Ukrainian serviceman: Soldiers of the 30th brigade, which arrived near Bakhmut, simply run away at the sight of the enemy, since they have nothing to shoot with

Bakhmut is almost completely surrounded, it wont be long now. We are looking at the turning point in this war.

Great! Now we have the Biden take on this thread. You Biden PR team members provide a valuable service by letting us know just exactly what your heroes, Biden, Obama and Soros think about our conservative backlash.

because the 30th brigade was deployed without ammunition

In other words, conscripts, some as young as 16 and as old as 60, are being used as cannon fodder and fed into the Russian meat grinder.

Their 4 hour life expectancy on the frontline is now 2.

Alex Christoforou mentioned the 4 hours also.

Yes, he also has said the population of Ukraine has lost nearly 10 million people, down to 22 million (+/-). The Neocons have destroyed yet another country.

I think Col. MacGregor is on FR - and he stole my research which I posted a month ago! which is fine by me....

Re: Ukraine Population. Just take their own starting census data, last one from 2001. There are lots of scholarly articles which calculate outward migration of the last 20+ years, EU/Brussels research on birth rates, Estimated population of Crimea, Donbas, and estimates of refugees who fled both east and west at the start of the war.

20 million remaining in rump Ukraine should be quite an accurate estimate. Moreover, its a very skewed demographic - quite old. Young people have been leaving Ukraine for decades.

And yet, I hear they still managed to kill 10,000 Russian troops.

Macgregor has been infinitely more accurate than ANY of your sources or the Biden regime, whose propaganda you post here on regular basis.

The Biden regime and Deep State lie about everything else but are telling the truth about the war in Ukraine. That's what you want us to believe.

It might be a slow ‘turn’ however. Because Zelensky/US/NATO are itching to go nuclear with this, some believe Russia will move slowly and methodically instead of the blitz that would end it quickly. The slow ‘workman like’ pushing of the Ukrainians out of their path as they move through the east is meant to reduce ‘excuses’ for nuclear war coming from Zelensky’s handlers. That is to say sudden sweep might result in escalation on the side of the west, but slow creep is intended to provide the least excuse for Zelensky to resume calling for preemptive nuke strike.

Excellent research on your part. It’s pretty shocking what Vicky Neuland has done.

Maybe another 10 billion from the U.S. can correct that.

I can’t believe anyone on this site would post Russian propaganda like this. What has happened?

Right, like Mariupol was supposed to be the end of the Ukrainian army. I'm sure the Ukrainians are going to give up now that the Leopards are on the way

in the Chinese communist revolution, they had their main “8th Route Army,” but they also had militias, which joined in large offensives: “tu ba lu jun” - the “peasant” 8th Route Army

They couldn’t afford weapons, so their job was - follow directly behind the main soldiers, and collect the brass shell casings or anything else that could be re-used. When a soldier was shot, pick up his weapon, and keep going forward.

Maybe Ukraine is trying for something like this?

“Yes, he also has said the population of Ukraine has lost nearly 10 million people, down to 22 million (+/-). The Neocons have destroyed yet another country.”

I guess this came from the same sources that told you that Russia was wining. Look Ivan, Yuri, Valdimir or whatever your real name is. There are people on this site who are not that stupid.

So many naive or fake freepers here cheering on the massacre of Ukraine while pretending to support them. Stupidity really can’t be cured unfortunately
