Russia-Ukraine War (continuing)

Meanwhile in the real world, more orc refineries go bye-bye.

… delete … misfiring quote function!

the rate at which Russia is attacking is dropping off a cliff!!

so given they ‘now’ are ready to negotiate, it’s clear and obvious that they have little left to fight with.

any prerequisite for negotiations should be Russian withdrawal to pre 2022 borders, and that’s where they start.

Russia are on the ropes so now is the time to hit them hard.

The orcs are engaged in terrorism against the Germans. Germany must respond with the most sternest of action.

Trump should forget Greenland and buy Ukraine, Zelensky will gladly sell it if it meant peace. Then Trump can tell Putin to get off my lawn

Are they meant to be antidrone cages on the tanks? If so....dont think it's working

Tactically for the invaded the best policy is to only start taking back ground when it's certain that the invaders can not defend it with great resistance. Along with no learning from their mistakes, logistics and hardware shortages seem to be Russia's biggest problem.

I won't be surprised if occupied Ukrainian territory is ceded back by the simple surrender of starving and demoralised Russians whose choice becomes be starved or be shot by Putin.

bit of a moral dilemma. How could you drone a dirty Russian on a harmless donkey.

They've run out of Lada's 😏

Well … yeah. Of course Ukraine should capitulate - Russia has unlimited resources, unlimited manpower. Apparently.

"Warrior elite" isn't my term. It was a description by two Ukrainian journalists in a recent article they wrote explaining why the vast majority of Ukrainians are unwilling to fight this war as volunteers or conscripts.

They used the "warrior elite" term for Ukrainian activists, intellectuals, journalists and NGO workers who live in the wealthy urban centers, call for Ukraine to fight on until victory but often - while calling for mass mobilisation of others - seek exemptions from military service on medical or other grounds for themselves. It's these class of people which the US was funding to promote US/NATO narratives and extend US/NATO influence.

The vast burden of Ukrainian conscription falls upon men from poorer backgrounds, particularly from disadvantaged regions and villages. They cant afford the bribes and they don't have the connections the "warrior elite" can access. There has been brutal cases of terrible violence and torture being meted out to these men, both by the pressgangs in recruitment offices (at least two men were beaten to death by recruiters) and within their units, where unwilling conscripts can be subject to beatings and torture to force them to go to their deaths.

It does seem the ordinary Ukrainians are beginning to fight back against the press gangs. A UAF recruitment centre at Pavlograd was bombed on Sunday, and there was another explosion at a recruitment centre in Rivne on Saturday which killed 1 and injured others. On the same day, a Ukrainian pressgang which was dragging off another victim was attacked by a rifleman who killed one of the pressgang and rescued their victim. Unfortunately, the two men were later captured by Ukrainian authorities but at least they will both survive in a Ukrainian jail. Being sent to the frontline would have been a death sentence.

Mark Rutte Nato secretary general 3 weeks ago stated that Russia is producing 3 times more than all of Nato combined. Also due to lower wages, far lower energy prices and access to it's own reserves of most metals they are producing at a far lower cost also.

Also Zelensky in an interview with Piers Morgan updated his fatalities numbers. The last numbers were announced at the start of November with 43K KIA over the conflict.
