It looks like the Biden administration is catching up to where this thread was about a month ago. The possibility the conflict becomes "frozen" or a Korean style DMZ:

Ukraine could join ranks of...

The depleted Uranium rod anti tank rounds makes the Warthog worthwhile. Without it, the various older Euro training jets become almost as effective with the ground attack cannon or gun pods. However...

I usually start with the US administrative state influencing the Ukrainian election and coup around 2014...

I don't like adventure bikes. But, they do retain the good full flat seat I think is important for road safety on a motorcycle. You can shift your weight back in an emergency. So when the dog runs...

As late as last week there were senior retired US intelligence and defense officials doubting and denying the Patriot system can bring down the new Russian hypersonic missiles. The Patriot probably...

Zelensky is not my source for Ukrainian opinion. As I understand it Ethnic cleansing includes cultural and racially defined groups.

My post is a strong criticism of "Uncle Sam's" ineffective aid...

Whats the root of the deep Landrith hate? If Biden had been a Republican, I would have been very critical of his failure to utilize pre invasion international television appearances to strongly warn...

That its the Uncle Sam I have always known. The promise undelivered is more destructive then an honest refusal.

I am not a Biden voter, but looking at Biden's George H.W. Bush/ Sadam Hussein...

I am trying to adapt to Brifters on a bicycle, I haven't had to try paddle shifters on a car, and my cabover semi truck has a 13 speed Eaton that is so archaic, my son who is a real truck driver...

"Russian mobilized personnel continue to publish public complaints against Russian commanders alleging mistreatment."

That surprises me. At Ft. Benning School for boys in the early 80's we had the...

Not just any jail. Almost as bad as forever Basic Training in a Disciplinary unit....

Now reports are that Western special operations forces are in Ukraine have been leaked. Secret foreign deployments have been a continuing aspect of Western special forces readiness, they are often in...

I wanted a Raleigh Rush Hour fixie, but couldn't afford it. So I took an around 57 cm blue Grand Prix frame, painted it black with the original blue taped off in a couple stripes like the Rush Hour,...

Supposedly the "kill ratios" (another unfortunate Vietnam War mismanagement misleading statistical tool) were changed in several ways the documents were published online. I don't go to the leak...

This is the Pentagon permanent staff showing that Secretary Austin and General Milley are a modern General William Westmoreland deceiving the American public on Ukraine's real capabilities to win...

France's President Macron reading this forum thread?

"Macron sparks anger by saying Europe should not be ‘vassal’ in US-China clash
Alarm on both sides of Atlantic as French president warns...

Something was holding Ukraine back, even before 2014. Here in our world we had Unik Yachts with modern home buildable sailboat plans utilizing that wonderful but not documentable Baltic Birch...

I thought Biden was out to destroy my enemy and rival Europe. I remember working a second job for a Volvo scrapper and auto-mechanic in the recession of the early 1990's. Bosch could demand and get...

I grew up with a father that was a Human Rights Manager in the 1960's and 1970's. His father as a child had watched the Greenwood District of Tulsa burn. I thought racism had ended then on Mid...

I am thick skinned, I have always had very low self esteem so the Bilge with its high number of liberal Democrats and a few RINO establishment Socialist Republicans criticizing me puts me in my...

Tanks from the Europeans aren't even being delivered as was earlier promised. The UK will probably still ship spent uranium antitank rounds even though Putin is trying to make this a nuclear...

Just like John W says, I do not respond to reason, and of course everybody finds my sources discredited , and I am sure fact checking will show that the Ukraine Army still holds far more than the...

Revisionist Historians show us that US entry into WWII wasn't such a justly arranged response.

I am usually maximally AntiWar. I think Hawaii needs to make good flower leis for visitors, not have...

That is why as a school kid I thought heat pumps were inferior. I didn't know why. No one explained this was the reason. It seems easy enough to compensate for in a mixed system.

It is all too pat for me. It seems scripted. I tried to remind a political activist friend of mine that during this time a candidate devotes enormous resources just to get attention and compete in...

Trust me GOP numbers in Congress currently favor expanding US support for Ukraine with a view to replacing the Democrats in being the darlings of the Military Industrial Complex and war profiteering....

Yes that is true. I was fact checked. There were no US funded biolabs in Ukraine. https://www.c-span.org/video/?c5005520/senator-rubio-questions-undersecretary-nuland-biolabs-ukraine

John, you are...

So you can see what I am proposing. Or to borrow from Russian Anarchists, "Propaganda by the Deed" https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/1478601042000281105?journalCode=gjup20. If the D.C....

I have a New Year's resolution to adjust to the new "Rules Based Order" https://www.greanvillepost.com/2022/12/22/what-is-the-rules-based-order/ that Putin complains of. I think it has for several...

I was careful to distinguish the window of opportunity for USA and France to insert ground forces West of the contested line and a UN operation.

And as was noticed earlier, I said "IF" Ukraine is...

The Ukraine and US rhetoric is that Russia needs to be stopped before it threatens the rest of Europe. I disagree. But I am just accepting that this is the concern as stated. In the next 2 weeks,...

I know the hope here that there is a Ukrainian counter offensive and fresh Ukrainian troops with better equipment and training, but I fear that would be a renewed effort in attrition. I am saying...

I think Russian Infantry finally transcended Soviet tactics in Bakhmut and finally learned small unit combined team tactics to get into Ukraine trenches and city blocks successfully. It took too long...

It is an Edgar Rice Burroughs conspiracy theory....the Inner Earth is heated by its own Sun at the core. So if you have a buried pipe , you should get endless free heat...lol

I didn't believe in them as a kid, I blamed them for some public buildings being slow to change from heating to cooling in response to the weather outside. But, seeing them directly used in some...

Part 5 is the problem. Our social engineers and university professors worshiping machine replacement have zero experience maintaining complex machinery. It breaks down in unforeseeable ways. Sure AI...

Australia doesn't always follow along. They probably weren't going to follow W. Bush into Iraq until https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2002_Bali_bombings

The US State Department probably thought they...

I was experimenting with ChatGPT which supposedly has a database of the Internet up to 3 or 4 years ago. I was playing with it on obscure sail powered coastal fishing craft and of course it was...

We in this forum. We couldn't even critique our foreign policy or hold the US State Department to the lowest standards of not destroying Europe and the environment in failing to save Ukraine... I...

I think several rare predators made gains in territory during the lock downs. In North East Kansas, my adult son took a picture of a bigger cat print the size of his hand. In an area where we haven't...

Many half models and model boats are made from the plans in books like American Small Sailing Craft: Their Design, Development and Construction by Howard I. Chapelle. The Lines plans dictate form the...

My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Looms but the Horror of the shade,

There are other grand juries and investigations of real crimes. Reminds me of the junior right wing lawyers pursuit of impeaching Bill Clinton. Starr was installed, a strategy was pre arranged and...

Don't say that. Someone might be looking at Biden pictures over the years!

I don't think the current Putin is the guy the CIA selected and helped to lead Russia. I see him more as an avatar or...

My sources never stand muster in this forum. That is why I don't cite the numbers I have heard. Our government has worker bees that can tell their higher ups exactly what is happening on the ground....

I have been content here in this forum to blame it all on Bill Clinton and NAFTA, like the proto-Trump Ross Perot described as the "Big Sucking Sound". During the period, I worked in a door...

"The sea has never been friendly to man. At most it has been the accomplice of human restlessness.“

Joseph Conrad, The Mirror of the Sea

This has the feel of a bad passion play. The fringe Right has been saying since November 2022 that their plan is Trump getting arrested. It finally happens just in time to cover the revelations of...

This looked like a desperate opportunity for Ukraine to overcome being restricted from adequately resupply of the Eastern front trough rail and road transport, and from inadequate ammunition from US...
