It's a plan really to equalise the war criminal Putin and the Kremlin with the oppressed of Ukraine on the world stage.
Meanwhile behind the scenes Trump and Musk's plan to make the US into Belarus and subservient to the Kremlin rumbles along.
From a Ukrainian telegram:
"I'll explain what motorcycles give. This is a more difficult target for UAVs, because it's small, so it's not a tank, and it's not a beha. Plus, each motorcycle costs one FPV, while a box can be blown up with one, and then another to blow up a crowd of infantry. Motorcycles allow the underdogs to reduce the time they spend in kill zones, so new realities of war, bitch."
Armoured train's now
Seems like the AFU are still using those narco-designed bombs. Just need to consult with them on motorcycle-specific ordnance. Maybe we can send our man from Kerry to be the go-between, shorten the duration of his sentence in exchange /s
The new line as articulated by Rubio seems to be "a plague on both your houses." The problem is if that plays out as would be expected the consequences would be far more severe for Ukraine…
While the AFU are having good success in eliminating these assaults I've also seen footage that the motorbike groups can have moderate success in overcoming defensive lines. Seems drones have trouble hitting them.
They'd wanna be careful.
Never turn your back on a Breen
With "allies" like these...
And what about maintaining/ increasing the sanctions by. The US. There is no mention about this re the US pulling out if negotiations fail. Did Trump not say away back that if Russia do not agree to a ceasefire/ to stop the killing that he would have no option but to support Ukr or something along those lines?
and take Breenland by force if necessary
So basically the Ukrainian prisoners will look like inmates of a WW2 Belsen concentration camp, whilst the Russians have been treated in accordance with the Geneva convention on the rights of prisoners of war regulations.
**** Russia & Putin. Just a scumbag Nazi fascist state under the control of the most evil leader of the 21st century.
am I missing something here? So Rubio threatens America will walk away from the entire situation if there isn’t serious progress towards a peace deal within days. Does this not mean if Putin keeps obstructing and refusing to make serious concessions he will be rewarded by America pulling military support for Ukraine as part of its broader withdrawal?
So why doesn't Trump come to Putin's Aid with the Ukrainian incursions into Kursk & Belgorod?
If Trump recognizes crimea as Russia and then Ukraine advance there Trump comes to his friends aid.
The Americans are trying to get both sides to stop and agree something which is unpalatable to both. Presumably they want to shift focus to Iran and China and are concerned about their resource capabilities, They don't have enough to sustain 3 wars, hence the willingness to do a deal with Russia. Geo-politically Trump has kicked a hornet's nest.
We are living through interesting times.
What difference does it make? If they pull support what they recognize or not is irrelevant , they will have no influence over the facts.

Agent Krasnov strikes again.
Video of another HIMARS launcher destroyed by an Islander missile. I think that's the 3rd or 4th now which isn't too bad in 3 years but a bad loss none the less.
No Taurus officially yet, but it's a damn good package.
Ukraine has been revolutionising the modern battlefield and it would be great if Ireland could help them out by setting up manufacturing for something like the drone detailed in this article:
https://militarnyi.com/en/articles/exclusive-ukraine-s-techno-taras-budget-interceptor-drone-detailed-to-militarnyi/
Still think that Trump pulling out of supplying weapons to Ukraine would be shooting their arms industry in the foot but with the way he has acted in recent weeks this seems entirely possible. All of Europe will benefit from further support for Ukraine's armed forces and arms industry.
Maybe word is finally getting out about the meat grinder
Maybe he is insane but I doubt it. Politics on the highest levels is normally insane. It doesn't go by the rules of normal life. Trump says he wants to stop the killing in Ukraine but he will bring hell to Yemen and Gaza. The truth is, his "concern" for life is just another playing card in high politics. Realpolitik/insanity.
Basically Trump wants Ukraine and Europe to agree to all of Putin's demands, and if they don't '' they are fools ''
You'd have to wonder when leaders are going to question publicly what Putin has on Trump. That discussion needs to be taking place, even deals with other leaders to dismiss it as AI what ever it is.
Large prisoner swap tomorrow
A lot done more to do, as a famous election poster once said.
And there is a lot more to do, and faster. Germany is prime example: yes, it has helped a lot, but under Scholz always gave everything too late and only if Biden went first. What Europe, including Germany under Merz, must do is lead and show initiative, because the US is clearly not going to play that role under Trump
Agreed. Ukraine's showed the importance of strategic thinking in the presence of limited materiel. Ireland has a fair amount of technology savvy, and could be doing things with surveillance and drone tech. Not saying we're should load up on ships and tanks and missile systems, but lighter-investment tech should be something we're investigating. If Iran can manufacture drones, why not Ireland?
We still have most if not all of the opposition parties opposed to the proposed & planned Irish Defence Forces military build up as recommended by the Defence Commission report BEFORE this war escalated in 2022.
It's a valid opinion to demand that Ireland stays neutral whilst upgrading it's defence budget & also co-operating with EU & European nations in international security matters.
However objecting to Ireland even increasing it's current low level military budget & capacity in a very dangerous world situation nowadays & for the foreseeable future is the cowardly policy of traitors.
It could even be argued that some of these elected opposition politicians are under the influence of certain overseas powers.
Trump seems insane. I wouldn't put anything past him. Signs of dementia as welll, and he's under even more pressure than last year. Plus, even when he seemed sane, he was never the brightest penny in the wallet.
Europe's doing the right thing, Ireland should arm itself as well.
One big issue will be US Military manufacturing; As soon as Europe said they'd increase they're own production Rubio started to squeal immediately. It's a massive enterprise and a big employer. Cutting off Ukraine would be a big loss financially but wars like Ukraine are also a massive R&D opportunity. How they can get in the Presidents ear will be a big issue.
I'm not convinced Trump will go through with this if he is confronted with the likely consequences. Maybe he could live with Russia overrunning Ukraine but we all know Putin would not stop there…
If they move on hopefully the US keeps sending supplies or at the very least allow Europe to buy them.
