Did you mention that Russia initiated an unprovoked invasion; killed 10's of thousand (if not more) civilians; many shot in the head with their hands tied behind the back; kidnapped 10s of thousand children, bombed schools, hospitals, museum and other civilian targets, .... i mean really your friend is an ass.I have seen the same thing. One implied to me that Ukraine shouldn't be attacking Moscow and Ukraine should be asking the US for permission for any attack into Russia.
He also implied that the US Congress should be the one granting permission to Ukraine for attacking Russia. When I pointed out that Ukraine is free to use any weapons it develops and produces itself as it sees fit, he was not happy with me.

Bluesky just hit 10mil users and within the last week added support for videos. So its still a minnow in the social media world. But they have some awesome people on their team, so I remain bullish that they will slowly succeed in their mission.
I suspect he is waiting to see who wins the election; though he is ignoring that Europe might pick up the gap if Trump wins.Budanov is right that they will probably have to do another mobilization in the summer next year if the recruiting figures that leak out are accurate. Another major problem is that is around the same time many of the equipment depots will be truly dry leading to massive shortages in vehicles and armaments for the army. Putin is going to want to wrap this up next year either through negotiation or if Trump wins taking what he wants.
Guess Russia will be spending more money they don't have on Iranian weapons; of course wouldn't it be nice if Ukraine could sink the ship as it docks.... Think what would have happened if America lost 200,000 soldiers the first 3 years of vietnam war. The Russians lost are just staggering demonstration of utter ineptness. I guess this is what happens when you promote your friends son as a commanders....
Up to 30000 tonnes of various types of ammo. Several close villages have been wiped apparently.Did that depot store nukes? That's a big explosion. It reminds me of the Beirut blast.
While it’s definitely a huge amount it should be noted that that weight is the entirety of the shell/missile. It’s way smaller than a nuclear explosion or the Beirut one, but it’s still fucking gigantic.Up to 30000 tonnes of various types of ammo. Several close villages have been wiped apparently.
There is commentary that this was one of the depots servicing the forces in Kursk.

Speaking of ammonium nitrate, a Russian ship recently got into difficulty carrying nearly 10x as much as what exploded in Beirut...While it’s definitely a huge amount it should be noted that that weight is the entirety of the shell/missile.

Makes for scary scenarios with such ships around... imagine one with a false manifest heading to an major American port.
See Texas City, 1947Speaking of ammonium nitrate, a Russian ship recently got into difficulty carrying nearly 10x as much as what exploded in Beirut...
Cargo of ammonium nitrate got port of refuge next to University Hospital of North Norway
The vessel came from Russia’s northern port of Kandalaksha and carries 20,000 tons of the hazardous material ammonium nitrate known from many explosions in the past, including the disastrous 2020-Beirut blast.thebarentsobserver.com
Makes for scary scenarios with such ships around... imagine one with a false manifest heading to an major American port.
The Beruit explosion was 2.75kt of ammonium nitrate equalling about 1.5kt of TNT.
That blast looked like one storage going off but what it contained is hard to tell besides not being missile propellent. No single storage likely to contain more than a few hundred tons each.
