Question mainly for Roman or someone else who has contact with someone on the front. How does the rhetoric of negotiations influences the morale of the combatants? Because it shouldn't be very motivating for the combatants on both sides that it doesn't matter if they capture a village or not if in the end Donald decides where the border will go.

War in Ukraine, technical and military aspects only
mandeb48 replied to bojan's topic in Military Current Events
Some topics to delve into while the front barely moves. 1_ A marked decrease in the use of Lancet was observed at the end of 2024 in lostarmour. Simple media variation or something deeper? 2_ Little is seen of the Pión 2S7 compared to years ago in russia side, wear on the barrels, lack of ammunition or simple media disinterest? 3_ Has ANYONE seen a picture of the 2S35 Koalitsiya-SV actually operating at the front? 4_ AK-12 2023. better than an ak-74m? why? 5_ Which truck carries the weight of logistics on the Ukrainian side? -
It is nice to see how all of humanity, without distinction of borders, race and religions, is the same everywhere: scammers who use all means to steal from unwary people, if possible old people who are easy victims.

With all due respect to Paraguay and I hope that this opinion does not offend any Paraguayan members, historically it has been a country living off smuggling to its larger neighbors. Some legal peculiarities allow it to be a safe place to resell stolen vehicles from neighboring countries (mostly high-end SUVs) And the Paraguay River is not only a great waterway for exporting soybeans, but also more expensive, white and powdery products to Europe.) They also have a marked presence in drug trafficking in neighboring countries, having a strong presence in marginal neighborhoods in Buenos Aires, for example. However, in recent years it has grown economically and I do not know how it has impacted in security. In short, it is a typical middle-income Latin American country not very different from its neighbors.

the military ramifications of a war with Drug Cartels
mandeb48 replied to Tim the Tank Nut's topic in Military Current Events
You can do it and it will be a nice show but nothing more, because the cartel is only the part subcontracted to the third world of the industry. The banks where money is laundered will be bombed? in the middle of now York? There is demand, money, there will be suppliers, Mexican cartels or local businessmen. -
the military ramifications of a war with Drug Cartels

The problem of drug trafficking is the great corrupting power it has in society. It can hardly be fought militarily. The United States could bomb a drug trafficker's mansion, a landing strip or a coca plantation in Latin America. But will it bomb the mansion of the american bankers who launder money, the mansion of the american politicians who receive money for their political campaigns or the American police officers who get paid to look the other way? Will EEUU bomb the homes of american families who have addicted children? Will they imprison/kill the millions and millions of Americans who use drugs? The problem is not simple. -

railways : (from the Russian side) 1 - New straightened route to Mariupol 2 – Donetsk-Gl. – Yasinovataya section restored 2-3 months ago with an exit to Debaltseve 3 – The main line to Mariupol, which could not be used before the “Ugledar balcony” was broken. Now – it is possible (from the Ukrainian side) 4 – The Dnepropetrovsk – Pokrovsk – Donetsk route has been cut off 5 – Trains no longer run to Konstantinovka 6 – The road junction near Krasny Liman is also no longer operating source : lostarmour.info -
A UAV was approaching an SUV near the front to destroy it and a child and two soldiers got out of the vehicle. The attack is aborted at the last moment: https://t.me/boris_rozhin/151947 What is a child doing accompanying soldiers near the front?

Greenland. China, Russia, USA, and Denmark
mandeb48 replied to Tim the Tank Nut's topic in Military Current Events
To have more military presence in Greenland you do not need to threaten Denmark. All it took was a call to Copenhagen and that's it, he would have what he wants, this is different, he threatens a subordinate, I mean, a NATO ally for free. -

don't worry. There is a pro-American government. Argentine will borrow what it needs from IMF. -
Greenland. China, Russia, USA, and Denmark
mandeb48 replied to Tim the Tank Nut's topic in Military Current Events
What surprises me most about this situation is the lack of reaction in the world. It is not the first time that a strong country wants to take something of value from a weaker one. but at least they tried to invent some excuse so that the theft would not be so obscene. But hey, if Uncle Sam wants the resources of Greenland, the resources of Greenland will have and those from Canada, and those from Panama and those from...... -

Maybe Denmark should ask for the F16s it delivered to Argentina and Ukraine back. I might need them and not to resist a Russian or Chinese attack precisely.
