    Durandel, Pitt Bull, and Richard Franks:

    Zalensky is now saying that in August when the arms from the US arrives, that Ukraine will retake the country - even Crimea. Hey Zalensky wake up. Ukraine is gone. Finito! Any arms that crosses the border will be blown up like the rest.


    Ukraine's Foreign Minister Dmitro Kuleba, described Russia's latest attacks, as "the largest [attack] on European soil since the second world war. The situation on the eastern front is extremely difficult, and the fate of our country will be determined there."

    Gaidai, the Ukrainian commander of Lugasnk confirmed at noon, that the Russians are attacking from all directions and their artillery is such, that night has become day in Donbass. There are at least 40,000 Russian soldiers converging from all different directions and by the end of the week the situation will be worse. The Lysichansk-Bakhmut highway is under full control of Russian artillery and Russian Spetsnaz teams are now working there .

    If Ukrainian forces are not ordered to withdraw from important cities where they are now surrounded, then Kiev will lose many thousands of soldiers and we will see another repeat like Mariupol. The Russians are now just 15 km from bakhmut's junction. Once they arrive, Ukrainian forces will have lost all hope of refueling in Donbass.

    These 3 High-Tech NATO Weapons Could Force Russia to Flee Ukraine
    Kyle Mizokami
    Wed, May 25, 2022, 10:28 AM

    With its defenses already bolstered by shipments of weapons from NATO, Ukraine now has a new wishlist of weapons it hopes will prove decisive in the ongoing war with Russia. Kyiv has asked for long-range rocket artillery, attack drones, and anti-ship missiles to beat back the Russian invasion, and already at least one NATO ally, Denmark, has pledged to step up. The weapons are more necessary than ever as a fresh Russian offensive makes gains in the Ukrainian state of Luhansk.

    Ukraine already fields all three of those weapon types, as Defense News points out, but U.S. and NATO-made versions would be both more technologically advanced and generally more capable. The weapons would serve alongside those already provided by NATO, including Javelin anti-tank missiles, NLAW anti-tank rockets, M777 howitzers, and Switchblade kamikaze drones.

    M142 HIMARS Rocket Artillery System

    The U.S.-made HIMARS is at the top of the list. The High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) is an armored five-ton truck equipped to launch 227-millimeter (8.93-inch diameter) rockets. Each HIMARS carries six GPS-enabled Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System (GMLRS) rockets. And, according to the U.S. Army, each conducts “high-volume destructive, suppressive, and counter-battery fires,” or artillery missions at ranges of up to 43 miles. HIMARS can “out-stick” most Russian artillery, firing on it from beyond the range of Russian guns and rocket launchers.

    ... https://news.yahoo.com/3-high-tech-nato-weapons-152800116.html

    I'm all for it, of course. Give them what they need to beat the invaders back and force them out!

    They were in Ukraine....Gerasimov was "slightly injured"....haven't seen a live visual of him since?

    Slightly injured in Russian terms could mean both legs missing.

    Yeah, Gerasimov is MIA after that injury. I’m beginning to think that he died.

    Nothing was blown up. All howitzers are still shooting at Russians. Caesars just arrived to the front lines too.
    And videos with switchblades charbroiling Russian fascists are beginning to circulate online. And yes - Ukraine might have a good shot at retaking Crimea in a few months from now.

    Provided the deliveries keep up and they get more of what they need, I'd have to agree. Ukraine will eventually in a position to retake all of their lost territory.

    They’ll have their best shot only this year. The more the war drags on, the more fatigue we will see from Ukraine’s sympathizers. In the upcoming elections many politicians who challenge incumbents will start questioning the costs of this war and will either start calling for direct involvement to speed things up, or will call for pressuring Ukraine to accept some territorial losses. All of that equipment we and our allies are sending has real cost attached to it and this equipment will have to be replenished. Russia is experiencing deep pain, but our countries and their residents are taking a hit too and local politicians will eventually start to exploit this reality. I think this is the reason why almost all analysts and publications pushing the message that Ukraine will start a serious counter attack in July-August.
    I just hope this is over by the end of this year and we can hope to have a normal year in 2023. That’s if monkey pox drops off from the back of the truck and we don’t shut down global economy and force everyone to isolate again.

    Hey Durandel, stop dreaming and start facing reality. The minute weapons cross the border into Ukraine, Russia attacks them with missiles from their ships in the Black and Caspian Sea. How do you think they've been hitting the arms shipments and training camps in Lviv and along the Polish border? But look, if it kills more Ukrainian conscripts and fills the pockets of the investors in the Military Industrial Complex, then who cares right? Certainly not you.

    The only hope the idiot Zalensky and his Washington handlers have, is that Russia will run out of arms - which is ridiculous. Russia has all the material and components to make arms. Other than that, Moscow has no place to spend the money that's been pouring in from their sale of oil, gas, wheat, and fertilizer because of the sanctions.

    Or to kill off more of their men, which might be Zalensky's real intent. Who knows, with sociopaths anything goes.

    Well, I’m glad that Jenny admitted that she is a sociopath in her little poem.

    At least I discovered Putin is proud of his troops for their efforts in Ukraine. The Russian soldiers ought to realize that Ukraine is going full force to defend their lands against Russia and for Russia, It's easier said than done.



    Ukraine is still in the game and it will take a lot more to take them down and take them down taking away their democracy, humanity, freedom and their way of life. The game isn't over yet by a long shot.

    Uk govt is discussing a £10b tax charge on our energy firms tomorrow as a list ditch attempt to keep millions of ppl here going into dire poverty. Our govts decision to arm Ukraine could see thousands of ppl having to sell their homes and become homeless. All our opposition govt seems to care about is Boris Johnson hosting a party at downing street during lockdown.

    Zelensky intention is to get nukes. Not on my watch, we cannot as a world community allow a nazi inspired regime to get nukes.
