This might be a little tougher than Putin thought...

If we help them take out Russian supply lines from 50-100 miles inside the Russian border, yep.
It'd be a cakewalk.
HIMARS disrupting the supply lines played a huge roll in the successful counterattack, hopefully these new longer-range weapons will also have the same result.
AP story about the struggles dating back to 2014 that Ukraine has had organizing defenses and assigning contracts. Plenty of manpower on the Russian side to dig trenches with so many prisoners to utilize. When Ukraine downsized after the fall of the USSR they stripped away engineering units and equipment. The main effect has been an inability to blunt the new Russian tactic of the massive glide bombs. Air defenses and F-16s cannot arrive fast enough.

I would like to have a Kerch bridge kegger. Some m f'er bomb that shit to pieces. Preferably on May Day in Soviet Russia. It would be amazing to see that shit crumble as Putler and his tiny peen give his useless address to his starving masses.
That first one is a bigly Russian Propagandist account.
A very good chance his dad had a Nuke Russia bumper sticker and voted for Reagan twice. As if what happened in Germany was not enough evidence, we are seeing in our country what large scale propaganda and lies can do to a nations citizens and it is sad and scary.
Amazing how they could lose money when global crude is over $80 a barrel. I saw somewhere that it costs Russia on average $40 a barrel to drill the oil and $20 to transfer and ship it. China and India will only buy Russia oil at $20 discount to Brent crude, which doesn't leave any meat on the bone.
Sending all of Gazprom's customers to get their Nat Gas from the US/Canada was the dumbest move made by Putin/
That is a start. Those poor shareholders… oh, what will they do now?
"The new advanced air defense system Italy allegedly plans to deliver was deployed in Slovakia. Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico, known for his Ukraine-skeptic stances, said in March that Rome decided to pull back the system from his country.
The decision by the Italian government to provide another SAMP/T is reportedly linked to the worsening battlefield situation in eastern Ukraine, as Russia seeks to break through Ukrainian defense lines.
The new defense aid package will also allegedly include artillery and Stinger anti-air missiles, La Repubblica writes. It remains unclear whether Italy will agree to supply any of the available 100-200 Storm Shadow long-range missiles, according to the outlet."

Keep hitting oil/gas infrastructure.
Not to sound paranoid but Germany has more Russians than any country other than Russia
"Fire in Berlin. Apparently the company Diehl is affected, which is involved in the production of armaments, among other things. Russian media have already taken up the fire. Video: Fire service circles. More information at https://berliner-zeitung.de/news/lichterfe"

(The plant in Iowa IS online and I wonder if their numbers are similar.)

Macron doesn't rule out troops for Ukraine if Russia breaks front lines
Speaking to The Economist, the French president said it's necessary to have a 'strategic ambiguity' when dealing with Vladimir Putin.

I am relieved that we are getting capacity cranking. It was really disappointing that with our arsenal brimming with precise instruments we were running out of war hammers. I hope we never have to use them but having the shells and production are a deterrent all on their own.
My hope is we can ramp up additional production lines for other weapons, as well as in Europe. The alarm has been going off for 2 years. Time to get longer range, precision weapons ramped up. And, plan for the next generation. Ukraine is teaching us a lot about the future of warfare.

Hope this is not accurate.
