I communicate quite often with Israelis in the crypto and investment fields. I will say most of them are just normal people. Some disagree with Putin, some agree but on average they all have a care for Russia. It's the Russians living in France, UK, US and alike are more of a problem.
When some people leave their home country the burn their bridges... sometimes because of the reason they are leaving, sometimes so they can't go back so they have to make it work and wont just run back home at the first hurdle...
Guys I have seen the results of Kalibr strike in Nikolayevsk
It's not pretty... VSU guys are in pieces
They don't surrender, it's incredible , I guess they want more ffs
Don't want the hardcore nutters to surrender, just the conscripts who never wanted to be there in the first place.
It's shame they didn't see this from beginning
How can they ever expected to win against Russia?
Guess few more days of this and it will sink in
They believe the US will save them, they believe the Russians eat babies and don't take prisoners anyway... when NZers were signing up to go to war in WWII they were told the Japanese fighters were made of rice paper and couldn't fly when it rained, and those going to the western front it was all the British Empire was finally getting the chance to show the Hun who the real boss was... it was a big overseas adventure... till they got there and found out the truth, but by then you were thousands of kms from home with no way out.
The Ukrainians who changed their minds are likely chained to things so they can't leave...
These words hit hard. It is indeed a unique war that has not been seen before.
Considering all the morality wars the west has engaged in... including right back to the Christian Crusades... he is right... and you are right about how sad it is.
But most westerners will make a list, but that list wont bear scrutiny... countries are made poor and destroyed from the air to effect regime change... no lives are spared or even considered.
That has already been tried before, for example by the Third Reich with its Luftwaffe Field Divisions.
Also, there is the RAF Regiment, which I believe still exists.
So it is not really an original idea.
What it is is an idea of desperation...
Honestly, I think the numbers they are giving for Russian dead are probably closer to Ukraine's numbers. Also, keep in mind that this is the west and I will never forget how they destroyed every tank in the Serbian army in 1999 and it turned out they destroyed what 3 tanks and a radar truck.
According to the CIA the Soviets lost 50K in Afghanistan in the 1980s... they later revised it down to the 16-17 thousand the Soviets admitted to losing.
Gotta give the Ukie's credit tho, they are exploiting the weaknesses of the Russians well and exploiting their tactics.
They are not winning anything except the propaganda war which they had in the bag in the west... except here of course.
The orcs get credit for finally getting the bear to attack them... great work, but they don't seem happy or proud... they have been telling everyone who will listen that the rebels in Donbass and Lugansk are all Russians and fully Russian back so nothing should have actually changed, yet now they are squealing for help from HATO and the EU and US... and not getting it.
All they had to do was talk to those regions, not allow US bio weapons labs on their territory, and not mention nuclear weapons capability... and they couldn't do any of those things... they had a chance to solve the issues of the time with discussions and they chose to instead wind up the bear, so no credit, no credit at all to the orcs... they did the worst possible thing they could possibly do and now lots of people are dying because of it.
An emotional fueled post, don't make these towards me. They are childish.
Everything he said was true and relevant... you expect us to give credit to those cowards who clearly just want to kill as many Russians as they can and don't care about their own people who get in the way... in fact moving their own civilians into the path of the war so they can keep fighting a little longer.
They are truly acting like Nazis and surprise surprise you defend them...
They took advantage of poor Russian recon, they setup proper ambushes and made the Russians pay. There are many other examples of where they exploited the russians.
Yeah... giving any credit to the Taliban in Afghanistan with their IEDs and VIEDs who did the same... also against a more powerful enemy?
Yes, they used Putins dumbass little "play nice" orders against the Russians, War isn't fair nor is it nice and last I checked exploring your enemy orders to use against them is just what I said.
That is why you are pissy.... the Russians have morals and ethics and as a western soldier it burns, it hurts you to think their commander in chief will only send them into harms way when he absolutely has to and still respects life, when you leaders will send you to war if the price of oil goes up too high...
"minimize casualties among non-combatants AND the Ukrainian military"
Well actually minimising casualties amongst non compatants is actually already a thing that you should already be aware of, but the way the US butchered the Iraqi army withdrawing from Kuwait I understand why you don't understand the second... but let me spell it out... if you had gotten rid of Saddam but kept his political party and his army they wouldn't be so friendly with Iran as they are now and Saddams officers and soldiers that were left without jobs wouldn't have started ISIS leading to your problems in Iraq and Afghanistan and even Syria because you really only wanted the Kurds there didn't you.
Tell your men not to kill someone trying to kill them is an exploitable weakness.
Telling your men not to kill people who are civilian and unarmed or armed but disarming and surrendering is avoiding committing warcrimes... anyone with a weapon that clearly is prepared to use it or will not drop it will be shot... they are not a Euro army with flowers and hugs.
Tactics and Strategy do not care about feelings.
No they don't, but the plan is actually to leave at some stage... I know.... alien concept to an American... and if they went in there massacring everything in some scortched earth raid then any states that form will naturally be hostile.
They are going in there to remove the nazis... not to be nazis... they are not the US Army.
Of course they will find things to exploit. It's a battle of wits and adaptability
And that communication can be exploited too... and the support to Russias enemy can be repaid in kind... eventually... Iran could probably do with more Igla-S level missiles... I suspect the Palestinians could probably use some stingers... the donbass forces can use the anti armour rockets, but likely wont have much use for thousands of stingers...
Why did the Ukrainian and Slovakian S 300 perform so poorly if they are supposed to be a good air defense system? Is it because they are export models or old?
The Russians know exactly how they work, and those Slovakian missiles never went to the Ukraine, they stayed in Slovakia and pose a real threat to HATO aircraft when they exercise with them...
Individual systems of anything can be overwhelmed and defeated... good recon and good intel and the right weapons and equipment.
They are playing ...
Underground hardened targets, the Kinzhal would be ideal... it is just a faster Iskander really... the increased speed would make penetration better...
At this point, I really wonder why Ukrainian forces don't mutiny.
They likely get updates and reports from western sources rather than valid sources so they likely think they are doing well.
Once it starts, a chain-reaction will follow
Hope so... it is the best solution...
I don't know about Russia's doctrine on nuclear weapons , but if what you say about the West's plan , then it makes more sense to my mind . Gradual escalation has a deterrence value , and sudden escalation to " MAD " , has no deterrence value .
The difference is strategy.... the west thinks it can win a nuclear war, by destroying or disabling Russias nuclear weapon capacity... shoot down their bombers, sink their subs, use AEGIS ships in the Arctic ocean and pacific and atlantic oceans and F-35s and F-22s in their own airspace to shoot down ICBMs and SLBMs and air launched cruise missiles respectively, and they also have their ABM missiles in Alaska and mainland US as well as some in Europe and was going to be some in Japan too, so if they can destroy as many as possible Russian nukes and intercept the rest then they might survive a nuclear war largely unscathed.
Russia does not think the same way... their ABM system and new ABM systems are to delay the effects of nuclear strikes on their nuclear attack capability and their command structure so the launch command will always get through and nuclear weapons will also always get through to destroy the west... most will destroy cities, but any nuclear weapons reserves will also be hit to prevent later follow up attacks with extra weapons.
There is no escalation... a western attack on Russia is a red line... it might be responded directly to with nukes to deter any follow up attacks... if HATO backs down then perhaps that is deterrence right there but if they escalate with more powerful nukes then the nuclear war starts and everything will be launched before the west can destroy it.
I think there can be many levels of escalation , before MAD , that both sides can walk away from .
The west is standing by its bio weapons labs and soon to nuclear armed nazis in the Ukraine... when is it that they will walk away from that?
Otherwise nukes are useless ornaments without any deterrence value . Used too late , and as real weapons of mass destruction , in the face of existential threat !
They can be used of course.
If HATO massed 2 million troops on the border of Belarus and Russian Kaliningrad, and started to attack Kaliningrad, those attacking forces will be nuked because the possibility of getting enough troops to Kaliningrad to stop 2 million would be zero.
The troops in Kaliningrad likely have some tactical nukes just in case it is needed... some Iskander missiles would be ideal for the job of taking out hostile enemy troops on the border.
They're encircled and are being decimated in the field, and they're taking huge losses in the rear too, but they have "strategic initiative and operational momentum"...
Trapped and taking a pounding from the rear... there are many in the west who dream about that I am sure... and would not be upset at all.
No sane man can feel the pleasure of others' misery.
Yeah, call it what you like but the west supplying weapons is just taking longer to commit suicide for Ukraine.
For the Russians shooting civilian fools with rockets they probably think will instantly vapourise any vehicle it hits, is probably just a chore they take no pleasure in...
