Another terrible day for the losing orc military in Ukraine today 


40 Chechens are reported killed by a strike on the school they were using as their base in Kherson.


The one place the orcs were making a slight advance in Ukraine was Bakhmut....until today.They were forced back 2km in the eastern suburb ..it had taken them 2 months of fighting to take this 2km,and they lost it in 48 hours.


Three more orc KA-52 attack Helicopters were shot down today also

This is an interesting look at life under occupation in Kherson.

Another Ukrainian-Turkish-UN convoy of grain ships left Odesa this morning, breaking through Russia’s naval blockade of Ukraine for a second day in a row.
the Russian Black Sea Fleet is nowhere to be seen after the recent drone attack on Russian ships in Omega Bay in Crimea
Erdogan has called Putin’s bluff.

my wife's relatives in Crimea have been mobilized and are now in the war, they only mobilized those with past military experience, because there's no time to train them
military police entered each village in Crimea with a list of names, went door to door, rounded everyone up with no warning, and like that they were gone....
guys in their 40s, with kids, out of shape, and haven't been in the military in 20 years
are given garbage equipment, little food....
thye are given a special SIM card they put in their phones, only allowed to call immediate family, calls are monitored

meanwhile, Russian casualties are steeply mounting....
but Russians are well insulated from the TRUTH
if Alex Jones spoke Russian, he'd EASILY get a job on Russian TV
Disinformatse is the only informatse
control what the masses hear - and you control the masses

it's THAT freakin simple
even Rupublicans have figured it out...
masses = durrichki (fools) - and what doya do with fools? ya fool 'em!
horrosho? next question?

[Chelseaboy]

It seems that the orcs are retreating from the city of Kherson.


Video's and photo's show : Soldiers at roadblocks are gone.





Russian flags have been taken down from government buildings.


Apparently Orc defensive positions north of the city have been abandoned.

"Despite the fact that the enemy is trying to convince that he is leaving populated areas, and also that the effect of total evacuation is being created, we are monitoring the situation and see that this can be a cunning military maneuver..."

the battle of waterloo was won on the playing fields of Eaton
the war in Ukraine was won when the Russian wing of the republican party became the house majority after Nov 8 and cut-off all US funding to Ukraine (which is 90% of Ukraine's aid)

The war won't be won or lost in Ukraine..it's just the start.


Putler has openly said he plans to destroy democracy....



"This Ukraine crisis we're in right now,this is just the warmup "Navy adm.Charles A.Richard ,Commander of US Strategic Command "The big one is coming and it isn't going to be very long before we're going to get tested in ways we haven't been ..."


It does amuse me seeing people talking about finding a FSU wife  still....they have no idea what's coming.


The Four Horsemen are saddling up.

Thanks for that.

The article is much too long to hold my attention.

I've been  informed that the lend-lease act gave President Biden the power to supply Ukraine with military aid without additional authorization from the US Congress.

[Chelseaboy]

Massive build-up of Ukrainian troops happening in Kherson region at staging points.


Meanwhile mutinies are occurring at an increasing rate among the orc troops,the latest coming from Kazan mobiks on Friday.

[krimster2]

after your post, I read the lend-lease bill!
technically, you are correct...
but...

read this
http://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/maddowblog/marjorie-taylor-greene-gop-wont-give-ukraine-another-penny-rcna55649

will they fight for Putin, the way they fought for Trump?
I guess we're gonna find out soon...

[Chelseaboy]

She sounds like another full of hot air politician.


Clearly she doesn't understand how the lend-lease act works ,or is choosing to conveniently ignore the realities in her deceitful pursuit of power.


I notice there is no mention of the lend-lease in that article....i wonder why ? 


Actually,there are plenty of anti-Russian hawks in the Republican party who want to put a lot more pressure on Putler than he's getting now.

[Chelseaboy]

The elite orc corps of the Marines of the 155th Brigade are getting smashed at Pavlovka.


They've appealed to the orc higher-ups in the Russian MOD to save them as their losses are so huge.


Sladkov reports painful losses.and the appeal of the Marines from the 155th to the leadership of the MOD."Blood is pouring and pouring ".


Pro-Russian propogandists are reporting "extremely depressing news " about the situation of the 155th Brigade.


Huge shock waves going through Russia over this massacre.


Khodakovsky,Commander of the DPR pro-Russian "Vostok" Battalion, has come out and said he does not believe in the success of the military operation anymore.

Putin is winning his anti-democracy campaign in the USofA
If the GOP win, he wins.
If he wins, Ukraine loses.

The lend-lease will be in operation until the end of Biden's term as President....two years i believe ?


There is absolutely no concern among my USA contacts that the military support for Ukraine will dry up whilst Biden is President,regardless of who wins the mid-term elections.


I'm hearing today that Ukraine has established the production of 122mm and 152mm Artillery shells....something the orcs are now having to beg  North Korea for,among other things, because they're running out.


More good news for Ukraine today and bad news for the orcs.....NASAMS and Aspide air defence systems arrived in Ukraine.


Mass surrenders of orc mobiks around Svatove today.


There is a real fear,  Russian Telegram Channels  are reporting from the front, among the orcs that Ukraine is about to launch an offensive to take Belgorod...i can't see it happening myself but anything is possible.


As a little aside..not one HIMARS being used by Ukraine  has been hit by the orcs.

Further to this news the remnants of the 155th Marine Brigade  released a video today,showing three of them appealing for people at home to calm down as they're not done (yet).


They report that despite their losses they're holding the line ( impressive for an assault force lol ).

the argument "america first" is pure gaslighting
democrats offered to pay for everything from seized oligarch assets
(something I proposed)
WHAT? seizing oligarch's assets?  NYET, er NO!!!
how will they pay us?

meanwhile Kentucky put 20 million USD from a teacher's pension fund into Sber Bank...
Kentucky is home to Oleg Deripaska's Aluminum plant
the guy who was unsanctioned by Trump and was involved in Russian election interference in 2016

PS
it looks like Trump will announce his run for President in the next few days, and probably declare that he's already won the "election"

[Chelseaboy]

I think there is a reasonable argument that direct aid to Ukraine could be restricted to weapons, ammunition ,winter clothing,medical supplies etc only...i.e tangible things...rather than some of the financial aid that nobody can be sure is being used for it's intended purpose.


I do think aid to Ukraine from the USA will be reduced if the Republicans gain enough seats in the mid-term elections..probably just the lend-lease without the extra aid being currently sent.



This is Ukraine after all..one needs to be careful with financial aid over there.


A Ukrainian businessman in the Zaporizhzhia region has just been arrested  with his foreman for supplying Ukrainian aircraft engines to Russia during this war,from his factory.
A Ukrainian farmer has also just been arrested for Supplying Russians with grain and fertilizer from a non-occupied region.


So corruption and pro-Russian collaboration is still very much going on there.



I donate some money to UkraineAidOps,run by a guy from Estonia who does the deliveries in Ukraine to the front himself,which is now a registered charity in the USA and Ukraine,set up this year for getting supplies directly to the troops in the field.


Videos are shown with the charity volunteers handing over body armour,drones,night vision equipment,SUV's etc to Ukrainian troops at the front.


It's pretty moving seeing some of the Ukrainian troops clearly moved by the help they're getting when they receive it.


If you don't want to send cash you can buy needed items like winter clothing through Amazon and donate it to be delivered to the Ukrainian troops.


Personally i send smallish amounts through Paypal,as and when i can afford it...as things are getting tight economically in the UK.We've just been informed we're starting a two year recession now.


Their latest appeal is to raise $150k for medical aid for the troops,to cut the number of deaths in the field for the Ukrainian troops....almost $80k has been raised so far.


I also donate equally smallish amounts to a lady in Poland and  other people in Ukraine ,some helping the troops whilst others are helping civilians in desperate need of supplies....all verified by videos of troops/groups of civilians actually receiving what i've donated toward.


So i spread my help around.
