The thoughtful and balanced steps in reaction being a lot of angry whining on the social media space and a temper tantrum composed entirely of drones that didn't hit anything of military value.

At this rate the russian military will be defeated by breathing in mazut smog and getting lung cancer.

They really need to be more careful about not stubbing out their cheap roll ups on standing pools of petrol.

So is this just a 'show of 'strength' toward NATO for daring to host Zelensky (and to give their TV commentators enough material to
let them publicly fantasize about launching cruise missile attacks on Dutch soil to assassinate him)?

Or is the fleet actually on its way to the Mediterranean for some reason? Presumably to park in the Aegean and try to look as menacing as possible, due to the Straits being closed to them.

I am guessing if they went to the Med half of the ships would be on fire before passing Gibraltar.

quote:

U.S. President Joe Biden has said that the United States and the world is at an inflection point now, while the Ukrainian people are “doing an incredible job,” the White House quoted him as saying on May 3.

“We’re at a place where the decisions we made in the last few years, the next three or four years are going to determine what this world is going to look like – not figuratively, literally – the next three, four, five decades,” Biden said at a dinner for combatant commanders.
Biden added that he also wants to take a moment to acknowledge the impressive leadership the U.S. military has shown in these last few months.

“You’ve armed, you’ve equipped, and you trained a proud and brave Ukrainian army and helped them preserve their liberty and their democracy,” he said.

The U.S. president also said that he “was a little bit surprised just how courageous, how amazingly brave not only the military is, but the Ukrainian people.”
“They’re just doing an incredible job,” Biden said.

I don't see an obvious pool from the satellite view. Might be indoor one? Can't say for sure since I've not actually been there.

Edit: I'm dumb. They're inside.

"Inside the main building are a swimming pool, aquadiskotheque arrangement, spa, saunas, Turkish baths, meat and fish, vegetable and dessert shops, a warehouse, a reading room, a music lounge, a hookah bar, a theater and a cinema, a wine cellar, a casino, and about a dozen guest bedrooms. "

Kind of expected for a proxy war.

According to an assessment collated by the U.S. Defence Intelligence Agency, Russia has suffered 189,500-223,000 total casualties, including 35,500-43,000 killed in action and 154,000-180,000 wounded.

Ukraine has suffered 124,500-131,000 total casualties, including 15,500-17,500 killed in action and 109,000-113,500 wounded in action.

Neither side gives timely data on military losses.

quote:

The UK is among a number of countries with military special forces operating inside Ukraine, according to one of dozens of documents leaked online.

It confirms what has been the subject of quiet speculation for over a year.

The leaked files, some marked "top secret", paint a detailed picture of the war in Ukraine, including sensitive details of Ukraine's preparations for a spring counter-offensive.

The US government says it is investigating the source of the leak.

According to the document, dated 23 March, the UK has the largest contingent of special forces in Ukraine (50), followed by fellow Nato states Latvia (17), France (15), the US (14) and the Netherlands (1).

That document mentioned 14 U.S. special operations forces in Ukraine in late February in a round-up description of other NATO countries that had special operations forces inside Ukraine.

Dated to Feb. 28, the apparently leaked document seems to list a total of 97 special operations forces from five NATO countries operating in Ukraine with the highest number coming from the United Kingdom and numbers comparable to the U.S. team from other countries.

The document does not say where the forces are located or what they are doing.

There like 4000+ US special forces alone in Ukraine. Not a secret

NATO at all costs.
