If this is real, it's a major hit for us. This radar costs $1.1 Billion.

My brother-in-law's kid was a Nuke. It helps to be really smart.
I think there are a lot of people who overpaid at high interest rates and are finding that they just can't afford the house.
We would like to move, but it just doesn't make financial sense to do so.

Living in NWA, home prices have risen dramatically with the area's growth. Our house has over doubled in price in 18 years. It's crazy.
If they can figure out a way to supply them with power and water without negatively impacting the local infrastructure/ecosystem, then I am ok with them. But not if they suck all the water out of the ground or quadruple my energy bill.

Yea, I know they are tankers....what are they dragging?
Yeah, I saw that, but discounted it due to the lack of equipment and logistics infrastructure to sustain any major troop build-ups.

If the shutdown of Telegram was a preparatory step for a forced mobilization, as some say, then they still have to get those troops into uniform, equipped, and a couple of weeks of training (if they are lucky), then ship them to the front and feed them into the meat grinder.

Can they do that under the watchful eyes without getting wiped out before they ever arrive at the front?

Syria, Armenia, Venezuela, Iran, and soon to be Cuba. Russia is losing all of its satellites. Is Belarus the last remaining?

Putin is a master strategist

On a high point, today probably represents the high point of the amount of Ukraine Russia controls. There is a very high possibility that it is only backwards from here for Russia.
I agree with your sentiment, I will add that a family member who is in the 5th Marines told us this week they were given orders to be ready to go by Friday.
The whole video is interesting as it discusses the current state of Russia's tank stockpiles. This link points to the 6:06 mark, where a table showing the stockpile size by year is shown. Russia is out of modern tanks.



The modern tanks in their inventory are the T-72s, T-80's, and the T-90. They had a total of 4,002 in storage at the start of the war. They now have 705, and most of them are older T-72s.

Russia has used up 82.3% of its modern tank reserves. They aren't going to be picking fights with anyone for a long time.

Was the juice worth the squeeze?
More riveting commentary from All Hat No Cattle

The US prevented peace when it went to war after Japan attacked Pearl Harbor. That's how absurd your statement is

With the exception of All Hat and No Cattle, I don’t recall anyone recently saying that, maybe I missed it.
Quoted the whole post since many won't click through to it.

Russia is anticipating it taking 2 more years to capture the entire Donbas region AFTER they have a forced mobilization. How long would it take without the forced mobilization?

BIG NEWS | The reason why Putin restricted Russians' access to Telegram has become known (and it will be completely shut down from April 1)
—- Russian military bloggers and Telegram channels are spreading information that due to critical needs on the Ukrainian fronts, Putin is preparing to announce a large military mobilization - a forced conscription. Therefore, he wants to avoid public dissatisfaction and possible protests as much as possible, which could be coordinated precisely through the TELEGRAM platform.

Against this background, an interesting article was published today in the NEW York Times — Kremlin officials told the publication that Putin is ready to fight for up to 2 more years because the Russian dictator is confident in his success and is prepared to continue the war for another 2 years to gain full control over the Donetsk region.

?? Given that the Russians are already spending more annual manpower on the Ukrainian fronts due to catastrophic losses than the monthly or yearly number of voluntary contracts, it is logical and probably the Kremlin's only solution to continue the war for another 2 years and, in their view, to occupy Donbas, is precisely to increase the flow of soldiers through mobilization and to fully staff the thinned-out units or brigades with live forces.
The innovations in Battle Management Systems are almost as important as the Drone evolution.

AI driven battle management systems ingesting a variety of data feeds (Drones, EW systems, Satellite, Radar, etc...) can paint a very clear real time view of the battlefield.

This allows the AI to identify and prioritize targets and assign available resources while minimizing the cost of the ordinance. If a target only needs a 155mm freedom seed, there isn't a need to send a HIMARS.

So if this is a thing now, Arkansas will have WalMart logo's on their jerseys before long.
Thanks for sharing, that was a great overview of the state of the war.
But, but, but the Donbas is collapsing!?!?!?!?
Given the revelations around Russian exaggerations amplified by Rybar, what are your thoughts on the validity of his maps?
