Chickens roosting all the way home
While the US and its NATO allies have poured billions of dollars worth of weapons into Ukraine in a bid to slow this advance, Haines claimed that “Putin most likely also judges that Russia has a greater ability and willingness to endure challenges than his adversaries,” and that “he is probably counting on US and EU resolve to weaken as food shortages, inflation and energy prices get worse.”
Notably, while the EU and US have been rocked by soaring inflation and record gas prices, the White House has until now insisted that Americans will not experience food shortages. Haines’ statement marks the first time that a US official has acknowledged that this may be a reality.
Doesn't work well when another copy of the exact same mag is behind it, unaltered.
Downed Russian fighter jets are being found with basic GPS 'taped to the dashboards,' UK defense minister.
Wrecked Russian fighter jets are being found with rudimentary GPS receivers "taped to the dashboards" in Ukraine because their inbuilt navigation systems are so bad, the UK's defense secretary, Ben Wallace, said.

Russian gas headed to Europe through Ukraine will stop flowing on Wednesday, Ukraine’s Gas Transmission System Operator (GTSOU) said on Tuesday. The flows will stop at 7 a.m. local time after Russia’s occupying forces disrupted gas transit operations in the area.
According to the operator, Ukraine will no longer be able to accept gas transit from Russia via Sokhranivka. The move has the potential to disrupt supplies to Europe if an alternative path isn’t found.
Ukraine sanctioning the EU
Elensky losing 3 planes, 9 choppers, and about 50 elite troops to just take a miserable piece of rock for PR.purposes
taking military advice from Porton Johnson
"Ok mates, here's what you're going to do, right? Ok right.. so you're going to get into that heli and you, into that skiff, and you're going to head out a bit that way, and you'll see the island, and you'll know what to do from there, you'll meet up with 007 and he'll guide you the rest of the way. Ok very good then, off you go.. god speed"
Russians get another slapping session.
Makes no sense to devote so much to capture a rock with no strategic value to Ukraine
So much for getting resupplied.
They talked about it online, so it's important
I agree it makes no sense as two M777 can s the island from shore (with M982 Excalibur rounds) at little cost to Ukrainians (it is only 35 km from Ukrainian shore).
It can be recaptured after russians realize it is too costly to keep troops there or at end of war.
Pootin destroying UKR cities to annex them into Russia? WTFF great way to capture "their hearts and minds"
Russia doesn't have the resources to rebuild destroyed cities and infrastructure, probably $100Bs
Part two of this suicide run and subsequent retreat!
