    Vice President Kamala Harris’ national security adviser Nancy McEldowney is stepping down from her role to “focus on personal matters.”

    McEldowney reportedly said in the memo that she was stepping down to “focus on some pressing personal matters.”

    “This was a difficult decision because I am so deeply committed to the work we do and the crucial national interest we serve,” she wrote. “But after more than a year, this is the right decision for my family.”

    lol @ "just breaking now", he's been saying the same thing for over a week now... this is from 3 days ago:

    But Mikhailo Podolyak, an adviser to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, tweeted: “Our positions are unchanged. Ceasefire, withdrawal of troops & strong security guarantees with concrete formulas.”

    Putler wants to keep land though, and Ukraine ain't budging on that one.

    Kyiv: President Volodymyr Zelensky said Monday that Ukraine could not fulfil "Russian ultimatums," claiming Moscow was seeking to "destroy" his country.

    "Ukraine cannot fulfil Russian ultimatums. We should be destroyed first, then their ultimatum would be fulfilled," he told local media. He said Moscow wanted Ukraine to "hand over" Kharkiv, Mariupol and Kyiv, adding that neither the people of those cities "or me, as president, can do this."

    Looks like Ukraine will last maybe 5 or 6 more weeks not 5 years
    Ukraine will outlast Russia.

    Russias time table for the collapse of its invasion will be about that time frame, somewhat less than two months.

    Jerusalem Post skewers Comedian

    Religious Zionist MK Simcha Rothman took issue with Zelensky’s reference to Ukrainians who saved Jews and tweeted: “I don’t understand Ukrainian, but if the translation I heard is accurate, Zelensky asked us to treat the Ukrainians like they treated us 80 years ago. I’m sorry, but I think we will have to reject that request. We are, after all, a moral nation.”

    Israelis know the history of the Holocaust very well. The Ukrainian Auxiliary Police rounded up Jews to be massacred in Babyn Yar, Lviv and Zhytomyr. About 80,000 Ukrainians volunteered for the SS, compared with 2,600 Ukrainians do ented as having saved Jews. And before that, some of the worst pogroms in Jewish history were perpetrated in what is now Ukraine.

    That a country like Ukraine doesn't stand a snowball's chance in of defeating Russia. Russia is on par with China and the US in military might.


    Russia certainly isn't on par with the US in combat aircraft.
    They don't let their pilots fly enough to know how to do their jobs.
    The aircraft they do have is all about a generation behind the US in avionics.
    Even when they get the birds in the air, there is no clear line of command as to their missions.

    Russia isn't on par with the US in terms of communication and control.
    The billions they spent on upgrading their encrypted comms got flushed down the toilet of corruption and incompetence.
    They have no unified command structure for this invasion.
    They are using off the shelf walkie talkies, and single channel comms.

    Russia isn't on par with teh US in terms of logistics.
    Their logistics units clock in at about 1/4 that of their western counterparts.
    Generals and on down steal fuel to sell and line their pockets.
    The rations they have sent their troops to the field expired years ago, more money lining someone's pockets.


    Russia isn't on par with the US in terms of an NCO backbone for their units.
    Lack of discipline in small unit maneuver.
    Lack of discipline in simple maintenance.
    Lack of use of combined arms.
    Lack of initiative when plans go wrong.

    It goes on and on.

    I have a hard time trying to figure out what your basis is for that. Nukes?

    Russia's defense industry collapsed after the USSR did, and was never really replaced because of endemic corruption.

    That won't change. Their equipment losses are gone, and won't be replaced for years, if not decades. They literally can't make this stuff anymore in any quan y.

    smh

    [bull Russian propaganda point #1 omitted, because Putin, that's why]
    Cheers
    -------------------------------------------------------------

    And you still believe US governments lies that russia will invade anyday now
    Lemming
    Aint no invasion gonna happen. [bull talking points omitted for brevity-RG]
    Regardless there will be no russian boots on ukranian soil. All this invasion talk is propaganda for internal US consumption.
    ...
    I stand by my call. Russia wont invade ukraine anytime soon. Their invasion is not imminent as re US claims.
    ...
    Cheers
    There wont be any invasion. Russia will discoose their next steps to the public in response to NATO rejection of their proporsals.
    [bull russian propaganda talking point omitted, because Putin, that's why-RG]
    If you check Putins speech he clearly says all this has been planned months in advance. They are just executing the plan now.
    [bull russian propaganda talking point omitted, because Putin, that's why-RG]
    When how and where is all up to Russia. My guess is this will go slowly and methodically. Like a Boa constrictor.

    [insert current Russian propaganda talking point #1 here]
    and
    [insert Russian propaganda talking point #2 here]
    You guys are brainwashed for not believing this stuff.
    [repeats bull Russian propaganda talking point #1]

    https://www.globalsecurity.org/milit...a/industry.htm

    Up to 90% of all machine tools are imported to Russia from abroad.
    ...Like it or not, but its machine tool industry and its machine tool industry in Russia in fact is no more. However, there are no people who could work on these machines.

    As recognized by the general director of "Uralvagonzavod" Oleg Sienko in 2015, "we really did not have and do not have enough skilled workers
    The present condition of Russia's defense sector is critical, and the reasons are well known. One is the aging of highly qualified production personnel, many of whom are approaching retirement age. Engineering school graduates are unwilling to take jobs in the defense sector because of low wages. No worker replacements are trained anywhere in the country either. Earlier, it was taboo to draft workers from defense factories into the army. Now this privilege is abandoned, and graduates of the few surviving vocational schools seek employment elsewhere, but not in the defense sector where receiving a foreign travel passport is a problem.

    Another problem is the aging of the equipment in the defense industry: its production lines and machine tools have long passed the 30-year limit. Many key technologies have been lost as have co-production links. The uncontrolled growth of energy costs is outstripping inflation and is well above the deflators provided by the Economic Development and Trade Ministry. It was obvious that the 2006-2015 government defense order would fall short in both the range and quality of products ordered
    Not in training, not in capability, not in production.

    This is not the USSR, but a pale, sad shadow.

    Right-wing nationalist populism and crony capitalism hollowed it out. A cautionary tale, but one your ideological blinders will force you to ignore.
