Where's that Ukrainian 'greatest counter-offensive' we've been hearing about? Last week it was bad weather. This week it's something about new gear and saving Bakhmut or some such. 'Excuses are like assholes', so they say.
...
Yes, no Ukrainian offensive is planned, do not worry. Just keep on throwing the official "truth" here and keep on attacking Bakhmut - it is very important for the RF to conquer another flattened town that is in the middle of nowhere and in artillery range from the other side of the river. You do not have to worry about the nearly state of the art nearly 100 main battle tanks coming from US and Europe and those few hundred IMFV. That is just for defence, so no offensive planned in the next few weeks. Sleep well, read the Pravda, listen to Radio Moscow and keep drinking Stolichnaya. Propaganda: thousand Russians die in mindless human wave attacks Reality: https://t.me/intelslava/45135https://t.me/vicktop55/13731 |

Ask Putin this question.
Earth to Russia: empires are out, and nation-states are in. Pay attention.
meh To have functional empire, you need at least 500 military bases around the globe |

Very honorable of them, martyring themselves for the US and Nato. The world will remember them... for a few short years. When you're dead, Russian soldiers can't kill you, and US/Nato countries can't let you die. But why let your kids die for nothing. Oh, yes. Honor. Imaginary honor?  They eagerly awaited Russia to attack them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DwcwGSFPqIo |

Any predictions for where we will be March 2024?
Celebrating with your friends?  You seem just as confident now as you were almost exactly 1 year ago when you were defending the fact that the special military operation was still going on weeks later not because Russia was facing any setbacks, they just wanted to minimize civilian casualties is all...and don't worry, there will be a Parade in Kiev come May...
When it comes to the future, you always have to deal with probabilities, because, unlike the present, the future is not yet a fait accompli. The probabilistic nature of the future does not allow making predictions with 100% accuracy. When making my prediction regarding the victory parade in Kyiv, I proceeded from the assumption that Ukraine will soberly assess its capabilities in confrontation with Russia and will act in accordance with prudence and its own benefit. However, I was wrong in this assumption - Ukraine chose to get involved in a suicidal adventure, completely neglecting the instinct of self-preservation and acting to its own detriment. In all respects, it would have been wiser and more profitable for Ukraine to unconditionally capitulate a year ago. Why would they capitulate? Everything points toward conclusion that they were preparing 8 years for this war, and never had intention to accept Minsk 2 |

I do not think there is an advantage to the attacker, irrespectively of the means of each. For what I am getting in interviews the RF does advance, but the cost in lives is very high. Basically they are sending "human decoys" to "detect" Ukrainian positions. Ukraine would have left the place if they felt it was not the right place.
I am going to leave to you to think why have they decided that it is the right place. Why are they there, why are they holding the place and what they may be waiting for. You do not need to be a genius to answer that.
As side note, the range of HIMARS means they do not have to be "there".
Meanwhile, the RF air force has decided that it is ok to down US drones in international waters. I wonder what may happen next.
Himars? What Himars? When was the last time you heard about one? And those "interviews", you really learned nothing from ghost of Kiev, babushkas destroying Russian drones with cucumber jars, and ukrainian grandpas shooting Migs with shotguns? |

I think Russia has no reason to take Bakhmut...why chase enemy when other side is readily bringing new soldiers for
easy kill
Have you taken a look at the map? What can you see in the vicinity of Bakhmut? Elevated positions with cover of rocks, trees, hills, river banks? Do you see anything in there that looks like a good attacking position? No, you do not, it is exactly the opposite - You will see a nightmare for the attacker, were they are detected klicks away from the defending positions. Would you like to be the attacker there Branko? Can't people just google before saying something silly? The only reason to attack it is because it is the Donbas and the RF needs to take the Donbas to be able to sell some short of "victory" to the world. Wagnerites are expendable, people from Dagestan and other satellites of Moscow are spendable. As I write this post, I am looking at the videos of Ukrainians training in Leopards. They seem veeeery pleased. Just stay away and fire few salvos from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TOS-1Then wait for Ukrainians to replace soldiers you just killed Repeat Wait for the TOS to fire, send counterbattery fire, wait for the next TOS. Repeat. Artillery range wise, there is nothing to be done. Does not matter if you use napalm or frag, RF does not have the range advantage, nor air advantage, nor terrain advantage. Intelligence wise and location, Ukraine is getting plenty of "Gospel from the Sky" and has quite an active partisanship work behind enemy lines. This battle place has been chosen by Ukraine and Wagnerites are trying to prove a point... at any cost. What counterbattery? Ukrainians have no artillery worth mentioning there |

This whole thing is getting more absurd (and obvious) by the day.
Over and over everyone keeps talking about Russia doing their 'greatest offensive.' Everyone except Russia that is.
Russia said they were going to de-militarize Ukraine. There is no better and less costly (in human life) way than to have a grinding war of attrition which lasts for years, provided the fighting is done at a time and place of one's choosing.
[...]
Take Bahkmud; Kiev evacuated their chosen (the Nationalist swastika-bearing units) out a while ago and stuffed in all of the child soldiers, old men, etc that their commissars kidnapped from around the country that they could. Exactly like stuffing handfuls of meat into a grinder. Then they let the Russians close the flanks until there was only one muddy road in which is under fire control of the Russians from ranges where the Russian artillery is untouchable. To top it off, they blew up the bridge needed for those who make it through the turkey-shoot.
(*) These 'mistakes' are not novice mistakes on the part of military buffoons. These are well executed plans to 'lose' by people who knew what they were doing. I'm ever more convinced of it. It makes perfect sense if you re-evaluate what 'losing' and 'winning' means to various people.
BTW, a very similar thing is happening in the U.S. with respect to the 'mistakes' made by their decision-makers related to NATO and this operation. America is slotted for demolition also, and by the same basic groups of people.
As usual, raw and senseless propaganda without any source nor any need to justify anything that is said here. This is just food for people who already have their stomach full of the official mantras or want to believe that the RF army is under any kind of control of what is happening in Ukraine. An interpretation that matches reality: Ukraine does not leave Bahkmud because, despite being under a strong offensive, they can make the untrained, enslaved and sometimes criminal wagnerites pay 100 men for each square meter of land. Even a troll like you must be aware that there are public discussions between Pringozin (Wagner's owner) and Shoigu, including accussations of lavish vacation for the children while their negligence sends RF soldiers by the hundreds to serve a soil fertiliser. Contrary to him, you presented ample amount of data to strengthen your words...videos, links, pictures... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VAogk_0XbCY |

Putin speech today was boring and waste of time, he again repeats old stuff.
You are right, and yet you watched it. But Zelensky's speeches are not particularly popular in Russia, I think no one watches them at all. And Biden's recent speech from Kyiv did not arouse any interest, except perhaps for the fact that the United States asked Russia for guarantees of his safety a few hours before the unannounced visit. Now Russia is the actual guarantor of security in Europe, remember this. And even in Poland, Biden spoke from behind a bulletproof barrier because he is afraid and knows there is a new sheriff in the city.  Its funny how the president of the USA had to travel by train, as if he's afraid of all those Ukrainians he armed to the teeth with all kind of AA defense, but not too picky about choosing targets, even if its their own ministers |

Original nazi unit
Idiot, in your nazi ruᛋᛋia such a unit appeared back in 1998. And in 2011, this division was named "Edelweiss" https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oтpяд_cпeциaльнoгo_нaзнaчeния_«Aвaнгapд» And then, when they found out that Zelensky had named one of the Ukrainian troops "Edelweiss," the ruᛋᛋian nazis shit themselves and quickly renamed their squad. Although they did not provide any evidence about the renaming of the squad Before you bark something here, first dig into the history of nazi ruᛋᛋia, my advice  Your links is broken Maybe learn to post proper links before calling other people idiots? |

Note that Russian troops are essentially fighting Nato troops, with a few US troops thrown in.
Actually Russian troops are fighting Ukrainian troops. Russia invaded Ukraine. No other country has deployed troops to fight in Ukraine, they're just sending weapons. Remember, Russia invaded Ukraine. Actually, Ukrainian troops are long gone. The few who look like Ukrainian troops, and are really from Ukraine, are really boys, often under the age of 16. Just like the US has done in loads of places around the world. Not an invasion. Simply a police action. It's the US interference that is making this into a drawn-out police action. And as long as they can print USD as much as they want, they can continue to use proxies to do dirty stuff for them. Thats why we need BTC to replace USD and why we came to this forum...well, at least some of us |

How is your citizenship application BA? I heard about those jobs you are talking about, they seem that even common criminals from any prison are accepted. The economy must be going great. I wonder where are all those bloggers and tiktokers that are in military age and promote the war from the media... "fighting hard with they keyboards" just like you? All those who are absolutely fine with others dying while they pretend to know anything about war.
Lol, and you're not even aware how hypocritical you are...you and your ilk seem perfectly fine with Ukrainians been forced to die for you and your military industrial complex
They are helping Ukraine because it is morally the right thing to do.
When Putin released murderers and rapists to act on their urges in Ukraine, the civilized world has an obligation to help to stop the
the killing of innocent people.
Another more practical reason is they want to weaken Russia, maybe even break up the RF, and complete the break up of the Soviet Union.
The deactivation of Russia's nuclear arsenal would make the world a much safer place. I think this is the ultimate goal.
You know, trade nukes for bread type of deal.
Where were you when USA and Blackwater did the same (and worse) in Iraq? And why not dismantle nukes in a country that actually used them (on civilians) |

Yet the RF GDP drops and dropsssss....... It seems to me that Putin would be a CIA operative and a brilliant one.
There is no accurate way to measure Russian GDP. You can't use standard banking measurements, because Russia is exporting and and growing in other ways. Standard measurements don't work because of the sanctions. For example, if there is a 100 acre farm in the US, and the farm doesn't produce much if any product to sell to the American market, does that mean the farm dies? Not necessarily. After all, 100 acres is large enough to feed the family of 6 that owns it, plus a whole bunch of families in the area. Yet, none of that will be counted as part of the GDP for that farm, because they are not in the system of counting that way. Russia is similar. They are simply not operating GDP-wise in the way that the West counts GDP. This might mean that they are even more successful in ways that the West doesn't measure. And actually, that seems to be the way it is. Your usual confusion about economy and general lack of knowledge at full-throttle again. There is no way of accurately measuring any GDP, all of them are through indirect measures. Funds, credit and investment agencies routinely estimate growth and economy in many countries through indirect measures such as movement in seaports, exports, imports, traffic, power consumption... there is little doubt about what is happening to the RF economy. GDP is GDP, it is not about how "the west" counts it nor is about "growing in a different way". You are so used to using sources that distort reality and make things "an opinion" when there are hard facts that you think you can talk your way out of an economic crisis - bad news is you can't, the economy does not care about excuses. Yet, UK economy is tanking, unlike Russian one https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-02-04/boe-signals-worst-years-for-uk-growth-since-great-depressionhttps://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/imf-recession-germany-uk-gdp-2023-b2272655.html |
