Big Don told Putin not to escalate the war. I have just checked liveuamap and the Russians sent 4 ballistic missiles to Kiev.

You may have overlooked the small detail of Ukraine sending three dozen drones directly to Moscow immediately after Big Don told Putin that.Big Don told Putin not to escalate the war. I have just checked liveuamap and the Russians sent 4 ballistic missiles to Kiev.
Russian journo Marat Khairullin looked into this a bit more a couple of months back. He made the point that it's not just raw numbers that matter, but how often you can fly them. To put it very crudely, US planes are designed to give F1 levels of performance, producing the biggest numbers on paper. But to do that they need exceptional amounts of coddling and servicing. Russian planes on the other hand are meant to just work. They aim for the best performance that will work most of the time. Any plane in the air is more useful than one in the hangar.about 67% of 630 F-35s are operational, 50% of 186 f-22s are operational.
Meanwhile the bunker analogy grows stronger and stronger.Judging by how the F-35 flies in Israel, this aircraft is capable of taking off only once every few days, and this is despite the fact that the Israeli aviation is considered the most combat-ready in the Western bloc, and their F-35s are the most “finished” and “pumped up”.
The main combat load in the US Army is carried by the F-16 aircraft (the old man 40+). The hegemon has about 850 of them. It is officially known that only 40 percent of the F-16 fleet is in full combat condition. At the same time, the F-16 is an aircraft with a very limited range (half of our Sukhois), so it can not stay in the air for long.
At the same time, due to its age and technical complexity, the aircraft can only make one combat sortie per day at most. The norm is considered to be one sortie every three days. This is approximately what we are seeing in Israel now.
Once again, compare it with our aircraft fleet. The direct analogue of the multifunctional F-16 is the Su-30 and Su-34. There are about 300 of them - 150 Su-30s and about 130 "ducklings" (so-called due to its appearance).
Duckling takes flight
Not only is the entire fleet, with the exception of those located directly at the repair plant, on duty - that is, nominally 100 percent combat readiness (Americans, ho-ho-ho to your 40 percent), but five combat sorties per day are considered normal for these aircraft. On average, the "ducklings" in the SMO show four combat sorties per day.
Let's count: the hell with it, let's say we have 200 "multifunctionals" working directly in the troops - multiply by five. A thousand combat sorties a day!
It is now believed that our bombers in the SMO make an average of 200 sorties per day along the entire front. Sometimes even three hundred. That is, it turns out that we work at a quarter of our real combat capabilities, but if you look at the dynamics, then everything is on the rise.
We should reach our peak in about six months. Just imagine - a thousand bombing sorties a day. And that's without taking into account all the other wings, and they can also make their contribution. For example, the owners of Ukrainian slaves are in a panic from how our Su-57 works. This plane can stay in the air for a very long time, and due to the fact that it sees everything far away and is armed with very long-range weapons, it turns out that it is literally sitting in ambush. Not everyone knows that, at almost every moment of time, one or two Su-57s are in the air. They guard primarily the Black Sea and, apparently, the most dangerous sections of the border and the front. Hence, the unprecedented efficiency - almost any launch of Ukrainian missiles from an aircraft ends with the carrier being destroyed. The Americans have nothing even close to this. Compare the F-22, which needs to be prepared for takeoff in five days (in the best case, if there is the appropriate infrastructure at the base) and our super-new aircraft.
Oh we are 100% going to war with Iran within the next 2 years. It's kinda funny seeing all the Trump stans insist that this term will be smooth sailing.
China is still much too strong for us to antagonize openly and the GOP wants to cease the Russia bullshit, so more Middle East shenanigans are the way to go.
They aren't in a formal pact like NATO.But with Russia being (more) officially aligned with Iran now, wouldn't a war with Iran put us at war with Russia? In fact moreso than we already are in Ukraine..
Not if Russia just sends a few hundred billion in arms, training, intelligence assistance and mercenairies to help Iran fight the USA and doesn't put Russian boots on the ground. NATO's new rules.But with Russia being (more) officially aligned with Iran now, wouldn't a war with Iran put us at war with Russia? In fact moreso than we already are in Ukraine..
Which would be on brandThey aren't in a formal pact like NATO.
I'd say that would only kick in if the Israelis purposely attacked Russian military bases in Iran.
I was taken away, my anxiety-depressive disorder is not acknowledged, they do not listen to me at all.
There was Russian music playing for an hour in the cabin of the bus that was taking me, it's crazy......
Oops I'm late, but the quote with millions of Ukrainians ready to be strapped to a nuke instead of going to the gulag and saying they will literally play god still was worth it“You need to understand we face an existential challenge. If the Russians take Ukraine, millions of Ukrainians will be killed under occupation,” said Valentyn Badrak, director of the centre that produced the paper. “There are millions of us who would rather face death than go to the gulags.” Badrak is from Irpin, where occupying Russians tortured and murdered civilians, and he was hunted by troops with orders to kill him.
Yizhak believes the threshold for developing a nuclear rearmament programme would be Putin’s troops reaching the city of Pavlohrad, a military-industrial hub about 60 miles from the present front line. Any further, and there would be a risk some of Ukraine’s largest cities, such as Dnipro and Kharkiv, could fall before the weapon was developed.
“I was surprised by the reverence the United States has for Russia’s nuclear threat. It may have cost us the war,” Yizhak said. “They treat nuclear weapons as some kind of God. So perhaps it is also time for us to pray to this God.”
Is this the guy who leaked the fact that Ukraine had actually lost more troops than Russia?
The leak was about something like homosexuals in Harlem NY.Is this the guy who leaked the fact that Ukraine had actually lost more troops than Russia?
He revealed absolutely fuck all apart from the fact that behind the scenes the spooks are distributing the same shit intelligence that appears every day in the mainstream press. Actually that was the scariest revelation for me, the fact that these people genuinely believe their own propaganda. Unless there's some super secret inner circle that is a bit more realistic about what's going on.Is this the guy who leaked the fact that Ukraine had actually lost more troops than Russia?
I believe that Russian news sources are banned from Twitter, despite many of them providing more accurate information then Ukraine approved sourcesUkrainians unsurprisingly are turning to Telegram for news. Wasn't Twitter meant to be the beacon of freedom?
