  1. Remember: Hundredthousands, way over a million, fled to Russia since 2014 from the Nazi terror and Russia cared for them, while being sanctioned, while being blamed.

  2. Not sure what's suppossed to be embarrasing about an accident, especially when in action. There is not much talk about it, but armies lose stuff to accidents all the time, as does everything else. Was more emberassing, when the US Navy lost a much bigger ship right in its homeport also to fire.

  3.  @jamesmorrow1646  Mh17 was 99,9% likely shot down by Ukraine and we deny that for the same reason we deny the Nazis. Also it was the coup regime that kept shelling the crash site.

  4. Sorry, look at Falkland war and how many ships UK lost there. Ships are lost all the time even outside war, look up ship accidents, espcially in military. It's no blow to anything, even less because it was an old ship that is about to be replaced anyway.

  5. But it's no western freedom booth!
    75
  6. What people forget regarding western weapons is, that the only NATO country with vast amount of these is the USA, which has to entertain it's over 700 bases world wide. This alone is massily stretching their weapons supplies and of course they can't just go all out for something like Ukraine - what not only will bring us to WW3 levels but also drag in other nations like China for certain. So the question is not, how many weapons the west got in total, but what fraction of that they are able to waste.
    66
  7.  @realJimmy_Balls  Same today, Ukrainians fight with Russians against Nazis. The Ukrop Nazis even love to use the same flag as they did then.
    64
  8. Russia knows to differ between our crazy politicians and the people.
    58
  9. Clearly very solid build bridge, when such a massive explosion wasn't even able to take down the other road. Good luck bringing that bridge down with rockets... Even the damaged part is also the links, not the actual pillars = easy to repair.
    55
  10. Truce only works when both side accept it. Since the Nazi regime instanly said no, there simlpy was none. At best Russia decreased some of the far range attacks, but of course it can't just stop the actions at the frontline, when the other side fights on. Not reason to even try, even more because it would be a high risk to get attacked if you do that one sided.

  11.  @kevinmulligan9055  They had a single and only partial mobilisation what is only focussed at a fraction of their reservists. Ukraine is going through the 10th conscription round soon and alerady sends invitations to women, because they run out of men willing to die for their shit show.
    35
  12.  @homeguardster  Fanatism, especially blind fanatism, does not help you, it destroys you.
    33
  13.  @redscope897  You don't get how modern warfare looks like. What you see on a map is no defense line or a wall or alike, it's the line behind which the firepower targeted at you brutally increases. They simply ran into a kill zone. That's around as hard as jumping from a cliff. It's not hard to jump. It's hard to survive it.
    30
  14. Well, reality and slowly drying by illness, hunger, thirst in your own stench isn't that heroic anymore as the fantasy - which likely also included an especially heroic victory.
    28
  15. Don't even know how you want to fight an enemy in a harbour city that can just be there with their battleship while you got nothing to even reach them... But I heared those Nazis called out for Ukraine to come to them, said they have stalled 14k Russian soldiers with their number of 3k (of course hiding behind civilians, that's why they don't let them leave).
    26
  16. But they get a lot of very expensive weapons! It costs so much money to bomb them. ~cynical~
    25
  17.  @homeguardster  Ukraine is down on the ground since monthes and only hold up by NATO who for some resason wants to see it utterly destroyed. But it even just bleeds out NATO. It can't hold this up for years, no matter how much money they print.
    24
  18.  @tommatokovic1018  The only thing not right is the idea people have by looking at a map with some lines and following 'news' about 'break throughs'. There is nothing to break through. These lines are no walls or fortified defenses or whatever. They are simply a line behind which the firepower targeted at you increases. Russia's army is not standing and such lines not even close. And that's why you can indeed drive in many kilometers behind such lines. There isn't anything that will just stop you - beside reason. Because it's absolutely not reasonable to do that, since the actual fact with the increased firepower still stands. That's why you get: a) BIG ADVANCES of the Ukro army. Because storming in like that is easy. b) BIG LOSSES of the Ukro army. Because storming in like that is stupid and suicidal.
    24
  19.  @AgentDoubleOSeven77  You mean where Russia showed that it know what tactic and strategy means and that they care for their soldiers and don't waste them over nothing, what explains why they got few losses and that of the Nazis are deasasterous, not because it's super soldier vs subhuman, but coup regime giving a fuck how many people they lose, while Russia doesn't waste their army for that.
    23
  20. You can tell a lot by the damage. Overall those damaged houses mainly look like smaller explosives - not a 500kg warhead. There are pictures and videos about what a FAB500 does, including creating a massive create in solid ground. It's easy to add 1 and 1 together how an appartment building would look like that would be hit by such a warhead. Since the Banderas Regime loves to hide behind civilians and civil structures, the chance that any of their anti air rockets which fail to hit their target by whatever meas, hitting one of those buildings around, isn't slim. Not talking about, that by all means it's not even unlikely that they do this on purpose, after all: it's what they sell for more billions of money (and they don't care for the damage done by that or the mountains of debt this creates THEY won't be the ones to pay back).
    22
  21.  @FizzFizzFizzFizzFizz  Better inform yourself about these countries and the context, you clearly got no clue about it.
    21
  22. More like "We could need another layer of cannonfodder right at the front."
    19
  23.  @carls2170  No, the opposite. Ukraine just rushed in without thinking.
    19
  24.  @СтаниславГрознов  If it would have been a fuck up, you would have massive loses on Russian side and near to none on the Ukrainian. Not the complete opposite. Area gains don't matter. If it would be about area gains, Russia would fight very, very differently.
    19
  25. Stuff breaks all the time. what is emberassing about it? Hell, this dumb "flagship" nonsense makes no sense. People are so used to it being something special from movies. "This is the flagship of the blablabla, the most amazing ship of all". The ship was old, very, very old. And it was about to be replaced for that reason, becaue age means, that stuff breaks even easier and regarding technology is simply not that modern and fitting anymore. Military loses stuff all the time - normally it's just not in the MSM, that's all. USA even lost several nuclear weapons, ships, submarines and so on. A three times as big and half as old ship of the US navy just burned out two years ago right inside its own homeport. No one wrote about how "emberassing" this is - while it's clearly way more emberassing. If that really was a missile strike, it was likely with a hell lot of NATO support - what would be the main reason it's ignored by Russia in media. And it was a stupid strike, because the smaller ship are way more modern and way more dangerous than the Moskva, that did not really do much.
    19
  26. Jamming would be about signals coming from the outside. Just because the drone got some internal parameters running doesn't mean, that you can jam those. Overall, taking a normal computer, the only way to 100% secure a computer from being hacked is to simply allow no input at all - what is also likely the way to go with cheap drones. Since they are used against non moving targets, there are other ways to ensure, that they follow the pass without th need of any input from the outside, that could be changed, interrupted or even abused to take over.
    17
  27.  @FizzFizzFizzFizzFizz  Not even closely compareable.
    17
  28. Banderas Nazis mined the whole region there for years, never saw the Russian cry about that.
    17
  29.  @arthurtane6505  'Your' Nazi army lost thousands of soldiers in few days and billions in equipment. Even if they would have taken anything worthwhile, this would be a disters - and they didn't even do that. For losing so much, you would have at least some victory on the level of taking Mariupol for example to halfway get in the direction of maybe being acceptable (and even that...).
    17
  30.  @martinbartosik2440  You mean as long as you think like in a videogame, where your units just respawn or you endlessly buy new ones, hm? Reality does not work like that. At all.
    15
  31. What's the surprise? They lie as always and in the most absurd way.
    15
  32.  @youareliedtobythemedia  Well, there is this oddity, that Poland gave Ukrainians pretty much polish citizens rights and now Ukraine the other way around. This aside: would for sure not be a good deal for Poland, though it would likely, as usual, ignore the people anyway and the ones who sign such a merge would just lead a well paid life elsewhere, anyway - also as usual.
    15
  33. Nothing. Winning a war is not about areas, but the destruction of the enemies army at best with minimal own losses. Brutally wasting your army (or in case of Ukraine armies, since that's pretty much at least their third one meanwhile) is certain and brutal loss, no matter if you manage to take some area here and there.
    15
  34. The way Ukro/NATO fascists throw away the lives of those 700.000, they aren't even able to beat those 200k by the number game.
    14
  35. Railway is already working again (there is even a video).
    13
  36.  @honzo1078  Just absolute stupid to fight a battle you can't win when it is against an enemy, who mainly wants you to stop fighting.
    13
  37.  @redscope897  Warfare is not about territory. It's about destroying the enemy's army.
    12
  38. Must say it's a bit fascinating how much focus there is on that not even that big attack. While evere death is tragic, we talk about a war with 100.000s of soldiers and such death tolls especially on coup regime side every single day and much higher. With 100.000s of soldiers on the ground, there is simplay no way, that the enemy won't get lucky here or there. It's actually more a surprise when you see the massive NATO support the Nazi got, that this happens so rarely.
    12
  39. Oh, you can add much more to that. Most peopel for exampel don't know, what a brutal genocide the USA comitted in Korea, where the burned 18 cities completely to the ground (eye witnesses say, the destruction in germany 1945 was nothing in comarison) with hundredthousands of bombs and over 30.000t of Napalm.
    12
  40. They often enough CREATE them.
    11
  41. The attack was simply done by NATO - who exactly has presssed the button doesn't really matter. Unlikely that any of the NATO states would do something like that without OK from the US, not even UK and even less Poland or Ukraine, who would have too much to lose if they go against the will of their emperor.
    11
  42. On the pictures you got close to no equipment. People are used to videogames and movies, where something like that would be a vast amount of ammunition In reality this is close to nothing and Ukraine loses several times that much every single day.
    10
  43.  @coshyno  It's a quote from "Hamlet". It's about that the scenario of the play is driven by political corruption.
    10
  44. That dreaming of an Endsieg even with Tanks right in front of the core of your empire/nation is somehow something very typical for Nazis, don't know why. Must be the whole "superior" thing, there is simply no place in their minds for being the loser, no matter what.
    10
  45.  @vladtheimpala1  You do get, that there is near to no military forces in the majority of Ukraine left, right? Russia is simply not going to conquere Ukraine, they don't want it. They didn't even want to get Donbass. If Putin had been all about conquering Ukraine, 2014 had looked very different.
    10
  46.  @galimbertino4939  See: when you just can stom in like that, only an absolute braindead idiot would not think about a trap. And don't take the word 'trap' so lightly. To let your enemy come and put himsel in a brutal disadvantage he can't escape is just as much a trap as an ambush.
    10
  47. It's a very direct and easy choice - in contrary to our "elections" where most people just vote for some person or party who do what they want anyway and in most cases the absolute opposite of what they were voted for... Best example right in Ukraine itself: Zelensky was elected to END the war. Instead the made it 10 times worse and no burns down whole Ukraine for it (well, the part he can burn down).
    9
  48.  @charlesmartel6103  NEver happened, was failing air defense, because the Nazsi put them inside the cities.
    9
  49. What is not even new, OSCE has a history of that, sadly.
    9
  50.  @alanmcbride6658  Biggest prob was the airforce, something Ukraine is pretty much missing completely. NATO starts every war with a brutal bombing campaign.
    8
  51.  @redscope897  See: against a working army you can't just drive by with your tanks and shoot other tanks. Does not work that way. Only works with brutal bombing campaigns with the gruond troops just picking up the rests.
    8
  52.  @kapalik68  Not really how it works, but of course the US oligarchs made their bucks with it - it's always the peopel who pay the price.
    8
  53. It's not that 'Ukraine' got any say in it. It's victim of fascists. Fascists inside who serve fascists outside and both just want to sacrifice Ukraine for their own gain.
    8
  54. Those negativ 80 became anti matter missiles, what explains the destruction. :o
    8
  55.  @charlesmartel6103  Even EU had to admit that Georagie started the war. The president who did that is by the way best buddy with Zelensky with an astonishing career in Ukraine, until he was so stupid to go back to Georgia where they imprisoned him for his crimes against the country and its people.
    8
  56. People for some reason love that "momentum" word. No, you don't need to have or use momentum. if you plan is to surprise your enemy and use that to your advantage, you should of course use this to the fullest, but even then you still have to look out to not push too far and run right into a trap. Russia's strategy the last monthes is completely different, though and is all about wearing down the enemy without putting the lives of their own soldiers at unncessesary risk. You don't need momentum at all for that.
    8
  57. They most likely mobilize to secure and build up the new areas.
    7
  58. All that talk about Rabotino (a <500 people village), that isn't even behind the first defenseline.
    7
  59.  @richardlafave2556  Child, they said 44 HIMARS ROCKETS were shot down. You propaganda bots are so badly trained.
    7
  60.  @PassivePortfolios  How does all the Russian equipment that Ukraine's army abandonded help Ukraine?
    7
  61. Child just because you see some destroyed vehicles does not mean that everyone died there. Overall pictures say, there were tank and those are not detroyed. It's overall not even clue WHO was destroyed there.
    7
  62. It's note even a 'clever' trap. Overall the fact alone, that these lines weren't defended well shows, that it's unimportant for Russia to hold that area. It was more just a simpe bait and they still fell for it. Overall it's likely that NATO simply gives a fuck about Ukrainian lives (and it seems more like they hope for getting rid of as many as possible, the less people Ukraine got, the easier it will be to suck it dry...) and the coup regime just blindly follows the orders of its master, while the military leaders of the Ukrainian army are silenced and have to follow order or be cut.
    7
  63. Sabotage indeed does not help much if you don't have not much more behind it. Overall: every nation got all kind of accidents, organized crime, corruption and whatever by the thousands every day, creating all kind of damage, but that doesn't make the nation fall apart. What was destroyed in Crimea today, Ukraine is losing every day and much more and it still takes months until they break down.
    6
  64. Overall Kiev coup regime talke about all his points for a long while and nothing really stood against it, including NATO involvement and the utter denial of NATO to want to talk about all these things. People COULD say: yeah, taht was just all talk. But that's like someone making jokes about killing someone all the time over and over and over again plus getting weapons and all - and when this target persons snaps saying "Hey, was all jokes!" And that on a national scale PLUS all the brutality already taking place including thousands dead and over 2 millions fleeing from such violence. Just absurd, trying to defend this.
    6
  65. But he does not care for lives, obviously.
    6
  66.  @arnoldsaunders7885  War only destroys real worth and burns a lot of values for that. War is the climax of stupidity and insanity.
    6
  67. It's more likkely that the 60 are true, because Ukrop Nazis are known for taking everything pretty much x10.
    6
  68.  @Seerwealth  Of course it was a trap. And Ukraine created it pretty much itself. You don't run right into like that. Even when you do this in medieval times that's a disasterous decisions. There is a reason why it's called FRONTline. And why one of the most used military strategis is flanking. If you storm in like that, you pretty much superflank yourself...
    6
  69. All the weapons are borderline worthless (in terms of military victims - you can of course still shoot at people with them) when you don't have the surveillance to lead them. Russia got al the surveillance there, while the satellite images NATO may be able to deliver don't allow full life coverage, what would be needed to follow at least a tactic to attack the Russian front, which got a wide circle of certain death around its front. NATO is used to fight people with ZERO surveillance, so they can move whereever and whenever they want, then use their artillery, bombers, drones and so on to just shoot at anything they want with close to zero counterfire. The situation in Ukraine is close to the opposite.
    6
  70.  @sonaruo  If Mortas would be the highest range weaponry you got, sure. But thay aren't.
    6
  71. The franatics attemps clearly point at a VERY hard grip of Azov on the whole regime. Not even such a big surprise, seeing how they also dominate the media, including the official one of Ukraine.
    5
  72. How Russia got these informations: they will simply just listening to it. We talk about complete chaotic structures, quite easy for a highly advanced army like Russia to find a way into communication - and just listen.
    5
  73. Funny that people thing that dirty bomb thing seems so farfetched, while Ukraine is literally bombarding a nuclear power plant and the west saying NOTHING toward it but trying to blame Russia (what of course simply does not work). If you destroy a NPP, you GOT a dirty bomb. Not a nuke, but a dirty bomb.
    5
  74. They gave me a good idea how to survive this crisis they brought. I just put a price cap on everything I need and don't give them more money than that. Pretty sure it will work very well!
    5
  75. Have you talked about that in the UN now 52 nations voted against condemning Nazism (includes Germany, Italy and Japan). A year ago it had 'only' been the USA and Ukraine - with USA voting against condemning Nazism for many years meanwhile...
    5
  76. I see them using busses for the vote. Very smart Much too risky to use official buildings for that.
    5
  77. That attak was nothing to be proud of, it's that simple. It was a sneak attack on a soft, civil target = it got no protection and also had no militar worth. That's why Ukraine also did not like it. It did nothing to weaken Russia, just gave them reason to retaliate even harder. There is not 100% protection in reality, so strikes against soft targets are always possible - even strikes against military targets. Question is, how much it will cost you and the enemy.
    5
  78.  @andrewpease3688  The start wasn't poor at all. The sole reason it "didn't work out" was NATO fascism and Banderas being insane enough to burn down Ukraine for their greed, else this would have been over very quicky and little damage. Russia can't change that insanity part, but the troops aroujnd Kiev still pinned down the Banderas army with very few soldiers for such a giant city and country, a very well done pinning operation and that without burning down Kiev as NATO would have done. Attacks on infrastructure came monthes later when NATO and Banderas poxies started with terror attacks like on the Crimean bridge and they still hold back much more than NATO does in all of their wars.

  79. Why? Le Pen is awesom for Macron, you peopel still don't get that the neo right wingers are the best buds of the old right wingers, eh?
    5
  80. That didn't even happen in 1.WW like that... They just copy/pasted some Hollywood action version of it.
    4
  81. Quite obvious, especially with that timine, that thos 300k will focus heavily on securing on the new areas of Russia. This will of course also free the heavy strike forces from that job and will also support them beyond that, massively.
    4
  82. USA really, really, really needs all of Russian resources for the future and Ukraine got some, too. It's all about wealth and power. War is never about anything else.

  84. High stake poker game - thinks EU. Meanwhile the actual game played is chess - with EU throwing cards at the table, wondering why nothing works.

  85.  @Skousen77  Wht will make it quite the mess with the combat range of such fighters, which is far below the traveling range.
    4
  86. Haste in general means higher risk. You can have situation in which you should act fast to not lose an advantage, but even then the risk still remains. There is nothing in Ukraine that forces Russia to act faster.
    4
  87.  @mamacryright5740  EU is far right since start, child, it's created that way.
    4
  88.  @xenusceptic  Yeah, imagine you are are a reasonable person and just can't get in your head the insanity of Nazis and their super suicidal Endsieg fantasies. How foolish.
    4
  89. That wave plan would be absolute stupid (plus in deep disdain of human life...). Normally as defender you want to force the attackers into something like that, that they are not able to attack all at once and every part of your front. To do that on purpose as attacker is... absurd. And - everything aside how disgusting it is to just sacrifice the lives of your soldiers like that - to send in your worst soldiers last is the icinig on that cake of insanity.
    4
  90.  @mayo911  Standard tactical behaviour to do that. Retreat from a hard to defend position, let the enemy come and counter attack it, simply summarized. People don't get, that the border areas of the Russian hold territory are not where the majority of its righting forces are. Just look a the range of used weapon systems and you may imagine how it really works. The line on the map is nor wall nor any other kind of defense line you have to or even can break through. It's the line behind which you get in range of way more weapon systems. To cross that line and 'capture' the area behind it isn't hard at all. It's just extremely dangerous.
    4
  91. Who ever cares about that anyway.
    4
  92.  @michaelkatz275  Because it's in a good positions and Iran got no prob to work with Russia that way? Most satellites move pretty fast around the earth (so they can stay closer earth, the closer you get the faster the satellite must be to stay in an orbit, countering the gravity of earth), so you only got certain time windows with every of these satellites to look at the stuff you want to see. There are of course also geo stationairy satellites, but those travel along the equator with the spin of earth (and appear by that 'stationary') - and they have to be around 36.000km away from earth for that (since they HAVE TO travel at this exact speed or they wouldn't stay above that certain spot, obviously).
    4
  93. 88 tanks, eh? From germany? To Nazis? 88? The number Nazis love so much, because 88 = HH = Heil Hitler?
    4
  94. The whole situation sounds very odd. It's looks more like a tried raid of Ukraine, which then led to a battle with some destroyed vehicles on both sides. I see no reason for Russia to cross a river that is still contested like that, it's not needed in modern times with more than enough range to first clear the other side for good.
    4
  95. Really don't know why he focusses so much on that number. It's not like they come up with absurd numbers. It may differ a bit, because overall it's still a guess when for example they destroy a factore or depot and can't look inside and count every single one. But overall the absolute exact numer does not matter. Take 100-200 more or less, doesn't change anything.
    4
  96.  @rohanmehta1339  In that case the moral of Ukraine would be on the sea of the floor at this point. And losing military equipment is something normal. It would be way worse to have lose the crew than the ship. Again: the Moskva is not even a new and modern ship. It's more like kicking grandpa instead of choosing to fight his children. Will this demoralize the children? Or just make them angry?
    4
  97.  @homeguardster  Sure, Adolf, sure.

  98.  @marshalleubanks2454  Problem is, USA is not used to at all to get attacked.
    3
  99.  @saxoncelt9823  Annoying for Crimean citizens. No impact at all on the military, which can just use landing ships and alike for transport or just use the landbridge - ignoring how Crimea has a massive military HQ anyway.
    3
  100. It seems there are tunnel leading to the trainstation, those are very likely blocked by Russian army or Donbass militia.
    3
  101. Since Urkaine is an utterly failed state, Russia can just wait it out regarding Odessa. Not unlikely that Ukraine will fall apart anyway and then you can go take Odessa as easy as Crimea.
    3
  102. What is that "embarassement" talk all the time? Since when do we call terror attacks an embarassement for the victim?
    3
  103. Reminds me of US fascism in Korean war, when they were pushed back by China and during the peace talks started to bombard Korean civilians even more, since it could bring them in a better position to get more land. Did not work by the way - beside causing the death of many thousand more civilians. Meanwhile a very good way to WORSEN your position in peace talks is to have not much of your army left because you sent it to the slaughter.
    3
  104. It's simply a disaster. Absurd who people can ignore how terrible this is.
    3
  105.  @blue_diamond_gem  How? They started with hundredthousands of soldier and many more were forced into service by the fascistis regime. Over the last monthes they lost way more than those 15k. Why should they collapse now from 15k?
    3
  106.  @philippe2715  Could also shoot down certain satelites used for such strikes. Russia is able to do this.
    3
  107. Sure, those mythical ukrainian anti ship missiles Azov Nazis likely fire out of their asses. We haven't seen any of them in real action, the last sunk ship was not damaged at all. And that river crossing thing looks more like an Ukrainian raid stopped anyway.
    3
  108. Liberal = neoliberal = capitalists? Or in what way? When you hear "liberal" in the west they close to never mean liberal, but neoliberal = economical 'liberal' = plutocracy.
    3
  109. We talk about Nazis. We talk about peopole who got as core of their ideology that genocide of millions of 'subhumans' is fine. It's not about if whole Ukraine would do that. You don't need many people for it. Just a few crazies and then people in the background, who deliver the support, because it's useful for them. What has NATO done to this day that makes people think, that they care about if a single Ukraines lives in the end? All these weapons they send has already caused way more death than any dirty bomb would cause. And the whole point would be to blame it on Russia anyway, so it can't really be tooo absurd and sick, in contrary, the more disgusting it is, the more useful for the plan.

  111. The case with Melnyk in germany was, that he openly denied on a youtube blog "Andrij Melnyk, Botschafter der Ukraine - Jung & Naiv: Folge 580" (only german, though), that Banderas and alike were fascists and that they are indeed heroes. While he was hard to hold as an ambassador that why (because overall that goes in direction of Holocaust denial what is a crime in germany), it's not like our government and even less media cared THAT much about it. Yeah, sure, he better should go back to Ukraine now (where he was promoted!), but for example even our main stream media still love to quote that man in not in a bad way at all.

  117.  Jamieray Z  The fuel will quickly become the quickets problem. Tanks burn a lot of it and Ukraine has massive energy problem including fuel and to transport it. Overall Russia can just focus to push that further and NATO could send 2000 tanks, they simply lack the ability to move them.

  118. It's pointless to just make some holes into a bridge. If you want to destroy a bridge you must damage/destroy the carrying structure at best to the point in which its own weight makes it crumble. Holes in any other part don't matter much at all.

  119. No, they were not. You are defeated when you hold against it, by that waste the lives of your soldiers, what Ukraine/NATO loves to do with the lives of Ukrainian soldiers (overall it seem that NATO just wants to thin out Ukraine's population...) and lose that fight. If you fall back to lure in the enemy to counter him with much less effort and danger for your own troops, that's simply what you call military strategy and tactics.

  120.  @maxmensch8910  What massives losses? You alwayys got losses, it's a modern war with weapons system that can fly or shoot up to 100s of km. It's not a video game that takes place on a 1qm km map and where your units all got some health bar and whatever.

  121.  @CloneDAnon  Russia is 100% involved. They abuse Ukrainians as cannonfodder, but everything else is its war. And Ukraine can't win anyway, since even a win of NATO would be a total loss for Ukraine.

  123. Moskva would have been the worst target to choose for that one shot they got. A very old ship with no importance in the SMO, borderline no offensive quality and also withotu any other meaning beside an historical and emotional one. Overall with Crimea around and how Russian militar technic works, Russia does not even need the missile ships, since they can easily use ground based launchers too to fire these missiles. There was not other attack like that so if it was Ukraine, they wasted that one shot they got on an almost half a century old ship that was borderline out of comission anyway.

  125. @Marcel Daman Small? You need several tons to damage a railroad bridged and even more when you actually want to destroy the pillar, what might not work at all as long as you don't plant it directly at the pillar, since even a detonation will still follow the easiest path = the main force will just fizzle out in thin air. That's why even that massive explosion/fireball didn't do much to the bridge. The pressure was only strong enough directly at the location of the truck/center of explosion and the other parts were damage by being linked to that crumbling bridge part, while even the other, not linked lanes beside it are close to undamage and just a bid blackened. The railroad bridge is built even more stable, since it must withstand even more weight, pressure and vibration from the trains. You would need a massive bomb for that and it's much harde to plant that on a train, which by the lack of numbers is much easier to control. Not impossible, sure, but just a little bomb will do nothing.

  132. Saw an a bit older documentation about the capitalistic system and how money in it is created. Not really anything new, but I 'loved' one remark of one of the banker guys in it, trying to explain the system. He explained how money is created by the banks as debt and how overall the person he was speaking to could work was much as he want, without the investors, this wouldn't be worth anything. This absurd view nicely explains the core of our problems - and how the get the idea, that they could break Russia. They really think, that it is all about the FIAT money.

  133.  @nathanneiman  Looking at the losses at this point alone, Ukraine sacrificed a hell lot of pawns to just advance somehow to the other side. I don't see how they took something like a knight. Where?

  137. Patriot is ridiculous expensive.

  138. Even after so many years people think that Ukraine/NATO wouldn't be stupid enough to do something like that. It's hard to believe, how less fascists care about even the lives of their own soldiers.
    2
  139. Why? It's overall blown up to an absurd degree, as sad as every dead is. The attack on Crimean Bridge or even the terrorist attack with that car bomb in Russia itself would have been a much bigger thing in comparison. That soldiers can die when in war... well, yes, it's war. Nazi Ukraine loses x times that much every single day.
    2
  140. The videos they showed about it make no sense. The showed peopel lying on the street and tell the story, that Russian soldiers bound and executed them, while its pretty clear, that those people died from shelling. They likely killed those peopel with shelling and then just abuse our western war propaganda, that everything bad is Russian's fault.

  145. Less opinion would work well, this podcast today wasn't a good one, here the reason. 1. I wonder how many terrible bad decisions were made in military and political history because "Oh no, that would be emberassing." 2. War isn't a videogame. It's not that if you just make the right decisions you will be an invincible wall that just marches forward. When Ukraine, which got much more soldiers and full NATO amasses forces in one point, it CAN of course push forwards. It's still a terrible mistake and disgustingly without care for the lives of their soldiers, but of course this will 'work' in regard of pushing in the wanted direction. 3. The idea, that the Russian leadership would think, that some militia is strong enough to push back heavenly armed forces is just ridiculous. They did not think that. No one sane would ever think that. That's the whole point of the withdrawal. If the enemy makes an offenense like that, you don't throw away the lives of your peopel and push against it, you fall back and counter. 4. Stop using words like 'emberassing' and 'disasters' especially in such an absurd way. It's a disaster for the Ukrainian soldiers who are sent to to their death for nothing. For Russia it's not even close to anything of a disaster - it would be one, if they would be so stupid to hold against it and waste lives for that. Moral? Moral of whom? Internet soldiers? Russia clearly does not care at all what some people on the internet think.

  146. It's absolute normal, to have a lot of outdated units around, which are not in active sevice anymore and not really fit to use, but when you run out of everything, you come up with it. NATO will also have delivered more of it, not even talking much about it. You can also repair units, which are partly destroyed or out of order, so you can per se put a single unit several times out of order, but of course it's hard to tell the difference from afar and overall every destruction is a real one, doesn't mean that it's a total loss by turned to dust. It's absoluet normal to have more units destroyed at the end than the armies started with. It's the reason why Russia started to destroy military production and repair stations and of course started to destroy infrastructure that carries stuff from NATO into Ukraine.

  147. Sorry but @ Nazis in Azovstahl: look at the fanatism of such people in history. They will likely just kill everyone and themselves...

  148. Always have to explain to peoplekm, that the GDP mainly means how much the life in a country is monetarized, not how productive it really is. As fictional exampoe, you could take 100 millionen people paying each other 100$ to swipe each others bottom (and all you need is a single 100% note to make the round) and you would generate a 1 billion GDP - without having actually creaeted anything or make anything different, those 100 million people still just swipe a behind, just that of another person and they pay 100$ to someone for that and take 100$ for from someone for that. If you have many people paying rent? Good for the GDP. If everyone owns the house or appartment they live in? Devastating for the GDP (additional pending on the way it is counted). Difference regarding the living situation itself? None. By the way: reusing and sellin existing things = terrible for the GDP, because for example a 2 second hand car is not seen as value in GPD. So wasting a hell lot of resources to play old stuff with new stuff instead of keep the old stuff working = terrible for GDP. GDP has a whole mountain of problems.

  151. USA massively supported Hitler even during the war and mainly went it for the looting when Hitler had lost. They kept most Nazis in power for obvious reasons, because NATO was simply created to continue the 2.WW, then called "Cold War", with the same goal: world domination by bringing Russia and China to their knees. Simply don't work out at all - though they almost got Russia, thanks to some naivity, that we, the west, are not bloodthirsty monster driven by endless greed.... Gorbatschow and Co really thought you can trust us, oh my...

  153. Annexion? If you ask the people who live there, it's not what the word "annexion" means. Actually it's far closer to annexsion what the Ukraine coup regime is trying to do - stealing the land of the people who live there with brutal and absolute illegal violence.

  156. Around 80% of voters in germany voted for right wing parties (SPD, Greens, FDP, CDU/CSU, AfD), making clear that they love corruption and warmongering. Most of that majority likely believe that they did the opposite of that, because they are incredible stupid and uneducated and actually got zero clue what they are voting for.

  159. Question would be: what kind of person wants to stay with a completely ruined country that even if the war would ended right now will still bleed out from all the aftermath of the NATO "support" and of course all the still heavily armey Nazis (and when it comes to power, weapons easily trump all...).

  160. War is simply the most aggressive version of the usual right wing despotism of the elites. Instead of just pillaging the masses, they send them against the poor (and partly elites) of other countries to pillage them, too. Lots of dying slaves which don't have to be fed afterwards are a bonus. And no, as soon as you do this you are by definiton following right wing ideology, which IS just that elitism. The maximum violence allowed on the west side is to break just that elitisml, for sure not to sacrifice and slaughter millions of the poor masses.

  165. It's just greed and desperation. The west - and that since a very long time - wants Russia's gigantic reserves of natural resources. And meanwhile it NEEDS them. Europe never had much and even less left. And the endless hunger of the US system is so massive, that it burns to the meager rest of US resources at gignatic speed. What it has left is MAINLY coal and wood. Not really something you can run an Empire on.

  167. Story is also as usual absolute bullshit. IF you do something like that, you don't send two highranked military guys to just drive there, smear it on the door and then drive back. An operation like that would have many more people involved, preparing everything and working together in a network to cover the whole thing up. The fact, that they tried to push the narrative, taht only Russia can have that stuff, what is clearly a 100% lie just underlines the whole fake. Was the same as the Polonium attack. "It's from Russia!" Yeah - and guess. Russia is selling that stuff since years and one of the main buyers is the USA...

Its fascists want to repeat 2.WW, where everyone else is ruining each other and then the USA goes in at the end for the big looting. That's their idea, that's what NATO exists for. NATO is the Wehrmacht of Führer USA. They shall sacrifice itself against Russia and China, while USA sits there in oversea and waits till the fighting is over before it stands up and declares itself emperor of the whole world (and its resources).

  173.  @JimCOsd55  Peopel still come up with that year old meme, eh? You do get that the numbers of the coup regime are utter bullshit. If they were true, even without any NATO help, Ukraine would have a bigger army than they started with. Instead even with the hundreds of tanks NATO alread sent in and all the other units, they still beg for more, more, more and with all the PR videos they make you never see any giant tank army or alike.

  174.  @JimCOsd55  They went into Kharkiv because Russia went out of it - that's the sole reason. See; when your Nazis are so superior, how don't they take Donezk for example?

  176.  @JimCOsd55  Uh, child, Ukraine had MASSIVE losses around Lyman trying to take it all day and simply were not able to. Your magical HIMARS system mainly shoot at civilians in the cities and sometimes at a bridge and barely manage to destroy any of them, Just a little reminder of the bridge by Kherson city they tried to destroy over weeks. Russia destroyed it at the end, those HIMAR firecrackers did close to nothing. You come up with social media stories and fantasies about superior NATO tactics. The NATO tactic is to bomb the shit out of third wolrld country, then simply fail on the ground because there is simply no plan after "just burn the country down". What Wagner is doing is their thing. If you really believe these human waves tactics, you look to many bad war movies and think those are real. Reminds me of that 2.WW game , that of course pushed that idea, that the Soviets were just wasting the lives of their people for the lols. Good old fascism PR.
    1
  177.  @JimCOsd55  Useles in regard of the war and it got ZERO to do with Lyman and Kherson city, both a MASSIVE deaster for the coup regime with brutal losses. Russia does not care go give up some territory. War is not about territory. Not as number. Even the falling towns and cities now are not the point. They simpl show, because the are the CORE DEFENSE LINE of the whole coup regime, that it is collapsing, even with all the billions NATO had pumped in and the regime wasting a whole generation of young men for its insane fascism. Russia went out of Kharkiv because it had not defense there and with the small numbers of soldiers they had went in, it's not about holding any little place on the map. You retetreat from there, not risking the lives of your soldier for nothing and instead use that badly fortified territory to pound the enemy when he occupies it. That's not even some super special tactic or strategy, it's actually very standard. Kherson City was a bit different, since many civilians lived there, so Russian and East Ukrainian soldiers accepted the bad position with a giant river in the back to defend them. But when the Nazis started the try to blow up the damn and that with NATO support, the risk got to high, so the civilians had to be evacuated anyway. With them gone, it was pointless to hold that bad position and instead they went some km south to massively improve it. Even befoer they caused brutal losses to the coup regime troops, now its even worse. Not even the "victories" of the Nazis are good, even those are a desaster. War is all about your military. You got no military left = you lose = you also got no territory left. All the territory is for the winner to take as he pleases.

  178.  @tonysargent3852  You mean by the Nazis who abused them as human shields and fire upon them? Also: one soldire not giving up does not give you the right to execute those who did. It's not the first video of Nazis torturing PoW and civilians to death.

  179. The change of position from a hard disadvantage to a very advantage position was a clear step even further to victory. That Russia could dominate with all disadvantages on their regarding the area just shows, how muh stronger they are, even more when you look at how disastrous the K/D ratio of the coup regime is. It's also not compareable with Dunkirk at all. Pretty much the opposite.

The moment the NATO transfusion cease (and they will, since NATO neither can't allow itself to continue like that, no will it want to in the future anyway) coup regime Ukraine will just cumble to dust. Remember what EU did to greece. And you think they gonna build up something like Ukraine? No, Ukrain is sees as fire wood at best.

Without the equipment and the soldiers, all the area is meaningless.

  193. Merkel is known for being absolut dishonest. It's of course nothing you will read about her in mainstream media. She's known for jumping the bandwagen and as a black widow in her own party, getting rid of all opponents there in a serpentine way. People understimate how vile that person is, because she looks so harmless. If you want to know what kind of person Merkel is regarding NATO, just look up what she did after 9/11, when Schröder said "no" to german taking part in attack on Iraq (mainly because he wanted to be reelected, though, it's not like germany didn't really do nothing... Merkel, while not even leading the CDU and not being in the opposition in germany, traveled to the USA and crawled before Bush Jr. For the few informed germans there are, it was a quite disgusting and ridiculous display.
    1
  194. Merkele likely thinks about the fact, that after the coup the coup regime had a massive problem with the army not following along and even switching sides and if that would have been further enforced by Russia it could easily have happened, that the coup would fall apart, without the hold of the Nazi network that was build up after that as compensation.

  203. Wonder if Russia thinks about purging that complex below Azovstal with fire now.

  204.  @danl5592  It's their whole build up. They got a brutal attack force line a good way behind the actual front and just some 'watchers' and smaller units actually at/clost to that front line. If there is a big income, those small units fall back and the actual attack front is crushing the attacker having to move into range. It's simply a good way to make attacking our actual main force pretty hard, since for actual attack on it, the enemy has to move their heavy equipment into the area you control. And no: just moving there does not mean that you control the area. If you want to control an area you have to be the one who dominates it with your firepower. If the other side does, you are simply in for a very bad time.

  207. A city are its people. The rest is just lifeless material you can build up wherever you want. Russia went out of that area and took the city with them. Militarywise, they are in a 10 times better position now and the coup regime will have an even harder time now. Not sure at what they want to shoot at now anyway withoug bridges and city to destroy and attacking the dam also became pointless at best.

  208. Speed isn't that surprising. When you got two people fighting each other and one is superior in every regard, the other still might fight back for a while, especially when the superior one is holding back, but in the end the inferior fighter will run out of stamina and collapse. It's overall the same thing: they hold against it, was likely partly forced and Russia did not went for just break through and them, but exactly that outcome: that they run out of everything and collapse. This happens 'surprisingly' fast when compared with the defiance before that, but overall it's just natural - and also shows the inferiority, the inexperience quite well, when you waste your energy and resources like that. It's exactly what comes to mind when they cheer about "counter offensives". A counter offense got no worth itself. In contrary: it's costly and dangerous. You should only do it, when you can reach something important and at least(!) equal worth (though in that case you should still likely not do it, regarding the danger, what can make the outcome worse than you hope for) with it and of course are also able to keep it. All their propanda seems to have make the Ukrainian leaders believe, that this is just some show or game.

  209.  @davidlazarus67  Looking at how they seem to be unable to learn since YEARS, it seems all experience gets lost via death or deserting all the time and they just throw cannonfodder at it. Partly not even sure, if they just want to get rid of as many people as possible in Ukraine. Overall: killing many (poor) people IS a quite nice solution for many plutocratic problems. If they were certan to get away with it, they would likely get rid of at least half of humankind if not more.

  213. War is deception. Russia got not just zero but negativ reason to inform those internet warriors, since those spew that to everyone, including the enemy. This whole 'feud' look liks a clownshow on purpose, for deception, because if not, Prigohzin would already be canceld if not judged for treason, spewing informations to the enemy like that. (Social) media got an amusing focus on Wagner - easy to exploit this and would make much more sense. Does anyone think that a mercenary would be so suicidal to piss of his client like that? I mean, in that case you must think that Prigozhin is a complete idiot.

  214. That hills in the west idea doesn't make much sense anyway as this offense is going, because they are already flanked there. They might have had the idea to have these lines to fall back to and then just bombard the city, but as things are, Russia isn't stupid to just went into the city into hard and risky melee, but comes from the flanks, including those western lines. The west seems to think that warfare is all about having a nice theory and stay with it, instead of adapting, likely because they are used to just stomp a far inferior enemy, who can barely fight back to begin with.

  215. Don't get how you can come to the idea of inflation of numbers on Russian side. It's not like those numbers are that big overall. A count of vehiles in an army is never exact, since you can differ a lot which are actuall ready to go, what is in repair, what COULD be repaired if necessary, what shouldn't be repaired anymore, but in case of need you will still do it, and of course units delviered form outside. Russia will also count units in production and alike, when they destroy factories and you simply may have some doubled counts, because a unit was per se out out of order, but could be repaired and so on. It's not like they throw around with ridiculous numbers like Ukraine does.

  216. Doubt, that there is much ammunition lying around in a depot near the dam, when it's clearly in range and pretty sole target of that HIMARS nonsense. And the whole thing just shows, that Ukraine got no surveillance, only blindly shooting at stuff that simply can't move (and still fail at that).

  220. @ Ukraine trying to get a better position in a political solution with their military 'tactic': That's even more dumb than believing in being able to win this. Sounds a lot like USA, though.

With NATO spies and alike having their fingers everywhere, such manipulation would be pretty easy and before you would have to actively search for such manipulation and even can likely even then overlook it. Overall Russia is no warned and you can't win a war with sabotage. It's simply further escalation - just like the bombarding of the power plant.

  237. Question would be, why of all such an unimportant target. The missile strikes come from all the other ships and Russi got way more other radar around, so even that is not that important. When it wasn't an accident, it was an absolute dumb strike. They had this one chance of surprise and wasted it completely. Destroying 2-3 frigates or at least one frigate would have been much more worthwhile from a military PoV.

  245. That "coup" in germany sounds like some people out of the madhouse planing this. Reichsbürger are pretty oddballs, but the idea that there really was the danger of an actual coup is of course bullocks. This said: crazy people CAN be dangerous of course and cause damage and death, even if their ideas make no sense (just look at the EU for example or NATO or the coup regime in Ukraine...). It seems more like a try to push the old propaganda of "Russia tries to sow Chaos in the west via right wing etremists". There was an older story, that Russia shall have bought an AfD member of the german parliament and media made it a big deal. Of course it simply made no sense for Russia to buy some guy in the back rows for... yeah, for what? Buying politicians is a big thing in germany, it's nicely legalized in many ways, but to buy someone of an opposition party who just simply plays no role at all makes no sense and if you want insight, you could just watch the parliament or let someone get hired there as secretary or alike.

  246. For them a burned down Ukraine is just a giant win. 1. It's easy to pillage. 2. Even the smallest damage done to Russia and the new territories is a win for them. 3.

  247. People should really stop to talk about tactical nuclear weapons. It seems they only know nukes out of video games and think a tactical nuke is soemthing you just throwin a military camp or a factory or bridge, got a nice little boom and some destruction and that's it. The SMALLEST tactical nukes are STILL the size of the Hiroshima Nuke! If you would for example use such a nuke on a city like Berlin, it would wipe out the whole centre of the city and cause massive detruction in the majority of the rest of the city. So, please, stop to talk about nukes as if that's something you just throw around. Regarding the DESTRUCION OF BRIDGES: If you for example use a weapons that is made to destroy/penetrate bunkers, this would of course also just pulverize the pillars of a bridge = its actual, not or very hard to repair destruction. Explosions like the terror attack which creat some pressure but mainly a lot of fire look big, but fire simply does nothing to a bridge and the pressure is only big enough for destruction right at the location of the truck, but beyond this it quickly disperses mainly into the air and just flows by the bridge. That's why the other lane right next to the explosion center is close to undamaged and still usable. And the pillars are of course WAY to massive, esecially when it comes to such a bride. Those are build to withstand the sea, including drifting ice. You need something like a bunker buster to destroy something like that and of course the penetrating warhead must directly hit it.

They were even on Ukrainian television. A working BUK system ist more than just a single vehicle. The idea, that Russia would send a fraction of a Russian BUK system on an Odyssey throughout Ukraine (even through coup regime frontlines in and out, yeah, sure) is something not even a braindead monkey should believe. If they would have talked about a conquered Ukrainiane BUK and an accident, fine, you could have talked about that (even though Ukraine side they had lost no BUKs), but that wasn't enough for them, they hade to make up the wildest fantasy story about that Russian BUK. If Russia wants to shot down Ukrainian jets, they could easily do that from their own territory, no need to drive a BUK there.

  269. It's not just Fukushima and alike. "Die Linke" is fought by all our media and other parties as the actual only opposition party (over 5%) we got in germany and the only left wing party which actually follows our "Grundgesetz" in which human rights and alike are praised as the most important law above all (while not one cares about it and it doesn't matter if you break those or the Grundgesetz). They are also the only not corrupt party not taking money from oligarchs for changing laws after their will what happens all the time in germany - while simply sold as 'legal' (of course you can just legalize everything you want, even more when breaking the highest laws simply doesn't matter anyway). All other parties, including the greens are right wing neolibs up to outright warmongers (with the AfD mainly playing the part of a fake opposition, created to bring back those voters who are unsatisfied and just vote something else out of protest, right back into the system). The german greens just betrayed everything the original creators wanted, they don't even care for ecology, they don't care about peace, that's why the german media is now fine with them and supports them, because they simply became another neoliberal "Block Partei" (block party) and in case of the racist warmongering even the leading party. They are not really doing anything for nature or any kind of improvement regarding energy problems. It's simply a fake image they still hold up to manipulate the dumb part of voters who never question anything (which is sad enough a pretty big part of german voters). Regarding Fukushim and Merkel: her party CDU had to do something, because the fearmongering these days could have a bad impact on the elections, but overall they made sure, that the energy companies would make even more money out of it.

  281. There is always a lot going on behind the curtain. Beside the proganda work, which is pure chaos on itself, it's quite likely, that the USA does not like attack on senior officers and alike, because it will push the Russian to do the same: targeting NATO personal inside Ukraine, which overall will be the absolute main reason why the coup regime is able to do such attacks in the first place. There is also for sure quite some fighting inside NATO and the USA itself, certain circles doing their own thing, especially those on CIA level, which are use to do absolute criminal and illegal things.

Ukraine got NATO, but their fascistic bond isn't a strong one and NATO is already bleed dry. When winter comes, this situation will become much worse and neithe EU nor USA will have much left to share. Money does not help you in the end, you can do nothing with money itself.

  286. 30% can be righti. I don't think that Russia is "testing for weakness", since what do you want to test there? The weakness of the electric infrastructure is absolute obvious. It's more that it's still a warning. If they take out 90%, you would have pure chaos in Ukraine and everything would collapse. While this of course would include the military, it would be terrible for all civlians. Russia does not want that. It can be, that the Nazis and their NATO master push the conflict to that point, but Russia doesn't want it. If they couldn't care, the would have done that day 1.

And no, no chance to win a war like that, if it's the only thing you got left, it's actually a good way to lose the war in an even worse way, because there will of cours be retaliation of some kind. War crimes? Which war crimes does Ukraine and their NATO masters not commit would be the question.

  295. There is no reason? Ukraine wants to drag NATO into the war, so the idea to attack Poland and everyone doing what Ukraine is used to = blaming Russia is quite a reason. Problem of Ukraine is, that the whole point of this hell is to sacrifice Ukraine for nice NATO gains. NATO will not join, it does not want to, it wants Ukraine bleed and die for it. Poland might think otherwise, but Poland is a minor, unimportant player in NATO.

Where does it lead? More dead Ukrainians and and an evern bigger collapse. Where did this hurt Russia? Sure, there are some small loses, it's war, a real war, not a videogame war, so there are always loses. But looking at the big picture, what had Russia lost? Nothing. This area there is of no importance. It's not about area. The real bill is another massive lose of thousands of troops and billions worth of equipment again.
