ChiGoose Posted March 13 Posted March 13 Wow. It’s almost as if the best way to end the war without the complete destruction of Ukraine is to give them the ability to push Russia back and force them to the table. Bad break for the Neville Chamberlin caucus who have played into Russia’s hands and ensured the war will rage on.

The question is, absent direct NATO involvement in combat operations, what does anyone think we can supply that will push the Russians back? As the biggest issue is they're losing the war of attrition and running out of well-trained and capable combat soldiers.

Which is why they need ample supplies of artillery ammunition and SAM ammunition. When Ukraine has these two things, Russian advances halt and Ukrainian casualties drop. Not exactly a huge ask, no? 1

When Ukraine has these two things, Russian advances halt and Ukrainian casualties drop. Not exactly a huge ask, no? I'm not sure. I expect any escalation will be met by escalation. While Putin can't be trusted he'll do everything necessary to end the conflict in his favor while not doing anything to embarrass Washington. A difficult balancing act. I also expect most Ukrainians are weary of the war and believe winning, as defined by recovering all lost territories, is no longer possible. I think if Zelensky didn't cancel the coming elections he would be in danger of losing the presidency. Recently dismissed military commander Valeriy Zaluzhniy is said to be a popular figure to both the military leadership and combat troops and civilians. Now, even more popular than Zelensky. Naming Zaluzhniy ambassador to the UK was Zelensky's way of getting a potential political rival out of the way without doing anything wildly stupid such as arresting or killing him. Which might lead to a military mutiny and the end of his reign. And then the new interim military government going to the bargaining table to end the conflict much to the dismay of US/NATO leaders. 1
B-Man Posted March 13 Posted March 13 Pentagon Giving Ukraine $300 Million Without New Congressional Approval Back in December, the Pentagon announced that they had burned through all of the money designated to supply military aid to Ukraine, so future shipments would have to wait until Congress appropriated more funds. That hasn't happened because the House GOP is insisting that Joe Biden fix our borders before we blow even more cash on those of another country. Now, it would appear that Biden's patience is exhausted because the Pentagon is shipping another $300 million worth of weapons to Ukraine anyway. How are they doing that? They claim to have mysteriously "found some cost savings" in their contracts. But in reality, they've already spent $10 billion more than they were supposed to on Ukraine. So much for oversight, I suppose. (Associated Press) https://hotair.com/jazz-shaw/2024/03/13/pentagon-giving-ukraine-300-million-without-new-congressional-approval-n3784597
Tiberius Posted March 13 Author Posted March 13 https://www.cnbc.com/2024/03/13/ukraine-war-live-updates-latest-news-on-russia-and-the-war-in-ukraine.html Oil prices rose around 2% Wednesday after production disruptions at several major oil refineries in Russia, following Ukrainian drone attacks. Two primary oil refining units were shut down in Rosneft’s biggest oil refinery in Ryazan on Wednesday after a fire caused by a drone attack, two sources familiar with the situation told Reuters. Rosneft has not commented on the incident. Meanwhile, operations at the Novoshakhtinsky oil products plant in the Rostov region were stopped after drones shot down by Russian air defenses fell on the facility, regional Governor Vasily Golubev said. Production was halted at another major refinery — Lukoil’s NORSI facility in the Nizhny Novgorod region —on Tuesday after a drone attack caused a fire.

L Ron Burgundy Posted March 14 Posted March 14 Free Russian battalions are attempting to take Belgorod. Smart move by Ukraine arming them. Russia has virtually nothing protecting their own lands. Not surprising. What madness will this cause?

Yes because the people of Ukraine have no free will. You post a clip of some goofball like what? It represents the whole country? Then this comment. Just plain dumb. But hey, if people like you didn't believe propaganda there probably wouldn't be any.

I don’t either, but there is clear evidence that plenty of men in that country don’t want to fight in this war, yet they are being forced to. All because America and our Western allies want to bleed Russia dry by using a country steeped in corruption to fight our war.

But since Trump wanted to investigate Joke for extorting them to fire a prosecutor looking into his idiot son's company, they love Ukraine now. I really am starting to believe that if Trump said that breathing was great, they'd strangle themselves... 1
