You know you have a fake news addiction issue when you have to use Iranian "news" sources to satisfy the craving.


You know you have superiority complex, maybe even fascist inclination, when you only
value western media, one that brought us Ghost of Kiev and other such garbage

How does Western media make you think there's a fascist inclination?  

You don't really know what fascism means, do you?  Just a word you hear being used to describe bad things.

All the while the people of Donbas being subject to Ukraine's military killing them and destroying their property.

All the while Ukrainian lands being whisked away to become property of humongous American companies.

All the while some 46 Wuhan-style bio-warfare labs being set up in Ukraine.

All the while the US doing coups in the Ukrainian government since at least 2014.

All the while the Bidens and other Dem leaders laundering money thru Ukraine.

All the while the Ukranian peons being pee'd on and thinking it was simply a nice, warm, friendly spring rain.

Cool

If Putin simply Bide(n)s his time, with winter coming and all, Ukraine will fall. The US can't take it, because it will mean the crash of the US money system. So...


In Stunning Strategy Reversal, Pentagon Will No Longer Rule Out Use Of Nuclear Weapons


Well, we're finally there: stocks are officially trading off nuclear war headlines.

Moments ago, as part of his closely-watched speech, Vladimir Putin appeared to talk down the likelihood of a nuclear attack in Ukraine:

*PUTIN: NO POLITICAL, MILITARY REASON IN NUKE STRIKE IN UKRAINE

Which, however, is more than can be said about the US.

As Bloomberg just reported, the Pentagon's new National Defense Strategy rejects limits on using nuclear weapons long championed by arms control advocates (and, in the not too distant past, by Joe Bide) citing burgeoning threats from Russia and China.

Glad we finally found someone who can speak on behalf of the whole country. Now care to provide an example of a nations that don't want to join NATO (if there are any)? Do Belarusians want to join? Serbs? Taiwanese? Australians? How much resources would it take to "convince" a small nation that they want to join NATO? Is it a stable system, if you have a hegemony and global reserve currency what can possible stop you from endless expansion and consumption of more regions? Congrats you have a solution to perpetual word at war! Possible outcomes of conflict in Ukraine, either things go how they were prior to 2014, or Ukraine enters NATO and it starts all over, world gets dragged into the same thing but now to free people in Belarus because they just want to join NATO so muuch!




I guess if the masses don't question why would Russia shoot at the nuclear power plant that it controls, let people out of Mariupol before taking it over, or blow up their own gas pipeline before it's needed the most, they won't question why would UA's Major General of Defence Intelligence Agency want to take Nova Kakhovka dam under artillery fire control, or how exactly that would accelerate Russian withdrawal? I mean people still believe that Orc's just like to shoot at themselves for fun right?? Roll Eyes Or did CNN started to push RU propaganda?

The head of Ukraine’s Defense Intelligence Agency, Major Gen. Kyrylo Budanov told CNN on Wednesday, “the Russians are trying to remove and take with them all the remains of their so-called ‘occupation administration’ from Kherson city and surrounding areas.”
...
 Russia, he said, “realizes and understands the whole difficulty of their situation and they don’t want to be totally encircled.”

Budanov said the Russian withdrawal will accelerate when Ukraine “takes the Nova Kakhovka dam under our artillery fire control.”

“That’s why all our fighting units are moving towards both Kherson and Nova Kakhovka,” he added.

The "gas pipes" were blown up by the RF, international experts have expressed serious concerns about Zapo plant being blown as the RF does not accept a demilitarised zone around it. And, most importantly, the control of the dam is key for Crimea as it may restrict (or allow) the water supply, not something to blow up with artillery (another stupid theory - Ukraine blowing up the key to their hold over Crimea) and that is why it may have been mentioned.

Now, go back to the drawing board of your alternate reality. BTW, curiously and as of now, your link points to this headline:

Ukraine's military intelligence says Russia is reinforcing Kherson with recruits as "cannon fodder"
From CNN's Nic Robertson in Kyiv
Ukraine’s military intelligence says Russia continues to remove its “occupation administration” from the southern Kherson region but is reinforcing the city with recently mobilized recruits and suggests they are being used as “cannon fodder.”

Ah such a concise and clear explanation, so general wants to take the damn under artillery fire because it's a key for Crimea and that's why it'll accelerate Russian withdrawal? Clear as mud, but who cares just need to arrange words in a somewhat readable sentence, targeted audience can't think for themselves anyway.

Quote
"I don't see them [the Russians] running away from Kherson. This is an information attack, I can't disclose everything. This is an attack so that we go there, so that we transfer our troops there from other dangerous directions. It was their [Russian] information operation. They [the Russians] are not ready to leave Kherson. But they know that if we succeed, they won't be able to leave. The Russians are aware of this problem and danger," Zelensky said.

Ukraine Situation Report: Intel Chief Says Russia Is Reinforcing Kherson City

Blowing the Soviet-era dam, which is controlled by Russia, would unleash a wall of devastating floodwater across much of the Kherson region which Russia last month proclaimed as annexed in the face of a Ukrainian advance.
https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/is-kakhovka-dam-ukraine-about-be-blown-2022-10-21/

I'm sure by "artillery fire control" what the general really meant was "to secure and provide safety for" and it will accelerate withdrawal because Russians will just piss their pants and run away from such provided safety to the damn! Right? I need this, please lie to me some more!

Ask any friend you have in the military why they want to have a dam they intend to eventually control firstly "in artillery range". Hint 1: When you are not in the enemy's artillery range, the enemy cannot shell your position to dust. Hint 2: if you are under shelling, it is usually a bad idea to stay there. Read carefully: Not the dam, the military positions around the dam. I hope this is correctly understood.

I just said why, but it aaaaalll right... I can say it again: Nearly all the water supply to Crimea comes from the canal on the east bank near the dam. The general is sending a clear message to the world: "The RF is about to loose a critical asset to hold the grip on Crimea".

I rarely say anything categorically, but on this case, it is very clear that it would ridiculously stupid for Ukraine to blow that dam. The sad thing is that, if it ever happens nobody would claim ownership of the f**kup.

Ahhh well now you cleared it up, so when general says when he "takes the Nova Kakhovka dam under our artillery fire control.”  what he's actually talking about is the military positions that just happened to be around the dam, and the dam being in the vicinity of this is just a silly coincidence. Now this is a story i can believe! Why would Ukraine blow up the damn that brings fresh water to Crimea that would be nonsense right?  Undecided



The point is to underline the absurdity of the claims, not sure where you're seeing ura-patriotism!?!

Absurdity of which claims? You're the one throwing a bunch of random stuff out here, mostly Kremlin propaganda in the form of loaded or rhetorical questions. Granted that's quite absurd so mission accomplished I guess.

What is pretty certain that if damn is blown while over 50% of Kherson is under RU control, then Orcs just like to shoot at themselves, if it's blown when UA takes over 50% then RU are terrorists.

Well, that's an easy one to avoid. Don't blow up the dam.
...
does it really matter outside of posturing and these forum bickering? What interests me more are concrete indicators of the conflict turning one way or the other. Let me ask you this, what are some major indicators for you that Ukraine might be loosing? (Or it's just inconceivable for you?)

If it starts losing that would be a major indicator that it might be losing....

Don't blow up the dam? But Russia is adding reinforcements to Kherson down the dam and without the dam Crimea would loose its fresh water access. And you know how Russia likes to blow up their gas pipes and shell their nuclear plants, not sure if they can just hold back from blowing up the dam that helps them so much?

Losing when it might be losing, you could've just said that it's inconceivable to you.

At the risk of making this a serious thread instead of the clown circus that BA likes, I wonder how would an strategy to take Zapo nuclear plant would look like. It would require an encirclement of quite a length and laser precision in all an any action to avoid and invitation to a rad-party with a +20. It also would need to include a quite difficult river crossing.

I wonder if some independent-thinking psycho could even decide to win the war by himself - one does not get to own a red button every day you know.

I'm just glad that Russians are at least evacuating civilians! Ukraine's window of opportunity is shrinking, winter is coming it'll take away mobility and cover which Ukraine managed to greatly use to its advantage. Ukraine needs to throw in all it got before that, is it enough to take Kherson?

I'm sure your strategic advice is very valuable to the Ukrainian armed forces but they'll probably ignore it and continue doing what they've been successfully doing for the last few months. Here's an illustration in case you forgot.

Loading...
(maps from https://liveuamap.com)

i have no idea (i didn't even think UA could take all that land by Kharkiv), do you consider it or Bakhmut a decisive battle?

Bakhmut is a decisive battle for Prigozhin. He desperately needs to show a "victory" to boost his image and get more financing for his criminal army.

does it really matter outside of posturing and these forum bickering? What interests me more are concrete indicators of the conflict turning one way or the other. Let me ask you this, what are some major indicators for you that Ukraine might be loosing?

If it starts losing that would be a major indicator that it might be losing. So far I'd say that all this desperate BS about dirty bombs, and the new cannon fodder returning home boxed-up within a couple of weeks after being mobilized, and the fairy tales about taking Kyiv again - everything points to Russia nowhere near being able to reverse the momentum.

Seems pretty clear that out of control corruption and Yanukovych refusing to sign the trade agreement were the main reasons for the revolution.  Not cookies.  Not even evil America.  The guy was turning Ukraine into a Kleptocracy and not even bothering to pretend he wasn't.  


If corruption is main reason for revolution, and it got WORSE after Yanukovych got overthrown,
why we didn't see more revolutions? Could it be that corrupt money was flowing in right
direction after he got overthrown, so there was no reason and no cookies?




Well it didn't get worse after Yanukovych fled to Russia before being impeached and charged for treason, corruption, etc.

And why do you keep bringing up cookies?  Is that really the best thing you can come up with?  The US ambassador handed out cookies to protestors?  

Ukraine wants to join NATO.
NATO won't let Ukraine in as long as Putin Puppets are in power.
Obviously NATO countries will support protests against Putin puppets and be happy to see them removed from power.  Ukraine benefits, NATO benefits.  

It's really that simple.  

Glad we finally found someone who can speak on behalf of the whole country. Now care to provide an example of a nations that don't want to join NATO (if there are any)? Do Belarusians want to join? Serbs? Taiwanese? Australians? How much resources would it take to "convince" a small nation that they want to join NATO? Is it a stable system, if you have a hegemony and global reserve currency what can possible stop you from endless expansion and consumption of more regions? Congrats you have a solution to perpetual word at war! Possible outcomes of conflict in Ukraine, either things go how they were prior to 2014, or Ukraine enters NATO and it starts all over, world gets dragged into the same thing but now to free people in Belarus because they just want to join NATO so muuch!




I guess if the masses don't question why would Russia shoot at the nuclear power plant that it controls, let people out of Mariupol before taking it over, or blow up their own gas pipeline before it's needed the most, they won't question why would UA's Major General of Defence Intelligence Agency want to take Nova Kakhovka dam under artillery fire control, or how exactly that would accelerate Russian withdrawal? I mean people still believe that Orc's just like to shoot at themselves for fun right?? Roll Eyes Or did CNN started to push RU propaganda?

Quote
The head of Ukraine’s Defense Intelligence Agency, Major Gen. Kyrylo Budanov told CNN on Wednesday, “the Russians are trying to remove and take with them all the remains of their so-called ‘occupation administration’ from Kherson city and surrounding areas.”
...
 Russia, he said, “realizes and understands the whole difficulty of their situation and they don’t want to be totally encircled.”

Budanov said the Russian withdrawal will accelerate when Ukraine “takes the Nova Kakhovka dam under our artillery fire control.”

“That’s why all our fighting units are moving towards both Kherson and Nova Kakhovka,” he added.

I believe that with the continuation of the special military operation, it becomes more and more urgent to carry out the de-Satanization of Ukraine.

(written by some KGB stooge so you know this is about as serious as "denazification")

Do not feed the pets please, they are already take a balanced intake of phantasy, delusion, elucubration and wishful thinking that is best for the "piose" as "outsiders" and for a great shiny hair.

There is only one way that de-Satanization works for anybody, be it person, family, or nation. This is through believing in the existence of God and His Son, Jesus. And the believing comes through reading or listening to what is written in the Bible.

The point is, you jokers need to get de-Satanized. If you don't, the pains - and worse - that are being suffered by Ukrainians - and some Russians in Ukraine - will be falling on you one of these days.

You know you have a fake news addiction issue when you have to use Iranian "news" sources to satisfy the craving.

b) Winter may not play a role as much as it did in WWII. Things have changed quite a bit. Particularly near Kherson, the temperature in winter is certainly not enough to stop operations by modern standards. Whoever is counting on that is up for a surprise.
Winter will serve Russia indirectly, given the economic war it is waging against Ukraine's allies regarding gas. Winter is always on the side of the Russians.

c) The RF is not backfilling with "soldiers" is backfilling the estimated 80.000 soldiers killed with a number of forced conscripts with little training and no will to fight. That is not a "soldier" that is a "slave" wielding a weapon.
I agree with you on this point because all the Russian armed forces, in addition to the reserve forces that were forcibly called up, do not have enough experience to fight a field war in the classical way. But we should not forget the large number of these soldiers, who are undoubtedly capable of making a difference, no matter how many losses they have.

As for your knowledge of history, it sucks. Napoleon experienced winter far north, pretty much from  Moscow and on the way back to France with XIX century equipment - and not even winter equipment as such - and no supply lines. Ukraine is fighting at home with the backing of most developed countries.
What I meant by the example of Napoleon was not to acknowledge that Russia had succeeded in defeating him, but rather that winter was and always is a catalyst for Russia.
