I am no dumb millenial and have paid attention to Hinkle before this latest Putin adventure. The same goes for the Gray Zone all pro Castro Regime thus pro Russia. My decades long business experience allows me to see more geopolitical plays in action than you will likely ever see. Even some the experts on TV are unaware of.
*The intelligence apparatus that’s on TV.*
And what you’re doing is trying to argue from a position of authority. Which isn’t the right play here...which clearly you didn’t see, so I don’t buy it.
What you should be doing, like all of you who call everyone a Russian asset, especially those who debunk Western propaganda, is prove it.

Guess he won’t be posting scathing criticisms of the Russian war effort anymore.

Still arguing from authority and still not proving your claim.
I have plenty of experience dealing with people who are full of shite. You seem to be one.

Reminder, it’s now fricking August where people shouldn’t be looking that up until at least mid October. Yeah, of course it’s not going to happen. You people are fooling yourselves.
This energy stuff will not be easy. Of course the Russians are hoping the Europeans come to their senses and come back on bended knee. The solution is more windmills and solar panels right?

Daily report from Malcontent News
Northeast Donetsk
Elements of the 2nd Army Corps of the Luhansk People’s Republic (LNR) attempted to advance into Verkhnokamyanske and Hryhorivka using reconnaissance in force tactics and were unsuccessful.
Russian troops withdrew to previous defensive positions after failed attempts to advance on Ivano-Darivka, Vyimka, and Vesele.
Near Russian-occupied Lyman, Raihorodok was shelled, and Kramatorsk was attacked with rockets fired from Multiple Launch Rocket Systems (MLRS).
Bakhmut
Fighting for control of Soledar is in an operational pause. There are reliable reports that Private Military Company (PMC) Wagner Group is being rotated out of Soledar after suffering 50% casualty rates and being replaced by Russian airborne troops (VDV).
PMC Wagner continued attempts to advance on Yakovlivka and tried to capture the western half of Vershyna aided by airstrikes, but was unsuccessful.
LNR separatists with the 2nd Army Corps and PMC Wagner were able to advance into northeastern Bakhmut, reaching the industrial areas. Fighting for control continued.
In the Svitlodarsk bulge fighting for control of Kodema continued. Ukrainian forces likely withdrew from Zaitseve under cover of darkness. LNR separatists are attacking Dacha from three sides.
Southwest Donetsk – Zaporizhia
The 1st Army Corps of the Donetsk People’s Republic (DNR) continued its offensive to capture Pisky. Fighting continued, advancing further into the village. The situation for Ukrainian forces has become dire, with units holding the northern third of the village that was once home to 2,000.
Elements of the 1st Army Corps also attempted to advance on Avdiivka and Marinka but remained unsuccessful.
Kherson
Near Kherson, Ukrainian forces used precision munitions to strike the Kakhovsky Bridge in Nova Kakhovka, reducing the bridge to a single lane and only capable of supporting light vehicles. Satellite images showed that the Darivka bridge has been reopened to all traffic but reduced to a single lane.
Ukrainian forces reported three Russian command posts were destroyed: the command post for the Russian 49th Combined Arms Army (CAA) in Chervonyi Mayak, the 126th Separate Coastal Defense Brigade of the Russian Navy in Novokamianka, and the 76th Airborne Assault Division in Ishchenka.
The settlement of Barvinok, northwest of Kherson city, was recaptured by Russian forces.
Izyum
In Nova Kakhovka, it was confirmed that a HIMARS strike on August 11 destroyed the Kakhovsky Bridge over the Dnipro River at the Kakhovka dam. The railroad bridge is likely irreparable, and the road bridge can only support light vehicles.
Dnipropetrovsk
The village of Marivka on the Dnipro River was struck by over 80 Grad rockets fired by MLRS, targeting civilians and civilian infrastructure overnight. Thirteen people were killed and another 11 injured – seven critically.
Sumy
Dmytro Zhivytsky, Sumy Regional Administrative and Military Governor, reported Esman, Khotin, Mykolaivka, and Shalyhyne were shelled and hit by mortars. Mykolaivka hromada was hit by a Russian airstrike and 60 rockets that were fired from MLRS. Two airstrikes and 10 Grad rockets also hit Khotin. Pro-Russian social media account Rybar reports that Ukrainian forces shelled the Russian town of Sverdlikovo.
Chernihiv
In Chernihiv, the settlements of Hirs’k and Hai were shelled from across the international border. There were no casualties.
Daily Assessment
1. There are numerous reports that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation and their proxies are struggling to fill their ranks and replace troops lost in battle.
2. Professional mercenaries of PMC Wagner Group are refusing to fight with Russian penal units calling the soldiers under-trained, undisciplined, and ineffective.
3. Fighting in northeast Donetsk around Siversk is increasing, indicating that Russian military leaders are looking to secure the oblast before mud season or are trying to divert resources from Bakhmut and Soledar.

5 LNG terminals for Germany the end of the year. It's not like there were no floating terminals ready to lease. Finland's already done it. A Persian expat friend was offered a job by a Swedish company which owns three. It just wasn't enough money for him

Key Takeaways
Ukrainian forces are continuing efforts to disrupt Russian ground lines of communication (GLOCs) that support Russian forces on the right bank of the Dnipro River.
Russian forces may be reprioritizing efforts in northeastern Donetsk Oblast in order to draw Ukrainian attention away from the Southern Axis.
Russian forces conducted limited ground attacks northwest of Slovyansk, east of Siversk, and south and east of Bakhmut.
Russian forces conducted a limited ground assault north of Kharkiv City.
Russian and Ukrainian authorities accused each other of shelling the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant.
Russian authorities are failing to pay Russian reservists and members of volunteer units for service in Ukraine.
Russian-backed occupation authorities are likely dealing with internal challenges that are complicating efforts to administer occupation regimes and institute restoration projects in decimated areas of Donbas.

There are 25,000 estimated Russian troops in Kherson but I was mentioning that among those 25,000 are 3,000 elite Russian paratroopers. Taking them out of the equation would be a big hit to Russia’s battlefield experienced troops.

Interesting report about Russia's backward economy and how it NEEDS oil/gas exports to survive.
LINK
I could have told anyone something along these lines and have repeatedly on here for the last few months. Only the supposed "Man of International Business" seems to think that this doesn't matter.
Heck, even Saudi Arabia has diversified over the last few decades from being an oil pump to having bauxite mining to aluminum exports, steel exports, and definitely petrochemical exports. UAE has developed into a nice place for ship and offshore drilling rig repairs with its drydocks.

The people of Kershon want to be in the Russian federation. Are you against that? Why?
Posted on 8/13/22 at 9:55 pm to ThanosIsADemocrat
Most of the people in Kherson left months ago and want to return.

They were celebrating in the streets with fireworks when Russia invaded.

An old Chinese guy about 2.5 millennia ago said "When you surround an army, leave an outlet free". The cluster of the Russians trying to scurry back across the limited egress over the Dnipro is going to make their failed crossing of the Siversky Donets River 3 months ago look like a walk in the park.

I guess that is why they have been protesting the occupation nonstop for months.
