If we're being honest here. Ukraine can't sustain the manpower required longer term. You can give them all the equipment they want/need, the level of manpower UKR needs isn't there longer term. Negotiate to pre-invasion (the second one) borders and start there.
Gotta be some talks this fall/winter for Ukraine. No way they can sustain a numbers game this long even with full NATO support. Gonna have to give some land no matter how painful. Re-build and go full Uncle Ho in those disputed lands.
While I agree with you generally, their training has definitely improved over the years. We shot often and had a great relationship with CATM folks, to include having an assigned CATM in our community so we were often out there for their shoots. It went from laughable to more shoot and move and different situations rather than old school static weaver stance blasting 🙂 Bottom line, if they aren't shooting on their own time, they aren't going to be 'good'.
Mr. Trump. Please please please just shut the fuck up. Its shut the fuck up Friday tomorrow. Then shut the fuck up Saturday and so on. You gain nothing by opening your mouth. I'm voting this year strictly off past performance and projected performance. One will keep this country around for a few more years and the alternative might not. Please. Shut the fuck up.
They should have never got to that point. The aircraft was telling them something was wrong for a long time. Way before it should have gotten to a land immediately. They skipped over multiple 'as practical' and 'possibles'.
