HIMARS is a very formidable addition to the arsenal, but in general quantities supplied are extremely modest to really turn the tide. Hopefully the deliveries will step up.

They are enough to f*ck up Russian logistics behind the lines. Without a massive supply of shells from the rear to the guns themselves, the Russian artillery is incapable of executing their beloved "bomb everything into pieces" WWI-style doctrine. And the Ukrainians have destroyed an untold number of Russian ammo dumps in the last weeks. Some of the explosions have been truly spectacular. This isn't something you can…

The thing that the west is unwilling to do is give the Ukrainians cruise missiles. The Russians have lots and lots of these in the form of Kalibr and Iskander missiles that they launch from ships and mobile launchers and it seems to be making all the difference.

he's switching jobs, apparently > according to Meduza’s sources, Dmitry Rogozin will become one of the Kremlin’s supervisors for the self-proclaimed Donetsk and Luhansk “people’s republics” and the other Russian-occupied territories in Ukraine https://meduza.io/en/feature/2022/07/13/the-president-likes-...

He's ready to run a fascist state. Here he is being a Nazi. The end should speak enough for those that don't understand Russian: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xkXVVcPWSU8

Where did you find this? Can anyone give me insight as to what was said? This is wild. it is this event(1)?

The whole of Donbass is in range of HIMARS and a high officer for the occupation will definitely be on the shortlist of possible targets. So unless he surrounds himself with human shields most of the time, or moves really stealthily around, Rogozin is in for a rather risky career change.

Why target him though? Incompetent enemy leadership is to be encouraged, and Rogozin is bottom of the pile.

Because unlike regular grunts, the top brass' lives actually matter somewhat even in Russia and with enough VIPs killed, the rest of the Kremlin gang will start to entertain second thoughts about the entire "special military operation".

He doesn't have to expose himself directly, any occupant or even local in russia's puppet government will be a prime suspect to get removed permanently, as symbolic and also practical gesture. He will still need to travel, meet people etc. and no hiding in bunker will be allowed for such a person, that's only reserved for putin. There is already vicious spiral of oppression and resistance happening on those parts of…

FYI: The correct word in English is "occupier" not "occupant". Occupant is usually used when referring to someone who lives somewhere, such as one who occupies an apartment he lives in.

At least he didn’t use “Orc”, like they are thought in their propaganda schools for domestic audience. Ukrainian propaganda needs to become subtler if they wish any success here in the USA.

I find it rather worrying in the long term. Russia has been an extremely inefficient and corrupt state for the past 2 decades. Export oil & gas, import everything else, let the cronies pocket the proceeds, while having most manufacturing, defense and tech exist mostly on paper. People like Rogozin were promoted based on the loyalty and willingness to give a cut of the pie further up the ladder. Currently this trend a…

> If Russia is pushed back into its borders, it will take a couple of years to ramp up weapons production and will retry Or the current regime will collapse. That often happens with large scale defeats, especially without a democratic outlet for internal change within the system.

I saw very few regime collapses unless an army steps into the capital. That's not going to happen to Russia (Mutual Assured Destruction.)

The worst it will happen to Putin is that he'll be locked in into Russia and have to kill more and more Russian people.

You mean, how Russia technically controls 20-25% of Ukraine's territory ? Do you see what those sanctions against Russian cheap energy are doing in Europe: - Estonia Goverment fell - Bulgaria Goverment fell - UK Goverment fell - Italy's PM resigned It's not even August. Do you know what will happen when colder months hit ? :)

"UK Goverment fell" - it didn't, only the PM did. Johnson appointed a sexual predator to be the Chief Whip of the Tory faction in the Parliament and it was one mistake too many. It has nothing to do with sanctions against Russia. The government will continue under a new PM. "Bulgaria Goverment fell" - Bulgaria has had by now four(?) early elections in a row, which predate the war in Ukraine. The Bulgarian political s…

Italian and Bulgarian government collapses are connected to the Russian influence in the government coalition partners.

Yeah, he was heading actual Nazi parades. There are enough videos on YouTube with him at the rallies wearing a leather jacket with saluting neo-Nazis around. He also uses N-words and F-words freely. He first gained notoriety at 2003 parliament elections leading a pro-Putin ultranationalist party Rodina. One of Rodina’s TV ads were comparing Caucausus people to street trash. People say though that Rogozin is not a big…

>> N-words and F-words freely. What are the F words? Fascist?

What difference? They hit random civilian targets far behind the frontline.

This makes people angry, but does not significantly contribute to attrition of the Ukrainian military.

The recent cruise missile hits in Ukrainian cities haven't helped the Russians acquire even a square inch of new territory.

Thank you. So there is some connection. But I would still claim that in case of Italy, a quick change in government is not an unusual phenomenon. Italian governments come and go so fast that most people outside Italy have trouble remembering the current PM's name.

Well west is unwilling to supply modern tanks so Cruise missles look to be def. of the table. Ukraine is even short on basic armored personnel carriers and even regular consumer trucks widely used by military (mostly supplied by volunteers).
