I'm talking about the combined arms operation like Russia is doing in Ukraine, not some insurgency. Like we had in first 22 days in Iraq and first 2 weeks in Afghanistan and never had in Lybia, Yemen or Somalia. If you don't understand the difference why are you even talking about military shit?
Go read some books, beef up your understanding on military matters and then we'll talk. Otherwise it's boring and meaningless - your girly incoherent screams get old very fast.

If everything is going so well we surely should stop funding this useless war and proceed to negotiations... oh wait...
Yeah, this is exactly what Russia is asking for - to stop providing weapons and proceed to negotiations:

But Ukrainians, for some weird reason, don't think Russia deserves a piece of their land. This is because of Hunter Biden for sure, no other reason.
But good thing you're finally off the shit like bioWEAPONSlabs,
"gay corrupt nazi clowns" and such.
This doesn't address the Putin's admission that he is after adding lands to the empire a-la Peter the Great though. Shall we just forget it and pretend that never happened?
The ships of the Russian Black Sea fleet continue to take an extremely defensive position. This was stated by the British Ministry of Defense in reference to the country’s intelligence.
According to them, the patrolling of the surface ships of the fleet is generally limited to the water area in sight of the Crimean coast.
“This contrasts with the increased activity of Russian naval forces in other seas, typical of this time of year,” British intelligence stressed.
As noted, the Russian Black Sea fleet continues to use long-range cruise missiles to support ground offensives, but is currently “experiences difficulties in exerting effective control over the sea.”
“It lost its flagship, the cruiser Moskva, a significant part of the naval aviation’s fighter jets and control of Snake Island,” the UK defense department said.
“The currently limited effectiveness of the Black Fleet undermines Russia’s overall invasion strategy, in part because the maritime threat to Odessa has now been largely neutralized*.
Russia pulls subs from Crimea to be safe
Due to the threat of Ukrainian attacks, Russia has withdrawn its Kilo-class submarines from the annexed Ukrainian Black Sea peninsula of Crimea, according to a British intelligence report.
The ships of the Black Sea Fleet have been moved from their home port of Sevastopol to the southern Russian port city of Novorossiysk, the Ministry of Defense in London reported on Tuesday in its daily intelligence update on the Ukraine war.

The US has the second largest navy in the world. This war is US vs Russia. Poor Ukraine just got in the middle.
Bullshit: it is 100% Ukraine fighting with mostly old Soviet weapons and very light sprinkle of Western artillery and air defense. No Western aircraft, no Western tanks, no Western troops, no Western weapons capable of reaching further than 80 km.

Then what are they doing with the billions of dollars we are sending them?
This is the war against Russia that was delayed until they could get Trump out of office.
Ruscia started this shit. Nobody invaded them. They were the ones who chose the time and place.
We will have to see the election outcome in the US. If the Trumpian, Republicans score the wins I'm expecting; the Democrats are just gonna lose their shit and pass all kinds of pure crap in the lame duck session that takes place before the new Congress is sworn in in January. Think the Republic will put up with that shit?

The Russians have even gone so far as to give a heads up to the upcoming attacks by formally letting everyone know they have backed out of the UN sponsored deal allowing transport of grains from the Ukrainian ports. This allows non-combatant foreign vessels time to flee the area.

Buying ammunition, paying for tank repair, etc.
we aren’t sending dollars, we are just sending military equipment valued at x amount…
Russian president Vladimir Putin said that, in order for Russia to rejoin the "grain initiative", Ukraine must provide security guarantees for Russia’s Black Sea Fleet.
"We are not saying that we are stopping our participation in this operation (grain initiative). No, we are talking about the fact that we are suspending it," said Putin.
He stressed that as soon as such security guarantees are provided by Ukraine, Russia will return to the agreement.
Can we agree that the Russian, Ukrainian, and United States Governments are all corrupt as fuck?
Can we further agree that the Biden family along with others in the highest ranks of our corrupt political class have had shady dealings with Ukraine for a long time before the Russians invaded?
Can anyone name a Western leader with a popularity score higher than Putin's?
Zekensky is only alive because our CIA keeps offing the rebels that want him gone. He is not a popular person in his own country.
Sooner or later the protesters in European countries are gonna start putting their leaders' heads onto pikes.

Today is the anniversary of the end of the previous Schpecial Military Opereyshun (SCHMO) against opponent also considered racially inferiour and subhuman during which Ruscia also lost its flagship and had its fleet neutered:

Nuland: [Breaks in] I think Yats is the guy who's got the economic experience, the governing experience. He's the... what he needs is Klitsch and Tyahnybok on the outside. He needs to be talking to them four times a week, you know. I just think Klitsch going in... he's going to be at that level working for Yatseniuk, it's just not going to work.
