I’ve heard they’re sending people in at night, taking some pictures, and then running back.
Is it true there was almost a Russo-Ukraine peace deal in April that either the US or Europe sabotaged?
There’s a difference between withdrawing and retreating - Russia withdraws , Ukraine moves out thinking they have the upper hand and Russia comes in like a lion and plows them over.
But in order to keep the Ukraine troops on the battlefield they use the word “retreat”....
The Ukes are falling short.
Im old enough to remember democrats saying we did not have 13 billion for a border wall with Mexico.
Now 50 billion for Ukraine is no biggie.
Good times.
Let’s say they take Kherson. What do they win militarily that gives them an advantage?
An admission this war is being run from Washington DC. Guess what neocons? You OWN Ukraine now.
So what does the future hold? A stalemate that becomes increasingly expensive for everyone, including the USA, USA putting boots on the ground, or once US political will changes, the Zelensky regime collapses like Ashraf Ghani in Afghanistan. Any suggestion that Russia simply stops, is the fantasy option.
If the Ukrainians aren’t making advances, why has Russia postponed their “plebecite” in Kherson?
One thing is sure. There are no Pattons, Lees or Pullers now.
I’ve been lurking since April. Been lurking since about 99 actually. This article even though it appears to be even-handed is still western prop. The real story is the Ukes tried to cross a small river in three axises in the southern flank and the Russians knew they were coming. My bet is that the command is compromised. Leasing out intel from NATO but no counter intel. Zelensky wants to keep countint in house for obvious reasons. The Russians allowed them to cross a smaller river near the Dnepier River and had the bridgeheads cordoned and pre-gridded. They were thoroughly routed in one of the worst defeats in Eurasia since WW2 with artillery and airstrikes. I doubt their signal was compromised. But possible. They were nearly encircled but a shockingly they had a reserve force to keep the orcs off long enough to extract them. They also used MI-18s which isn’t in their arsenal. We had some we used for the Afghan campaign and training. Most of them i saw were smoking wreckage. Tons of dead ukes face down in the dirt. This is insane. No way Ukraine can win this unless they find more boots and bodies. I’m sure many of you will flame me as a russian bot..lol. I planned my whole life to kill Russians so fire away..lol. If you don’t believe me or disagree I frankly don’t care. I don’t care about this war either other than the fact we are trashing $billions when we have baby formula shortages. Europe is about to go dark ages.
