Dragging out 60-70 year old tanks and armor to use in battle, bribing convicts to go fight for you, forcing 300k citizens to go fight and arming them with maxi pads as medkits and ww1 rifles, resorting to North Korean and Iranian drones/weapons, over a month solid of retreating and abandoning weapons and armor for the Ukrainians to use, giving up more ground than you’re gaining, these are all signs of the great success Russias military is having 😂

Anything higher tech, requiring chips/computing power, they're going to have a hard time replenishing.

So all these businesses in Kherson refusing to take invading orc currency clearly haven’t heard how well the Ruble is doing this year 😂

Chechens helping the elderly and disabled in Zaporozhye. Also, notice him mentioning that the Chechens were the victims of two wars that were initiated by external influences.

"The fighters of the OMON "Akhmat" under the leadership of dear BROTHER, the commander of the unit Anzor Bisaev, joined the charity event "Do good with Aishat Kadyrova." They purchased and distributed humanitarian aid to needy residents of the city of Energodar, Zaporozhye region, including the sick and the disabled.

I want to emphasize that the fighters themselves wanted to become participants in this action and purchased an impressive cargo of food, multifunctional wheelchairs and much more with their own money. All this was handed out to the Cossacks by warriors from the Chechen Republic, who by their generous deed once again proved that they manage not only to fight on the front lines, but also to solve social issues.
⠀
For the local population, such a gesture of goodwill from the defenders of the Fatherland was a pleasant surprise. They say that they were immensely grateful to our soldiers for the fact of their liberation from the fascist yoke. Residents recall that from the side of the nationalists they saw only constant bullying, violence and humiliation.

The Chechens, as a people who survived two bloody wars, know firsthand about the difficult processes on the way to returning to peaceful life. At one time, we had to make a lot of efforts to get out of this situation. And today we are immensely glad that we can help others who are experiencing the same problems.
⠀
I express my sincere gratitude to dear BROTHER Anzor Bisaev and all the personnel of the OMON "Akhmat" for such a timely and meaningful gift! I am sure that while such defenders protect the peace of citizens, they are not afraid of any hardships."

"Completing the cleansing of the area, we must not forget about the people who lived here for most of their lives. The Chechen people are well aware of the hardships that military operations in combing the territory bear. At a time when our republic was flooded with international terrorists, all cities and villages were subjected to such special measures more than once. Remember those times and Chechen fighters. This is also why they are distinguished not only by their courage, but also by such excellent qualities as compassion and care.
⠀
On these frames you can see another round of the area controlled by our fighters. It is worth noting one important feature - in the areas supervised by the Chechen security forces, calm reigns almost all the time. Life goes on here. Endless shelling, inhuman abuse, kidnappings and starvation have ceased. For the local population, this is the best gift that they have been waiting for a long time.
⠀
The fighters complete the planned tour only after making sure that people have enough food and drink. In case of need or unforeseen situations, our warriors guarantee them all the appropriate assistance. To do this, we have all the opportunities and resources."

A "warm" gesture offered by the Russians. What do you tell the citizens when it appears that their own governments have no desire to bring heat in the winter, but those evil, barbaric Ruskies are able to provide it?

Russian initiative: free heating centers in EU with a warm cup of tea

The visitors will also be able to watch movies, and cartoons for children all while charging their phones and drinking a hot cup of tea free of charge.

The Director of Russian House in Brussels, Vera Bunina, stressed that the centers are open to everyone who, "values communication, mutual understanding, and warmth," without discrimination based on political views.

Some of yall better hope the democrats win the midterms so the US stays committed to funding an endless war with few stipulations. There needs to be a strategic vision and I'm not sure the current bunch in government has one. If I was European countries I'd get out of the way too with these current clowns in the WH.

It doesn't matter what happens in November. The GOP will not change direction, either.

Getting concerned about this Russian pullback in Kherson. Russians indicate it's to reshape their lines and prepare for potential Ukrainian assaults. But now there are reports that officers are being pulled back from their units. That usually results in very static Russian positions (Remember, they do not use their noncoms like we do. When they are without officer leadership they stop and hold until new officers arrive.) Also hearing reports that the new conscripts are already showing up on the front lines with little to no equipment or training. Wondering if this is the precursor to tactical nukes.

Putin could be clearing the zone of civilians and his combat leadership to then nuke the Ukranian front lines. He won't care about the conscripts. Some reports say the early draftees were heavily weighted from minority groups like the Tartars who the Russians wouldn't mind killing off.

Even Putin knows killing 20,000 civilians in one attack would be the end of him. So clear them out but hit the Ukrainians hard. It is now clear that Russia cannot win this war without increasing the infrastructure damage to the level the country breaks. Reports are that he is running out of conventional munitions. But all the experts say Putin knows he can't survive losing the war outright.

BTW, has anyone noticed the new flag patch showing up on Ukrainian soldiers? It's half the Ukrainian flag and half the
US flag. Nice little PR try there, but it's kind of true, their blood and our money.

You think Putin has been reading up on the siege of Stalingrad?

If Ukraine is winning, then why do we need to send troops to Romania? Ukraine has this wrapped up according to you guys.

I guess it should surprise no one here that despite you constantly pretending you're an expert on military operations and doctrine -you'd ask such a dumb question about force projection and reception.

We've always held joint training exercises with NATO, so it's not unusual for units to rotate periodically to Europe - ones beyond those stationed there. No doubt in the past year that's escalated some in numbers and duration, but I don't think you are looking at troops potentially committed to battle.

Make no mistake, deploying the 101st near the Ukrainian border is 100% related to the war, and is meant to send a clear message to Vlad.

If he does something stupid(er) e.g. nukes, he knows NATO and American forces will intercede and wipe the Russian army in Ukraine from the map.

I'd bet more on posturing than commitment for our units recently deployed to eastern Europe. Of course, we and NATO do have bases and supplies fairly close, but remember how long we took building up and getting everything ready to fight in Iraq. It was almost like the war was over before ground troops ever got involved.
