Stacked minefields and heavy artillery are the problem right now. Abrams wouldn't be able to overcome that unless they can take out the russian artillery that is destroying armed eqpt right now. Anti-battery radar systems and mobile, long range artillery or himars to take out Russian artillery is what they seem to need. That and a system to neutralize russian air support. Send in the warthogs? what they can do to help neutralize artillery is take out their munitions and their supply lines. that all seems to be in process. Using cluster bombs will also allow them to be use some of the artillery they have with much more efficiency when doing counter battery artillery shots trying to eliminate russian artillery positions that are firing on armored equipment stuck in minefields. Perhaps the should send out some drone cardboard or inflatable tanks across the minefields to draw out russian artillery to accelerate the process.
Statements like "we nearly lost the war in Grenada" are why he probably has you on ignore. And that's why he can't (or won't) speak to you. And I would argue that you should not make the statement "I am here", because you aren't all there, if you know what I mean. Propaganda is a lonely life when your listeners realize that you and the truth can't be in the same room together. No offense intended.
Ukraine has broken through the first line of defense in some southern areas. Ukrainian soldiers say it was fairly easy, so much so that some of them could do it while wearing a cat on their heads. (The cat is trained to anchor the helmet and keep it on his head. The cat is also rumored to provide better night vision than what the Russians have.)

Moscow battery factory has explosions, and a large fire, before the roof collapses. Just another glorious day in Russia. Battery factory on fire in Moscow Oblast
I smile in the knowledge that I’ll never hear who ever this is but is it really worth responding? I haven’t got the “lawyer” on ignore yet because I’m morbidly enjoying his self own but it’s getting tiresome so he’s definitely going back. Now if a barista kills a Meal Team Six member it will be on like Donkey Kong
Does he realize Christie has less than zero influence here? Middle of the "epic counteroffensive" and he's taking out time to meet with Chris Christie? Wow.
And when you think about it, a narrative was the only thing the West ever had … Ukraine and its supporters worry about losing control of the narrative
Not that Christie will ever be in an elected position of power but he is not without influence among the electorate.
I mean seriously how much of this petty insulting do we have to put up with? You have demonstrated by your posting that you really aren’t the most well informed poster on here and rarely have any insightful takes. It’s usually types like that who try to compensate with insults.
Ukraine has high expectations for the F-16 fighters that they are going to get. Job 1, according to a new stamp Ukraine's post office has just released, is to "rub out" the Kremlin. I don't think the post office there has ever flown a fighter jet into battle, much less attacked a foreign capitol building. But I like their optimism!

If you support Ukraine, you'd be very concerned they think Chris Christie is relevant enough for Zelenskyy to meet with during the most crucial phase of the war thus far. But you can't take constructive criticism. You would prefer living a lie than calling it for what it is. Which is really a stupid thing to do during a war. Someone screwed the pooch for ole Z. I wonder if it was that trans dude.
Zelenski is going to meet with any politician of note. His biggest job is garnering worldwide support. Especially a Republican who supports him. Those of you in the pro-Putin orbit like yourself, Trump and DeSantis etc obviously will never be persuaded. But it puts some pressure on other non-Putin Republicans to shit or get off the pot. Christie had the balls to go over there. Will Haley? Scott? Pence?
I don’t see downside for Zelensky. He probably gave Christie like 10 minutes and a photo op. Who cares? We know why Christie did it, he wants to appear serious to the “normal” Republicans that are left in the party. Photo op probably doesn’t matter toward his hopeless electoral chances. But you can always say that for people polling in single digits. Why do any campaigning at all then?
Any other time, you’d be mocking Christie, but because it’s Zelenskyy, you have to get on your knees for him and do the service. Tribalism at its finest.
