Not for the analysis. I don't recall seeing anyone else call what Ukraine is doing an old fashioned Bite and Hold operation. But it was pretty obvious to me that that was what was happening; a steady stream of small wins moving steadily in the right direction.

There was an article I saw here(?) I think that talked about how they took the 60 or so best guys from a battalion of 300 and did far far better work with the 60 than they did with the 400.


I didn't see them being called Stormtroopers though- maybe they should be referred to as Karskins or Astartes or something. I always preferred Stormies myself.

I heard about this for the first time this morning. This thread is days ahead of the media curve it seems. This is the article I just read, I went to this thread to see what was being said here. So you can compare and contrast.

https://svenska.yle.fi/a/7-10042085

So based on what local media has been saying, this has been a serious misstep on Ukraines part and things might get worse between Ukraine and Poland yet if they don't start attempting to repair relations.

This seems similar to what happened after the NATO summit a well. Is behaviour for domestic consumption in Ukraine? Because I can't help but feel that he needs to step away from the international diplomacy, his recent actions haven't done Ukraine any favours.

A mobik walked up to a fallen FPV kamikaze drone that was still armed and started poking it with a stick. This led to predictable results and spawned the original meme.

Is it bloodlust if I say I can't wait for the casualty list? Hoping Ukraine got some admirals, especially since IIRC Russian military doctrine relies on top-down command, and if enough high-level staff get got it could paralyze the Black Sea fleet.

edit: and even moreso they are supposed to love the military industrial complex. It boggles the mind.

The MAGA GOP have some the same white Christian supremacy values as Russia, so of course they back them. GOP hadn't been Anti-Russia since McCain at least.

It was made in 2007 so, yes.

Do they have one that has whatever the russians should have been keeping for themselves and not in the export models? Also, almost assuredly, yes.

yeah, you're probably right I'm reading too much into it, I guess I had my hackles raised a bit too high after their previous groundbreaking satire about how US is the true puppetmaster of Ukraine and this is all a NATO war after all:

Opinion is divided over whether to admit Ukraine to the intergovernmental military alliance NATO, with U.S. president Joe Biden leading those opposing Ukraine’s admission, to the reported frustration of Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky. The Onion looks at the pros and cons of Ukraine joining NATO.
PRO

Economic boost from $15 admission fee
Sends clear message that world won’t tolerate Russian expansion beyond most of Asia and Europe
Raytheon has no objections
Albania is already a member, so how is that fair?
Can stop pretending like we’re not currently at war with Russia

CON

NATO group chat already too large and unwieldy as it is

https://www.theonion.com/biden-warns-zelensky-if-he-can-t-win-war-u-s-will-ove-1850792677

quote:

WASHINGTON—Telling his counterpart that he was losing patience with the stalled counteroffensive, President Joe Biden reportedly warned Volodymyr Zelensky Thursday that if the Ukrainian president couldn’t win the war against Russia, the United States would overthrow him and replace him with someone who would. “Our patience is running pretty thin, bud, and if you can’t hack it against Putin, America won’t hesitate to orchestrate a coup against you and install somebody who can get the job done,” Biden said in a phone call to Zelensky, adding that the U.S. State Department already had two other guys lined up to assume the presidency in Ukraine. “Pick up the pace, man. We’ve given you how many tens of billions of dollars, and for what, retaking a couple bridges? When we started supporting you, we figured you’d get this wrapped up in six months or so, yet here we are a year and a half later and nothing doing. Sure, you’re a pretty boy on the battlefield, but there are a lot of pretty boys around here, you feel me? We can have Letterman over there interviewing some puppet in a hoodie at the drop of a hat. You think I’m bluffing? We helped put you there in 2019, so don’t think we won’t help take you out in October 2023. Look, man, it’s nothing personal. This is just the cost of running a hegemonic global superpower, and you knew that when you threw in with us. Get it together, or else.” Biden reportedly finished the call by telling the Ukrainian president that if he so much as whispered the words “peace negotiations,” the official U.S. replacement plan would have the Mariinskyi Palace surrounded by Zelensky’s own army in no time flat.
