The wha?
Send them to the Ukraine...
Yes that is a popular message.
Unfortunately its also a nonsense message.
Its not 1 collective financial pot. Its not the case that my underspend requires you to overspend.
But try explaining that to the googley eyed ranters who want something to be angry about, and shysters will happily supply.

i read elsewhere that washington has stated that the f16s can only be used over ukraine
Putin's family lives in Europe for protection from Russians and to have luxury. Take them hostage in exchange for the destruction of every one of those bombs. Could go even further and in exchange for withdrawal from Ukraine.
Have been keeping an eye on this last while.
Also Russia has just started mass production of 3000kg ( 6000lb ) guided bombs that are sufficient to obliterate any European city. I think this is similar to the US MOAB bombs ( 18,700-lb guided bomb ), a mini version .. pretty much nuke effect without nukes.
Russia has begun using a powerful aerial bomb that has decimated Ukrainian defenses and tilted the balance on the front lines. It has done so by converting a basic Soviet-era weapon into a gliding bomb that can cause a crater fifteen meters wide.
The bomb is the FAB-1500, essentially a 1.5-tonne weapon of which nearly half comprises high explosives. It is delivered from above by fighter jets from a distance of some 60-70 kilometers, out of range of many Ukrainian air defenses. The FAB-1500 is another example of how Russia is fighting its war in Ukraine, inflicting massive destruction before trying to take territory.
“Why they are using the FAB-1500? Because the damage done by it is very serious. If you survive, you are guaranteed to have a contusion.”
“It puts a lot of pressure on soldiers’ morale. Not all of our guys can withstand it. While they are more or less used to the FAB-500 by now, but the FAB-1500 is hell.”
I fear we could see this war over alot quicker than we might think .. absolutely in favour of Russia. If they start using these massive guided bombs from afar Ukraine is in serious trouble and will be leveled + 10s of 1000s killed alot faster.
I would imagine this is where Ukraine needs these F16s .. NOW, not in a few months or the summer, they dont have that time
@saabsaab We were typing similar at the same time .. :D
The only answer is modern fighter planes for Ukraine..
Big bombs ...
Oil war continues 45% affected now if true..
Point of Order - I thought it looked a little small for the Moscow flame - it's actually from the nearby town of Mozhaysk in the Moscow Region...There's a permanent military guard of honour on the Moscow monument.
Please tell us the lotto numbers for Friday pls seeing as you seem to know it all.
Until January 2025 anyway ( after that, if Trump gets in, bets off .. bring em back home to man the southern US borders )
I do worry for Ukraine
No you don't.
Russian kids are smart.
There are 10,000 US troops in Poland right now I believe.
I do worry for Ukraine, its just not having the ammunition its the lack of people that Ukraine can recruit for their army. The amount of their more experienced personnel that they have lost so far since USA aid has more or less dried up. I know they got 200 million over last few days but that's a drop in the ocean. That 60 billion would of saved so many Ukrainian lives that have otherwise died on the battlefield. Each hr and each day that Russia gets without Ukraine receiving this aid depletes Ukraine and gives Russia an advantage.
They could try to gain territory on a non NATO member..as a test and to show strength at home?
If russia attacks a nato country every power station, refinery and communication installation would be obliterated in days. Their cities would be in the dark and cold and chaos would ensue.
Their pathetic excuse for an invasion force would resemble the Iraqis in desert storm all over again. A big mop up job.
So much for the 'sun is too high in the sky' claims on here that this was old footage from the start of the war. Terrible shame, but at least one managed to take off and avoid the artillery.
True, Russian build up will be noticeable. Even more than that, Russia needs to mobilize a significant number of personnel, and that requires time.
Putin has just "won" the election and now he can start to mobilize cheap non-contract soldiers. The possible invasion of Baltic states won't happen today, or tomorrow. The good time for that is shortly after the Trump's inauguration as a president. Russia has already started creating the organisational structures for the war in the West:
The NRF can deploy 6,000 troops and supporting equipment, APCs within a month.
Is that a joke? The current size of the Ukrainian army (just the military staff) is 900,000. Russian active military personnel is 1,320,000.
Just to clear any misunderstanding. I am not saying that NATO/EU is weak and we just have to give up and give Putin whatever he wants. Just the opposite -- we must give Ukraine whatever it needs and more, and do it as soon as possible. Because if Ukraine is in a stalemate or losing, then Putin will escalate somewhere else. The funny thing about the escalation is that Putin does not need to win. He may just attack Estonia, his forces would be beaten back to the border, and then what happens? NATO stops at the border, right? And then Putin says -- I am open for negotiations on the Ukrainian question, or do you want me to attack Latvia next?
The Russians have improved their tactics significantly.
But the same holds for Russia. They were building up for over a year on Ukraine's border.
Also, what do you have in mind by 'sizeable' ? The NRF can deploy 6,000 troops and supporting equipment, APCs within a month.
And are you assuming that there will not be a coup or populist reaction/uprising , etc, etc, etc in Russia during all of this projected turmoil in Europe?
It’s incredible that the high level of superiority the UKr has of its airspace and over the Black Sea -and for a country which has no Mara time fleet and the Russians have shot down all of its planes!!!!! I’m sure that NATOhas taken note of that ????????
Of course, it is disturbing to think that Russia, with its disregard for human life and with its extensive experience in the modern conflict tactics, may jam GPS and most radio comms, and attempt to send waves of storm troopers across Estonian border.
couldn't take Kyiv
I would put the capabilities of the Ukrainian army in 2022 way, way above of the undoubtedly brave, yet tiny, Estonian army. And there is no magic teleport capability that could transfer a sizable army and enough equipment into Estonia within weeks. Unless the overwhelming air power can be brought upon the invaders, larger numbers will eventually win.
There is a ferverent ideological commitment to minimal self defense capabilities for most of Europe, things like self interest and belief in any long term security are frowned upon.
Trump can and has jolted Europeans before in to increasing defense capabilities against Russia but it was fought all the way by them.
The message that European States should pay their own way, not America is a popular message not just among Maga voters but Democrats as well.
They'll be a good game talked by most of Europe but it is only going to be the Eastern Europeans who remember the brutal reality of Soviet Socialism that are preparing for a fight.
It's a bit unrealistic to think that Russia, which couldn't take Kyiv, is going to capture some of the territory of a NATO member.
This is pure insanity. Putin isn't going to attack any NATO country and "dig in". Any Russian troops crossing any NATO border would be killed within hours. There is zero evidence that the Russian army has the equipment or capability to even reach Kiev for goodness sake.
