    We know. You only want us to provide foreign aid to your Russia.

    My post was made in humor. I’m sorry to upset you with a comment that Russia is lacking in anything. That’s on me. But, in the spirit of message board posting …

    Southern Front on the other side of the river is starting to get real, developing into a fairly serious push by Ukraine.

    Why?

    Doesn’t Ukraine ask for assistance from the countries the pipeline serves?

    Zelenskyy (and his military) has done more to defeat Russia than essentially any other living person. Spending money on Ukraine's defense has been the most successful and effective military spending since WWII. Especially considering that he is willing to accept outdated and used military equipment. The only deadbeat I see is someone who has to check his communist propaganda sources before he has an original thought.

    Explosions at Russian plants: Ukrainian intelligence's reaction (msn.com)

    Ukrainian intelligence cannot confirm or deny its involvement in the explosions that occurred at Russian plants last night, as it was reported by the representative of the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense, Andrii Yusov, during a telethon.

    "The powder plant, a plant for the production of rocket equipment, somewhere there, a train went off the tracks. Well, you see, even in Russia, good people are celebrating the first anniversary of the liberation of Ukrainian Kherson, which the Main Directorate of Intelligence congratulates everyone on," replied Yusov.
    ...............................................
    Also, in the evening of November 10, explosions occurred in the city of Kolomna in the Moscow region. Reports on social media initially suggested a drone attack and the operation of air defense systems. Later, it became known that the explosion occurred in the area of the Design Bureau of Machine Building, which is involved in the development and production of missile equipment and anti-aircraft complexes.

    RBC-Ukraine sources claim that these operations were carried out by fighters of the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense.

    Ukraine destroys a military supply convoy of 11 trucks, killing 25 and injuring 30 Russian soldiers. They blew up the first and last truck, stopping the convoy, and then blasted the rest of them with artillery.

    Kremlin supporters were described as suffering from "hysteria", and not in a good way.

    Interesting thing about the F-16's is that Russia has been moving what was left of its border defense SAMs into Ukraine to defend the front lines. If the F-16's can get past the border, they may be able to bomb whatever they want to. No doubt the U.S. has persuaded them to not bomb the Kremlin (and possibly Moscow), but all industrial facilities within range of the F-16 are available targets.
