    Thanks for finding that. I'd seen it on TikTok but didn't have a link.

    Ukraine is a deep state money laundering state with an installed government. The 2 eastern areas that were "invaded" have been openly asking to go back with Russia and escape the rest of Ukraine for years. Much like the conservative counties of Cali and Oregon want to secede from the remainder of their controlled states.

    Putin gave these 2 provinces their independence so they could do what they want.

    When will you learn not to believe anything our deep state media says. They'd lie if the truth sounded bettter,

    If only you managed to get in some complaints about Nazi Jews you could have covered all of Russia’s made up talking points.

    Good read. Thanks for posting. Should Ukraine destroy their own fuel supplies so Russia doesn't get to them?

    Seems that the US releasing all that intel caused leadership to delay giving the go order and that delay consumed much of their supplies.


    We saw constant trains and movement over time moving Ru equipment and lots of aircraft being moved over to mustering points and at the end people. By then the supply was at its limit just keeping them warm and fed. They found out the hard way this was their logistical limit.

    9/What people sa wasn't that troops packed spare tanks for long drives. They were carying their fuel reserves on them. The few organic refueling trucks were not enough to make up an actual reserve or depot. They had one full compliment, some spares in one truck , thats it

    10/This didn't seem that crazy in the Kremlin because the prevailing thought in the higher echelons and Putin's inner circle and the FSB was one highly dismissive of Ukraine highly hyped up by Russian army propaganda reporting. They missed that they were buying their own bullshit

    There is not enough coffee to come close to making sense of this. But I'll bite.
    IF TRUE, why aren't Russian forces limiting their operation SPECIFICALLY to those regions "requesting help"?

    IF TRUE, why are they throughout the country and attacking the capital and other towns NOT in that region?

    IF TRUE, why are the people running to Poland and away from their "liberators"?

    Oh & Putin himself, who you apparently agree with, said his goal was to denazify Ukraine..the whole Ukraine. Which means toppling the government. LED BY A JEWISH MAN.

    Just...wow.

    Edit - I'll stop feeding him now

    From CNN live...oh look another "military" target.

    "
    One civilian killed in Kharkiv as apartment building hit by artillery fire
    From CNN's Tim Lister in Kyiv


    Ukraine’s State Emergency Service said a nine-story residential building in the eastern city of Kharkiv was hit by “enemy artillery” on Saturday night, killing one woman.

    The emergency service said the building was extensively damaged and about 80 people were rescued. Most had been sheltering in the basement. "

    Elon Musk received a request from Mykhailo Federov (Ukrainian but dont know if government?) for Starlink service to Ukraine. Tweeted that "Starlink service is now active. More terminals en route."

    I'd post the pic from Reddit but GC says it's too large.

    Ha! Another “brand new Gator” who joins just in time to spread Russian talking points. So weird.

    I think those “Russians” are going to have to find a new place to live after this is over. You know, like, Russia.

    For all those criticizing the approach of continually releasing info...

    The release of the information paralyzed them in terms of decision making. But the inherent bias remained and UA delayed mobilising so it didn't dissuade them. For 7 days they ate away supplies rather than actively trying to build them further, they were waiting a go order.

    12/The limited supply meant it had to be a mad dash. BTGs were split into smaller sub units traveling on multiple roads to avoid congestion. When they met something they'd wait to coalesce or get into a fight. If the UA was suprised it would work.

    Not a joke.

    Musk says Starlink active in Ukraine as Russian invasion disrupts internet

    This is great way to keep the info flowing

    Might also want to get him to have craft ready in case the space station has a "malfunction" as they were threatening.

    Supposedly there were talks about some of his ships being able to do the little corrections/adjustments th as t the Russian ships did periodically to raise the station back into correct orbit. May want those on standby.
