Ukraine - Russia Conflict

Seems to me that they've barely moved in the last 3 days, and if they're having logistical problem already when they're still so close to Russian/Belarussian/Crimean territory, imagine what will happen when they get further west. By comparison the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1968 lasted about 24 hours.
Here, watch this sweetie. The Ukrainians don't even need your Javelins or NLAWs. This is how they do it.
Make sure this goes viral in you know where.
So you draw assumptions based on WW-2 or civil disturbances in some thinly populated E European country from 60 yrs back, on the progress the Ru Army is to have made in as many days & then you go on to declare the invasion is a failure / stalemated when most of the sane world don't even know the amount of territory Putin wants seized & by what time before he calls an end to the campaign.
Perhaps you've access to his plans. Do share it with us.
Do let us know what's preventing NATO from entering the war? Or what's preventing it from establishing a No Fly Zone which the comedian has pleaded for ? While on topic your SecDef was bragging the Scots Guards kicked the arses of the Russian Cossacks in the Crimean war & they'd gladly do it again. Why don't you ask him to put his money where his mouth is?

Donald Lu, the assistant secretary of State for South Asian affairs, on Thursday told lawmakers in a hearing that the administration is weighing how threatening India's historically close military relationship with Russia is to U.S. security.
“It’s a question we’re looking at very closely, as the administration is looking at the broader question over whether to apply sanctions under CAATSA or to waive those sanctions,” Lu said.
The Countering American Adversaries Through Sanctions Act, passed in 2017 in the wake of the Kremlin’s interference in U.S. elections, includes the authority to sanction transactions with Russian defense or intelligence sectors.
The law includes waiver authority for the president that was used for Turkey, an ally in NATO, until December 2020 when the Trump administration imposed sanctions under the law for Ankara’s purchase of the Russian S400 missile defense system.
In 2016, India was named a “Major Defense Partner” with the U.S., a unique designation that serves to elevate defense trade and technology. Defense contracts between the U.S. and India are said to have amounted to $20 billion since 2008.
India is also a member of the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue with the U.S., Japan and Australia, a grouping that focuses on countering China’s ambitions in the Indo-Pacific.
President Biden held a video call with Quad leaders on Thursday, according to the White House, “to discuss the war against Ukraine and its implications for the Indo-Pacific.”
Lu told lawmakers that the administration is “in the process of trying to understand whether defense technology that we are sharing with India today can be adequately safeguarded given India’s historical relationship with Russia and its defense sales.”
“It is critical that with any partner, that the United States is able to assure itself that any defense technology we share is sufficiently protected,” he said.
Lu said the administration has been engaged in a “pitched battle” with Indian officials over the past couple of months leading up to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. President Biden, Secretary of State Antony Blinken and other senior officials in the State Department urged New Delhi to “to take a clearer position, a position opposed to Russia’s action.”
The secretary said India’s abstention at the United Nations and its commitment to provide Ukraine with humanitarian assistance are promising steps in a shift in its public position and that he expects an even greater shift in the aftermath of outrage at the death of an Indian student killed in Kharkiv, Ukraine's second-largest city, by Russian bombing in recent days.
“I have had several conversations with Indian officials in the last 24 hours,” Lu said. “What we can see, already, very quickly is that action has begun to turn public opinion in India against a country that they perceived as a partner, undeniably, that partner has killed a young person who was an innocent victim in Ukraine.”

You ought to be telling us. It's been there for more than a week. Sitting ducks for Ukrainian AF given that RuAF hasn't sanitized the air space over Ukraine. Then there are those Turkish drones which have utterly destroyed almost the entire tank force & artillery of the RuA. Finally there are your Javelins & NLAWs. The very fact that the convoy exists is a miracle.What could be wrong?
What could be wrong?
Seems like convoys need
IED, SEAD bait in unmanned vehicle at front & rear .

The guy is senile this comes from the folks pulling his strings. As for what... Who knows how the democratic party and their globalist leaders think.
Errr... Last time when US and UK moved on for a kill on India, Russia intervened. UK and US will not even intervene to save their mother from war. Rest of the world apart from Russia ... well, lets say they do not matter much.

The reason the Russian column got to be so long was due to Russian Army officers “fulfilling the plan”.
They might be shot by the chain of command for disobeying orders to advance into the traffic jam, but won’t be if they obey orders to fulfill the plan.

We should welcome the so called sanctions, US has been simply harassing & annoying India by supporting those islamic fundamentalist thugs & rogues in name of human rights & democracy. Quad is a non-starter which exists only on paper. Finally we can stop buying US equipment and also ask them to take a hike openly.
Hard fact is that US will do the same thing what it is doing to ukraine to India as well if china attacks. So why bother about their support?
Atleast we wont get Ukrained!
