It’s a major uptick

Target hits have left half of Ukraine without power grid

This is a political uptick as much as military

I think this may be coupled with more Russian army instead of mostly supporting DPR and Wagner brigades and militias

Who knows

Lot going on to be certain

The Russian grind west took a bulge no question of that

Who knows what their responses will be but this seems part of it

Outside the east it’s been limited war with Russian arty and air and a few ground troops relying instead on pro separatists forces and Chechnyans who pro Zelensky folks here forget are technically Russian

That may change

Yeah I’ll stop the name calling, like neocon, soros agent, globalist, homo, clown, crossdresser.. these are the names you two year olds call people every day.

What frauds.

The Russian rout is GREAT.

God Bless the Ukrainians and may every Russian savage meet V Putin in hell where those pigs belong.

There is nothing great about war.

It is madness.

Plain and simple, before Putin is defeated and eliminated by these NATO weapons. He will strike them. NATO will have the option to strike him back and this will escalate to a full blown nuclear exchange or get our noses out of where they have no business being. Putin had no fear of Trump attacking him. Trump provided a degree of security on Putin’s border as he tried to to control the Obama gang running Ukraine since 2012. Also Ukrainian NATO membership was out of the question for Trump. Putin’s fear was that Trump would use Bakken oil to destroy Putin and the Russian economy if Putin tried anything. If you were so trained about Soviet nuclear capabilities then you know what they were and more so, what modern Russian nukes can do. Putin doesn’t want to swallow anything, just to be left alone by NATO. If NATO continues this unprovoked proxy war against Russia it risks destroying us. If you were so trained then you know if every other country in the world was allied with us against Russia, once we crossed the nuclear threshold nothing could save 80+% of the American people from being killed. All of this to protect, “well SOB, the prosecutor got fired” for the Obama gang.

What have we here, another PootyPal, or Russia troll? If you are concerned about Russia, and think they might contemplate tactical or other nuclear strikes, then consider this information I found when I Googled “wind patterns in Ukraine.”

“What are the wind patterns over Ukraine?
In the north, east, and south, the easterly and southeasterly winds prevail, in the west – northwesterly and westerly, while in the southwest – southerly and southeasterly.”

Consider what assets or “friends of Russia” are where: Belarus to the north, Russia to the northeast, east and southeast, and Crimea to the south.

Are you on medication?

I only ask, because you can’t tell us one nation the Ukraine
has invaded, yet you call it Zelensky’s War?

What exactly is your ailment?

When was the last time the Russians actually lit off a nuke? Do they still even work?

I don’t talk with pigs who still believe Bush’s war was righteous. Go away and sell your neoconservativism to someone else.

That is your own fear and fantasy, not reality, surrender to Russian order or die, surrender to Putin’s will or die, do this or die, do that or die, I’ve got an old book I’ve clung to for 50 years, submit or die. You must have been deeply troubled during the Reagan years, I wasn’t.

As far as Trump, he was a grave threat to Russia and unlike the media, they saw Trump’s increasing the military/NATO threat against them and trying to cut them off from Europe markets while he talked nice in public.

In the end you got to your point, all this is just a simple liberal political conspiracy and let Russia invade and conquer Ukraine, because, Putin.

Funny, and it’s as obvious as could be. A good Troll would have asked me what I was talking about when I called him Flush.

Poor fella. Your delusion is melting down around you.

Nothing you guys predicted I’d coming true.

Must suck to know what a blithering idiot you have been.

It’s a major uptick

Losing Izium was a set back for the Russians but not the complete disaster some here are proclaiming it is. Something like ~15-20K RF regulars escaped tactical encirclement in an orderly fashion and are now available for deployment elsewhere along the line of contact. Ukraine now has to hold/defend its gains in the Kharkiv region or lose them to encroachment.

The Kharkiv region has always been a tough nut to crack and Russia has a prior commitment to protect the Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts from Ukie aggression. There are also rumors of another offensive push coming in Kherson so the Russians need to be ready to repulse it.

Attacking Kharkiv's infrastructure makes military sense, but I feel bad for the civilians trapped there. Looks like they're in for a long hard winter.

If what you say is true, then Putin — on his own initiative
— initiated war against NATO, not Ukraine; and is only using Ukraine as the playing field. If so, Putin is beyond stupid.

Agree.

I am the age (76) where my early elementary school days included learning how to suddenly get under our desks and hold our hands over our necks because a nuclear war might be coming any day. Duck and Cover films were shown.

I grew up hoping the two vicious groups of surly white haired schoolboys in DC and the Commie countries would decide not to kill all of us rather than give in to settle disputes without a total ego orgasm triumph. Sickos are still at it.
