lol
That funding is for Raytheon, Boeing, Lockheed Martin, etc. Ukraine doesn't have anything to do with it. That's just where the value of that funding gets blown up by a shell that's been sitting underground for 40 years and cost $9 when it was made.
By this point they're sitting pretty for the foreseeable future. There's a lot more than 1 year of contracts for various companies to restock the AT4's, Javelins, Stingers, 155mm shells, so on and so forth to what we'd consider acceptable levels. And that's just pretty conventional arms we know the stockpiles of beforehand.
It's almost like they're emulating the Red Army when it blew the Dnipro Dam in 1941 to slow down the Reich,
I suppose they could, but it seems like the radiation would blow south westward over the black sea, and that could be awkward.
This is a very likely reason. RuAF retreated from Kherson last year. And Ukrainians gloat about it. Why they hasn't repaired it is beyond me. Also, salivating over another Chernobyl at Zaporozhskaya NPP is beyond stupid. It's suicidal
I've seen a lot of Ukrainians floating the idea of reconciliation with Russia, online and personally (anecdotal, I know, but still unexpected). The problem is I believe the Ukraine has burned its bridges with Russia/Russians with stunts like this. A nuke would make the entire nation go ham, and a lot of others with it. It may not be Putin's red line, but its a red line for a lot of other folks.
The eternal anglo would stoop that low, and much, much lower
Its one of a few reasons, they were consolidating the lines at that time and the dam was a serious concern since it kept getting hit by missiles. This occurred right when Surovikin was placed in charge for a few months, this is when the Bakhmut meat grinder was initiated and the positions west of the Dnieper were viewed as an over extension that wasn't going anywhere for a year or more. The tightening of the lines ended up with Kharkov getting rolled in an uncontrolled manner since it was always the most lightly manned area of the front, Russia wanted to close out that area of the front but obviously in not such a shitty fashion.
Zelensky was already fucked the moment he couldn't show any massive gains. This is a proxy war, none of this is being done for free or out of the goodness of anyone's heart. Zelensky is annoying because he constantly demands, demands and doesn't show a single thing worthwhile. They're already preparing the sacrifice. The CIA did not want to be there for this long, its lost a lot of resources and personnel and has consistently wanted to focus on China, because of the chip manufacturing and shit.
Cool it with the anti-
Fucking NAFO. If they weren't so destructive to the Ukrainian war effort, I would've infiltrated their Discord and talked several members into 41%-ing themselves by now.
