Ukraine - Russia Conflict (Original Title: Things are heating up in the Donbass)

[spat]

It would be impossible to get a good number.

Most of the cost is going to be in lost productivity. If you have 100,000 guys spend a day at some BS training, the lost productivity is very expensive. It's also completely buried in other budget lines.

To say nothing of the cost of the damage being done to the warfighting ability.

When it comes to the military, none of the woke BS should ever enter into a decision. The only thing that matters is "will this improve our ability to kill America's enemies". If the answer is no, then it doesn't get done.

So, I'll ask you, can you quantify how much any of this BS has improved the lethality of the US military ?

that's not a number. So basically you just think he's spending a bunch of money on that stuff without any data to support it? I'll believe you if you show me the numbers, if not then it's just made up fear mongering BS.

New video of Zelensky. He does appear to be losing it and on drugs. This is not a sober man.

I saw this video and thought your comment strange at the time. Now I know why.

Will Putin Lose Russia?

Putin's grip on power rests on fantasy and fear.

All state media and press secretaries repeat the same mantra, literally repeating Putin: “drug addicts and neo-Nazis” are in power in Ukraine

And the $$$ and humiliation from ludicrous displays like this...

Well since high heels were originally invented for men who worked as butchers in ancient Egypt. The high heels allowed the walk amongst the carcasses of dead animals without getting their feet soaked in blood. So really they are just walking in mens shoes.

Zelensky drug use has been a known issue, it came out during his election campaign, long before Putin said anything about it. It's obvious in that video he is under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

To me he looks exhausted from being under siege for a week.

Analysts continue to wonder at the ineffectiveness of Russia military.

Is the Russian Air Force Actually Incapable of Complex Air Operations?

More than a week into the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the Russian Air Force has yet to commence large-scale operations. Inactivity in the first few days could be ascribed to various factors, but the continued absence of major air operations now raises serious capability questions.

A broad bipartisan majority of Americans think the United States should stop buying Russian oil and gas and work with NATO to set up "no-fly zones" to protect Ukraine from Russian air strikes, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll completed on Friday.

Perhaps in a sign of the times I had a very strange dream last night.

I dreamt that there was a Russian tank outside my house, but there was something wrong with it. It kept going in circles and the turret didn't move properly so it couldn't get a clear shot. Inside I was furiously trying to open my safe but I kept putting in the wrong combination. I finally got it open but then couldn't decide what rifle to pick up (I know...first world gun nut problems).

When I finally figured out which was the best to use I realized that none of the magazines were loaded. When I finally came across the ammunition I had trouble loading them into the mags. When I finally got a few filled up I loaded the rifle and opened the door only to see Russian ground troops walking across the lawn. Basically I was too late. Then I woke up.

Kind of a messed up way to wake up on a Saturday morning. I'm not really all that into dream interpretation but I wonder if it means something.

FALS FLAG ATTACKS - NAZIS in UKRAINE SHOOTING CIVIL UKRAINIANS

️"I have all the evidence. It is the Ukrainians who are shooting". French journalist Anne-Laure Bonnell was invited by CNews to talk about what is happening in Ukraine and Russia's military operation in the country.

View attachment 149594

However, the broadcast did not go according to plan, as Bonnell has been reporting from Donbass since 2015 and about the hard life of the people on the ground. The hosts in the studio did not believe what she said about the Ukrainian military's shelling of Donbass.

The part of the broadcast in which Bonnell shows photos of dead residents of the Lugansk People's Republic was cut from the online version of the broadcast. The hosts decided to ignore the journalist's statement about Ukrainian shelling of the Donbass region, which she put forward.

The Donbass fight was an invasion not a civil war. The "media" narrative is that it is a "civil war" of Russian back separatists.

It means it's time to get out of New York before government forces come and take your freedom before you're prepared enough to defend it.

I used to think this as well until russia launched a new war in europe...

It is time to revisit the Dr. Strangelove Movie. Russian Military Doctrine is to use Nukes both tactical and ICBM's if defeat is inevitable.
Just like the movie's Doomsday device. Russia wrote it into its military doctrine. Putin is saying to the West! You cannot touch me without annihilation.

Clintons Obama Bidens consider themselves sophisticated, 21st-century men and women—they believe balance of power politics is dead.”

Putin is a “Putin is a 19th century man” who views the world through the lens of balance of power politics.
It is the manifestation of the saying: Hard times make weak men.
There is no magic easy way out of this.
It is not a new war, it is redux of the original WWI or a continuation. Yes, some of the sides have changed, but the fighting killing, and suffering is just a continuation of royalty and battles that started long ago.

Did you have the same sentiments when Donbass was shelled? When it wasn't ignored, it was blamed on Donbass separatists. They shelled their own territory for 8 years, right!

This is stupid. If that was an invasion, what is going on now?
