Russia-Ukraine War - News and Developments PART 2

wasn't there interesting photos and videos from USA from last cold wave , just less than a month ago ?
did anybody cared to say such thing about Biden ?


real patethic move by some western countries
Not pathetic that russia leans on a 4th world N. Korea, but somehow pathetic that Venezuela is bad. At least be consistent in your philosophy and moral high-ground

The Bakhmut and Soledar meat grinder do tell a different story. The Ukrainians have taken a heavy beating there, and the Russians have really pooled their resources there, got enough Ukrainians who desperately tried to hold it, and slowly applied an overwhelming artillery-led bombardments on the defending Ukrainians.

The idiotic Western leaders and their propagandists never understood the true aims of the Russian military leaders in Bakhmut. They thought Ukrainians holding it were heroic. But the truth is Russians were slowing eliminating the most experiences Ukrainian forces in the Bakhmud - Soledar meat grinder.

You can continue believing your fairy tales though.
You should reveal teh whole truth please. We 100% believe your facts based on a twitter post and the fact you have written these lines. Russians are prevailing everywhere. They have taken over Kiev and have an installed Govt. Everybody here is a victim of western medium propaganda thinking the war is going on and Russians are fighting it out day in day out or the US is supplying more weapons.

No doubt Afghanistan has been successfully been under Kremlin's influence and rule since the short invasion by our comrades in 1979, so why would Putin have any trouble in Ukraine since its next door. Please share more facts from Twitter on how this reality is evolving since you are right at the center of action

this is sick and this is just sad they are still someones son

Russia is just throwing men into the death

over the years how many men has Russia lost ?

in WWII how many Russians died ? it takes 18 years to make a man

how many more will die, throwing men at at war like they are chickens

well I think if they were chickens they would have better chance

its just like slaughtering a lamb

No I mean the European tank armies operate 2,000 leopards 2 tanks, they can give let’s say 500 to Ukraine. Poland is willing to give ALL leopards to Ukraine. 240 pieces. The Poles can’t sleep at night because they fear Russian invasion. How many leopards Germany has in storage I don’t know.

All we need is Germany greenlights ok then tanks can roll. The Wagner hooligans will run away faster than the fastest animal in jungle.

thanks for the clarification - i understand now. It does seem that Olaf Scholz is the issue right now for sure ( it does not bode well for germany to sell tanks to other europe countries in the future for new models if germany does not approve the A2's to ukraine when all of the other A2 operators want to send tanks ).

there is a significant political and security disconnect there - one you wont get if you buy american...

How do you know Biden does not do anything? Biden is a democrat. he is like other democrats in the west. those are more socialist than other socialists in socialist countries. Biden prints money and rains it on families and other groups than ever. He acts no different than other western governments led by democrats.

As for war crimes, there is no excuse to invade a sovereign nation. You can’t use war crimes of others to justify own war crimes.
i don't justify anything , i say you can't call Putin a war-criminal for spending money on bullets and rockets instead of shelter for poor and not call Biden the same thing .
and no he didn't do anything . if you say he did something please tell us what he did ?

Did you even read the last line of my post??
the problem is GEPARD and NASAM proven ineffective , NATO need to send more potent air defense and they refrained to do so till today only old systems

All new build Russian tanks are T-90M with a production rate of 100 a month. Many 80s T-72 were upgraded to B3 standard. While 80s Bradley is good in the 80s. It is extremely vulnerable to modern drone based warfare where drones are used at the squad level for recon.



more like 10-15 per month

Yes it’s up to Germany to decide, actually it’s up to Olaf Scholz to decide, nobody else.

If he thumps Up, lots of 2,000 leopards 2 tanks can go to Ukraine immediately. Also, there are some leopards at Rheinmetall. If ok Rheinmetall can start mass production instantly. Russia tanks have zero chance against the 62 tons monster especially the new variant.
does Ukraine have 8000 personnel trained in using of Leopard 2 , ready to man those tanks ? or they will come with crew ?

Russia didn't do a 180 degree turn back when they bought from N. Korea .
a certain country did a U-Turn on its stand against Venezuela

What fairy tales do i believe?

That Kiev would not fall?
That ukranians were pushing back russia and would eventually retake Cherson?


If were talking fairy tales its purely you “mr pockets”.

We have been hearing this rhetoric around slow almost nonexistent russian advances for months.
“Grinding, ukraine army will surely collapse after this town…oh wait the next town…oh wait the next town…oh wait…”

In the meantime the war drags on. And Russia loses more and more material and men while Nato is sending handmedowns and STILL on single digit defense budget aid.

I only stated Russians are prevailing in the Bakhmut -Soledar meat grinder. I showed different sources confirming that fact.

The mujahideen in Khorasan defeated the NATO Freemasonry alliance. It was 21 years struggle but they eventually kicked the Freemasonry alliance out of Khorasan.

Now, at the end of Russia - Ukraine conflict, don't be surprised if you see those Mujahideen in Bait Al-Muqdis or Quddus. There is an Islamic prophesy confirming it.

Budgets in the US are decided by Congress and not the President.
Sheltering the poor is unlikely to be a federal thing. It is the responsibility of each state. Putin has much more control, being a dictatorship.

Russians are gonna come back to Kherson and the South once they fully liberate Donbass region. That is what you need to understand "khaniis" boy.

Bakhmut - Soledar front speak for themselves.

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russia became a dictatorship again. What should've been done differently so that Russia could've become a democracy like the United States?
“After the collapse of the Soviet Union, what should've been done differently so that Russia could've become a democracy?”
Nothing.
Three reasons, mainly.
1. No land for democracy
Unlike some other territories in the former Soviet block, like the Baltics and Poland, we in Russia never had a previous experience of popular rule. We simply have no reference frame. In our neck of the woods, it’s the opposite. Everything we associate with national triumphs, like winning a world war, space exploration, or conquest of Crimea, was delivered by brutal dictatorships.
As they say, Russian soil hates invaders’ boots, asphalted roads, and free elections.
2. No benign occupier
You may point to countries such as Japan and South Korea. From brutal autocracies, during the cold war they suddenly metamorphosed into a showcase for liberal democracy.
The difference between them and us was the Americans who took the reins. It was a benign foreign force that not only wrote a rule book for them but had the muscle and determination to enforce it.
This wasn’t easy. The Americans tried to replicate the success in Afghanistan and Iraq. They threw much more money there on the task than in East Asia after the war, to ridiculously little effect. Turns out, soil rejects free elections not only in Russia.
3. No middle class
The default state of matter in the world is not light and warmth but rather cold darkness. Similarly, non-democracy is the default state of human societies. Liberal democracy is rare. It’s hard, 24/7/365 work. And someone needs to do that work.
The middle class are the only people that are able to do that. Not sure they always will. Our middle class is overwhelmingly those who are employed by the State or live off government contracts. And for them, Yeltsin’s and Putin’s authoritarianism offer more benefits than disadvantages. This situation looks to be lasting for another generation or two.

Below, art by Alexéy Yegórov that nicely illustrates how power works through the lens of a regular Russian commoner.
The small creature at the bottom is a regular Russian. The fat creature above him is his boss. The boss holds for him a lifeline that connects them both to the celestial body of all-encompassing State power. Any attempt at horizontal self-organization against the will of the boss or the State threatens to sever this lifeline. Then, the poor little creature will stand exposed, defenseless, alone against the elements and the vultures circling right above.
This is why everyone in our neck of the woods—from a single mother in deep provinces to a minister in Putin’s government—confronted with the question, “Why don’t you try and change that rotten system?” would always answer: “Get real, dude. There’s nothing in the world I can do about it anyway!”

No other Nato ally has supplied Ukraine with modern Main Battle Tanks because the most suitable tanks that can be sourced are German tanks. British Challenger 2’s had a limited production run and as such are in low supply. American Abrams tanks are made for Us supply lines and require huge massive amounts of jet fuel and a hoard of jet mechanics. German leopards 2’s are readily available in quantities, run on Diesel and can be replaced within a reasonable timeline. I guess we could look to the french , but ….I mean. They’re like cats. They do what they want, when they want. Maybe they’ll help, maybe they’ll just sit down and lick their @%%. Who knows? German leopards 2’s are really the only sane option.

The warzone has done a number of interesting articles on the new IFVs and Sparrow missiles going to Ukraine. Worth a read for sure.



What the new IFV come into play is not just mere firepower. But it also mean a deviation of the way Ukraine conduct warfare. Because these IFV are designed for deep penetration (like 73 Easting type attack) and act as scout but at the same time have enough firepower and armour to survive a frontal strike. In the west we call those ops "Recon in Force" which is a part of shock and awe technique.

Basically we ram these vehicle into the frontline and quickly exploit the gap between the frontline. Which mean Russia now need to prepare this kind of new war, if I have to guess, this move is to put more stress on the Russian side.
