#2 Ground videos show damages much more extensive. As with Ukraine Government and media control working together. Ground reference source my contact in Vietnam who handled security during that war. Other sources claim Israel restricting information released. Fog of war.

#5 We supply Israels rockets for iron dome. Knowing how depleted stacks are now for USA a prolonged war will be difficult to manage resources. If Russia was a supplier their production levels far surpass the rest of the world. 400 is as nothing when Russia bombards Ukraine daily with far greater number of missiles." the number of individual Russian cruise missiles, rockets and drones targeting civilian areas in 2024. In the first half of 2024, approximately 3,500 ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and drones were fired at Ukraine, double the number compared to the first half of 2023, with the highest numbers in January (620) and March (over 880 airstrikes)".

#7 In the beginning a small number of Russian troops entered Ukraine to encourage a peaceful conclusion to their conflict first do no harm. Pressured by the west and supplied by the west stiffened resolve of Z. So special operations have now transitioned to war. Troops withdrawn so Putin appeared weak. So now lost of life and huge costs drain NATO and Ukraine. Meanwhile Russian has only advanced. Then after election if Harris wins then war will be prolonged and monies spent. As in WW11 Russia will overwhelm and demand complete and total surrender. Absolutely no compromise. Curiously with Z having no authority or not considered by Russia to represent his people. I wonder who the fall guy will be.

#8 #6 Francis, you're thinking like an American (Afghanistan, Iraq, etc...). It took Ivan the Terrible* 3 tries to conquer the Kazan Khanate. It took Russians a 100+ years to destroy Crimean Khanate** (and settle what's became New Russia - the proximate cause of the current war).

*IMO a better translation would've been "the Dreaded".
** Did you know that Peter the Great - the guy who beat Sweden - paid tribute to Crimean Khanate?
