Does it seem like they are just recycling headlines from the 1940s?

I think that if you want to use WWII as a model for this, this is Japan invading Manchuria in 1931. It started the ball rolling eventually to full-blown World War.

Right where the map says in Russian Oleshky, there is another important bridge over the Konka River which leads to the Antonioski Bridge. It was HIMARS hit for the first tine yesterday.

There’s no denying the UA high command is totally inept.

The bridges are still passable by foot traffic.

“Today, during the day, on the direct instructions of V. Zelensky, Ukrainian troops attempted an offensive in the Mykolaiv and Kherson regions in three directions.

As a result of the active defense of the grouping of Russian troops, the AFU units suffered heavy losses.

During the fighting, 26 Ukrainian tanks, 23 infantry fighting vehicles, nine other armored combat vehicles were destroyed, two Su-25 attack aircraft were shot down.

The enemy’s losses in manpower amounted to more than 560 servicemen. Another attempt at offensive actions of the enemy failed miserably.” - RuMoDsaid

Want to place a wager as to whose economy’s collapse first, that of the US/UK/EU/Ukraine or Russia’s?

Be assured, the only economy’s about to collapse is that of the US/EU/UK/Ukraine, not Russia’s.

That video is utter BS and I had posted to that video pretty much saying such.

“whose economy’s collapse first, that of the US/UK/EU/Ukraine or Russia’s?”

Russia’s will collapse before the West’s. Why? Easy. The ruble isn’t tradeable. Might as well be the North Korean wan. Of course you probably think the Norks also have a robust and strong economy.

You obviously do not appreciate or believe in free market economics. Public approval isn’t necessary in command-directed dictatorships. And that’s what Russia is now. A closed-market dictatorship.

Russia pulled this S in the 1920s. Ripped off all sorts of Western companies who believed the Bolsheviks’ BS. But there won’t be any Lend-Lease this time around since Russia is the fascist dictatorship invading its neighbors in wars of conquest. All Russia has now is a den of despots for ‘allies’ -and they’re turning away too. A collapsed empire withering away.

Time to arrest Russian citizens and add them to the gulags they’re filling with UKRs. That’ll improve moral and economic development /S.

All Russia’s good will is gone even among its people. Revolution is the only future for Putin’s Russia.

You have no clue, and I mean utter clue, as to what you spout, assert, and claim. Absolutely clueless, Nazi supoorter.

Probably shouldn’t be putting out press releases for your military plans
You mean like announcing that you were going to drive the Russians out of Kherson, waiting for the Russians to send in reinforcements, then destroying the bridges behind them?

Ukraine doesn't need to take Kherson, now. Those unsupplied troops aren't going anywhere.

That's a big river. Fifty years ago the Soviets used to have a lot of ribbon bridges. I wonder how many of them still work?
