So much corruption there it makes me sick...can't believe someone who studied in Russia about their politics could ever be of benefit to understanding Russian disinformation

ISW on the situation North of Kharkiv
quote:
Russian forces continued efforts to prevent a further northward advance of the on-going Ukrainian counteroffensive around Kharkiv City on May 18. The Ukrainian General Staff stated that Ukrainian troops took control of Dementievka, about 10 kilometers south of Russian border, and that Russian forces are fighting in Ternova, 5 kilometers south of the Russian border.[26] Russian forces additionally shelled the northern part of Kharkiv City, indicating that they still have control of the highway to Belgorod in a manner than allows them to inflict artillery damage on the northern suburbs of Kharkiv despite pressure generated by the Ukrainian counteroffensive.[27] Russian troops north of Kharkiv City will likely continue to prioritize holding positions in Ukraine away from the international border at the expense of deploying additional reinforcements to Donbas.

She’s a corrupt embarrassment who is being fired from the Ministry of Truth.

So the board was dissolved...don't think that equals being fired as you put. You really are making a huge stretch here for there being something bad there

This is a nice timelapse video showing the changes in the front lines from the start of the war.

I wouldn't piss on that bitch if she was on fire, but she was more than qualified to work on Zelensky's campaign.
And frick Biden for even floating the idea of that shite she was nominated for.
That still doesn't change the fact Putin invaded a sovereign nation. '
The difference is I can detach my hatred of Biden from how Ukraine is being handled. Most adults can. Children can't.
I'll let the children in this thread figure out who they are.

Ukraine is finished with Donbas/Odessa going to the Russians. They realized this after the failed Kyiv seize. The goal now is to bleed them out economically instead of a total destruction of their government by force.
Maybe they should just quit in shame and refocus on another front like Russia has now done multiple times in this war.

Russia knows that over the coming years the US general public will grow tired of the endless money being supplied to Ukraine when we have more than enough problems going on at home.
Bruh we’re 80 years into spending endless money on wars - hot, cold, proxy, unjustified, justified and it ain’t mattered yet. Not to mention, and I cannot stress this enough, our govt dgaf what we think anyway.

How can you support the ministry of truth being Zelensky’s campaign manager, Hunter Biden being on the Burisma board, the rampant corruption, and dumping endless amounts of money into this country?
I don’t support any ministry of truth in the USA, I also wouldn’t give two shits if the Biden’s vanished from the face of the earth right now, hell, if they took the top Democratic’s with them the world would probably be a better place but that’s a pipe dream. What is real is Russia, the same Russia that just happened to be on the right side of history concerning the Second World War. I can’t understand why anyone over the age of 30 that was born and raised in this country would side with Russia, politics in our country be damned.

For some people (stidham and crew), siding with Russia, no matter how vile their actions, is easily defensible to stick it to Biden.
Tends to happen when you discard your humanity and go all in for your political team. Progressives are no different. Stidham and crew are just the right wing version of the progressives they rail against.
Horseshoe politics and such.

You can hate her politics and point of view and still acknowledge the above. shite like this is why no one takes you seriously.

Links to various maps of the war.
My favorite map source, but he only publishes updates about every 3 to 4 days and I don't have a host site to share.

Pretty good map
https://soar.earth/maps/12563?pos=49.19073916791526%2C36.1092026383407%2C8
Popular but I don't like this one.

On this one you have to go to the daily updates to see the map.

Has the Iron Dome system made its way into the field yet? I know Israel was sending them some units but I assume it’s going to take a little time to teach Ukrainian personnel how to use it. They have already all but halted Russia from using air power but they really need it to help stop the missiles Russia is using in place of aircraft. I was just curious if it was being used yet. That is a very good system that the Russian military would absolutely hate to deal with.

Where did you see Israel was sending it? AFAIK, Russia was successful in preventing it by threatening to cut Israel off from their access to hitting Hizbollah in Syria, although Lavrov's calling the Jews Nazis may have loosened that up.

Didn't know Israel was sending it to Ukraine.
I got to see it work up close and in person in Israel. We had to hold off our trip to Be'er Sheva when Gaza was lobbing missiles at the city. Great system, but surprised the IDF would be willing to part with it to send to Ukraine. It's highly coveted, effective, and also very expensive.

Those are some really good maps. I’ve only seen one before. Pretty dismal for Russia considering what their goals were. It’s possible Ukrainians could be knocking on Russias doorstep within a couple weeks. Big psychological blow to Russians if that happens. They’ve been pretty much routed north of Kharkiv.
