Ukraine........from Rico

It's been a couple years since "we'll win in two weeks" vis the Ukraine debacle, and the UKR has now 'lost' two thirds (20 of 31) of its US-supplied Abrams M1 tanks in the last six months [the German Leopard2, British Challenger2 haven't fared any better].

Quality over quantity can 'work' in small-scale battles and wars, but NOT in a real war of attrition where industrial capacity, numbers, public support, and leadership matter.
- Clown World is sorely lacking in ALL of these respects and hasn't yet learned that throwing money at the enemy doesn't work in the slightest.

two thirds of the abrams tanks? where the hell are you getting you data from? they've lost 3. total. just 3. the rest are running just fine.

moscow claims to have destroyed 39 of the 13 HIMARS we've sent. they've also claimed to have shot down the entire Ukrainian air force 8 times over. then they claim to have shot down 4 F-16s weeks before the F-16 even arrived.

and the only one who said "two weeks" was moscow. they figured 3 days to kyev, 2 weeks to mop up the rest of the country.

how's that working out? I hear there will be referendum in Kursk to see if they want to be an independent state or become a ukrainian oblast. and the vote will be moderated by the UN and the red cross. unlike the donbass and luhansk votes which were moderated by kalishnikov
