When you know the Ukrainian (NATO, US)  weapons black market is HAF.

Ukraine- Kicking so much ass they repeatedly ask for  billions upon billions more in  weapons platforms (not just basic resupplies and ammo).

[Cire]

Lots of videos of Ukrainian soldiers being killed, and Ukrainian military equipment being wrecked (which is why they're asking for billions of dollars of more equipment).

#neocongE just keeps wanting more, tho.

Now the wives of military personnel missing are marching in the streets in Ukraine because their mega corrupt government keeps lying to them.. 

In some NATO countries, stockpiles of weapons are dangerously low, and the industrial economics and even the infrastructure is facing a massive uphill economic and logistics battle in order to re-fill the dwindling stockpiles.

Tell me that you are reading Russian news 24/7 without telling me...

Tell me you’re all in on the Ukrainian Digital Information ministry without telling me.

Only blank check billions more and Ukraine is going to win this war . . . #neocongE

What a positively childish Tweet aimed at low IQ Call of Duty "Soldiers" and armchair #neocons

People who actually study the prospects of a two front war with Russia and China note that the United States Navy has not fought in a naval war in 77 years.

Being very honest I am surprised they just haven't pulled back to that anyways

That’s basically a surrender position so id be surprised if anyone tried to push them out.  Have it and go back to sucking at everything you try.

If they don't 'eff with the dam, they'll be able to keep Crimea in operation with the canal and the Zaporizhzhia power station.  Losing Kherson would be a psychological blow to those in Russia aware of the nuances of the war, albeit offset by keeping Crimea in business. It would force Ukraine's hand to break the land bridge somewhere between Melitopol and Mariupol in order to move the needle in re-establishing pre 2014 borders.

dang, woogy knows his eastern european rough ridin' around and finding out pretty well

Woogy, if I'm understanding correctly, the guys on this pod seem to think that blowing the dam effs up the canal that is needed to supply fresh water to Crimea (although Michael admits that he is not an engineering / hydrology expert)

This was a good War On The Rock ep. Michael and Ryan travelled to Ukr and share some of their insights. Sounds like they will have more content behind a paywall regarding their trip.

Which is why ultimately I'm surprised they (Russia) hasn't done that. Kherson is going to be an ulcer they can't sustain and cutting their losses while being able to keep the largest nuclear power plant in the world and water seems like a Russia win-win.

And if I'm Ukraine, I'd be trying to break through between the lake and Mariupol, and split off the Crimea that way

If I'm Ukraine, I'm moving like 3 cannons into Ural.

If Iran attacks the Saudi's, as the Saudi's have alleged that Iran is planning on doing, then we might really get this WW3 thing going.  Not good!

The Russians are bad at Risk....

That seems to be the consensus, yes.  The canal must be fed from the higher elevation of the reservoir pool rather than downstream below the dam.  Ukraine had cut flow to the canal after 2014, so Russia did have some capacity to supply Crimea.
