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

It’s also the spring rain season so they are really confined to the roads.
BTW, there is no bad news😎.
I think we Americans fall into the trap of thinking we control events….or could control them if we “just did things differently”.
This! Living in Europe made me believe that America could cease to exist and the rest of the world would make very minor adjustments and be fine.
This is a VERY good thread. If the US really wanted to help Ukraine with more modern NATO weapons, they could do it quickly with private military contractors. Zelensky could declare them as part of the Ukraine Foreign Legion for legal purposes, etc. All it takes is money.
At least do it for Patriot anti-missile defense, Abrams tanks, and artillery. Maybe dust off a few A-10s😎.

Yeah, I would think this is a quite normal feeling in Europe. Not sure it's a smart sentiment given current conditions though.
"Appeal from the Deputy Commander of the AZOV Regiment, Captain Sviatoslav Palamar, Kalina's friend, from the besieged city of Mariupol.
The defenders of Mariupol are doing the impossible and you have to understand that. And you must also do the impossible, especially those who are just as faithful to the oath."
"Reject sorrow, return the city, win. For the sake of those who have already given their lives for this victory. Mariupol is Ukraine!"
Translation of the two videos

"Here's a Patriot missile battery, some F-16s, and some M-1 tanks"
"Uncle Sam is paying the guys using this equipment and yesterday they were in the US military."
"But the US isn't involved and this totally shouldn't be seen as the US getting directly involved."
[wink wink]
What if Putin doesn't accept the charade as presented?
BTW, is this any different than what Erik Prince was trying to sell Trump for a permanent 'non-US' presence in Afghanistan?
JFC. I see stuff like this and get so mad. A man murdered. His wife and some brutalized. F******s even shot the family dog before torching the place. I’d love to sit every weak willed Western politician down and force them to watch that. Then I realize that’s barely half the issue. All those ME leaders that are enabling Russia. The asss monkeys at Goldman Sachs working angles to make a buck off of this war. China. The ass monkeys at Fox…

In fairness, they're trying to justify a really big budget, and that's easier before the other guy puts on a clown show.
If judging just by the info in this thread, Ukraine is winning this war and might be able to expel Russia from all territories pre 2008. Wars are a bitch however. Who knows what can transpire moving forward. How far will Russia go? I think it’s impossible to come to a conclusion, especially considering we are all armchair viewers of this war.

Keane is Michael Flynn’s wingman. He is a moron.
I’ve seen other reports on this convoy. Hopefully the Ukrainians have the capability to exploit this. The Russians are still making Day 1 logistical mistakes.
100 Russian owned jets are currently hiding out in Dubai. See my previous comment about forcing people to watch videos of the Russian inflicted carnage in Ukraine. Strap the degenerate leaders of that corrupt petro state into chairs and force them to watch those videos. It, I guess we need their stuff, and their air bases…

For the most part I agree. For Putin, I disagree. What you wish for us utopian in nature. It won’t happen. Putin controls his environment. There won’t be anyone from within to be the savior. They are either brainwashed to believe he’s the one or lack the conviction to make an attempt on Putin’s life out of fear.
What would Putin do about it?
BTW, I think the F-16s would be a little too "in your face" myself.
Flynn had 2 stars. Keane was a general who retired 20 years ago and now gets paid for political commentary. He also has extensive business ties that are a little on the icky side, especially in trying to transfer nuclear technology to SA.
Sorry to deviate from the purpose of this thread, but I don’t trust anyone who thinks handing the Saudis nuclear technology is a good idea. But, he’s getting paid to lobby for them, essentially.
Some of the military experts insist the training curve on these make them much less effective than supplying them Soviet era arms they are used to.
But we also see where Lithuania and the US (others?) are training Ukrainians on western systems.
Biden has called Putin a war criminal and called for his trial. A few Mig 29s aren't going to piss Putin off any more. And if we screw this up and allow Putin to win, he will now be on the border of Poland. We need to make sure Ukraine wins this NOW.
Destruction of Russian military equipment with anti-armor missiles.

Sure seems like Ukraine knows Russia is hurting and trying to reorganize for one desperate offensive and they are having none of it, which is exactly what they should do. **** letting them gather and build back up and resupply. Every day like the last one is a day closer to Russia flat out losing this war.
