I'm not sure disguising an MLRS system as an ordinary truck will work very well, as the Ukrainians happily take out logistics trucks and vans.

Exactly right. Ukraine takes out every vehicle within a designated area of interest which is near the frontlines.
Disguising warfare systems in this way will have no effect whatsoever.

Had Ukraine not frustrated Putin's plans in 2022, we might currently be talking about his invasion(s) of the Baltic countries, Moldova, or even Poland. Driving back the orcish invaders and gutting Russia's army, tanks, aircraft, and SAM systems have probably precluded such invasions for a decade or even 2 or 3 decades.

Meanwhile, Ukraine Haters still want to believe Zelensky has two yachts on the Black Sea, Zelensky's wife went skiing in St. Moritz, or similarly false Hate-Ukraine nonsense.

Exactly. Russia as a nation state is a parasite and the Soviet military was built by the industry of the people enslaved by the USSR. Russia is incapable of creating prosperity for her own people unless it sucks the blood of other people.

Denying Russia an empire will cause Russia to wither and die. And that's why the Russians are bleeding themselves white in Ukraine.

Russian troops 'film themselves executing six Ukrainian POWs in new war crime'

Daily Mail

23 January 2025

Vladimir Putin's Russian troops are being accused of a new war crime, as a video has emerged showing an executioner calling on his comrades to film as at least six Ukrainian POWs are cold-bloodedly shot dead.

Kyiv has launched a criminal investigation and reported the barbaric mass killing to the United Nations and Red Cross.

The savage Russian soldiers in the occupied Donetsk region film themselves committing the illegal battlefield massacre.

'This one's mine,' says one of the Russia soldiers after demanding, 'Give me two machine guns'.

The POWs are seen lying face down on the ground as the occupiers decide to kill them.

'Get the camera,' one Russian is heard saying. 'Get the phone, get the phone, get the phone, get the phone, film me.'

The prisoners are told to 'get the f*** over here, one at a time over here, hurry up. One at a time. Over here, on your knees.'

They are ordered: 'Go, go, we'll kill you anyway.'

At least two Russians are seen shooting the kneeling victims from behind. Others were shot as they walked to the murder spot.

The inaction of the US prior to the last two world wars resulted in US involvement in those wars.

Preventing the Russian wars of conquest in Ukraine, Moldova, and Georgia from spreading will prevent direct conflict.

But of course if the Russians are bent on war against the US then it would be handy to have bases in Ukraine.

Disabusing the Russians of their imperial ambitions is a national interest for the US especially given their stated intentions to seize Alaska.

This fall I have a son going into the USMC and I can assure you that I do not want to see him fight Russia. I'd rather the war be prevented and we can't prevent WW3 by sticking our heads up our asses and claiming it's none of our business. That didn't work in the last two world wars and it won't work in the next one.

Good post.
