Ukraine

[RandomGuy]

Because it is important to get buy-in from air stewardess trainees in war.

Ironic, given that there won't be any planes for them to work in.

Ghost of kiev dead!!!!

[DMX7]

Lavrov trolling hard...

The goal of the war in Ukraine is to stop a war in Ukraine.

meanwhile turkey is supplying ukraine with the baytaktar drones that are obliterating russian vehicles
russia getting played by turkey. supplying their enemy while taking advantage of russia's economic emergency

also trading in rubles

Stands to reason then that NATO would put the No Fly Zone in, once they cleared it with the big cheese, MF Biden.

NATO is not at war with Russia, and Russia is too chicken to start a war with NATO, so there won't be a No Fly Zone until that happens.

Hopefully someone as bright and talented as our current VP - the most likeable VP in modern history.

Could just make her the next Ukranian POTUS, breaking glass ceilings, etc...

Then as always...we shall see.

It's your theory that they just want the south and east, you tell me.

That's the thing, looks like that's what they want, but the question is how they're going to get it. Ukranians clearly don't want them there, and 190.000 troops ain't going to hold on to that for long.

so now he was real?

[Ef-man]

Roads?

hater said that's not how you invade a country.

Especially when the invasion was never going to happen.

According to hater.

Russians will need these roads when they get attacked, panic and head back home.

[hater]

so now he was real?

Yeah


Hes a real ghost now

190,000-12,000=178,000

tick
177,000...

tock
170,000...

tick
150,000...

[sound of russian army sucking ass intensifies]

wait until they start trying to take population centers. That countdown will go pretty quick, KIA, MIA, desertions, wounded, and surrenders. Ish. Poor kids.

178k troops is not enough to hold in a nation of 40M people.

The US generals in charge of Iraq/Afghanistan can attest to that.

40M people + all the weapons NATO can supply indefinitely... nope. Russia lost on day three. They just don't know it yet.

Modern military colleges in the US teach some basic principles. 12 in all.

1 Objective is focusing all efforts toward the decisive achievement of an obtainable end state
2 Speed is the rapid execution of all functions and operations related to war. Implied in speed are the current principles of offensive and maneuver
3 Concentration of effects, which replaces mass, is the focusing of conventional fires and other useful tools, such as electronic attack and information operations, to defeat the enemy.
4 Economy of effects is employing the right number and combination of effects to neutralize or destroy an enemy and achieve the objective.
5 Pervasive awareness is building an exploitable, in-depth knowledge of the battle space, the opponent, and his centers of gravity and vulnerability.
6 Continuous planning is the ongoing development and redevelopment of courses of action, for the current situation and contingencies, to rapidly achieve the objective.
7 Flexibility is rapidly adapting to new or different requirements or situations.
8 Sustainment is ensuring the persistence of forces to see the conflict through, from entry to withdrawal
9 Efficiency of command is ensuring the force has no more divisions and layers of command than necessary, and implies unity of command.
10 Security is ensuring the safety and integrity of forces and certain noncombatants during all phases of the operation.
11 Integration of actors is allowing appropriate participation in planning, and assigning useful tasks to all forces, agencies and NGOs taking part in an operation.
12 Surprise is acting in an unpredictable fashion to leverage the utility of effects, and it retains some value in the updated principles of war.

List is a bit dated, but mostly relevant. Russia failed in every category, and mostly continues to do so.

ma niga Lavrov going balls deep.

nobody takes the new Baghdad Bob seriously...

Pepew Escbar still thinks that when you agree to pay in dollars, you can just turn around and pay in toilet paper because Putler said so
