Russia invades Ukraine

Today's quote on my calendar page:
The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, and wiser people so full of doubts. - Bertrand Russell

So fitting for what's happening in the world.
 
It looks like Israel has the evidence that ruzzia is involved into hamas attacks.
 
There is rumours/news that yesterday ruzzians again tried to storm Avdiivka and failed badly. Hundreds of killed and very big loses in tanks and armed vehicles.
*
Also, if I am not mistaken, US have send ~20 ATACMS in first batch to Ukraine. After it was proven that those rockets are very effective, such shipments will be made on regular basis.
*
I saw a thought somewhere on Twitter, that those who eat expired military MRE (ruzzians), will be killed with old/expired rockets*. Oh, the irony.

* ATACMS rockets that were sent to Ukraine, were produced in 1996-1997 etc.
 
ISW will likely post about Avdiivka in their daily update around noon EST - curious to see if they capture this. They've strongly documented previous Russian vehicle losses and manpower losses. Avdiivka seems like an old school Russian campaign, just release human waves onto strongly prepared positions. Nothing seems to have changed.
 
This is so true and strikingly similar.
 
Yes, hamas is a mole on the russia's elephant back, but it's undeniable that hamas (and Iran) wants and seeks to maintain how things were prior october 7th. They want to have secure place, oppress their own people, to receive millions of money injections and from time to time to attack Israel. But Israel can't fight back! That would be ideal for them. So in this aspect they are pretty similar.

In the case of Palestine we are talking a nearly genocide before our eyes, it's not about Hamas wanting ceasefire the entire world wants to ceasefire. Your comparison is disrespectful and not even related.
 
After tonight's events we can surely say that Ukraine is winning on Black Sea front. russia's domination over there is greatly diminished. If only Ukrainians would have enough ATACMS...

 
I hope it's not friendly fire. I hope Ukrainians did this and russia's air forces over Azov and Black Sea will act like Black sea's fleet. Will go to hell.
 
A decent amount of expensive equipment blown up in the past week, an anti-artillery radar was destroyed (by artillery) and an AI powered anti-drone equipment (by a drone) ... about $700M wiped out in the last week just with those 3

Yet they still creep up like cockroaches... Really, it's mind blowing that a cheap drone is capable to wipe out advanced and expensive military machinery.

If this publication is true... it means Germany has some classified info on ruzzia's plans.... NATO, it's about time to WAKE UP for real.
 
For sure, the world in general (and Europe in particular) owe Ukraine big time. We should all be pouring in whatever equipment/money they need to defeat Russia.

"at a time when the U.S. could be without a leader within weeks of the election"...what? That doesn't make any sense. Even if Biden croaks, Harris would be installed. The U.S. wouldn't be without a leader at any point.

Yes . that makes no sense at all ... there are all kinds of continuity plans ... not that anyone would be thrilled with Harris .. that is the plan

I think Harris would be a perfectly fine placeholder president. Almost certainly better than Jerry "CTE" Ford.
 
Given that Trump almost certainly will be the nominee, and has already served a term as president, anybody the Democrats could put forward at this point is more than sufficient in the role of president. The argument that person Y on the left side is not suited to be president just falls flat on its face, like a frat boy after 4 bottles of Jack.
