Hey, a billionaire did something right for once!

Supposedly, the Russian military is in such bad shape that if this thing drags on for more than a few weeks, they're fucked. They don't have the equipment, or personnel, to handle resupplying an extended military operation. Can't even make parts for a lot of things. If that's true, then I would expect to see a bunch of Russian soldiers deserting/surrendering as this goes on.

The West seems quite unified in their handling of this so far and here’s a lot of reporting that the USA is behind it and driving it

Makes me think of how much a disaster this would be if this happened while trump was in charge, yikes

Funny, if true.

You mean how the US would be sending aid to the beleaguered and tired Russian troops liberators?

Interesting if true...

And this one is confirmed, at least the part where Gen Tushayev has been killed in combat. He was in Ukraine for 1 day, and is part of a famed Chechen group known for it's savagery in battle.

This is just one of the stunning things he's posted today.

If you haven’t seen it yet this is a good movie that goes into a lot of that stuff.

Insert the clip from Patton where he says they’ve got to rescue “such an eloquent man!”

If you're in a coastal area, you'll probably want to check the thread. Maybe stop by and say, "Hi" or something. Have a cocktail.

Javelins?

Apparently. NLAWS tend to pop the tops of tanks.
