Warfare Russia/Ukraine War

[primer]

I think that misses the point. The Ukrainians have fought well. Most of us support them in this fight. Most of us hope they are victorious.

But for the last decade, Ukraine has been someone's client state. The Client state of the US dept of State, the EU, Davos. The corruption has be mind boggling. Everyone was corrupt. Everyone made millions. I think I mentioned previously that this would be a discussion I'd like to have after this war is over. But it's an important discussion.

Both Mcgregor and while you're at it Tucker Carlson are of the opinion of, why should American kids go and fight and die for a foreign border when an American border has been completely abandoned and undefended. And I agree with that. That doesn't make anyone pro-Putin or anti-Ukrainian people. Just aware of what the powerful dynamics at play are.

American kids have had to fight for S**t hole dreams. These wars are still wrapped up in patriotism.

The school of thought is America first. Pivot to china etc. Trump plan. Ignored Ukraine. Clearly at the advice of this strategist.
Missing any Ukrainian knowledge as proven. Missing Ukraine booting out of the corrupt Russian puppet, new anti corruption laws and application to join EU. Clearly not a country that's aiming to remain part of the previous assumption and should automatically be relegated as client to good mate Putin who fears Trump. As prescribed in the interview and speeches.
Glad to have seen it and clarified whom we can appropriate blame on.

Is Putin attacking the backed up Baltic states. He tried there first and was rebutted. So he went for what he thought was the unsupported one. The weakling.
Point is they could have armed them. And start picking better countries to aid.

Ukraine may launch preventive missile strike on Belarus if decision made – Danilov

Ukraine may launch a preventive missile strike on Belarus if the commander-in-chief makes the appropriate decision, Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council Oleksiy Danilov has said.

en.interfax.com.ua

Chairman of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine Danilov says that Ukraine may launch a preventive missile strike on Belarus, "If necessary, if a decision is made by the commander-in-chief to do so, it will be done".

The issue over has Belarus sent its forces in, seems confused, so hopefully this threat is to keep them out.

After all, its a possibility that Belarus could be left on its own.....

EU already said there's a long way to consider Ukraine into the team. I doubt it will hapoen on shortime.

Turkey is another thing. The sultan needs to back down first.
I won't go off-topic on this one thou

First of all, Turkey is not made up of Erdogan, I don't know why there is such a perception. In this country, he was defeated in the last local elections, and he is going with the election that came with the election, even if it is bad. Also, when we shot down the Russian plane on November 24, 2015, it was our NATO allies (only the Spanish air defense systems remained) who pulled back the air defense missiles in Incirlik. The person who planned the July 15 coup d'état is currently walking around the USA waving his arms. Again, our western allies are the ones who gave the greatest support to the PKK, which killed 40,000 of our people. Yes, the government in our head has very strange mistakes, but those who are against it are no different from it. While our allies did not feel the Russian danger, we opposed the Russians with our blood and soul in Syria and Libya. If Russia attacked us today as it attacked Ukraine, do you think our allies would support us in this way?

Note the steel helmets.

These people are separatists from Donbas rather than regular Russian soldiers.

Morawiecki is a clown. Why Poland keeps importing so much coal from Russia, including Donbas, then? We have our own coal.

We had steel helmets when I Joined up, which was about 40 years ago.

We were highly chuffed when we got the plastic helmets. And SA80's, all in the same decade.

And S10 respirators!

And cam NBC suits.

And aviator sunglasses - I kid you not!

And desert cams, still make nice pyjamas - super soft cotton.

From Facebook -

"Best wishes to the lads leaving their families here in Ireland and heading over to the Ukraine to defend their homeland.
They have made their homes here but have loyalty to their country of origin,
More morals than any of the political class sitting on the fence.
Respect."
