TLDR: Russia is of course still winning. No change there. The Ukrainians don’t seem to be able to reach the power plant. Interesting theory that Russia may have asked Lloyd Austen about the attack rumors in advance. Ukraine has heavy losses and defenses are crumbling in some areas, moving or retreating in others. Russia took some prisoners, some Ukrainian, one Polish mercenary. The main battle lines are not in Kursk, but other areas where Russia is advancing in Donbas.
Oh, and Russia’s Group Of Forces North (brigade?) quoted Bismark in their update: “Make alliances with anyone, start any kind of war, but never touch the Russians.”
The other group of news sources only mention the Ukrainian successes such as HQs bombed, bombers shot down, more territory taken and Russian forces captured.
I thought alternate universes were supposed to be completely isolated from one another.
It’s not that it’s too long to read. It’s that it comes from a discredited shill.
Mercouris by his own admission suffered serious mental illness from 2006 to 2012 culminating with a fiasco with a client that led him to being disbarred as a Barrister. To replace that income, he began offering himself up as an expert on Russia Today, a platform on which he has appeared more than 150 times.
The best way to think of Mercouris is as a mouthpiece for Russia. The proclivity to lie that got him disbarred serves him well in his new capacity.
Here’s the conclusion of the disciplinary finding against him:
Alexander Mercouris engaged in conduct likely to diminish public confidence in the legal profession or the administration of justice or otherwise bring the legal profession into disrepute, contrary to section 301(a)(iii) in that you purported in a statement dated 11 December 2009 that you had been detained by bogus police officers and taken to a meeting at the Royal Courts of Justice where a senior law lord tried to bribe you to drop a legal case in return for a payment to you of 50,000 plus payment of your debts and mortgage knowing that this did not happen and dishonestly claiming that it did.
Sanction: Disbarred
Costs: £786.00
Beyond that, he’s been dead effing wrong since the prelude to the invasion.
Here he dismisses the very prospect of an invasion:

This is from Alexander Mercouris, whose analysis is posted above. It is his account of his insanity which led to his disbarment.
“The person however now had my personal details. Following her acquittal she pressed me for help with another case she wanted to bring. I told her of my depression, and tried to persuade her to look for help elsewhere. She found it impossible to find lawyers to help her, and insisted on coming to back to me.
“Now that I am able to think clearly I can see that her case was hopeless, and that this was the advice other lawyers were giving her. Had I been well I would have given her the same advice.
“At the time, because my will had been undermined my depression, and because my judgement had become clouded by the effect of the drugs, I could not do so. Nor was I able to insist that she leave me alone, or take action to ensure that she did so.
“Instead I fell back on fantasies, which by this point were becoming increasingly bizarre, and in which I increasingly involved her. What this involved was inventing increasingly fantastic scenarios, which I gave to this person in place of real advice or action. At one point I told her I had been kidnapped by the former Lord Chief Justice of England and Wales and that he had tried to bribe me.”
“I thought alternate universes were supposed to be completely isolated from one another. “
They are. But our minds bridge them to create understanding.
The alternate universe offered here is provided by a source who confesses to lying and mental illness leading to professional disbarment.
For further confirmation of his worthlessness as a disinterested reporter, I commend to you his YouTube channel. It has two solid years of Ukrainian setbacks, disasters, collapse, destruction, and defeat. If he were to believed Ukraine has lost this war dozens of times over.
In the General/Chat forum, on a thread titled My notes on Ukraine part of VIDEO | Ukr Pokrovsk Crisis, Rus: No Talks Kiev; Alaudinov: Kursk NPP Ukr Target, Failed; Iran Rejects US , Miami Rebel wrote: It’s not that it’s too long to read. It’s that it comes from a discredited shill.
You go on to list all manner of things and you never get around to explaining why Mercouris is so much more accurate than the Ukrainian government, the Ukrainina military, and most of all, the Ukrainian shills on Free Republic. Mercouris is accurate. The world is trying to deal with the huge mistake Zelensky just made. It sounds like a replacement for Zelensky (former interior minister of Ukraine) has been identified. Meanwhile, you can scream that it's not true and claim that Mercouris does not recycle aluminum cans, and it doesn't matter because he is more accurate and balanced than everything the Ukrainians have put forth.
We see you, Miami Rebel.

We see you, Miami Rebel.
It really sounds like he was set up. But, he’s gone on to be very successful. Mental illness isn’t a death sentence it seems, many people overcome and go on to contribute.
The problem for you is that he and Alexander Christoforou are exposing the truth at a time the Ukrainians are desperate to hide it.

08/04/2024 12:35:56 PM PDT · by Openurmind · 98 replies 8/4/24 | MemberI have detected a serious YouTube security threat that needs exposure. All IT and security experts welcome to please check into my findings and chime in. Here is what I found so far. Years ago this was a problem. Just going to youtube or Google mail at all even on another tab without logging in would load strong spyware in your browser and even in your machine permanently which required reinstalling your OS to remove. It tracked logins on other tabs and was gaining access to keyboards, microphones, and cameras even if you just landed on their site by accident.... | ||
We see you, Miami Rebel.<<<<

You have to have a Youtube account and be logged in to it, yes?
No. You don’t have to have a YOUTUBE account. Just clicking on the link will do it- even before the page is drawn it can git ya.
It's no different than the media coverage in this country.
The leftist media, Biden regime and Deep State consistently try to show a reality that doesn't exist.
But, the map in Ukraine and the battlefield doesn't lie -- the Russians are the methodically advancing daily. Nothing but a surrender or NATO/US involvement could stop them.
There is zero chance Ukraine has the resources to hold ground in Russia.
Alexander, Alex Christoforou and the The Duran repeatedly point that Trump is the one standing up to the globalist monsters that started and have kept this war going. They had Robert Barnes on to expose that fact that assassination attempt against Trump was allowed or, perhaps, planned by Deep State.
You are so pure to judge him and yet you give your buddies in Ukraine a pass. You are "contradictory"
.
The big picture of how the war or any individual part of it is going is not "my side is winning / their side is losing". Neither side has claimed victory nor admitted defeat.
Regarding Kursk:
Should Russia eventually expel the AFU from Kursk, it is going a while.
