Ukraine counter offensive

[Deleted member 174758]

Kim il Jung is helping out Putin with thousands of artillery shells

Reports also suggest that most of not all of Putins front line regiments are 40% down due to causal ties ??

And how will be get them to Ukraine? We are coming into winter and Russia has lost the use of it's main ice free ports in the west. China might well not co-operate in allowing the materials to transit across it's territory, given that the West is the msin customer base for their products. That leaves sea transport to Vladivostok then trans-shipment to rail and at least a 6 day rail journey ro Moscow, followed by 2 days to Belgorod. So maybe 14 days if Putin is lucky. Reckon they'll hold out that long?

Putins biggest worry / fear ?? Is masse internal dissent ??

That may well be coming, given that the normally tight lipped Tass has reported the defeats around Izyum in Russia

All credit to those who defended their country.

And credit to the UK armed forces who were training the Ukrainians how to do it since 2014.

Yes, cheer patriots everywhere. Especially the ones calling for the robust defence of these shores from alien hordes whose intentions are often malevolent. Defend you homeland - it's the only one you've got.

Gas bills down?

Yes I remember how petrol and diesel prices went back down after the gulf war ended... Oh wait......

Yes, cheer patriots everywhere.

A patriot is not the same thing as a racist fascist.

Putin's admitting losses so he can get bigger toys out, I fear.

The russian media are starting to openly question the war now, lots of footage appearing of politicians and pundits speaking out, which was unheard off a few months ago, it could be a ploy to either soften the population to scale back operations, or to call for full mobilisation ?
This is a clip from a tv programme.

that is my fear too, he won't go quietly with tail tucked between legs. He will almost certainly blow that nuclear power station up, and could very well nuke a few cities on his exit.

I dont think he will go. Might draw a line and say weve got what we wanted.

And he may well use bigger toys or use a power station as a point to stop !

 

[transam]

He will mobilise

Perhaps they should bring trump out of retirement to have a word with the bloke ??

Yes. Trump kept the tinpot dictators firmly in their boxes before he was defrauded of the presidency.

Only if you are Russian. You a Russkie, Ivan?

blow that nuclear power station

And hope that the wind blows west, i thought in Europe the wind mainly blows towards the East.

Until a couple of months ago, we all said, and wrote, Kiev.

Don't be brainwashed.

Why do you always take the Russian line? Are you some sort of old school coommie?

I have been informed that on October 1st the cost of gas is going up 58%, electricity going up 28% and heating oil is already 25% more expensive.
I am now obliged to contribute to a war i don't support, if having an alternative opinion makes someone a commie, then thats ok.
