  • The US is imposing the same sort of ridiculous rules of war that were imposed on US forces in the Vietnam war; Don't hit Haiphong for fear of hitting Russian or Chinese ships. Don't fly too near the Viet/Chines border. What Bo!!ock$. If you're going to wage war, make it all out, no limitations, otherwise give up now. Ridiculous.
  • @Vokdor1
    There should be no restrictions on how Ukraine defends itself, they are not the aggressor
  • Please when stating who is supplying weapons to Ukraine. Just state weapons are being supplied from NATO allies. It’s not just the USA and GB. It’s many countries helping Ukraine.
  • It is so idiotic to put these restrictions on the Ukrainians. Russia is the aggressor, and you often need to defend yourself by hitting the aggressor on his ground. These restrictions are meaningless nonsens.

    The Kerch Bridge is going down. Taking bets on which month it gets demolished.
  • @renatob9909
    I think it is so absurd all these restrictions on Ukraine. I mean this is war, it is normal to hit your anamy at their territory
  • @rockerteen8300
    This is such an obvious move, if you take out train engines they can't use them. I was wondering why they weren't doing that months ago.

    I thought Putin was following a scorched earth policy but I was informed that Russia has always looked that way, or at least those parts oligarchs and western elites don’t see.

    The US Congress just passed the law of a $60 Bn aid package to Ukraine that has a provision of providing ATACMS to Ukraine, but it Did Not say or specify where and which targets those long-range missiles can fire at. So, President Zelensky can give orders to his Generals to fire anywhere he deems necessary to defend his country including military targets deep inside Russia such as weapon depots, airfields, weapons manufactory, energy production facilities, air defense infrastructures, command control centers, troops concentration, etc. In other words, the Ukrainian Armed Forces can use ATACMS for any purpose to defend their country as they deem necessary. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin inferred in his press conference, no restrictions on the use of ATACMS since the law provides no 'Restrictions" on the use of those missiles.

    That is awful state of affairs... With nato state s putting ridiculous restrictions on weapons use by Ukraine on attacks against Russia in Russia, what kind of nonsense is.... Here to day gone tomorrow politician. How have zero understanding of defense
  • @TonyM540
    It’s really nice of western countries to announce publicly what weapons they are going to supply and when Ukraine can expect delivery.

    How many times is he going to be on rehashing things?
  • @ghostlightx9005
    Good idea. Pretty hard to defend thousands of miles of railway. And tons of it passes through very nasty climate and terrain, making repairs very problematic.
  • @soton5teve
    Do the trans-siberian railway use a derail-er spraypainted and camouflage it, pick it up just after you watch it work 😉 repeat. Or make a derail-er that is one use, so the russians can't re-use it

    Give air component to Ukraine and see difference on the frontline
