I mean, you know they were invaded in 2014 right? That was almost a full decade ago.

I’m just saying, they had plenty of time for shenanigans. I have zero doubt there is plenty of chicanery.
Meh. What if they started a year ago? How many tanks did Russia have in storage that could be quickly made operable? It seems plausible given how corrupt Russia is that a big dent was made.
Abrams tanks are in Germany. As I read the story these are for training purposes and the ones we are giving are being readied for shipment.
Not enough and not fast enough. It is nice to see Susan and Lindsey criticizing the speed of deliveries. Now go talk to MTG and Tommy Tuberville.

US Abrams tanks for training Ukrainian forces arrive in Germany ahead of schedule
U.S. officials say the Abrams tanks needed for training Ukrainian forces have arrived in Germany slightly ahead of schedule, and are on their way to the Grafenwoehr Army base where the training will begin in two to three weeks. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin tells the Senate Appropriations...

Actually as silly as the tank with the bed springs above it looks it may help them stop grenades dropped from drones.
They must have revised the troop count from yesterday.

FWIW
"Expanded offensive actions Temporarily better weather allows #Ukraine further actions. In the meantime it looks like a large-scale #Frontdurchbruch direction #Klishchiivka - possibly with Russian boiler escape."

Posting this separately as it has only one smoke plume and am hoping it is a different fire
It appears to be in the area of a nuclear reactor.
"A new fire declared in Dzerzhinsky near Moscow. Warehouses near a cogeneration plant are on fire, according to local media." (Damn-just tires.)

Personally I think the tank numbers that get posted have to be inflated to a degree. "Destroyed" tanks that have been recovered and repaired ect.....if the numbers were correct the Russians would be done by now.
That said they've obviously taken heavy losses.....just not at the reported degree IMO.

I use a “divide by 3” rule on all Ukrainian reported numbers. Even then the Russian losses are staggering.
Sorry-I only posted for the photo of the lady.
I believe she is rooting for one of the combatants.
....Thanks, Biden!??? (& Zelenskyy!!!)

WSJ spells out how a vote for Trump is essentially a vote for Russia to win in Ukraine:
Donald Trump’s refusal to commit to aiding Ukraine’s fight against Russia’s invasion portends a stark choice for U.S. voters if the war is still raging in November 2024: The wide-ranging support for Kyiv under President Biden, or indifference to the winner of a conflict that has cost the U.S. and its allies tens of billions of dollars.
The former president, who is also the GOP’s leading contender to challenge Mr. Biden next year, also challenged the broadly unified support in the mainstream of the Republican Party for backing Ukraine, with some GOP lawmakers pushing the Biden administration to provide Kyiv with even more advanced and lethal weaponry.
Mr. Trump’s comments added to concerns in Europe that the war in Ukraine could grow polarized in U.S. domestic politics as the presidential race approaches, splitting voters and members of Congress down partisan lines. Kyiv’s allies said they feared U.S. support for Ukraine could fray.
Mr. Trump told a town hall event hosted by CNN on Wednesday that his priority would be to put a swift end to the war. He declined to say whether he wanted Ukraine to win the conflict, and called on Europe to put up more of the money keeping Kyiv in the fight. With tens of thousands of Russian troops occupying large swaths of southern and eastern Ukraine and the Crimean Peninsula, an imminent cease-fire would essentially hand a partial victory to Russian President Vladimir Putin.
“Russians and Ukrainians, I want them to stop dying,” he said. “And I’ll have that done in 24 hours.”

Weird, how I'd pointed this out over a year ago to people....
Yet another reason to not vote for Trump.WSJ spells out how a vote for Trump is essentially a vote for Russia to win in Ukraine:

That said...if the war is still going on in November 2024 there will be pressure to end the war from many quarters...to include NATO members IMO.
I have friends in the UK and I keep getting such messages:
Just spotted 2 RAF Typhoons escorting a RAF Rivet Joint into the Black sea.
RAF is over Romania in force. Tankers, fighters, SIGNIT and the likes
The Rivet Joint is a NATO/US recon plane, which I had a chance to see at SAC in Nebraska. For a plane fanatic like me, it brought tears to my eyes.
The offensive has begun...pray for the good guys. They are indeed going into the heart of the battle.
