Everyone knows that SDV, why are you insistent upon just complaining?

Again, please show me where that has happened.

I think almost everyone, but obviously not all, understands that information from Twitter is suspect. If you have better sources for information, please share them.

Or, do you need things to be "confirmed" by the "fact checkers" so you know what to believe?

the Russians continue to look foolish in this war

The lack of a Russian NCO corps highlights how dysfunctional the coordination of their grand forces are when engaged in mounted and dismounted combat operations.

This thread if anyone questions all the bs twitter accounts that are posted None of the info from all these accounts has ever been confirmed

He’s denying reality. He can’t process it. Wow. Russian sources are confirming what is going on but our very own SDVTiger can’t process reality.

That’s the melt. Like the talking heads on Russian TV he is waiting for the Russian MOD to tell him what to say and think.

Wow.

Has there been any estimate about the size of Ukrainian’s forces in the Izyum region? I would hope they are at least a corps in size. They haven’t massed a lot guys this entire war but this is the time to do it while you have them on their heels pulling back. Ukraine keeps their actual battle ready forces very close to the vest. They have to put themselves on good ground for the start of winter. Holding a vital town and rail hub to the Russian supply lines would be a pretty good place to dig in at.

If Ukraine military is doing such a great job, why is nearly half the country under Russian control at this moment?

Where’d you get that estimate because you’re a fricking idiot. The last time I checked before the offensives started happening in the south and north they only held about 20% of Ukraine and that is including ground they already had since 2014 like Crimea. Now it’s more like 15%.

To the military guys: Can we somewhat assume the section north of the bulge and all the way to the border will soon be in the U's hands? It may depend on how transportation is just over the border in Russian, idk.

Unfortunately it’s nearly impossible to find completely unbiased sources of information. You just have to look at the all the information provided and kind of piece together what’s actually accurate. It’s what makes this war somewhat fascinating to keep up with in this age of technology.

Well, to be fair, this war is no different than wars from the past when it comes to difficulty in finding out facts. Propaganda has been a staple of all warring nations, including our own, for centuries. The only thing that’s changed is how easy it is to disseminate it.

Absolutely, but with the internet and twitter we’re able to obtain an almost play by play. That essentially compounds the issue of determining what’s propaganda and what’s accurate. Anyone can post something on the internet,but it takes much longer to verify that information. It’s an interesting evolution in war propaganda and reporting.

I agree with you; however, I much prefer to be able to view a variety of open sources and draw my own conclusions than have CNN, Fox, or the NY Times tell me what to think.

In past wars, we really only got the news the government wanted us to have.

Thanks for posting. Two of my uncles worked at that paper mill many years ago.
I actually helped open up the AutoZone in Camden back in the early 90's. Interviewed quite a few of the people that worked at a munition's plant in that area are that had been lay on and off and were looking for steady work. Having never been there, I was shocked when they told me they were making missile in that small town. Small world it is indeed.

I agree as well. It’s just an interesting evolution in war reporting that we’re witnessing in live time.
