Guess he's talking favorably about Ukraine bombing Russian refineries. Dude is all over the map when it comes to Ukraine. Seems to depend whether he talked to Putin or an EU guy last. |

This may be what Trump means by "interesting times ahead." I've read from numerous sources that Russia has already been protecting its refineries with multiple Pantsir and other air defense systems, but Ukraine has still managed to knock out a bunch of them with drones which are basically just remote-controlled Cessnas. Think what actual cruise missiles will be able to do against shitty Russian air defenses. |

Date: August 21st, 2025 10:11 AM Author: Terry Bollea Did Nothing Wrong (TDNW) these are basically 50-60s tech, but russia can’t protect all of its land with proper air defense so with enough saturation these Flamingos should be able to do a lot of damage.

But the reality today is that Cessnas can hit the most valuable targets in Russia repeatedly and at will. Of all the areas of Russian defense tech which have shit the bed in this war, none is worse than their air defense. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5764554&forum_id=2:#49200206) |

Date: August 21st, 2025 10:23 AM Author: Terry Bollea Did Nothing Wrong (TDNW) it was kind of true at the beginning. but Ukrainians have done a good job of not only degrading AD numbers of many of their systems but also stretching the fuck out them by attacking on a wider and deeper plane than russia can cope with (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5764554&forum_id=2:#49200221) |

Date: August 21st, 2025 11:35 AM Author: .- .-. . .-. . .--. - .. .-.. . The Russians have shot down hundreds of cruise missiles. They are next to useless against Russian AD. What the Ukrainians use to get the refineries is small drone with 20 pound warheads mostly fired from Kazakhstan and Finland. The big missiles are large drones are SAM food.

My best read on Trump/Ukraine is that he has no sympathy at all for Ukraine, on an emotional level, but he badly wants to get credit for ending the war as he said he would do. And he recognizes that it is Russia, not Ukraine, which is making maximalist and unrealistic demands at this point. And since he isn't willing to give Ukraine any more US aid, the only lever he has left to pressure Russia is by economic sanctions and military strikes against refineries, etc. |

Date: August 21st, 2025 10:21 AM Author: Terry Bollea Did Nothing Wrong (TDNW) Lavrov also said that even if talks were successful that someone else from Ukraine would need to sign the agreements because Zelensky is not a legitimate leader of the country
lol, if you give the russians the opportunity to be aggressive and stupid, they will take it |

Date: August 21st, 2025 10:25 AM Author: ,.,,.,.,,,,,,..................... Yeah, and he also said that Russia would have to approve of the specifics of any defense arrangements which Europe provides to Ukraine. They seem to be playing to the talk show crowd back home, but they aren't tossing even the smallest of bones to Trump in trying to work out a deal. Seems he has finally had enough, at least until the next meeting with Putin. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5764554&forum_id=2:#49200231) |

Still keeping the economic pressure on, post-summit. |

Date: August 21st, 2025 11:37 AM Author: .- .-. . .-. . .--. - .. .-.. . They aren’t destroying squat. Properly knocking out a refinery takes massive number of hits with much bigger warheads. The Ukrops are a minor nuisance and they mostly just blow up cisterns the Russians refill in a day. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5764554&forum_id=2:#49200425) |
