Putin's invasion is collapsing. Now he orders more meat for the meat grinder.

Well if Putin loses a 100K or 500K in Ukraine, he will cause a crisis in the government.

From a contact in Russia:
On mobilization in Russia

One of my friends got mobilized recently. He’s a mobile gamedev and a conscientious objector. So he tried to flee his city (Petrozavodsk) and drove to the nearest border (of Kazakhstan) but the seemingly endless traffic jam made him return in despair.

That’s how they caught him and transported to the nearest voenkomat. He couldn’t believe his eyes. There was a WW2 veteran standing in line as a volunteer. Soldiers were given out vatniks sheathed in camo print. Boots with so many holes that they looked like crocs and kits with personal hygiene items that included condoms. Yes, condoms. A Russian analogue of Durex - Gusarskiye so naturally they were also peppered w/ holes - a point of hearty laughter of everyone involved

They were to be transported in cargo section of soviet plane to Ukraine.

They were allowed to “relax” for a few hours before that - i.e get drunk/high out of their minds and listen to the instructions of the Politruk who riled them up by talking about beauty of the Ukrainian woman and prosperity of the average household.

The tattered drunks of all ages were all ears. “Listen up, scum. You’re about to fly first class to a western democracy. So do what you do best: destroy their livelihoods and make them pay for being better than us. We will defile their land because we can. First and foremost, we are Eurasianists. We’ve learned from the best: Mongols, fascists and communists. You don’t need any training - it’s in your blood. No need for fancy gear either. The strongest will survive and bring his enemies to heel” as my friend later recalled speech.

So obviously he was looking for a way to escape this. He stood up and said “I’m gay”. A crazed mob jumped him and beat him bloody. But he smiled the whole time, ignoring broken ribs and bruises. Nevertheless he persisted. He’s going to prison for life for his orientation instead.

It’s best to boast after taking off the armor. Not when your still putting it on…

History books will be written about the bravery of the Ukrainian people.

I don’t like Zelensky and I don’t like Putin.

I don’t understand why this came to a shooting war.

I worry about what Ukraine will be like in the future.

It’s noble to defend your country, but what if your enemy’s goal isn’t the taking of land, but the destruction of a generation of young men?

Why do we not hear of peace ideas from Western countries?

Good. We don’t have to support them with our tax dollars anymore. Maybe we can spend it helping our fellow Americans now instead of defending foreigners 5,000 miles away.

Interesting that you posted something from Charter 97%. It’s based in Poland and is funded with the help of Open Society, which is George Soros’ organization. So you’re promoting the views of the globalists when you post these stories. It helps to know who your “sources” are, don’t you think?

Every day I see more accounts on FR that look like WEF/Globalist propagandists.

A example of how Russia shill logic works, and how to work backwards from it to figure out what is likely happening in reality, I.E. not online:

  1. Claim: Ukraine has enough of a foothold across the river Lyman is in reach of being retaken.
  2. Russian shill behavior: Multiple shills ignore this and at some point will switch to a new set of talking points to ignore it.
  3. Conclusion: Based on Russian Shill behavior, the reality is Ukraine is nearing position to retake Lyman.

My prediction:

  1. At some point, Ukraine will try to take Lyman, or take something of equivalent value, like the Kharkiv was to Kherson
  2. Russian shills: They will repeat Russian MOD talking points with their own embellishments and their own overused talking points.
    • To understand this, just watch Scott Ritter two or three times.
    • When you catch how untruthful Ritter really is, watching him is not fun.
    • (I just warned you, don't say I didn't.)
  3. Conclusion: Ukraine will have achieved another significant victory of the Russian army.

Yes, things are progressing much more rapidly than people know. Russian soldiers are surrendering or running away en masse. They leave behind EVERYTHING. Tanks. APC. IFV. Guns. Ammo. Grenades. Rockets. Etc.

Ukraine has been shipped well over 30,000 various rockets. More than Russia has armored vehicles and aircraft COMBINED. Plus, the HUNDREDS they have captured from Russia. Plus, all their own equipment and ammo.

Just the other day Ukraine introduced into battle their own multiple rocket launcher. It can fire 12 rockets on a truck design. it isn’t as high-tech as HIMARS, but it can give blanket coverage similar to Russia’s systems.

The Putinist copium that Ukraine is “outgunned” has not been true for some time.

At this point, Ukrainian morale and success are so high, they don’t even NATO or the West’s help.

Just a few hours ago, Ukrainian forces broke through the Russian lines on the Oskil.

They’re on the march again.
