The DPR/LPR were mainly working the area of Donetsk with Russian Military there in some instances providing immediate fire power and air support. Both the Chechens and the Wagner Group have been in there as well. The majority (80%) of the Russian Military have not been in Ukraine yet. There has been all sorts of rumours that Russia has suffered heavy casualties fighting around the Kherson and Kharkov regions. While there were some casualties, nothing in the vicinity of what the Nazis have suffered - around 5000 dead and another 8000 casualties in 4 days and numbers still rising. Zelinsky had to prove that the West’s money was being well spent so they concocted this plan of their big push of 10,000 troops. There are people commenting that Russia has failed etc. but do you really think that Russian intelligence as well as intercepts leaves Russia not knowing what is going on? They’ve set a trap and NATO et al have fallen in. Russia rules the skies. In the last couple of hours, the air aid sirens have been going off all over Ukraine. Electricity as stated has been interrupted and a good part of the area has no power which means in some instances, no social media. But news is getting thru in some areas and the Ukraine Nazi Military and their NATO/Pentagon owners are being decimated.
It’s easy to see Ukraine is the deep states deadman’s switch. Parking there operation right next to a nuclear opponents front door, so the whole world can go down with them.
I don’t know the full story of Russia, but I do know Zelenskyy is a DS puppet and an enemy of ours.
So there is a book called Three Days Of Darnkess that's about three days of hell on Earth. It was a misspelling when the publisher did it too but they caught it too late and just ran it.
Ten days. Darkness. No preposition or adverb "of," "with," "for," "through," "before," "after," etc. to specify the relationship. And that holds whether it is "darkness" or "darnkess."
Very uncanny, I was just looking at post 64 right before I seen this thread.
I was looking because X22 Dave referenced a new Scavino post near the end of his new video, which was for a post made, video was 1:04 seconds long, so he referenced post 104.
But I thought of the total seconds instead, so was looking at 64. Very interesting.
Exactly right. The reality of the situation is that Russia is winning the physical war while the west is winning the propaganda war. And while propaganda is a key component of warfare, you can't win on propaganda alone. At some point as Russia continues to swat around the Ukrainian military it'll become too obvious they're losing and they'll have to come to the negotiating table.
In the meantime we'll keep throwing money down the drain and they'll keep throwing their peoples' lives away.
Only a fraction of the money is being thrown away. I'll betcha 90% or more is coming right back to the us of a. Not to us of course. We know where its going.
So far, the Russian military has waged a “soft” war, avoiding attacks on strategic infrastructure facilities in Ukraine in an attempt to minimize damage to the civilian population. Such a strategy has already slowed down the Russian advance on the battlefields and increased losses among the Russian military.
Amid Russia’s recent losses in the Kharkiv region, the Russian military has probably switched to tougher methods of warfare, which are necessary for victory. If so, this marks the beginning of it. Ukraine is fighting a scorched earth type of warfare, but are under-manned and even more so in regards to fire power. This is why 20% of the Ukro-Nazi force is now foreigners. Russian speaking citizens living in the Kharkiv-Izium region who worked with or even took aid from Russian troops will pay the heaviest price. Let's pray they are able to escape.
Notice the Russian side has yet to confirm the attacks. There is a chance that Kiev struck at its own facilities in order to blame Russia for the attacks and justify military actions on the Russian territory, while Ukrainian forces are approaching the Russian border in the Kharkov region. The Ukro-Nazis are already firing artillery at the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant, which could cause major contamination of radiation, and are looking to blame Russia for the disaster.
By judging how quickly Zelensky condemned Russia for the blackout, my gut right now is telling me that the UkroNazis did this to justify attacks on the Russian homeland. Targeting Russian cities like Belgorod has been occurring for some time now.
I believe it is inevitable that the Russians will be forced to to amp-up their warfare on the Ukro-Nazis.
I have seen reports on intel_slava_z (Telegram) that the attacks have been prosecuted with sea-launched cruise missiles (video of launches and arrivals). One power plant has been hit and inoperable. The trains have stopped working. A satellite photo shows nighttime Ukraine as a big dark blot. If it is a self-inflicted wound, it looks to be close to fatal.
u/Tewdryg There is no reason for the Ukrainians to destroy their own power plants, because their mostly electrified trains are integral to their logistics. As a result of the blackouts, the Ukrainian military trains stopped dead, where they became sitting ducks for Russian missiles.
Dima on YT gives more detail here in this video.
Ukraine.Military Summary And Analysis Of Strikes Against Critical Infrastructure Facilities 12.09.22
You may be right. I don't know. That's really my point. So far the Russians are quiet on the issue though. Nevertheless, this doesn't mean they didn't target the electrical infrastructure. It would be logical that the Russians ought to do this and would mark the beginning of a more comprehensive military strategy. The "soft war" they have been fighting is no longer effective. It was designed to protect the Ukrainian people from destruction and bloodshed and to focus only on UkroNazi military assets. It's understandable why the Russians chose this path, especially with a large population of Russian speakers in the Donbass. The UkroNazis however easily learned this strategy and is the reason why they repeatedly set up military assets in civilian areas using public schools and hospitals as command centers. It's despicable using civilians as human shields. But, this is precisely the character of government we are dealing with. This has worked to their advantage and Kiev with their Western Cabal financiers have been winning the propaganda war, but not the actual war itself.
Russia needs to turn the page from this "soft war" and initiate a more encompassing strategic plan for winning this war. The stakes are too high. The UkroNazi artillery targeting on Russian civilian centers is an act of war. Russia ought to realize this and change tactics. It makes sense your premise may be correct, that is, only if Russia is finally turning the page for a more comprehensive military strategy.
Lastly, any Ukraine sourced material hasn't been credible. In war, truth especially suffers due to propaganda. The same credibility issue could be said of Russia, except Russia has been consistently more measured and consistent with the reports than Kiev has. The two leaders, one being a sadistic comedian, who on stage played the piano with his pecker and also has no issue of cross-dressing on national TV, compared the other, who himself is a Russian Eastern Orthodox Christian and reestablished the Christian church in Russia is hated by the Western Satanic Cabal. This gives me a good sense of who more to believe.
Thank you for this update. There's a very good analysis of this that appears to b e marking the new phase of strategy and also closing the Russian "soft war" as it is no longer effective. The withdrawal from the Khakiv-Izium region is also an interesting tactic explained on this thread. Look for more of my commentary to find this analysis or find it from -- "Ukraine - Russian Military Explains Its Withdrawal From The Izium Region"
I hope not. Russia officials keep stating that nuclear war could happen. Russia has offended the Rothschild fractional reserve banking system by ending it in Russia. The wars the world is fighting is uni-polar versus multi-polar financial ideology. The uni-polar is the Rothschild one world digital fractional reserve banking system versus BRICS multi-polar system to which leading nation governments control a basket of reserve currencies.
Russia has for many years muzzled the Rothschild central bank in Russia and because it the City of London along with its puppet nation members have sought to overthrow Putin's Russia. This is why the color revolution in Ukraine occurred in 2014. The West was preparing Ukraine to attack the belly of Russia by bio-weapon releases and militarily. In the United States, Trump also took steps to muzzle the Federal Reserve. And we saw the coup d'etat that occurred. It is for the same reason, the democrats/RINOS approved of 87 thousand IRS agents to go after MAGA supporters.
You're joking right? Russia has flattened whole cities. If Ukraine dares to fight back Russia just blast the entire city to dust with artillery, but its a soft war? You need to pull your head out of your ass. Go look at the pictures of Sievierodonetsk. Its nothing but rubble.
I've yet to pick a side in the politics of this fight because I have my doubts about Putin being a white-hat, but I track the FACTS when it comes to the actual fight. Russia is now losing. Or at least it looks like they are. It might be a cleaver trick or turn into a battle of the bulge moment where Ukraine ends up like Germany but so far Russia is just getting their ass handed to them over the past few days.
Russia is lashing out because its afraid and they want to punish Ukraine for daring to defeat them. Putin's war machine is a broken down dodge pickup truck. Ukraine... probibly with CIA help... has figured out the secret sauce to defeat them. Most importantly Russia is not adapting quickly enough or in some cases NOT AT ALL. Russian equipment barely works. Corrupt officers stole all the money to maintain them. Yeah, they have 10 times as many tanks as Ukraine... WHEN THEY WORK.
Stop listening to that stupid fuck-tard Zalinsky and stop watching fucking RT propaganda. Go look at the strategic maps and look at the real videos people post on Reddit(yeah I know cancer) that show real troops have taken real towns. It shows the whole picture pretty damn well. A fucking Russian LT COLONEL got taken captive by Ukraine. That's a person in charge of a battalion. That's anywhere from 500-2000 men. His area was overrun so badly he and his driver were captured.
This guys videos(The Enforcer) are a little long but if you look in the comments he posts a link to the google map he uses in each video. That map has markers to various videos that give a pretty clear picture of the news of the day.
Whatever. Everyone on this board needs to stop fan-girling Putin and wake up to reality. Russia might lose this fight. I'm not sure if that's a good or bad thing TBH but it is what it is. The truth is if Putin didn't have nukes NATO upon seeing how horribly Russia did in the first few months would have pulled a Libya on Russia and Putin would already be dead in a ditch just like Qaddafi.
As things stand right now Ukraine might just decide to take territory from Russia because they can. What is Putin going to do lob a nuke at them and start WW fucking three? No he will sue for peace and Ukraine can dictate the terms... the border goes back to pre-Crimea invasion. Fuck off you just got tens of thousands killed for nothing. And owe we want reparations. Putin would be the laughing stock or the world till the day he dies. We aren't there yet, but that has become a REAL possibility. All the Putin fans need to brace themselves. Reality is a bitch.
Just like Russia lost to Georgia, and Syria, and Chechnya right? They have defeated American-backed forces more than once in the last decade alone. They will easily do so again. Russia has not shown its heavy hand yet in an attempt to spare the civilian population. They have acted with extreme moderation.
I hate to burst your bubble, but the Russians are in full retreat right now. I hadn't looked at the reports in the past 12-24 hours when I wrote my post above and its even worse than it was yesterday. The Russian reinforcements were pure smoke and mirrors. Kharkiv is now in Ukraine's hands and several of the major supply lines that go to Sievierodonetsk are now cut off, both road and railway. If things keep going well for Ukraine they will retake that whole area and the Russians won't have the supplies to defend it. All the Russian gains are being undone.
All three of your examples are totally different than what is happening right now. Did the USA send the Georgians HIMARs, M-777, and lots of ammo? No. Pretty sure they didn't even send them basic stuff like AT4 much less Javelins, Stingers etc. You people need to wake up. Russia isn't a freaking supper power anymore. They aren't even a 1st world military any more. Its a little sad really. Its not a done deal but things are looking pretty bad for Russia ATM. Down-voting me just proves the truth hurts.
"We can say that today was the best ever, the second best ever, day for the Russians in the territory of Ukraine. Something must be changed. If you ask what the Russian should change, to tell the truth, I don't know. But I believe, if they don't change anything after this situation, that means there is no need to continue this Special Operation. Because the Ukrainians managed to collect a big number of infantry. Some sources are saying, joking of course they are joking, that now the Ukrainians these days have a so big army that the Ukrainian authorities can give them just stones. And this army is able to crack the Russians' defense order just with stones because there are so much of them."
The simplistic view that "quantity has a quality of its own," is usually attributed to Joseph Stalin, the Georgian leader of the Soviet Union during the second World War (as well as before and after).
Stalin was wrong, as the Second Battle of Kharkov, mentioned here yesterday, provides. In May 1942, near Izium, the Nazis thoroughly defeated a counterattacking Soviet force twice their forces size.
Statement by the official representative of the Russian Ministry of Defense
*"In order to achieve the stated goals of the special military operation to liberate Donbass, a decision was made to regroup the Russian troops stationed in the Balakleya and Izyum regions to build up efforts in the Donetsk direction.
To this end, within three days, an operation was carried out to curtail and organize the transfer of the Izyum-Balakley group of troops to the territory of the Donetsk People's Republic.
During this operation, a number of distraction and demonstration activities were carried out with the designation of the real actions of the troops.
In order to prevent damage to Russian troops, a powerful fire defeat was inflicted on the enemy using aviation, missile troops and artillery.
Over three days, more than two thousand Ukrainian and foreign fighters were destroyed, as well as over a hundred units of armored vehicles and artillery."*
Has that been the plan all along?
In retrospect that seems likely. The Russian military must have know that the Ukrainian attack was coming. There was only light resistance against the Ukrainian attack. Major Russian units had already been moved out of the area. The region did not have any public priority in Russian planing. A larger fight would have cost many Russian soldier and civilian lives.
So there were no cunning plans to surround the Ukrainian forces and no real disaster or success on either side.
Well, that is at least what the Russian military says. It also fits to the known facts.
There may be another reason why the Russian military did not want to fight for Izium. In May 1942, during the Second Battle of Kharkov, a Soviet counterattack on Nazi held Kharkov was defeated by two pre-planned Nazi attacks south and north of Izium.
The Ukrainian offensive here is near identical to the Nazi offensive that existed in the same place in WW2.
The Soviet counterattack ended in a bloody defeat:
"On 17 May, the German 3rd Panzer Corps and XXXXIV Army Corps under the command of Fedor von Bock, supported by aircraft, arrived, enabling the Germans to launch Operation Fridericus, pushing back the Soviet Barvenkovo bridgehead to the south. On 18 May, [Marshal Semyon] Timoshenko requested permission to fall back, but Stalin rejected the request. On 19 May, Paulus launched a general offensive to the north as Bock's troops advanced in the south, thus attempting to surround the Soviets in the Izium salient. Realizing the risk of having entire armies surrounded, Stalin authorized the withdraw, but by that time the Soviet forces were already started to be closed in. On 20 May, the nearly surrounded Soviet forces mounted counteroffensives, but none of the attempts were successful in breaking through the German lines. The Soviets achieved some small victories on 21 and 22 May, but by 24 May, they were surrounded near Kharkov."
...
The Second Battle of Kharkov resulted in an extremely costly loss to the Soviets, which saw 207,000 men killed, wounded, or captured; some estimates put the number as high as 240,000. Over 1,000 Soviet tanks were destroyed during this battle, as well as the loss of 57,000 horses. German losses were much smaller than the Soviets, with over 20,000 killed, wounded, or captured. Soviet General Georgy Zhukov later blamed this major defeat on Stalin, who underestimated German strength in the region and failed to prepare an adequate reserve force to counter the arrival of the German reinforcement that turned the tide.
This sounds plausible. I don't believe that Ukraine all of a sudden is able to to put the Russians into full retreat. No way. The media is having a big party, "Ukraine is winning the war, this is a turning point, Russia will finally be defeated". Bullshit.
On July 7, in a session with Duma leaders and party factions heads, Putin said:
"Today we hear that they want to defeat us on the battlefield. Well, what can I say? Let them try. We have already heard a lot about the West wanting to fight us ”to the last Ukrainian.“ This is a tragedy for the Ukrainian people, but that seems to be where it is going. But everyone should know that, by and large, we have not started anything in earnest yet."
Russia has been fighting with one-hand tied behind its back and using only its best thumb.
See in the far right column the "Field uniform insignia" matches. That is a Russian Lieutenant colonel and his driver. He's in charge of an entire battalion(that's maybe 1000+ men) but he's been captured. Totally normal. Nothing to see here.
I've studied various maps throughout this whole thing and while they aren't perfect they are generally accurate(to within 24-72 hours of what's happening). There is TONS of video evidence to support that they are accurate ATM, such as the one above, and videos of Ukrainians forces on the roof of buildings showing a specific formerly Russian held towns skyline. If this shit is fake is it literally tens if not hundreds of millions of dollars of edited and computer graphic video. More importantly the Russian's simply aren't talking or they give obvious false info Baghdad Bob style bullshit with zero detail.
I'll sum this up. The Russians are still holding their ground in the east and south. The north has completely collapsed. The Russian troops are running away so quickly that when a truck, tank, or BMP etc breaks down they just leave it on the side of the road. They don't even take the time to scuttle or sabotage it. They just grab everything that will fit on the other vehicles and leave it sitting there for the Ukrainians chasing them to find and repair. Its a literal cluster fuck. I've seen like 20 credible videos of abandoned vehicles.
One video was of an obvious supply area/very large barn. There were like 6 Ural trucks and 2-3 grad rocket launcher trucks with big a Z on the side. Every one the hood was opened up. Someone took 5-10 min to try and fix it then said fuck it and got in the working truck to flee the area.
This is exactly why the Russians are losing. Its so obvious, to me at least. Their equipment was all in piss poor shape to start with they just had shit-tons of it. After months of war half of it doesn't work and they don't even have parts to fix it. When you combine that with Ukraine blowing up tons of stuff that DID work... you get a VERY ugly picture. The mighty Russian machine reached its limit.
Now look at the next part of the puzzle. There had been little to no real fighting in the north for weeks on end. Ukraine was set to attack in the south. They were clearly massing troops. The Russians took their good working equipment from the north and moved a lot of it to the south in order to bolster their defenses. Ukraine (really the CIA) tricked them though. They used HIMARS to blow up those two key bridges. That trapped most of the working equipment in the south... but cut off resupply and escape. Yet in the north it left a paper thin defense line which they attacked just to see how strong it really was and it collapsed completely.
The problem is right now the Ukrainians up north are making their way east virtually unopposed. In a few days they are going to be headed back south BEHIND the current Russian lines in Donetsk. Its either that or they are going to invade Russia. When they turn south even more troops will have to decide to risk being cut off or run the fuck away. The momentum is completely on Ukraine's side.
Nothing is guaranteed, but all indications are Russia is totally fucked. The only way they can fix this is to pull troops from other places like NATO border bases which will leave that lightly/undefended. Even if they do that it might take them a week to figure out the logistics. This whole damn war might literally be over in a week at the current pace Ukraine is setting.
Understand now? Russia is fucked. That's just the facts on the ground. If they were a competent 1st world army with good equipment and disciplined professional solders they COULD recover from this. And if they do I will be impressed, but they aren't. They are a 3rd world military with degraded poorly maintained aged/ancient equipment and poor training. They will be slow and ineffective which will allow the Ukrainians to keep right on overwhelming them.
The only advantage and only reason Russian won ANY fight in this whole war was massive artillery barrages and large numbers of troops. They are now out of ammo(because the depot was either blown up by HIMARS or the bridge to get more was blown up) and half their guns are either at end of life from being used too much or they've been blown up. PLUS all their towing/grad trucks are breaking down from poor maintenance. Any one of those can be compensated for, but all of them together have made the Russian forces ineffective. Ukraine on the other hand has brand new M-777 guns and plenty of trucks/ammo. They have fewer of them BUT THEY ARE EFFECTIVE. AND they have what... a dozen or more insanely accurate HIMARS...
Nope, "I am not joking". If you believe in Kiev News and the MSM I guess your statement of " Russia has flattened whole cities" is the narrative.
Any Ukraine sourced material hasn't been credible. In war, truth especially suffers due to propaganda. The same credibility issue could be said of Russia, except Russia has been consistently more measured and consistent with the reports than Kiev has. The two leaders, one being a sadistic comedian, who on stage played the piano with his pecker and also has no issue of cross-dressing on national TV, compared to the other, who is a Russian Eastern Orthodox Christian and reestablished the Christian church in Russia, is hated by the Western Satanic Cabal. This gives me a good sense of who more to believe.
So all those long videos taken from drones of Sievierodonetsk as a pile of ruble were fake. We are talking Hollywood big budget movie grade computer effects that would cost millions of dollars were used to make multiple fake videos and google earth has fake satellite pics too?
I decided to check and google is using an old image from months ago that doesn't show the damage. If there was a propaganda campaign by the globalist side they would have changed that already to show the massive damage. They don't need to. Its obvious to anyone with half a brain. There are literally 100s of videos showing the damage.
Forget the subject of the video. Look at the buildings. Every one of them has been hit by artilery from both sides, but mostly Russia. You can't just put a little Spackle and paint over that. 90% of those buildings will have to be torn down and replaced.
I can't find it ATM but there is another small village that the Russians just flattened. Its like maybe 100 houses in 6-8 nice neat rows and every one is just burnt rubble.
You're like the leftist with TDS. You are so concerned about that idiot Zalensky's cross dressing you can't be bothered to pay attention to reality. He's a figurehead for the deep state. We all know it. He's not really in charge.
People on this board have lost their way. I tell them the truth and they down-vote me like I'm a heretic because I dared to disrupt their narrative.
Your posts here seem somewhat combative and contentious. The antipathy is unwelcome though. As a personal rule, I will never use ad hominems as you seem to be doing here nor will I down-vote anyone. You can be assured that this is not going to happen with me. I'll only seek to understand the other person's thesis and position. I may disagree, but I will always respect the other person's position.
To return to the Russian and Ukrainian conflict, the UkroNazis have previously declared genocide against the Russian speaking people of Donesk. This is not central to my reply so I will not provide the history of it at this time, but nevertheless it is the reason why the Crimea made their choice to be part of Russia. It is the same reason why the Donbass is acting to do the same.
You declared Russia did the bombing when Ukraine has been continuously bombing civilian areas of cities in the Donbass. For example, the hospital in Mariupol that Kiev claimed Russia bombed turned out to be the UkroNazis. First, war is hell; war is chaos and anarchy, and there is no such thing as a 'surgical strike'. Everything in war is collateral damage. But, the propaganda from war is the stuff made for fictional movies. In stating this, I'm not saying Russia hasn't bombed civilian areas. It's bound to happen, especially when military forces are set up in civilian dwellings. All of this is possible. It appears the Zelinsky regime doesn't cares less about casualties and far less than the Russians do. Estimates of Ukrainian loses is over 225 thousand so far since February. They had a real opportunity to end the war in April. However, Boris Johnson demanded Zelinsky do otherwise. To me, this really speaks volumes about Zelinsky. It is looking more true everyday that the Biden Administration is willing to fight to the very last Ukrainian and Zelinsky is satisfied with that. We know that Vladimir Zelinsky is not a rational politician or decision maker. He is an actor who pretends to have a huge dick with which he can play a piano (vid). Everything that he and his producer team in Kiev do must be seen in that light. They are playing to the Ukrainian and 'western' public for personal profits. It explains Zelinsky's $35 million villa in Miami and 70% of all the American military aid that goes missing in Ukraine. Each of their moves is calculated with that in mind. Telling the truth and the welfare of the local population are of no concern to them. When you said -- "If there was a propaganda campaign by the globalist side they would have changed that already to show the massive damage."
Regretably, you're not really in a position to know this as verifiable fact (either am I). It is however speculation on your part. These Satanic propagandists are not always smart and do make mistakes, but they definitely control the levers of mass media.
On July 7, in a session with Duma leaders and party factions heads, Putin said:
"Today we hear that they want to defeat us on the battlefield. Well, what can I say? Let them try. We have already heard a lot about the West wanting to fight us ”to the last Ukrainian.“ This is a tragedy for the Ukrainian people, but that seems to be where it is going. But everyone should know that, by and large, we have not started anything in earnest yet."
You're probibly right about me using ad-hom wording and being combative. I probibly shouldn't do that regardless. However the fact is its in response to people on these boards being so pro-Russian that they have attacked me in far worse ways. I figured out the reason a while back. The answer is obvious... they are Russian nationals. I'm American. What are you? I rarely even speak up about the war because I know I will just get shouted down unfairly.
You spent a lot of time talking about Zelinsky and his stupid masters. Then you talk about the Nazi factions in Ukraine. I'm sure they exist but they just like any other radical group do not represent the whole of Ukraine. I know this for a FACT. My nephew spent two years in Ukraine for his Mormon mission just a few years back. You and Russia act like Azov is the entirety of the whole military. Its what 1-2 battalions... out of like hundreds.
And Zelinsky... kek he's an idiot and joke. Who cares what he does. We all know the CIA is running this war.
I tried to address your claim... that Russia is carrying out a "soft war". That's utter crap. Also, I never claimed Ukraine was innocent. I CERTAINLY never claimed Azov and crew were. Both sides have done a lot of messed up crap. However, to the people on GAW Ukraine is the bad guy in every situation. They can do no right. They even get blamed for shit Russia actually did. Everything is globalist propaganda. Real Russian propaganda is dismissed as Ukrainian. Its just sad.
There is a more important fact that I want to make quite clear so I'm going to scream it at the top of my lungs. RUSSIA IS NOW LOSING! BADLY!!! Are we on the same page? That's not propaganda. Its not a globalist ploy to fool the world. Its just the hard facts on the ground backed up by dozens and dozens of amateur videos from multiple sources ON BOTH SIDES. They can't all be fake. In fact almost none of them have even been challenged as even maybe being faked.
Thus the strike on Ukraine's power infrastructure is purely a way to punish Ukraine and might even be a desperate ploy to slow down their complete rout of Russia in the north. Nothing more. Nothing less. See this post for further details.
One more thing... you said that Ukraine had an opportunity to end the war in April. What you really mean is they can capitulate to Putin and allow him to keep the territory he took by force just to stop the fighting. In other words Putin wins by default. Instead they kept fighting and they are now winning. You do realize(and I say this from the USA perspective) that what you are suggesting would be like if the USA attacked and took the entire eastern half of Canada and you said that the UK, AU, etc should all stop helping Canada so they can sue for peace and allow the USA to just keep half of Canada because... reasons.
It doesn't make a lick of sense. The territory is either part of Ukraine and they should fight for it or borders mean NOTHING. Every nation should just blast their weak neighbor and take whatever part of their territory they want for whatever reason they want. Like Canada wants the USA bread basket they should just take it. Brazil wants Venezuela's oil... just invade and take it. Total chaos. No big deal. SMH...
You are suggesting that when Saddam invaded Kuwait in 1991 that everyone should have just let him keep it. He won it fair and square. Those damn Kuwaitis had a few Nazi's in their midst anyway. Saddam had every right to de-Nazify them and sense he did he can just keep the territory. Pure madness. Its like we've regressed back to the 1500s.
If Putin is a white-hat that is part of the Q plan then HE FAILED at his task SPECTACULARLY. If he's not then he's just another thug trying to steal from his neighbor and you idiots are supporting/rooting for him. The fact that the person he's stealing from is a globalist puppet doesn't make it not stealing. Putin isn't freeing anyone. He's just a different puppet master.
Worse, now he's losing. He will end up the laughing stock of the world till the day he dies which I suspect might come very soon. His own people are going to throw him away once his failure is complete. Weak "strong men" rarely last long.
We'll see though. Battle isn't over. Maybe Russia will surprise us and somehow recover from this mess.
We are all intelligent fellows here. As a retiree and one ol' fart I value each and everyone's thoughts (even if I stink up the room on occasion). This old dog loves to hear the thoughts and perspective that each and everyone has. I truly do.
You asked - "I'm American. What are you?" Well, I'm American too. And colonial American as well. I don't know of another that lost so many members of their own family fighting in the Revolutionary War. There is 24 members that lost their lives fighting the British. You probably never heard my family name and the history books aren't inclusive either. That's quite alright with me though. I" prefer it this way. My family members have fought in every American war. From the time of King Phillips War and before to the present, it may be that my family has shed more blood than any other. My family goes further back to settling on these Massachusetts shores in 1636. Prior to this we trace the family to the midlands in England in the early 1500s. So yes, I am just as American as you.
You said - "I'm sure they [Nazis] exist but they just like any other radical group do not represent the whole of Ukraine."
The current Ukrainian government is based on the ideology of the neo-Nazi Stepan Bandera, who collaborated with Nazi Germany. When Nazi Germany invaded the Soviet Union on 22 June 1941, he prepared the 30 June 1941 Proclamation of Ukrainian statehood in Lviv, pledging to work with Nazi Germany. However, the German authorities saw it as an attempted coup and the Gestapo arrested him. Stepan Bandera is the current Ukraine government's revered hero.
The neo-Nazi Maidan was/is the dominant political force in Ukraine. Victoria Nuland provided the Soros sponsored US funding to MAIDAN. Nuland saw her big chance on Feb. 20, 2014, when a 'mysterious' sniper – apparently firing from a building controlled by the Right Sektor – shot and killed both police and protesters, escalating the crisis. On Feb. 21, in a desperate bid to avert more violence, Yanukovych agreed to a European-guaranteed plan in which he accepted reduced powers and called for early elections so he could be voted out of office.
For her part, Nuland passed out cookies to anti-Yanukovych demonstrators at the Maidan square, where the sniper massacre occurred and reminded Ukrainian business leaders that the US had invested $5 billion in their “European aspirations. As throughout history, the people in Ukraine are not represented by their government. Unfortunately, Ukraine has a very long history of being conquered and never really being a nation. Formerly it was referred to as the 'Pale of Settlement', and has been a part of Poland, Ottoman Empire, Khazaria, Lithuania, Austro-Hungary Empire, Genghis and Kublai Khan Empire, the Hun Empire, Roman Empire,....., etc.
You said -- "I tried to address your claim... that Russia is carrying out a "soft war". That's utter crap."
This isn't my claim. This comes from the sources I mentioned earlier. Even Putin said on July 7, in a session with Duma leaders and party factions heads:
"Today we hear that they want to defeat us on the battlefield. Well, what can I say? Let them try. We have already heard a lot about the West wanting to fight us ”to the last Ukrainian.“ This is a tragedy for the Ukrainian people, but that seems to be where it is going. But everyone should know that, by and large, we have not started anything in earnest yet.
Russia has treated this as a "special operation" to save the Russian majority living in the Donbass from an admitted Ukro-Nazi plan of genocide. Out numbered initially by 3-to-1, the Russians have used their far superior artillery and missiles for a Ukrainian to Russian casualty ratio of 10-to-1. It is estimated that 225 thousand Ukos have been killed since February. Ukraine has no military industry and the shipping logistics of foreign weapons will not help Ukraine's situation when Russia initiates a more full force war operation. Just like the Nazi Germans in WWII in Ukraine, the Soviets ended up having superior number of artillery and weapons to which forced the Nazis to retreat.
"If Putin is a white-hat that is part of the Q plan then HE FAILED at his task SPECTACULARLY."
There's far more about Putin than you may know. For one thing, Putin actually implemented a Russian version of 'Operation Warp Speed 2 months before Trump enacted Operation Warp Speed'. It's ironic that both these were near identical. It worked more effectively in Russia than in the United States. The reason was because the Fake News in America doesn't exist in Russia. Operation Warp Speed prevented the momentum of the lock-downs from going globally. Instead, there was only sporadic implementation of lock-downs in governments across the world. The Cabal was depending on the lock-downs to implement mandatory vaxxxination worldwide. And it if it had occurred hundreds of millions of people would have died. The expectation was over 1.25 billion would have perished. As we have learned, the lock-downs around the world killed far more people than the so-called 'COVID' "virus" did. It is estimated that 38 million people died from the lock-downs.
Did Putin and Trump know the Plandemic was going to occur? I find it ironic that Putin initiated the same plan 2 months before Trump did. Is Putin a "white hat"? I know that Putin kicked the Rothschild Central bank out of Russia. This Ukrainian-Russian conflict is a result of Putin throttling the Rothschild central bank of Russia years ago. Trump did the same thing in throttling the Federal Reserve while he was in office. We all know what happened to Trump, but Putin also did the same thing with great success.
That's a hard thing to deal with, the folks running powerplants are almost certainly a good lot, its a shame to think any of them would get hit.
Although if you were trying to cut the power without hitting people, its not impossible. Especially if the Russians plan on taking over the power plants later, they would want the main infrastructure in tact.
Unmanned sub stations would be easy targets to hit and do both objectives. First one out from the plant would kill everything down line and back feed into the plants tripping every breaker shutting it down without destroying it.
Just speculating, but it really seems like Russia wants to keep the infrastructure intact, particularly with winter around the corner. Unless they were desperate, it wouldn’t make sense for a direct power station attack. Perhaps they targeted the lines or a substation?
That being said, I'm not 100% sold on the whole Russia's doing everything morale and for the greater good and isn't propagandizing. But I am more skeptical of our American bullshit narratives and support for Ukraine and we're definitely propagandizing.
I'm not sold that they are doing it for the greater good either but Putin is fighting our enemy and our enemy is really evil therefore i want him to win at any cost
Ukraine Rambo Zelensky will go up against the entie Russian army like we were told he was doing months back.
He just needs 100 billion to continue doing so.
About time they stopped pussy footing around.
Why would they wait to do this after the queens death...? They could have done this probably sooner. I wonder why they waited?
The DPR/LPR were mainly working the area of Donetsk with Russian Military there in some instances providing immediate fire power and air support. Both the Chechens and the Wagner Group have been in there as well. The majority (80%) of the Russian Military have not been in Ukraine yet. There has been all sorts of rumours that Russia has suffered heavy casualties fighting around the Kherson and Kharkov regions. While there were some casualties, nothing in the vicinity of what the Nazis have suffered - around 5000 dead and another 8000 casualties in 4 days and numbers still rising. Zelinsky had to prove that the West’s money was being well spent so they concocted this plan of their big push of 10,000 troops. There are people commenting that Russia has failed etc. but do you really think that Russian intelligence as well as intercepts leaves Russia not knowing what is going on? They’ve set a trap and NATO et al have fallen in. Russia rules the skies. In the last couple of hours, the air aid sirens have been going off all over Ukraine. Electricity as stated has been interrupted and a good part of the area has no power which means in some instances, no social media. But news is getting thru in some areas and the Ukraine Nazi Military and their NATO/Pentagon owners are being decimated.
UK has a new CIC and a new PM also,
maybe there was a need to wait for the 2 new bods to assume positions before they got shafted ?
I just hope Biden doesn't send our troops over there. Nato isn't just going to sit there and do nothing.
So I don't know if I am happy that Putin is doing this.
Biden doesn't have the power to send troops over there or be would of already done it......
This guy seems to believe that Biden is still the CIC.
He also has a Congress majority.

It’s easy to see Ukraine is the deep states deadman’s switch. Parking there operation right next to a nuclear opponents front door, so the whole world can go down with them.
I don’t know the full story of Russia, but I do know Zelenskyy is a DS puppet and an enemy of ours.
Russia is weakening our enemy.
LOL like that would stop this admin?
Like they're looking out for our best interests?
Nothing like starting Monday morning with a good belly laugh :)
OK, but they exposed Biden and about four dozen biolabs, which are now reportedly non-functional
Obsession = exaggeration; we just want the nationalist, anti-globalist, anti-WEF side to win
If NATO sends troops… Germany freezes to death this winter. NATO ain’t doing shit.
You’re not going to see two nuclear powers in a land war.

Ah, I was expecting the ten days of darkness, but that's an even better fit.
Ten days of darnkess.
Not darkness.
So there is a book called Three Days Of Darnkess that's about three days of hell on Earth. It was a misspelling when the publisher did it too but they caught it too late and just ran it.
It's an interesting coincidence.
Maybe darNKess; New King?
Ah thanks for that! I just ordered the book, sounds like an intense read.
Ten days. Darkness. No preposition or adverb "of," "with," "for," "through," "before," "after," etc. to specify the relationship. And that holds whether it is "darkness" or "darnkess."
Very uncanny, I was just looking at post 64 right before I seen this thread.
I was looking because X22 Dave referenced a new Scavino post near the end of his new video, which was for a post made, video was 1:04 seconds long, so he referenced post 104.
But I thought of the total seconds instead, so was looking at 64. Very interesting.
If you want something done right, it’s best to do it yourself.
If you enemy sabotages it’s own assets and blames you for it, you can conclude two things
1- your enemy feels they have a better chance of wining the propaganda war instead of a military war
2- if you’re gonna get blamed for it anyway, you might as well do it yourself and do it the right way
Exactly right. The reality of the situation is that Russia is winning the physical war while the west is winning the propaganda war. And while propaganda is a key component of warfare, you can't win on propaganda alone. At some point as Russia continues to swat around the Ukrainian military it'll become too obvious they're losing and they'll have to come to the negotiating table.
In the meantime we'll keep throwing money down the drain and they'll keep throwing their peoples' lives away.
Only a fraction of the money is being thrown away. I'll betcha 90% or more is coming right back to the us of a. Not to us of course. We know where its going.
So far, the Russian military has waged a “soft” war, avoiding attacks on strategic infrastructure facilities in Ukraine in an attempt to minimize damage to the civilian population. Such a strategy has already slowed down the Russian advance on the battlefields and increased losses among the Russian military.
Amid Russia’s recent losses in the Kharkiv region, the Russian military has probably switched to tougher methods of warfare, which are necessary for victory. If so, this marks the beginning of it. Ukraine is fighting a scorched earth type of warfare, but are under-manned and even more so in regards to fire power. This is why 20% of the Ukro-Nazi force is now foreigners. Russian speaking citizens living in the Kharkiv-Izium region who worked with or even took aid from Russian troops will pay the heaviest price. Let's pray they are able to escape.
Notice the Russian side has yet to confirm the attacks. There is a chance that Kiev struck at its own facilities in order to blame Russia for the attacks and justify military actions on the Russian territory, while Ukrainian forces are approaching the Russian border in the Kharkov region. The Ukro-Nazis are already firing artillery at the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant, which could cause major contamination of radiation, and are looking to blame Russia for the disaster.
By judging how quickly Zelensky condemned Russia for the blackout, my gut right now is telling me that the UkroNazis did this to justify attacks on the Russian homeland. Targeting Russian cities like Belgorod has been occurring for some time now.
I believe it is inevitable that the Russians will be forced to to amp-up their warfare on the Ukro-Nazis.
I have seen reports on intel_slava_z (Telegram) that the attacks have been prosecuted with sea-launched cruise missiles (video of launches and arrivals). One power plant has been hit and inoperable. The trains have stopped working. A satellite photo shows nighttime Ukraine as a big dark blot. If it is a self-inflicted wound, it looks to be close to fatal.
u/Tewdryg There is no reason for the Ukrainians to destroy their own power plants, because their mostly electrified trains are integral to their logistics. As a result of the blackouts, the Ukrainian military trains stopped dead, where they became sitting ducks for Russian missiles.
Dima on YT gives more detail here in this video.
Ukraine.Military Summary And Analysis Of Strikes Against Critical Infrastructure Facilities 12.09.22
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYbtKbJ37-M
You may be right. I don't know. That's really my point. So far the Russians are quiet on the issue though. Nevertheless, this doesn't mean they didn't target the electrical infrastructure. It would be logical that the Russians ought to do this and would mark the beginning of a more comprehensive military strategy. The "soft war" they have been fighting is no longer effective. It was designed to protect the Ukrainian people from destruction and bloodshed and to focus only on UkroNazi military assets. It's understandable why the Russians chose this path, especially with a large population of Russian speakers in the Donbass. The UkroNazis however easily learned this strategy and is the reason why they repeatedly set up military assets in civilian areas using public schools and hospitals as command centers. It's despicable using civilians as human shields. But, this is precisely the character of government we are dealing with. This has worked to their advantage and Kiev with their Western Cabal financiers have been winning the propaganda war, but not the actual war itself.
Russia needs to turn the page from this "soft war" and initiate a more encompassing strategic plan for winning this war. The stakes are too high. The UkroNazi artillery targeting on Russian civilian centers is an act of war. Russia ought to realize this and change tactics. It makes sense your premise may be correct, that is, only if Russia is finally turning the page for a more comprehensive military strategy.
Lastly, any Ukraine sourced material hasn't been credible. In war, truth especially suffers due to propaganda. The same credibility issue could be said of Russia, except Russia has been consistently more measured and consistent with the reports than Kiev has. The two leaders, one being a sadistic comedian, who on stage played the piano with his pecker and also has no issue of cross-dressing on national TV, compared the other, who himself is a Russian Eastern Orthodox Christian and reestablished the Christian church in Russia is hated by the Western Satanic Cabal. This gives me a good sense of who more to believe.
Thank you for this update. There's a very good analysis of this that appears to b e marking the new phase of strategy and also closing the Russian "soft war" as it is no longer effective. The withdrawal from the Khakiv-Izium region is also an interesting tactic explained on this thread. Look for more of my commentary to find this analysis or find it from -- "Ukraine - Russian Military Explains Its Withdrawal From The Izium Region"
If they start attacking the Russian motherland i think this may be heading towards nuclear conflict
I hope not. Russia officials keep stating that nuclear war could happen. Russia has offended the Rothschild fractional reserve banking system by ending it in Russia. The wars the world is fighting is uni-polar versus multi-polar financial ideology. The uni-polar is the Rothschild one world digital fractional reserve banking system versus BRICS multi-polar system to which leading nation governments control a basket of reserve currencies.
Russia has for many years muzzled the Rothschild central bank in Russia and because it the City of London along with its puppet nation members have sought to overthrow Putin's Russia. This is why the color revolution in Ukraine occurred in 2014. The West was preparing Ukraine to attack the belly of Russia by bio-weapon releases and militarily. In the United States, Trump also took steps to muzzle the Federal Reserve. And we saw the coup d'etat that occurred. It is for the same reason, the democrats/RINOS approved of 87 thousand IRS agents to go after MAGA supporters.
You're joking right? Russia has flattened whole cities. If Ukraine dares to fight back Russia just blast the entire city to dust with artillery, but its a soft war? You need to pull your head out of your ass. Go look at the pictures of Sievierodonetsk. Its nothing but rubble.
I've yet to pick a side in the politics of this fight because I have my doubts about Putin being a white-hat, but I track the FACTS when it comes to the actual fight. Russia is now losing. Or at least it looks like they are. It might be a cleaver trick or turn into a battle of the bulge moment where Ukraine ends up like Germany but so far Russia is just getting their ass handed to them over the past few days.
Russia is lashing out because its afraid and they want to punish Ukraine for daring to defeat them. Putin's war machine is a broken down dodge pickup truck. Ukraine... probibly with CIA help... has figured out the secret sauce to defeat them. Most importantly Russia is not adapting quickly enough or in some cases NOT AT ALL. Russian equipment barely works. Corrupt officers stole all the money to maintain them. Yeah, they have 10 times as many tanks as Ukraine... WHEN THEY WORK.
Stop listening to that stupid fuck-tard Zalinsky and stop watching fucking RT propaganda. Go look at the strategic maps and look at the real videos people post on Reddit(yeah I know cancer) that show real troops have taken real towns. It shows the whole picture pretty damn well. A fucking Russian LT COLONEL got taken captive by Ukraine. That's a person in charge of a battalion. That's anywhere from 500-2000 men. His area was overrun so badly he and his driver were captured.

Whatever. Everyone on this board needs to stop fan-girling Putin and wake up to reality. Russia might lose this fight. I'm not sure if that's a good or bad thing TBH but it is what it is. The truth is if Putin didn't have nukes NATO upon seeing how horribly Russia did in the first few months would have pulled a Libya on Russia and Putin would already be dead in a ditch just like Qaddafi.
As things stand right now Ukraine might just decide to take territory from Russia because they can. What is Putin going to do lob a nuke at them and start WW fucking three? No he will sue for peace and Ukraine can dictate the terms... the border goes back to pre-Crimea invasion. Fuck off you just got tens of thousands killed for nothing. And owe we want reparations. Putin would be the laughing stock or the world till the day he dies. We aren't there yet, but that has become a REAL possibility. All the Putin fans need to brace themselves. Reality is a bitch.
Just like Russia lost to Georgia, and Syria, and Chechnya right? They have defeated American-backed forces more than once in the last decade alone. They will easily do so again. Russia has not shown its heavy hand yet in an attempt to spare the civilian population. They have acted with extreme moderation.
I hate to burst your bubble, but the Russians are in full retreat right now. I hadn't looked at the reports in the past 12-24 hours when I wrote my post above and its even worse than it was yesterday. The Russian reinforcements were pure smoke and mirrors. Kharkiv is now in Ukraine's hands and several of the major supply lines that go to Sievierodonetsk are now cut off, both road and railway. If things keep going well for Ukraine they will retake that whole area and the Russians won't have the supplies to defend it. All the Russian gains are being undone.
All three of your examples are totally different than what is happening right now. Did the USA send the Georgians HIMARs, M-777, and lots of ammo? No. Pretty sure they didn't even send them basic stuff like AT4 much less Javelins, Stingers etc. You people need to wake up. Russia isn't a freaking supper power anymore. They aren't even a 1st world military any more. Its a little sad really. Its not a done deal but things are looking pretty bad for Russia ATM. Down-voting me just proves the truth hurts.
What reports do you refer to? The media? Could you provide solid intel about the Russians being in full retreat, please?
crickets
You suffer, but why?
Raaaaawwr
The following is an interesting analysis called -- "The Izium Withdrawal - A Catalyst For 'Starting In Earnest'"
"We can say that today was the best ever, the second best ever, day for the Russians in the territory of Ukraine. Something must be changed. If you ask what the Russian should change, to tell the truth, I don't know. But I believe, if they don't change anything after this situation, that means there is no need to continue this Special Operation. Because the Ukrainians managed to collect a big number of infantry. Some sources are saying, joking of course they are joking, that now the Ukrainians these days have a so big army that the Ukrainian authorities can give them just stones. And this army is able to crack the Russians' defense order just with stones because there are so much of them."
The above is the opener of Dima's Military Summary of yesterday's events in Ukraine.
The simplistic view that "quantity has a quality of its own," is usually attributed to Joseph Stalin, the Georgian leader of the Soviet Union during the second World War (as well as before and after).
Stalin was wrong, as the Second Battle of Kharkov, mentioned here yesterday, provides. In May 1942, near Izium, the Nazis thoroughly defeated a counterattacking Soviet force twice their forces size.
Statement by the official representative of the Russian Ministry of Defense
*"In order to achieve the stated goals of the special military operation to liberate Donbass, a decision was made to regroup the Russian troops stationed in the Balakleya and Izyum regions to build up efforts in the Donetsk direction.
To this end, within three days, an operation was carried out to curtail and organize the transfer of the Izyum-Balakley group of troops to the territory of the Donetsk People's Republic.
During this operation, a number of distraction and demonstration activities were carried out with the designation of the real actions of the troops.
In order to prevent damage to Russian troops, a powerful fire defeat was inflicted on the enemy using aviation, missile troops and artillery.
Over three days, more than two thousand Ukrainian and foreign fighters were destroyed, as well as over a hundred units of armored vehicles and artillery."*
Has that been the plan all along?
In retrospect that seems likely. The Russian military must have know that the Ukrainian attack was coming. There was only light resistance against the Ukrainian attack. Major Russian units had already been moved out of the area. The region did not have any public priority in Russian planing. A larger fight would have cost many Russian soldier and civilian lives.
So there were no cunning plans to surround the Ukrainian forces and no real disaster or success on either side.
Well, that is at least what the Russian military says. It also fits to the known facts.
There may be another reason why the Russian military did not want to fight for Izium. In May 1942, during the Second Battle of Kharkov, a Soviet counterattack on Nazi held Kharkov was defeated by two pre-planned Nazi attacks south and north of Izium.
The Ukrainian offensive here is near identical to the Nazi offensive that existed in the same place in WW2.
The Soviet counterattack ended in a bloody defeat:
"On 17 May, the German 3rd Panzer Corps and XXXXIV Army Corps under the command of Fedor von Bock, supported by aircraft, arrived, enabling the Germans to launch Operation Fridericus, pushing back the Soviet Barvenkovo bridgehead to the south. On 18 May, [Marshal Semyon] Timoshenko requested permission to fall back, but Stalin rejected the request. On 19 May, Paulus launched a general offensive to the north as Bock's troops advanced in the south, thus attempting to surround the Soviets in the Izium salient. Realizing the risk of having entire armies surrounded, Stalin authorized the withdraw, but by that time the Soviet forces were already started to be closed in. On 20 May, the nearly surrounded Soviet forces mounted counteroffensives, but none of the attempts were successful in breaking through the German lines. The Soviets achieved some small victories on 21 and 22 May, but by 24 May, they were surrounded near Kharkov." ...
The Second Battle of Kharkov resulted in an extremely costly loss to the Soviets, which saw 207,000 men killed, wounded, or captured; some estimates put the number as high as 240,000. Over 1,000 Soviet tanks were destroyed during this battle, as well as the loss of 57,000 horses. German losses were much smaller than the Soviets, with over 20,000 killed, wounded, or captured. Soviet General Georgy Zhukov later blamed this major defeat on Stalin, who underestimated German strength in the region and failed to prepare an adequate reserve force to counter the arrival of the German reinforcement that turned the tide.
This sounds plausible. I don't believe that Ukraine all of a sudden is able to to put the Russians into full retreat. No way. The media is having a big party, "Ukraine is winning the war, this is a turning point, Russia will finally be defeated". Bullshit.
On July 7, in a session with Duma leaders and party factions heads, Putin said:
"Today we hear that they want to defeat us on the battlefield. Well, what can I say? Let them try. We have already heard a lot about the West wanting to fight us ”to the last Ukrainian.“ This is a tragedy for the Ukrainian people, but that seems to be where it is going. But everyone should know that, by and large, we have not started anything in earnest yet."
Russia has been fighting with one-hand tied behind its back and using only its best thumb.
Is it the preddit MEAL TEAM SIX morbidly obese faggots?

See in the far right column the "Field uniform insignia" matches. That is a Russian Lieutenant colonel and his driver. He's in charge of an entire battalion(that's maybe 1000+ men) but he's been captured. Totally normal. Nothing to see here.
I've studied various maps throughout this whole thing and while they aren't perfect they are generally accurate(to within 24-72 hours of what's happening). There is TONS of video evidence to support that they are accurate ATM, such as the one above, and videos of Ukrainians forces on the roof of buildings showing a specific formerly Russian held towns skyline. If this shit is fake is it literally tens if not hundreds of millions of dollars of edited and computer graphic video. More importantly the Russian's simply aren't talking or they give obvious false info Baghdad Bob style bullshit with zero detail.

https://militaryland.net/
I'll sum this up. The Russians are still holding their ground in the east and south. The north has completely collapsed. The Russian troops are running away so quickly that when a truck, tank, or BMP etc breaks down they just leave it on the side of the road. They don't even take the time to scuttle or sabotage it. They just grab everything that will fit on the other vehicles and leave it sitting there for the Ukrainians chasing them to find and repair. Its a literal cluster fuck. I've seen like 20 credible videos of abandoned vehicles.
One video was of an obvious supply area/very large barn. There were like 6 Ural trucks and 2-3 grad rocket launcher trucks with big a Z on the side. Every one the hood was opened up. Someone took 5-10 min to try and fix it then said fuck it and got in the working truck to flee the area.
This is exactly why the Russians are losing. Its so obvious, to me at least. Their equipment was all in piss poor shape to start with they just had shit-tons of it. After months of war half of it doesn't work and they don't even have parts to fix it. When you combine that with Ukraine blowing up tons of stuff that DID work... you get a VERY ugly picture. The mighty Russian machine reached its limit.
Now look at the next part of the puzzle. There had been little to no real fighting in the north for weeks on end. Ukraine was set to attack in the south. They were clearly massing troops. The Russians took their good working equipment from the north and moved a lot of it to the south in order to bolster their defenses. Ukraine (really the CIA) tricked them though. They used HIMARS to blow up those two key bridges. That trapped most of the working equipment in the south... but cut off resupply and escape. Yet in the north it left a paper thin defense line which they attacked just to see how strong it really was and it collapsed completely.
The problem is right now the Ukrainians up north are making their way east virtually unopposed. In a few days they are going to be headed back south BEHIND the current Russian lines in Donetsk. Its either that or they are going to invade Russia. When they turn south even more troops will have to decide to risk being cut off or run the fuck away. The momentum is completely on Ukraine's side.
Nothing is guaranteed, but all indications are Russia is totally fucked. The only way they can fix this is to pull troops from other places like NATO border bases which will leave that lightly/undefended. Even if they do that it might take them a week to figure out the logistics. This whole damn war might literally be over in a week at the current pace Ukraine is setting.
Understand now? Russia is fucked. That's just the facts on the ground. If they were a competent 1st world army with good equipment and disciplined professional solders they COULD recover from this. And if they do I will be impressed, but they aren't. They are a 3rd world military with degraded poorly maintained aged/ancient equipment and poor training. They will be slow and ineffective which will allow the Ukrainians to keep right on overwhelming them.
The only advantage and only reason Russian won ANY fight in this whole war was massive artillery barrages and large numbers of troops. They are now out of ammo(because the depot was either blown up by HIMARS or the bridge to get more was blown up) and half their guns are either at end of life from being used too much or they've been blown up. PLUS all their towing/grad trucks are breaking down from poor maintenance. Any one of those can be compensated for, but all of them together have made the Russian forces ineffective. Ukraine on the other hand has brand new M-777 guns and plenty of trucks/ammo. They have fewer of them BUT THEY ARE EFFECTIVE. AND they have what... a dozen or more insanely accurate HIMARS...
Russia is fucked. That's just reality.
Nope, "I am not joking". If you believe in Kiev News and the MSM I guess your statement of " Russia has flattened whole cities" is the narrative.
Any Ukraine sourced material hasn't been credible. In war, truth especially suffers due to propaganda. The same credibility issue could be said of Russia, except Russia has been consistently more measured and consistent with the reports than Kiev has. The two leaders, one being a sadistic comedian, who on stage played the piano with his pecker and also has no issue of cross-dressing on national TV, compared to the other, who is a Russian Eastern Orthodox Christian and reestablished the Christian church in Russia, is hated by the Western Satanic Cabal. This gives me a good sense of who more to believe.
So all those long videos taken from drones of Sievierodonetsk as a pile of ruble were fake. We are talking Hollywood big budget movie grade computer effects that would cost millions of dollars were used to make multiple fake videos and google earth has fake satellite pics too?
I decided to check and google is using an old image from months ago that doesn't show the damage. If there was a propaganda campaign by the globalist side they would have changed that already to show the massive damage. They don't need to. Its obvious to anyone with half a brain. There are literally 100s of videos showing the damage.
https://youtu.be/YgpzR1MkTBw
Forget the subject of the video. Look at the buildings. Every one of them has been hit by artilery from both sides, but mostly Russia. You can't just put a little Spackle and paint over that. 90% of those buildings will have to be torn down and replaced.
I can't find it ATM but there is another small village that the Russians just flattened. Its like maybe 100 houses in 6-8 nice neat rows and every one is just burnt rubble.
You're like the leftist with TDS. You are so concerned about that idiot Zalensky's cross dressing you can't be bothered to pay attention to reality. He's a figurehead for the deep state. We all know it. He's not really in charge.
People on this board have lost their way. I tell them the truth and they down-vote me like I'm a heretic because I dared to disrupt their narrative.

Your posts here seem somewhat combative and contentious. The antipathy is unwelcome though. As a personal rule, I will never use ad hominems as you seem to be doing here nor will I down-vote anyone.

I may disagree, but I will always respect the other person's position.
To return to the Russian and Ukrainian conflict, the UkroNazis have previously declared genocide against the Russian speaking people of Donesk. This is not central to my reply so I will not provide the history of it at this time, but nevertheless it is the reason why the Crimea made their choice to be part of Russia. It is the same reason why the Donbass is acting to do the same.
You declared Russia did the bombing when Ukraine has been continuously bombing civilian areas of cities in the Donbass. For example, the hospital in Mariupol that Kiev claimed Russia bombed turned out to be the UkroNazis. First, war is hell; war is chaos and anarchy, and there is no such thing as a 'surgical strike'. Everything in war is collateral damage. But, the propaganda from war is the stuff made for fictional movies. In stating this, I'm not saying Russia hasn't bombed civilian areas. It's bound to happen, especially when military forces are set up in civilian dwellings. All of this is possible. It appears the Zelinsky regime doesn't cares less about casualties and far less than the Russians do. Estimates of Ukrainian loses is over 225 thousand so far since February. They had a real opportunity to end the war in April. However, Boris Johnson demanded Zelinsky do otherwise. To me, this really speaks volumes about Zelinsky. It is looking more true everyday that the Biden Administration is willing to fight to the very last Ukrainian and Zelinsky is satisfied with that. We know that Vladimir Zelinsky is not a rational politician or decision maker. He is an actor who pretends to have a huge dick with which he can play a piano (vid). Everything that he and his producer team in Kiev do must be seen in that light. They are playing to the Ukrainian and 'western' public for personal profits. It explains Zelinsky's $35 million villa in Miami and 70% of all the American military aid that goes missing in Ukraine. Each of their moves is calculated with that in mind. Telling the truth and the welfare of the local population are of no concern to them. When you said -- "If there was a propaganda campaign by the globalist side they would have changed that already to show the massive damage."
Regretably, you're not really in a position to know this as verifiable fact (either am I). It is however speculation on your part. These Satanic propagandists are not always smart and do make mistakes, but they definitely control the levers of mass media.
On July 7, in a session with Duma leaders and party factions heads, Putin said:
"Today we hear that they want to defeat us on the battlefield. Well, what can I say? Let them try. We have already heard a lot about the West wanting to fight us ”to the last Ukrainian.“ This is a tragedy for the Ukrainian people, but that seems to be where it is going. But everyone should know that, by and large, we have not started anything in earnest yet."
You're probibly right about me using ad-hom wording and being combative. I probibly shouldn't do that regardless. However the fact is its in response to people on these boards being so pro-Russian that they have attacked me in far worse ways. I figured out the reason a while back. The answer is obvious... they are Russian nationals. I'm American. What are you? I rarely even speak up about the war because I know I will just get shouted down unfairly.
You spent a lot of time talking about Zelinsky and his stupid masters. Then you talk about the Nazi factions in Ukraine. I'm sure they exist but they just like any other radical group do not represent the whole of Ukraine. I know this for a FACT. My nephew spent two years in Ukraine for his Mormon mission just a few years back. You and Russia act like Azov is the entirety of the whole military. Its what 1-2 battalions... out of like hundreds.
And Zelinsky... kek he's an idiot and joke. Who cares what he does. We all know the CIA is running this war.
I tried to address your claim... that Russia is carrying out a "soft war". That's utter crap. Also, I never claimed Ukraine was innocent. I CERTAINLY never claimed Azov and crew were. Both sides have done a lot of messed up crap. However, to the people on GAW Ukraine is the bad guy in every situation. They can do no right. They even get blamed for shit Russia actually did. Everything is globalist propaganda. Real Russian propaganda is dismissed as Ukrainian. Its just sad.
There is a more important fact that I want to make quite clear so I'm going to scream it at the top of my lungs. RUSSIA IS NOW LOSING! BADLY!!! Are we on the same page? That's not propaganda. Its not a globalist ploy to fool the world. Its just the hard facts on the ground backed up by dozens and dozens of amateur videos from multiple sources ON BOTH SIDES. They can't all be fake. In fact almost none of them have even been challenged as even maybe being faked.
Thus the strike on Ukraine's power infrastructure is purely a way to punish Ukraine and might even be a desperate ploy to slow down their complete rout of Russia in the north. Nothing more. Nothing less. See this post for further details.

One more thing... you said that Ukraine had an opportunity to end the war in April. What you really mean is they can capitulate to Putin and allow him to keep the territory he took by force just to stop the fighting. In other words Putin wins by default. Instead they kept fighting and they are now winning. You do realize(and I say this from the USA perspective) that what you are suggesting would be like if the USA attacked and took the entire eastern half of Canada and you said that the UK, AU, etc should all stop helping Canada so they can sue for peace and allow the USA to just keep half of Canada because... reasons.
It doesn't make a lick of sense. The territory is either part of Ukraine and they should fight for it or borders mean NOTHING. Every nation should just blast their weak neighbor and take whatever part of their territory they want for whatever reason they want. Like Canada wants the USA bread basket they should just take it. Brazil wants Venezuela's oil... just invade and take it. Total chaos. No big deal. SMH...
You are suggesting that when Saddam invaded Kuwait in 1991 that everyone should have just let him keep it. He won it fair and square. Those damn Kuwaitis had a few Nazi's in their midst anyway. Saddam had every right to de-Nazify them and sense he did he can just keep the territory. Pure madness. Its like we've regressed back to the 1500s.
If Putin is a white-hat that is part of the Q plan then HE FAILED at his task SPECTACULARLY. If he's not then he's just another thug trying to steal from his neighbor and you idiots are supporting/rooting for him. The fact that the person he's stealing from is a globalist puppet doesn't make it not stealing. Putin isn't freeing anyone. He's just a different puppet master.
Worse, now he's losing. He will end up the laughing stock of the world till the day he dies which I suspect might come very soon. His own people are going to throw him away once his failure is complete. Weak "strong men" rarely last long.
We'll see though. Battle isn't over. Maybe Russia will surprise us and somehow recover from this mess.
We are all intelligent fellows here. As a retiree and one ol' fart I value each and everyone's thoughts (even if I stink up the room on occasion). This old dog loves to hear the thoughts and perspective that each and everyone has. I truly do.
You asked - "I'm American. What are you?" Well, I'm American too. And colonial American as well. I don't know of another that lost so many members of their own family fighting in the Revolutionary War. There is 24 members that lost their lives fighting the British. You probably never heard my family name and the history books aren't inclusive either. That's quite alright with me though. I" prefer it this way. My family members have fought in every American war. From the time of King Phillips War and before to the present, it may be that my family has shed more blood than any other. My family goes further back to settling on these Massachusetts shores in 1636. Prior to this we trace the family to the midlands in England in the early 1500s. So yes, I am just as American as you.
You said - "I'm sure they [Nazis] exist but they just like any other radical group do not represent the whole of Ukraine."
The current Ukrainian government is based on the ideology of the neo-Nazi Stepan Bandera, who collaborated with Nazi Germany. When Nazi Germany invaded the Soviet Union on 22 June 1941, he prepared the 30 June 1941 Proclamation of Ukrainian statehood in Lviv, pledging to work with Nazi Germany. However, the German authorities saw it as an attempted coup and the Gestapo arrested him. Stepan Bandera is the current Ukraine government's revered hero.
The neo-Nazi Maidan was/is the dominant political force in Ukraine. Victoria Nuland provided the Soros sponsored US funding to MAIDAN. Nuland saw her big chance on Feb. 20, 2014, when a 'mysterious' sniper – apparently firing from a building controlled by the Right Sektor – shot and killed both police and protesters, escalating the crisis. On Feb. 21, in a desperate bid to avert more violence, Yanukovych agreed to a European-guaranteed plan in which he accepted reduced powers and called for early elections so he could be voted out of office.
For her part, Nuland passed out cookies to anti-Yanukovych demonstrators at the Maidan square, where the sniper massacre occurred and reminded Ukrainian business leaders that the US had invested $5 billion in their “European aspirations. As throughout history, the people in Ukraine are not represented by their government. Unfortunately, Ukraine has a very long history of being conquered and never really being a nation. Formerly it was referred to as the 'Pale of Settlement', and has been a part of Poland, Ottoman Empire, Khazaria, Lithuania, Austro-Hungary Empire, Genghis and Kublai Khan Empire, the Hun Empire, Roman Empire,....., etc.
You said -- "I tried to address your claim... that Russia is carrying out a "soft war". That's utter crap."
This isn't my claim. This comes from the sources I mentioned earlier. Even Putin said on July 7, in a session with Duma leaders and party factions heads:
"Today we hear that they want to defeat us on the battlefield. Well, what can I say? Let them try. We have already heard a lot about the West wanting to fight us ”to the last Ukrainian.“ This is a tragedy for the Ukrainian people, but that seems to be where it is going. But everyone should know that, by and large, we have not started anything in earnest yet.
Russia has treated this as a "special operation" to save the Russian majority living in the Donbass from an admitted Ukro-Nazi plan of genocide. Out numbered initially by 3-to-1, the Russians have used their far superior artillery and missiles for a Ukrainian to Russian casualty ratio of 10-to-1. It is estimated that 225 thousand Ukos have been killed since February. Ukraine has no military industry and the shipping logistics of foreign weapons will not help Ukraine's situation when Russia initiates a more full force war operation. Just like the Nazi Germans in WWII in Ukraine, the Soviets ended up having superior number of artillery and weapons to which forced the Nazis to retreat.
"If Putin is a white-hat that is part of the Q plan then HE FAILED at his task SPECTACULARLY."
There's far more about Putin than you may know. For one thing, Putin actually implemented a Russian version of 'Operation Warp Speed 2 months before Trump enacted Operation Warp Speed'. It's ironic that both these were near identical. It worked more effectively in Russia than in the United States. The reason was because the Fake News in America doesn't exist in Russia. Operation Warp Speed prevented the momentum of the lock-downs from going globally. Instead, there was only sporadic implementation of lock-downs in governments across the world. The Cabal was depending on the lock-downs to implement mandatory vaxxxination worldwide. And it if it had occurred hundreds of millions of people would have died. The expectation was over 1.25 billion would have perished. As we have learned, the lock-downs around the world killed far more people than the so-called 'COVID' "virus" did. It is estimated that 38 million people died from the lock-downs.
Did Putin and Trump know the Plandemic was going to occur? I find it ironic that Putin initiated the same plan 2 months before Trump did. Is Putin a "white hat"? I know that Putin kicked the Rothschild Central bank out of Russia. This Ukrainian-Russian conflict is a result of Putin throttling the Rothschild central bank of Russia years ago. Trump did the same thing in throttling the Federal Reserve while he was in office. We all know what happened to Trump, but Putin also did the same thing with great success.
Prayers up for my energy tradie brothers and sisters who may or may not have lost their lives just trying to keep the lights on.
That's a hard thing to deal with, the folks running powerplants are almost certainly a good lot, its a shame to think any of them would get hit.
Although if you were trying to cut the power without hitting people, its not impossible. Especially if the Russians plan on taking over the power plants later, they would want the main infrastructure in tact.
Unmanned sub stations would be easy targets to hit and do both objectives. First one out from the plant would kill everything down line and back feed into the plants tripping every breaker shutting it down without destroying it.
Yeah. If they’re old, decrepit ass plants then they’re probably better off just destroying them anyway.
Just speculating, but it really seems like Russia wants to keep the infrastructure intact, particularly with winter around the corner. Unless they were desperate, it wouldn’t make sense for a direct power station attack. Perhaps they targeted the lines or a substation?
Still funny when I see people in the wild defending and thinking the Ukraine has a chance.
looks fake to me
RT.com reporting it too: https://www.rt.com/russia/562602-ukraine-blackout/
That being said, I'm not 100% sold on the whole Russia's doing everything morale and for the greater good and isn't propagandizing. But I am more skeptical of our American bullshit narratives and support for Ukraine and we're definitely propagandizing.
I'm not sold that they are doing it for the greater good either but Putin is fighting our enemy and our enemy is really evil therefore i want him to win at any cost
Love to see it
And the United States and the Biden Admin can do nothing about it. Our Country is frozen in nfear.
Rt also reporting it: https://www.rt.com/russia/562602-ukraine-blackout/
Ukraine Rambo Zelensky will go up against the entie Russian army like we were told he was doing months back. He just needs 100 billion to continue doing so.
It's interesting that this happens on this date... like Justice is now coming... (it's happening)

Does it sound like they've stopped avoiding civilian casualties? Because that's a great way to passively kill the infirm.
