I am sure Russia will have the war finally come home to them if Ukraine can reach the Moscow and St Petersburg region, do they have enough armaments to do it? I am sure Russia realizes their infrastructure will be attacked and have been stockpiling equipment and have been training their workers. Will the attacks on Russia give Putin his desired win in March? Does he really care otherwise?

The election will be rigged anyway, and any real opposition would be dead. I don't think Russia is prepared for anything including the results of this war, I didn't think Vlad would be stupid enough to start it and was pleasantly surprised at how incompetent and corrupt the Russians were. I don't think they are prepared for the Ukrainian response to an attack on their grid and they have the means to reach out and touch the Russians this year. A few million bucks buy a lot of suicide drones that can go the distance and they have demonstrated this capability.

If the Ukrainians had not endured such an attack before and are now better prepared than ever at all levels and expect a repeat, I wouldn't say they should do better than the Russians who have no experience and no friends to provide spares. Ukraine has been at war for nearly 2 years, in a visceral kind of way that the Russians have not and are adapted as a society to the war.

Fuck they have had the Wagner's and Kadyrov's doing the same previous to now.

“Our task is to chase back those lousy soldiers, when they start running away from artillery strikes,” a Chechen fighter told his wife, referring to Russian troops, according to a phone conversation intercepted by Ukrainian intelligence in late March.

The real role of pro-Russian Chechens in Ukraine

Known as Kadyrovtsy after their leader Ramzan Kadyrov, the fighters are said to be brutal and delusional.

Wagner, well we know what they did in Bakhmut.

It used to be for prisoners and punishment battalions but is now general practice with most of the troops. Also, the Russian army has begun recruiting prisoners directly, and snatching migrants off the streets too. They are having problems generating combat power in the field and manpower at home.

It's an interesting Chess game we have going on now. Supplies are going to get short again, ammo is going to be hard to get, (although I have enough to fight to the death), WWIII?... yeah, we're due. Rumors of drafting men AND women. I guess lets just get on with it. A Vet goes rogue and creates a diversion, retaliation strikes in Syria, a proxy war with Russia, tensions with Asia, and US ships parked on the coast of Gaza. This isn't going to turn out well. I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but shit is about to get real. Stock up.

A bunch of drone engines and two luxury cars in the middle of a war. Money was given for drone engines, but a couple of cars were included, corruption I'd say.

The guy in Maine just went nuts with a gun, happens every day in America.

Fight against who? Russia is on the ropes and near military collapse in Ukraine and China has HUGE internal economic problems and desperately needs trade and manufacturing is moving to their Asian tiger neighbors and our allies. Iran is largely isolated and in deep shit with Israel, as might Russia. There could be a regional war in the middle east, but I figure it will see limited US involvement, Israel can handle Hezbollah. If Israel racks up too high a civilian body count in Gaza there could be trouble for them on several fronts including war crimes indictments.

America stands with Israel but not genocide and war crimes.

The only war I can see that might involve US boots on the ground is one between Israel and Iran with Iraq as the battlefield, back to Iraq.

European allies are giving plenty in proportion to their economies. America spent trillions of dollars over many decades defending against Russia and Ukraine is destroying their conventional military power and collapsing their economy for a pittance in about 2 years. It's the geopolitical bargain of the century and will drive Russia out of the middle east and the Caucuses, maybe even Belarus too.

Vladimir Putin is NOT dead: Kremlin issues extraordinary denial

This comes after a Telegram channel, which has claimed for months the Russian leader had cancer and was terminally ill, announced that Putin had died.
www.dailymail.co.uk www.dailymail.co.uk


The full Telegram post read: 'Attention! There is currently an attempted coup in Russia!

'Russian President Vladimir Putin died this evening at his residence in Valdai.

'At 20.42 Moscow time, doctors stopped resuscitation and pronounced death.

'Now the doctors are blocked in the room with Putin's corpse, they are being held by members of the presidential security service on the personal orders of Dmitry Kochnev [director of the Federal Guard Service], who is in touch and receives instructions from the Secretary of the Security Council of the Russian Federation Nikolai Patrushev.

'Security for the president's double has been beefed up.

'Active negotiations are underway.

'Any attempt to pass off a double as the president after Putin's death is a coup.'

Nikolai Patrushev, 72, is secretary of Russia's powerful Security Council, and Putin's top intelligence advisor.

The Telegram channel has claimed he is in pole position to succeed the president but may wish power for his son, agriculture minister Dmitry Patrushev, 46.

The channel has claimed for months that Putin was ill and replaced by actors trained by the security services who underwent plastic surgery to look like the Russian leader.

The same theory has been espoused by Valery Solovey, a former professor at Moscow's prestigious Institute of International Relations, a training academy for spies and diplomats.

Unintended consequences, it will drive Ukraine and Israel closer and cut magats in America off at the knees and we might be seeing the result of that already with the statements of the new speaker on support for Ukraine.


US Navy SEAL Squadron Leader Explains Russia's Disaster

Chuck Pfarrer, former squadron leader of SEAL Team 6, has gone on record as to why Russia’s offensive is over, replaced by a permanent defensive, until it collapses. Meanwhile, Iran will continue to burn through proxy soldiers until it faces a massive defeat.

Pfarrer, a special correspondent for the Kyiv Post, who has advised the "full alphabet soup" of US national security agencies and is a leading figure in the analysis of the war in Ukraine, explains why Russian troops, despite the increase in the number of soldiers, are doomed to defeat. in Ukraine: No matter what Russia does, it is checkmated.

Iran, which thinks that it is outsmarting Israel and the West, by using Hamas and Hezbollah proxies, will only lead to their painful loss in the wars they have started.

Chuck Pfarrer is a former squadron leader of the US Navy SEAL Team Six. He has served public and private sector clients as a military and counter-terrorism contractor and non-proliferation expert.

This winter it looks like Ukraine might respond in kind, there was a big explosion at a Moscow thermal plant after an attack on one in Ukraine. Russia already tried that once and failed, making Ukraine better prepared this time around. If Ukraine hits the Russian European power grid all at once with hundreds of drones Russia will be screwed. They don't have the spares and outside help Ukraine does, or the system of AA defense, in general and around vital transformers in particular. Ukraine and the allies have been expecting this and preparing, Russia has not and is on the ropes militarily and economically, having the lights go out might drive them over the edge!
