It's a huge geopolitical win. If China attacks Taiwan, there's a good chance they'd try to impose a blockade on the trade routes, basically straining the SK and Japanese forces of oil and gas. This reserve gives the US, SK, and Japan a lot of leverage and maneuverability in terms of military strategies.

> We've already discovered, drilled, and capped wildly more oil reserves than we could ever use. Korea hasn't. It would very much benefit from having fossil fuels that aren't reliant on global markets or shipping. >And the whole time renewable energy is just getting cheaper and cheaper than fossil fuels... It is only cheaper if you can overcome intermittency. Cheap solar is not cheap if you have to spin up coal plants to full grid demand every night. So far, the only viable options for allowing solar and wind to become a serious part of the grid mix is combined cycle gas power plants or a lot of hydro. Even the largest grid scale batteries can only provide enough storage to help deal with short peaks in demand. Useful, but not close to enough.

I kinda agree except the definitions. Biden doesn't pressure Israel into "peace" - no one in Israel believes that, No one in the US Army / ex-CIAs whatever, think thats true.. Hamas must be fully exterminated + an Ally must be formed to handle Gaza and keep fighting against Iran & Qatar influence. Biden does it for political reasons only, or just for optics and pretending, while in reality the US push & backup the other options more.

People need to understand that Russia is really not very oppressive outside of their large cities.  There are towns and villages in Russia that almost never see police and are controlled by local gangs. You kind of saw this in Dagestan where people essentially walked onto an airport tarmac before National Guard troops literally had to be flown in to secure it. Even before the war Russia's resources were spread very thin over the amount of territory they have. That's not the case with China.

I read your comment and while your argument is valid, what I’m trying to say with my last paragraph is that when we are talking about major countries it isn’t a matter of ability but of willingness to do such things. As an absurd example: any EU member could afford to pick a spec-ops or intelligence agent, issue them a new passport and send them abroad to kill some guy. But even though they have the ability to do something like that there are various institutional layers to prevent it and they also don’t have a complete disregard for the rules based international order.

What? How is the object immaterial? They want official recognition of the tragedy, and likely political reparations in line with the demands of the demonstrators of that time. They're trying to change the political situation, which is a series of laws and procedures. To say it's not material is just flat out disingenuous. They are trying to change the processing and handling of the material which is the political body of people. Freedom of movement, association, and speech. The forces which govern an object, and the forces exerted by an object cannot be separated as not part of the ongoing process which is the entity. As for Britain, I'm sure they have plenty to own up for. The way you're trying to address it, however, does nothing but to try and debase other legitimate outrage by saying the status quo is hypocritical, and therefore without merit. That's all whataboutism ultimately amounts to.

Hamas has lost thousands and thousands of fighters already and Israel has lost ~250 soldiers. That ratio does not benefit Hamas, lol. Where the pressure needs to come is on those *supporting* Hamas — like Egypt, Lebanon, Qatar, and Iran. They’re basically providing the same support to Hamas that NATO is providing to Ukraine. Without that support, they fall. Hamas’ leadership needs to be punished. The organization needs to be destroyed. There’ll always be a new upstart after Hamas is gone — but Hamas as it is, will be gone. Israel has highlighted this requirement frequently, and Hamas’ allies aren’t incorporating it in their proposals.

Netanyahu would be throwing away his party’s foothold because the far right parties that account for about 2 dozen or so seats threatened to pull support for Likud if Netanyahu accepts the proposal. That said, Israel’s government has also come out saying the dissolution of Hamas is still a requirement to them for a permanent ceasefire. So, unless this deal involved Hamas’ leadership getting 6 foot drops, it’s not going to end.

Sadly, yes. Pre-war estimates had large barrel artillery stock at well over 10k, plus large mortars on top of that. Those were probably underestimates to some degree, and they have been manufacturing and perhaps even buying from their allies more. Combine that with whatever they salvage from the battlefield It is not sustainable in the least, however. We will.have to ee how much longer their stocks hold up.

Short answer: No. Long answer: These Ukrainian claims, with the possible exception of the casualties if you consider them as KIA+WIA+POW, are all exaggerated, some more than others. Every country to ever fight a war has exaggerated the enemy's losses and Ukraine is no exception. That's not a critique of Ukraine, it's just the nature of the fog of war and confirmation bias. The 13,000 losses would be basically everything Russia had. According to [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_equipment_of_the_Russian_Ground_Forces), before the war, Russia had at least 1,032 mortars in active service (at least 4,000 in reserve), approximately 1,581 pieces of towed artillery in active service (6,675 in reserve), and approximately 2,228 self-propelled guns in active service (3,960 in reserve), for 4,841 total in active service (14,635 in reserve). But that's based on Military Balance figures, so let's look at some photographic evidence. Covert Cabal and company [analyzed Russian storage bases back in February](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FozvYM2Zhpw) and compared them to pre-war numbers. Since these are storage bases, this should be comparable to the numbers listed as in reserve on Wikipedia. Before the war, they found 2,365 towed mortars, 12,266 other towed artillery (5,603 of which were D-20, D-1, M-30, M-46, or ML-20, which are very old and would not have been in service prior to the war, so call it 6,663 modern artillery pieces), and 4,450 self-propelled guns in storage, for a grand total of 19,081 (13,478 modern pieces). So that roughly corresponds with Wikipedia's numbers if you only look at the modern guns. Now, as of February, Covert Cabal found that there were 44 towed mortars, 6,742 other towed artillery (4,069 of which were D-20, D-1, M-30, M-46, or ML-20, so call it 2,673 modern artillery pieces), and 2,961 self-propelled guns left in storage. Assuming that every time a gun is lost, Russia replaces it with one from storage (which is an oversimplification that will make loss rates look higher than they are, some guns will just have been activated as the Russian army increased in size, and others will have been cannibalized to repair guns that were broken, which is still a loss for Russia, but is unlikely to be claimed by Ukraine as a kill), that suggests Russia has lost 2,321 towed mortars, 5,524 towed guns, and 1,489 self-propelled guns, for a total 9,334. For the factors I mentioned in my parenthetical, I would argue that is a top end number of losses, but since that was from February (or earlier, depending on when satellite imagery was available), we'll just take that number as is and assume actual losses have caught up by today. TLDR in round numbers: Russia started the war with approximately 19,000 modern artillery pieces (including mortars) in active service or reserve. Ukraine claims to have destroyed 13,000. Actual losses are likely around 9,000, maybe less.

At Shangri-La Dialogue, Ukraine's allies - and Zelenskiy - push for more defence aid >SINGAPORE, June 2 (Reuters) - Ukraine's allies will step up to provide military assistance as the country weathers attacks by Russia, officials said at the Shangri-La Dialogue global defence forum in Singapore, where Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy was a surprise visitor. >More than two years after Russia invaded, Kyiv faces renewed assaults on its territory, particularly in the region around the northeastern city of Kharkiv. A greater flow of artillery ammunition has strengthened defences there, but more is needed - particularly surface-to-air missiles, said Germany's chief of defence, General Carsten Breuer. >"What we see is that Ukraine needs air defences... and of course, artillery ammunition and weapon systems to fight against Russia and this present attack," Breuer said in an interview on the sidelines of the conference. >Zelenskiy arrived in Singapore on Saturday to try to gather support for a "peace summit" planned for June 15-16 in Switzerland. At that summit, he hopes to rally friendly countries around the idea of a resolution to the conflict, which began when Russia invaded in February 2022, that includes the withdrawal of Russian troops and the restoration of Ukraine's 1991 borders. >"It is very important for us to begin the process of establishing a just peace," Zelenskiy said on the social media platform X. "Russia does not want to end the war. Therefore, we must work together with the entire world to bring peace closer." >Lithuanian Prime Minister Ingrida Simonyte, who has said her country's military will train troops inside Ukraine if needed, called on countries in the Indo-Pacific region to provide more assistance for Kyiv. >"Ukraine needs the unwavering support of all nations that cherish freedom," Simonyte said. **"This is not a regional issue. This is a global imperative. This is a fight for freedom for all us."** >In recent days, Ukraine began using U.S. weapons such as High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS) to attack Russian forces inside Russia - a development Zelenskiy that said he was grateful for, but that it was not enough. [https://www.reuters.com/world/shangri-la-dialogue-ukraines-allies-zelenskiy-push-more-defence-aid-2024-06-02/](https://www.reuters.com/world/shangri-la-dialogue-ukraines-allies-zelenskiy-push-more-defence-aid-2024-06-02/) The security conference in Singapore, organised by the London-based International Institute of Strategic Studies, began Friday and ended Sunday.

I don't know ratings for russia, but NATO related articles mention ~2k shells will typically wear out a barrel. According to Gen. Cavoli and other sources, Russia could have fired ~15 million shells by now, needing ~7.5k barrels. Obviously they could have made or imported some. And maybe they had racks of them just sitting around inside that couldn't be counted by Covert Cabal... But many of those removed could have been for barrels.

Russia gained some 173 km2 in that direction (12 villages, and about 20% of the town of Vovchansk), suffered thousands of casualties. They made those gains entirely from May 10th to May 20th. Since May 20th they have been effectively paralyzed in that area and the frontline stabilized. Now Ukraine is reportedly making minor counterattacks against them.
r/worldnews
comment
r/worldnews
2024-03-06
Also please keep in mind 173 km^2 sounds more impressive than it is. It's a tiny part of Ukraine relative to the size of the country and they were mostly very small villages, even Vovchansk which Russia didn't even manage to take only had a prewar population of around 20,000. Obviously any territory lost is a negative for Ukraine but I feel like posts that constantly highlight how much land area Russia has taken make it sound worse than it often is. Of course some pieces of territory are more important than others but once again concentrating on the size of territory taken doesn't tell you how important it is either.

so an FPV operator finds his target and destroys it how long before he can reappear with another drone? I see an opportunity here where a single operator can find something like this convoy and call up (with the push of a button or a signal) something like 50 more drones to fly to that location and hover nearby so the operator can quickly... respawn is the best word i can think of... on another drone and continue the attack. I see in the videos quite a bit of lag time between the first strike and subsequent strikes where vehicles and people have had a chance to hide. Speed isn't the only advantage. That operator has had a close look and might see where they ran to hide that a new operator might have missed
