    I like Mark Sleboda's political analysis. But even he was dragged down by the English propaganda in the early days of the Syria war. And he was all skeptical and sketched out about it. He's acting the same way now. If he was triumphant , I'd have cause for concern.

    On the other hand , Scott Ritter believes everything is going to schedule and is going just fine.  He's a real military analyst. Mark isn't. Here is Mark and Scott. Fast forward toward the middle for Scotts segment

    Ritter says that this is a route , a complete annihilation.

    Honestly this guy needs to go

    I've defended this imbecile to no end, and even Ramzan kadyrov and the chechens are questioning this bs

    Shut up already. Stop having a hissy fit for fucks sakes.  You aren't military, you aren't government, and you would have fucked up way worst.

    So stop it. You are making yourself look stupid in front of people with real experience (not me).

    People like you have driven off actual vets here. You, and others like bitcoin.

    Calling the president, who actually took the risk, a midget cause he doesn't listen to your brilliant advice, makes you a dipshit.

    Shall I mention that it was Putin who defeated Chechnya during second chechen war and put them in their place? The same putin fighting this conflict?

    I wonder what kind of "general" you would be. I'm assuming you would have far more deaths under your command in something like Fallujha. In this one, I assume you would just indiscriminately start dropping bombs and kill everyone, right?

    AH, a typical rage filled response by mike!

    The Chechen leader also stated his disagreement and I assure you that man has seen more blood and knows better than your ASS EVER WILL. I find it amusing how you say it's Arks advice completely ignoring the fact a season commander said it. But sit there and talk like you understand, your just a fanboy blindly supporting Putin when his actions are doing harm to RUSSIAN SOLIDERS.

    The fact putin won that war and is acting like this is in the second is just an utter disgrace because HE KNOWS BETTER.

    The Western herd, trapped in a closed echo chamber, can think what they want, it makes zero difference. It would matter in a true democratic society where leaders needs to account for the public mood (where at least theoretically, western governments might be pushed into a military involvement if public mood was strong enough) but the West is at best a neoliberal capitalist oligarchy, where democracy is managed, where "leaders" are all cut from the same cloth and the adversarial governmental model is corrupted by both cheeks of the same arse adopting the same groupthink. Western regimes will do as they choose, and the public be damned.

    Let 'em howl. Let 'em rage. Let them fully realise their impotency, watch it sink in to their tiny little closed minds, them let them rage & howl some more... Twisted Evil

    The coupe de grace is limbering up, getting ready to go. Those who wondered what the Russians were up to are about to find out.

    First we had the convoy from the north, now estimated at 64km long






    Now a second massive column appears in Crimea

    I have a hypothetical question: What would happen, if Russia tried to use the Bosporus strait for its warships and Turkey attacked them? Would Turkey be able to use Article 5 of Nato (An Attack Against One...) or would Turkey be on its own officially, because it attacked first?

    I was against this war in the beggining and still am, and always will be

    I will never forgive Putin for this

    Maybe there wasn't another way out. With Zelensky expanding the army, inviting the Brits in to build a base in Odessa. The Americans too. And basically becoming an unofficial member of NATO. Then trying to introduce more forces into the Donbass. Shelling going on randomly. Tanks being pulled right to the edge of Lugansk to shoot at it periodically. And no pressure being applied on the Ukraine to implement Minsk.

    But only because of Putin, and his whole system, and the whole economy which he has built.
    If all that stuff was different, we wouldn't be in this situation, when we invade a neighboring nation. And yes a brother people, even if they're brainwashed out of it (and so are we).

    But in as far as the war is going, Putin is pursuing the correct strategy. The most important thing is to maintain discipline, and avoid civilian deaths. Encircling the enemy rather than torching them is the right strategy. Russian forces are trying to show the people that they're not the same as this Nazi filth.

    As for Mr. Kadyrov - he will say whatever the Kremlin itself asks of him. This is just a pressure tactic on Kiev, "to let loose the dogs of war" so to speak. I will assume that if the next round of negotiations do not bring success, then the Kadyrovites, along with the SSO and all the Spetsnaz units will be sent to flush out Kharkov at the very least. And they will do it rather quickly.

    So it's day 7-8, the Russian army has covered ground as big as the UK. And the president of Ukraine is rumored to have fled the country and is holled up in Poland.

    And people's conclusion to this is that the Russian military is losing.

    The double cauldrins that 10's of 1000's of Ukraine troops are being surrounded by , how many chances should they get to surrender ? I think maybe let starvation set in for awhile first. Give them a chance to think about it.

    There's a plan. It's top secret. All we know now is Russia has air supremacy over the whole country, including the west.

    No one is suggesting that Russia is losing

    The issue is the loss of men , which is happening due to an easy going approach by the military

    Losses are high enough, this is going off MOD numbers strictly

    It has nothing to do with western propaganda

    It has to do with the fact that soldiers died , when they didn't have to

    No matter how people want to cover it up, dress it up, or shape it up

    It is what it is, people lost their lives , trying to enter cities, hold positions, and maneuver by fire without the correct amount of pressure applied on the enemy

    I am not against the war, UKRs are not brotherly people

    They are enemy combatants who shoot at our forces and do not deserve mercy

    I give a shit about Ukraine or its people

    I have seen how they speak, if they are brainwashed I dont give a damn

    To hell with them all, the ones that are friendly are hiding 

    Everyone else is a nazi in my eyes and should have been hit hard 

    Rather pay money for reconstruction then lose 500 more guys

    A better question is if this operation is to save people from banderite terrorism, wouldn't one of the big priorities be destroying ukroshit artillery in donbass ASAP? Why is the russian military still allowing banderites to be in range of gorlovka and donetsk, when they can easily silence the artillery there, since they have tracked its movements for 8 years?It sucks that civilians are still dying in the DNR from casual ukro artillery strikes.

    I will have to agree with the analysis by Mercouris that westernmost Ukraine aka proper Banderastan may be like Idlib in Syria.
    Russia will squeeze out the Banderite paramilitaries and the leftovers from the Ukr army into this holding tank.

    It would be a massive wast of resources and effort to pacify Banderastan's heartland. Let them stew in their own shit.
    Securing the Polish border is meaningless since the western border of Zhytomir and Vinnitsa could serve the same purpose.
