    HIMARS is a truck that moves somewhere else after it's been fired. The U.S. is keeping track of the HIMARS units in Ukraine, and while it may take them a couple days to check on the ones in combat zones, they are able to confirm whether any of them have been destroyed. So far, none have been confirmed destroyed. They are still blasting the hell out of the Russian units, helping Ukraine to take back their land. Ukraine still speaks highly of them--if they were out of service, they would probably stop talking about them and talk more about the heroics of their troops, destroying the Russian army without advanced missile delivery systems like HIMARS to help them out.

    And Russia is losing. The thin shell of their pathetic reasoning for starting this war and becoming the Nazis they claim to be fighting has been cracking and falling apart since Day 1.

    What “the US reports” means ...

    DAH won’t win a war. Neither will continually assigning imaginary objectives to Russia then disparaging it for failing to achieve them.

    apparently Putin called a truce for orthodox Christmas. 2 days or so.

    Natural gas prices are way down from their peak. I think we are making up the excess easily. There is talk of an oversupply without any Russian natural gas.

    Ka Ha, they’re looking weak and pathetic. I expect them to keep getting pounded.

    I haven't really been following this thread at all but why is this dad guy so invested in the Russia winning narrative?

    Bottom line: you’re not going to read the article and chew on its implications, are you ?

    I think invested is too strong. Though that is certainly true of my disputants. Mainly I’m observing that Russia winning is as obvious as observing the weather’s getting colder this time of year.

    Every other post I've seen (more really) seems to be you. Is there a way to check how many times a user has posted in a thread? I don't think that is healthy.

    You've made 16 in the last 2 pages. Probably time to put down the keyboard and go outside.

    Just for kicks I picked a random page and found 5 more of your posts. Did a search for posts by member in this thread only. It stopped at 200 and that was on page 655. Over the last 30 pages you've had 200 posts. If we extrapolate that its over 4,500 posts. Truly mentally insane.

    Why are you obsessed with my number of posts ? Is that healthy ?

    I'm just stunned, tbh. Anyways, off to the real world for me.
