Re: The Ukraine Crisis
Notice that SeattleGriz says nothing about the leak's damning assessment of Russian capabilities or how compromised it's operation is by US infiltration. Guess that doesn't fit the narrative you've been selling yourself on since day one.

I'm old enough to remember when I mentioned Ukraine's limited air defense and was told I was wrong.The latest documents were found on Twitter and other sites Friday, a day after senior Biden administration officials said they were investigating a potential leak of classified Ukrainian war plans, include an alarming assessment of Ukraine’s faltering air defense capabilities. One slide, dated Feb. 23, is labeled “Secret/NoForn,” meaning it was not meant to be shared with foreign countries.![]()

Well, he did have a grand jury for Andrew McCabe for two years and couldn't get an indictment.
Y'all are always saying that a grand jury indictment doesn't mean anything because they will indict a ham sandwich. If that's the case - not being able to return an indictment against McCabe is a pretty significant faceplant. No?

Re: The Ukraine Crisis
On the surface it should be, but you have to take into account where the grand jury was convened. Look at Sussman. Guy charged Hillary for dossier related supplies and while it was a different jury they found him not guilty.

Re: The Ukraine Crisis
Now that the leak has been out a little while, I'm starting to read two reasons for why they were exposed. The first is the "deep state" knows Joe Biden and the State Department are ignoring the Ukraine problem and this will hopefully put more pressure on him to end support. Think of all the little leaks damaging to Joe over the last year. This last one is just an escalation of that process.
Secondly, it's an opportunity for tighter monitoring of private forums. An expansion of the Patriot Act. "Trust us, we'd never spy on you".
Lastly, also reading the big reason many feel this is some sort of planned leak is that the kid at the center could not have access to all the different types of Intel, in addition to how the NYT beat the FBI in identifying the kid.

Re: The Ukraine Crisis
It's only a stalemate because Russia is fine with lobbing their artillery at Ukraine from a distance they cannot respond with. It's what was pointed out very early.

Ukraine is severely undermanned and now without decent equipment. All stuff I've been pointing out. Putin has been demilitarizing and denazifying just like he said.
This war has gone horribly for the neocons and the leak was a good way to end support faster...and possibly show how horribly the State department has handled this.

Same thing that brought down the Soviet Union. It won't be cheap but there is no way they can keep up, and as we all remember from 9/11: better to fight them there so we don't have to fight them here. Already they have resort to prisons for soldiers, they're suffering a huge brain-drain over the draft they've instated because nobody wants to fight Putin's War especially when you may have in-laws and cousins on the other side. Their military has been exposed most embarassingly and they're going to lose trillions in weapons sales behind the shoddy performance of their equipment just when they most need the sales to help prosecute their invasion of Ukraine.

Good question, but everyone knows that is next. The people who kept saying that Russia was incompetent or that Ukraine was winning can thank themselves for getting duped and advocating this war to the point it is now. Had they simply said, "negotiate" in the beginning, it would look very different with countless Ukrainians still alive.

This is a fight that's been coming for a couple of decades now.

Da, comrade BD, the Master Strategist's plan is succeeding beyond ze wildest dreams...You must not have read the latest assessment of Wagner. All of a sudden they aren't staffed with prisoners, but the most highly trained veterans. Better than Blackwater mercenaries. An amazing turn around, unless that too was misinformation. You've been duped as well.

Bullshit. "..the most highly trained veterans.." from where?
Better than the Blackwater guys? Interesting. I bet you dished out some pain to some of them.... who did you say these guys that are better than they are?
Pro Tip: Mercenaries aren't interested in dying for a cause, they want their money.

Ukrainians on the other hand will fight until the end defending their homes and families - and they know what happens if they get captured so that ain't happening.

Hell, NATO and the US are out of some basic supplies as Russia kept its industrial base intact and can manufacture at the rate it is expending. The US and NATO? Not so much, or Ukraine wouldn't be out of ammo.
Russia air defense (S400 and S500) is one of the best systems out there. Foreign aircraft would get shot down readily...kinda low key how Ukraine doesn't have any airpower left. Remember when you said I was crazy saying that months ago?
So wrong, so much. When are you going to take your lips off Bidens ass?
