      A long read (on drones and Zelenski vs his top general), but worth it. https://stefankorshak.substack.com/p/feb-3-day-710-droning-on-about-drones?utm_medium=reader2

        @Wim very interesting stuff about the importance and effectiveness of drone warfare.

        He claims that it makes artillery partially obsolete. I’m not sure how true that is, but it’s certainly an interesting claim.

                Battle or meat grinder for Adiivka continues. Russian losses estimated at 13:1.
                Suspect George’s video above documents what is happening on the ground there:

                        @Wim That is interesting. China is pretty much the only major trading partner for Russia now. If they lose China...........

                        It is surprising that Chian would do this. With all of the domestic problems (including exports) they are having, I wonder the reasoning.

                                      This issue was debated here three months ago in December. The US must be at the table along side Ukraine as honest broker, arbitrator and guarantor. It’s all about winning the peace.

                                        His hope is to incent Biden to bite in an election year with a difficult Congress, yet still retain occupied territory. It’s to Biden’s credit that he refused.

                                          The Kremlin has wasted no time in denying it made such an offer to the US:

                                          https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2024/02/14/kremlin-denies-report-that-putin-offered-ukraine-truce-to-us-a84076

                                          That probably means that the report is true. Besides, Putin as much as said in his sermon/lecture to FuCa last week that he is prepared to negotiate Ukraine’s continued existence with any sitting US president. Makes sense, since Putin rejects the notion that Ukraine is a sovereign country or even exists.
