Haven't shared a map in a while so here we go. Ukraine making some advances in the south it seems. Russia seems to be trying to push hard into Lyman and making another big push around 10 miles southwest of Sloviansk. If I had to guess I would say this is them wanting to be able to eventually attack Sloviansk from two directions, the northwest and southwest of the city. But the Russians have rarely done a strategy that makes the most sense so who really knows what the plan is :lol: :lol:

Well that's not what we've told by the experts in this thread :lol:

We get their enriched uranium. They get to stay in power, keep creating ballistic missiles, and keep funding their terrorist proxies in the region. And we will call that a victory hahaha.

Forgot to post the link. It’s from CNN so take it with a grain of salt haha.

Here's where I think the administration isn't being straight up about things. We here one day that we've obliterated their navy, missiles, and drones. Then a refinery gets hit, an embassy or base gets hit, or another tanker gets hit. Then it's basically well we haven't obliterated their capabilities yet but I promise we are close. So not sure if this is all just political speak or we went in with bad intel about how many missiles, drones, and fast attack boats Iran actually had.

Then why were we in contact with the Kurds about them starting a ground operation? We were trying to convince them to, but they didn't because we wouldn't guarantee any air support or help if they started one. We basically said it would be nice if y'all launched something but we can't help if you do :lol: :lol:

I think it was an optimistic hope at the beginning, just like we thought and hoped the Kurds would launch a ground invasion. That being said you can't expect a population to start a revolution when bombs are falling around them. Even more so when it is an unarmed population.

I've rode in Houston in the past and have been almost every year since with animals in the livestock show. You are right there are plenty of cops but they can't be everywhere. This isn't as much of a one off now as it has been. The good thing is the cops are quick to respond and get it handled quickly.

If you don't think hitting tanker ships, oil refineries, and other infrastructure has an effect on things then idk what to tell ya :lol: :lol:

we whooping arse but can't really compare a campaign that is using only air and naval assets to ones that had ground forces involved.

When you start a war with no clear defined goals it's hard to win. We never really had a clear goal in mind of what we wanted to accomplish and how we were going to accomplish it.
