My nephew was flying to London a few years back. He always tells me he's a big Chelsea supporter. I asked him if he is going to tour Stamford Bridge...... and he said...... what's Stamford Bridge? Par for the course for Chelsea supporters.
Rumours flying around that it was... here's hoping!
Boat and a bridge in 24 hours?! Wouldn't it be wonderful if the answer to attacking was just to slow the drones down so they can't be picked up. The naval drone sure seemed to come to a stop before the final approach , and it doesn't seem to be...
Ukraine will receive F-16 fighter jets before the end of the year, John Kirby, US National Security Council Coordinator for Strategic Communications
"Ukraine's 3rd Assault Brigade is inflicting "massive" losses on enemy troops near Klishchiivka, south of Bakhmut". Klishchiivka looks like it was...
My 2 cents - the summer offensive started June 4th, and with summer being 3 months we shouldn't judge it until Sept 4th. Ukraine has clearly been focussing on damaging russian stockpiles, command, troops, and supply lines.
At some point in time russian troops are going to experience...
Remember putin is terrified of dying. Has special people handle his food, stays away from damn near everyone, has identical rooms in multiple cities so few people know exactly where he is when he is filmed, has the same group of people with him for photo ops and just has them change their...
I find this stuff comical now. Putler has threatened nukes so many times and done nothing because he knows that he and russia will be wiped out within hours of launching one.
Kerch bridge might be collapsing/self destructing/hit by something... there's clearly a 1' gap where the bridge has separated (11 seconds to 33 seconds) - other reports coming in that the area near the145th pillar has collapsed
So today Reporting from Ukraine on YouTube (excellent daily watch - thanks peter ward) said that he uses this site https://ground.news/interest/ukraine to filter news as they give stats on how many places are reporting a story and if they lean left or right and are large news agencies or small...
He's got to think beyond that, publicly anyway. US citizens love the "thank you for saving us" "we'd be dead without you" "we're so grateful" kind of thing. Really wouldn't take too many missteps by Zelensky for a growing group in the US to insist the US pull back on support. Hell they still...
Watch today's Reporting From Ukraine video and you'll see that Ukraine seems to have modified S-200 rockets to give them a 400km range. If this is true either the Kerch bridge is coming down, or russia will be moving a ton of resources towards the bridge to defend it (preferably both) Either...
Lengthy, lengthy, lengthy... but excellent article explaining why russia is likely running out of shells, launchers, and replacement barrels, and why they are likely having trouble getting replacements...
A bit heavy of an analysis there PeterWard - without the US Ukraine would already be completely defeated.
The F16's can't just magically show up, they need pilots, they need support staff of around 100 people including maintenance crew per . Then they need parts and a safe place to store...
Decent, basic, analysis of where Ukraine is in regards to behind or on schedule with their strategy https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-07-04/war-russia-is-ukraine-military-strategy-on-track/102554712
Ukraine apparently in Bakhmut and recaptures several streets.... I suspect by the time I wake up in the morning there will be a lot of jaw dropping reports.
