  1. "Rise in unemployment a price worth paying." - Price paying? Overall it's a prize on its own to reduce needed work. This only becomes a problem, in which you force people to work to have any worth.

  2. Again, the whole way Russian strategy and tactic works isn't about defening that line on the map, the firepower stand way behind those lines so yes, it's actually very easy to rush in like that - and right in the kill zone of that fire power.

  3. Wonder if Russia thinks about purging that complex below Azovstal with fire now. If there are really labs or alike, it wouldn't surprise me if they try to release any pathogen stored there, in try to contaminate Mariupol plus likely selling it as Russian crime and western media would spread this for sure.

  4.  @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.

  5.  @carls2170  That's obvious, the numbers of casualities alone is telling that it's an absolute disaster for the poor Ukrainians being send into certain death by their fascist leaders of coup regime and its NATO masters. It's disgusting. Even if you are willing to count that as conquering some area, it's close to nothing and at such terrible cost.

  6. There is ZERO reason to give Merkel the benefit for the doubt. She's a profesionell liar and manipulator of the worst kind and know for that since meanwhile decades, while of course our media does not care for that, but supports it.

  7. 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.

  8. 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.

  9.  @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.

  11. Rofl, what?! The Ukrainians? The coup regime drowns the Ukrainians in utter BS and lies. They are the absolute opposite of informative, they are anti-informative.

  12.  @JimCOsd55  You can call it whatever you like, kid, overal fascism is just one of many words which explain the ages old system of the rich ruling over the poor. Capitalism is a 100% fascistic system for example and we, the whole 'free west' follow it by all bloody means.

  13. 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.

  14. 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.

  15. 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.

  16. 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).

  17. Russia does not care for the western half. The Western half got the problem that it is utterly ruined by coup regime and NATO...

  18.  @jamesthomaspaulJTP  They destroy the Ukrainian army further every single day.. You don't get it, hu? It's not about claiming area.

  19.  @Nobody-Nowhere  Problem will likely be, that they "signed" something, but it did not make them actual part of the Ukrainian forces. Overall the whole shitshow in Ukraine since 2014 is pure chaos and they mainly needed cannonfodder there for it.

  20. @ 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. When China went into Korea to stop the US genocide there (well and of course the USA simply taking over Korea), the USA bombed even more during the peace talks with the same goal.

  22. BILD (and in general Springer, which is the publisjer if BILD) is full of crap - and that's an insult against crap. That's nothing new, they deliver th worst kind of pseudo journalism since decades without shame. Famous cabaretist once said it well: "A paper so disgusting, that you insult dead fish if you wrap it up in it" (on german fish markets fish tended to be wrapped up in old newspapers)

  29.  @jacobjorgenson9285  Nonsense. Ukraine has commited so much terrorism during the years including against civil targets in Russia the last monthes, they don't need such a false flag.

  30.  @natotomato4625  No one ever benefitted from NATO but the USA. The whole reason it exists is to collect cannonfodder for US imperialism. No one gives a fuck to conquer Europe - for what? Nothting to gain from it.

  31.  @redscope897  NATO was created to conquer the world for the USA and all the European states are mainly there to be sacrificed in a war against Russia for that. There is no other reason and never was.

  32. Succesful would mean, that they took anything of worth to begin with. And even then you would have to count the costs for it, as you said. SInce Ukraine did not even get a prize, only the costs remain. It's absolut insane to call that a success as this point, it's the opposite.

  34.  @torgnyhansson7409  True, following your idea, they would simply not exister, after all the plan of you Nazis is to kill or displace them all. That's the sole reason behind the genocide going on since 2014.

  35. You mean like 9/11 proved that the USA is weaker than a bunch of guys with knives?

  36. Looks like a lot of small rockets. Alraedy asked myself if it's a bunch of captured manpads and alike, maybe they 'mined' one of these things and/or put it on a timer. 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.

  37. 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.

  38. Don't know how it is elsewhere, but when you search for "Ukraine" on youtube from germany, you ONLY get propaganda results. 100%.

  39. I mean, when you get caught by one of the Nazis and those call you a "Russian", they will likely rape and kill you, indeed. That's not even a surprise wehen it comes to Nazis and many of the Nazi supporters don't even try to hide, that they think like that.

  40. It would be easy to crush Ukraine, but this would cause a lot of unwanted death. Without NATO ruining itself, by pumping sheer endless billions into Ukraine, Ukraine would have fallen over a long time ago.

  45. 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.

  46. 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. They will use all this as propaganda for the idiotic cannonfodder to strengthen the chains and justify endless sanctions, what will NEVER hit them, they could use nukes without shame and the cannonfodder states would still do NOTHING.

  47. 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.

  50.  @jamesmorrow1646  You mean the UK story from the internet warriors? Their story makes zero sense. Meanwhile Ukraine got a whole row of BUK system standing around right at the frontline. 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.
