After 2014 the Ukrainian military sought out Western military expertise. They worked hard to develop a professional officer and NCO corps for their military and to adopt Western practices.This is some master level war planning.
I wonder how much of this is western war planning, being fed to the Ukranians, using western intel.
Ether way, I agree.After 2014 the Ukrainian military sought out Western military expertise. They worked hard to develop a professional officer and NCO corps for their military and to adopt Western practices.
While I am reasonably certain they have been aided greatly by the Western military and intelligence infrastructure, and certainly have received plenty of our tax dollars and support, I believe they also learned the lessons well of 2014 and chose not to repeat those errors. The ukrainians appear to have fully grasped and understood the application of modern Western military doctrine including offensive preparation and the OODA loop.
Personally I want to see them continue their success. I don't like bullies. And I don't like Invaders.
Curious how soon Pootypoo is going to threaten both Ukraine and NATO with tactical nukes? I hope the political opposition and the Army team up to take out Putin and his FSB cronies.Ether way, I agree.
I know everyone bemoans the cost of the aid. But its WORTH IT, every penny. This is going to end up (and already is) a completely humiliating defeat for Russia. As I once said, its bad but not the end of the world to come out on the short end of a asymmetrical war. But this is a hard conventional thrashing.. at the very least we end up with a completely diminished Russia that wont be a true threat for a decade or more. At the best we have putin in a bunker with his own gun to his head and regime change.

Damn inflation…

Seems that they've been busy laying the trap since February.Meh!
Don‘t discount the Russians while it appears the Ukrainian forces are on the move. The Russian army may be laying a trap.

Putin has time on his side, don't misread anything. If he unleashes the Russian Air Force, things could change rather quickly. Just saying.Seems that they've been busy laying the trap since February.
