War

The Moldovan army has around 3,500 members, I don't know about their reserves and Russia has 1,500 troops in Transnistria plus separatists. The troops must be nervous and the separatists are wondering if it might not be better to join the EU? The EU is stepping up military aid, so that will mean Javelins, NLAWs and more defense financing.

If this is true, the Ukrainians should be able to crack the Russian army wide open with a few good blows and once they are running, they won't stop.

More than American intelligence is involved here, the Europeans have formidable intelligence agencies too and the UK is legendary. Don't count Ukraine out either, they were trained by the west along with the army, have been at war with the fuckers for 8 years and control the cellphone network.

An an example, the Dutch had control of the webcams on the computers of the Russian IRA in St Petersburg during the attack on the US election in 2015 and watched it unfold while recording the video and sound.

This is some great armament landing in the hands of Ukrainian Fighters …. Glory to Ukraine !

( listen for explosions … )


It's them big guns the allies are delivering and have apparently delivered that will make the biggest difference along with the radars and drones to kill the Russian artillery. They all use standard 155mm NATO ammo, just the charge is bigger and the barrel longer on the long range stuff. Canada gave them a bunch of precision Excalibur ammo to go with our guns, dunno about Sammy, but some of them artillery strikes seem mighty accurate. Close to 100K of promised rounds have been delivered, enough to burn out the barrels of the 90 some American guns, but can be used with other weapons like the German and French long range shit they are getting too.

It will be an interesting couple of weeks coming up from a military history perspective, modern NATO weapons against leftover Soviet shit with Ukrainians pulling the triggers. The ground is still wet and everybody is still confined to the roads more or less, but things appear to be dry in same places, the trees and brush is greening up nicely too. The fact the Ukrainians are calling reserves into this fight means they figure it will be a decisive battle and the Russians won't have much left after this. Keep killing them as they try to advance and attack them at vulnerable strategic points, then hammer them on the roads while they relocate if ya can.

U.S. shifts goals on war in Ukraine amid concerns over Russia's nuclear capabilities

During the past few months the Biden administration's rhetoric about its ultimate goals for Ukraine appears to have shifted, with more talk about winning the war against Russia. Evelyn Farkas, executive director of the McCain Institute at Arizona State University, and John Mearsheimer, political science professor at the University of Chicago, join Judy Woodruff to discuss.
