Just Dementia Joe being his normal self.

Boeing's hit squard is sure inventive with their methods. If it's Boeing, you ain't whistleblowing. https://www.seattletimes.com/business/whistleblower-josh-dean-of-boeing-supplier-spirit-aerosystems-has-died/

I'm not aware of this 6 months contract thing. What's it about?

https://www.lemonde.fr/en/international/article/2024/04/12/ukraine-anger-over-removal-of-demobilization-clause-from-troop-enlistment-bill_6668176_4.html Ukraine is not going to allow soldiers who fought for a long time to demobilize, which I think it's a mistake. It's absolutely demoralizing to...

In September 2022, the AFU had 1.1 million troops according to Ukrainian officials. Zelensky himself said the AFU was at 850k in an interview in Februrary 2024. They didn't stop drafting the entire time, and didn't let anybody demobilize. I suppose they just vanished into thin air? The fact...

Not important? Ukraine lost tens of thousand of men trying to capture it last year in its failed summer counteroffensive. Not important like Bakhmut and Avdiviika?

Ukraine reportedly lost Robotyne. The Russians made some considerable local gains in the past few days.

Russians claim they have captured Ocheretyne, and it seems to be corroborated by Ukrainian sources. https://deepstatemap.live/en#15/48.2443/37.6234 Supposedly one brigade left position without order while nearby units were rotating, and caused a gap in the defenses. Next major battle will be...

Well you better tell Ukrainian generals not to be so pessimistic then. https://www.politico.eu/article/ukraine-great-risk-front-line-collapse-war-russia/

Why don't you ask Zelensky? https://www.lemonde.fr/en/international/article/2024/04/07/zelensky-says-ukraine-will-lose-the-war-if-us-congress-keeps-blocking-aid_6667658_4.html

Ukraine will still lose by middle of 2025 even with the aid package counting. You severely overestimate your ability to change the final outcome.

Yeah not gonna support eugenics. Taken to extreme and you'd get guys with iconic mustaches.

The world is increasingly divided into camps and the lines are being drawn. US/EU/Japan/SK vs China/Russia/Iran/North Korea Consider Ukraine the equivalent of our generation's Spanish Civil War. The only question from now on is whether we're headed for another world war, or a second Cold War.

I think you're severely overestimating the ability of Murica to change the finality of the outcome. Ukrainian will be able to last another 6 to 9 months in the Donbass region and will inflict heavier casualties on the Russians a result of this package. Ukraine is still headed for a defeat in...

Huh, Murica somehow managed to find its ball sack and pass the foreign aid package. That will probably buy Ukraine another 6 to 9 months. Looks like I will likely have to use Trudeau avatar after July for a while.

MSM hilarity

It makes sense. Dead to wounded ratio is generally 1:4. Last time the CIA estimated Russia casualties to be around 350k, which would signify roughly 70k dead.

If you have 20 minutes, I highly recommend this read: https://www.rusi.org/explore-our-research/publications/commentary/attritional-art-war-lessons-russian-war-ukraine Probably the best professional analysis from UK on attritional warfare in Ukraine. Also if you are interested in air war...

You also have to consider the fact that it's not just Russia. It may trigger a foreign capital flight if they feel the West could seize their assets in the future. The Federal Reserve basically keeps the world's gold reserve in its vaults because Murica is the world's financier. It would cause...

They frozed it, but they are not actually taking that money yet. There is too much potential repercussion from such a precedent. Russia, on the other hand, actually took Murica's (and EU) shit because their financial credibility was garbage to begin with. This isn't the case with the US and the...
