Things may be coming to a head in Kherson pretty soon if these reports prove true.
They probably know Ukraine is telling civilians to leave also. It makes sense that the less civilians, the better for Ukraine to bombard the occupying Russian forces. Bring in the artillery before charging straight on.

That’s it? You think capitulating to Putin because he has threatened nukes makes us safer?
How does that impact Putin’s future decision making? China? North Korea? Iran? You can’t be this simple minded.
We avoided a world war by giving Charlie Chaplin the Sudetenland. It works all the time.

BKR posted a link but basically (at least in Germany) the Catholics were afraid of also being persecuted as some priests were dying communion to SS persons. So the Church struck a deal that was basically we won't do anything against you so long as you don't do anything against us.

Either way the country is thrown into chaos. That is not the case with Ukraine.
Wait. So China threatening Taiwan with nukes without an active invasion throws Taiwan into chaos, but Russia threatening Ukraine with nukes during an active invasion does not throw Ukraine into chaos?

Bingo. I don’t understand how anyone would think appeasement of Russia’s land grab using force and nuclear threats would not embolden China into taking similar action.
Well if you've been following his logic
1) on board with US support because if Russia succeeded then China would invade Taiwan
2) after Russia stalled (which he believes has delayed the Taiwan invasion by at least 5 years), he wants to pull all US support because it could lead to nuclear war
3) somehow pulling all of our support will not only NOT embolden China to just deal with short term consequences but will also lessen the likelihood of China invading Taiwan long term.

Most things I've seen have been about bridge repairs and Kherson calling for evacuation. Haven't seen much coverage beyond that
ETA although this just got posted
quote:
The governor of the #Belgorod region reported the explosion of an ammunition depot.
"In the village of the Belgorod region, as a result of the shelling of the AFU, an ammunition depot exploded. According to preliminary data, there are no victims or injured," the governor said

Russian Governor in Kherson is calling for an evacuation of the city and help from Moscow in executing this evacuation
Apparently it's started as well
quote:
The Russian Government is reportedly beginning to “Evacuate Civilians” from the illegally annexed Kherson Region of Eastern Ukraine, these Civilians will be relocated to the Rostov Region and other areas near the Ukrainian Border.
These “Evacuations” were suggested by Kherson Occupational Authorities and are reportedly completely optional.

Next 24 hours Ukes are going to start another big offensive. Potentially “the big one” (Zap). Don’t ask me how I know I know.

Why do administrators disappear at the same time politics come over here?
it never fails. I see a bunch of new pages, think something has happened (especially today, as I heard of new bombings by Russia this morning). go to the thread and it's 8 pages of the same person making the same batshit insane, off-topic spam posts and calling names, despite being warned to avoid the thread all together, and normally sane people spending pages responding to it. every. single. time.

Slow day so far. The biggest development is that OML no longer believes the North Korea narrative, whatever that entails.

Conservation is how they have their reserve storage 95% full. This is not new but apparently to you it is.
Likely have 1 trillion cubic feet still in storage after winter is over. That is what is forecast by other than clueless media persons

Belarusian sources are saying Luka has ordered "covert" mobilization and that only rural communities will report first but not the larger cities. They are saying it could be to support the incoming Russian forces but have said if the call-ups reach 5,000 they could be forming a strike group or 10,000 or more multiple strike groups.

Four Russian attack helicopters were shot down by Ukrainian forces in 18 minutes yesterday, officials in Kyiv said.
The country’s general staff said the helicopters were attacked by missile units in southern Ukraine. They were all thought to be two-seat Ka-52s. It is unclear whether the crews ejected before they were shot down between 8.40am and 8.58am local time.
The helicopters were providing support for Russian troops. The general staff was seeking confirmation that another two Russian helicopters had been shot down about the same time. Ukraine says it has destroyed 234 Russian helicopters and 268 aircraft since the war began in February.

The political board can't get enough attention for them so they come here. So administrators stop them, some don't. Even though they are not very smart, they seem to know which administrators will allow their sewage here.

i mean we did get a 1st person view of a russian vs ukraine drone fight

we have regressed full fricking circle since WW1. Instead of drive by in planes with the pilot practically shooting out the equivelent of a window......we have fights between quadcopters. Things we would almost consider toys are not being used in the most hotly contested war in the last 30 years :rotflmao: :rotflmao:
oh and suicide drones are becoming more prevelant
