Severodonetsk: Ukrainian forces told to retreat from key eastern city
BBC ^ | 6/24/22 | BBC

Posted on 06/24/2022 5:02:37 AM PDT by JonPreston

Ukrainian forces in Severodonetsk have been ordered to withdraw, according to the top regional official.

The city is the focus of Russia's invasion as it tries to take control of large parts of eastern Ukraine.

"Remaining in positions that have been relentlessly shelled for months just doesn't make sense," Luhansk regional head Serhiy Haidai said.

Russian forces have nearly encircled Severodonetsk in recent days, and are now targeting its twin city Lysychansk.

"They have received orders to retreat to new positions... and from there continue their operations," Mr Haidai told Ukrainian television on Friday morning.

Compare Russian military performance in Ukraine to American military performance in Afghanistan.

Ruble was at .013 then. It is at .019 now. 1Y from now going back it is at its highest mow in 1Y.

Right.

A ruble was worth a penny before the war.

It's now worth 2 cents - double your money.

Short Bus Biden has brilliantly doubled the worth of the ruble.

Yup, that is absolutely what it is...we are going down...:-(

I have been surprised at how fast and how large the housing price cuts have already been. People aren’t fooling themselves with this one....no chance to avoid it or even to mitigate it.

Only question now is how big will it be/how long will it last.

“I was told they were surronded. How can they retreat?”

Don’t worry, most will be shelled on the way out. Zelensky waited too long.

@kiryandil

Don’t deflect to that now.

There’s no end in sight for the Ruble going up. And Biden has done a whole lot more than that. He’s devastated the US economy, no end in sight for stagflation, no end in sight for economic woes in the U.S.

RUBUSD

1 Year ago one can follow the Ruble until February this year, it drops and has been skyrocketing upwards since March.

Tell the whole story. Be honest here on FR...

“The 1Y chart shows the Ruble on March 9th was .0072 and it has steadily went up since then and is at .019 now.”

So the Ruble lost nearly 75 PERCENT of its value - Putin is DOOMED!!! At least that’s how me and the Baghdad Kiev see it.

Why not, we’ve already disposed of at least 30% of our ENTIRE weapons inventory in Ukraine, why not some more!

(by the way, at least 2 years to start refilling, probably 4 years to fully replenish...and for what?)

What so many online, in the media, on talk forums, etc, are doing is beating around the bush, being sarcastic, etc, instead of looking at the hard facts:

Russia is winning. The west is now admitting it more and more. Laura Ingraham on her show last night said it’s time to cut Ukraine loose. She has joined Tucker Carlson in this and I’ve seen ex Fox News hosts saying this.

The US is eaten up with stagflation, the value of the Ruble has doubled, Russia has tripled its oil sales, BRICS is possiblly forming a commodity based system and who knows how many countries will join. I’ve read where people have said Indonesia, Turkey, Iran, and others may join BRICS.

What a mess we’re in...

Good to know. Fox's fever war pitch at the start was sickening. They couldn't get Jack Keane and Jennifer Griffin enough air time.

There were TWO THINGS we could have done (and should have done) to respond to the invasion, to make Putin pay a price:

1. Drill, Baby, Drill - Completely RENOUNCE all agreements and treaties regarding Global Warming, and move back to our carbon/nuclear based economy.

2. Massive increase in military spending for weapons including new nukes (and of course purging the ‘woke’ crap).

We did neither, instead we DESTROYED the United States as both a World Military Superpower and a World Economic Superpower.

Any kid whose parents supported the what Biden did in response to Ukraine needs to find new parents.

p.s., of the two things I listed, Jimmy Carter did both after Afghanistan, and nothing more. Think about it.
