Current Events > Ukraine War Topic Part X

(+) Yeah! (+)

I dont know if unexpected is the word Id use

In an unexpected move, the Pentagon is diverting a sizable cache of 155mm artillery shells, originally meant for Ukraine, to Israel.

Remember a few days ago how Russia sent hundreds of men to their deaths in an utterly bonkers meatwave attack against a 30 meter tall slag heap with near-vertical slopes that Ukrainians use as a fortress?

Well, just a bit northwest of that slag heap is a field about 1.50 square km in size. It's rather unremarkable... except for the fact that it's a literal killing field where several dozen Russian tanks and AFVs have met their end!

Adding another layer, Israel is rumored to be requesting $10 billion in emergency military aid from the U.S., signifying a heightened regional alertness.

I'm sure the "America First" Republicans demanding we leave Ukraine to fend for itself are outraged over the prospect of sending billions to Israel, right?

I think I saw Marjorie Taylor talk about not wanting to get involved in another European war over Ukraine and then immediately pivoted to helping Israel because another middle east war would be so much better.

so did the Russkies destroying deliberately destroying that dam end up helping the Ukrainian war effort in the long run?

at the very least, forced the offensive entirely towards the areas Russia has fortified the most.

Would we even know if he had died, and the Kremlin was hiding it?

70% of Russians want to end the Ukraine War. But only if they keep territories.

70% of Russians would support their President, Vladimir Putin, if he decided to end the war against Ukraine this week. However, only one in three would support such a move if an end to the war was accompanied by returning all occupied Ukrainian territories.

These figures are according to a survey conducted in Russia by the Levada Analytical Centre through personal interviews on Oct. 19-25.

The survey also found that if they could go back in time and cancel Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, only 41 percent of respondents would not start the war.

The majority of support for the start of a military special operation was in the 55 years and older age group of which 51 percent supported Putins February 2022 decision

Among younger age groups, especially those under 24, 56 percent were both in favor of cancelling the war or wouldnt have started it in the first place.

Moscow residents who supported the start of the special military operation was somewhat higher at 55 percent compared with those from outside of the capital.

Almost half of Russians believe that the war in Ukraine will continue for some time, with 23 percent believing that it will last from 6 months to a year but 46 percent thinking will last for more than 12 months.

The respondents were also asked what had caused Russia's war against Ukraine in their own words rather than in response to a pre-formatted option.

25 percent said it was necessary to launch the military special operation to liberate the Donbas and to protect Russians residing there. 14 percent repeated the refrain that it was to eradicate fascism and destroy Nazism with 13 percent saying it was in response to aggression by Ukraine and Western countries.

In February, the Levada think tank had asked Russians the same questions. Back then, they gave the goals of the special operation as: preventing an attack on Russia, and securing the borders - 30 percent, protecting Russian/Russian-speaking civilians, the Donbas - 27 percent and getting rid of nationalists, eradicating fascism - 12 percent.

In recent months opinions on whether to continue hostilities or start peace talks has changed little: 55 percent believe that negotiations should be started, compared with 51 percent in September and 38 percent supporting the continuation of hostilities (against 39 percent in September.

67 percent of respondents saw the return of the Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions to Ukraine as an unacceptable condition for negotiations with 71 percent feeling the same about the return of occupied Luhansk and Donetsk, and 76 percent opposing Ukraine's accession to NATO.

The 76% opposition to NATO is a strong reason to let them into NATO imo

lol a Russian survey

So I just heard that Ukraine destroyed a Russian corvette in Crimea before it had even been fully finished.
Russia continues to lose a naval war to a country with no navy.

it used to be that a navy set in port is useless but safe

i guess the "safe" part isn't true anymore

It hasnt really been true since, what, 1942?

Off the top of my head, the American navy docked in pearl harbor got wrecked in December 1941.
