That’s what happens when you run a thread on Ukraine war and not cats
But I must say I appreciate your input
I also appreciate
That your opinion is valid and any that disagree are lies and propaganda
I appreciate that oryx is lies and propaganda but Russian MOD numbers are truth
I appreciate that Russia has spent millions with rocket, drone ,and missile attacks to keep the world free of “nazi” grains(imagine many African countries are grateful).
I appreciate Russia contributing to urban renewal across Ukraine
I appreciate Russia contributing to the ever growing scrape metal Soviet tank industry
I appreciate Russia “liberating” Ukrainian children to Russia (not going to solve their demographic issues though)
I appreciate that your “facts” are truth and all others are lies and propaganda
I appreciate that speedy putting posts on his thread makes him a Troll, but you are not.
So much to be grateful for, thank you
Someone harbors a grievance.
“Trevor Reed, the former US Marine who was wrongfully detained in Russia for nearly three years before being released in a prisoner swap, was injured while fighting in Ukraine, a source familiar with the matter told CNN Tuesday.
Reed, who was freed in a prisoner swap in April 2022, was transported to a hospital in Kyiv and was evacuated to Germany for medical care, the source said.
The circumstances around Reed’s injury in combat were not immediately clear.”

Thanks for wasting so much time on me..
Returning the favor
Pot calling kettle black
Ian Miles Cheong @stillgrayBut you know the Orcs base all their supposed counts of destroyed Russian tanks on media reports, so there stuff is totally accurate!This is why no one trusts the media. The Sun posted a video of a German-made Ukrainian Leopard 2A6 getting blown to bits by a Russian Lancet drone and called it a "Russian tank" getting "hit by Ukrainian missiles."
The comments aren't having it.

Where is Vladimir Putin leading Russia, and is there a replacement for him?
In our channel, we rarely talk about those who are usually called the opposition. This post explains the reason in detail.
But something has happened in recent months that deserves to be told. Firstly , it is confirmed that some high-ranking people from the FSB contacted prominent representatives of the Russian opposition.
This coincided with the activation of Chubais, who left Russia, and rumors about his return began to be actively exaggerated in the spring. Chubais, although not a classical opposition, was contacted not only with him. In the list of contacts, for example, Khodorkovsky.
Secondly , Prigozhin’s rebellion showed the real weakness of the current government, and among the so-called liberals there were those who supported the attempt by the owner of PMC Wagner to show his teeth to Vladimir Putin.
“A tectonic change took place in the minds of representatives of that very opposition party. They suddenly realized that it would be possible to change the regime only by force. And when this force appeared, they decided to support it,” one of Khodorkovsky’s associates told us.
According to people close to the liberal party, the first encroachments towards the use of force to change power occurred at a time when very small units of “Russian volunteers” (as the Ukrainian side claims) made a lot of noise in the Belgorod region.
That is, several tens of hundreds capture the regional center, and several thousand armed Wagnerites take Rostov under control in a matter of hours without resistance. The authorities in both cases turned out to be weak and not ready to fight back.
And now the main thing: what is Vladimir Putin doing now?
In recent days, a lot of laws have been adopted that make it clear that Putin has understood that it will not be possible to complete the SVO now - moving on to Plan B.
We ‘re The Kremlin is betting on Trump’s victory in the United States and the weakening of support for Ukraine from the West.
At the same time, external propaganda turned on to the maximum. We wrote about the change in approach to this a few months earlier.
At the same time, Putin personally felt the weakness of the power vertical and will strengthen Zolotov, who is loyal to him, and his National Guard.
Scandals in the army have shown that Shoigu cannot restore order, but Putin cannot yet remove him. But the interlocutors do not rule out that this can happen suddenly.
Can another Prigozhin appear against this background, but who is not afraid to see things through to the end?
Unfortunately, there is no such candidate yet. But there are significant changes in the mood of that same liberal opposition.
Will she unite with the Russians who are fighting on the side of the Armed Forces of Ukraine?
So far, unlikely. But a month and a half ago, this was out of the question.
We are very dynamically approaching the denouement. Now many in power are trying to find a place for themselves “after Putin.” And, preferably, not in the dock.

Our foreign readers ask - is there an opposition in Russia and why do we write so little about it?
There is opposition in Russia. Weak, exhausted, but there. Yes, most of them left, some went to bunk beds, but in principle, there are about two dozen of its prominent representatives.
These posts tell us almost nothing in terms of answering that question. It would be like watching a football game and the only information provided is how many players have changed shoes since the game started.
I guess it's easy to get into a habit of just posting from a favored propaganda source over-and-over. Both you and the Reverend Mother take that approach. (Did you learn that in a seminar somewhere?)
RuZZian Boys are dying by the thousands every month.
That is my yardstick.
Have a Great Day!
Another nice bump in RuZZian tank losses for tomorrows report.
RuZZian tank losses in July now highest since RuZZia’s failed offensive in Feb/March this year.
“Russian most effective main battle tank T90M was damaged and immobilized by the 92nd brigade. The 32nd brigade damaged the auxiliary power unit on it with a drone-dropped grenade.”

“Destroyed 🇷🇺self-propelled gun 2S19 Msta-S somewhere in Donetsk region.”

“Destroyed 🇷🇺 BMP-2 near the settlement of Karamzynivka, Luhansk region. “

Another indicator that at this phase of the war, Russian Artillery is systematically taking a significant beating.
That is going to leave a mark.
“How is the war going?”
The Artillery battle has significantly shifted. Russian forces have lost their biggest advantage, which used to be overwhelming Artillery dominance.
Without that, they don’t have much that is effective.
My apologies
