Has it ever struck you as odd that vehicles are on both sides of the river?

Overlapping a map of the Donets over recent reports show that Russia has made it beyond the river in numerous other places:

That there were many losses at this one crossing is clear from the photographic evidence...but it doesn't mean much if Russian forces successfully made it across elsewhere.

well, then, if you cannot ascertain the truth in this matter, with such a variety of sources, maybe you ought to just sit this one out

If Russia does move on Moldava, it will spill into Romania with the help of the deep state. Romania is a NATO country and the globalist will get their war they want.

Russia will be in Moldova soon...

They'll take Moldava after they lock up Odessa and the rest of the Black Sea Coast. Once that's done, they'll turn there attention to the remainder of Ukraine, Poland and the Baltics to incorporate them into Mother Russia.

Agreed. It will be generations before Russia is ever to be trusted again. The country is doomed to poverty and isolation.

It’s just depressing to see how the FSB propaganda campaign, targeted less at the ‘useful’ and more at the ‘idiots’, bears such a bountiful return on investment, here of all places.

Not at all. Even though it may come as a surprise to you Ukraine has bridges, and Russians understand that you can cross rivers on bridges.

If you are familiar with the terrain and highways in the areas along the line of contact it is not hard to figure out where logistic lines are.

High losses at one particular location do matter, since the overall resources available to Russia in the front line areas are not unlimited. Their multiple failed crossings at one location also indicate structural weaknesses in their overall combined arms strategy.

Clearly they were unable to suppress or even avoid artillery directed onto that area. That is a problem for them in many other areas as well.

Russia has air superiority.

Not in the way that phrase is normally used in referring to US air superiority. The Ukrainian air force still operates and causes significant damage to the Russian ground, navy, and air forces.

The Russian air force's flight activity is heavily constrained by Ukrainian air defenses and operations.

If it wasn't then we would have to conclude that their air operations were extraordinarily ineffective.

- So both of your responses to my comment is basically, “Russia isn’t communist, America is!” -

It’s just a fact - you’d be hard pressed to find many commies in Russia, while many American cites (and the US Federal Executive Branch) are being run by socialists/commies. Only a delusional person would argue otherwise.

The Media-Deep State-Military Industrial Complex take advantage of the gullible class who are not very aware of what’s going on and can be driven emotionally by a nostalgic fixation on a world that no longer exists.

If one of those pols had struttered out with a swastika armband and identified with what it meant, they certainly would be nazis. But You are trying to compare “seeing shapes in clouds” to to consciously wearing an iconic SS symbol on your military uniform that is notoriously associated with Himmler.

That assertion is bald. Put Rogaine on it, i.e., facts.

They’re stubborn things, impervious to emotionalistic mouth froth, often caused by sucking on things that “homophobes” should not.

Call me when you have any.

The Uke air force is practically nonexistent at this point.

I think the bigger issue is, Putin and some of his most sensible tacticians know that’s a last resort but his media machine is so gung-ho for a nuke launch that it’s turned into a juggernaut.

We know it’s over the top propaganda but the proles in the regions have no alternative sources of information so as far as they’re aware NATO has all but committed to a full scale invasion of Russia with a Nazi army to rival Hitler’s, backed by the Jews and the Globalists, and Russia is boxed in... so that’s brewing a sense of WHY HAVEN’T WE NUKED SOMEONE ALREADY.
