This list only includes destroyed vehicles and equipment of which photo or videographic evidence is available. Therefore, the amount of equipment destroyed is significantly higher than recorded here. Small arms, ATGMs, MANPADS, loitering munitions, drones used as unmanned bait, civilian vehicles, trailers and derelict equipment are not included in this list. All possible effort has gone into avoiding duplicate entries and discerning the status of equipment between captured or abandoned. Many of the entries listed as 'abandoned' will likely end up captured or destroyed. Similarly, some of the captured equipment might be destroyed if it can't be recovered. When the origin of a piece of equipment can't be established, it is not included in the list. The Soviet flag is used when the equipment in question was produced prior to 1991. This list is constantly updated as additional footage becomes available

Because of the RuZZian fertilizer.
Now Go eat your Borschit, Dirty RuZZian
And that’s with all available Orc forces concentrated in one spot. Trying desperately to advance one street by one street a day.

It's like when we hear the story of the Hatfields and McCoys, we don't care about or champion either side. We can only laugh at the fools. Give it a rest, why not?
Oh I will hold him to his prediction.
I have heard this talk of closing cauldrons for months, and yet it never has happended....
Ukraine surrender and NATO disbands by end of September? If this does not happen will you promise to go away? OR would you prefer me to remind you of this predictin regulary?

It is almost always the same today: climate change, Ukraine, Covid, green power, coal, LGBTQIA, abortion, feminism, discussing quota's for minorities, hate crime laws...
When you discuss anything with people, and they fail to have a counter argument based on any sort of facts, but they feel really strong about the subject, they resort to fallacies.
That is the consequence of a poor education. It makes one unable to critically think, apply logic nor know what the fallacies are and how to avoid them. I do not hold this against you. Public education has always been merely about pumping out vast numbers that are just smart enough to work in a factory.
But the problem is that this does not make your fantasy world true.
If an MD says you have cancer, calling him names will not change what the tests show to be the case. There is merit to positive thinking and having hope, those are good things. But when you deny reality, you tend to make stupid decisions, and that is what Biden did in October 2021 when he gave Ukraine the green light for NATO membership (the real cause for this war): https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/ukrainian-president-zelenskiy-holding-talks-with-biden-adviser-says-2021-12-09/
Someone once told me, and I think it's sound advice, that if you play stupid games, you might end up winning a stupid prize. When you deny reality, you're playing stupid games.
You’d be new if you knew anything. Go back the cave you crawled out of troll.
Its a teaching moment that we as adults must be patient with. We can only help so much. The training wheels must eventually come off. Until then we give guidance, and encouragement to the children :)
It’s downright shocking to see how completely these Putler-fluffers have fallen for KGB/FSB active measures and disinformation. Somewhere in hell Yuri Andropov is smilling.

Yeah, back in the day, I met several of his “friends” in West Germany. These Ivan-come-latelies, these modern puffers couldn’t hold a candle to the “friends” I met.
Just so everyone knows, it’s not just the globalist propaganda that has this annoying breathless hyperbole. The Russians do it too:
Zelensky’s elite battalion destroyed

Would be nice if both sides would stick to straight reporting. Something can be true and still be propaganda. They should let it go at that.
“You'd be new if you knew anything.”
But, back to the topic Ukraine.
At this point, Ukraine is screwed. They were pretty much screwed when the war started (it was a big gamble by them and this administration, and they lost). It was only a question of how much and how fast they would lose real estate.
They are not getting that land back (~20%), nor the people (~20%), nor the port, nor the industry. They are not going to be part of NATO (the cause of the war and their political goal) nor the EU (damage from the war). They have millions displaced. Their infrastructure is damaged. Their economy is being floated by foreign aid and loans from the West which account for 1/3 of Ukraine's entire economy right now (good luck when that dries up). Their economy shrunk by -4% and that is with massive Western i.e. EU and US assistance. They're a basket case already, folks just don't get it yet since they are throwing US and EU money around. They have thousands dead, their government took a huge leap backwards (outlawing political opposition, shutting down radio stations...) and they have more internal instability.
Ukraine is a real winner!
I suggest you throw a Wonder Woman sighting into your Ukraine victory reports on Russian casualties. Folks in the US really like Wonder Woman.
Don't worry, no one will question if it's real. After all, no one wants to be labeled if they question the validity.
What is propaganda?
These are meaningless terms today which simply label information which is contradicting or derogatory to ones own cause.
It is up to us to determine the accuracy of information, the agenda.
But these labels are meaningless. They only attempt to have the reader discount information by putting a label with a negative connotation on it. It's a game with feelings, sort of like putting the word “green” on everything today.
First of all, its British media reporting the Russian strikes so the odds that it happened as reported are pretty high. The British are not known for publishing Russian propaganda.
Second, I’m also not seeing the hyperbole in this reporting, it seems pretty cut and dried like most of the reports from the Russian side.
Maybe you’re just not used to hearing about Ukie losses in western media...and good on the Russians for taking out the Kracken trash.
You two should get a room.😜
“Their (Ukrainian) economy shrunk by -4% and that is with massive Western i.e. EU and US assistance.”
I believe that the Ukrainian economy has contracted much more than that - more like 30-40%.
The Russian economy has taken some hard hits as well, and will probably contract something like 10% for the year, and double digits next year - but with serious underlying problems developing below that topline number, like the structural loss of most of their natural gas exports (85% of which went to the EU last year, including Turkey)
Both of them face some hard economic conditions/risks to get through this coming Winter.
Without Western support, it seems unlikely that the Ukraine could continue to function or resist through the Winter, so it will likely be a matter of Western commitment.
Nobody is likely to bail out Russia though. Indeed, the G7 will likely be working to undermine the Russian economy further.
The costs are huge to both countries, and will be for the West as well, to see it through.
Hey look it’s another Putin puffer with with overt homoerotic tendencies. You guys are all alike aren’t you? Do us heterosexuals a favor and keep your gay fantasies off of this website. That junk got old months ago and you guys need to knock it off.
but I cannot understand that sentence.
