Russia-Ukraine War - News and Developments

[Oldman1]

The Ukrainians need M270 MLRS with 70km M-31 guided rocket artillery and ATACMS missiles. These would devastate Russian forces. 50-75 M270s

Sure it be great for the Ukrainians to have, but I think its better they be giving Russian designs.

Not really, they have to fly low to hit their targets which means more vulnerable to anti air. Also if they missed their targets especially Ukrainian forces, then better for the Ukrainians.

But these fellows may start carpet bombing and hit civilians more than they already do

They need heavier weapons to push Russia out of Ukraine. The time is now to pour it on.

They could, but how do you think it would look to the world? And what do you think the Ukrainians will feel?

I agree, the Ukrainians should be given Smerch, Grads, etc. Don't know if any of the other countries have Iskanders or other ballistic missiles of some type that the Ukrainians use.

I don't think Putin cares about the aesthetics in this war. Like any despot, the most important thing for him is to keep his throne. For that, he will do anything that he can to show a win at home. He will only not do things that can adversely affect his chances for a military victory at this point.

Putin doesn't even know how to prosecute a war properly now. You look at the insurgencies in Iraq and Afghanistan and you think the Russians can do better? He's known for deception, propaganda and quick strikes not a full scale war. In other words, he has become delusional to the point of not caring how the Ukrainians are being bombed, then he is in for a surprise.

Russians needed if they want to win. Shooting ballistic missiles doesn't get you what you want if you have no control. They have already hit Russian soil in the early days of the war. Since Russia is invading Ukraine, Ukraine is not much concerned how daring it is.


There is no rear areas, they are getting attacked from all sides.

Those militia can't deal with military vehicles.

John Mearsheimer on why the West is principally responsible for the #Ukrainian crisis

John Mearsheimer on why the West is principally responsible for the Ukrainian crisis
The political scientist believes the reckless expansion of NATO provoked Russia
It is so clear to me.

John Mearsheimer spelt it out so well.

I cannot understand the fervor of some here that championed the Nazis in Ukraine and the USA and NATO hell bent
on trying to destroy the peace of the world for their own misguided self interest.
