NYT ^ | 09-AUG-2022 | NYT Live Updates

Posted on 08/09/2022 8:39:43 AM PDT by SpeedyInTexas

An official said the blast on the Russian-occupied peninsula was the result of a Ukrainian strike. Moscow said only that munitions had exploded. An attack in Crimea would represent a significant military advance for Ukraine.

I don’t disagree with you on your points.

However, you don’t critique alien by becoming alien. Because now you are as unreconizeable as the aliens. Of course, your point may well be that you wish to disguise yourself.

If that’s the case, then the better policy is to stay out of the internet.

Agree reality will be unkind and harsh for many.

The democrats have made themselves an existential threat to half the country and half the world

We shall see if works.

This Airbase would have likely been the hub for close air support for maneuver forces around Kherson.

Hitting it seems to indicate that the Operational Plan to liberate the South has progressed beyond initial shaping and Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses (SEAD), and now is targeting Air Supremacy.

After that is achieved, it is typically time to prep the targets and advance. They may want to set some more conditions first, like impeding enemy logistics (cough, Kerch Bridge, cough), Command & Control, or Artillery.

Getting closer. Likely to get more dramatic.

Chad_the_Impaler’s post #36 about aircraft loses would imply that this was a large attack, not just some single shot. If so, its significance is correspondingly greater, demonstrating game changing capability.

Russia had been threatening to hit Kiev command posts, if the Ukrainians hit Crimea. Maybe the new NASAMS Air Defense had to be in place over Kiev, before this Operation could progress.

You just don’t know right from wrong, and you never will. I insist that it is you who should leave.

Go and live somewhere where wrong is right. Up is down. I will never be like you. Ever. And that is final. Go away because your thinking right down to your soul benefits no one and harms many. Your time is up and people like you, failed humans, beasts, will be stamped into earth once and for all and there is nothing you can do about that.

You will reap what you sow and will deserve every drop.

It is common for red Chinese and putinist propaganda nuts to call the USA a dying empire.

Or you could just take a look around you and open your eyes. Guess the gestapo raid by the illegitimate puppet regime on President Trump’s residence means nothing to you.

It isn’t a dying empire. You hate the USA? Why?

Again, have you taken a look around ? Stating a truth is just that. I don’t hate our country, I just hate what’s become of it. Give credit to the Russians, they’re not actively destroying and undermining their own culture as the left has done to America. It’s going to take a century of going in the right direction and ridding ourselves of leftist Satanic Stalinazi evil to put our country back together again to where it was prior to 1965.

As a friend and fellow FReeper, who spent a good chunk of 2021 in Russia, he said it was like seeing what America was 50 years ago. Something that we’ve lost. I know that goes against your visceral hate for Russia, but that’s not my problem. That’s yours.

Not at all. He’s maintaining an excellent pro-family Christian state. Shame we’ve watched that destroyed in America.

Actually he isn’t.

Russia has the highest rate of abortions in Europe.
It also persecuted Evangelicals.
And the patriarch with his KGB links makes Benny Hinn look clean.

I wasn’t aware there was a perfect Christian state on Earth. Surely you’re not going to infer that Ukraine is ?
