So,...the crazies in D.C. sends weapons systems to Ukraine. Their location is given to the Russians. Russia blows them up and waits for the next batch to arrive. Patriots got destroyed, and so many HIMARS got blasted that the HIMARS can only set up at night. if the Patriots and HIMARS were destroyed, why don't the Russians show us? oh, wait a minute, Russia can't destroy them, Russia is still stuck in the 1940s. Russia can only do meat wave attacks. they will destroy a battalion for a few feet of ground. by the time the Russians are done, say 100 years, they will have a 1/4 of Ukrainian territory with no Russians left to fight. one trained Ukrainian = 10 Russians poorly trained conscripts. Russia has spent 1/4 of a billion dollars on a Yastreb-AV fire finder radar (it spent about 12 hours in Ukrainian territory) and it was blown up in daylight with HIMARS, which it was supposed to find!!!   https://www.forbes.com/sites/davida...ew-it-up-with-artillery/?sh=b2e33b9df359

More from WSJ:
"The Ukrainian Air Force confirmed that the Ukrainian Armed Forces do have a shortage of anti-aircraft guided missiles.
This was stated by Air Force spokesman Yuri Ignat, commenting on The New York Times article that the United States will soon not be able to supply Ukraine with Patriot missiles.
"It is clear that there is a shortage of anti-aircraft guided missiles, and no one is hiding it. That is why there are such concerns in the Western press. I think that our Western partners are well informed about the state of affairs with our air defense systems," Yuri Ignat said on the telethon.
He said that the Ukrainian Armed Forces spent a lot of missiles to repel the last three massive Russian attacks on December 29, January 2 and January 8."

"Ukraine’s War Effort Is Stuck. This Heroic Battlefield Failure Shows Why.
Rout of elite Ukraine forces in counteroffensive is a lesson in why the war effort is stalled
By the time Ukraine’s elite forces were deployed, last year’s fightback was already doomed to fail."
Wall Street Journal article explaining patiently why cuckraine has lost.
Paywall, but accurate.
"Just after dawn on Aug. 12, drones swept overhead as they approached the target along a line of trees between farm fields. Kharchenko’s men had been told Russian drones would be downed by Ukrainian jamming equipment and assumed they were their own. Then the drones began dropping explosives. The trees exploded with machine-gun fire. Grenades lobbed from automatic launchers burst around them.
The platoon was incapacitated. More than half of its 20 or so men were dead or wounded within minutes, including the medic.
“What shall we do with the injured? F—!” Senior Sgt. Maksym Serheyev, commander of the first platoon, yelled over the radio to his commander. “There are more of them than us.”
By the end of the day, only three of 22 men in the first platoon remained fully fit.
The Ukrainian government has not released official figures for the total number of soldiers who have been killed or wounded since Russia launched its full-scale invasion nearly two years ago.
However, anecdotal evidence of mounting Ukrainian casualties in the war was reinforced by claims made on Ukrainian television this weekend by the country's former prosecutor general.
Yuriy Lutsenko claimed that around 30,000 Ukrainian troops are now being killed or badly wounded per month and that the total casualty toll for wounded and killed in the war is around 500,000.

,...and even if you're not in the mood for combat, Zelensky can use you to go around closing down all the Christian Churches in Ukraine.
He's Kosher and doesn't like that Christian stuff, anyway. He thinks those Christians need to get out of the Churches and go up on the line. He's got a lot of Ukrainian Christians killed like that already.
The way he sees it,..if you're going to hell, anyway,...you might as well do it up right. So jump in with both feet.

i am too old and i had a bad stroke. cuckraine'll be happy ta see ya and you'll fit right in, but they won't give ya a gun: Ukraine is now conscripting people with Down’s Syndrome for the front lines as Zelensky runs out of able bodied recruits for the meat-grinding war with Russia. A shocking new video reveals a mentally disabled man on the front lines of the Ukrainian war being mocked by other soldiers. The clip, which was posted to X, shows the man sitting down in a trench holding what looks like a stick. Another soldier filming him states, “Take a look at who they just sent us!” before laughing and addressing the mentally disabled man. “Voha, what’s happening there boy?” asks the soldier. “I’m on duty,” responds the mentally disabled man, before being asked, “Where’s your gun?” And it's on reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/UkraineRus...ian_soldier_mocks_a_ukrainian/?rdt=35564

https://www.understandingwar.org/backgrounder/ukraine-conflict-updatesRiley Bailey, Angelica Evans, Nicole Wolkov, Grace Mappes, and Frederick W. Kagan January 11, 2024 The reported concentration of the Russian military’s entire combat-capable ground force in Ukraine and ongoing Russian force generation efforts appear to allow Russian forces to conduct routine operational level rotations in Ukraine. Russia’s ability to conduct operational level rotations will likely allow Russian forces to maintain the overall tempo of their localized offensive operations in eastern Ukraine in the near term, but it is unclear if Russian forces will be able to conduct effective rotations in the long term or in the event of intensified Russian offensive efforts or a significant Ukrainian counteroffensive operation. Ukrainian intelligence reported that Russian efforts to expand Russia’s defense industrial base (DIB) have yet to fulfill operational requirements in Ukraine and that munitions shortages will continue to prompt Russia to source supplies from abroad. Freezing temperatures in Ukraine are likely constraining operations along the front but will likely create more favorable terrain for mechanized maneuver warfare as the ground freezes in the coming weeks. Latvia and Estonia announced new military aid packages to Ukraine on January 11. Russia may be setting information conditions for future escalations against Latvia by threatening to punish Latvia for closing a likely base of Russian informational influence in Latvia. European Commission (EC) Defense Industry Spokesperson Johanna Bernsel clarified on January 11 that European Union (EU) member states will be able to produce a million shells per year by spring 2024 but that the delivery of the shells to Ukraine will depend on individual member states. The US Department of Defense (DoD) Office of the Inspector General published a report on January 11 that states that the failure to document certain aid provided to Ukraine in a timely manner is largely due to DoD limitations but that does not suggest that any of the material aid has been misappropriated. Ukrainian Verkhovna Rada Speaker Ruslan Stefanchuk announced on January 11 that the Verkhovna Rada withdrew a draft law on mobilization for revisions after discussions between Ukrainian legislators and political and military leadership. A Ukrainian official indicated that the Russian Black Sea Fleet (BSF) may struggle to compensate for the loss of base infrastructure after allocating naval assets away from the BSF’s main base of Sevastopol in occupied Crimea. Ukrainian and Russian forces continued positional engagements along the entire front. Kremlin newswire TASS reported on January 10 that Russian forces will deploy additional aircraft and vessels and increase the production of hypersonic Kinzhal and Zircon missiles in 2024. The Belarusian Ministry of Emergency Situations stated on January 10 that it sponsored a trip for 35 Ukrainian children from occupied Ukraine to Mogilev for the New Year holiday during which soldiers taught children “the basics of life safety” and how to behave in “extreme situations.”

NY Times propaganda inadvertently mixed with truth:
“Morale is all right,” said the deputy battalion commander, who uses the call sign Shira, standing nearby to see the men off. “But physically we are exhausted.”
...
The men of the 117th Brigade, who were deploying to the front line in the Zaporizhzhia region on a recent night, faced a four-mile hike through rain and mud, the intelligence commander said. If they were wounded and captured, Russian troops would execute them, he warned them.
The long, arduous slog to carry in ammunition and food to supply troops and to carry out the wounded was one reason Ukraine could not sustain its counteroffensive, a company commander, Adolf, 23, said.
Ambulances and supply vehicles came under fire from kamikaze drones so often that his unit stopped using them, resorting instead to a four-wheeled buggy that volunteer engineers rigged up to carry a stretcher.
...
The toll is heavy for all units along the front. Almost everyone has been wounded or survived a narrow escape in recent months, soldiers said.
“We are short of people,” said an intelligence commander of the 117th Brigade who uses the call sign Banderas, after the actor. “We have weapons but not enough men.”
A some point such units will break down, likely at the end of the currently harsh winter.
Dunno how the obvious Nazi references slipped by the editor.
