Lots of these "Russian Embassy" accounts around. I do like the "this is totally fake" -comments in this one. You don't say?
Parody accounts are more believable than the actual posts by Russian Embassies.
Good thread on the Russian defensive network in occupied southern Ukraine. The scale of what's been asked of Ukraine here is depressingly daunting.
just went to re-watch dash cam footage and count cars when they were leaving for a parade. Are you ready for numbers? Fcuk me, I even underestimated the approximate numbers when walking around there.
Now, I asuume we probably can remove about 15 cars that maybe (or maybe not) could have been just bypassers as not every car in that parade was decorated with flags. But you get an image. And now remember - each car had at least 2-3 passengers. So we are talking about what - 300 to 500 participants that took part in this pro-orc pro-putin pro-war sh1tshow.
And now for the contrast, this is the Free Russians Ireland group protesting against war at what it seems Stephens Green park entrance. Check the numbers there.
Just from a common sense perspective, those planning this offensive, NATO advisors included, would well know that Russia would be busy putting defensive fortifications together in the time it took to both supply new weapons to Ukraine and train their soldiers on them. They would know that because it's military strategy 101 (and they have aerial recon). Given that fact, would western countries be all that bothered supplying the amount of offensive weaponry reported if they didn't think there would be a return on the investment?
Commentators like prof. Michael Clark have predicted that a Ukrainian offensive would be one based on agility/mobility - fast armour and the like. How well this works, we may find out soon.
In any case, time for the Russians to build field fortifications is time for Ukraine to do likewise. We've seen how long it took Wagner to push through the fortifications at Bakhmut, so it's unlikely they'll pick up the pace if and when they secure that town, considering the defences allegedly in place in front of Kramatorsk and Slovyansk. If the Ukrainian offensive fails to gain any significant amount of ground, it'll be more stalemate, which is essentially what it is now anyway.
Some folk fall for these twitter accounts again and again. You'd think they'd learn eventually, but nope....
some folk fall for the pro-orc accounts again and again. You'd think they'd get sober eventually, but nope...
Your mistaken as usual Timmy, I have never previously made any statement about deporting dual citizen Russians who have Irish citizenship through naturalisation.
It's now officially victory Day in Moscow. Bakhmut hold's.
I'll be your huckleberry.
What kind of image would I be looking for?
From Google maps reviews.
Russian bombers heading towards ukraine again expect incoming airstrikes in the next while
Prigozhin vs kadyrov
It's starting to look like celebrity death match all of a sudden...
Place your bets
Just on the landscaping business and the reviews. If you're going to leave one, be honest. I don't know the owner or his quality of work but say the actual reason you're leaving a bad review.
Seems the owner is irish and probably didn't know what his van was being used for and hopefully will deal with issue himself. Its hard enough build a business without the negative reviews of standard of work. Say the real reason and it will put pressure on...
Happy victory day everybody!
Hmm putin or the likes might say ohhh wait were working on everywhere on the planet been victory day. So it gives them a few more hrs to do so as there not working on Moscow time but Baker island time, the last place on earth to go to the following day, lol. So he has a few more hrs.
Not me, so doesn't bother me ...
Putin not attending the parade in person: presumably why he's speaking at Red Square now? Or is it his "double" again?
Pity someone doesn't have a drone nearby....
That's good to see
I didn't know the salvage attempts to raise the Moskva had gone so catastrophically wrong........
If today is regarded as 'prazdnik' for vatniks then the creature attending parade on red square must be the double with nickname 'banketniy'.
If 20-30 missles and drones keep flying over ukraine they may very well may end up in a dangerous situation regarding air defense missles,they don't have an infinite supply
Got it out of the water at least.
That works both ways, do you think russians have infinite supply of misiles?
Russia is still producing missiles, albeit at a small rate versus their stockpiles.
But I don't think Ukraine can get defensive missiles for their Soviet era systems from alternative sources.
I'm not saying Ukraine are running low, but it must be a concern.
This is like a big Joe Joyce call-out but in text form lol. Who is this mystery fascist/rotten pro-orc supporter? I cant say I know of any pro-Russians who havent been threadbanned.
Now to another form of soapbox drama:
I take it back - either this is 4D informational warfare for the Kremlin or else (more likely) the man is an idiot.
Throwing the toys out the pram for more ammo, then announce its fine you'll stay, then kick off with the same crap a day or two later. Looks like he knows they will be grinded out soon - but then why didnt he leave when they had an out and let the Chechens take the brunt of the counter?
There is a lot of scrap in the list of Russian military equipment.
No Armata, and ONE T34. That is a change from normal May parades. They could not even gather 50 ish T34's ( well any decent number) to parade. They obviously are running out of tractors as well to tow the 3-5 Armata's they have when they break down
When this war ends late this year there will be scrap metal for sale. It will go through the floor. I always taught they would be a good bit out of the damaged military equipment in Ukraine but now I think Russia will be scrapping a sh!tload of old obsolete military equipment
Your wrong,
You do realize anything you don't agree with end up with you quoting the leak's, nobody except you,
I can't prove a point oh it's the Leak,
Ukraine do not have an infinite supply of air defense missles,this is a fact and nothing to do with any leaks ,
Maybe try a different tactic other than the leaks,the leaks,the leaks
The more I learn about Steven Segal the more I wonder how he managed to spoof his way into fame in the first place. His Saturday Night Live gig is the stuff of TV Infamy, and beyond a handful of notable roles in the early 90s his filmography resembles an M50 made entirely of car-crashes.
There's also a good deal of doubt of his martial arts abilites with several conflicting accounts. Stuntmen hate working with him because he's too thickheaded to know how to throw a stage punch (a convincing fake punch with little contact), meaning he actually punches his own cast repeatedly. He seems to have an over inflated view of himself with an ego about as fragile as Trump's.
I think Russia are welcome to just hold onto him for the foreseeable. He can scrape some Rubles together making pro-Putin slokk that will only ever get a showing in Russian cinemas, and when the place disintergrates into civil war, we can get to see how tough this bell-end really is.
They look like surveilance drones, but the Ukrainians are inventive...
