Russia vs. Ukraine Part 2

@Wolfhound looks like it was a roller tank from Finland.

Finland to send three Leopard tanks to Ukraine

Finland will send three Leopard 2 tanks suitable for mine clearing to Ukraine and provide training for their use, the Finnish defence ministry said on Thursday.

Well, I guess I missed that. The photo is really grainy but you are correct.

Looks like the Ukrainia’s have lost 16 Bradley’s in the past few days.

A disastrous assault across a Russian minefield south of Mala Tokmachka on Thursday was especially costly. The Ukrainian 33rd Mechanized Brigade and 47th Assault Brigade lost three of their 14 Leopard 2A6 tanks, 16 of their 109 M-2 IFVs and three of their six Leopard 2R engineering vehicles—all in the span of a few minutes, apparently.

Not a great start to the much heralded offensive.

Defense in depth is the one thing Russia does best. American wonder weapons don't mean anything if they end up driven into minefields or drowned in mud and shredded by pre-sighted artillery.

A firsthand account of what Western military commanders need to think about for future wars.

A Former U.S. Green Beret Says Ukraine Is His Generation's 'Most Righteous War'

David Bramlette, a former U.S. Green Beret, fought in both Iraq and Afghanistan, but says serving in Ukraine's Foreign Legion against invading Russia forces is "probably the most righteous war that my generation will see."

The last 'righteous' war ended in 1945. Coincidently, it was also the last war not of choice

The important point is that war should only be fought in a declared manner with the whole country behind it or it should not be fought at all. Just as this guy is all in for the Ukraine war, there are others that are still all in for Iraq or Afghanistan or pushing for war with Iran. That does not make what they support any better for America

It is past time to end wars that have no relevance to US interests, no viable strategy for winning and no exit startegy

I thank him for his service, but I would feel better if the NGO he was shilling for wasn't involved in biomedical research. That combined with organizational support for Ukraine raises red flags for me because of the persistent circumstantial evidence of ties between Ukraine and prohibited and/or military research on pathogens for potential biowarfare use

Senators propose resolution threatening war with Russia if Putin uses nuclear weapons in Ukraine

“The threat of a use of a nuclear device by Russia is real,” Graham said.

I thought the senate was supposed to be the deliberative body

WTF is wrong with those morons

 

[actaeon277]

Putin should be worried if he uses nuke anywhere, that he'll catch nukes.

But since he knows we have a sock puppet in charge...

Weak leaders are more likely to cause wars. No one takes them serious, and stuff happens.
