Criticism of Ukraine's "counter offensive" is reaching critical mass...

Thanks to Duke for the link!

Geez. This is reaching critical mass. I wonder how long before the White House, DoD and NATO declare the offensive a failure and signal that the Ukrainians should reinforce their lines? If Poland is saying this then things aren't bad. They're horrible.

Apparently my view of the Ukrainian Counter Offensive is becoming "common knowledge"

Hmm. I talked about the counter offensive failing and all I heard was..."its just starting"..."they haven't committed their best units"..."starve, starve, starve, FEAST". Well like the title says my view is becoming mainstream. Curious how that happens when you look at things as they are, not as you want them to be huh?

Boldest Commandant? Dude has wrecked the very culture of the Marine Corps and they act like he's the second coming. Making me want to throw up. Fuck him.

China's KD-20 ALCM appears to be operational

* Supposedly extremely long ranged in the 1500 to 2000 km class. One Chinese Air Force bomber regiment would eviscerate the Stand In Force. All they could do is die loudly and proudly for the US.  ADA is being added but it lacks range and magazine capacity to prevent hits in a mass attack.  We're guaranteeing the Chinese draw first blood.

The Ukrainians are burning thru artillery shells at a horrific rate...

“We’re shooting 200-250 rounds per day”

We are down to two choices. Either we supply Ukraine with the understanding that our industry will struggle to meet their needs OR we take care of our own forces. 

It's just that simple. 

I vote we take care of our own.

An empire must be willing to trade space for time.  It must choose the survival of the empire over that of its protectorates.

The American empire must come first.
