Offcourse you dont,i guess RT,Sputnik and south front are your best bets,right
Welcome to truth hurts
Not to slip trough sabotage groups and spec ops teams,and for what we know it could be a diversion making Russians move more troops there to split them up on several fronts,like they did in their first offensive
I'd love to be wrong but I don't think Ukraine will make any serious moves from Kherson. They're likely just threatening so Russia have to keep more then a skeleton crew there and a few artillery units.
The Ukrainian leadership is not remotely the same as Russia's. Ukraine is democratic, Russia is totalitarian. Ukraine has political opposition, Russia has none. Ukraine isn't run by a dictator trying to rebuild an empire, Russia is. Ukraine isn't invading a country, Russia is. Ukraine isn't any threat to it's neighbours, Russia is. These are polar opposite nations, yet you lazily class them as "the same" because a) your posts demonstrate you have similar views to Putin on the West and b) engage in history reductionism and black/white thinking.
Russian propaganda 101 is literally first paragraph, "We're not perfect, but everyone else is just as bad as us"
That's how they frame and validate all their actions. They invade a country and slaughter civilians? They point out that in history other countries have done this. The equivalent of murdering someone and then saying "so what, other murders have happened".
Their followers all do the same. You are doing the same.
The Ukrainians have captured a large area of marshland that the Russians did not attempt to hold in the first place - because it has little strategic value.
They basically got a few lads in boats who went over and stuck a flag up. They cannot get heavy vehicles through that way and will get torn to pieces by artillery if they try to advance toward Russian defences.
The are already being shelled
You're arguing with someone who wants a coup to occur in the states and believes it's a conspiracy if it doesn't happen, you're not going to get something more coherent back, it's all going to be about how bad the west is, that russian is a victim or at least only as bad and thus what they're doing is justified.
Oh, and all the russian failures are actually successes, even when they collectively cr*p themselves on the world stage, it's unfair that Ukraine had the audacity to make them do that.
They don't need or want a nuclear powered carrier.
They just need the Russians to leave

Ukrainians in Bakhmut are having bombs dropped on them for the last 9+ months. I'd say that they are well used to it by now, and well prepared.
The use of 500kg+ bombs is mostly new in bakhmut
Previously it was predominately artillery shelling. A half ton of explosives is a totally different animal - how can you prepare for that other than with AA, which doesn't seem to be working/they don't have enough?
That's just the usual pathetic Russian propaganda where it's OK to invade your neighbours because USA attacked a country in the past. You don't support peace, you just want Russia to be able to do whatever they want. It's too late for that now.
From a few days ago -
"Who the hell knows. Ukrainians can't f**in do anything" 🤣
Report of pilots from Ukraine in training in the USA on F16s:
https://bnn.network/world/ukraine/ukrainian-pilots-train-on-f-16-fighters-at-us-air-force-base-in-arizona/
I believe it's someone rehashing the story about two pilots who flew f16 simulators from last month
Do Ukraine still have the airfields suitable for F16s?
In some cases they are launching & landing Sukhois from highways, not sure the F16 can handle the same 'runway' conditions?
No, the F-16 aren't suitable, but Ukraine is asking so hard for them that they must have a plan to do some upgrades if they get them.
This is one reason I think the Australian F-18s are a better fit as they have landing gear that can handle Ukrainian airfields and roads as is.
That's less of an aircraft and more of a road issue. Both Taiwan and Singapore have recently operated their F-16s from highways during exercises, so as long as the road is straight and long enough, the F-16 should be able to operate without issue.
The big issue will be the road surface. What sets the MiG-29 apart is its ability to close off the lower air intakes and draw in air for the engines from intakes on the top of the leading edges of the wings. Together with a "mud guard" mounted to the back of the nose landing gear, this allows the MiG-29 to operate from unprepared road or gravel strips. The F-16 requires a concrete or asphalt surface to operate, but once that's sorted, it doesn't matter if it's Runway 10 or the M-10 motorway...
Yes, these are a new arrival, and will probably be the last straw for Ukrainian resistance, but there was some reports of building's being heavily booby trapped with mines/bombs etc before being vacated by Ukrainian's, and after the Orcs had moved in, the bombs being triggered, causing massive explosions. But its surprising just how much activity can continue in bombed buildings and celler's after the dust settles.
Amazing.
“But its surprising just how much activity can continue in bombed buildings and celler's after the dust settles.”
One could see the Russians deploying FAE munitions in that scenario. The aerosol mix will penetrate into buildings and basements and detonate. A really unpleasant weapon.
Is that Borat?
There is an existence without all of the things you mention. Charlie. Its called Heaven. But until we get there, there's shades of badness throughout the World, and the only difference between them is the degree of "Badness". So you get Country's like Iran, North Korea, China, Syria and Russia. Of course the list doesn't end there. The US are on the spectrum too. But for pure evil, at the moment, Russia holds the record. 17 million Russians reside outside Russia, and this figure was before Putin's illegal war in Ukraine. Its so bad now in Russia, that Putin has stopped practically all outward emigration, especially military age individuals. On the other hand, the US has also built wall's, but to stop inward migration. Now guess why that is Charlie? Of course if/ when you've lived in Russia, and see how it works, you would be damn glad to move to the US, warts and all. Russia is in a masterclass all of its own when it comes to corruption. Its state sponsored in fact.

I know what the Russians can do, I saw it in Syria, where amongst other things, they used chemical weapons, but so far I have not heard of them using these munitions in Ukraine, maybe I'm wrong though? For sure, they had plenty of situations where these munitions could have been used. They are the scum of the earth, and no depths of depravity they will not stoop to.
In breaking news several hours ago the Russians announced that their T14 armata tank has been deployed in Ukraine,but has yet to see any action in any assault,
Am I wrong in thinking that this isn't the first time they announced their latest wonderwaffens have been deployed to Ukraine
I don’t know either for definite if they’ve used them JM. I wouldn’t put it past them to use them though if it came to it. If they could murder 600 in a theatre in Mariupol, they could do anything.
The purpose was to get the sabotage and observation spec ops teams over the river to cause havoc behind the Russian lines.
Something you do before you do any landings or get heavy weapons across
Was mentioned in use in Feb also if I remember correctly.
Ha, ha. Those secret Ukrainian bio weapon labs have finally struck a blow:
Sounds like they've managed to build another one. Wonder if this one has a working engine?
