singalion Posted September 2, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2023 The US has just released the next amounts to the Ukraine to finance the war. It doesn't look like the Western alliance is rolling back any aid. In my view Russia has already lost the war. No major gains. It was unable to gain the two not internationally recognised Republics (Donetz and Luhansk) in the East. The Crimea island is also not safe from attacks.

The aid includes air defense munitions, artillery rounds, anti-armor capabilities, and additional mine-clearing equipment, said U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, who plays a central role in coordinating drawdowns, said in a statement.

singalion Posted September 12, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2023 This above post is dumb as usual. Russia is part of G20, Ukraine is not. You are riding on something that is wasted energy. There is no shift on the stance of the world on Russia's violation of international law and Russia's aggressive invasion into Ukraine. Jokowi the previous G20 chairman had a different approach than Modi. The plan was to achieve a joint statement for the G20 summit. How to achieve a joint statement if the aggressor is sitting at the conference table with approval rights. Fact is that the stance against Russia has not changed. Any UN vote would receive same results as before, a condemnation of the act of Russia in Ukraine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Putin is unwilling to engage in a lone battle with the United States and its allies. He is not desperate but sensible to team up with individuals fighting against the same enemy. I cannot say the same about Zelenskky, his ending may not look pretty and I hope, while he is still alive, have the wisdom to seek asylum in China before America send spy to quietly terminate him for being loud and useless in the war. Personally, he looks like a cute and cuddly teddy bear if he stopped being used by America.

singalion Posted September 14, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2023 In leaked phone calls, Russian soldiers appear angry at losses in Ukraine Excerpts released by Kyiv of phone calls placed in early July appear to show Russian troops complaining. 5 Sep 2023 Ukraine’s counteroffensive was in its second month when Andrey, a Russian soldier, called his wife to say his unit was taking heavy casualties. They were so badly equipped, he said, it felt like the Soviet forces in World War II. “They are f*****g us up,” Andrey said by telephone on July 12, comparing the onslaught to the worst moments of Germany’s invasion of the Soviet Union. “No f*****g ammunition, nothing … Shall we use our fingers as bayonets?” The conversation was one excerpt from 17 phone calls placed by Russian soldiers fighting in the south and east of Ukraine that were intercepted in the first two weeks of July by the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU), the country’s main intelligence agency. The expletive-laden intercepts, shared with the Reuters news agency by a Ukrainian intelligence source, provide a rare – albeit partial – glimpse into the conditions of some Russian soldiers as Kyiv prosecuted a major counteroffensive, which started in early June, two military analysts told Reuters.

singalion Posted September 14, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2023 Ukraine hits Russian naval vessels and an air defence system in Crimea strikes Satellite footage shows damage to landing ship and submarine in Sevastopol while large explosions seen near Yevpatoriya Thu 14 Sep 2023 A Ukrainian missile strike on a shipyard in occupied Crimea has severely damaged and possibly destroyed a Russian amphibious landing ship and a Kilo-class submarine, satellite footage shows. If confirmed, the direct hit to the vessels in Sevastopol on Wednesday would mark one of the most devastating strikes against the Russian navy in the war, and the largest since the sinking of the Moskva guided missile cruiser in 2022. In a second day of strikes in Crimea, Ukrainian forces claimed to have destroyed an S-400 air defence system on Thursday. Video published on social media showed large explosions near Yevpatoriya, on the occupied peninsula’s south-west coast, where Ukraine said Russia had stationed the air defence system. Satellite footage showed that the missiles had struck a Russian anti-aircraft position that had previously been identified in social media posts, Radio Free Europe reported. The earlier Ukrainian cruise missile strike that hit a shipyard in Crimea on Wednesday caused large explosions at a major centre for the construction and repair of vessels in the Russian Black Sea fleet. The damage to the ships could disable the local dry docks until the debris is cleared. “Satellite imagery published on September 12 shows one Ropucha-class landing ship and one Kilo-class submarine at the dry dock, and satellite imagery published on September 13 shows that the Ukrainian missile strike likely destroyed the two vessels,” wrote the Institute for the Study of War, a Washington DC-based thinktank that regularly publishes analysis of the conflict.

I think $24 trillion should be the right amount from the America's coffer. Ukrainians have sacrificed so much for the America and deserves no less. In fact, it should be given as gift without needing to repay nor request from Zelenskky personally. As for Hawaiin household receiving $700 each from the fire disaster, it should be enough. Hawaii is not an important place to America, more than Ukraine to Joe Biden. It will be nice to give Hawaii to China and thus strengthen the bond with China which America's has difficulty winning.

But St. Helena doesn't belong to the US. But don't the US have facilities somewhere on the Cuban island? Might not be suitable as Putin may infiltrate some existing prisoners...

Russia-Ukraine war at a glance: what we know on day 600 of the invasion Russia’s biggest offensive in months is failing, says Ukrainian commander; at least six people killed in Russian strikes Mon 16 Oct 2023 A top Ukrainian commander has said Russia’s biggest offensive in months on the eastern Ukrainian town of Avdiivka is failing, adding that Kyiv’s own attempts to advance in the south were proving “difficult”. Russia has continued to deploy new forces in an attempt to surround the city, according to Vitaliy Barabash, the head of its military administration. Both Moscow and Washington have described the surge in violence around Avdiivka as a new Russian offensive. At least six people have been killed in Russian attacks on Ukraine in the past 24 hours, local officials reported on Sunday. Two people were killed and three more injured in the Kherson area after more than 100 shells bombarded the region over the weekend, the local governor, Oleksandr Prokudin, wrote on social media, according to AP. The White House national security adviser, Jake Sullivan, said on Sunday that a new weapons package for Israel and Ukraine would be significantly more than $2bn. In an interview on CBS’s Face the Nation, Sullivan said Joe Biden would have extensive talks with the US Congress this week on the need for the package to be approved. Russian forces had improved their positions along almost the entire line of contact in Ukraine, the Russian president, Vladimir Putin, said on Sunday. Reuters reported that in a video posted to social media by the Kremlin journalist Pavel Zarubin, Putin said: “What is happening now along the entire length of the [line of] contact is called an active defence.” Volodymyr Zelenskiy thanked troops in areas where fighting was “particularly hot”. In his regular address he said: “I thank everyone who is holding their positions and destroying Russian troops”, citing Avdiivka, Maryinka and other key locations in the Donetsk region.

There are good chances that the responsible for all that will soon be behind bars, and his fellow racketeers and corrupts are increasingly been punished too. This is testimonial to the strength of America! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Republicans are desperate to recover POWER, and since for them "the goal justifies the means" they don't mind shamelessly lying and deceiving, and hurt the nation with a government shutdown so they can blame Biden and the Democrats. This "disaster" you mention is nothing but PURE LYING. Since Biden took office, he (the democrats) passed important positive legislation that the Republicans would have never passed. The economy is resilient, the inflation is down and under control, and a recession has been averted. America is on the correct side of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, although incorrectly taking sides in the Israel-Palestinians conflict. Biden is NOT impeachable, neither does he face criminal charges. Not so the previous president, who not only RAISED THE US DEFICIT by many trillion dollars, but committed serious crimes while in office and after leaving.

There is no correct ro incorrect side for America. It simply is blindsided by its own arrogance and refused to admit all the mistakes it created everywhere.

No nation is perfect, but America is gravely and intensely flawed on a number of political and ethical fronts. Its friends are getting smaller, with the exception of a few Anglo Saxon allies who are also on the declining stage and do not deserve any pity from anyone.
