its sarcasm ok. ultimately some links are allowed and some not but there is no defining reason for users to distinquish between what may or may not be linked. foxnews was posted in this thread, i should know since i posted a couple of them!

also no reason is given, all I (repeatedly) get is a copy of the site rules. no reason is given at the top (i.e. "trade spamming, i got that twice for meme'ing in a trade thread, but well it was quite funny) and no message is/was sent to clarify the reason.

So, actual updates about Ukraine:

1) More missile strikes, guess Russia is just getting rid of it's last 50 or 60 or so missiles. Any time now they will run out. The missiles continue to target electrical infrastructure. Before the last day's strikes, reports were that the grid was 30% 'degraded', which led to suspension of energy exports and rolling blackouts. What are we at, now? What if Russia decides to be as reckless as the Ukrainians and attack Ukraine's NPPs, which so far they've (thankfully) avoided? Reaching critical levels of destruction, here.

2) Kherson continues to see little more than recon in force probes by Ukraine, with them losing considerable numbers of troops and equipment daily with no ground taken. Russia has continued to fortify Kherson, evacuations tapered off and seems to be done (Ukraine did manage to slaughter a few civilians on their way out, as they seem to love doing, Good for them).

3) The line from Kherson towards Donetsk seems mostly to hold, but as we get closer to Donetsk the Russians (not the Ukrainians, ) have been making incremental gains, taking towns and high ground. The presence of the additional ~100k Russian forces is beginning to show the front not just stabilizing but a return to Russian initiative. Russians continue to take the outlying towns of important cities like Bakhmut and Avdeevka. Hopefully sometime soon the Ukrainians can be pushed from the areas from which they continually hotels and homes in Donetsk.

4) Most the Ukrainian moves seem to focus, still, on the Svatovo-Kreminna line, with the forces taking and retreating cyclically over the last few days. The Russians, as usual, seem to be inflicting much higher casualties than they receive, as they are much more willing to fall back than the Ukrainians, who seem intent on holding every empty, meaningless field they get ordered into.

Chinese Tech Giant Huawei is planning to Leave Russia. Look like they are finally leaving the boat.



Hmm lol. I guess everything you say in this topic is following this level of "truth" ...

"Partial" mobilization is over (however there were no special decree) and autumn conscription started with a month delay.

Source: RIA

Kherson has been a bloodbath for ukraine during the last 30 or so days

KD has been 1,5:1 -ish in favour of russia during the war

Last month has been probably closer to 4-6:1. This shit isn't sustainable, either they have to do a proper full head on push before mobilized troops saturate the lines or they should stop and dig in.



Conscription started late because all training-grounds were probably taken. Makes sense.

I don't think so, the ukrainians were interviewed, it was men and women soldiers and the way they were answering was super clear: they were looking so optimistic it was impossible to be a lie or a trollish failure like the one you are trying to do.

What is true is the ratio tho: 5:1 or something like that in favor of Ukrainians.

It's not good to count scores like this. Show some respect for all the deads. Even Russians, they are not all war crime savages after all. Some of them were just young and stupid.

interesting

Yes, it does and the lack of a decree implies that the mobilization will be continued.
Conscription ends on December, 31st and I assume that the new wave of "partial" mobilization will start right after New Year holidays, January, 9th or even earlier since there's a trend to cancel all the celebrations.

Found two awesome commentsfollowing an article regarding the destruction of some Russian Helicopters:
1/
If the power stays out this winter, at least the Ukranians can keep warm around the flaming wreckage of Russia's military hardware.
2/
Little Peter isn't a very good student of history (except for his own delusional revisionist selective version of it), bombing civilians has little effect on a military campaign, and in fact strengthens resolve. Furthermore, he didn't learn much about the collective power of the west's manufacturing capability, juxtaposed with russia not being able to even make a chip used in a toaster , and parts, machinery, machine-tools, and electronics cut off, and a huge percentage of the military budget skimmed off by Little Peter and his Mafioso oligarchs. You know you're living in a cesspool and failing terrorist state when you must resort to Iran and N.Korea for your high-tech weapons.

lol, whatever. How can you take anyone seriously who makes jokes about Ukrainians losing electricity heading into winter and talking for the umpteenth time about Russia's lack of chips on a day when 50+ missiles rain from the sky?

Just an attempt at message board attrition, at this point.
