Russia & Ukraine

We shall see. I don't diminish the threat from the Russians and the possibility of their developing a better response to the HIMARS, but they have lied through their arses announcing that they have taken out X number of HIMARS so many times that my eyes glaze over. The Ukrainians say they have taken out ZERO. I don't know if zero is right but I am pretty sure anything the Russian say is not right. The Russians say they have lost, what, about 3,000 troops or so, yeh, okay. So if the Russians announce that they have taken out 50 himars in the next week, that comes out to about one when you run it through the conversion table.

This dildo Macron has been running around back and forth from France to Russia for months to service Putin hoping that he will get the Nobel Prize or something.
Meanwhile, France has almost no skin in the game. Their contribution is pretty much whatever NATO contributes- with a few boxes of Cheerios thrown in for "humanitarian relief" and a few dozen rifles or something.
I am getting sick of seeing his sorry arse standing up and articulating what Putin needs to see. And obviously the Ukrainians are too.
What an affront to the Ukrainians and the Europeans in general to keep arguing that Russia needs "security guarantees." Just total bullshit. Maybe, just maybe, the country/countries being invaded are the ones needing "security guarantees."
Go back to France, Dildo. Shut your hole, and have the French paratroopers airdrop some croissants to the troops or something that actually helps and is within their capability. Who the hell appointed him to be Enabler in Chief for Putin. Don't the Ukrainians have some say in who is dealing with Putin or not?
Macron blasted for saying Moscow needs 'security guarantees' to end the war
Ukrainian presidential advisor Mykhailo Podolyak did not mince words, reacting on Twitter on Sunday by pondering whether "the civilised world needs 'security guarantees' from barbaric intentions of post-Putin Russia".

Let's take a look at what else does not work in the cold.
Russia stopped using Iran suicide drones due to cold weather: Ukraine

- Russia has stopped using Iranian-made suicide drones due to cold weather, a Ukrainian official said.
- He said that the drones were made of plastic and other materials that can't deal with frost.
- Russia has used the unmanned aircraft to knock out power infrastructure across Ukraine.
Yevgeny Silkin, of the Joint Forces Command for Strategic Communications of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, said that Russia had stopped using the Iranian drones, which are made of plastic and other materials that are not frost resistant, according to Ukrainian news agency UNIAN.
The outlet said that the drones have not been used in Ukraine since November 17, which was also the first day that it snowed in Ukraine this year.
Winters in Ukraine can be cold, with mean temperatures often below freezing between December and March.
Russia started to use the Iranian drones in October, as part of a new playbook that targeted power distribution and other critical infrastructure from afar. Ukrainian civilians have also been killed by drone strikes.
Iran and Russia have denied any cooperation on weapons, but Iran later admitted that it had sent Russia weapons, adding that this was before Russia's invasion of Ukraine started.
Multiple reports and Western intelligence assessments have contradicted this.
The UK, US, and EU have put sanctions on the drone manufacturer and some individuals over supplying the weaponry to Russia.
CNN reported in November that Iran was preparing to send more weapons to Ukraine, including short range ballistic missiles. And it reported that Iran and Russia had reached an agreement for Russia to start producing the drones itself.
The UK's ministry of defense said on November 23 that Russia was likely running out of the drones, but that it could purchase more.
Multiple reports have also said that Iran has been training Russia on how to use the drones and other weapons.
On December 3rd, Avril Haines, the US National Intelligence Director, said that winter conditions are expected to slow the war, and that there was already a "reduced tempo."
Whoa, what do we have going here?
This is not that far from Moscow. Looks like maybe 150 miles or so on the map. The one at Ryazan anyway.

If they use nuclear they will lose all support from China.
