Mehmet Ali, you have written on many different topics without editing your own thoughts. That's why I couldn't understand your message. Sorry.
Usual deflection, characteristic of people who are not sincere. Actually my last post doesn't consist of any ideas , just the mere facts.

Guys, any new news regarding the Kherson front? I read reports indicating that the Ukrainian offensive has stalled near Mylove and the Ukrainians are suffering huge casualities

Is this true?
the latest I heard was that while UA was about to outflank the RU army in the Kherson region they realized that RU army was in fact was drawing them into a kill zone and thus would have annihilate them with a quick pincer movement on an open salient.
That’s why UA stopped the thrust at once and regrouped for another attempt.
I guess that’s where the stall comes from

Has Russian War effort in Ukraine lost steam

Has Russia begun to loose the war or CIA; MI6 manufactured news is misinforming us. There are two aspects which are very clear:

1. Russia is short on tactical military hardware; probably used most of it and asking for Iran to supply some very specialized items.

2. Russia is speeding up military recruitment of young people to fight the war (called Draft in US). That indicates that they are short on not only materials as mentioned above but also men to handle them.

These backgrounders do indicate that war is not going in favor of Russia at all.

Then comes the peace proposals which India and Turkey have mooted out (Watch out for Turkey). Winter is coming and the energy prices in the Europe have tripled already hence to save anymore pain it is better to listen to peace proposals i.e. any peace proposals, no matter who proposes them. The matter is in between Western Europe and Russia. Keep US out of all discussions because they are unaffected rather they are the gainers In this whole episode of death and destruction. Their status as the world‘s only power has further improved.

The goodwill relocation from Lyman and insignificant villages of Kherson are all part of my masterplan.

The Blyat-22 special military operation is happening as planned.
His imperial majesty let me, your unworthy and humble peasant, have the unmeasurable joy and honor of celebrating your birthday.
May the gracious Lord save and protect the Tsar!

Is there an extensive article on what the implications of this bridge attack are for the supply chain covering topics of food, fuel, medicine, basic necessities etc. for the civilians in Crimea? And also what does this spell for the logistics of the Russian Army? If you know any pieces, I would like to read it.

US ammunition supplies dwindle as Ukraine war drains stockpiles​


The United States will soon be unable to provide Ukraine with certain types of ammunition that are essential to Kyiv's battle against Russia's invasion, as supplies are being used up faster than they can be replaced.


Washington has become by far the largest supplier of arms to Ukraine since Russia launched the invasion on February 24, with more than $16.8 billion in military assistance provided since that date.
But US stockpiles of some equipment are "reaching the minimum levels needed for war plans and training," and restocking to pre-invasion levels could take years, Mark Cancian of the Center for Strategic and International Studies wrote in a recent analysis.
Washington is "learning lessons" from the conflict about ammunition needs in a great power war, which are "far greater" than expected, a US military official acknowledged on condition of anonymity.
American defense firms were forced to drastically reduce production in the 1990s as the United States slashed defense spending following the collapse of the Soviet Union, and their number fell dramatically, from dozens to single digits.
Now, the US government must convince the industry to reopen assembly lines and relaunch production of items such as Stinger anti-aircraft missiles, which have not been made since 2020.
Some US-provided equipment has become emblematic of the war in Ukraine, such as Javelin anti-tank weapons that were widely used by Kyiv's forces to blunt the Russian advance on the capital, and the Himars, a precision rocket system now playing a key role in counter-offensives against Moscow's troops in the east and south.

'No alternatives'​

But US stocks of ammunition for Himars -- which fires GPS-guided rockets known as GMLRS, with a range of more than 80 kilometers (50 miles) -- are dwindling.
"If the United States sent one-third of that inventory to Ukraine (as has been the case with Javelin and Stinger), Ukraine would receive 8,000 to 10,000 rockets. That inventory would likely last several months, but, when the inventory is exhausted, there are no alternatives," said Cancian, who previously worked on weapons procurement for the US government.

"Production is about 5,000 a year. Although the United States is working to increase that amount, and money has recently been allocated for that purpose, it will take years," he said, adding that older equipment could help fill the gap.

The United States has provided some 8,500 Javelin missiles to Kyiv, but production of a weapon that has become a symbol of Ukrainian resistance is only about 1,000 per year.

'As long as it takes'​

The US government ordered $350 million worth of the missiles in May, but it will again take several years before stockpiles are replenished.

The United States has also supplied more than 800,000 NATO standard 155 mm artillery shells to Kyiv -- three-quarters of the total amount delivered by all Western countries, according to official Pentagon statistics.

The amount of shells Washington has provided "is probably close to the limit that the United States is willing to give without risk to its own warfighting capabilities," Cancian said.

US production of these shells currently stands at 14,000 per month, but the Pentagon has announced that it aims to increase that figure to 36,000 within three years. That would still only bring annual production to 432,000 -- less than half of what has been provided to Ukraine in seven months.

And the US defense industry production is speeding up, Laura Cooper, a senior defense department official responsible for Russia and Ukraine, said Tuesday.

"The United States will continue to stand with the Ukrainian people and provide them with the security assistance they need to defend themselves for as long as it takes," she said.

The United States cannot simultaneously send weapons to Greece, Ukraine and Taiwan and enter a hybrid or direct war. They still haven't started a production mobilization. It's just a time that works against them. So take the with a pinch of salt US claim that we will go to war if the Russians use nuclear weapons or if China invades Taiwan. Because today, the USA does not have the strength to stand behind its claims.

Sure, but he will threaten for the 101 time and then do it and then its going to get interesting.
The Ukrainian state-affiliated twitter accounts are posting very provocative tweets. The government accounts openly ridicule and mocks the Russians after these attacks. It's like they're trying to force Putin to make that mistake.

The worst thing you can do is show respect to Russia, the worst thing. Erdogan constantly did this and Russians everytime screwed him. You treat the Russians exactly as their actions warrant them to be treated.

Every chance you get to humiliate them you take it without a second thought, its much safer that way.

The Crimean bridge was hit by Ukrainian missiles

1665259915942.png

Ukraine hit Crimean bridge with missiles, but Russia invents tales about truck - Zhdanov


According to him, the nature of the destruction indicates a synchronized missile strike.

The Russians lie about the fact that the Crimean bridge was destroyed by a truck explosion. In fact, it was a missile strike.

This opinion was expressed by military expert Oleg Zhdanov in an interview with Glavred.

According to him, the situation with the Crimean bridge should be analyzed in terms of destruction. Two spans of an automobile bridge were destroyed, and there was also a blow to a railway bridge.

"The question arises, who then blew up the railway train with fuel - the suicide bomber was driving and throwing grenades through the window? This is nonsense! Of course, Russia will tell the most incredible tales, to the point that green men from Mars are to blame for everything. Moscow simply does not can admit that Ukraine launched a missile attack on the Crimean bridge: for the Russian authorities, the recognition that it was Ukraine that destroyed this "Carthage" is on the verge of suicide. After all, many questions arise. Where was the vaunted Russian air defense? Where are the barges with mirrors and reflective corners? If all this happened, then nothing helped - a rocket flew in and destroyed the bridge, "Zhdanov said.

According to him, the Russians will hide the truth and will tell any stories in order not to admit the fact that it was a missile that arrived from Ukraine.

At the same time, Ukraine has not officially acknowledged involvement in the attacks on the Putin bridge. It is not yet known what exactly flew into the bridge. Although Zhdanov has no doubt that this is a missile attack.
