There is growing "discontent" - both on the battlefield and at home.
He told Express.co.uk: "Russia is in big trouble because Ukraine has been making serious advances in both the northeast and in the south. Russia does not seem to be capable and have enough troops to resist Ukraine's advances at present.
"When you combine this with the botched mobilisation, you are seeing much greater discontent there as a result of what is happening on the battlefield and also at home."
"We're also seeing some of Russia's allies seriously doubting what Russia is doing and, in some cases, distancing themselves from Russia.
Putin has a very big problem on his hands which probably won't be remedied immediately by the mobilisation he is making. Those forces won't be deployed quickly enough or in a good enough state to make a big difference."
Colonel Kemp also warned some of Putin's strongest global allies are starting to cast huge doubt over his war plan.
Most recently, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan summoned Putin for a crunch meeting in Kazakhstan as patience continues to wear thin over the Russian President's war plans in Ukraine.
Colonel Kemp said: "Putin's global allies and partners are also starting to lose confidence and faith in his war plan, and that will become a very big problem for him.
"For the first time, we have seen criticism and uncertainty from the likes of China, India and Turkey - three countries he really needs to have on side to an extent.
"We have seen dissent from the leaders of each of those counties over the past few weeks, as well as very important allies such as Kazakhstan - a former Soviet state which has always been very close to Russia - is now distancing themselves from Russia."

Putin is the organ grinder, and that YouTube homo guy is his monkey. There are better videos on YouTube that are pro-Ukrainian.
No it isn't. If you keep going though you will run out of goat herder fingers to pull, then you should watch yourself, you never know what will be offered next. The 8 month vs 20 year analogy is spot on. You chose to argue that point and that's fine. You even added bullet points. I don't care.
I have a much less mature one in mind…..
Knock yourself out. Just don't be mad bro.
My point is your comparison is ridiculous.
No matter which digit you favor.
They have feet that don’t do as much damage as hooves and they tolerate heat. Some people don’t like the thought of eating them because 1/ they don’t eat meat at all or 2/ they are incredibly engaging and a national symbol. The aboriginal tribes ate them for millenia. The meat is very dark red. Very high in protein and low in fat. Taste is gamey. Occasionally I will cook roo sausages.
My point is, you're counter point is ridiculous. Just because you don't want to hear it doesn't make it wrong. It doesn't make it right. That's why it's an opinion. I get it that you guys like to shut down opinions you don't like, it's just that I don't play that crap.
No matter which digit you favor.
The digits are being offered to you. I don't favor any of it.
You have the MSM in your corner and that by itself rings alarm bells with many conservatives. As pointed out in another thread, 3 years ago the NT was running articles about hardcore nazi elenents in the Ukraine. Now the same nazis are saints and valiant heroes. As for insults. Yeh, well there are plenty doing it. Me included. I can’t speak for others, but I will try to lift my game for sure
Needless to say, that massive missile strikes by Russia continue all over 404 and there are reports of massive explosions and power outages in Nikolaev and other places, plus Kiev remains to be targeted. And, as was expected, all VSU attempts to perform "offensives" have been repelled with massive losses for VSU, including at Kremennaya and Svatovo (in Russian), but NATO--let's drop the pretense here--will try to throw as much cannon fodder at Russian formations as possible because they need something, like "breakthrough" in some sectors, because the Midterms are coming and Russians amassing troops for obvious things. Time is running out.
So, there are signs that the realization of grim reality begins to descend on Washington D.C.
I was on record for years--pardon me for my pleasure in reminding everyone--that NATO cannot fight a real war with the peer. Russia is not just the peer, Russia fields combat capabilities many of which are simply non-existent anywhere in NATO (US, of course, included). This becomes increasingly obvious both through operational and strategic incompetence of NATO planners and through admissions of such nature as by Austin or, if you read further, by:
Mark Cancian is a senior adviser at the Center for Strategic & International Studies who spent seven years working on DOD procurement issues for the Office of Management and Budget. His assessment based on inventory levels, industrial capacity, and information from the Biden administration is that the U.S. has "limited" supplies of HIMARs, Javelins, Stingers and M-777 Howitzers. "There are some areas where we’re basically at the bottom of the barrel," he told Fox News Digital. In some cases, this means the U.S. will likely start meeting Ukraine’s request for weaponry by sending over lower-end substitutions, such as lighter Howitzers that are serviceable but not what Ukraine is after. In other cases, the U.S. may not have much to give – Cancian said that while there is talk of the U.S. providing more air defense equipment, there is not much the U.S. can give in that area. Cancian said he reads Austin comments as a sign that the days of the U.S. giving Ukraine its best stuff are gone.

But this fast review may give you some glimpse into the "thinking" by NATO planners who need something, anything to show for their failed "offensives" and to somehow spin (to cover up, that is) an atrocious record of the US-made weaponry (plus from other lapdogs) in real combat conditions. There will be a talk about well documented utter failure of the US AGM-88 HARM missiles against Russian Air Defense, but we need to be patient and wait for the conclusion of the active part of SMO and with anti-terrorist operations by FSB and MVD coming at the forefront of this war. In the end, terrorism is the only type of war combined West excels at.

I would try Roo meat for sure. I don’t mind gamey at all. But how tough is it? I would think very tough due to them being wild animals and being so muscular. At least in some places. So grind into hamburger?
I knew in advance that Roo meat is available in Australia, for you Wild Colonial Boys. A great place to live except for your vaxxx policies. Which should fade into the forgotten past as soon as possible. I saw your comments on the 1.5 million Chinese who live there, and agree 100%. I saw how the CCP decided to punish Australia by boycotting your coal exports.
But looking at the map you are still 4-5 thousand miles away from China and in a different hemisphere. So you got that. :)
Putin would stomp you into a mudhole. Bet.
It’s suprisingly tender and marinates well. Sausages are the preferred consumption route for me personsally. The two major super market chains in Aus, Coles and Woolworths, have been selling roo steaks, cubed and sausages for a fair while now. Regarding China, they have the Indonesian archipelago to contend with in an attack on us. Indonesians have memories of the 60’s when chinese in indonesia were heavily involved in an attempted commie takeover. There was widespread killings of chinese. They are unlikely to countenance Chinese flyovers. The Chinese are trying another long game strategy of buttering up Papua New Guinea and Solomon islands. Its risky for them because the people there are quick to turn on the chinese who they see as money money profiteers.
“Putin would stomp you into a mudhole. Bet.”
Methinks you are projecting once again. That you would love to be stomped by your zero hero. You would come up for air, and beg Pooot for some more.
Anyways, keep it up, stooge. You never cease to be entertaining here. Like Clownski Kazan, who you are competing with. BobL is an island of reason n rationality, compared to you.
Send me and others this via more spammed out BS FR MAIL, kthx.
“Send me and others this via more spammed out BS FR MAIL, kthx.”
When the (FR) phone don’t ring, I’ll know it’s you. Let’s keep it this way before you boil over. Chump.
More made up BS FR MAIL when?
You might want to get with your neo-Nazi boss lady, RevMom, and check, kthx.
“You have the MSM in your corner...”
They’re not in my corner.
“... 3 years ago the NT was running articles about hardcore nazi elenents in the Ukraine.”
And Russia. And? And they’re clearly not very hardcore if they’re fighting for a Jewish president. Nazism in Ukraine has been wildly exaggerated. Also, completely missed by many people is that those who are attracted to it are often attracted to it precisely because it is repugnant to communists or other groups. How else would you explain Mongolian nazism? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cqMFA9i1ua8 It’s about pissing off the Chinese communists!
“Now the same nazis are saints and valiant heroes.”
I understand what you’re saying, but what Nazis? Can you name any of them? I mean, without looking any up online, can you name any? Doesn’t that show in itself that they are not being held up as saints and heroes in any great sense?
The United States embraced nazis like Larry Thorne (a Green Beret no less who came from the Waffen SS) and Wernher von Braun. Are they not heroes?
“As for insults. Yeh, well there are plenty doing it. Me included. I can’t speak for others, but I will try to lift my game for sure”
I respect that! And I appreciate it too.
“ My point is, you’re counter point is ridiculous. Just because you don’t want to hear it doesn’t make it wrong.”
I vociferously disagree.
I stand by my post that your comment comparing America’s military actions in the Middle East and Russia invading Ukraine is ridiculous.
I outlined salient points to explain why your comment was ridiculous.
That you don’t want to hear it is your problem, not mine.
I meant the MSM in Ukraine’s corner. Should have made that explicit. Do you think the MSM is in Ukraine’s corner? If not, could you give reasons why? Regarding naming individual Ukrainian nazis,I can’t name off the top of my head. But generally speaking Azov comes to mind as a group. Don’t you think it is natural to point out Ukraine has a hardcore group of Ukrainian nationalists who are blatantly nazi. And it important given the role of Ukrainian nationalist nazis in Himmler’s SS in particular. Nearly 250,000. Apparently only 5 Americans are recorded as volunteering for the SS.
You people are beyond the pale. Every blasted one of you ukenutZ pick a point and obsess over it. The same bunch will take a simple truth and twist it in to something it isn't. You're nuts. Here is my comment:
“ Get back to US when they have been at this for 20 years and have to walk away humiliated. Goat herders say, “Pull my finger”.
That was in answer to one of the regulars posting that 8 months and Russia is losing. That's retarded. It took US 20 years to turn tail in Afghanistan. That is just a simple truth. We all watched it. You watched it. Now, quit humping my leg.
Stop pissing on my leg and saying it’s raining.
The two different military actions are NOT comparable.
It’s not nit picky. It’s not a detail.
They are apples and hand grenades.
Finally, you're right. One has been under way for 8 months, the other lasted 20 years. Why didn't I think of that?
