The US is behind Ukraine's negotiations, intel, and weapons, so may as well include them in discussions as without the US, Ukraine would have lost the fight for their 'freedom' long time ago. Also, rules are meant to be broken, therefore, I respectfully decline your policing of my posts. Not happy? Press the Report button Just visualise if we were to discuss Vietnam v USA, surely you would be throwing USSR into discussions.
Putin tried in the past to control important people in every Western country. In Germany it was Gerhard Schröder. For millions of $$$ he helped Putin to control Germany. Schröder pushed Nordstream 1 and later Nordstream 2 on command of Putin, so that the Germans were neutralized because depending on Russian gas. Stupid Merkel even helped Putin for free. She was even too stupid to understand what was happening. Schröder deserves the death penalty. What most American never realized is that Trump was the puppet from Putin for the US. Trump had a lot of meetings whit Putin where the usual person who made a transcript of the conversation was not allowed to be present. Not a single American ever made any comment on that. Trump copied Putin's behavior and applied it in the US. He said the elections were manipulated, he spoke about fake news, he was stupid enough to be manipulated by Putin. Also Trump was vulnerable as only money and power are important for him. Trump organized the riot against Capitol Hill. Trump tried to destabilize the US. If the US voters are as stupid as when Trump was elected, and elect him again, it can have a serious bad impact on their life. and on the US.
Back before the current war was even brewing, I remarked once that Merkel's and Putin's shared love for the old days in East Germany made me a bit uncomfortable. Whereupon, Usual Tard accused me of being conspiratorial. Putin knew how to play her like the keys on a piano and turn on the "charm" speaking in German to her. Always plenty of flowers flying around, plenty. Putin knows the women love the flowers and he pours it on and they lap it up. Angela being the number one sucker. https://www.rbth.com/lifestyle/328353-perfect-gentleman-flowers-from-putin
I hope that, you Americans, don't make the same mistake and vote for Trump again. There are enough other Republicans to choose from. As long as Putin lives, the danger is not gone. https://nypost.com/2021/09/13/russi...t-undersea-cables-spotted-in-english-channel/ https://www.independent.co.uk/news/...lace-liz-truss-jens-stoltenberg-b1989124.html If Putin would do that we should just bomb his oil and gas infrastructure.
Amazing precision of HIMARS. These are HIMARS hits on a bridge in Russian-occupied territory yesterday. This is a demonstration. All those hits can be done in one spot and the bridge will be gone.
As discussed, those himars are light impact against bridges. Where it gets dicey though is when you put a freight train loaded to the gills with supplies across a bridge that has only received light to moderate damage. That might work for an automobile. For a freight train? Not so much. It is like walking on thin ice. You are probably okay, but mix a few prayers in with it. Maybe sacrifice a few chickens too. We will shall see. Each missile firing gives them more knowledge. Such is the nature of artillery fire. Launch/fire, learn, and adjust. Rinse and repeat.
