Yes, nothing new, Biden supports the effort in Ukraine and has good reasons to it. There is nothing indicating that democrats are reconsidering and we already knew Republicans are divided.

There are discussions going on. On the "separate matter", nothing is "separate" in politics.

The amphibious operations in the Kherson region are ongoing, there has been even a report of Ruzzian bombing near Oleshky, which is well inside the west bank of the river.

Three S-400 seem to have been destroyed by an ATACAMS, so yes, S-400 is very effective destroying ATACAMS once the missile reaches them. BTW this is a Ruzzian report it seems https://gagadget.com/en/342105-us-atacms-missiles-could-destroy-three-launchers-of-the-125-billion-s-400-air-defence-system/.

Judging from previous Ukrainian attacks this is not casual, there is an intent to clear the threats before the F-16 arrive or there is an intent to launch Stormshadows or more attacks in the area,...

The UN however has not pushed much outside, they recently published a report on the situation in the occupied territories. And people still speak of reaching a peace or getting Ukraine to accept an invasion. This is not an ONG report, these comes from UN Commissioners.

Yes, you have read correctly, a 75 year old woman raped. That's orc behaviour at its worst.



This is why Ukraine must stop Putin and the "Eastern culture" of the Ruzzian Army.

In theory it is about knowing the game and the horses, but for real is a super-difficult game to make profit from. It is difficult to get enough good results in a systematic manner not to mention to have any advantage over the punters that are really well into the business. Anyway, I think is more popular with old people, that can spend a whole evening drinking and watching it.

I do not yet get why people collect things in general, it is just something that does not really click on me - I mean, other than collecting money  But certainly I know people who will go through pains to find things like a carpenter's plane or certain physical items. What I mean is that if physical collections do not click with me, I won't even tell you about collecting digital items (other than art I guess).

You mean, the type of man that would rather not be in jail or may not fare well in jail? Look, I think that the type of man informants are in first place is the people who actually get into such a trouble that they have to become informants or else.

But I think that there is so much shit in tax evasion / avoidance that is really difficult for companies to stay out of it so they are always in the hands of some dude that needs a forced informant.

The OP would need to create a community and that works usually by either having a massive interest in the subject and creating a momentum in social interest or by spending money to grab traction, which is probably not that interesting if there is not a clear long term view to capture users and eventually have them paying for the information or monetising somehow else.

Here is yet another example of Trump turning on his own people, just after their "own people" turn on him. Curiously, while throwing courses about a judge in New York, he tell the press to look for references about Steve Bannon from the New York courts. It does not matter, no cognitive dissonance ever.


Yet another "friend" that finally gives away the mafia boss and lays plainly what many people suspected -  a permanent despise of the law and the belief by Trump that he did not really have to follow it - that's for the lower kind.


Well, have you got some direct knowledge of the education system in the US? It explains lots of things.

Unfortunately there is nothing like "unbiased" nowadays because most of the sites give you incentives to give good review. I recall cases of people complaining that even a hotel had charged them an extra fee because they left a bad review and the "price they got was conditioned to not giving bad reviews". It may be an extreme case, but there is certainly a sensitivity that was not there a few years back.

I can see the flag, it was there for a while, not that long while.  However what I do not see is any of your proud "stormZZZ" convicts posing near the flag. I wonder why? Maybe the situation is not as in control as it looks?

Oh, well, you need to buy a new flagpole.

I am not sure if Avdiivka will or will not be taken, but if the "morale blow" is like the one in Bakhmut, it seems that we are going to have another year of war. Or two... or three... and maybe the general responsible will have a "plane accident" after taking the place.

A few more of this "successes" and there will be no army left to celebrate the great "victory". There is a price to pay for advancing - which by the way has not been consolidated nor is something that could be called a "success" - when that price is as high as what is being grinded now in the east front, it is simply not worth it. It is a a good way of "self-demilitarisation".

In the end you may say that Ruzzi soldiers are expendable and do not matter, you just send in more. But that logic failed in WW I and is likely to fail against modern means of destruction which chop meat at speed - no matter if 10, 100 or 1000, it just grind whatever is thrown at it.

Buying cheap tickets that have remote possibilities of giving you a win, but are cheap even bought by the dozen is - statistically speaking - clearly and provably a losers game. However, there is nothing wrong in playing tickets from time to time because it is like a way of keeping hope for the future alive for many people who will never have any other way of making significant money.

In that we can agree: many of the individuals in the units are given orders that are simply obscene - there is no way to carry them out, it is simple suicide. It is normal in any army to follow orders - that's how armies work in general - the difference is what orders are being given, what are the chances of success and how risky the operation is. The incompetence of the leaders is shown in the type of orders given.

BTW it seems that from WW II tactics, now Ruzzia has passed to WW I meat attacks tactics and lately to Medieval siege techniques by digging tunnels under fortifications. What is next? Using swords?

Again, trying to represent "people" like if only "people" voted for Trump. It is not true, he is rich and has huge donations from rich people. There is nobody more detached from reality and the "people" he pretends to represent than him. He has lived since for ever in his bubble of privilege and cares nothing for "people". All he has ever tried is to hold on to the family fortune.

Yes, Branko really, a tweet does not change any of that.

Meanwhile we are discussing, a few of the mili-bloggers are claiming that Ruzzis have taken the pile of waste north of Adviika, then claiming that Ukraine took it back, then again... I am starting to think that they may not have taken it in the first place. However, what I have seen is pictures of the area - hint = they are not a nice view for the Ruzzian war enthusiats (if there is anyone left).



This is what the Ruzzies see when near the Terrycon. Anyone fancy going with them on a "storming operation"??

Again, Ukraine is not fighting alone, the mobilisation of Ukraine human resources is far for exhausted, Ukrainians are resisting Putler's Moscowian regime because they know there is no peace unless he is stopped drastically. There is not an option for "no fighting" if you want a country that you can call your own and in which you are actually a full rights citizen.

Since the beginning of Ruzzia's war of invasion Ukraine has been getting stronger an stronger. They have tank brigades that did not exist, fully modernised artillery units to the point that has exceeded Ruzzia's fire effectiveness, long range striking capability with Scalps/stormshadows, long range G2G capability with ATACAMS.

And this is only going to get worse for the Ruzzi (mostly from the territories, not really Ruzzis): along the next months Ukraine will get a decent airforce (F-16 and possibly  Gripen) and the suit of bad beast weapon that can be launch from these (e.g. meteor, HARM, amrams...).

I have to congratulate Putin for achieving this - from a barely armed state that posed no threat, to a porcupine with all the latest shit to throw to your human-wave attacks.

Now Branko, try again, but this time say something credible.

Speaking of credible, it seems that Kazaks being forcibly enlisted upon threat of deportation. Why Branko? do you think they do not share your uninformed optimism?


Just read the links and care to read the news from more than one source. do you really think that US support for Israel is going to be stopped by a technicality? Well, if that goes ahead, Ukraine help , debt ceiling, border security and many others go in the package.

Fully incorrect. There is a temporary speaker https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-67161430, the legislative process is not interrupted in any way and the funny thing is that since this guy is temporary, they cannot remove him as easily as an elected one.


Now, try again, but this time read some credible sources first.

BTW, yesterday was the day of the war in which more Ruzzi-tanks were destroyed. There are so many pictures, video and geolocated evidence that mappers are still trying to process, but there seems to be more than 50 tanks lost in a day with no tactical gain to mention. This is along the 40 lost not two days ago and the now thousands of Ruzzis recycled into landfill along with them.

It seems that Ukraine has now taking the advantage in artillery, not just in precision, but now in shelling per day. The self-demilitarisation of Ruzzia is going well.

Factually wrong information. Firstly, the US has a permanent stock of military supplies in Israel. The reason is that if a war with Iran, Siria, Egypt or others breaks out, it is difficult to send immediate support from across two seas to Israel. US simply has opened the gates and pass the bill.

Secondly, not only the aid is not diverted to Israel, the fact is that now many republicans are keen on sending aid to Israel, to which Biden has made an intelligent play: All needs to be passed in one law: aid to Ukraine, aid to Israel and debt ceiling. Reps want something, they are going to have to give something. We are talking of a huge 100 Billion package.

See BA? This is what happens when you publish shit from propaganda sites - real life simply kicks you in the balls.

Yep. It is not about his politics -  they are not that different from most right-right Republicans and his views are not that special. It is about how he does politics and how he acts like a consented brat name calling the opponents, threatening, etc... You know, who the f*ck threatens the clerk of the courtroom?? or some random person that happened to be counting votes one day??

That is not a proper conduct for a president and is not politics, is not ideas, it is simply misbehaviour.

I do not think is a strategy that Ruzzian Army can adapt to. These choppers were as close to the frontline as possible because they need to act with speed and they need to have as much fuel as possible to hoover and move in the frontline. Now they will need to move very far away, so their capability is diminished no matter what "adaptation" they try. Similar, to a lesser extent, with planes.

To note, US did not officially confirmed the delivery, meaning that Ruzzia does not know either if the next week would be the 320 km range ones. Another strategic problem they cannot adapt to.

About what is fair... well, is a war between Ruzzia and Ukraine, so anything military in Ruzzia and the occupied territories is ok and ready to be blown, why not.

If you ask me, it is quite the opposite. If you take gambling as a way of making money and you clearly understand that this may only be done in certain games such as poker and never ever by trying to be "smarter" than the house, you can be perfectly responsible about the matter. It is more difficult precisely for people who actually play for ego and is all about how "they feel about it" which is about themselves really.
