    Supposedly Keith Kellogg was sidelined as Russians request. Guessing Trump also sidelined him but that could keep going back and forth depending on what side of the bed. Supposedly the GLSDB have been fixed and are due to arrive, or not. The US announced tightening sanctions on Russia's oil, gas, and banking sectors. With this administration's track record, is that for like one day?

    Multi verse is now blaming trump before he was even inaugurated. Ok

    This is the toughest negotiation ever, I give it a 10% chance.

    It’s calling everyones bluff though.

    You've got that backwards, Cono. Russian financial markets surged *after* Trump's inauguration: Russian economy up; American economy down. You've been looking through Putin's taint-ed glasses for too long. Maybe it's time to make the switch from promoting Putin's talking points to bragging about all the cancer research they stopped here in America. That's at least real.

    Credit where credit is due, per Merconium, Trump allowed the oil exemption issued under Biden, to expire on schedule. That's a good thing. Owning European leaders, Russia, and libs all at once, a true Trumpian coup de grâce

    The Ground Launched Small Diameter Bombs is a warranty replacement/refurbish. Not a new deal but it's something.

    Guessing Lockheed Martin and Northrup-Grumman are getting perturbed. Trumps made a huge mistake controlling equipment capabilities.

    It's important to point out once again the MAGA / Putin narrative that Russia is winning and has unlimited resources is contradicted by Russian mil bloggers who are actually closer to the fighting:

    “the Ukrainians are becoming bolder by the day, counterattacking and even pushing us out of several defended positions.” he argues before discussing “a severe shortage of troops for assault operations”

    https://t.me/voenkorKotenok/62436

    The Russian army is a shadow of its former self. Russia is using donkeys and horses for transportation. Russia is using wounded soldiers on crutches, forced marching them towards the front, to discover Ukrainian fire positions. The Russian army is rummaging the bottom of the barrel of society looking for troops among the physically and mentally disabled, fooling them into conscription:

    https://t.me/akashevarova/7822

    The reality is, Russia is only winning in Trump's and MAGAs' imagination

    Yeah, that dumb move by Trump is going to effect US defence stock prices for decades.

    When Ukraine attacked kursk, i and probably many others, wondered what the strategy was, besides a PR stunt to show its backers that Ukraine still can win.
    Well, it turned out to be a complete waste of resources, people and weapons.

    This is what happens when rulers get desperate for some good news.

    I was always skeptical of the Kursk operation, though it went far better and longer than I would have thought plausible.

    Was wasteful?

    Depends, I guess, on how one looks at this politically- it did nothing to destabilize Putin, but it may have complicated the cease-fire calculus enough to have pushed the lame-duck Biden Administration into some more aggressive decisions.

    Gen. Budanov argues that the operation was done to provide a morale victory for Ukraine, which it certainly was. But did it justify such a large and costly operation?

    I posted here before that Ukraine's situation is ideal for Fabian strategy, and where this has been applied, it's worked pretty fucking well.

    The Kursk operation never fit into that scheme.

    Russia suffered catastrophic losses retaking Kursk—nearly 55,000 casualties: over 22,000 killed, 32,000 wounded, another 1,000 captured, along with more than 2,000 pieces of Russian equipment including tanks, APCs, trucks, and aircraft. Not to mention all the concessions and humiliation over kowtowing to North Korea for troops and ammunition

    Kursk was a pr stunt, thousands of their best trained men and equipment lost.

    No military value.

    Let not forget the spring offensive. When you think you can flip the historical numbers attacking an entrenched enemy and find out bravery only takes you so far.

    Unless you guys have some more rusty equipment to send, or are ready to send nato troops , kicking the can down the road with cash won’t work much longer.

    And no,,we’re starting g ww3 for everyone to save face.

    I found this to sum things up perfectly.

    Security is going to be Impossible. They fought bravely backed by a promise, but from the beginning, we didn’t send enough, especially the euros talking a tough game now. And like it or not, there was an election.

    I don’t think anyone with half a brain is interested in what a Moscovian college dropout claims on his podcast, but no one is really surprised that these are the kind of people you get your opinions from.

    Since April 2018, Kisin has been co-presenter (with Francis Foster) of Triggernometry, a YouTube channel and podcast. The primary format of the channel is the prerecorded interview; the channel brands itself as holding "honest conversations with fascinating people",[12] and has been described as "anti-woke" by The Times and "hard-right" by openDemocracy

    Blah, blah, blah. I don’t even know the guys name, but I fucking listen to people.

    It’s true. Security will be a nightmare and forcing it does not bring about lasting peace.

    And yes, you used Ukraine. Biden sent them too little, too late, bacuse of the nuclear threat. Maybe some of you were correct about that. Only you blamed cono and not pressured your own admin.

    Also, he makes a good point about nato expansion, contrary to what I generally believe.

    NATO expansion is only a problem to aggressor nations seeking to violate sovereign borders. Anyone not prostrate to Putin can see that.

    The sad thing is Obama didn't do shit. At the time, Biden was lucid but cast aside, Obama should have listened to his vice president.Trump is a pussy and will end up dementia x2 with bad caregivers.
