Well, according to that bald military officer it is indeed expected to lose 50 percent of your brigade while forcing the river. They are soldiers they are supposed to die
Anyone else expect Putin's plan to consist of >take all or more of Ukraine >die or retire >have replacement pretend it was worse than the holocaust but never give it back and attempt to restore relations with the west/nato
and if that were the case, I don't think he would stop at just Ukraine
I wish I followed this guy before he protected his tweets. I don't even use Twitter more than 5 minutes a week, but the tweets he put out were pure golden cope.
Hopefully they produce more of these and backfill the countries sending them so Ukraine can get a metric shitton of them.

I heard an analysis early in the war which I've never seen here or shared here so I thought I'd mention it. Supposedly Russia waited for a time when grain, oil, gas and fertiliser prices would be high to give themselves a better bargaining position against sanctions. They also prepared their economy against sanctions to a big extent. They seemed to expect the war to be relatively quick and for Ukraine to largely give up the fight early without there being enough time for other countries to make a difference by providing support. They're probably in a lot of long term trouble because of how badly this has backfired.

Give it to me straight boys. I want an update from the area around the pontoon crossings. Did the orks capture the surrounding hills across the river or not
Strelkov learned to hold his tongue, which is honestly a huge loss for everyone involved I liked him when he went of the fucking rails and publicly admitted the russian goverment assassinated key elements of ukraininan resistance back in 2014

I mean, the ten billion javelins they captured dont seem to have helped much kek What the russians are meant to do with yet another piece of artillery is anyones guess, you can bomb hospitals just as easily with russian arty im sure
They were accused pre war of restricting gas production to drive up prices - idk if you recall but the initial gas price spike actually happened well in advance of the invasion, looks pretty suspicious in hindsight

>inb4 everyone starts sending in the newest shit they have so it gets battle tested
I also really don't want to see major damage happen to the forests of Siberia. All our technology in this world doesn't even remotely reach the artifice embodied in even just simple shrubbery when it comes down to it.
>it got molotoved we're attaining levels of "oh my god is russia finally going to liberate itself from muscovites" that shouldn't even be possible
so now that the north is close to being retaken what's the plan? Defending the border line and then trying to take the south starting around kherson or focusing more on the eastern front through severodonetsk and kramatorsk?

Yep, Canada confirmed they sent some Excalibur shells, The US is more vague neither confirming or denying but most likely they also did send some.

>They also prepared their economy against sanctions to a big extent By building large foreign reserves, which were all cut off couple days in to the war lmao. Also all of their industry is dependent on western machines and components, they did fuck all to prepare for that
Isaiah Torres
yes. erdogan is literally nothingburger

I'M BREATHING IIIIINNN MY GENITAAALS *AAAHHHHHHH*
Ian Barnes
Supposedly yes
Daniel Rogers
but when you look at some precise strikes of ukrainian arty, they sure have them

>russia still won in the end oh man they're just walking flesh puppets filled with copium at this point
In terms of supply lines and shit it would probably make a lot of sense taking Kherson next Not just that though. Also banking/payment systems. But yes their industry is kinda fucked now. If sanctions hadn't lasted for long because the war didn't last for long and everyone wanted all those valuable things from Russia then maybe industry wouldn't have been too badly affected
Hunter Diaz
Is this what Yuri Bezmenov meant by ideological subversion? So confused you don't even know what you're for or against? kek
