Ukrainian drone superiority
https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/123088571#Comment_123088571The Ukrainian Commanders paint a very different picture to Zelensky
A "Dire lack of infantry" being the biggest current issue
Bavovnas all over russia. Good.
I could watch it all day.
Okay but that's just the Russians realising Trump takes the same fundamental line on Ukraine as Biden and the rest of the American establishment and responding as might be expected.
This is welcome as far as it goes but leaves the conflict pretty much where it was a week ago. The poster I was responding to claimed
Trump is pushing Russia to end the war in Ukraine.
by threatening sanctions and tariffs, which seems to me like the inverse of the old American diplomatic aprroach of speak softly and carry a big stick
which in fairness might be all his hands can manage…
Worse video I have seen in Ukraine In a long time maybe since it started was the other day when a Ukrainian soldier ended up in a 1 on 1 knife fight with a Russian. Ukrainian had the video on his go pro camera on his helmet and there was a Russian drone filming it from above. Bloody vicious video, make your stomach churn. Wish it hadn't popped up as wasn't expecting what I saw on it.
Billions of dollars worth of oil and infrastructure quite literally going up in smoke.
"dire lack of infantry"
Is that why putler is begging the North Koreans to fight his battles in Kursk?
Russians burned down their own village.

Trump blamed Ukraine for the war because they should have surrendered before it started.

Thursday on Hannity’s program.
After Hannity asked about Trump’s threat to impose tariffs as a penalty on Russia if the Ukrainian war continues much longer, Trump responded that Zelensky “has had enough” and “wants to settle” with Russian president Vladimir Putin.
Zelensky, he said, is “no angel” and “shouldn’t have allowed this war to happen,” even though it was Russia that invaded Ukraine.
“First of all, he’s fighting a much bigger entity, okay, much bigger. When he was, you know, talking so brave... Zelensky was fighting a much bigger entity, much bigger, much more powerful. He shouldn’t have done that, because we could have made a deal, and it would have been a deal that would have been, it would have been a nothing deal,” Trump claimed.
He added that had he been in Zelensky’s position he could have “made that deal so easily.” He claimed that it was the Ukrainian leader who decided on hostilities even though it was Putin who ordered the invasion of Ukraine that violated a 1994 agreement. Russia and the United States agreed then to guarantee Kyiv’s security in exchange for Ukraine’s government giving up Soviet-era nuclear weapons that had been stored there before the 1991 breakup of the Soviet Union.
Very difficult to see any deal that would involve Putin giving back any of the land that he has grabbed ,doesn't stack up no matter what Trump says at this stage just can't see an end to it yet .Sure a deal could happen but it will suit Putin far more than Ukraine .
Putin should be looking for an off ramp, his country is hurting in so many ways. He is not in a strong negotiating position.
May be true…
^^^ wanted poster for three North Korean heroes!
I am not sure the goldfish-memory Trump could understand the intricacies of Ukraine-Russia relations prior the full scale invasion in 2022.
Russia, the gift to the world that keeps on giving 😭

I really hope you are right just think he has a bit to go yet seeing the way he acts .
Not much point trying to reason with Putler as the new man in the White House will soon find out
“I’m going to do Russia, whose Economy is failing, and President Putin, a very big FAVOR. Settle now, and STOP this ridiculous War! IT’S ONLY GOING TO GET WORSE.”

The Russian backed dictator in Belarus is rigging up his re-election…
Remember this is the sort of Russian propped up dictator Putin would put in place in Ukraine if he could.
Lukashenko was dubbed “Europe’s last dictator” early in his tenure, and he has lived up to that nickname, harshly silencing dissent and extending his rule through elections that the West has called neither free nor fair…. That election to his sixth term was widely seen at home and abroad as rigged, and it sparked months of massive protests, the largest ever seen in Belarus. Authorities responded with a sweeping crackdown in which over 65,000 people were arrested, thousands were beaten by police and hundreds of independent media outlets and nongovernmental organizations were closed and outlawed, drawing Western sanctions. Leading opposition figures have either been imprisoned or fled the country. Human rights activists say Belarus holds about 1,300 political prisoners, including Nobel Peace Prize laureate Ales Bialiatski, the founder of the country’s top rights group, Viasna.

Add to all that the forced landing of an Irish airplane which was transiting their airspace in order to arrest an anti government journalist & his girlfriend.
Hopefully things are a bit more chaotic for him this time round given his master/enabler is 'busy' elsewhere..
It's interesting how Putin is trying to make Russia a superpower like the USSR once was at the same time Trump as the anti government President is completely weakening the US's standing in the world. They both want to make everything great again, but their methods are only hastening decline.
The war in Afghanistan didn't go well for the glorious soviet empire and probably helped speed up its decline. This war might help speed up the decline of the current kleptocracy.
Seems like the Trumpian vision of world stability is one in which an authoritarian alliance of US/Russia/China runs the world, and where spheres of influence relate directly to geographical proximity. Deals can be done over the rest, i.e. Africa. Very 1984, i.e. Oceania, Eurasia and East-Asia.
The billboard says stability.
I wouldn't cite China alongside the 20th century superpowers. Their empire is trade, whereas both Russia and USA sense of self importance is defined by force.
The ROC and PRC is very much a civil war legacy.
If this is true does Mossad have anything on Trump?
Interesting. I have never seen a satisfactory explanation as to the source of Epstein's wealth.
Ghislaine's father was deeply involved with intelligence services, including Mossad. I always thought there was something odd about that case. G. Maxwell seems too normal to be a child abuser. Seems she and Epstein and maybe prince Andrew were hung out to dry to dismantle the honey trap.
Another kh-59 destroyed.
Time for Europe to step up… it’s not a shock.
