Ukraine invasion

[Atilla]

Information wars reveal depth of propaganda run by the West imo.

US army finding it difficult to recruit soldiers. Same as the British army. Not exactly splashed across MSM or the BBC.

New generation of people out there young and old who are averse to these kinds of lies to attack other nations. Dying in some foreign land killing innocent civilians and being attacked by ill equipped foot soldiers just don't have the same appeal to earning medals which mean FA.

Future wars look like they will be fought with androids and chemical weapons. Technology will be at the forefront.

Instead of national armies, there are more likely to be business enterprises such Blackwater and Wagner group amongst others to fight and kill for money.

That is the truth.

US Warlords looking to find markets for their wares. Be interesting to see what shit they come up with after Ukraine???

- Russian forces continue taking territory around the fortified cities of Avdeevka and Bakhmut;
- Russian forces now control much of the west bank of the Bakhmutka River;
- A Ukrainian missile fired deep into Crimea (and intercepted by Russian air defenses) may have been a Ukrainian Grom-2, comparable to the Iskander missile with a range of 500km;
- Despite the capabilities of the Grom-2 and potential NATO assistance to produce them (most likely in Poland) it is unlikely these missiles will appear in numbers large enough to overwhelm Russian air defenses;
- NYT admits Ukrainian air defenses are deteriorating, allowing Russia to more freely use its military aviation;
- While Western analysts claim this development may not translate into Russian success, arriving at this juncture is already very much a Russian success;
