Army Guy

I stand by my comments made 2 months ago.... Do you know what it has cost ukraine ? no you don't not in your narrative....What has Ukraine gained by the Kursk operation? other than a short term moral boost? shit Russia did not take it to seriously since it took them 2 months to respond and during that time they took constant ground in other areas....And now i show you a map of Russian gains in the Kursk region and you blow them off...Top it all off even with the 50,000 deployed troops they are still taking ground in other regions....again brush that off ...And after seeing all of this NATO is still slow rolling it's support....i know you brushed that off as well...

Yes, because to you, talking about actual events on the ground in ukraine is dumb....the fact that most of their gains at measured in KM's not meters....is you not understanding a lot of things like urban warfare, mechanized warfare , this entire conflict....Ukraine can not possible match manpower pool, resources, or equipment pools...So sooner or later with out MORE NATO support, Ukraine is going to collapse....Thats another fact you refuse to believe....Thats not cheering on Russia thats telling the truth... How many times do i need to say it....Nationalist is a big boy he owns what he posts, take it up with him.....I'm not his keeper, neither are you... I still do not believe he is a Russian cheerleader....

My info comes from the media, just like yours....And it sure looks like that, but the scale of maps is what is important...when you zoom out to outer space it does not look like much, Standard military map is 1 over 50,000 each grid square is 1km wide, 1 km high.... Have you looked at your source, just take a look on the map with Pokrovsk and Toretsk on it it shows recent gains measured in KM. you might want to also take a look at the map showing Addiivka from 5 oct to 13 may....gains there also measured in KM's infact more than 20 kms Note today those gains are even father than your map suggests...BBC is a good source they update their maps on a daily basis start tracking the losses or gains and you'll find out everything is not coming up roses for Ukraine.... As for Kursk map....take a look at this one....and tell me Ukraine is not losing ground. Then tell me what is the cost that Ukraine has incurred....in men and equipment... https://www.newsweek.com/russia-redeploys-50000-troops-kursk-counter-offensive-ukraine-1967493 https://www.newsweek.com/russia-redeploys-50000-troops-kursk-counter-offensive-ukraine-1967493

Sure, terrorism being the lowest form of warfare... THEY are no legitimate targets...one can not just target them becasue they are there, that being said it is reasonable to ask them to leave those that do not leave and those that are accidentally killed would be collateral damage...

Considering the social programs we have now are in tatters, and in much need of new funding , sure it makes sense to start new ones that cost billions more so in the near future they to can be run down and in need of new funding....I mean why would we need to fix any of the existing programs we have just just start new social programs to keep there minds off the old stuff... I guess it is the left that easily distracted...."squirrel", here is the nice new shinny program, the old programs, these are not the druids you looking for... move along...

My question would be who would be stupid enough to take control of a sinking ship, even with new policies and new vision,for the next election, i don't think it is going to be enough to capture any real gain in the polls....the smart move would be to take over leadership after Justin thunders in....and rebuild the party new imigine for the next election or the one after that...stepping in now would be suicide...

I got to get one of those crystal balls where did you get yours...you must of got the one that paints the left in rosy colors...

I agree cold feet by some NATO countries and NATO it self. Don't fool yourself if you think elections are going to influence putin's plans...Putin will remain in power as long as he produces a victory, if he does not he will be taken for a walk in the woods, and put down...then the next guy will take over, wash, rinse , then repeat over and over again...

Yes it is...a misprint Russia has taken more ground than a few meters, if you look from the time we had this convo, until now there are KM's of russian ground taken...if you look a the Kursk region they have taken back kms of land. Look at a map it's all there in black and white....i don't like it more than you do, but Russia is advancing, regardless of the cost...and on the ukrainian side it has a cost as well...both sides are low on every resource...men, equipment and ammo...and despite all of this Russia is continuing to throw men and equipment away like it was made of paper...just for those few meters.. as you call it...

NO ONE is starving in GAZA, they may be hungry but starving i don't think so...food is literally falling from the sky... It is a weapon, and it is part of warfare...it might be repulsive to you...but lets think about this for a second...lets go back to Somalia when most of the country was days away from death due to starvation, what did the globe do for them...it did the bare minimum, and if it was not for NGO and those TV commercials begging for money this would have been a crises of all crises... so don't cry the Palestinians are starving becasue it is false news... No it is not my kind of mission....Terrorist don't have rules to follow, Soldiers have books upon books of rules of what it can do and what it can't do....it is a one sided war, despite of the advantage soldiers have in numbers and equipment...it is not enough One could fill a book at all the failed mission with this profile... Geneva convention says, all reasonable measures have to be taken to reduce civilian casualties...key words here are "reasonable" and "reduce"... if they want to stay it is at their own peril, what you fail to grasp is war is not fought in a sterile environment...where being a civilian gives you a red cape, that is bullet proof...War is not like that... most people that decide to stay are not going to be running around the battlefield....those that are well, they are going to be exposed to fires from small arms to aircraft bombs...it does not make them a target, but when the bad guys wear no uniform or markings it makes it even more difficult to tell who is who and accident do happen......Murphy law rules in this situation... Civilians pay the highest price in ALL conflicts...no way to change that, it has been this way since the first man clubbed another...now empting the area, sounds like a reasonable thing to do, when compared to just dropping bombs on top of everyone...

Putin has already said it will not be giving back those territories it has seized...it has cost to much, ukraine lacks the resources to take it back....meaning that statement is not on the table for discussion.... Ukraine has said no talks unless all of ukraine is handed back to Ukraine..... Both sides recently has said they would like to talks to begin...no doubt , i mean both sides are exhausted, low on equipment, ammo, resources like funding etc...what those talks or demand s look like today no one has said... Russia will never be part of NATO...i'm not even sure that is a request of putins, this is the first i'm hearing of it...

One would think that would be NATO's first priority, to ensure Russia is incapable of further aggression...NATO slow rolling support is doing just that, it allows or gives ukraine the means to slow russian gains into ukraine at a huge cost to Russia...Now if NATO had to keep it's promise ukraine would have the equipment means to throw Russia out , they have already proven they are capable of fighting, The question remains why have they not done so? Putin already has a price on his head, he knows if he does not hand russia so sort of victory he will be replaced by force...taken out back for a walk in the snow...

I'm not mocking you...i asked if you had read the article , yes it is a year old but it's main story line is still relevant today...many of their points have been brought up by Nationalist...does that make the author a russian cheer leader...

Gaza is under Hamas care and control, there was o Israelis military or civilian people in there prior to Oct 7...Israelis are not or were not allowed in to Gaza...however Israelis did allow workers to work inside of Israel.... West bank is under Israelis military control, it is occupied...hence why has free reign over the entire area....Becasue there are no borders, Palestinians still require permission to travel into Israel or they stay in the west bank...not sure why that is so hard to understand...

1.....Careful now, moonbeam and DUI are not going to like that comment, they believe that NATO does is not worried about Russia fake threats....but can't explain why NATO is slow rolling the resupply...I agree with your statement it is the only plausible reason why NATO is not stepping up and keeping it's "promise" to provide 14 brigades worth of equipment todate they have supplied only 4...thats where this situation is NATO fault by making promises it can't keep, that and NATO membership... 2....If putin does not bring victory to the russian people he will be taken for a short walk out in the woods...So there is no losing for him Russia has lost to much already to just move out of Ukraine, the only answer is to throw them out.

Tell me which nations support Israel other than US and the UK.... BS the west is always involved in one or more wars or conflicts forever....., you just have not been paying attention...

NATo has made promises it can not keep to ukraine, first was it promised to provide military supplies and military equipment to change the tide of this conflict....Europe does not want Russia on it's borders this is a european threat ...NATO answer the call....So stop with this is not NATO fault and it has no obligations here, it has evven promised entrance to NATO....i mean come on... So your going to sit there and tell me you hope peace will continue and massive defensive pacts like NATO, 5 eyes, etc are not to deter Russian aggression....along with on the pacific front as well with China...the US is the worlds policemen, and when it calls for NATO is also involved in keeping the worlds peace...Not hope or prayers...NATO and all that it brings to the table...I will tell you this if Russia or china , or any other nation with Nuclear weapons launch, OUR last days on the planet will be that day with the lucky ones dying in the blast the rest for radiation poisoning 7 to 14 days later... your hoping or praying is not going to change that... If NATO fully supported Ukraine with giving them the supplies and equipment they needed Russia would not stand a chance...Ukraine has already shown the world what it is capable of with what little NATO does supply....I will eat crow all day if you can prove me wrong....this rests clearly in NATO's lap...they have the power to change this conflict, or we let Ukraine die from a thousands cuts...

once again open up your eyes, Russia has taken back more than a few meters, Ukraines manpower situation is critical, moral is lower than dog shit troops are exhausted....desertions are at an all time high 15,000 or more....Kurst pocket is shrinking...and both leaders have expressed an interest in meeting....Have you or have you not been following this conflict... Let us all know why NATO has not cleaned out the closet to rearm Ukraine....why are they slow rolling their support....Can't supply them with enough arty shells or other ammo, can't give them any more tanks or IFV, can't even give them the old stuff....How many used and old F-16 does NATO have plenty ...how many old french mirages does france have, plenty ....If for one second you think NATO is doing everything in it's power to support Ukraine , then NATO is in very bad shape...Why would they not just change the tide of this conflict by giving Ukraine what they need to throw Russia out....ya i know you don't have an answer to thoise questions...

did you read it, glean any information from it, see any of nationalist statements in there....i did...but those guys must be russian cheerleaders right....

Please spare me the tears....they are going to grow up to be terrorist, thats what they learn from day one in school and at home....But some how thats the Israelis fault.... Give me a break, have you been to Gaza ? or did you read that on the intra net...Home land where , what was it called... And do you cross into the states without a passport, or permission.... You think this is the first time peace keepers have come under fire...I've done a peace keeping mission before never again, they are a useless organization that a regular street cop do better than a bunch of soldiers....someone in the UN HQ's made that call to remain in place and observe, UN sucks at peace keeping period........What do you think happens in a war zone anyway.... They, the zionist have already lost most of their support in europe and around the world...with only a very few nations that agree to assist them....even Canada has given them the finger....so do you really think they care about what happens in europe....Like i said before they are doing the globe a great favor in getting rid these terrorist groups....we should be thanking them...

Tell that to them, did not belong to the palestinians either...but to the ottoman empire....which no longer existed...

No what you said was the new conservative mantra is.....I'm saying, not all conservatives believe in that crap....I'm also saying I have not heard anything on this line of thinking from PP, he is the one that sets the tone for conservatives not the fringe elements or media... I never said she was a product of DEI, she certainly fits the DEI profile tho...that profile was created by the liberal leaning governments. . i did however say what is below.... Does not matter, if she did it, or one of her crew did it... in the military the senior rank in charge will pay a price for this entire accident....being in command works both ways you get all the praise, and all the sh1t , media can say whatever it wants to, no one really has control what they print....however she will face a military investigation and face the consequences if any...

Did you pull this out of your rectum....The land they have now was given to them by league of nations mandate, and what was collected in time of war...And Canadians should be the last people to bring up land that does not belong to them.... Israel has very little support in western europe right now...or for that matter around the globe....including Canada with it's liberal government..The fact they are engaged with the two largest terrorist groups on the globe, is telling they are making the world a safer place and your saying they should be reined in becasue what ? you like terrorist, you don't like how conflicts are fought...

Can you really paint all conservatives for the opinion of one man....do we hold you responsible for everything Justin/ Jamet does... Had to do some reaching back for that one, i guess, we should fire every white male with any reasonability....DEI has not produced any meaningful results...except widen the gap and spread the hate even more...The best qualified man or women should het the job period and DEI just sucks.......That being said your right it could have happen to anyone and her being part of the LGBTQ community has nothing to do with it...

More lies..... Most Canadians don't care about NATO, and it shows in the results, NATO does not rely on Canada for anything, what do we have to offer NATO at this point....Original member do you think today that fact means anything to the other members of NATO...after failing to meet agreed and signed on to policies to meet the 2 % mark....then finally After agreeing to spend more in the future, which according to the polls is a liberal dream they won't be be in power after 2025..... under this liberal government military budget is being reduced until 2025.... ya go figure... Canada does not care about the best interests of the west, or it would be taking those agreements to heart...
