Topic: Russian Invasion of Ukraine[In Progress] - page 35. (Read 69425 times)

'We' where so demoralized by NATO making it almost half way to the Surovikin Line in some areas during their 'greatest counter-offensive', and burning only 100k or so Ukriod slavs in the process, that we slunk away and are in hiding.  Just waiting for the inevitable fall Crimea and invasion of Moscow which should be right around the corner.  Just ask Zelinskii!

I heard that the Canuks went up to evaluate the defensive work on the Belarus line.  What they found was nothing had been done and ALL of the money had been stolen.  Tens of Billions with a 'B'!  No big surprise as the same thing happened pretty much everywhere else as well.  NATO has their work cut out for them to make up for lost time, and it looks like Russia is going to end up with at least half of the economic value of the former Ukraine.

NATO's (by way of the WEF installed heads of state in most of the 'Western' countries) obvious mission is to make Larry Fink's investments in the former pale of settlement pay off.  Probably by now the best they can do is to limit his losses.  At least they can burn a ton of the non-chosen souls in the process which is, apparently, one of their mitzvahs or some shit like that.  I've got my popcorn out to watch the reaction when it's no longer possible to explain away dead Westerners via the small plane accidents excuse which they are using for high ranking officers at the moment.

Everything is natural, Russia has stirred up the beehive. I think when the F-16s appear it will be much more interesting.

Lol, you say this right against the backdrop of a breakthrough of the static front line in the direction of Toretsk since 2014. Russia again caught the Ukrainian Armed Forces rotating brigades, just as during the breakthrough in Ocheretino. Moreover, the commander of the OGV, General Sodol, was drinking vodka at a restaurant in Odessa at that time.

If this scandal flares up, and everything is heading that way, Ukraine will again have to change the entire General Staff, although I’m not sure that Zelensky has such a long bench.

They have probably decided to enlist and go to the front   - or they are trying cancel culture stuff, it does not matter - it never did.

News today talk about an uprising in dagestan, Southern Ruzzia. Some unconfirmed rumours point to an armed insurrection of shorts? Or maybe just a mass shooting? https://kyivindependent.com/media-counter-terrorism-operation-regime-institute-in-russias-dagestan-amid-deadly-attacks/. Empires always fall from the edges to the interior, but I am getting carried away.

For now, fronts quite stable, and that is at the cost of a huge material burn-out by Ruzzia, so it is not stable because "nobody is doing anything".

No sign of the victorious Russian trolls, have they gone partying in the Suwałki Gap now that we're closing day 1000 of the 3 days operation?

Russia is on path of losing more tanks in Ukraine than the US in ww2 but I assume everything is fine, now they have NK as an ally, and SK as an enemy, another master gambler loser move.

Latest news confirm the continued support from several European countries. It is not as bright and shiny as the US signing 60 billion on  single bill, but little by little several additional air defence systems are being transferred, to a total of 7 patriot batteries now active. My guess is that there are several reasons why the f16 are not yet in Ukraine, but one important is being able to protect these.

Meanwhile Trump again buys the full Kremlin narrative about Ukraine being "part of Ruzzia" or not "independent", etc... I wonder what kind of "negotiator" would start by fully echoing the arguments of the guy in front? This guy should not be running even a local Starbucks.

Next week the EU is passing 2 Billion from the revenue produced by Ruzzian assets, currently frozen, to Ukraine. I guess this is true brotherhood and solidarity from Ruzzia, paying Ukraine to defend itself from the enemy... that is Ruzzia.

Yeah, mate. I kinda knew you were aware of that people like us who want to stand against barbarism and darkness should stick together. I'm glad I wasn't mistaken.

We are waking up today to 3 drone strikes in three oil storage facilities, all of them deep inside Ruzzia. Ukraine works again on the strategy of making sure the war is more costly to Ruzzia than any possible benefit they may get from it. In a way, this is another card that may be present at a negotiating table... I mean, some day, in the veery distant future.

This makes sure Putin understand that there is a lot to keep loosing for very tiny ground gains and Ukraine can and will strike millions worth of infrastructure every day.

Kim-Yong is not used to receive visits, to the point that he and Putin go about telling the other into the car first 3 times and when the Ruzzian ministers are told to sit on the negotiating table, they are sent away a minute after   what a show! But as said, when you have no guests for several decades, you kind of forget about protocol.

Get in... now get out... this is the North Korean way

Not to mention the German made car, looking more like a Hem-party limo, where Putin, Kimmy and the thankfully thin interpreter are taking a walk in a street full of Putin's faces, but also empty of People.

But anyway, the deal is clear. Kimmy sell big shell stuff... Putin will give Kimmy the jewels Ruzzi nuclear and missile programme. You do not need an interpreter... nor a meeting to be honest.

Good news!
I hope they will be even better.

The Ukrainian drones are working hard every day - this is costing a fortune, even a large country like Ruzzia can feel the effects of having the fuel blown up over and over in any facility that sits 1500 km from Ukraine. It is time to think if the "peace plan" of getting all Putin wants (even the bits he has not yet occupied) and giving nothing should be revisited. Who I am kidding... it will not.

Edit: It is official, the Rostov re-fueling terminal is burning. No more re-fueling for ships in the area until repaired.

Yes, they are under blockade, now the Ukrainian Armed Forces are deciding how to destroy them

There are rumours of a contingent of Ruzzian soldiers, anything between 60 and 400, that seem to be trapped in the Kharkiv direction. This is the legacy of a plan that was such a poor idea by Putin that nobody could believe that they were actually trying it for real. Yet there it is, an stalled offensive, lots of killed and quite a bit of material destroyed all around Belgorod and now permission from US to strike inside Ruzzia as a bonus.

Some advice for Trump:

Sorry, I misread you. You did not post spam. My apologies, my comment was not adequate. I think was actually trying to answer to some other user  , there are sometime comments that come from people not read the thread (I mean, it is impossible, but at least some comments).

You are right, a martingale from Putin ends with zero. doubling the bet requires to have a bigger wallet than your opponents and that is not the case. Ukraine and allies simply have a bigger wallet. Some people would argue that Putin has a large nuclear arsenal, but I frankly think that if you have 200 nukes you do not need any more, the world is so destroyed by then that there is no "winner".

I don't understand your hostility. I'm on your side, mate. Being a gambler I said, from my own experience, that Putin's strategy of martingale is a desperate strategy and he will lose everything soon. What's wrong with that? (If you think that I posted that to spam for my sig campaign, you can check the rules for my campaign and see that posts in "Politics & Society" are not counted).

I think people who are standing against Putin's aggression should be more supportive to each other.

That's dumBAss parallel universe news, but meanwhile on planet earth...

So keep pushing the agenda. You already had to take a high-G manoeuvre when Trump stated that Ukraine is actually important for the US. You next 360 high-G is going to be when Trump decides that trying to weaken the US dollar is not only impossible, but vey likely to get him out of office (if he ever gets to office in the first place, which is nothing granted)

^^^ Don't have to buy USD on the black market. BRICS joined BIS (Bank for International Settlements). Now even Ukrainians can trade in Rubles - Ukraine banks to BIS to BRICS. The Ukraine/US/Nato government control in Ukraine is falling apart.

Edited to add: Moscow stock unreachable, check for yourself

Not to mention the website that hold the account depository guarantees... this is looking like banks collapsing in Ruzzia so a "corralito" is on.


An agreement between the US and Ukraine was signed at G7, including the supply of squadrons of F16, supplies and further Patriot bateries. One squadron is 15 planes minimum, so this is as minimum 30 f16 plus supplies / ordinance.

On the economic front...

In other words, if you are Ruzzian, you would be buying usd in the black market. If you do deals not just with Ruzzia, but with someone subject to sanctions, you are under sanctions too.

If only there was an end to this madness, we need peace.

 I can fully agree with you that Ukraine needs better toilets - an many, many better other things. What would you choose to get there? (a) be under the Muscovian regime - which is not ever going to invest in Ukraine, but rather convert it in another territory to get mercenaries at a cheap or (b) Try  to be more like Poland - which joined the EU and got this:



I guess now you may understand what Ukraine is fighting for (hint: is not for toilets).

Moving on to news, the latest is about economic sanctions. These have now been increased in several ways:
- A shit-metric-ton of pressure on banks. Queues of people have been noted trying to get usd -  I do give relative value to this information, but the volatility of the Ruble vs usd is 10% in a day during the last week. This means uncertainty - some believe that sanctions are going to have a deep economic effect.

- The last G7 summit in Italy is a discussion on whether the interests of the Ruzzian frozen assets are going to fund Ukraine's war effort and pay the Ruzzian debt or if it is actually the Ruzzian frozen assets that will be partially confiscated. A figure of 50 Billion has been mentioned. To put it in perspective, this is one year of US aid on top of the existing aid.

These seems a bit more serious than what has been done to date, so I would say that the frog is getting further heated. I really hope that Putin has a very good measure of what is the breaking point - a rogue Ruzzia is not the best scenario for the world.

Edited to add: It seems Ruzzian banks are not offering exchange services in US and Euro and have stopped withdrawals. Moscow exchange down 15% in a day??


I see, this is the new theory then:

a) The western weapons do not exist.
b) The western weapons exist, but they are destroyed before reaching their positions.
c) The western weapons reach the positions, but "do not make a difference".
c) The wester weapons reach their positions, make a difference, but "do not work".
And the latest: (d) The western weapons work, but Ruzzia is so smart that they "only hit decoys". These decoys are so wonderful that they have radar emissions, leave tracks and have secondary explosions just as if they were real.

As an alternative hypothesis, the Ruzzia air defence is getting blasted systematically, possibly because Ukraine does not want to loose too many f16s.
