Russia Ukraine Update Thread - part 2

Russia says a depot in Odessa was cruise missiled. Possibly it contained newly delivered Harpoon anti ship / land attack missiles from Britain.

Anyway, I see this as a permanent war, just like covid is a permanent pandemic. There is too much profit at stake.

Russians bust out 5,000 kg bombs to bomb Azovsteel.

So what if this is close to the truth. What do you all think about it. This is April 21 numbers being reported.

Its a war of attrition and the US and 30 other countries will keep dumping high tech equipment into Ukraine at a level Russia can not even come close to in keeping up. As example they only have about 5000 war ready tanks and they may have lost close to 20%. APVs are even worst. They can't even field troops outside of forced conscripts, so Russia is in trouble if they think they can take and hold, or hold and hopefully Ukraine comes to the table which I do not think they will because they see they can have the upper hand and even maybe take back Crimea. Time is on Ukraine's side not Russia. The longer Russia takes the harder it will be for them.

I have previously reminded you that Russia did not loose 27 million. That total was for the USSR ( which Ukraine was part of at that time and their loss was 4 million of that 27 million )

Russia lost around 9 million.

America sending all of its tanks and artillery to Ukraine. That's pretty big involvement. By the end of next year or so it can be expected all of America's tanks and artillery would be blown up in Ukraine and there would be no tank and artillery left in America's inventory.

The U.S. didn't send any tanks to Ukraine, though we have plenty of them to spare if the Ukrainians knew how to use them, do you just randomly make up the stuff in your posts?

Russians start using UR-77 Meteorite. These were used to devastating effect in Syria.

Poroshenko vowed the children of Donbas hide in basement from Ukrainian artillery. Russians return the favor and make Ukrainian children hide in basement from Russian artillery.

Tell us again how russia isn't intentionally targeting civilians.

Or did you not even notice that this cruise missile targeted a large civilian building?

Serious question seeing as Putin is using almost every little toy at his discretion, how long do you think it will be before we read a story about a tactical nuclear weapon being used in Ukraine, that or a chemical or biological one.

That would be my biggest fear at this point in the game, he's not doing that well, and maybe in his mind a tactical nuke may make Ukraine surrender. I dunno just was thinking about it.

If you believe what Western News is saying about how Russian forces are doing that may make sense.


But, if you remember that The Smith-Mundt Modernization Act passed in 2012 legalized our government to not only target foreign nations with propaganda but US citizens as well. They can do so through any media source. They can pay media companies with our tax dollars to push a narrative and keep it confidential under the cloak of national security.

If you remember that, then you may want to consider that the info you are being told is not the entire truth or possibly outright lies.

In my opinion if Ukraine were to target the Crimea bridge with say a HIMARS or a Tomahawk then Kiev would get what is called a tactical low yield nuke.

There isn't an internet conspiracy you won't use huh? Please show me in the bill where it says they can lie or even target US citizens. What it did was allow Voice of America to give content to local media upon request. This means say a local paper wants to do a story on something written on VOA they can request the sources and use the material without having to pay them since it was provided with taxpayer money. Or put simply the VOA cannot charge someone for using their story.
