    That one on the pontoon bridge is probably going to be one of the nicer ones and it looks like hell. the guy filming it must of have his eardrums blown out, almost feel sorry for them, almost.

    all the russians telegram channels are in hysteria, Izyum could even be threatened.
    I wonder if we will see any russan commanders/generals heads in bag given by russan soldiers when surrendering to ukraine army (lets see if anyone will get a reference).

    But man right now its kinda pain to find a good source to comfirm what is happening and not just propaganda.
    Don't sweat the details!!!

    Seeing alot of Russian troops being captured videos. Alot of this stuff has NSFW shit in it so im not posting but it ain't going well for our Russian friends.

    Watched to pontoon one again but i cant tell if they are being shelled or if they got ambushed, lots of very fucked up Russians in the video. The guy filiming it is a Russian laying behind a truck who is screaming like his eardrums are gone, so probably a shell.

    One of the captured ones is pretty dark, theres a guy the are handcuffing next to a van that looks like its been shot 7000 times and then a dead guy falls out of the door who looks like he took at least 6000 of the bullets personally.

    some of these russians cunts look like those japanese fellas the kept finding on 30 years after ww2 finished :

    Yes, that is one of the forms of propaganda being fed to the gullible ruski population, that Ukraine was a threat to ruSSia.
    Their state TV propagandists have even said that Ukraine might have done a chemical terrorist attack on ruski fascists if not stopped.
    There is no bottom to the insane lies this rogue state is now willing to spread.

It's my read of the situation that he's scrambling to try to find just about anything to boost his domestic support with.
    It's my understanding that Erdogan cannot be re-elected himself anyway, due to limits imposed by the constitution, that obviously may not mean anything but it might be the reason why he's being a bitch.

    Didn't he already change it to make himself president for life?

    Seems the central electrical distribution centre in Belgorod (Russia) had a smoking accident, leaving half the city without power. What a shame.

    Oryx is struggling to keep up with the amount of Russian losses coming in from the recent counteroffensives. 76 vehicles and artillery pieces (and 1 plane) in just 1 update.

    I guess with trains not running, this lot are surplus to requirements and its cheaper to sent them off to de than to continue paying them.

    This is only from a Ukrainian source so far, so I'd want to see other sources first, but they are reporting Putin wants to meet Zelensky to discuss the completion of the 'special military operation.'

    They couldnt mobilize troops quickly enough in WW1 for that very reason as well. They had a minuscule length of track in total.
    Russian progress to still suffer from lack of trains, maintenance, tracks.
    But soon after Mr Xi secured a third term, Apple released a new version of the feature in China, limiting its scope. Now Chinese users of iPhones and other Apple devices are restricted to a 10-minute window when receiving files from people who are not listed as a contact. After 10 minutes, users can only receive files from contacts.
    Apple did not explain why the update was first introduced in China, but over the years, the tech giant has been criticised for appeasing Beijing.

    I don't think so, but it could be that you're right.

    That was putin. Erdogan is doing something different: His party is claiming that, because turkey reformed their constitution in 2017 to combine the rolls of PM and president, that this was actually only erdogan's first term in office as president. Just blatant corruption that no one can do anything about because the AKP have too much power.

    The latest ISW report states that Ukraine has captured around 400 square KM of territory in one day in its Kharkiv counteroffensive. Which just happens to be about the same amount of territory that Russia has taken in the last two months.

    And the offensive is still going. The Ukrainians are loose in the rear echelons of the Russian forces and are still pushing forward. There is a NSFW video of a Russian Grad MRLS launcher that had been ambushed by Ukrainian infantry. These things have 50km+ ranges and are meant to be far, far behind the frontline. They shouldn't be anywhere near enemy infantry unless something has gone badly wrong. Which in this case it has.

    According to a war veteran from an older war, hell is neither burning nor freezing, it's just cold and wet.

    Shalcker is very likely a bunch of people using the same account. Propaganda bots are hardly lone wolves.

    Nah he was just some vatnik idiot.

    Anytime you asked him about his sources it was the most garbage youtube channels and partisan opinion writers. Its like talking to someone who is into Qanon or fox news they are just suffering from an echo chamber and full on information pollution.

    As MASH once put it, paraphrasing, war is war and hell is hell, and war is worse because it's full of innocents and bystanders getting caught in the middle of it all.

    Yeah, hand-waving ethnic cleansing on the scale of hundreds of thousands of children seems to have been a step too far for the mods here from him, with how long he's been banned now.
