NYTimes -- "Ukrainian Troops Trained by the West Stumble in Battle"
Posted to FR with 21 "replies" in the moment.
Source: https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/4172477/posts
None of those FR replies / comments is from speedy, nor from his "all," which after 38 replies including yours consists of speedy and the two devoted posse.
The first line of the NY Times article is: "The first several weeks of Ukraine's long-awaited counteroffensive have not been kind to the Ukrainian troops who were trained and armed by the United States and its allies."
It is interesting how compartmentalized many threads are in the moment. Given so much preparation to post and then "speedy" posts of so many comments to himself, one imagines the many hours of pouring over sources to fill in all about the "officially: non-NATO Ukraine-Russia war could also stumble across "Ukrainian Troops Trained by the West Stumble in Battle."
Meanwhile $32 trillion in national debt drifts towards $33 trillion, and Fitch downgrades the US. Perhaps not nearly as interesting as the Dutch boys finger in the....
Brandon can’t wait to get back to partnering with Putin. In fact Democrats have never stopped colluding with Russia to remove President Trump’s excellent Iran policy. I doubt the Kremlin fan club has the will to admit that obvious truth, though. LOL.
10 more RuZZian tanks lost for tomorrows report!
And the RuZZian Boys on FR continue to whine...
“Tanks (2199, of which destroyed: 1413, damaged: 124, abandoned: 115, captured: 547)”

Kremlin snuffbox
The authorities are preparing for a large evacuation from Moscow, but the fear of one person interferes
Due to the threat of large-scale air strikes on Moscow, a plan was developed for the temporary evacuation of the main ministries and departments from the capital.
Four sources told us about this - in the government, the Kremlin, the General Staff and the FSB.
The idea of moving the capital of Russia has so far been abandoned (at the moment it is not clear how many months the threat will be relevant), they simply decided that different ministries and departments would temporarily work in different cities.
In particular, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is going to move to Yaroslavl, the Ministry of Economic Development, which has already suffered from drone strikes, to Kazan, and some officials of the Moscow mayor’s office plan to move to one of the cities of Siberia.
The Ministry of Defense has classified the place of its possible temporary deployment.
The plans for the move are actually ready, but Vladimir Putin is preventing them.
The President categorically refuses both to leave Moscow himself (he has enough places for possible temporary stay), and to allow other representatives of the authorities to move.
And it’s not the fearlessness of Vladimir Vladimirovich.
“The president is afraid that if he leaves Moscow, some new Prigozhin will come here and seize power.
“For the same reason, he does not want to release any of the officials from Moscow, and, moreover, the security forces,” our source in the Kremlin explained.
According to him, FSO officers recently persuaded Putin to temporarily evacuate Moscow, and said that he and representatives of other authorities could be killed.
“Nothing, we will go to heaven, as I once said. So, if you die, then all together,” the president joked.
It turns out that the fear of one person to lose power now outweighs the fear of many representatives of the same government to be killed.
If we recall the forecasts that are given about the threat of a new rebellion in Russia, there is a certain logic in this.

You and I might disagree on some things, because we're individual. I view these threads with some amusement and with an observer's eye/
Like the reverend mother, after some posts critical and especially after some critical posts for which there is no clear reply except more PR, this particular thread follows Rev mom's game plane. Post more "click" stuff because "that'll show 'em."
There is little debate and little dissension in these threads, just more copious text and click bait, as if that is any kind of argumentation. It is amusing. "All" seems not a very big number.
“During the fight for Makarivka (June) Ukrainian Marines destroyed a lot of Russian equipment.
Some of them you may witness. These T-80BVMs and T-80BV belonged to the Russian 40th separate Marine brigade.”
