Ballsy review of the types of cars in the Duma car park, calling out the hypocrisy of the political class.

“So, neither side at this point in time have achieved their political objectives through military means," Milley said, "and the war will continue until one side or the other has achieved those means, or both sides have determined it’s time to go to a negotiating table [because] they can’t achieve their objectives through military means.”

Sobering summary of the counteroffensive from Radio Free Europe.
“Ukraine’s current counteroffensive will not throw Russia out – not that anyone expected it to. Nor is it likely to cut the occupation in half before the winter, which might have been one of the more optimistic aims,” Richard Barrons, a former British Army general and former commander of Britain’s Joint Forces Command, wrote in a Financial Times
“It has, however, shown how the Russian Army can be beaten. Not in 2023, but in 2024 or 2025. Thus, the refrain among Western allies of supporting Kyiv ‘for as long as it takes.’”
Lol “All from the money coming out of the budget that comes out of the pockets of taxpayers so they can buy more d*ck carriers for themselves.” The guy has a way with words.
That’s OK. We aren’t buying them from RUS
Or using them against UKR
More pointing out the scale. One of our largest army procurement programs this decade is the equivalent of a single day of losses for Russia.
