BTW, about the incident where two tajik recruits killed more than a dozen and wounding ten makes me wonder if similar incidents will not happen once they are deployed in ukraine. Maybe it will be a "don't ask, don't tell" situation, where recruits kill commanders and other recruits before surrendering. putin truly believes he can get the EU to pocket the money for another gasduct going thru Istanbul. His latest threat being not renewing the deal to bring grains out of ukraine, I wonder if there is still grain left to export after four months. As time goes by russia starts to behave like a terrorist state, no one in his right mind can believe those iranian kamikaze drones are used for legitimate military targets. What becomes more clear every day is that the NEXT war will be fought between democracies and autocratic states; communism vs. capitalism is so 20th century. |

Aaaaaand a Su-34 just crashed into an apartment building in Yeysk.
Just when you thought they couldn't drop the ball any harder, the VVS just taps you on your shoulder and enjoins you to hold their vodka. ...Well, it's not Voyage of the Damned-levels of tomfoolery yet, but those guys are slowly getting there.

It is obvious by now putin is desperate to get a 3-6 months ceasefire and is trying to make this winter as shitty as possibly for the civilian population in Ukraine, hoping he can cause revolts against Kiev goverment.
The ones that must be most afraid such ceasefire happens should be the people of ... Kazahastan! putin does not want to appear weak and the first thing he will do if he gets a ceasefire is to invade said country to show "his people" his plan to raise the USSR from the grave is on track. Expect cErdogan to block Finland and Sweden NATO membership at the last minute. meanwhile ... Russian General Surovikin offers Elon Musk official political asylum in Russia https://twitter.com/S_V_Surovikin/st...22577127583744 p.s. This would greatly help the Ukranian army, it should be added to the help packages: https://mobile.twitter.com/TechAmazi...87486000439296 |

2) Ian Bremmer's claim that Musk personally told him is not credible and third party reporting of his claim does not make it reliable. Last edited by ramlaen; 2022-10-19 at 10:09. Reason: typo |

seems like the little bitch called putin wants to blow the dam at the Kakhovka hydroelectric plant once the russian army has left kherson. I hope the ukraine army can stop him, but seems improbable since it seems they have already place the explosives, hopefully this is all hearsay I heard.

There is also military movement in Belarus. Russian Bridging equipment moving in, and doctors and nurses being called to military offices.
That border however had been fortified since the Battle of Kyiv.

Interesting vid from Russia regarding Pukhov telling the reporters not to mention anything on the Iranian drones.

Remember when bush said there would be no war in Iraq? Remember when republicans said they would not remove abortion rights? Now we have:
https://edition.cnn.com/2022/10/22/p...ers/index.html Kevin McCarthy, who would likely be Speaker of the House in January if Republicans win in November, still supports US aid. But if Republicans win the House, he said there will be no more “blank check.” Mark my words, they have already decided to pull the plug and leave Ukraine dry like a raisin under the sun if they win in November. Of course, I will be surprised if no one comes and tell me how wrong I am, just like they did at the start of this very thread. |

Damn, Back then I should have made a thread about how trump would win the nomination for president from the repubs, but some people I know told me "no way, he is just a clown, he is just there to distract the news media from the real contenders" and they are not dumb people, but they were so wrong. There is plenty of buzz in the media about Belarus, but with russia sucking the good/troops equipment and probably sending garbage equipment/new untrained recruits, seems to me they want to force ukraine to attack them, since doing defense is their best chance of not getting pummeled in no time. So far shooting missiles from inside belarus hasn't being enough, so (hope to be wrong) Lukashenko might dirty his hands with a tactical nuke (he has already changed the laws to allow them inside belarus), so putin doesn't has to. Who would have thinked, crimea passes thru 45°0′N In other news, serbia has asked for iranian drones, no one is believing that those renamed kamikazes are made in russia, lol. |
