Time to start diggin’ that coal again, Germans. Also the Brits. Screw the enviros.
Sure it does, it opens the door for a direct assault on Kherson City, that which the BidenIdiot dementia-ridden Administration has steadily been demanding Zelenskyyidiot to take so as show a ‘victory’ for Ukraine and more US support which is increasingly coming under heavy fire at home within the US.....
One’s disadvantage is another’s
opportunity. It is clear who and why have set it into motion and it is not Putin.
Europe is set to lose the most, and the poorest countries, the latter are used to suffering and won’t make a big deal out of it.
Russia is going to suffer a little bit but guaranteed to come out at least politically stronger and more militarised.
For China there is no alternative in the world as an industrial powerhouse.
Europe is likely to convert into a sort of Latin America.

Hardly. Kherson city is already effectively cut off from supply or reinforcement. I expect the garrison to withdraw, or attempt to, rather soon, along of course with the whole pocket across the Dneiper.
The real issue for the Ukrainians is where to go from there. They want intact or repairable bridges across the Dneiper. Blowing the dam will eliminate all of them.
Do you believe it? Although I think that most of the democrat objectives are reached in Europe.
Ain’t no hardly to it.
It’s fact.
BidenIdiot has been hammering ZelenskyyIdiot to take Kherson city proper to show a ‘victory’ at home so as to continue justifying sending support to Ukraine.
Ukraine better hope Repubs don’t utterly tsunami DEMs in Nov. cause even the Repubs are increasingly turning against further support of any type to Ukraine (other than the NEOCON assholes like RINO GrahamIdiot, etc.). The public pressure to dump Ukraine is steadily growing.
Makes perfect sense why Ukraine would seriously consider blowing the dam.
The real problem for Ukraine is where to bury their dead. The evacuation of civilians means thst Russia is likely to take a stand. Which proved fatal for the Ukies earlier no matter how badly the Russians were outnumbered.
It is also probably the last battle where Ukies enjoy the numerical advantage.
Both Ukrainian and Russian reports from various social media sites (Twitter and such) have been indicating that Kherson city proper has been turned into a fortress by the Russians.
Good luck to the Ukrainians taking it short of the dam being blown and possible effects/affects from that hitting Kherson city proper.
Ukrainian offensives in the direction of Kherson city proper have already been stalled or eradicated.

I am not a huge fan of RINO McCarthyIdiot, at all.
So I am and have taken his mention with a grain of salt.
Pretty much taken the ‘Actions speak louder than words’ stance with him and others.
❗️The urgent meeting between the British and US defense ministers is linked to Russia’s alleged use of Iranian drones in Ukraine.
According to The Telegraph, a personal meeting of ministers was needed “because of concerns about the security of communications between the Pentagon and the British Department of Defense.”
Wallace’s visit to Washington came after British Major General James Martin said “the West no longer controls the skies on the battlefield” due to Russia’s use of drones.
Earlier, the Kremlin and the Iranian Foreign Ministry denied the use of Iranian drones in Ukraine.
“...”the West no longer controls the skies on the battlefield” due to Russia’s use of drones...”
Arguably, Ukraine did not control the skies or have any type air-superiority over Ukraine given that most of the Ukraine air forces was trashed/incapacitated within the first week or so of the start of the war/conflict.
Russia’s use of drones has just simply EXPOSED a huge, huge weakness/flaw with Ukraine’s ability to interdict missiles, drones, etc., especially with key cities and critical infrastructure zones/areas.
They need some Russian electromagnetic pulse ray guns destroy them suicide/kamikaze drones......./s
A blow from where they did not expect.

It seems that the states of the Persian Gulf have seriously taken a course towards strengthening subjectivity and complete independence from Western overlords.

🇺🇦🇷🇺⚡️The movement of the Armed Forces of Ukraine began in the Kherson direction.
The enemy forces began to advance in the direction of Novaya Kamenka - Berislav with forces consisting of two battalions. They are supported by cannon artillery, UAVs in the sky.
The West never controlled the skies over the battlefield.
General Sergei Surovikin, also known as “The Butcher” and “General Armageddon.” One of the worst of the war criminals and perpetrators of atrocities against civilians.
Malaysia is halting exports due to pipeline malfunction and China outright bans LNG exports as well.
Dehumanization is a two-way street. Keep it up and you’d see the US personnel tracked and brought for public executions over things like drone strikes on families.
