Two of Ukraine’s most celebrated and veteran brigades, the 47th and 67th Mechanized Brigades, both separately refused to fight this week and abandoned key strategic positions along the front lines. They were reportedly exhausted and upset about having had no real leave since being mobilized at the start of the war, and being forced unlawfully to soldier on past the ends of their contracts.

Ukraine only has about 100 brigades. It can’t afford to lose any, nevermind losing its two most experienced brigades. Even worse, the reason the 47th Mechanized threw in its battle towel was because when their relief brigade, the 115th, saw the scorched earth they were ordered into, they said ‘nope’ and stood down. That, apparently, was the last straw for the overworked warriors in the 47th.

So three Ukrainian brigades refused to fight this week at the worst possible times.

If this is true, then we will sone see Ukey units surrendering to the Russians.

Of course the whole point of both wars was to launder money to weapons makers.

Not sure what they were thinking. This is really bad optics. When I rarely talk politics with buddies, this image(s) are all a negative to Americans. We lean right where I'm at, but still, this just looks awful.

I still remember sitting up in that balcony as a kid. My dad was a crazy person. Glad I didn't see this shit. Pretty sure it was something about NASA.

Tangent aside, this is why I think Trump wins in a landslide. He's got unbelievable ammunition that hasn't even been used.

HOW IT ENDS ...

Remember all of the media hype when it was announced that the US was sending Ukraine Abrams Tanks? How has that one worked out?

Ukraine Sidelines Abrams Tanks After Russian Drone Attacks



The Ukrainian military has opted to withdraw its US-supplied M1 Abrams main battle tanks from the front lines due to the threat posed by Russian drones, American officials told the Associated Press. Kiev has reportedly lost several of the tanks since their long-delayed deployment in February.

The decision came as Moscow increasingly relies on UAVs for ‘round-the-clock surveillance and air strikes, making the Abrams “too difficult… to operate without detection or coming under attack,” the AP reported on Thursday. The tanks have been removed from the fight for an unspecified period as Kiev and Washington work to “reset tactics,” Joint Chiefs of Staff Vice Chairman Adm. Christopher Grady told the outlet.

“When you think about the way the fight has evolved, massed armor in an environment where unmanned aerial systems are ubiquitous can be at risk,” Grady added. “Now, there is a way to do it. We’ll work with our Ukrainian partners, and other partners on the ground, to help them think through how they might use that, in that kind of changed environment now, where everything is seen immediately.”

Traitor Joe Looks to Prevent Future Presidents From Ending the Ukraine War With a 10-Year Agreement

Soon on the heels of President Biden last week signing into law a $61 billion aid package for Ukraine’s defense, President Volodymyr Zelensky on Sunday indicated that he’s working with Washington on a bilateral security agreement which would last ten years.

“We are already working on a specific text,” Zelensky said in his nightly video address. “Our goal is to make this agreement the strongest of all.”

“We are discussing the specific foundations of our security and cooperation. We are also working on fixing specific levels of support for this year and the next 10 years.”

He indicated it will likely include agreements on long-term support centering on military hardware and joint arms production, as well as continuing reconstruction aid. “The agreement should be truly exemplary and reflect the strength of American leadership,” Zelensky added.

But ultimately a key purpose in locking such a long-term deal in would be to keep it immune from potential interference by a future Trump administration.

Volodymyr calls it the “10 for 10 war pact agreement.”


Fixed it for you Traiter Joe. The main reason why there is ongoing violence in Ukraine is the corruption of the Bidet crime family.

Trump's TreasSec can simply withhold the funds. Congress can only AUTHORIZE funds to be spent. But the executive branch has sole constitutional power to actually spend the money or not.

Interesting. UAVs will certainly make operating Tanks difficult. Though it be in the landscape best suited for Tanks, Steppe and rolling hills..

Only the UAVs that are big enough to carry ordinance such as a Hellfire missile.

Ukraine has taken out hundreds of tanks and APC's with cheap drones with basic charges or RPG warheads.

Doesn't take a Hellfire missile or large drone because the drone operators can easily target weak spots in the tank's armor.

Maybe, but I am skeptical. Why don't the Russians just run a jammer and thus disable the link between the drone and the operator?

One method is using a maser, which is a laser but at microwave frequency. It's more difficult to jam because you'd need to know the direction of the maser and its reception point, and there may be multiple ones.

Yep.

Drones and accurate/smart artillery are changing warfare.

It's total horse shit. It is psyops publicity stunt designed to prop up the idea that Ukraine has some kind of guaranteed future under Z and the Nazi cohorts, an ongoing vampire's fangs on our tax base . Something to push their bond rating from D minus minus minus to C minus. Unenforceable. It's one den of thieves promising another den of thieves something that they do not have the absolute power to deliver for bizarre optics. Any adverse administration will not be 'powerless' to reverse it. Any change in the composition of Congress could change it.

Some Congress critters might love the idea of a guaranteed laundering stream, however, for their campaign coffers, which is why the criminal enterprise of Ukraine exists to begin with, but it is another step beyond in corruption to be shot down.

Ukraine is still a thing?

It's going to go on like.... Syria - we're still at war there - how many of you are aware we're still at war there?

The same thing will happen with Ukraine. The war will continue forever, until you forget it, and it will be SILENTLY ended and if you supported this stupid fucking slaughter, you won't learn a lesson. You'll support the next stupid war. The propaganda box decrees it so, and you will obey.

Hmm, at the time I write this, the Toilet Paper of Record doesn't even mention it:

Guess there wasn't room on the fucking Internet. Several articles about Trump.

Let's face it. Ukraine is passé. Not only that, even the dumbest of Americans are catching on that Ukraine was a lost cause from Day 1. My feeling is that America needs something fresh and exciting. Something that will make you feel proud to fly the flag again. Something that will inspire Country & Western song writers to write those hillbilly patriotic songs that'll bring tears to your eyes and cause you to forget to spit out your chewing tobacco juice.

America desperately needs a new war. A BIG war. And I'm talking about a good old fashioned 'boots on the ground' kind of war. How about Iran? Now seriously. Don't you think a war with Iran would be fun?

That is something to consider, but wouldn't Iran be a lot more expensive, and therefore, much more beneficial to our war economy? Having said that, if nothing else is available, Canada would do. We could use it as a training exercise for say war with Iceland?
