For Those Who Might Be Wondering Why We Might Be In Ukraine

[ishtat]

On the night of January 24, and again on the night of January 26, Ukraine implemented further sanctions against the Transneft oil refinery in Ryazan, which produces fuel for military equipment, aviation kerosene, diesel fuel and other types of oil products used in tanks, aircraft, ships and other equipment of the Russians. The Ryazan oil refinery once produced 17m tons a year (5% of Russia's capacity) and is one of the largest in Russia. It's been burning for a couple of days now. According to the Mash Telegram channel, the Ryazan oil refinery was hit in a combined drone strike, resulting in a large-scale fire at the facility.

Local residents reported hearing about ten explosions around 1 a.m., including near the village of Dyad'kovo and the Pesochni area. Russian Telegram channels report that the fire at the oil refinery in Ryazan, Russia is very strong. According to locals, the refinery has been cordoned off and a large number of fire trucks are rushing towards it.

Videos shared online captured the sound of explosions and the flight of drones. The effects of the attacks were also felt in the city of Ryazan itself. No real air defence apparent, just some small arms fire. Seems Russian air defenses are disintegrating too. Pretty soon, Ukraine is going to be attacking whatever they want with no resistance the way this is going.

I think we're now at the point now where we will be disappointed if Ukraine **doesn't** hit some Russian petro-infrastructure overnight, every night.

This type of action is indicative of a transitioning. Even if some sort of settlement is forced on this region the Russians have engendered so much hatred that they can anticipate a more or less permanent insurrection for the next 30-50 years. Ukraine and the neighboring parts of Russia will be turned into a permanent hit and run battleground, much as Ireland was for so many years. If some sort of 'peace' is declared in the next few months or years, it will eventually dawn on the Russians that they have already lost. This will be a solid result for both the West and China, because Russia has been economically ruined, booted out of the Middle East, effectively emasculated in Eastern Europe, cut off from Africa and lost domination of Central/Eastern Asia to China.

Even Donald Trump couldn't mess this up.

Well, I don't think even Trump will be able to impose a ceasefire here without solid guarantees for Ukraine that Russia (Putin) will not agree too. He's still sticking to his original demands, which virtually guarantee that the Russian Army can rebuild and try again. Ukraine won't go for that one. At all. And there own military industry is scaling up fast. Russia won't HAVE an oil industry by the end of this year, and a lot of their military manufacturing will have been wiped out. Logistics too. Their rail system is takimg a pounding and its edging towards collapse.

The Russian Army is running down - I think by middle of this year they reach a point where they are all out of artillery. Their navy is, for all intents and pur[oses as far as the Black Sea is concerned, gone. Their air force is running down and Ukraine's is scaling up. We should soon see the first F16 and Mirage raids into Russia as Ukraine completes their virtual elimination of Russia air defences and start raiding and penetrating at will. And add drones and Ukrainian cruise missiles into that....

The only thing keeping Russia in the game is the ongoing infantry attacks, and Ukraine drones are getting better and better at taking Russian out one man at a time.

Now what Ukraine needs to do is organize their Units rather more coherently, get rid of the crap commanders and officers and organize their training way and the fuck better. THAT is a huge weakness right now. There are some good units and good commanders, but there are a lot that aren't and Syrski seems unable to do the needed reforms. They're sufferings needless losses and withdrawals thru poor command at senior levels, and inadequate training.

Russia has effectively lost this war already, and even if Trump cut all military aid (which he won't), the EU is slowly ramping up and Ukraine can hold on, regardless.

The only real path now for Trump is to let the EU and Ukraine BUY the weapons Ukraine needs, and THAT is a win-win. NO giving billions away, selling the stuff, and Trump can sell THAT based on outage at Russian intransigence. Even for MAGA diehards on this war, that's an easy sell. Simple business transaction. We sell them our old junk, saves us the cost of disposing of it, and the EU can look after the humanitarian aid.

Bet you a coffee that's how it's going to work out,

It continues to be apparent that President Biden had the perfect strategy for dealing with / defeating Putin / Russia: The results tell the story.

THANK YOU PRESIDENT BIDEN!!!

Russian Forces Officially Seize Last Strategic City In Southern Donbas Region​

As we warned at the end of December, Russian troops had been gaining ground on the eastern front at an exponential rate, with the key city of Velyka Novosilka nearly encircled and ready to fall. After weeks of incomplete reports on the situation, Ukrainian officials have finally confirmed that the area has been overrun. Some reports also indicate that Ukrainian soldiers were nearly surrounded during the retreat.

Kiev claims there's been no encirclement while Russian footage of clean-up operations on the ground indicates that some Ukrainian units may have been abandoned.

And what was his plan? To keep sending our tax dollars in massive amounts along with our tax bought weapons and ammunition…It’s a war Biden wanted to happen along with lots of politicians and war hungry industry psychopaths… he didn’t have a plan for this war and if so was failing miserably with it…

Low information/ education individuals should NOT criticize President Biden’s brilliant handling of the Ukraine situation.

President Biden handled the Gaza situation brilliantly as well.

The results tell the story.

• Ukraine is still standing; the Ukrainians are getting very impressive shots in on Russia’s military AND Russia’s infrastructure, and the allied coalitions are bigger & stronger than ever. (President Musk (and DonOld) could undo much of the progress that has been made.)

• Israel is still standing; Iran, Hamas, and Hezbollah, are weakened, and Assad is out of Syria. (President Musk (and DonOld) could undo much of the progress that has been made.)

THANKS PRESIDENT BIDEN!!!





Hope that ^ helps

lol you are a brainwashed moron at the very least… He handled Gaza brilliantly yeah ok dumb fuck Gaza has been totally destroyed… chaos that will linger for generations to come from it… Ukraine is still standing only because the money and weapons Biden has so eagerly gifted them repeatedly and if you really think Ukraine is going to defeat Russia then your dumber then I have first thought and that wasn’t much to start with…it’s good they are putting some pressure back into the conflict but Russia has the means and resources to end this or draw it out… always good to root for the underdogs but you take away what they have received in help and support by our crooked politicians and war mongers it would’ve been over with long time ago… this is a proxy war between big countries and Ukraine is paying the biggest price for it… lmao brilliant hahaha nothing of the sorts… to use a country and its people to be destroyed and slaughtered is sickening and psychotic, that’s what your so called brilliant Biden was doing…

Nuh-uh is NOT a “refuttal”.



The alternatives to the current conditions that President Biden brilliantly achieved / established in Ukraine AND the Middle East (and in coalitions / alliances) are unthinkable. (Unless, of course, you’re a Russian / Russian sympathizer or a terrorist / terrorist sympathizer.)



THANKS PRESIDENT BIDEN!!!

[Politruk]

always good to root for the underdogs but you take away what they have received in help and support by our crooked politicians and war mongers it would’ve been over with long time ago…

Russia would have won long ago. Not an acceptable outcome.

 

[Curious4more2020]

Accept what you want to believe or not but without the help from mostly U.S. taxpaying Americans that would be the case…If you want to do your part to try and make your outcome the reality then go on over and help the fight the Russians with your support of defeating them…show your real support besides talking shit about how good it’s going…

 

[Politruk]

It is less important that Ukraine should win this war than that Russia should lose it.

In Trump's first term, OTOH, his aides could kill an ill-advised initiative by swiping the relevant papers off the Resolute Desk; they could always count on him to forget about it. That's well-documented.

I agree they all are terrorist as are others… that’s obviously a true fact you came up with nice… But your still lost and this isn’t a game and if you noticed Biden lost hell Biden was made to move aside from yes Obama… Like I said you want to get your outcome and do your part well then head on over and lend a hand as they will give you the chance to show your support on the battle field, or keep supporting a dream outcome by hoping for a miracle… either way put up or shut the fuck up…

I never said Trump was good either but I give him a good step up from the previous disaster… all politicians are dirty and corrupt and will say what they need to say and change it when they need to it’s a real life drama of power plays money and war… they all suck…

Not one word of that makes any sense. What are you even trying to say?

 

[Curious4more2020]

Why would it to you, as you truly think Biden was fully in charge and I’m saying you want an outcome so badly and support this conflict and back the billions of dollars and weapons we tax payers have funded for it, then go on over enlist into the Ukraine army and show your support by doing what you believe in…is it’s easy to arm chair quarterback from afar…

 

[Curious4more2020]

Slava Ukraini!!!





Long live Israel!!!





THANK YOU PRESIDENT BIDEN!!!

Yeah I have no more left for you… you are a lost cause and by all means keep cheering his name if it makes you feel better but even the worst ones need a fan base… and I’m for Ukraine and Israel but also alot of innocent people are paying the price and have paid the ultimate price and cheering that is pretty sick as well… but you sick ones tend to not know any better also… enjoy your post Biden reign and cheer him until you wake up if that is even possible…
