Manpower isn’t the only issue facing Ukraine. There is a repeated failure on organizing proper defenses by some leadership within units which then puts more pressure on other units when lines collapse or weaken.

But I’ve talked about that enough. Let’s talk about trench works. The following images are sat images from when Karlivka was held by Ukraine.

Karlivka is a natural strong point due to a lake(or pond whatever) and a soggy creek/river area running north to south with very few ways across it.

I can not understand how people can’t think critically and understand how the guy who tried to kill former president Trump would know he went golfing. And how it shows the guy had 0 training from the CIA, FBI, Russia, Ukraine or anyone as his setup sucked.

Trump doesn’t drive around with 1 car when he goes anywhere and there’s not very many people in the US who travel with blacked out vehicle motorcades or multiple similar vehicles to golf courses.(you can spot those vehicles miles away)

It’s quite easy sit at the entrance area in a vehicle being bored out of your mind.
Motorcade pulls up, move to shooting position where weapon was stashed ahead of time.

There’s no inside conspiracy, just extreme complacency and a dude who had time and sat at a place that’s hard to hide your coming and going since there’s one main entrance and you’re arriving in a pretty obvious manner.
Screenshot just for reference if he was near point B (they said between 5th & 7th hole at fence).

Shooter would have had a better chance of being successful if he was at the red dot due to concealment and he’d of been lined up at the tee box and could have gotten quite a few shots off before seen. And he’d of been far closer. It’s also highly unlikely the secret service is walking through all that tree area.

Both that last attack and this one on Trumps life were and are despicable. But I think it should also show the failings of our security in this country towards political violence on politicians(and their families as well)

Both sides need to walk back the divisive rhetoric and move towards more moderate campaign tones. Now, let’s get put on a watchlist.

If it was me, I’d of of done the following knowing the Feds are far behind the drone curve and it’s unlikely they are walking around with EW that can block out cell&radio both or have radar up to even detect a sub $1,000 fpv.

So after seeing it brought up hundreds of times of the last month etc.

Let’s get into some things.

So is Ukraine suffering from a manpower shortage. Yes, yes they are.

Is it why Ukraine is losing ground or the most significant reason. No, no it isn’t. I’ve been fighting here in Ukraine for over two years now, and the only thing that’s stayed consistent is the failure at command on multiple levels when it comes to defense in depth, troop organization in regards to building defenses, and discipline on work to get it done.
