Putin runs scared from Ukrainian missiles and drones as his Black Sea Fleet is seen on satellite images retreating from Crimean port
Daily Mail ^ | 10/5/2023 | Will Stewart

Satellite images have shown how Vladimir Putin is running scared from Ukraine's assault on Crimea, revealing that the bulk of his Black Sea Fleet has performed a major retreat.

Russian warships were evacuated from Sevastopol some 237 miles to Novorossiysk on Russia's southern coast, in what British Defence Minister James Heappey called 'the functional defeat of the Black Sea Fleet'.

The exodus of around ten vessels came after Ukraine destroyed the Sevastopol headquarters of the Black Sea Fleet in a missile strike on September 22.

Good to see that Will Stewart is back from his mini-vacay with Volodymyr.

I'd post some vacay pictures of Will and Volod - but graphics of the Beast with Two Backs are frowned upon here.

Why cain't Volodymyr quit you, Will?

Need to get full mileage out of the Black Sea attacks. The French are still seething that Ukraine wasted six expensive SCALP missiles on an empty headquarters building.

Putin is a chicken for evacuating the remnants of his rust bucket “fleet” from Sevastopol to Novorossiysk.

What I find most humorous about the Black Sea fleet story is the way the Media is whistling past the future graveyards of the other major naval fleets.

Wait'll a Brit carrier group or a US carrier group encounters these "cheap drone" tactics.

The real mileage from the failures and fleeing of the Black Sea Fleet is that Ukraine is exporting from Odessa.

Unable to keep Snake Island, unable to keep their flagship afloat, unable to keep their dry docks from becoming shooting galleries, they've been forced to pull back.

That's the reality. The Russian blockade on Odessa has collapsed under pressure.

this is actually true, but nobody’s ships are safe anymore. Russia is actually fortunate as they rely very little on ships compared to other nations for their imports and exports.

Guess who does?

Maybe he’s pulling them back from an area that’s about to become uninhabitable.

"Ukrainian soldiers are being DRUGGED and forced to fight" Ex-CIA Larry Johnson | Redacted News

Former CIA analyst Larry Johnson: "If you go social media, you see row after row after row of Ukrainian flags fluttering after freshly dug graves. Thousands of them. You don't see that in Russia. So, right there, it tells you right away that the causalities are in Ukraine.

The average age of the soldiers fighting on the frontlines for Ukraine is over 40 years old. That means you might have one or two that are 17 and 18 but you have a lot more that are over the age of 40. That speaks to a manpower loss.

"To put the losses in context, right now it is estimated that Ukraine as lost over 500,000 men killed in action. During WW II, the British, the United Kingdom, it's entire killed in action in both Europe, Africa and the pacific, was 345,000. That was after six years of war."

Just a chess move.

Nothing, but propaganda. It is only a matter of time for Ukraine.
