Popular Post LosLobo Posted September 10, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 10, 2022 A couple of interesting tweets from Julia Davis. In one the propagandists are now claiming that they are virtually fighting for peace. I have always thought that the concept was mutually exclusive. In the other they are arguing among themselves. Their military experts are telling them that Putin plans are failing. Obviously, the Ukrainian recent gains are starting to bite. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is my take: I suggest that Putin has not now enough trained troops or modern weapons to plug the leaks in his defences. He obviously has moved troops from Kharkiv to Kherson and this has left him vulnerable. The longer his leaves moving new forces to Ukraine he risks a winter and spring offensive, and we know how that went for him last time and also for Napoleon and Hitler. Waiting to next summer will be too late. He is going to get screwed and there will be only one outcome. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post placeholder Posted September 10, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 10, 2022 When it rains, it pours. And it looks like Ukraine is having a monsoon moment: Now comes word that the Russians have fled Izium, which is a very major city in Kharkiv and the staging post for Russian aggression in Donbas Russian Forces Flee as Ukraine Makes Rapid Eastern Push Thousands of Russian troops retreated in the face of a lightning Ukrainian offensive in the Kharkiv region that threatens to derail the Kremlin’s bid to cement control of Ukraine’s east. A local Moscow-backed official and pro-Russian military bloggers said Saturday that Moscow’s forces had pulled out of Izyum, a staging post for the campaign in Donbas, to avoid being encircled.... Daniil Bezsonov, first deputy minister of information for the Moscow-backed Donetsk People’s Republic in Donbas, said the Russian military had abandoned Izyum and some other localities in Kharkiv. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-09-10/russian-forces-flee-as-ukrainian-army-makes-swift-eastern-push 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Replace "shell" with "nuke" and you get the gist of what I'm thinking about. Not even Putin may be mad enough to nuke his own men, but he may be mad enough to nuke Ukraine once his men are out of the way. Lets hope not. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tgw Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 the northern Ruzzian front seems to have collapsed. https://www.ukrinform.net/rubric-ato/3568896-invaders-collaborators-fleeing-from-luhansk-region-toward-russia-regional-chief.html there seems to be some kind of news blackout, but there are Ruzzian social media posts saying Ruzzians are running from Svatove, and even from Luhansk too. I don't know if this is Ukrainian propaganda trying to amplify the rout or if these are genuine and Ukrainian troops are just being careful to not get hit by a Ruzzian counterattack. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Putin reeling as elite marine unit mutinies and troops prepare to 'surrender' in Kherson VLADIMIR PUTIN is facing a mutiny among his elite troops on the Kherson front after they sustained massive losses... It comes amid unconfirmed reports that Russian forces in Kherson city could be on the brink of surrendering. The Russian President has seen his army take a complete battering in recent days, as Ukraine continues its counteroffensive on two fronts. Kyiv's army has brushed aide all Russian resistance in the northeast as it continues its rapid advance in the Kharkiv region. https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/1667998/putin-news-russian-marines-mutiny-kherson-kharkiv-counter-ukraine-war-latest 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Bkk Brian Posted September 13, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 13, 2022 Ukraine Pulled Off a Masterstroke, Ukrainian leaders announced one counteroffensive against Russia—but had another in the works. This stunning Ukrainian advance was anything but sudden. It resulted from a patient military buildup, excellent operational security, and, maybe most important, the diversion of some of the Russian army’s most powerful units from Kharkiv Oblast itself. The overall planning by the Ukrainian government and armed forces worked well on so many levels that it produced one of the greatest military-strategy successes since 1945. https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2022/09/ukraine-russia-putin-kharkiv-kupyansk/671407/ 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
