Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Ukraine’s “Counter-Offensive” Major Belly Flop

TFF! Who TF are you to tell anyone to get mental help? You use multiple sock puppets to support your b u l l s h i t, thinking that people will believe it.

Czech Parliament ratifies agreement with the USA to allow American troops into the country and remain on Czech soil in an effort to further strengthen ties between the two NATO countries.

People especially brainwashed Cold War boomers, believe what they want to believe.

Nothing new in warfare to have officers criticize the command structure...George Marshall relieved or reassigned 100s of commanders during WWII.

George Patton was famous for his critical, sometimes caustic, opinions of his superiors, let alone his subordinates. He was especially called on the carpet by Ike for his condescending of important allied leaders and commanders like Montgomery. It was evident that this rivalry, between Army group commanders was a good thing as it compelled both to try to outdo each other. The famous slap incident was close to the last straw and almost ended him up back on a desk in Washington.

But Patton was wisely kept on the line because he was an effective combat commander, feared and respected by the Germans and despite his draconian methods, he got the job done.

Prigozhin is in the same mold. He will be useful to Putin in the future, he and Wagner are heroes of the Russian people and Putin probably figures he is more useful alive and well than not.

Besides, Prigo has become a thorn in the side and a great distraction, NATO has to keep an eye on his whereabouts and try to anticipate how and where Wagner will be deployed in the future, much like the German's concern for where Patton was and what he was up to.

Ya, whatever that means.

Houston 2; where has all our money gone for Ukraine?

I agree with that

Ya, whatever that means.

Houston 2; where has all our money gone for Ukraine?

Arms, military mobile equipment, medical, etc.

You might note what others in the alliance have sent also.

Houston 2; Why do you feel the need to give a minute by minute, play by play? Your version anyway........

As corrupt as Ukraine is, I would image that 80% of the cash funds sent over for relief have been stolen. From firsthand accounts by foreign fighters, many Ukrainians are operating with very little material support and many have had to source their own kits to fight. So our military gear is going somewhere other than the battlefield.

At the end of the day, the corruption should bother everyone including everyone in Congress, but it isn't. Taxpayers have lost billions in the process. BUT, I commend the Ukranians for destroying Putin's military. They have achieved what NATO has only dreamed about.

Was it worth the investment and wasted tax dollars? In a way, yes. No American military casualties (that we know about) has happened and Putin's military is only a shadow of what it once was. It will take a decade for the Russian military to recover. So that's all good in my books.

Where the real corruption will happen is on the rebuilding of Ukraine. Hopefully we will have a new Administration that will tell Europe it's their problem to deal with and not ours. This is Russia's and Europe's mess to sort out. In the meantime, carpet bomb the Russians back to Moscow.
