I see on DKos Mattakar is lying again. No one ever said that or anything close to it. Mostly we said the opposite, that it was the bridge that didn;t matter much anymore because the ferries were running.
Dumbass.

Until I started reading DKos comments, I didn't realize that there are some people who are simply wrong. Every time. About everything. Without fail.

There's still maybe a half dozen people who post about a dozen worthwhile comments a day on a good day. And it's always the same half dozen people. The rest are just a waste of time. Or worse.

I had a glance at it and agree. However, even if they kept this format, the number of comments on the RSBU daily threat have dropped by about 1/3rd over the past 90 days and some of the main contributors I used to like to read don't seem to be there often or at all anymore.

But let's please try to keep it real. The armchair generals on DKos are acting EXACTLY like what they accuse the real generals of doing: failing to take everything into account, failing to analyze correctly, and failing to look at all the options and evidence.

However, this is one situation against drunk old men with 50 YO unmaintained junk.
Ukraine has innovated its way to a new form of warfare. They have a bunch to teach the world about drones and the futility of $100M pieces of equipment.

BUT ONLY A BIT!
In the combat situation they currently face against a military that has proven itself to be a piece o' crap repeatedly over the past four years (plus some of the 8 years before that), they have held their own and are now perhaps coming out on top.

Folks on DKos Ukraine daily thread are doing what DKosers do. They are overreacting and failing to analyze.
The current line is that Ukraine is producing the best weaponry in the world and has the No. 1 military in the world and that US weapons and military suck.
Okay, I'm exaggerating a bit.

It's conspiracy theory bullshit that makes us look as head-up-ass stupid as they are.

First of all, hitting power plants and bridges is not a "war crime." It's pretty much standard practice. At that point, the whole mess falls apart.

"Trump is preparing for a coup"

The crazy bullshit that is available on DKos written by people who know jack about the subject never ceases to amaze me. There is literally nothing in this diary that makes a lick o' sense.

I and all my classmates received bayonet training at West Point and we actively beat the living crap out of each other with pugil sticks as part of that training.
It is an experience I will never forget.

A message for Lincoln green and others on DKos.
Bayonets have been used by American soldiers for combat in every war up to and including the Vietnam War. They haven't been used en masse recently, but when an individual soldier needs to "fix bayonets," he/she knows how to do it.

Would someone on DKos be so kind as to tell CharlesII that the Suchomimus photo of the AN-26 is AI generated? The Google Gemini AI watermark is in the lower right-hand corner.
Thank you.

UPDATE (31 Mar):
Contrary to what I wrote in yesterday's article on SubStack (22trucks.substack.com/p/ukraine-en...), with new geolocates of Russian soldiers posted today and video of Ukrainian shelling inside Kupyansk, there are still Russian infiltrators holding out in the center of the town.

advance to answer those leaps. Drones are here to stay, but there will be some answers worked out for them that will establish some balance. It took a couple of decades to answer heavy horse cavalry, but they did. Same with tanks and planes and machine guns and submarines and iron-sided ships.

Starlink, though nothing like what they used to.
Yes, there are huge leaps in drone tech and the tactics of how to use them, but I don't see much advance in command structure or strategy here. Also, the leaps in drone tech are useful partly BECAUSE they are leaps. Some other systems will ploddingly

I believe Russia became lazily dependent on Starlink, but will remember how it used to commmunicate and recover somewhat. Like a drug addict coming out of withdrawal after being forced to quit cold turkey. Also, they will likely develop some work-arounds that will let them continue to use a little

My background does not match most on DKos (USMA grad/ex-Infantry officer) so, while learning from a variety of people there with experience in areas I lack, I tried to contribute with my own specialty knowledge.

Thank you for checking it out. It was originally written to keep people who are interested in the Ukraine war enough to understand the general situation, yet too busy to follow things in detail or lacking the background to understand what the various moves mean. In other words, the DKos crowd.

They stop helping and they start to wonder why Russia is still in Ukraine. Obvious questions, afterall: If Ukraine is so super, why do they still need my help and why is that big chunk of RED still there on the Ukrainian map?
Ukrainians are performing like heros, but there ain't no unicorns.

What the cheerleader types don't realize is that daily reports of magnificence and success for years followed by, well, more of the same is counterproductive. If people believe Ukraine is winning EVERYTHING, they have two reactions:
