War in Ukraine

I can't get enough of this! I love that you since you've been outed as a paid/compromised foreign troll you think your troll tactic of deflection can work in any scenario. Bless your heart.

And Zerohedge? lol.
LMAO

I'm going to use the Ricky tactic. Prove someone is a paid compromised troll.

It must hurt when I get the best of you and your fellow trollbots.
 
The money laundering business is going quite well. Send another billion!


More wasted money. Remember these Ukrainian trolls said it was going to bring Russia to its knees lol.

Wouldn't be surprised if Zelensky eventually starts asking for troops.

Yeah you got me!! I'm devastated by your fourth tier troll efforts here! Not sure what "the ricky tactic" is though. Is that something in your Russian troll playbook that I missed to post weeks ago Comrade?

I'm a little surprised you aren't on here foamy mouth raging about those 3 commie POW's that Ukraine executed... Or do they really keep you that much in the dark in Russia?
 
Check out what Ukraine is able to do to Russian Trench troops now. These guys are dug in deeper than Alabama ticks, but get annihilated by either precision artillery (probably Excalibur shells) or loitering drones (possibly Phoenix Ghosts).

Combined with HIMARS, these abilities are exactly how Ukraine - slowly but surely - drives Russia backwards.

FWIW, 300 KIA Russians yesterday per Ukrainian MOD.

 
Russians are putting "anti radar" decoys around that bridge Ukraine has been pummeling...with GPS guided HIMARS. lol. Seems Russian war tactics and knowhow are stuck in the 1950's. I bet their "stealth" planes are just copies of old GI JOE toys.

Russian occupation officials may be accelerating their preparations for illegitimate pseudo-referenda on the Russian annexation of occupied Ukrainian territory. The Ukrainian Mayor of Melitopol, Zaporizhia Oblast, Ivan Fedorov, reported on August 7 that resistance among Ukrainian residents has forced Russian authorities to “constantly” change their plans for a referendum. Fedorov claimed that occupation authorities had planned a single day of voting but are now considering seven days of “voting from home” in which armed Russian military personnel will go house to house and “interview” Melitopol residents.[1] Fedorov claimed that only about 10% of the civilians remaining in Melitopol support Russia’s occupation and warned that Russian soldiers will threaten to shoot residents who do not vote for annexation.[2] Ukrainian Kherson Administration Advisor Sergey Khlan noted that occupation authorities have not fully set conditions for a referendum as of August 7 but are accelerating their preparation after a three-week pause in preparations, which Khlan attributed to Ukrainian HIMARS attacks on Russian occupation logistics.[3] Occupation authorities could also alter the timeline of their sham referenda in response to changing realities on the ground, including a Ukrainian counteroffensive. Khlan reported that the preliminary referendum date remains September 11.

By removing in-person voting options and transitioning to house-to-house surveys, Russian occupation authorities are increasing their opportunities to directly intimidate Ukrainian civilians. This effort is unnecessary to rig the vote to the outcome the Kremlin desires but does make any independent oversight of the vote nearly impossible. Occupation authorities may also turn these “surveys” into intelligence gathering operations to weed out Ukrainian opposition in occupied areas. Removing in-person polling stations removes many requirements for bureaucrats to staff those locations. Russian forces have struggled to recruit people into these positions from occupied populations. In-home voting also limits opportunities for partisan attacks on those locations.

The Kremlin may order different types of voting in different occupied locations depending on perceived local support, perceived risk of partisan attacks, and bureaucratic capacity. For example, the Ukrainian head of the Luhansk Oblast Civil-Military Administration, Serhiy Haidai, reported on August 7 that Russian occupation authorities in Luhansk Oblast have identified venues to host their sham annexation referendum in person.[4] Haidai reported that Russian occupation authorities are actively campaigning for annexation by distributing propagandist newspapers and tying the provision of humanitarian aid including food, water, and construction materials to participate in the pseudo-referendum. Haidai said that the practice amounts to blackmail: “we [the Russians] will help you [Ukrainian civilians] meet your basic needs, while you go to the ‘referendum.’ Otherwise, die, and we will fabricate the result without you.” Russia has occupied parts of Luhansk Oblast since 2014 and likely has greater capacity to mobilize collaborators to administer polling stations than in newly occupied areas. ISW reported on August 3 that occupation authorities in Donetsk Oblast may allow in-person and online participation, providing multiple levers for Russian officials to alter the results.[5]
 
Looks like CBS got into some trouble for factual reporting and told to take this down. I swear our mainstream media is a bunch of cowards.

Reading is your friend...

"Since that time, Ohman says delivery has improved. Additionally, the U.S. military has confirmed that defense attaché Brigadier General Garrick M. Harmon arrived in Kyiv in August for arms control and monitoring."

At this point, I gotta imagine most of the ruskies getting killed are guys that don’t want to be there and don’t know the truth of the situation, much like the Germans in WW2 that were told they were responding because Poland had attacked them.
