Those blue helmets are perfect for sniper targets.....NATO weaponry in action. Armoured vehicles YPR-765 supplied to Ukraine by the Netherlands.......I suspect some of them realize they are but cannon fodder but have not the courage or strength to tell their commanders to go to hell themselves.

Reserves from the eastern front and Kharkov will be transferred to the Dnepropetrovsk region

That should benefit the Russians in the East.

Interesting you put it that way.

The Germans were completely flummoxed by the Russians ability to keep up the grind. They just kept coming, no matter how hard you smashed them.

As it stands, Russians have the cash, fuel and support of the people.

Combined with the Russians' 'cursed capacity for suffering.'

Was advertised for months?
No superiority in troops or tanks?
Greatly outnumbered in artillery?
Zero air support with an enemy that has air superiority?
With a hodgepodge of various donated equipment and barely trained troops?

A country TOLD to do so, part of the western “ Russia Derangement Syndrome”.

I agree, and sprinkle in some vaxxine damage with mass formation psychosis.

I’ve consistently said I don’t believe the propaganda coming out of either side in this war

Agree, with the exception of critical power shortages in Europe related to Russia withholding oil. I believe that completely.

Who launches a major offensive that:

Was advertised for months?
No superiority in troops or tanks?
Greatly outnumbered in artillery?
Zero air support with an enemy that has air superiority?
With a hodgepodge of various donated equipment and barely trained troops?

The globohomo Princesses of the Pentagon and the Craven Instigation Agency - that's who.

Sounds like this report was written in Moscow.

Is Ukraine looking for 10 year olds to operate RPGs?

They'll kill him. The Bandera groups have the control over him and advising him over his general staff.

He will be worth more as a martyr than alive.

"I thought the Russian only had two weeks worth of shells left... last March."

Propaganda is like drugs - never get high on your own supply. Russia has a huge industrial base and a wealth of natural resources. They'll were never going to run out of artillery shells.

Isn’t one supposed to ride *in* the APC and not *on* the APC?

I agree with that, Russia has basically shut off all their oil and gas exports to the Western World, especially natural gas to the EU.

There were a lot more Russians than Germans, and the Russians knew they'd probably be shot by their own side if they retreated.

I wonder how much the loss of the other 14 "republics" has affected the demographic balance. It looks like the ration of Russians to Ukrainians is actually higher than the ratio of Russians to Germans was, but this time it's the Russians who are staying at home more. In the Forties, until late in the war, it was the Germans. Russia put their women in factories and even in the military. Germany tended not to.

Why do you think a forum where the byline is "Where barflies get together" is a reliable source?

"Moon Of Alabama was opened as an independent, open forum for members of the Whiskey Bar community."

Yet somehow they seemed to have won.

Only if your source of information is Russian propaganda.

Watch and see what actually happens.

That “Moon of Alabama” is a stupid stoner nihilist little shit who thinks he is sticking it to his dad when he listens to Russian propaganda and preaches it everywhere.

The new world brought that kids never grow up and that’s why you get puberty rage from 20 and 30 somethings nowadays.

Russia has a huge industrial base

Not really. Their total economy is roughly the size of the economy of Texas, and smaller than California.

Huge applies to nations like the USA or China, not Russia.

I’ve consistently said I don’t believe the propaganda coming out of either side in this war, eventually one side will give up and negotiate.


Agree. However, the level of corruption with Western assistance has given the Ukrainian oligarchs billions of dollars in incentives to not stop 1) the flow of money and 2) continue the conflict to hide the theft of money and materials (corruption).

Putin had largely achieved his goals prior to the start of the conflict but the West kept pushing and now NATO is on the doorstep - supposedly his overarching goal was to avoid this? His decision to begin the conflict does not appear rational to me.

War is the sacrifice of the young for the selfish goals of the old.

Keep drinking the WEF kool-Aid and everything will be all good - until it isn't.

Finance funny money and services are the same thing as industrial capacity.
