Footage from a fierce ongoing battle around Vuhledar, southwest of Donetsk, shows Russian soldiers retreating after their five vehicles were hit by Ukrainian artillery.

The Russian troops were forced to run away and leave their wounded crawling behind them after being struck by airburst ammunition.

Russia is said to be planning a 'new pre-emptive strike' in Ukraine according to satellite photos which show Putin's forces building up fortifications.

The new offensive will reportedly take place ahead of the first anniversary of their invasion on February 24.

“Iran’s drone factories being obliterated tonight by Israel! LOL!”

At the moment Israeli drones are mounting multiple attacks against Iranian miliary facilities. But as far as destroying Iranian drone factory goes. I do not see this.

These Ukes are the schnitzel!

We could have used this sort of bravery in Europe in 1944.

Geezus....

How the hell can they be part of the Russian Federation “again”
————
Soviet Russia, then in 1991 when the Soviets fell, the rump state “ declared” independence, it was always a part of Russia. Russian is and always been the eastern half launguage.

Everyday is a great day for Putin. He’s been suffering from blood, stomach and thyroid cancer for almost a year and still is more actively than most 40 year olds.

For those outside the NATO propaganda bubble there is general agreement that

1) Russia is winning both in the Ukraine battlefield and the wider theater.

2) Time is on Russia’s side.

First the Ukraine battlefield. The first aim in war is to destroy the enemy’s power and that Russia is doing, especially in the Bakhmut slaughterhouse. Kiev is determined to stand and fight here and the Russians are quite happy to let them do so – “artillery conquers and infantry occupies” – and that is what we see here. Slowly slowly the Russian forces advance over mountains of Ukrainian bodies. In the last week or so Russian forces have begun to advance on other fronts too. This grinding away can continue until Ukraine collapses because it is easier for the Russians to let the enemy come to them than go after them. Meanwhile Russian missiles destroy the infrastructure Kiev needs to continue the war. Time and developments favor Russia and there is no incentive to make “big arrow” movements.

On the bigger war the sanctions that were supposed to have crushed Russia have boomeranged and we have headlines like “Inflation in Europe is falling but food prices are rising” and hypothermia deaths in England. Inflation is falling because demand is falling and demand is falling because businesses are stopping because of the price of fuel. Germany’s PMI is declining. No one (except the bubble dwellers in NATO) should be surprised – you sanctioned the biggest energy exporter, biggest grain exporter and a big exporter of potash, did you expect prices to go down? Everything needs energy and everybody needs food. NATO unity wobbles with Turkey, Sweden and Finland. Hungary officially notices the sufferings of Hungarians in Ukraine. Partitioning Ukraine was contemplated. Macron suspects the US is intentionally weakening its European allies. Did Washington just sucker Berlin into going first – when exactly will the Abrams get there? NATO is now breaking into its active stocks (Estonia joins Denmark in sending all its artillery). (And, not that anybody is asking, who blew up Nord Stream?) Riots and protests all over Europe. What’s happening in Kiev? The longer this goes on the weaker Russia’s enemies become. So in the big war, time and developments favor Russia and there is no incentive to make “big arrow” movements. Therefore Russia should keep doing what it’s doing and hold the big force in reserve – no reason to change anything – it’s attritting its enemies.

He’s just making it up. He’s full of crap and thinks people will buy it

“Soviet Russia, then in 1991 when the Soviets fell, the rump state “ declared” independence...”

And Russia was among the first to formally recognize Ukraine as an independent, sovereign nation. So your highlighted “declared” is misplaced.

But, that’s okay. Because the fact is Ukraine is a sovereign and independent nation that Russia recognized as such, even though it now seems to be walking that back.

How crazy will NATO get? Its strategy is a total failure. “Crippling sanctions” haven’t collapsed the Russian economy, overthrown Putin or made the population rise up. Just the opposite – when even the Economist has to admit Russia “did a lot better than expected” you know it’s actually thriving. The wonder weapons – Bayraktars, Javelins, M777s, HIMARS, Gepards, Patriots and now tanks – have done nothing but prolong Ukraine’s suffering and make Wagner and Akhmat Sila into the best urban fighters in the world. What next? Can NATO reverse itself? Can it survive another defeat? Or, as Larry wonders, drive straight into the Grand Canyon? What new lunacy will it come up with when the tanks fail?

So much losing in Iran tonight! LOL!

Reddit has a combat footage forum. Most of the content these days is Ukraine, there is also stuff back the U.S. Civil War.

NSFW. Content warning. Seriously, some of the content is disturbing.

We should have a separate forum for all the LGBTQXYZ threads. This place looks like gay/lez/trans central.

Thanks!

Yeah, the Wagner group recruits a lot in the Donboss.

But…don’t look now…you launched your last Iranian drone. I guess you will have to rely on that top notch NORK stuff to support your 500,000 Donboss Russians. Lol.
