A bunch.
Good thread.
No. It only proves they failed him. But why? It might be simply because of a fear terror created by Putting, which gave him back wrong information, which was to please him, not really inform him.
If the UA take Izyum or Kherson it will prove the Russians are at their end.
Amazing footage. The final shot detonates the ammo. Can also see it's operating from a height of 150 meters.

Russians look to be pulling out faster than Ron Jeremy heading off for lunch. Good stuff.
She will lose her kids over this. Tragic stuff.
Thanks, missed this somehow
Was thinking why keep dropping bombs...then ok then...

Many suspected that there was a mole in the FSB. What did this person/s do well it’s though amongst other things that they managed to delay no stop events such as the push for zelyenski, apparently they, the Russians were very close at it is said the mole muddied the water just enough to cause confusion. Of course oan individual like this would be good enough to cover his/her tracks that the reason for the scatter gun purge.
The GRU are known for running of the books spies, as in agents that aren’t listed in diplomatic missions.
That was impressive. Was not expecting that.
More of the usual
If that was the Irish Army, the deafness claims would be flying in!
As sure as night turns to day, Russian state TV will belch out bellicose jingoism. What would be far more interesting at this stage would be any signs in their media of an acceptance that things aren't going as well as planned and a discontent about that.
Are we taking bets where in Ukraine the next Eurovision will be held ?
Article 2 of the Friendship Treaty (from 1992) between Finland and Russia states that the two countries will conduct bilateral negotiations in constructive spirit, and Article 4 states the two countries will not threaten each other with the use of force.

I'm no expert, but threatening to nuke the other isn't part of the treaty. It's almost as if Russia can't be trusted in these matters.
Russian reaction to Eurovision, culminating in dropping white phosphorus bombs on Mariupol with quotes from the winners written on the bombs.
I would be more interested if there was no talk of a coup.
If somebody had intelligence about a genuine coup attempt, they most certainly wouldn't be mentioning it.
Saying there is a coup attempt underway in the Kremlin isn't really saying anything that Putin isn't already paranoid as hell about, would be my guess. Whether it's true or not, I believe the idea behind publicly suggesting it is to rattle Putin even further than he already has been and ideally make him turn on his own advisors and have them turn on him as well. That puts the Russian leadership into disarray and affects their ability to make wise decisions, which in turn would hopefully hamper the Russian military's already ragged performance in Ukraine.
I think all these "leaks" and rumours about coups are more for keeping the idea of a coup in the minds of those within Putin's circle, and the army chiefs. I've no doubt there's something brewing in Russia anyway.
The more talk of a possible coup that appears in all the different media the better.
A very brave professor
i completely agree that it wont just stop with Ukraine, they want Moldova too
Ukrainian troops reach the Russian border,,
Putin must thinking how long it will take them to get to Moscow
There is no ban on phosphorous munitions, and neither Ukraine nor Russia have signed the prohibition on cluster munitions. Not sure where that guy is getting it from.
Ukrainian Air Defense shot down 2 Russian helicopters(Ka-52 and Mi-28 and 5 Orlan-10 UAVs at Donbas
Interesting development : the Kremlin TV mouthpiece guy who threatened Ireland with nuclear weapons a couple of weeks back addresses Ireland's reaction in his latest show. Doesn't apologise but goes off on a deflection and says we should take it up with Boris Johnson for threatening Russia :
