    It looks like Ukraine will be left without ammunition this winter. I think there is no need to remind you of the consequences of this. Especially considering the ever-increasing onslaught of Russians in almost all directions

    I like you Zeleban, but god I hope you are wrong and Mike Johnson is right in this case.

    But look at the spread. What a pointless waste of ammo. Woop di doo, harassing fire that serves nothing more than background noise. This is a dumb as many Russian efforts.

    In all seriousness I really wish Ukrainians would not need to use these kinds of improvised fighting vehicles after this war has been going on for almost two years now.

    I just thought a BMW firing rockets was kind of interesting. Don't remember ever seeing anything like that before in real life. But I agree, this does not look terribly effective.

    Looks like the Russian propaganda campaign that equates all Ukrainians resisting Russia as Nazis is still working. I still hope that Ukrainians treat Russian POWs as per the Geneva Conventions, but personally I would not mind if the perpetrates of this act just be eliminated on the battlefield by the AFU with all the laws of war satisfied.      

    As a cinema buff I even suspect I know where the Russian torturers got this idea from, but I really don't feel like making any pop culture references after seeing something like this.

    Very, very criticized text in domestic sphere for lack of fact-checking, dramatic and false analogies and subjective conclusions; he is not a proper analysts with methodology but military commenator for several popular newspapers. Adittionally, suffers greatly from relative lack of Air battles in this war. At least Tom Cooper knew when to turn into ground warfare analysts.;)

    Not worth to bother, Fiszer long time ago flew away, like several other public commentators here; some of them with generals' epoulettes.

    General Waldemar Skrzypczak? 🙂

    I seem to recall you did not agree with his views on Belarus when I posted those here.

    But yes good to have a local perspective here from someone who knows characters from your country better than us foreigners.

    I'm curious what President Zelenskyy means by this comment. Does he mean the Ukrainian Navy will get more ships in the near future? I am aware that the Royal Navy has trained Ukrainian sailors on operating British made minesweepers.

    Royal Navy training Ukraine sailors as part of UK's support to country (Royal Navy.Mod.UK)

    It does take a while to train a crew of a ship properly.

    Anyhow here is a clip from the meeting where the statements were was made.

    Definitely a good outcome for Ukraine, for a country with no navy, to carve out a corridor for 3rd party shipping against what majority opinion considers a powerful country one tier below superpower (public opinion) is a major achievement.

     

    Since we are having a kind of retrospective of the year, I think it should be remembered and not forgotten that at sea Ukraine did pretty damn well this year. Especially for a country that like you already pointed out does not really have a navy in the traditional sense of what we think of as a navy. It was very interesting to watch this year.

    Speaking of which, here is a new video of a Ukrainian drone hitting Putin's prized bridge this summer.

    Regarding this whole trucker blockade I'm disappointment by it, but I'm an outsider looking in. Would anyone from Europe be able to verify what Jürgen Nauditt says? (I have only found his Twitter account today)

    russian special services are involved in blocking Ukraine's border with Poland and Slovakia This was the conclusion reached by the investigators of the Guildhall information agency, after analyzing the party affiliation, the sphere of activity and the circle of communication of the persons who are the direct organizers of the road "protests" on our western border. Rafal Mekler is the official organizer of blocking the Ukrainian border with Poland. He is the owner of the transport company Rafał Mekler Transport and the head of the branch of the pro-Russian party "Confederation of Freedom and Independence" in the Lublin Voivodeship. "Confederation" is known for its pro-Russian positions and views. Its leader, Janusz Korvyn-Mikke, called on the Polish government to recognize the occupation of Crimea, traveled to the annexed peninsula himself and even met there with the local Gauleiter of the Russian Federation Aksyonov. In Slovakia, neighboring Poland, the organizers of the action to block the border are activists of the public organization "Union of Motor Carriers of Slovakia" (UNAS). The blocking was supported by the anti-European right-wing radical party "Our Slovakia". This political force is known for its friendly contacts with the Russian Federation and officially advocates the "restoration of friendly ties" with the aggressor country.

    Cool, nice to see the crew of this Bradley in good spirits.

    I hope more of these bad boys can be sent over to the AFU. Ukrainians really seem to like them.

     

    Aussie Bushmaster also in the snow.

     

    And a D-20.

    Edit: Looks like the SBU eliminated another collaborator.

    Hey politics day. Well for my two cents.

    According to the oh so helpful political campus and my lifelong voting record I'm a conservative. No way around it the truth is more than enough people with right wing views seem to have accepted the idea that Putin is not so bad, or Ukraine is not our problem. I think a lot of them think this way because they believe that our society is deteriorating, and Russia represents true traditional Christian values or whatever. Thing is Russia is basically just a mafia state. Some just don't like how much this war costs.

    Well, that being said some folks on the left read "tankies" also give Russia a pass, because they still like Russia as it is a successor to the Soviet Union and they still think the Soviet Union is a force for good...Lets ask some of our friends from central and eastern Europe about that.

    Anyway, I think the North American conservative movement needs more guys like Mitt Romney and Steven Harper as far as their understanding of the threat that Putin presents. As far as Russia goes, I think both of those guys would feel right at home on this forum.

    What I always loved about this place is we have liberals and conservatives uniting to oppose an unjust war of aggression by a nation ruled by a man that we know is not our friend. 

    Alright now that I said that I will go back to posting cool videos from Twitter. 🙂
