Striking Russia remains the only effective option.
Keep striking Russia, and keep increasing Ukraine's capacity to do so!

Ukrainian drone strikes push up Russian petrol prices

Moscow has banned exports following drone strikes on oil refineries

They need to get to 20, at least, stockpile for a week, send 100+ and 200 drones, saturate airspace and maybe even get some civilian landmark down, like the Balsoi theater or something in the Red Square

All I saw was a white flag.

In this instance, Trump could easily fill the role of Mussolini while Putin is Hitler from the 1930's-40's. I wonder if both modern fascist caricatures will share the same fate as their authoritarian predecessors someday.

Even after watching Trump perpetrate the many crimes he's committed over these many years and actually getting away with them, I'm still amazed that Trump can pull off such a brazen show of servitude to Putin and realize he hasn't lost a single vote from his MAGAt loyalists over this blatant act of treachery. He's done this to the very nation his swore to defend against all foreign threats with Putin being among, if not THE worst threat to our democracy and yet his MAGAt base somehow, by the power of ignorance, sheer stupidity and blind allegiance thinks he is the greatest POTUS of all time.

So again I say W.....T.....F.

Well it was not in one all go, people have been swayed and radicalized by the propaganda over the years.

No, it's a totally different weapon. This ERAM is a low-cost cruise missile they are making in Europe and US. Not RIM-174.
I'm not even sure if there is a US designation at all because this ERAM was designed for specifically for Ukraine. And I don't think US forces ever planned to adopt it.

Yeah RIM-174s look nothing like that. This is an air breathing critter with wings, not a two stage missile.

Not familiar with it but it sounds like a low cost cruise missile developed specifically for Ukraine, a la Phoenix Ghost. I like what I'm seeing. It can (officially) reach out to 463km, doing at least 762km/h. No idea about the warhead, but apparently they are compatible with Quicksink seekers. In conclusion, fuck yeah.

Ukrainian FP-1. Cheaper than Shahed, produced as quickly. Maybe quicker. They use a lot of wood, which is low reflectivity like carbon fiber but at a fraction of the cost:laughing:

These puppies have an official range of 1,600km, payload "up to 120kg." Roughly 100 are being made every day.

Yeah, more of this please.



"Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, whose government is widely seen as the most Kremlin-friendly in the European bloc, has repeatedly obstructed Ukraine’s EU path.

In a letter sent to EU capitals last week ahead of an informal meeting of foreign ministers in Copenhagen on Sept. 1 and 2, Lithuania urges the bloc to take concrete steps to make Ukraine’s accession bid "tangible and irreversible."

Vilnius reportedly proposes launching technical-level accession talks with Ukraine and Moldova without Hungary, provided the other 26 member states agree."


Quit accommodating rat bastards, you've got a continent to defend.

Putin doesn't negotiate, he only stalls. There is nothing to be gained with negotiating with a fascist who doesn't honor agreements. Nothing brokered by Trump will be possible either. He doesn't have any credibility on the world stage, not after years of sucking Putin's dick, not after breaking the Iran deal.

Ukraine only benefits diplomatically by showing it isn't the party holding up ceasefire talk. In order for the war to end the Russian military must be completely and utterly defeated, or Putin needs to take a well deserved dirt nap. Preferably both.
