All the Soviet era tanks and lavs Zelenskyy could muster have already been destroyed so now he's asking for American Abrams and German Leopard 2s.  US Arm tank school takes 22 weeks and you have to be reasonably intelligent.  You can't put normal soldiers in a tank crew and the fascists don't have 22 weeks left, imo.

Nato countries already gave them old MIG's, probably some SU's also, because of training time on non-Soviet equipment Zelensky wanted. I think he asked for F16's? My husband says he still does not understand why Russia has not used more cruise missiles. Ones fired from Caspian into Syria were effective.

Personally, I wonder where they have been getting reactor fuel. They nearly had meltdown at Zaporizhya, perhaps 6 or 7 years ago, I think it was, when US gave them fuel rods that didn't fit, and was almost bigger disaster than Chernobyl.

There is a fine line where Russia can attack. If they do an all out assault. Heavy equipment etc. NATO countries might get involved. If they go to lightly, they will be feeding soldiers and equipment into a meat grinder.  Anyone with any brain cells can quickly figure out that Russia can easily roll over the entire country.

Another thing that might be holding them back is the sanctions. However, honestly, I don't know how that would effect them in a real sense. A complete shut down of all funding from outside of Russia (and potential supplies raw or otherwise) could really hurt them in the long run. The harder they hit, likely the harder they will be  hit with sanctions. (however, effective that would be considering China is a "friend" and doesn't likely give a shit about sanctions provided they can do their support/sales on the down low so they don't get hit.)

My husband has said that US is no longer prepared for a ground war in Europe. Both Russia and Ukraine live by WWII tactics, and even Ukraine Nazis care little about civilian deaths... they are merely something for Kiev to cry over to try to get more weapons. US/ Nato, and "rules of engagement" are far too restrictive, and although possible US Pravda might cover up US/ Nato caused civilian deaths, it can't be guaranteed.

Retreating inside of a city full of civilians for building cover is classic WWII war in Europe tactics. In modern times, when doing so in your own country, it is called using civilians as "human shields", and as Russia then continued bombarment, an opportunity to cry "war crimes" and whine for Nato. 

Kiev has already tried to draw in Nato when they fired missiles into Belarus, hoping they would enter the war, forcing Nato to respond... and failed. Of course, when Belarus showed photos of the damage, Kiev claimed they didn't do it! Obviously, Belarus fired missiles into their own facilities just to make Kiev look bad. 😒

Both China and Iran are supplying Russia with weapons and other things. Also, no one really knows much about current arms production in Russia... at least not reported. Not sure how badly Russia is really hurting economically. War always puts a strain on cash reserves. Also not sure of progress on pipelines to China. I think it was 2014 or 15 that Putin tried to negotiate a southern bypass of Ukraine thru Black Sea. At one point, Turkey was involved, but the deal fell apart, so he negotiated more pipelines to China instead. I remember one or more run thru Mongolia. Nato tried to get them to block transit, but Mongolia said poo-poo to you, we need the transit fees!

Ultimately, the continued possibility of China as a second front in Asia will most likely keep Nato posturing like an impotent peacock.

Russians had a good day today.  Shot down one the few mig29's the fascists have left, destroyed 12 tanks, killed 90 Ukrainians, 70 NATO mercenaries and leveled their bases.

And this is heart-warming.

I never trusted the government before nor after. Why the hell would I trust them and take their advice to get vaccinated? This is just sad.

Denial is powerful defence mechanism when facing an unpleasant reality, I've seen tweets from people who have lost relatives to the "vaccine" insist that it wasn't that, they just happened to develop a heart condition within days of taking the thing.

I guess their progressive parents will live and learn, right? Wouldn't hold my breath. I wouldn't doubt these two will eventually opt out of life.

Right now, in US, dims say that 18 is too young to buy a gun, because the brain is not fully matured... Yet these same people say that a 12 yo is mature enough to change his or her sex!?!

in the case of the 12 year old.. I believe, not 100% with all the crazyness that is going on, that an ADULT has to sign off on this. Also, I believe in the US there has to be some "specialist" involvement to get the medication and such to start the process. Also I don't' believe they do the sex reassignment surgery until they are at least 18

I mention this as there are other countries in Asia and South America (perhaps even Mexico not sure) that you can get the needed pills over the counter with at most a few questions. Children get access to this without the need of any Adult provided they can obtain the funding. There is also a lot of info out there for them to know what to do.

The "desire" is to start the process before they hit puberty, which will help curb or even prevent some of the traits that would normally occur.

I mentioned "specialist" earlier as those are "professionals" that are suppose to help determine if it is needed.  however, most times they don't do that and pretty much everyone that is referred to one of them are assisted in their transformation. I don't know if they still do this but in the past the professionals would try to get to the root of the problem and make sure it wasn't due to some childhood trauma. (being abused etc)  Work through that before staring the process. Now they just have to say they want to it seems.

Another crazy thing about the US. You can't drink until you are 21 but can buy a gun at 18. You can join the military and kill people at 18. Some states you can marry young https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Child_marriage_in_the_United_States but, their mind isn't matured....

Just crazy.

Current push from Biden admin, and leftist school system, is to remove parental rights regarding this issue, or charge parents under federal statutes for "hate crimes" against transgenders. We know the DOJ has gone after parents on domestic terrorism charges for speaking against CRT already. They have tried to redefine the word "sex", to include gender preference, based on a 1964 SCOTUS decision about descrimination, which court writing states does NOT include Title 9, which is exactly what Biden (handlers) are claiming.

My husband is older, and from US. He was in military at 18 years. He... and I, believe that no one needs a weapon until they are 21. There are scientific studies that say the human brain is not fully developed until 21 to 25 years! So, no guns, no sex changing until that age!!! Exceptions being a "learner's permit", similar to driving for guns, with parents held fully responsible for locking the guns up, and the minor only allowed to practice while accompamied by a licensed adult... until old enough to take an aptitude test. The kind of common sense that politicians will never consider.

And changing genders, is equally important to wait, if not more so.  These people are just messed up!

It's hard to feel any sympathy when then EU helped orchestrate the 2014 Nazi coup that led to this mess.

As Opec + is cutting production, oil prices going up, and US production down, it will be a VERY cold winter west of Donbass.

More Obama. Victoria Nuland waas point in Kiev Maidan, who planned the coup with Svoboda Party (Ukraine National Socialist = Nazis). EU just went along as with everything US does.

When a foreign student who can't vote here knows more about our politics then the clueless derpy students who can have no clue.

Dims rely on an ignorant population. Ignorant and needy. Easier to influence and control. Foreigners coming to US legally, are usually better informed than liberal kids!

My husband has been confused by Russian strategy. He was in Desert Storm, and believed that Russia would have done similar. Missiles to destroy power grid, command centers, military bases and weapons caches, followed by fighters and heavy bombers leveling anything remaining.

Now, Russian natural gas is the greatest weapon they have, as winter comes. In 2008, Nazis had control of Ukraine. Internal corruption, not paying bills, led to them syphoning gas from transit lines meant for Europe. They got caught, and Russia cut flow to a trickle. It was VERY cold that winter, even in Donbass. Since then, Russia built a pipeline with diverter direct to Donbass, so they can shut off Ukraine and Europe, without hurting Donbass region.

What happened in 2008, is also reason for Nordstream pipelines, to bypass Kiev transits.

Prediction: I think Poland is going to carve off a chunk of west Ukrainian territory after the Russians get done in the east.  I also think Belarus and Russia suspect this.  The Rus doesn't need 30,000 ground troops on the Belarus/Ukraine border (with more reinforcements coming) just to strategically threaten Kiev.  Poles are also rumbling about 'hegemony' and 'Polish identity'...whatever-the-fuck that is, and they're grumbling about how an influx of Ukrainian refugees will change Polish politics and society.  Aaand western Ukraine was a subjugated  territory of the Kingdom of Poland and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania until the 1700's.  Maybe they want it back?  The region east of the Dnipro wasn't part of that kingdom; it was Imperial Russia populated (to this day) by Russians.  Odd that Putin isn't interested in territory west of the Dnipro.  Lots of funny coincidences, huh?

EDIT: Now Poland wants reimbursement to the tune of €1 Billion for the materiel and other aid sent to Ukraine,  The EU told them 'NO'.
