What? Coal and oil will solve their energy needs but clean nuclear won't? We need to start sanctioning Germany for all their pollution.

Perhaps the sheer number of c&o plants v nukes and the related costs to restart them was a factor.

FAFO. 

 

Allegedly removed minefields among other activities to kickoff the southern front. The only substantial Russian gains have come from Ukrainian treason not Russian military success. 

Fired his buddy, the head of the SBU, for not cleaning up the service.

Cynical me thinks it's actually because they're holding out hope that this will end and they'll go back to Russian natural gas.

^Morons, they bombed a truck carrying logs, and then claimed they destroyed HIMARS.

The best part is that they released the footage.

The shitflinger. There’s probably already a word for it in German. 

Scan some German porn sites, it will probably be in the first minute or two of dialogue on any given video.

Short of that, I tried google translate for flinger but there was no match. But it said that schleuderer is slinger and werfer is launcher. 
 

I think scheissewerfer sounds better than scheisseschleuderer.

@Schulz2.0 I’m surprised.  Is she too well-known for them to make an example of?

 

She'll get a show trial, get convicted, and go to prison for several years. I'm not sure anyone is too well known to get made an example of.

Unlike the NHL players, they can’t ship her off to fight in Ukraine.

How many of these guys will bail once they get to a battlefield that’s falling apart
 

Just remember nearly 500 of them combined with Syrians and armor failed dramatically trying to overrun 21 US Special Forces. And those were their better trained guys.

And some US Marines and a couple of USAF combat controllers.  US killed a lot of Russians that day.

From what I read, Russia sends them in to draw fire and expose Ukrainian positions. They probably don't care if some get loose and start raising hell.

I am kinda starting to get worried about all these "treason" dismissals.

 

not because it means there is corruption in Ukraine... there is, and has been for years.

UKr coruption is not a secret, but unless Zalensky has concrete proof these ministers/ambassadors/security chiefs were actively working with Russia against UKr, firing these folks just because they dont handle the idea of any communication with Russia being a  3rd rail  seems a bit too.... dictator-ish.

you need to have folks who can have SOME dialog with some levels of Russia at some point to get a real idea of what the fuck its going to take to end this shit..... or if it really is Russia saying (for real on the backend, not TV bluster) "we wont stop till you all die"  you can only get that info from inside backdoor channels from folks who have been forced for the last 8 years to at least partially deal with Russia

I am curious about how the frequency and duration of the RU artillery barrages has changed in the last few weeks.

 

We keep seeing the ammo dumps being hit and the cool fireballs, but anyone know how far this has limited their artillery itself?

Its fairly obvious that the rolling artillery backed advance has ground to a halt, but how much longer until they are unable to even do counter-battery fire?

The Russians basically just started driving ammo in from farther in the rear. It does slow down resupply, and in theory it also exposes them more, so we have seen some drops in artillery all across the line, instead, they're more focused now on attacking specific cities/areas in force. To counteract the HIMARS, they've brought up their own long range Tochka-U missiles with the specific orders to destroy HIMARS in counter-battery when detected. They've also started to take trips to Iran to buy up UAVs whch in theory can loiter around the rear looking for HIMARS to attack.

Welcome to the horrors of war. This is, unfortunately, normal. Even within the United States.

Agree and concerning about earlier actions taken against political parties.

I do think our media got ahead of themselves (like they often do) on the recent announcements. From Meduza:

Top Ukrainian officials not fired — yet: Ukraine’s Prosecutor General Iryna Venediktova and SBU Chief Ivan Bakanov haven’t been fired yet, the Kyiv Independent reported on Monday, citing President Volodymyr Zelensky’s Deputy Chief of Staff Andriy Smyrnov. According to Smyrnov, the two top officials have been suspended for the duration of investigations into law enforcement officials suspected of collaborating with Russian forces. Whether Zelensky decides to file motions with the Ukrainian Parliament to dismiss Venediktova and Bakanov will depend on the outcome of the investigations, Smyrnov said. 

 

I don't think the investigation is if they collaborated but rather if they did enough to investigate collaboration inside their organizations. Regardless, it looks like their is a process and it includes the parliament. 

Additionally, Bakanov is a childhood friend of Zelensky, so he is going after his own people too.

remember in the inital invasion the Russians dug into the  Chernobyl Red Forest region because they were using maps made in 1985- the year before Chernobyl melted down.

And since the USSR kept 99% of the Chernobyl shit secret to the rest of the country, and Russia barely talked about it after the USSR dissolved, the name Chernobyl doesnt mean shit to the average Russian from anywhere East of Moscow.  So the soldiers had no idea they were hanging out in contaminated soil.

Didn't we have a claim of a "tactical" landing earlier in the war?
