Nice
By Russo speak, you have to translate the words and sentiments into what they actually mean. This is quite easy, and remarkably accurate, so in this case you simply take the opposite meaning of the spoken or written words, and you get this:' Russia is on its knees, and Ukraine is unscathed! and there you have it!
Not by Russian accounts. Apparently they're unscathed but the Ukrainians are on their knees.
Seems like bloody attritional war. Russian losses are heavy by all accounts
Ukraine managed to rig a hydrogen tank to a drone car (made from pieces of decommissioned electric cars) and blew it under a prominent russian firing position.
A good weekend for Ukraine in the war, some major high profile strikes. Nice
Has there been much happening in Vovchansk lately? I'd imagine the city is largely levelled at this point. News on that battle seems to have gone quiet.
Russians are receiving text messages from a number 117 calling them to sign a contract with the Ministry of Defence. It's being sent on all mobile networks. It's saying that they must sign a contract from the 1st of August that 800 thousand rubles and benefits are available straight away. It's telling them to call the same number 117.
It's no wonder russian posters on this site and elsewhere are getting antsy when they now see they themselves getting messages to follow the great dope Putin which they won't finish him and instead go and get a suicide drone up their ass in Ukraine.
Thats great news. The Ukrainians had to rush all their best troops to stop the Kharkiv offensive. Thats bad. But then they successfully stopped it. Thats good. And their absence from Donesk did not result in significant gains for Russia. Thats also good.
So cheer up, that Blogger is just trying to be neutral and he only wants a ceasefire and to prevent the loss of human life, much like yourself.
I suppose it can be a bit depressing that Ukraine have such a well oiled and responsive war machine that they are countering everything that Russia throw at them. Since we only want peace, its depressing that Ukraine is being so unreasonable that they wont let Russia win on the battlefield.
However, I think we can take some solace from the fact that Russia has made some peace gestures by scuttling one of its most advanced submarines and then setting fire to its oil reserves and munitions dumps around its forward airbases. Hopefully those Barnderrites will accept this gesture of goodwill and stop fighting so hard to prevent Russia winning and creating more peace than existed before the invasion began.
Can you provide a summary? Since telegram requires a phone number seems dodgy to be exposing phone number to Russian language channel
Never been to Russia or Ukraine??? Now that explains a lot! Because I've been to both, and believe me, a month or two in either place would change your attitude and opinion….change it a lot.

A 61 year old man set himself on fire on the second floor of a service center in Moscow on Friday. It's coming after recent previous incidents of people setting themselves on fire in public places in Moscow.
The alarm being Duran Duran - Ordinary World, tops that footage off.
Nobody gets the point of you repeating Russian lies and propaganda, but it does not stop you.
Mighty stuff
Are you talking about this? https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c4nggvg1yggo
Lol
Don't know why you're calling me a comrade
Oh please! Allow me to explain, comrade! You see, I been reading this thread and whenever I see your name, I know for a fact that I'm going to read an exemplary application of the ideas, principles and techniques described in this article. I mean maybe you are Irish. Maybe you are Russian. I don't know! One thing seems certain: you sure as hell seem to know your way around such techniques - dishearten your 'opponent's' resolve with a constant barrage of bad news, derail your 'adversary's' public discourse, the ever present 'maskirovka' "Russia is infinite; you don't stand a chance" and several other features that I noticed in your discourse… So yeah: maybe you are Irish; maybe you are Russian. You sound 100% Soviet.
amongst other slurs.
This is very interesting. And curious. The last time that I offended someone with the word comrade, that someone was a Russian… The most capitalist bastard you'll ever meet😆, but a Russian nonetheless… It's very interesting that you'd be offended by that word. Second, other than comrade, I'd like to know what 'other' words constitute a 'slur' or an offensive term. Please go ahead and quote me.
I'm from Dublin.
Well, that's something that you can say. However, the only thing that you can prove is that you are in Dublin. But then again, so is Yuri Filatov… 🤔🤨
Never been to Russia/ Ukraine
Oh come on… why not?… You'd feel right at home!! Well… at least in the occupied parts of Ukraine…
I don't really get the point of your post or the message you're trying to convey.
Yes, comrade… there's a lot that you don't understand… ignorance is bliss! That's another aspect that you have in common with the Russian peasantry… Have I told you that uncle Putin has a piece of paper which you can sign and then you make tons of 'money'?… Well, here's hoping that, unlike the Russian peasantry, you don't die ignorant.
Comrade is a slur? TIL
Don't know why you're calling me a comrade amongst other slurs.

I'm from Dublin. Never been to Russia/ Ukraine. I don't really get the point of your post or the message you're trying to convey.
Glad to see someone appreciates my contributions.
Ah… comrade, don't mistake entertainment for appreciation; they're not the same. And as far as your 'contributions' are concerned, I'm pretty sure most everyone in this forum would rather if you did take up one of those 80 openings in Africa and contributed over there in Africa. Think of it this way: the more gold you get for uncle Putin; the quicker Russia will win; the quicker there will be peace!
Sadly, nobody is paying
Oh really?… Well, glad so see Putin's war chest drying up! :D
but glad to take donations if anyone wants to send me money.
If you're strapped for cash I hear uncle Putin is dispensing thousands of rubles if you're willing to put your signature on a piece of paper… just like that, all your financial problems are gone!
Anyway, it seems nobody here apart from me is disheartened by the warfare in Ukraine.
Disheartened?… Nooo… Sad? Well, yes… Mad?… Oh yes! But more importantly everyone on this side of Europe has a high appreciation for Justice and is actually glad to see Europe weening itself off Siberia's tits and thus avoiding being slowly infected by the Kremlin's corruption. And if the cost of driving a stake thru that cancer is literally throwing money at the problem Ukrainians, well… let's say that there are those of us that are very happy with the outcome of Putin's decision.
I know! I know… You are very 'saddened' and 'disheartened' and 'disappointed'… We all in this forum know this. You see, that's a trait common to all 'comrades'. All comrades were caught by surprise by Russia's corruption's full extent! From my side? I have a cold 6 pack and a bag of chips. I'm all set! xD
PS: hum… interesting… so it seems you don't actually go away for the week… you just stay silent for a week. Monitoring Western Public Opinions are we?…
That sub they hit last year.... Boom, they finished her off.
He may have dragged the US back into 'normalcy'… as for respectability… maybe you should look into the man's career first… I think that if you peer into all of his wheelin' and dealin' throughout the years you'll very quickly loose the need to use words such as 'respectable'. Then again, we shouldn't expect much… he is after all a politician than operates in an environment where a bribe by any other name is not a bribe…
As for the MAGA movement; its leaders rate somewhere between weirdo and scum. Its followers are either grifters or in many cases, in financial distress.
I'm incredibly disheartened by it and I truly hope the Russians **** off home. For now I think the west should be helping Ukraine as much as possible to accelerate this.
Have you even admitted that Russia is committing genocide yet? You've pushed what amounts to propaganda but asked to clarify your view on basic facts and you run a mile.
Glad to see someone appreciates my contributions. Sadly, nobody is paying but glad to take donations if anyone wants to send me money.
LOL!… not really… You know @engineerws you're my favorite character in this whole forum! You're a sort of booster dose that keeps this forum's anti fascist reaction strong and healthy! But comrade I really hope you're doing all this of your own volition... Because if you're being paid to do this, comrade... you're in dire straits... It's only a matter of time until you get slapped with a performance review and then... of to Africa with you! I hear 80 new positions just opened down there...
PS: the 'comments' are the most amusing part of that article. For each and every single one of them the expression "the cope is strong with this one" fits like a glove. Statements like
"It is amazing that there are still no mutinies in Ukro army."
"but in the end the Russians will have to gain ground and a lot of it."
"Artificially propping up the Kiev regime is just getting more and more people killed. The conscripts are likely not interested in dying for this lost cause. Sad." xD
"I still think Ukraine will have to surrender before the US November voting and that will be messy"
"When Ukraine breaks it will be shattered. "
"This winter will be harsher than ever, as Russia recently launched a large-scale attack on Ukraine's electricity grid." ← yes… because it's impossible for two to play that game…
"I still think we end up with some papered over armistice, a Korea solution."
Every single one of these make me smile… 😈
I do wonder which of those are you… all in all, fun & amusement for all the family!
I don't agree. The Guardian comment pieces have been resolutely anti-Putin. It seems to me more like careless and lazy journalism rather that pro-Russian bias. I think our own lefties (Daly, Wallace and Higgins) are in a different league.
