BRUSSELS (AP) — NATO on Monday began its long-planned annual nuclear exercises in northwestern Europe as tensions simmer over the war in Ukraine and President Vladimir Putin’s threat to use any means to defend Russian territo...
I thought that RU's mobilization meant that RU was going to resort to Leningrad WWII style of massive sacrifice of ground forces. But it looks to be worse than that. In Bakhmut, RU has been trying for two weeks now to retake the strategic town from UA. Wagner forces, backed by prisoners and Lohansk conscripts are basically engaging in WWI style trench warfare. RU dumps piles of artillery at UA forces and then tries to mount a frontal assault. UA forces repel the RU assault with RU forces sustaining very heavy casualties.
Like the renewed bombing of western Ukraine, this battle appears to be just for propaganda purposes. RU forces are in no shape to be able to use the capture of Bakhmut to be able to push UA forces back from gains made in the NW in Izyum and Lyman. At best, retaking Bakhmut ties up UA forces and might help slow UA's advance into Luhansk. But it also risks drying up supplies for the RU front and playing into the hands of UA's longstanding strategy of "corrosion" where UA forces take advantage of RU's poor supply chain and poorly trained forces to wear them down and then launch a swift attack to retake larges swathes of territory.
Other interesting developments, RU is increasing becoming reliant on weapons from Iran. Israel previously refused to provide UA with iron dome technology, but now appears to be providing weapons. Medvedev warned that Israeli relations would be destroyed if Israel provided weapons to Ukraine. But Israeli politicians are starting to pressure the government to come down strongly on the side of UA. The concern is that Iran is using the conflict to develop and perfect kamikaze drones that could be used against Israel.
Also, Putin announced that the mobilization will end in a few days. However, there have still been scenes from Moscow streets of draft age men being taken right off the street for military service.
But one of the most significant developments could be Putin possibly pressuring Belarus to join RU forces in a renewed assault on UA from the north. Belarus has been resisting being drawn into the conflict mainly because the mass protests of 2020-21 nearly toppled Lukashenko. Sending troops to Ukraine to fight for Putin would surely restart protests against Lukashenko that could easily turn violent if conscripts abandoned their posts and turned against the government instead of being sent to die in Ukraine.
What are you talking about. Your posts on the previous page are all still there. There's no conspiracy against you. Also the French protests on high prices are being reported in the news.
You don't see the four comments deleted in a row from this morning?
Probably racist or other stuff you've been banned for.

Poor dude has been stuck at 9,600 posts for a while now. He's probably posted 30,000 in the past 12 months, but they get deleted faster than he can plagiarize them.
No one in their right mind has any respect for Goldman Sachs after top corporate officers where actually crying and begging Warren Buffett and Berkshire ... to save them from ruin 14 years ago. Question is, why do you still have respect for anything that is stated by G.S?
That that one incident certainly destroys the possibility that GS could ever be right about anything. All that money they make is undoubtedly a mirage. Or perhaps just found money looking under sofa cushions.
Or to put it another way, if that is your one example as to why GS is wrong about everything, why would anyone have respect for anything you write?
I stated on this site about a week ago: Russia needs to take every 15 to 60 year old male in Ukraine and take them to reeducation camp in Russia. I stated there are no Ukrainian civilian males. Ukrainian males who pretend to be civilians are guerrillas. My goal is to end the blood shed. If Russia has to fight again and again over every square meter, it means more deaths, Russians and Ukrainians. You do want this to end, do you not? You do want the dying to stop do you not? In regard to recent Ukrainian deaths, I assume Ukrainian males may resist going to reeducation camp in Russia.
By what right would Russia take every Ukrainian male and reeducated them? And just what would the reeducation syllabus show? Would Russia have sole discretion to determine when the reeducation is successful? Does Russia get slave labor from these guerrillas in the meantime. And who does the work in Ukraine while all of these guerrillas are being educated?
And what is your basis for suggesting that every Ukrainian famer, car mechanic, doctor, chef, lawyer, trash hauler, miner, dishwasher repair technician and so on is a guerrilla?

Don’t waste such a brilliant idea on us. Maybe send an email to the Russian embassy with your reeducation camp proposal. They love hearing batshift stuff like that.
Conspirators and patsy's are also guilty, but who RUNS NATO? The shot caller has to get the FINAL blame. https://www.bitchute.com/channel/rt/ https://www.bitchute.com/channel/rtdocumentary/ https://odysee.com/@RT:fd https://w...
Posts of European people in the streets protesting NATO deleted yet again.
Too much for the snowflakes to handle it seems.
Go back to pretending the war is going great, US has not role in it, Russians are totally inept, Zelensky is a hero and all the other CIA BS
If you ask a leftist German if they'd rather save Ukraine or set their thermostat above 60 degrees this winter they will undoubtedly choose their own personal comfort.
The only reason people on this forum are so gung ho about the war is because it doesn't impact them personally in any way. And no your kid sitting around in Poland playing spades in the Army is not a personal sacrifice on your part.

Fortunately no one, except you and leftist Germans, gives a rip what leftist Germans think about thermostat settings.
You know who is “gung ho about the war”? Ukrainians. Millions of them seem willing to risk and give their lives to defend their country from a Russian invasion. Scumbags like you, Carmine and Lolly who come in here with your cheap cynicism trying to denigrate their incredible and brave efforts are truly disgusting people.
Is this from Russia Today? If so, it’s the very definition of state propaganda.
Don't listen to it.
Wouldn't want to expose yourself to anything other than the official state narrative.
Cuz they never lie to us
I listened to it. It’s basically Russian propagandists trying to justify Russian war crimes and hang on to the belief that Russia is somehow going control more territory in 2024 than they did in 2013.
Guy 1 - “Russia was killing 5 Ukrainians for every Russian soldier killed.” Yet Russian troops still had to “regroup” and give up 10,000 sq. km in Kharkiv and lose hundreds of tanks and hundreds of other armored vehicles. How do you reconcile those two statements?
I don't know why you guys keep feeding the Russian trolls? I can only guess it must be some kind of fun for you? I've asked some of these guys non-confrontational questions before and they don't respond. They only want to respond to confrontational posts. i.e. they just want to fight in cyber space. They have battle ship mouths and row boat @ss.

They're protesting the energy restrictions in the streets in Europe. There are plenty of people who value their own comfort over Ukrainian comfort.
There's dozens of wars going on right now with scumbags killing children and you don't give a damn about any of them because you haven't been told to by the media.
Cheerleading for Ukraine doesn't make you a good person.
