Looks like every one of our allies is shaming us.  Thanks Japan and thanks Germany for doing the right thing.  

It was his choice to live in Spain. He took own former girl with him. Probably through her Russians could track him. But it can be also GUR special operation with fake death, after which this guy will dissappear like Kuzminov and will be completely other person with new face, passport and life story

Patton?
Love that guy.

Peace can only exist when there is honor, freedom and self respect. If they  are missing there ain't no peace.
If there ever was a reason to prepare for war, it's now.
 

Not if you want to keep your honor, freedom and self respect. 

Come on, he posted an interesting quote which happened to be said by George Patton and not celebration of George Patton. 
Is Patton now cancelled to the effect that all his quotes are thoughtcrime? I did not get the latest memo from the Ministry of Truth, apologies.

Need I remind all Putin has desires for the restoration of Imperial Russia and that Ukraine is essential to further ambitions? If Ukraine falls, the risk to NATO and EU only increases. And sure, full out war would result in a wipeout, but Russia specializes in hybrid warfare.

6. Kill them all. 🧐
Forgot the most important one. 

1. Support Ukraine to continue to fight, even if that means sending what little we have left ourselves.
2. Rearm like mad, damn the economical consequences, no matter how painful they will be.
3. Make it clear to our societies that this is only the beginning of a very dark time.
4. Prepare for large scale war, because that's what we're heading for one way or the other. +
5. Stop acting as if we have a choice in the matter.

But he ain't wrong, is he?
Playing with semantics  can be irritating, so you've asked for it.

The collaborator regime? Which was neither free nor honorable?
I am not even sure they had much self-respect.
Surely, you jest.

I with good ol' Aragorn on this.  Guessing Patton.
Good posts (my) overnight.  5 planes in a week.  That's some good news.  Andiivka lost, but it was a pile of rubble anyway.  And as was pointed out, cost a division.  Yes, can be replaced, but it's still a division off the chessboard.  W replacements there could've been two divisions.  but there's just one, again.  
Steve made good point that I've been thinking about lately.  Headlines in the media are a very bad way to judge things.  And those headlines will say things like "Andiivka falls, can weary UKR fight on?" or some such.  I am sure similar headlines we're there for Normandy, as Steve said.  Same for N Afrika - El Alamein retreat by the brits, without realizing Rommel had an already unsustainable supply line that had just gotten ~600km longer.  The underlying big picture of the war did not change w Andiivka, despite the pants-wetting we will see from the press and some folks.  UKR can fight on, and at some point something breaks enough for one side that they negotiate and end to active hostilities.  but we're not even close to breaking for UKR, sadly for certain Putin-funded US House members.

Nesmyan (RU civilian Girkin) comment
War is going according to the plan. Western sanctions do not work.

In your head yes. But this idea will leave your head as soon as RU soldier hits you in the head with buttstock on your way to the torture or execution chamber.

Great post. Really lifts my spirit. Thanks for that.

RU is not winning this part. You read BS about Great Patriotic War.
 
RU has no war economy. Western sanctions inflicted critical damage on RU economy ensuring slow death of RU state as we know it.
 
You do know that RU morale is so low that Putin is afraid to call mobilization, don't you? 
 
What drones are you talking about? RU Nat fighter from Avdiivka reported on February 9
 
Do you talk about Shaheds? Last time I checked, 40 out of 45 were taken down.
 
RU military production reached it's peak at the end of December. It cannot increase anymore due to lack of western heavy machinery.
 
UKR NATO 155mm arty needs less shells as it is more effective than RU arty
 
Last time Trump was president he b*tcslapped RU so hard that I laughed whole week reading RU Nat hysterics. 
 
Interesting question. Given that it took RU several months of relentless meat assaults to move front just couple km west and given that there are 560 km to Kiev, RU can be expected to threaten Kiev in 233 years. EU shells will arrive long before that. 
 
Nope, Agent Murz reports how RU learns lessons IRL
 
Except from infamous Tolkonuk letter to Stalin about how Red Army generals learned lessons of war by the winter 43-44 
Remove reference to Germans and it reads like description of Avdiivka battle.
 
I dont like RU propagand but there it is.
