Ha! Zelensky 'dealing with the corruption'.....Just as corrupt as the Russians.
It can't be denied.
I expected Trump to reduce the military budget but he's increased it.

I presume Patriot but there are a couple of others. This is the kind of thing I mean - as you realise. Our "advisors" have to fire our "top secret" weapon's tech. In case somebody gets it and reverse engineers it.
I mean it's not like China have done that already is it. There are no Ukrainians who'd just sell it to the highest bidders. Nothing's gone missing has it? That story was quickly quoshed.

Well they have lost, and it'll only get worse.....they ran out of men essentially.
No point in Putin taking the west of Ukraine.....what he wants is to leave Ukraine weakened so that it can't take the east of Ukraine back.....Putin isn't stupid and he has the upper hand, so I see him getting what he wants.....but mainly because of economic reasons leading into the US mid terms.

You've been saying that for at least a year. And their issue isn't men, it's logistics, with a no man's land both in front and BEHIND the trench. Drone warfare, who'd have seen it in this kind of way?
Ukraine will just end up getting SHORADS of various types in the end.

Interesting, I thought they already had ATACMS but I stand corrected. I think because ATACMS is fired from HIMARS and they've had HIMARS for a long time with the short range MLRS missiles.

Seems I wasn't wrong, this isn't the first time they've used ATACMS

Ukraine launched its first deep ATACMS strike on Russia after getting US approval
Russia and Ukraine have different views of the attack's success. Either way, this use of the missiles could mark a significant escalation in the war.

US using them to pressure both Ukraine and Russia to agree to their plan.
If it falls apart though I don't see them continuing to give them if Ukraine hit oil production.

It's been true for a year.....drones were helping them for a while but now they are out produced.
I follow the battle reports, it's definitely manpower.
They lost 60 sqkm the other day.....losing two cities soon....One's practically fallen already.

Ukraine's best outcome? Has always been no war with Russia, it's been worst than a disaster for them and Zelensky has made bad decision after bad decision.
The Ukrainians were led down the garden path.

This US peace plan looks increasingly suspicious and designed to fail.
A way for Trump to throw up his hands and exit?

I thought he had already exited. Leaving it to the Europeans.
Anyone of conscription age (Knowing Starmer it will be up to about 90) should maybe think about their options. Dual nationality is a useful one - we have Irish and Jamaican connections in our wider family.
But for those who have bought the propaganda, who hate Russians, who love Zelensky and his rogue state, you might well have a chance to walk the walk, rather than just talk the talk.
Let's hope you find all the military equipment as exciting in real life.

He has in terms of giving money to the Ukrainians.
But economically the war still affects the US and he wants to put pressure on both sides to end it. He needs a win to raise morale.....I can't see it but you never know.
I'm too old but even if I weren't I wouldn't fight for this shower. They have gone out of their way to demonise normal conservative males....yet that's the most likely person to join an Army......Na, let the lefty feminists and the social liberals fight.
I second that sentiment.

Yeah, fight for the right to own nothing and be happy and have the state teach your kids about pride parades. While they bring in foreigners to out compete you for low, mid and high wage jobs.

Frankly I’d rather learn to speak Russian than come under Sharia Law.

Ukraine and European allies reject key parts of "U.S.-Russian peace plan" following Merz, Macron, and Starmer call — Bloomberg.
I'm suspicious that these extremely unpopular current leaders in Europe are prepared to get our boys killed for Ukraine.....So it can have pride parades and trans rights.....all while they demographically replace the dead Ukrainians with non Europeans.
Rinse and repeat.

It's obvious that the Russians aren't going to give up what they hold. The only deal will be Russia keeping the Donbas and Ukraine remaining out of NATO.
Ukraine cannot win the war without Western money, and even then we cannot supply the weapons to do it without escalation.
If Putin attacks a NATO country, then we really will be at Def Con 1.
