Ukrainian forces are completing the liberation of the western (right) bank of Kherson Oblast after the Russians retreated from it. The Russian Ministry of Defense (MoD) claimed that Russian forces completed the withdrawal to the eastern (left) bank of the Dnipro River at 5am local time on November 11.[1] While contingents of Russian soldiers likely remain on the west bank, they are likely scattered throughout the Oblast and attempting to retreat as Ukrainian forces push towards the Dnipro River, although some may have remained behind to attempt to conduct partisan activities in small groups. It is unclear how many Russian soldiers remain on the west bank at this time. Russian sources noted that the withdrawal lasted three days and claimed that 20,000 Russian personnel and 3,500 units of military equipment moved across the Dnipro River.[2]
Satellite imagery corroborates statements made by both Ukrainian and Russian sources that Russian troops destroyed the Antonivsky Bridge and Railway Bridge (near Kherson City) and the Nova Kakhovka dam bridge (east of Kherson City near Nova Kakhovka) over the Dnipro River and the Darivka Bridge (northeast of Kherson City) over the Inhulets River in a final attempt to block Ukrainian advances towards central Kherson Oblast (see images in-line with text).[3] Geolocated satellite imagery also indicates that Russian troops have prepared first and second lines of defense south of the Dnipro River and will likely continue efforts to consolidate positions on the left bank in the coming days.[4]

Imagine if Ukraine was bombed like Laos. The most bombed country in history. The U.S dropped an incredible 270 million cluster bombs on it in 9 years. If the Russkies want lessens in how to do bombing right, they know who to call
Indeed.
In the News/Activism forum, on a thread titled RUSSIAN OFFENSIVE CAMPAIGN ASSESSMENT, NOVEMBER 11, buwaya wrote: $60 Billion is - .6% of the 9 Trillion in (reported) assets of just Blackrock, just one US financial entity. And thats just finance. How much do you think are the stakes these people are playing for? How much is the skim off a ridiculously complex, highly regulated economy? US “national wealth” is in the vicinity of $153 Trillion, though probably only God knows what it all comes to. Go get out your calculator.
60 billion isnt even pocket change, its pocket lint.
In the US you are facing those veritable thrones, dominions, principalities and powers. Understand what you are looking at.
Actually, the Dems and other so-called 'elites' have lost financial ground with President Trump's EO's cutting the financial ground out from beneath them. Their money is drying up and 60 billion helps Biden(s) 'take the edge off'. It doesn't take 60 billion to keep Hunter happy, and the 'big guy' was 'happy' with 10% of a previous package that was far less than 60 billion. It's bizarre that you think that 60 billion is 'pocket lint.'
Even so, 60 billion is just AMerican money flowing to the Ukraine. The puppeteers 'handling' Biden ALSO provide 'foreign aid' in the billions to Ukraine and, faithful money launderinig operation that it is, the Ukraine then passes on funds Biden needs (to give to Obama) to fund black ops. Why don't you know this?
Money laundering means the players get and give funds as needed to destroy the US - right now the failing Democratic party has benifitted from foreign funding throughout their midterm candidacy and dirty money fuels the fraud that's going on.
If we want to cut funding to The STEAL then we need to cut funding to the Deep Staters drawing on their Ukrainian 'accounts.'
The ultimate goal of the Globalists whom Biden, Pelosi, Schumer, Obama etc. serve is to install missiles in the Ukraine which can reach the Crimea and they've been working for 8 years to prepare the Ukraine to enact the proxy war we're now seeing. Putin doesn't want Russia to be a vassal of the globalists and they won't take 'no' for an answer.
78 days US and NATO bombed Serbia, Serbian infrastructure, etc.
Christopher Andrews was of the opinion that Golitsyn was a bit of a crackpot when it came to this business about a deliberate KGB job to foster the illusion of a soviet/CCP split.
The West doesn’t get all tear jerky about bombing anyone and anything to achieve the objective. I think the Russians made the mistake of thinking they should not upset western opinion too much and held back on immediately bombing Ukraine into the stone age right at the outset. Kind of like how the Israelis pussy foot around with Hamas so as not to offend western couch potatoes
Its amazing how dense Russians and their supporters are.
BREAKING: Ukrainian soldiers were greeted with emotional hugs and flowers as they arrived in the heart of Kherson on Friday after Russian troops withdrew from the city.
While I have varying thoughts as to why or why not Russia did not engage in a US/NATO/Western style of bombing campaign on Kyiv/Ukraine, you make some very valid points, Sir.
The powers that be certainly aren’t losing ground.
Look, overt US politics is a sideshow. Its full of Gimps, geeks, bearded ladies, loin-clothed strongmen and dancing dwarfs. They entertain the crowd. Nothing important is decided there. These people are on salary plus commission. Biden and his committee that deals with his medication and diapers are part of the sideshow.
That guy who runs Blackrock and the President of Harvard both matter a lot more than the whole senate, and nobody elects them.
You can’t refute documented corruption so you insist 60 billion dollars is lint and point the other direction, saying other people have more power than the Biden regime.
Diminishing the importance of 60 billion dollars subtracted from the AMerican economy while our country teeters on strategic economic collapse, and minimizing the damage that fueling the Biden regime and ruling Democrats with taxpayer money laundered in the Ukraine are remarkably poor ways to condone the propping up of the Zelensky puppet show.
Americans earned resources that Biden and his co-conspirators are stealing for themselves, this at a time they are intentionally impoverishing us and working to collapse our economy and end freedom.
America needs to get out of the Ukraine, no matter who thinks our country’s corruption and destruction are metaphorically ‘lint’.
“There are millions of Mexicans native to Texas, for example, who have been here since before Texas joined the USA.”
Early Texas had almost no people and very few Mexicans “In 1790 the total population in Texas was 2,510”.
In 1830 Texas had about 5,000 Mexicans and they were about 20% of the population.
“ Cranked has an account from 2009 and yet the first I’ve seen him is the war with Russia/Ukraine.”
Except that isn’t true. Cranked’s life is on the internet and he was posting constantly before Ukraine.
Is ukranazi propaganda - Putin
Russia retreats and much whining about neocons ensues.
It was brought to my attention that I was incorrect in a statement I made in this thread. I did not (and still do not) have any memory of you prior to the current war, but a poster took the time to go through your posting history and found activity as far back as 2019.
So in that event, I will do something you Putinist trolls never do: I correct the record, you really have been posting prior to the start of this present conflict.
I thank Ansel12 for taking what was likely a tedious effort of checking out your posting history and bringing it to my attention.
Uncle Vladimir will make it all good.
You’re right, the Russian military does suck.
The Bidens are corrupt. They should be prosecuted and sent to prison. But in the big picture Biden and Co are petty crooks, have no real power and don’t matter. They take orders, they don’t give them. They are just tools, and easily replaceable ones to boot. They aren’t the cause of your problems.
Obama also was a figurehead BTW. He had no original ideas and did as he was told.
The damage you are seeing is the result of decisions made by people higher up.

Whatever the importance of the puppets, America is being drained of money and weapons to fuel the current Biden regime oppressing us, and his fellow conspirators. We must not give aid and comfort to the enemy, even if you minimize their importance. Biden is destroying the economy from his 'mere' puppet status vantage point. It doesn't matter where he falls in the globalist pecking order - we shouldn't pay him via taxpayer funds laundered through the Ukraine, to destroy us. We need to cut the funding off for the Dem leadership (Pelosi, Schumer, Biden etc.).
Money sent to the Ukraine fuels our immediate oppressors in the Dem leadership and it fuels their handlers in China and other globalists hubs. We have to stop paying our enemies to destroy us. Stop sending money and weapons to the Ukraine. An estimated 40% of the weapons sent to the Ukraine have already been resold to OTHER enemies, including ISIS. We have NO REASON to intervene in the Ukraine.
