone gets another chance. The longer one side is able to Lord over the other, preventing their voices being heard, the more likely they will eventually choose to be "heard" a different way...
    1
  8185. I have had enough of Zelensky and his nationalists. The United States doesn't OWE Ukraine a dam thing! They need to learn to live with their bigger and more powerful neighbors like humans have had to for the last 10,000 years. Few nations ever had some "bigger bully" to run to when they were threatened, to artificially inflate them so they could stand up to their challenger, and those that did often found out the "bigger bully" wanted more from them in return than they would have lost to their rival. The DEMs and the Biden Admin can gfy because this was THEIR policy decision to tangle with the Bear, now that it has gone the other way they demand we should help them out of their mess.

  8186. Ukraine MoD put out information online, which was picked up and relayed by American and British media (to give it the "air of credibility") that a plane full of Israelis was coming to take their homes by force. Ukraine/NATO PsyOps against Russia since they can't beat them in the war....

  8187. Dude the damn city is "Fallen" in all but name two days ago. If Wagner can dance on top of monument in broad daylight that means no Ukrainian Army for almost a kilometer in every direction. Map that forward and that means half the city was either empty or in Wagner hands on Tuesday. Start preparing for the Battle of Kramatorsk.

  8188. Turning the interior of cars into an array of slab-faced rectangles is a mistake imho. It doesn't look good, it looks sterile and industrial, like the command console on the bridge of ship. When you are spending $80K you need more than industrial.
    1
  8189. Sometimes the answer is complex; but every now and then it is simple. That Russian Lancet drone has been murdering Ukrainian mobile artillery for months; something like 1/3rd of the M-777s have been damaged or destroyed by Lancet drones, not to mention the odd Gephard, or Polish tracked howitzer as well. They can't attack because they don't have enough mobile artillery and attacking without that means they'd suffer murderous casualties. It may just be that simple.

  8192. Sullivan knew better than to answer about "capabilities"; as he rightly smelled a set up. Everyone knows AFU has one shell for every ten Russia has, so if he got too "yeah baby, get some!" about their capabilities, the follow up would be "so exactly how can a country with no ammo, no guns, not enough troops, under daily bombardment possibly execute such a feat?" At that point the noose is around his neck: he must either spin some yarn that no one believes, or admit the US Reaper drone that targets for Ukraine in the Black Sea had something to do with it. Smart guy; that is why he has the position he has.

  8193. why you think you have to spend an American life?? For what purpose??

  8194. All the Westerners that understood Russia are now dead and gone. That is why so many ignorant comments here about "make Russia hurt too". These are not even mosquito bites to the Russian people; you at least notice when a mosquito bites you. Not a single living Westerner has the capacity to make a Russian citizen "hurt". Exactly 80 years ago at Leningrad, 725,000 Germans tried to "hurt" Russian people. At one point, Russia had to post soldiers at the cemeteries to stop the living digging up the freshly slain-----to EAT them. All the dogs, cats, horses, and rats in the city had already long been consumed. The Western mind cannot comprehend it so just waves it away when told this story: a Russian would rather eat a dead body than surrender. By comparison, France surrendered so their beautiful city would not have a single brick knocked down. THAT is the difference between the West and Russia. THAT is why Russia will NEVER lose this war.

  8196. More war is virtually guaranteed after Biden The Great's "Why We Fight" speech last night. WW3 started two years ago, and all it has done is escalate since then. I don't see any peaceful way out of this for Israel. There's only 7 million Jews, and Hamas, Hezbollah, Lebanon, Syria, and Iran ALL want Israel dead. That is 120 MILLION to 7 MILLION------even Joe Biden the Warmonger can't save them from those numbers. Everyone thinks Putin will be the first to use a nuke, but it is more likely Biden will be...

  8197. British Military Intelligence: The ones that told us Russians only had "shovels" 9 months ago before those shovels dug a hole in NATO's arse and took Bakhmut from AFU??

  8198. If all these women were in the "meatgrinder" 18 months ago, I might be fooled by this propaganda puff piece. However, if you are now training thousands of women to storm trenches, fight tanks, and hunt attack helicopters, only because your Grand Spring Offensive has failed, you are not doing it as a statement on "sexism". You are doing it because you HAVE TO because all your men are dead or already at the front.
    1
  8199. US military has seen enough. Watching 6 of their $10M Abrams tanks get wiped out, one by a $500 Pirahna FPV drone!!, pushed them over the edge. The remaining Abrams' have been withdrawn until they can be "up-armored". Biden originally had their advanced armor removed as he didn't want Russia getting their hands on it (which was assured if it was sent). However without it they are no more resistant than a T-64 and they are simply dying too quickly and easily; a T-72B3 one-shotted an Abrams last month. Just another one of Biden's 567 terrible foreign policy decisions starting with the bungled exit from Afghanistan...

  8200. US Army may only fire 10,000 155mm rounds in a year during peacetime for training. Last March, Ukraine was firing that in a DAY (and Russia was sending FOUR 152's back for every one Ukraine sent). How many 155mm rounds do you think Portugal made during peacetime???
    1
  8201. Ousting him may be a strategy in and of itself as it'll push everything back for weeks. Zelensky's Presidential term ends on May 21, and no one knows for sure if he'll be Constitutionally legitimate or not after that. Who knows? A month from now an Armistice and the US saves $60B. Mike Johnson will become everyone's favorite guy after that

  8202. The “bulge” hasn’t expanded now for over a week, and Napolensky demands more Western weapons to replace monstrous losses in Kursk. Go ahead UK, send more billions you don’t have to try to make this “buffer”; Russia turn it to scrap metal….”

  8209. It does appear that some powerful people in the West are just itching to go to war with Russia. They thought a proxy war using Ukraine would be easy but Russia is proving far more resilient. To win requires fully trained NATO forces but they know they cant do it because the minute American sons and daughters start getting chewed up by Russian rockets public support for the war will disappear.

The Romans knew that well; when they beat Carthage for the final time, they eliminated/enslaved/scattered all the people so that they could never return and re-build. The Gazans knew full well if they didn't come back immediately, Israeli settlers with pockets full of American money would and they would never set foot again on their land for a thousand years.

  8220. UK hasn't even seen the "painful" part yet. Russia was holding back all along gambling that smashing the "Grand Spring Offensive" would be enough to knock some sense into Biden/Zelensky and negotiate a settlement; Lavrov has been saying "let's talk" for three months now. Zelensky/Biden keep saying "No!" and trying new "game changers" that change nothing. Well, last week at the UN, Russia gave them the last chance; the State Duma of Russia (450 members strong) said: "capitulate on Russia's terms, or Ukraine cease to exist as independent country". Those are their words....

  8230. Of course Ukraine must compromise. Yesterday was yet another disaster on the front for them, more Leopards destroyed, and worst of all, video of Russian's partying in front of a perfectly intact Bradley that was abandoned by its crew. We KNOW there have been secret "back channel" talks between US and Russia on ending this farce, Ukraine complained loudly last week about it and of course Biden is like "I didn't approve that" wink-wink. Zelensky knows all of this: it is why he is lashing out at any NATO member who is not 100% for what he wants; his time is running out. As we always knew, the US is doing to work this out directly with Putin and Ukraine will have to accept it.

  8231. Nukes have been Russia's "trump card" since August 29, 1949 when they first got the bomb. The West is far wealthier and in a long conventional war will always beat USSR/Russia. The nukes level the playing field. Nothing new-----if you are older than say, 40, do you sometimes get the feeling all these under 40 EU leaders seem to have missed a huge amount of history lessons growing up??

  8233. Because once the USA and Russia are shooting at each other directly, we all die. With Ukraine in between as the proxy, we all live while only they die. That is the deal.

  8234. This morning I just thought "Russia getting payback for the landing ship attack". I don't believe that anymore; the reports all day of the scale of this means there is NO way it could have been arranged in two days. The target selection and missile programming alone would have taken weeks to put almost 200 missiles and drones in the sky, from ships, subs, land launchers, and bombers. This is something else. Probably the beginning of the "Shock and Awe" air campaign to end the war. Imagine this happening every week for the next two months. By February Ukraine's entire logistic, tactical and strategic structure to support their war effort will have been annihilated.

  8235. BBC reported yesterday that this force coming out of Orekhov is the "exploitation" force, Kyiv was holding back to use only when the "door was kicked open". Since two months of trying failed to do that, they sent it to kick the door open themselves. Assuming they do that, what is left to "exploit" the resulting opening?

  8251. I am 100% sure that if Russia had not rushed to put the Murmansk-1 GPS jamming system, the S-400 anti-air system, and the Iskander-M into Iran over the past two weeks, there would be no "peace talks for a ceasefire deal". Netanyahu has long shown there are no limits on his behavior other than what help US is willing to provide him. He could not take on Iran directly without the US; and if Biden felt like Iran would be an easy task, he may have been willing to go there. Now, since Russia's help to Iran means the JDAMs will miss, and even the F-35 will have to be careful around the S-400, hitting Iran won't be an "easy mark" and US had decided to talk. An excellent lesson for all in the use of power to prevent war...."

  8252. The coking plant was probably abandoned because what would be the point of staying in it? Sure its impossible to destroy, but Russia would just surround it and once it was cut off everyone in it would starve. A month later, they'd all come out emaciated weighing 90 lbs. and surrender, and for what? To lob some mortars or FPV drones on the few Russians in range around them? Zelensky signing all these "long term agreements" just makes it MORE likely Putin will just take Kyiv (and if they move the capital further west, they'll take that too).
    1
  8253. I mean, all of us who dont trust CNN knew this would happen in January. OK, I thought the Leopards would do better, but with how few of them there were, I knew theyd all eventually be destroyed.

  8254. Putin has to walk a fine line in dealing with Ukraine; the further east the more pro-Russia sentiment, the further west, the less. The nationalists are mostly in the west, so Putin can't just pave over the whole of what remains of the country. This "delicate" approach is why the war goes on so long; NATO gives just enough to keep the nationalists from collapsing completely, and RU can't be too harsh in their methods lest they turn those who are sympathetic against them....."

  8255. Mil bloggers say the Sukhoi S-70 Okhotnik ("Hunter"), which was spotted over Ukraine about two months ago, is being rushed to go operational this Fall to support a three-pronged "End the War" offensive in late '23, early '24. This drone, which looks like a copy of the Northrop X-47B, is a stealth flying wing, using tech Iran gave to Russia from the Global Hawk it shot down in 2019. Hypersonic and supersonic missiles, for all their destructive power, are expensive and the enemy always knows they are coming. A drone stealth bomber, with satellite guided bombs that hit without warning, would be able to neutralize key targets like airports, rail junctions, fuel storage, power stations, cargo ships in port, etc. The Global Hawk is a $200M technological tour de force of DARPA-level sensors, cameras, and surveillance equipment. Even if Iran and Russia only reached 50% of its capability it would make the S-70 among the deadliest modern weapon systems on Earth. With just ten of these, Russia could decimate all high level ability to resist in a given area, ahead of each 100,000 man "pincer".

  8256. Wars always reach the peak of their nastiness right before they end; in 1939 Hitler was content to just deport Jews, by 1945 he was cooking them like they were rump roasts. We are entering the "unrestricted monstrosity" phase of this war...

Yes we all know a Toyota will last forever, but like you say life is too short to be a car enthusiast who drives boring cars.

  8258. US announcing today that they are sending DU ammo with the Abrams when they are ready, also rushing more Bradleys in. Russia has to go on the offensive very soon; they have to decisively defeat Ukraine, not just whittle them away slowly. Biden is coming up on an Election year and if Russia wins in the next 12 months, he and the Democrat Party will lose in a landslide. For the next year US will do everything it can to stave off Ukraine's defeat---even if the rest of NATO quits. Russia is going to have to be more aggressive: shoot down US spy drones, not just dump fuel on them. Do something to force the US AWACS planes that fly on the Polish side of the border and give Ukraine all its intelligence back further so they are useless.

  8260. Apparently there is some negotiating going on between Ukraine and Russia mediated by Qatar. Ukraine's hold on that land in Kursk is a negotiation lever for Ukraine to get something in return. The fear is the 10K NK troops could tip the balance quickly in Kursk and take away the only leverage Zelensky has right before the US election. That is why Zelensky and Biden Admin. are flipping out so much over what seems to be not that many soldiers....

  8266. To Hell with them. The war is over. Russia is crushing Ukraine in all sectors. No more weapons: they just delay the inevitable and all of Zaporizhzhia stinks with the thousands of Ukrainian dead that litter the ground. There's no hiding it now; Zelensky admits it. Stop the war; talk and end the slaughter of your people.

He can't; without one or more of those three, it is illegal. If we don't demand the Biden Administration answer the hard questions, those two Navy SEALs will be just the beginning.

  8278. Well, there went any chance at a negotiated settlement. Now, Putin has no choice but to go the harsh route; if only to show his people (and the world) that there is a consequence to rejecting words in favor of violence. "No peace in our time."

  8279. Ukraine is owned or leased by EU elites who were loading up since Zelensky was installed, years ahead of what they assumed would be Ukraine joining and Russia rolling over and doing nothing.

  8287. The past 24 hours have been crazy. Ukraine fired 12 ATACMS at Kerch bridge but doesn't appear any hit (if they had CNN would be showing it right now). A vid came out on Telegram today showing RU using an Iskander on one AFU tank----a $3M missile on a single tank. US going to send JASSM , Germany says 400 more APCs to replace AFU losses; NATO is doubling down and sending everything and anything they can to try to put Ukraine in a stronger bargaining position. Everyone already knows about Pokrovsk. The war is reaching its apex (which is a sign it is nearing its end).

  8290. Biden's War. 200,000 Ukrainians have died in service to his ego. With no weapons Zelensky would have accepted the status quo and Ukraine become the neutral, peaceful country it should have been. Instead he listened to the whispers of a vengeful old man, and only ruin has followed...

  8291. Russia MoD issued "state of the SMO" yesterday. They said Ukraine has 383,000 casualties, 50 countries sent them aid totaling $203B (more than Ukraine's pre-war GDP), and they've lost 15,000 armored vehicles of all types (from tanks to Humvees). I find Russia's report more believable than the one from the CIA. Imagine getting more than your country's annual GDP in free stuff. US GDP is 25 TRILLION DOLLARS. I think you could just about afford a Death Star for $25T....

  8293. US and NATO making the same mistake they've made for decades now. The plan is to "NATO-ize" the Ukrainians that are still alive into a force that fights differently than how they do now, and in that way defeat Russia's manpower advantage. It is just the military version of what we've tried (and failed) to do in Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, etc; try to use a few months or years of training to "pull forward" to our level, people who up to now have lived their entire lives at a level about 50 years (or more) behind the West. Democrats are now indistinguishable from the Neo-Cons of 20 years ago; the outcome will be the same now as it was then.

  8294. Milley and US now directly blame Kiev for the failed offensive.

  8296. Russia not on the offensive; they already have 80% of the annexed territory; smart to sit back and let your enemy dash itself to pieces on your defenses. Sea power? To do what with? Last week Russia did naval exercises with 100+ ships, 60 aircraft and 15K troops. They played games with more planes than Ukraine has. LOL.

  8297. ...and here we are 80 years later and not one comment acknowledges Russia's contribution. By June, 1944 Russia had already destroyed three entire German Army Groups (of 2.5 million men), one Italian Army Group (of 900,000 men), and one Hungarian Army Group (of 235,000 men). US/UK fought the scraps that were left...

  8298. Ukraine been part of Russia for 1500 years. Most Ukrainians speak Russian. Whatever is there, it isn't something Russia had to be "after" as it was already a part of their Federation. It is NATO that was after it all along; incredible lies and garbage from the Western Media now that it is clear they'll never get their hands on it.

Even if you write in big letters in the title "Inspired by historical events", that is still dangerous as many people ignore such qualifiers or don't understand it basically means "none of what you are about to see is actually true". History already has an unlimited number of examples of all manner of human behavior including all genders and ethnic groups!! Instead of adding / subtracting people to stories we already know, GO RESEARCH STORIES THAT HAVEN'T BEEN TOLD!! Can't find many examples of strong women in the history of tribe X??, go search the history of another tribe! Don't add a woman to the history of tribe X as make-believe!!

  8314. I reached the same conclusion about four years ago. People ask me "why you have so many cars??" and I tell them: "these cars are retirement accounts I can drive". I have a Giulia Ti as my daily, but every other car I have is a V8, and V8 engine cars are the only ones I buy to collect. I agree with SG; an LC500 will never depreciate. Buy anything with a Hellcat engine. The C7 Z06/Camaro ZL1 will never depreciate. The GT350/GT500 will never depreciate. Jag XK/XJ/F-Type V8/F-Pace SVR just wait till they are at least 3 years old and buy one (or all)----they'll never depreciate. I stay away from German V8s because they cannot be maintained for anywhere near the same cost as American or Japanese; imho German V8s only retain their value if you don't drive them much----you can put 60K miles on a Camaro SS and it'll still be worth what you paid. 911s have retained value for 40 years; those are no-brainers. If you can afford it, one of the "secret" weapons of future value would be Maserati's with V8 engines. They will soon no longer make them, they didn't make very many over the years, and the sound from a Maserati V8 will be worth its weight in gold by 2035.

  8329. Its only when the isht hits the fan that you find out who your real friends are. When everyone is young, healthy, pretty and there's a million dollar trust fund to draw from relationships and marriages are easy. When people age, get sick, or money gets tight most will flee; only the few that remain are your true partners. Same is true among relations between Nations or Empires. Germany NEVER wanted this war-----they were pushed into it by the United States (who cemented this by bombing Nordstream). Poland, as vanguard against a Bear now blind with rage for a generation to come, will be first to feel the tide of Vengeance in the future and they know it. Those tactical nukes won't fall on Ukraine; they will fall on Poland first. Biden has set the stage for the next 50 years of Cold War II.

  8333. Two weeks ago the country voted for de-escalation right? Did I imagine that? Russia clearly communicated they'd consider this an Act of War by the United States and it appeared most of NATO believed it. Now, when he knows it is not the desire of the majority, Biden chooses to call Putin's bluff and risk a war he has zero Congressional Authorization for. Not only that, he does it in such a nakedly political, craven, last-minute way so that he will personally avoid much of the fallout (political, hopefully not literal). If Biden wanted to face down Putin he should have done so two years ago; his legacy is now that of a gutless coward...

  8334. It was only a matter of time before one of these hits scored big, and as usual, the US will overrreact, making everything worse.

Prigo just trolled 700 million people ---- HARD. Not this one, though. I know that bastard; he ran the PsyOps farm that got Trump elected in 2016. Hope the rest of you fools learned.... 🙂

  8341. 200K? That's what about three weeks production for Russia and NK combined?

  8342. Ousting him may be a strategy in and of itself as it'll push everything back for weeks. Zelensky's Presidential term ends on May 21, and no one knows for sure if he'll be Constitutionally legitimate or not after that. Who knows? A month from now an Armistice and the US saves $60B. Mike Johnson will become everyone's favorite guy after that

  8344. We are living in absolutely insane times: US has all these ships and planes gathered in the Red Sea. The irony.....right now in the Black Sea Russia has 14 warships gathered including submarines, all with Kalibr missiles. Of course that means Tu-95s and Tu-22s are in the air too.. Two Superpowers, Russia and the US, "fighting" each other, but not shooting at each other.

  8347. He surrendered in 2022 ; he can do it again. In three years I never met anyone that cares what happens to Ukraine. Biden knows Congress will never in a thousand years authorize war with Russia.
    1
  8348. Biden wanted a nice fat victory over Putin to ride into 2024. The old US "neocons" and "hawks" wanted to pay Russia back for 50 years of humiliation.
    1
  8349. Wow, I've read a LOT of WW2 stories but as an American, this one totally escaped me until now. Did not know those merchant raiders were any danger to an actual warship. I did however know that 20mm and 37mm shells absolutely could heavily damage a destroyer or unarmored cruiser, as US Navy fighters could heavily damage or even sink Japanese destroyers with their .50 caliber machine guns. That must have been a hellish few minutes for that doomed crew.
    1
  8350. Russia has countered or defeated so many NATO weapons I no longer believe in any shred of "superiority" of Western weapon technology. If F-22 and F-35 were sent to Ukraine, I believe Su-35 and Su-57 would fight them to a stalemate, and anything else like Typhoon, Rafale, etc. will be wiped from the skies with ease.

  8351. These NATO sons of hoars are really going to do it. They really are going to fight WW3 for Zelensky

  8352. Ukraine, the US proxy , vs. Russia has consumed about 500,000 lives with no "red line" crossed. US vs. Iran proxies has a long way to go...
    1
  8353. The past two weeks I've seen so many Patriots and HIMARS being wiped out I can no longer count them. It is understandable that as the Russian steamroller moves west, AFU has to move their prized NATO stuff back and when that stuff is on the move it is vulnerable.
    1
  8354. We are really living in strange times. This is a good looking coupe, but nothing that will be drooled over in 2040. The 2000 323Ci I ordered new with the manual and HK sound with the Sport pkg could be built exactly the same today, and BMW would only need to update the infotainment and that thing would sell just as many (maybe more) than this will. Strange times indeed...

  8355. BS. Like the vid with Ukraine destroying a T-90M the other day? Propaganda. Nothing more.
    1
  8356. They using only 6000 soldiers to tie up 30,000 AFU soldiers. Russia doesn't even have to move one inch forward and this little "mini-offensive" has already been one of the greatest victories in the history of warfare. AFU can't dislodge them, nor can they rotate their troops back to other sectors as long as the Russian threat is there. Just moving those units to Kharkiv exposed them to more lancet drones than were used even during the battle of Avdiivka---the losses last week in AFU guns, vehicles, supply trucks were astronomical. Ukraine has no defense lines around Kharkiv so they can only defend it with manpower, and RU has now tied that up with a 1:5 advantage. Had Ukraine just done what Russia did last week, the entire West Media would be gloating and howling with joy and elevating Syrsky to Zhukov level. Because Russia did it------silence 😂

  8357. Not even five minutes into his speech and he mentioned "they are the ones destroying the traditional values that make us all human..." He said the quiet part out loud; the part Biden and the Democrats (and CNN and Washington Post) don't want to address. This war is not really about land, the Black Sea, or Ukraine itself-----it is about protecting Russia (Russia's values) from encroachment and eventual dissolution by Wester European liberalism. This is really why the Democrats chose not to negotiate in the Summer of 2021; they want to destroy Putin and his religiously conservative cultural values (as those are the same values they are fighting the GOP over here at home); they wanted war.

  8358. Ukraine announced yesterday they are building largest military cemetery in possibly the world. At least as large as Arlington National Cemetery in the United States, and the war isn't even over yet. Ukraine is 10% of US population with same size military cemetery. Let that sink in...

  8363. Always gotta remember in 8 weeks Biden is gone. Most targets in Kursk have Pantsir/Buk/S-400 all around; a few ATACMS getting through for the next couple months will be a rounding error to logistics. Putin will make a symbolic response but nothing that will jeopardize the negotiations once Trump is inagurated.

  8369. This is the only way to stop it. Texas is not even in the top 10 for car jacking though it is the 2nd most populous State. Why? Everyone here has a gun, and it is legal to carry it in your car as long as it is not displayed, you are over 21, and not a felon. Basically virtually every law-abiding adult in Texas can have a loaded pistol at the ready under their seat or in their glovebox/console. Bad place to be for car jacking...

  8372. NATO rejected negotiations (again) as recently as two weeks ago. Remember all the "secret negotiations" news reports that Biden said he was "unaware of"? Well, Putin has now taken the gloves off.
    1
  8373. For three days this has been the top story on CNN, BBC, SKY and every other Western news outlet. Not a SINGLE one has a reporter there so these articles are basically 500,000 words and hundreds of hours of guessing.

  8374. WHAT is happening isn't all that surprising for anyone paying attention (and not reading Western MSM only); however the TIMING is so bad for Russia that one has to suspect CIA involvement.

  8376. Remember it was Blinken, Nuland, Biden, along with Milley and Austin.

  8377. Count on CNN for the lies that spew like the flame from a dragon's mouth. Is is true Russian elites aren't really very happy with Putin; the reason is he decided to use the "measured" approach to the Special Military Operation. Why try to avoid turning the entire Ukrainian country to rubble? Why was Odessa open up until last week? Why would Putin allow even one bale of Ukrainian grain to be sold? Why is Kyiv not in ruins? Russian right-wing TV has wanted to bomb London since January; why do US Global Hawks fly freely over the Black Sea when everyone knows they send targeting information directly to Ukraine? Their confidence in Putin was shaken because he wasn't behaving like a Russian; that was Prigozhin's complaint-----"why you being so damn nice??" Well, Putin got the message and the "steamroller" is now unleashed.
    1
  8378. I actually would find that believable if not for Wagner killing Russian servicemen.

  8379. Has the US State Department absolved Ukraine of culpability yet? It's been over two hours since the news broke; plenty of time for it to be believable to the ill informed masses.

  8380. For it to happen so quickly after Gershkovich was convicted, this was being arranged long before his trial. If fact, I wouldn't be surprised if it were predicated on his conviction. Look how long it took for Brittany Griner (100% a non-spy) to be released, and Gershkovich (at least 50/50 he was a spy). We are already well into Cold War II----for a person like me who grew up in the 1980s, it is kind of comforting in a way...."

  8382. Just more planes for S-300 to shoot down...
    1
  8383. RU MoD annouced today that ---- for the first time ever during the SMO ---- they will begin shooting down any "third party" drones over the Black Sea. US and UK drones been flying and sending targeting information to NATO HQs in Odessa for two plus years and Russia only send up a Su-30 to make it turn around. Now, no more warning; S-300 delete them upon detection (as it should have been all along). For every escalation, there is a counter escalation.

  8384. Lol the military Generals who want to fight Russia , China, and Iran to get glory for themselves. The foot soldiers who will be the meat for the grinder? Not so much....

  8385. CNN loves this. All the Ukrainian men are now dead, so the women can step to the forefront as "warriors". War is the last bastion of "toxic masculinity"; CNN and the American Left absolutely LOVE this war.

  8386. I'm 48 and it is really difficult to believe this is an issue for younger people. When I was 25, dating a woman with a kid was almost unheard of. I knew a girl in college that got knocked up by a 30 year old guy and she was so embarrassed she dropped out and moved back to her hometown to raise her child. Never saw her again. It is unnatural for a man to choose a partner with offspring from another man.

  8387. Kh-47 Kinzhal was used in opening weeks of war to destroy underground weapons bunker 60 km from Kyiv. Kh-22's have been used constantly; video of them hitting (and taking out) Home Depot sized buildings on YT for months.
    1
  8388. Only one issue for me: Ukraine and in general the insane US aggressiveness towards anyone not in NATO. I have no doubt Kamala Harris is ten times smarter than Donald Trump (I have always known that). However Harris is just more of the same US foreign policy that has us on the brink of THREE wars (Russia, Iran, and China) and that's more important than anything domestic. We have to drain every last living being out of the US State Department and that means a vote for Trump.

  8389. Typical Israeli response to a soldier being shot; drop a 2000 lb bomb on an entire apartment building.

  8390. Russia dropped 50% of Ukraine's electrical power grid in one night. That is the Bear Unleashed. They'll probably drop the other half tonight and Zelensky will be burning wood to keep warm...

  8391. That Polish guy was right. NATO equipment really does burn like matches. There is no coming back for that Challenger. It was engulfed in flames so fiercely only the gun barrell would tell you it was a tank. The track was off on fhe right where a pool of fuel was burning. My guess would be a mine?

  8392. Volvo would double their sales in the US if they just could free themselves from Chinese ownership. Their cars are gorgeous, comfortable and high quality. Its just that for an American, buying a Volvo is like buying a Mercedes or Mitsubishi when you are fully aware World War II is coming...
    1
  8393. How anyone can vote this Administration back in is beyond objective comprehension; to do so is purely reflex based on emotion, not logic. Maybe if an entirely new group of people, that have NO links to the DEMs currently in power, would I consider it....this group is a complete, and utter failure
    1
  8394. I like the looks but $57K and not even power folding mirrors? No way at all----that same money can get you a BMW 530i with real leather and the M Sport Pkg. A bigger, far mor luxurious car. $50K for this tops; any more and you are being fleeced. Won't matter, they'll lease fleets of them....they always do.
    1
  8395. So if all the city dwellers are leaving for small towns with more space, that means the homes they were living in the prices should be going DOWN, correct? No one is moving TO the cities; or were most of the buyers renting before??
    1
  8396. Russia has already rebuilt half of Mariupol with brand new apartment blocks, fountains, parks, etc. In 10 years the annexed areas will be so "Russian", Putin won't even have to raise an army to defend it, the PEOPLE living there will destroy anyone, even NATO, who tries to burn their homes.

  8398. Who could argue? Putin sends "draft framework' for negotiations in September, 2021 directly to Biden*. Biden ignores it and SMO starts. *The US is to blame; Biden responds and starts dealing no war
    1
  8399. NATO and Russia only fight each other directly with thermonuclear weapons. In conventional war NATO would win 100% of time (which is why Russia would use nukes, then NATO would have to) and every time direct war between them ends in half of human race gone. THIS war is NATO "fighting" Russia by means of Ukrainian soldiers as hired mercs. NATO only risks money, while Ukriane's cities burn and its people die.

Both pillars of the "Judeo-Christian World Order" now cracking like the ones in the Temple of Dagon.

  8416. This is "Biden's War" now. The lines were where they were, both sides willing to start talking, no real need to add fuel to the fire. Then Biden blows it all up to spite Trump
    1
  8417. LOL. Biden don't want to have to ask Congress and the American people to send 250,000 Americans to storm those fortifications in Zaporizhzhia that's why Ukraine can't be in NATO. If Ukraine becomes "NATO" , Article 5 means all the rest are at war with Russia the moment Zelensky signs. Who here is fool enough to think France, Spain, Portugal, Greece, Italy, Hungary and others are ready to fight Russia directly?? Even Britain admitted yesterday they only have 40 operational tanks. They'd tell Biden "you on your own with that isht, buddy". You think student loans burned Biden? Let him try to send our sons and daughters to eat Russia's rain of artillery and see how fast he gets impeached.

  8421. After 9/11 the US wanted blood and a lot of it. However, we didn't go into Afghanistan and just kill everybody. We didn't go into Saudi Arabia and just kill everybody. We didn't go into Yemen and just kill everybody. That is the easy path, which is usually the wrong one. The difficult path is to take the time to go get only the ones who are guilty, which can take YEARS. However, in life the correct choice is usually the more difficult one.

  8434. At this point in time, any car with a high performance V8 is a non-depreciating asset. These TT V6s aren't quite at that level (yet); all the previous-gen ATS-Vs are worth 90% of what they cost new; you buy this and you may not make money on it, but you'll be basically driving it for free or close to it. The Caddy V-Series cars will be the 911s of the future as electric motors replace gas ones. Manual trans. Bulletproof easy to maintain engine. Jedi-level handling. Brembos that will stop a locomotive. Ahh, yes please!!!

  8439. Kursk invasion stopped. Back to the usual…”
    1
  8440. Cannot argue with this. Correct the "Special Military Operation" was a decapitation operation; that is why Russia didn't level the country first----their "problem" was with Zelensky not the average Ukrainian. Well NATO weapons made that impossible so Russia went to "plan B"----the Russian way of doing things----turn the contested territory to rubble and occupy it. Ukraine will never now be de-militarized, but by keeping Crimea and the Annexed Areas, Russia will gain the "buffer" it desires and the warm water port it needs. Russia didn't win, but they won't lose either.
    1
  8441. Ukraine doesn't even have a Navy, while Russia's Navy gets 30 new ships. History will record this as the dumbest war ever fought. It isn't even a "war"; it is truly an 18 month negotiation process between the US and Russia. They are re-negotiating their relationship, as the agreed upon terms over the last 70 years no longer suit them. They were very far apart 18 months ago; they are much closer now. When they finally can agree, the "war" will end.

  8442. All that crazy tech to get 20 mpg while a Suburban with the old school 5.3L V8 will get 22 mpg on the highway with six people and all their luggage. I admit, 15 years from now both the Sequoia and Suburban will still be running, but the Toyota will have held up much better than the Chevy.

  8443. I'm not even sure Kharkiv was really the goal, but the Russians have found it to have defenses so weak they may as well take it

  8444. There is no non-mined area to drive through. At least one group had a mine clearing vehicle but it was quickly destroyed. Biden gave Ukraine MRAPs telling them they are "mine resistant"; yeah resistant to Afghan or Iraqi homemade IEDs. Anti-tank mines designed and manufactured to destroy 50-ton tanks laugh as they shatter MRAPs like glass...

  8450. What will it take to get through to Biden and Democrats? You give them facts, you give them history, nothing dissuades them from their belief that Ukraine can beat Russia if we just give them enough weapons. Russia defeated two of the largest armies in history, in Napoleon and Hitler. A tiny nation like Ukraine cannot defeat a fully mobilized Russia even if Biden gave them 100 nuclear warheads. Russia has 10x as many, and 10x the landmass over which to disperse its civilization. Russia would lose 30 million people and Ukraine would cease to exist for eternity = Russia wins. Does that have to happen for Biden and his liberal supporters to finally stop and talk?

As long as the specification and weight is correct; you can put the "worst" oil in your engine every 7500 miles and the thing will last for 200K miles or more. Maybe if you are racing in NASCAR or Formula One it makes a difference; if not you are kidding yourself. I'm a big fan of Pennzoil and when it is on sale I grab it as I do think it is overall one of the best. However when Wal-Mart Super Tech is on some crazy fire sale of $14 for 5 quarts, believe me I'll grab that instead and throw it in any engine I have with not a second thought. My 2012 Enclave 3.6l has 140K miles, and I have a Ford Supercharged 5.0l at 90K miles, and at a stoplight I can't even tell either is running, that is how smooth they are.

Incredibly, the Governor of Pennsylvania signs a shell along with Zelensky! ; even though the United States is not at war with Russia!! Just like when House DEMs waved little Ukraine flags a few months ago, the Democrat Party does not understand that Ukraine is a foreign country and they constantly demonstrate greater allegiance to Ukraine than to the United States!

  8471. You really have to wonder why the DEMs and the EU Left decided years ago to go after Russia. Prior to 2014, not a single EU or NATO member had any real concern about Russia. Nothing about "they coming for us!" , or "rebuild the USSR!". At most just a grudging respect for how Putin outfoxes his opponents in the West in terms of economic and/or political influence competition around the world. We all even cheered as Russia helped smash Islamic State . Then right after the "little Green men" in Crimea; it all changed. It was as if Merkel and the rest really believed they could encroach on Russia by singing sweetly (as they slowly reached around with the knife). Why?? Only the history books in the 2030s and beyond will tell...

  8474. Ukraine wastes their few remaining missiles and ammo for this while at this very moment they are retreating from Robotyne, meaning EVERYTHING they sacrificed the $20B NATO army to gain last summer is now back in Russian hands. The intransigence of Ukraine under Zelensky reminds me of that of Imperial Japan in 1945; even after two A-bombs, the Military wanted to fight on. It was only the Emperor who stepped in and said "no, we will surrender". Unfortunately for Ukraines' people, there is no Emperor to overrule Zelensky and his Nationalists....

Simple.

To potentially fight Russia he'd have to go to Congress which never gonna happen. Biden backed down as he had no choice....

  8496. Shows how NATO had no plan for this two years ago, just reactive with no thought or deep analysis. In 2022 they couldn't conceive they'd be giving away their brand new best missiles; so no one ever thought that rule was limiting.
    1
  8497. They would not allow you to run an article like this in the Western Media. I believe that up to about 1988, NATO did far more "good" than "bad". However, once the Wall fell in 1989, the feared USSR was no more. With no opposing force to give them pause, NATO's power became absolute and we all know that absolute power corrupts absolutely

  8498. All Trump will do is compel the result that would have occurred in 2021 if not for Biden and the Democrats making Ukraine their personal policy decision. Such a result (arrived at by the warring parties and not a 3rd party instigator) is the correct one.

I watched a 15 year old video where the GM engineers who came up with the algorithm discussed how they did it, and how accurate it was in their testing. Almost any GM in past 15 years has this oil life indicator (and if you reset it after your oil changes) it is supposed to be very accurate at estimating the time when your oil needs to be replaced. I have a 2012 Enclave with the 3.6 V6 and its at 190K miles now purrs smoothly; I have no idea what my OCI has been as I just changed it when the indicator reached "0%".

Make one a copy of a Volvo XC90, the other a copy of a Land Rover, give them ZERO off-road hardware, a middling V6, a smooth ride, and the "appearance" of premium materials (without actually using high-end materials). Sell it for $33K to start. Instant hit. These are fine if that's all you can afford but a Range Rover or XC90 will have $2000 worth of hardware at EACH wheel that neither of these possess. Inside, any European brand would have quality light years beyond these. Just save up another year or two and buy the real thing.

  8514. Just think. If Nuland and Blinken had not convinced Zelensky "NATO weapons are better and Russia's drunk soldiers will run from Leopard 2", he would have negotiated as he would have had no choice. Russia keeps Crimea, MAYBE some parts of the annexed areas could have gone back to Ukraine (where the people were OK with it), Ukraine absolutely could not join NATO but likely could have some EU economic cooperation (to make up for the economic loss of the annexed areas), Russia would not care if Ukraine went LGBTQ. No more war. 500,000 of his people still alive or healthy; people that could spend their time doing productive things. That looks 100x better than what Zelensky has now. Even if he somehow gets Russia out, it would take years and millions of casualties, all Ukraine's cities in ruins. By any stretch of the imagination, Zelensky choosing NATO was a terrible decision.
    1
  8515. Of course territory will be taken, lost and re-taken in battle. However, 60K NATO trained soldiers cannot totally defeat 300K fully trained reservists. Already there are murmurs that if Ukraine cannot do it, Biden will ask Congress to approve US troops to eject Russia.

  8543. I'm just going to go ahead and say it: The M1 Abrams is going to be massacred long before it ever even sees another tank to shoot at. Russia's Orlan drone loiters in the sky at will 70 km deep into Ukrainian territory and has been doing so all year long. The new Lancet attack drone now has 80 km range (just look up this week's strike on a Mig-29 70 km from the front). The Abrams' turbine engine will glow like a 4th of July sparkler to the thermal sights of the Ka-52, whose new missiles have 14 km range and are "fire-and-forget", not like the 8 km range ones that required the gunner to maintain lock that were used to decimate AFU at Bradley Square in June. The Orlan (Eagle) got a new targeting system a year ago called "EYE" (get it? EAGLE EYE? 🙂) that directly slaves it to the fire control of any TOS-1A or Tornado-S MLRS, or Krasnopol laser guided 152mm shell, meaning as soon as Orlan spots one, DFA is on the way. If, by some Divine Blessing, an Abrams survives all that to reach the combat line, the Kornet missile will rip it open just like it did the Challenger 2 a couple weeks ago. With double the bounty on it now because it is a US tank, any Ukrainian going into battle in that thing is a dead man walking.

It really is unbelievable just how blind West Media keeps most people who don't bother to do a little work to find the truth..."

  8549. These nationalists just don't get it do they? Putin has to walk a fine line in dealing with Ukraine; the further east the more pro-Russia sentiment, the further west, the less. The nationalists are mostly in the west, so Putin can't just pave over the whole of what remains of the country. This "delicate" approach is why the war goes on so long; NATO gives just enough to keep the nationalists from collapsing completely, and RU can't bee too harsh in their methods lest they turn those who are sympathetic against them....."

  8550. After this war, hopefully it won't be too long before Americans can travel to Russia again. Touring these places that are going into the history books as we speak will be incredible to history buffs. Crimea was never on my "bucket list" but it is now. 80 years ago the Wehrmacht was there trying to finish off Russia. Most of the names are exactly the same, Sevastopol, Odessa, Kerch, Azov. The Germans and Romanians took a beating but won; one of the few times they truly captured a large Russian city. Ironically, two years later it was Ukrainian troops who recaptured it. Crazy how history corkscrews over time; at this moment no one knows for sure if a future visit to Sevastopol or Odessa means a visit to Russia or Ukraine.

  8551. Of course that is true, but there IS major propaganda value to AFU when they "liberate" something, even just a farm house. That helps keep the NATO pipeline primed.

M-46s are being used because now with 130mm shells from NK, they can be used (RU does not produce 130mm caliber). The gun is 80 yrs old but has 17 km range and the 130mm shell ballistics make it good enough for counter-battery fire and infantry suppression. RU has thousands of these in storage as they were (and are) still widely in service around the world.

  8569. Last chance is right. After this NATO-trained army, there is nothing left but the same ancient Soviet-era scraps Ukraine had two years ago. Even Stoltenberg said yesterday the offensive is basically just to take territory to improve Ukraine's position in future peace talks; there is no longer any illusion Ukraine can eject 300K entrenched Russian soldiers from Crimea and the annexed areas. The NATO wonder weapons were smashed last week; its over.

  8570. LOL "Iran...., risking a wider war....." Israel, firing on Iran all summer long isn't "risking a wider war"? US propaganda is to the point it makes me nauseous. In April Biden made it clear to Netanyahu the US would not participate directly in any counter strike on Iran. Let's see if old Joe remembers.... If he doesn't he should be impeached because there is NO existing Congressional Authorization for war with Iran.

  8573. Russia in just the past 24 hours has bombed the airport in Kyiv destroying planes (and possibly another Patriot!). They've destroyed the Ukrainian Intelligence HQ building with a Kinzhal (and very likely killed Budanov, the Head of Ukrainian Intelligence as he was confirmed to be inside at the time of the strike.)

  8579. If the malfunctioning HVAC was reflected in how much he paid for the car, and everything else is otherwise in good shape; I wouldn't consider this the End of the World. Let's say the car would cost $9K in good shape, no major issues. With faulty HVAC maybe you offer $7500 and seller takes it. Now, you have to drop $3K to get it all sorted so you are really "out" $1500 over the car's "good shape" value. However, you now have a Rav4 that is better than a "good shape" 18 year old one, and depending on the mileage, you may get another 125,000 miles out of it with little more than gas and wear out items. I'd pay the money to get it done right, then drive the ** out of that thing for the next 100,000 miles and give it to my HS kid and let him put another 100,000 miles on it. 🙂

  8580. I'm 49 and up until two years ago I figured all those Cold War era planes I built models of as a kid in 1982 would never see a "real fight". Air policing, and no fly zones, and fighting dirt poor countries don't count; the only models I built that were ever challenged were the F-4 Phantom and Mirage III. I still think the F-14/15/16 are "great", but that is just my bias and now as an adult I realize we simply don't know if they are because they've never faced a peer-level opponent. When the Gripen showed up in my Air & Space magazine around 1992 I thought it was hot (I was always a fan of the Viggen). However if you read any of the "hard truth" aviation YouTubers (not the CNN or NAFO ones), most say an F-16A/B has almost no chance; they can't even fly it in as there are Mig-31s in Belarus just waiting to slap it down. They say the F-16V has a chance to survive long enough to complete its mission, but once an S300 is around it simply has to stay far away. Much as I like the Gripen, I don't see how it will fare any better than a later model F-16.

  8583. US DoD now admits "Spring Offensive" has failed, is now planning for a restart in the Fall. The "Peace" summit in Jeddah, was instigated by the US in March/April, and timed to coincide with what was hoped would be significant Ukrainian gains by now, will obviously either be canceled or be a waste of time. In other words, Biden hoped by now Russia would be on her knees, and Jeddah would be where he and his lapdog Zelensky would dictate terms to a humiliated Putin. I guess we'll all be back here in November after Russia has smashed all the Abrams tanks. See ya'll then! 🙂

  8590. They didn't have nukes in 1941 and they absorbed the greatest blow from the best Army on Earth at the time. Not only did they absorb it, they spent the next four years crushing that very same army wherever it dared to stand against them. The West is decadent; 30% of Americans of fighting age said they'd run away if Russia invaded during a poll last year. The West will do nothing.

If they don't respond, NATO will believe they don't have the spine and will only increase this course of action.

  8601. "Ceding this to Ukraine" , "has Ukraine won this phase" , LOL. The phrases are such laughably absurd propaganda. CNN trying anything, anyhow to show something positive for Ukraine. Here is the truth: All those ships and subs are berthed there because Russia doesn't need a nuclear attack sub to beat Ukraine. However, NATO is giving Ukraine missiles and targeting data to attack these ships, so the smart thing to do is simply move them out of range so they can't be hit. Once the war is over they can just move them back. It really is just that simple. Germany just said "NO" to giving Ukraine Taurus missile because then Germany would have to assist with target programming as their military are the only ones who can do that, putting Germany into the war like the US/UK are with targeting for Storm Shadow. Germany does NOT want to be drawn in further. Russia could not know what Germany would do, so of course they have to plan for the worst and move the ships out of range of the Taurus as well. The warships used for bombarding Odessa will simply sortie from this port until the war is won. No big deal; they have to burn more fuel per sortie but Russia has enough oil and gas to last a thousand years.

I'm not even sure what there is left in NATO stocks to give that they haven't already tried. I heard Biden is considering giving the JASSM-ER, but that is so new even the US Air Force doesn't have that many of them to use. If RU captures one, they get a decade worth of goodies overnight. Germany isn't giving up the Taurus, especially now they know Zelensky blew up Nordstream 2 and owes them like $600B because of it. What's left? France/UK SCALP/SS is the best they've got. F-35s and Typhoons?? It'll be 2029 before the first Ukrainian pilot is ready. Just stop; you NATO bots already long past making this a laugh-fest....."

  8649. Because they've been lied to by Zelensky (who himself was lied to by US diplomats and experts in Biden Admin.). NATO is the problem. No NATO, no war. Ukraine didn't have to choose to be a future vassal of NATO; look at Sweden. Neutral, non-aligned but still EU and all the gay sex they could ever want to have, no problem. US convinced Zelensky only NATO membership could give him this future and he believed it. All that promise has brought is war and ruin for Ukraine.

Yeah thats the FAB-500 satellite guided bomb carried by the Su-34 that is now running wild all across the Western and Southern front. The relentless Lancet drones have wiped out all the AA defenses the last few weeks since Zelensky can't spare the ones protecting Kyiv and Odessa. 500 kg (1100 lbs) of whoop-ass landing on AFU over 100 times a day now; exterminating all life in a two football field radius (and blowing out lungs and eardrums another two football fields).

RU started the war with only 50,000 men; to have "lost" 90% of them means they've taken only about 45,000 casualties in two plus years of war. Which, of course, is not true but if it were would mean Russia has been a smashing success. That's the problem with lies and propaganda. Once you get use to it, you cannot even tell when you yourself sound like an idiot.

  8681. ...about the same for AFU and they have 1/5th the population so the "loss" for them is 5 times more impactful than that of Russia. Yet, no words about that from Austin. At this point; the sooner the US and NATO is blown out of Ukraine, the better for all involved. This is the greatest foreign policy disaster of the US since Vietnam.

  8682. So nice the alien craft have running lights.... All these fools "they are more advanced than anything I've seen"----right, and you personally have seen "everything". 40 years ago as a child I loved reading books about UFOs and the Bermuda Triangle. Nothing has changed...

  8685. People act like this is something new. ALL the anti-Israel groups in the area have been sending missiles, rockets and drones on our ships and bases in the area for over a month!! This ONE just got through. THEY DIDN"T DO ANYTHING DIFFERENT! Our PRESENCE invites challenge and they've been challenging us all along. They DON'T want us there....the civilians don't want us there. The governments don't want us there. Ignoring them makes us the "aggressor". If you tell someone in your house they are no longer welcome and to leave, and they don't, they instantly become an aggressor.

  8687. Jesus Christ. The Russians did the old "blow up the front, then blow up the back" routine to trap the train with a dam rocket from 50 miles away. Tornado-S accurate enough to trap the train, then they can destroy the rest of it at leisure. If there is any "game-changer" in this war, it is the combination of Orlan/Lancet. Those two have been ripping AFU a new arsehole for a year now and still NOTHING can stop them.

  8688. Today, 2/18/25, the "Iron Curtain" between the United States and Russia, up for about 17 years, has fallen.
    1
  8689. $50B already from the US alone and Russia is winning on every front. These NATO leaders seem to have no long term planning other than sending more weapons. Weapons Russia destroys in storage, counters with electronic warfare, wipes out in combat, or otherwise counters. Months later it's "we need more". Biden has completely bungled this from the start. When will people realize his age is probably affecting his judgement?
    1
  8690. I bet all who agreed with Biden and NATO 18 months ago are thinking "you know, we should have talked with Putin in the Winter of 2021. Even the worst outcome of negotiation at that time is better than this."

  8691. LOL. It is "sq km" and that was on Aug. 8th, today is the 28th. NATO bot account...."
    1
  8692. The plan is the one JD Vance spoke of last week: RU keeps Crimea and the Russian-speaking territories. A DMZ of some kind in between. Remnant Ukrainian State. No NATO for Ukraine; no US missiles in Ukraine. no Royal Navy in Sea of Azov. Ukraine can join EU, France and China can arm Ukraine and sign security deals, but no offensive weapons. The only people unhappy about that plan are the US and UK and eff them as Ukraine don't belong to them

  8693. Russia has 1500 combat aircraft, Ukraine has 82. Bit of a problem...

  8695. Looks like yesterday's Kalibr cruise missile barrage took out a warehouse storing Challenger 2 tanks! Everyone been wondering for months where these Challengers are because we all know they aren't at the front fighting. Just like the cafe strike Russia has spies and eventually they'd find where Ukraine is hiding them. Bye Challys!!😂
    1
  8696. Shoigu said AFU losses since start of SMO are 444,000
    1
  8697. The 31,000 number is pure propaganda designed to make us think investing in Ukraine is still a good idea. Somehow, Ukraine killed 500,000 Russian soldiers and only lost 31,000 of their own, but they could only have done that with the "magical" US weaponry. Therefore, they are a "good investment". I see it now...😂
    1
  8698. What asset is able to hover unbothered 20 km deep into Russian territory and sight for HIMARS?? THAT is RU biggest problem the last few weeks that I can see. AFU can see Russian Orlan drone, but either don't have the expensive missiles to shoot it or would rather save the few they have for Ka-52 or Su-35. Russia don't have any supply problem with anti-aircraft missiles, so how they heck they allow whatever that thing is to just hover over their territory like that? If they don't know its there, then it must be stealth and that can mean only one thing: US Military asset.
    1
  8699. In 2003 this was impressive, but back then we had no perspective. Now, after watching Russia go up against the weapons of 51 countries, US/UK intel, Polish, German,UK, and US mercs actually operating weapons, and WINNING after two years. American planes facing zero opposition seems pathetic by comparison....maybe it needs to be done, but there is no pride or glory in it.

  8704. The next few months will be exciting indeed! In response Russia has moved 46 Iskander-M launchers closer to Ukraine. You remember him right? Hypersonic, 500 km range, 5-7 meter CEP accuracy? Putin wins again. I swear NATO never learns not to mess with the Mighty Bear! 😂😂

  8707. "Bill has funding for repatriation flights, up to 77 per day". Yeah, but its optional , not required. 77 flights per day is what, about 15,000 people? Make it 150 flights per day and make it MANDATORY. Fly 'em home. I'd rather pay for that than for more tanks to Ukraine for Russia to just blow up.
    1
  8708. The leaders of US and EU (Germany , UK) have always hated Russia since 1917. Kyiv didn't create the hatred, just tried to use it to get their (old) nationalist dream realized. They actually could have but they had to include NATO and that's the straw that broke the camel's back....
    1
  8709. Spent more time worrying about Ukraine and people arriving by boat, than he did his own citizens. Just like Joe Biden; who will soon share the same political fate...
    1
  8710. Russia has been blitzing Ukraine from the air at level 10 now for three weeks. Never a peep in the Western media till now. Why? Because its working. Russia is shattering Ukraines rear area logistics and industrial capacity, add that with reduction in NATO aid, and Ukraine is doomed. Media crying is the standard response whenever Kyiv is being obliterated

  8711. That looks like a fireworks explosion, Ukraine could have hit it to disrupt the US 4th of July fireworks market

  8715. I am 48 years old, and born and raised in Chicago. I can tell you from experience that prior to about 1988 or so, this "summer spike in shooting" theme did not exist in Chicago. The "Chicago crime story" prior to that point was the Housing Projects----so pervasive was it that a national TV show, "Good Times" was created about life in a housing project. Before the projects it was Al Capone. Beginning around 1990---when crack cocaine was the "fetty" of the day---that's when the mayhem started. It has not abated since. I am hopeful it will one day end, just as the Capone gangsters, the Projects, etc. ended. Unfortunately based on history it will only be replaced by something even more deadly....
    1
  8716. Ukraine offensive failed, so leading up to the NATO Summit they wanted to show something positive. So all the little drones knocking out windows in Moscow, all the Storm Shadow strikes at Kerch, the cute little speedboat drones, etc. All designed to say "hey we are worth supporting!" It kind of worked, Biden sped up the Abrams, Germany pledged 100 refurbished 1960's era Leopards, another $200M sailed through Congress, etc. Great. Why Ukraine officers sending 12 Storm Shadows at one bridge, while you have vehicles and infantry taking the exact same three roads day in/day out north of Robotyne for the past TWO months?? Russian artillery can shoot them with their eyes closed they been firing on the same coordinates so long. The Germans were right; Ukraine don't know that the eff they are doing. Once the offensive push failed, they've just been treading water filling up their casualty lists.

  8717. Zelensky demands Russia surrender. Biden should give him the USS Missouri and he can sail it into the Black Sea to host the ceremony with Putin....😂

Japan ( Japan! ) newly elected prime minister, Shigeru Ishiba, forms Cabinet with emphasis on defense yesterday. Japan hasn't been this aggressive since 1945; a reflection that NO ONE FEELS SECURE ANYMORE. Biden, Blinken and the whole incompetent lot need to be voted out of office.....

  8729. Ukraine says he's dead; its on Ukraine to prove they are not liars, not on Russia. Now NATO will spend time running around trying to prove what Ukraine said, while Russia put 10 missiles into Kherson last night wiping out 3000 tons of NATO ammunition. Russia doesn't play at war.
    1
  8730. Russia has enough grain of its own to give it away for free; they don't need Ukraine's dam grain. They need Ukraine to not be in NATO so the US can put their missiles and Navy into Ukraine.

  8731. Palestine just trying to get their land back, just like Ukraine. Is Biden sending Hamas cluster shells? That's all we have left....
    1
  8732. OMG this guy. There were only FOUR possible avenues for an attack to accomplish what BBC/CNN/NYT was telling the whole world for months was the goal. Wall Street Journal had an expert analyze all four possible routes and Zaporizhzhia or Kherson were the two most likely. Russia not stupid, they can see everything we can see (and a lot more). Russia didn't move troops until around July when it became clear that Zaporizhzhia was not a diversion attack. Then they shifted 40,000 to Tokmak sector and beat the tar out of AFU.

  8733.  @s4ss  You contradict yourself with your own stupidity! Russia would NEVER move a Pantsir-S1 to stop a drone that carries a 5lb warhead to Moscow!! Madness!

  8741. Biden gonna back down. He can't start a war with Russia without Congress so to do something that Russia may consider an Act of War, he at least has to go before Congress and justify the risk of war. Biden not going to do that 2 months before election..... Or, he'll give the satellite target data to UK and only the Storm Shadow can be used.

  8743. They don't need propaganda to paint a rosy picture; the facts speak for themselves. China, Iran, and North Korea are firmly on their side----guaranteeing everything they need from microchips to a flood of dumb shells. Other than NATO everyone buys their oil and grain; both of which are in virtually limitless supply. Their Arctic domination means they'll still be a LNG powerhouse in 2257. What have they to fear?

  8744. Wait, did you just pretend like Ukraine has a problem with it?? You forgot two weeks ago Ukraine blows up a family coming home from the beach on Kerch bridge and said "its a military target"????

  8752. "Hamas and Vladimir Putin share the same goal"??? That is pure madness; makes no sense at all. These wars have little to do with political theory; one is 2200 years old, the other merely the creation of an ultra-nationalist and NATO opportunism. They are NOT related nor are they "vital to our national security".

  8753. Imho, the BMW 3-Series and the Audi A4 are basically untouchable in this class. The quality of those is head and shoulders above all competitors, the Benz C-Class is actually quite soundly beaten in quality by the BMW/Audi at this level, Benz isn't competitive until you get to E-Class or higher. A Genesis simply isn't even in the same ballpark from an engineering or build or material quality; even the Alfa Romeo Giulia has a vastly superior Ferrari-designed platform architecture to the G70.

  8759. Russia has successfully demilitarized NATO.

  8760. Zelensky not even in charge anymore, Biden mentally cannot even remember where he is. Stoltenberg and G7 is now the "leader" of Ukraine
    1
  8761. Two US senators support Poland's request to intercept Russian missiles that "appear" to be headed for their airspace and wrote a letter to Biden asking him to do it. No decision made and this is something Stoltenberg rejected a few months ago. No idea if Rutte supports it but even if he does, Biden is the one who decides everything for NATO.
    1
  8762. Reports coming in from multiple sources the past hour that last night's raid destroyed Ukraine's Intelligence HQ in Kyiv. They say it was the hypersonic shovel called "Kinzhal" 🙂
    1
  8763. Back in September, after the Putin-Kim summit, rumors were that along with the millions of rockets and shells, Russia was going to get KN-25 Heavy MLRS systems from NK. No one knew if that was confirmed or how many, and I have not heard a peep about them since. We know the rockets and shells are coming, but even now no one has even mentioned anything bigger from NK. Until today. The KN-25 MLRS fires missiles so large, the US calls them "ballistic" (just as Kirby does here several times), even though it is basically just a HIMARS on steroids. These are so new (2019 first reports of them) and never been used anywhere before so the specs are just guesses: about 400Km range, maybe sat-nav guidance, about 90m accuracy, but they are so large (600mm!), a salvo of them from its quad-tube launcher, means FOUR 6,600 lb monster rockets all landing within about a football field at Mach 3. If that is what Russia has, no wonder the US is making an announcement about it. That is a tactical city wipeout weapon.

  8770. What exactly is "Wagner" now?? They are not "Storm Z" as those are former Wagners who joined the regular Russian Army in assault units. Is that what you refer to as Wagner now? They can't be the PMC folks as private armies were outlawed in Russia.

  8778. Yet ANOTHER new hypersonic missile----this one with unlimited range-----while the US does not even possess ONE operational hypersonic missile. We spend 10 TIMES what Russia does on weapons , yet ours are far from 10 times as good. In fact, ours seem to be just as easy to destroy as theirs. So WHY THE HOLY EFF DO OURS COST SO MUCH??? The US taxpayer has bent over for Northrop Grumman and Lockheed Martin for so many decades, they don't even bother to buy us a drink or kiss us before they get behind us...

  8780. It isn't just MB. 30 years ago you couldn't even get leather seats in 90% of cars; it wasn't even offered. Today you can get leather in a Kia (and an audio system every bit as good as Burmester). When all cars have what used to be "luxury", what is luxury? Performance was where the gap was maintained the past 20 years; big powerful engines cost more than small less powerful ones. Then Hellcat. 700+hp in a cheaply built Dodge with plastic interior. Uh oh. Now the EV have made this even worse. Instant torque means 0-60 in 3 sec for all with ease. So, everyone has luxury materials, everyone has OLED screens, everyone does 0-60 in under 4 sec. What is the point of buying a Benz??

  8782. Youtube, are you serious?? Ukraine itself said "over 3000 guided bombs hit Ukraine in June, and we expect more than that in July" and when I referenced that it was deleted. Western Media censorship is one big reason it is difficult to resolve this war by diplomacy. The average citizen doesn't realize how bad it is because any unfavorable news is blocked.
    1
  8783. Stupid US/UK and EU leaders learned that trying to be "a little bit at war" is like trying to be "a little bit pregnant". Stupid Americans should have known better as Vietnam was only 50 years ago, but I guess UK never really had a "managed political war" to realize how foolish it was to proceed. Biden just sit down with Putin in Oct. 2021, figure out what you can and cannot live with, come to some agreement. No, instead you try to just take it all by force; now look what you have, far less than what you could have kept by diplomacy. Stupid NATO leaders....."
    1
  8784. I agree Putin's statement is his usual "maskirovka". However, RU has consistently stated the "buffer zone" is to protect their cities from "cheap" shelling, not all shelling. Garden variety artillery guns, cheap rockets, etc.----think of stuff Hamas might use---that is what drives the size of the zone. Of course expensive missiles and gun systems can reach 80 km or more, but those are not cheap, and they are very difficult to hide. When I first heard about the "buffer zone" back in October, I too looked at the map and felt "how can you make such a zone without taking Kharkiv?"

  8785. Putin going to tell him the Hawasong-11 missiles are too inaccurate and need to be improved to match the accuracy of the Iskander.

  8787. A shopping mall with Storm Shadows stored inside is a "military facility."
    1
  8788. LOL. Same thing Ukraine MoD said after Avdiivka. "...we are moving to more advantageous positions to save the lives of our soldiers..." They are retreating to try and build a defense line somewhere between the current front and Kharkiv. With no bunkers, mines or fortifications, that "line" will only slow the RU steamroller
    1
  8789. That's not possible; Russians are dumb, vodka-swilling conscripts, armed only with shovels, that will run away as soon as the shooting starts---they can't possibly learn, adapt, and fight bravely.

Isn't he the one who said in January that Russia had 200K KIA (at a time when Russia had not even deployed 200K soldiers)? Or last week's embarrassing debacle with Xi?? Blinken's mouth is a fount of ignorant stupidity like the flame that issues from a dragon's maw...
    1
  8795. 20 to 30 % losses taking its toll; NATO doctrine say withdraw a unit after 10% losses. Russia has defeated Leopard, AMX10, Bradley, Avenger, HIMARS, JDAM, Switchblade, Patriot, CAESAR, Gephard, Excalibur, M777, Stinger, Milan, Javelin, Storm Shadow, and Challenger was prohibited by UK so it's the same as it not being there. None of that can even be disputed. F-16 won't change anything either. If they fly too close they get dropped, if they land in Ukraine they get bombed. Putin has already said if a single F-16 attacks Russia and goes back to Poland,Romania,Bulgaria etc. Russia will "Alpha Strike" every NATO airbase that could operate an F-16.....and he can do it.
    1
  8796. Russian MoD says they took out 40 French, and a week later they publish all their names and France FM has to send diplomats to Kyiv to accept their remains. I believe Russia more than anything from Ukraine or NATO. The losers always have more incentive to lie

  8797. Russia soldiers all salivating to be the first to get that huge bonus for the first one to destroy Abrams tank. Everything and everyone along the front is waiting for them to show up. Kornet atgms, Lancet drones, Krasnopol guided shells, Ka-52 and Mi-28 attack choppers, regular artillery, etc. Watch the first one hits a mine and blows up and everyone is pissed as no one gets the bonus. 😂😂😂

  8799. From infantry-heavy assaults in Bakhmut, to "cope-cages" , to "turtle-tanks" , to prisoner conscripts, every adaptation Russia has made in this war follows the same pattern in Western propaganda. First, ridicule...then silence...then suddenly you see Ukraine and Western armies doing the same thing. Motorcycles have been very useful for infantry since WW2. The vanguard of every German Army Group in WW2 was two troopers on a motorcycle (with a gunner in a sidecar). The advantage is speed, which is an "armor" all its own----you can't destroy what you can't hit. Another advantage is stealth; RU is using e-bikes and golf carts for the same purpose; these make no sound nor have a thermal signature. In 1941, the Japanese Army out-flanked and defeated the British Army in Singapore by using bicycles.... NATO not laughing anymore..."

  8800. In 15 months I never heard of any "plot to invade Ukraine" by NATO; so I don't even know where Prigozhin is coming from with that. The reason for the war is accepting Ukraine into NATO allows the US to use its territory to stage missiles like Aegis Ashore, currently in Poland and Romania, in Ukraine. This is like Mexico joining the Russian Federation and deploying missiles to be based in Juarez. US would never accept that; we'd have to go to war to prevent that because allowing it would turn us into slaves. With no USSR to counter it, NATO has grown so much in power the past 30 years, it has become what it beheld: an instrument of tyranny. Russia can never allow Ukraine to join NATO as doing so has but one purpose: to bring Russia to her knees...

  8804.  @kenjohnson9654  Never heard that but even if true not the same. US DID the targeting and overwatch, not "advising". Does Iran fly ITS OWN drone over Ukraine? No. Try again.

  8805. Even after knowing Ukraine sabotaged Nordstream (with CIA complicity) in order to sever the tight financial relationship between Germany (a key NATO ally) and Russia. Even after knowing Biden and Johnson rushed in to stop a fully negotiated peace deal that Zelensky was considering signing over a year ago, that would have ended the war, and saved hundreds of thousands of lives. Even after Stoltenberg admitted in an interview last month that NATO (not Zelensky) rejected Russia's terms to prevent war because "it gave Russia everything it wanted". Even with full knowledge that Donetsk, Kherson, Luhansk and Zaporizhzhia have had majority Russian-speaking residents longer than the United States has existed. Even after Mitch McConnell openly admitted in an interview on "Face the Nation", that money for Ukraine first goes to US weapons makers, who then ship the new weapons to our Military, while the old weapons collecting dust get sent to Ukraine. Gleefully smiling at the prospect that this proxy war is an opportunity for the US Army to get some unscheduled upgrades (with no acknowledgement of the massive loss of life on the other side of the world). EVEN KNOWING ALL THESE FACTS. Some in America still think this was a good idea. I have no words....

  8807. Yes, many people were stupidly buying $80K Hellcats and pickup trucks while renting or living with their grandma. However, the truth is cars cost too DAMN much. A Civic or Corolla is now almost $30K! That is a $600 a month payment on a 5 year loan. Insurance is another $100 a month, then even with their incredible fuel economy, gas is now $5/6 most places so there's another $300 a month. Very, very few people can afford $1000 a month purely for transportation. Don't even say "drive an old car". Modern cars don't hold up like they used to. All the parts around the engine are now plastic and they crack at 6 to 10 years of age NO MATTER WHAT. I've seen 2016 Mazda/Toyota with cracked manifold and its $2K to fix. Then the AC compressor or water pump wears out and theres another $1000 to $2000. I make almost $200K a year and I just bought a Nissan Versa for all of $21K to go back to in office commute. 40 mpg, driver assistance, touchscreen with Carplay, comfy seats. What the heck more do you need?

  8812. I've been waiting to see a Taycan 4S up close. I'll just say this. I'm not an EV Evangelist; I just like cool high performance cars. Unfortunately the EV "premium" means I won't be driving one for a very long time. I currently drive a Jag XJ Supercharged. The interior of this Taycan is about equivalent to what I'd expect in an Audi A4. For $128K. Let that sink in. For those that want the "EV experience in a Porsche, its all yours. I'd buy a 2020 911 or Cayman GT4 all day long over this Taycan.

  8813. Sad that even modern Europeans dont know much of their own history. Viktor Orban knows what unrestricted warfare with Russia leads to and he is trying to stop the horror show of 2025 this could become. At Stalingrad, the Hungarian Second Army (its best equipped), was smashed by the Red Army when it broke out and surrounded the Germans to achieve victory. The Hungarians took 80% casualties, so they know what an enraged, pissed off Bear is capable of. Half of Americans and Europeans simply don't get it: the Russian Bear isn't even awake---all we've seen the last two years is it kicking in its sleep.

  8818. People think this is happening because the American aid hasn't come through and that is just false. The last shipment of aid (on the last approved Bill) was in January. There is usually a two-month "pipeline" of ammo, so how can they run out in 2 or 3 weeks? The cause was Russia's missile blitz in December and early January. CNN only shows you an apartment hit by a shot down Geran; they don't show the massive ammo depots obliterated by Iskander...

  8819. Russia dropping 100 missiles on Ukraine every other night now. Patriot long wiped out, IRIS-T wiped out...they have point defense only now and even that is only in Kyiv and Odessa; that's why whatever they shoot down falls on them anyway. Near Kupiansk Su-34 is flying with no opposition the past week, putting 1100 pounds of satellite guided whoop-ass on any AFU unit that dares to stand its ground. That "shopping mall" CNN showed a flaming mess yesterday was where Ukraine was building and hiding its naval drones.

  8833. The whole "the money isn't going to Ukraine, it goes to Lockheed Martin, who makes new while the US Army sends out the old junk. It's an upgrade program!" narrative no longer holds water. Russia destroyed all that old junk last year. Every Storm Shadow UK makes goes to Ukraine. Every 155mm shell NATO makes goes to Ukr---ahem---Israel now. We just sent the GLSDB to Ukraine and our army doesn't even use it yet. We are now spending 2024 dollars on Ukraine, not 1993 dollars. Dollars that can be used for other 2024 needs. Homelessness in the entire country can be solved for $20B; wouldn't you like to have clean, nice downtowns again like we had 30 years ago? I would.

Americans knew; how else could Zelensky have sent Strykers into Russia without first getting approval??" This was NATO's "last roll of the dice" to give AFU its best chance for some kind of success. A new Battle of the Bulge, for similar reasons, and with the inevitable same outcome..."

  8841. NY Times article confirmed NATO convinced Zelensky to tear up the Peace Plan he signed in Istanbul. So NATO restarted a war that was essentially over. Now, two years later, and NATO is losing, they blame China for helping Russia beat them. If NATO leadership came up for a democratic vote in all 31 countries tomorrow, all of them would be voted out.

Fool Americans think there is a difference between the average Ukrainian and the average Russian; they are the same!

  8846. Our leaders say they are doing it for us; for "democracy and freedom and the rules-based order", but I now realize they (the few elites at the top in NATO/EU), are doing this mostly for themselves. Just imagine if, before every war, the US or NATO gave all its citizens a purely democratic chance to vote on whether it should be done or not?

Not sure if Kyiv or Odessa but those 12 bombers that took off about two hours ago have clearly done their dirty work. By dinnertime in the West we'll know how much more of Ukraine is now in flames.

  8867. I think----scratch that, I know---most do not Westerners really understand just how dangerous things have become. UK in particular has put itself first in line, even ahead of the US, in its overt aggression towards Russia. They were first to offer up Challenger, first to send DU shells, first to send long range missiles, and now first to publicly bless attacks on Russia proper. I can assure you Putin has noted all of it. The US just today flew bombers over Bosnia---to send a message to Serbia (a firm Russian ally). Take five minutes and imagine what NATO appears to be to people who are not in NATO. Our leaders are slowly and inexorably moving us to war, a war they have not asked us citizens if we want. Have not asked Congress or Parliament to declare.

If Biden doesn't block them, they flood in---our millions of struggling citizens (struggling because of massive inflation caused by stupid NATO war on Russia)---will buy them.

  8884. Every generation has their sexual preferences and todays 30-something male has had his brain wired from puberty to expect "perfection" in a female form. As pre-teens they played video games with pixel-perfect "bouncy" female action characters, digital special effects in movies removed all visible flaws from attractive female actors, the porn they watch is every year less comprised of real human women and more of digitally enhanced or completely digital "women". I am a regular at strip clubs and I rarely see men under 30 in there; the women are real so there is a wide variation of face shapes, skin tones, height, (weight is within a narrow range), hair length and color, and of course T&A shape/size. My generation of men 45 - 54 loves this variety; the under 30 guys find all that variation unappealing...

Maybe if Hitler is on your border and going to put you all in ovens, or aliens invade and plan to eat you...that's about it.

  8889. Zelensky said "...we only lost 31,000 soldiers..." and even CNN mouth dropped open at how absurd that sounds. Yes, they paid benefits to 31,000 families of fallen soldiers, as that is the number they could verifiably locate. How do you think that makes a potential Ukrainian man to want to serve when he knows that if he is buried under a building after a Russian guided bomb lands on it, his wife / children / parents will get nothing??
    1
  8890. This is how wars go from "low intensity skirmishes" to massive bombardment and 40,000 dead in one day: bit, by tiny bit. Like a gang war; every action gets a slightly more aggressive response. A year from now Kyiv is going to look like Bakhmut unless the war-mongers get their heads out of their rears. Russia has a flipping point: Ukraine in NATO means the US will put their "Aegis Ashore" missiles into Ukraine, turning Russia into America's slave. They can't allow that. Remember Cuban Missile Crisis when America was ready to go to war to prevent USSR from doing exact same thing?? THAT is the true trigger. Yet, no one in the West is putting pressure on NATO to back off from this aggressive stance.

  8891. Nahh, India, Pakistan, China, the BRICS, and virtually all the countries on the African continent see no threat from Putin. Only you and NATO quake in fear...

  8892. It does appear that some powerful people in the West are just itching to go to war with Russia. They thought a proxy war using Ukraine would be easy but Russia is proving far more resilient. To win requires fully trained NATO forces but they know they cant do it because the minute American sons and daughters start getting chewed up by Russian rockets public support for the war will disappear.

  8894. Zelensky seems to be inflating his importance with the constant "If we lose its WW3", but that is because most of us are unaware of the degree to which the EU have their fingers buried deep into Ukraine. This isn't just Vicky Nuland's pet project to make Ukraine "liberal" and "Western"; social policy is nice but MONEY moves the world. The leasing of all of Ukraine's farmland to ADM/Cargill/Monsanto etc. since 2014 is somewhat widely known, but the news that EU has been storing its LNG overflow in Western Ukraine since at least 2021 was news to me. When Russia bombed this storage area a couple weeks ago it sent shockwaves through the entire EU as that gas storage financing/insurance goes straight to Brussels. To protect 20% of the world's grain and the LNG overflow storage for the entire EU, that just may cause WW3!

  8895. FINALLY some people in GDF'ing Ukraine calling our this NATO BS for what it is. Ukraine is supposed to be "democratic" but it is the only country on earth it seems where there are no opposing voices to Zelensky's.

Where are the politicians who point to Zelensky and say his decision to reject the peace deal of 2022 has been a disastrous choice??

A new report says Iran is preparing to export Fath-360 and Ababil close-range ballistic missiles (CRBMs) to Russia and has started training Russian personnel to use the former."

  8914. Death toll keeps rising because most of the victims died of smoke inhalation; not gunfire; they knew using bullets means most will hide after the first shots making it difficult to reach such a high toll. Also, Friday night in Moscow is like Friday night in NY or Atlanta; traffic is choked. So, the terrorists picked the right time and the right tactic for maximum carnage. Yet, they left in the same car they came in, and didn't split up after to make their escape. Hmmm....terrorists that are both experts and stupid?? They were following the plan of someone else; Islamic State my azz...

  8920. This guy is a US General; he is the most biased voice you could possibly speak to about this war. He (and others like him) WANTS Ukraine to join NATO so they can put Aegis Ashore missiles, currently in Poland and Romania, into Ukraine. 400 miles closer to Moscow than they ever could get them before. This gives Russia no time to react to a NATO first strike and essentially would turn Russia into the servile dog of the US/UK. A similar attempt was made in recent history. It was called the Cuban Missile Crisis and in the very same way, missiles in Cuba would have given the US almost no time to react to a Soviet first strike and President Kennedy was dam right to tell Khrushchev it meant war if he didn't remove them, which Russia did and we are all alive today. Putin also told Biden it means war to have those missiles in Ukraine---several times---however instead of allowing Ukraine to be neutral, he (and Milley) doubled down: we are going to put Ukraine into NATO (and shove those missiles down your throats no matter what). That is the NATO position.

  8921. The West can't bring themselves to say it yet, but you can read between the lines. No more "making progress" , no more "slow but steady gains", no more talk of Sea of Azov, Kerch Bridge, "cutting off Crimea". ALL words and phrases of Western ideas of "victory" now absent from the news media for almost a month. Replaced by "long war" and "survive the winter"... Just say it: Russia has won.

  8926. All is fair in love and war, but the only way this "sneak attack" takes place is NATO changed their donated weapons ROE policy so that AFU would have an advantage. Strykers and Humvees on the border is a concern but not an invasion threat since for 2+ years they could not enter Russia proper. NATO pulled the "switcheroo" allowing Ukraine to catch Russia of guard (this is now the second time; the first time was in Istanbul in 2022). Pearl Harbor was a tactical military success, but there was no glory in it; none here for AFU as well...."

  8927. LOL. What Russia "may do while Ukraine waits for aid to arrive". Some of it can be sent immediately, but some of it doesn't even exist yet. It has to be produced then sent to Ukraine. By then only Spetznaz will be in the cities to receive it....

  8928. Compared to which other country?? Are you joking? Here's the rank: 1. Japan. No other vehicles will run as long and interiors remain intact for the amount of maintenance required. 2. American. Buttons will fall off, plastic will crack but with regular trips to Autozone and a shade tree mechanic, you can keep American cars on the road almost as long as Japanese ones for a reasonable cost. 3. German. Only if you are willing to pay for the car twice can you keep a Benz/BMW/Audi on the road for 12 years. 4. Korean. Greatest variation in outcomes; some will go 200K miles, others will need an engine replacement twice before 100K miles. Reflects the fact that Korea has only been able to build reliable combustion engines for about 20 years. That's all you need to know.

  8932. The Ukrainian northern defense line near Kupiansk collapsed yesterday, by now you've heard that Kupiansk and dozens of smaller towns in the area under mandatory evacuation order. It isn't just to limit civilian casualties; it is also because Ukraine does not trust its citizens so close to the Russian border. If they are all gone, none of them can spy for the tsunami of men and steel that are now bearing down on the entire Front. 100,000+ Russians and over 900 tanks, massing there for almost a month (and don't even cry about 'lies"; UK and Ukraine have both estimated that 100K number). Today, Karkhiv is now under evacuation order as well, as there is no guarantee the brigades Ukraine is rushing to the area can stop the steamroller at Kupiansk. Oh yeah, today Russia totally smashed the Ukrainian salient north of Bakhmut; inflicting hundreds of casualties while destroying many armored vehicles. Su-34s now range across both Fronts with FAB-500 GLONASS-guided bombs, as Ukraine's AA capability, worn down by months of drone attacks, is now incapable of stopping them. Cry all you want. Tomorrow you'll wake up and realize its all true. Just as at Kursk in 1943, once the Russian steamroller starts, nothing can stop it.

  8938. Japan isn't even in NATO, so can hardly argue that it is directly impacted. Russia and Japan have a LOT of old scores to settle themselves...most of it goes back to a time long before Russia and US became bitter enemies. US started this proxy war to pay Russia back for things that happened 5,10, maybe 15 years ago at the most. If Japan jumps in, they'll be bringing up ghosts from 80 years ago, and Russia ghosts from 100+ years ago. I doubt Russia and Japan can maintain this "agreement not to attack each other" that somehow Russia and US have maintained the past two years. With no NATO or EU "protection", Russia will have no hesitancy to Kinzhal or Iskander Japan.

We know they will not approach the battlefront as they are not stealth and will be easy meat for S-300. So F-16s will just be additional launchers for JDAM or Storm Shadow, which we already know Russia just jams the signals of JDAM and shoots down half the Storm Shadows. So WE KNOW THE F-16 WILL CHANGE NOTHING. What comes next?

  8960. The EU news sites are going apoplectic today over this. They are freaking out like children whose candy was suddenly taken away. 110 years ago, at least FOUR European Armies were so large, well trained and well equipped, they would have mopped the floor with the US Army. Germany alone had a navy that could have slapped the US Navy aside like a bear pawing a salmon, and the Royal Navy so large and powerful, it could have detached a single squadron to subdue the US Navy. Europeans have suckled so long at the US, they've forgotten they are adults.....

  8961. Nobody wants to burn the world over Ukraine, but NATO can't just take the "L" and Putin can't either. This will go on until Ukraine is burying 5000 women every month and then NATO will say "enough" and go in. Only to prevent Russia taking more, not to push out 700,000 Russian troops from lands where the people just voted 90% for Putin. That's it. Ukraine shrinks by 20% and both sides glare at each other behind 10,000 tanks for the next generation.

NATO actions there past decade are just as duplicitous and self-serving as anything Russia has done; there is no moral high ground for the West. Yet Biden and the puppet-masters holding his strings push us all to the brink of annihilation to get their prize. In this crazy story, Trump is the moral one.

Lyptsi is gone too; only one AFU brigade left there with orders to just slow the Russians until they can't anymore. AFU planning to make their stand for Kharkiv inside Kharkiv much like they did two years ago. Problem is back in 2022 Russia wasn't producing 300,000 drones per month and didn't have a 10 to 1 artillery advantage. By the time RU sends their assault troops into Kharkiv, it will look like Gaza City.

  8974. Wagner does not restrict itself to Russians; it is a private company after all. Nepali Gurkhas have reportedly joined Wagner and I doubt they'd object if a Brit or American wanted to sign up; Russia is at war with Ukraine and the Biden Administration, not the People of the United States.

It isn't just the accent, British people use FAR more "proper" English words in their everyday lives than Americans do. Most Americans only have a limited vocabulary and even the ones that have an extended one usually forget most of it when they are angry and go right to slang. For this reason I often find it so entertaining listening to a Brit go off, I don't even pay attention to why they are mad. Had a girlfriend from London a decade ago and when she'd get angry with me I'd smile and laugh because being cursed out by her was very entertaining. How seriously can you take it when a woman tells you she's "absolutely livid with you!!" ?? That didn't last... :-)

  8989. China is not a "threat" to the United States at all; at least in the mortal sense. Maybe a threat to our economic dominance but not to our lives.

This is now the second time in my life, our government is the clear aggressor; the first time was Iraq 2003.

  8995. Meanwhile....great vid today of a Ukrainian CAESAR artillery gun provided by France being destroyed by Lancet drones. What was amazing was the CAESAR was on a highway moving at high speed after firing at Russian positions in an attempt to ensure no counterbattery fire would hit it. A Lancet loitering drone spotted it and dove on it, but the driver saw it and evaded at the last second. Like a semi trying avoid a pothole at 60mph, the vehicle slewed sideways off the highway and flipped and rolled, while the Lancet exploded harmlessly on the road behind it. Two Ukrainians got out of the vehicle and were standing by it when another Lancet shows up and dives on the wrecked truck. A soldier can be clearly seen grabbing his rifle to shoot at the drone but Lancet's dive at 220 mph so that's like a man trying to hit a WW2 plane (the size of a lawn chair) with a rifle. The Lancet hit the CAESAR and it burned completely to ashes. A $6M donation by France burned by two $20K drones. The same fate for all NATO equipment given to Ukraine.

  8996. Why would Ukrainian generals(!) and military officers with their NATO counterparts GATHER IN CIVILIAN AREAS IN A WAR ZONE?? I can't think of anything more stupid in war. No wonder all our NATO weapons are being destroyed in futile attacks or utterly dumb ways like running over mines. Ukraine is a country of low IQ meat heads.

Savvy watchers have noticed diesel fuel is experiencing shortages in the Russian local market; what other explanation could there be for a country swimming in oil to have diesel shortages but that the Army is stockpiling it? North Korea will supply millions of shells. Fuel. Ammo. Secured. When it comes, and unless Biden capitulates, it will. It will look like something from white and black WW2 films....

  9012. Never believe anything about Russia in Western Press; they have ZERO direct knowledge and just use "estimates". Regardless, the money spent is all internal, which is why Russian unemployment is the lowest in 20 years and their MIC and Energy sectors are booming. "Home cookin'" is always the best. 😂

  9013. He was interviewed in Ukraine a few days ago, and his words give it away. He said "...strengthen Ukraine....so by December Russia will have to negotiate a "fair and just" peace...." What in the name of God can change Ukraine's fortunes in just three months??? IMMEDIATE NATO MEMBERSHIP Then he will invoke Article 5 and 32 countries will have to help him push Russia out of all of the land they now occupy. That's the "plan"....

  9017. Hmmm, he had "complications" on January 1st" Wasn't January 1st also the day the Russians bombed Ukraine with almost 200 missiles and drones? Russia always targets what they call "NATO command centers and bunkers"; was Austin secretly in Ukraine and was wounded by an Iskander and that is why all this "cloak and dagger" over a "urinary tract infection"?? Something don't pass the smell test...

It is rare, but every time we get ice in Dallas people die because of it. You can drive on snow, but you cannot drive on ice. I don't care if you have 8 wheel drive. I've gotten immobilized (not stuck) on ice in Walgreens parking lot in Dallas. No traction is NO traction. A lot of these folks were only doing 30 or 40 mph thinking they were being careful. BS. Once you hit ice, you are sliding at 40 mph with zero control. They should have shut I35 down until the sun came up.

  9041. Biden can barely keep his mind on track for 30 seconds these days; I cannot believe he is orchestrating this proxy war with Russia and these games of brinkmanship. He's never been that kind of politician even for decades when he was young and of sound mind. I don't see Austin as that kind of person either; he's a peacetime career officer with zero combat experience. Now Milley, he is a different breed. He has extensive combat experience in Iraq and multiple tours in Afghanistan. He knows war so I find it very difficult to believe he is not perfectly aware of all the limitations on Ukraine's ability to defeat Russia in spite of his public statements to "keep the faith" on Biden's narrative. Who in the Democrat Party is pulling the strings, pushing us every day little by little to war with Russia? We better figure it out before its too late...

  9042. Was that a dead MRAP I just saw? Americans believe steel made in US is somehow "magically" different from steel made anywhere else; you should hear how some in our media talk about the Abrams as if it is an AT-AT Walker from Star Wars. US media would not have shown a destroyed American vehicle; not good for us to see reality. If you cannot give your troops time away from the front that means you have a serious manpower problem and are probably going to lose.

  9043. As a longtime military historian, one of the things I most respect about RU is how they keep so many old weapons, for decades even, long beyond when you'd think they would be useful, and here they are in 2024 still punishing their opponents. NATO by contrast, so vastly wealthy for so long, throws away virtually anything over 30 years old. Earlier this year at Avdiivka, RU took anti-submarine rocket launchers from the 1960s off old warships, welded them to a T-55 chassis, and instant mobile artillery. Designed to sink subs, the rockets were huge but inaccurate since they were meant to be fired in a pattern in the open ocean. Didn't matter since area effect what exactly what was needed at Avdiivka. Now, at Kursk, since AFU is using mostly speed/mobility tactics with wheeled armored vehicles, RU has used the MT-12 Rapira 100mm gun from the late 1960s; originally an anti-tank weapon, it is no threat to Abrams/Leopard2 , but against these Strykers and Senators, it is a crushing smoothbore sniper. At crossroads or just outside town in a low ditch with trees all around and covered in leaves, it is invisible until it fires, and 100mm is way enough to one-shot any APC or armored car. Just makes an old history nerd proud....."

  9044. Trickle Down has merit it just needs to be significantly expanded, not thrown out for Socialism. For example, I made Director in 2012 for first time and suddenly I got warrants and stock options for the first time in addition to an annual bonus. Even the lowest staff got bonuses at 5/10/20 percent of salary but only when you became mgmt did the options and stuff kick in. Why? Why shouldn't an entry level person also get stock options??? The "trickle" needs to be a "flow" and it needs to be wider in its application

  9045. Agree that NATO will always outproduce Russia by a factor of 10. However, that means Ukraine will have to man their NATO tanks with their 13 year girls to win as all their men will be long dead before all of Russia's men are.

  9046. Because the new generation comes along and doesn't know shit. Look at America, try asking a Zer about anything historc. Not just here either. A guy walked the street in Japan and asked young people " when did WW2 end?" He got "1920" , "1963", like one girl said "1945". He then asked "what was the war about?" She said "oh I don't know that."

  9047. EU finding it very, very difficult to break their own laws just to try to "punish" another country for political differences. They know full well, all eyes are on them and if they break their own laws to punish Russia; they'll break them to punish any other country anytime they want (even other EU countries if necessary).

  9048. There are no "Ukrainian" farmers; all the farmland was long ago leased to Monsanto, ADM, Cargill, and Nestle and may other Wester Big Ag corps. That is the real reason the EU/NATO could not just accept the annexation of Donetsk and Zaporizhzhia (as well as Crimea). Not only would they lose a huge chunk of their investments, the ones that were left would be forever at risk as Russia would continue to own the Black Sea. Once Ukraine became "western" in 2014, all its resources were gobbled up by the Western corps that rule us all.

  9050. Big OpEd in the Daily Telegraph today arguing to attack Iran before "its too late". Xi already announced months ago China is preparing for war. Now, we are entering the "to hell with it" phase of this war where Ukraine no longer even bothers to hide the fact it is blowing up civilians on a "dual use" target (was there even a soldier or tank within a mile of the bridge when they bombed it?). There will be no peace in our time; the 21st Century is going to be bloodier than the 20th. Lavrov was right: the Anglo-Saxon nations are girding to put half the planet under the heel of their boots; starting (as always) with the Slavs.

  9052. CNN is probably the worst source of "news" on the Internet. This was discussed many times on many sites 9 months ago. Putin likes to play his "inner circle" against each other to maximize their effectiveness. Competition breeds excellence: and this is one of the lessons Putin learned decades ago in the KGB. Prigozhin, Kadryov, Shoigu all of them have a belly laugh when they wake up in the morning and read CNN or BBC.

  9053. Just read that Ukraine has launched Storm Shadow via Su-24 FLYING FROM A NATO COUNTRY!! That is a MAJOR escalation and if true means Russia will Kinzhal the base it came from as Putin has promised. Don't know what country yet...but I'd put $1000 it is Poland. Biden and NATO don't want to lose!!

  9054. I'd like to know why a Harris voter, who is fully aware the Democrats want to put US troops into Ukraine (if it can get the political power in Congress and the House to do it), would vote for such a party? There are no "winners" in such a war; the concept of MAD is 80 years old and well accepted as fact. Why would a person vote for such a thing?
    1
  9055. Putin is still very good at one thing: sending messages. The attack on the Kyiv airport was a message: "yeah, send those F-16s over and they won't be safe on the ground anywhere inside Ukraines' borders".

  9056. As if CNN would know different. What matters is they turned over all their tanks, APCs, artillery, tons of ammo and 20K AK's to the Army as required. Who knows the status of a "corporation" in Russia or that of its "employees"; the point is that as military-grade assault unit; they no longer exist.

Let's face it: 99% of buyers are not audiophiles and when people turn up modern music they want hear it "boom". That stuff with the poor fitting parts, flimsy plastic, etc. is EXACTLY why, no matter how much I like the new Grand Wagoneer interior over the Escalade, I am waiting. Too many stories about carbon fiber trim falling off two year old SRT's, too many decades that Jeep has never been the quality brand. Those are the little things that BMW gets right and is why even a base X5 will feel 10x better inside than this. It looks great, but it is still a Jeep.

My sons are 19 and 13 and its been a struggle to de-program the BS they are infected with at school and on Social Media. At one point a few years ago, my eldest began to feel "guilty" about his mother cooking him meals (as she has done his entire life). She tells him "I cook for you because I love you, not because I have to"; it didn't matter. The BS he was fed at school took root and he could no longer even say "Mom, can you make me a sandwich please?" Thank God the 13 year old hasn't shown that yet; if he does we destroy such ideas immediately before it spreads.

  9083. The reasons are twofold: 1. These weapons are very, very expensive and they are not "old stock from Desert Storm" that lay rusting in a storage shed, depreciated long ago. Every Storm Shadow UK gives Ukraine is fresh off the production line at $2M each. What if UK suddenly needs them? (Very likely soon). Same is true for SCALP, and even the brand new JASSM that I hear Biden is considering. That missile is so new, even the US Air Force don't have them just sitting around. 2. The most likely targets are bristling with AA weaponry of every kind. S-300/400/Pantsir/Buk/Tor-M1, Russia has every altitude and type of enemy aircraft covered around any high value targets. They build their own AA systems , not beg, so they have however many they need. Even late last year Ukraine had to fire 10 Storm Shadows to get 1 or 2 hits in Crimea; if anything it is even harder now. Ergo. Expensive. Risky. Most targets too well defended to really make a difference. With a desperate psycho like Budanov, he may just decide to fire them at something with little defense like a skyscraper in St. Petersburg. Then RU will have no limit to what their response can be. Hard truths cut both ways...."

  9085. Can't sell stuff you need to win. When the war is over, all their sales will come back. They'll actually increase their sales. The BMP3, BMP-T "Terminator", T-90M, Lancet and Orlan drones, their electronic warfare stuff that jams HIMARS and JDAM. Russia has a ton of battle-tested stuff they won't even have to market to sell. Their hypersonic missiles and S-300 are lusted after by even NATO countries. Just need to win the war first...

  9088. Zelensky asked NATO to train their 150K conscripts in Ukraine to "speed things up" (really, so they don't run away if they get sent to Poland or Germany). I heard Biden already said "no"; because the logistics to train 150K soldiers can't be hidden. Russia would be dropping Iskanders on bases, supply depots, rail yards, anything and everything and they wouldn't care whose army it was from. US would absolutely start taking casualties and there would be no way to hide it. Biden also suggested to all NATO countries not to do so either. That is why Zelensky sounds so frustrated today
    1
  9089. This is most asuredly a turning point in the war; Russia gains its first open ally (only 29 more to go to catch up to Ukraine). While Ukraine seems to have gotten ATACMS to strike Crimea (or Storm Shadow depending on who you ask). That is NATO openly giving Ukraine the means and intel to attack Crimea proper. Wars always get more brutal the longer they go on so we are now in another echelon of "new normal".

These are not even mosquito bites to the Russian people; you at least notice when a mosquito bites you. Not a single living Westerner has the capacity to make a Russian citizen "hurt". Exactly 80 years ago at Leningrad, 725,000 Germans tried to "hurt" Russian people. At one point, Russia had to post soldiers at the cemeteries to stop the living digging up the freshly slain-----to EAT them. All the dogs, cats, horses, and rats in the city had already long been consumed. The Western mind cannot comprehend it so just waves it away when told this story: a Russian would rather eat a dead body than surrender. By comparison, France surrendered so their beautiful city would not have a single brick knocked down. THAT is the difference between the West and Russia. THAT is why Russia will NEVER lose this war.

This weeks video of Ukraine's feeble drone attacks on Moscow, and the way Russian civilians just treated it like "look, cool!" confirmed what suspected for months. Last week on Navy Day Putin sailing around like he hasn't a care in the world. This war probably occupies about 10% of Putin's time, maybe 15% tops.

No one is saying IDF is losing, but the bloggers draw a picture that seems that Hamas is putting up far more resistance than you ever would know from BBC or CNN.

Oh, and because of our DEM policy of war over diplomacy, half the world just gave us the middle finger last week and joined together to build a new economic empire that expressly excludes us. Thanks DEMs. By 2059 historians will look upon the Biden Administration as the greatest failure of American policy since Vietnam.

  9119. Why not? No one believes Russia will do anything to anyone other than Urkaine so what is the risk?
    1
  9120. The United States is staggering under a crushing wave of gangsters, thuggery, drug abuse and general lawlessness, because DEMOCRAT Party leadership at the Federal and State levels do not want to crack down too hard on three main demographics: Spanish-speaking immigrants, poor African-Americans, and poor Whites.

  9121. Can't rule out rogue AFU elements doing this on purpose. All is not happy in Kyiv; Zelensky and Budanov vs. Zaluzhny is becoming more bitter every day. Those Azov officers are aligned with Zelensky
    1
  9122. Russia commissioned TWO new nuclear attack submarines into the Pacific Fleet yesterday; $5B of brand new state of the art weaponry, they hardly even need to deal with the likes of AFU. While Ukraine begs for scraps from the West table just to survive the winter. Who in the Biden administration thought this was a good idea???
    1
  9123. The West rejected the latest offer of peace by Putin. At least it is no longer open to debate who is in charge of Ukraine. Just like Senator Lindsey Graham said two days ago: "...I don't want those critical minerals in Ukraine to go to Russia or China..."

  9124. What is supposedly so "advanced" ? Not the engine, not the gun, optics and stabilizer is tech long ago mastered, the armor penetrated by modern weapons like any other tank. What "alien" tech inside is left??

  9125. Imagine if Russia's policy was to split American society away from supporting Biden.......wait, that's already taken place on its own....
    1
  9126. "Immediately start peace talks if elected" Yeah, because Russia has 90% of the territory it annexed and can probably get the rest at the negotiating table. Just because he is an alternative to Putin, doesn't mean he is not a Russian Patriot.
    1
  9127. No, Biden trying to stop taking phone calls from Zelensky as he is the one trying to get US to fight RU for him.... Hahahah....

  9134. Biden and Austin made Ukraine go two months ago, believing Russian lines would break and run. There was no evidence this would happen, just two men lying to themselves so often they believed the lie.

  9135. I know it isn't worth $100K more than a Corvette, but it IS absolutely 10x better looking than a Corvette. If Honda had only gone with the V6 only and left out all that hybrid stuff and priced it around $125K.....if only....

  9136. ...and NATO just happens to be out of Death Stars at the moment.

  9137. From former US F-16 pilot: "..F-16 can allow Ukraine to protect a local airspace better like over Kyiv. However if they send them to the fromt theyll get dropped just like the Mig-29s did..."

  9141. Very. Amanpour treats Le Pen like a criminal from the very start. Nasty.
    1
  9142. LMAO. Now the Western Media pays attention to Lukashenko. In March he directly asked Biden to come to Minsk and he would bring Putin and all three of them would end the war. Of course Biden blew him off because at that time he believed NATO's "wunderwaffe" would crush Russia. Well, after a month of failure the world has seen the mighty Leopard 2 burn at the hands of a $20K lancet drone, and the Bradley Fighting Vehicle immortalized in ignominy for all military history in a field now called "Bradley Square". NOW, the West listens to Lukashenko. 🙂

  9143. I don't believe NATO will fight a nuclear war over Ukraine. They are bluffing as the West has far more to lose than Russia does. Keep going Russia
    1
  9144. You mean the United States and/or UK is behind it. Ukraine does nothing without the assistance and blessing of its masters; it is a good attack dog...an obedient pup.

  9145. Just as American blogger Scott Ritter said------six months ago....

  9146. Turkey is asking for UN authorization to put up a no-fly zone over Lebanon. That is a great idea because US wont stop Israel, and Israel can't stop itself....

  9147. What a choice. Corrupt or a Traitor.
    1
  9148. LOL. A day after Zelensky said it wouldn't. 🙂 He's learning from Prigozhin. Let's get it on; this thing needs to end one way or the other before the nukes start flying. I hope Russia wins because without NATO trying to expand into Ukraine (so they could put missiles like "Aegis Ashore" currently in Poland, into Ukraine---400 miles closer to Russia), this war never happens at all.
    1
  9149. When we survived the 80s I really felt I'd never see global thermonuclear annihilation. Looks like I was wrong. Wasn't there a RAND study a few years ago that inspired some Western leaders to believe a nuke was was "winnable"?

  9150. You know what they say about country boys...

  9152. "...the Son of Anarchy...." 🤣🤣🤣
    1
  9153. No amount of spin or psy ops by Ukraine can hide it. Russia has defeated Ukraine in Bakhmut and NATO has lost control of the narrative because everything they've said over the past six months has turned out to be a lie. Now, we in US are hearing that Biden is demanding Zelensky start the offensive now---no more waiting, no more hand-wringing, no more hoping for better odds at some future date. Use the $50B in weapons we've given you and attack them now.
    1
  9154. Wasn't cruel to bomb Russian family coming home from the beach on Kerch bridge? CNN water-carrying propaganda for the Zelensky Government. I don't know who CNN shills for more; Biden or Zelensky. I'm getting to the point I want Putin to use a nuclear weapon to just end all this in one day.
    1
  9155. So that's all the French have been waiting for? The NK's to jump in???? Ahahahahahah
    1
  9156. Russian proof of their attacks has improved greatly in the past two years. Its so good now, with pixel perfect clarity, showing the Ukrainian unit both before and after (many time catching the unit actually firing), that Ukraine/NATO/CNN dont even bother to argue otherwise anymore...."
    1
  9157. such as?
    1
  9158. Isolationism in the USA is a real force. It is nascent now; most ridicule it. However the trendline is clear. Just look at the news; the US literally has its "hand" in at least three active wars, and fourth could pop off at any moments. We do foreign policy like we do internal policy----we settle every dispute with firepower----and generation after generation of politicians can't help themselves because they look and see a literal mountain of US weaponry sitting unused.
    1
  9159. The 31,000 number is pure propaganda designed to make us think investing in Ukraine is still a good idea. Somehow, Ukraine killed 500,000 Russian soldiers and only lost 31,000 of their own, but they could only have done that with the "magical" US weaponry. Therefore, they are a "good investment". I see it now...
    1
  9160. This is just like 1985; when every EU capital was a target. Why everyone freaking out?? That's what NATO wanted, right? A return to the Cold War??"
    1
  9161. This stupid unnecessary war probably won't "end" this year, but it will be decided in the next few months. Russia is making offensive movement in at least three directions now including Bakhmut where the recently arrived Chechens have gone on the offensive today. The only way to stop Biden and NATO is to make it so obvious that sending weapons is a waste of time, they'll stop and talk. That is the way to "beat" NATO----by making it clear that every weapon will be either captured or destroyed upon delivery.
    1
  9162. It is a crime beyond all others that US/UK have goaded Slavs into killing each other in such vast numbers

  9163. I have a 2004 Camry LE V6 with only 91000 miles; not even the white lettering on the dash buttons is smudged. Gonna list it for $15K and see if anyone is desperate enough to pay that much...
    1
  9164. I always figured Putin just wants to win this little proxy peeing contest; and put everything back to where it was before 2014. However, the Xi Summit, the Kim Summit, the moves in the ME and Africa convince me Ukraine is but a small part in his plan. Putin really is planning to leave a legacy of building a new world where NATO is no longer the sole power on the earth. How? By giving everyone not in NATO the one thing that keeps the United States and the "regime changers" we seem to elect every few years OUT of their business: A nuclear weapon.
    1
  9165. I hope the rumors of an Armistice in July come true; this isht has to end now. The longer it goes on, the more instability it creates and something worse than what we have now could be the result. The Ukrainian offensive is a failure---even the US is unimpressed. The NATO summit is in two weeks and the West expected "significant gains" from this offensive to justify more weapons. With no air cover who could possibly think Ukraine can make a significant gain in two weeks? They won't even use their remaining Leopards or the Challengers as they are terrified of losing them.
    1
  9166. The fact is they lost a pilot (and plane). Why you crying?
    1
  9167. Yes it will! RU will now take off all the restrictions they've had for 2 years, now that NATO took off theirs...."

  9168. Looks like I was right, again. I swear if you go back two years I am like over 80% right on everything that has happened in this war. Dam I'm good!

  9170. Years from now, when CNN/BBC/DW/FRANCE24 are asked "how could you have reported things so wrongly during the war? We're you unaware of reality or did you previously agree with the leadership of your country to report only what you were told to report?"
    1
  9171. Great! They'll only have to survive Russia's ten to one advantage in aircraft, Orlan and kamikaze drones, massive artillery advantage, 200 T-90Ms and 400 T-80BVs, BMP-T Terminators, Kornet and Konkors ATGMs and if they survive all of that, they'll have to face the mighty T-54!
    1
  9172. ICBM tech is why Kim is meeting Putin in person. Serious stuff.
    1
  9173. The war is almost over; Russia on a rampage the past month. Even if he wins, by the time he gets in the war will be over. Not really an "anti-war" candidate if there's no war.
    1
  9174. So now Turkey is "anti semitic" according to Joe Biden and CNN. No one anywhere is allowed to disagree with Israel
    1
  9175. NATO is getting its ass kicked. Russia was never weak like CNN told you. This is 100% Biden attempt to-----I don't even know what that old man thought he was doing starting a war with Russia over a country that is more like Alaska is to us. Stupid.
    1
  9176. Where do people get all this mindless drivel? Russia's economy is going to GROW this year while Germany's shrinks. Intelligence confirmed by US/UK months ago said Russia planned for a 30 month war and had all the resources it needed to go that long if needed.
    1
  9177. Vivek will end the war. I will vote for him.
    1
  9178. Don't let that stop CNN from goading Biden into attacking Iran. CNN is now neo-Con News Network....
    1
  9179. CNN is the mouthpiece of his enemy. The enemy whose weapons helped litter the ground with the corpses of his freshly slain countrymen----their "blood still fresh"---a few weeks ago. I said it over a year ago: Biden has no idea what he is getting the US into as most Americans who know Russia are dead or in a nursing home. In 1914, Russia took 300,000 casualties in just two months, and still they rejected every attempt by Germany to negotiate a cease-fire (Russia lost the battle, but hung 200,000 casualties on Germany---something the Germans knew they could not long endure). Russia will NEVER be beaten into submission solely because their enemy has killed X number of them. Their belief is: "if you are killing them, they are also killing you". That is the "respect" Prigozhin is referring to and Russia is about to teach a new generation an old lesson.

  9180. What is this now, the 8th or 9th Russian Army adaptation the West laughed at then adopted itself after observing how effective it was?? New Western tanks now coming with cope cages installed from the factory

  9181. Russia just put 65 missiles and bombs into that airbase. They are going to end the storm shadow problem this week

  9182. Two days ago geolocated video on the net of Wagner Forces raising their flag from the highest standing structure in Artemovsk like the US Marines did at Iwo Jima. Yet here is Western media like "what's really going on??" Who here will believe anything SKY/CNN/BBC say in the future after this?
    1
  9183. Stoltenberg in an interview yesterday laid out the truth. He said: "NATO tried to negotiate before the war"; and acknowledged Brussels AND Washington got the Russian draft security framework in December, 2021 before the invasion. He said it was full of unacceptable terms; Russia basically wanted a guarantee of no NATO enlargement ever and "buffer zones" all along NATO's eastern border. Stoltenberg then throws up his hands and says that was "not possible". However he is lying when he says they "tried to negotiate". What kind of "negotiation" is when you see the other side's first terms you just get up and walk away? Of course their first draft of terms is "SUN, MOON, and STARS"; you laugh and come back a few days later with something more realistic, they laugh and come back a few weeks later with something more realistic, etc. etc. until you have something you BOTH can live with. NATO didn't "negotiate" anything; they read the document and walked away to prepare for war. This IS, and ALWAYS HAS BEEN, a war between NATO and the Russian Federation. Ukraine is just where they meet to settle it.

  9187. That driver is the luckiest man on earth! Wow! You can see the missile was rotating as it flew.... Amazing footage----but. What did it hit? Just made a hole in the ground or was there a target there?

  9188. If the source is American, how can it be "treason"? America is not at war with anyone, right?
    1
  9189. News in India reporting this evening Biden is planning to give Zelensky the best cruise missile the US has; the JASSM-ER. A $4M each technological tour-de-force that is the last "game-changer" in the US arsenal. If this doesn't win the war, Zelensky will then ask for ballistic missiles, and then of course we all no longer get to argue about it.
    1
  9190. That trophy will go to CNN.
    1
  9191. There is nothing to say. The truth is easy to find of the involvement of both the US and Russia being self-serving in Ukraine. Stop the dying as it won't change anything at this point.
    1
  9192. I don't blame Putin at all. ICC is an arm of NATO and NATO is in open war with Russia. If the enemy threatens your leader, it makes sense to threaten them back, no?

  9193. Sky news said it started weeks ago. Who knows..... Won't matter, 300K Russian reservists been training since September to destroy it...

  9195. I've never off-roaded in my life and probably never will. However IF I ever had a chance to go to Namibia or Tanzania or Morocco I'd love to have something like this. I assume that is the AJ series V6 used in this one? That plus the ZF transmission is bulletproof; the AJ series V8s/V6s run forever with little maintenance and the ZF is---well ZF! However for me, the four cylinder is fine---300 hp / 300 tq---who needs more than that?? Rugged, no poseur "luxury", plastic and rubber that is easy to clean, only the tech necessary to do the job, etc. However, I think I'd have to wrap it first; I'd wince every time that lovely paint job got scratched or dinged! I have two Jags; 2012 XK-R and 2011 XJ Supercharged. Almost a decade old and paint quality unmatched, leather not even bruised (my 2014 Stingray showed leather bruises within ONE year), and both AJ series V8 engines purr like kitties! If you can afford to maintain them correctly, JLR products last indefinitely; they don't cheap out on components. Great job as usual!
    1
  9196. How many US military you think casualty in this war so far?
    1
  9197. The only reason I can think of that the Russians don't used a deforestation agent like "Agent Orange" to just remove all the vegetation where AFU is hiding, is they don't want to poison their own land. Ukraine's entire defense tactic is based on using trees as cover; without the trees they'd be sitting ducks.
    1
  9198. Ukraine don't belong to NATO either, right?

  9199. Why would they? Wagner has stomped a big fat hole in NATO's arse on their behalf...

  9200. Hopefully UK citizens that voted for Tories accept the loss with dignity as is expected in a Democracy. Unlike France which is on the verge of Civil War by the Far Left who are angry Democracy didn't produce the desired result for them...
    1
  9201. No talk Russia, Ukraine has a hard outer shell only; behind the front they have nothing. Attack them now and you can take whole by force what you'll have to divide in any talks. Their AA is weak, you have 900 aircraft to their 50. Attack now!

  9203. So what "arms" are South Africa sending to Russia?? Is there evidence for the Biden Administration accusation, or just the usual US pooping on anything African?
    1
  9204. So?

  9205. Russians took Niu York yesterday, and today announce its new name is Novogorodskoye. Putin always pays his debts...."
    1
  9206. Oh, I cannot wait to see that "worthy response".... At the Kursk bulge, neither side has "critical mass" yet, and AFU had to rush to send men back to the Belarus border when Lukashenko moved tanks up yesterday (and shot down an AFU drone). Remember Russia is the largest country by landmass on the earth; if you wrapped Russia around a sphere, it would be bigger than Pluto. Napolensky's NATO legions have about 1.1% of it...."
    1
  9207. so by your logic Zelensky is 50 times weaker than Putin?
    1
  9208. NATO deserves what it is getting; they been the aggressor all through since 2014. I can't wait to vote Biden out, and hopefully other countries vote out Stoltenberg, Macron, Scholz and all the ones who did this...."

  9209. Man, when the war is over, Lowe's, Home Depot and Mexican construction workers are going to make enough to retire forever...

  9211. With what? Russia has 1500 combat aircraft, Ukraine 80.

  9212. Ask Biden. Just last week he turned down Russia's offer to talk...
    1
  9213. When Zelensky said yesterday "I need 25 Patriots or we lose", not much you can say. 25 Patriots costs more than $60B.

  9214. He has nukes now, when he didn't a year ago. Nukes inoculate a country from the infection of Western meddling.
    1
  9215. You have to go farther back past FDR to find a more incompetent President at Foreign Policy than Biden. I think only the Bush I Admin. was close to being as pathetic as the Biden Admin. but James Baker saved them. Biden has Antony Blinken; probably the worst Sec. of State in my lifetime, and Lloyd Austin, a comically inept robot of a stooge who is the definition of a peacetime officer finding himself in a shooting war for which he is totally unprepared for.
    1
  9216. That man was right; EU exists for peaceful economic purposes, not war. EU wasn't ready for war; its Europe----they are lovers not fighters. Too many wars the past 120 years; their people want no part of wars.
    1
  9217. Same thing here a few years ago when US tried to let all the illegals in and "manage" them in huge facilities near the border. Once you keep them, they are your responsibility to keep safe and healthy. Believe me they know this and will take any measure to force their host country to let them in for their "safety" or "health". US learned the hard way and then changed the policy to "wait outside the country while your asylum case is heard". If you do anything other than immediately put them on a train/plane/ship back to where they came from, you OWN WHAT HAPPENS TO THEM.

  9218. VW must really be serious about this EV World Domination thing; their EVs are more desirable than their ICE vehicles.
    1
  9219. I'm not surprised. Ukraine can't win with 60K NATO-trained troops vs. 200K Russian reservists. You know Biden and Sunak are discussing this at this very moment...
    1
  9220. Non-Western news media report a lot of "chatter" about some kind of Armistice soon, maybe in July. Biden should have talked 16 months ago. The drones and missiles shattering Ukraine have hardly ebbed the past four days; every few hundred meters of farmland Ukraine takes they pay for it in hundreds of casualties and the Kamov's decimate their vehicles whenever they dare to use them. Ukraine mobilized (again) last week, but unless they plan to resurrect their dead; I don't see how they could hope to crack the fortress Zaporizhzhia. This thing is spiraling into paths no one could have foreseen; this past weekend is just a reminder of the risk. When countries fall, they can become far more dangerous than they ever were before. Time to end it before the Holocaust really starts.
    1
  9221. W.H. is right now complaining about North Korean "ballistic missiles" being used in Ukraine. They wouldn't be complaining if those missiles didnt hit something very important. Bloggers said yesterday one strike wiped out 1000 AA missiles stored in a warehouse. I'm starting to believe it

  9222. No more strutting in here and walking away with $10B of our tax money (which Russia just destroys anyway). Time for ACCOUNTABILITY!

  9225. I bought a 1991 with 55K miles in 2003 for $29K. Drove it for three years, sold it with about 65K miles for $28K to a guy who drove up in a 1996 Lotus Esprit. He let me drive the Esprit while he took out the NSX! The Lotus made me feel like James Bond but it was a POS compared to the hand built Honda. He bought the NSX though... :-)

  9232. Some say a fake to make Ukraine send its forces thinking Russia was vulnerable; revealing its true target and strength? Who knows. However Belarus is now aware there is a NATO-backed threat to them in Ukraine; they revealed themselves today. Lukashenko must mobilize as war is upon him.

  9233. He knows a lot about history though; that bum is very, very smart...."

  9234. Wall Street Journal reported yesterday that Macron has assured Biden France won't need the US to intervene if (when) French troops are attacked in Ukraine. Who here believes that the rest of NATO will sit by and watch as the French are shredded in Ukraine?? NATO is preparing to continue on this course even if Trump wins so it looks like we are going to get WWIII no matter what we citizens do to stop it.
    1
  9235. This video on BBC, they blurred the red arm bands of the Russian soldiers out. I mean, why would they do that? We know they are Russians, what purpose does it serve to blur out their red band? Too harsh on soft Western eyes to see their hated foes victorious? Don't want their sheep to know that red bands are Donetsk People's Republic (DPR) soldiers (and that is the DPR battle flag)?? You know, THE LOCALS FIGHTING FOR THEIR OWN HOMES....

  9237. It has been well documented by bloggers like Alexander Mercouris that the US and UK have been going hard at Romania to be more active against Russia. The want them to shoot down Russian missiles that get close , be more aggressive in general. They have to be careful the don't become the next Ukraine because the US/UK do not care about them to any degree beyond their usefulness in countering Russia.

  9238. It won't be oil or nuc sites; so it will be "symbolic". However, Iran just signed a deal to build 48 Su-30S and 72 Su-35s domestically over the next few years. With S-400s, GPS jammers, Iskander, planes like those, and a few nucs; Iran will be immune to the US basically forever. They just have to survive a few more years....

Zelensky decison making: 2021 - "Nahh, the Russians aren't really coming; they just massed 50K on our border to scare us." 2022 - "Nahh, I won't take this negotiated settlement offer, UK promised me 1000 Challenger 2's, 10,000 Storm Shadows, and 250,000 155mm shells for free. I can take it all by force what Putin is offering to divide." 2023 - "Nahh, I'm sure only half of this $20B NATO army is needed to break through Zaporizhzhia, the other half can shore up outside Bakhmut. The Russian conscripts in the south will run when they see the first Leopard 2" Anyone else now realize who Ukraine's biggest problem really is?

  9240. Part of the reason the case was so easy to make is the huge disparity in combat power; it just lends itself to overuse. What I don't get is why Muslim nations don't give Palestinians all their old tanks, guns, and trucks so they can defend themselves. Just like NATO giving Ukraine all their old stuff so they don't get steamrolled. Ukraine can't win but they aren't just getting pancaked like Gazans.

  9241. If that was the goal, it failed. Pokrovsk (pop. 60,000) now being evacuated because RU steamroller only got faster last week, not slower...."

  9245. Obama refused to arm Ukraine in 2015 because he knew this would be the result. Biden didn't listen and here we are on the brink; heed Obama's words! Don't do it! We can't step back once we go into the Abyss!!"

  9247. .another news site has this same story and reports the Ukrainian soldiers warn the journalist not to get too close when they fire the NK ammo. They are old and "do crazy things sometimes". No wonder Ukraine "captured" them; Russia probably just left them on the field for Ukraine to "find". LOL!
    1
  9248. Once hope is lost, it becomes every man for himself. Once the "Grand Spring Offensive" failed, that was it. If $100B in NATO weaponry can't get you more than five miles beyond a Russian defense in ONE sector, pushing 300,000 Russian troops out is not even remotely feasible. Its pure fantasy; negotiate an armistice. When the collapse comes, every unused NATO weapon will disappear overnight.

  9249. 9 comments, only 3 visible. LOL.....Google can't allow YT to spread information that goes against US policy. 🙂

  9250. Everyone said Biden's support of Israel, by sending the US Navy into the Red Sea, puts all our soldiers in the area at risk. Of course, he did it anyway, making all our troops in the region targets overnight.
    1
  9251. National Interest yesterday said Biden withdrew the USS Abraham Lincoln carrier, but "sent additional B-52 bombers to go along with the F-22 Raptors, F-16s, A-10s, and F-15E Strike Eagles have already been deployed to undisclosed bases." That's not "defensive" for Israel; and I don't even ask how Biden can legally deploy such a force with zero Congressional Authorization... Every tired cliché from history about war is proven right (again, I guess that's why they are tired, because they always come true). My favorite: “War is sweet to those who have no experience of it. But the experienced man trembles exceedingly in his heart at its approach.” ― Pindar

  9252. The 50BN euro money is spread out over four years and part of it is just to pay salaries / pensions. The paltry armaments in that aid wouldn't even last a month at current rates. The $60BN US aid had significant arms and ammo, enough to stiffen AFU resistance for at least six more months, but that's it. Like pumps on the Titanic, all this aid just buys them time. Now that the US money is a phantom, AFU don't even have the "pumps" now...

  9253. Who gives a f who Trump f's???

  9254. Biden will either say "NO" completely or split the difference and agree to give US satellite target data to Ukraine to be used with UK Storm Shadow (which UK already agreed to use on Russian territory). This allows Ukraine to get some of what they want without Biden having to go to US Congress to get approval to start a war with Russia. Nobody trying to make big changes before the next negotiation summit in Novemeber and the US election the same month.
    1
  9255. I'm sure the earlier D-Day article on AFP about French women being raped by US soldiers didn't go over so well...
    1
  9256. Well, according to Russia's new doctrine signed yesterday, UK was already on the target list because they are in an alliance with the US. No real reason for UK not to enter the war; Biden already put them (and all of NATO ) into it.
    1
  9257. The revelation that there is a NATO-funded force in Ukraine that was waiting for the right moment to invade Belorussia is what stands out the most to me. Lukashenko now knows NATO was planning to come for him as soon as Russia was defeated. He must act as war is upon him; NATO may have unwittingly opened a new front in the war.

  9258. America is now awash in human trash. "The shrinking of the middle class has been accompanied by an increase in the share of adults in the upper-income tier – from 14% in 1971 to 21% in 2021 – as well as an increase in the share who are in the lower-income tier, from 25% to 29%. These changes have occurred gradually, as the share of adults in the middle class decreased in each decade from 1971 to 2011." Basically, there are more rich people AND more poor people. That is why it seems there is so much more crime than prior decades; 1/3rd of the population----OVER ONE-HUNDRED MILLION PEOPLE---are poorly educated, poorly raised, drug addicted, tattooed criminal trash.

  9259. LOL. 90 missiles of FOUR different types , and 70 Shaheeds to confuse and occupy the air defenses so the big boys get through. CNN has said for over a year Russia is running out of missiles.

  9260. Zelensky signed into law yesterday a bill allowing the conscription of up to 20,000 convicts. I'd love for BBC and CNN to revisit all the articles they wrote 18 months ago about Russia doing the same. 😂

  9262. Back in 2015, President Obama said he was against arming Ukraine to fight Russia because "...Russia has the ability to infinitely escalate..." Basically, no matter what the US gave Ukraine, Russia could always easily go one step further, resulting in Ukraine never really having an advantage and just being wiped out in the process. Right wing hawks excoriated Obama at the time for this choice (and still do), but he was 100% correct. Here we are and yet another "escalatory step" is taken because, as Obama said, so far Russia just leapfrogs whatever US gives Ukraine the capability to do. Obama was the highest IQ President we had since Nixon....
    1
  9263. Ok fine, but don't act like we don't do the exact same to them. Just six months ago, the entire Western Media apparatus interfered in Russia's election by elevating Nalvany to the level of a Holy Man, in a weeks-long wave of propaganda expressly designed to destroy Putin's re-election chances. All is fair in Love and War, right?

  9264. as soon as they apologize to Russia for blaming the market missile strike on them, that actually was a misfired Ukrainian missile.

  9271. Ok but can we just limit it to the Capital cities only. 99.999% of us dont care about Ukraine and Russias little family squabble; they could have settled it themselves.
    1
  9272. FACT: Biden ignored the "Draft Framework" Putin sent directly to him in September, 2021. Why not talk first? You can always choose war later, but Biden chose war first. FACT: Zelensky was surrounded and defeated and knew it so he negotiated in Istanbul. The deal was good for Ukraine but not for US and UK so they convinced Zelensky not to sign, lured Putin to pull his troops back as a show of good faith (to sign the deal), and then poured ammo into Ukraine to allow AFU to push RU back and continue the war. Two times war could have been avoided and in both cases Biden was the one making the decision at the top to continue
    1
  9273.  @lf3361  Does that mean he is wrong???
    1
  9274. LOL. Because everyone knows "NATO" power = US power. If a NATO member goes out on its own and does something the US don't support, the blowback will be on them only and UK don't want to have to fight Russia alone. ""
    1
  9275. 1. Joe Biden has to focus on winning re-election in 2024 and all indications are he will lose to Trump. 2. A Ukrainian MP today politely asked President Zelensky for his "Plan B" (since plan A is to mobilize another 500K and fight to the last Ukrainian). 3. NY Times article today: "Ukraine doesn't need all its territory to defeat Putin". Read between the lines: Ukraine IS NOT going to get more monster billions of dollars from the United States in 2024. The Republicans don't care, and the Democrats are signaling they are not going to fight to give Ukraine another $40B NATO army.
    1
  9276. I think the dominoes are going to fall soon. Reports say many citizens in Kupiansk are refusing the mandatory evacuation order. Americans don't understand this so let me explain it to you. These are border regions, where Russian/Ukrainian or Ukrainian/Russian hasn't meant much of anything for 1000 years. Ukraine doesn't 100% trust that civilians in the towns won't help the Russians once they arrive, so they have a "mandatory" evac order to limit this little inconvenience.
    1
  9277. That does look cool and it IS bigger than I thought; when you were standing next to it I was like "wow, that is way bigger than it appears to be". However, at $55K I personally would just spend the extra $10K on a Jaguar I Pace. That is now up to about 260 miles of range and is two planets apart from this in terms of true luxury appointments, interior comfort, materials, real leather, real alcantara, design, vastly nicer seats, and handles like a Jag. Worth the extra $100 to $125 per month on a lease by a mile.

  9280. In 2000 I got a 323Ci and my buddy (who just finished Med school) got an M3 about a year later. His car cost over $55K which was an astounding amount to me. Little did we know at the time we were buying "peak" BMW....at the time, the E46 was just a continuation of the E34, E36, E30, etc. BMWs we'd drooled over for years... Now 20 years later dudes who were 10 at the time are lusting after these things. We should have kept them.

  9281. I hope the Russians learn everything from it; the fallout will be on Biden.. Stupid Biden Administration got us into this war and keeps shoving more chips onto the table.

  9282. Another Patriot system near Zhytomyr wiped out today by three Kinzhal missiles. Launcher, radar, personnel, everything. An entire Patriot battery is $400M. Three Kinzhal hypersonic missiles are $6M. Even you can do that math...
    1
  9283. He has to be careful, Russia lodged a complaint that Ukraine used a Patriot to shoot the plane down INSIDE Russia, which is a violation. I don't blame him for keeping quiet; if they don't know the whole story yet...him running his mouth could make things much worse.
    1
  9284. The result will be Putin will increase his army and just take all of Ukraine… Only the entry of a NATO army could prevent this and half of NATO won’t join in doing that, Germany will not, UK far too weak, US politics will never allow it.
    1
  9285. Even if you hate the GOP you better pay attention over the next year. Biden just mobilized reservists to send to Europe. He only did 3000 so it wouldn't seem like a big deal; don't be fooled. Keep your eye on future mobilizations because Biden knows his election depends on the war in Ukraine. He will send in US troops before he allows Russia to win and occupy the rest of the country. Mark my words.

  9286. Back in 2019 I went to the break room to nuke my lunch (remember those days?), and there was a very attractive woman in there using one of the other machines for her lunch. I didn't even make eye contact. I put my tray in, and stared at those glowing numerals for every second of the 1m45s it took to nuke my lunch and I never wavered for fear of losing my $200K a year job. She could have turned into a bat and flown away six feet away from me and I would not have noticed...."

  9289. Putin is a bully. If the border looks weak, he will attack. If NATO puts 100 Abrams, 100 Leopard, 100 Challenger, and 100 LeClerc tanks into Ukraine, Putin will do absolutely nothing. He'll talk a lot though...
    1
  9290. LOL. That Russian lady in the Duma is 100% correct. Right now there are almost 500 Western airliners stranded in Russia the day of the invasion (mostly EU carriers and Airbus models), worth something like 100 BILLION dollars. There are so many inside Russia that even with no Western spare parts, they could just cannibalize and hundreds of them could be in service for decades. Add this to whatever other legal things Russia could do and they could take 10 times from EU what EU takes from them.

  9291. better odds in Vegas...

  9293. Laughable garbage...
    1
  9294. He flew all the way here for nothing. Both US parties are playing political games; don't let anyone tell you otherwise. The Dems want to force Zelensky to negotiate by drying up his funding, but they don't want to be blamed for it. The GOP wants to stop all the illegal immigration on the border forcing the Dems to choose between blocking the asylum seekers which have been their policy to let in for years and getting money for Ukraine, or allowing the immigration which is their policy and letting Ukraine wither on the vine. Immigration or Ukraine; that is the US Democrat Party choice. Zelensky saw the writing on the wall when the Democrats did not even want to talk about blocking immigration; he saw they made their choice and it wasn't him.

  9295. Iran is one of the worlds best at asymmetrical warfare. They are not ready to fight Israel directly until they finish their nukes and receive and train up on the Su-35s they are getting from Russia. Once they have that, Israel will bully them no more.

  9299. Who cares as long as they win, right? Russia has manpower superiority, artillery superiority, tank superiority (700 T-90s and T-80s in the South), air superiority, ammo superiority. The AFU probing attacks in the South over the past few days have all been repelled with ease by Russia-----there isn't a "weak point" as Russia has had a year to prepare and there is only one path to reach Ukraine's stated objective. If Ukraine penetrates anywhere I guarantee you that is because the Russian's are allowing it so they can draw them in, then encircle them and annihilate them.

  9303. They finally got the looks right on it with the Type S. Men with lots of disposable income buy cars like this and that means they have to look the part. The regular model was just too soft and rounded looking; a McLaren looked like it would take the NSX's lunch money. A GTR Nismo looks like it would put the NSX in its trunk. Not good. NOW they have the "edge" the car needed visually. This is a magnificent beast but I don't think it is worth 2x a new C8 Z06. I mean $90K to start for a Z06 that will blow the NSX out of the water by every objective and subjective measure?? The NSX was great but its time has come and gone.

According to a recent book by David Sanger, Biden even suggested to his aides that Zelenskyy might be deliberately trying to draw America into a third world war..." Financial Times - 8/26/24 FT is not some nutball outlet; they are the UK version of WSJ (and well over 100 years old), and they are old school journalists, not internet yahoos. If Biden is worried about Zelensky's motives--BIDEN; I certainly would be too!!"

  9310. He should. Being too "measured" in Ukraine is what created Prigozhin. Kyiv should be in ruins; 15 months of war and your enemies' cities still stand?? What are you doing? Playing around at war like the United States does (which always ends in defeat)?
    1
  9311. Notice how the Western media this week is (FINALLY) acknowledging Russia's strength? No more propaganda about "shovels" and "they have low morale" and "they are poorly led" and "they are all conscripts with poor equipment".....
    1
  9312. Iran should deescalate...for now. They just signed a deal to build 48 Su-30s and 72 Su-35s domestically. Not only the planes themselves but the experience to build them is invaluable. In just a few years they'll have the "big stick" and the ability to use it. No more bullying by anyone after that.... Play the long game

  9318. Just like the US has done for decades with its "shock and awe" on weakling countries. CNN shows the world the US preparing, writing insults on the JDAMs , etc. Now, the world has learned: the information war is just as important as the shooting war. Iran is showing its people, its proxies, and its enemies that it is no Afghanistan or Iraq. The US will have to look elsewhere for its "easily bullied regime change countries" .....

  9323.  @cadriver2570  Did you ever own a supercharged V8 before you bought your EV? The difference is 0.7 seconds; you can't tell the difference: both will leap off the line like a scalded cat and gas is $3.45 where I live. I like Rivian I hope they make it, but on this I'd get the TRX. In California where gas is taxed to $7 a gallon I probably would agree and go Rivian, but in States we are still free to choose, I'd go TRX.

  9333. I don't expect Ukraine MoD to tell the full truth; they are at war and that would be dumb. However, also dumb is leaving your forces in there two weeks after your lines broke in the north and south. You have limited offensive troops left , low ammo, and the muddy season started turning 40-ton tanks into paving bricks. Your only choice is retreat and save your forces. Yet, they don't do that. They stay until the last roads are cut, then say "no" to the surrender ultimatum last night and now.....what are 4000 AFU guys inside the city supposed to do? If you pulled them out weeks ago they can man a new defense a few kms east, but you left them in and now they are going to either Valhalla or a POW camp. Dumb. Very dumb.

  9335. Yeah the storm shadow is a problem, best way to stop it is kill all the bases and Su-24s. However Ukraine is now hiding the planes in Poland between missions so Russia would have to bomb Poland to destroy them.

  9336.  @equarg  The metering station is meaningless; the fuccing pipeline goes through Ukraine , they can cut it anywhere along that length if they want! Problem is Hungary and Slovakia provide 50% of Ukraine's electricity now since RU destroyed their energy sector. The cut the gas, Hungary turns off the lights. Next??"

  9337. So now that the MSM and Biden Administration all admit the "Grand Spring Offensive" has been a Grand Failure, this is the new strat? Economic war in the Black Sea? Economic strangulation has historically been an excellent----if time consuming----way of subduing your enemy. However, the SMALLER country trying this against the larger country is not an example I've seen tried in history before. Must have been the idea of that Titan of Military Strategy Mark Milley....

  9357. That will come after the war. The entire Western media establishment will have to answer for it

  9358. This is a West Media channel so the watchers are unused to seeing Russian troops in the victory position as all that is posted here is AFU videos (where of course they are the winner). A lot of very painful cope can be seen in the commentary.

  9361.  @Jake-rs9nq  The Russian-speaking people of Crimea and the annexed regions VOTED (three years ago) to join the Russian State. Many of the units fighting in Avdiivka are DPR---Dontetsk People's Republic. They are fighting to end Ukrainian shelling of THEIR OWN homes since 2014. Why do their choices mean nothing to you?
    1
  9362. Of course it must stop. The question is how? There is no one left in NATO who still believes some kind of "managed flow of weapons" can defeat a fully mobilized Russia. That fantasy went out the window in 2023. RU outproduces all of NATO in shells and if you add in NK, NATO won't catch up (if ever) until 2027. Ukraine has been in retreat now for six months and, in spite of the $60B in US aid approval, the pace of their retreats has only increased. RU rules the sky over Ukraine. All this with $200B+; all the aid has done is delay the inevitable. Stop.

  9363. I try to give this guy a chance; I really do. However, I can't get through the obvious secondary lies to allow him to reach his conclusion. The Russian troops in Kursk "poorly trained"?? There is an entire VDV Airborne DIVISION there in Kursk! The Akhmat Chechen Special Forces brigade is there too! This is all well known to everyone and not even in dispute. So when he says things like that I can't trust anything else that comes out of his mouth.

  9369. Biden realizing the alliance against Russia is fraying and he cannot guarantee it will hold long enough for Ukraine to make a positive impact? NATO has done more in this strike to "directly attack Russia" than the accidental drone parts in Romania were "directly attacking NATO". Has NATO stepped in to increase the effectiveness of these Crimea attacks to try to increase Ukraine's bargaining position since the Offensive has failed to do so?
    1
  9370. Why do I get the feeling that this attack is precisely what the Houthis (and Iran) wanted? They weren't backing down before, and they are doubly so now even after....almost as if the biggest, richest, baddest man on the block is walking right into an ambush.

  9375. How much failure can NATO and Ukraine endure? The offensive has completely failed; don't even speak of a town or hamlet "liberated", the goal of the offensive in May was to take Tokmak by July, and threaten (or take) Melitopol by August. Those were the stated goals and by that measure it is a total failure. Now, Biden hurries a few tank companies in to do what, exactly? Somehow magically overcome the combat zone that has crushed Leopard 2s and Challenger 2s the past four months, in a few weeks??

  9376. Just more targets for the Pantsir-S1 to shoot down...

  9388. CNN is a mouthpiece of liars in the service of liars. You could not find a more disreputable source of information.

  9389. CNN has a rogues gallery of people who don't know anything more than you or I speculating don't they? I mean, just based on what is a known fact, I see Putin as stronger than ever. He sided with the Army a week ago, and when the isht hit the fan, the Army stuck with him. Parliament just yesterday made it law in Russia that private military formations are under the jurisdiction of the Army; that matter is settled. Today Wagner gave up their heavy weapons to the State with no issue. Prigozhin is alive, but has no army now (and if you think Lukashenko will give him the long leash Putin did you are insane). What Potentate now exists in Russia to challenge Putin? You can't name one. Seems his position is a lot stronger to me.
    1
  9390. Why does he never explain what is different this time? We gave him a super-army and Russia destroyed it with ease! He speaks as if the last 18 months never took place and we should just take it on Faith that supporting him is in our interest. Why? Don't give me that "Russia will invade Europe" garbage. Why? Don't give me that "Its a democracy" garbage (when there are dozens of dictators running around we don't care about). Why?

  9391. They just inoculating each other against the disease called NATO.

  9394. He will attack the countries that are bombing Russia, US and UK. Germany has missiles but refuses to give them to Ukraine because Germany would have to program the missiles, making them part of the war. Same is true of US/UK but them being the main instigators they don't care. What they DO care about is RU taking out US satellites and/or UK bases with conventional weapons.

  9397. After the Fall of the Soviet Union, I don't really even see why the NATO "old guard" even needed to continue to try to fight Russian influence everywhere. Like right now in Niger, why NATO so worried about Russia signing contracts for military cooperation? Or Mali, why such fear of the new gold refinery Russia is going to build?? These people from Putin's generation in the West still think its 1984. Leave them alone!! What business is it of yours if they grow their economic influence elsewhere?? The fuccing meddling is why we are where we are today.

  9398. RU has 1000+ Tornado-S 😂

  9400. "Murder" is a legal term, and no matter how you spin it, even if Putin came here and submit himself to a US criminal court, you can't call it "murder" without being sued. Stop it, MSNBC. We know you are partisan; but when you break OUR OWN rules to give "weight" to a propaganda point, not only does it not work, it actually makes it worse. We all know you want the money for Ukraine, wild hyperbole and inflated "outrage" doesn't work. Look what happened in NYC today, and tell us why we should send $60B to Ukraine, $20B to Israel, and $15B to Taiwan (who aren't even at war!). Imagine what $15B for OUR BORDER and to prevent our own citizen police officers from being attacked by our newly-arrived "friends" could do!!!

  9403. I use Supertech Full Synthetic in a 2011 Jaguar XJ Supercharged for the past four years; no difference I can tell in any way vs. the Mobil 1 I used when it was under warranty. 12 years old and still idles so smoothly you can barely tell its running. I've seen the 20K mile oil there but I've never bothered with it as I'd never go that long without changing the oil; however I've often wondered if the "high mileage" blend was worth it. Doesn't really seem like it, I'll just stick with the 10K oil. However, I think I will go to a 7500 mile interval instead of the 5000 one I've used for years. Thanks!!

  9409. The whole NATO idea that they could somehow arm Ukraine "just enough" to "deter" Russia was insane from the start. War is war and the point of war is to win. You do that by crushing your enemies without mercy or remorse. Biden thought he could just send some missiles and that would be enough; Russia would go back with their tails between their legs and say "sorry, you guys win". Pure incompetence at the highest levels of US leadership. In Russia, war means TOTAL WAR: lands denuded, cities in flames, millions of refugees, hundreds of thousands of casualties. If Biden and the UK didn't expect and plan for that, history will savage them for being among the worst military leaders ever. Rightly so.

Garbage schools, no jobs where Black people live, decades of redlining and economic segregation. Produces thousands of men like this. Young, strong guys who should be doing construction, plumbing, HVAC, some other trades for $100K a year, but never had a chance. If you live there don't have any kids until you move the heck out of there. Go to Virginia or North Carolina or Texas.

  9413. Whatever really happened, this isn't it as CNN never reports the truth about the Ukraine war. Also, mercs don't get any protection under Geneva Convention so if these were Poles, Brits, or Americans, no "war crime". "

  9415. Yes, its the "culture"; everyone knows that. What everyone DOESN'T know is that "culture" didn't come from Africa; it was imbued within the slaves AFTER their arrival here. The US made AA's into what they are. Only the US can unmake them. Nigeria graduates so many doctors, UK had to pass a law to stop their NHS from hiring too many of them. Africans are perfectly fine; it was them being sent here that ruined them.

  9419. Biden lit the match, but the tinderbox has been there for almost a decade. In 2016 Donald Trump ran on isolationism---retrenchment of the US from its role paying billions to be the "global cop"----and he WON. You don't hear any Americans whining to take that role back. Nature abhors a vacuum and ever since nations have been jockeying for position in this new 21st Century paradigm where America doesn't matter anymore.

  9423. No greater proof that Biden's gambit failed. He wanted chaos to tie up Russian resources and attention for weeks or months it was hoped. Whether all those Russian and HTS soldiers died fighting each other, Biden could not have cared less; his only goal to help Ukraine in any way he could. Russia calmly collecting up their war machines, and flying them out is the WORST POSSIBLE OUTCOME FOR BIDEN. Just today Kurakhove fell to the Russian Army; all this hardware suddenly not needed in Syria will just be added to the enormous hammer currently bludgeoning Zelensky's hapless army into the dust. Failure, most foul...

  9425. Remember the "Russian" missile that video clearly showed people looking back towards Ukraine before it hit them? Let's wait a few days to be sure before starting WW3.

  9426. Russia has signaled in many ways and many times (Lukashenko, China, now even the African Union) that it is willing to negotiate to end the war. Washington (and London) don't want to talk; they want to fight because they simply don't want to give any legitimacy to Russia's security interests (Aegis Ashore missiles moved closer to Russia). Putin's problem isn't with Ukraine per se, it is with NATO's use of Ukraine; the problem is NATO. NATO knows this and won't allow Zelensky to talk; they are gambling not only with what remains of Ukraine's army, but the rest of Ukraine itself. Here's the Hard Truth. A negotiated end leaves Ukraine as it is now---it will have to be neutral but its borders will be what they are at this moment. Continuing to fight like Biden and NATO want, means a chance (low) of getting all of Crimea and the annexed areas back, but the risk is that if this offensive fails, Russia is going to do what Prigozhin said: mobilze EVERYONE for TOTAL WAR and flood what remains of Ukraine with Russian soldiers all the way to the Polish and Romanian borders.
    1
  9427. That bridge is immune now; probably the safest to cross it has been in the past two years. Why? Because the German spy leak from a couple weeks ago. No one can take it down other than the US or Germany so if it falls, no amount of "spin" can hide who is to blame.

  9428. I was born after Vietnam so pretty much until 9/11, the cataclysms of history were all in a book. The past 23 years have been a doozy: 9/11, 17 year war for nothing, COVID, now the US State Department secret world building program has painted us into a corner that our President is seriously debating whether to start a war with Russia. Now, TWO attempts on a Presidential candidates life in the months up to the election.... History indeed."

  9433. "...I approve the next tranche...." "Tranche" They even use the words of a 15 or 30 year mortgage-backed security to subtly prepare our minds that we'll be paying Ukraine's public sector salaries, pensions, army, police, fire, political administration, etc. for the remainder of the century. Just make it the 51st State and be done with it.

  9438. CNN always get these "speculators" up here talking like they know anything more than we do. Russia has long known the Belgorod area is vulnerable as it is too close to the Ukrainian border. Russia almost always knows that Ukraine is going to try so I'm sure they were aware of a threat to the plane. If it was carrying ammo, they probably put some POWs on there at the last minute (and were public about it) to deter AFU from attacking it. THAT is something I can absolutely see a Russian doing. Russia doesn't play at war; they are willing to go far lower than any NATO country would to achieve victory. That's why I told that feeble Biden two years ago not to try to fight Russia; the Bear will always do things you would not in order to win. Biden didn't listen...

  9439. This guy. Putin has already won the war. Even if the West saves the rest of Ukraine and it joins EU one day, itll never get back Crimea and the Russian speaking territory. War is over

  9440. UK citizens dont get it. If Russia gives up and Ukraine joins NATO, US will move their "Aegis Ashore" missile system currently in Poland, 400 miles closer to Russia. At that distance, Russia would have no time to respond to a US first strike, and basically accepting that is accepting the end of Russia as a free country.

  9441. At this point I'm ready to donate to the Russian Army...

  9442. Not unless NATO defeats Russia and administers the country directly. Which, of course, is the US dream scenario but the world will burn before that happens. Back in reality, the truth is not really. Russia wealthier now than they were two years ago. China, India, Pakistan and the BRICS have made up for all the oil and gas Europe no longer buys from Russia. You could freeze an asset here or there, take an airplane here or there, but Russia would just do the same to you somewhere else.

At Stalingrad, the Russians had to post police guards at the cemeteries to prevent civilians from digging up the freshly slain to eat them, as all the dogs/cats/rats/horses had long been consumed. You can't "beat" people with that kind of resolve. NATO will run out of Ukrainians before Russia runs out of Russians. Russia wins....again."

  9465. Those of us not named "Jeffrey Sachs" cannot even state his initial response in any Western Media (or even on YouTube) without it being deleted, us being called "traitors", etc. simply because we disagree with Biden Administration policy in Ukraine. To me, THAT is the greatest damage this debacle has done to the US; our ability to disagree with our government without negative sanction has basically been destroyed by the Democrat Party and its allied media outlets. Ukraine is physically destroyed; one of our foundational pillars is destroyed; both countries will rue this foreign policy disaster for a hundred years.

My God , stop being such quivering toddlers and grow up. 100 years ago Europe had 3 of the 4 most powerful militaries on earth. There is strength in you all, just have to find it again

  9470. Belorussia will help, but only in the way Putin directs them to. I'm not certain they'll actually cross the border, as they've mined it heavily and they'd have to remove them to send a large force in. My guess is all this is a show to force AFU to keep significant forces in the north.....just in case. Napolensky cannot risk them running into Kyiv again; this time there won't be anything Boris Johnson could say to Putin to get him to back off....."

  9472. What is happening is exactly what any open minded person with a shred of military knowledge knew would happen: a massacre. Too few tanks, too little artillery, no air support, men with months of training vs. reservists with years of training. Ukraine will within two or three weeks realize the futility of trying to break this Iron Wall and my guess is peace talks around July 4th or so...

  9475. Nobody cares anymore. Everyone knows its a full-on proxy war now, UK/US doing intelligence gathering, selecting targets, in Ukraine running the Patriot system, etc. Americans and Brits are holding nothing back when it comes to trying to toe the line of ensuring Ukraine wins without having to do the bloody work themselves. Only a fine line separates Russia and US or UK shooting directly at each other.

  9481. I think the only way to ensure a US victory in this war is to stop letting Ukraine fight in our stead; send in the US Marines to kick Russia out of Crimea.
    1
  9482. This is all lies and BS. Ukraine lies, Russia lies, US lies. Its war and propaganda is a field of battle like air, land or sea. However any level of critical thinking leads to only one conclusion. When your whole army is made up of the equipment from 30 different countries, and you only have weeks or months to train, it is almost impossible to fight effectively with it. Not even American soldiers could take a German tank, French IFV, British APC and Polish artillery and have it all working together in four months of training. That is impossible. Ukraine cannot depot the American artillery they have for refurbishment because Russia will destroy any such facility as its size would make it impossible to hide. Instead they have to be shipped to Poland to be refurbished then shipped back. Ukraine can make Russia work harder for victory, but that is all---the outcome was never in doubt.

  9483. I don't believe the Brits ever sent even a single Challenger tank. That was in January and here it is almost August and no one has ever seen one in Ukraine even fire one shot at the Russians. Today Ukraine cashes in all her poker chips and even now, no Challengers to be seen. History will record it as the "Coward Tank" of the Ukraine war.

  9486. Another wave of hypersonic washing machines last night, and almost NO video on telegram of people recording what got hit. They say AFU "Special Services" arrested a lot of people after the air raids last week for posting video of things that were hit. Come on, Ukraine we want to see the 40 foot craters made by the washing machines!

  9487. Ahh CNN's favorite Russophobe war-monger. The past few weeks I've watched a couple of vids from the US nuke tests of the late 1940s/early 1950s. Its clear to me that too much time has passed and now, in 2024 more than half of the US population can't tell the difference between a fission detonation and a fusion one. That is the only way to explain how casual Democrat voters are about wanting the US to declare war on Russia. Kids, try "Redwing Mohawk", only 365kt (half the power of each of the 10 warheads in ONE Russian Sarmat-class ICBM). Educate the kids.....PLEASE....before its too late...

  9490. Ukraine got around that with Poland. They planes carrying storm shadow land and then immediately take off again to Poland so they survive the retaliatory strike. Then they fly back to Ukraine when it's safe. That is how F-16 will not "attack from NATO country". Smart...
    1
  9491. A terrible, totally unnecessary war. Enabled by Biden; without whom Zelensky could not have done anything. Biden didn't do it out of the goodness of his heart; he did it to score a political victory with his base back home by sticking it to Putin's eye. However it has now backfired in a terrible way---the cost has been Ukraine's future. The security plan Russia gave to NATO in September, 2021 would have resulted in Ukraine losing some territory, yes. However what remained would have been intact and 100,000 of her sons would still be alive. Was it worth it, Ukraine?

  9495. Unless the S-300/Buk/Pantsir can shoot these down, this is really gonna piss Putin off as they'd basically turn Sevastopol and the Black Sea Fleet into "Pearl Harbor and the USS Arizona". One thing the Russians have done well is signals intelligence and EW. They've jammed HIMARS and JDAM, Ukraine has to use radar data from American AWACS (flying over Poland) because if they turn their anti-air radars on the Russians quickly locate and destroy them, etc. If they can counter Storm Shadow then maybe nothing much changes; if they can't...

  9496. Ukraines beleaguered forces are being hurled back in every sector. There is not a single theater where Russia is on the offensive and is being stopped by Ukraine. This isn't even the massive multi-pronged summer offensive by three entire army groups. In the future when someone says "The Guns of August" , people will ask if you mean 1914 or 2024....

  9497. Putin said back in August his army had to throw AFU out by end of October. YT deleted it back then and tried to suppress that Putin actually said it....***

  9507. Zelensky is crazy; have you seen him talking recently?? Wild hand gestures, eyes all bugged out---they guy is cracking under the strain. He threatened Russia today with a "counter-offensive" in 2025, and Putin laughed. Zelensky is also demanding the EU and NATO begin talks to admit Ukraine this June; his Presidency ends on May 21 so if some kind of settlement talks don't occur soon, he may not even be able to legally negotiate on Ukraine's behalf.

  9508. The laws were written when women HAD to be supported by their husband because the only job a woman could get was seamstress. The system must be updated: unless there is a compelling reason, default child support for either party should be zero. Mom pays when child is with her, Dad pays when child is with him, both must carry health insurance. That is fair in the modern era.
    1
  9509. Like Scott Ritter said yesterday: Whatever "attack" Ukraine is planning will probably gain some territory in the first days or weeks, then Russia's massive advantage in artillery, aircraft, tanks, and manpower will eventually take its toll. After that Ukraine will have nothing left and only then will Zelensky decide it is time to talk.

  9510. Abrams or Challenger 2 soon?

  9511. Wait so all the people who have actually seen and talked to the Lizard Men are afraid to say so because they might lose their jobs?? That is the biggest load of BS I've heard since "Russians only have shovels". There are people on TikTok and YouTube making six figures A MONTH doing the most stupid and inane things you can think of, and you want me to believe that the people with direct evidence are afraid to tell us We Are Not Alone because they may not be able to make their mortgage payment???
    1
  9512. How do they think this will end? Russia will never back down; for 400 years they never have. Russia can reach US / UK cities with conventional weapons so no matter what our cities will burn as much as theirs will. What is Bidens point?"
    1
  9513. This war needs to end...NOW. It should never have started and it wouldn't have but for Zelensky (and Biden who enabled him). Russia's security deal before the war (which Biden rejected), would have given Ukraine far more than it has now. Unfortunately Biden's re-election chances are now tied to the outcome so if there is a negotiated settlement where Russia keeps what it already has, it will be seen as a "loss" (and in reality it would be). Biden will lose re-election. This means Biden will keep fueling the war for the next 18 months.

  9515. The ironic thing is the stronger these two (and China get), the LESS likely we have a 21st century of war ahead of us like the 20th. Wars are the result of an imbalance; one side believes they are stronger. A world in which both blocs are about equal strength is a peaceful world.

  9516. The main problem is the anti prison policy of Democrats over the past decade. They have signaled that crime won't be taken seriously so that has emboldened many to think "I can do this and not ve punished" so we get a huge surge in opportunistic crime. Democrats making things worse for the 756th time...

    1
  9529. Zelensky won't negotiate as long as Biden arms Ukraine enough for them to believe they have a chance to kick Russia out everywhere. In 2024 when Biden gives them 200 Abrams tanks, Zelensky may be right. Problem is they have to survive long enough for that to occur.

  9533. Signs of disaster are everywhere. Blinken is flipping out; blaming China for Russia's ability to fight 32 other countries and win. French Army "specialists" are being offered large bonuses to "retire", fight in Ukraine, and be fully reinstated after. The Abrams has been pulled from combat ops by AFU as they've lost 5 of 31 in a month and realized they can't protect them from RU drones. At the front, towns are falling hours after the first Russians enter them. I'm sure all that and more is being discussed...

  9534. You DEMs haven't been listening to the GOP. Trump won in 2016 partially on isolationism, and that has NOT abated in the least since then. "Isolationism: is a policy of avoiding involvement in other countries' affairs, especially alliances and agreements." Ya'll aren't listening; the GOP base is serious as a heart-attack; when they say no more money spread all over the world as the "global cop" they mean NO MORE.

  9538. Of course he's on an American military aircraft because the Beggar can't even afford his own air force to fly him here. We pay all Ukraine's bills, all their salaries, all their pensions, their police, fire, military everything. What do we get? What exactly has Zelensky pledged to the US in return? The Democrat Party knows; why can't they share it with us?

  9539. Those missiles and drones were aimed at the supercarrier, not Israel. Rockets and drones have been falling into US bases from Iraq to Syria the past 24 hours-----those weren't "aimed at Israel". LOL. They are shooting at us.....

  9541. Ukraine appears to be led by idiots. You can't force a more powerful foe to the negotiating table by simply taking some territory and getting into a static fight over it. They have more of everything; they will just wear you down and take it back. The only thing they could possibly be gambling is that Donald Trump wins in November. He has said once he is in, he will tell Putin negotiate now or I flood UKraine with more weapons than you've ever seen, and tell Zelensky negotiate now or you won't get another dime. This could force RU to negotiate before they've had the time to take Kursk back."

  9542. Military Summary reported it was an ATACMS a week ago; several were shot down but of course a few got through. Russia sent back twice as many Tornado-S the next day thats where all the vid of the Mig-29s and cluster airbursts were from.

  9543. Biden administration shills keep repeating this "the money doesn't go to Ukraine it goes to Lockheed Martin!" trope and that is an utter lie --- $30B of the $60B goes right off the top to Ukraine to pay Ukraine's public salaries and keep the country running. Only $15B is actually for weapons and ammo---less than half. Right now the highway leading west out of Kharkiv has both sides filled with cars; only one lane is heading into the city. It is like a scene from an alien invasion movie; people fleeing the oncoming Russian steamroller. Guided bombs are now falling on Kharkiv for the first time, meaning RU aircraft can fly to within 60km with no fear of Patriot because the Patriots have been destroyed. This is an unwinnable war , and has been since its inception. Everyone knows this but no one dares to say it for fear of being "cancelled".
    1
  9544. Have to keep those things out. If they let them in, some people will buy them and then they won't maintain them, the manufacturer support will be non-existent (forget about dealers), insurers will balk at insuring them, and they'll soon fill up the Copart lots and the "running from the police" vids. Just say 'NO".

  9556. Yep!! When I heard about the "EYE" targeting system I thought "instant response direct fire from a thermobaric rocket is guaranteed instant death". There is nowhere to hide from a flamethrower rocket, it kills you in a ditch, in a tank, in a building, in the open. No injuries, only death.

    1
  9565. I don't know what he can possibly say to Biden. Russia just announced (for the 10th time) today they have ruled out any talks with Kyiv. Why would they talk now when their armies have the AFU in retreat in all sectors? Maybe they will both kneel and pray together....

  9567. I have zero enmity for Ukraine; most Americans could not find Ukraine on a map before 2014. I have enmity for Joe Biden and this disastrous attempt to "teach Russia a lesson" on the cheap using Ukrainian lives. I have enmity for Zelensky who went along with this once Austin/Milley/Nuland/Blinken convinced him they could give him enough weapons to beat Russia. Beat Russia. The country that defeated two of the largest armies in history in Napoleon and Hitler. I just feel sadness for all these Ukrainian guys being ground to dust under the Russian steamroller; the photos of women and children only being allowed to leave Kupiansk, and all these grandpas in the Territorial Defense Units, trying to stop Storm-Z troops half their age. That Zelensky-----I hope he gets his just rewards Mussolini style by his own people's hands.
    1
  9568. The reason NATO killed the deal is because it expressly kept the US and UK out of Ukraine's defense forever. France and China were allowed to assist Ukraine's defense needs, but not US or Britain. That's why they killed it....
    1
  9569. WaPo are the biggest Ukraine War cheerleaders; on the level of CNN. Harris is just going to continue boneheaded DEM policy on Ukriane but it is obvious even to the blind, Ukraine has no hope. Zelensky said it two weeks ago he only has two choices: 1. NATO allows Ukraine in and then fights for them. 2. Just keep doing as they have for the past 3 years and slowly be ground away (just as Obama said would happen in 2015). I believe this is primarily why WaPo made such an unprecedented decision; the blowback for the Ukraine Policy disaster will be brutal and they were complicit so it will fall on them too. They want this to be the last time that ever happens to them...
    1
  9570. Russia will simply Kinzhal it like all the others. There is no hope for Ukraine.
    1
  9571. When Putin says "multi polar" world, he means more than one center of power. NATO is a center of military power unchallenged for 30 years. This has allowed it to expand and in many cases become far more aggressive than it ever was before. The world fears NATO, they seek protection in numbers as alone they are weak and easily picked off by NATO.
    1
  9572. LOL....too late. They are all dead as of about six hours ago.

  9573. Russia has to keep a very close watch on their hypersonic washing machine engineers. They have become the #1 espionage targets for the CIA and MI6 because Russia is so far ahead of the whole planet when it comes to this weapon type. Just like in the movie "Rogue One", the scientists building the Death Star became the most valuable people in the galaxy (which was often very bad for their health).
    1
  9574. If Ukraine was taking Bakhmut-sized cities, hurling Russians back in headlong retreat, shooting down 100 Su-30 fighters, our screens filled every night with joyous people "liberated" throwing flowers at AFU riding Challenger 2s, taking 10s of thousands of poorly-fed conscripts prisoner, etc. after the $113B we've spent, one could justify sending more money. Instead, Ukraine is taking farms, "liberating" ghosts, Russia has shot down more Su-30s than AFU has, and the Challenger 2/Leopard 2 have not destroyed even a single solitary Russian armored vehicle of any type. If $113B gets us failure on that level, what is $300M more gonna do?? What is TEN BILLION more gonna do?? Nothing. Ukraine now wants to conscript men up to age 65. Putting a 65 year old man in a trench in front of Russian marines, paratroops, and Storm-Z 1/3rd their age is what I'd call "despicable".
    1
  9575. Yes, because sending your units to attack the enemy while wearing the uniform of your enemy is technically a war crime under Geneva Convention. If Ukrainian Army attacks Russia fine; if they send these "rebels" in there in fake Russian police uniforms that is a war crime.

  9576. I for one am thrilled to no longer see Ukrainian intelligence agents filling the CNN comment board with "Slava Ukraini!!"

  9577. Gerasimov and Shoigu just playing "Command and Conquer" with Ukraine now; they have more of everything so anywhere AFU is strong, they are weak somewhere else. RU just probes in 2 or 3 other places and when they find the soft spot, they just take it as they know there is no AFU to stop them.

  9581. Trump told Bibi he wants the Gaza war over by time he enters office. We all know what he told Zelensky. I don't care how much you despise him personally, ending these wars means tens of thousands will live who otherwise would not under a Harris Administration. That isn't hyperbole.

  9582. Unless the S-300/Buk/Pantsir can shoot these down, this is really gonna piss Putin off. One thing the Russians have done well is signals intelligence and EW. They've jammed HIMARS and JDAM, Ukraine has to use radar data from American AWACS (flying over Poland) because if they turn their anti-air radars on the Russians quickly locate and destroy them, etc. If they can counter Storm Shadow then maybe nothing much changes; if they can't...

  9583. Either Biden leaked it on purpose to stop Netanyahu (who he is documented to loathe); or it really came out by a person who is anti-Israel and wants to stop it. Either way, it drives a wedge between the US and Israel; who for 50 years have not even had a sliver of daylight between them...
    1
  9584. Lloyd Austin on TV now spewing nonsense to justify banned arms being "un-banned" because the Biden Admin. says so. Just like the cluster bombs that were "war crimes" until Biden wanted to send them. The Azov guys that were "nazi's" (according to Congress), but suddenly were not because Biden wanted to give them weapons. Time and time again, Biden folds himself over like an Origami to appease those pulling his strings; and each time it results in failure...

  9588. Ukraine at this point is a branch of the US Military. Biden is giving them all our latest toys; that is why Zelensky speaks with such confidence. If I were Putin, I'd be ready to just use a few tactical nukes and end this whole show.

  9589. Biden can force you to negotiate by turning off your weapon spigot. YOU are not in charge here; WE are.

  9591. Well, looks like the negotiations have begun.....Puntin's first plan presented, now Zelensky's response is coming. They'll go back and forth like this for months until they get to something that looks like Istanbul 2022. 😂

  9602. The only reason we hesitate to call all this "World War Three" is because the big boys are only fighting via proxies. That is not going to last forever; it never does
    1
  9603. The jokes weren't even funny , but the fact that literally everyone he made fun of was right there in his face, kind of makes the DEM "outrage" seem a bit hollow. Dave Chappelle says similar stuff, and sometimes it ruffles someone's feathers but it is never hyped up as the "End of The World" like this. The "GOP are racist while the DEM are not" trope is an anachronism in 2024...
    1
  9604. Meh, no "bombshells". Some funny moments like when Putin roasted Tucker about him wanting to be a CIA agent (and them rejecting him). Most of what I learned were just details; like the fact Germany has many options (some going through Ukraine) to get plenty of cheap Russian LNG, but they are not using any of them. They are willfully buying from EU and US at much higher rates, doing real and massive damage to their own economy. So far, the German people are on-board with this, so in a sense, they are "donating" hundreds of billions of euros "to Ukraine". I think the biggest fear the MSM had about this interview is just seeing that Putin is alive and well and in far better health than Biden; that alone is enough to blackout the interview.
    1
  9605. "Liberated" , the word itself is propaganda in this war. A few days ago Crimea and the Republics voted 90% to remain Russia, but Ukraine says "I have come to liberate you!" LOL. Ukraine has to evacuate towns whenever they want to begin operating there because they can't trust the residents not to tell the Russians exactly where they are. Russia could leave tomorrow and Ukraine would still be at war------with the people living in Crimea and the Republics.
    1
  9606. A lot of countries (not all) in NATO want to have a go at Russia: the US, Poles and UK are just itching for the chance. The problem is Biden would have to get approval and he'd need a reason to be able to sell it to Congress for a vote. There is no such reason; just saying "I started a proxy war and now I'm losing, we need to go and fight Russia ourselves!" is not going to pass US Congress. As the "Alpha Dog" of NATO, if the US doesn't go in first, none of the others will.
    1
  9607. Why is the West so shocked?? Did they really think NO ONE in the world would help Russia? 30 different countries running around Ukraine for 3 years and one ally helps Russia and panic everywhere in NATO
    1
  9608. ATACMS are just rockets----they are not stealthy, they are not hypersonic (about Mach 3). Any modern AD system can shoot them down. Stupid NATO always hyping their new "wunderwaffe" that turns out to be not so wunder after all. ATACMS is a big missile (600mm) and AFU is firing them at a target where their enemy is fully expecting them to. A few get through, but the damage they do is meaningless. Just like everything else NATO tries.
    1
  9609. For months I didn't believe NK troops were in Russia to fight, no matter what Ukraine or US said, because no army fights without its hardware, and there was zero reports of any large amounts of NK hardware entering Russia. Such hardware would be impossible to hide. Well, a couple of days ago a RU Telegram channel I've followed for over a year (and just reports on military activity of Russia---no politics), showed the 122mm D-74 gun in action. That gun was retired from RU service in the 80s and NK is known to operate many of them. Today I just saw on that same channel a railcar of at least a dozen, monster 170mm M-1978 SPG's. A gun that only comes from one place: North Korea. I'm a believer now; NK Army is there and they are there to fight.

  9610. How is it "dangerous"?? US may try to sanction China, which will be even more meaningless than the sanctions tried on Russia. That's it. That is the "danger"?
    1
  9611. I want to see proof at the UN that whoever fired on US bases is "Iranian". None of that "WMD fake proof" like from 2003 either.... Don't trust our government at any level
    1
  9612. I'm not even sure why 15 months into the war Kramatorsk is still standing. Kyiv as well. Both should look like Bakhmut now. The point of war is to win, right? War is the Devil's Work and you cannot do that while being an Angel; trying to take the "high road" in war just lengthens the war, resulting in MORE dead on both sides. Take the gloves off Putin; you have 1500 combat aircraft and all we see daily over the front is 20 or 30 Su-25s. You have a 100+ ship navy including two Admiral Grigorovich-Class frigates in the Black Sea, why is Odessa still standing? Go hard and end the war. That is true mercy for all.

  9613. Obama was against arming Ukraine in 2015 to fight Russia because he believed they'd just be destroyed in the process of losing an unwinnable war. He should be roasting Biden and his Party for not listening to him.......
    1
  9614. Our annual military budget is $900M. I wonder sometimes, if 30 countries pooled together and gave another country, with a population of 700 million, $2.7 trillion in weapons, would we have survived two years?? $2.7T buys 50,000 tanks, 1000 F-22s, and 50 Ford class super carriers. Could we have beaten them?
    1
  9615. Iran "saves face" by this attack being relatively small. However, Israel is the true "winner" overall because in exchange for their restraint, Joe Biden has given them his blessing to take Rafah by storm
    1
  9616. The world needs to understand internal American politics to understand Biden's actions. Two main things: 1. Biden and Democrat party are still MAD AS HELL about how Putin helped Trump win in 2016. Never underestimate how much the Democrats want to punish Putin for that. 2. A new generation of American Left has grown up after the Cold War ended in 1989. Some of them are "hawks" and believe the US can use its military power to create "safe space" in the World for Left-leaning policy (like gay / lesbian freedom, etc.). They see Putin as a threat to that.

  9619. LOL, even Biden mouthpiece CNN recognizes that Ukraine is blowing out windows, while Russia is blowing out city blocks. Not to mention the Major flatly admits Ukraine is at this point only fighting to get a better position at the negotiating table; the idea they can beat Russia outright is (as it has always been) pure fantasy.

  9621. Hey, you are on my wavelength! The recent loss of reliable cars (normally aspirated, torque converter auto) has made older cars that have those simple reliable powertrains more desirable. I had a 2017 get t-boned and I replaced it with a 2013 Acura with 101K. All records, fully serviced at Acura dealer and had just had its 100K mile service done. Put a two year powertrain warranty on it and out the door for $14K. I expect to put at least another 150K on it. My kid went to college, bought him a 2015 Infiniti Q50 with 102K; trans and diff service done at Infiniti dealer at 80K. Leather, amazing Bose sound, 328hp bulletproof V6...all for $11K. Manufacturers were forced to build all this unreliable turbo garbage; they get crazy good mpg but they don't last.

  9626. Big OpEd in the Daily Telegraph today arguing to attack Iran before "its too late". Xi already announced months ago China is preparing for war. Now, we are entering the "to hell with it" phase of this war where Ukraine no longer even bothers to hide the fact it is blowing up civilians on a "dual use" target (was there even a soldier or tank within a mile of the bridge when they bombed it?). There will be no peace in our time; the 21st Century is going to be bloodier than the 20th. Lavrov was right: the Anglo-Saxon nations are girding to put half the planet under the heel of their boots; starting (as always) with the Slavs.

  9627. Yep! US realizes the war is lost but they are going to get Ukraine into NATO (the whole point of the war) by whatever means.

  9628. The Biden Military: fights only poor people and lost its edge

  9629. So if this is a race to see who can take their enemies' territory first, Ukraine was foolish to enter such a race. Even at their "surprise invasion" pace of 1100 km2 in 3 days, it would take them about 5.7 million days to conquer all of Russia. While Russia, moving slower through fortified territory would take about 4,000 days to conquer all of Ukraine. Tortoise and the Hare indeed..."

  9632. The fact I didn't see any tanks involved made me feel this was kind of an "opportunistic" attack. It started out as a probe, but when the defenses melted away so easily, they just kept going since "why not?" What is really amazing is that all this caused Antony Blinken to rush to Kyiv and Budanov and Syrsky to start blaming each other. Imagine what will happen when RU sends 25,000 along with 200 T-90Ms....

  9635. Every time I begin to feel a little sorry for Ukraine, I see a video of an armored vehicle with a balkenkreuz ( german cross) painted on it, firing at the Russians, and all my budding sympathy evaporates. Why? After two years why would Azov brigade continue to do things like this which only makes them appear to be exactly what Putin calls them??
    1
  9636. Only America has the satellites, and only NATO troops have the software and training to program the missiles (no matter which NATO country provides them), with the satellite data. So, without America, there is no "long-range weapon for Ukraine". The reason Joe Biden hesitates, is he knows that Russia has the theoretical ability to disable those satellites and he doesn't want to find out for sure. US has 247 (that we know of) spy satellites at an average cost of $1B each; do the math. Just the chance Russia could render even ten of them unusable is a risk the US cannot take on behalf of its proxy...."

They look like pizza trays behind the wheels; I think back then only the Porsche 918 had larger front rotors. Over a decade later the Jag still stops so well my kids are like "Dad, why you stop so suddenly?" and I'm like "I just put my big toe on it! Sorry!" :-) Acura understands that there is no cheap shortcut to quality.

  9641. Challenger in theater for 8 MONTHS and the ONE time it came out it got wiped out by a $4000 Lancet, before it even got within 10 km of the enemy. UK told AFU to hide the remaining ones after that-----and in the past 8 months RU has dropped an Iskander or two on so many AFU warehouses and hiding places I seriously doubt there are any left. Abrams has only been in theater since September and knowing AFU, they are probably hiding them under a daycare center so they don't get wiped out before they ever get used. Putin sees everything, knows everything, punishes everything.

  9642. Napolensky sinks a ferry far from the line of combat. While RU is rampaging almost unopposed in Donbas; today they showed a captured unit banner from a battalion of the AFU 79th brigade.

  9643. Russia deployed the RS-28 Sarmat heavy ICBM over the weekend, with the Avangard hypersonic warhead and made it very clear it was ready for use in Ukraine if needed.

After such a weapon, there would be little need for a medic..."

  9646. The only thing we know (because they admit it) is that Ukraine shot the plane down. With what? They obviously never said. What was on the plane? Unknown. There WAS a prisoner exchange in planning for January 25th for about 200 from each side. That's pretty much the only things both sides admit to. Just on those two facts: AFU fired, some planes (who knows if this one) were in transit with POWs for the negotiated exchange to this area. A plane was hit. Not much of a stretch to believe AFU destroyed their own men.

  9647. Putin already has his response to the next NATO escalation ready (he always does). If Biden give the new long range missiles, RU will respond with their new long range missiles, and I am not talking about Iskander...."

  9649. It takes decades for historians to unravel the truth behind what you see on any given day. Documents "leak", people write books long after, memoirs are found after someone important passes away, etc. I wish I could go to 2249 and read the history of why the West decided on mass immigration from non-Western countries was the way forward in the latter part of the 20th Century. US and EU have been doing this on purpose now for decades; it is a POLICY. Economists say they had to in order for their economies not to stagnate, but I don't buy that argument.

UK will have to do it alone, but UK can't even put 40 tanks into the field, and has no operational bombers. Russia had over thirty bombers in the air a couple nights back sending almost 200 missiles and drones at Ukraine. UK would lose in six days if it tried to take on Russia alone.

How does anyone still listen to these ISW/Euronews propaganda outlets after two plus years of them being proven wrong hundreds of times about Russia???"

  9676. I'm not proud of my government. I feel like 2003 all over again with the fake "WMDs"; and there's nothing we can do to stop it. They say they are doing it for us; for our "security", but they are liars. They do it for themselves.

  9677. There never was a strategy. Two years ago Putin stopped talking and sent the tanks and Biden had to hurry and decide what to do.

  9682. How about the Western powers just leave Russia the fucc alone??? Why is that not an option?

  9691. Zelensky asked NATO to train their 150K conscripts in Ukraine to "speed things up" (really, so they don't run away if they get sent to Poland or Germany). I heard Biden already said "no"; because the logistics to train 150K soldiers can't be hidden. Russia would be dropping Iskanders on bases, supply depots, rail yards, anything and everything and they wouldn't care whose army it was from. US would absolutely start taking casualties and there would be no way to hide it. Biden also suggested to all NATO countries not to do so either. That is why Zelensky sounds so frustrated today

  9710. Biden's move was downright Machiavellian here. Trump can stop a war between a proxy State and Russia, but he can't stop a war between the United States and Russia. By forcing Putin to now choose to respond or back down, Biden wins either way. If Russia responds, the US and Russia go to war and Trump will be unable to stop it once our military people start falling in battle. If Russia backs down, the game is up and the World knows the claws of the Bear only go so far; NATO will smell weakness and suddenly even Latvia will be sending long range missiles into downtown Moscow. Either way, Biden looks like the Golden Boy. I must say....impressive, most impressive...

  9711. Biden gonna cave and give Israel the JDAMs and 155mm shells to do it? Or will he man up and say "if you want to go in there, you can use a bow and arrow as you won't be getting the free weapons from us to do it"?

    1
  9718. Is Biden going to thank Russia for destroying over four million German, Italian, and Hungarian soldiers from 1941-1944 prior to D-Day?? The soldiers 80 years ago sure were thankful those soldiers weren't waiting for them in France.

    1
  9735. Your idea that AFU veterans should train their new soldiers is an excellent one, which is why it'll never happen. To do that means NATO has to accept that their methods don't work in the "real world"; their 50 years of investment in "wunderwaffe" to protect Europe probably would have failed had the Soviets sent the house in 1981, and that the $20B army from last summer was basically a sacrificial lamb to the slaughter. Won't happen in a thousand years...

  9737. Stupid AFU TikTok army defeating itself by its own behavior for the 337th time. Why does a military brigade have a "social media channel or page"?? Maybe in peacetime ok, but in wartime this page should be offline. The last two days, posts all over by AFU how they are "coming to save Avdiivka". So of course, Russia watches everything, sees the concentration and bombs it. This is at least part of the reason why still no F-16s, the Abrams has been prohibited from being used, and the GOP in the US don't want to give Ukraine any more money. They have proven that they are not smart and good stewards of what is given to them.

No existing "S" buyer would want this; no Tesla buyer would want this (they are happy with lowest quality in the world, why would highest quality in the world even interest them?). No enthusiast would want this. It isn't beautiful like a Maserati or something where you can enjoy it just looking at it. There is zero emotion inside; a visual light show and that's it. It is a comfy cruiser, but so is every car over $60K. The Taycan succeeds in being a Porsche first, an EV second and that's why it is so desired. This isn't a "Benz"; at least not like any Benz before it. Those pillows on the headrests?? Vomit-inducing. This will be outsold 10 to 1 by the S-Class...

  9739. I was right. The NATO nation hosting Ukraines Su-24 is Poland! However Ukraine launches the planes from their territory, they fire the storm shadows, then immediately turn and land, THEN they take off again and go directly to a base in Poland! Russia cannot say they came FROM Poland to attack Russia, but they are now safe from Kinzhal strike. Sneaky b******s!!! 😂

  9746. You can tell Biden and the DEMs are desperate. This foreign policy adventure is totally on them, and every day Russia burns another Abrams tank and rampages over Ukraine's dwindling defenses, the more they realize the final result lay only in their lap. Johnson has more negotiating leverage on the DEMs than the GOP has had in probably 30 years or more. He needs to stand firm until he finds out where Biden's limit is.

  9748. Hungarians know what an enraged Bear can do. Orban is looking out for his own people first, EU second, and Ukraine third. At Stalingrad, the Hungarian Second Army (its best equipped), was smashed by the Red Army when it broke out and surrounded the Germans to achieve victory. The Hungarians took 80% casualties, so they know what an enraged, pissed off Bear is capable of. US and UK citizens pushing for more war are safe with oceans around them; Hungary has no such luxury.

  9749. It looks like an armored vehicle from the Battle of Kursk. Will they make a trim for owners who will drive the car themselves without all the $20K in stuff for people who are driven? I will say I do really like that the motors are a BMW design that does not use rare-earth metals, which is awesome as we don't want to enrich our future enemy China if we can help it.

  9753. Video confirmations now coming in that last night's attack on Kiev was aimed at Zhuliany airport, where many Ukrainian aircraft are parked. Patriot is supposed be protecting this airport but some number of missiles got through as there are wrecked planes visible today. This is a known NATO staging airport and likely where F-16s will be deployed one day. Russia is sending a message. "go ahead and put F-16s there, and no amount of Patriots will prevent us destroying them"

They called me and said "we aren't building the regular inline 6 ones yet, for the time being only the I6 with the mild hybrid is being built". I said "I don't want that engine, I want the simplest one----I6 bolted to a ZF transmission---no turbos, no superchargers, no electric motors attached to it. Call me when you are building that one."

  9759. Two years ago I noticed Biden and Blinken seemed to be "warning" half the world. Every other week, "US warns China, US warns Iran, US warns NK, US warns Russia, US warns Venezuela, etc." The past few months, its "US Condemns" half the world as nations seem to have the gall to not do what Biden wants them to. When the King has to constantly say 'I am the King!', he is no King

  9760. I'll never forget "the verdict". I was on lunch break from my job in a downtown highrise, the food court was packed and all the big screen TVs had the channel to the LA courtroom (yes kids, at that time no one carried a TV in their pocket). When the verdict was announced there was stunned silence....probably 500 or more people all in suits or a dress....utterly quiet. I quickly pivoted and headed straight for the elevator to get out of there because at that time I was 24 and fresh out of B-school; and I am black so at that moment there were probably 480 very angry white people in that food court and maybe 20 black people at the most. I was worried somebody may see me and take out their anger on me and I didn't want to ruin my very expensive new suit. You'll never understand it if you didn't live through it.

  9761. Maybe, but no legal "right" to my tax money for weapons. US don't owe Ukraine anything; they are not our territory, protectorate, we have no Treaty with them (Budapest Memorandum is not legally binding). They don't have a "right" to US satellite targeting data either. If they fire their own missiles at Russia have at it, no one stopping you. However they have ZERO "right" to draw us into their war...."

Transmissions that are essentially bulletproof. Comfy interiors, booming sound systems, etc. All will tear your eyeballs out with acceleration and fill your ears with the sound of a glorious V8. If you are old enough to remember 1980s or 1990s American cars, you would feel like you are in Heaven with any of these.

  9778. Since June 5th, Ukraine has suffered 28,000 casualties, and that is coming from an array of military analysts and even the mainstream media who reported the 30% losses in Western equipment over same period. This is BEFORE the massive attacks of last week!! Even if you cut that number in HALF, that is an annualized casualty rate of over 85,000. That is almost the entire amount of soldiers Ukraine has deployed. The Telegraph had report two weeks ago that Ukraine's 48th Mountain was training 60,000 women for combat operations! A nation that is willing to throw its women, the only ones who can birth its future, into the meat grinder, is a nation that deserves to lose. This is insane. Armistice. Now.

  9779. Putin is in Chad today, bit by little bit doing what his life's work has always been: To build a world that no longer rotates around Anglo-Saxon countries. It really is that simple. I don't believe Putin has ever wanted to hurt a Belgian housewife or French cyclist or Swedish banker. He just wants them all to be----irrelevant.

  9783. Sigh...two years ago, I like everyone else thought "Russia will crush them in a few weeks or months". We all were wrong because Russian intel was wrong, Ukraine had far more NATO weapons than anyone knew. However, once Russia retreated and Putin said they were switching to "total war" economy, I knew what we see today would be the result eventually. Once they got the Steamroller fully ready, they started on November 7th or so and its just going to keep slowly grinding AFU to dust.

Zelensky knows putting the strain on those already there is getting very, very unpopular.

  9791. Ukraine will lose; but they will not lose the "war". Because the war is far, far more than just Ukraine; they are only the first "battle" and Russia armed up faster than NATO so this round will go to Russia. However it WILL NOT end there, and not necessarily because Putin will continue into Poland. It won't end because NATO will not allow it to end . Even without Zelensky, they will in some way, shape, or form continue to fight Russia. Then Iran. Then China (if / when China moves on Taiwan). This is just the First Act...
    1
  9792. Iran needs to formally Ally itself with Russia (and China too if they can do so). The US will give Israel everything it wants to respond and I mean everything . Israel already gets F-35s, Biden will loan them a Ford-Class Supercarrier if needed to get back at Iran. Iran is going to need help to take on Israel"

Ukraine rolls right into GDF'ing Pacific Fleet Marines and VDV Airborne that absolutely murder them. Great job Biden!

  9796. NATO, fully aware that Ukraine now has zero chances of survival; are grasping at straws to try to snuff out every last bit of Russian influence and power in the world.

They are losing ....."

  9804. They are preparing because they know what we can put together just by the evidence we see. Ukraine has lost, and the West has reached its limit. Biden has waffled on F-16s for 18 months and even now is waffling on even training. The Abrams have been stripped of anything the US Army doesn't want Russia to have, meaning they know the tanks will be destroyed and some captured. People are talking about "security guarantees"; a post-war phrase if ever there was one. The Poles know, that once the Ukraine issue is settled, only God can keep the Russians out of Warsaw. Every word out of Putin's mouth has a meaning; love him or hate him his record on that is 100%; he does not make idle statements. His crack a couple weeks ago to the Poles about how "Stalin gifted them their western lands" was not trolling---Putin is no Millennial. That was a reference to history and those over age 40 know exactly what it meant: that which was given, can also be taken away.

  9808. Zelensky: "war is returning to Russia" A day later his own hometown hit by a barrage of missiles. Enough. We who are objective have to start confronting the crazies in our midst. US military intelligence just today says Russia's MIC (safely out of range of anything other than NATO strategic-class weaponry, 2000 miles away in the Urals), is now hitting MONTHLY production numbers, that were ANNUAL numbers in 2022. Just yesterday at Navy Day, Putin announced 30 new warships to be delivered to Russian Navy THIS year (if you know anything about ships, the ship you see delivered today, was started four or five years ago). Their MIC is QUICKLY incorporating lessons learned by combat experience as well as ALL the NATO weapons captured in 18 months (which is pretty much at least one of any type you could name). The Lancet drone now has no peer, no similar weapon system anywhere has its proven combat record (taken out multiple Leopard 2s) and NATO still cannot stop it. Its new variant, the Izdelie-53 have a new tube launcher which can contain up to four Lancets and the drones can relay information between them about armored vehicles and their concentration and attack fully autonomously. Armistice. Now.

  9809. If you are going to beat it up of course that cheap one is the one to get. However even at $55K it would hurt my feelings to take my brand new off road vehicle into the scrub brush and mud for the first time. I'd almost prefer to wait 6 months, buy one used that already has a few scratches on it, and save $10K! My guess is 90% of ones sold will be the luxed up leather lined ones----reflecting exactly the percentage of US models that will ever leave pavement in their service lives....

  9813. I'm loving the Mt. Everest sized plate of crow the West is eating the past six months. Ukraine now hurriedly digging trenches and planting anti-tank obstacles; at the rate they are going it will be 2063 before they have as much as Russia has built. They also are now debating a law that will allow them to conscript prisoners (most of whom are in jail for avoiding conscription!). I can't wait to see how CNN and BBC run interviews with "heroic" former Ukraine convicts.... There is so much crow being eaten I just can't fathom how the Biden Admin. will get it all down. 😂

  9815. Yes, and no. Yes, this is the beginning of the offensive but today isn't D-Day. They are probing; once they know where they want the hammer to fall, everyone will know because it will rain artillery in every sector (to mask the exact spot) for hours or even days. I'd love to know how the guys who get the recon in force orders feel? "Go forward until the enemy shoots at you so the rest of us will know where they are." I'd ask such a person but never can because they are all dead...

  9818. There are reports that they were wearing Russian uniforms which, if true, is a war crime under the Geneva Convention. Surely they knew this and likely didn't plan on surviving very long after contact. No wonder the State Department is strenuously denying any involvement. If it is proven Ukraine sent them, Zelensky may be open to being arrested on war crimes.

  9820. I can assure you, when the war comes to NATO, France, Spain, Italy, Greece, Denmark, Iceland, Portugal and Turkey will opt out and tell US and UK "y'all on your own". Poland will fight as will Canada (tied to UK at the hip); Germany and Norway MAY fight. The Slavic republics are toss up as Serbia is right there just itching for some payback. Biden said a year ago "I don't want to start a war with Russia", but he already has...

  9823. I always felt that the immediate post-war time in Russia would have a lot of drama. A 40K-strong force of the best shock troops on Earth now idle with no cities to storm; what do they do? Go into regular Army and be bored for little pay? Prigozhin would have a major problem on his hands if he didn't find useful work for his private army and no country, not even Russia, would want such a force sitting around with nothing to do. I guess the drama timeline was moved up...

  9824. I thought Ukraine was ready to talk?? RU just going to take it all back.... what's the point? PR?

  9825. Russian Parliament just passed a law that private armies must be under Military control. No surprise as this was Putin's decision last week and Prigozhin no doubt was well aware it would soon become law. He had to move immediately or never move at all. His timing was perfect----the execution----left a bit to be desired...

  9826. A vid I saw yesterday was recorded by a person in his apartment watching the security system channel on his TV, he saw two recruiters move towards the door of a neighbor, and mess with the electrical box so the units lights went out. They then moved away out of sight; when the man living there soon came out to check his fuse box, they grabbed him. I know the West media wants the world to think everyone in Ukraine wants to fight Russia, but that is just not true at all.

  9829. I knew it. Biden doesn't have the authority to start a war with Russia. I knew this would be the result, Biden would have to go before Congress to get authority or he could start the war and have 60 days to get authority. But there are only two justifications: 1. Previous authorization or 2. We are attacked. Presidents can't start their own wars.

  9833. High rates = higher payments and EV's already too bloody expensive. That said; if you want the unpopular ones like the Mercedes EQ-series, dealers are practically giving them away with heavily subsidized finance rates and lease payments that are absurd for their MSRP. Compare that to the popular ones like the Hyundia's or Kia's and you'll be paying the exact same payment. A leather-lined German luxo-barge or a plastic and vinyl filled Kia = same price. Who would do that??

  9837. The moment such movements take place, NATO will enter the war. Biden will not allow Ukraine to be completely crushed in the same year he is trying to get elected. He will do whatever he needs to, say whatever he needs to, make up whatever he needs to, in order to get Congress approval to go to war with Russia.

You don't have to make a new car "look at meee, I am the future!!" all stupid and ugly looking just to be your "EV" model! Its a motor, just put it in there in place of the gas one! Make the car normal! Make the door handles normal! Make the steering wheel normal! Don't make me learn a new stupid OS just to turn up the volume! Don't put a 42-inch plasma in the middle of the dash where the corners bang my knees! Stop "fixing" isht that was never broken! The human body has not changed, just the motors in our cars!!

  9844. This is true. Americans don't much notice billions of dollars flowing, but they absolutely DO notice gallons of their soldiers' blood flowing. Biden knows he can get a year or two of spending without anyone much caring, but he'd never get Congress to approve even the loss of 1000 American soldiers.

  9845. The ROC has long been a strong base of support for Putin. They don't want all that "Western" secularism, baby-momma's with 4 kids all with different last names, LGBTQ stuff with 10 year old boys becoming 10 year old girls. They don't want all that in their country so they strongly support Putin in keeping it out.

  9849. Stop crying over Trump's words (crude), and talk about the point! US has $24T GDP and 5500 tanks. Germany/Britain/France together have $9T GDP (about 1/3rd of ours), but all together only 700 tanks. By relative wealth they should all be able to put 1800 tanks into service. That money is what fuels their universal education, healthcare, and comfortable public housing. It also would be a strong deterrent to Russia WITHOUT us. THAT is the point.

  9851. Do Harris voters realize Zelensky demanded 1000 Tomahawk cruise missiles in his recent "Victory Plan"??? At $4M each, that is four billion dollars on missiles alone (and we are estimated to have maybe 2000 in our inventory). Also, the missile is usually fired by submarine or warship; of which Ukraine has neither. Meaning we ( you, your son or your daughter) would have to fire them for him. This is pure madness and if you vote Harris you are voting for this and all the even greater madness to come....
    1
  9852. You are missing a key point; Ukraine has no independent economy. The US has been paying all its national salaries and pension contributions for three years----it is a wholly owned subsidiary of NATO with no independent means of generating revenue. Only $20B of the recent US $61B package was weapons; assuming that ratio, that means only about $100B of the $300B given by those 50 countries over three years was actual weaponry....."
    1
  9853. Because this time it wasn't just words; Russia has taken action in sync with Putin's words. NATO of course sees this and realized none of them are ready for a war with Russia; they barely have any armaments left themselves as they hastily manufacture them for Ukraine. Also, Biden has no authority to start a war with Russia; only US Congress can. He had to back down....

  9854. What is he waiting for then? Why send in the French Army in June when Russia has taken 10 more cities, just send them now?? Answer: He is blustering.

Only a fool believes NATO is a "defensive" alliance; it is a military alliance like any other and it exists to crush its enemies. If/When this "armored fist" penetrates into Russia, I hope Putin nukes it out of existence.

  9877. I had no idea EU stores their excess LNG, (tens of billions of dollars worth) in a massive gas storage facility inside Ukraine. Ukraine is wired-into the EU at the energy supply level and it goes all the way to the top; Brussels urges EU banks to insure and underwrite the EU gas stored in Ukraine. Ukraine is not Moldova or Azerbaijan or some other place where EU/NATO just trying to make a point by fighting....... Since 2014, Ukraine became EU, if not in membership, but in fact. THAT is why UK didn't want Zelensky to make peace in 2022. Why France wants to fight Russia. Why Scholz ignored Xi's advice this week to make peace. THEY CAN'T LET RUSSIA KEEP UKRAINE AS THEY INVESTED FAR TOO MANY TRILLIONS OF EURO OVER THE PAST DECADE.

  9880. US military intelligence just today says Russia's MIC (safely out of range of anything other than NATO strategic-class weaponry, 2000 miles away in the Urals), is now hitting MONTHLY production numbers, that were ANNUAL numbers in 2022. Just yesterday at Navy Day, Putin announced 30 new warships to be delivered to Russian Navy THIS year (if you know anything about ships, the ship you see delivered today, was started four or five years ago). Their MIC is QUICKLY incorporating lessons learned by combat experience as well as ALL the NATO weapons captured in 18 months (which is pretty much at least one of any type you could name). The Lancet drone now has no peer, no similar weapon system anywhere has its proven combat record (taken out multiple Leopard 2s) and NATO still cannot stop it. Its new variant, the Izdelie-53 have a new tube launcher which can contain up to four Lancets and the drones can relay information between them about armored vehicles and their concentration and attack fully autonomously. Armistice. Now.
    1
  9881. No, Russia is defending itself from NATO (which lets be honest is really the United States). Anyway, this war is already over; the shooting just hasn't ended yet. If the numbers coming in are even half right, Ukraine has lost 20% of its NATO-trained attack force in just 12 days. Their best brigade, the 47th Mechanized with the Leopards and Bradleys, is refusing to attack without air support as they consider it "suicide". African leaders (after some racist reminders by the Poles) are now in Kyiv trying to talk some sense into Zelensky. Let's hope he listens...

Today, with intellectual lightweights such as Sunak in UK, the age-enfeebled Biden in US, a UN far more fractured than in 1948, and leaders everywhere generally concerned with their own futures, there is ZERO chance a better arrangement will emerge after the bloodlust is satisfied. "Abandon all hope, ye who enter here"

  9891. There were reports this morning that spotters saw Mig-31s taking off; spies watch for that plane all the time because it alone carries the Kinzhal. Same report said Kalibr and Iskanders were also in the air. Russia blames UK for "approving" Storm Shadow strike on this bridge which just yesterday they warned UK "any strike on Crimea is a strike on Russia". Putin said there would be a response "soon" and one thing about Putin is he pays his "debts". I doubt Putin will hit London, but if I were any Ukrainian officer above the rank of Captain I'd stay at least 100 feet underground for the next 24 hours.

  9894. Hmm interesting news about the AFU desires for engineering equipment. A smart general would have already gotten all that before his attack, which just confirms what I've been guessing for the past several days. I don't think Napolensky had a real goal in mind other than to go in there and make mayhem. Every day his stated "goal" has changed; on day 2 it was "bring war to Russia", day 4 "embarrass Putin" , day 7 "make a buffer", now its "dig in stay and become an irritant". AFU had no plan because the whole thing was desperation from the start; Syrski just winging it as they go. That said; RU cannot sit back an allow them to build up a mini-Tokmak. That is the mistake Ukraine made last year, so that would be embarrassing for RU to allow that to be done to them. I'm certain they won't allow this and the key to stopping it is FABs. RU may not have enough to operate two Donbas style offensives at the same time, but imho they better find enough air power to turn the Kursk salient into Donbas part 2. They have a little time, maybe a month at most. Strong fortifications take time to build...."

  9902. So too has Ukraine been battered; so much they are forcibly taking boys and old men off the streets to send them to Bakhmut. Problem is Russia has five times the population; so when the smoke clears Russia will have taken huge losses, while Ukraine will no longer have any men over age 15 alive or uninjured. Biden gambled.....and lost.

The truly strong do not have to fight....

I don't carry on my person because I rarely walk anywhere; however there are always two in my car: a pistol for up close and personal protection, and a folding carbine for distance work. It will take decades to get better---America has to build 100 more Supermax prisons and vote out all "go easy on them DAs". The DA's and Judges know there's no room for more prisoners so they are under pressure to let these predators go. Vote for more Federal and State prisons----it is money well spent.

  9917. The Far Left "brain trust" behind this war MUST be held accountable the same way the Necons have been for Iraq 2003. Of course no one will go to jail or even spend an hour in court, but in the media and public opinion, they need to be named, and take their rightful criticism. This was unnecessary war in every way; diplomacy to avoid it was easy. No one would have gotten everything they want, but half a million people would still be alive and the world not thrown into chaos as it has been.

    1
  9925. Two things: CNN stop with the "war crimes"; the US long ago left the high road (if it were ever on it); Biden sent cluster bombs to Ukraine and JDAMs to Israel. Forget that; just drop it. Second: Carlson DID ask about the jailed journalist (who was caught red-handed). I really don't see how an American can argue the history of Russia; what Russian tells America what its history is?? Putin threw out a lot of propaganda, a few things that (imho) are total BS, and a few hard truths. However, the key benefit for us is that we heard it in its entirety ourselves, allowing us to judge and not have it "filtered" by "Elites" who believe they know what's good for us. THAT is the greatest value of this interview to America; it (hopefully) signals the end of ALL of us, Left AND Right, just agreeing to be spoon-fed by people who empowered themselves to do our thinking for us.

Look how tiny those numbers are; and how many gems you think the world wanted in 2020 with all their economies closed due to COVID?? That's why the Central Bank had to play all those games over the past decade to keep the economy afloat because Lebanon simply doesn't generate enough GDP. If it makes them feel better at least they are not Venezuela or Haiti. The former has more oil than Saudi Arabia and the latter miles of perfect Caribbean beaches but both so pathetically run they are starving...

  9929. 16 wives at age 56?? Dang! Here in the United States I'm on only my third wife at age 54 (and she is by far the most awesome woman on earth to me), but the first two almost impoverished me. Western culture really, really doesn't like for a man to have more than one woman; it stems from the Middle Ages when the wealthy landowners were financially able to have multiple women and the peasant men had none. Very dangerous politically to have many poor, frustrated and angry men, so the Church pushed hard on the "one wife for every man" morality idea.

  9930. Obama refused to arm Ukraine in 2015 because he said: "Russia has escalatory superiority, no matter what we give Ukraine, they can surpass it meaning Ukraine will simply be destroyed in the process..." Y'all should've listened to him..."

  9931. Too young a fool is she. At Stalingrad, the Russians had to post police officers at the cemeteries to prevent the surviving citizens from digging up and eating the freshly dead. All the horses, dogs, cats, and rats had long been consumed; and rather than surrender to the Germans, the people began to eat the dead. That is the measure of the resolve of a Russian.

  9932. We did at the start of the war; they just routed it via China.

  9933. Lol, they'll give it back in the negotiations; I think RU took twice as much land in Donetsk yesterday than this island. Just a show for the NATO summit to convince whoever will still listen they have some life left in them😂😂

  9934. Well, we all know the point now, right from Zelensky. In 1945, the Imperial Japanese Navy, fully aware the war was unwinnable and down to their last capital ship, sent the super battleship Yamato directly at the US Navy invasion fleet at Okinawa. With only enough fuel to reach its destination, none of the 2000+ sailors aboard expected to return; their only goal to meet the US Navy in a glorious 200 ships vs. 1 ship battle where they would go down fighting and become an eternal legend. What choice did they have? Surrender and let the Americans take the largest warship in human history home as a prize? Never. Zelensky was inspired by this historical occasion and-----for the first time ever in my life----I kind of respect him a little bit now...."

  9935. I'd love to know how the guys who get the recon in force orders feel? "Go forward until the enemy shoots at you so the rest of us will know where they are." I'd ask such a person but never can because they are all dead...

  9937. He is panicking; no other explanation for him to blurt that out and embarrass himself. It's too late for Ukraine now anyway, even if US approved more aid, the first shell wouldn't get to Ukraine until April. Russia took two more towns yesterday, that's 5 towns in a week. That's why Macron is flipping out

  9938. The Ukraine war has revealed NATO and the West to be much weaker than believed two years ago, and weakness invites challenge. All over the world, those cowed by the West and Israel for decades now move like they have a purpose

  9939. That folding roof mechanism is just GUARANTEED to not be working in 4 or 5 years. You are talking a $66K convertible supercar. The roof mechanism on a convertible Ferrari 488 Pista probably costs $30K ALONE. You simply cannot reasonably expect such a mechanism to work reliably for very long---there is no such thing in life as a "free lunch".

  9940. Ukraine is digging up the long dead to bury the freshly slain. The size of Texas and not enough room to bury the dead. Wow...

  9941. In 2033 will the US media still call the regions Russia annexed under THEIR law, "Ukrainian land"?? You know, like the former Native American lands we annexed and now refer to as "United States"?
    1
  9942. Just read between the lines over the past few months and the picture becomes starkly clear: NATO is ratcheting down arms for Ukraine because they are planning to use their output themselves. Why bother sending a missile to Ukraine when you can just fire it at Russia yourself? All those strikes we are seeing in Crimea have "NATO" written all over it. They gave Ukraine a chance with the offensive and it failed; remember when Germany said Ukraine wasn't "using our weapons right."? Then recently Ukraine telling its allies to "shut up" as they "know how to fight Russia"? When you need a tough job done its usually better to just do it yourself.

  9943. There will be no Ukraine after Russia gets done with them

  9945. This is RU militarizing the northern border now that nato allows its equipment to attack Russia proper. New status quo….”

  9946. That one guy just contradicted himself: "...if we don't support Ukraine, Russia will go after Moldova, Latvia...etc. This will put NATO directly into a fight with Russia, and believe me we want to avoid that, and they want to avoid that " Easy to spot propaganda when those spouting it openly contradict themselves.
    1
  9947. In many ways, everyone reading this has no idea what a world without NATO looks like because they've never lived in one. Trump is extremely flawed, but sometimes in life, the wrecking ball you tried to avoid, knocks down the wall you never would have on your own....

  9952. Kiev Zhuliany airport was bombed yesterday and Patriot failed to stop it; video of Patriot missile parts falling on Kyiv traffic damaging cars. We know it wasn't Iskander missile parts because if it had been, there would be no identifiable cars left.

  9959. Rome had an empire that spanned three earths, using travel time as a comparative factor to 2024.

  9973. I would need a lot more than CNN to believe this. The amount of retractions and corrections on both sides has gone up by a massive amount the last few weeks. The big miisle strike last weekend: Ukraine said "7 dead, 30 wounded", when it was actually 40 dead, 158 wounded.

  9974. just consider this first 200 square km RU has taken in less than a week to be shaded in red diagonal lines. It will be a "DMZ" in a few years, where no one Russia or Ukrainian lives. By 2030 it will resemble the surface of the Death Star.

  9976. We have to see how Biden Administration reacts. If they are silent or say "so what", it means they approved Ukraine breaking the agreement not to use donated NATO weapons to attack Russia. If the US comes down hard against this; then maybe it doesn't go beyond this weekend. Pray for the latter...

  9979. There was more interest in Putin's Peace Proposal a few days ago than the West Media is letting on. Some NATO leaders thought it was good enough to start the negotiation process, but Ukraine wants one more try at an offensive (near Kharkiv) to see if they can push the balance a little more in their favor.
    1
  9980. The Wehrmacht did the same when it was all falling apart for them too. The V1 and V2 "Vengeance" weapons did a lot of damage, but didn't change a thing. Same here. The parallels between Ukraine's nationalists today and Germany's National Socialists of 80 years ago are so numerous and deep they can't be coincidence..."

  9983. Several months ago, some "partisans" crossed over the border near Belgorod in US Humvees and shot up the border checkpoint. The United States was VERY angry about this clear violation of Ukraine using its donated equipment to attack Russia. AFU tried to say it was "partisans" but that didn't get very far with Biden, and you never saw this happen even ONCE again. If proven, AFU may have cut their own umbilical....

  9984. All Genesis products remind me of those "house brand" power tools you see at Wal Mart or Costco. It looks just like a Makita or a Craftsman, you flip over the box and the specs are identical to the top brands. You pick one up and hold it and it feels about the same as a Black and Decker, etc. However it costs 20% less than all those. You know in your heart the others are better; they've served you well over the years, but you wonder if they are worth the extra $100 over the house brand tool. You can't find any objective reason NOT to buy the cheaper one so you do. This car more than any Genesis reminds me of that. It has the shape of a Macan or Stelvio or X3, the details are similar (even the twin exhausts in the rear valance), with just a few things here and there so its not a perfect copy. Inside everything "looks" nice, but you know Hyundai products aren't exactly known for their materials (or engines) holding up over several years. It's just that feeling of "the only reason I'd choose this is to save a little money". Nobody in a Macan or Stelvio looks at this and thinks "I should have gotten that instead", and nobody currently using a Makita looks at the house brand tool and thinks that either.
    1
  9985. "...by years end"??? Ahahahahah! Is WSJ paying attention? This war is ALREADY over; the shooting just hasn't stopped yet. By year end those F-16s will be landing in Kiev, Russia. The "spring offensive" is a failure of epic proportions; Russia has smashed the best NATO has to offer so badly the Ukrainian 47th Mechanized (with the Leopard 2s/Bradleys) has refused to attack saying that doing so without air support is suicide. Ukraine has taken almost 10K casualties in two weeks. WSJ is living in a "Matrix" of its own creation.

  9987. LOL this guy is absolutely historically tone-deaf virtually every time he makes a public appearance.

People in other States see this, now everyone steals there too. In a few years, the whole country is taught to steal and now stores everywhere have to lock everything up. California..... gift that keeps on giving.

  9991. Zelensky having a tantrum saying he "rejects" the basic plan Vance talked about (ceasefire, DMZ, etc.). Like its up to him; they only reason he can reject anything is he knows there are about $5B in more weapons coming to him from Biden, and some tanks from Spain, and a few more bits from the EU. Once all that ends he won't be in any position to "reject" anything...

  9992. Hmm, YT won't let me post that Belorussia was part of the Red Army in WW2..... The West Media censorship on this war is beyond anything I've ever experienced in my life.

  9997. There's a big 100+ year family dealership with several brands near me. Their reputation isn't worth BS'ing people with markups or stupid games. I bought a 2 year old CPO from them yesterday. I considered new, but honestly after watching this and a few other channels the past few months, I just don't want to waste my time talking to a dealer that is full of it. In my opinion, the big domestic places (The Ford, Chevy, Ram) and Kia dealers are the ones most likely to give you garbage. The Land Rover, Audi, Benz places are just not interested in pissing off their customers for $5K or $10K when these people have been coming in every three years rolling out with $80K+ product. The Alfa Romeo place had dam good deals on a Stelvio and I almost went that route (Alfa WANTs to make people happy!). I don't bother with the others; who the hell wants a Kia anyway?

  9998. EV's burning down ships, houses, storage facilities.... There will be more global warming from all the battery fires than what was saved by not emitting CO2.

It isn't legal here. Just keep it to inside the house for the season. What is so hard about that? As to the gun, TX has some of the most lenient gun laws in the country; how the heck can it be "unlawful" when here you can open carry no permit just follow a few simple rules?

Zelensky pretends to be "Democratic" but his entire life everyone does as "leader" says. Don't work like that in the United States of America; Joe Biden can't start a war with Russia or even do anything that risk starting such a war without Congressional Authorization Remind Zelensky we have laws...."

It joins another 100,000 man steamroller already awake near Kupiansk, and both only await the word from Shoigu to "Go;" Ukraines NATO army, now fixed in battle inside a trap, will be unable to respond. Only fat, 57 yr old men in the Territorial Defense units stand in the way of the twin steamrollers. The Doom of Ukraine is upon us...

  10009. RU using ancient 60 year old MT-12 anti-tank gun with remarkable efficiency. How? Having a drone do the spotting, the gun can be hidden in a basement with just an opening in the wall for the muzzle; even a man walking by wouldn't notice it. Fired directly it only has 1km range, but elevated it now has 8-9 km range and with coordinates from the drone, it can put 100mm HE shell on any Ukranian in range. They have THOUSANDS of such guns, and hundreds of thousands of cheap HE shells. The West laughed loudly two years ago when Russia pulled thousands of 60 year old weapons out of storage; we haven't heard any laughter in almost a year now...

  10015. I was right. The NATO nation hosting Ukraines Su-24 is Poland! However Ukraine launches the planes from their territory, they fire the storm shadows, then immediately turn and land, THEN they take off again and go directly to a base in Poland! Russia cannot say they came FROM Poland to attack Russia, but they are now safe from Kinzhal strike. Sneaky b******s!!! 😂

Ummm, yeah go ahead and think NATO can just squash Belarus-----those days are over forever.

  10029. Russia can never beat NATO in coventional attrition war, all know that for 80 years. Thats why nuke deterrent and MAD concept keeps the peace. In Ukraine the West found a willing partner to do the dying in exchange for money and ammo. Ukraine has enough men and NATO enough money to bleed Russia for years. It is possible a nuke will have to be used on Ukraine only to save Russia. NATO cant use Ukraine if it no longer exists. We havent seen this in 80 years, even a history nerd like me has no idea how this could end.

  10030. You are mistaken; firing long range missiles into Russia was the "escalation" and smartly Biden declined.

  10036. This is a complicated one. Hard to expect a Muslim to join the British army when they are always bombing Muslims. Men from India, Jamaica, Trinidad, etc. at least have a long history of the Queen making her rounds, etc. to feel some sense of Patriotism for England. However the biggest lure is money; pay more and you'll get more. Russia is paying like 4 or 5 times the average annual wage in rural areas, and they got 400,000 recruits last year.

  10039. The Challenger 2 is STILL hidden after six months, what good are weapons if Ukraine too afraid to use them? No good at all.
    1
  10040. I'd shudder to think what Russia will do once they nail down who all the players are and follow the strings to the puppet masters. They already fired a Zircon, the fastest hypersonic missile in the world, all the way from Crimea to Kyiv to take out an SBU building yesterday. Even the mayor of Kyiv admitted this morning "we heard the siren, then a few seconds later the explosion..."; the Zircon at Mach EIGHT, is so fast it is enveloped in a "plasma sheath" of ionized air which absorbs radio waves, making it impossible to detect on radar.
    1
  10041. Yeah but no offensive weapons; all ammo and air defense. At this point NATO is basically removing the "proxy" completely; they aren't even hiding it with US Global Hawk providing targeting data and UK Storm Shadow the strike package. Russia has stated clearly for over a decade, they will use nuclear weapons to prevent loss of Crimea. So, either NATO doesn't believe them, or NATO believes it can "win" a nuclear war with Russia. As a child of the 80s, that terrifies me, but apparently a new generation is now in charge of NATO and they see things differently. I hope they are right.
    1
  10042. Just look the other way, NATO. That region is none of your business, and you have enough on your plate with Russia, Iran, NK, and China already.... Move on, nothing to see here.
    1
  10043. The ones who stayed in Avdiivka all this time were waiting for the Russians to liberate them; RU has been extracting the whatever civilians of the 1000 or so remaining they come across. It is actually slowing them down to take the time to save their people.

  10045. If you read between the lines, you'll understand why MTG hates this bill and Johnson was no big fan of it himself for a long time. Of the $60B for Ukraine, $18B just puts back weapons Biden already gave them months ago. So in American warehouses with big empty spaces, $18B will go directly to Lockheed Martin to fill those empty spaces back up. $12B goes directly to Zelensky to pay his Kingdom's bills. Another $12B is for fresh ammo and equipment for Ukraine's army. That may sound like a lot, but recall we just fired off $1B worth of missiles last weekend shooting down 300 drones. Russia sends that in two nights, so that $12B won't even last the summer. The DEMs will be right back here in August demanding another $60B from us

  10046. Just coming to check up on his "investment". Blinken is a demon in a $2500 suit. It was diplomats like he and Nuland among others that convinced Zelensky to fight two years ago instead of negotiate a settlement. They did this by promising to financially sustain Ukraine for the duration of the war, and provide all the weapons Ukraine would need. There would be no war but for men like this. Now, their little "pet" grows disdainful of its master; telling him "this money isn't a "gift", we EARNED this by doing your dirty work for you." This is as nauseating an example of naked Imperialist opportunism you are likely to see this century.

  10047. This shows NATO is panicking as it is no longer possible to hide the utter disaster in Ukraine. The Kursk incursion is a devastating failure as RU has absolutely shredded the forces sent in there. We all know the laugher Donbas has become; RU now taking AFU unit banners as they are overrun. Biden admin. all last week taking great pains to say "we knew nothing about it"; who here is still fool enough to believe they'd say that if Kursk were successful??""😂
    1
  10048. Because they are enough to tip the balance in Kursk, and AFU holding Kursk is a big negotiation tool right now; if RU takes it away, NATO has nothing to leverage RU with.
    1
  10049. NATO can't see what it has become. Every time it sees or hears something it doesn't understand or like, it demonstrates its power, and power always invites challenge. Niger coup by all evidence had support of the people. What does NATO do? Send Victoria Nuland to threaten them. Not treat with. Not try to understand. Threaten. People everywhere are trying to seek protection from NATO.

  10052. ...and Joe Biden just casually gives them away, making himself a "war criminal" by his own words, undercutting four decades of US/Western leadership in getting them banned in the first place, and allowing Russia leeway to open the floodgates on using their own vast stocks of such weapons. Who here has any faith in whatever tattered shreds of mental acuity are left in Biden's age-addled brain?
    1
  10053. POWs are not supposed to fight again as condition of their release. So AFU exchanging same # with RU means they lose 115 guys from a much smaller pool than RU does; shrinking their army by a bigger % with each exchange. Putin wins again...."

  10054. Word is Belorussia is building camps near an existing military base to hold up to 24K soldiers and Wagner is estimated to be at 25K strength. Prigozhin has said for over a year the Russian MoD have bungled this war; now with a base in Belorussia (and Lukashenko fully aware that NATO was planning to overthrow him), maybe he'll get his chance to march to Kiev and show Shoigu (and the World) how its done? Prigozhin will take Kiev and bring Zelensky and his NATO masters to their knees. After the negotiations cementing Russia's victory over her NATO tormentors, Prigozhin will come before his master, Putin. He will bow, and apologize for any embarrassment caused, for the Russian lives he stole, and tell Putin that he knew his words were falling on deaf ears and the only way to show that he was right was to crush Ukraine himself. Putin will accept his apology and make his student a Hero of the Russian Federation, then have Prigozhin killed.

  10056. This war is over. The only good thing about recent events is they all point to the imminent end of this stupid war. EU says "No" again to Zelensky on long range missile request. That is now four times in the past three days he has been told "no" by US/EU, on long range weapons/approval. Poland said "no more to give", Finland "no more to give", Hungary just blocked EU giving Ukraine Russian money, Serbia just told EU "No, we will not sanction Russia". Netherlands today: "F-16s we donated cannot be used to attack civilian targets (bridges, railways, etc.) inside Russia". Napolensky can't continue the fight with no weapons and no money. Thank God...."

  10057. Ahh, throw cheap drones randomly at civilian offices. While Russia puts Iskander through half a 20-story building-----the EXACT 20-story building they aimed at from 500km away. I'll take that balance.
    1
  10058. So the news today is ATACMS now sent a few months ahead of schedule by Biden. Those bloodthirsty vampires won't give up will they? These are just longer range HIMARS and where Russia has Pantsir, very few HIMARS get past. Pantsir-S1 is quite effective at shooting down HIMARS. Since ATACMS will be flying longer range, and deeper into Russian territory where the Pantsir-S1 has no risk of counter battery fire. I expect most of these ATACMS around critical areas will be shot down. If Ukraine shoots them at bank offices in downtown Moscow they will probably get through. Just add ATACMS to the now impossibly long list of NATO "game-changers".

  10059. My God. The woman at 5:50 not only SOUNDS like my second wife, she kind of LOOKS like her too! I heard the EXACT same thing a decade ago: wants the "traditional" male, but also wants "freedom" from the traditional roles SHE MUST PLAY. Seriously? That is the female equivalent of "yes baby I want to marry you, but I want to be able to bang random strange on the side too whenever I want". 😂😂😂 Yeah, I divorced that one----she's a good mom, no complaints about how she raises our son---but as a wife? NO.
    1
  10060. F-16 , the previous "game-changer" , didn't even last a week and her we go again with "can storm shadow win the war being able to shoot at targets inside Russia?" First, RU been shooting down storm shadow for over a year; Pantsir-S1 and Buk-M2 have storm shadows number. Second, they need US satellite data for targeting and if RU blinds the US satellites, the missile becomes useless. So no, there is no "winning" for Ukraine in this, or any parallel universe..."

  10083. Weeb, you really ought to explore the main reason the West has underestimated Russia for centuries and Putin in particular for two decades. Anglo-Saxon nations look down on Slavic nations for centuries----if not a millennia or more. THAT is why from the day this war started, all you hear is "drunks", "poorly-led", "conscripts", "equipment doesn't work", "can't mass a large army", "pilots are no good" , "tanks are no good", "only have shovels", etc. You could look up the words of Hindenburg and Bismarck in 1914 about Russia, read them aloud, and they would sound EXACTLY like what we've heard from NATO leadership for the past two years. Hitler said the same on the eve of Barbarossa: "...rotten stinking edifice" he called Russia. NATO does NOT respect Russia. NEVER HAS respected Russia. Likely never WILL respect Russia. THAT is why they will NEVER defeat Russa.

  10084. My only complaint is you use the word "Risk" in the title (just as you do when you review Alfa Romeo's). I think this does a disservice to JagUar and Alfa----there is NO objective reason to consider these "riskier" than any other European make so why put that in the title??? Yes, I'm biased---I have a 2011 XJ still running smoothly with only the water pump being replaced and I have a 2017 Giulia with 27K miles and I've replaced-----nothing.

  10091. Do most Americans really see the world this way? The way our "elites" see it? Taiwan must be given billions in weapons because China can't get ahead of us. Ukraine must be given billions in weapons because Russia can't get ahead of us. Israel must be given billions in weapons because Iran can't get ahead of us. Boris Johnson said yesterday: "...if Ukraine falls it will be a catastrophe....it will be the end of Western Hegemony..." Does the average Joe American believe Hegemony is worth his wealth (and his life) to preserve?

  10093. We've been hearing now for 10 days how Ukraine is "pushing deeper" but that "bulge" has not changed in shape or size since Aug. 11th. There may be slight differences depending on the bias of the channel, but all Western ones seem to be the same, all non-Western ones seem to be the same. Today, Syrsky announced AFU has "1200 sq km" captured territory in Kursk and a week ago CNN/BBC et al were saying "1100". So, either Zelensky is playing 4D chess and Syrsky is a modern day Hannibal, or a lot of that Western stuff pouring in there for a week now is being chewed up for little gain."

  10095. All this back and forth can't change the harsh math. Ukraine has 25K-45K for this "operation" with zero reserves (they had to rush some troops back up to the border with Belarus last weekend when Lukashenko got angry at them). The RU army based at Kursk (that was preparing to invade through Sumy) is about the same size, that's why the back and forth the last three days, no one can overpower the other. That time is over now. More units have arrived and more are coming every minute. Once RU has the force advantage we all know what will happen. AFU can't cross anywhere else easily because this was the only point where the mines were removed (and they don't have another offensive army to do it with anyway). The hard truth cuts both ways..."

  10104. You can tell NATO has been "winging it" for two years; they had no plan "A" and no plan "B" (if the counter offensive failed). They had no plans at all for this war. Everything they try, when it fails, they try something new; now the "don't attack Russia" is coming off because they are losing badly. The whole reason for the limitation was because Biden wanted avoid WW3. If you sell weapons to a country, you can say "I'm not involved, I just sell", if you GIVE weapons to another country, you are no different than Iran arming Houthis-----you are waging a proxy war (which means you are part of it).

  10105. The Russians CNN made you believe were stupid, vodka-swilling, incompetent conscripts that would run at the first sight of a Leopard, actually aren't. They had 9 months to prepare and all are fully trained professional soldiers or reservists. The choppers are on the defense now, hovering over friendly territory 10 km away where Ukraine doesn't even know are there. The Russians are also tactical masters; they allow the Ukrainians to advance, then shoot rockets that drop mines behind them, then pound them with artillery and drones. When the Ukrainians retreat , they run over mines that weren't there when they drove in. Russia is utterly annihilating them because they are NATO-trained but zero experience.

Ukraine has 150 Western tanks, Russia has 500 T-90Ms and even more T-80BVs, plus vastly more artillery, ammo and a ten to 1 advantage in fighter aircraft (plus Su-27 or 35 will wipe the floor with a Mig-29). It will be a slaughter of Ukrainian Armed Forces.

  10112. RFK Jr, said the quiet part out loud yesterday; I'm sure every Biden supporter heard it. At this point, I think ALL Biden/Ukraine war supporters know full well the US doesn't have "clean hands" in all this....they just don't care. They want to squash Putin. Period. It doesn't matter to them the level of complicity the US may have or the degree to which we've kept this going by blocking all negotiation attempts. Putin is the target, and to Biden and his base, the Ends justify the Means.

  10127. I'm really conflicted about this. Humans have been displaced by war, famine, politics, etc. for as long as there have been more than two human settlements; 99% of the time through no fault of their own. However, listen to her response to the legitimate question about why should she be allowed to stay when it was clear her resettlement was temporary? She dodged the question and just gave the standard answer "we have behaved, we want to stay, etc." Here in US we are being swarmed by people from South American countries in exactly the same manner; politics, economic deprivation, everything under the Sun is driving them to the US. You ask them, why should we accept you? They give the same generalized "humanitarian" answer. That's fine. However, that answer works for everyone; by that logic the entire population of Guatemala should be allowed into the US; the entire population of Syria should be allowed into Denmark. What makes any one person's situation different than another?? The answer is none. Go home. It harms your country more in the long run for all of its productive citizens to simply leave when things get tough. Eventually the only people left are the few very powerful, and the multitudes of very weak----just like Venezuela.

  10146. There's a 50/50 chance this was staged so Russia can use it as a pretext to wider action on Kyiv. Attacking Moscow is the dumbest thing Ukraine could do as these little drones do zero damage to Russia's war effort and only enrage the population to support harsher response. Based on todays reports about the bombing of the airport in Kyiv and the rumor that a Kinzhal took out Ukraine's Intelligence HQ in Kyiv last night, If I lived in Kyiv, I'd make sure I lived far from any airport or government buildings.

  10155. I heard of this on another site earlier this morning, but unless West Media picks it up, few pay attention; and if West Media picks it up, the pro-NATO bloc gets very angry at them spreading "negative" news about Ukraine even if its true. It is abundantly clear it is time to start discussing how to save what is left of Ukraine from the United States...

  10160. That's what the US was planning to do as soon as Ukraine was in NATO, right? You know....the whole reason the war started.
    1
  10161. NATO made its play for Ukraine and it has failed. Empires always vie for opportunities to gain advantage over each other, but once it becomes obvious the gambit won't work, the smart thing to do is cut your losses. In 1963, the USSR made a gamble that the US lacked spine and went for Cuba; once it became clear the US was willing to go to war over it, they backed down and cut their losses. In 2022, the Biden Administration made a gamble that Russia was weak and if Ukraine would provide the men, NATO would provide the weapons and the Russians could be easily kicked out of Crimea with not too much expenditure in lives and treasure. That gambit has failed; NATO now locked in a rapidly escalating war of attrition beyond anything they imagined two years ago. If NATO doesn't accept the ploy didn't work and just cut its losses, MILLIONS will die over the next four years; and the end result will be the same.

  10162. I've known for decades that to get a good sense of the reality of the United States, you have to read opinion from outside it. For me that usually meant UK news and opinion as the Germans and French typically didn't really spend much time thinking about the US unless they had to. However this gentleman's analysis is quite refreshing and I don't know how I stumbled upon him but this is good perspective.
    1
  10163. This Administration is so laughably inept they always reach new lows. This is a "very, very serious issue" , but in 2023 when South Korea sent 500,000 155mm shells to Ukraine, it was no "serious issue" then? This is a direct consequence of actions taken by the Biden Administraion.

  10176. No money = No war. HOWEVER, this will make things MORE dangerous in the short term. Zelensky is desperate, and desperate men do desperate things. The "chatter" on Telegram from both the Ukraine and Russian sides has been bananas the past month. The rumors Austin was wounded by a Kinzhal in December. The rumors of Zaluzhny being fired (turned out to be true). The POW plane shootdown by Patriot missile (turned out to be true). Vicky Nuland rushing to Kyiv last week. Latest is Macron suddenly cancelled his trip to Kyiv two days ago for a "security threat". He was going to sign a "security agreement" with Zelensky but didn't go. Some French sources say Ukraine was going to assassinate him and blame it on the Russians ( France and Russia have been very heated since the Iskander wiped out 40 French mercenaries last month), to bring France (and the rest of NATO) into the war. We are going to see a bunch of "crazy" over the next few months as the Endgame in Ukraine is settled.

  10177. This war will be among the worst foreign policy disasters of the United States. The repercussions will be immense and will last decades, possibly even a century. In less than two years, Russia has obtained intact examples of virtually every NATO armored vehicle currently extant. Every anti-tank, and anti-aircraft weapons currently extant. Every artillery system, whether projectile or rocket based, currently extant. Most American combat drones currently extant. Not only that, the electronic warfare suite of NATO weaponry from the cheapest drone, to the most expensive missile are now recorded digitally for the next generation of Russian engineers to study. Only the US Navy hasn't had her "skirt lifted" to the degree the Army and Air Force has in this war. Russian weaponry in 2053 will trace their ancestry in propulsion, navigation, targeting, and avionics to lessons learned from the Ukraine war. Biden will be regarded on the level of Benedict Arnold in terms of how much of America's knowledge and intelligence resources he gave away in this ill-fated adventure.

  10178. The Democrats have been calling Trump an "enemy of Democracy" for 8 years now. However, if they are involved at any level in either directing or fomenting these attempts on Trump's life, it is clearly they who are the enemies of Democracy. You may hate Trump, but if enough people vote for him and he gets those EC votes and wins, that is Democracy in action.

  10182. Why does he impress the Russian people?? Because he ALWAYS puts them first! Such a crazy concept I know, to the minds of the Western "elites". Look at USA; citizens by 80% margin want our borders sealed and us to have legal immigration that benefits us, where we pick and chose who to allow in and with a reasonable (small) number of asylum seekers allowed each year. Simple, right? Wrong. 70 years and we can't get our leaders to do it, because they always have some ulterior motive or "know what's best for us". Putin doesn't do that; he is the will of his people. I wish we had a President like that.

  10184. No such thing as a "civilian" ship if Ukraine has any level of control over its cargo. NYT reported yesterday that they are about to send female troops to face Russian Storm-Z, Akhmat, and Spetznaz. If they are that desperate, they'd smuggle weapons in baby food jars....
    1
  10185. Both of my parents were from Jamaica, and (old) people have been asking me if I'm really "black" for 45 years. What Trump is trying to do is distinguish "African American" (i.e., descendant of American slaves) from all other Black immigrants who have come to this country of their own choice (which, tbh, didn't really take place to any significant degree until beginning in the 1950s)." President Coolidge's Immigration Act of 1924 made it all but impossible for a non-European to legally immigrate to the US. It is a common theme among white's of Trump's generation; that a black person who legally immigrated to the United States is "different" than a black person who is a descendant of slaves. That theme doesn't work anymore as virtually all who subscribed to it are now in Valhalla..."

  10186. Anyone not blinded by hatred for Putin or the propaganda of NATO knew there is no way Ukraine could defeat Russia. Napoleon and Hitler couldn't defeat Russia. Even NATO knew it too; just listen to the words of Blinken this week saying the same thing he said 18 months ago. "Opportunity to degrade Russia's military"---his words not mine. US NEVER expected (or tried) to "win". Just weaken Russia as much as possible. Putin, of course knows this, which is why he never once broke a sweat. This damned war is over. The Abrams will never arrive as Biden realizes it'll just burn on the field like the Leopard 2/Challenger 2. No need to delay calling it; this is over and Russia has won.
    1
  10187. US is giving weapons to its proxy, Ukraine, which they then fire at Russia. This results in large loss of life for Russia's military (but ONLY military----the restriction of NATO weapons to not be used inside Russia is meant to prevent NATO directly causing the deaths of Russian civilians). Iran is giving weapons to its proxy, which they then fire at US/UK, and so far they seem to be playing by the US's own "proxy war rules" and attacking ONLY military targets. If US now attacks Iran directly, because Iran's proxy attacked the US military, it undercuts its own "rules". Russia has not (so far) attacked US even though Ukraine, the USs proxy, has caused many tens of thousands of casualties to the RU military.

  10190. Wow 290hp/267tq from that 3.5 V6 is okaaay, but any run--of-the-mill 2.0T four cylinder is equaling or beating that by a large margin (esp. the torque figure). Those turbo fours get much better fuel economy too. Heck GM has a 2.7T four that makes over 80 MORE ft-lbs of torque than this and can tow 9,000 pounds or more!! I'm a big Acura fan but objectively speaking the V6 here is now outclassed at this price. A $33K Kia Telluride has a V6 of almost identical performance and you are dropping almost TWICE as much for the same engine? I love the look and the features but I would not buy this. At $60K for this in 2022 I would need a PHEV 4 in the 400hp/400tq range, similar to the T8 in a Volvo.

  10191. About time Russia destroyed the port in Odessa and blockaded it completely. For over a year I scratched my head how Putin could allow his enemy to sell its resources, funding its war against Russia, and have the ability to stop it but not do so. Well, the murder of the family on the Kerch bridge was the last straw.... Ukraine now has no port.
    1
  10192. Hearing rumblings about "secret" (not anymore I guess) talks between US and Russia to end this before it gets really ugly. If you look at the map of Zaporizhzhia on June 6th and compare it to that of today, there is NO change at all. Ukraine may have one or two farms they didn't have a month ago, that's it. Total failure. Ukraine is now throwing 65K men at Bakhmut in hopes of getting something significant, but Russia has 150K there so at most it'll be another "meat grinder" that Ukraine will lose again. I knew this would not go past 2023.

  10201. I actually believe him this time. Not because he wouldn't direct the CIA to try it, but because Prigozhin is probably the least "flippable" Russian after Putin himself. Our stupid bungling CIA could never put something like this together; they can't even bomb Nordstream without everyone knowing it was them.

  10202. If you are in NATO and have had enough, we have to DEMONSTRATE. Joe Biden does not think there is anti-war sentiment in the West.

  10203. This is like watching a real life version of "Starship Troopers" with all the male/female humans missing various body parts from fierce battle with the bugs, but still defiant. It doesn't surprise me at all though; Ukrainians are as tough as Russians. Their princes rode the same roads to deliver tribute to the Mongols for centuries, they fought the Nazi's together...it was a Ukrainian Army under Marshall Koniev that smashed the Germans at the Battle of Berlin. If you give them weapons, they'll fight. So the only way to stop a war they can't win, is to not give them weapons. They cannot win this. They told Austin in November they need "$400B and 7 million shells" to win (return to 1991 borders). If you aren't going to give them that, then you are only dooming them for no purpose.

  10204. A year ago there was a chance for peace in Ukraine, too. Is NATO going to arm the Armenians now to keep the war going?

  10205. I enjoyed the video today from a Ukrainian soldiers' GoPro on top of his tank firing at the Russians; the crudely drawn Balkenkruez symbol clearly visible in the bottom of the frame. Are Ukrainian men that stupid and ignorant of history? If I were a Russian soldier and saw that symbol on a vehicle heading toward me, the ghost of my grandfather would enter my body and give me superhuman strength for 60 more seconds to make sure my Kornet blows that monstrosity straight to Hell before I die. I don't expect most Americans to know anything about history as they don't even know their own; however I expect far more from British citizens...

The Times left out the Canadian MREs and "chili" (I can't imagine what eating Canadian canned chili would do to one's stomach----AFU left that on purpose I think), more American ammo, and the perfectly intact T-80A tank with shells lying all about. Anyway, this clip alone shatters at least five Western Propaganda lies: 1. Only AFU is fighting for their "home". That red band is for DPR, so the Russians who took the city are also fighting for their homes 2. Poorly fed. We can see that isn't true. 3. Only have shovels. These troops appear to be extremely well equipped. 4. Poorly led. If that were true, this vid would not exist 5. Low morale. Again, obviously not true.

  10216. This meeting has nothing to do with Ukraine; that round is already won. Russia by itself is already producing almost 3 times as many shells as US and EU combined. This meeting is about the world after the Ukraine war. NATO may take the "L" on this first round, but they are making sure that doesn't happen in round 2 or round 3, and of their opponents in the wars of 2026-2032, North Korea is the weakest. Putin, fully aware of this, is shoring up his supply chain AND making sure NK is a stronger ally 3 years from now.
    1
  10217. NATO and Russia both lie the same, all I know for sure is NATO wasn't on that land 1500 years ago but Russia was. One side doesn't belong there and needs to leave for the war to end...

  10218. I don't really get what the appeal of these salvage builds are. The cars are NOT worth more than you put in when they are done. They can't be insured easily. You spend all this time and at the end you have a $35K Bentley. Admittedly you now can drive a Bentley for half what it normally costs, but it is WORTH only what you put in. I can only see this make sense if you always dreamed of a Bentley, can't afford it, and get a salvage one and then DRIVE IT UNTIL IT FALLS APART.

How many times are we going to have to go through this same process? It is getting to the point Ukraine should have just asked Russia for weapons instead of NATO; it turns out the Russians have all the good ones.

  10222. Watching Russia obliterate the designs of the US Democrats Party, and the UK elites that went along with them is one of the most beautiful examples of just desserts I've ever seen in geopolitical history.

  10226. I just don't understand the US/UK .... eventually they are going to find this line and then what? Back down? Keep going and hope for the best? Even a conventional war writer Russia will result in devastating damage to US and UK territory, and sure we will likely win but the cost will be enormous. Biden needs Congressional approval to declare war and the chances of that are zero, so what is the point??"

  10236. That NYT article last week was brutal; Zelensky has been raving the past few weeks at us that we won't support his "Victory Plan". Part of it was he demanded 1000 tomahawk missiles to bomb deep inside Russia. Those missiles only come from ships or subs, Ukraine has neither, meaning the US Navy would have to fire them for him. Zelensky is mad we won't start a world war for him.... Wow this guy.

  10237. Yes, that is their "Victory Plan". BRICS destroyed that plan...

  10239. "Ukraine begs for Soviet-era weapons after western air defence systems "disgraced." The Ukrainian President has "urged the Western nations to dig deep and pull out their Soviet-era weapons. Western weapons have not been as effective as they were extolled in Ukraine's conditions." This is absolutely hilarious. NATO's 70-year "brand" of having the best weapons on Earth has been dashed just like Bud Light beer. The Russians have exploded the myth of Western technological superiority.

  10241. I hope NATO loses because they started this all, but I don't agree with taking out a Head of State to win a war. Zelenskys intransigence may be prolonging the war, but any consequences to him for his decisions should come from his own people. Just like we are now holding Trump accountable; if another country imposed consequences on him for his rebellion attempt it would not be right. Same with Zelensky.

  10242. Kyiv hides their weapons inside civilian areas as that is the only way to keep them from being destroyed.

Otherwise, $59K for an SUV that does 3.5/3.8 to 60 is not available in the ICE world; closest may be X3M Comp. or Stelvio QF at around $75K ( of course either of those will have luxury and handling performance two planets apart from the Mach E). To me, 90% of what you used to only be able to get in a "luxury" brand is available on every car now: heated/cooled seats, steering wheel, leather everywhere, advanced safety tech, etc. For day to day use by 90% of the non-enthusiast car buyers who couldn't care less about Formula One-level handling, this would be all they'd ever need and then some. Well done Ford!

    1
  10259. Ukraine stupid to gather so much in one place, Russia has satellites and missiles that can reach any part of Ukraine.
    1
  10260. Putin has no problem with EU; he has a problem with NATO. Can someone from NATO tell me why they need to be in Ukraine with their Aegis Ashore missiles and Naval warships in the Black Sea/Sea of Azov???
    1
  10261. Of course this is true but I believe Russia has inoculated Iran against losing their nuc sites. Iran can lose other stuff but not those
    1
  10262. Biden should think long and hard about this: If he shuts the border and deports them ALL, he takes away 90% of why people are holding their nose but planning to vote Trump. He will then get the aid to save our 51st State, Ukraine from certain doom under a Russian tank tread. Win-Win!
    1
  10263. "Take a few days to get there.." While Russia took 70 square km yesterday ; and the even bigger Army Group up near Sumy hasn't even jumped in yet. I've been against this stupid proxy war from the start; but even if I were on board, they way it has been done by Biden and NATO will go into the history books as an example of extreme ineptitude and incompetence.
    1
  10264. I've learned over the past two years that Russia and Putin will always tell you exactly what they are doing if you are willing to listen. The entire war, Russia has said their goal is "demilitarization". To most in the West that means something like "take away your weapons" or "disband your army", which is true. However in the Russian meaning, it also means "kill or maim every Ukrainian that could possibly hold a rifle or drive a tank". You scratch your head at the actions of Russia over the past three months, but then you remember that "demilitarization" of Ukraine is the point, and it all makes sense.
    1
  10265. Nothing IDF and Hamas have in store for each other can compare what will happen in the REST of the world if this doesn't end real quick. There are some pretty big marches in a LOT of different countries and most of them aren't friendly to Israel. Even places who ARE friendly to Israel are having some pretty big marches to the contrary. We've already seen several individual murders for one side or the other; we are all standing on a tinderbox and our leaders are the ones playing with matches.
    1
  10266. This "confirmation". Terrorist attack on Turkish arms maker. IDF publicly preparing to hit Iran. A lot of people today going through a lot of pain to distract the world from the BRICS Summit.
    1
  10267. If 140 million people hated Putin, he would not be in power. If even 14 million people hated Putin he would not be in power. Not even a Death Star could keep one man, or one party in power if that many people felt it was worth their life or freedom to live a different way.
    1
  10268. Russia, NK, nor Iran does not allow 14 year old kids to have surgery to turn themselves from a boy to a girl; while many NATO nations allow hormones at that age and surgery at 15 (without parental consent). In my opinion, this is a Crime Against Humanity, yet you freely support it as if it were perfectly normal. Who is "good" and who is "evil" again??
    1
  10269. ... but still gives the free bombs lol
    1
  10270. Armenia asked NATO for "help" just like Ukraine and the answer was "no" so now they are accepting a cease-fire and negotiations. See how simple it is to avoid a war that destroys 500,000 lives? Everyone now thinks NATO will send them $100B in free weapons if they ask, but the world just got reminded that only applies to Ukraine. Because, you know, Putin.
    1
  10271. With the Biden Administration you can only believe about 10% of what it says, however if Austin was basically unconscious for a couple of days recovering, you can't really put that on him.

  10272.  @Sarahj5146  Who is going to birth the Ukrainians of the future if all the women are dead? You?
    1
  10273. How does a woman commit "sodomy" other than with an object?? 13 yr old child. Ugghhhh....at least the $300K cash-only bond will keep her in there forever. Here in Texas we just had a 19 yr old drunk wipe out FIVE people, and he got $150K bond (which he posted 10% and got right out the next day).
    1
  10274. They got $200B, TWICE Russia's annual defense budget in 2023! Now, you tell us after the first month of 2024 they have slingshots and arrows?? TWO TIMES WHAT RUSSIA SPENDS IN A YEAR ON EVERYTHING! Tanks, guns, planes, nuclear submarines, ships, ammo, food, fuel! DOES THAT NOT MAKE YOU WONDER JUST A BIT???
    1
  10275. 10 $2M storm shadows fired, 7 shot down, 3 hit. Two ancient ships in drydock damaged; fire already out by sunrise. Just saw this morning that total US aid to Ukraine since January, 2021 is at $111 BILLION and counting. By next year, Ukraine will owe every American male citizen a 3BR house on an acre of land of our choice and a pretty young wife (who has never been married or had kids) to go with it. Slava Ukraini!!

  10276.  @Amradar123  Just make sure my house has a view of the ocean, and my wife is not older than 25 with dark hair, slave. 😂

  10277. No surprise. It wasn't Jason Bourne; it was a 20-yr old complete amateur and he got almost to within pistol range of Trump. There is no amount of mea culpa that can save her from that level of failure. If the CEO of Boeing resigned due to 737Max, this "CEO" of the Secret Service should share the same fate..."
    1
  10278.  @boink800  So, being "guarantor" meant "yes, we may use your territory to threaten the existence of our eternal enemy Russia"? If so, that was a bad deal for Ukraine. Choosing to be the "little fish" between two sharks never works out well for the fish...
    1
  10279.  @boink800  So, why did Zelensky reject the Chinese Peace Plan from two months ago? CHINA, (not US or UK) steps in place of NATO and provides Ukraine the security it needs vs. Russia. Russia, no longer threatened by the US with the possibility of missiles being moved closer to it, giving it less chance against a US first strike, has no reason to create a buffer zone by force to protect itself from annihilation by NATO. Why not make the smart choice?
    1
  10280.  @boink800  The Russians believe the United States broke it with Aegis Ashore---a "defensive" missile that could easily be made "offensive" (in spite of what US says to the contrary). It shall be settled by blood then...

  10281. IDF has turned humans into wildlife....

  10282. United States is no longer a Christian country, ancient history
    1
  10283. It is a close race; it always is. However if it breaks big one way, my belief is that will be for Trump. The Democrat Party wants to send US troops into Ukraine; it is the ONLY way the troops from other NATO countries will go (and UK, FR, Poland, + the little Baltics all want to go too). NO one will go without the US though, and that can't happen without Congress Approval. If Harris wins and the DEMs get Congress it will guarantee a US Army deployment to Ukraine I cannot believe a majority of the US population wants to risk open war with Russia over Ukraine so I believe Trump will win, and he'll win big.
    1
  10284. Last days of a lost war desperation and "wunderwaffe". Saw on BBC yesterday the thousands of 70 year olds being "trained" for the Front. All of you that supported this should be ashamed of yourselves. History told you five times what would happen, and you just ignored it...."
    1
  10285. IDF makes Putin look like Santa Claus

  10286. Zelensky tried this, but Boris Johnson and Joe Biden told him "if you sign truce with Russia, West will no longer protect you."
    1
  10287. Right when they have Ukraine on its knees? This is for Western consumption; Putin is up to something. With him nothing is ever as it seems.
    1
  10288. You read NYT, Washington Post, Politico or watch CNN and they all tell you "Russia is losing!" or "Russia has lost 200,000 men!". Then you read a defense industry page or watch BBC and a former UK Marshall is on there or a former US General is interviewed, and you hear a completely different story; "Russia is slowly squeezing and Ukraine can't stop them" or "Russia has not lost 200,000 men; maybe 30K to 40K tops". With such wildly varying reports from Western media , how the hell can anyone know how this thing is going??
    1
  10289. Blinken is a Ghoul on a Pale Horse; everywhere he goes only Death follows him. We sane Americans have to vote the entire Biden Cabal of War Mongering Vampires out. It is the only way this war will end before Ukraine reaches the magic number of 1 MILLION casualties.
    1
  10290. Ukraine is running TV adds showing 11 year old boys jumping into a pool, with a voiceover saying " overcome your fear" , and the image switches to soldiers jumping out of an armored vehicle. The outcry in the US for such a monstrous recruiting ad would be deafening, yet our proxy does it and we simply nod and send them more weapons. We have become the monsters
    1
  10291. Yep, proxy war all along. Biden will not recover from this debacle.
    1
  10292. Information Warfare. Both sides are very good at it. Remember the doctored video last week of the Russian T-90M tank being blown up? Totally faked. Kinzhal moves at Mach 10 (possibly higher), while Patriot Pac-3/4 is Mach 4 max. Nothing US or anyone else has can stop it. Period.
    1
  10293. Kyiv will look like that by Christmas. Russia dropping every cruise, super, and hypersonic missile they have on Kyiv every other day now. Patriot is out of the picture so there's nothing to stop them.
    1
  10294. Yet another reminder why Economists prefer scarcity; too much of a good or service is actually bad. In 2100, when there is a fusion reactor in every State, half will get shut down because they make too much power, depressing the price below that which it costs to operate them.

  10295. Its 1821 on the frontier.

  10296. 25 years ago when I was 20, if you could have recorded us in the clubs/bars/raves, did we all look that high and stupid? Most of the people in this video are not reacting to the events around them as if they have any understanding of what is going on. I've never seen an armed man walk towards the police, say and do nothing---not react at all to the commands (and guns in his face), turn around and take several shots like they are bbs until one puts him down. What did the toxicology report say?

  10298. Where exactly is Ukraine "kicking Russian ass"??? Be specific.

  10299. US is backing away from Zelensky because he is the impediment to peace. Three more AFU generals fired today by Zelensky, and all these "stories" suddenly showing up confirming what everyone always knew. The war has failed and Ukraine's sponsors are in CYA mode.

  10301. Trump survived. Plan "C" now..."
    1
  10302. Of course it does. Because it is unnatural. A woman in her 30s - 40s should be busy raising her children and making sure dinner is ready on time for her husband at the end of his work day, not at a singles bar. When you go against Nature, you get weird results.

  10303. I can already hear the strains of "The Imperial March" , as massive Star Destroyers gather with only one purpose... The Empire Strikes Back "

  10304. It isn't just Germany; it is ALL of NATO. All the heavy weapons failing in Ukraine were designed in the 70s and 80s at the peak of the Cold War. They won that war, but the West did nothing for the past 30 years, thinking the USSR is gone we don't need to keep pushing hard to stay ahead. Of course they can re-arm, but it will be 2050 before NATO is where it was in 1990 relative to Russia.
    1
  10305. In life, the simple answer is almost always the right one. It could be something created by life in another star system, that somehow became aware of us around the time the radio or light bulb was invented, putting them no more than about 70 LY away from us. They then built some probes and launched them at the speed of light, (from our perspective this would have been 70 years ago). They are now here buzzing around our planet checking us out. OR. It could be Chinese, Iranian, North Korean, or Russian spy drones.

  10306. How does Russia annexing lands of Russian-speaking people, make me in suburban Cleveland, "insecure"? Or China reuniting with Taiwan?
    1
  10307. Stupid base not even in Jordan; even Google maps shows it clearly inside Syria. It is there for the US anti-ISIS mission so very good chance this was some ISIS guys and Iran had nothing to do with it, because Iran is Shia. Just more US lying and propaganda to justify attacking Iran....nothing more.

  10310. This probably the norm until tech reaches a point information can be beamed directly into our brains via satellite. Putin is just returning the favor: Just six months ago, the entire Western Media apparatus interfered in Russia's elections by telling anyone who'd listen Alexei Nalvany was Russia's God King. Since RU block all Western stuff, only a few techies there using VPN could even see that stuff so the problem was minimal for them.

  10313. Whoa. Bang and Olufsen in an Acura?? That's a first I think----wonder what happened to ELS?? Anyway the B&O 3D system in my Audi is amazing so it shouldn't be a problem here; though I've heard the ELS system is fantastic too.

  10316. I can see a lot of guys who had to buy a RAV4 or CRV for their families trading out to this; they'd be thrilled to get out of those boring Dad-mobiles into something "manly" that can also do everything those do.
    1
  10317. That WAS true; but look what it resulted in....complete failure last summer as Russia easily batted away all those old tanks and vehicles. That's not going to work anymore. Every brand new Storm Shadow UK makes goes to Ukraine...that's real 2023 money, not some dusty junk made before you were born. US just sent GLSDB a weapon so new it just came out of the test phase. Every Patriot we send is brand new, as we long ago ran out of stocks. Ukraine has no 155mm shells to fire as we can't make enough, every one they shoot now is brand new. The justification "we send old and get a new upgrade" is no longer true; to stop Russia requires the same stuff the 2024 NATO military uses and that means current spending that could be used for other current domestic needs.

  10322. Zelensky decison making: 2021 - "Nahh, the Russians aren't really coming; they just massed 50K on our border to scare us." 2022 - "Nahh, I won't take this negotiated settlement offer, UK promised me 1000 Challenger 2's, 10,000 Storm Shadows, and 250,000 155mm shells for free. I can take it all by force what Putin is offering to divide." 2023 - "Nahh, I'm sure only half of this $20B NATO army is needed to break through Zaporizhzhia, the other half can shore up outside Bakhmut. The Russian conscripts in the south will run when they see the first Leopard 2" Anyone else now realize who Ukraine's biggest problem really is?

  10327. As if any Westerner even cared about this man personally...only cared about his politics.

  10328. None of this even matters, looks like some adults in the room at the "Peace Summit" shut Zelensky down and accepted that it's time to talk. That sound you (didn't) hear is 200 million Biden and Sunak supporters shutting the fucc up tonight...

  10330. Germany like "yeah we agree France should fire its SCALP at Russia from inside Ukraine"
    1
  10331. So if the Biden Admin. has such super-capable diplomats they could convince Germany to give up a convicted murderer, they should be able to negotiate and end to the Ukraine War in their sleep, correct? Why don't they?....."
    1
  10332. Can someone explain just why the fucc Sweden was there?? SWEDEN! Since the Napoleonic Wars, Sweden has not initiated any direct armed conflict with anyone, but here in 2024 Joe Biden has them meddling in foreign wars too.... Un-fuccingbelievable."
    1
  10333. It doesn't just look like WW1----in many ways this is an early stage battle of WW3. When I was 22, my day was wake up, go to college, go to work, flirt with cute girls, go home and sleep, wake up and do it again. All these young guys on both sides killing themselves over things that could have been negotiated in the Summer of 2021 with no war. However, leaders with huge egos (Zelensky) and political scores to settle (Biden), didn't want to talk.....they wanted to fight. Stupid war; stupid waste of young lives.

  10334. Scholz wants out. He is done with this war. If it escalates he does not want German cities to be destroyed; they have had their economy damaged the most of all NATO nations. They've paid enough to help Ukraine.

  10335. If RU does not respond to this escalation, NATO will simply do more of it. Like two mafias fighting over turf, RU has to do something to counter this escalation or even their own wise guys will rebel...."
    1
  10336. Precisely. Not a single word uttered by Prigozhin criticized Putin but Western Media was alive with the words "coup" and "rebellion". That's why most Americans hate the media; both sides. They never tell the truth only their desired "narrative".
    1
  10337. Those hypersonic washing machines are devastating. After the war there will be a line of high-end appliances made in China. Top of the line will be the "Kinzhal"; washes your clothes so fast, it is finished before you even start! Will be all the rage in trendy western homes. 😂

Such a shop won't be able to tell them much other than the very basics as they won't have the tools or knowledge to truly inspect the manufacturer specific tech?? Almost every town or city has a "European Auto" type shop....

    1
  10348. I think the dominoes are going to fall soon. Reports say many citizens in Kupiansk are refusing the mandatory evacuation order. Americans don't understand this so let me explain it to you. These are border regions, where Russian/Ukrainian or Ukrainian/Russian hasn't meant much of anything for 1000 years. Ukraine doesn't 100% trust that civilians in the towns won't help the Russians once they arrive, so they have a "mandatory" evac order to limit this little inconvenience.

  10349. "No one would call Donald Trump an intellectual..." LOL. So Fox sometimes says truthful things as well, eh? Trump is just "Idiocracy" 500 years early...

  10350. This is an excellent example of misinformation ; watch and learn kids!
    1
  10351. Biden probably told him exactly what I said yesterday. US President has no authority to start a war; to do something another nation has informed you is an Act of War, Biden would have to get Congress involved. That takes time so I knew nothing would change soon.
    1
  10352. The West can't bring themselves to say it yet, but you can read between the lines. No more "making progress" , no more "slow but steady gains", no more talk of Sea of Azov, Kerch Bridge, "cutting off Crimea". ALL words and phrases of Western ideas of "victory" now absent from the news media for almost a month. Replaced by "long war" and "survive the winter"... Just say it: Russia has won.

  10353. Whoa!!! YT leaves this up but when I say "Russia is stomping Ukraine" they delete it??? 😂😂😂

  10354. 60,000 Ukrainian women being trained in Zaporizhzhia to head to various fronts. It will be even uglier soon; young women blown in half splattered all over the Steppe. That is "equality" I guess... Toddlers will be next.
    1
  10355. War is a "crime" itself. The idea one country actions are more of a "crime" than another is pure BS---killing by violence is the same whether by sword, or bullet or cluster bomb. The winners make the rules. True for all time and Russia is about to prove it once again, after they crush Ukraine. They'll be sitting at the UN like nothing happened. History is written by the winner...

  10360. This generation is the first TL I've been excited about since 2004. However, I just wonder why Honda is playing so conservatively here? 355 hp is nice, but you can get more than that out of a 4-cyl from Mercedes. GM has been getting 460+ out of their 3.0TT V6 for years. I don't see why they didn't swing for the fences; even though its old, Lexus just walked a 5.0l V8 back into the segment. The car has the looks of a lion, but the power of a cub....

  10361. The most important thing we must do right now is to ensure that those in the US and UK most responsible do NOT escape consequences for this example of military adventurism. Of course no one will go to prison, but Biden, Nuland, Blinken, Milley, Austin in US, and Johnson, Cameron in UK, MUST be publicy excoriated in the media for embarking on this disaster.
    1
  10362. Biden cant let Putin win. This is politically existential to Biden. US would bever give away $40B of its best weapons free to anyone but the ones who are fighting Putin. Its all about Putin to Biden and his Democrat Party.

  10363. I'm OK with Israel getting our full support but only if WE control it, not Netanyahu and others like him. They think locally, while their actions have global implication. If we are on the hook for them, WE should control them. Disband the Knesset and Israel becomes like Puerto Rico or the US Virgin Islands. If Israel can't support itself financially, it shouldn't have political and military autonomy

  10370. Selective revisionist BS pseudo history. Only a woman can birth new humans. For 225,000 years this was the no. 1 biological purpose of females in any population. Therefore their value was immense; you could lose a man to sickness or war, but other men could sire children in his place. However to lose a reproductive age woman was a disaster as even if you had many girls or old women, none could become pregnant. THIS is where humanity was imbued with the need to protect its females even more than its males.

  10371. At this point, a psychological test of rational thinking would be to ask if a person thinks giving Ukraine another $50B army is wise. "No" = sane. "Yes" = emergency MH evaluation.

  10373. Ukraine intelligence said today that Kh-101 parts they recovered last night show the missile was made in 2023. CNN/BBC said Russia was running out of missiles a year ago....

  10374. This really is a World War

  10375. I have family members who are Jewish, but you have to understand Zelensky. He has no fear to demand of his sponsors the highest level of assistance; he asks for the Stars and maybe only gets the Moon. Early in the war, he asked Biden to activate the USS Missouri and give it to Ukraine so they could beach it at Odessa and use it to shell Crimea. He was serious...

  10376. Still the same junk they were selling 25 years ago. Looks better though...

  10377. "banned" LOL. It will take a few years for the West to realize it is 2024 , not 1954.... Their Empire is not what it was; it will never be---but they do not yet realize it.

  10378. This is NOT the best, but dollar for dollar it is very, very close. The dynamics are going to be second only to the Alfa Giulia, which is hardly a knock since the Alfa was literally designed by the same guys who designed the Ferrari 488 Pista. The lux won't be Benz level but you will be very comfy. The tech won't be Audi level but all you need is there. The price is right and you can keep it running just by visits to Autozone. Good all around choice.

  10379. "US Intel" on Russian losses , but no "US Intel" on Ukraine's losses. "US Intel" = Caca

  10380. So what? What is 3000 green troops going to do that has US and SK so scared??
    1
  10381. The problem is corruption draining away the strength of the Military when the country needs it most. Look at Ukraine; corruption made its northern border swiss cheese. Russia cannot afford to make mistakes like that because it doesn't have 30 parent countries to come in and save it. Their new defense minister is preparing them to take on NATO, and win ...

  10383. As frustrating as this may seem, this is really what modern policing should look like. Don't chase everyone by car. Let them go, you'll get them again in a few days. If the Taser doesn't work on an unarmed person, don't pull your gun to shoot him just because he's getting away. You'll catch him another day. Larry is an idiot but he shouldn't be dead at the hands of the police.

  10384. If they send that many into Gaza the casualties will be enormous. Hamas knew this would be the response, and is prepared for exactly this. Every street corner will be an ambush, every garbage can a bomb, every window will have a sniper, and drones will descend like flies. In the tight urban confines, it will be a bloodbath.

  10385. It's just the appearance of off road. If that's all you want the Pilot or Pathfinder rugged look models are far better quality. This is still just a Kia.
    1
  10386. This still isn't "proof" those dots are NK soldiers, but I will admit I have not previously seen the Russians attack like that. We've seen buggies, "sons of anarcy", tanks, turtles, BMP, but I can't recall a Russian infantry only assault on foot in daylight.
    1
  10387. No war, talk. Let NATO destroy itself in Ukraine and Taiwan. Keep NATO out of South America and Africa
    1
  10388. If you just go back and watch the CNN from two years ago, Austin and Milley said it repeatedly. "This is our opportunity to weaken and degrade Russia's military". They did not attempt to hide it; that was this war's ONLY purpose (from the Biden Administration's perspective).
    1
  10389. That is it? That's what the West has gotten after almost FOUR months of the "Grand Spring Offensive" that was to break through to the Sea of Azov just in time for the NATO summit in Lithuania on JULY 12th. NATO really believed they would have shattered Russia so completely in just SIX WEEKS that Putin would have been a broken man by the middle of July. The gap between that and reality is the measure of just how massive a failure this offensive was. Past tense on purpose because this thing is over----rain is coming in a few weeks and no one is moving anywhere. NATO openly admits Russia is outproducing it in ammunition and every single one of the NATO-trained brigades with the "wunderwaffe" are engaged and being attritted as we speak. That's all we got for our $100B: Andriivka and Robotyne. Pre-war population 74 and 520 respectively.
    1
  10390. By coming down to Russia's level, the US shows weakness and admits its "high minded" position on these weapons was nothing more than a phantom. All its "precision" weapons; the more humane way of war by US standards, have been countered or defeated by Russia. In the future, when nations like Israel, Iran, China, Taiwan use these weapons; the US will have no standing to object.
    1
  10391. "We dont underestimate our enemy" More wisdom in those few words than in the entire Biden Administration and half of EU Capitals. Ignorance of such a simple truth is 100% of the reason Biden ignored the overture in September 2021 and chose the path to war
    1
  10392. Why? BECAUSE THEY ARE BEING DESTROYED and FOOLISHLY at that! Battle reports coming in all morning say the same thing: Ukraine infantry attacks DESTROYED all along the front. The Russians are using every trick in the book; they leave trenches, Ukraine takes them, and booby-traps kill all the Ukrainians. They drop mines behind them before opening fire, Ukrainians retreat into mines that weren't there 4 hours before. The Russians are schooling them at the tactical level because they know Ukraine has a limited set of offensive options due to their resources, so they stack the deck against those options and murder them. It isn't even "war" any longer; it is slaughter....
    1
  10393. Nowhere to hide in Kursk; completely free of any fortifications, entrenchments, or buildings in which to hide large vehicles. As soon as RU had enough troops to halt the Ukrainians there, I knew they only had one choice: retreat back across the border or be destroyed where they stood....."
    1
  10394. I'm sure Mitsubishi would love for their trucks to NOT be constantly showing up in videos being blown to bits by Russian FPV drones.... Also that vid from Pokrovsk clearly shows how powerful these FPV drones are; the entire front of that van was literally blown off by the first drone. We are so used to watching armored vehicles just shrug off one or two hits and we get the sense these drones aren't that powerful. Then we see what a single drone can do to a civilian truck or van and we realize just how heavily armored tanks, APCs, and IFVs really are.
    1
  10395. I really feel sorry for you "casual Western news" types. I use to be just like you----woefully, pathetically uninformed...
    1
  10396. This just reminds me why I detest that Genesis brand by Hyundai and Kia. They rip off the Bentley logo, rip off Bentley designers, rip off Bentley interior materials, rip off everything about Bentley. They make a cheap copy of a Bentley and then sell it to the Wal Mart crowd as "luxury" product. Hyundai has no hundred year history, won no races, earned no prestige of its own; just piggybacks on the work of Titans and sells the cheap junk to those want to feel like they can get 80% of a Bentley for 20% the cost.

  10397. They likely just waiting to see the outcome of tomorrow's election to know whether they'll be needed or not...

  10398. Entire article is misinformation. Reported.
    1
  10399. LOL. Says whom? Ukraine's own men say they outnumbered 10 to 1 on FPV drones. Can't trust any media these days; you can only trust what the people actually there say.

  10400. When 30 countries give one country all their best air defenses for free and keep replacing the ones lost, you gonna have a hard time achieving air superiority?

  10401. 110 years ago at least FOUR European countries had armies stronger than the US, and two had navies stronger than the US. Y'all been kept infantile so long, you forgot how to care for yourselves
    1
  10402. Yep. Told Biden this two years ago; he didn't listen to me.
    1
  10403. "Fair" negotiations. Look how far NATO has come in just 18 months. In January, 2023 it was all Antony Blinken and "take Crimea" and "cut the land bridge" and "destroy the Kerch bridge". Now, none of that is even remotely possibly in the wildest imagination of a NATO bot, and now its "hopefully we can get 'fair' negotiations.... My how the mighty have fallen..."
    1
  10404. Is that really true? YT deleted my comment when I said exactly this yesterday, and other sites say they'll only send them back "voluntarily".
    1
  10405. The sending of an Iranian warship, not a gunship, not a speedboat, a guided missile frigate, a true "surface combatant" directly into the operational zone of the US Navy, is symbolically HUGE. Militarily, its nothing----its four C-802 supersonic anti-ship missiles would never get through a CSG screen----and it would be obliterated in response with ease. However, its presence one day after the US navy killed 10 of its Houthi allies' sailors, means it is a "show of force". By itself, the US and UK can bully it; however the moment it meets and sails with a Russian warship-----no more bullying by the US or UK. We are witnessing the sights and sounds of history shifting and changing; we are in WW3 and only because it doesn't look like what all expected for 70 years do people still doubt that the world is in such a state.
    1
  10406. Joe Biden just gave a "Why we fight" style speech last night to convince the US to go to war; he won't spend a dime to "save" the very people he just gave Israel the green light to kill en masse. You can kiss those three goodbye right now...
    1
  10407. That didn't take long. Putin always pays his debts....promptly... Those responders better be careful; Russia is in a bad mood tonight and may "double tap" the target area.
    1
  10408. The afternoon summaries of the Military Bloggers are just coming in (usually around 3pm CDT) and the first one I watched said this is likely a "false flag" as there is strong evidence the rocket came from nearby Kramatorsk Airfield. This blogger does NOT deal in bullshyte----he is one of the highest rated for being "neutral" of the top military bloggers. Let's wait and see. My guess is this will be like the infamous "cafe S-300 strike" where CNN and BBC said "the horrible Russian monsters hit innocent people eating pizza!". Then it soon came out 50 Ukraine officers and US mercenaries were there and all got wiped out. BBC pulled down their story that same day, but CNN did not.
    1
  10409. I've never been more convinced Joe Biden is not running the country; someone (more likely a small group of someone's) else is. There is NO way he has the cognitive capacity to orchestrate or manage this many nations jockeying around open warfare. There is a small chance that person or group is not even American.

  10410. Anglo Saxons have believed themselves superior to Slavs for 1500 years. Old habits die hard....
    1
  10411. The carnage does not surprise me. Ukrainians and Russians are cousins you can hardly tell them apart. They fought the Mongols, Napoleon, Hitler together and both took horrific losses and kept fighting. Russia will always win because Ukraine will run out of men before Russia does. Simple and obvious two years ago.
    1
  10412. Wars always reach the peak of their nastiness right before they end; in 1939 Hitler was content to just deport Jews, by 1945 he was cooking them like they were rump roasts. We are entering the "unrestricted monstrosity" phase of this war...
    1
  10413. Right, this is an objective opinion. Meanwhile "weak" Russia is absolutely murdering Ukraine and their NATO allies in combat.

  10414. Iran will hand Yemen the missile and they will shoot it at UK. Just as UK has handed Ukraine the missile and they shoot it at Russia for the past year. Convenient.

  10418.  @layne4376  65K miles as of today, not a single item has failed or worn out; not even brake pads. I have only replaced tires, oil, and spark plugs per schedule. That's it. No modern BMW can make it six years and 65K without some major expense for a failure or wear out item.

  10419. Wake up. It is 2023. Those Russians in Donetsk are ALREADY home; been Russia for two years now. The AFU are the invaders.

  10420.  @abdell75roussos  So? You make $100K a year but you still broke because it doesn't cover your 4000 sq. ft. house and leased AMG Benz, right?? Same for Ukraine (that's why US sent them $3.9B last month to pay their salaries)...."

  10421. Probably discussing how many troops they believe they can commit to Ukraine without being voted out of office.

  10423. You are looking at a man who Russian historians will refer to as "Vladimir The Great" alongside Peter and Catherine. So great is his defeat of NATO, some are already calling him "Tsar".

  10424. Zelensky is no longer President. He has fired Syrsky after only six weeks; and Russia takes towns with almost no resistance. You are beaten, it is useless to resist. Do not sacrifice future generations for ego

  10425. I agree with exactly how you guys reviewed this car. I had a 2017 Giulia and I'd have kept her till my death but some idiot T-boned it last year and destroyed it. I also would not buy a Stelvio for the same reason: its dynamic awesomeness is almost useless in day-to-day living, and something like an RDX destroys it in the "things you use a CUV for" category. The Giulia is a sport sedan and pays dividends for what you may give up, this doesn't.
    1
  10426. Made a simple point about FPV drones and armored assaults, and YT deleted it. I see nothing has changed even after Trump's victory.... Can't do any discussion of tactics without the dam censorship because some NAFO bot might get his feelings hurt....

  10427. That actually doesn't seem like much at all. I'm sure IDF won't miss it...US gives more than all of that in one day

  10429. Fiat was the best thing that ever happened to Chrysler group. Overnight they went from always having the lowest cost components, to having the Fiat global supply chain. It is not an accident RAM is what it is today. ZF transmissions. Brembo. Bilstein. Bosch. All the names from the global marketplace that are best in breed. McIntosh audio??? This would not exist without Fiat.
    1
  10430. RU only on defense in Kursk front, in Donetsk they are on an offensive rampage just as they have been all year. Whatever "tremendous success" is, they only had it; their invasion force is stuck inside the "bulge" and only in a couple areas can small units pierce the cordon around their main body. This is because the AFU force is about 25K to 40K strong, while the Kursk Army Group stationed in Kursk is about the same size. It has been even the last few days which is why neither side can really change much. That won't last as every second thousands more RU troops are heading toward the Ukrainian bulge; once RU outnumbers them it will be ggwp...."
    1
  10431. I hate the fact that US servicemen are now dying in Ukraine, but I blame Biden 100% for them being there. They have no business there as this is not our war; there are crazies in US govt. that want to drop the "proxy" from this farce and go toe to toe with Russia. The sane people of the world must recognize it is THESE people who are the true enemy.
    1
  10432. Well, the insurgents now know the Government troops (whether for or against the coup leaders) are now distracted and divided. Easy meat. If France and US go in there, the insurgents will kill them too.
    1
  10433. I agree with everything you said until the "Poles, Balts, Finns" part. If Putin wins, Biden will go down to defeat and ignominy in history. However, that is it. The Anglo Saxon "ultra-elites" that are behind Biden's words and actions don't want WW3; what good does that do for everyone to be dead? No, they want Russia on her knees, yes, but they are not suicidal. They will accept this loss and simply wait, years, decades for another chance.

  10439. yeah but at that point the NATO hope is Russia is so weakened they won't be a threat again for 40 years. Ukraine is the "price" of this warm fuzzy

  10440. Boris Johnson today: "If Ukraine loses, it will be the end of Western Hegemony.." I mean, that is no surprise to 8 billion humans, only surprise is one of these Western Imperialists said it out loud.

  10441. Makes sense, Shoigu was about to retire two years ago but the SMO prevented it. He was a logistics master, and the Steamroller he built is now doing its job. The war is over and RU has won; NATO can't stop them as the nukes both large and small stand at the ready. Time for a guy who knows how to make money now...

  10442. Bro. Read up on him. He's been kicking the West's ass for almost TWENTY years. Some are already calling him "Tsar"

  10443. Wow. Things are a'changin... People have finally had enough.

  10444. People hate Putin so much they stop thinking. $113 BILLION and Ukraine on the verge of defeat?? What would it take for them to win? A TRILLION DOLLARS??
    1
  10445. Has it been worth it? In September, 2021 Russia sent NATO and Biden a draft security framework that would have prevented war. Yes, Ukraine would not have Crimea (and maybe some other regions---yet much would have been negotiable), Biden and NATO ignored it saying what Russia wanted was too much, but the country would not have been destroyed, all these young men would not be killed and maimed for life.
    1
  10446. If 92% of young Ukrainians do not believe it's worth their life to resist Russia, I don't see how any leader can go on. Soon there will be street protests and once those protests draw thousands instead of hundreds it's over.

  10449. The declaration was tepid because any human over the age of 17 knows that the US and UK have quite a bit of blood on their hands in this war. Possibly almost as much as Putin does.
    1
  10450. This is one of those moments where American citizens will look back and ask "how did we get here?". In some near future war, America's enemy (or proxy enemy) will be dropping cluster bombs on universities and US will howl and whine at the UN, and no one will listen...

  10458. Bidens disastrous exit from Afghanistan leads to this...

  10459. It really isn't that surprising. Cheney is one of the old school "neo-conservatives"; the world builders who believe the United States has a Divine Right to bend the planet to its will by money or by force, whichever works best. The Democrats have taken up the charge to crush all who oppose them under that Standard; the GOP under Trump is going in the complete opposite direction with isolationism and inward-facing US nationalism. Trump people consider Republicans like him "RINOS" or the "swamp"; Cheney is being philosophically true to his core beliefs...."
    1
  10460. No one lasts 30 years in power without being very good at reading the "tea leaves". Lukashenko chose the winning side of this war and he now has a much stronger army, and nukes on his soil to deter future US Presidents. His power is secured for at least another 25 years.
    1
  10461. True, but then Biden and NATO would not have gotten all this lovely new land on which to put their missiles aimed at Moscow.
    1
  10462. "Ours not to reason why. Ours is to do and die." This the beginning; there will be much more of it for our soldiers as Biden today announced that bombing of Yemen is to become "open ended". What a euphemism for these vampires, eh? The ease with which they talk of destroying life leaves me cold. Especially since Biden is going to escalate without a Congressional Declaration of War (like many Presidents before him). If we don't stand up now and DEMAND Biden get Congressional Approval to expand wars, these two soldiers will be the first of many.
    1
  10463. They've all been killed by an airstrike from Russian Air Force (they had no anti-air capability at all). This shows weakness for Ukraine. Yesterday CNN had an article on how AFU is getting really good at building IEDs. Now, an insurgency attack? This just confirms what those of us with open minds have known all along; Ukraine cannot defeat Russia in a face-to-face war of attrition. Ukraine is preparing for a years long campaign of insurgency against Russian territory....much like Hamas vs. Israel.
    1
  10464. There were more GOP votes against than for... It isn't just MTG; she's just squeaky wheel everyone hears (and focuses on). A lot of Americans disagree with this constant willful waste of our money by Democrats. In the past 30 days about $10B has been thrown away wiping out student loans (even though analysis shows it mostly benefits people who didn't need it). Now, another $100B thrown down a hole or directly into Lockheed Martin's corporate coffers. We have to vote like our wallets depend on it in a few months.
    1
  10465. Today, Biden sent his attack dog Nuland to threaten the new government in Niger, and sent heavy artillery to the US base there. Please tell me: What "law" results in Biden FORTIFYING a base on foreign soil AFTER the leadership of that country has asked the US to leave? None. The law is simply that of "might makes right" and NATO under US leadership has become an instrument of tyranny.
    1
  10466. Saw that 155th on France24 ; using old French equipment that was gonna be retired soon anyways. Wondered where they'd be deployed and how they'd fight. I am surprised so many ran away at first contact. HL did a deep dive on the 155th a month ago they had AMX-10 and the FAMAS rifle to replace their AKs. For them to crack so quickly is a monstrous embarrassment for France and Ukraine

  10467. I'm more auto nerd than professional and motivated mostly by just not having an expensive repair. 10 years ago I just waited until the car said "oil life 10%", however now I just change all my cars at 5K. I don't care what the computer says; I can get Mobil 1 ESP at Walmart for $27 for 5 qt. In my opinion there is no better engine oil on earth, so why bother wait? Most filters are less than $10. I have a 2012 Enclave with the GM 3.6 that was notorious for timing chain stretch. Mine is at 180K and idles so smoothly you can't tell it's running; no engine flush, no oil treatments, nothing but 5K OCI for a decade. No problem.

  10469. US State Department is now the strongest power on the Earth. Biden is a figurehead; saying only what he is told to say. There is an evil, unelected "shadow government" inside State and only We The People can destroy it by voting in November. Save the world by saving the United States...

  10470. Had to go look up "Ford Puma"; that model never sold in US. Now I see what y'all are talking about....yeahhhh from the front maybe.
    1
  10471. 80 years ago "war" meant eating all the dogs,cats,rats, and horses in the city rather that surrender to the Wehrmacht. If you think Russians "feel" these little mosquito bites, it will be 100 years of war on the US dime.

  10474. Silly article. Half of NATO doesn't want Ukraine in there period. Most of the rest don't want them while the war is going on because as soon as Zelensky signs, the first Russian shell that hits Ukrainian soil triggers Article 5 and now Spain, France, Portugal et al. must honor their commitment and go to war with Russia. US and UK want that; no one else (especially Germany!) does. Waste of time even discussing it.

  10478. It was escalation the moment US sailed into the Red Sea
    1
  10479. The bridge is 97% intact and Russia long ago transitioned most military logistics to the highway running from Mariupol to Crimea. You know, the "land bridge" that is far more valuable than the Kerch bridge, because a land bridge is impossible to destroy?? Duhh. That's why this attack really was a terrorist act: Ukraine (and Biden who OK'ed the attack) know fully well where the military traffic is. US drones spy on Russia 24/7 from the Black Sea. They KNOW it is a civilian bridge, but its "PR" value is huge. Of course it won't affect Russian strategy one iota, but it will give them a blank check for the retaliatory attack sure to follow.
    1
  10480. Both. Everyone not in NATO is terrified of NATO and is banding together for protection.

  10481. A 12 year old, killed by an assault rifle. Even Ukraine is not so desperate as to send their young boys to the slaughter in such a manner. Here, we do it every day and we aren't even at war. The behavior is not new; in 1923 in every big city you could find wayward boys raising hell or getting up to no good. The difference is there were not 300 million guns floating around at the time. Young hoods got beat up, stabbed or sent to a boys home; only the adults----deeply entrenched in the gangster life----were at risk of being killed by a gun. Don't ban guns, just put a $5000 Federal tax on each gun, that way only the very top dogs of the gangs can afford to have them. When guns are that valuable, the leaders won't give them to 14 year olds and parents will take extreme measure to keep them locked away.

  10487. There will be an Armistice soon; the rumors are flying around and the harsh reality of Ukraine having no air power to crack the Russian defenses, with shattered Leopards and Bradleys, has set in. The NATO summit is in two weeks and Ukraine will not have any huge success to show by then to convince NATO to send more weapons. Tanks and artillery isn't enough, Ukraine needs an entire air force to have any hope of serious success and that means hundreds of billions in planes, equipment, and very expensive highly trained personnel. All of which would be immediately at risk if it were located in Ukraine, and Putin has said any plane attacking Russia from anywhere, that anywhere is now a target. Everyone knows he's serious. Russia won't "win", but they won't "lose" either.

I saw the exact same look on the faces of Trump and his lickspittles this week; a blend of incredulity and anger based in fear---a dish they clearly have never before in their lives been served. If future science can one day permanently disable certain character traits from the human genome, narcissism should be in the top ten list.

I learned today that the US Government is paying for all of Ukraine's State operations and its pension fund; in effect Ukraine is now a US Protectorate like Puerto Rico or the US Virgin Islands. I don't recall ever voting for that, but it explains why Biden is willing to use banned cluster shells. To him, Ukraine is part of the United States, and this helps us understand why he is willing to go to such lengths to avoid having to negotiate with Putin. I would fight to protect Puerto Rico, but I would not to protect Ukraine. I think most Americans agree with me and we'll see in 2024 if I'm right.

Biden is the one who CHOSE to rush arms to Israel to allow her to turn Gaza into "Berlin 1945" in the space of two months, AND sent the US Navy into the Red Sea, stirring up a hornet's nest which has now resulted in us being on the brink of war with Iran.

However, US and US only has the satnav intel for those missiles and without the US, nothing more can be done.

Just like Ukraine, this volunteer force can be any American age 17 to 70 male or female, exactly the same as Ukraine's current conscript laws. All the pro-Ukraine commenters on here probably 99% of them will qualify. They can have the best US gear, weapons, ammo and tanks and go put their money where their mouth is. Great idea.

The GOP wants to stop all the illegal immigration on the border forcing the Dems to choose between blocking the asylum seekers which have been their policy to let in for years and getting money for Ukraine, or allowing the immigration which is their policy and letting Ukraine wither on the vine. Immigration or Ukraine; that is the US Democrat Party choice. Zelensky saw the writing on the wall when the Democrats did not even want to talk about blocking immigration; he saw they made their choice and it wasn't him.

  10611. WW1 Germany focussed on destroying Russia first , because they felt they were they easier foe and needed to secure their flank before taking on France WW2, Germany again needs to secure its flank before taking on France, but this time they sign a non aggression pact with Russia, which they later violate. WW3, Germany does what it has always done....plot Russia's doom...and fail.

  10613. Zelensky already demand from Biden new air defense to stop this. BIden told him: "fool did you see what everyone else did? They hit at Mach 10, our latest Patriot is Mach 4 or 5 tops! I'm out in 8 weeks; good luck!"
    1
  10614. No, they are going to move. They have to. You can tell by Zelensky's face and tone he doesn't want to, but his US/UK masters are making him do it. Its crazy; even if Ukraine "wins" the offensive; they still lose the war. If they commit the whole force and drive successfully to the Sea of Azov, by the time they get there the army will be attritted to almost nothing and Russians will counterattack from both flanks and annihilate them as Ukraine has no reserves. If they commit only half, they'll break apart on the 6 layer Russian defense line and achieve nothing.

  10615. US arrogance sometimes astounds me. Just two months ago, US and British reporters entered Russia! with an Invading Army!! with no visa or passport. Now, here the US is bitching about North Koreans in Russia with Russias permission?? Unfuckingbelievable

  10619. All of the World has learned one thing from this war. "Western superiority" in war machines and/or doctrine is no longer true. It may have been true 30 years ago, but the gap has been closed; mostly due to Globalization and widespread availability of microprocessors that used to be custom-made by internal suppliers. Ukraine was telling Biden two months ago "your doctrine won't work here; this isn't Desert Storm where the Iraqis were dug in with no air force and you had full control of the sky. The Russians control the sky over their lines." US told them to "go anyway, Russians are poorly trained and will run away when they see a Leopard". 30,000 Ukrainian corpses now realize that wasn't true...

  10623. ??? If Russia had deleted the Zelensky Regime two years ago that would have been it. No war, no 500K dead, just Ukraine in Russia as it has been for 1500 years. NATO would be just as it was in 2020.

What the BLEEP! does it have to do with us, and just why has President Biden tied his political future to a determination of what happens in Russia on HIS terms??

  10632. Wow. Looks like Tony Stark sold his "Jericho" missile system to Hamas.

  10633. That's because France always quits when they lose the first battle. Nobody trusts them to tough it out. Germany sent three million men to destroy Russia and failed. Italy sent 235,000 to Stalingrad and only 35,000 returned to Italy alive. France sat out WW2 after losing ONE battle. Macron is the only one talking because he is the only one with something to prove

Rivian's CEO is a certified kombucha-tea drinking, vegan "Patagonia lifestyle" type person and he is building vehicles specifically for that type of person.

  10644. Agree. However, Russia began offensive movement a week ago in three separate regions. They were waiting for Ukraine but became convinced Zelensky wouldn't move before F-16s showed up for the reasons you mention. Ukraine now has to move as Russia is moving.

  10649. Sigh. The US and UK just can't give it up. They just can't accept it that Russia has defeated all their high tech weapons sent to Ukraine. Zelensky just can't accept the brutal math. Russia has 1500 combat aircraft, Ukraine 80. Russia has 100+ Naval warships, Ukraine 0. Russia's MIC is producing MONTHLY in 2023, what they produced ANNUALLY in 2022. None of that is in dispute. If UK planned to use 200,000 troops, I'd believe it had a chance. Once they said it hinges on "advanced technology", I know it will fail. Russia has proven they can counter NATO technological "superiority".

  10653. No amount of spin or psy ops by Ukraine can hide it. Russia has defeated Ukraine in Bakhmut and NATO has lost control of the narrative because everything they've said over the past six months has turned out to be a lie. Now, we in US are hearing that Biden is demanding Zelensky start the offensive now---no more waiting, no more hand-wringing, no more hoping for better odds at some future date. Use the $50B in weapons we've given you and attack them now.

  10658. So finally, the MSM realizes what the rest of us could see with our own eyes the past two months? Biden Administration already told Ukraine to halt the "Grand Spring Offensive"; there have been no major armored attempts by Ukraine in the past two weeks after the horrific losses of Aug. 18 - 24. The idea is to wait for Abrams and try again before winter, when they may have a few F-16s. I'm going to go out on a limb and say right now: THAT WILL FAIL TOO. Anyone dare to say otherwise and then we meet back here around Christmas? 🙂

  10663. No amount of training can prepare soldiers for the real thing; if this is true it benefits both NK and Russia. SK says they are "1500 special forces", of course you have to be willing to believe SK. Imagine getting 1500 Green Berets; they already know how to shoot, drive vehicles, use a wide array of arms, but they have zero experience (especially their officers). Russia gets additional, already-trained manpower, while North Korea gains real combat experience for its elite forces. Something they can get nowhere else, and the experience for their junior officers and NCOs which are the backbone of any army, will be invaluable to NK.

Kia copied the gorgeous design, dropped it onto a cheap Sedona minivan chassis, and called it Telluride. At $45K with none of the expensive complexity of a Volvo, it is a sales hit (even though it has all the typical weaknesses of a Kia/Hyundai).

  10668. Strangest election in my lifetime. There are literally two wars going on where the parties are waiting to see who wins before they attack, because the US is the arsenal of one side and the two candidates differ significantly on their view of the wars. You won't find an analogous situation in military history over the past 500 years.

  10670. Do Harris voters realize Zelensky demanded 1000 Tomahawk cruise missiles in his recent "Victory Plan"??? At $4M each, that is four billion dollars on missiles alone (and we are estimated to have maybe 2000 in our inventory). Also, the missile is usually fired by submarine or warship; of which Ukraine has neither. Meaning we are going to fire them for him. This is pure madness and if you vote Harris you are voting for this and all the even greater madness to come....

  10680. Putin has publicly told his armed force that Ukraine must be "kicked out" of Kursk by the end of October, so I'll just wait until around mid-October to really evaluate this whole thing. Ukraine has changed their public statements about what their intentions are multiple times, while that is probably just masking their intent, the recent demand for more entrenching equipment from NATO means they are kind of "going with the flow" to some degree. Had they wanted to fortify from the start, they'd have had this equipment already. In the Donbas, Ukraine is basically allowing RU to walk in; the units there have almost no ammo and NATO HIMARS are all up north. This is actually all quite dramatic."

  10681. I’ve sold a few cars to Carmax I’ve never bought there. Prices were high and a lot of their 4-5 year old cars looked like crap up close. I’ve had much better luck at dealers in fancy areas. They get trades from locals who can afford all the maintenance so their used stuff is a lot better. I’ve gotten 10+ year old cars that had all maintenance done at original selling dealer ; wealthy people don’t bother with Indy shops after warranty ends. They just go to dealer. Five years later that car is a gem.

  10682. NATO is why Russia is fighting to the death. If Zelensky uses his brain, he would realize that telling Biden and NATO to take a hike is the single greatest thing he can do to stop the war and save his country. There is another great Superpower that can provide all the protection Ukraine would ever need.

  10683. ...and so will Kyiv and every city in Ukraine still standing. I guess that's what you wanted.

  10684. LOL. It says right in the video sysnopsis "Russia attacked the city with guided bombs for the first time since 2022.", so I said "the batlle of Kharkiv has begun" and YouTube censor deleted it. I've never seen Western Media behave the way they have about this war; never in my life.

  10691. Ukraine has been massing in Orekhov for months; every armored vehicle coming to the front through Novo-Danilovka originated in Orekhov. A tactical nuke on Orekhov would have wiped out the entire NATO-trained force in one go and the war would be over. I have no idea what Putin is doing.....I guess he has his reasons.

  10692. That is the "strike back" for Russia destroying over 100 Ukraine and NATO officers and engineers yesterday? Was even a single Russian citizen in need of a Band-Aid?

  10694. To me, this is like saying "the Japanese Navy steamrolled the US Navy at Pearl Harbor". Yes, technically they did, it was a major tactical victory. However there was no honor in it as it was a done before war was declared. At Kursk, NATO secretly changed it's ROE (which RU had abided by for two years), to give Ukraine its chance to strike. Tactical success, but no honor, no glory. Just as at Pearl, the duplicitous one will eventually lose, and lose big...."

How can one department of the government, whose sole purpose is to negotiate treaties and trade agreements, need almost 80,000 people!!! The first Secretary of State, Thomas Jefferson, had a staff of SIX ; and only two diplomatic posts, in London and Paris.

  10703. Even my 11 year old tells me "Dad, the 80s were the best. Everything was better then that it is today..." I think Stranger Things has something to do with that but still, when I was in high school in 1988 I didn't think 1958 was cool; I thought cars back then sucked. I liked cars of the 80s and I still do. History will show the United States peaked around 1989.

  10705. Strangest war I've ever been aware of; there is no precedent as it is only a partial proxy war---one Superpower is actually fighting. Iran/Iraq in 1988 was Russia and US supporting each by proxy, but the proxies fought each other; the patrons never got shot at. This is two superpowers, with a "gentlemen's agreement" for this to not get "crazy"; yet each openly tries to kill the other but only inside Ukraine. Vietnam is close, but neither Russia nor China were doing so much on the behalf of the VC, as US does on behalf of Ukraine. Nuttiest "war" I've ever seen in all my study of military history

  10707. Why is Western media trying to keep quiet the use of Ukrainian women in front-line combat? Why CNN/BBC keep saying all the women are "snipers" or "medics" , when we have now seen female territorial units now for at least two months? What is the West ashamed of?

  10713. I don't know if they are buying them from Iran or North Korea (or both), but Russia CLEARLY has more Iskanders to use than ever before. I saw one fired at a single Ukrainian tank a couple weeks ago. Only the United States is wealthy enough to fire $1M missile at a single tank..... Something has changed; if RU has that many cheap Iskanders now......I mean those things are 1000kg of HE hitting at Mach 6 with 10m accuracy...."

  10720. Wrong. That only works when the enemy (just like the US was) is INSIDE your territory WITH you. Then you can become a terrorist, blowing up trains, and police stations, etc. to make life miserable. Here, Russia has an impenetrable defense keeping AFU OUT. Can't be an "insurgent" if you can't get in...
    1
  10721. I knew two months ago that this would be the end of Ukraine aid. Its an election year and Biden isn't going to come down hard on the border and alienate his supporters on the Left. The GOP won't cave and alienate their supporters on the Right. Meaning just what we see: nothing. That is fine with me.

  10722. So, the 7 million people of Crimea/DPR/LPR who have now voted 3 years in a row overwhelmingly to stay with Russia? Their opinions do not matter because you say so?"

  10726. If AFU is really going to make a new offensive to grab territory before winter, I do not see how they are not going to die like flies. I swear Ukraine does things that violate decades, even centuries of military wisdom, and they get their ass handed to them as a result. An all-out attack on Bakhmut? Where 100,000 Russians and 900 tanks have been sitting for months?? A push into Zaporizhzhia by some amphibious means, where anything strong enough to carry a 75-ton tank will be quickly seen and obliterated, meaning just another "Zergling Rush" like they've done in Robotyne?? Like in June, they make a "public service" video talking about "Shhhh" before their Grand Spring Offensive. What army has ever done that?? What General tells his enemy he is coming?? Then for the next four months they tell everyone that they are inflicting more losses on Russia than they are taking, even though they are the ones attacking. They really believe their Western backers are stupid.

At Stalingrad, the Russians hung 84% casualties on the Hungarian Second Army, as they smashed through the Hungarian and Italian sectors (the Italian 8th Army was destroyed almost to a man). US/UK/France all want to fight Russia....like toddlers who play with fire for the first time...
    1
  10734. NATO changed the weapons use policy; there are Strykers clearly visible inside Russia and US just said Ukraine "did not violate policy". Wow. That means unrestricted warfare using donated Western weapons. That IS a huge escalation...."

  10735. Does it not seem absolutely crazy to anyone that, other than Russia, Iran, China, and North Korea, every nation on the planet consults Joe Biden before taking any military action to get his "blessing" for their plan???

  10736. Big battle near Verbove today; should get some news in about 2 to 3 hours from military blogger channels (don't even waste your time with CNN/BBC/SKY, nothing but lies there). May get to see a burning Abrams today! Certainly by the end of the week we will as Russia has doubled the bonus for destroying the Abrams over what it was for Challenger and Leopard 2.

  10738. One Western vampire staked through the heart, one more to go (US still has a military presence in Niger and Nuland will kill many Nigeriens before she too is staked through the heart).

  10739.  @LeviBulger  This is pure fantasy. Russian morale is at its highest over the past 9 months---they just took Bakhmut and Ukraine is retreating from Khromove as we speak. There are 200K Russian reservists in the South of the annexed territory and another 100K in far West Russia near Luhansk, all just waiting for Ukraine's offensive so they can crush it. These are FACTS as reported by US Military. This article is proof conventional has failed----you are wishing for something to happen that has no basis in reality.

  10740. So Biden now having Ukraine attack Russian strategic ballistic missile early warning radars? Those have zero to do with Ukraine war, but suddenly they are being targeted? US doing what it wanted to all along, weaken Russia strategically. Using Ukraine as the "hands"

  10741. ...but Xi urged Scholz to "make peace".
    1
  10742. We all knew this would happen one day, we just didnt know when. Russia defeated two of the largest armies in history, Napoleon and Hitler, on its land. For Biden to enable this war was recklessly ignorant. We have to hold him accountable politically; this cannot happen again in our lifetimes. We are going to vote him out next year, then the war will end.

  10743. US cannot speak about anything in Africa. That's like asking a Nazi about Israel....

  10744. Remember a few weeks ago some bright star in the Ukrainian MoD decided to have a military drone show with officers and industry engineers? In a war zone? Russia wasn't invited, but attended anyway via Iskander-M 😂😂

  10745. ISW?? Pro-Western rubbish

  10746. We are heading for the climax of this war. It will be settled this year. The only question is how many will die before it's over.

  10747. Russia is taking territory at a massively increased rate in 2024 it is already clear.

  10750. The West creates these "rules based order" on their terms, sets them aside whenever it suits them, invade other countries to "regime change" them when they don't do what the West wants, calls everyone with a governing system different than theirs a "dictator", and you wonder why everyone not in NATO is trying desperately to protect themselves from NATO.

  10751. The Russians should NEVER trust the US Government. NEVER
    1
  10752. Report that Ukraine is angry at Italy because all the M109 artillery they sent to Ukraine doesn't actually work and needs massive refurbishment. Of course NATO nations will send their least-needed, obsolete, run down stuff first. NOBODY is paying them for it! Zelensky is out of his mind if he thinks his lover's spat with Putin is so important all of NATO should just give away their best weapons (leaving them defenseless) for Ukraine!

  10753. Sky News told me Iranian weapons are cheap junk; nothing to worry about....

  10754. Imho, sedans "peaked" about a decade ago and its been downhill ever since. Whatever you can buy new today is just a version of a design from 5+ years ago; very little new effort is spent on sedans. I mean for crying out loud, in 2017 you could get an Acura TLX with a masterful V6 and SH-AWD, or even an RLX Hybrid with All Wheel Steering. Lexus had the GS-F (or IS-F if you went back a bit). Even Infiniti had a hybrid of the Q50 and Q70 that would crush this G80 right now. I haven't even mentioned the Cadillac "V" stuff for the past decade. For that reason I see ZERO reason to buy ANY sedan new....even the vaunted M340i lost its binnacled IP for a screen three years ago and, imho the 2022 or prior is the only one worth buying. A 2020 Q50 Red Sport destroys this 2025 G80 in quality, reliability, looks, handling for 1/4 of the cost; you'd have to be insane to borrow money at 8% to buy this tarted up Kia.

  10755. Good, this is EU problem now. We in the US are about to remove Ancient Joe and the $100B taxpayer money train is over forever. The EU wants Ukraine more than the US does; its EU farming leases at risk, EU LNG storage at risk, all EU money tied up in Ukraine. You fight Russia for it. We're done.
    1
  10756. Some ex US Army "expert" on Faux Nooz said "..Russia took 50,000 casualties taking Avdiivka.." which is more than the entire force deployed there 😂. Then I hear that number again today and I knew what is going on. West media "...yeah, b-b-but you lost 50,000 so nya-nya." Watch we will hear "lost 50,000" on every Western media article about this battle for months

  10759. They'll be exhuming their women soon. Ukraine training 60,000 women for combat now because no more men left to conscript. We haven't seen the real horror yet...
    1
  10760. Don't even care much anymore... Russia won; by how much doesn't really matter to me personally. NATO just could not get Crimea. If they had, they'd use this as a template for China , Iran and anyone anywhere else.

  10762. Sign up and go tough guy. Ukraine will take anyone with a pulse at this point...

  10763. NATO mercs have no business in Ukraine other than to kill Russians. They are legit target and Putin should prioritize them as they are the main reason the war is dragging on.

  10764. How about urging some fuccing dialogue and conversation and listening and understanding you nosferatu???

  10765. Israel has massed 100,000; if they send that many the casualties will be enormous. Hamas knew this would be the response, and is prepared for exactly this. Every street corner will be an ambush, every garbage can a bomb, every window will have a sniper, and drones will descend like flies. In the tight urban confines, it will be a bloodbath.

  10766. That's really crazy that your calculations for UKR losses almost 99% match those reported by Ukraine itself. Amazing.

  10767. You going to die for Myanmar or Kenya?

  10768. Harris wants to go to war with Russia to save some Ukrainian Nationalists who we have zero historical connection to. Even if we "win", we will lose millions in a war with Russia. How anyone can even think to vote for her astounds me...
    1
  10769. LOL. What 'advantage'? Every day I open the news a new city has fallen to Russia. All we hearing about the last month is Ukraine's "new wonder weapons" that will "win the war". Last time we heard things like this, the US Army was steamrolling through Germany while the "wonder weapons" flew over their heads. Exact same thing is happening 80 years later; RU steamrolling along while the Ukrainian wunderwaffe fly past (or roll past) causing some damage, but not even slowing their advance by a bit. The more things change, the more they stay the same..."

  10770. I don't believe Biden can send the US military to war without Congress authorization. There was some argument months ago that shooting down Iranian missiles was an illegal order...

    1
  10774. ... meanwhile Wagner and the Chechens are massing in Belgorod. Putin said yesterday they are going to create a "security zone" to protect Belgorod from incursion and shelling. That means carving out a new chunk of Ukrainian territory.... permanently. Who will stop them?

  10775. How much has Greece given? Portugal? Italy? France? Belgium? Iceland? Slovenia? Why this beggar who owns yachts and mansions (but not a suit) ALWAYS keeps coming to us with his hands out??? Aren't all of them NATO too??
    1
  10776. Always gotta remember in 8 weeks Biden is gone. Most targets in Kursk have Pantsir/Buk/S-400 all around; a few ATACMS getting through for the next couple months will be a rounding error to logistics. Putin will make a symbolic response but nothing that will jeopardize the negotiations once Trump is inagurated.

  10780. War is over already. Russia has won as they have 90% of their goals met, and Ukraine has 0% of its goals met. 2025 decides who wins the peace ...

  10781. Both sides will fight here for the next three years until Ukraine runs out of men. Then the Ukrainian women will take over and fight for another three years until they too are all dead or wounded.

  10783. I don't know what Poland was trying to achieve, but the US was only trying to "degrade and weaken" (Lloyd Austin's words) Russia. Only Zelensky believed the US wanted to help him "win" (such a thing is impossible without at least two million American soldiers being deployed to Russia----which is as likely as the Moon falling to earth).
    1
  10784. What kind of weapons does SA have?? This is good ol US "payback" for the Naval Wargames they hosted a few weeks ago. Make up a story to isht on the African country to compel them to get in line. Typical American geopolitics----bully the weak.
    1
  10785. Just like NATO announces weapons already in Ukraine, this little summit is just for the cameras. The deal was done months ago as we are hearing reports North Korean MLRS systems are coming in October. Winter is coming...

  10786. Russia took a year to build theirs and they have an Air Force. Ukraine been building these for two months....they will fall like matchsticks

  10787.  @IrrationalCharm  and Avdiivka too right? LOL
    1
  10788. Congrats to China. The Fujian gliding through the sea on trials last week looked almost like a brand new Nimitz-class. China only needs to be strong enough to keep the Big Bully of the planet out of their neighborhood. Once she has at least three supercarriers with a fully trained air wing she will be "America-proof". I give it about a decade. Strange how half the planet #1 foreign policy goal is to immunize themselves from being dominated by the US. Why are we the world's biggest threat?

  10791. Budanov said that? LOL. The guy who ate a Kinzhal after he said "we want to kill Russians" a few months ago? The German health care system patched him up well after the missile put him into a coma. Now that his mouth is flapping again, Putin will make sure to "double tap" the building next time. Its the only way to be sure.

  10792. A 500 kt bomb that destroys Ukraine's army will lead to the End of The World?? What are they, God's Chosen People??? Madness.

  10793. Forbes want all those goodies; the farmland, the coal, the metals, etc. all just sitting there in the Donbass and Russia just gobbling it up day after day while he watches and fumes as his investments go up in smoke. He's rich enough to hire an entire private army a la Wagner to go try and take it all back. No one is stopping him...
    1
  10794. NATO isn't going to give up without a fight; they invested untold billions over the past decade in Ukraine farming and LNG storage. Ukraine's gas overflow storage facility is the largest in Europe (if you consider Ukraine "Europe"). NATO can't walk away without a fight as they have far too much to lose. Of course Russia's very independence is at stake so they won't back down. No one wants to end the world over this; but NATO and RU will have a conventional showdown to decide this and that is why Putin put in a man who can maximize the return for every ruble. He will need it to fight 31 other countries directly.
    1
  10795. Holy ****!!!! Seven grand??? For a 2012 with 80K miles????? Unflippin believable. Normally most of the cars you bring home are----imho---junk, but you smashed out of the park with this. How do I know? I have a 2011 XJ Supercharged with 90K mile and it runs like a dream---only replaced the water pump so far. I ALSO have a 2012 XK-R in pristine shape with only 50K miles and it is worth about $30K. To get the SAME exact engine in a car that is basically just "broken in" for SEVEN THOUSAND DOLLARS is insane. Jaguars have a bad rep from the mid-1980s----anything built after Ford bought them is just as reliable as any other Ford. This engine in particular is the AJ series V8 that is BULLETPROOF. Jag also only uses ZF transmissions that are also BULLETPROOF. That is a $25K car you got for 7 thou......WOW! Heck even if you just took that car to a shop and had them do the supercharger repair for $2K you are still basically STEALING money its so easy.

  10796. It was close, I stayed up a long as I could and there was still no clear winner; but Trump won and it was a clear victory. DEMs moved too far Left, really that simple. 20 years ago RFJ, Jr. would have been a Democrat but their policy moved so far to the left, he is a Republican now.
    1
  10797. To have the confidence to put your sitting President into an operational military aircraft, with no special life-saving "pod" or super secret protective equipment, and just fly him around like its a training flight. That is just flat out BOSS. For Putin. For the Russian Air Force. For Russia. No way in a thousand years the US Air Force would just carry Biden on board a B-1B, strap him in, and just fly him around. Britain don't even have a strategic bomber to put Rishi on, and if they put him on a ship 50% chance the ship breaks down before he leaves port. Even if you hate Russia; just look at what they are doing today after TWO YEARS of 51 countries trying everything in the book to take them down. Sanctions, weapons, money, mercenaries....and here they are stronger than ever. RUSSIA = BOSS

  10798. How can one lose.what they never had? The United States however, certainly will lose the 21st century to China.

  10801. Ukraine isn't a member of NATO; no legal right

  10802. Propaganda. US intelligence can't even agree on who bombed Nordstream and the dam. The fact they were surprised there was little bloodshed means they didn't know isht.

  10804. Viktor Orban knows what unrestricted warfare with Russia leads to and he is trying to stop the horror show of 2025 this could become. At Stalingrad, the Hungarian Second Army (its best equipped), was smashed by the Red Army when it broke out and surrounded the Germans to achieve victory. The Hungarians took 80% casualties, so they know what an enraged, pissed off Bear is capable of. Half of Americans and Europeans simply don't get it: the Russian Bear isn't even awake---all we've seen the last two years is it kicking in its sleep.
    1
  10805. Ukraine announced yesterday they are building largest military cemetery in possibly the world. At least as large as Arlington National Cemetery in the United States, and the war isn't even over yet. Ukraine is 10% of US population with same size military cemetery. Let that sink in...
    1
  10806. Yet another example of how America has rules for the connected and powerful, and another set of rules for the unwashed masses. Wasn't Donald Trump (and his dozens of lackeys) defense to being charged with Treason, that their words were "just political hyperbole, and so outrageous no one could take it seriously"? Worked for them. However, a rapper or rock star that sings about violent things or nasty groupies can have those words used against them as a literal reflection of their actual FUTURE acts??
    1
  10807. Many Americans.....I am one of them....now want Russia to win. This has already gone far above and beyond what our leaders sold to us one year ago, and every day it goes a bit further.

  10808. For the past 3 years, YouTube would have deleted such a comment. Maybe Trump's win has also made the Biden Admin. censorship a little hesitant now? Not soon enough it was....

  10809. Stupid. What is the point of "stepping down" three weeks before an election?
    1
  10810. Great. Wars always start other wars and this one is no different. US and UK jumped at the chance to fight Russia using Ukraine two years ago, as most expected they are failing miserably but the war destabilizes other regions and stokes other smoldering fires into open flame. NATO's poor performance in Ukraine has emboldened those kept under its thumb. Iran. North Korea. Niger. Serbia. Others we are not even aware of yet. All have seen NATO's "best" burn on the field, watched these "rich" countries run low on the simplest of arms, noticed the internal weakness in France, Germany, Poland and even the United States. Biden's legacy will be that of death, destruction, and endless war.
    1
  10811. Budanov = lie
    1
  10812. Best defense is good offense. Russia knows Ukraine wants go attack so they are just keeping a constant rain of artillery and missiles to keep them off balance. There are reports that Xi and Zelensky call the other day was about ways China could provide Ukraine security without Ukraine joining NATO. This could be a way to end the war by completely cutting out the US and NATO (which is what is causing Russia to fight).
    1
  10813. No sadness for AFU; the ones still fighting are the true believers
    1
  10814. You can sense the end is near. The voices calling for talks are getting louder. Putin waving the treaty Ukraine ignored in the faces of Africas leaders has everyone looking at NATO. A treaty that really wasn't all that bad for Ukraine all considered. The past six months of slaughter could have been avoided.

  10819. Stop panicking and just listen. The conservatives won Congress and the House along with the Presidency. A "sweep". That means Americans don't want global war. Don't want illegal immigration. Don't want socialist spending and insane Left wing social experiments.
    1
  10820. Putin announced today he is giving North Korea the S-400 and an unknown number of Su-35S fighters. That is basically fast-forwarding NK's defensive air capability by 30 years. Whatever plans the US had to bomb NK (and only a CNN-fool would believe there isn't one), just got thrown in the trash so they can start over-----and the cost will be much higher.
    1
  10821. He did.... What we are hearing is only ATACMS and only in Kursk; if that's true Biden might be trying to go a little further without starting a war with Russia but we'll see...
    1
  10822. So, basically they want the United States to break its own laws "because they think it is so important". If you stand for nothing, you fall for anything; setting aside our laws when we please would set a precedent that simply tears up our Constitution.

  10832. Wow! I am a big Jag fan in the US and I did not know the 4.2 was ever put into the XF at all! I have a 2012 XK-R so I know the lineage of that model quite well and I assume this XF has the same motor as the XK-R before the move to the 5.0 motor. When I saw the title I was like "what is the SV8?? I never heard of that!" I believe the first model year of XF in the States was 2009. Enjoy!!

  10833. Yeah, yeah but this is no comparative advantage as Russia has just as many and they all have similar capabilities. So what a drone carrying a 40 lb warhead hits Moscow...what is blowing out condo windows in Moscow going to do about the 100K Russian soldiers in the South of Ukraine? Even if they build bigger ones similar to Shaheed, they'll be shot down with ease just as Shaheeds are. A Shaheed costs $10K, they are worth less than a used Kia; Russia only uses them so Ukraine will shoot $200K missiles at $10K drones.

  10841. Spending more on "your own" defense will force all of Europe to accurately evaluate the threats to themselves individually and collectively, and make objective decisions therefrom. For three entire generations they have not had to do any evaluation; they just sit back and let the US spend all the money, send all the tanks and planes, and no one in a single EU country spend any time evaluating anything because why bother when its all "free"? EU are like 23 year old's that just got kicked out of Mom and Dad's house; they are scared because now the bills don't get paid "magically". If they don't pay it they are on the street. Time to grow up

  10844. Who here now believes Russia has no intention of sending 100,000 troops and 1000 tanks into Ukraine to deliver a knockout blow? A blow that will surely cost them 25,000 casualties and likely kill at least that many Ukrainian soldiers along with a similar number of civilians. They simply don't need to. All they need to do is slap down any and every attempt by Ukraine to change the status quo until Biden reaches his limit. Look at the breakthrough near Lyman. They didn't even try to exploit it further.

I spent 10 days in Italy and when I got back to the US in the customs line I suddenly could tell how fat we are; most Americans were literally twice the width of most Italians.

  10848. CNN is written for stupid people. Value of the ruble is almost meaningless to Russia's war effort. Russia, the largest country on Earth by land area, has vast natural resources to build ten times the number of tanks and guns as any other country or collection of countries. They have enough oil and natgas to power a million tanks. The only thing they need to get from outside their country is electronics, which as they have shown, they have no problem getting from Asia. Keep cope alive CNN.

  10849. Unsurprisingly, none of these Ukrainian people (or their Western shills), ever speaks to one of the main reasons they are ammunition-starved; Russia's strategic washing machine campaign against Ukraine's logistical rear. Do you BBC sheep really believe Russia wastes precious precision washing machines on apartment buildings? AFU only allows the maternity ward hit by drone parts to be filmed; they never show where the 30 Iskanders fired that same night landed (nor does BBC attempt any real "journalism" to find out). Carry on with the blame game...

  10850. Cuba wants to join BRICS. Jamaica wants to join BRICS. Malaysia is considering BRICS. Thailand is considering BRICS. Nicaragua is considering BRICS. Why do so many countries despise US dominance and want nothing to do with us? Why do they hate us so much?

  10851. If Trump wins, it is because enough Americans voted for him in order for him to win. So how TF does that make others "fear for their democracies"?? You mean they fear the BS they've been shoveling to their citizens will be revealed you mean...

  10854. Lemon and Carlson should do a show like "Skip and Shannon: Undisputed". Except instead of sports, it will be Left and Right political propaganda and lies. It'll be a hit.

  10855. UK Government has backed down on the idea of conscription to enlarge the British Army to fight Russia after several ex servicemen said publicly they'd rather fight for Russia or against the current British leadership. The Biden/Blinken?Boris triumvirate had their chance, and Zelensky blew it; that ship has sailed.
    1
  10856. This security agreement just changed the dynamic; this isn't just selling weapons or microchips like China. This is an agreement to fight . All those plans France, Germany and UK were making to attack Russia now have to be updated to deal with North Korea too. That's two nuclear powers Macron and Scholz have to deal with now, instead of one.

  10859. Biden is preparing for exactly that: "Biden ‘open’ to plan that eases Ukraine’s path to NATO membership.The proposed removal of the Membership Action Plan would provide neither a formal invitation nor a timeline for joining the alliance." He knows Ukraine is done; he is preparing the ground to be able to use Article 5 to have the US/UK step in, even though Ukraine could hardly meet the requirements as they currently are. He's changing the rules of the game so he can win...
    1
  10860. Zelensky isn't being completely honest (of course he isn't). He blames everyone but himself. Yet, it was HE who chose to go along with the Biden Administration and NATO two years ago, instead of sitting down and talking with Putin to see what kind of deal he could get that DIDN'T require his country to take 500,000 casualties. HE could have gone a different way then, but he did not. HE could have again last March when China was willing to step between Russian and Ukraine (kicking out NATO), but he did not. It is everyone's fault but his own----he is a lot like Trump in that way.

Russian State Duma just voted: "Kyiv regime...capitulate on Russia's terms....or cease to exist..." 450 seat legislative body 100% behind Putin. Biden's response is to send Abrams and ATACMS. Let the historical record show Ukraine had one last chance to avoid what is coming.

Or the Russia/China/NK/Iran Quad and not have as much money, but you are free to conduct your internal social affairs as you wish. However, either way one must choose. You can't be out here alone in the 21st century as you'll be picked off by a President with "regime change" or a Russian "special military operation".

  10873. The reason GOP can "play politics" with Ukraine aid is THEY NO LONGER BELIEVE IN IT. Please stop with this "American defender of ideals.." absolute trash; it makes me sick to hear it. The Biden Administration was the instigator, all reasonable people know this, Ukraine was the tool and the tool is not strong enough to get the job done. $200B already wasted---another $200B won't change a thing only result in more dead people.

  10874. Biden and Starmer fire missiles programmed by the US Air Force and RAF into Russia, and Rutte says Russia is "ramping up rhetoric and reckless actions"....

  10875. He got what it is he wanted. The US CIA could never "flip" a man like Prigozhin, and even if he wanted to end the war, his group lost 25K men taking Bakhmut and he would NEVER in a thousand years dishonor his dead by quitting before victory. None of his actual words criticized Putin so I knew it wasn't a "coup" (dumb Western MSM). What's left after you eliminate all that? A "statement"; a show to demand something that he wasn't getting...a temper trantrum. If you have listened to the guy for the past six months, this is his M.O. and so far, it has always worked. Now, on to Kiev via Belarus and then to Poland!!

  10876. Amazing worldwide drama---even Hollywood could not come up with better than this. Belorussia is now aware of a NATO-funded plot to invade and overthrow Lukashenko----100% guaranteed Belorussia now enters the war to crush Ukraine for good. What a story!!

  10879. If Ukraine was taking Bakhmut-sized cities, hurling Russians back in headlong retreat, shooting down 100 Su-30 fighters, our screens filled every night with joyous people "liberated" throwing flowers at AFU riding Challenger 2s, taking 10s of thousands of poorly-fed conscripts prisoner, etc. after the $113B we've spent, one could justify sending more money. Instead, Ukraine is taking farms, "liberating" ghosts, Russia has shot down more Su-30s than AFU has, and the Challenger 2/Leopard 2 have not destroyed even a single solitary Russian armored vehicle of any type. If $113B gets us failure on that level, what is $300M more gonna do??
    1
  10880. Always gotta remember in 8 weeks Biden is gone. Most targets in Kursk have Pantsir/Buk/S-400 all around; a few ATACMS getting through for the next couple months will be a rounding error to logistics. Putin will make a symbolic response but nothing that will jeopardize the negotiations once Trump is inagurated.
    1
  10881. Russia says: "Prigozhin is dead, we confirmed it" ALL of CNN believes it. Russia says: "Ukraine's army in the Zaporizhzhia Front is now being smashed from three sides as they drove right into the "meat grinder" we prepared for them 9 months ago." NONE of CNN believes it. 😂😂😂

  10882. Notice Ukraine MoD said nothing bout the Abrams that ate 5 FPV drones today before finally succumbing. They up-armored them since May, that's for sure. Back then it only took one Piranha drone to kill it, now it takes five....

  10886. All that matters is that for every Russian that dies, three (or more) Ukrainians die. As long as that metric is sustained Ukraine can go all the way to Azov and Russia still wins going away.

  10887. That is the point of the entire war: weaken Russia on the cheap using Ukrainian blood, not ours. I'm sure the 17 year old boys they are planning to put into the Abrams tanks will appreciate this knowledge.

  10888. the nuclear weapons though. That alone puts them in rank of #10 on the Earth.

  10891. If they had ever done anything good for the people of these countries, it wouldn't be so easy for them to be kicked out. Watching the behavior of NATO the past two years, I often wonder has NATO always been this duplicitous, self-serving bunch of craven opportunists all along or is it just this new generation of NATO leaders??"
    1
  10892. Hmmm, Ukraine fired 10 storm shadow missiles that cost $5M each, and this is all the damage they got in return? Oh and one of the Su-24 launch aircraft was shot down too so add another $10M. $60M expended for a hole that can be covered by steel plates in a day.

  10894. Well, at least he has a good reason to want some payback against Russia. 99.9% of these mercs fighting for Ukraine are just there for the thrills or want to make war porn vids. Like the Irish blown apart by the tank last week or the Colombians saying prayers before storming a trench. WTF are Irish and Colombians doing fighting for Ukraine?? I'm glad Putin has prioritized "demilitarizing" these people; they have no business being there.

  10900. Biden's move was downright Machiavellian here. Trump can stop a war between a proxy State and Russia, but he can't stop a war between the United States and Russia. By forcing Putin to now choose to respond or back down, Biden wins either way. If Russia responds, the US and Russia go to war and Trump will be unable to stop it once our military people start falling in battle. If Russia backs down, the game is up and the World knows the claws of the Bear only go so far; NATO will smell weakness and suddenly even Latvia will be sending long range missiles into downtown Moscow. Either way, Biden looks like the Golden Boy. I must say....impressive, most impressive...
    1
  10901. That is why there are many howls of rage in the comments; the truth is beginning to leak out and the Biden Admin. cannot hide reality anymore.

  10902. Remember 18 months ago when CNN/BBC/MSNBC/SKY all had lavishly produced news programs extolling the "bravery" of Westerners joining up to fight "for Democracy" in Ukraine?? They are now all either in Valhalla, or they bugged out last summer before the "Grand Spring Offensive" because they could see the writing on the wall.

  10911. If, If, If....so much crying. Stupid Biden should have known this was unwinnable.
    1
  10912. So, basically our democratic ideals have to be set aside because our proxy Ukraine is losing badly, so make me into the very dictator I'm using our national money to help resist? That about sum it up?
    1
  10913. Russia only has held Bakhmut since they took it in May so the area around it only has hastily constructed defenses. Nothing at all like what they built in the south. However now that the rainy season is a few weeks away, they will have six months to build up the defenses around the city. I saw a report in Times of India this morning that North Korea is to provide construction workers (among other things) for Russia, supposedly to help build cvilian infrastructure in the annexed areas. However, if you believe these construction workers won't be building defensive structures too you probably watch CNN. By next Spring, Bakhmut and the entire area in a 360 degree circle around it will resemble the surface of the Death Star.
    1
  10914. Ukraine in NATO means nuclear war. Putin been saying that for a decade. Its like the Cuban Missile Crisis to the US. There is a point at which a line must be drawn. Kennedy was ready to go nuclear over Cuba in Warsaw Pact....Putin is ready to go nuclear over Ukraine in NATO.
    1
  10915. You're right in the grand scheme of things; over the past 20,000 years of human history. However in "recent" times, past 400 years or so...its been you, the white guy.

  10916. Because the Houthis want Israel to stop bombing Gasa, and the US supports Israel continuing to bomb Gaza, so the Houthis shoot at the US as well as Israel and both shoot back. Question answered.

  10917. I cringed when I saw here the next day with a little slice of pepperoni on her belly as if all her internal organs in and around that beam of light wouldn't have been instantly vaporized. Yet, even that didn't make me cringe as much as the space battle where SIX fighters could not even damage Ahsoka's ship, and even TURBOLASER cannons could only scratch it! I just can't take it anymore...

  10919. I believe it. Zelensky can't even go back to Kyiv as the missiles are falling with ease now. Russia blew up the Patriot battery Germany gave Ukraine ONE day after it arrived.

  10920. Yeah that Q5 looks dated by comparison (because it is). However as usual with HyunKiaGen, once you look beneath the veneer, you see the cheapo family DNA within. The GV70 is the one you'll be happier with on day one; but four years on you'll wish you'd bought the Audi.

Every street corner will be an ambush, every garbage can a bomb, every window will have a sniper, and drones will descend like flies. In the tight urban confines, it will be a bloodbath.
    1
  10933. Biden sent $400M in emergency weapons aid yesterday, using his "drawdown" powers where he doesn't have to get Congress approval. He weakens us constantly to help his pet but it won't do anything but slow storm-Z for another day....
    1
  10934. Western people always think of "offensive" in WW1 or WW2 terms of enormous opening clashes. Uhhh, no. Reality is much different. Ukraine has been making offensive moves for weeks now, what is different is apparently the weather is allowing the use of vehicles and that is what everyone is focusing on very recently. There is heavy fighting all along the front the past week and you can be sure there is a lot of dying on both sides.
    1
  10935. There are reports that they were wearing Russian uniforms which, if true, is a war crime under the Geneva Convention. Surely they knew this and likely didn't plan on surviving very long after contact. No wonder the State Department is strenuously denying any involvement.

  10936. Ahh, Biden ruins yet another solemn moment by making it about his foreign policy goal in Ukraine...diverting attention from what should be the focus of today.

  10939. BRICS nations are just the tip of the iceberg. Virtually all of the planet not currently in NATO, is fervently seeking protection from NATO by joining together. Imagine the level of fear that would push Saudi Arabia to ally itself with Iran. Why does half the world fear NATO so much? Ask yourselves: why do 8 BILLION people seek protection from just 1.1 billion other people?

  10940. You realize ATACMS is just a longer range HIMARS and Russia been shooting down HIMARS with regularity for months, correct?

  10941. I told Biden two years ago don't start a war, they always spiral out of control and cause other wars or escalate. He didn't listen.....and only suffering has followed
    1
  10942. He's crude, but he is 100 percent correct and those of us screaming at our screens the past four years FINALLY have a voice they can't delete/silence/hide. The DEMs want to use the US Military to force their values down the throats of the world and under their leadership, we've become the very tyrants we decry. Yesterday, the UN voted 187-2 for us to end the economic blockade of Cuba. The "2" were us and Israel; who are the "rogue nations" now??

  10943. Talk to a 12 yr old boy and you'll lose all hope for the future...

  10944. We all saw this coming in 2010 or even before. No point crying about it, it was inevitable. A V8 engine and automatic transmission are fiendishly complex mechanical devices requiring mastery China does not have. An EV is just a large phone with seats and wheels; requires things China has been good at for decades.

  10945. Too much Continental------no issue with them, I'm rolling on their tires right now. However one of the best parts of Youtube car reviews was that "amateur" feeling; the reality of a person who is just giving you how they feel without any association with a corporate entity. Now you guys are wearing Continental jackets?? Wish you well in your corporate endeavors but no more of this channel for me...

  10946. The people voting to end all these wars and focus on diplomacy not bombs are “garbage”

  10947. Troops for engineering and support in the rear, not at the Front. Just like NATO planned with French and British and American "contractors". Why the West always cries the loudest whenever people do what they themselves do???

  10948. Assad already blasting Biden for all the people we just killed in Syria. I hope they were the guilty ones...

  10949. ...oh and in today's NY Times: "US admits Russian plane shot down by Patriot missile probably was carrying Ukrainian POWs" Putin always wins.
    1
  10950. The Biden Administration just said the reason they are doing this is because standard ammo production rates are too low to keep up with Ukraine's needs, so they are taking from existing stock these cluster shells to make up for it. NOT because "Russia is doing it too". While that undercuts 90% of those comments saying "Russia does it too!", I find that very, very difficult to believe coming from Biden's gang of military dunderheads.

  10961. Dismantling diplomatic infrastructure is usually a precursor to a Declaration of War.

  10962. Biden announces new aid, highlighting the JSOW guided bomb that the F-16 can carry. Two days later we hear that all the F-16s Ukraine has are now destroyed, most on the ground, by kinzhal strikes from Mig-31K last week. Perfect example of why this stupid, wasteful war must end now. Ukraine can never win in a thousand years of trying, no matter what we give them. We, of course could win vs. Russia but then we all go up in smoke eventually so what is the point? End the war. NOW

  10963. I have zero actual problem with Melania. None. She is an innocent caught up in events so far beyond her understanding she is like a pet chihuahua on the battleship Arizona in 1941. I wish her and her son a nice quiet rest of their lives in complete obscurity.

  10964. Ukraine actually got more from the deal Zelensky signed in 2022. All the Ukrainians who have fallen since Boris Johnson convinced Zelensky to break his word, fell in vain.... Imagine living the rest of your years with that on your conscience.

  10965. This guy (and his handlers). If Russia has the ability to knock our satellites spying on them out of the sky above them, that is THEIR right! It is THEIR sky, not ours! If you are so "threatened" by this, re-task the satellites so they don't fly over Russia. Problem solved.
    1
  10966. The only argument one can make against buying this today, is that you can wait and buy it in 2031 and it will look, sound, and run exactly as you see here today. In terms of build quality, nothing---not even a Bentley---can touch this. Toyota has been best on Earth at this for 40 years running. If you feel this is "only" F Sport and not full F (and you want that F level performance), RC-F or RC-F Fuji is right there with same engine for you. If this thing had a manual trans option, it would be as if God Himself descended to Earth just to give you his car to drive.

  10968. "Freedom and Chaos" , eh? "Negotiation and diplomacy to end the war in Ukraine and 'A Decade of War' with Russia (as Stoltenberg just said yesterday)". Hmmmm, choice is easy...."
    1
  10969. Then the war is almost over. Putin's problem with Ukraine is its membership in NATO, which will result in US and UK flooding the land with missiles and filling the Black Sea with their ships. If that is off the table, one of the main causes of the war has now been extinguished. All that remains is who gets what land.

  10970. Very true. The "old rules" are old for a reason: they've WORKED for thousands of years. Women should always marry "up" (man of more success, education, resources), while men should marry "up" (in terms of a woman of more beauty, class, breeding and non-financial advantages). These are very old rules because a human born 3000 years ago is no different than one born 30 hours ago, and such rules preserve the natural order between man and woman.
    1
  10971. The next missile salvo, US Navy will "allow" one of them to hit a warship, giving Biden the pretext to attack Iran. Which, of course, has always been the goal of this deployment. Remember, Iran is about to get Su-35s from Russia (so far they've only received the trainer jets needed for their pilots, no actual Su-35s yet). Iran enlarged their hardened bunkers for the Su-35 last year, and of course you know they basically have "the bomb" already. Once Iran has Su-35s with nuclear-tipped hypersonic missiles, the balance of power in the ME changes. United States is not going to allow that to come to pass. Put the pieces together and the picture becomes clear.

  10972. Biden looks completely pathetic. So the people paying real money have to wait behind the one getting welfare?? Imagine going to the grocery store and the people on benefits get served before you.

  10974. NATO already given this guy more arms and support the value of which exceeds all of Russia 2022 defense budget. NATO will own Ukraine's land, people and GDP for the next century. When this is all over, Ukraine will owe me a tall blond wife.

  10975. That is a really good looking car. I don't want an EV but if I were forced to drive one I'd be OK with this, as it has a hooded binnacle IP and knobs and buttons for basic functions. EVs are finally becoming a "car" instead of some weirdo vision of "the future"[TM]
    1
  10976. If you read between the lines the past couple months, the picture becomes clearer. NATO is now in "preserve whats left" mode. They have plans to build war factories in Ukraine. Lloyd Austin visited last week and told Ukraine to build defenses with "dragons teeth" around Kharkiv. Japan pledged reconstruction funds. US is appealing in secret to Russia for some kind of "pause* (which of course they reject). The West plan B is now to save what is left, build it up, admit it into EU and Ukraine lives on just 20% smaller. Problem is, Putin just went on live TV and said "that aint happening"
    1
  10977. Biden just approved ATACMS; reeks of desperation as they won't even be available for months. Meanwhile the T-54 still serving its country and winning the war for them. LOL.
    1
  10978. Zelensky yesterday demands "25 Patriot systems of 6 to 8 batteries each" or Ukraine will lose. That is about FIFTY BILLION DOLLARS not even including the missiles. The weapons portion of this $60B aid bill is only $30B; the rest is cash to Ukraine to pay salaries and keep the country afloat. So, in very real terms, we could approve this tomorrow and by Friday Zelensky will be on CNN again asking for another $45B.
    1
  10979. Of course an American military man would laugh at this; he has not lived a single day in his life where the US was not by far the biggest military spender on Earth. It is unfathomable to his mind and the minds of Americans. We don't even keep 70 year old tanks "just in case", let alone would ever imagine we'd have to resort to such measures as we've never had to endure 20M casualties to stave off invasion and defeat. However, its reasons like this Russia usually outlasts her enemies...

  10980. ​ @Blade56762 Ukraine not part of NATO, under what authority they chose Ukraine as opposed to the dozen other countries currently "attacked by their neighbor"??

  10982. Cope harder.
    1
  10983.  @pauldespre  Right. Putin lies and NATO tells the "truth". Whatever. Putin wants to rebuild the USSR, and the United States wants to see Russia a servile nation. Both sides are full of BS as to why they are really fighting. The Cold War continues then.
    1
  10984. Strykers and Marders clearly seen in HD video on BBC and CNN, even a Ford F-150 painted green on CNN just this morning. Europeans just doing what they apparently can't stop themselves from doing. Poles in 1612. Swedes in 1708. French in 1812. Germans in 1941. Now, the AmeriBrits in 2024 (whose proxy army contains Poles, Swedes, French, and Germans). Are ya'll noticing a pattern here?? Is there a reason Europeans keep trying to invade Russia???"
    1
  10985. That looks like video from Ukraine. Automatic weapon shooting up a house in Richardson?? May not see that again until the 2030s...
    1
  10986. Like I said, this is about the war after the Ukraine war. I hope no one reading is fool enough to believe Ukraine is anything other than Round 1 of NATO vs. CRINK. Putin knows NK is the weakest of the four, and the rest must strengthen NK for the wars of 2027-2035.

  10987. Why was it so much in NATO interest that the war with Russia continue?? How would Ukraines neutrality like Finland once was, hurt NATO??

  10988. Stelvio only appeals to the very upper crust of society.

  10989. Putin has a law degree AND a PhD in Economics. It is no accident he has outfoxed Western leaders for almost 20 years and NATO sanctions are easily countered by Russia.
    1
  10990. If that is "Plan A", then we wasted the jet fuel to fly Napolensky here to tell Biden to his face, because I can answer that right now: HELL NO. Biden's words at the start of the SMO: "I am not seeking a war with Russia". Even if he changed his mind, he has 3 months left in his term and the US Congress WILL ABSOLUTELY NOT authorize a declaration of war with Russia. Imho, the J.D. Vance option is what is most likely: RU keeps what it has, a DMZ is created between, and remnant Ukraine goes on living like they would have after the 2022 Istanbul agreement.

  10991. I work for a giant auto manufacturer. Our bonus is going to be the highest in our history. It is actually the maximum allowed under the bonus formula; it could have been higher but the calculator is as if profit this high would never be possible. Fewer cars means higher prices and overbuilding by makers will never happen again.
    1
  10992. Ukraine's problem is NATO. If they get rid of NATO they can keep most of their land (the annexed areas and Crimea are gone forever). If Ukraine kicked out NATO, as Niger is trying to do, the war ends tomorrow. They can then come to some accomodation with Russia while someone like China becomes the intermediary. This was basically Xi's Peace Plan from March that NATO (obviously) wouldn't let Zelensky consider.

  10993. You can tell by how quiet the UKR fanbois are that they know its over too...
    1
  10994. The issue is not this specific attack, the danger is now the US will feel like "hey, nothing happened; we can send 1000 tomahawks in there and the Russians won't do anything." A lot of wars in history have begun because one side was "boxed in" by the other and felt they had no choice....

  11000. The X3, X5, and X7 are BMW's bread and butter. Say what you will, they nailed the "upper middle class" vehicle perfectly. You really can't say anything bad about these. They are exceptionally well built, with a ton of features, interior quality you simply can't get on any car other than maybe their fellow Germans and Lexus, and the dynamic excellence that is BMW. I don't really care for SUV's but if I had to go SUV it would only be BMW, the F-Pace SVR, or the Stelvio Quad. That's it.

  11006. It is a close race; it always is. However if it breaks big one way, my belief is that will be for Trump. The Democrat Party wants to send US troops into Ukraine; it is the ONLY way the troops from other NATO countries will go (and UK, FR, Poland, + the little Baltics all want to go too). NO one will go without the US though, and that can't happen without Congress Approval. If Harris wins and the DEMs get Congress it will guarantee a US Army deployment to Ukraine I cannot believe a majority of the US population wants to risk open war with Russia over Ukraine so I believe Trump will win, and he'll win big.

  11010. Nationalism doesn't work in the modern Age. Maybe 20,000 years ago, every "like minded group" carving out their own defined space made sense, but in the past 1500 years it just creates war. Imagine every "group" on earth wanting their own "country" with good land, good access to rivers or oceans, and natural resources to sustain them? There'd be a new war every hour and borders would change every day.

  11011. US did the same with Russian helicopter pilot a couple months ago. All is fair.

  11014. This is why Trump is going to win. The United States is currently involved in at least three active wars . Whenver something happens anywhere, the world thinks we either did it, or approved it. This is madness. Trump will remove the US from all this foolishness. In Star Wars, the Empire didn't run around the Galaxy involving itself in small wars between planets or systems. There were no wars between planets or systems . When you are truly strong, you do not have to fight.

  11020. The offensive has failed completely. Six miles of territory in ONE sector for $13B and 50,000 casualties?? Russia is going on the offensive soon so Ukraine isn't going to get another chance to just bulk up and go after an enemy just hunkered down waiting for them. It's over.

Orlan drones just sit unbothered 80 km inside Ukraine territory, directing missiles to anything that even looks like an ammo dump or factory. Don't even believe for a second Ukraine can hide such factories as there are many in Ukraine who are pro-Russia; Putin sees everything, knows everything, and punishes everything.

  11035. Viceroy Zelensky now states the goal is to survive 2024, and hope that hundreds of billions in more Western weapons, plus the freshly trained 150K conscripts, AND somehow NATO convincing China to stop helping Russia will all together be enough for them to try another counteroffensive in 2025. That is their "victory plan" as of today. Hope, freshly trained conscripts, and somehow Those are his words.

  11036. Vote Trump. The 75-year commitment to World Peace enforced by our tax money has never produced any "peace", and only left our home front a crumbling mess bereft of sufficient public resources for decades.

In the current economy, with layoffs among the high-paid tech crowd this is aimed at, how many buyers are able to lease this for $1700/$2000 a month?? This is for doctors only....and not pediatricians, only the surgeons.

  11040. Preparing us to send our sons into the meat grinder once there is no more Ukrainian meat. I can tell you there will be Civil War in the United States before that ever happens. A President will have to ask Congress for a Declaration of War against Russia, which will fail 100% of the time. Then, they'll try some "Peacekeeping via UN" BS to get our soldiers there and thats when the lid will come off.

  11043. What is wrong with the West??? Why are they so afraid of anyone who thinks differently?? Every government that wants to go another way, large or small, must be threatened with war. Last week US send three diplomats to Niger; they insulted and threatened the government so badly the next day the US was ordered out of the country immediately. If there is any group on the earth that would build a Death Star to terrorize the galaxy...its NATO.

Putin is not stupid enough to piss off Trump and make an enemy where there is none. He hasn't made it 25 years kicking Western leaders in the azz by being stupid....

Oh, OK...that makes it all fine then, go on about your business....

  11062. Iran needs to formally Ally itself with Russia (and China too if they can do so). The US will give Israel everything it wants to respond and I mean everything .

  11064. Russian Parliament just passed a law that private armies must be under Military control.

His timing was perfect----the execution----left a bit to be desired...

  11069. We have learned that our democratically elected governments (Biden, Austin, and Milley especially) will lie to us in order to sustain their political goals. We've learned that Russia has proven to be far more resourceful and robust than our leaders have told us. We've learned that Biden and NATO ignoring Russia's peace terms in September 2021 was a gamble that led directly to war. A war which, in spite of their lies and obfuscations, is truly a Proxy War in which NATO is 'nads deep into direct conflict with Russia. We have learned a lot, and almost none of it is good.

  11075. Zelensky is most to blame, but the people must also accept blame. They sit there for 8 years listening to foreigners tell them Russia is their enemy when they've been cousins for 1500 GDF'ing years! Should have voted out and chased out those Nationalists!!

  11076. BS. Once Zelensky is gone, war ends and Ukraine becomes peaceful again
    1
  11077. Yesterday's NYT ran an Editorial that we should "Help Ukraine hold the line", by passing this aid. Notice what they said: hold the line ...... not "win". Nobody, not even Vicky Nuland herself, believes Ukraine can push Russia out of Crimea and the annexed regions. No, even the NYT admits just "giving Ukraine a better negotiating position" is the goal. SIXTY BILLION DOLLARS and actually winning is hopeless. Do supporters of this aid realize how stupid that sounds?? That's not coming from MAGA-world; that is coming from your own side !!
    1
  11078. You can sense the fatalism in Ukraine's leadership over the past two weeks. Zelensky's haggard look at the UN and being ghosted embarrassingly in Polane right after. Budanov's nasty comments about NATO in general having more to give but won't, and saying that "Abrams tanks won't change a thing". They know they are doomed, but they long ago decided they cannot live in a world where Russia is victorious. So they will do the honorable thing and die fighting. I do not expect Zelensky to flee into exile and would be surprised if he did. He will remain in Kyiv as the Russian steamroller pulverizes it next year. As well he should...a true leader shares the same fate as those he leads, for better or worse.
    1
  11079. I'd bet all $30 in my 401K that the Biden Administration is scrambling to get Zelensky out of the country at this very moment, if they have not already done so.

  11080. Is Zelensky "responsible" for Gonzalo Lira (a flippin US CITIZEN) who recently died in a Ukrainian prison because SBU arrested him for speaking out against Zelensky??
    1
  11081. Lots of finger pointing in Kyiv Times about whose fault it is the country didn't dig strong fortifications sooner. NATO assured them they'd never have to , and couldn't really help them anyway as US Army has no trench digging equipment attached to any formations. US Army never think it would ever need to build a defensive line.... Yet more NATO failure. 😅

  11082. It is a "balkenkreuz" (Balkan Cross). Ukrainian Azovites say it was their symbol long before the Nazi's took it and it doesn't mean they too are Nazis. If you believe them...

  11083. When do enough American voices rise up and say "enough!" This is the stupidest war ever, "managed" by NATO in the stupidest way possible, almost as if ensuring Ukraine is populated by grandpas and little boys for the next 20 years was the goal all along. Biden, Austin, and Milley will be savaged in future Congressional hearings on just how badly they bungled this

  11091. Modern drones all look very similar; just like WW2 aircraft all look similar. Aerodynamics and the requirements of the mission; pretty much every Predator-type drone, no matter where its from looks like a-----Predator.

  11092. It will be "Reichstag" time in Kyiv very soon; all the "big fish" in this fight who have been using Ukraine as their battleground are about to make a mad dash for territory to use in post-war negotiations.

  11097. It didn't "fall" into Russian hands. They took that isht the hard way paying the price in blood. We know you are partisan, but give them credit where due. Prigozhin always respects the Ukrainians he is fighting.
    1
  11098. Once you've studied history enough, you literally can almost become the closest thing to a Wizard that sees the future. I said two years ago that Biden eschewing talks with Russia and arming Ukraine to go to war would have knock-on effects the likes of which no one could predict. In the two years since, NATO has been proven to be weaker than anyone thought and the World watches and takes note of EVERYTHING. Every time you see a story about how UK has only "40 operational tanks", or "US is out of artillery shells" , or "Germany cannot find more than 60 operational Leopard 2's to give", the entire planet hears that. These are the sights and sounds of history shifting and changing: Xi/Putin Summit, BRICS, Coups and attempted Coups, NK long range missiles, Iran as drone supplier to the world, etc. Biden's War has opened Pandora's Box.

  11099. This fact is obvious for a year now but the West controls most news so....

  11105. Putin always pays his debts.

  11106. A lot of NATO bots yapping online don't realize that only the US Congress can Declare War on Russia, not President Biden. Biden cannot initiate an Act of War with another country just because he wants to. If US doesn't jump in; none of the other NATO countries will....
    1
  11107. Russia is crushing the life out of Ukraine. Ever since the Fall of Bakhmut they have had the initiative. If they are smart, they won't even bother with fussing about drone attacks on Moscow. Just put a few more AA defenses around and do their best; drones cannot hurt Russia. What they are doing in Ukraine is what is winning them the war----keep the focus there.

  11108. Go home and Zelensky will put you in a trench

  11109. Those Houthi kamikaze drones look like they cost about $500 at most. That's why bombing the country does nothing; their attacks require ZERO infrastructure.

  11110. Wow....Ukraine announces full mobilization and martial law, cracking under the pressure of relentless Russian assaults. Then a few days later this. Just when they have NATO on the ropes, they snatch defeat from the jaws of victory....

  11111. F-Pace SVR does 0-60 in 3.7 and has all the ultra-lux, utility and good looks of this, plus a simple Ford-derived supercharged V8 that has only been in use 12 years in 600,000 vehicles with great longevity and a bulletproof ZF trans. Oh, and it cost $40K less.... I know you have to be rich to buy this, but clearly you don't have to be smart...
    1
  11112. All I know for sure is that was not an Iskander strike. There is zero blast damage to the exterior and if an Iskander went inside the whole building would have been blown apart outward. Always remember Ukraine and the West media only show what they want you to see

  11119. There are thousands of NATO personnel in Ukraine in training, logistics, support. Come on man, you know this.
    1
  11120. Well we know by this video it wasn't a Kh-101 or Kalibr as those have wings, it wasn't a Kinzhal of Iskander as they would have a distinctive orange "plasma shield" around them as they move at Mach 6, ionizing the air adjacent. All that is left is a Kh-32 but those move at Mach 4.6 so very unlikely to be caught on a cell phone camera at 60 fps. When you rule out all the possible, you are left with the truth...."
    1
  11121. Yes, but it is purely symbolic. Even that warmonger Blinken admits "they won't affect the outcome of this offensive, and will only allow Ukraine to establish local air superiority over Kyiv's skies". Russia is more annoyed than afraid: 24 planes the Danes were retiring next year anyway, plus 18 more that have been up for sale for years. 42 planes like so many 2012 Kias on a cheap car lot. Against 800 Su-27s, Su-30s, and Su-35s. Ummm, yeah....ok. Another "game changer" burning on the Steppe like all the others before it ..
    1
  11122. All these reports in West Media the last few days about "thousands" of NK troops and then Zelensky says "we are now fighting them" and zero independent proof anywhere of this. All you have is a video of two guys walking into a house.... I always felt like when Austin said "the NK's are using Russian uniforms" that was their way of being able to point to any future video and say "...see! These are North Korean soldiers fighting in Ukraine!". Can't trust those Ukrainians or the ones in the US holding the leash...

  11126. RU has to start taking AFU units off the chessboard completely. Joe Biden is hurrying a lot of weapons to be delivered before January (in case Trump wins) which will just make the war last a little longer. However if AFU has no units to give the weapons to, then its just as if they didn't have them. These "pincers" need to be closed and the unit inside removed from the fight; the more that happens the faster this will end.

  11127. Yesterday Ukraine fired all 32 missiles from a Patriot battery in Kyiv, and the Kinzhal still hit the Directorate of Intelligence building. $132M in ammo gone in an hour. 🙂

  11128. This will all get tidied up with F-16. This 47 years old plane will defeat Russia.

  11129. Actually there's no reason you'd ever have thought that other than Trump ran under GOP (who historically HAVE been the warmonger party). Trump was Isolationist from day one.

  11132. Read that NY Times article yesterday about all the CIA bases that are now at risk as Russia's advancements brings them closer to them. If the aid doesn't pass soon, many will have to be abandoned. The Times framed that fact to urge people to support more aid, but I didn't take it that way. I no longer can tell where the line between "Ukraine" and "United States" is; I wonder do these men even know? Or care? I now believe the sooner the United States gets its claws out of Ukraine, the better for the people living there...

  11136. It isn't "slower"; it has been beaten back across the entire front for two months!! The West is like a groom that, in spite of months of evidence his bride is a Succubus, still has hope that he can change the outcome of their marriage and avoid his doom. Russia has defeated Leopard, AMX10, Bradley, Avenger, HIMARS, JDAM, Switchblade, Patriot, CAESAR, Gephard, Excalibur, M777, Stinger, Milan, Javelin, Storm Shadow, (and Challenger was prohibited from use by UK so it's the same as it not being there). None of that can even be disputed. Russia defeated two of the largest armies in history in Napoleon and Hitler; little Ukraine never had a chance.
    1
  11137. MSNBC reports the Biden Administration is trying to sanction him; cut off his banking, his credit cards, his passport, probably levy his assets, take his car, his house, everything. When he comes home he'll have to live in a tent under a bridge in Los Angeles. There really is no "law" he is breaking by interviewing President Putin, so making his private life miserable is about all they can do.
    1
  11138. LOL. Mr. Clarke the infamous "analyst" who said RU only had "shovels" right before they took Bakhmut. How this guy still has a job I'll never understand. The entirety of all NATO armies are also "inexperienced"; when was the last time any of the 31 countries fought a peer opponent? 1945? West just jealous they can't "officially" put their armies into Ukraine to get some invaluable experience as well.... 😂

  11139. Why are "convicted violent felons" not inside a prison? Why are illegal immigrant gang-bangers inside our country?
    1
  11140. Two months of "offensive" and front lines haven't changed since April, 2022....if anything Russians have more territory than they had a year ago. In four days Russia has blitzed just ONE city with over 100 missiles and drones, oh and during that time they also shattered at least four massive Ukrainian armored attacks all along the front. Ukraine doesn't even use Western armor anymore as Britain told them "don't use our Challengers in risky operations". In war, what operation of a tank is not "risky"?? Now Odessa is closed for the duration of the war as there are 8 warships in the Black Sea, and they moved 8 more into the Mediterranean. Each armed with 16 Kalibr missiles, and an unknown number of submarines capable of firing the Oniks supersonic anti-ship missile. NOTHING will move in/out of Odessa until this war is over.
    1
  11141. Russian missiles are superior to anything NATO has.
    1
  11142. The arms factories running day and night are in the Ural Mountains, about 2000 miles away from Ukraine. They are doing the same job they did 80 years ago; out of reach of the enemy and churning out the guns that will give Russia a shattering final victory.
    1
  11143. Ukraine in NATO means Article 5 gets triggered meaning Portugal will have to immediately go to war with Russia. Who has made this man believe he and his fliedgling country are so important that the destruction of the planet is worth the risk in order for him to get what he wants??
    1
  11144. Ukraine has no qualms about storing NATO weapons in civilian buildings either, correct? This is well documented fact the entire war. Russia hits any base or depot mercilessly; Ukraine has had to hide NATO weapons in civilian areas. That is why sometimes a missile hits a civilian building and the explosion looks like a tactical nuclear warhead detonation. Bingo!
    1
  11145. That Prigozhin, dont know whether to love him or hate him
    1
  11146. Wait, the Mighty Leopard 2 has been blown away repeatedly by $500 Lancet drones (33 confirmed kills so far, including the one on display in Moscow), and trash talk about a Russian tank?? A British channel too, when the Challenger 2 is STILL TOTALLY UNSEEN in battle?? As we say in Texas: "Ya'll are all hat and no cattle!"
    1
  11147. They are estimates; everyone knows that. What matters is that for every Russian casualty, there are three Ukrainian (or more). As long as that metric holds up, Russia wins going away.

  11148. "I'm sorry sweetheart!" ---- AFTER the bullets enter the predator's body. There are no words...

  11149. Biden Policy: 1. Unlimited illegal immigration 2. Student loan wipeouts for losers who didn't graduate or were too stupid to major in a marketable skill 3. War with Russia where we either lose or "win" by half the country being immolated Easy choice, eh?
    1
  11150. The irony. I was just watching a Swedish Archer artillery gun get taken out by a Lancet yesterday. $10M artillery piece demilitarized by $4000 Lancet kamikaze drone. I'm starting to believe Russia does not want this war to end. $1B Patriot taken out by $3M Iskander. $20M Abrams taken out by $4000 Lancet. The longer this war goes on, the more all of NATO's wealthiest countries will begin to resemble Venezuela. Scholz saw the writing on the wall and said "HELL NO!" again today to send Taurus missile to Ukraine. Germany has lost $600B just on the price of having to buy LNG from America as opposed to Russia; this goes on much longer Germany will become Romania.
    1
  11151. Kim wants his best men to get experience and SK and Japan are terrified of this. You can tell US is panicking because no one even sure what to do and Blinken and Austin may not even be around in 3 months. Putin really got NATO again...
    1
  11152. The details are coming in the past few hours. It was an Iskander. I knew it had to be something big to hollow out half a 20 story building like that. Mach 5.9 max hypersonic with 5-7 meter accuracy from 500 km away. Gawd Dam!
    1
  11153. Just Putin (and now Xi) giving us a taste of our own medicine; responding to Blinken in the only way he understands. Don't fret; this is good for us----we NEED to know that others can protect themselves. We've been the "bully" so long, most of us can't see it. It really is better for world peace that there is a credible check on American power because as we all know: "absolute power corrupts absolutely"..."
    1
  11154. HIMARS shot down. M777 low on ammo and Lancet drone killed almost all of them. JDAM jammed and turned into WW2 bomb. Switchblade drone gps blocked and fall out of sky like flies in cloud of Raid. Patriot neutered by Kinzhal. Russia has defeated every "game changer" superweapon sent by the Biden Administration in this war. Now the grand finale: Ukraine forced by pressure from the US/UK to go right into the teeth of the Russian defenses that have been sitting waiting for them for 9 months. With no air cover. Yet we are expected to believe they have a chance.
    1
  11155. Isn't this a form of "cultural appropriation" and "changing history"? Ukraine has been part of Russia since the time of the Kievan Rus, it was Ukrainains that spearheaded taking Crimea back from the Wehrmacht in 1944. Removing emblems aint gonna change that----people will still remember it a thousand years from now.
    1
  11156. Ukraine is now digging up old graves to bury the thousands killed the past three weeks. In "months" Zelensky will have no army to protect with an F-16

  11157. That sound!!!! Want!!!

  11158. The past four days Ukraine has been stuck in and around Robotyne and the Russians, having them bottled up on three sides, are ABSOLUTELY MASSACRING them with thermobaric rockets and 1000 pound guided bombs. Those are devastating area-effect weapons that don't have to actually hit anything to obliterate anything in a dense area. "ADVANCING" my azz!!! They go ten steps forward then get annihilated, then they send a few hundred more soldiers in and report to the West "well we got 10 feet further last time so we are advancing". When the numbers come out jaws will drop-----NYT said up to 500K casualties for AFU and that was a MONTH ago.

  11159. Russia air strategy is to destroy NATO weapons where they are stored. Thats why these cataclysmic explosions in Ukraine cities as these missiles hit their mark.

  11160. How do they help in Avdiivka and Kupiansk?
    1
  11161. Russia aint "withdrawing" from Crimea in your lifetime.

  11162. If this doesn't push him to use them, then probably no conventional weapon will. This missile basically turns Sevastopol into "Pearl Harbor" and the UK has donated the "Imperial Japanese Fleet" to Ukraine...

  11163. Russia has won (who didn't know that already). Negotiate and stop throwing more lives away for no purpose. Ukraine and NATO have lost.
    1
  11164. RU is fighting to prevent being enslaved to US/UK. EU is fighting for all the grain and LNG they spent a decade investing in Ukraine. As you can imagine; neither side is willing to back down. It will be NATO vs. Russia sooner or later...may as well just start now and get it over with.

  11165. FIVE of Budanov's guys secretly working for Russia?? That is big news; no wonder I don't see it on BBC or CNN.

  11166. You leave out the part where the CIA installed a puppet government headed by Zelensky in 2014. No one in 1994 saw that one coming.
    1
  11167. Nope.
    1
  11168. I would not have said this two years ago, but I now believe we have a military and civilian leadership that will possibly take us into the Abyss. By that I mean war with significant US casualties. Vietnam ended 50 years ago, if you were any kind of rank above Captain in that war, you are in your 80s now. Today's military brass are the Desert Storm generation; they think they know what war is but they are mistaken. They don't fear entering the "Abyss" because they've never been inside it; if you sent them to Iwo Jima or Okinawa in 1945 they'd run screaming home to mommy. For 60 years Russia rightly believed the West would avoid war at almost any cost, because most in power had experienced its horrors firsthand. That is no longer true.

  11171. This is why you have Cayman GT4s to buy today. 20 years ago Porsche was on the verge of bankruptcy----the Cayenne saved Porsche. The 25K a year of these Porsche sells at absurd prices is what generates the profits that gives us 911s.

  11174. I learned many years ago that fuel made by oil companies is usually the highest quality, so I have generally stuck to Shell, Mobil, Valero and other stations that are actually oil companies for my "good" cars, like Audi/BMW/Corvette/Jag etc. For my Toyota/Ford/Buick I just get whatever and I've never had an issue. Believe me, there IS a difference. A few years back on my first road trip in my new Alfa Romeo Giulia, I stopped at some random gas station in Little Rock, AR. I began gassing up, and before my wife even got back from the bathroom the car began sputtering and revving in a way I'd never seen before. I was shocked, but assumed it was cheap gas and just drove on. Nothing happened on the way home, and I've never seen that again since (never gassed up in Little Rock since). Imho, Euro cars its better to stick to the top brands, Asian and domestic you can put anything in there...

  11175. I would not put it past him; Putin is smarter than every Western leader he's come up against for 20 years running. He knew that if he forced US to choose between Israel and Ukraine; they'd go Israel 100% of the time.
    1
  11176. This is Endgame time. No one, especially Russia, wants this to drag on for years. Ukraine is on the ropes; they have too few men, too few tanks, and too little ammunition. A year from now they'll have tons of all three. Putin knows the time to crush them is now. He is sending everyone; EVERYONE.

  11178. Is EU going to call for "a swift probe of alleged irregularities in the United States election" too?

  11179. Gather the bodies of the killed, find out if they were backed by CIA or MI6 as we all know Ukraine sent them. If so, inflict retribution on the relevant foreign intelligence service.

  11180. WW3 started in 2022; the opening act is just ending and the main act is about to begin.
    1
  11181. Wars always reach their highest level of intensity of violence right before they end. Ukraine can't have much in reserve; they've been low on manpower and ammo for months, Russia has blown up many ammo dumps all month, and you can see that Ukraine is hoarding its remaining Leopards/Bradleys/Challengers and only using T-64/72 in all its attacks the past two weeks. Some brigades are faking equipment failure so as not to be sent on suicide attacks, Russians posted vid of captured AMX10 with instruction manual littered on the ground, they beg for F-16s, etc. The evidence Ukraine is cracking under the strain abounds. The apotheosis of this war is upon us soon...
    1
  11182. I mean....they ARE fighting 30 other countries who have donated arms to their enemy the value of which exceeds all of Russia's 2022 military budget. It would be like the Empire from Star Wars attacking the United States....probably be tough for us to win too ,eh?
    1
  11183. Why would they? They are winning.

  11184. Russia has 10x more of everything than Ukraine has and they have cluster bombs too so how can it "change" anything?
    1
  11185. They spend 9 weeks learning trench warfare and then get sent to Kursk where there are no trenches. Sounds about Ukrainian...
    1
  11186. Anyone else find it odd Zelensky flies back to US so quickly after he was just here a few days ago for the EXACT SAME purpose? I wondered that since yesterday when I heard he was coming back; what could have changed in just five days? Russian hackers knocked out cell, and banking services in Ukraine today; 5 hours ago there was a report that "Kyivstar" the largest mobile phone service in Ukraine is down. Zelensky suddenly flies back to the US a DAY BEFORE Russian hackers take down cell service (on which early warning of air strkes is broadcast), and banking services?? CIA got his butt out of there just in time!!!

  11189. The Nordic dominated West tried to subdue Russia in 1812 and 1941 , for the same reason...jealousy of her vast resources. This week they tried for a 3rd time in history; the results will be the same. Note to kids under age 40 with bad US public education: People like Col. Cedric Leighton are called Nordics. "Nordic" - The Nordics inhabit the countries around the North and Baltic Seas and include not only the great Scandinavian and Teutonic groups, but also other early peoples who first appear in southern Europe and in Asia as representatives of Aryan language and culture.""
    1
  11190. A fair bit of bias and propaganda, but compared to CNN this is about the most objective assessment you are likely to see in US media. While most of what she said is true, she leaves out a ton of context. The drone hits on Russia are like mosquito bites to an elephant; broken condo windows and a few refinery fires affect ZERO Russian combat potential. On the flip side, Russian missile strikes result in blasts that light up the night sky in Ukraine like a tactical nuke, as tons of NATO ammo is obliterated---ammo that even NATO is hard pressed to replace. Also, Putin announced two days ago they are going to protect Belgorod from the Ukrainian insurgents by creating a new buffer zone, and 40K Wagners with the Chechens as well are already there; the best storm troopers on Earth poised to annihilate the little band of guerillas Kyiv sent there. These troops did not come from Kherson or Zaporizhzhia---they came from Bakhmut area and have been resting and refitting since the fall of Bakhmut. Fortress Zaporizhzhia is stronger than it was two weeks ago.
    1
  11191. I hope the leaders in emerging parts of Asia, Africa, South America are watching and studying all this intently. If you plan to become one of the "big boys" of the 21st century, you better put 10% of your GDP into tanks, guns, drones, supercarriers, destroyers, subs, frigates, missiles of every kind, and a standing professional army. You better protect yourself, because when the isht hits the fan, no one else is gonna protect you. Words don't mean anything; might makes right.
    1
  11192. I voted for Trump for Isolationism, but I knew full well he has a "blind spot" for Israel. Hope it doesn't turn out to be a disaster like Ukraine and hope none of our people die. We are a great country, but we start too many stupid wars....
    1
  11193. Biden's "Israel" rules, means the world now doesn't have to listen to the UN or any words about "proportionate response".
    1
  11194. Go hard to remind everyone who is in charge and deter anyone else who got funny ideas. Arrest anyone who even gave Prigozhin a shave. Drop missiles on any NATO personnel in Ukraine---don't treat them as "trainers", treat them as the "combatants" they are. Stop going easy on Kyiv.....15 months into the war with no sign of willingness to talk, start turning it in to rubble. Make it look like Bakhmut. Russia's fleet is doing nothing in this war as Ukraine has no ships. Find something for them to do; park a dozen of them in the Black Sea and reduce Odessa to flaming ruin. Go hard.

  11195. Once they make the United States irrelevant, they will turn on each other.

  11196. "A woman who didn't need to be saved by the men.." We call that "wokeism" today and Disney shoves it down our throats. Yet when I saw Star Wars at age 10, I never thought for a second I was being indoctrinated by an agenda. The way Leia stood up to Vader in the opening scenes established her as fearless and inventive.
    1
  11197. Biden and Putin should just get in the ring and settle it. All this is really between them; why do all the rest of us have to suffer?
    1
  11198. Russia is about to fire a million of them at Ukraine, they want to make sure no slack in supply because what they are about to do will use up all their domestic production.
    1
  11199. If Ukraine actually tries it, none of these guys will be alive by Christmas. Russia has SIX layers of defensive positions, plus artillery superiority, tank superiority, air superiority, drone superiority, missile superiority, and manpower superiority. If Ukraine attacks prepared defenses they will be annihilated.
    1
  11200. Just read that Ukraine has launched Storm Shadow via Su-24 FLYING FROM A NATO COUNTRY!! That is a MAJOR escalation and if true means Russia will Kinzhal the base it came from as Putin has promised. Don't know what country yet...but I'd put $1000 it is Poland. Biden and NATO don't want to lose!!
    1
  11201. Yeah but at the cost of how many casualties? Outside the Western News bubble, the news is "bloody fighting for meaningless gains" for the past three days.
    1
  11202. "Support" yeah food and blankets....
    1
  11203. Germany can't afford to keep buying gas from US at 4x what Russia charged. They have to tap out...."

  11204. Just watched the full vid; Telegraph cut out a lot. Not because Carlson is wrong (who here believes the West Media doesn't omit many facts about the war in Ukraine? We hear about the Russian warship sunk, but NEVER about when Russia hits something important); but because he kind of slams the West Media as a whole, of which the Telegraph is a part. They left the important parts in though: He is there. He is going to interview Putin. He believes we all should hear from BOTH sides equally. We shall see..
    1
  11205. Well the fact that Zelensky is demanding FIFTY Patriot batteries (more than the US even has to give) to provide AA cover for his offensive tells me he knows what'll happen if he sends all those guys forward with Russia having 900 fighters and Ukraine having only 80.
    1
  11206. Because US is nasty racist place that calls them "ishthole"? Just a thought...
    1
  11207. Lies. Ukraine has already begun offensive probing/shaping attacks on multiple fronts. Zelensky is learning from Prigozhin; make public statements that have no basis in reality to confuse your enemies. 🙂 Zelensky is truthful about one thing though; whatever the outcome, many Ukrainians will die.
    1
  11208. I'm 48 and never in my life have I seen such a thing: Iran (IRAN!) has sent a guided missile frigate, not a little speedboat, a "surface combatant" into the Red Sea where the US Navy is currently in active military operation. Just as US sent their ships to protect their ally Israel, Iran sent its ship to protect its ally the Houthis. Sure the magnitude differential is huge; but there is no differential in the "message". Iran is now "speaking" on US' terms. We are watching the sights and sounds of history shifting and changing.
    1
  11209. Let me give you an example of the level of cope by NATO fans. I said "this 1000 km2 territory taken Western media keeps reporting hasn't changed in four days". A NATO-bot said in response: "...well by rounding, "1000 km2" could be 1100, 1200, 1300 or 1400 and would still be technically "1000 km2". I am not joking..... 🤣🤣🤣

  11210. The Ghost of Jordan!!

  11211. don't forget the grain! Ukraine is "breadbasket of Europe" and Cargill, Monsanto, Nestle, and ADM all have shares in Ukrainian farming companies.
    1
  11212. ...or you want no part of the "change" the last 20 years has brought? All about perspective.
    1
  11213. In 2022, Switchblade was given to Ukraine with great fanfare; that was back when most of the world believed in "Western Superiority". Reality was quick and brutal and the myth was shattered; RU jammed GPS and the expensive switchblades fell out of the sky like flies hit by bug spray. If this vid isnt the usual AFU fake news, and it happened recently, maybe the manufacturer finally made a useful weapon. They should send Russia a check for field testing it for them...
    1
  11214. You don't understand Russians at all. Go read about two years worth of Russian history then come back and post...."
    1
  11215. Do people realize Iran is about to unleash an attack bigger than the one they launched on Israel before? That the ONLY thing that saved Israel last time was the US and UK? Remember, the defense that cost the US over ONE BILLION dollars in expended missiles?? Yet, no one in the streets protesting; no one asking why; just going on complaining about crime or immigrants while our "betters" stoke the tinderbox all around us...."
    1
  11216. by whom?
    1
  11217. By relative size, Israel losing 21 soldiers in a day is like the US losing over 900 soldiers in a day. If Americans woke up one morning to the news they lost 900 (KIA, not wounded) in ONE day, that would be shocking enough for a sitting President to lose re-election.
    1
  11218. Of course he needed to meet with Kim. France, UK and Germany made no secret they were prepared to enter Ukraine to attack Russia. Providing shells is one thing, Russia needed help if it was going to be attacked. Now they have it. Macron wants nothing to do with 800,000 screaming NK troops with a million shells entering the fray
    1
  11219. The Russians are slaughtering Ukrainians in Robotyne to such a degree, bloggers are begging Zelensky to have pity on his men and allow them to live to fight another day. All could see the area was a trap being a valley allowing Russia to funnel any army coming through there. That Nosferatu Blinken of course only doubles down yesterday with his insane words about the offensive is "going well" and another $1B in weapons to keep the meat grinder churning. Blinken is a ghoul on a Pale Horse
    1
  11220. No, its not. In that case the Germans torpedoed and sank the Lusitania, killing 128 Americans. Is anyone dead here? Stop the BS sensationalizing; if you want to fight for Ukraine they'd be happy to take you. Otherwise, STFU. (Oh, and it was later learned the Lusitania WAS indeed carrying arms).
    1
  11221. These Ukraine war hawk can only be hawks because of $300B in welfare and weapons from NATO. Take that away , they'll negotiate within a week. He talks as if its up to him..."

  11222. Alfa's only problem in the US is dealers. People WANT their vehicles; they just are too far away from the dealer. Fix that and watch the money roll in.
    1
  11223. They stole 10x as much while they were there, so they ought to leave at least four more bases just like that one..."
    1
  11224. Just US covering for Israel to put the Western Media spotlight on something other than the genocide case (which isnt going so well for Israel).
    1
  11225. Rutte already publicly said this is not true. The Comedian lies again to get NATO to beat Russia for him
    1
  11226. Biden forced them together in 2021 by rejecting Putin's proposals and arming Ukraine for war, something Obama refused to do in 2015. They are now economic partners, not just arms vendors.
    1
  11227. There goes 90% of the "entertainment value" of this war. He and his "musicians" playing instruments atop a shattered skyscraper, in front of a vista of destruction utterly devoid of all Ukrainian life as far as the eye could see. The world never saw that before.
    1
  11228. Wrong time for this azzhole...
    1
  11229. The AA defense missiles and shells Ukraine is using in Odessa are all long past their expiration date; the West only gives what they themselves will no longer use. In many cases the missiles fall right back into Odessa and the cannon shells fail to explode. When you are a beggar army, you fight like a beggar army.

  11230. BMW, you change that nose and you have my $90K. I passed on the C8 because no manual; you guys give us the manual but you put that ugly schnoz on there. M2CS isn't gonna get it done; I don't care how good it is, I'm not putting six figures into a 2-Series. Upcoming LC-F may have God-level TT V8, but it will be auto only. BMW you have a Unicorn here! LISTEN to your customers; give us what we WANT, not what you think we should have! Look what happened to Toyota with the Supra. They didn't listen and they sold 5800 Supras in 2020; they sold 30,000 a year in the late 80s!!
    1
  11231. Scholz didn't want to do this whole "American Proxy War using Ukraine" thing; he was hesitant two years ago and has been the entire time. Biden forced him into sending Leopard 2's and he had to sit there in silence knowing it was US CIA that helped Ukraine blow up Nordstream 2. Germany has lost $600B in economic output since the start of the SMO; but as Europe's leading NATO member, he had to do what US told him to do. His people should not blame him; they have voted to have a weak military for the past 50 years which is why he could not stand up to Biden when the time came.
    1
  11232. I'm sure the announcement by some NATO-backed group that they are ready to invade Belarus spurred Lukashenko to act. He now knows NATO will come after him should Russia lose (not really a surprise but he no longer has to speculate). He can mobilize and have a core of battle-hardened Wagner vets to train a new brigade; few in the West are aware Wagner PMC had just finished training a new brigade that was fully under the command of the Army. They were expanding into doing more training along with direct combat ops and this may fold in nicely in Belarus.

  11233. So when is FCA suing Hyundai for copying the Stelvio?

  11235. What was the "scheme" this time? A machine that makes anti-oxidant water thatt cures disease?

  11236. You cannot find more than 11 citizens of the West that knew where Mongolia was three days ago (and those 11 were all geography professors). They care about Western feelings just as much as Westerners care about theirs!! 😂
    1
  11237. I thought a year ago the only end is a DMZ like Korea. NATO missiles moved from Poland into Ukraine means the end of Russia. Meaning the End of The World.
    1
  11238. Was the officer Muslim??
    1
  11239. If only Biden, Austin, Milley, Blinken and Nuland had done all such analysis two years ago BEFORE embarking upon a path to war in Ukraine?? We have many "leaders", but few of them display any wisdom.
    1
  11240. A LOT of GOP mouths just suddenly stopped flapping today...
    1
  11241. Last week Russia used an S-300 on a cafe full of Ukraine generals and NATO officers----in a city center. If next time they do it with a cluster bomb, are they "war criminals" too or only the United States and Ukraine?
    1
  11242. Its not racism, they just want the good white males, not the "useless" ones...and there are a LOT of the latter in this generation. 🙂

  11246. There are so many AFU brigades that have now "lost their combat capability" we can no longer keep up. When AFU says "we sent a battalion to hold the line", they are talking about 200 guys tops...
    1
  11247. I don't understand how anyone can vote Harris when that means more Blinken foreign policy which means war with Russia and eventually war with China. No more proxy----- OUR troops fighting. Who wants that??? Vote Trump.
    1
  11248. Where are all the cheering nato bots from two weeks ago??? Novohrodivka fallen in just four days ; Napolensky losing territory so fast his F-16s may take off in Ukraine, but land in Russia when they return to base......" 🤣

  11251. ...who cares anyway? NK is a dirt-poor country and its troops will run away to find something to eat. That's what CNN and SKY told me so it must be true

  11255. Not one tear shed by me. Just happy they killed only themselves and no innocent lives were lost.
    1
  11256. Once you start looking at history by century/millennia timelines, I don't see how 7 million can stand surrounded on all sides by 130 million enemies. North Dakota only has 700 thousand people; all of Israel could move there and you almost wouldn't even notice. From 1948 onward I'm sure the Israeli leadership had a "Plan B" in case everything went south on them where they are. May need to look at that again....
    1
  11257. Poland today announced that they are repatriating (forcibly or willingly...doesn't matter) Ukrainian men of fighting-age so these refugees can join the total mobilization in Ukraine. Zelensky has requested all NATO countries send their fighting age men back so not sure which will comply, but Poland is first to publicly announce it. Probably has something to do with young Ukrainian teenage boys causing mayhem and beating up Polish citizens if they don't say "Slava Ukraini" when the little thugs demand it.
    1
  11258. They had no defense lines, afu trying to form one between Kharkiv and the front. Those at the front their only job is to buy time with their life

  11264. General Zaluzhny has been fired and replaced with Budanov. You'd think that such news would be big enough to find it on Western news media sites but you'd be wrong...

  11265. I knew something had changed around two weeks ago, because the Iskander is now falling like rain. They using them on a single tank or sometimes triple and quadruple tapping the same HIMARS..."
    1
  11266. Every adaption RU makes in this war, the West at first ridicules it. Then, a few weeks or months later, the West adopts it for their own military.
    1
  11267. ...and had NATO just kept out of it, maybe less than 5000 on all sides would he have died. US/UK interfere with Zelensky and his nationalists and over 1 million on all sides now dead or injured.
    1
  11268. Putin always pays his debts....always on time too.
    1
  11269. Putin just told the African Summit dignitaries that Russia will replace all the grain from Ukraine they were getting-----for free. Like him or not, no one on the Earth plays the "game" as well as Putin. He has out maneuvered Western leaders for almost 20 years now and his army has fought NATO's best weapons to a stalemate. His power and influence outside the West is the highest it has ever been.

  11270. "...former porn star..." , "trapped in a cycle of sex trafficking" , after being "groomed". If she did porn she was 18 or older soooo..... the problem here is what, really? Oh, Diddy has tons of money (for the time being) to grab. If a man makes $200K or more and is single; it has never in US history been more advisable for you to just go to rub'n'tug places / strip clubs. Matt Gaetz has it right----pay them up front is far cheaper than paying them 10 years later...

  11271. Hey, if it still works, use it! 🙂

  11272. The Great Battle seems to have started. So the lies will be flying fast and free. Let's get it on; end this one way or the other before the nukes start flying.

  11273. Yeah, took her keys to prevent her killing herself or someone else on the way home. My thought too...
    1
  11274. You know you are losing when you find yourself contradicting your own words. Biden said a year ago use of cluster bombs is a "war crime". Last week he gives Ukraine cluster bombs "because they need them." HIS words. You decide...
    1
  11275. For over a year, any number of YT channels with ex USAF pilots: "..if F-16 goes near the front it get dropped like a Su-24 will....." Yet again, CNN/BBC/SKY all get in the propaganda conga line to tell us otherwise..."
    1
  11276. LOL. YT still deleting comments that highlight Ukraine's losses too much. 🙂 I mention something about those FPV drone hits near Pokrovsk and YT deleted it. Once Trump get in office , this media censorship garbage for Ukraine will end.
    1
  11277. Just more Prigozhin psy ops.... If he says red, you better think blue.
    1
  11278. They'll sit on the ground and be Kinzhal'ed, or fly to the front and be dropped like Ukraine's Mig-29s were.
    1
  11279. So next year after the Abrams and F-16 make no difference, what will Biden give them?
    1
  11280. Pretty sure by "press" he primarily means CNN and MSNBC
    1
  11281. Via EU, Iran has made it clear to Biden any attack on its territory, they will attack any US asset in the ME. This is not bombing Yemen or Iraq, this is the US and Iran going to war
    1
  11282. "Corruption" is the public narrative behind his replacement, but the truth is he was a scapegoat. Zelensky wanted to fire him for corruption months ago, but figured keep him on, that way if the "Grand Spring Offensive(tm)" fails, they can just blame him and sack him. Nice and easy. I mean really, what idiot with the word "defense" in his job title would send a 60K man army into a direct frontal assault on fortified enemy positions manned by an equal number of troops, who have ten gun barrels for every one you have and five times the shells, plus they have attack helicopters while you have none, and they have 800 jets while you have 87. That sounds like something only Biden would do.
    1
  11283. Still a "Superpower", but everyone knows they can no longer just bomb anyone they want. In the age of instant 4K video, US must be very judicious in its application of power. Not to mention all the preaching the US does about "rules based order"; they have to justify their actions to a much greater degree. Finally, people can fight back. 30 years ago, only Russia could really threaten the US military; now almost anyone can.
    1
  11284. Yeah but what about us Americans that have no interest in "degrading Russia's military"??? Russia never attacked us; why would I want to put their sons into the ground?
    1
  11285.  @corvanna4438  You have a point there; UKR is rounding up 13 y.o. boys to send to Bakhumt so yeah any males over "toddler" age are legitimate targets.
    1
  11286. Its DECEMBER.
    1
  11287. Should not have listened to Boris. I mean really, when you have a PEACE DEAL with a Superpower five times your size, IN YOUR HAND, and other than you being neutral and losing areas where 80% of the people WERE NOT YOUR PEOPLE ANYWAY. YOU TAKE IT!!!
    1
  11288. You know full well that those who make the "rules based order" are also the ones who decide who or what meets the standards or not. Russia uses cluster weapons = Bad. Ukraine uses cluster weapons = Good.
    1
  11289. Anyone else notice how there is not a single shred of overt or implied denigration of the fairness or accuracy of the Moldovan electoral process by any Western media? CNN/BBC "trust" Moldovan election officials 100% because this is the result they wished to see, even though 99% of Westerners don't even know where to look for Moldova on a map. Even if you agree with Western Bias; do not dare to argue that it doesn't exist. 😂
    1
  11290. Meanwhile, today Ukraine is evacuating all children from towns in Zaprorizhzhia. Last week Lavrov gave Biden/Zelensky Russia's ultimatum: "...Kyiv regime capitulates on Russia's terms....or cease to exist..." ; the 450-seat Russian State Duma voted two days ago to ratify this stance. Let the history books reflect that Ukraine had one final chance to avoid what is coming.
    1
  11291. LOL, Mi6 was in on it along with CIA and Budanov. Zelensky has 5 days left in his term, then he is no longer a "head of State". There is an Iskander with his name on it just waiting and he knows it. This is the beginning of the "rubout phase" for the key players on both sides. Orban better quadruple his guard detail
    1
  11292. How the hell can we put "advisers" into Ukraine and them be out of harm's way?? Putin will double-tap ANY and EVERY place they are bunked with Iskander-Ms....he'd make a point of it. Also, what possible "training" could they provide in an active war zone that would be worth the risk of their destruction? From what I understand, the US has trained a few hundred Ukrainian tank crews and support personnel; about three months training. When US Army soldiers would get EIGHT months of training. Also, Ukraine does not operate any tank with a turbine engine, and to qualify to be an engine mechanic for the Abrams a US army recruit has to score in the 99th percentile on the ASVAB. THREE months of training; finding people smart enough to maintain them when Ukraine has taken 500,000 casualties and most men not yet drafted have fled the country. The Abrams' time on Ukraine's battlefield will be short and brutal.
    1
  11293. BS. If they were going to do it, they already would have. NATO is years from being ready for a ground war in Russia.
    1
  11294. Surprised you found any alive. 71,000 AFU casualties since June 5th. Make sure to tell them you love them as you will never see most of them alive again.

  11298. Wow, Harris did not get more votes than Biden did in 2020, in any State in the Union

  11299. Iran is Shia, ISIS (and Iraq) are Sunni.... A bit fast and loose with the truth to call them "Iranian targets..." eh, BBC?? Though, when has that ever stopped you...
    1
  11300. Biden said he wouldn't help Israel this time, so does that mean when Iran fires back we won't shoot everything down for Israel?
    1
  11301. Fish in a barrel...
    1
  11302. There isn't going to be any "how do you try to get the Ukrainians and Russians to the negotiating table?" Why would Russia "negotiate" over that which it can take whole by force? NATO better prepare not for "talks", but for two giant Russian pincers trapping what's left of the AFU inside the Luhansk pocket by next Valentine's Day.
    1
  11303.  @blackwatertv7018  BBC says UK did. I believe them over you. 🙂
    1
  11304. oh there was provocation for sure.
    1
  11305. BS. If Zelensky had chosen neutrality and rejected NATO (and the US missiles that come with it), no war and flowers all day long in Kyiv. Ukraine been part of Russia since before the Mongols----typical American knows nothing about anything.
    1
  11306. Why?
    1
  11307. It really scares me the degree to which one media channel has such power over the thinking of so many Americans. Almost 1700 comments, 99% of whom appear to have just realized this fact (and a few still don't believe it). While this information has been on countless non-Western media outlets, in interviews or channels with respected experts (John Mearsheimer is one and is highly respected), for *months*. Yet, those who only get their news from one source, CNN, now shocked to learn this. That is truly scary----most Americans really are "sheep" for one side or the other.
    1
  11308. There are times I really wonder what horrors it will take before Biden (and let's be honest, the only man who controls what Ukraine does is Joe Biden), says "no mas" and admits defeat.
    1
  11309. House GOP not "weak willed"; Isolationism is their will. No more weapons = no more war.
    1
  11310. Motive?
    1
  11311. Only rational explanation is Ukraine is stalling Russians by exchanging lives for time. Time to get Leopards/Bradleys/AMX-10 etc. into place wherever they plan to make a stand or gather for an offensive.
    1
  11312. From the side it looks like what all the 80s sci-fi Anime depicted that we'd be driving in 2009 or some crazy sounding year like that.
    1
  11313. I could have told them that and I just play Call of Duty all day.
    1
  11314. With what? No more sneaky British sea drones launched from Odessa because Odessa is now on fire and closed forever.
    1
  11315. Good question; one I've asked myself. Why the overreaction so strong to a few thousand troops in a war where over a million in total are currently engaged??
    1
  11316. "Terrorist" = Anyone who doesn't agree with the United States.
    1
  11317. Go tell that lady that. Bring extra teeth...
    1
  11318. Funny I saw this coming a few weeks ago right after Biden OK'ed the anti-personnel mines. You gotta remember the US is not just one view; there is Biden Way and there is Trump Way; Biden hates Trump and will do things not only to help Ukraine, but also to hurt Trump. By pushing Russia to respond more aggressively, Biden hopes to make it harder for Trump to get a deal with Russia. Putin has to walk the tightrope between a response that is too harsh, and too weak.
    1
  11319. Who the hell says its "British"?? No one "owns" the ocean; or what's under it. Whoever puts infrastructure there and drills into it has the "rights" to it.

  11321. Agreed. It may have began a proxy war, but it is NATO vs. Russia for past 9 months at least

  11322. 12 hours ago all Western media headlines were "Russia blows up dam!" and "War Crimes". Notice how the titles of articles on CNN/BBC/SKY have changed??? Ukraine blew up the dam...

  11325. I think this is it. All the $375B dollars of Western weaponry that has all failed miserably so far, this is the "wunderwaffe" to win the war!!"
    1
  11326. Horse-isht propaganda. When Zelensky bombed the Russian family coming home from the beach, Biden Administration didn't call it "horrifying".
    1
  11327. Fearsome weapon that is.....*HOPE*....."
    1
  11328. That "analyst" is a moron. RU has the Kursk pocket surrounded----its been over a week, how long you think it takes for troops to drive 100 km?? AFU has been trying for 4 days to expand by attacking but they getting slapped back almost everywhere; all they got was a kilometer more at Sudzha. RU not attacking yet because they don't have overwhelming force yet, just enough to stop AFU advance. When they do, they will..."
    1
  11329. This is very possible; Prigozhin today also exhorting the wealthier average Russians to enlist and support TOTAL WAR. Your country's very existence is at stake. An attack like this helps get that message across.
    1
  11330. ...so we are "war criminals" together?
    1
  11331. Iran is going to fight, of that there is no doubt.
    1
  11332. I'm more surprised the Tornado is still in use; one of my childhood favorites from the 80s at the peak of the Cold War.
    1
  11333. I don't love or hate Ukraine, but I want NATO to lose in their attempt to build a FOB against Russia on Ukraine's land. That said, I agree with your point. NATO trained 60,000 AFU and equipped them with the best, and that didn't prove decisive in the least. What can 3000 troops do? No matter how well trained and equipped?
    1
  11334. Polish PM just admitted "many NATO troops in Ukraine". Is this the beginning of the real war? No more pretending this is Ukraine's war?
    1
  11335. Not much of "Democracy" if there's a new Civil War every time one side loses...
    1
  11336. Ukraine has lost almost half a million soldiers since the beginning of the special military operation in 2022, Russian Defence Ministry Sergei Shoigu said on Tuesday. Not wounded.... KIA
    1
  11337. Most DEMs didn't hear her speech last weekend in GA. Of the two of them, Mike Johnson is the calm, measured and reasonable one... You get someone like MTG in that seat, it'll be Dem-pocalypse upon the Earth
    1
  11338. Those DPR assault troops that took Avdeevka appear well fed, well trained and equipped, well led, and highly motivated. No amount of CNN propaganda can hide that when you watch all the vids and watch them move, hear them speak and observe their demeanor. The "poorly fed, poorly led conscripts with only shovels" seem to have been significantly upgraded (or they were a creation of CNN/BBC propaganda). Regardless, they know they are winning...
    1
  11339. Lol....this post didn't age well....
    1
  11340. The Chechens have earned their glory in Kursk; though Spetznaz and Pacific Fleet Marines have earned their medals there too; the largest contingent in smashing AFU in Kursk has been the Chechens
    1
  11341. Russia can handle Ukraine that will never change, it's NATO that worries me. The US and UK are stepping out from behind the curtain and even on CNN people are asking why bother send the ATACMS to Ukraine just fire them at the Kerch bridge ourselves.
    1
  11342. TRUE. If Haiti had something valuable it would look like Ibiza by now.
    1
  11343. From Joe Biden with love...

  11344. You mean 99.99% of CNN watchers?

  11345. This person is clearly mentally insane. What kind of 16th century public services do they have in Ohio???
    1
  11346. I just saw a report that Russia seized $100M in assets from Google, Inc. in 2022., forcing their Russia subsidiary into bankruptcy. Now I understand why YT deletes 99% of pro-Russia commentary. LOL....."
    1
  11347. I'll be surprised if NATO and Russia are not in an open shooting war by this time next year; the first Russian missile will hit either Poland or the UK. If by then we aren't already in it too, its a guarantee a Biden win in '24 will put us in it.
    1
  11348. US Military should be reminded Biden can't send them to war without Congressional Authorization....
    1
  11349. Alfa Tonale PHEV. Nobody in America knows about Alfas; everybody knows about all the boring Kias, Fords, and Hyundais you review all the time. Life is short----live a little! 🙂

  11350. Do your friends call your Maserati Grecale "Grecail"?? If so, you should get friends that finished high school. 🙂
    1
  11351. MAGA's gonna MAGA...
    1
  11352. So that means Poland must have lost 50,000 KIA, UK about 6000 KIA, and US about 4000 KIA. That adds up....
    1
  11353. RU training them on drones. They can stay back 20 km from the front swarming ahead of regular Army units to clear the way for the steamroller advance...
    1
  11354. Well its clear to all the "party time" for AFU running wild last week is over; they in a street fight now. There are now enough RU troops to fix them in place, and the Lancet is starting to make its mark as it has for 2+ years. No more easy stuff for Napolensky...."
    1
  11355. I voted for him and I hope he concedes graciously if he loses by a clear margin. Win or lose we don't need to waste our energy making Giuliani-style "political hyperbole" as he called it, like last time. Every election I've lived through, the losers whined and stamped their feet for a few days. That's fine. However we can't have a repeat of 2020. That serves no useful purpose, other than to let hotheads vent for weeks and months, when they normally would have spent their disappointed energy in a few days.
    1
  11356. Only $53K? Wow, prices have come down. A month ago it was $62K for one near me. By summer they'll be around MSRP.
    1
  11357. ...funny that's the same way the Russians feel about losing. Better to fight and die on your feet, than live and allow yourselves to become slave Russia to the United States.
    1
  11358. By the time Biden and Zelensky are done, there will only be 14 year old boys and 80 year old men for the women of Ukraine to marry and have a family with.
    1
  11359. The 5.0 V8 in these is the AJ-Series and they are very reliable engines---installed in literally hundreds of thousands of Jaguars and Land Rovers over the past 15 years. The timing chain tensioner is a well-known issue with 2010-era ones, as well as water pumps that fail around 70K miles. 2012 and later ones have the new tensioners and a water pump replacement is $400 at an independent shop. Use good synthetic and change the oil regularly and these engines will give you 500+ HP for 150K miles easy.
    1
  11360. Some of us made this bet 12 hours ago though...
    1
  11361. Ukraine is demanding many more Western armored vehicles to replace massive losses. US media says they've lost 15% of Bradleys already; if US media says 15%, the truth is closer to 30%... Russia just sitting behind prepared defenses whittling Ukraine's army away piece by piece.
    1
  11362. Yep, and NATO studying Russian weapons, Russia studying NATO weapons. Actually, Russia probably is gathering the most valuable intelligence on weapons on Earth right now. They are fighting the weapons of 40 different countries; US, German, French, Swedish, Polish, Italian and dozens of others. Imagine the treasure trove of information they will amass by the end of this war. They'll be able to write the "Bible" of how to counter Western military tech for the next decade or more.
    1
  11363. The point is to invite Ukraine to attack, and thereby destroy more NATO equipment and troops.
    1
  11364. Iskander wiped out the depot with all the shells for both Abrams and Challenger, a few months ago ..
    1
  11365. Can you imagine how thick the tension in the room will be when these two have to sit across the table from each other during the negotiations a few months from now?? It'll be like when Imperial Japan had to sign the surrender documents on the deck of the USS Missouri with Halsey and MacArthur standing right there watching them.
    1
  11366. Russia destroyed several aircraft at the Kyiv airport yesterday. What is not yet confirmed is if the Patriot battery protecting the airport was also destroyed. There are also reports there were several Storm Shadow missiles stored at that airport too that were obliterated. We now know the Ukrainian Intelligence HQ in Kyiv was destroyed by a Kinzhal last night; we don't know if the chief and other NATO high ranking officers were killed or buried in the rubble. All told, this has been a good day for Russia. If those Storm Shadows were destroyed and Major General Kyrylo Budanov killed in the Kinzhal strike, it will have been a GREAT day indeed!
    1
  11367. Biden is a good man, but he is long past his ability to physically and mentally do the job and by this time next year Ukraine will be a smoldering charnel house while Putin will be celebrating his 2nd Anniversary Summit with Xi. Kamala is as weak and stale as week-old bread, while the GOP is a rogue's gallery of psychotics. A decent man----a young one----is just what the country needs.
    1
  11368. Russia doesn't carpet bomb cities full of civilians----only Israel does that.
    1
  11369. Like the "expert" CNN had a couple weeks ago to explain to us in great detail how "a plane like that would never carry POWs..." Oops....😅😅😅
    1
  11370. nahh, Iran doesn't have nukes yet. Without nukes there can be no "End Times"
    1
  11371. 500K total casualties on both sides is believable. Whether its 200K/300K or 250K/250K doesn't really matter. The reality is both sides have been hurting each other about the same, Russia dominates on the sea and in the air, but ships sunk/planes shot down is a tiny amount of casualties. The vast majority is on land where both sides are about equal. Problem is, that favors Russia since they have much larger population.
    1
  11372. Yes, head this a few weeks back. Ukraine can only do what Biden and his Administration allow them to do.
    1
  11373. Before I bought my newest car two years ago, I researched what the least stolen cars were. Audi. So I bought an Audi.
    1
  11374. 81 missiles and only six civilians killed? Israel kills twice that number everytime they bomb a terrorists house.
    1
  11375. Ukraine aid is just stupid; in no Universe could they beat Russia. However, how can anyone sleep at night knowing they helped IDF do what they are doing???
    1
  11376. US has a hypersonic weapon??
    1
  11377. That the Biden Administration is willing to go to almost any length to help Ukraine win?
    1
  11378. Same with the cluster weapons. Biden gives the "green light" by handing over 155mm shells with tiny 1kg submunitions, Russia says "OK" and brings out RBK 1000 lb bombs with ten times as many 4kg submunitions. "Short sighted" is now a euphemism for "NATO".
    1
  11379. See how world wars always start over human ego? Your leaders are trying to be measured and not start a war they cannot win, you howling about how your "team" didn't "own the Israelis". Thank God nations don't let stupid people lead; we'd have a war every other week.
    1
  11380. NATO had the "no Western equipment in Russia" rule for 2+ years and obviously changed that policy to give Ukraine an advantage. Very sneaky and nasty.... RU should take off all their restrictions as well....."
    1
  11381. Ukraine fights dumb because they don't retreat when they should, they lose more men and then the town anyway. The do this because they feel any land they lose they'll never get back. They're right...
    1
  11382. A year ago, 90% on here swallowed the "narrative" whole (as did I); because we only read the Western news about the war and went on about our business. Now, after all we've seen and heard....nope. 90% now fully aware that lying by omission, is no different than lying by deception.
    1
  11383. There is no "better future" in the US; you'll live longer wherever you are from!!
    1
  11384. Yeah, $350-400 Billion and 17 million shells to beat Russia. Can you imagine how many Ukraine soldiers would be lost if they somehow got all that ammo and equipment? Win or lose by the time it was over Zelensky would be President of a nation entirely made up of 80 and 11 yr olds....
    1
  11385. Yeah, other mil bloggers reported it was an ancient S-200 missile left over from Ukraine's old Soviet-era time; NATO does not allow their weapons to be fired into Russia proper so Ukraine can only use whatever old stuff they have or cobbled together homemade drones. Russia shot this old thing down with ease.
    1
  11386. how is the retreat to the Dnipro going?
    1
  11387.  @Rob-147  a little behind schedule but the outcome is the same as we all knew it would be 3 years ago. You?
    1
  11388. How much was Putins bonus for killing the Challenger 2? Same as Leopard 2 or higher?
    1
  11389. Yeah, they planning to come here to US to present a "list of targets in Russia" to Biden/Harris/Trump , that they want us to destroy for them. US cannot attack a country that never attacked them; Biden can't start a war with Russia without Congressional approval and that'll never happen..."
    1
  11390. "reshuffle" - Here it is late afternoon in US CDT, and the word "resigned" appears nowhere in any West Media story. Nor has CNN/BBC/SKY ever mentioned the number of other ministers who quit and the timing of Kuleba's impending resignation to convey the true context of what happened today. Yet, outside the US, in Asia, Africa, the ME, South America, Central America, literally everywhere else ; full reports with documents and interviews and videos and reporters and the full story. WHY? Why does the West Media lie by omission to us in such a transparent way? Why do they constantly sanitize words, leave context out, not report relevant facts, all in an effort to present the "rosy" picture to us about Ukraine for ALMOST THREE YEARS! Why can't they just tell the truth??
    1
  11391. I knew he'd go out like Imperial Japan in 1945....I saw this coming a year ago
    1
  11392. News coming in of massive strike on AFU and NATO troops in Odessa yesterday; 40 to 50 demilitarized. The Russians even published the names of some of the NATO personnel from Germany, US, Georgia, and Romania----they were supporting and operating NATO air defense equipment in Odessa. This is what Zelensky publicly called the "vile" attack today.
    1
  11393. When you sit in one and drive it, the cheapness is obvious. The Nissan Kicks feels like an armored vehicle by comparison, it is some much better built. Id trust the Nissan's engine more than this one, but id trust the Buick's transmission more than the Kicks.... tough call.
    1
  11394. Here we go. Just 3 days after Blinken very publicly says Iran sold missiles to Russia to be used on Ukraine within "weeks" and a big boom deep inside Russia?? Just 2 days after big article in Times about how only the US military can program these long range missiles?? Biden appears to have made his decision.....
    1
  11395. Hmmm, one day after Jens Stoltenberg: "I do not expect NATO to offer Ukraine an invitation" Oh yeah! Gonna try to change the outcome of that Summit for sure!!! Wag that Dog, baby! Wag that Dog!!
    1
  11396. Zelensky didn't renew the gas transit contract with EU on January 1st. On March 6th the Russians used that gas pipeline to break Ukraine in Kursk. One of the greatest stories of military history right before our eyes.
    1
  11397. It is becoming harder to find a Ukrainian who is NOT a Nazi
    1
  11398. It was UK sea drone that blew up the family coming home from the beach. Who again is the "demon"?
    1
  11399. Shoigu was ordered to end the SMO by 2025. There really is nothing that will prevent him from doing so at this point; Russia has more of everything so it is just a matter of when, not if. The great unknown is what form the Endgame will take. Will Zelensky flee into exile in the US/UK and "lead" a long-term resistance like Yasser Arafat and the PLO? Will a pro-Russia government in Kyiv be enough for the Russian army to mostly de-mobilize at some point? Where will the American neocons try next now that their gambit to use Ukraine to put a noose around Russia's neck has failed?
    1
  11400. Zelensky only refuses because Biden keeps giving him hope of another round of funding; like the $8B just announced that will keep Ukraine from collapsing for another year, but won't change the outcome. When Trump wins, he cuts off the weapons and the "deal" will make itself, Zelensky or not. China made an excellent speech yesterday; all should listen to it.
    1
  11401. If any US President ever tried to increase taxes to 70% , there would be a Second Revolutionary War.
    1
  11402. "Response" to what? All they know is NK soldiers may be getting training in Russia. All the Nepalese, Indians, and Kazakhs over the years that RU recruited were---- trained in Russia ----and no one asking for a US "response". What is different? Why so much Western fear?
    1
  11403. Everyone knows it was Merkel, more than any single other person, that set Ukraine on its path to confrontation with Russia. All well documented fact.
    1
  11404. Sure they are "advances" in that they are heading toward Russians instead of away from them. In the military sense of taking contested territory, no.
    1
  11405. This is Western propaganda. Up until last Saturday, Wagner moving forces around inside Russia was as common as regular Army doing so. Wagner has a large training center near Rostov; seeing their units on roads was nothing unusual. Yes, it took a few hours for the Army and Government to react, but this Western narrative that "oh Wagner drove on the highway with no resistance, so the US Army can do the same" is typical propaganda. Go ahead and try it NATO, please.
    1
  11406. Yes, there are no fortifications or prepared defenses inside Russia, so AFU has nowhere to dig in and hide. The very thing that allowed them to move so fast initially, now dooms them to air power...." Oh well, fun while it lasted tho!! 😂😂
    1
  11407. Military bloggers call the Sumy-Kursk Front "HIMARS square" ; that pretty much tells you all you need to know how its going...."
    1
  11408. "bulge" same size it was 10 days ago...
    1
  11409. This is like Pearl Harbor with AFU in the role of Japan. Just as then, the IJN ran wild----for a time----just as AFU is now running wild. However, sneaky duplicity in war wins battles, but almost never wins wars. NATO changed their ROE to give Ukraine a chance where there would otherwise have been none. However, the outcome will be just as in 1941: "I fear that all we have done is awaken a sleeping giant, and filled him with terrible resolve.."
    1
  11410. After all the obvious signs of mental decline due to age, not surprising. Will Biden also do what's right for the country or continue to do what's right for himself?
    1
  11411. Ukraine killed parents on that bridge and put their daughter in a wheelchair for life. That's OK with you though...
    1
  11412. I'm sure once he sobered up in the Afterlife, he wondered "how the ** did I get here?" Then, a fellow spirit showed him this video and he was like "daaaamnnnn! I went out like that??". Yup.
    1
  11413. In the US he would be wearing a $1500 suit, with a $500 per hour liberal lawyer next to him and he would have arrived in a $125,000 Caddy Escalade....
    1
  11414. Earlier today, CNN had an interview with Gen. Petraeus. Everything the General said that would allow the Ukrainians to have any chance to break through the defense lines is exactly what they do NOT have. US Army already on record saying those old shells Biden gave weren't designed for mine clearing anyway, they were designed to destroy troop/vehicle concentrations in the open. Notice he didn't mention Abrams tank, and he surely knows they are coming soon. Why? Because Abrams tanks will burn just like Leopard 2. "Carpet bombing" as Petraeus puts it, requires many tons of explosive which no drone anywhere can carry---only manned bomber can do that and that means Buk-M2, Pantsir-S1, and S-300 blow it out of the sky 100 km before it ever reach target area. Any lucky enough to survive, the Su-27s and 35s swarm them like angry hornets. It CAN'T BE DONE. Armistice. Now.
    1
  11415. US sponsored their own proxy to fight Russia; now it finds itself fighting Iran's proxy. How fitting...
    1
  11416. Smart. Zelensky plans for them guaranteed to kill them, Russia just wants them to mind their own business, not join NATO to threaten Russia, and they can live in peace to be old men. Much better deal than Zelensky's
    1
  11417. Biden sending heavy artillery to Niger when asked to leave. "Defensive". 😂😂😂
    1
  11418. He became a woman to hide? Smart...
    1
  11419. The Anglo-Saxons are losing their minds as they thought this would be easy.
    1
  11420. People will sleep a little easier knowing NATO wont be so willing to come attack them.
    1
  11421. omg "READ"!
    1
  11422. Russia is going to respond to the US/UK and the response is going to land on Ukraine . A lot of people are going to be impacted because Russia is going to escalate to match the US escalation, 100% due to Biden choosing to change his mind the other day. These people that this "escalation" will remove from the Universe, would not have been unalived if Biden had not done what he did. The war has been churning on the past several months, it is what it is; neither side really changed the dynamics in over a year. Now Biden alone decides to change it....
    1
  11423. Ukraine has proven beyond a shred of a doubt that if the USSR had rushed Western Europe in 1985, they'd only have stopped once they reached Calais. ALL the vaunted Western "superweapons" of the 80s have turned out to be overweight, overcomplicated, underperforming duds in the past two years of brutal combat. NATO would have ruled the air in 1985, but on land, the Soviets would have been supreme.
    1
  11424. So you signed your kids up for the US Army I take it? You know since you're angry about things that happen in foreign lands
    1
  11425. So Hamas was not the easily streamrolled pushover everyone thought? IDF has a fight on its hands...
    1
  11426. no...but all the rest of the Dems supported Biden and will support Harris and together you all CAN declare war on Russia, right?
    1
  11427. The Bear always gets his salmon...
    1
  11428. Half of Americans never thought this was a war to fight. It is mostly Democrat Party war with Russia
    1
  11429. Of course there are people in Russia who may want the country to change to be more like Belgium with ultra-liberal lifestyle like EU. However for now they are a tiny minority; but just because they may desire a more secular nation doesn't mean they want to be slaves to the United States. Starting a war with Russia to force them to bend to the will of the EU just makes enemies out of the few Russians who would have been amenable to such political progress (if you consider secularism "progress").
    1
  11430. That is awesome! Russia plays the propaganda game better than anyone. It is how Trump won the US election in 2016. We in the US are well aware that our $100B has been wasted by Biden for no reason other than his ego. We are going to correct that mistake next year.
    1
  11431. Its YOUR war! These people are crazy to think the sons and daughters of America are to be sacrificed for them? They aren't Americans, and they aren't even in NATO! Madness...
    1
  11432. "Iran-backed" is the new "WMDs"
    1
  11433. Is there anyone left on the planet that does not realize that the West values some lives more than others'? It actually wouldn't be that aggravating but for the fact the West has spent the last 80 years preaching to everyone that it walks the "high road" while all others traverse the gutter. Just a few weeks ago Joe Biden lectured the world and said "the United States is the example..". As if they are plugged into the Matrix; the leaders and elites of the West really believe they are not also down in the gutter as well....
    1
  11434. I don't believe the Brits ever sent even a single Challenger tank. That was in January and here it is almost August and no one has ever seen one in Ukraine even fire one shot at the Russians. Today Ukraine cashes in all her poker chips and even now, no Challengers to be seen. History will record it as the "Coward Tank" of the Ukraine war.
    1
  11435. Nice tank, but better put a cope cage on it before you send it to war. Things have changed...
    1
  11436. Typical Trump: Everyone is out to get me; its everyone else's fault not mine. He's the biggest "dindu nuffin" in the United States. 😂😂
    1
  11437. I've been more "anti-NATO encroachment" , than "pro-Russia" these past two years, but that is over. Slava Rossiya.
    1
  11438. Blames everyone but himself.
    1
  11439. My thoughts exactly! A soon as they come up with something truly unique, Lockheed-Martin or Northrop-Grumman will make even the janitor at Anduril a millionaire and that's the end of that. 🙂
    1
  11440. Vladimir Putin has made a free weapons offer to Burkina Faso amid escalating tensions in neighboring Niger. Just following Biden's example...
    1
  11441. The face of the war is no longer Ukraine; that facade is falling away day by day to reveal what was there behind it all along: NATO.
    1
  11442. Has LeBron made a statement yet?
    1
  11443. He's crude, but he is 100 percent correct and those of us screaming at our screens the past four years FINALLY have a voice they can't delete/silence/hide. The DEMs want to use the US Military to force their values down the throats of the world and under their leadership, we've become the very tyrants we decry. Yesterday, the UN voted 187-2 for us to end the economic blockade of Cuba. The "2" were us and Israel; who are the "rogue nations" now??
    1
  11444. What about when America is the terrorist? What do we do then?
    1
  11445. Maybe 99%. Online it seems 80% of the US wants to go to war with Russia to save Ukraine. In the real world, I haven't heard a single American mention Ukraine even once in almost three years...
    1
  11446. Everyone knows where Ukraine wants to attack---Crimea. They cannot flank it with the Black Sea on one side and Belarus/Russia proper on the other; they can only go forward. Right into the teeth of prepared defenses: 300K trained reservists, T-90M, T--80BV (and now T-14 Armata!) tanks, vastly more artillery and rockets, mines, Russian air superiority, attack helicopters, drones, etc. About to be a 21st Century "Charge of the Light Brigade" to their doom.
    1
  11447. It really cracks me up that we have all been conditioned for 80 years to believe that "WW3" will be with nukes flying around. This multi-decade programming has been so successful that even as we stare at World War Three going on right before our eyes, because it doesn't look like what we expected, we can't see it for what it is.
    1
  11448. May Mother Russia destroy her enemies...
    1

  11451. This is why Obama refused to arm Ukraine in 2015. An unwinnable war that consumes everything and everyone was the only possible result he believed.

  11452. I only watched the driving part because its an Alfa Romeo; the driving part is the only part that matters. Alfa Romeo's are basically what Ferrari would make if they decided to become a mainstream brand and sell to the masses.

  11453. LOL!! In what way could this possibly be open to debate?? That's like asking the US Navy in the Pacific around 1945 if they are "winning"

  11454. NATO never got its People on board with its desire to try to use Ukraine to subjugate Russia. This was never a desire of their citizens, only a few Elites who wanted to hurt Putin and get their hands on Ukraine's wealth.

  11455. The French Army was badass in WW1....every bit the equal of the Germans. Since then.....

  11456. We are seeing the apotheosis of the Russo-Ukraine War: RU steamrolling in the south all year, Americans and EU suddenly giving the green light to AFU to send their equipment into Russia in the north, Belarus moving armor to the border with Ukraine, NK armored vehicles and rocket artillery now seen and in use. Iran suddenly receiving S-400 and Iskander from RU to prevent the Americans and Israeli's having the easy mark they are used to. In return VOA reported Iran is sending "hundreds" of Fatah ballistic missiles to Russia and is right now training RU soldiers how to use the system. Niger and Mali last week severed diplomatic ties with Ukraine due to the attack on Wagner in Mali; effectively putting them both very close to a state of war with Ukraine. We are living in incredibly dramatic times!!"

  11457. Yes, because the dog's masters yanked his leash for blabbering his mouth like fool

  11458. Does it even matter at this point?

  11459. All of the World has learned one thing from this war. "Western superiority" in war machines and/or doctrine is no longer true. It may have been true 30 years ago, but the gap has been closed; mostly due to Globalization and widespread availability of microprocessors that used to be custom-made by internal suppliers. Ukraine was telling Biden two months ago "your doctrine won't work here; this isn't Desert Storm where the Iraqis were dug in with no air force and you had full control of the sky. The Russians control the sky over their lines." US told them to "go anyway, Russians are poorly trained and will run away when they see a Leopard". 30,000 Ukrainian corpses now realize that wasn't true...

  11460. Don't give him anything more, Joe. JASSM-ER only goes 100 miles further than the ATACMS they already have, and that is $3.5M a pop! The only really long range cruise missile we have is Tomahawk but you need a ship or sub to fire it. Just say NO!"
    1
  11461. Its a defensive only package. No tanks, no bridging or mine combat vehicles, no SPGs; just lots of 155, mortars, anti air/anti tank missiles, and a ton of IFVs. Designed only to keep AFU from collapsing right before Joe Biden re-election

  11462. Nothing new, right. RU destroyed many FFL a few months ago, didn't they?

  11463.  @romanomendez8617  Bullshit. The US was the "aggressor"; everything was fine in Ukraine until they started slow-dancing with NATO.
    1
  11464. US could do it for Ukraine, but that means US Congress has to declare war on Russia and authorize $4T dollars and probably 200,000 casualties to do it. Who will tell Joe?
    1
  11465. The 17% is a Western Media propaganda lie. Russia occupies all of Crimea, and 80% of the annexed areas; which means of the land it really cares about, Russia occupies 90% of it. For the WSJ and others to continue to frame it that way, when they are fully aware Russia NEVER AT ANY TIME planned to occupy all of Ukraine, is willful propaganda as no one is that stupid.
    1
  11466. I believe that up to about 1988, NATO did far more "good" than "bad". However, once the Wall fell in 1989, the feared USSR was no more. With no opposing force to give them pause, NATO's power became absolute and we all know that absolute power corrupts absolutely

  11471. When you said "main objective of Russian forces is to capture Donbas region" I screamed "Right!" at the monitor. On CNN/BBC/SKY/WAPO everyone in America and Britain thinks Russia wants to take ALL of Ukraine. That's why they think Russia is "losing"! I try to correct them but I get shouted down 100 to 1. Millions of people in US are going to be shocked when Russia wins this war.
    1
  11472. You have to be kidding me. The DEMs and their "End of The World" hysterics over Trump is the peak of irony, when it is Harris who will continue the disastrous wars that can only lead to the true End of The World.

  11474. Every Ukrainian knows the truth; they don't have CNN/BBC lying to them every day. Make peace and live your life in a smaller Ukraine or throw your life away and the result is a smaller Ukraine anyway. Tough choice, eh?
    1
  11475. The more I see just how much NATO stacked Ukraine up over the last 6 months, the more it's confirmed what I long suspected: the only other single nation on earth that could do what Russia has done is the United States of America. Russia faces patriot, nasams, iris-t, hawk,s-125,s-200,s-300, crotale, starstreak, stinger, and all that cannot deny them the sky completely. Alone, there is no NATO country that could accomplish that feat but the US. Russia second only to America on this planet...."
    1
  11476. "Get the hell out of Ukraine" OK, let's say Russia does that. Then, US and UK move right in and pick up where they left off in 2019. NATO naval ships in Black Sea and Sea of Azov, Aegis Ashore missiles in Mariupol, etc. the whole NATO plan. At that point there is no "Russia" right? They become a slave State with the US/UK having a blade at their throat. What country would willingly choose that???

  11478. Those that lust for war are always outnumbered 100 to 1 by those who just want to live. Yet those few are always able to somehow worm their way to the levers of power and set the rest of us on a course to our destruction. I have long wondered if power corrupts them, or they were corrupted from birth....

  11479. Agree. Put those illegal immigrants on a bus and send them home. Ignore all the screaming and crying; they broke the law and need to leave. No time for squeamishness; do what must be done. Trump will.

  11480. Not really what we all expected from the third world war; so let's choose another name for this and save that for the real thing like we expected since the 80s with all the MIRVs flying and End of Civilzation, etc. Let's call this war we are living through the "Global Civil War"....

  11482. "....bombed out alleged Ukrainian vehicles...." CLEARLY Humvees, Strykers, Marders!! I swear this Western Media/Biden Admin.

  11483. Yes, with Americas free JDAMs, free satellite intelligence, free AWACS overwatch, free missile shield, free 155mm shells.... Israel is the chihuahua standing beneath the balls of the US pit bull.....
    1
  11484. US long ago transferred 155mm shells from SK stocks to send to Ukraine; back in 2023 SK agreed to "lend" the US 500,000 155mm shells to send to Ukraine. Crazy how the Biden Admin. seems to get its allies to say and do utterly stupid things all to favor the Comdeian... North Korea just doing what South Korea did two years ago.

  11485. Putin tried to talk , Biden Ignored him
    1
  11486. US says "oh we have many dual-citizens in Israel, that means we are under attack now we can respond to Iran". Watching the US over the past 3 years convinced me the Biden Administration will say and do whatever it takes to justify whatever action it wishes to take. "Rules based order" my ass....

  11492. Everyone is telling the Biden Admin. to ** off. Spain said "you on your own" when it came to F-16s. Russia knocked down a spy drone sent to help gather intelligence that would be given to Ukraine. The Taliban is using our Humvees and M240s to annoy Iran. Now, China just dissed Austin saying the US is "insincere". Basically a polite way of saying "you're full of $*#@". Yet here we are sending our planes where they have no business being and then feigning shock when others tell us to get lost. 2024 election cannot come fast enough.

  11493. Protecting Israel.
    1
  11494. It will be years before we know what really happened today (if we ever do). One thing is certain however; there are forces inside Ukraine that were prepared to attack Belarus the moment Russia fell (if such were to happen). Was this all planned to make NATO show its hand? Pure luck? Matters little now; Lukashenko is now aware that NATO is planning to come after him should his Big Protector ever fall. No choice for Belarus; they must mobilize as war is upon them.
    1
  11495. A lot of you are trying to pretend you knew this would happen all along. Don't even try it. Every BBC article on Ukraine a year ago, 90% of comments were "Russians are drunk conscripts" and "Putin is going to lose!". Now 80% of ya'll acting like you aren't losers every bit as much as Zelensky.

  11496. I get it now. The Looney Left wants to pull a Thanos in order to "save" Gaia.

  11497. After seeing the tepid reception at the UN for Zelensky, the open disagreements with Poland and the clearly "defensive only" nature of Biden's recent aid package, papers all over the world openly wondering if war between NATO and Russia is just a matter of time. Why bother send Ukraine the weapons if you are going to fight Russia directly anyway? All these Crimea strikes are US Global Hawk for intel, and UK Storm Shadow for attack; just as NATO would do it themselves anyway. Putin saw this coming all along and that is precisely why he has taken the slow steady course with Ukraine. This has always been about NATO and Putin knows he is likely to have to fight NATO directly sooner or later. That's why the defensive-only posture all year, the 280,000 new recruits, the 145,000 draft just approved a couple weeks ago, the alliance with NK to ensure an uninterrupted supply of millions of shells and rockets, the restarting of the T-80BVM production line shut since 1997 (the only Russian tank with a turbine engine), the rapid evolution of the Lancet and FPV drones now being mass produced by the thousands, etc. Just add it all up and for Ukraine its overkill; because it isn't just for Ukraine. It is for NATO.

  11498. Russia, please burn Ukraine to the ground utterly. Thank you very much.

  11499. Wagner has no tanks. This is the Russian version of the Jan. 6th attack on US Capitol by Donald Trump

  11500. "Putin is the Eye of Sauron! Give us money!" ....eye roll
    1
  11501. Of course; this is Russia. Only the timing of today's events surprised me; I thought this would happen after the war. All the Westerners who know what Russia is are dead or in a nursing home; most Biden supporters were toddlers or not yet born when the Wall fell. Assuming Prigozhin lives to see it; as soon as the war is over he will have to disband his army or leave Russia permanently with it. No way Putin allows a force of 25K battle-hardened shock troops to sit around outside of Military control with nothing to do.

  11502. Yeah, IRS can GFY....I didn't get a vote on spending all this money on foreigners....

  11505. No different than the Crocus terror attack; just more Ukraine terrorism...

  11506. Macron and his party were crushed as utterly as Joe Biden was the other night. These war-mongers didn't listen to us, their own People for three years; doing only what they wanted to do, not what The People wanted them to do. Their day of reckoning has come.
    1
  11507. If you weren't sure up to this point, I hope you realize it now. If Mike Johnson is about to spend his time fighting the "Big Lie 2.0", that is all you need to see to understand Ukraine ranks just above zero on the GOP priority list. Zelensky will never see a penny of that $30B that was earmarked for Ukraine in the aid bill MTG just made a speech today in Georgia and every word out of her mouth is identical to what MSNBC has been calling "Russian propaganda" all week. You Ukraine supporters think Mike Johnson is the problem; all along you had it wrong: Mike Johnson is the REASONABLE one. Poland, Romania and Spain have refused to transfer additional air defence systems to Ukraine to protect its critical infrastructure, arguing that they want to preserve their own defence capabilities. Germany gave Ukraine two Patriot systems , but said that's it----no more. *EVERYONE IS EITHER DONE WITH THIS, OR ABOUT TO BE DONE WITH IT^
    1
  11508. Wars always reach the zenith of ferocity right before they end. For both Japan and Germany, the last six months of WW2 saw horrors even they could not have imagined five years before. Yesterday's missile barrage, was clearly the beginning of the End for Ukraine. This terrorist attack was no coincidence...
    1
  11509. Ukraine has not destroyed a single T-22, Tu-160 or Tu-95 the entire war. Russia has over 1500 combat aircraft, including over 700 Su-30/34/35 type and not a single plane from its far-flung Air Defense Commands (like Siberia, Arctic, etc.) has had even one plane transferred to the SMO due to losses. Everything out of Kyiv's mouth for two years is a lie.
    1
  11510. Maybe?? LOL. A whole Army of Russian Army, Chechens, and Wagners basically "redeployed" today... 🙂
    1
  11511. Fair game if Ukraine had the weapons. However for the United States to give (not sell) the means to do so, is indistinguishable from joining the war on their side, imho. If Ukraine had their own arms industry and were able build and deploy such weapons, no problem. For Biden to send them the munitions to do it? HELL NO.

    1
  11516. No idea what Iran's gambit is, but that makes us just like the US and Israel----they don't know either. Spy satellites just say "Iran is moving missiles and drones around"; only the Iranians know what is coming. Should be an exciting weekend!
    1
  11517. I'm shocked Ukraine still had a 203mm SPG left to use. No one in the West produces that shell caliber and the ancient stocks were given to them years ago. I bet that gun hadn't been fired in a year or more...
    1
  11518. Not yet. The West has to see the Abrams on a railcar in Mariupol and the F-16 turned into a lawn dart. THEN they'll give up and seek an Armistice. A few more months.
    1
  11519. Oh really? Ancient bldg that should have been demolished in 1963 now going to be because it is half collapsed already??? EV's weigh a lot more than gas cars, so all those hundreds of NYC garages that date to the days of tenement housing, probably need to be demolished. In 10 years when half the cars in there are 6000 pounds each instead of 3000 pounds each, they'll be pancaking every other month.
    1
  11520. Welcome back to Earth from your journey home from Mars! AFU has probably fired over 50 Storm Shadow missiles at the bridge (at $2M each), naval drones, and S-300s (when they had them). A few insignificant hits is all they got. Russia shoots down 90% of Storm Shadows now; they don't even bother trying that weapon anymore.

  11521. Ukraine is finished, and it’s clear a strong segment of NATO wants to fight RU directly. They are preparing for the next war….😮

  11523. We here in the US aren't even sure Biden had the authority to order the US military to shoot down Iranian State property. US was not attacked. No UN mandate for hostilities with Iran. No Congressional Declaration of War on Iran. What authority did Biden have then??
    1
  11524. YT delete the fact that US programmed these missiles
    1
  11525. Those widows need to stop crying and pick up a rifle. Like Biden said: the United States will fight to the last Ukrainian!"
    1
  11526. The reason it surprised everyone (and I do mean everyone ) is because it's been against NATO policy for 2+ years for AFU to send Western-donated weapons into Russia. Very simple. A "surprise" attack, because NATO changed its own "rules"...." A bit like Japan sending the Declaration of War to Washington as the bombs were falling on Pearl ...."
    1
  11527. If Zelensky had more brains than balls, he'd take the 'long game'. Zelensky is only 44 years old; he could live for 30 or more years while overseeing a Ukraine that may have lost some territory, but is now ground zero for NATO. He'll live far longer than Putin and who knows what the future possibilities would be? Instead of wasting all the NATO equipment in an attack that has ZERO chance of pushing Russia out of the occupied areas, accept a cease-fire and use that equipment to form the basis of a new AFU that by 2040 will be as strong as Poland. You never know what could happen after that time.
    1
  11528. The numbers for September are coming in and they are awe inspiring. Russia bombed over 70 Ukrainian citites and towns a total of 840 times. Thats just missiles and guided bombs. Drones and artillery hits so numerous they cant be counted. The Empire Strikes Back.
    1
  11529. Biden's diplomats can pull this off, but they can't stop the war in Ukraine? They don't want to...."
    1
  11530. Because the point is to stave off Ukraine's defeat until after the Election.
    1
  11531. Over on SKY and CNN they are howling about how NATO "didn't give Ukraine enough to win". It would have taken 3000 tanks, 500,000 men, 500 fighters, 200 attack planes, 5000 artillery pieces, just to GIVE UKRAINE AN EVEN MONEY CHANCE. Biden Administration going to be savaged by the history books.
    1
  11532. This whole war is a disaster for everyone involed and it didn't have to happen. The draft security framework Russia sent to Biden and NATO in September, 2021 (that Biden ignored because it was too heavily in favor of Russia), is now far greater than what Ukraine has at this moment. No war, and Ukraine today would have more than it does right now. That is why Biden keeps doubling down; he can't let Ukraine come out with less than what they would have had 18 months ago or his decision will be ridiculed for centuries in military schools the world over.
    1
  11533. In 2015 Obama refused to arm Ukraine to fight Russia because he believed the only way to "win" would be for US to eventually have to come in and do it. So DEMs are basically saying their Most Favored Son was wrong ??

    1
  11545. They are waiting for something; either the US election or deeper evaluation of the Russian response and whether its worth it. Against a weak country they'd have done it months ago. NATO has no limits on its behavior but for opposing power; they do not practice self restraint...."

    1
  11548. Oh they "acknowledge" what we can all see with our eyeballs; 200 sq km of their land now "buffer zone" full of Russian troops? My only question is when Kharkiv becomes Kharkov, there will have to be a "buffer zone" to protect it too, correct? Meaning RU will have to carve out at least 30 to 40 km east and south of it to protect it. That's going to be a DMZ of 20% of Ukraine's remaining land.

  11550. Americans trying to counter Putin on Russian history, or weigh in on Ukrainian "identity" vs. Russian "identity" should simply be quiet.

    1
  11558. "Drones" lol. No one knows that it was but CNN/BBC/F24 keep saying "drones" like they know for sure. That was no "depot"; it was an arsenal, a structure designed to hold large amounts of weapons safely underground. No drone could penetrate the roof/walls/ground to such a degree.

  11560. Yep, now he's been scared he's more dangerous than ever. Today he put a missile right down the throat of men he knew to be British, American, and Polish mercenaries having coffee at a cafe. The Putin of a week ago would not have done that. He's pissed now; he realizes that trying to fight a war while being "nice" just means more death for both sides.

  11563. West can't keep up. Russia shooting 30,000 shells a day to Ukraine 4,000 and this been going on since last September. Any facilities in Ukraine gets blown up by Iskander, S-300, Kinzhal or Oniks.
    1
  11564. NATO/EU has GIVEN (not sold) to Ukraine weapons the value of which exceeds all of Russia 2022 military budget; that is TWENTY countries giving weapons vs. Russia (plus cheap drones from Iran that Russia has to pay for). 20 vs. 1.3 and Russia still standing, grinding it out the hard way. Russia is becoming the "Rocky" of the World. Of course Ukraine wants option #4, they have nothing to lose from the nuclear risk as they barely have a country right now. This analysis completely ignores the Hard Truth: Biden holds Zelensky's leash------Ukraine can only do what Biden enables it to do and Biden is under severe political pressure back home. 80 tanks won't stop Russia; and 300 or 400 tanks are years away. In those years Biden may not be President (and he is visibly deteriorating age wise). Imho, Ukraine's options are limited to what can occur in less than two years time and #4 is not militarily feasible in less than two years. End of story.

  11565. If you were born around 1970, as I was, you can't imagine the disappointment people my generation feel if they were little kids who dreamed of the stars. As a child, everything was possible in terms of aerospace; it was just a matter of time. Everyone wanted to work for NASA or the major aerospace companies of the time. The XB-70 was built and flying in 1964! Even today it looks like a spaceship and it would outperform every non-US aircraft currently in existence. I couldn't wait to fly Concorde, then finally when I could afford to fly on it, time had passed it by. It really is quite sad. OPEC and recession and Globalism was a triple-whammy that halted everything in 1975. By 1980, all the grand visions were cancelled, and 15 years later, the Internet took off and with it a generation of brain power turned away from aerospace. All our smart people go to software or EV companies now; hardly anyone dreams of space. Teenagers aspire to environmental technology, not spaceplanes blasting fossil fuel exhaust into the atmosphere. Nobody cares about this stuff anymore.

  11567. Wait until Trump takes power and we now have the Senate and the House, anything we can think of we can make law. We have not forgotten the lies CNN/BBC/NBC/SKY told us for three years, the nasty names we were called for wanting Trump, the jokes made after the attempts on his life

  11572. No weapons = no more war. Zelensky's term ends in about five weeks, Russia just offered (for the 10th time) again to start negotiations at the Istanbul 2022 level. Which, tbh is an AMAZINGLY generous offer. The only people who can't see the wisdom in this are the DEMs who fucced the whole thing up in the first place.

    1
  11575. Half correct. Overthrow is a pipe dream; Putin is embedded in their national psyche. However, a weakened Russia means weak in Syria, unable to sell Su-35 to Iran, unable to assist South Africa, etc. If US degrades them in Ukraine on the cheap, they are degraded everywhere else to offer little or no resistance to the NATO Empire for a generation.

  11577. No amount of spin or psy ops by Ukraine can hide it. Russia has defeated Ukraine in Bakhmut and NATO has lost control of the narrative because everything they've said over the past six months has turned out to be a lie.
    1
  11578.  @AIsavesDemocracy  Does Russia have the right to exist? Or only so if you and Biden agree with how she chooses to exist? The US is clearly the aggressor here and if you don't agree it doesn't really matter. What matters is that is how Russia sees it, so unless you are willing to go all the way to bring Russia to her knees, you are wasting your time. Russia WILL go all the way to remain free.

  11580. Zelensky had a peace deal in January in Turkey. UK stopped it. Thats why UK has taken lead even over US on weapons. They put Ukraine in this position; blood on UK hands....

  11581. Last week Ukraine said "US has assured us the funding will come". I just shook my head; they are not in the US, they have the same ability to read the "political winds" here as we do those of Ukraine---little to none. Even $60B would not produce a Ukraine victory, only prevent its defeat another six months. You can tell Biden knows it but of course he'll never come out and say it....Ukraine is doomed.

  11582. Neutral voices like Col. MacGregor, Col. Davis, Mearsheimer, etc. have been calling this stupid since the day it began; now the fervent pro-NATO voices finally coming around to see objective reality? Keep on coming around; maybe when SKY goes objective, BBC will feel it is safe to do so as well. Then maybe ABC/NBC; CNN will never be objective; they are the heart of the American Left... but enough others do maybe the war can end before things get really bad...."
    1
  11583. Wow. Ukraine believes the whole planet will fall into war just because they have to negotiate a settlement with Russia and become 20% smaller. Two years ago, 90% of Americans couldn't find Ukraine on a map. Zelensky believes he is the center of the Universe.
    1
  11584. Putin trolling the West as usual. They don't even need nukes. They have Avangard, the hypersonic glide vehicle that hits at Mach 27. It has no nuclear (or explosive payload at all), so it violates no treaty; its speed is all the destructive power it needs. It can be carried on any of their ICBMs so it can delete any structure on earth and since it isn't nuclear, Putin can smile and sip his vodka.

  11585. Just last Christmas I was in my Audi dealer getting my 40K mile service done on my 2021 A4. I was drooling over the absolutely gorgeous array of almost every current model, in white, arranged in the showroom. I thought to myself "this generation of Audis looks so good if I had the money I'd buy some just as art". Then I saw the new A5 (A4). OMG. Just.....NO. Buy up all the current gen stuff as much as you can.....

  11587. NATO can't see what it has become. Every time it sees or hears something it doesn't understand or like, it demonstrates its power, and power always invites challenge. Niger coup by all evidence had support of the people. What does NATO do? Send Victoria Nuland to threaten them. Not treat with. Not try to understand. Threaten.

His fan club is not based on his ability to make a legit buck...

  11591. Wow not sure how I missed this. Schmitt asks the question I've asked all along: what is the "win condition"?? Of course we got no answer because this is not really a "war", it is a nation-building exercise with an installed puppet government and what Zelensky wants vs. what the US will be perfectly happy with, are two completely different things.

  11595. Back in December, 2021 I said Biden should get Germany and France on board, and each send one armored division into Ukraine (but not into the annexed territories). Just send them in, sit them on the border with the LPR/DPR, and wait for the phone call from Putin. This would have been settled without a war. Ukraine would not get back much, if any, territory. However, she would be far, far stronger than she is now. Biden didn't listen to me...

  11603. This Security Agreement between them is a much bigger deal than the West Media is letting on; it is an "Article 5" style mutual security pact. Its an open secret NATO was making plans to attack Russia, even with nuclear weapons. Now, such an attack means NK jumps right in; no talking, no wavering; if Russia is attacked, NK opens up on anyone in range, and vice-versa. If some future US President wants to "regime change" NK, he better have a plan to do the same in Russia because he's going to war with both of them.

Nationalism also set off World War Two; the Spanish Civil War was a practice field for Germany, Manchuria the same for Japan. Here we go again now with this Nationalist Leader who doesn't seem to own a suit, telling us we need to fight World War Three on his behalf and nobody who learned the lessons from the first two times is alive to tell him to shut up and go away.

  11607. Biden gonna back down. He can't start a war with Russia without Congress so to do something that Russia may consider an Act of War, he at least has to go before Congress and justify the risk of war. Biden not going to do that 2 months before election.....

He fails to mention the F-16 is the lamb , while the Su-30/35's are the lions. I bet no EU pilots will sign up either...."

  11616. Politics. The NATO summit is in 30 days. Ukraine must show that they are worth supporting by using the free NATO equipment to make some significant change in the status of the war. That is all. Of course they hope to smash through Russian lines and be sunbathing in the Sea of Azov but even they don't believe that is possible.
    1
  11617. AFU will never confirm such. One of the numbers I'm most looking for after this war is over is exactly how many US servicemen were killed in Ukraine during this war. Biden will be gone by then of course, but I imagine it will be over 1000 at least.

RU must have hit something really, really important this time. In all honesty, the past month I've seen RU use an Iskander on a single Ukrainian tank ; we've seen them go after a HIMARS or Patriot or IRIS-T or other very high value single machine, but I never saw one used on a single tank before. RU seems to have stacked up Iskanders in numbers as if they are like so many artillery shells...."

  11621. Such a relief the northern hemisphere will survive at least another year. I think maybe the alien UFOs flying around the past few years must have deactivated all the world's nukes and the governments are keeping it secret from us. Otherwise, it is difficult to explain the unusual open belligerence of NATO countries that seem to all believe it is 1914 and not 2024.

I rented a '22 Suburban last summer for a road trip and with 6 people and all our luggage, that big bus took 40 mph sweepers at 70 mph with hardly any lean and tracked true like a sport sedan. I was speechless. I only wish Ford had put the center screen inside a hooded binnacle. When I see the dual screens like that I get Benz CLA vibes as they are the first to do the dash like that.

  11625. This meeting has nothing to do with Ukraine; that round is already won. Russia by itself is already producing almost 3 times as many shells as US and EU combined. This meeting is about the world after the Ukraine war. NATO may take the "L" on this first round, but they are making sure that doesn't happen in round 2 or round 3, and of their opponents in the wars of 2026-2032, North Korea is the weakest. Putin, fully aware of this, is shoring up his supply chain AND making sure NK is a stronger ally 3 years from now.

  11636. Russia can nuke Ukraine and win tomorrow, but to kill a million civilians would be the end of Putin. China and Iran and even NK (maybe) and certainly the BRICS would all turn their backs on Russia if they did that. AFU knows this which is why they mass their army groups in populated cities....Russia cant wipe out their army without killing 50,000 civilians too. FAB-1500 may offer a way to break the stalemate. Such a weapon may only cause 1000 civilian casualties if dropped on an AFU HQ or vehicle concentration in a populated area.

  11639. No country can watch every inch of its border, look how badly we suck at it. Enemies will almost always be able to enter, just make sure they are destroyed when detected and thats it. Commando raids may tip rhe balance in a close battle but they never win wars. As long as they keep dropping 3000 pound guided bombs on Ukraines army all along the front, Russia wins the war.

  11640. To use ATACMS means the HIMARS launchers have to come out of hiding, which exposes them. The Russians see everything, know everything, and punish everything. The drones will hunt the launchers and the Pantsir-S1 smack down those which get launched; a few will get through-----will make zero difference.

  11641. Zelensky has lost his mind. Ukraine announcing total mobilization today of up to 500,000 more soldiers by next Spring. No one even knows where they will find 500,000 men but that's what they announced. If a Russian 500 kiloton nuke wipes out their NATO army of 40,000 in one day, and the people "see the Light" and tell Zelensky "no more". That attack will save at least 250,000 human lives. Putin must do it.
    1
  11642. No, NO, and NOPE! We don't believe Biden AT ALL. We know you had many chances to negotiate, and you didn't because you thought the "Grand Offensive" would work. We read the big articles in the NYTimes and WaPo; we know the truth. You believed Russia would just run away when the Leopard 2 showed up; you didn't think they'd stand and fight. Well you were wrong. Deadly wrong. No more money to try again and then next year we're right back here having the same debate.

  11643. "...producing weapons doesn't add any value to the society..." This is 100% pure copium, uncut. Producing weapons is how the United States went from an agrarian-based economy in 1900 to what it is today.

  11650. Watch last week's Face The Nation interview with Mitch McConnell if you want to understand US interest in this war. He actually smiled when discussing aid for Ukraine, because most of the money "for" Ukraine never actually makes it to Ukraine. It goes directly to Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman, who then deliver new weapons to the US Military who stores them in the warehouse emptied the day before of old weapons which were shipped to Ukraine. So that explains perfectly why the US has now told Zelensky to negotiate; the old weapon stocks are gone---we've sent all the stuff gathering dust. Even Biden doesn't want to send Ukraine BRAND NEW stuff (because Russians will shoot it down or disable it and capture it and then learn all our latest tech). So, this was a proxy war with a built-in timer: Ukraine better win with all our old stuff, because when we run out the war is over. Go watch the interview for yourself; that Ghoul never even once shows the slightest empathy for you know all the hundreds of thousands of men DYING on both sides.

The Audi A7 will have $3000 more hardware AT EACH AXLE than this pretend "luxury" car. The GV80 has no air suspension, no active roll bars, no off-road hardware; of course it will cost $20K less than a Range Rover; its WORTH $20K LESS. "Looks like a Bentayga"----LMAO.

  11659. No surprise; however the ones they need to dismiss are the ones they cannot: Austin, Milley, Nuland, and Blinken. Today the Western Media is howling in joy about Andriivka. That's what the West has gotten after almost FOUR months of the "Grand Spring Offensive" that was to break through to the Sea of Azov just in time for the NATO summit in Lithuania on JULY 12th. NATO really believed they would have shattered Russia so completely in just SIX WEEKS that Putin would have been a broken man by the middle of July. The gap between that and reality is the measure of just how massive a failure this offensive was. Past tense on purpose because this thing is over----rain is coming in a few weeks and no one is moving anywhere. NATO openly admits Russia is outproducing it in ammunition and every single one of the NATO-trained brigades with the "wunderwaffe" are engaged and being attritted as we speak. That's all we got for our $100B: Andriivka and Robotyne. Pre-war population 74 and 520 respectively.

  11660. Because Russia is investigating and gathering the evidence for DNA analysis? When they are done, we will know the truth.

    1
  11667. They were born in the peak of "cheap money", and their cars cost too goddam much. Benz cant give away their fleets of $130K EQ series EVs. Lucid just now released it's cheapo model and that is an $80K sedan...no one buys sedans. Rivian is slightly ahead, they just now have an SUV, but again its $90K and no one can afford it. Their cars are much higher quality than Tesla where they compete, but they have no $40K cars to sell and that's where the volume is. Government must give Lucid and Rivian $5B in taxpayer money like Tesla got, that'll allow them to ride out the downturn
    1
  11668. EU elites are losing spectacularly and have no strategy; so they are just reacting without thinking of the consequences. They never had a strategy even two years ago; they thought "here, give Ukraine some old weapons and the Russian drunk conscripts will run away". This is centuries old European Aristocratic snobbish thinking about Russians; nothing new.
    1
  11669. Americans fighting each other over money. How traditional!
    1
  11670. This is "Biden's War" now. The lines were where they were, both sides willing to start talking, no real need to add fuel to the fire. Then Biden blows it all up to spite Trump
    1
  11671. Bakhmut is going into the history books. 50K Ukrainian soldiers to lose it, another 50K to take it back. 100K dead. There will be so many ghosts on that land, hotels there in 2300 will still have guests calling frantically that the place is haunted.
    1
  11672. Bro, there are paintings of young girls servicing men on the walls of Pompeii----from 2200 years ago.
    1
  11673. They are old enough by far to be immune to propaganda, so I am 100% sure they are not fighting for NATO or Vicky Nuland's Vision. Amazing that France24 never asked them the most important question: Why are they fighting? I'd love to hear if their answer dates prior to 2014....
    1
  11674.  @AndyWoohoo666  LOL. Western dupe. They've had that for 1500 years prior to 2014...
    1
  11675. No wonder there are so many California plates in my State. In CA so much taxpayer money is transferred from one group to another , you can buy a $50K car for $25K and the difference is paid by your neighbors.
    1
  11676. That is true of every Ukraine article, why should this one be different? 🙂
    1
  11677. You must not have any children.... My two boys under age 21 will never in a thousand years be sent to Ukraine to fight Russians, North Koreans, or even Martians for Ukraine. Ukraine don't matter one bit to me....
    1
  11678. All these wars are everywhere and I personally would not go fight in any of them. These are blood feuds or civil wars between groups and cultures ten times older than the United States. Nothing at all to do with us.....vote out anyone who wants to insert us into these wars.
    1
  11679. UK intelligence said "shovels" back in January and then the shovels took Bakhmut. UK has zero credibility to me.
    1
  11680. Not true. Russia has been holding back all along; that restraint was Prigozhin's main complaint. Your really think Russia could not nuke all of Ukraine tomorrow if they so desired?
    1
  11681. This is why US is stripping down the Abrams they are sending. It will basically be a tank with iron sights by the time Ukraine gets it.
    1
  11682. Bro, did you listen? He said the females were in body armor and fully kitted out as assault troopers. This was no dam news reporter.
    1
  11683. No one listens to the EU; they have proven all the power they had was from the United States; without the US, Ukraine is stronger than they are. That is why both EU and Ukraine have been left out of the negotiating room as they are on the equal level.
    1
  11684. US won't allow Ukraine to make peace. Biden and the Democrat Party want Putin destroyed at all costs.
    1
  11685. I see that anytime anyone mentions Russian and Ukrainian history, YT deletes it. Trump gonna fix that Left censorship here very soon...
    1
  11686. AFU: A day after being savaged in the first "double double-envelopment" at Niu York, they initiate a "Battle of the Bulge" that doesn't last even 48 hours.... AFU's performance in this war will be taught in military academies for the next 200 years as an example of what NOT to do .... "
    1
  11687. US won't send it to Ukraine.... I saw the vid yesterday of FIVE Iskanders hitting the same warehouse in Mykolaiv. US can't risk Putin gloating when RU blows up THAAD
    1
  11688. Bakhmut? That was like a month ago, yesterday an entire Ukrainian platoon and two vehicles surrendered. Where is that vid WSJ?
    1
  11689. Zelensky Victory Plan: US fights and defeats Russia. "You said whatever it takes in 2022 in Istanbul, Joe; you owe me..."
    1
  11690. I'm so inspired I'd vote for him if he ran for our Presidency
    1
  11691. It would be even hotter if I could figure out how to divert my US income taxes to the Russian Army instead....
    1
  11692. Watch US quickly break yet another entry in its "rules based order"
    1
  11693. Wow. Biden was right when he told Obama "she can't win".
    1
  11694. Biden thought this would be where he gets the glory of Russia on her knees. Nope!
    1
  11695. Fair is fair. Unless Ukraine used NATO cluster shells as Russia has accused them of. If that is true, all bets for Russia's next response are off...
    1
  11696. Yeah, like the "rebellion" that started when I had my coffee and was over before I even had dinner? Yeah...whatever. There will be Prigozhin sightings in 2053...
    1
  11697. They tried back in 1962 by putting missiles in Cuba. US reacted just like Russia; immediate hostile reaction. We put a fleet around the island and threatened war, just like Russia put an army on Ukraine's border and threatened war. However Russia at that time was smart enough to back down; our Biden/Blinken duo was not that smart...
    1
  11698. I hope Putin remembers the US population just voted against escalation two weeks ago. Pray he treats Biden as a rogue viewpoint with no lasting power...
    1
  11699. Ok I see the context clarification; he was not speaking about Ukraine but about "Baltic NATO States". However even though his conclusion is correct, his premise is BS. Russia will not "enter Baltic NATO States" as that is 100% guaranteed nuclear war with NATO. That is Zelensky propaganda to scare us into keeping up the support, nothing more. Even he doesn't believe that...
    1
  11700. Someone wake Biden up and remind him he has no authority to Declare war as no one has attacked the United States
    1
  11701. Dang! Even half-Japanese born and raised in Japan , there are restaurants that wouldn't serve you as they don't serve "foreigners"?? That would really suck...
    1
  11702. So you believe the "claims" of a bunch of terrorists?? LOL.
    1
  11703. What are we at now in total from NATO? $310B or $365B??
    1
  11704. Hopefully so...
    1
  11705. Theyll negotiate a path to reunification and the US won't get the war they want so much. Why this country loves war I'll never know. A big part of it is we have the sea on with side and never been invaded. Like a child, we dont fear whats never happened to us.
    1
  11706. I knew from many Western articles the Russian pay was high, but they never went into this detail. When you adjust the pay to USD it blows my mind; hell I'm 48 and for a $200K bonus I might cook or drive a truck for three years!!
    1
  11707. How can a President be a "dictator" if he is voted in? How can a President be a "dictator" when he cannot make any law; only Congress can? DEMs use the words "Dictator" and "Fascism" so much for what is really just "policy I don't agree with", that when the real Fascist shows up no one will pay any attention to the warnings....
    1
  11708. RU destroys it as soon as it gets there. The "bulge" hasn't gotten bigger in ten days....."
    1
  11709. Whoever was on the border ran away. Zelensky has already fired the commander for Kharkiv sector; Budanov is blaming Syrsky and the reinforcements arriving today from the south were greeted by a rain of artillery shells. RU is inside Vovchansk and about to storm Lyptsi; Lyptsi is only 33km from Kharkiv. That means in about two days, RU will be able to directly shell Kharkiv all day and night with 1M North Korean artillery shells and rockets. May as well start calling it Kharkov right now...
    1
  11710. Leave her alone, she is providing a necessary service that all men need at some point in their lives. She only has a short window of time to make money this way, once she is 40 or 45 she can go back to teaching...."
    1
  11711. They want to go EU with trans.... Impossible for that to be true.
    1
  11712. US gave him $500,000 . Half a mil to betray your country.
    1
  11713. I live about 30 mins from Excelsior Springs; that is a very high roller town where Patrick Mahomes has a house. What time did it occur? I didn't hear anything last night, but then again I usually sleep through crazy Kansas/Missouri thunderstorms...."
    1
  11714. Zelensky has 5 days left in his term, then he is no longer a "head of State". There is an Iskander with his name on it just waiting and he knows it. This is the beginning of the "rubout phase" for the key players on both sides. Orban better quadruple his guard detail.
    1
  11715. A war crime like Biden sending cluster shells?
    1
  11716. Prison is safer....
    1
  11717. This isnt climate change Haole
    1
  11718. More like Operation Barbarossa 2024, except this time instead of the Ukrainians waving at the passing panzers, they are driving them..."
    1
  11719. Everyone thinks Putin only wants cheap artillery shells, and he probably does. Kim of course wants ICBM tech in return. However a few mil bloggers guessed last week Kim may offer troops as well as he wants his army----which hasn't fought in battle since the 1950s---to gain real experience for his officer corps. The World watched in awe last year what Wagner did with a few thousand highly experienced core leaders, and tens of thousands of lightly trained soldiers. They defeated a NATO-supplied army that outnumbered them in the largest urban battle since WW2. That kind of experience is now priceless to the non-NATO world.
    1
  11720. What comes next after Bidens cluster bombs? Everyone is now a "war criminal" so that is now meaningless. What next from US or UK? Nerve gas? Anthrax?
    1
  11721. we who comment here are just the same, are we not?
    1
  11722. If you are a Ukrainian, what are you fighting for? Midway was last summer, you are in Iwo Jima now. Why you fighting? You don't have an Emperor
    1
  11723. ...and now the propaganda justification for breaking our own laws begins.
    1
  11724. That is exactly the mindset that started this disaster back in 2014. "Regime change"
    1
  11725. The strategy? Turn the United States into what the UK is today? Irrelevant.
    1
  11726. You'd think with all the sex these men would be LESS violent not more. Sexual frustration turns men into beasts. If they are getting it, why so much violence??
    1
  11727. I know right! I'm not sure how I stomach seeing White people every day after the Buffalo mass shooting attack; however I try...
    1
  11728. Napolensky is pouring everything; all his new equipment from the $61B aid, his conscripts grabbed out of bars last March, his convicts just freed from prison, everything but the kitchen sink into this Kursk "bulge". ABC keeps telling us they are "pushing deeper" , but the "bulge" hasn't changed in size in over a week. Looks like its going to be a repeat of 1812 for Napolensky...."
    1
  11729. Dodge Charger, found smashed into a wall, wrapped around a tree, down an embankment, or through a street level window in every city in America since 2006.
    1
  11730. No more tax money; all it does is delay the inevitable. Those that want to help Ukraine are free to join up on their own. NO MORE MONEY. NO MORE WEAPONS. Zelensky will talk when he has no choice but to do so."
    1
  11731. This is really a US vs. Russia war----Ukraine is just the American hands/feet/blood. If Russia had stealth aircraft, this war would have been over last summer. Stealth is the "killer app" Russia lacks. Guaranteed China is watching and learning and both they and Russia will spend huge sums on stealth in the future. Stealth allows you to take out anything you want, anytime you want, from the air. No need to fight trench by trench when you can erase anything bigger than a truck from the air----the men in the trenches would be naked and starving in a couple of weeks. War is over.
    1
  11732. Watch. They will throw up charts to say it was Iran. US wants to get Iran for years , but just needed justification that would pass the CNN test.
    1
  11733. I'll never buy an EV BMW until they no longer build gas ones, but if I had this shoved down my throat I wouldn't complain too loudly. That's the best I can say about EVs...
    1
  11734. So your "solution" is to Demilitarize Britain? Glad you aren't in charge...
    1
  11735. US actions under the Biden Admin. have long passed into the realm of absurd. A couple of days ago they asked India to ban RT channel because, well, we banned it so everyone else should too. Today the Biden Admin. urges "Iran to avoid furthering tensions...".... That's like the Germans calling up FDR the day after Pearl Harbor and telling him "don't take any actions that would further tensions...." against Japan....
    1
  11736. For centuries if necessary. Russia has vast energy and commodity wealth, they won't stop. But then EU has investments in Ukraine farming and the huge LNG storage so EU has hundreds of billions of investment they don't want to lose
    1
  11737. "US allies have embraced that with open arms". LOL. Total LIE. Sunak just on record saying he is NOT in favor of this. Biden Administration lies more than Putin does.
    1
  11738. Yes. By winning the war. You may have noticed Russian operational tempo has increased the past month.
    1
  11739. I honestly don't know how cops deal with drunk people. Their brains aren't functioning so communicating with them is impossible. It is like trying to talk to an antelope. They really need to create a mobile drunk tank; a bus with like a dozen padded cells that people can simply be detained in until they sober up.
    1
  11740. American "education" at work.
    1
  11741. This is really the only thing about German cars I don't like. You can't buy them and keep them; you have to lease them new. I currently daily a 2011 Jag XJ SC that I bought 7 years ago. I change the oil every 5K miles and do the services and it just runs forever. A simple supercharged V8 engine and ZF trans. You can't do that with a hyper complicated German car. Benz,BMW,Audi always constantly trying to out-do each other by pushing the tech envelope makes their cars age much faster than say, a Lexus. Can you imagine a C-Class or 4-Series or A6 with the 3.5 V6 from a Camry?? That would be wonderful!
    1
  11742. I don't think most people realize what is at stake here. Biden has sent B-52 bombers to the Middle East in just the past two days. When US sends a B-52 anywhere that means war , not "deterrence" , not "saber-rattling" ... war
    1
  11743. This is why Isolationism is so entrenched (and growing) in the United States. Every time we turn around, our politicians want to start another foreign war. Just yesterday the State Department said they've just about had "enough" of Maduro in Venezuela. ENOUGH OF WHAT ?? A sovereign country doing as it wants inside its own borders ?? What next? Blinken invading Caracas???" This generation of DEM leaders are insane..."
    1
  11744. No worry, RAND Corp. says the West can "win" it....
    1
  11745. Just like with banned cluster bombs. Only until the ends justify the means...
    1
  11746. Russia has like 400+ Airbus and Boeing airliners from virtually every EU carrier that were stranded inside Russia on the day the SMO began. Maduro should have just bought one of those as they are never going back to the EU; for $13M he could have gotten an A320 or 737 which could have flown direct from Russia to Venezuela with no need to land in a servile US lap-dog country like the DR...."
    1
  11747. ...along with how many others?
    1
  11748. Yeah, message to Biden Administration is: "...leave us the fucc alone..."
    1
  11749. What type are the NK missiles? KN-25 heavy MLRS 600 mm rockets or something else?
    1
  11750. Lots of alien sightings being reported the past few days. They know where this war will lead; nuclear annihilation of the human race and they are showing themselves now to get first dibs on prime real estate once we are gone.
    1
  11751. Just look at the news. Ukraine discovered many of its defensive fortifications were not built properly or not built at all; the money is being "lost" somewhere between us giving it to them and the company hired to dig the trenches and install the concrete bunkers. Not to mention, half the $60B is just to pay salaries and float the government (THRITY BILLION DOLLARS TO PAY THEIR SALARIES!!). Only $15B is actual weapons and ammo----look at the size and manpower of the Russian army groups swarming all along the 1000 km front and tell me you believe $15B of weapons and ammo will do anything other than delay the Russian steamroller another 30 days or so. Don't even get me started on the money for Israel (don't need it), and Taiwan (seriously???). GOP doing We the People a favor by stopping this. It is the DEMs who are showing "hypocrisy"...
    1
  11752. Methanol is significantly more expensive than fuel oil so that means by 2040 everything on Earth will cost triple what it does now. Hey, it's only money right? If anything will drive the Earth to a system where money is no longer used, it will be adapting to climate change. The numbers are so stratospheric that it would take centuries for most countries to pay for it.
    1
  11753. Jesus H. Christ, this has to be fake. I do not believe there is a real woman on this Earth so monstrous as this.
    1
  11754. Thats the price of Freedom. Russians finally captured all of Marinka yesterday, a city from which Donetsk has been bombarded for nine years. The people of the DPR know that Freedom isn't free
    1
  11755. But UN won't probe the drone strike that killed 112 Syrian soldiers and civilians.
    1
  11756. Texas would send these two straight to Hell. California will let them out in five years because "overcrowding".
    1
  11757. WOW...... Usual suspect for these types of crimes....
    1
  11758. Macron showing signs of panic; no number of pretty words or spin can hide that. Everyone thought US aid was just a formality; most of the Western world now shocked to find out that Biden is not a dictator and Congress has to approve money being spent for anything at the Federal level. Not everyone in the US agrees with this proxy war policy.
    1
  11759. Turkey is asking for UN authorization to put up a no-fly zone over Lebanon. That is a great idea because US wont stop Israel, and Israel can't stop itself....
    1
  11760. NATO suddenly announced "meeting" two days ago requiring Zelensky to go meet Stoltenberg?? Remember in November Zelensky went to US Congress to beg, then came back suddenly two days later?? Yeah somebody is hunting his azz
    1
  11761. Russia is on NATOs hit list and it goes back to 2014. Before that NATO was cautiously optimistic there could be a Starbucks in Moscow indefinitely, but after the takeover by "little green men" that went out the window. Also the Democrat party was extremely pissed at Putin personally for what he did to sink Hillary Clinton in 2016. That sealed it. High ranking NATO+Dem President = Destroy Putins Russia at all costs
    1
  11762. It has now been a year since: "Pope Francis has said Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine was “perhaps somehow provoked” as he recalled a conversation in the run-up to the war in which he was warned Nato was “barking at the gates of Russia”. I think we can all agree the Pope called it correctly?
    1
  11763. Remember two months ago Biden announced Azov Brigade can now get American weapons because "they are no longer nazis"??? 😂😂😂 This is US and NATO 100%...."
    1
  11764. Russia has all it needs. They are turning Crimea and the Separatist border into a new "Maginot Line" or "North Korean DMZ"; a defensive line so littered with mines, artillery, tanks, missiles and men, only a nuclear war could crack it.
    1
  11765. Shoigu has been preparing for this for a year now; they like everyone else expected it back in December, so they've had an additional five months to prepare. Gonna look like Spring, 1945 all across Ukraine here in a few weeks...
    1
  11766. Same way US is. Our leaders serve themselves and others before they serve us. Very simple. Very aggravating.
    1
  11767. The flooding was to ensure Russia can't attack through there while Ukraine re-deploys. They took a beating yesterday near Vuhledar and have to reinforce there. They don't want Russia smashing through Kherson while they are vulnerable.
    1
  11768. Just amazes me how none of the Western Media seems to have any moral problem with this; astounds me really. Two days and not a single article on CNN/BBC about whether Israel should do this, just "wow, hey that's pretty cool!". How is the West so accepting of what is a completely unprecedented instance of hybrid warfare (that caused thousands of casualties as collateral damage)???? Imagine if Haiti had done this to a country it was fighting.....everyone in the West would be so accepting???
    1
  11769. "ISIS-K" something no one ever heard of and has no "leadership" just hooded dudes making vids with a selfie stick. GTFOHWTBS!!
    1
  11770. 20 storm shadow=$40M , lets say 40 Russian AA missiles about $3/4M. Thats why NATO losing in a nutshell
    1
  11771. Can it make me believe Ana De Armas is in my bed and we are going at it like two scorpions in a bottle?
    1
  11772. You know this is BS. Many Russians are "anti-Putin"; 140 million people don't all agree on everything. However, you would be hard-pressed to find a Russian that is "pro-Kyiv". Even Nalvany wasn't "pro-Kyiv"...
    1
  11773. I keep hearing from DEMs that a good chunk of this aid is to "replenish our own stocks since we gave it to Ukraine already" but of course they never say what exactly is that. So, we've been low on shells for six months because Biden shipped the stuff to Ukraine assuming this would pass back in December??? Isn't that the definition of gambling with OUR national security ??
    1
  11774. Carlson asked the type of questions we "little people" (not Elites, not Biden Admin shills, not Diplomats, etc.) would ask. If Joe Average American found himself in a waiting room next to Putin and could ask "why do you feel we are a threat to you?" Of course Putin is rendering the world as he sees it, and he minimizes the crappy things he did while maximizing the crappy things NATO did. Like Minsk for example; he hammers the EU for them treating it like nothing, but he never mentions Russia also treated it like nothing THE MOMENT THE GOVERNMENT OF UKRAINE WAS NO LONGER PRO-RUSSIA. Putin's explanation for this? "That new government was CIA-installed so we didn't make any agreement with them." Who to believe? Up to you. One thing Putin is right about though; this war didn't start in 2022....it started in 2014...
    1
  11775. Wow...the beggars are now very choosy, eh? The US is like the parent who gives too many gifts and has now spoiled the Ukrainian child.....
    1
  11776. Area looks the same as a week ago except for a couple of "fingers" outward.... Its hardly charging anymore..."
    1
  11777. That's like your ghetto neighbor offering you his 2004 KIA Rio.....
    1
  11778. ...and how will Russia know when these NATO weapons start targeting their nuclear infrastructure (which Ukraine has already done), that its not NATO directing Ukraine to do it in order to prepare for a NATO First Strike??
    1
  11779. It's Bidens War now...
    1
  11780. Smart. Force it down and recover it mostly intact as opposed to blowing it to pieces. Send it to Iran and by next year they'll have copied it, and will build one 80% as capable for 20% of the price.
    1
  11781. I know a LOT about military history and geopolitics, but every time I listen to this man I learn something new
    1
  11782. Once Russia destroys this "offensive" (if it ever comes). There is no NATO support after this and Ukraine knows it.
    1
  11783. Hmmm, those look like luxury condos. At leat we will never hear CNN complain about Russia bombing civilians anymore....
    1
  11784. Looks like an Alfa Stelvio with the front and rear fascia changed; typical Korean copy just like all their other vehicles. $65K sounds like a deal but a Macan GTS or Stelvio QF will utterly destroy this dynamically for $15K more. The quality of an Audi Q5 will make you cry in your beer if you paid $65K for this and don't even mention the Benz.
    1
  11785. How about NATO just leave Russia TF alone? Stop trying to "expand" to put missiles closer to Moscow?? How is that so goddam difficult to understand? Russia REACTS to NATO---a military alliance that exists to defeat it. When was the last time Russia threatened a country that had nothing at all to do with NATO???
    1
  11786. Post Apocalyptic
    1
  11787. Turkey arrested 34 Mossad agents yesterday, who were planning kidnappings and terrorism in their country. You can imagine there are similar "cells" in pretty much any country with a population where such people can blend in.
    1
  11788. Zelensky just signed a law allowing conscription of up to 20,000 convicts. Why West media doesn't talk about that? Seems like a very interesting development
    1
  11789. Russia, please burn Ukraine to the ground utterly. Ukraine under Zelensky is becoming dangerous not only to Russia, but to everyone around them as well. Destroy the cancer before it spreads. Thank you.
    1
  11790. Part of Russia for 1500 years. What right do US/UK have to it?
    1
  11791. Was the F-16 possible loss in Ivano-Frankivsk??
    1
  11792. Go to non-Western news sites to see ALL the video. CNN/BBC/SKY don't show the rest of it where the ambulance was extracting the dead couple and their injured daughter from that black SUV. Slava Ukraini straight to Hell...
    1
  11793. Just tell me where they are NOT going...
    1
  11794. Russians are dropping leaflets all over Chasiv Yar and Ocheretnye, explaining to these AFU conscripts how to surrender so they can live to be an old man. So far, the 25th Airmobile has surrendered en masse, the 69th and 115th mechanized have abandoned their positions to save their lives.
    1
  11795. No one in the Biden Admin listens to him because he is a Trumper. No one is perfect...
    1
  11796. How long until Biden adds Vietnam to the "Axis of Evil" and prepares for (another) war with them??
    1
  11797. That is the problem right there. CNN Annointed him a couple years ago and it went to his head so he can no longer see with objective eyes. His country is falling down in flames all around him and he's like "give me more weapons!"
    1
  11798. who cares about such things? Austin just announced 8000 NK soldiers are moving into position near Kursk. Likely will not see them in action until after the US election. Each side preparing for different scenario depending on who wins US election. Trump: war ends. Harris: war goes on bigger and nastier. That's what matters! Not who said the most bad words about each other!!

  11799. Wars have a funny habit of doing things you never would have expected in places you never would have expected. Joe Biden had no military experience and has never understood war; the bungled Afghanistan exit debacle was a precursor. Putin sent him a draft framework in September 2021 and he ignored it; believing he could enable Ukraine to win a war easily. Now, Poland, Romania, Belarus, Niger, NK, Iran, China (and more to come), all moving, angling, shaping and being opportunistic in this environment created by Biden's CHOICE.

  11802. I work for one of the Big Three. In Feb. we were told 2020 was so good we'd earned a bonus bigger than the one from 2018 or 2019. I was stunned (and happy!). If you only get 100 chips, using them to build your most profitable product instead of lower cost ones is just smart business sense. The chip costs the same no matter which vehicle you put it in; building the $65K car instead of the $35K car is smart. It is Capitalism; they are in business to make money----shocking I know.
    1
  11803. Big blame game going on in American media this week. Biden and Zelensky each blaming the other, but the Americans do have a point. Ukraine may not have gotten every single thing it wanted, but it got a lot MORE of things it did want so overall it had a powerful force with a chance of breaking the Surovikin line. However AFU split the force up to protect Bakhmut sector, so the force that went into Zaporizhzhia was only about half as strong as US Genearals estimated it needed to be. We all know what happened: Bradley Square and failure. Americans have a point there...

  11804. With Biden, Ukraine can pretend its on equal footing with Russia. When Trump wins, reality will set in

  11806. If Russia offered some sweet energy and grain deals to the Bahamas and in exchange got a Naval base and ballistic missiles stationed there, I guarantee you the United States would fight.

  11811. It is a shame such an awesome vehicle won't last more than 5 or 6 years without bankrupting you. If this were a Lexus, I would totally drop the $140,000 on it because it would basically handle any automotive need I could possibly have until 2034 and would do 250,000K miles with ease just changing fluids and filters. Unfortunately, it is an Audi so no...

  11812. So, again (for the 435th time), the military blogosphere who reported this in December, have been vindicated. I long ago stopped listening to Western mainstream news; the bloggers are far more accurate and timely.

  11815. RU has 1500 aircraft, 2000 to 3000 tanks and countless artillery. To "win" you have to not just defend, you have to defeat all of that. Last summer the key to winning was Russia would run away from Western tanks. Russia NOT fighting was a key part of how the Biden administration sold the offensive. I would love to know what AFU believes is their new "Key" to victory

  11819. Abrams never fought a real army until now. In its defense, its 40 years old; when it came out in 1981 it probably could have driven through 1000 enemy troops and their armored vehicles all by itself and emerge victorious.

  11823. $70K for the top trims. For a vehicle that would cost $35K tops if it were powered by a 2.0t??? I'm sorry but that is only "normal" sometime in the future, not today. "Hmm baby, I can't decide if we should get the BMW X5 or the Kia EV6..." Remember five years ago when everyone said "the price premium for EVs will decrease and by 2023 they should be on par with gas cars"??? Hahahaha!
    1
  11824. I told you two months ago that Biden will NEVER close the border, even if it means Ukraine's demist because #1 He'd never get a single Trump voter to vote for him by closing the border. And #2, the resolution of the Ukraine war will be done THIS year by some kind of settlement with NATO. He talks about the "massive need for aid", but that is talk only. $60B isn't going to change the outcome and the outcome has already been decided.

  11825. US already paying the public sector salaries and pensions of Ukraine. All their Global Hawk and satellite intel from US. NATO generals in their HQ. Ukraine is no longer an independent country, it is a Protectorate of the United States.

  11828. That's what the nukes are for. Never at any time since 1945 has Russia been under the illusion it could beat NATO in conventional war. That's why Stalin went to crazy lengths to get the bomb, copy the B-29, get jets, get rocket scientists, etc. Mutually Assured Destruction (MAD). Our younger Western leaders grew up after 1989 so they didn't know what MAD was....

  11829. Houthis and Iraq sent missiles last night too; Israel got hit by at least four countries last night

  11830. History will not be kind to the Biden Administration or to NATO in general----this farce could only have occurred with the combined ingredients of their idiocy, ineptitude, and total disconnection from reality. When the AFU trooper is talking about firing 17 rounds at a house and it was still standing; what he is saying is that the Abrams was supplied only with anti-tank shells (APFDS), not HE----and HE is what is really needed in the kind of war they face where tank-on-tank engagements are rare, but the need to destroy buildings and fortifications is high. They need a tank that can also function as indirect artillery; a job the Abrams was never designed for and is woefully inadequate for the task. Imagine the millions of our tax dollars wasted to put this 70-ton monstrosity into the hands of these men, only for it to have to cower in the trees, lest it be easily dispatched, while being completely unable to do the job they need done. That is the Biden Legacy.

  11831. AFU Southern Command HQ completely destroyed today by Iskander strike. Trying to find an objective reason an "average Joe" Ukrainian would give his life for this NATO project and I cannot fathom one...

  11832. What the eff??? "Once the war is over, Ukraine will need to have a long-term defense industry, blahh, blahh..." Do NATO people have to undergo daily memory wipes?? Did Bell just hear the Russian State Duma decision a few days ago on the final ultimatum?? "Cease to exist..." they said. There will BE NO Ukraine after the war is over!
    1
  11833. Western journalists love nothing more than to be "embedded" with their nation's army in combat. Since Desert Storm in 1991 made it so popular, no journalists says "no" to that opportunity. All of the thrills of being a soldier, only 1% of the danger, and you can leave at any time.
    1
  11834. Zelensky is pouring his best NATO-equipped units into Kursk, the 47th, 82nd, all the brigades with the Bradley's and Strykers. Why? Becuase when Trump takes office on Jan. 20th, that when the bargaining will begin and the toehold in Kursk is all Ukraine has to bargain with. Russia knows this too which is why they need to make sure there is not even one AFU boot in Kursk on Jan. 20th.... Gonna be one helluva battle there over the next few weeks...
    1
  11835. "Storm" in title , then first words are "met no resistance".... This is why people all over the world despise Western Media

  11836. So? War causes casualties on both sides. The past three months Ukraine has taken 49,000 while Russia only about 15,000. That's the point.

  11837. Meaning Ukraine is "ours" to give?? Whose policy resulted in that??

  11843. US is rushing more Bradleys and Strykers and more Javelins/ammo announced yesterday. Germany may run out, UK may run out, but US has $800B a year budget and has enough surplus everything to donate an entire Army, Navy, and Air Force without affecting its security one bit. Biden and the Democrats are not going to let Ukraine lose simply because it ran out of stuff; Russia is going to have to really prioritize the killing/capture of Ukrainian manpower; ghastly as it seems, but human beings are the one thing Biden cannot send from the US.
    1
  11844. The day they hired a bunch of design people away from BMW , Audi, and Mercedes. "Korean" design language just didn't look very appealing to American eyes. Similar to the problem French makers have; go look at a 2023 Renault or Peugeot. Interior and exterior just doesn't "hook" us. Prior to 2015, no one anywhere saw a HyunKiaGen and thought "that looks sharp!". The 2015 Optima shattered the myth. They still have bottom-feeder engines, but with the shift to EVs that will hurt them less going forward.

  11845. "...When He broke the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, "Come." And another, a red horse, went out; and to him who sat on it, it was granted to take peace from Earth, and that men would slay one another; and a great sword was given to him."
    1
  11846. If the past week is any indication, this offensive will be over in about two weeks. Ukraine (using Leopard2's, Bradley's, MRAPs,----their BEST stuff) attacked along multiple axes of advance with very little artillery preparatory bombardment (they don't have enough), and no air cover (they don't have enough). They were destroyed 15km away from Russia's FIRST defensive line. Biden yesterday said "...we've done everything we can..." ; already distancing himself from the inevitable outcome.
    1
  11847. Literally no one in the West is pushing the "gaining ground" propaganda anymore. Everyone is planning how to keep Ukraine from being pummeled by the air over the Winter, and trying to figure out how to prevent a million Russian soldiers from swamping the place in '24.

  11848. Crimean citizens posting all over now; fire is out. Ya, whatever...

  11849. Algeria just told France "no" for overflights to attack Niger. Algeria is one of France's oldest vassal States. 30 years ago that never happens; the obedient pup would never refuse its master. Today, the pup is mature and just realizing it has fangs....

  11854. Well, I was hoping Iran would hold back because they know Israel and US would love to be able to respond. I assume they took this long to move everything associated with their nuke program under a mountain. Gas going to $15 a gallon, eggs going to $20 a dozen. Thanks Joe Biden for unleashing the Dogs of War upon the entire World.

  11855. I really think Russian strategy is just wait for Biden to lose. Its that simple.

  11856. The most interesting thing you said was how the the Greeks considered "blonde" people as distinct on their own (and separate from themselves). Just proves to me (yet again) that all people survey the world from their own perspective. In my opinion, Europe is still to this day the place you are most likely to see the greatest diversity of human physical traits.

  11857. They better dig deep, when the steamroller comes maybe they'll just be covered not crushed, and they can dig themselves out to live to be old men. If they stand and fight whats coming, you'll never see most of them again

  11859. If you look at the battle map in Zaporizhzhia on June 6th and one today, it hasn't changed in the least; maybe depending on who you believe you could enlarge the Ukraine colored area by 1km to the South in a couple spots, but that is it. In that location, the Leopard and Bradley massacre is now in the history books under the word "Failure"; even CNN has stopped trying to lie about Zaporizhzhia. Bakhmut is now the spot----maybe it was always Ukraine's real target? Doubtful, as the Western tanks were in Zaporizhzhia---that is where Ukrained wanted to "shock the world". Oh well, Bakhmut it is then.

  11863. 31,000 "kia" , means they didn't pay benefits for the other 470,000 lost. So where's all that money? AFU starting to look like Somali Warlord Army

  11864. NATO and Russia both driving 100mph at each other, each daring the other to be the first to turn away.... What really annoys me is that our "elite" leaders never even bothered to ask us if we wanted this "game of chicken" with our own lives at stake...

  11867. Perfect example of nationalism run amok: Two men who have looked the same, sounded the same, and thought the same for the past thousand years, yet somehow Zelensky, Blinken, and Nuland got them to want to kill each other.

  11870. that money is mostly to pay salaries and keep them afloat while they have no economy.

  11871. Another mil-blogger extrapolated the current lines and Russia's rate of advance since November 7th out to the end of 2024. By then, they'll have taken pretty much all the remaining areas of the annexed territories. They say they want to end the SMO by 2025, and they always planned for a 30 month or so war so that lines up logically.
    1
  11872. As long as Russia wins, their lives were not given for the Motherland in vain. Their names will be on monuments, and old men will salute them in 2063 during the Victory over NATO Day parade. A much better fate than what awaits Zelensky...
    1
  11873. At this point, anyone who says "Ukraine can win if we just give them more weapons" needs a mental health intervention... I mean the F-16s lasted what, one week before it became obvious that everything we said about them and their use was 100% correct?
    1
  11874. God has already blessed the Russian soldiers. They are the ones fighting against EU liberalism and Godlessness.

  11875. At this point the banks are going to continue the war just to get their money back, since the governments that funded it two years ago are all collapsing. JP Morgan, Citibank, Barclay's, BNP all will have their own contract armies...

  11876. The mind struggles: $93K and you don't even get leather seats, and the interior lower doors are hard plastic----like a Kia. Yukon Denali shits all over this in every objective way and even a base 'Slade makes this seem like you fell and hit your head before you leased it.
    1
  11877. Back in February there was a report Zelensky asked Biden for an old US battleship to be towed to Odessa and beached. It could then use its huge cannons to shell a large part of the annexed areas. Biden told him "no, there is no 16 inch ammunition in existence and we aren't going to make some just to try that". 🙂

  11881. Suddenly "off-roading" is more popular (judging by car sales) than it has been the entire previous history of the automobile. My guess is 99% of off-road vehicles never go more "off-road" than the driveway. NONE of what you or the other people in this video are doing looks like actual, you know, FUN. It looks like isht I'd be grumbling about having to do on a Saturday... Oh, and WHERE THE HELL DO PEOPLE DO #2 OUT THERE IN THE WOODS??? No wonder I never see any women in any of these vehicles...

I remember grown men giggling like little girls in the theater when this scene ended...

  11889. There goes Macron's grande plan of becoming the next Bonaparte. He wanted to take on Russia and thereby fill the vacuum in NATO left by the United States; who is clearly on a trend to back out of that leading role in future years. It actually was a good idea; France, more than Germany or Britain has the breadth of military industry to fill that gap...they build good missiles, tanks, artillery, planes, and submarines. Neither Germany nor Britain can do all of that. Macron's mistake is he never got the backing of The People to embark on this grandiose plan.
    1
  11890. This is Prigozhin vs. the "elites" and this was going to happen no matter what (I guessed after the war was over though). Just last week Putin sided with Shoigu that Wagner must come under Army control (the right decision). Putin chose the "elites" and this is what has set Prigozhin off. Putin is no fool; he knows that once the war is over he cannot have an independent force of 30K to 40K battle-hardened shock troops just sitting around with nothing to do and not under Army jurisdiction. He made a choice, and in doing so gave Prigozhin one: fold your army into the military or be destroyed. Prigozhin just chose....and my guess is Putin already had a "cleanup crew" and plan in place for exactly this situation should it be necessary.
    1
  11891. LOL, even Russian soldiers get annoyed with "haters".... 🙂
    1
  11892. All week in US media endless propaganda about Ukraine's 82nd Brigade being "elite" and "ridiculously powerful". By August 31st, this brigade will be shattered; the ground littered with its vehicles, UK embarrassed by the sight of its Challenger on a railcar in Mariupol headed to "Trophy Square" near Moscow, and Biden fumbling and bumbling trying to get the Abrams there as fast as possible.

  11893. Tesla gets away with Pep Boys quality steering wheels, zip ties on control arms, and dashboards made from 1970's era kitchen countertop material, so I don't want to hear quality criticism of the Big Three if you aren't going to hold Tesla to the same standard. The "they are a startup" excuse expired five years ago.

  11901. The ink not even dry on the $61B and here Zelensky (no surprise to anyone) begging for more. A single Patriot system is $1.4B dollars; add in a couple hundred missiles (not much when Ukraine fires off 30 to 60 every air raid), and call it an even TWO BILLION. Each. By contrast, Russia has put over 50 (FIFTY!!) Pantsir-S1 systems in Crimea to protect the bridge and their bases. An area less than 1/20th the size of Ukraine, has over 600 anti-air missiles at the ready. That is why over the past year at least 70 storm shadows have been fired at that bridge and it still stands. Never start a war if you don't have your own MIC.

  11907. Really trying to understand just who the fucc in the US/UK Capitals has really decided to play "chicken" with all our lives over GDF'ing Ukraine. A country with ZERO historical connection to either the US or UK. Even if they just want to see if Putin blinks first, they are causing MAJOR anxiety all over the world. Putin didn't invade Brazil; he sent the Russian Army in to prevent NATO from taking over Ukraine and putting missiles and warships on his border. NATO is hostile to Russia; forget this "defensive only" garbage.
    1
  11908. You are right, but Dima means active participation ; US troops, US/UK no-fly zone, it won't be "NATO" as Germany, Italy, and the rest will never join, but US/UK/Poland will. However it'll never happen as Biden cannot start a war without Congressional Authorization and two months before an election you think he's going to go to Congress and argue why American lives should be spent? Keep dreaming...
    1
  11909. I realized a month ago that what we get in the main US media is really one-sided about this war. They don't flat out lie, but they don't bother to check things or include things that look good for Russia. A lot of Ameircans are realizing over the past couple of months that no, Russia isn't losing "200,000 men" and the war, Russia is actually winning. The Abrams tanks aren't coming for a year; 50 Leopards and 20 Challengers may win a few battles, but ain't gonna change a ** thing about the outcome.

  11917. Zelensky thinks he is worth WW3. Surprised?

  11918. I'll never understand how the average Ukrainian man could really have thought it was a good idea to try to fight Russia over what really, truly and honestly mostly was going to benefit the United States and United Kingdom (along with NATO in general). The average Ukrainian knows full well Novorossiya and Crimea is 80% Russian-speaking people that identify Russian----its no surprise to them. HOW would the Istanbul Agreement, have hurt the average Ukrainian citizen??? Lands that they weren't using went away, people they didn't know went away, and they could not become a NATO Forward Operating Base in the future. SO FLIPPIN WHAT? They've never been a NATO FOB so what "loss" is there by giving that up? The regions that are now "Russia" are just moving the border of Russia a little closer; their entire lives Russia is just a few hour road trip away. HOW WOULD THEIR LIVES HAVE CHANGED? This "war" was by, for, and about the elites in the EU, US, and Zelensky Nationalist Government. THEY are the only ones who really had anything to gain.

  11920. I am 49, raised in the 80s at the peak of the Cold War and 💯 behind NATO all my life. No longer. I will only vote for US Presidents who are against warmongering, regime change, and trying to rule the world by force.

  11924. What Russians "sense" is they heard Vicky Nuland on CNN last week admitting that "....we wanted a Westernized Russia, that was more European...". The Russian people now realize what Putin was telling them all along was true; the West (US/UK) wants them to be like a giant version of Belgium. Nice and compliant... Something really wrong is going on.
    1
  11925. Ahh, the latest "sky is falling" BS "news" from the UK and SK "intelligence" services. Same people that gave us "shovels" and "running out of missiles". Next month it will be "RU has hired aliens from Mars to help fight in Ukraine"

  11927. Didn't know this was still in production. This would be a great pick up certified in a couple years. 2.0T that over the years has had no Mercedes piston-cracking, no BMW coolant leaks, no Audi valve buildiup nightmares. A bulletproof ZF trans. Butter soft leather and real wood; things you can't even get in most rivals at this price or in ANY EV.

  11932. Agreed. How soon until a Ukrainian officer says "why the hell we killing each other for NATO? You were my cousin 2 years ago and now we killing each other so NATO can use my land to threaten you? What sense does that make?"

  11934. Russia produces 13% of the world's oil and petroleum products, THIRD largest single producer on earth. Imagine if that supply disappeared overnight like Biden and Blinken wanted it to. The Happy Meal for your kid would cost $30 and you, your spouse, and all the kids would be sleeping in a single room right now with a cheap space heater from Wal Mart because heating the whole house would cost $800 a month.

  11935. Iran's drones were over friendly or neutral countries when they were shot down. If NATO sends their planes over Ukraine to shoot down the drones, they themselves will be shot down. A little different, eh?
    1
  11936. The key question is what will France do when Russia drops an Iskander on them. Just like the 70 FFL they blew up a month ago; Russia will not hesitate to take them out. We all know that; what we don't know is what France will do in return now that these troops are "officially" there.

  11937. Putin told you they were Nazi's 18 months ago. Even the US Congress in 2015 specifically exempted Azov from the aid they were approving. Why? They are Nazi's.

  11938. For now they are going to help throw AFU out of Kursk. After that, who knows? Maybe they'll get bored and decide to take Kharkiv or Kiev....

  11939. Why wait with all these little incremental "steps"? Two years of escalation and if anything Ukraine is worse off than better. Do NATO leaders have a plan or just doing things hoping for the best?
    1
  11940. LOL. Other media already reported an hour ago that Surovikin was interrogated and has already been released. Based on its track record over the past 15 months, who will bet me $1000 that tomorrow morning CNN will report he's been released, or not report anything about him at all? 🙂
    1
  11941. Iran has shown themselves to be quite astute at playing the "Game of Thrones" by their rules, not those of the United States. A direct missile strike on Israeli military bases would be precisely what Israel and US want Iran to do; it would give them free hand to take out Bushehr and Natanz" Let's see if Iran has more brains than balls.....unlike Ukraine that has more balls than brains"

  11943. A 20 year old Land Cruiser would do just as well or better than either of these. Then again, a 20 year old Land Cruiser costs about $40K so that actually makes sense in a way...
    1
  11944. Russia put over 100 missiles into Ukraine two days ago and the only story I've seen about the results was the wipeout of the Su-24 base where Storm Shadows were originating from. Where did the other 80 missiles hit??

  11945. Artillery wins wars. As true in 1453 at Constantinople as it is today in Ukraine.

  11946. What more we need to know?Zelensky wants us to bomb his list of targets (or give him the means to do so).
    1
  11947. $300B and all NATO has done is delay what was inevitable. RU has battled virtually all of NATOs best weaponry and defeated them, their tactics in 2024 an example of ground war mastery, their missile dominance unmitigated. Russia is stronger than ever, Putin is stronger than ever, Biden is the greatest failure in US foreign policy since Vietnam
    1
  11948. Well, there are now more AFU women in the trenches near Bakhmut than men, so unless their women are Nazis at the same rate, RU is doing well.

  11950.  @JH-mt3pp  Exactly the point. Not sure how it spawned 20 replies!! The faster you go, the less the hybrid matters. Higher insurance and 42 mpg = Camry at 35 mpg and Camry is a bigger much more comfy car! Simple!

  11951. I see many kids, teens, old ladies etc.also being hit by these and can't help but think: "Israel got 10 of it's enemies, but created 10,000 new ones in doing so..."
    1
  11952. Can fire the gun too? Even if the range is only 10km, being 10 kilometers away is MUCH better than being inside the tank! To escort infantry carriers during an assault, a remote controlled tank like this is all you'd need.

  11957. Found the vids on thothub; about average for the "mature" genre....I've see a lot better, but I've also seen a lot worse. I'd put her on the same level as Stormy (current Stormy, not 15 years ago Stormy).

  11960. S-300 can also be used against ground targets like buildings.
    1
  11961. Washington Post had a big article about a month ago that acknowledged a lot of this. Basically, the Biden Administration and their Military advisors judged Ukraine's chances last summer to be "50/50 at best". On CNN they'd say "all is well" but behind the scenes they knew AFU was likely to fail. However, Biden and NATO promised to help, so help they did. Live with the result. However, the problem is what to do now. Even Biden doesn't want to give another $300B to $600B so Zelensky can "try again"; but they can't just turn it off and watch Russia rampage in an election year. So, just enough for stalemate it is.

  11963. Putin just announced the war can end if Ukraine accepts Novorossiya and no NATO membership. They can keep Odessa, Kharkiv, etc. just not be in NATO. Will those controlling Biden allow him to accept?

  11964. Ukraine war is DEM policy to regime change Ukraine into a version of Belgium and Neocons who long wanted to put down Putin. Trump not interested in either of those things so he will end the war.

  11967. Abrams has only been tested against militia and poor farmers, never against an equal opponent. It is 40 years of talk, bluster and hype by General Dynamics. For the past 20 years the Leopard 2 was considered to be superior to the Abrams and the Leopard 2 has been exposed as no better than a T-64. The Myth will be shattered in a few months...

  11968. Ahh, yet another sea change in our society and culture thanks to California. Their liberal deep thinkers made theft no longer illegal, so now everyone steals. People in other States see this, now everyone steals there too. In a few years, the whole country is taught to steal and now stores everywhere have to lock everything up. California..... gift that keeps on giving.

  11969. So during the Tucker Carlson interview, Putin was telling the truth about this?? If Putin was truthful about this, he may have been truthful about other things he said too. No wonder the West tried to destroy Carlson to prevent the interview...

  11970. can three "Alphas" all live in the same pack??

  11971. Biden politicized something that shouldn't be politicized. During the May Day celebration, Putin did not bring up Ukraine even once; the celebration is solely for a Victory from 80 years ago. Only the feeble-minded Biden doesn't realize this...
    1
  11972. Yes. Its time for Russia to put a "no fly zone" over Ukraine. Long past time actually. Ukraine has 80 old planes; its only the SAMs Russia need worry about and then only the ones capable of high-altitude defense. It will cost them planes no doubt, but they have 1500 combat aircraft so even if it costs 100 planes to achieve it is worth it.
    1
  11973. Biden cannot allow Ukraine to lose without fully supporting them. His political future is irrevocably tied to Ukraine.
    1
  11974. Ukraine Intelligence?? Hahahaha! Just like the POW plane? They have to show proof-----no way we take their word for it.
    1
  11975. Fresh forces sent in, eh? NOW, we know why Zaluzhny was fired; Zelensky wanted him to feed the grinder and he refused. So Syrsky gets the job and in they go. Outgunned 10 to 1, in they go never to emerge. No wonder 700,000 of their citizens who could fight will never go back.

  11976. When its over, we will have the only economy on earth and we'll all get rich like last time.

  11979. The vast majority of Americans don't know that both Anthony Blinken and Vicki Nuland, the "architects" of Biden's Ukraine policy, have parental lineage to *Ukraine*. They are not just some random people that showed up 3 years ago and thought "oh, Ukraine is a democracy and we should help them". Nuland speaks RUSSIAN.....they are both complicit...virtually part of Zelensky's Cabinet.

  11984. NATO is terrified....no longer any doubt. They didn't see this coming and have no ready solution. NK immune to sanctions, immune to being bought off, immune to fear of US regime change. They can stand under China's shadow talk isht all day long, just as Ukraine does under US' shadow....
    1
  11985. The Wall Street Journal reported yesterday that Macron has assured Biden that France won't need the US to come into Ukraine to save French forces if they are attacked by Russia (which, of course, they will be). Macron is basically saying "we can handle the Bear all by ourselves". Ok, then....

  11986. US and NATO won't allow it. They want that chance to put nuclear missiles in Ukraine.

  11994. When in history has a foreign invasion caused the locals to immediately turn on their own government?? Never. The exact opposite happens. When Hitler began bombing London, the Brits didn't try to throw out Churchill; they quadrupled their resolve to fight. Hitler sent two million into Russia in 1941 and nobody went to Stalin and said "you're the problem!" It is almost as if all the historical knowledge of the West just evaporated the past 20 years as the WW2 generation passed away. Our leaders now are in their late 30s and 40s----born or raised AFTER the Cold War. They don't seem to have been taught anything..."

  11995. Strange. When US accuses Iran or NK of supplying arms to Russia, there's always a big PowerPoint with nice clear photos to back it up. Here, nothing but a diplomat's word... Very strange. Wonder why the difference?

  12004. Add the Swedish CV-90 (so called "best IFV in the world") to the seemingly endless tally of Western equipment burned down by Russia. Two hit yesterday trying to rush a Storm-Z squad. Hit by what you ask? An RPG7. Yes, the 60 year old weapon designed to penetrate tanks, now can easily penetrate any aspect of any IFV or APC. You can tell the Russians that shot them are experienced; they waited until the CV-90s were 50m away and hit them both in the side. The drone hovered for over a minute and no one got out of either. You know what tandem shaped-charge warheads do to the flesh of humans...
    1
  12005. Russia has blow up 75 years of myth in NATO superiority; for 40 years I believed any US jet was far superior to any Russian one. I no longer believe that now after what Russia has done to all our best tech the past year. I truly believe that in a real war, full of all the things you can't simulate, the Su-35 and Su-57 would fight the F-22 and F-35 to a stalemate.

  12006. Those of you with the power line comments are not from Texas. Here we have power lines running through the greenbelt between subdivisions of homes from 1200 sq ft. to 6000 sq ft. or more. That is how it is. I'd buy a tiny home if it were just me; why would I need more than that?
    1
  12007. No one even knows how many D-20 and D-30 howitzers Russia has. "Many thousands" is all most Western estimates say. Suffice to say with a supply train of ten million rounds backing up their own production, any city, no matter how large, that is in their way will be reduced to ruins. Guaranteed. Which is exactly how I expected Russia to fight all along as thats how they won in 1943. They didn't expect to have to do it this way so thats why it has taken so long....they had to get prepared logistically. A year of producing guns and ammo, a new rail line to Melitopol, now massive stock of shells from NK. They are ready.
    1
  12008. Unless Russia steamrolls into Kyiv, this war will not end before the US 2024 election. Biden cannot afford ANY kind of negotiated settlement where Putin is in a commanding negotiating position. The only negotiation Biden would accept would be a humiliated Russian delegation on the deck USS Missouri for all the world to see. That's as likely as the alien lizard men coming out of Area 51 and introducing themselves. The only way to end it otherwise is to vote out Joe Biden.

  12010. Remember 9 months ago some "Rebels" armed with US Humvees and weapons given to them by Zelensky made a border crossing and shot up some bored Russian border guards? Then the Army showed up and wiped them all out to a man?? Biden excoriated Zelensky for the PR disaster of Humveess destroyed on Russian soil when those weapons were not authorized to be there. Never happened again.....until today..."

  12015. 60 years ago, public housing was neat, well maintained, and safe. The main reason? Unmarried people were not allowed; you had to be a married intact family to qualify. Most were intact families on hard times, and eventually daddy got a better job and they moved out never to return. Liberals (mostly from California) attacked this policy in the early 1960s as "Religious Discrimination" against unmarried people. They were trying to open public housing to anyone with a child who was poor; not just married couples and they felt making women get married was putting Christian values on a public service. They won. By the 1970s, public housing was a terror-filled nightmare of single mothers, poverty and violence since there were no dads around to keep order. This is all fact----you can go look it up whenever you wish. White liberals destroyed the two-parent home model to carve out space for LGBTQ families; the unintentional side effect was to vastly increase the number of single-parent homes (99% woman as the head). We ALL now know what a disaster this has been, especially for AA families. AA's have 1/10th the wealth of Whites; when AA's were mostly married, two adults could weather the economic storms better than one---giving the family resiliency. Whites, generally having more wealth and opportunity, could recover from economic hardship better so their families were not destroyed to the same degree as an AA family. With only a female as the head of these new households, there was no chance for AA children born into poverty. We now all suffer under the whirlwind of violence and hopelessness these decisions made decades ago have produced. AAs must turn their backs on this "no marriage" model and return to the strong, two-parent homes they had all through Slavery and Reconstruction. TWO are stronger than ONE. It must be done or this Apocalypse will never end.

  12018. Nahh, this is Prigozhin vs. the "elites" and this was going to happen no matter what (I guessed after the war was over though). Just last week Putin sided with Shoigu that Wagner must come under Army control (the right decision). Putin chose the "elites" and this is what has set Prigozhin off. Putin is no fool; he knows that once the war is over he cannot have an independent force of 30K to 40K battle-hardened shock troops just sitting around with nothing to do and not under Army jurisdiction. He made a choice, and in doing so gave Prigozhin one: fold your army into the military or be destroyed. Prigozhin just chose....

  12019. There is nothing Modi can say to Napolensky that Zaluzhzhny, France, Germany, the Pope, South Africa, Hungary, China, and probably a dozen more nations have not already said. Volodymyr is in "Messianic Mode" now; he gathers virtually all Ukraine's remaining offensive power north of Sumy, leaving the south undefended (as even the blind can see). His goal is to hurl his legions into Russia proper for a cataclysmic battle that will decide the fate of Ukraine (and himself). Modi should probably just focus on saying goodbye...."

  12021. 60 years of Globalized trade can't be stopped (or even slowed) in just two years; its like trying to stop the Titanic in 100 feet. Sure, in maybe 5 years you will see the effects of restrictions done today, but in every single one of those five years Russia will be working on alternatives. Even if you can successfully choke the flow of newer equipment; they'll just use older stuff stripped out of products from a decade ago. A 10 year old GPS chip may not be as accurate as a new one, but who cares? Russia will just add more high-explosive to the warhead to make up for the 10-meter loss of accuracy. Like Obama said in 2015: "Russia has escalatory dominance, so arming Ukraine is a waste of time, leading inevitably to their destruction..."

  12022. No. Putin don't need anything more than guided bombs to deal with Ukraine. As long as NATO don't send their armies against Russia directly, there will never be a nuke."

  12023. The people living in Crimea and Novorossiya need to be more vocal and publicize who they are, why they voted to remain with Russia, and counter the West propaganda that they don't exist. I can certainly understand their "who TF are you that we need to respond to you??" attitude, if Mexico invaded California and said they did it because the people there are Mexican, the Californians probably would not care to try to justify their presence to Mexico. HOWEVER, this war gets nastier by the day, and if the West see's 100,000 people in those lands all saying "WE ARE RUSSIA!", they will have a hard time not looking like the conquerors here instead of the saviors.

  12026. Most Westerners assume "NATO" is this big happy family that always acts in mutually beneficial ways. That couldn't be further from the truth. Many are historical rivals; they only come together to protect themselves from the Bear. Otherwise, they act in their own interests most of the time. Like Turkey or Hungary have recently, or even Italy just today. Yesterday that idiot Macron shot off his mouth about "NATO troops" and today at least ten NATO countries flatly said "nope!". Italy in particular was forceful as they know what it means to attack Russia. Italy sent a huge army into Russia in 1942 in support of their ally, Germany. 235,000 Italian troops fought at Stalingrad but the Red Army destroyed them almost to a man. Italy will NEVER in a thousand years send an army to Russia again.
    1
  12027. Even after almost two years and the open knowledge of Western propaganda and lies, we STILL get these "Ukraine shoots down 100 of 80 missiles fired by Russia" news reports. The ONLY time the Western media acknowledges Russia hit its target is when they can't suppress it; like when Russia took out the Ukrainian officers having a bbq with an Iskander last month (and Zelensky said Ukraine will "investigate" how Russia knew so much about their location and movements). Otherwise its BAU...."every missile Russia fired was shot down or missed"... 😂😂😂 After this war is over, some Western editors gonna have some serious explaining to do in order to restore the credibility lost over the past two years.

  12028. How is this guy a "traitor"? The United States is not at war with Russia. No US lives are put at risk (if they are, they are somewhere they are not supposed to be). He betrayed no one that he took an Oath to Defend. Ukraine means as much to me personally as Haiti. Punishment for breaking the law, fine. However that "traitor" talk is BS.

  12029. Ugghhh has anyone see the news from Kursk over the past 24 hours?? Let's just say if the roles were reversed, Telegraph wouldn't be talking about naval exercises....

  12030. LOL. CNN calls them "sabotage agents" instead of what they really are: terrorists. Remember those Al Queda "sabotage agents" running around the world 20 years ago? Gotta love CNN... 🙂

  12031. I love this truck and everything it stands for. To me, it is the perfect counter to the Progressive Left Climate dogma we've been forced to accept: "oh you wanna save the Earth? OK, here's an 8000 lb, electron-guzzling monstrosity. Save this, pencil-neck." It is everything liberals hate about the United States, updated for the EV Era.

  12032. Yesterday the State Department said "it is running out of patience with Maduro". So, who is joining up for the invasion of Caracas to "preserve democracy"? I assume 90% Biden voters in the first echelon?"

  12035. I have always really liked the CLA-class refresh from 2020. I test drove a CLA35 AMG and it was very, very sporty but just "soft" enough to be more appealing as a daily (the CLA45 is badass but so hard-core; the suspension, the brakes, the tires all contribute to "M" level running costs for only 1 sec. to 60 improvement). I could live with the 250 but I'd always kick myself for not getting the 35 AMG. Also, these do no depreciate that much, esp. the AMG ones are holding their value quite well (a 2021 is still almost $40K).
    1
  12036. US said no, UK said no, Poland said "we have nothing left to give", Finland said " what we have is for our own defense". The truth is out. 2+ years of lies can no longer be hidden; the Bear is almost done with Ukraine, an no the United States is not going to war with Russia to save them...."
    1
  12037. This doesn't pass the "smell test" at all. Too many coincidences are not a coincidence. When Nalvany's death was announced, EVERY Western Media outlet reported it as FACT immediately. Ask yourself, over the course of this war when has that EVER happened? Any "big news" reported by Russia is ALWAYS qualified when BBC/CNN reports it, but not this time. Why were they so sure it was true when the ONLY source was Russia??? Yeah.....I can tell.....you don't like the smell of it either...

  12038. Lol. Just a week ago all these Western warmongers saying "Putin has done nothing after Kursk, why is their no response?" Our leaders suck so badly they make me embarrassed to be a citizen of NATO...."

  12048. Ukraine agreed NOT to use NATO weapons to attack inside Russia, remember?

  12049. The encroachment of NATO countries means land based strategic missiles can be physically closer and closer to Russia, giving them less time to detect/react to a nuclear first strike by NATO. You and I may not think this is a rational fear, but we are not Russian.

  12053. Wow, $118K and you still see hard plastic on the lower door. I think today in order to have leather on the ENTIRE door, you have to be in a Bentley at a minimum. 10 years ago a $120K Jag got you leather (or carpet) on the entire door.

  12054. That entire ring of "red" around Bakhmut is littered with Russian howitzers, rocket launchers and artillery of every kind, with the skies above filled with Orlan drones watching over all. Prigozhin WANTS Ukraine to be stupid enough to try to re-take Bakhmut. We shall soon see if Zelensky is stupid or smart...

  12059. "The Biden administration has quietly given Ukraine permission to strike inside Russia — solely near the area of Kharkiv — using U.S.-provided weapons, three U.S. officials and two other people familiar with the move said Thursday, a major reversal that will help Ukraine to better defend its second-largest city." May 30, 2024 NATO changed their ROE! Fine I guess, but 2+ years RU has been playing by NATO's rules and, because NATO is losing, they changed their rules. There are now Strykers, Bradleys, and MaxxPros inside Russia proper , this was unthinkable a week ago, which is why the buildup raised no alarm! RU was caught off guard, ok. Their error was not realizing NATO was willing to risk changing the ROE!

  12060. I bet if you put it to popular vote, aid to Ukraine would fail miserably. The average Joe or Jane struggling with inflation doesnt care how much land is "Russia" or "Ukraine". This is just elite politicians on both sides doing what is best for themselves not us little people citizens

  12061. Zelensky again this week refused peace talks with Russia. NATO wants to talk but Zelensky wont. They have to starve him of weapons.

  12068. Prigozhin will rebuild Wagner with Belorussian citizens (and whatever Russians go with him). They'll march to Kiev and take it with ease since all of Ukraine's NATO-trained combat power is engaged in the South. Once the war is won, he will go before Putin, hand him Ukraine and ask for forgiveness. Putin will accept his apology, then have him killed.
    1
  12069. True. Even Biden, Johnson, Scholz, Macron, Stoltenberg all of them thought the same. Yet, they are our "leaders' and we know as much as they do?? Unsettling, eh?
    1
  12070. You know both sides only release video of themselves if it shows them winning, right? Western Media almost never shows Russian MoD video; it took them a week to show the video of RU victories in Artemovsk and Avdeevka (and that was only because they had no choice). The tide is turning...

  12072. The more the war goes Russia's way, it seems the more aggressive the Google censorship becomes. Since 2024 began with that big New Years missile strike, there have been dozens of news reports of Russian success but if we comment on them favorably, our comment gets deleted. I'm surprised they even allow channels like this at all...

  12076. Wait, didn't the White House tell US Media back in December that Russia had "lost up to 200,000" in the war so far? Now, Kirby tells us they've lost another 100,000 since then?? The Biden Admin. must really think Americans are stupid. According to them, Russia has now lost more soldiers than they've even deployed so far in the entire war! 🙂

  12077. ...as expected, Zelensky asked for more money

  12078. You could almost frame this as the US and UK desiring to denude the entirety of Ukraine of all life and that would not be an unreasonable assumption. How else would one view being goaded into an unwinnable war where you are exterminated completely? Like that was the plan all along....

  12079. Crazy to think I built a model of this thing in 1980 when I was 8; mine looked just like that one, same color, fuel tanks, etc. I can't describe to all you born after what it was like. General Dynamics built what to us in 1980 was a spaceship. It is still a beautiful plane; so sad to see it defiled by being given to this beggar nation run by a comedian and a few nationalist Azov types....."

  12081. The nuke threat is just there to keep the United States and its love of "regime change" at bay. Just like North Korea has done and Iran is doing; nukes "immunize" a country from the disease that is US aggression. Why half the world wants a nuke to protect itself from the United States?? "the US has been at peace for only 16 of its 242 years as a nation." --- Pres. Jimmy Carter.

  12082. So Zelenskys big "Victory Plan" is: US/UK enter the war with ground troops, air forces , and beats Russia for Ukraine. Great plan but could have just done that 3 years ago, right??

  12083. Because the GV80 is built like a Hyundai/Kia and its competitors aren't??
    1
  12084. The German officers caught discussing how Germany could attack the Kerch bridge without anyone knowing it was them was surprising but not shocking. Everyone knows NATO has been hiding behind Ukraine for two years. What was most interesting was they revealed that UK and France have no more Storm Shadow / SCALP to give; they are all out. That's why so much pressure on Scholz to give Taurus missile, and so much pressure on us to forget our own border and throw another $60B down the drain. Russia has demilitarized NATO.

  12085. 311hp/280tq is matched or exceed by virtually every Euro sport sedan on Earth at the moment-----in their FOUR cylinder engines----with 35 mpg. That's not going to get it done. Sure, this will be running smoothly in 2035 but that doesn't sell in 2020. Put the V8 from the RC-F in here and then let's talk. Until then, no sale.
    1
  12086. I don't know if they are buying them from Iran or North Korea (or both), but Russia CLEARLY has more Iskanders to use than ever before. I saw one fired at a single Ukrainian tank a couple weeks ago. Only the United States is wealthy enough to fire $1M missile at a single tank..... Something has changed; if RU has that many cheap Iskanders now......I mean those things are 1000kg of HE hitting at Mach 6 with 10m accuracy...."

  12089. I have a cheap 50 year old rent house with a fireplace just next to the kitchen, when I go down into the basement there is an entire brick enclosure going all the way to the roof and terminates in a chimney of course. The entire house could fall down around it and this column with the fireplace would still be standing. Little $150K house built better than this $1M McMansion.

  12097. Russia is prioritizing every day the hunting down of Storm Shadow missiles and the Su-24s that can carry them. It is so bad, Ukraine pilots have to take off and go to Poland after each mission, and stay there until the missiles hit. That is the only way they can escape destruction. The day the F-16s show up, 100 Kinzhals and 30 Su-27s will be sent to eliminate them.

  12106. $56K when the Alfa Romeo dealer will sell you a Stelvio for $10K off MSRP? The Stelvio has more power, better handling, LED everywhere and a touchscreen. Don't even try it on "Honda engine"; Alfa 2.0T in use since 2016 and no crazy issues, transmission is ZF, best on earth. The RDX is a great car; I have a 2013 and I love it. However, if I'm replacing it I'm going Stelvio....

  12107. I had a 13 year old LX 470 with 140K miles and not one rubber strip, chrome trim, leather surface, button, switch or stalk was broken or inoperable or showed any sign of wear. It honestly was so reliable it was boring, and life is too short to spend 20 years driving the same car. I now drive a Jag F-Pace S and I don't care if it only lasts 10 years; ONE day carving through life in this thing is more fun than a MONTH of driving a LX. If you are 75 or older, the LX 570 is for you.

  12110. This channel should research the US Aegis Ashore missile system, research the US Navy plans for Crimean Naval Bases which were halted in 2019. Research them and come back with an episode that shows why Russia, could objectively interpret Ukraine membership in NATO as an act of "aggression". Brave enough to look through the glass which renders the world as Putin sees it? Fear the perspective you might gain which may weaken your resolve that you are right?

  12118. The panic in Zelenskys voice and the contradictory words of NATO leaders confirm the West is caught off guard. The US!! had to publicly ask South Korea for proof before responding, proving the CIA is blind in Russia and NK. They really have no idea what to do....

  12119. I wonder how they feel seeing the vids yesterday of Ukrainian women laying shattered in a trench alongside the men?

  12120. Iran has made it clear through EU diplomatic channels that if US attacks their territory, they will attack any US asset in the ME. This is not bombing a remote corner of Iraq, this is starting a war and that absolutely would be a mistake.
    1
  12121. So far Russia has not done anything different than it has for 2+ years. Even after this clear NATO escalation, no change on their side. You can be sure that their will be a change though. I shudder to think what Russia is going to do to Ukraine in response...."

  12122. WOW! Here in the United States, drunk drivers that kill people, armed robbers, attempted murder/manslaughter defendants, rarely get 32 months in prison....." UK must be serious."

  12123. Even applying the appropriate "pro-West" discount to this story, it could all be 100% correct and there would still be no reason imho for any Western nation to be concerned about it. For it is none of their business. Wagner could be the Legion of the Anti-Christ himself and they would still be unable to inflict as much pain, suffering, malice and villainy upon the people of those countries than the Nordic Europeans have. NATO has no moral high ground here; it would take a thousand years of Wagner's worst for the "moral ledger" to even out with the West...
    1
  12124. ? That's what happens to POWs. You get tortured until you give up the information. Just like we do at Guantanamo. Stop crying about it; that is war and its the same everywhere for everyone. You knew that when you signed up.
    1
  12125. Just the fact you asked such a question shows just how "foggy" the American media has kept its population. Yes, that's a real person. The human body is extremely fragile and even the smallest military grade weaponry easily shatters it. Back in June, when images of the massacre of Leopard 2s and Bradleys was on every channel, most CNN commenters said "well at least the NATO hardware protected all the Ukrainians, Russian equipment they would have been dead". A field of blasted, burned, and shattered vehicles and most Americans really believe no Ukrainians got hurt because they didn't see any bodies. It never occurred to them CNN edited out the imagery of Ukrainian dead that littered the field, their burned and blasted forms so ghastly even the Russian paratrooper filming it was audibly trying not to vomit. This level of cognitive dissonance could only result from decades of MSM brainwashing and propaganda.

  12126. I was shocked last night when I watched the reveal. I didn't know Toyota was going down market with the LC after all these decades. If this is priced mid $50K that is basically a 50% price cut from where it was before. Like a $35K Corvette or $50K 911. I don't think I can recall another popular vehicle that was intentionally taken down market before. If this is a sales (and profit) success it may start a trend to reverse the last 40 years of "more" with every new generation, to "lets go back to what we were when we started". I mean your basic Mustang GT is now $60K.
    1
  12127. Of course, those who espouse the "rules based order" , set aside their own "rules" when and where they wish. Just like Biden and his flip-flop on cluster munitions; its only a "war crime" if we don't need them.

  12130. Whether that specific story is true or not, the reality is there is enough evidence to already believe "talks" at some level are ongoing. DW reported Germany is pressing Zelensky to negotiate; we know the US was doing so a few weeks ago. When 2 of your 3 main sponsors are telling you "time to talk"; its only a matter of time. I'm feeling the recent accelerated pace of Russian movement since Thanksgiving is them going for as much territory as possible as they know an armistice may be near and they can use that territory to bargain with.

  12135. This dumb "war" is almost over. EU says "No" again to Zelesnky on long range missile request. That is now four times in the past three days he has been told "no" by US/EU, on long range weapons/approval. Poland said "no more to give", Finland "no more to give", Hungary just blocked EU giving Ukraine Russian money, Serbia just told EU "No, we will not sanction Russia". Netherlands made it clear "you cannot use F-16s we gave you to attack Russia." Zelensky "VIctory Plan" turning to ashes in his hands.....
    1
  12136. This is all theater----on BOTH sides. Ukraine is not worth glassing half the planet; nobody is that crazy. This is just bluster and posturing for the negotiation talks this summer. Putin doesn't want to commit the 2 million troops needed to take all of Ukraine, and NATO doesn't want all of Ukraine gone. They will meet somewhere in the middle this summer after Zaluzhzhnyi is elected President.

  12141. It is clear that Russia appears to suddenly have A LOT of Iskanders; the past month we are seeing them fall on indivdual tanks and they are double and triple-tapping HIMARS, Patriots, IRIS-Ts and AFU convoys with both cluster and HE warheads. They don't seem to be limited anymore. We've all seen the reports for months about Iranian shipments, training Russians for the Fateh-110; the North Koreans helping (to what extent nobody knows---Ukraine reported a few time the wreckage from what they thought was an Iskander was of NK origin). None of this is in dispute; if RU got the price down ( or is getting many cheap clones) to add to its production, its GGWP."

  12142. Was with you till "....might even imprison them..." (with no modifier such as "after investigation" or "if a crime was committed"). The inference, of course, being Dems could somehow imprison citizens without a crime being committed or a trial. Typical Faux Nooz BS. No wonder Faux Nooz watchers are so paranoid.....

  12143. About a year ago, UK channel ITN had a reporter somewhere near Bakhmut interviewing some RU soldiers. Halfway through the interview, three Spetznaz came into the bunker and one of them saw the Brit and looked at him like he wanted to eat him. The interviewer had to stop, move the Brit to another room and tell the Spetznaz what was going on to calm them. Eventually the Spetznaz calmed down and actually talked to the Brit (one of them still joking that he wanted to eat the Brit's liver); I'll say this: I would never want to run into men like those Spetznaz as their enemy. I'll take Storm-Z, regular RU army mechanized soldiers, etc.; but those special forces guys scare me. They are even scarier than our "Seal Team Six" type guys because I believe they were not joking when they said one of them wanted to eat the Brit reporter's liver..."

  12144. 190 Countries voted against the US and Israel at the UN. Who is the "tyrant" now??

  12145. It seems like half of the United States belongs in prison. I'm fine with that.

  12146. Navy is where UK can most throw its weight around and bully others; historically this is Britain's greatest strength. Now, if someone needed UK to show up with 50K combat troops and 1000 tanks------forget it.

  12147. Did the Ukrainian unit being fired on by their own troops fire back? Or, were they all destroyed to a man?
    1
  12148. My God. Homemade bombs and rocket launchers on pickup trucks. Just remember Lavrov gave Biden/Zelensky the final ultimatum last week and it was pretty clear: "...Kyiv regime capitulates on Russias terms....or Ukraine cease to exist as a country." Let history record Ukraine had one last chance to avoid what is coming

  12149. Any Westerner who believes Prigozhin or any Russian leader is a fool; they are masters at psy-ops and propaganda. I'm glad we are going to see this clash of arms Biden wanted so badly. I personally can't wait to watch the T-14 Armata grind the Leopard 2 and Challenger into dust. That will be fun to watch.
    1
  12150. Russia already long prepared for this, Biden is a coward for doing this just as he is on his way out
    1
  12151. Imagine Iran is where Canada is, and they just took the Port of Seattle and want the rest of Washington State, and 30 other countries are helping them. Now you feel "Russian".... They gonna fight, just like 1945, just like 1812, they will fight This is just expensive entertainment to the US; to them its "live free or die trying"

  12152. Enjoy it liberal New York!! That's what you wanted! YOU GOT IT!! You never cared when they were only in Arizona and Texas!! Eat it!

  12153. First confirmed use of FAB-3000 in Kharkiv today. Coincidence? Or a message? 🤣

  12154. US demanded SK intelligence show them as no one believes this at the moment; all those vids over the weekend were typical Ukrainian fakes. Everyone knows the Comedian is trying everything to get into NATO so NATO will beat Russia for him.

  12155. ??? A 2022 GLB 250 costs $25K brand new??? WHERE????

  12156. So strange to hear all these nasty old critters complain about each other, as if any of the lot of them are more than self-serving ingrates....

  12157. With ATACMS and Storm Shadow. Putin been holding off on retaliation for Trump , but I think he running out of patience. Someone is gonna get Oreshnik'ed soon...
    1
  12158. Youtube just got mad at me for posting a link to a Telegraph article from two weeks ago about how Ukraine's 48th Mountain is training 60,000 women to fight at the front. The link is to YouTube. 😂 No, no censorship here. Must keep the Faithful believing no matter what!
    1
  12159. Wow!! I'm VERY surprised by this. After the massive egg-in-the-face moment Ukraine and NATO took last week about the plane shoot-down, I thought for sure POW swaps would be stopped for at least a time. TBH a POW swap benefits both sides equally, so I guess Russia went ahead with the one already planned even though Ukraine killed their own men and some Russian aircrew.

  12160. When Russia was helping obliterate ISIS in Syria, DEMs loved them.

  12161. The Spring Offensive has become the Office Building Offensive
    1
  12162. Just look at what's in the aid and it answers all questions. No tanks, no bridging equipment, no SPGs, no offensive firepower of any significance other than the ATACMS. That isn't new, just longer range----Russia been shooting those down for months. Sure, some get through and do damage, but the next night RU sends twice as many Tornado-S back and hurts Ukraine 10x more. This package is to allow an infantry-heavy army to DEFEND; nothing more.

  12163. The fireworks I bought three weeks ago in Missouri were bigger than that drone....
    1
  12164. They are being trained to fight South Korea, not Ukraine....
    1
  12165. Most Americans and Brits are going to take Ukraines defeat very hard, as they believe NATO is always right and Russia just backwards barbarians. The political blame games and fireworks will be immeasurable

  12166. Two years of everyone not affiliated with AFU or Russia, reporting that casualties are about even, still the West with "Russians are taking ground but taking massive casualties", yeah so? Ukraine taking them too.

  12167. Go back 3 years and show me the quote or article where the US committed to ensure Ukraine "wins"

  12169. The cope in this comment thread is so strong, it is capable of changing the orbit of planets. 800 comments evincing the triumph of hope over reason. Last summer when the "Bradley Square" attack was shattered for all to see, 90% of CNN comments were "at least the Western vehicles protected everyone as they were blown up, as I see no bodies". Yes, yes that is the measure of just how mindless they are...
    1
  12170. $886B. Russia's 2023 military budget was $100B (up from $75B in 2022). Yet, Russia just spent the past year shooting down, jamming, deflecting, absorbing, evading, or blowing to pieces every single US weapon sent to Ukraine. The MIC is shafting the American taxpayer, and like Trump did Stormy...they are doing it "raw dog" style...
    1
  12171. YT still deleting comments.... Trump gonna fix that here real soon.

  12172. The car itself was never bad; just too "downmarket" for Maserati. I always said that car should have been the top end of Alfa Romeo; as a Maserati it was priced over a BMW 5-Series and it should not have been. However now 7 years later the world has changed. EVs with plastic steering wheels, vinyl seats, and interior trim made of recycled rubber pellets now cost as much as a Ghibli with real aluminum, leather and woven silk inside.
    1
  12173. Google is blocking tens of thousands of comments on this. Why??
    1
  12174. Yep, just like those "security guarantees" US and UK gave Ukraine 30 years ago?? TOTALLY NON-BINDING. 😂

  12175. None, really. Some here want to make it their problem is all...

  12176. Before or after they launched their Kinzhal missiles? Kinzhal alert in London today?

  12178. How do you say "Slava Rossiya" in Korean?
    1
  12179. On Saturday? Not really; they were hurled back with massive losses every time. However since yesterday they've made a lot more attacks all across the line and they've moved forward a bit in Zaporizhzhia. Zelensky calls it "slow and steady" but remember they are losing men at a frightening rate since they switched to infantry heavy tactics after the disaster at "Bradley Square".

  12180. My first THREE comments (no bad language), ALL deleted within seconds. Hahahaha!

  12181. The WOMAN shot him? He tried to stop her taking a PHONE CHARGER? Seriously? That isn't even illegal in California!!! You can steal a $900 bbq grill and this fool tried to stop someone from stealing a $10 device??? Come on now, that's just stupid.

  12182. Joe Biden won't allow peace. His political future is tied to Russia being totally defeated.

  12183. LOL, NATO about to turn Zelensky into a new Saddam Hussien. Once my lapdog; next my enemy.
    1
  12184. Any Z'er could find all my comment history on every platform going back to the times of Yahoo Messenger. You would struggle to find a person who was more dismissive, then critical of Donald Trump's Administration. KellyAnne, Spicer, the whole rogues gallery of meat-heads... Yet, here I am PROUD to pull the lever for Trump if Biden starts a war with Iran.
    1
  12185. France just wants payback for Russia booting them out of their rapacious deal in Niger, costing them a fortune. Also the truth about the strike on their foreign legion troops in Ukraine last month was especially embarrassing as Russia hit the French officers sent to retrieve the remains of the FL troops. Macron is really, REALLY mad at Putin.
    1
  12186. If "winning" is pushing 300K Russian soldiers out of Crimea and the annexed territories, you'd have to be on some nasty Meth to believe that is ever going to happen. The US Army is the only force on Earth that can do that----and Biden would be voted out of office in a landslide if he so much as suggested it.
    1
  12187. Putin is always correcting Western leaders on Russian history in particular and their role in European history in general. Americans are especially ignorant about World history. Since Putin came on the scene, only Clinton and Obama have been comparable to Putin in terms of historic knowledge.
    1
  12188. OMG stop the whining??? UK uses "sacked" for everyone from the janitor up to the Prime Minister!!! Stop crying! It's done!
    1
  12189. Anyone paying attention could see this a month ago; I'm VERY surprised CNN reports it as Western media tries to NEVER, EVER report facts that are negative to Ukraine. Just this week in Avdiivka the Russians quite literally walked in; the weather was bad so the FPV drones were few, and Ukraine had no artillery shells so they simply walked into southern Avdiivka while taking almost no casualties.
    1
  12190. Reservations on the red one just opened: $2K refundable deposit and they say "low to mid $60s" for the price. I think that is fine. Just the carbon fiber extras would put another $3K on the price of the regular fully loaded Type-S and you're at $58K anyway. Another 10% for a hand built limited edition? YES. However the blue one you can't reserve till December so I have to wait... 😞
    1
  12191. Sad, that 80 years later US/UK here trying to put Russia in chains. By June, 1944 Russia had already destroyed three entire German Army Groups (of 2.5 million men), one Italian Army Group (of 900,000 men), and one Hungarian Army Group (of 235,000 men). US/UK fought the scraps that were left...

  12192. Iran used their smallest ballistic missiles for a reason. To provide a measured response and to signal they can move up the ladder if necessary

  12194. Barbarossa 2.0. Same result.

  12195. What parents? The Left outlawed having two parents decades ago
    1
  12196. Just listen to the speaker at the 2:50 mark; this is what the West has not done for over two years now. CNN/BBC speak to hundreds of millions of people as if they are stupid; because they are afraid the population won't support the White House/Downing Street objectives if they know the full story.
    1
  12197. Just saw the video of the Swedish CV-90 getting penetrated by an RPG7 round: laughing Russians soldiers all around it, stepping over dead Ukrainians. Probably the most advanced armored vehicle given to Ukraine, knocked out by a 60 year old weapon. $5M wasted by $500. The hole is maybe only six inches across on the outside, but that molten jet of plasma that shot into the vehicle turned everyone inside to carbonized meat. Horrible.

  12198. Tu-160 Blackjack is now in action. Russia no longer playing with it's food...

  12199. How could Carlson "challenge" events he was not privy to?? WE don't even know if the CIA did or did not machinate the coup in 2014; just like WE don't really know if the CIA machinated the blowing up of Nordstream 2. All we "know" is what our government tells us. For that matter Carslon couldn't "challenge" Russian history, he doesn't know any. He couldn't "challenge" what really happened in Istanbul, he wasn't there and even if he were he is not a government official with first-hand knowledge. This idea that Carlson "knows the real truth" and just didn't check Putin with it is ludicrously absurd. It was an interview; not a debate.

  12200. YT is deleting comments by the tens of thousands per hour since this new war started
    1
  12201. Wait....."...Russian news agencies said". CNN believes this? Why? When "Russian news agencies said" the Admiral was alive, not killed by Storm Shadow, CNN didn't believe it. When "Russian news agencies said" the plane was hit by a Patriot and Ukrainian POWs were on board, CNN didn't believe it. If Russian news is believable now, what has changed??
    1
  12202. They are brave, but stupid. They cannot in a thousand years out-produce Russia; their defeat is assured. India news today report the Biden Administration is going around to any friendly country that uses Russian armaments to beg them to send the arms to Ukraine and the US will replace them. That is just pathetic. Biden is pathetic.
    1
  12203. YOUR enemy. Not mine. Donate YOUR money (or better yet, go sign up for the trenches).
    1
  12204. Also remember that Russia tactically encirled Avdiivka two days ago and have the last road in/out in sight of less than a kilometer from two sides. They plan to give Zelensky an ultimatum very soon: "order all AFU inside Avdiivka to drop weapons and surrender". They didn't say what would happen if not, but they don't really have to...
    1
  12205. LOL, the T-90M guys are like "we got all dressed up for nothing!"

  12206. Because they went to a Stag Party?? That's like a badge of honor in Hollywood for over 100 years...."

  12207. Putting 50,000 women conscripts into battle is a crime against humanity

  12208. Biden make us party to the war with NO Congressional Authorization; why aren't the GOP trying to impeach??

  12209. He looks good for age 56, he could be 46. Obviously well cared for by all his wives...

  12210. Putin does what he says he will do. Last week when Ukraine intelligence chief said last week "we will keep killing Russians", Putin said Russia would respond. Last night the Intelligence Directorate in Kyiv was destroyed by an Iskander. No idea yet if the Intel chief who said that was there at the time. Putin pays his debts; there WILL be a response to the drones hitting luxury condos in Moscow today.
    1
  12211.  @RaRa-eu9mw  ??? He said "I'll invade if no negotiations with NATO regarding Ukraine". They didn't negotiate, and he invaded.
    1
  12212. We are getting to the point, the Western MSM is putting out misinformation; not just propaganda----100% intentional lies. I may have to start reporting all CNN/BBC articles as misinformation..."
    1
  12213. In the Cuban Missile Crisis, the US made it clear war was the only response if Russia didn't remove the missiles from Cuba. Russia backed down and no war. Before this war, Russia made it clear to NATO war was the only response if the US/UK didn't stop pusing for Ukraine to join their military alliance, Biden and NATO ignored Russia and now we are locked in war.
    1
  12214. Anyone paying close attention knows there will be no talks from Ukraine side unless the United States wants it. When the US has had enough (or Ukraine somehow acheives enough success), only then will Biden allow Zelensky to talk peace. For a year people have thought it is Zelensky controlling Biden; however it is now clear to all that Biden controls Zelensky.
    1
  12215. Please record this date and time. I swear the information war the past two years has been more intense than the real war. Western Media passed "spin" a year ago; they now in the realm of "alternative reality"...."

  12216. Terrorists now, eh? Can't win in combat so send assassins far from line of combat? Shameful.
    1
  12217. US will never allow any investigation, just like Nordstream 2. Just say "Russia did it!" 🙂
    1
  12218. Wagner are storm troopers; private Marines if you will. Bakhmut is taken, it can be held by regular Russian army. Wagner are being redeployed to the South to destroy whatever attack Ukraine can muster.
    1
  12219. You can tell Joe knows its over; he more and more speaks about Ukraine in future tense. That doesn't stack up to the reality of what we are aware of: how can he be sure there is a future for Ukraine?? What we see show it is coming apart; Zelensky is clearly showing his desperation at the situation. The crushing defeats of Ukraines army the past week and the announcement today by Russia that their Lyman Offensive has begun is starting to bring reality to him. The Chechens posted pictures of Ukrainian soldiers they took prisoner today and they look like Grandpa's... I'm not even sure Putin would pick up the phone today for Armistice talks. I wouldn't-----because I know tomorrow I'll have even more than I do today. That is, of course, unless ol Sleepy Joe already cut a deal with Putin...."unofficially".... 🙂

  12220. GOP is done with Ukraine. They realize it is good money after bad, and every escalation will be met by Russia meaning no matter what is sent, there will be no advantage to Ukraine.

  12221. Stop crying. You couldn't even find Ukraine on a map in 2021.

  12222. Yeah, they certainly are not the laughable trash they were 25 years ago, but most people never admitted to buying a Kia until about 2015 or so. At slightly below their MSRP, they are OK values-----however at MSRP (or above!??!?) only a fool would buy them. It is well documented that their engines are bottom of the class, there is a good reason for the 10 year powertrain warranty. They also do not hold up well in the interior materials area; they look great on day 1, but with 10K to 20K miles the peeling, bruising, creaking reminds you what you really bought. Now that they cost about the same as a Toyota or Honda, it makes no sense to buy them at that price.
    1
  12223. We are watching a new Empire construct itself right in front of our eyes. Russian Su-35s escorted Xi's plane, not Chinese J-15s; that is the ultimate sign of respect, cooperation and trust. No country would trust the US Air Force to guard their Presidential plane, and the RAF would not be able to spare four fighters to guard someone else's leader....
    1
  12224. Even if they had 50 F-16s with JDAM would not make any difference. Russia would bomb the airbases mercilessly, send Su-27s specifically to hunt them, maybe a few bombs would hit, a few Russian positions destroyed, a few artillery or vehicles hit. No difference at all in outcome.
    1
  12225. Biden, Stoltenberg, Johnson, and the other leaders that desired war with Russia could not be the ones to sit down and discuss ending it; as complicit instigators their egos and reputations would never allow them to do that. Trump doesn't have anything to do with it; he can come in with no baggage, no reputation to protect, no ego to bruise. Putin, of course, can also use this to his political advantage (as he undoubtedly will). By simply offering terms sweeter than what he would have offered Biden, he can leave the world with the impression that a reasonable accommodation was there all along, and only the foolish Biden, Blinken, and Austin were such intransigent vampires bent on spilling Russian guts, they didn't want to even listen. A win/win for both, and the reputation of the Biden Administration and the DEMs destroyed for a generation.
    1
  12226. Have to always look at the motivations in these types of situations; just like the "he said/she said" in a divorce. Who most benefits from the result? One plane or 65 men don't affect the war, but the end of prisoner exchanges forever CAN have some effect. Who is most likely to have wanted POW swaps to end?
    1
  12227. THIS is why people die. Sheer intransigent stupidity. Ukraine has taken NO territory that it has held for more than a day or two in three weeks and they've taken massive losses in doing so. Russia is stronger than they were a month ago, while Ukraine is weaker. How is that "just fine"???
    1
  12228. I can already tell you what Biden will answer to Zelensky's "Victory Plan", which of course, is mostly a "US goes to war with Russia for Ukraine" plan. If you follow this closely (I realize most do not), just read the room. Last week Scholz said "its time to negotiate" and refused for the 10th time to give long range missiles. Watch Lloyd Austin last week when asked many times about long range missiles; his words give away the answer. Today, Italy's Meloni said "no" to long range missiles, joining Hungary in NATO voices that say "enough". Stoltenberg, the greatest NATO hawk, term just ended. Expanding the war is no longer an option as NATO will not act in a fractured manner. Zelensky will make his pitch; politely be told "No", and be flown home to face reality.
    1
  12229. More "regime change" coming up in Mali, Niger, Burkina Faso and anywhere else on the Continent where NATO is told to "go phucc yourselves". NATO will bring "freedom".....at gunpoint.
    1
  12230. That's why Biden did it; to muck things up so that Trump doesn't get the big "W" by finding a solution. Nothing to do with what is good for Ukraine, the US, the world; just Biden being the worthless loser he is....
    1
  12231. You should not have needed the comments to feel this way; only to have been awake in 2016. Trump ran and won partially on isolationism. It is the Democrats, not the GOP who are now the bloodthirsty warmongers like that worthless pet Austin, or that Succubus Nuland, or the truly nauseating Blinken. DEMs are now our "warrior class".
    1
  12232. The Arab States have rejected the idea of de-populating Gaza. Iran already rejected that last week. That's both Shia and Sunni in sync against Israel. Biden has the world on the brink of WW3: will he push us all in?
    1
  12233. That Iskander strike vid appears to be the one from a few days ago; of course I don't "know", but I recognized the building burning in the drone footage as very similar to the one in the photo we saw a couple days after the news from Selydove. Large, rectangular building about 3/4 stories with an open square area in front. The speed of those Iskanders is incredible; night footage of artillery shells moving at say 1500 m/s looks positively SLOW in comparison to those of Iskander. 1500 m/s is about 3000 mph; so just seeing the Iskander clearly moving at twice that speed gives you 6000 mph or about Mach 7 at sea level. Damn....

  12234. You are also one of the "clueless". Air Power cannot take or hold land; Gen. LeMay taught us that 80 years ago.

  12235. Ukraine is the condom the US used to try to fucc Russia...
    1
  12236. This will only prolong the war and the dying. Russia has 1500 combat aircraft vs. Ukraine 97; it simply is not possible to change the outcome in the manner you describe. It is long past the time to talk.
    1
  12237. by sending a second carrier battle group....
    1
  12238. How is this even a question? Long ago courts ruled that once you post something to a public website, it becomes "public domain". Of course its up to the site owner whether they want to cooperate with police, but generally if you put it out there, you may as well have sent it to the cops yourself.
    1
  12239. Why? Russia has Ukraine by the throat right now by conventional means.

  12240. I've watched several video reviews on this as I was totally unaware of this model until seeing this review. The chunky, squared shape doesn't appear to have much style at first glance, but that's first glance. Get up close and inside and this thing is positively dripping with style----of the Scandinavian kind. As far as the external appearance I think the black trim line along the bottom doesn't do it any favors; the black one I've seen looks better from the side. Its not beautiful, but it is purposeful and I think with some tasteful mods could really look aggressively attractive. I have always liked Volvo sedan looks; just the super techy hybrid powerplants of late have turned me off. However this is pure EV and I'm good with that; I think Polestar may have a "sleeper" hit here; it won't sell in Camry numbers but I think in time this will be a highly respected (and desirable) car. At $40K a Model 3 is a fair choice; at $60K a Model 3 buyer would feel like they were robbed after driving this...
    1
  12241. Genesis = "pretend" luxury. Just enough to make those coming out of a Sonata or Mustang or Malibu feel like they "arrived" and nothing more. Let me know when poor people start naming their kids "Genesis"-----that is when you know the Koreans have arrived.
    1
  12242. Its been leaked for days; he will demand NATO admit Ukraine immediately, so he can invoke Article 5. Putin will have to stop and negotiate with 32 countries instead of just one (or just go ahead and fight all 32 anyway). That's his "plan"....
    1
  12243. Big, expensive nuke-powered ships (including US supercarriers) are the battleships of the 21st century----obsolete before they know it. In the next Big War, a swarm of 100 cheap missiles will easily overwhelm any air defense and turn the $12B supercarrier into a blazing wreck. The future is smaller, cheaper, stealthier warships that carry many drones and missiles.

  12244. Who is the "West"?

  12245. Lol...nafo now like "it's just an old tank"
    1
  12246. Westerners believe steel made in US or UK or Germany is somehow magically different than steel made in Russia. Evem of this story is BS (and I believe it is), eventually the Leopards will show up and they'll fight and be damaged or destroyed like any other tank. It's a tank!

  12247. Our bombs, our fault....

  12248. Did NK and Iran donate the weapons???"

  12249. This isn't Ukraine, it is the US and no matter what you think of Wagner, if Sudanese citizens join up that is a problem for SUDAN. Unless the Sudanese government requested such "assistance" (highly doubtful), this unilateral action is purely State-sponsored terrorism and is 100% illegal. If the Biden Administration is doing this on its own, it deserves to be burned to the ground as it is no better than a terrorist. If this really is somehow 100% Urkaine, may Russia scorch them out of existence for all eternity.

  12250. Where are all the "slava ukraini" people?? Were they Americans 😂

  12251. So the force held back to exploit the "breakthrough" that never came, now committed to make the "breakthrough" themselves? Let's say they make a hole, who is left to "exploit" it? The women?

  12252. Who again was pushing Ukraine into the EU (and in the future NATO)?

  12253. I've been following this just out of interest as I have 2011 Jaguar XJ with same engine. Almost 10 years old running fine; only thing I ever replaced was water pump. As long as you do the maintenance these JLR 5.0l V8s are very reliable. Poor maintenance = poor reliability. Really enjoyed the intro; you guys crack me up!! :-)
    1
  12254. Biden isn't dull-witted enough to give them our latest because he knows most will be shot down and Russia will recover debris and get lots of fancy US tech. So they'll get the cast-offs from other NATO countries, planes that were planned for the scrap heap in a few years anyway. Which means Russia's top guns in brand new Su-27s and 35s will feast upon these ancient F-16s...

  12255.  @ADHDfuntimes  We aint talking about "Westerners"; we are talking about Ukrainians with 4 months training vs. Russians with years of training. These newbies will fall like leaves...

  12256. We here in United States feel similar, we have two parties, but since 2016 its either idiot #1, or idiot #2, neither of which listens to us or does what we want.

  12257. Here we go; just like the Russo-Ukraine war: "I shot yours down!" , "No, you didn't!". The endless PR war....

  12259. West really pumping this to get that money, eh? NO. No more money. If they want to fight the country that defeated two of the largest armies in history, let them do it on their own dime.

  12260. South Korea sent 500,000 155mm shells to Ukraine back in 2023 and has the nerve to complain now... They are apparently learning hubris from the best teachers: the Biden Administration. 🤣
    1
  12261. Or 2003, by not doing "regime change" on Saddam Hussain, who was Sunni and his Baath Party firmly in control of Iraq. We handed Iraq over to Iran on a plate.

  12262. How does one "stall" something that isn't moving? Russia just went on the offensive November 7th. Ukraine's offensive was destroyed back in June

  12263. For two months?? No way.

  12264. Too bad the insurance will cost $25K a year....

  12265. I felt the same in 2016, but no more. I don't want war all over the planet and I don't want 100,000 people a month from anywhere and everywhere just walking into our country. If the "anti-war" people are now "sick", then we really are in upside-down world.

  12267. Putin will stop the Kinzhals and Iskanders for one day, so people can vote. 🙂
    1
  12268. I think Putin just arranged for some number of Chechens to be the "counter-attack" in Kursk. Hard to find any estimate of how many are going to Kursk, but they appear to have been uncommitted anywhere else. To me that is smart if that is the case; using a heretofore uncommitted force means you don't have to let up anywhere else where you have the initiative...."

  12269. Yadda, yadda....another Porsche track monster that no one who is able to get one will actually track. If Porsche wants to get people to actually drive these on a track, they should challenge their engineers to "build a track Cayman that costs $75K" and then stamp out 10,000 of them per year.

  12270. LOL. When Wagner raises a flag its on the roof of a 20 story building in a city of 70,000 people. These clowns in blue tape (isn't blue for the Foreign brigade, Poles, Brits, etc?) raising a flag on an abandoned village of 700 (that they didn't even have to fight for). If I were them I'd be embarrased to be in that photo.....won't matter anyways as every one of them will be dead in a month.
    1
  12271. Russia went on the offensive last week as they were waiting for Ukraine but became convinced Ukraine was hesitant due to low ammo, no F-16s etc. This is actually a Ukraine response, and they either pulled the greatest fake in military history by convincing Russia to attack first, or they are about to be annihilated.
    1
  12272. Is the "West" at war or Ukraine?? Think carefully before you answer.... 🙂
    1
  12273. Anglo Saxons have believed themselves to be superior to Slavic peoples for 1500 years at least. It will take that long for them to acknowledge Russia is actually better than they are at anything

  12274. US now breaking it's own laws...Russia has won already.

  12275. Interior reminds me of a slightly upgraded version of my 2011 Prius. Such a cold, sterile appliance-like interior totally devoid of character; Alfa Romeo would never design such a lifeless interior space. Hard pass.

  12276. Leaked documents out of Germany, say Ukrainians "wasted Western training" and that is why they are being obliterated.
    1
  12277. The "momentum" of losing Western armored vehicles?? How will ATACMS help that?
    1
  12278. Not even a "country" at this point. NATO has been paying their public sector salaries and pensions since the war started----yes Zelensky and all his troops are on the NATO payroll using our tax money. They are more like Puerto Rico now than an independent country.
    1
  12279. This is essentially "Pearl Harbor" for Hezbollah.... US telling Iran not to respond is like telling the US not to respond to Japan on Dec. 8th, 1941....

  12280. These extremely elderly politicians need to be gently and humanely escorted into retirement. Age 75 should be the limit; for God's sake, McConnell was born right before the Battle of Midway.

  12282. Generally true, but the wisdom difference between a 45 year old and a 75 year old is minimal.

  12283.  @robertscott961  How so? They have more men and 10 to 1 advantage in artillery. You still on the NATO "Russian conscripts will run away" kick?
    1
  12284. Those attack drones look like they cost at least $500 each!
    1
  12285. NATO, the ones that haven't already jumped ship; all looking for an off ramp. I predict that if Trump wins, Ukraine will surrender within days.
    1
  12286. US has a media blackout on this story. Really is amazing how completely the Biden Administration controls the press here. I've never seen anything like it before
    1
  12287. Russia is winning the battle on the ground, but now that NATO isn't even pretending anymore, they are losing the strategic battle. Ukraine had no ability to perform "presicion strike" six months ago and now they are taking out individual buildings in protected areas? No, everyone who watches this channel know who that is: US and UK. I'm just putting the pieces together but I think NATO is basically done with "arming" Ukraine to do it and they are evolving to just do it themselves. Why send Ukraine a missile when you can just fire it at Russia yourself and do it better as you have all the intel assets? Germany wasn't impressed with Ukraine's army performance and Poland just recently is like "we gave you our old junk, we aren't giving you our new stuff". There are no ATACMS in this latest round approved by Biden; that tells you that "offensive strike" is being taken from Ukraine and put in NATO hands. Read the tea leaves and imho direct war NATO vs. Russia in 2024 is inevitable. I have no idea how that will end.
    1
  12288. WSJ reported Russians already adapted to the cluster shells. They just dig their trenches deeper and spread their men out more. Another "game changer" that changes nothing and now that Biden is a war criminal, the Russians are free to be as well. The "double tap" missile strike yesterday designed to kill both the foreign mercenaries AND the Ukrainian responders is a direct result of Bidens cluster bomb decision.
    1
  12289. Putin has enough grain to give it away, enough weapons to give them away, enough oil and gas to sell it at cost. If anything Western sanctions have probably INCREASED the size of Russia's economy.

  12290. and Ukraine promised to stay neutral, correct?

  12291. The Houthis are earning a decade worth of "street cred" among their peers for their performance standing up to the US and UK.

  12292. Sudan knows WW3 has already begun and they want no parts of it. When the smoke clears there will be lots of opportunities for nations that sat this one out

  12293. These Anglo-Saxons want to force Russia back into the "family" they were in before 1917. The family where Russia was the one cleaning the toilets 100% of the time. Need to move to the Southern Hemisphere....the Northern one is not long for this world.
    1
  12294. Everyone loves 2-door coupes, but almost no one buys them as their utility is virtually nil. I can assure you only toddlers could sit in the back seat of previous Prelude's. Unless this is the basis of a larger line of Honda vehicles, I cannot see them building this alone. EV-only means the Prelude will be more expensive than if it had a gas engine, and the Infiniti Q60 coupe, which looks quite a bit better than this, is being discontinued this year due to low sales.
    1
  12295. Meanwhile Russia is on the offensive in three sectors and North Korean ammo shipments have begun. Kim is providing up to TEN MILLION 122mm and 152mm shells, enough for 16 months of a high intensity offensive.

  12296.  @JamesMurphy-ry2mx  Yep. NATO should just leave Russia alone. Try that for once..."
    1
  12297. Ukrainian FM is in China indicating they are ready to talk, not to the US or UK (because Russia will not allow the US/UK to have any role in a post-war Ukraine); but with China as guarantor, there is a chance..." Poll this weeks says 32% of Ukraine citizens accept the possibility of territorial concessions---up from 10% two years ago. Ukraine is beaten; the RU steamroller that started in October, has never been stopped----and it only grows in speed. The Iskanders land with impunity in Ukraine's rear, while the Lancet and FPV drones rule the skies over the front. The people have had enough; civilians burn the vehicles of conscription units and last week a woman immolated herself in Kyiv in protest of conscription. The prisoner units hastily assembled wither to nothing with days on the line of contact; men with 3 weeks of summary "training" easily swept aside by ultra-experienced, battle-hardened Spetznaz, Storm-Z, Marines, and Paratroopers now with years of combat experience. This round is over; pray that Trump wins so there will not be a subsequent round between NATO and RU directly..."

  12298. Not surprised at all. 2022 BMW X5 starts at $60K, but the new iX M50 starts at $84K. The "EV Premium" is $24K which seems to be about the same for the F-150. Gonna take more than $7500 from my fellow citizens for me to help save the planet.

  12299. He isn't really "campaigning"; he's just telling the Russian people what is about to happen. He knows dam well Ukraine cannot stop the Russian Army and they are going to create a 15km deep "buffer zone" inside Ukraine all along their border (excluding the annexed areas----that is not "Ukraine", to them that is Novorossiya ("New Russia"). This will keep their cities and towns along the border out of range of most garden variety artillery or rockets. Similar to the buffer zone Israel has in some areas. He announced they were going to do this back in October, but this is the first time Western Media is reporting it.
    1
  12300. 52 vs. 1 , the 1 is winning, and their capabilities are "abysmal". Pray Russia never gets to spend $886B a year on its military. They'd rule the entire Sol planetary system

  12301. Same for the CNN military "experts" the past few weeks. A LOT of qualifying and moon-walking in their statements that wasn't there in January.

  12302. Tu-160 Blackjack fired them. No more playing around now.

  12303. The next Civil War will be right here in the US.
    1
  12304. Yeah from Germany because he can't go home as Russia destroyed the Patriot battery protecting Kyiv a day ago, and the Iskanders and Kinzhals rule the sky over the city
    1
  12305. Now a $6M missile can be sprayed unsuccessfully at the Kinzhal instead of $4M ones. Anyone seen Budanov? He's been missing for two weeks since the Kinzhal strike on the Intelligence HQ in Kyiv. You know, the attack where the Patriot fired all 32 of its missiles and the Kinzhal still killed him? $128M of my tax money shot at the sky for nothing. Great. 2024 Election can't come fast enough...
    1
  12306. I hate the fact that US servicemen are now dying in Ukraine, but I blame Biden 100% for them being there. They have no business there as this is not our war; there are crazies in US govt. that want to drop the "proxy" from this farce and go toe to toe with Russia. The sane people of the world must recognize it is THESE people who are the true enemy.
    1
  12307. I'm down to being able to stomach this channel and maybe one or two others. The ones where they guy (or gal) is in the manufacturer's building "reviewing" their car I cannot stand it anymore.
    1
  12308. NATO betrayed Russia. Biden gave approval to use American weapons on Russia soil; something that was never allowed before. "The dwarf has played his trick, he can only do it once"
    1
  12309. Only $12B of the aid is actually weapons and ammo (a Patriot system alone is $2B). It isn't enough to do anything other than keep them from collapsing a few more months. NO ONE in the US has said otherwise, not even Biden so I don't even know where all these "can it change anything" articles are coming from.
    1
  12310. ...1st AFU UFO theorist has arrived. Russia has the largest land mass of any country on Earth. Oil, gas, copper, tin, more resources than you can count. But, as NAFO-bots always do, that is ignored and somehow Ukraine has a chance to last longer than Russia does. I swear you people need to be put in an asylum
    1
  12311. Uhhh, Biden was being crushed in all polls BEFORE this....
    1
  12312. You don't even need to listen to West propaganda on CNN/BBC/MSNBC etc. to know Ukraine is toast. Just look at any video from the past few months; when the Russians raise the flag over captured cities, the buildings in the background are almost completely intact . Just today the vid from Selydove, the building in the background looks like you could move in tomorrow. Ukraine doesn't have the men to defend everywhere, so Russia has no need to reduce the city to rubble before taking it.
    1
  12313. It won't matter because Biden will just "secretly" send in any number of US troops to support whatever Ukraine needs to make them combat ready. The US Military is running spy drones, and AWACS sweeps (from Polish territory) 24/7 and sending all that data to Ukraine. There are US soldiers in Ukraine training on everything under the sun. Those Russian "rebels" from last week were clear CIA operatives. Austin and Milley are guiding Ukraine on strategy, etc. Ukraine at this point is a seventh branch of the Armed Forces of the United States.

  12314. NATO fans so starved for good news this year they actually believed 15,000 men could drive all the way to Moscow...." Hitler sent Three Million that way and still lost..."

  12317. Yes, white is on the color wheel....

  12318. We've heard from the Ukrainian Nationalists now for almost three years and only ruin follows in the wake of their words. Can we please start hearing from the moderate Ukrainians that Biden Admin. (and CNN) have suppressed for so long??
    1
  12319.  @RichWinder-je5xn  Depends on how powerful I was, and how powerful you were.
    1
  12320. Let's hope so. That way the Russians can destroy it and the war can end at the negotiating table
    1
  12321. "we" don't have to await, you do....
    1
  12322. Of course not. However they do need them to defeat (or at least deter) the United States. All others in NATO are easily crushed by Russia; only the US requires the "big stick" to keep it in check.
    1
  12323. You must be French: surrender to the Germans after losing ONE battle. Russia took 22M dead and WON!

  12324. This war will be over in 12 weeks...

  12325. Suddenly the West loves Al Qaeda terrorists because they are fighting a Russian ally. Of course the West hired them to do so...

  12326. We have not heard of or seen a single solitary Challenger 2 in any blogger summary, media outlet, MoD announcement, or Telegram channel. Not one. Where are they?? Are they running?
    1
  12327. Of course it is close, wipeouts are rare at the Presidential level. I have two boys under age 21 so I voted Trump as I don't want the Democrats to send them to the trenches of Ukraine for a country i care nothing about.
    1
  12328.  @jeffnorris8848  I haven't see the Russians attack in the middle, since a few days ago when they attacked on the left to allow their line to retreat. Bombing, shelling, drones, etc. for 24/7 in the middle is not an "attack".
    1
  12329. It is a close race; it always is. However if it breaks big one way, my belief is that will be for Trump. The Democrat Party wants to send US troops into Ukraine; it is the ONLY way the troops from other NATO countries will go (and UK, FR, Poland, + the little Baltics all want to go too). NO one will go without the US though, and that can't happen without Congress Approval. If Harris wins and the DEMs get Congress it will guarantee a US Army deployment to Ukraine I cannot believe a majority of the US population wants to risk open war with Russia over Ukraine so I believe Trump will win, and he'll win big.
    1
  12330. All these Democrat Party wars need to end; they are growing and spreading and the more Biden just keeps fueling them with more weapons, the more lethal they become. We need new leadership with new ideas; Harris just more of the same failed policy.
    1
  12331. True, but half are 17 year old boys and 53 year old men. Not very useful on either offense or defense.

  12332. Didn't the Confederacy use something similar in 1864 to sink a Union warship?
    1
  12333. "Estranged" means "still married". With SEVEN children, why are you even bothering to "date"? You have your hands MORE than full for the next decade or more-----you have nothing to offer except some random strange when you get a moment free of parenting. Who wants that??
    1
  12334. UK trying figure out how these "shovels" are kicking their arse....
    1
  12335. That looks like more than just "damaged". Ahh, whatever it is just PR. Ukraine wanted to distract from the Fall of Maryinka yesterday and the retreat from Avdiivka today. With news like that, I don't blame them for trying a "political" victory.
    1
  12336. Zelensky just fired the commander for Kharkiv sector. Ive said for months Ukraine reminds me of Germany in spring 1945 and YT usually deletes the comment. They can't hide it anymore....'
    1
  12337. Prigozhin masterminded the 2016 PsyOps masterstroke that put Trump in power. No American is on his level; he is a Jedi Master level troll.
    1
  12338. Yeah because in every single one of those previous news clips, the American was referring to Russia's threat to America . The Democrats read their history books and got it wrong; now they want us to respond to Russia's threat to Ukraine , not to America. Who TF is Ukraine to us? No one.
    1
  12339. ...and when this "game changer" fails to change the game? What next?
    1
  12340. Dude do the checks say "Genesis" or "Hyundai" on them? I've been watching you for about a year and you never appeared to be biased but holy cow, every Genesis review or preview you are gushing before even opening the door. If you are a paid spokesperson no problem; you are a good reviewer and you should be compensated for your time/skill. However you should disclose that; journalistic ethics and all...
    1
  12341. So basically those of us calling BS on this Biden Administration propaganda channel for the last year are now vindicated? I don't have enough middle fingers to flip to the hundreds of CNN drones that gave negative responses over the past six months, so I'll just say " I hope Russia crushes them completely!"
    1
  12342. The reason it surprised everyone (and I do mean everyone ) is because it's been against NATO policy for 2+ years for AFU to send Western-donated weapons into Russia. Very simple. Military channels for weeks said a Ukrainian offensive was coming soon, no one knew where. However, seeing US-made Strykers near the border in that area raised no alarm because US expressly forbade AFU to use donated equipment on Russian soil. Ooops! Biden changed the rules! A "surprise" attack, because NATO changed its own "rules"...." A bit like Japan sending the Declaration of War to Washington as the bombs were falling on Pearl ...."
    1
  12343. We can't. The supplemental has $61B for Ukraine, only $30B of which is actual weapons and ammo. Zelensky has openly admitted they need 25 Patriots just to protect their cities from bombardment, not even to stop a single Russian tank. 25 Patriots costs over $50B alone.
    1
  12344. LOL. Stoltenberg said the opposite yesterday... NATO is politically weaker than it has ever been in my lifetime.
    1
  12345. Since Biden was elected, wars now sprout like weeds the world over. The shadow neo-cons in his Cabinet made themselves known in Ukraine and now sow destruction all across the globe. Syria, Niger, Ukraine, Armenia all actively being served with Death at their hands. Now Israel. Tomorrow Iran, North Korea, Taiwan, China and who knows where else. Everywhere the hand of NATO reaches, feels its touch of Darkness; wherever the world is in flames, the one agent common to them all is-----NATO.
    1
  12346. NATO cannot accept that her power will diminish. They fear 2nd place so much they are willing to go to war to avoid it.
    1
  12347. Still waiting for BBC to give Putin credit as he is the one that intervened and brokered the ceasfire.
    1
  12348. Biden has turned America into a running joke....
    1
  12349. Biden should think long and hard about this: If he shuts the border and deports them ALL, he takes away 90% of why people are holding their nose but planning to vote Trump. He will then get the aid to save our 51st State, Ukraine from certain doom under a Russian tank tread. Win-Win!
    1
  12350. They can stop trying to take him out to help Zelensky; nothing can save Ukraine now....
    1
  12351. ...on the same day Kirby announces the US has suspended military aid to Ukraine (unless Congress approves more). Even a neocon knows better than to bite off more than he can chew...
    1
  12352. They have more ammo for these old tanks than there are grains of sand on the beach. Remember these were built at the height of the Cold War to crush all of Europe before America could get there in time to stop them. Fuel?? Are you serious? Russians take baths in their own oil.
    1
  12353. I honestly like everything about this other than that schnoz; a manual being made in 2021?? I'd almost buy it just for that reason alone. However, I just can't get past that nose; I have really tried because I love the rear, love the fat quad tips, love the crazy BMW interior color options and design, love the sound of that wonderful motor...but---that---face. What really surprised me was your statement about its size being bigger in all respects than the old M6 coupe!! Wow! I looked up the stats on my 2012 Jag XKR and this new M4 is almost identical in power to weight ratio! It really is a "big GT" now. I have no problem with that, BUT PLEASE BMW CHANGE THE NOSE FOR 2023!!

  12354. WOW! Like trying to avoid a massive pothole in a semi at 60 mph! A $6M artillery system destroyed by two $20K drones.

  12357. Wow. CNN publishes a view counter to that of the Biden Administration??? That is more shocking than the cluster bomb decison!

  12358. This guy really is a comedian. He expects China to help his NATO master's subdue Russia, when those very same masters will simply use Taiwan to try to subdue China a few years from now.
    1
  12359. I don't believe the Brits ever sent even a single Challenger tank. That was in January and here it is almost August and no one has ever seen one in Ukraine even fire one shot at the Russians. Today Ukraine cashes in all her poker chips and even now, no Challengers to be seen. History will record it as the "Coward Tank" of the Ukraine war.
    1
  12360. LMAO. Loser tech. AK rounds drop like a stone after about 200 meters, meaning even a slow drone flying in a straight line at 1000 ft would be impossible to hit. A Lancet diving at 200+ mph forget it. I doubt they'd even take out a single drone with this BS...

  12364. I first learned of Sarmat w/Avangard two years ago from Scott Ritter and here we are RU is clearly preparing to use it if they have to. However I'm not sure if other older ICBMs can carry Avangard warhead or just RS-28 Sarmat; if not RU in trouble because US/UK will not back down unless made to do so. Its true they have many ammo depots and it won't matter for them beating up Ukraine; but NATO "softening up" RU using Ukrainian hands is exactly what they want. Without the non-nuclear "big stick" RU doesn't have a credible conventional deterrent to NATO. EDIT: Just looked it up and (at least according to Wikipedia, Avangard can be carried by "UR-100UTTKh,[9][10] R-36M2 and RS-28" Whew was worried there for a sec; no one is under any illusion that in a direct conventional confrontation US can beat RU; $900B a year vs. $110B a year has only one possible outcome. Avangard, being a "strategic" (but non-nuclear) capability, is one of the few things that can keep NATO at bay without having to burn the northern hemisphere.

If Harris wins and the DEMs get Congress it will guarantee a US Army deployment to Ukraine I cannot believe a majority of the US population wants to risk open war with Russia over Ukraine so I believe Trump will win, and he'll win big.

  12374. That looks quite doable actually based on what we know today.
    1
  12375. Now the truth about the bridge attack comes out: Ukraine used the "grain deal" passage by using a civilian ship as the drone carrier. Well, the Port of Odessa no longer exists now after Russia carpet-bombed it into oblivion last night. Fitting...
    1
  12376. A lot of Ukraine bots gloating. I'll admit this is an easy one to jump on, especially since otherwise things look so bad for Ukraine. I'll come back to this thread when Kharkiv falls. Probably before Oktoberfest starts...

  12377. As soon as it became clear Biden and Democrats have zero chance, you-know-who went to "Plan B"...."

  12378. Just imagine a world in which the United States left these people alone. No bases. No CIA safe houses. No naval "exercises". No regime change. No attempts to force democracy on their people. Just pretend they don't exist. What would such a world be like?

  12379. Dumb NATO war, but I can't help but feel happy seeing the Mirage 2000. It is like an old friend to me as the first model airplane I ever got was a Mirage V from a friend of my father's who was cleaning out his collection. I thought it was so cool looking and it started my love for French fighters that I still have today. I was a big supporter of the Rafale back 20 years ago when everyone said it was garbage----now look at it----everyone wants one. 🙂

  12380. You really have to wonder what the various editorial staff and talking heads from CNN/BBC/SKY/WaPo etc. will say a year or two from now when we play back all this isht in front of them. You think they'll admit to lying to our faces, or do you think they really believe Ukraine is winning this fight?
    1
  12381. OCI too long; pretty clearly stated. If you are putting Mobil 1/Pennzoil/Castrol/Motul etc. in there every time, maybe an average of 8150 miles between changes will be OK. If you are using Supertech or Kirkland or auto parts store house brand oil, you probably need to have that average at 5000 between oil changes.

  12382. US denies this took place. Notice that now the US is denying things not Ukraine anymore? They don't even bother let the proxy speak now

  12384. CNN and Telegraph will never broadcast the results of that strike on NATO personnel and equipment.

  12385. Remember, Biden had this opportunity in September, 2021. Putin sent these same requirements to him directly . Biden ignored it and armed Ukraine thereby choosing war over diplomacy. NEVER forget that for the next thousand years...
    1
  12386. Yeah whatever, "testing" has proven to be utterly worthless as most NATO weaponry passed peacetime tests with flying colors; then was sent to Ukraine to fall flat on its face. Send this new wunderwaffe to Avdiivka and THEN you'll know if its worth a spit.
    1
  12387. 99% of those living in the West don't even know that the "West" refers to. The Nordic dominated West tried to subdue Russia in 1812 and 1941 , for the same reason...her vast resources. This week they tried for a 3rd time in history; the results will be the same..."
    1
  12388. Russia is advancing on all fronts; we are watching the endgame in Ukraine.
    1
  12389. The drones Russia sends aren't what is crushing Ukraine; its the Kinzhals, Iskanders, Storms, and Oniks doing all the critical damage. This system won't do anything to stop those.
    1
  12390. Biden just said any peace deal now is too favorable to Russia and is therefore "unacceptable". He is now rushing Abrams tanks to Ukraine faster than planned back in Feb. Russia just bombed Kyiv last night. Both sides don't seem to be in any mood for "peace". Ukraine couldn't have peace talks even if they wanted to; Biden is now making all their decisions for them.
    1
  12391. There's Teslas, then there are EVs. Teslas are like iPhones; very popular as status symbols. EVs however are judged more objectively and by that standard they simply do not make sense. A 2021 Porsche Taycan---a vehicle with engineering and material quality ten times that of any Tesla----was $175,000 two years ago and today you can buy one with less than 10K miles for $70K. Why such apocalyptic depreciation? Think about it. How much would you pay for a three year old smartphone?
    1
  12392. Remember two years ago when BBC / CNN / SKY ran glossy interviews with dozens of American/British "volunteers" who wanted to go fight Russia? They thought it would be like "Call of Duty"; where they run around with a GoPro on their helmet and send cool videos to their YouTube channel. There's nothing to fear....just like Iraq or Afghanistan when they fought the dirt-poor shepherds and farmers. Spetznaz and Pacific Fleet Marines sent them all running home to mama; can't find any "volunteers" in Ukraine now...

  12393. IDF has "cope cages" on their tanks now. Learned their lesson from Ukraine war.

  12394. The men go after 16 yr old girls who have developed, but all these women go after 12/13 yr old boys who just started puberty. Can someone explain it??? What are they doing with these little boys???
    1
  12395. Is it really Ukraine though? All the video shows American and German equipment inside Russia (where they aren't supposed to be used). NATO equipment, NATO troops (or trained by NATO), NATO satellite intel, NATO objectives to end the Russian State. Seems like a NATO First Strike imho....."
    1
  12396. China's peace plan is looking better and better every day. THEY (not NATO), step in and provide Ukraine the Security it requires from Russian invasion, Russia no longer has to react to NATO putting missiles on its doorstep. War is over. Everyone is happy (and alive).
    1
  12397. There will be an Armistice soon; the rumors are flying around and the harsh reality of Ukraine having no air power to crack the Russian defenses, with shattered Leopards and Bradleys, has set in. The NATO summit is in two weeks and Ukraine will not have any huge success to show by then to convince NATO to send more weapons. Tanks and artillery isn't enough, Ukraine needs an entire air force to have any hope of serious success and that means hundreds of billions in planes, equipment, and very expensive highly trained personnel. All of which would be immediately at risk if it were located in Ukraine, and Putin has said any plane attacking Russia from anywhere, that anywhere is now a target. Everyone knows he's serious. Russia won't "win", but they won't "lose" either.

  12398. I love Audi's; the design, the incredible interior quality, etc. I just can't say "NO" to them. However after one experience with an A6, and reading for 15 years about the V8s. I only buy Audis with the EA888 motor. ONLY Any shade tree guy can work on it since its in every Passat/Golf/Jetta that comes his way. 10 years with three different Audis with that motor and zero issues other than water pump. Use good oil (Mobil1/Pennzoil/Motul is all I ever use), change at 5K miles, and rev it out half the time----don't drive for 50K miles like its Grandma's Lexus. I love the 6 and 8 cyl Audi but I'll never buy one.

  12399. YT is deleting any suggestions the Russians use a WMD on Avdiivka.

  12400. Notice we haven't heard about the "Russian and the cargo planes" since the election?? LOL. Just an attempt to get us to vote for Harris. If Russia actually wanted to hurt us, all they'd have to do is ship a dozen SA-18's (which they already retired) to some Haitian warlord.

  12401. All armies prepare for massive casualties before going on the offensive.
    1
  12402.  @wkwojti  That is Russia. In 1914 Russia took 300,000 casualties in two months and still turned the German offers of cease-fire down every time. Russians will NEVER stop fighting a war just because they are taking casualties. If you are killing them, they are killing you...
    1
  12403. Yes and No.
    1
  12404. LOL. Just six months ago, the entire Western Media apparatus interfered in Russia's election by elevating Nalvany to the level of a Holy Man, in a weeks-long wave of propaganda expressly designed to destroy Putin's re-election chances. How is it that so many millions of otherwise intelligent US citizens seem to have blinders on when it comes to Putin and Russia??

  12405. Makes sense now why NK started destroying roads between it and SK last week. They don't want SK thinking now is the time to jump while they have thousands of their best troops engaged in Russia.

  12406. Brits lucky there is no bridge from Norway to Scotland. Russia would send their toddlers ahead to defeat UKs 40 tanks...
    1
  12407. The West says "stop attacking Ukraine", but Russia is attacking Ukraine because the West wants to use it to threaten Russia. So, isn't the logical response "cease trying to use Ukraine to threaten Russia, and Russia will stop attacking Ukraine"?

  12408. Obama said same in 2015. He was proven right.

  12412. Why would they stop? Its no surprise wars start in Slavic countries, WW1, WW2, now WW3 all the same origins. They are just combative culture; easy to anger, easy to take offense, quick to resort to violence. NATO is using that trait to its advantage.

  12413.  @vitoralves422  re-read my first sentence again. It answers your question.

  12414. As Russia pushes West , AFU must move its defenses further west. More and more her biggest cities will inevitably become the line of contact.
    1
  12415. Everything NATO tries against Russia fails. EU announced last week they going to seize Russian money in their banks and give it to Ukraine, but their own bankers said "No". If EU and American banks suddenly seize foreign assets simply because their governments don't like a foreign government, then no countries' assets are safe outside of a domestic bank. NATO is so pathetic; you'd think they'd at least have made sure they could do this with their bankers and lawyers BEFORE announcing it?? 😂😂😂 Russia doesn't even have to try half the time to make the US and EU look like morons...

  12416. did you use the same candle that you lit last month when Ukrainian terrorists shelled Belgorod hotels and houses?

  12417. A lot of your subscribers do not realize it, but GM's quarterly profits look spectacular. They discovered the secret: the ONE guy who pays $30K over MSRP, puts more profit into their coffers than TEN guys who haggle them for a discount on MSRP. A Raptor or TRX or Escalade V is not a mass market vehicle; it isn't meant for a lot of people to have one. They should be as rare as a Ferrari.

  12420. Russia has been prioritizing destroying AA defenses over the last month. If they have air superiority, any Ukrainian offensive will be suicide. Many videos of Ukrainian AA systems being hit by Lancet drones over the past few weeks. The fact that Tu-95 and Tu-160 bombers and Mi-35 attack choppers are active again means the Russians believe Ukraines air defense is weakened enough for those assets to now operate.

  12421. Are you joking? The IS 500's only competition is M340i/M3 or Giulia Quad. Nothing else is in the same Universe.
    1
  12422. Since Ukraine is now sending 71 year old men to NATO training and months ago prevented all boys aged 16-18 from leaving the country, it is clear they are prepared to take as many casualties as necessary. On August 18, the NYT reported that US intelligence estimates Ukraine has taken nearly FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND casualties in 18 months of war. By comparison, the United States took about 407,000 casualties in all of World War 2. Let that sink in-----in less than two years, Ukraine has already EXCEEDED US casualties in four years of fighting two of the most powerful nations of the era in Germany and Japan.

  12428. CNN puts on Mearsheimer??? NOW after THREE YEARS OF IGNORING HIM??? WOW!!!

  12432. Every military professional who isnt paid to lie on MSM said this would happen.
    1
  12433. Shoigu said today via Russian MoD that Ukraine has lost 444,000 soldiers so far in the SMO (did not break down KIA/WIA). Who knows, maybe Zelensky was right and they have 31,000 KIA and 413,000 wounded/missing. Either way it explains why Zelensky need 500,000 more...
    1
  12434. What does her brain have to do with anything?

  12435. The way Democrats have been talking all day about this debate, one could easily think they started this war not to get back at Putin, but to get back at Trump.

  12438. "Turkey detains 40 ISIS suspects amid reports Moscow terror suspect came from Istanbul" ---- that is in Turkish papers today. Russia is unraveling the onion....
    1
  12439. This "analysis" is pure propaganda: the "7:1" ratio is directly from the Ukrainian MoD; reality is more like 1:1. This thing is exactly what I said it was months ago: a grudge match between NATO (mostly Biden W.H.) and Russia with Ukraine as the willing proxies. There won't be peace because neither side wants it; NATO and Russia want to have the big clash to see who is best.
    1
  12440. Can someone please explain why AFU did not do preparatory artillery bombardment for at least a day all along their desired axis of advance, and "walk" the shells ahead of their leading elements??
    1
  12441. What he isn't saying is that he doesn't WANT to do it as he knows he will lose his army in the process. Biden, Austin and Milley are MAKING him do it.
    1
  12442. I can't believe you can buy a drivable car for 150 pounds----that's about $200. You can't buy a non-running car in the US for $200; the scrap price is about $300: the seller could call a number and the car would be picked up no questions asked and net them more than $200. Here, that car would probably go for at least $1500.
    1
  12443. Apparently last night's attack destroyed Ukraine's Army Intel HQ in Kyiv. No video because Ukraine is now fanatically confiscating the phones of and arresting anyone who posts cell phone video of Russian attacks. This building housed the Ukrainian intelligence officers who said last week "kill Russians around the world". Putin always pays his debts. CNN probably has such video but they'd never publish it...
    1
  12444.  @wanderer5766  Kiev Zhuliany airport also hit. Patriot batteries defend it but could not stop all the Iskanders; a Patriot may even have been destroyed along with many aircraft. Video of Patriot missile parts falling into Kyiv traffic damaging cars clearly visible. If that had been an Iskander falling into traffic, there would be no identifiable cars left.

  12449. BMW = massively high quality....of that there is no doubt. You buy this that means you prioritize style over performance (though performance is a close 2nd). Guess what?? Maserati has got you. Grecale Trofeo. I'll take that over this all day long.

  12450. It utterly amazes me that dam near the whole planet informs and requests permission of the US for almost all wars
    1
  12451. At least you flatly admit this is purely about the US trying to checkmate an old enemy. Not about "freedom" or "democracy" BS. One Empire trying to crush another. Period. If Russia moved first, I'd be down 100% with Joe Biden. However, we moved on them first. We blew up the Minsk agreement, we made plans to put US Navy into Odessa, we have the Aegis Ashore missiles ready to move forward into Ukraine. WE are the aggressor. Fuk that

  12455. The 60 US "advisers" Joe Biden just sent is what really concerns me. When the proxy begins to falter, the US starts by sending "advisers"; that's now Vietnam started. If Biden wins , next year it'll be 6000 "advisers", then you know what comes next. Russia will go there: If Russia loses, they become the slaves of the United States. If Ukraine loses, they just go back to what they've been for 1500 years.

  12459. I like the script in the name badge---very 70s and 80s. Not feeling the whole "sustainable" interior material vibe----humans have used leather for longer than recorded history and there's a reason for that; for $150K I want the stuff proven for millennia to last. The car overall is attractive in a "this is what we'll be driving in the future" way; but I don't feel any real emotion about it. I personally would never buy this over a BMW i7 but I could see how some may throw a bone to Lucid for a 2 year lease. The buyers in this range are usually business owners that write these enormous lease payments off anyway, so to them its just a "what can I drive for $1500 a month" exercise.

  12460. NATO has been exposed as straight up incompetent. There is simply no other objective explanation. They thought it would be easy, and they were wrong. Disastrously wrong.

  12461. Ukraine got massacred last night in Robotyne Russia allowed them to enter the meat grinder, just like the last 5 times
    1
  12462. Robotyne is flattened. AFU is moving forward with 10 to 12 infantry, not worth anything more than an FPV drone or artillery shell. When AFU sends big stuff, RU responds with big stuff. Relax.
    1
  12463. Russia has captured an intact example of every NATO weapon sent to Ukraine. You name it, they have it. My tinfoil side sometimes thinks Zelensky is really a double agent and works for Putin. He is constantly asking for new NATO weapons which eventually become new Russian ones. This war has been the greatest military technology transfer program for Russia since 1945

  12466. RU should be running CAP in that Black Sea area, or at least a few corvette-class ships on a constant rotation in that area. Reminds me of "The Slot" at the Battle of Guadalcanal; US Navy constant patrol to prevent IJN ships coming down that path to attack.
    1
  12467. LOL. They don't have any missiles. 🙂
    1
  12468. Honestly, I believe Russian MoD more than I believe Ukraine MoD. Russia acknowledges it when Ukraine blows something up; Ukraine only does when there is 4K HD proof and they can't avoid it.

  12469. Biden sending heavy artillery to Niger. Ukraine Part Deux coming up.

  12470. Zelensky is learning from Prigozhin; tell your enemy what he wants to believe. The Ukrainians are coming soon; they have to. The Russians and their 300K reservists are waiting for them.

  12471. On Kyiv Times channels, there are a few that say this delay on aid "is just American politics" and "at the last minute it will pass". I really feel sorry for them. This isn't taxes, or economic policy.....this border thing is fundamental to our times. Ukraine will not come before the United States IN the United States.

  12480. Hahaha....yeah good luck with that. There are over 400 Western commercial airplanes that were in Russia on the day the SMO began. Their value is around $100B, and most of them are European carriers' aircraft. All Putin would have to do is repaint them and make them Aeroflot. 😂
    1
  12481. Russia has enough in the Arctic to last until the 23rd century; and enough grain they can give it away for free. This war isn't about resources for Russia, it's about them avoiding becoming just another US slave. NATO wants the resources

  12488. Unstoppable hypersonic missiles; they do not "elude" air defenses; they fly right past them at Mach 12. Nothing NATO has can stop a Kinzhal and when it hits the energy released is about 4 tons of TNT (about half that of a "MOAB"). Zelensky don't bother even ask Biden for anything to stop these as even the US could not stop them.
    1
  12489. I heard Biden already said "no"; because the logistics to train 150K soldiers can't be hidden. Russia would be dropping Iskanders on bases, supply depots, rail yards, anything and everything and they wouldn't care whose army it was from. US would absolutely start taking casualties and there would be no way to hide it.
    1
  12490. Yeah sure send 60K man army into a direct frontal assault on fortified enemy positions manned by an equal number of troops, who have ten gun barrels for every one you have and five times the shells, plus they have attack helicopters while you have none, and they have 800 jets while you have 87. That is not an exaggeration. No hyperbole. Ukraine actually tried that. The military history books will have a whole chapter on this battle 100 years from now.

  12491. "bi-weekly drone strike" ahahahahah!!!

    1
  12497. To Hell with Ukraine. Never was our problem or our war. Biden made it so...
    1
  12498. "The Pentagon unveils $1.3 billion for Ukraine, bringing total new U.S. aid this week to $2.3 billion." Over two BILLION dollars just this week alone in military welfare to Ukraine. Most which Russia will shoot down with S-300, blow apart with $25K Lancet drones, or simply turn on their jammers and watch the stupid things fall out of the sky like those worthless Switchblades. ENOUGH!
    1
  12499. Prigozhin had enemies in the Military, especially when Wagner shot down a helicopter and Air Force surveillance plane during his little "demonstration"; killing several Russian servicemen. Being a loudmouth, self-promoter showing up the Army was one thing---that just made them dislike him, however killing servicemen was more than they could stomach, many in the Military considered that unforgivable.

  12500. Is NATO sending Palestine weapons to help them resist Israeli dominance?
    1
  12501. Macron is not thinking rationally. There is no way to send French troops into Ukraine in a "non-combat" role; as soon as they get there RU will attack them. Even if France doesn't respond directly, when French mothers see their sons coming home in boxes they will demand Macron allow them to fight or bring them home.
    1
  12502. Not just Ukrainians. Vids on CNN and SKY from Sudzha clearly show Foreign Legion soldiers standing next to Ukrainian ones. Telegram channels show French and Polish wounded being transported back to Sumy to hospitals. Ukrainians are one thing, but all these NATO people who are there trying to subdue Russia deserve no sympathy; not their war, no reason for them to be there...."
    1
  12503. Russia isn't the one that spent 30 years lecturing others about "war crimes" and "human rights". That would be us....
    1
  12504. Trans people get hired all the time??
    1
  12505. I really wonder how long Zelensky can remain in power. Surely not 100% of Ukrainians believe that joining NATO was worth the destruction of their country and loss of hundreds of thousands of their citizens. All Zelensky had to do was go the route of neutrality two years ago and none of this happens.
    1
  12506. You can tell the tone in Western media has changed since the Fall of Bakhmut. Reality is finally starting to settle in ...
    1
  12507. Wow, Biden and Blinken want to start a war with India now too. US under Dems will soon have more enemy nations than friendly ones...."
    1
  12508. I hope the leaders in emerging parts of Asia, Africa, South America are watching and studying all this intently. If you plan to become one of the "big boys" of the 21st century, you better put 10% of your GDP into tanks, guns, drones, supercarriers, destroyers, subs, frigates, missiles of every kind, and a standing professional army. If things get bad enough, your "treaties" aren't worth the paper they are written on; if your "friend" needs shells to protect his own people, you won't get them at any price. Words don't mean anything; might makes right.
    1
  12509. I agree, but I felt this way 4 years ago with the ATS-V. What is so different about this that now Euro and Japanese snobs are taking notice?
    1
  12510.  @PropaneWP  Russia been playing with its food for two years. When the Sarmat comes out, that's when you know they are serious.
    1
  12511. the Cope is strong with this one...
    1
  12512. So new its never been tested outside of Boeing's test range?? We know what will happen: For about two weeks CNN will run breathless Ukraine MoD vid of this blowing up Russian artillery, and Forbes will run an article about how its a "game changer". Then, things will go quiet for about a month, then in early March we will hear (from the blogosphere, not the Western Media), that Russia figured out how to jam/disable it, and they are now useless. Like the vaunted "switchblade" attack drones from a year ago, that Russia just jammed GPS in the area and the switchblades fell out of the sky like flies hit with a spray of RAID.

  12513. I'll apply; I can't do any worse than the ultra-lib know nothings that have been the sole voices there for years....

  12514. Great job, liberals. He probably got in the last time by "requesting asylum" (while in the Arizona desert).
    1
  12515. Is there any place in the US where the Black population gets a fair shake at all? I never again want to hear US lecture anyone at the UN about "human rights".
    1
  12516. We knew that when the T-14s showed up. They are there for only one reason: To destroy any Western tank that somehow manages to survive the T-80BVs, T-90Ms, and Kornet ATGMs. Putin's "emergency plan" if you will.
    1
  12517. Ukraine killed a RIA Novosti news reporter today with an American cluster shell. Putin said both Ukraine and the "one that gave it to them will receive the punishment they deserve". Ive been waiting for Putin to stop being so soft on US and UK. Probably going to be another Kinzhal on a hotel full of US Military very soon.
    1
  12518. I am stunned the Governor of Pennsylvania signed an artillery shell along with Zelensky the other day. The Democrat Party seems unable to keep its objective head when it comes to Ukraine; they behave as though Ukraine were part of the United States....
    1
  12519. If Ukraine makes a frontal attack on all that, they will die like flies. It really is that simple.
    1
  12520. LOL. Ready to be completely wiped out you mean? The leaked intel docs prove that US and NATO been lying to us all along. Ukraine can't win and has been getting its azz handed to it for a year now. Whatever. Negotiate a cease-fire.
    1
  12521. Two years ago I warned Biden not to fucc with Russia. When the Germans were crushing them, theyd rig bombs all over the town they left, some set for 30 DAYS later. They'd ❤explode killing Germans eating breakfast. Russia cannot be beaten on her own land. Crimea and the annexed lands are now Russia proper.

  12522. While everything you said is true to a great extent, I come to a different conclusion. There will be no "dark times" for the car industry----when consumer behavior changes, so too will the car industry. Americans buy far more car than they actually need (this has been true for decades) because for most people this is an emotional purchase. Their car is a totem for how they wish to be seen in this world. There are reasonably priced cars free of needless complexity available but too many consumers bypass them for something more complicated and expensive because it makes them feel better about themselves. 90% of people in a 330i would be equally served by an Altima (better even as the Altima is more roomy) both in terms of initial purchase price and long term running costs. Mitsubishi has been quietly selling about 100K cars a year in the US for the past 20 years; cars that don't cost much to buy or maintain and will run forever. Mitsu should be selling 500K a year based on those simple positive traits, but they aren't. Why? The options are there and have been there (and will be there in the future); people just don't go for them until economic factors force them to.

  12523. One for Bush, Rumsfeld, Rice et al too?

  12524. By Fall they'll be on display so little Russian boys can point at them and laugh. Duetsche panzer sind besser? Nyet! 🙂

  12525. Didn't SK send tens of thousands of 155mm shells to Ukraine last year (by sending them to the US first)?? Why they acting all surprised that their actions have consequences?

  12526.  @seoul_9584  (by sending them to the US first) English your first language, or no?

  12527. If that is "alien", we have nothing to worry about...

  12528. Ukraine knows who its audience is. US/UK dont care about "certain" civilians

  12529. Yeah, its pretty clear he hates CNN so much, he'd be willing to get sent to Valhalla if he knew CNN was coming with him....

  12530. I moved here 20 years ago and the exact same article was written about Frisco, McKinney, The Colony, etc. Now those places look like New York City. There is no way to stop growth because there is no way to prevent a person from moving where they want.
    1
  12531. My eyes MUST be lying to me. Is one of those "mobile anti-aircraft" platforms two WW1-era Maxim machine guns mounted on the back of a pickup truck?? My God. Ukraine is down to using 110 year old weapons; older even than Biden himself. After seeing this, Somali Warlords are frantically telling their underlings to call up NATO quickly and offer to sell their far more modern 60s and 70s era weaponry to Ukraine....
    1
  12532. Poles in 1612. Swedes in 1708. French in 1812. Germans in 1941. Now, the AmeriBrits in 2024 (whose proxy army contains Poles, Swedes, French, and Germans). I'm not European so this pattern makes no sense to me; what is the major malfunction Europeans have with Russians? Is there a reason Europeans keep trying to invade Russia???"

  12533. I'd vote for Snoop Dogg at this point. ANYONE but the senile old man being mind-controlled by Far Left extremists, or the traitorous dog of an imbecile.

  12536. No focus profile on any of the British mercenary soldiers at the cafe in Kramatorsk yesterday?? Oh? Is it too soon?
    1
  12537. Ukraine blows up a family of three; not a single soldier or military asset for miles and this is not a "war crime"? I'm sure the Kalibrs, Iskanders, and Kinzhals are being prepped at this very moment...
    1
  12538. I'm unscrewing every device I own that has either a radio or internet interface; just in case...
    1
  12539. Zelensky behaves like the rookie stateman he is. Go home and learn to live with your bigger and stronger neighbors like nations and kingdoms have done for 10,000 years. Running around the world begging weapons so you don't have to accept losses is the act of a "toddler" of a leader. Learn the art of statecraft; 50 years from now another big fish may threaten you and will you just run around begging again? The French lost a war and had to give up Alsace-Lorraine and didn't get it back until 45 years later. Zelensky and his nation need to "grow up" if they hope to survive.
    1
  12540. Interest rates just went up again today. This electrified stuff is going to sit on lots all over the place; Ford has $107K Lightnings piling up all over. At $30K to $35K this is a great option; at $52K with all that hybrid EV stuff no one will buy it. GM / FORD / STELLANTIS better read the tea leaves; half of Teslas are sold in California where the Tech employee/tree hugger crowd wants and can afford them. Everywhere else normal people live, they buy normal cars and trucks.
    1
  12541. "The Biden administration has quietly given Ukraine permission to strike inside Russia — solely near the area of Kharkiv — using U.S.-provided weapons, three U.S. officials and two other people familiar with the move said Thursday, a major reversal that will help Ukraine to better defend its second-largest city." May 30, 2024 "Ukraine has not violated our policy..." US State Dept, August 8, 2024. 🤣 I'm with Medveyev.....it's Avangard Time...."
    1
  12542. What's the problem? There won't be anyone alive to hit in 2046. AOC said we'd all be extinct by 2030 due to Climate Change. No worries.
    1
  12543. about the first smart thing he's done in this war; keeping his mouth shut. Remember how in January, 2022 he publicly goes on every day telling the world (and Putin) what he will and will not do for Ukraine? All of which he has now contradicted himself on? Never tell your enemy what your limits are. After 15 months of bungling mistakes, here's hope that Biden is finally learning.
    1
  12544. Even before the Israel-Gaza war, I felt this guy was a Nosferatu, for the glee with which he expends the lives of friend and foe alike. Now, after the past few months I realize I vastly underestimated him. If these are the End Times, and the Prince of Darkness himself walks the Earth; it is Antony Blinken that is the physical manifestation of that malevolent spirit on the mortal plane.
    1
  12545. That just makes me want one even more!!
    1
  12546. How do we know Israel didn't seed every country in the world with "devices"; just in case they one day need to "adjust some attitudes"???
    1
  12547. So, a big PR "invasion" then? To get some airtime on CNN/SKY/BBC??"
    1
  12548. Crudely put, but mostly correct. However Ukraine and Russia are about the same in terms of toughness; but yes in a place like Bakhmut, Russia would go through any NATO army like a hot knife through butter.
    1
  12549. I said a year ago, if Russia comes out of this on top, their history books will call him "Tsar Putin"
    1
  12550. Read between the lines: Biden isn't going to throw his DEM base, that wants unrestricted immigration, under the bus in an Election Year. Which means the GOP isn't going to vote the money. Just think about it if Biden caves; he loses a huge chunk of his base AND with no guarantee of a positive outcome in Ukraine, next September he could be right back here with Zelensky again begging for money after another $20B army is destroyed, and half his voting base angry at him for closing the border. GOP could run Mickey Mouse and win in a landslide....

  12551. Can't be everywhere, and Russia has so many D20 howitzers they don't even man them all...they just leave them deployed all over and they are crewed when needed
    1
  12552. You can get a loaded CR-V that is a luxury barge compared to this for $31K. The only reason to buy this is if you live in a State that throws another $2K to $4K on top of the $7.5K Federal money, that would make it cost equivalent to a loaded CR-V. Then you still would have a barebones car for the price of a loaded one. Only people with money to burn buy EVs...

  12553. Riiigghhttt.....even as Ukraine is in Sudan killing Sudanese nationals and Zelensky is assassinating rivals and delaying elections? "Never waver"...my butt....

  12554. Maduro is distracted and the State Department knows it. CIA money is now flowing in there like a fire hose...."

  12555. Ukrainian brigade near Lyman refused to go to the line of contact today. Mandatory evacuation of Kupiansk ordered as 100,000 Russians now have nothing between them and the town.
    1
  12556. I bought one in 2004; a 1991 with 65K miles for $30K. Nobody knew what it was but I knew I was driving a future classic. I would get up early on Sunday mornings and do 140mph runs on the new tollway near me 😂 Sold it in 2008 for $28K. I enjoyed it but dont miss it; it sounded great but was slow by modern standards. The seats were incredible, probably the best I'd experienced until 2017 when I bought a Jag XKR. I never felt the "telepathic" steering/handling of the NSX until I got an Alfa Giulia. The Giulia was designed by the same team as the Ferrari F8 Tributo, and possesses the same sensation of being an extension of your body the NSX had.
    1
  12557. No. Guided bombs, Iskanders, and Lancets are falling by the hundreds per day. What can some Bradley's and Maxxpro's do about that?

  12558. Biden should've had the US Marshalls arrest Trump 8 seconds after his swearing in was completed.

  12559. The Alligator flying in the background as Gerasimov walks.... Reminds me of 2023 when Shoigu visited the Front and the vid showed two Ka-52s escorting his chopper. 🙂

  12560. The new front end comes off better here than on the new A5; however I still don't think it looks "better" than the previous gen. The "Star Trek" interior is what it is; that's what everyone wants now so fine; but honestly I will not buy a car with so much screen entertainment until we have 100% safe and reliable self-driving. What is the point of all of it if I can't use it all unless I'm parked?
    1
  12561. That is eerily close to the Russian numbers I heard on a military blog channel; he gave the Ukraine estimate then the Russian one.
    1
  12562. Not just Ukrainians. Vids on CNN and SKY from Sudzha clearly show Foreign Legion soldiers standing next to Ukrainian ones. Telegram channels show French and Polish wounded being transported back to Sumy to hospitals. Ukrainians are one thing, but all these NATO people who are there trying to subdue Russia deserve no sympathy; not their war, no reason for them to be there...."

  12563. We are watching the sights and sounds of history shifting and changing. Zelensky is no longer in charge; Trump is....

  12564. Meanwhile three minutes online will find you a dozen Range Rovers near you in perfect running condition (most with over 150K miles) for less than $13K. Makes sense...

  12565. Keep doing what you think is "best for us" , instead of what we ask you to do and the "Taxed Enough Already" party may make a comeback here-----with a vengeance.
    1
  12566. The whole NATO idea that they could somehow arm Ukraine "just enough" to "deter" Russia was stupidly insane from the start. War is war and the point of war is to win. You do that by crushing your enemies without mercy or remorse. Biden thought he could just send some missiles and that would be enough; Russia would go back with their tails between their legs and say "sorry, you guys win". Pure incompetence at the highest levels of US leadership. In Russia, war means TOTAL WAR: lands denuded, cities in flames, millions of refugees, hundreds of thousands of casualties. If Biden and the UK didn't expect and plan for that, history will savage them for being among the worst military leaders ever. Rightly so.
    1
  12567. ...and when Russia destroys them as soon as they enter? What then?
    1
  12568. Ukraine delegation is smart to keep that little isht away from Rubio, or he'll blow the deal up again by running his mouth.
    1
  12569. That is true but we had stupid "rules" that made it impossible to win. Migs would shoot down our F-105s, then when the F-4s showed up the Migs would run across the border to safety. F-4s would watch as they landed, forbidden to do anything. Ridiculous.
    1
  12570. I think the Ukraine war is now a race for territory like in April, 1945. The Russians have to get as much before NATO comes in to save their investment (and prevent some of their own members taking chunks). When that happens everyone will face down, then talk, and settle up in negotiations.
    1
  12571. "...premium children..." 😀

  12572. Ohhh, our 40 year old Reagan Administration stuff can still move dirt with the best of them! Ya , whatever...
    1
  12573. When it does, what NATO gonna do? Forsake Ukraine??? NATO damn well knows Ukraine did it----they helped them do it! Just can't admit it or they'll lose Germany's support. Oh, anyone who still thinks Russia blew up the dam please raise your hand. 😂
    1
  12574. Russia won WW2...
    1
  12575. ...and Ukraine only 31,000 right? Why do Western Media focus so much on Russian losses? They don't care; the whole point of the West is to "weaken" Russia
    1
  12576. Zelensky plans to sell war bonds. That is perfect as that way only people who believe him can pay for his war. Good luck when that first interst payment comes due...
    1
  12577. It really is funny to watch all the Imperial "chickens coming home to roost" for Britain and France particularly. Beautiful really. Nature always puts things in balance, but she doesn't operate by human timelines so few live to see justice. We are seeing the blood and treasure France and Britain took for hundreds of years from these people, being returned to their rightful owners.
    1
  12578. Ukraine appears to have shrugged off their opening round struggles and all reports say they are attacking in several places at once along the entire front, the only place they are NOT attacking is-----you guessed it-----near Kakhovka. Facts. Make up your own mind. In any event this appears to be the "Grand Offensive" US/UK have been goading Zelensky to start so this will be the "Summer of Blood" NATO wanted. There is no "magic wand"; Ukraine is attacking heavily defended areas so we are all going to see how the $50B in NATO weapons do vs. Russian "shovels".
    1
  12579. The post-war picture is starting to take shape, if you pay attention to the disparate pieces. Ukraine has signed like 10 or more "security agreements" with individual NATO countries; France, Italy, UK, etc....even Canada. These agreements seem kind of "meh"; provisions to help with training, money and the like, but they have this open-ended provision to provide help "if Ukraine is attacked". Not sure what that provision means. Add that together with the public annoucements of Western arms manufacturers planning to build factories in Ukraine, plus the huge investments in Ukrainian farming companies by Cargill, ADM, Nestle, etc., "NATO" may not do much, but collectively a bunch of countries in NATO seem to be willing to risk the wrath of the Bear. Of course Russia knows all this, which is why it is building THREE MILLION drones a year----way overkill for Ukraine. We are probably going to enter a new 50-year Cold War II with a smaller Ukraine, Novorossiya left intact, and some kind of buffer zone between them.
    1
  12580. Of course they're lying! Biden and Blinken are not going to be deterred by embarrassing truths; theyll deal with that later long after they are out of power. Now, their goal is to destroy Putin. If they can do that it'll all be worth it to them.
    1
  12581. How?? I thought its mainly the US and some 50 year old promise to Taiwan keeping us dancing around the idea of war with them. How is China a threat to EU security???"
    1
  12582. "South Korea's spy agency" ??? Who the F believes this isht?
    1
  12583. I am agonizing over whether to buy this or the final year Camaro ZL1. Which do you think will be worth more five years from now?
    1
  12584. I know they'll never admit it was a goal, but will the US and UK ever admit that neutering Russia in the Black Sea was a "nice to have" by entreating Ukraine to join NATO?
    1
  12585. Oh yeah they were!! NATO behind all this; but Russia and Iran gonna tidy things right up...
    1
  12586. The last two weeks Russia has ruled the sky over Ukraine. CNN/BBC never show the video, but other news sites do. Guided bombs landing all over the place, Tornado-S rockets landing in front of and behind a train full of armored vehicles to trap it so it can be destroyed with ease. However, the Iskander hypersonic missile strikes are like science fiction, some of it looks like orbital bombardment by an Imperial Star Destroyer.
    1
  12587. Just the body language of Zelensky is different than we've ever seen before. He is so used to the US just flying him in, he says a few words, and then Biden kisses his ass and sends him home with another $20B, that to Zelensky it is almost routine now. Harris did the same thing last night: bow and supplicate to Zelensky while parroting the same BS we've heard for three years now. Trump walks in and now Zelensky looks like someone who is about to be held accountable...."
    1
  12588. Ask yourself and be totally honest: Of the three, Joe Biden, Donald Trump, or Vladimir Putin....excluding nationality and just going by the merits of the man, which would you rather have as your leader?
    1
  12589. Telegraph never checks the validity of the footage they show, so who knows. I can't believe AFU would put seven guys in a vehicle for a run like that, even Ukrainians---fierce, but not known for their intellect----would not think that was wise. A bomb-laden vehicle on remote control much more likely, but as it didn't explode maybe just the vehicle itself. Even then they should know better. Those aren't parking posts to keep your SUV from knocking down the glass doors at 7-Eleven. Those obstacles are anchored such that even a tank can't move them; an armored car would-----do exactly as much as this one did----nothing..."
    1
  12590. I said back in March this war isn't going past 2023. US already is sending "armistice talks" signals via back channels because it is clear Ukraine simply does not have the military capability (especially in the air) to break through and decisively defeat a Russian army group anywhere along the front. NATO pushed Ukraine to start the offensive knowing full well it had a very low chance of significant success due to lack of air support. However the goal is to take and hold as much territory as possible to have a better negotiating position with Russia. This was the PLAN months ago----not a reaction to the failed offensive. Men on both sides are giving their lives to improve the post-war terms of their respective nation.

  12591. Another "war tourist" wannabe that thought he was getting on the plane to Poland??
    1
  12592. So what is a "woke" military? It can't be racism because a Tuskegee Airman just turned 100 last week and everyone (even White Nationalists) are high-fiving him. It can't just be women in the military because Demi Moore and "G.I. Jane" was 25 years ago. So what is it? Trans people? What's the big deal? Just put them in the role that matches their genitals before they changed them. If you are a trans "woman", you go in a tank. If you are a trans "man", no Special Operations for you. Easy.

  12593. New thinking is needed on this Ukraine thing. Those involved cant see anything other than keep doing what they did before....

  12594. Where's the apology to Russia for last week's plane shoot down, CNN??? I still haven't seen it, but you run a story on eggs.
    1
  12595. This war has proven what we all knew: "NATO" is nothing without the United States. We are about to vote Trump into office and at that point you can forget forever about us coming to rescue Europe from the Bear. Our sons aint dying for Ukraine
    1
  12596. Russia blew them out of the sky with ease within a couple of months. They are good, but fit for terrorists not a State-level military.

  12597. she didn't want him looking at her or touching her; she figured she could make it out on her own.

  12598. How is CNN so sure Ukraine was not involved?? Oh yeah, I forgot: because Biden Administration said so.
    1
  12599. "Off his meds" Civilization as we know it, is not very old----maybe only 300 years at the most at least in the West. Prior to the Enlightenment, most of humanity was cold and brutal. People like this simply would never have survived to adulthood in any society.
    1
  12600. I thought Iranian equipment was junk; why US so worried??"
    1
  12601. Ukraine is so convinced the US will save them they behave like they can't do math and see they are losing far more than they could ever gain militarily. Imagine they took the peace deals on the table six months ago instead of listening to Boris? 100,000 Ukrainian men still alive, they'd have exactly the land they do now and they could spend their energy on making a better future for themselves with no NATO in their country. Zelensky is like the Japanese Militarists who still wanted to fight even after two cities were nuked; unfortunately, Ukraine has no Emperor to overrule Zelensky.

  12602. What part about "America First" does he not understand? Joe Biden is gone; US no longer serves you, it now serves itself. 😂

  12608. Blinken and Austin are 100% NATO stooges, but they do not engage in speculation; the NK soldiers are there. However even they admit they don't know for what purposes; Austin said they are training on drones, artillery and trench-clearing. That SEEMS to indicate they will join the fight but so far they haven't. RU dont want to take a single soldier from the momentum in Donbass, nor from the huge army in Zaporizhzhia, it "looks" like they just dont have enough men to push AFU out of Kursk anytime soon. Maybe that's what NK is for? I never imagine the "human shield" idea but the fact the NK brought none of their own trucks, tanks, APCs, MLRS, etc. always make me doubt they there to fight

  12609. It means the two years of propaganda that NATO equipment is repurposed alien technology that is impervious to all puny human weapons has been exposed as the utter shyte it always was?
    1
  12610. Because that peace DID NOT include them getting access to the Black Sea and Sea of Azov. That's why...

  12611. I don't see anything military on that video; looks like someone's shattered SUV and we know at least two CIVILIANS are now dead by Ukraine's hand---not a single soldier. That sound like terrorism to me but we know CNN will never call it that. Oh, and that video was taken from a train which was passing by on the clearly undamaged rail part----the part most likely to be used for military purposes. Imagine Russia bombs I-94 on a Monday morning....may happen sooner than you think.

  12612. Ukraine is just a running joke now. Losing all along the front, sending random units to certain doom in PR attacks.

  12616. German media outlet DW was filming yesterday in a Ukrainian training area near Donetsk when the whole area was cluster bombed by the Russians; they could see wounded Ukrainians and their cameraman ate some shrapnel as they sped away from the area. Great job, Biden!!!

  12617. GOP never has been on the Ukraine War bandwagon to any significant degree. They went along for two years for political reasons, but now "the politics have changed".

  12618. Ukraine had 23,000 casualties in January alone

  12619. LOL. "Anti-war" doesn't mean "Yes, NATO come on right in and park your missiles and Navy in the Sea of Azov to threaten me and my children for the next 100 years"

  12620. Meanwhile my 2017 Alfa Romeo has a horrible reliability reputation but here it is at 92,000 miles and never, not even for one day or one hour, has the ZF transmission been anything other than perfect. You get what you pay for!!

  12622. Usually with a new car that is because you put some cheap ** gas in there. Four years ago I did my first road trip in my Giulia and the CEL came on after I stopped at some hillbilly gas station in Little Rock to fuel up. The engine began running rough before my wife even got back from the restroom and I was like "WTF?". I figured it was the cheap gas so I didn't worry at the time, we hit the road and at highway speed the roughness went away and about 30 minutes later the CEL went out. Never happened again because I only put gas from Shell, Exxon, or Valero in it, no "wholesale" gas like at Quiktrip or something.
    1
  12623. Zelensky not used to a country of laws, he is just a puppet that gets his way in Ukraine. Biden doesn't have the authority to start a war with Russia. I knew this would be the result, Biden would have to go before Congress to get authority or he could start the war and have 60 days to get authority. But there are only two justifications: 1. Previous authorization or 2. We are attacked. Presidents can't start their own wars.
    1
  12624. RU only on defense in Kursk front, in Donetsk they are on an offensive rampage just as they have been all year. Whatever "tremendous success" is, they only had it; their invasion force is stuck inside the "bulge" and only in a couple areas can small units pierce the cordon around their main body. This is because the AFU force is about 25K to 40K strong, while the Kursk Army Group stationed in Kursk is about the same size. It has been even the last few days which is why neither side can really change much. That won't last as every second thousands more RU troops are heading toward the Ukrainian bulge; once RU outnumbers them it will be ggwp...."

  12625. Just capable of pizzing Putin off even more, like all the other "game changers" that have failed. Ukraine tried a "D-Day" in Kherson today and got massacred; their soldiers mowed down like grass. ATACMS cant help that.

  12626. When Wagner was engaged, this war was entertaining as hell...

  12627. Personally I'd just get the Dodge Hornet with simple, powerful engine and more "muscle" aura. However, in the bougie areas with the trendy shops, the trophy wives, and the hipsters that carry murses, this will be like catnip to them. Alfa is the brand now for the trendsetter, BMW/Audi for the anonymous masses.

  12628. CNN said "game changing"; Harris is doomed....

  12629. Of course Russia will reject this, the question is will they make a counter-offer. If so, that mean there is a light at the end of the tunnel and this time it isn't a nuclear detonation as under Biden, this time it----actually the end of the tunnel.
    1
  12630. I've never been more convinced Joe Biden is not running the country; someone (more likely a small group of someone's) else is. There is NO way he has the cognitive capacity to orchestrate or manage this many nations jockeying around open warfare. There is a small chance that person or group is not even American.

  12631. That looks like Anakin's engine after Sebulba threw a wrench into it... Glad everyone is OK.

  12632. Yeah right. No one on the earth can move 1 million people in 24 hrs. This just posturing so the historians will be able to say "Israel gave warning before killing 500,000 people".

  12633. So? What bad things they do to you???

  12634. Vicky Nuland "resigns" , rumors from Kyiv that a general allied with Zaluzhny defects to Russia with his whole family, and now this. Someone or a group of someones is cleaning up the table before the music stops and the questions start
    1
  12635. TIME Annointed him almost immediately; a rash judgement as we now all can see. Imagine Biden and NATO talked in September 2021 instead of arming Ukraine and convincing Zelensky to fight. In what ways would the world today be WORSE off?? What does Zelensky have today that was worth hundreds of thousands of his dead countrymen, and millions of his people refugees?
    1
  12636. RU will simply escalate again, move vulnerable things out of range, and six months from now Zelensky will ask for ballistic missiles...."

  12637. 70+ (and counting) NATO personnel demilitarized in this strike---mostly Brits. How fitting...

  12638. There goes NATO doing NATO things....starting wars in other countries

  12639. Meanwhile, headline from news source NOT aligned with the Biden Administration: "The Russian onslaught has ripped Ukraine's counterattack attempts apart. Even advanced western weapons have failed to provide Kyiv with the desired results. Coming to Ukraine's "rescue," the U.S. is all set to begin delivery of Abrams tanks. However, the U.S. has made some changes to its Abrams tank promise to Ukraine. Originally, the U.S. intended to give the more modern M1A2 variants To Kyiv. But the Pentagon changed plans, opting for the older M1A1 variant. The "sensitive" technology in the tanks is also being stripped off before delivery. Washington reportedly fears that its tanks might be captured by the Russian Army."

  12642. No interest in DS. Just want to see what tech will be underneath our Dodge and Chrysler big cars after 2024. All that PSA Group hybrid and EV tech is why FCA merged with them to form Stellantis. Under the skin, this may be an entry level Dodge Charger in two years because 360 hp is far more than what the ancient Chrysler V6 puts out, and is almost what the 5.7l V8 Hemi puts out.

  12643. Oh, it will be.

  12644. What is ambiguous about "don't come into my domain and think you will be safe. Stay in your own countries and you'll have no problem with Russia. Come to Ukraine to hurt us and the Bear will go salmon fishing." Seems pretty clear to me...

  12646. Russia started their offensive two weeks ago. They were waiting on Ukraine to show their hand first, but became convinced Ukraine was waiting on F-16s. This is Ukraine responding to Russia's offensive

  12647. No proof Ukraine's story is true either, right?
    1
  12648. T-14 Armata confirmed to now be deployed. Russia is just waiting for any big move by Ukraine so they can crush it and end this unnecessary war.
    1
  12649. ??? It's a big story?
    1
  12650. CNN and its stupid, self-serving attempt to "protect" our tender eyeballs from the truth is exactly why no one trusts this pathetic rag to tell the truth about anything. Had to go to Telegraph to actually see the "outrage". Other than the IDF tanks and soldiers roaming around, you'd think it was some outdoor exercises as the men are bare-chested wearing only boxer briefs or training shorts.

  12651. ...yeah about 2027 Ukraine should be in Melitopol

  12652. There is a valid reason this is so difficult. The Arc of History always bends towards Justice, and this war is not a just one for America. We are not on the side of right in this, that is why we fail...

  12653. My biggest gripe with HyunKiaGen is the styling. Everything is a direct copy; this car copies Audi A7, Telluride copies XC90, GV80 copies a Bentayga, upcoming GV70 direct copy of Stelvio, etc. You guys mention that in your other Genesis vids too; the shameless copying. When you copy others to that degree, it undercuts whatever merits you may have; everyone sees your product and thinks "oh, that's just the cheap copy of xxxx". You say this feels like "a old BMW"; and it may be true but when I see it all I think is "A7 for person who can't afford an A7"...
    1
  12654. Not just Ukrainians. Vids on CNN and SKY from Sudzha clearly show Foreign Legion soldiers standing next to Ukrainian ones. Telegram channels show French and Polish wounded being transported back to Sumy to hospitals. Ukrainians are one thing, but all these NATO people who are there trying to subdue Russia deserve no sympathy; not their war, no reason for them to be there...."
    1
  12655. Please do not mix the Ukraine war summaries with the Gaza war. Anything to do with Gaza or Israel is triggering some kind of hyper-level suppression of comments on YT. I can't even make a post about the TOS-1A "Flamethrower" on this article without YT deleting it.
    1
  12656. I saw that RU increased the range of their glide bombs by-------making the wings longer. LOL. Even if the increase only 20 or 30 percent in range that is huge in terms of tactical advantage. I think most bombs were in the 60km range before so if they are up to 80 or 90 kms now, that is the maximum range of the latest model IRIS-T. HUGE tactical impact..."
    1
  12657. No, Biden and Austin really thought Russia would just walk away and quit if Ukraine blew up a few tanks (Milley has combat experience, I cannot believe Milley ever believed Ukraine could beat Russia).
    1
  12658. LOL this guy is absolutely historically tone-deaf virtually every time he makes a public appearance. Here he is accusing Iran of sending weapons to Russia (which they deny), on the same morning the people he has no problem sending weapons to bombed a tent encampment filled with women and children (and they don't even DENY it!).

  12660. Biden moved B-52s into the ME a couple days ago; joining like virtually every other warplane in the US Air Force arsenal scattered all around Iran. Israel has the most powerful Air Force on earth
    1
  12661. First it was 3000, then 5000, then 10,000, then 12,000 and today for the first time I heard 100,000 are in Russia already. They use civilian trucks to move around so the spies and satellites cannot get an accurate number. I love how all these Euro rags ask the same question: "how will the world respond" , they never ask "how will we respond".... Its always what will America do?

  12662. Kiev first, then Poland...

  12663. Proof that the margin between the US and everyone else is much smaller than it has been before in most of our lifetimes. I pray we get some future leaders who understand that a true King does not have to fight...."
    1
  12664. At this point, it is almost willful complicity for the Arab countries to not join together and send military aid to Egypt for handover to Gaza. The West is doing the very same thing in Ukraine so there is UN precedent. Defensive-only weaponry would not put any of them at risk of Israeli reprisal (oh Bibi will yell and scream but so what?). They CAN do more, they just won't.
    1
  12665. Those weapons weren't for Ukraine; RU hardly need them for Ukraine. Those missiles were meant to bulk up for NATO; that's why NATO made it a priority (Blinken publicly called it out 3 days before the attack on the arsenal).
    1
  12666. US/UK found the line; this will start a war and Russia been preparing for two years for this moment. They are ready. Problem for UK is only Congress can start a war, not Joe Biden. With US split on support and two months before election? Forget that...."
    1
  12667. No, it is far worse that that. Russia has not yet even used its 300K reservists called up in September for any offensive action. Once this Ukrainian force is weakened, Russia will counter attack in at least three places and there will nothing to stop them until they reach the Polish and Romanian borders. That's what's coming.
    1
  12668. I can't even keep up with the billions flying around worldwide anymore. The US has infantilized the Western world so much by handing out all these "free bombs", no one even knows how to take care of themselves anymore. Even Germany (Germany!!!), among the most powerful nations in human history, now feeble and weak because, like a parent allowing a young adult to live rent free in the basement until they are 35, they have no idea how to take care of themselves. This madness has to end. Vote Trump (as long as he is not in prison).

  12669. There are times I have to pinch myself how lucky I am. My wife and I together now 9 years and just two days ago I come home from work and dinner is on stove, plate set on table, candles lit, and I go in bedroom and she's in there all dolled up in heels lounging on the bed and smiles at me saying "hi baby, I'm so glad you're home!" Yeah, I'm luckiest man alive...
    1
  12670. Six months ago I hardly paid any attention to this war. It was only when US and Germany panicked over tanks I noticed and thought "whoa, I thought Russia was losing, why the sudden panic?" so I began to read other sources. I totally see why I was fooled: CNN/BBC/SKY simply do not report anything that is negative to Ukraine. They just completely leave it out. In just the past 24 hours, Russia has 1.Destroyed the Ukrainian Intelligence Directorate HQ in Kyiv. 2.Bombed the airport in Kyiv destroying many planes 3. Destroyed the Ukrainian landing ship Yuri Olefirenko in Odessa. In the #1 attack, the Patriot battery fired ALL 32 of its missiles and the Kinzhal still hit the HQ building. NOT A SINGLE WORD IN MAINSTREAM WESTERN MEDIA.

  12674. It is well known that for the entire duration of the war Ukraine hides its NATO weapons in civilian areas because Russia has already bombed all military bases. However, please continue to pretend to be shocked...

  12675. ...and the Ukrainian number is 1.1 Million 600K KIA , 500K wounded to the degree they cannot serve. The West fights very, very hard to keep from acknowledging Ukraine's losses

  12676. Being an assh0le is not illegal

  12677. Of course not. However they do need them to defeat (or at least deter) the United States. All others in NATO are easily crushed by Russia; only the US requires the "big stick" to keep it in check.
    1
  12678. NATO needs to start to worry about the blowback from this stupid, world affecting war of choice. Belarus is now a nuclear power, Iran will be soon and now has hypersonic missiles and the brand new Su-35s to deliver them. African nationalism is now uncorked; and Russia only too happy to fuel their long needed throwing off of the Western boot on their necks. Win or lose, this was has changed the world.
    1
  12679. I call the BS on both sides. This was no accident. There are reports Germany has OK'ed the Taurus cruise missile which can reach Moscow and a factory like this would be a perfect target for such a weapon. If that is true, Russia's response is going to be Apocalyptic. They dropped 100 missiles on Ukraine every time a drone the size of a lawn chair hits someone's condo in Moscow. If the Taurus is now in play....Russia will put so many Iskanders, Kinzhals, and Oniks in the sky it will blot out the sun...
    1
  12680. Imagine how Russia's MIC has benefitted from a bonanza of NATO weaponry captured. Yes, most of the armored vehicles are old, but the missiles and drones Ukraine is using are the same ones NATO armies use. Storm Shadow, SCALP, Switchblade, CAESAR, Javelin, etc. all first line NATO weaponry. ALL now on a table in some lab in Siberia. Thanks Biden!
    1
  12681. So this is the big "Spring Offensive"? That's what we paid $100B of our tax money for?? CNN has an article up on how Ukraine is getting really good at building IEDs. That's what our investment has come to: NATO is now a sponsor of an insurgency force.

  12683. They were. By Biden and Sunak.

  12684. What I don't get is why Muslim nations don't give Palestinians all their old tanks, guns, and trucks so they can defend themselves. Just like NATO giving Ukraine all their old stuff so they don't get steamrolled. Ukraine can't win but they aren't just getting pancaked like Gazans.
    1
  12685. How many casualties do you believe Ukraine has taken since June 5th?
    1
  12686. Yes! It is jarring seeing these young pretty women walking around talking, then the camera zooms out and they are missing arms and legs. Seriously? You already had EU membership, it was worth 500K dead and your appendages so NATO can use you as a staging area???

  12687. Wow every day I hear a different story about this Russian fighter shoot down; thats how shocking it is that Ukraine could shoot down a Russian plane.

  12688. Honestly, I really don't care who is on the DEM watch when their Ukraine experiment collapses. Kamala isn't the one that spilled the milk, so the inevitable criticism of how she handles the cleanup is irrelevant. Biden/Blinken/Nuland. Those are the three names we'll never forget when it comes to this debacle."

  12693. Zelensky cancelled elections in Ukraine because he says "you can't hold elections during wartime". Oh really?? Russia just had one and broke records for voter turnout. No mass shootings or attacks on the seat of Government like we have in the US.

  12698. I can handle seeing soldiers get it but this I cannot stomach. There are no "rules" any longer in this "rules based order" , as every single one of them is broken by the very same people who created them. Remember a million years ago when "cluster bombs" were banned?? Now, they fly around on all sides like popcorn. It may not be divine, but an Apocalypse is coming. When there are no rules, there are no limits....
    1
  12699. 600+ casualties including the Swedish mercs training them on AWACS. Precisely why Biden refused to send US contractors into Ukraine. Zelensky fired his cabinet (or they quit); this is over. Biden must step in and make Zelensky obey....."

  12701. A couple just driving along with their daughter now dead and the child injured and Ukraine claims responsibility. Not a single soldier or military vehicle in sight. Sound like terrorism to me...

  12702. Kinzhal destroyed the Patriot battery. Better not stand near any military targets...
    1
  12703. I've watched this channel long before this war so it saddens me a bit that Simon basically is a NATO warmonger. The ignorant CNN types are too, but they don't know any better. This guy is a historian so he should know that Russia has to fight as if her national life depends on it because it DOES. The US wants Ukraine in NATO so it can put Aegis Ashore missiles, currently in Poland and Romania, into Ukraine. As recently as 2019 the US Navy was issuing contracts to repair and expand naval bases in Crimea. To what end? SO THE US COULD PUT LAND BASED AND NAVAL MISSILES UNDER THE AEGIS COMBAT SYSTEM JUST A FEW KMS FROM RUSSIAS BORDER. Even if you hate Putin, as a historian you know that is aggression. Those are facts, the only speculation is whether they are to be "defensive only" as US argued. You may believe the US, but you lose credibility if you argue Russia should or would believe the US. THAT is why Russia fights to the death. They are fighting to remain FREE.
    1
  12704.  @papaaaaaaa2625  Which fact did I recount that was "nonsense"?
    1
  12705. History repeats itself; exact same process USA had in Vietnam. In 1965; the US Army had to turn people away, so many volunteered to "halt the spread of Communism". Five years of brutal warfare later, on Dec. 1, 1969...the draft. By the time the war ended in 1975, Americans were burning their draft cards in public view in every major city. The People of Ukraine just have not reached "1975" yet...
    1
  12706. That's why the US spent $1B in one night to stop about $2M worth of drones and old missiles.
    1
  12707. LOL. At this point, based on Biden supporters' nearly two years of constant retorts of "Russian troll", Putin must have the better part of 500 million souls working for him. 😂😂😂
    1
  12708. What really makes me sick to my stomach is that those of us in the West who disagree with this entire course of action by our "betters" get our comments deleted. Get shouted down. Get called dirty names like "traitor" etc. (when we swore no Oath to Ukraine, or to NATO).... We thought we had "Freedom of Speech" here in the United States, but we do not. We must go along with whatever foreign policy goals the Administration in power says we must or suffer. In that, we are no different than those they seek to destroy.
    1
  12709. They wanted it intact. Stupid ass Biden shouldn't have had it there anyway.

  12710. Zelensky just keep feeding Ukraine's young men into the meat grinder. Soon it will be teenage boys...
    1
  12711. Who worries about snobs because you drive a "base" Corvette?? 99.995% of the humans on the Earth would LOVE to be able to have a "base" 'Vette! I bought a '14 C7 1LT the only option was active exhaust. For years 0-60 blasts rowing through the gears, and hearing the cam profile change around 5800 rpm when I'm boring a hole through the air at 110 mph had me laughing like a little boy playing with his toys. $58K out the door. I passed on the C8 because for me, no stick = no point.
    1
  12712. Shoigu said today via Russian MoD that Ukraine has lost 444,000 soldiers so far in the SMO (did not break down KIA/WIA). Who knows, maybe Zelensky was right and they have 31,000 KIA and 413,000 wounded/missing. Either way it explains why Zelensky need 500,000 more...
    1
  12713. By Western standards maybe. However, his missiles aren't and ultimately that's all that matters.
    1
  12714. Nice to know that Joe Biden's support of blowing 20-story apartment buildings full of men, women, and children to dust has his "rock-solid" support. Odessa and Kharkiv will soon see a lot of images like this; make sure remind Biden what his response was at that time...
    1
  12715. I'm laughing in the first five minutes... "Organized withdrawal"? When we all clearly see troops running, vehicles abandoned, ammo and documents left behind? "17,000 dead", when The Telegraph the day after said "17,000 casualties" and Mediazona (pro-Western) estimated 7,000 Russian KIA since October? Anyway, I'll stick to agreed facts. You DO get one point for at least mentioning Ukraine shelled civilians mercilessly for a decade from Avdiivka; as a partisan that must have been difficult for you. As a historian, surely you know Russia's ability to absorb punishment and still win. Yet, even in your wild 3 minute "what if" to solve the shell dilemma, you never once accounted for Russia's reaction to such moves. Just last week they got a shipment of 400 Fath-360 GLONASS guided rockets from Iran, and you know what NK is capable of in terms of ammo. You know in your heart this is unwinnable, but you won't say so. Why?
    1
  12716. The US and EU will forcibly remove Ukrainian men, to send them back to sit in a trench so Storm-Z can kill them? Wow? That is DESPERATION for sure!
    1
  12717. Video online now showing Ukrainian border guards using drones to hunt down Ukrainians fleeing conscription into the army. Lots of chatter too about big rise in theft of NATO weapons and general corruption. Ukraine is beginning to crack under the pressure of Russian massive assault AND US having to prioritize saving Israel over saving Ukraine.
    1
  12718. Ukraine has long hidden their NATO weapons inside schools, hospitals, shopping malls....but so far no churches (that we know of).
    1
  12719. especially your comment. Someone prattling on about imaginary "bots" should be ignored.
    1
  12720. France, UK and US are the most belligerent because they have the most to lose by Ukraine becoming neutral or going back to Russia. Italy don't care. Greece don't care. Spain don't care. Hungary don't care. France has huge farming leases in Ukraine. US and UK had huge plans to build naval facilities for their ships in Ukraine along the Black Sea coast. All that is lost if Ukraine loses; that is why those three can't allow a negotiated settlement.

  12723. Reason #5,654 why the West is weaker than it has ever been; it has been at peace too long. The MIC simply builds multi-billion dollar stuff, shows it to the brass, and the government buys it. Then it sits unused for 20 or 30 years and when they finally use it, they fight tribesmen and farmers with it and think "this is awesome!". Then they send it against a real opponent and it gets slapped away like a rude toddler...

  12729. Imagine Biden and NATO talked in September 2021 instead of arming Ukraine and convincing them to fight. In what ways would the world today be WORSE off?? What do we have today that is worth 300,000 dead people??

  12730. So Ukraine wants to bomb drone factories in Syria and Iran now? They say they'll do it even without Western weapons? I say give them a few missiles to attack Iran. Please. 😂

  12734. We all who read here knew this would happen one day, we just didnt know when. Russia defeated two of the largest armies in history, Napoleon and Hitler, on its land. For Biden to enable this war was recklessly ignorant. We have to hold him accountable politically; this cannot happen again in our lifetimes.
    1
  12735. Yes, yes we know this. Austin went to Kyiv last month and told them to build defenses around Kharkiv just like Russia did last year. The problem is Zelensky and Zaluzhny want to try again next spring with a million drones and robots to make up for the fact they don't have enough men, tanks and guns. They have both lost their minds
    1
  12736. God I love watching Russia make NATO (especially the US and UK) look like fools. I grew up watching Rambo movies and hating all things Russian. Now I want nothing more than for Russia to shove its massive Bear pole right up NATOs arse. Life is strange 😂

  12740. Biden gonna back down. He can't start a war with Russia without Congress so to do something that Russia may consider an Act of War, he at least has to go before Congress and justify the risk of war. Biden not going to do that 2 months before election..... Or, he'll give the satellite target data to UK and only the Storm Shadow can be used.
    1
  12741. Back in February, I figured there would be Armistice Talks by September; Ukraine would blow its wad on all the Russian defenses and NATO would be like "ok, that's it...get the best deal you can". Even NATO expected some form of this: the Jeddah meeting was planned by Biden from March; he expected the Leopard 2/Bradley combo would destroy 10 T-80s with each shot and Russia would be embarrassed and on her knees by now. Well that aint happening either way; this is going into 2024 and its clear Ukraine doesn't have the ability, and Russia doesn't have the desire to deliver some "Battle of Berlin" style knockout blow. The Russian advance in Kupiansk is meant really to cause Ukraine's advance in Zaporizhzhia to pause and consider its tactical position. If Ukraine goes hard South, the Russian pincer may close in behind and trap them. If they pivot to meet the threat to Kharkiv, the south is safe for another winter and Russia just puts 1000 more tanks and guns into Zaporizhzhia and waits for the next "Spring Offensive". This warm like most wars, only ends at the table.

  12742. He is "anti-war" , not "pro Russian surrender to NATO domination". Two VERY different things.

  12743. UK leaders are not reliable when it comes to Russia; it is too personal for them. They hate Russia so much they cannot analyze it objectively so their decision making is always flawed.
    1
  12744. Maybe in 2022 I would have believed Ukraine could mount missile attacks into Russia. However now? Ukraine has barely any trained men left. Their cities in ruins. Railway stations destroyed. Bridges dropped. Power out for 80% of the country and NATO expects us to believe these new "into Russia" attacks are done by AFU???
    1
  12745. What is Biden's plan if the offensive doesn't change the status quo? Just like at Kursk, the Russians know the enemy is coming with individually superior weapons, but the Russians have the advantage in manpower, shorter supply lines, superior numbers in artillery, and parity in the air. This meant disaster for Germany in 1943; what is Biden's plan should it be a Ukrainian disaster in 2023? Send in the US Army as he has desired to do all along?
    1
  12746. Only Congress can authorize a war with Russia, not Joe Biden….

  12747. Everyone involved is Ukrainian, but its a "Russian plot"?? When this war is over, West Media will have a hard time learning to think for themselves again

  12748. That looks like a fun car but that charging stuff would make me so angry I'd turn into Surtur and use a big flaming sword to destroy the Earth... NO THANKS! I'll be driving my '17 until 2037 it seems.

  12749. A lie. The men who saved us from speaking German or Japanese were NOT men like this; they were the mechanic down the street, the paper boy, the teacher, kids fresh out of high school, etc.

  12750. IDF isn't taking chances. Their tanks have "cope cages" installed over the turret to ward of FPV drone attacks. Smart.

  12751. If I were Putin, it would be time to target UK infrastructure. Every missile that hits Russia proper, same number will hit UK proper.

  12752. Western media is just vile. Russian money is building highways, pipelines, bridges, etc. in many African countries. Yes it is to build markets for their resources, but the richer their clients are, the more they can sell them. What does the West do? Rape them and then preach to them about LGBTQ "Rights"...

  12755. The you-know-who chosen ones have gone to "Plan B": if they get voted out, just make sure Trump believes Iran is after him and he will do what they could not. Trump is so predictable a 6-yr old could play him like the piano....

  12756. LOL. "Counteroffensive" with gains measure in hundreds of meters, far from an actual defense belt; and 7500 casualties in 10 days for Ukraine. Yeah, keep it up....no army left by July 4th.

  12757. Ukraine's people are discovering the madman is inside Kyiv

  12758. Yeah, its pretty clear he hates CNN so much, he'd be willing to get sent to Valhalla if he knew CNN was coming with him....

  12759. Russian MoD put out a detailed summary of the SMO so far. According to them, Ukraine has taken 383,000 casualties (killed and wounded---they didn't break it down) and FIFTY-FOUR countries have sent it assistance, military and non-military totalling $203 Billion (higher that Ukraine's entire 2021 GDP). So there's the other side; US says Russia has taken 315,000 casualties, blah blah. Personally I think the information from Russia MoD is exactly as believable as that from the Biden Administration (Turkey's Erdogan said he trust NATO and Russia exactly the same). There ya go.
    1
  12760. All the major points: NATO not having capacity for WW2-era shell usage, most EU countries have hundreds of modern tanks "on paper", but due to decades of neglect none of them could put even 100 into service within a year, etc., were pointed out by ex-US intel agent Scott Ritter online back in August, 2022. It's all there on YT to watch; it is kind of scary that he reported all this months before we knew it. However, the gut-punch is our leaders knew ALL of that too; they just lied to us about it until they couldn't hide it anymore.

  12763. How many will it take before we realize it is us, we Americans who have caused this?
    1
  12764. At this point NATO is basically removing the "proxy" completely; they aren't even hiding it with US Global Hawk providing targeting data and UK Storm Shadow the strike package. Russia has stated clearly for over a decade, they will use nuclear weapons to prevent loss of Crimea. So, either NATO doesn't believe them, or NATO believes it can "win" a nuclear war with Russia. As a child of the 80s, that terrifies me, but apparently a new generation is now in charge of NATO and they see things differently. I hope they are right.

  12765. As an American who watched this beggar fly into our country regularly (on OUR planes), strut-walk into our Congress, say a few words, then walk out with a check for $10B of our tax money, seeing this little slug on his knees is a wonderful President's Day gift. :-)

  12769. Just warming the Left up so they won't complain when their kids are sent to Donbas. Media propaganda to make this merc trash into a "hero" so when its their son being blown into particles by a TOS-1A thermobaric shell, they'll think he died a "hero" too. When your daughter is captured by Wagner will you consider them to be "heroes" too?
    1
  12770. Let's all put some money in on what heretofore unknown "weakness" on the Abrams is about to be discovered over the next month. My guess is the rear. In Iraq, the jihadis were able to stop the Abrams by hitting it on the rear deck, damaging the turbine engine and immobilizing it, with a 12.7 mm DShK round fired from rooftops or windows above as the tank passed by. Just a few years ago, ISIS hit an Iraqi Abrams in the rear TURRET with a Kornet ATGM and it turned the whole tank into a volcano killing everyone inside. Where you think the Russian FPV drones will aim when they see an Abrams?? 😂😂😂
    1
  12771. US only sent 50 Bradleys to Ukraine and by confirmed count over the past four days at least 20 are clearly destroyed. There are so many shattered Bradley hulks near Tokmak sector that Russians have started calling it "Bradley Square" 🙂

  12774. EU invested a fortune in Ukraine from 2015 onward. Farming leases, mining rights, gas storage, etc. Over the past two years Zelensky, having nothing to offer, traded Ukraine's entire future economic output in exchange for all these security agreements he has recently signed. Those signatories HAVE to meet their obligations now so that means they are going to go right up to the brink of open war with Russia. Its going to get worse before it gets better...."

  12778. Get your sons and daughters ready. You know that's next after the F-16s do nothing but become more targets for the S-300. Biden is already laying the groundwork. Imagine what those Wagner convicts will do to pretty American female soldiers after they storm a building and their blood is up and find-----Amber and Becky there on the machinegun that killed three of their mates??

  12782. NATO took him out. The whole of NATO shaking in their boots about Belarus for a month. Then Wagner shows up in Africa about to stir up the greatest smashing of the chains of Empire in 80 years, and you think "peaceful" NATO is above hiring assassins to take Wagners leaders out??
    1
  12783. Turns out the slick powerpoints, animations, and glossy decks from the guys in $1000 suits aren't worth a damn once the bullets and brain matter starts flying. Russia has crushed the 80 year old myth of "Western Superiority"

  12784. These NATO sons of hoars are really going to do it. They are going to start WW3

  12785. The propaganda mill on both sides is hyperactive today. Putin at BRICS, and just one hour ago Zelensky in Kyiv announce Military has requested a new round of mobilization, Robotyne seems to change hands every other hour, and now Prigozhin is "dead". Even God can't tell truth from lie today...
    1
  12786. Ukraine's leaders play a risky game with such obvious displays of callousness towards the lives of their soldiers. When the Italian 8th Army went to Stalingrad, they were very confident in spite of deep shortcomings (that would doom them later). They were destroyed so badly by the Red Army, not due to cowardice, but to poor leadership at every level including Mussolini. When the survivors got home, they were so PO'ed they formed the core of the opposition that later brought down Mussolini.
    1
  12787. This war can't end with a negotiated settlement as no one even knows who really can speak for Ukraine? Is it Zelensky? He has no power other than that which is given to him by NATO. So its NATO then? Who in NATO exactly? Biden? Stoltenberg? They just control the military power; they have no political power over the people of Ukraine. There's no one person or body that controls Ukraine's political and military capacity for war.

  12788. This American of age 48, who voted DEM for 30 years, is voting Isolationism for the rest of his life (or until the DEMs remember who they used to be).

  12790. Ukraine has no President, its army decimated, it has 150K conscripts it can't train. The weaker Ukraine gets, the more belligerent and louder France and UK get. As the puppet falters, those holding the strings rise to take it's place
    1
  12791. It is thriving; Crimea, DPR, LPR etc. all voted three years ago to be Russian Federation. Very democratic
    1
  12792. Right. A year ago you had a settlement you were willing to accept and only when US/UK told you they'd help you win did you say "no". Now its "a matter of life"? Yeah, YOURS, because you know what your people will do to you if you lose when you could have avoided all of this.
    1
  12793. Ukraine fired at least 12 Storm Shadow missiles at the bridge between Crimea and Kherson yesterday, and every single one was shot down by Russian air defense in Crimea. I know this is true because if even one missile had hit that bridge, CNN would have had it on their page for the last 12 hours with ten different "experts" analyzing the damage and stories on how Putin has been "weakened". The only thing CNN has had on its page about Ukraine all day is an article about Poland shaking with fear about Wagner. 🙂
    1
  12794. Our Navies are fully stocked; Ukraine has no navy so we haven't bled our seaborne strength for them. Air Force is likewise good to go. If beating China somehow requires Javelin missiles and 155mm shells? Time to negotiate.

  12795. Mr. Putin: "Hey Xi my man, how many warships can you build in a year?" Mr. Xi: "Sup Pootie, bro we can push out 50 or more in a year if we ever really needed to!" Mr. Putin: "Awesome! I'll need 10 new Steregushchiy class corvettes fast. They the only ones fast enough to fight those dam sea drones UK gave those little azov ishts, while still big enough to carry missiles for the US and Royal Navy!" Mr. Xi: "Of course, no problem at all. How will you be paying this time?" Mr. Putin: "In rupees man! I'm getting a flood of them for all the oil I'm selling!"

  12796. Kim doesn't practice "regime change"; he just wants to be inoculated against the US trying to regime-change him. As the world saw in Ukraine, mines, ditches, bunkers and walls are very good at slowing and wearing down an attacking force. Kim's only real weakness is in the air, and with the new S-400s and Su-35S' they are about to get, that is now secure as well. Putin said he could play the "send free weapons to your enemy" game just like NATO, and Putin always keeps his word.

  12800. Strangest election in my lifetime. There are literally two wars going on where the parties are waiting to see who wins before they attack, because the US is the arsenal of one side and the two candidates differ significantly on their view of the wars. You won't find an analogous situation in military history over the past 500 years.

  12801. Stop deleting it YouTube. Russia beat NATO.....trying to suppress it won't change history..."

  12802. This is hilarious cope. For every nation in Eurasia they lost influence in, they have gained two nations in Africa. Far more natural resources and growth potential. Putin will not live to see the full measure of the benefits Russia will reap by winning this war; future Russian historians will call him "Czar" for what Russia will be in 2074.

  12810. I think that if NATO promises to stay out of Ukraine forever, Russia should retreat from Crimea and the Territories ( but the people of the Territories get some kind of autonomy ) That is a fair end of the war to all parties.
    1
  12811. The Russian meat grinder doesn't seem to have been affected at all
    1
  12812. What else could Zelensky do really. Time was not on his side; if they sent this last offensive force to any of the active fronts, it would only slow, but not stop the Russian steamroller at that front and then Ukraine would be defenseless as this force was reduced. Like another desperate leader, he has chosen the "Battle of the Bulge" option. AFU gathered all its remaining offensive power and hurled it at one spot; hoping to capture something valuable enough to get more favorable terms in a war they know is unwinnable. Precisely the justification for the original Battle of the Bulge. That one failed to achieve its meager goals; so too will this one...."

  12813. Are there still people who believe this war is just "Putin is bad man and wants to take over Europe, and we are stopping him by arming Ukraine to fight him first before we have to"?

  12814. US is paying all Ukraine public sector salaries and pensions

  12818. I don't know if they are buying them from Iran or North Korea (or both), but Russia CLEARLY has more Iskanders to use than ever before. I saw one fired at a single Ukrainian tank a couple weeks ago. Only the United States is wealthy enough to fire $1M missile at a single tank..... Something has changed; if RU has that many cheap Iskanders now......I mean those things are 1000kg of HE hitting at Mach 6 with 10m accuracy.... If RU has enough to use Iskanders like they are glide bombs this war is over yesterday ; the observation drones go as far as Lviv....insta-deletion of anything that far in is ggwp."

  12821. Whenever the camera gets close you can see the Hyundai roots. Dynamically the Macan or Stelvio would dance around this thing; if all you want is a comfy boulevard cruiser this would be OK. This appears to be what Wal Mart would produce if they made luxury cars: styling cribbed from the leaders, details that look the same from afar, nothing truly special. You can lease special for the same or a little more so why even bother with this?

  12824. Ukraine is demanding many more Western armored vehicles to replace massive losses. US media says they've lost 15% of Bradleys already; if US media says 15%, the truth is closer to 30%... Russia just sitting behind prepared defenses whittling Ukraine's army away piece by piece.

  12825. Maybe if US wasn't going to put missiles in Ukraine once it joined NATO? Maybe changing that course of action might help end the war?

  12831. US F-16s delayed (again) to Summer, 2024, no pilots are ready now anyway so it seems like a good decision.

  12843. Perfect example of why everyone said two years ago this was a waste of time. Training only teaches you how to take off, land, use your weapons; experience cannot be taught and a shooting war is a very dangerous place to get experience. Biden was right (for once) to say "no" to F-16s for years but eventually he gave in and look; not even in use one week, new pilot gets overwhelmed on his first mission with literally hundreds of missiles flying around him and he gets smoked. Sums up this whole war: the triumph of hope over reason by NATO."

  12847. War always gets nastier the longer they go on. Crying "war crime" now is like crying about the refs late in the 3rd quarter because you are down by 14; the bad calls have hit everyone the same. Everyone is committing a "war crime" now. Russia wants this settled by winter; the gloves have come off and we're going to see things we never thought we'd see. WW2 in 1940 was like Pre-K compared to what it was in 1944...

  12848.  @Soapboxstomper  Yes, but both sides are doing it, right? Last week Ukraine sent all those guys to shell hotels, houses, etc.? If both are doing it there is no point arguing it as you are arguing against yourself.

  12849. Look at California. Gave early release to tens of thousands of prisoners to reduce its prison population and now a tsunami of crime has made most cities in California almost unlivable. At least Russia got something from her prisoners in exchange for releasing them; California got nothing.

  12851. Biden administration and Ukraine have different goals: Ukraine wants to go back to 1991 at any cost, while Biden just wanted Russian army to bleed without WW3. If Ukraine somehow pulled it off and won enough battles to dictate terms at the negotiation table great. If not, and they basically are in the same spot as a year ago (but Russia has lost tons of tanks and men) also great. Either way great (for the US). That's why Zelensky didn't even speak tonight: Biden and Austin were explaining this to him----with extreme prejudice.

  12855. Only a few ultra-nerd historians can see it now; for the average "Joe' it takes years for historical perspective to be apparent. This war will be among the worst foreign policy disasters of the United States. The repercussions will be immense and will last decades, possibly even a century. In less than two years, Russia has obtained intact examples of virtually every NATO armored vehicle currently extant. Every anti-tank, and anti-aircraft weapons currently extant. Every artillery system, whether projectile or rocket based, currently extant. Most American combat drones currently extant. Not only that, the electronic warfare suite of NATO weaponry from the cheapest drone, to the most expensive missile are now recorded digitally for the next generation of Russian engineers to study. Only the US Navy hasn't had her "skirt lifted" to the degree the Army and Air Force has in this war. Russian weaponry in 2053 will trace their ancestry in propulsion, navigation, targeting, and avionics to lessons learned from the Ukraine war. Biden will be regarded on the level of Benedict Arnold in terms of how much of America's knowledge and intelligence resources he gave away in this ill-fated adventure.

  12856. History books will show that the Xi/Putin meeting last month was the official end to post-WW2 US Hegemony. Xi be like "Bro, wut the bleep you think you are going to do here?

You cannot win by force of arms alone; use your brains instead of your balls and plan for the 'long game'. Peace. Now."

  12864. Only the world media is yapping and 95% of them don't know isht, so it doesn't hurt Ukraine. It's mostly been Ukrainian soldiers and civilians posting all the vids that help confirm Russia's statements, but I admit that has slowed to a trickle the past few weeks. That was one signal Ukraine was getting close because they were arresting people left and right for posting videos of missile strikes on Kyiv. For example, Russia claimed last Monday it killed Ukraine Intel chief, Budanov with a Kinzhal strike. He's been missing for a week now. No vids. (This proves to me he is in fact dead).

  12866. Sad to see those young college kids; hopefully this is over soon so they can live the lives they deserve. Ukraine has been turned into a land of only men 20 and under, and 60 and older. Zelensky, the one who literally made all the decisions that now darken their future, still never once acknowledges his own accountability. He fires everyone else, but himself when it is he, more than anyone else responsible. He is no "leader"....."

  12869. A lie. Ukrainian nationalists (like Zelensky and this writer) make this common claim: "We are Ukraine, without us there is no Ukraine". It is propaganda; nothing more. A year ago, Zelensky had a negotiated settlement on his table; one that preserved 80% of his country and gave them a future to look forward to. He allowed himself to be convinced by US and UK diplomats that with their weapons, he could take whole by force, what Russia proposed to divide. (Diplomats who had their own agenda in making such an overture). Zelensky's faith in them was not rewarded.

  12870. Russia just waiting for them. If Ukraine rolls the dice at Bakhmut it will be a feint; what they really want is Crimea. That means Zaporizhzhia is where the real attack will fall and that is where Russia has 100K reservists and 300 T-90Ms waiting. Everyone knows NATO has nothing left to give; Ukraine will not use up it's precious new equipment taking Bakhmut rubble. They will attack in the South and Russia will destroy them.

Porsche has a blend already running in their gas cars from a refinery in Argentina; just need to mass produce it. In fact, the EU already has exempted ICE burning carbon neutral gas from the 2035 ban, so technically, Porsche (or GM) could build new gas cars in 2036 if they want.

  12873. Three weeks of attacking and entire Ukrainian army no further than where they were on June 1st. While thousands of bodies of dead Ukrainians fill the air with stench of death, and shattered Bradleys and MaxxPros litter the plains of Zaporizhzhia. Send the other 70% and Russia will kill them too. Time to talk

  12877. Sad that 80 years later, their own government is now trying to destroy the very country that contributed most to their success. By June, 1944 Russia had already destroyed three entire German Army Groups (of 2.5 million men), one Italian Army Group (of 900,000 men), and one Hungarian Army Group (of 235,000 men). US/UK fought the scraps that were left...

  12881. Literally, every military blogger has been saying Kursk was a stupid idea for weeks now. When it started even Ukrainian bloggers were angry because it took all the best troops and weapons away from Donbas, which has only collapsed faster now. There is literally NO DEBATE as to its tactical stupidity; there is a small amount of debate that it may possibly have been to hold the LNG metering station to somehow blackmail the EU countries getting that gas into doing something Zelensky wanted. That's it !

  12882. Yeahhh, lets just wait and see before the kiloton-yield "dogs of war" are slipped. Remember the "POW plane" and the "Russian" missile that all the victims looked toward Ukraine right before it hit? Zelensky has about a 25% accuracy rate when it comes to "see how bad Putin is" accusations."

  12886. Years from now, both Dems and Repubs will agree that Mike Johnson did the right thing by ending the funding to this disaster, saving many Ukrainians from the battles of 2025 and 2026 that now will not be fought as this thing comes to an end in 2024.

  12887. Total Biden CIA job from the beginning (as anyone over age 20 with more than two brain cells could surmise). The hands were Ukrainian, but the "brains" and logistics were CIA. I don't even blame Biden for doing it; Russia richly deserves some asymmetrical "payback" for 2016. Germany would never have done it; they were like a babe attached to its mother's teat and no such child would ever go against the mother that is giving it life. A third party had to rip them away and give them something else to suckle on before they'd ever go to war against their former "mother".

  12899. Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu on Sunday awarded the "Hero of Russia gold star" medal to soldiers who Moscow said had destroyed Leopard tanks and U.S.-made Bradley fighting vehicles being used by Ukraine. I wonder what the award will be for an Abrams? Some say the Leopard 2 is better than the Abrams, but the Abrams is American so its political value is 10x as much. When Putin shows an Abrams on a flatbed in Mariupol on its was to the tank museum in Moscow, the PR value will be priceless. I'd want at least 1M rubles if I were a Russian soldier.

I love the way this thing looks and drives----it is SO ITALIAN! :-) There is no "risk"; the FCA multi-air turbo engine is used in hundreds of thousands of vehicles the world over. The transmission is ZF. Just follow the maintenance schedule the car will run for 150K miles. Enjoy!

  12905. NATO people are so brainwashed it makes them sound stupid. Imagine Biden and Johnson did not give Ukraine $100B in weapons. Ukraine would remain demilitarized and neutral and NO WAR. Everyone on both sides of border chilling gathering crops and eating pasta with no issues. WHO really effed things up?

  12907. These seaborne drones had to come from the Black Sea direction, Russia controls the entirety of the shoreline of the Sea of Azov. Most likely place is Odessa, but Russia is watching everything in/out of there 24/7 from Earth and Space. We can't rule out NATO involvement; in fact it is more likely than not. Either Bulgaria or Romania could have been where these entered the water, if they can be traced to either or both that is where the hammer of retribution must fall.

  12914. Zelensky isn't going to stop, even if Biden loses and the US stops arming him. That is clear by his words the other day "we will be alone..."; he knows Ukraine may have to continue without NATO support which is why he approved total mobilization of 500,000 more soldiers by next Spring. Men age 18-60 and women too: everyone. Zelensky is beginning to remind me of the Japanese High Command in 1945 that was preparing to put 2 MILLION Japanese---men, women, children---on the beaches to repel a US invasion. The Atom Bomb saved these 2 MILLION lives (in addition to probably 300,000 American ones). In 2024 Putin may need to use a nuclear weapon to destroy Ukraine's NATO army, just so Zelensky can realize it is hopeless. Destroy 50,000 to save 500,000 sounds like Mercy.

  12919. Who has money on what Biden and UK will give to Ukraine in September when this offensive has used up all its combat power, half of the men are dead, and the Russians are still exactly where they are today (minus 20K or 30K soldiers)?? My money is on Arleigh Burke or Daring-class destroyer but it takes years to fight a US Navy ship so Biden will send two of them in fully crewed with US Navy personnel and Sunak will do his master's bidding and send a Daring class along as well.
    1
  12920. Meanwhile in the real world: US DoD now admits "Spring Offensive" has failed, is now planning for a restart in the Fall. The "Peace" summit in Jeddah, which was instigated by the US in March/April, and timed to coincide with what was hoped would be significant Ukrainian gains by now, will obviously either be canceled or be a waste of time. In other words, Biden hoped by now Russia would be on her knees, and Jeddah would be where he and his lapdog Zelensky would dictate terms to a humiliated Putin. I guess we'll all be back here in November after Russia has smashed all the Abrams tanks. See ya'll then! 🙂

  12921. Madatory evacuation of all citizens in Kupiansk, which unlike the farms Ukraine has "liberated", is an actual town of 26,000 residents. Ukraine Northern flank has collapsed and the 100,000 Russians pressing on the area for the past two weeks now have nothing to stop them before they reach the town.

  12922. Trump responded hours ago with a completely different view, he reiterated that de-escalation is the only path. What Biden has done is incredibly dangerous, more dangerous than if he'd done it a year ago. United States has two different policies; how can anyone know which to trust? Does EU go with Biden and then in two months the US backs out and they now left with no satellite data, and a pissed off Bear coming for them?

  12924. This is all fun to drink beer while jawjacking about but totally irrelevant as no one even knows what the weapon is or does. Russia already said this is US propaganda (and with our CIA and the Biden Administrations recent track record I believe it is too). So there we have it: CIA says "they want to put something harmul up there" and----that's it----that's all we know. Neil deGrasse Tyson basically undercut the whole idea objectively, which just leads back to the Russians being right-----this is just US propaganda.

Here they are equal to the European and Japanese brands.

Boring is a virtue in a vehicle like this; 5 years ago my kids were all 8, 12, 14 and the only time I paid attention to our Buick Enclave was when something broke. Me personally, living in OK where gas is cheap, I would not ever buy this because for $60K I can get an Enclave Avenir with semi-aniline leather and almost every feature GM offers.

  12940. Has Russia even lost a Ka-52 or Mi-28 these past three weeks?? I don't see how they could have as most of the time they are many km from the line of contact so Ukraine would not know they are even there. I've seen a few using rockets which means they are in range of manpads, but so far no evidence any have been lost in this offensive?

  12945. Putin is only saying that now because he feels confident the Endgame for Ukraine has begun. He is already "preparing the field" if you will for Victory. By acknowledging the cost, the sacrifice, he elevates the importance of what it is they sacrificed for. I can guarantee you, if Russia wins out, in 2040 there will be monuments and statues all over the Separatist region honoring those Russians who are dying at this very moment. That's what his words are about.

  12946. I'm totally anti-NATO and anti-Zelensky, but that is some really good video and a great example of asymmetrical warfare. Western Media like Telegraph never shows when it goes the other way, of course. Like two days ago in Kharkiv, some entrepreneur who specialized in drone repair put his advert up on the public internet about his shop. All fine, but apparently at some point, he put logos, imagery and language to the effect he also worked on drones for AFU. Yeah, on the public internet. Well Russia saw that and dropped an Iskander on his shop a couple days ago. If I can laugh at that (I did), I can accept the other side laughing at this. All is fair in Love and War! 😂

  12947. I'm 49 and the world is upside down. NATO is now an offensive militaristic organization bent on maintaining world domination and it's run by war mongering Democrats. The GOP and the Western right wing, are trying like the devil to avoid a bigger war. Unbelievable..."

  12950. In Norway today, Stoltengerg suggested Ukraine consider conceding territory in exchange for NATO membership to end the war. Both Kyive and Moscow said "bullshiyte!". Oh well.

  12951. Who is going to help the US invade Iran to put an end to the Theocracy and the nuclear weapons program? Bombs moving dirt around can't win a war by itself; to end Iran you must end its leadership. A nation of 90 million with about 400,000 standing army will require at least 1 million combat troops to defeat. How many can the UK provide?

  12955. It will be years before we know what really happened today (if we ever do). One thing is certain however; there are forces inside Ukraine that were prepared to attack Belarus the moment Russia fell (if such were to happen). Was this all planned to make NATO show its hand? Pure luck? Matters little now; Lukashenko is now aware that NATO is planning to come after him should his Big Protector ever fall. No choice for Belarus; they must mobilize as war is upon them.
    1
  12956. Yeah we know. The Stoltenberg side (US/UK/France) of NATO want to get what they invested in, and that is Russian Army destroyed and Putin gone. THAT is what they wanted from day one. They will never agree to any terms without that. However, Orban represents another faction in NATO (the ones that couldn't care less about dominating Russia) and for them, a settlement that avoids further war is desirable. So what will happen is Orban will (publicly) broker a potential deal, and he will make sure it is public so all the world can see it. That way, UK can't squash it with no one aware of it. Stoltenberg will then be put in a position to choose war over a reasonable peace in the eyes of the world.

  12959. LOL. They were trying to outdo Allen ISD from a few years back. This may have flown in 2020 with 2% rates, but today with 8% rates and crazy inflation. No way. By the time they finished it, the cost would be $125M.

  12960. No. You should take that fire in your pants to Ukraine where its needed.

  12961. So does this mean Biden is now going to give Zelensky the 1000 tomahawk missiles he demanded in his "Victory Plan", as we read about in the NYT?

  12964. I can't even keep up with the billions flying around worldwide anymore. The US has infantilized the Western world so much by handing out all these "free bombs", no one even knows how to take care of themselves anymore. Even Germany (Germany!!!), among the most powerful nations in human history, now feeble and weak because, like a parent allowing a young adult to live rent free in the basement until they are 35, they have no idea how to take care of themselves. This madness has to end. Vote Trump (as long as he is not in prison).

  12970. Its been leaked for days; he will demand NATO admit Ukraine immediately, so he can invoke Article 5. Putin will have to stop and negotiate with 32 countries instead of just one. That's his "plan"....

  12971. Biden said "Don't" to the Iranians, and now Israel. Neither listened to him. Why is he even included in news updates about this war?

  12972. I'll give the dirtbag credit, he tried to appear like he knew something about the law. Illegal drugs, no DL, but yet somehow you are 100% in compliance with State and Local gun laws? LMAO. I love, LOVE watching these thugs go from "tough guy" to "toddler" in just a few seconds. They are bullies; only "tough" until a bigger bully shows up. This one not only had extended mag, but there was also some kind of homemade shell catcher on his weapon (make sure no shell casings are left on the street during his next drive-by). Glad this thug didn't make it out of surgery.

  12973. Armenia asked NATO for "help" just like Ukraine and the answer was "no" so now they are accepting a cease-fire and negotiations. See how simple it is to avoid a war that destroys 500,000 lives?

  12974. What stopped you from going for two years already?? LOL. FEAR of the Bear

  12975. Russia already evolved beyond this low-rent way of war. Their new generation of "Pirahna" FPV drones dispenses with the pathetic wireless internet and uses a 10km single-mode fiber optic cable. Double the range and 100% un-jammable; one of them took out the first Abrams a few weeks ago. Whether Napoleon, Hitler, or NATO; Russia always wins.
    1
  12976. Russia better have 10 tanks for every one Ukraine is allowed to have in any armistice agreement. The United States will never honor any agreement for long. Just like with the Aegis Ashore missiles the US puts in Poland and says "oh, these are defensive only", America will ALWAYS try to find a way to destroy Russia.
    1
  12977. Wow, this really is a stunning looking vehicle. I mean it looks like what "cars of the future" were supposed to look like in 80s Japanese Anime. I also love how Lexus cars have Japanese cultural influence all over the place as their expression of "luxury" (unlike another Asian brand that---ahem---just copies everything from everywhere other than their own culture). The quality is going to be stratospheric as well; people coming out of a Mach E or Model Y will think the RZ was built by an alien civilization a thousand years ahead of humanity. This seems like the perfect "wifey-mobile" for people in places where gas is expensive.
    1
  12978. Ahh the Ukraine MoD. Assured us that there were no POWs on the plane, and last week the US admits it was a Patriot missile fired by AFU and there were Ukrainian POWs on the plane. Only a fool would believe anything coming out of Ukraine's MoD.
    1
  12979. Time to start analyzing post war world; no way in Hell Ukraine can push 750,000 Russians out of their holea in the ground. Zelensky will be killed or will have to live in exile. Ukrainian refugees will wear out their welcome wherever they are, so whatever rump state Ukraine exists, better be a safe and secure one or most of them won't return. NATO will learn a harsh lesson on the limits of its power and we will NOT have a war in Taiwan. Sounds better than the alternative

  12989. Biden only did this to spite Trump; to make it more difficult to stop the war sooner because now it'll be harder for Russia to take back Kursk, which they are committed to doing before any negotiations.

  12990. US intelligence learned months ago that Russia had stockpiled enough for 30 months of combat before the war started.

  12991. I'm the least "tin foil" guy you'll ever know----I do Financial Software----as "logic" a person as there is. Yet, the isht I've seen over the past decade has blown me off my comfy complacency couch. Every day I wake up, the news has headlines I never thought I'd see in my lifetime. Something IS up; I don't know what it is, but Russia is OBVIOUSLY a big part of it. At least "Putin's Russia"; the people they can change, so they have to get him out of the way.
    1
  12992. After seeing the tepid reception at the UN for Zelensky, the open disagreements with Poland and the clearly "defensive only" nature of Biden's recent aid package, papers all over the world openly wondering if war between NATO and Russia is just a matter of time. Why bother send Ukraine the weapons if you are going to fight Russia directly anyway? All these Crimea strikes are US Global Hawk for intel, and UK Storm Shadow for attack; just as NATO would do it themselves anyway. Putin saw this coming all along and that is precisely why he has taken the slow steady course with Ukraine. This has always been about NATO and Putin knows he is likely to have to fight NATO directly sooner or later. That's why the defensive-only posture all year, the 280,000 new recruits, the 145,000 draft just approved a couple weeks ago, the alliance with NK to ensure an uninterrupted supply of millions of shells and rockets, the restarting of the T-80BVM production line shut since 1997 (the only Russian tank with a turbine engine), the rapid evolution of the Lancet and FPV drones now being mass produced by the thousands, etc. Just add it all up and for Ukraine its overkill; because it isn't just for Ukraine. It is for NATO.

  12998. This "nukes in space" scare is so transparently a ploy to scare the population into voting this war funding bill, I have to believe those behind it truly believe we are all stupid. Yes, Russia has publicly stated there are military and civilian satellites that they know are actively working against them, but that is all they've stated. Our "betters", spin that into "nukes in space". All Putin would need to do is send a strongly worded letter to the civilian companies "your birds better go dark when over our territory, or we will make them go dark permanently". That alone will solve the civilian sat problem. The military one will take a bit more; how much depends on who owns it. Of course the toughest will be the US and UK ones; no letter, no matter how threatening, will stop them.
    1
  12999. Putin ordered Shoigu to end the war by 2025. MI6 has been warning Zelensky for weeks now the Russians plan to take Odessa and Kyiv (at a minimum). Diesel fuel suddenly got scarce in Russia a month ago. CBS News reported yesterday North Korean artillery shipments have begun, along with more Iranian drones. The 300,000 mobilized last September are now fully trained and equipped. The 40K Wagners are now in the Army Storm-Z units. Belaurs is ready. Putin is making this nuclear statement to the world for ONE reason: "Do not dare to think you can stop what I am about to unleash upon Ukraine, because I know and you know you can't stop me with conventional arms. If you think you can with nukes, think again."

  13010. Even US news papers like NY Times and Washington Post admit that Russia has negated most of the effectiveness of most GPS-guided US weapons. Storm Shadow is shot down now by Pantsir at a 90% intercept rate. What do you think will change?
    1
  13011. The Federal Government should really try to categorize these "suicide by cop" situations so we can get a clearer understanding of police shootings. Just from watching this channel, it seems 20% of police shootings the person WANTS to be shot.
    1
  13012. Westerners don't get it: Russia will never submit and accept NATO missiles in Ukraine. They'll fight to the death of every man in arms before that and if that's not enough they'll send their women. They took 300,000 casualties in two months in 1914 and all attempts by Germany to get them to discuss a cease fire were ignored. Victory will cost NATO lives, that is certain.

  13013. Hey, at least years from now Biden can say (with some modicum of truth), "Ukraine fell not because of me, but because of Trump and the GOP. Not my fault"
    1
  13014. LOL. Pantsir-S1 had Storm Shadow's number for over a year now; back when AFU had them, they'd have to send 10 to Crimea to get 1 or 2 hits. A few will get through now, a few hits the Bear will shrug off like insect bites. Then its salmon-slapping time on UK territory....

  13017. Putin announced today that Russia will create a "buffer zone" to protect the Belgorod region and the MoD followed up with publishing video of a line of dozens of trucks and vehicles on the highway in Belgorod. This is a swathe of land not even part of the annexed regions; this is Kharkiv and everything around it. Yeah, ALL of Wagner and the Chechens from Bakhmut too; 40K of the best storm troopers on Earth. About to carve out yet another chunk of Ukrainian territory---permanently. Does that sound like Ukraine is having "success" to you?
    1
  13018. Three examples of how bad this bill is: 1. Half the $60B for Ukraine just pays everyone's salary and pension; does NOTHING about them losing the war. 2. There are US Army training in Poland. Somehow, this does NOT come out of the $900B budget for our military----it is paid for by aid for Ukraine 3. $15B is just for Taiwan----to replace stuff BIDEN ALREADY SENT THEM. Think about that-----Biden sent Taiwan $15B of our weapons up front, just assuming they'll get the money to buy the stuff back later....and Taiwan is hardly at war. The DEMs could not care less about how they spend our money.

  13024. Wow, I didn't know the US sold the MQ-9 Reaper and RQ-4 Global Hawk to North Korea?? Somebody needs to get the execs from General Atomics and Northrop Grumman in front of Congress to explain why Kim is showing off brand new examples of their weaponry to Shoigu!

  13027. They fight on with no more American money. We are done, we have bills to pay of our own. We gave them a $60B army in 2023 and they got shredded. Zelensky cries that we won't fight Russia for him but he had his chance and blew it. EU can support him now.. .

  13028. PHEV has a clear benefit but the price is outrageous. The new Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV gets even better EV only range than this, but costs $50K!!! That is a $30K SUV run up to $50K just due to the expense of the battery and electric motor. There is no way that is worth it when the $35K gas model gets 31mpg hwy anyway.

  13029. A year from now, everyone you meet will be a "Russian bot" 😂😂

  13030. Just another in a long line of military blunders of the Biden Administration. The Afghanistan debacle was a warning; DEMs don't have any capacity for planning or preparing for their foreign policy decisions, they just "wing it". Two years ago NATO thinks dumping all their old, broken down equipment would be enough to beat Russia so none of them planned for a real war. Now, real war is upon them and none of them are prepared. The worst Presidency regarding foreign policy in 60 years...
    1
  13031. Should RU have at least made a contingency plan for NATO suddenly changing its stance and allowing Ukraine to use their equipment to invade Russia proper? Reminds me of when Stalin was told Barbarossa had begun and he didn't initially believe it because he had a non-aggression treaty; he had not contingency plan..."

  13039. Sounds like battery issue to me; who knows how long that thing has been sitting before you got it. I have 2011 XJ SC and a 2012 XKR. I drive the XJ daily so the XKR has a battery tender on it and never have a problem with it. One day it was very cold and I started the XJ to let the interior warm up a bit. I got distracted by something and it was 30 minutes before I got in and drove off. I made a short trip to the store and when I came out and drove off again, I suddenly noticed my headlights flickering (reflecting off the car ahead of me). Then a message popped up on the screen about "Restricted Performance" mode. I'd never seen this in 8 years of ownership and I first thought maybe my battery was finally giving up the ghost after five years. Then I remembered the really long idle time that morning. These high end Jags have tons of equipment drawing on the battery, at idle they draw more power than the engine can recharge. I had just run the battery down too much; I drove normally a few more miles and the messages went away and I've never seen them since.

  13040. Austin just announced Abrams will be in Ukraine in days. They better hurry as Russia smells blood in the water in Zaporizhzhia they know Ukraine has spent much of their combat power as there has been large drop in daily AFU activity in that sector. Word is Ukraines is gathering a final fist of 2023 and of course the Russian drone swarm is waiting for them.

  13043. Dam....this kind of detail....wow. We are living in history-making times. Just being a history nerd from age 10, I thought Biden was crazy two years ago to not negotiate. I was like "is he crazy? Does he not know what war on Russia's OWN LAND would be like??" Seeing the ethnic heritage and pride of Russia (ONE OF THE MOST MULTI-ETHNIC NATIONS ON EARTH!), makes strangely happy as I've studied Russian history since I was 20 or so. I know one thing, the West thinks Putin succeeds because he has Russia under some kind of mind control; they convince themselves everything would be different if there were no Putin. Just watch this and tell me if you still think Putin controls his people, or HIS PEOPLE CONTROL PUTIN??
    1
  13044. "...but only in defense of Kharkiv..." LOL. What surreal madness is this? A proxy war whose restrictions change battle by battle?? This is Vietnam all over again but this time NATO is "America". So when Russia wins this battle, the restriction goes back to what it was yesterday??

  13045. Trump better hurry or there will be nothing left to pay for protection after the ceasefire!😂

  13047.  @Drew-gi5dw  Wow. Drinking early? Kursk Army Group was in Kursk, 120 km from the border. That's how you got in so easily.....and why your little "bulge" looks just like it did last Saturday. 😂

  13049. This is starting to remind me of Japan, 1945. US has massive advantage in men, money, and materiel, but Japan is mobilizing EVERYONE and is on their home turf. I'm not saying I believe there will be a nuke (I don't), but there WILL have to be something that changes the calculus to end the war. If Russia has to take the whole country and lose 2M men doing so, even the biggest anti-Putin Russian will NEVER in a thousand years give it back or make peace with NATO after such a sacrifice.
    1
  13050. ...with laughter. Did you see him at Navy Day today with 30 new warships on their way to the fleet of 100+ this year? Ukraine has 0 warships on the way to their "fleet" of 0.

  13051. Its "Artemovsk" now Western Media.....get it right.
    1
  13052. Ukraine fired at least 12 Storm Shadow missiles at the bridge between Crimea and Kherson yesterday, and every single one was shot down by Russian air defense in Crimea. I know this is true because if even one missile had hit that bridge, CNN would have had it on their page for the last 12 hours with ten different "experts" analyzing the damage and stories on how Putin has been "weakened". The only thing CNN has had on its page about Ukraine all day is an article about Poland shaking with fear about Wagner. 🙂
    1
  13053. Sure it can...by Russia!! Look at Mariupol; a year ago it was in ruins now shiny new buildings everywhere. Westerners don't understand any more than what they are told by BBC/CNN. Those annexed areas had more Russian-speaking people living there for hundreds of years.
    1
  13054. So basically US Navy spent $20M to destroy $50K worth of equipment?
    1
  13055. Ukraine military aren't stupid. They told Biden in May, "we go in there with no air force, we are going to be massacred". Milley and Austin told them "the Russians will run away when they see a Leopard 2"
    1
  13056. Endless CNN propaganda to make its thralls believe Russian = Devil and Ukraine = Angel. Ukraine has been part of Russia since the time of the Kievan Rus over 1000 years ago; both were ruled by the Mongols for exactly the same amount of time. Whatever is true of the Russian, is also true of the Ukrainian and vice versa; they are cousins after all.
    1
  13057. Things are coming to a head and even the Americans blinded by CNN for the past year are starting to see the truth. Ukraine's NATO-equipped and trained attack force is 60K strong. However, there are 100K to 200K trained Russian reservists waiting in the South behind a six layer defensive wall of mines, drones, rockets, artillery, missiles and tanks, under a cloud of Russian fighters. This is a battle Ukraine can never win at the current time; if they attempt it they will die like flies. Biden has blocked at least two peace plans that Ukraine was seriously considering, because they would have cut NATO out of the Ukraine picture forever. A neutral Ukraine can live free; a NATO Ukraine is flat out impossible.
    1
  13058. A lot of NATO bots yapping online don't realize that only the US Congress can Declare War on Russia, not President Biden. Biden cannot initiate an Act of War with another country just because he wants to. If US doesn't jump in; none of the other NATO countries will....we all know that for sure. US is the big Pit Bull; all others are the little Pom-Chi's yapping loudly while remaining behind the US...."

  13059. YT is really going crazy on deleting comments the past few weeks since the Israel-Hamas war. I've never had so many comments disappear within less than a minute and I'm not really sure what triggers it. If you say "Go Russia!" the comment stands; if you say something like "take Avdiivka no matter the cost" there's a 50/50 chance that gets deleted.

  13060. Russia is bombing every region from Kharkiv to Zaporizhzhya; Zelensky said yesterday over 3200 guided bombs hit Ukraine in May, and they expect about 3500 to hit in June. At Chasiv Yar, RU has not even tried to move forward in over a week; they just sit back and drop 3300 lb. guided bombs on AFU. In the south, they just walk or roll right in since all the AFU went to Kharkiv and Chasiv Yar. There are many Ukrainian sites that track soldiers and for 2 years those who become a casualty has fluctuated but was usually 2 to 3 months; now the conscripts they are grabbing off the street are showing up on the combat line in three weeks and becoming a casualty soon after. None of these facts are even in dispute; yet Macron and Stoltenberg think the answer is more weapons, not negotiations and diplomacy.

  13061. Enjoy it while it lasts; the Axis sent THREE MILLION in that same direction, with the same goal, 80 years ago and lost. NATO does not even have three million combat troops all together among 32 member countries....."

  13062. EU cannot understand that. For 400 years all Europeans know is war and conquest

  13063. I don't even see how this channel still exists. I remember months ago this channel was like a mini-version of CNN: Russia has only shovels. Russia will run away from Leopards. Russia has no missiles. Only Wagner fights; regular Russian army runs away. Even CNN doesn't say all that isht anymore, but this guy still does.

  13064. In a few years these will be just like the BMW i8 which we see today ONLY in the busted down ghettos of America. The XM will be the six year old Escalade with 24inch rims of 2030. All the bitches at the park bbq will be impressed.

  13065. LOL Does Putin look embarrassed today casting his "vote" for Kamala Harris with a huge grin on his face??? Kursk flooded the army recruitment centers AND put all of Ukraine's newly-created NATO trained army into a nice neat box!! Putin not embarrased; he's thrilled !

  13066. Can't find anything in Western media about the Russian plane shoot down. Wonder why?😂😂😂

  13068. LOL, I've been married three times; each was better than the one before and my current one is great; 9 years of bliss so far. I'd have tried 4, 5, 6, 10 times until I got it "right". Life is short and being alone in the Universe absolutely sucks.
    1
  13069. So? Kursk is in Russia; they can deploy the Easter Bunny in their own fuccing land Ahh, the steamroller has been swarming all over the Front the past month to such a degree the NK troops probably there just to watch and learn....
    1
  13070. Theater for Western media. They took Bakhmut; Russian army can hold it. It they withdraw its because they want to and he wants NATO to think its because of lack of ammo. They are likely redeploying and just using this for propaganda as to the reason...

  13073. So the $900B a year we give the US Military regardless of War or Peace is somehow not enough for us to "replace old with new"?? Oh, and sweetheart, Russia's weapons are higher quality than ours; we have no hypersonic weapons, while they have at least six types. Their Krasnopol is far superior to our Excalibur (the Excalibur performed so poorly AFU don't even want it anymore). Their Tornado-S is the equal of our ATACMS; so where is this "superiority" everyone assumes?? Putin's war has boosted their military just as much as it has ours; even more so to the objective mind.

  13075. Romney, the guy who was ABSOLUTELY committed to invading Iran if he'd won in 2012. Three years ago, NO ONE was crying "Putin will invade Europe"; now we can't go a day without hearing it. What changed?? The DEMs and NATO fucced up; they woke the Bear and now he's angry...

  13076. Who here thinks Viktor and his family gave a flying fucc about the United States being able to put missiles in Ukraine and the US Navy being able to station its warships in Odessa?? That's what he is fighting for (even though he hardly realizes it). I bet if you took him back in time two years ago, and showed him the Draft Security Peace plan Russia sent to NATO in September 2021, he'd shank any Western diplomat who tried to stop him from signing it...

  13079. Just saw some combat video with a Canadian Senator APC with the "triangle" clearly visible. This is no "old NATO stuff"; production of this vehicle began in 2018 so this is top of the line equipment that the Canadian Army uses. At about $350K each, this is yet more proof of NATO's best being involved...."

  13081. Brits give storm shadow to Ukraine who use it to bomb Maj-General Goryachev (and many others around him). All good. Russians use their own S-300 to bomb many yet-to-be named Generals and NATO officers (and many others around them). All bad. NATO logic.

  13082. 50 vs. 1 and not only is Russia winning, they are THRIVING. The more opponents gang up against them, the better they do.
    1
  13083. This is what UK wants, right? For the average Russian to finally have to fear the skies? Look how far NATO has come in 3 years: afraid to send anything more than an artillery shell or anti tank missile, to now the terror bombing of Moscow...."
    1
  13084. The fact Zelensky is over here still talking nonsense about "leave all of Ukraine" , when he himself is not willing to say "we will be neutral, no NATO.." shows he is delusional. The next President of Ukraine is already in Belarus and he will be far more practical.
    1
  13085. Putin just trolling US because of Zelensky crazy statements at the UN. That's all.

  13088. 1000 km2, and trying to "push deeper" into 17,000,000 km2... That makes it pretty clear how absurd the West Media is, right? Oh, and that other front they've ignored for three months? RU taking Povrovsk (pop. 60,000) , Toretsk (pop. 30,000) , and just took Niu York (pop. 10,000) this past week. Ukraine has taken half of Sudzha (pop. 5000). 🤣🤣🤣

  13089. OMG we got half the planet at each other's throats under the Democrats and this "news" rag is constantly complaining about Trump's bad words, bad manners, and him being an unapologetic rake 39 years ago. Are they fuccing kidding??

  13090. Those of us who knew what Russia is capable of, knew they've been playing with their food for 18 months. THIS is what TOTAL WAR looks like.

  13091. A surprise to no one who has paid attention for 20+ years. Cheney and Harris may differ on a host of things, but America bringing "democracy" to the world by force is one thing they agree on. That "Shining Light on a Hill" is a searchlight on top of a 16-inch naval gun....

  13092. Family MUST be compensated for this horrible outcome! The woman called for HELP, and the help kills her?? The cop had a Taser and knew the situation that SHE was the victim. He could have tried non-lethal first (and who cares if she pokes a few holes in her abuser as she falls to the Taser?). I'd MUCH rather HIS family have to sue the cops than hers; he was the evildoer here! Ughh. Give the family $100M.

  13093. Fool. Most of Ukraines grain went to Germany. No wonder Biden has such support----the number of fools in America is vast beyond imagining.

  13094. ...reported as misinformation...
    1
  13095. For German air force to plan, program, and direct AFU to just push a button to destroy the bridge (or anything in Russia) is clearly an act of war. Russia would be well within it's right of self defense to respond.
    1
  13096. Never. Because humans don't live forever. All these wars are starting today because the "WW2" generation is gone; they were afraid of more global war. Today's 40 and 50 year old leaders aren't afraid due to ignorance. Like a toddler reaching for a hot stove....

  13097. They are positioning like on a chessboard. Two different outcomes based on who wins the election...

  13098. Two women and it turns to gunfire?? So the "I'm tougher than you" late night booze-fueled stupid masculinity that usually results in men shooting each other up over the slightest reproach, has now somehow instilled itself into women too?? God help us all.

  13101. Yeah, she (and they) are just the old Neo-Con wing that want the US to fight half the planet. Of course they don't like Trump, but since it is the sons and daughters of regular people like me that will be sacrificed in their wars, I'll pass. Voting Trump.
    1
  13102. Hard to know if this is more to hurt Trump than it is to help Ukraine. The Democrats have been saying "Trump proof" for months, but Trump won the election meaning the Democrats are really talking about "Will of The People --proof" , and that is called tyranny

  13103. The strategy is "our grand $10B offensive failed completely" and we have to find something else to do that will have any positive result no matter how insignificant.

  13104. $70K for a soulless commuter? Who commutes anymore in this demographic? If you want to feel something, get a CLA 45 and touch the face of God...

  13105. So Napolensky's "Victory Plan" appears to be: "Give me $50B no strings attached". Ukraine PM just demanded that of the G7 today. I hope they give it to him. Only $25B of it will actually make it to a weapons vendor and once RU bats them away for the 3rd year in a row, we'll finally be done with the Beggar-in-Chief....."

  13106. No one to fly them. First F-16 pilots just finished learning how to land this month

  13107. It is 2024, not 1914. European "powers" like Germany, France, and UK have no empires feeding them billions in money and resources to fuel their armies and navies. They need "Uncle Sam" to care for them.
    1
  13108. Not really, Ukraine not supposed to use donated weapons to attack Russia. Those are the terms and they agreed to them. In reality it may matter because the French don't want Putin angry at them, look what he just did to 60 of their citizens.

  13109. Damn....I knew it was him that took her. Was hoping he wouldn't kill her.

  13110. The hubris and hypocrisy of the US never fails to amaze me. Just last week bomb-laded remote controlled boats (given to Ukraine by US) tried to attack Russian ships and the Russians blew them all up. That wasn't "ridiculous" but this is?
    1
  13111. Trump (as usual) makes a good point with all the subtlety of a gorilla. US has $24T GDP and 5500 tanks. Germany/Britain/France together have $9T GDP (about 1/3rd of ours), but all together only 700 tanks. By relative wealth they should all be able to put 1800 tanks into service. That money is what fuels their universal education, healthcare, and comfortable public housing. I'd say that's a GDF'ing problem!
    1
  13112. "...found $300M in unspent money..." when Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman are around??? The Biden Administration is really good at spin and lying with a straight face, I give them that.
    1
  13113. He won't get a penny until the flood of illegal immigrants pouring into American cities gets handled. 2024 is an Election year and the GOP will NEVER go soft on the border just to save Zelensky's skin; they work for the people of the United States who are screaming for something to be done about the migrant flood. UK people can certainly relate to that.
    1
  13114. This is shaping up to be the greatest military disaster since Gallipoli. The Biden Administration bungling of the Afghanistan exit was a warning to us all that we failed to heed: Dont let Biden or his gaggle of Far Left "world changers" like Blinken, Nuland, and Austin anywhere near the levers of power!
    1
  13115. No matter what happens now, I know our sons and daughters not going over there now that Trump won. That's all I care about. Zelensky can do whatever he wants , just no more free everything from us. Ukrainian people need to man up and solve their own problems; no more $4B cash transfers from us to pay all their salaries, no more shipments of 200 Strykers, etc. They wouldn't be in this position if not for the stupid DEM policy; they now will stand or fall on their own. As it should have been all along.

  13123. Things look so bad now for Ukraine that some of the military blogger summaries are now openly mocking them; things are so lopsided they can't even try to put a positive spin on it for Ukraine anymore. One highly regarded site flat out said in its afternoon summary for today: "The End is Near"
