On topic,
Ukraine took parts of Rabotyno under control according to themselves. According to Russians, a huge amount of personel and vehicles are being amassed at Orekhov direction. Ukraine is possibly going all out to reach Tokmak and then towards Crimea. Russia is amassing troops at the northern front, a bit like sicilian defense in chess.


There's probably another month maybe two of weather where you can move effectively, afterwards activity is going to slow down. They're not getting to Tokmak this year at the current pace in my opinion. Who knows maybe they throw huge numbers in though.

Lol imaginary. NAFO isn't a thing, please ignore thousands of anti-Russian accounts on various social media, please ignore this 3k page thread filled with anti-Russian sentiment excitedly posting about any (however small) Russian fumbling. It's all a mirage, don't trust your lying eyes.

I asked you if it's not the millions of posts and many of these publics accounts with huge clout, who should we turn to for accurate representation of reality? You've yet to give me the reliable alternative that you'd suggest.


The real world is the reliable alternative. Its the same as with the culture wars of the internet on feminism, incels, wokeness etc. Listen to political scientists. Listen to mainstream media. Go out. And youll see that most people are sensible and what you see is the Twitter algorithm feeding your hunger for sensationalism (or getting offended by it). I didnt even know what NAFO was before this exchange... which kinda tells how irrelevant it is because i follow mainstream media.

I dont understand exactly what is it that makes you think this is so relevant? Like i literally dont. Iirc you denied being Russian... so wheres the problem? Even if you were Russian, if you dont support this war... then what is it that bothers you? That the Russians who support the war are ostracized? They have a police state they can find comfort within if Western ostracism makes them feel sad.

That being said, its probably miserable being an average Russian in Russia. You fear NATO but you fear your own state even more...

Lol don't listen to grass roots conversations that tell what the spirit and feel of the real conversations are, here is some curated MSM telling you what to think! This is what's important and a true representation of reality!

You're really ignorant of the shift of where true conversation is had, hint: it's not in the mainstream, that's why tens of millions are tuning out with rating collapsing.

Why are you so bothered that I shared what a prominent Polish account posted? We're having a conversation about Prigozhin and they exemplify what the typical anti-Russian online personality looks like. Which is essentially in this case was hoping Prigozhin would collapse Russia months ago with his coup and now are highlighting how he was loved by the people and hinting towards second coup. If you're bothered by this representation don't cry to me about it because I don't care. I don't support the war and i'm sharing an opinion, yet you're up at like 4am bothered about it :rofl:

You aren't the only one, i didnt know what NAFO exactly is before reading about it from a Putin supporter, in this topic, few days ago. :lol:

He was supposed to be a mediator in-between several factions (almost each one having its own army) and he failed the day this revolt/coup started.


He failed to mediate those differences the day Prigozhin tried to lead a coup. The survival of Prigozhin after the coup failed was trumpeted in Western media as proof of Putin's increasingly weak grip on power. The question is not whether the coup and aftermath was bad for Putin, it most assuredly was , it's a question of whether letting Prigozhin live was better than having him killed. Killing him was clearly the preferred outcome.
