    The better option would be to send the troops into through belarus, this would force Ukraine to deploy everything it can to protect the vital flank as they have lots of supplies coming in through their.

    Unless the russians are worried they cannot properly supply or support the 2nd front from that direction.

    Regardless if true this is something they should have done day 1, the fact it took them so long to reach the conclusion this was necessary is sad

    they thought the enemy would flee... Shocked is it possible people are this stupid? You arrive with light infantry, they have tanks, arty, air power, mlrs. And you expect them to flee? I have no words.

    Well when you hear from your own side and you hear from your enemy which are you most hoping is right?

    When moving forward you have to believe your leadership knows what it is doing and that they actually want to win this conflict.

    How could they possibly get them to cross a river with minimal supplies if they knew the Russians are not fighting for territory, that instead they are trying to kill or capture as many ukrainian soldiers and equipment as they can with a small mobile force while preparing a much bigger force to go on the offensive when the enemy army show signs of real collapse...

    The orcs are  not so much stupid as isolated from the truth. The ones that continue  fighting for Kiev after they have some time on the front line and manage to work out the truth for themselves... they are the stupid ones.

    Regardless if true this is something they should have done day 1, the fact it took them so long to reach the conclusion this was necessary is sad

    They are not stupid.... if they wanted to take the whole country then the basic tactics of blitzkrieg still work... armoured forces rushing forward destroying rear units bypassing strong points that infantry and artillery and air power deal with in their own time... the problem is that rapidly occupying all of the Ukraine needs a much bigger force than they were using which means lots more supply units, all of which would be horribly vulnerable to guerilla groups that would attack supply lines and take prisoners and chip away at the Russian forces while trying to remain elusive and hidden amongst the civilian population... you know... like the Taliban did to HATO for 20 years.

    Instead of taking lots of territory, they created a meat grinder where Ukrainian troops came to them and were killed with air power and artillery and land mines and drones.

    Despite mounting casualties, the will...
    Most despicable piece of propaganda since 1945.

    And finance own debt by sucking what is left of the used to be wealthy and fatty auntie Europa.
    Which will be a very short-term measure. Next step: the cheque got lost in the mail.

    Find me a war, any war with any general, where stupid choices haven't been made. The only big mistakes I can think of made by Russa was parading near Kharkov and Kiev in the early days of the war and not knocking down bridges over the Dniepr and withdrawing from northeast Ukraine. Other than that, they have fought the war on their terms and are making Ukraine fight the war they want to fight. 27,000 dead (with 75,000 more wounded is sad, but Ukraine has conservatively lost 400 thousand dead and 1.2 million wounded. The mystique of NATO weaponry is gone. The myth of the superiority of NATO standard is gone. Russia has a land bridge to Crimea, has greatly reduced the shelling anr killing of civilians in Donbass, and while Ukraine wants a military industry, theirs is reduced to rubble. The great offensive? They actually now have less territory than when they began. Their biggest successes are terrorist attacks which do nothing to stop Russia. So yeah, Russia made mistakes. There's a reason Moltke said your plans never survive first contact with the enemy

    It is already ongoing, I will focus your attention.
    Generated inflation is nothing else rather than sucking the wealth accumulated by the generations of wealthy Europeans.
    And the debt spiral is only starting.
    Take a look at the debt created money they pumped under cover of post-covid economy restoration.
    Here comes the interesting part : Poland was cut off those funds under some fishy causes smelling by a mile.
    So the economy recovered and developed perfectly well without it.
    There is no physical need for pumping into economy money created by debt emission. And the same scenario would have worked in every other EU member state. Euro average economy slide was 6.6% (!!), so there is no need for E2+ trillion "stimulation package". Especially if we consider that a lot of money was already pumped into it in tons of different programs.
    So what is the goal of that?
    Well, it is a horrific debt increase spread among all the Europeans, no matter how preventive their own governments has been. Debt emitted without EU nation states supervision and jurisdiction, but presented to them all as some fukin Xmas tree gifts. A friend of mine, who already calculated those money twice in his company budget, as he would benefit with those, answered to me "no, only part of it will be a loan, the other part will be a grant!".
    Holly shit!
    A loan you must give back, and a grant financed with ECB emitted bonds to be paid with interest later? Laughing
    To finance something that already recovered all by itself?!?

    Putin described this situation at Munich, back in 2007. He described perfectly well how the things will proceed in Europe, and where that all is going. And you know what? He was fukin' right with every single word, as fukin' ALWAYS cry

    The Kiev and north-east "parade" with around 100,000 troops was designed to shock and awe the Kiev regime into a peace deal.
    It succeed in this regard until NATzO instructed the Kiev regime to tear it up. I do not think it is a mistake to try to avoid bloody war.
    The world knows what went down when BoJo visited Kiev. Attempts to cover it up by claiming there were some other negotiations
    that nobody every heard about before which Putin "broke off" are pathetic.

    There was no military mistake. No collection of Russian generals would believe that 100,000 troops are enough to take over the whole
    of Ukria in a blitzkrieg. Give them some credit, they are not internet fanboi wankers.

    The worst in this story is a fact, that people with this kind of harsh statements are living in a bubble filled with own farts, unable to smell the roses.
    First, you have a moron from the Pentagon claiming that Kiev will fall in 3 days.
    One applies that moronic statement to the Russkie as a second step.
    And call them ignorant because they have not succeeded in something that was never their goal.
    It is fukin amazing, how short memory and lack of linking the dots some people can represent.

    We have a nafo propagandists like Rob Lee that already admitted that all of the farts they made in early 2022 were a piece of shit based on crappy knowledge.
    This house of cards is falling apart in front of us, yet there are still people who are trying to feed the people with coolaid and being shocked it isn't working anymore.
    By April 2022 the original Ukrainian army was destroyed.
    The one they have been building for 8 years. The one that was supplied by the whole collective west, fed with Wunderwaffles. With planes full of Javelins delivered daily basis, Bayraktars became a symbol.
    Supplied by their own military&industrial complex that delivered high end production made in their own production hubs.
    GPS guided 100+km range MLRS. 300 km ranged cruise missiles. Modern tanks. Serially upgraded Buk systems. Top notch antitank weapon, including a killer Stugna. And not much worse Korsar.
    A fukin' 400+k strong army, national guard and other military, battle hardned, trained, equipped, motivated and nazi lead/oriented.
    They have been smashed. Simply crushed, as a pig challenging RAM truck.
    Oh yeah, sure. We had some vids for nafo incels to wank each other, showing some Russkie VDV BMDs burning, and corpses lined. We had a few ambushes, with the Russian armor columns being hit by both light AT weapon and artillery.
    What did that changed?
    By April 2022, this army was non existing, Zelensky was hiding in Poland, EU was shitting their pants, and a peace treaty was almost signed in Istambul.
    I will repeat that again. All the blood is on the Anglosaxon hands, and I have no idea what arguments they have used to push the Ukro leading class to commit this mass suicide. Other than personal interests. All the bloody money they can steal.

    The US government allows people of colour to enter their country so that a large percentage of them can be drafted in the army. This seems to be another effort in that direction. Probably the US will now send troops to Ukraine, albeit as American private military contractor

    Late Roman Empire vibes, but back then the Germanics were the superior warrior stock compared to the indolent Romans so the empire was actually getting a pretty good deal for a time. Not comparable in any way to the third world detritus that will flood the ranks of the neo US army and will only drag down the institution further into the ground.

    Illegal troops and prisoners don't need much training

    They just need basic kit, and just attack frontally a hardened site

    They take the losses, the main force just maneuvers around and takes the ground with minimal losses

    That's what Bakhmut and Avdeevka were about

    You need fodder , and from 2014-2022 LDNR provided that role, now you have prisoners doing it

    Not a bad idea to recruit illegals for it

    not knocking down bridges over the Dniepr
    When you want your enemy to reach your well protected and staffed lines to annihilate him you don´t destroy the means
    for him to reach you.

    withdrawing from northeast Ukraine
    That was needed to show the public that a mobilisation was neccessary.

    ❗The Russian Armed Forces are breaking through to Chasov Yar in the Artemovsk direction

    According to Come and See , the Russian army is actively advancing in the Artemovsk direction.

    “Several positions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces have been taken. Promotion is towards Chasov Yar,” said the channel’s source.

    According to him, Ukrainian troops are retreating, including prisoners.

    If Chasov Yar is captured, Russian troops will be able to threaten the Ukrainian Armed Forces in Kramatorsk.

    Alans - Iranians

    Antes - supposedly "Slavs" or "Eastern Slavs" but their name is apparently Iranian.

    Huns - Yeniseyans

    Goths - Iranians

    Taifals - uncertain origin, probably Iranians, some think they were a splinter group of the Goths.

    Yaziges - Iranians

    Sarmatians - Iranians

    Rosomons - Iranians



    This is rarely mentioned in the Western sources, but Arabs for a long time believed the Goths were of Persian origin.

    And contrary to what some people think the Huns were not really Turkic.

    On f16.net the main mod is talking about using HARM on f16 to go after S400

    I think this shit is funny

    They really pretend they will be flying lo-lo-lo and attacking S400 in an f16

    They want to use MALD, and S125 to get S400 to work, and then use HARM from F16

    I guess they don't think SHORADS or VSHORADS would be the primary systems working on them, not s400

    They think the advantage of link16, would give their airpower more situational awareness because of E3 and Global Hawk

    I do agree with that part, those F16 are not gonna be blind or reliant on ground radar, they're gonna have a full battle picture

    But then again so do SU35 and Mig31, and what chance does an f16 have against R37 or R77 streaking down at max range? If VKS is dropping JDAMski at 70km+ they can definitely lob R77 and R37 at max range to F16 that Try to do some kind of SEAD on s400

    Not only that, but if as the mod says, F16 won't fly at 30k meters waiting to get spiked, what will it do? It doesn't have range to fly from Lvov to Crimea and back with decent payload, it would have to take off from closer bases

    And even if they somehow get range to fly from lvov , kinzhal will still **** their day up

    Russian su-24 shot down around snake island probably be patriot. There was a su-30SM with it but wasn't touched.

    IMO it could be some f-35 + amraam operating from Bulgaria or Romania.

    You think that f35 tracked su24 for patriot ?

    Maybe the su30 ECM is what kept it alive

    BTW December 15 is the major date to pass additional Ukraine funding

    And December 14 is the EU date to pass the budget for 50-60billion EUR of Ukraine aid

    Both are under attack as there is a lot of resistance to the aid packages, but you never know

    Well I believed it ! And the reason ? Well they were dealing with Nazi rabble ! Hooligans in uniform ! Killers of innocent Russian civilians ! And they , themselves , were the great Russian Soviet Army ! What smashed Nazi Germany in WW2 ! So I expected the Russian population in Ukraine to rise up , together with the enslaved Ukrainians , their liberators and brotherly Russian nation . Rise up against Nazism ! I did not expect brazen support and so much of it , from NATO . I did not expect Russia to allow crossing of so many red lines . And I did not expect as much nationalistic fever from the Ukrainian side . And nor I think rightly did the Russian generals or anybody else . Every nation's collective consciousness , depends on their history . The Americans being influenced by the wars against the Red- Indian tribes , the Civil war , the World wars , Vietnam , Iraq etc . As the historic distance grows , so is dimmed these event's historical influence on the public psyche . It is the same for Russia . The organism remembering and adopting it's most recent and successful stance . Nothing to do with making mistakes . A question of historical experience , and genuine viewpoint applied to new situations .The Americans in Iraq , were still thinking , they were fighting in Vietnam . People own Dogs in modern cities , but hunter gatherer tribes , went out of fashion 40,000 years ago !

    They think the advantage of link16, would give their airpower more situational awareness because of E3 and Global Hawk

    I do agree with that part, those F16 are not gonna be blind or reliant on ground radar, they're gonna have a full battle picture

    If that were likely to happen then there must be a very good chance that the US would be advised that the Global Hawk as a minimum would be regarded as an integral part of the F-16 attack system and therefore a target.

    The Belgians are now saying 2025 for their F-16 and the Dutch have a new PM that doesn't want to help Ukraine, so it may all be academic.

    Or if they fly them from Romania, it could mean those bases also become military targets

    But what i think Russia should do, is use Mig31 to fire on E3 AWACS from Belarus

    These things are patrolling close to Belarus border, and R37 has the range to hit at AWACS over Poland

    As soon as they detect transmission over Link 16, it's time to bag one of those birds
