It’s over. Russia got everything they wanted, and they only used the C-team.

The Russian Army continues with nearly daily assaults in the Bakhmut, Avdivika, and Marinka areas. The frontline remains unchanged. There has been a lot of huffing and puffing on the “tankie” (pro-Russian accounts that follow the war) about Russian gains in those areas. Here are the situation maps from today and two weeks ago via the Institute for the Study of War. Compare the front lines for yourself.

Kyiv Planning for Total Evacuation if It Loses Electricity
NY Times ^ | November 5, 2022 | Marc Santora and Ben Hubbard

Posted on 11/5/2022, 7:58:03 PM by McGruff

As they struggle to maintain an electricity grid heavily damaged by Russian missiles, officials in the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv, say they have begun planning for a once unthinkable possibility: a complete blackout that would require the evacuation of the city’s approximately three million remaining residents.

The situation is already so dire, with 40 percent of Ukraine’s energy infrastructure damaged or destroyed, that municipal workers are setting up 1,000 heating shelters that can double as bunkers while engineers try to fix bombed-out power stations without the needed equipment.

To try to keep the grid from failing altogether, Ukraine’s national energy utility said on Saturday that it would continue to impose rolling blackouts in seven regions.

How’s that 100,000 man mobilization coming along in Kyiv?

Found enough bodies roaming the streets to haul to the front yet?

Here’s an interesting question, relating to grain shipment protection:

What’s Turkey’s naval capacity in the Black Sea vs. Russia’s (or anybody else, for that matter)?

This given Russia’s losses so far.

Turkey seems extremely keen to keep those shipments going. I suspect they are very worried about further food price inflation & possible unrest.

This is included in your propaganda piece:

Chuck Pfarrer | @PotempkinBrain reports that on 25 OCT the Anarcho-Communist Combat Organization (#БОАК) claimed to have blown a rail section linking RU to Ukraine & Belarus. The act was audacious, but charge placement was amaturish.

So you are cheering on anarcho-Communists now!

Lie down with dogs, wake up with fleas.

Day 256 of my 3 day war. I have signed law allowing criminals to fight in war. Why should Kremlin be the only criminals involved?

I remain a master strategist.
