Why is Ukraine using $150,000 HIMARS rocket with a range of 60 miles to destroy a radio tower/relay located only one or two miles from the frontline? Shouldn't they have drones for such a target? Or at least mortars? Why are they wasting their capability like this?
The cluster round was so weak that the water tower it struck looked intact after the smoke cleared:

Canadians (and history) Are Putin Enablers:
Doomed:
One Eurobarometer poll in 2022 had already found that across Central and Eastern Europe, total agreement on support for sanctions against Russia varies from highs of 57 percent in Poland and 55 percent in Estonia to lows of 35 percent in Slovakia, 30 percent in Hungary and 20 percent in Bulgaria (https://europa.eu/eurobarometer/surveys/detail/2693).
Meanwhile, data from Slovakian non-governmental organisation GLOBSEC last year found while narrow majorities of people in the Czech Republic, Estonia, Lithuania and Poland would like their countries to be part of 'the West', this was still below half for people in Bulgaria, Hungary, Latvia, Romania and Slovakia.
More recently, we know from a study in the Czech Republic that 48 percent of Czechs are either “not sure”, “misinformed”, or “strongly pro-Russian” when it comes to their views of the Ukraine war. More striking still, a study by MNFORCE and Seesame agencies, and the Slovak Academy of Sciences, found more than half of Slovaks welcome a Russian victory.
Slovakia is especially noteworthy since the upcoming election in that country could see a more pro-Russian coalition emerge.
The man quite likely to become Slovakia's PM once again, Robert Fico, has said he would “stop supply of weapons to Ukraine".
Meanwhile, just this week, in a dramatic turn of events, Poland - Ukraine's biggest regional ally - has said it is no longer supplying weapons to its neighbour, with the focus now on defending itself. The background to this is a grain dispute, as well as an October election where the conservative nationalist Law and Justice party could be joined by the even more Eurosceptic and conservative 'Confederation', and Confederation's support for Kyiv is a matter of debate.
As regards the grain, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia are banning Ukrainian agricultural imports, with Ukraine planning to take its case to the World Trade Organization (WTO). On Tuesday, Croatia also confirmed no further Ukrainian grain imports.
This comes as the EU overrode the concerns of the Eastern European states, and ended the previous partial ban on grain imports from Ukraine, which allowed Bulgaria, Hungary, Poland, Romania, and Slovakia to ban domestic sales of Ukrainian grains while permitting transit for export elsewhere.
No doubt governments in Poland and Slovakia have elections on their mind, amid fears that farmers - major constituencies for ruling parties in both countries - could be negatively impacted. For its part, the EU is trusting the goodwill of Ukraine and assuming market distortions are over.
However, when even Poland's agriculture minister warns that Ukraine’s agriculture poses a “threat” to EU farmers, the chances of Ukraine joining the bloc seem even more remote. Perhaps after election day Poland and Slovakia will follow Bulgaria's example and lift the ban to bring down food prices. But the damage may be done by then.
Of course, Poland is not going to turn towards Russia per se. But when Ukraine's biggest regional ally is having a massive dispute with Kyiv it hardly bodes well for the latter, sending alarm bells ringing in both Brussels and Washington perhaps that support is starting to diminish.
What is also striking about recent findings is that pro-Russian sympathies are not merely emerging in the countries of southeast Europe - Orthodox Christian and traditionally more sympathetic to Russia, including non-EU Serbia - but in the historically Catholic West Slavic countries as well, like the Czech Republic and Slovakia. And perhaps Croatia, with Croatian president, Zoran Milanović, having previously criticised Western nations for supplying Ukraine. That is before we get to nearby Hungary.
It is worth remembering that a cultural Iron Curtain very much divides the EU and Europe between a liberal West and a conservative East. Hard as it may seem to accept in the West, for many in Central and Eastern Europe, Moscow represents a bulwark against what many see as a Godless and permissive Western world. For good or ill, this is likely informing attitudes towards the war.
Of course, Ukraine is part of this Eastern conservative bloc and is at war with Russia. No doubt there is sympathy with Ukraine regionally but this is being tempered by a general wariness of Western liberalism as well. How this plays out is anyone's guess.
In the end, the people of the region - on the doorstep of the conflict - likely feel some eventual accommodation has to be reached. They need to live with Russia as the dominant power in their backyard, and most understand that a Russia broken up or in chaos risks the creation of a bunch of nuclear-alarmed microstates creating a hundred new problems for the people of Eastern Europe.
But it is the cultural divide which is likely informing attitudes now. Weapons or no weapons, if hearts and minds begin to seriously shift in Eastern Europe, then the tide of the war could begin to seriously shift against Ukraine.

Full Circle: From a Counteroffensive Poised To Break The War Of Attrition To Human Wave Attacks On Foot In Order To 'Capture' One Square Meter At A Time:
Doom Doesn't Stop:
“When the hard right-wingers attempt in Congress to block renewed aid to Ukraine, they do Putin’s work,” Robert I. Rotberg, founding director of Harvard Kennedy School’s Program on Intrastate Conflict, wrote this week. “As such, they are Putin enablers.”
The same could equally be said for an all-too-rapidly expanding collection of leaders abroad.
All parties, more than ever, need to act like allies and continue singing from the same songbook.

Mitch must be overjoyed to sing about the results, and, yes, they banned ANY traffic of Ukranian grain through Poland, Slovakia and Hungary as the retard blatantly lies without shame, that they are blocking the grain not from being sold in their countries, but from reaching poor Africans, when in fact the ban has nothing to do with that and is explicitly because the despicable Ukranazi don't give a fuck undermining their neighbours by flooding those countries with cheap and often poor quality grain and produce, while even when the grain corridor was open not even a handful of grain shipments out of the hundred reached poor Africans. All in all the doom is couched by cope and blatant make believe and reduced to hilarious fantasy so as not to sound like a Kremlin enabler since reality is painful to acknowledge.

Que Loony Toons Theme For These Kremlin Enablers:
They will send more only when we send them more, ironically even though that won't happen for years, they've already depleted their Cesar howitzers and most of their old tanks, even some new P92's were sent to burn for Queef.
Meanwhile:
German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock has reportedly admitted that Berlin had occasionally sent outdated or almost non-functional military equipment to Ukraine.
"It does not only help to promise, and then you cannot deliver, or deliver things which do not work ... Some of our systems were really old-fashioned," Baerbock said in an interview with US media, according to Sputnik news agency.
“So, because we know and we said that in the beginning, some are not really functioning, when we deliver, it does have to work in the field,” she was quoted as saying.
Persistant Gloomy Outlook:
It's not how long Queef can last, it's Russians he's worried about.
Bending Over Backwards To AssSuck On Queefs "Tactics", because remember, the breakthrough counteroffensive was always meant to be a continuation of the attritional warfare:
Let me take out my magnifying glass to notice the progress while the retardo unirinically tells us that the Ukrainians will do what they're taught after writing a puff piece for why they're not doing what they were taught and how they're not doing as bad as they would have had they did what they were taught. The imbeciles will eat this up as such blatant contradictions don't register to them. "If you're not vaccinated you're putting the rest who are at risk."
No Poland Bros- you're supposed to memory hole this, why wait a year to release what everyone withe a modicum of common sense already knew, don't you know "Putin Smells Blood"!

Winning The Hearts And Minds:
Instead of sanctions might as well donate directly to Putin, at least then they can cast a shadow of a doubt on him by their association.
Another Winning Sauce Recipe, From The Same Retards That Said Bakhmut Is Grinding The Russians Down And Giving Queef Time To Launch Decisive Counteroffensive:
If. As If Queef had anything to show for their Kharkov breakthrough where they got so ground down in Lyman they needed 8 months to rebuild while they can't even hold that territory, which was more or less all they got, but now these clowns can't even cope with mines, let alone fortified positions and hundreds of thousands of Russians manning them.
Counteroffensive Identifies As Over As It Transitioned From One To Three Weeks To Sea Of Azov Back Into War Of Attrition Against Undisputed Champions Of Attrition Warfare, Russians:

It's one thing to brag when you have proof of your exploits, its another to invent them and try to pass them off when reality goes completely counter to your narratives, that's the factor only a true imbecile can't see, on a more basic level, its a slap in the face to those who are actually fighting and dying against the Russians, not just larping.
When Larping in a Bright Yellow 'Ambulance' goes south:
Don't worry NAFO pedophiles and faggots alike, the Russians are feeble, incompetent and they're getting killed 15 to Zero, I'm almost certain 2000 Russians died just for that one lucky shot on that Short Bus.

Another Wunderwaffe Myth Bites The Dust:

Do they think this is like Call Of Duty, they can just shot tanks and blow them up with grenades? It explains the HIMARS strike.
