Dnipro, 15 July morning
I had another trip to and from the border yesterday, there is a significant drop in military supplies now, although was a couple convoys, just not big. Saw a couple Bradley's in desert comouflage, not sure why not painted, as Ukraine doesn't have any deserts so am assuming they won't last too long :)
People in the west starting to be worried, they have seen a marked increase in missile and drone attacks, and everyone can see the damage.
I saw Taco Don's recent back flips with amusement, much as I expect Russians will see them as well.
The usa has been sending as many weapons as they can for close to 6 years now, pumping Ukraine full of weapons and where has it got us? Taco Don now selling weapons to Europe isn't the real story, the real story will be Europe stealing the Russian assets to pay for them.
All that said, these are irrelevent. The only two relevant facts are Ukraine is fast running out of manpower, at a serious rate now, most battalions are at press than 50 percent strength, desertions running at 16000 a month according to our own media, and casualties even more.
Mobilisation is proceeding as fast as they can round people up, but they aren't even replacing deserters without accounting for casualties.
The other issue is the usa doesn't have weapons to sell, what will be sold will be ordered, to be delivered way down the track...
Idiot Trump and his neocon mates are confusing the conflict here which is a boots on the ground war of attrition, with an air war. Russia has both huge and well equipped armies, and complete air dominance. Even providing Ukraine with all the air defence and missiles we can won't make up for lack of manpower to hold back Russian advances. Idiots. They think providing Ukraine with air defence and missiles will make a difference, but air defence will be destroyed, and missile attacks into Russia will merely lead to Russian escalation. And as Obama once stated, in Ukraine, Russia has escalatory dominance.
Far from saving Ukraine, or prolonging the war, Taco Don's actions will lead to the faster destruction of Ukraine, and has removed the pretence about the usa being a mediator. Now if Putin will just call a spade a spade, note this is a Russia VS Nato war, and the only way for it to end will be in NATO's surrender, we can get on with doing just that.
No one seriously believes Trump will implement 100 percent secondary sanctions on all those buying Russian oil and gas, ffs, the entire eu still does, including Ukraine. As with all Taco Don's threats and posturing, we all know he's full of shit. His actions are designed to try and make the usa look tough, but as they fail, it just underlines their weakness. Now, release the Epstein files.... As well as the 100 or so trade deals you promised.
