Russia's unjustifiable war of aggression in Ukraine

[an liathroid beag]

Trump should give the Tomahawks to the Ukraine and tell them to hold them in reserve ( The Ukrainians are now producing their own Cruises -Neptune and Flamingo which is superior to the Tomahawk in some aspects) He should then play the Tomahawk card with Putin--Ceasefire or
Tomahawks! It is the only language that Putin understands! The Ukrainians have taken out 38% of Russias refining capacity. With the Tomahawks and their own missiles they could take out 100% . The Russian air defense appears shit. I have seen clips from Russian bloggers of UkrainIan
drones over refiniries 800 Km from Ukraine. . A slow flying drone can travel 800 km over Russia and they cannot shoot it down! They are now reduced to putting net cages over their refiniries--that will stop the Tomahawks!

yes, the first one was used maybe dozen times and mostly as per its original purpose water-water. The other one is like dodo bird rather than flamingo, a lot of propaganda but absolutely zero confirmation in action (from UA, ru and NATO).

Just to add on "slow flying drones". Those are cheap, slow, fly low = hard to shoot down with classic A-A Tomahawk is cruise missile, S400 likes it. Other thing is that... never tested tomahawk Vs S400 and orcs can panic that their another wunderwaffe weapon which they pushed to third world countries will surface as a humbug (again).

to illustrate the issue, here is the link to the video on which ru A-A system is trying to shot down slow, low and cheap drone but hits residential building instead.

to those who missed it. German prosecutor without strong evidence issues European warrant against some Ukrainians allegedly involved in the NS2 resolution. Currently one of them is arrested in PL as per the regulations, but the evidence looks weak and fabricated and there is zero will to send him to Germoney who is trying to find a scape goat on their case oddly following russian propaganda on the topic:

Feodosia today (Crimea):

an interesting read from the Atlantic:



Two Russian soldiers emerged from the woods and walked slowly down a dirt road, seemingly unaware that they were being monitored from the sky. By the time they raised their rifles to fire at a buzzing Ukrainian drone, it was too late: The drone had dropped a bomb that exploded with a bright-orange flash on the ground between them. But as the smoke drifted clear, the soldiers got up and staggered into the trees. The first strike had failed.

I watched all of this on a screen from a Ukrainian command post about 10 miles back from the front line.

“We know the two wounded Russians are in those trees,” said the Ukrainian commander alongside me, a powerfully built man of 39 who goes by the call sign YG. He didn’t look happy. The Russians probe the front line every day in small groups, and his job is to stop them while doing all he can to protect his own, far more limited supply of soldiers. But drones were not his only weapons against these two.

Ukraine is fighting a war of attrition. Any hopes that might have been raised by President Trump’s red-carpet diplomacy with Vladimir Putin have expired, and it is impossible to spend more than a few minutes near the front line without being confronted by Ukraine’s greatest vulnerability: lack of soldiers. Yet I came away from a recent trip to Ukraine believing that the country may actually be able to achieve its military goals.

Despite Russia’s demographic advantage, its efforts to envelop Ukraine’s formidable fortress belt—a string of strategic cities and logistics hubs in the country’s northeast—have had little success. Capturing the belt would take several years of hard fighting, given Ukraine’s recent success in damaging Russia’s oil pipelines and rear bases. Putin tacitly acknowledged Russia’s failure by demanding that Ukraine voluntarily cede the entire region in August, an idea that no one took seriously.

All of the officers I met with, during a week in northeastern Ukraine, told me that the key to keeping the Russians at bay lies in finding better ways to compensate for Ukraine’s desperate shortage of manpower. Part of the answer is drone technology, which has done a great deal to help Ukraine protect itself in an uneven fight. But commanders are now taking a range of other measures to minimize casualties, including more careful use of artillery, more precise troop movements, and better rotation plans. “Our main purpose is to not let direct contact happen, so Ukrainian troops don’t have to engage,” one local commander told me.

How Ukraine Turned the Tables on Russia

Russia assumed time was on its side, but a new Ukrainian strategy is yielding surprising results.

"Extraditing a Ukrainian to Germany in the Nord Stream 2 bombing case is not in Poland's interests, — Tusk."


Sorry but are you telling us now that the Nord Stream 2 bombing, blamed on Russia at the time, was a false-flag operation actually carried out by a Ukrainian?

I seem to remember people on this thread saying that it had to be a Russian operation and they just wouldn't accept it could possibly be a Ukrainian and/or US one.
Or is it that said Ukrainian is really some deep-deep-deep undercover Russian

I am sorry on spamming on the topic and not about US politics or Irish fight for independence

This below is from the russian telegram military vlogger Romanov, who is considered somehow reputable. It is from russian channel for russians:

No, this is what Germans and russians are claiming.

No one else is claiming this. I know, a bit of context is needed to understand what you comment, let me help you:
- NS2 was down
- Only russian vessels were around the location at that time
- Germany started "investigation"
- They could not find any evidence pointing to anyone, but got some "hints" they decided to send those warrants after the people they got hints about (from who - we do not know)
- Majority of the people would not be remotely linked to it. The guy held now in extradition arrest has proofs he was not even there

NS2 was a sabotage of itself, planned by Germans and russians solution to get all Europe addicted to russian fuels on which Germany would profit.

Simple stuff really. The pipe was never in the Europe's interest. The pipe kaboom was in everyone's interest but russia and Germany.

I hope I helped.

Ukrainians did it? I do not care as long it was successfully destroyed and Germans who moan about it should STFU as their stupid politics with Merkel and SPD lead to all shitshow we have. Does anyone have any interest in chasing who did it? Just russians and Germany.

Wow, this has escalated quickly! If I'm reading you right here it was actually the Germans in cahoots with the Russians who blew up NS2, and the Germans have only tried to extradite a Ukrainian for it, in order to move the finger of suspicion away from themselves

John LeCarre eat your heart out.
