Aand have regained more land since then and continue to push Russian fascists out
Speaking of whom, here is one robbing his own wounded instead of helping him

Funding for Ukraine is now tied to funding for Israel
Several sages who made predictions in last week about the Israeli events being a negative for Ukraine now have egg on their faces.
A minority of republicans (majority wanted continue helping Ukraine) from the loony far right wing chose Ukraine funding as a hill they wanted to die on and nearly caused a shutdown, now they have been check mated, tho a few of those are too thick to realise that Israel is not an enemy they want to have.
Putin is one of the few leaders to have still not contacted Israel and offer condolences and his state media is gloating about the attacks
Putin made a mistake in starting this war, he made a second mistake in appearing weak during Wagner fiasco and how he went for trifecta of turning Israel against him
I know things can be measured in kms but in my opinion the more important measure is how much of the military machine that putin has built up is being destroyed by Ukraine's armed forces.
Russians have no where near the resources of the EU and USA never mind the other countries that have pledged to support Ukraine no mater how long it takes for them to free themselves from putin's attacks.
No idea what you mean by "z storm units". Is this a russian term for cannon fodder or people in the russian federation putin wants to see die anyway?
Who expected a rapid "Russia collapse"? It is natural for some commentators to be positive about Ukraine's chances of freeing themselves from putin's aggression but who honestly believed this would be a rapid process?
The offensive by Ukraine has made some progress and I posted a link above about some further movement in the south to help them narrow the land bridge putin has tried to build to help keep Crimea supplied. Longer range missiles being sent from the west mean Ukraine no longer needs to make so much progress in Kms in the south to have all of putin's land supply routes of everything west of Melitopol within strike range of the armed forces of Ukraine so while they will obviously try to protect their civilians from attack they now have a much better ability to cut off any troops that have dug in in the occupied territories and force them to withdraw or surrender due to lack of supplies.
Very much minor gains all well documented, we all know what Russian soldier are like we've been on here heading for year three , you've not bringing anything new
Nothing has changed there either,
Also the Russia hacking groups who helped Palestinians
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-10-09/cyberattacks-targeting-israel-are-on-the-rise-after-hamas-attack
alongside Russian “alliance” with Iran will now ensure that Russia has attached itself to a dead weight and will sink with them and ensure that Israelis will hunt down russians for decades to come
Yes a lot of Israelis have originally came from USSR but
Good luck to anyone in Israel trying to paint Russia as being anything but not indirectly responsible
I see Saudi Arabia has a tented city. Top class facilities, fully air conditioned and most lie idle for 11 months until the pilgrims arrive.
With Europe over capacity I'm sure they'll be lining up to take in Palestinian refugees who want sanctuary from the war.
Nothing like that will happen this year. The Ukrainians will do some localised attacks probably around Bakhmut to maybe gain a few km. But overall unexpect the winter to be Ukraine defending waves of russian attacks unless an opportunity develops.
Ukraine had to take the initiative this summer and try gain as much as possible. But at this stage they'll want to preserve their attacking force until western jet's arrive. At least when they resume large scale assaults they'll have the ability to prevent Russia from striking them with huge unguided bombs. That was costly for Ukraine during this counter attack.
Saw the casualties report on Euromaidan counts the one submarine lost as 17% of total submarines. How does that work exactly?
They had 5 submarines which each were 17 percent, so total 85 percent
The remaining 15 percent was a lad who could hold his breath under water under a bucket for half an hour
Russian navy
We don't talk about Mikhail.
😂😂😂
Welcome to mathematics ,
49 Russian submarines minus one = 17% of the entire submarine fleet,
Honestly it's like leaving cert question
I'm quite slow, don't get me wrong, but you're saying 1 is 17% of 49, do I have that right?
Possibly right percentages are not my strong point,
(1/49)x100 = 2.04%
The nearest I can figure is they missed the decimal point and took that one out of the current fleet of 58. That rounds down to 1.7% but it still doesn't sit right with me when it comes to accurate reporting.
The same Saudis have also started spending 500 billion to build a city of 9 million people
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neom
you can bet they won’t however employ or house their fellow Muslims
As for Russia their alliance with Iran will boomerang back to them
”””
There was also a sense of glee in Moscow over Israeli military and intelligence blunders, which were presented as a testament of western weakness.
“Apparently, the IDF leadership … is resting on the laurels of long-past victories,” military expert Boris Rozhin, who is close to the Russian forces fighting in Ukraine, wrote on Telegram.
“””
Yes Russia you know all about intelligence blunders and resting on Laurels of past victories
The Moskva is now also a submarine
Just checked the Wikipedia page on putin's black sea fleet and it lists another 6 submarines besides the one that was hit by a strike from Ukraine. One sixth is about 0.16666 and this rounds up to 17% as a percentage to the nearest full percentage number. Meanwhile more of putin's air force is getting destroyed in Ukraine with a Mi-8 reported as being shot down here:
Could Palestinians become stateless labourers? You don't have to take passports off them to stop them from leaving if they have nowhere to go back to. That's a popular game to play when you're building new cities and are happy to engage in the modern slave trade.
That works, those previous subs have just been left out by accident no doubt. Mystery solved!
Ukraine is now shooting more artillery per day than Russia with 5 million more cluster shells available in US stock piles
Russia continues to double down on stupid

Zero chance. Palestinians are Sunni's. Saudis are Shia. Been killing each other for millenia.
You thinking of Iranians who are Shia (and helping Hamas)
Saudis are very much Sunni
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religion_in_Saudi_Arabia
anyways
And how do you suggest they get there?
Easy. Their saviours Hamas will let them use their sophisticated tunnel system to exit Gaza into Egypt. Their Muslim brother's in Egypt Will take in some of them and the rest they can transport to their other Muslim brother's in Saudi who have good accommodation ready to go and no end to money as we can see with the Saudi league.
Or Maybe those speeches of support from their governments aren't token gestures and they want the buck to lie with good old racist Europe who hate immigrants so much.
Saudi Arabia made $326bn in 2022
And heading for 400 this year partly due to their agreements with Russia and this and Gaza war
There are 2 million people in Gaza, Saudis can take half of that (and bribe Egypt for passage) and house and provide employment (they are spending trillions of building desert cities) and welfare till end of their lives and barely put a dent in their profits
But that is going off on a tangent, the Axis of Evil and Stupidity between Russia, Hamas Isis, Iran and North Korea is a much more interesting and relevant subject
No it's acceptable not a peep out of their families even if they are fertiliser
