Russian activity in Kherson is defensive
Relentlessly defensive?
😂
Glory to Ukraine
Putin: Master Tactician
If the Irish senate were to announce that they would stop recognising the Nazi Holocaust as a genocide, there'd be uproar, and rightly so. These types of announcements are quite important in their symbolism and indications of allegiance, and the latest such one shows how far things have shifted since last Christmas when relations with Russia were relatively normal.
As for what the Russian embassy thinks, I don't care. F*ck them. They're little more than an espionage division. They're probably too busy twiddling their nipples thinking about all the extra nefarious spy stuff they could have done if they'd gotten the planning permission for the embassy expansion through.
While that would definitely be of benefit to the conflict, they really 'only' need to get as far as Nova Khakovka. Nova Khakovka is still 65km south and more importantly on the other side of the Dnipro. I think that could take 2 to 3 months to achieve. If they can secure Nova Khakovka, they again control water supply to Crimea and render it nonviable for agriculture and substantial human settlement outside the military settlements.
Day in, day out, Russian television, never-ending talk about attacking other countries
I wonder if Severodonetsk is being used by the Russians to lure more Ukranian troops from elsewhere and then encircle them later?
Kherson battle location
They have being trying the "encircle plan" for a long time now.Ukraine are the side with the clever plans,Russia really uses one plan which is Artillery and advance with weak troops to see what's happening then advance with strong troops
..
Then why keep posting it when the threats are obviously empty and we've heard it all before? About as relevant as the rants of North Korea against the West.
They are not going to capture Severodonetsk and Lysychansk in the next two weeks and to capture the entire Donbass in two weeks they will need to nuke it!
Pretty much, yeah.
Who remembers this shoddy propaganda video of a North Korean man peacefully dreaming about the fiery destruction of an American city by nuclear missile?
The only thing Russia has any serious capability to attack the West with results in their own destruction in return. To paraphrase Conor McGregor, "they'll do f*ckin' nothin'".
They aren't empty, that's the thing. Putin will never stop trying to expand his "empire". It's important that this is understood.
He will when he's dead before 2023
The Poles:
...
Which one of them is the Russian Marty Morrissey - i.e. the most dangerous one?
The senate didn’t call them nazi however.
Currently Ukraine forces are defending across a 40km front on open ground. They can’t do the hit and run tactics which kept Russians out of Kiev. There being relentlessly shelled by artillery 30 or 40km away. If Russia break out than the Ukrainians could be in trouble, this is why American howitzers are needed.
You can get used to a lot of things I suppose
Without their nuclear threat Russia would be militarily flattened by Western forces. It would be a complete and utter turkey shoot for the most part. Ukraine going by the numbers are completely overwhelmed by Russian numbers. And yet... A full on NATO force in the country? Game over Vlad.
Those "shows" and that's what they are, are aimed at the proles of Russia. They look like drunken rantings in the pub, because they know who their audience is and that's what it's aimed at.

Where the moon doth rise with a dragon's face
Solovyov appears to say the intention is still to take Kyiv and Lvov. The numerous Putin appeasers / fanboys in the West seem to think he just wants to annex the Donbass and may be missing the real aim here.
If the whole population of Russia was in Ukraine killing looting and raping your statement would be more accurate, but there not
The difference there is that the nazi party got a large portion of the vote prior to the war. There not been a free and far elections in Russia in some time, if ever. You don’t really have any opinion you just keep posting other peoples tweets stick to that.
100 days
Are you saying that the Russian people are not to blame for Putin getting elected, but the German people were for Hitler?
The Nazis got about 1/3 of the vote in the last elections 6 years before the war.
I'm pretty sure Putin would get a lot more than 1/3 of the Russian vote.
However I agree with your broader point, the Nazi comparison is lazy and inaccurate, the historical and political circumstances are very different. Putin is his own vile piece of work who in 100 days has led to the death of tens of thousands of people and the displacement of millions. And the seeming indifference to this among many Russians is infuriating. At the same time, I personally know quite a few Russians who are enraged and ashamed of their country. Just as there were in Nazi Germany. Not enough, but they do exist.
Agreed - the Russian state has become a disgusting place, led by people and opinion influencers who are increasingly extreme nationalistic & fascist.
But our senate passing some meaningless motion on same is as effective as farting.
