For the first time since July 6, Russia has not announced new "territorial achievements" in Ukraine – ISW

On Thursday, August 18, for the first time since July 6, Russia did not declare "territorial achievements in Ukraine. Ukrainian official sources also did not declare new losses of territories.

This is reported by the American Institute for the Study of War (Institute for the Study of War, or ISW). At the same time, it is noted that Russian troops continue to make limited and unsuccessful ground assaults in eastern Ukraine.

Also, the Institute for the Study of War draws attention to Russian reports of explosions throughout the Crimea on the night of August 18, probably caused by Russian air defense, Ukrainian intelligence or a Ukrainian attack.

"Russian sources claimed that Russian air defense shot down a drone near the Kerch Bridge between Crimea and Russia on the night of August 18, as footage on social networks showed active air defense in the area," the report said.

At the same time, it is noted that the ISW cannot independently verify whether the Russian air defense shot down a Ukrainian UAV, and whether there was any UAV at all in Kerch or Belbek.

However, the ISW suggests that Ukrainian forces are likely to continue their campaign of strikes against Russian military facilities in the occupied Crimea in order to aggravate Russia's logistical capabilities and support operations on the western bank of the Dnieper.

Earlier, OBOZREVATEL reported that explosions were heard near the Kerch Bridge in the occupied Crimea on the evening of August 18. The occupation "authorities" of the peninsula stated that there was "no threat to the bridge," and the Kremlin media noted that a "Ukrainian drone" was shot down near the Crimean Bridge.

Also on the evening of August 18, powerful explosions were heard at the Belbek military airfield in Sevastopol, which were so strong that they could be heard in all districts of the city and in the nearest settlements. The airfield is the largest military airbase on the peninsula, it is located 260 km from the nearest point of the front.

Gauleiter Mikhail Razvozhaev, after a long pause, said that an unmanned aerial vehicle was shot down by air defense means in the Belbek area. He claimed that no one was injured and there were no injuries.

“dirty RuZZians have been in retreat”

CLARIFICATION:
I never slandered Russians. I have repeatedly said that I have both Russian and Ukrainian friends. Which have revealed a much different aspect to this Russian Invasion orcestrated by Putin.

Putin is evil yes.

I have never determined anyone on retreat, but often report Ukraine successes

Of course there isnt. But someone who wishes Russia could invade the US and topple our government is not MAGA, not a Patriot, but rather a traitor.

ABSOLUTELY! As stated in the Free Republic mission statement: “Free Republic is a site dedicated to the concerns of traditional grassroots conservative activists. We’re here to discuss and advance our conservative causes in a more or less liberal-free environment. We’re not here to debate liberals. We do not want our pages filled with their arrogant, obnoxious, repugnant bile. Liberals, usurpers, and other assorted malcontents are considered unwelcome trolls on FR and their accounts and or posts will be summarily dismissed at the convenience of the site administrators.

Free Republic does not advocate or condone racism, violence, rebellion, secession, or an overthrow of the government.”

Before you apply labels rto others, remember the law of mirroring: what you see in others is your own reflection.

It is our current government and its captured administrative state that has already destroyed our nation with the connivance of international mega corporations.

To wish for anyone to overthrow them is a patriotic act on behalf of the occupied citizens.

Our real government is MAGA which is in internal exile and under political seige.

Our nation is NOT the same thing as “The Government” (tm). To make that equation is to grovel to the ocuupiers. To resist them, even to the point of praying for deliverance, is patriotic. To denounce those prayers for deliverance is to admit to being a collaborator.

Ask any nation held in bondage by dupes of foreign powers whether or not they pray for the deposition of the illegitimate. Once they even prayed for the Yanks to arrive. To see America occupied must be heart-wrenching for them.

The reason there is so much sturm and drang online & in the legacy state media about MAGA being *traitors* and Russia being the Big Bad Wolf is because Russia is methodically preparing tribunals for our occupiers (and perhaps for some of them currently holding the EU). This is currently being brought before the UN. They are totally serious and may God speed & bless their efforts.

...an overthrow of the government...
_____________________________________

That clause only applies to a legitimately elected government, not the travesty under which we live via electoral theft and jack-booted lawfare. Said lawfare is the only reason the phrase was included in the first place

And you have the nerve to claim the moral high ground for that NATO and WEF lackey also known as Ukraine?

You are nothing less than a demoralization agent and a collaborator.

The world would not be a better place if Russia
conquered the United states.

There is a segment of folks on Free Republic
who mistakenly agree with you. That is
unfortunate.

We have our problems and they need to be
addressed internally.

True Conservatives believe they have the
superior ideology. Pretend Conservatives
are convinced Conservatism cannot survive
and prevail. They keep advocating for
retreat, isolationism, and a diminishing
presence globally and internally.

You hear talk of secession and hoping
some states break away from the US.
People think they are brilliant thinkers
advocating this nonsense.

What person in their right mind would
advocate for a new nation in our midst
that could raise an army and arm itself
with nuclear weapons, like North Korea?
But yep, that’s their best idea for
problem states.

They have no comprehension they are
advocating the Communist’s game plan
for them.

Ask yourself who wants the United States
To have less of a presence globally?
Conservatives? LMAO!

Russia, China, North Korea, Iran, the Arabs
on the West Bank and in Gaza, Cuba… Are
those YOUR fellow travelers, because they
sure agree with your game plan.

When are you folks going to wake up
from your political stupor?

Anyone under occupation by an illegitimate government ruling through the captured administrative state desires liberation.

“The Government” derives its legitimacy from the people and one installed via electoral fraud is not legitimate. We have an installed regime demonstrably at the paid bidding of foreign powers and domestic revolutionaries

Happy under occupation, are you? Totally on board with $55M and counting of US taxpayer money being strip-mined from all of us to shore up what was, pre-war, designated as the most corrupt country in Europe?

Our energy supplies go to Europe & China (all of which still buy from Russia), who STILL cannot supply their citizens minimally without charging exorbitantly, to the detriment of their economy and quality of life, while our own country is also strangled by the cost/supply of fuel for transport and electricity. It will get worse this winter, everywhere.

But no one should wish for an end to this regime by any means?

The same interests control all of this global destruction. Your postings on the subject support their ends.

Don’t you dare lecture anyone on patriotism.

____________________

No one has said *conquered*. The word *invade* was used, perhaps too loosely.

Russia is in process of humiliating the Western Atlantic Alliance in their contrived proxy war in Ukraine. Formal tribunals are being brought forward in the UN. Western politicians, financiers and billionaires have been declared persona non grata by name. A parallel economic structure with sound money backed by a basket of commodities is being forged by those seeking a multi-polar world.

The enemy of my enemy is my ally.

Russia has the potential to so weaken the Global Government that our domestic regime would be vulnerable to being replaced with a lawfully elected, legitimate government of, by & for the people.

And then, after we say thank you, they can go about their business while we rebuild. No reason for them to even set foot on our soil to accomplish that. We had such assistance at the beginning of the Republic and have been an independent nation ever since.

Until now.

This is a duty and a right enshrined in our founding documents. And it looks to be occurring once again.
