I would advise against it. From my experience in Ukraine, anywhere the Russians have been is a place that you do not want to visit for awhile. Especially since Kherson is close to the sea and within range of Russian submarine launched missiles.



That was a bit of an exaggeration. Once liberated, I'm sure that it will be closed for a while to all but residents and essential personnel. There's going to be a ton of cleanup, war-crimes investigative work, demining, etc.

I think Vladimir Solovyov is the host of that show and is an old-school hardliner. My favorite is when he went on an ironical tirade. When I first watched it I thought the captions were a joke but can catch just enough Russian to verify it on a careful second watch.


He's seems madder that his villa in Italy got burned down, he hasn't been made a governor of a colony, and that Putin isn't using nukes than anything else.

Xi is not supporting Putin. No weapons, no ammo, no chips, no real words of solidarity. Just a willingness to buy Russian energy at very discounted prices.

Personally I think they should blow up all the distilleries that are in any border cities. Minimal casualties and a lot of pissed off citizens.

How do you know that punch is not coming?


One of the nagging doubts about Kherson to me is with regards to mobility. UAF use of technicals and modded out vehicles to supplement BMP's has been note worthy.

In Kharkiv, they used Bushmaster's and the M113's for mobility and exploited the general Russian melee and confusion. Tactically astounding.

I'm wary because on surface it seems that they had to cobble all of this transport together.

That would trigger a nuclear response!

Love how Xi made Vlad come bend the knee and even wrote the script of his speech. Vlad is taking some some body shots and it couldnt happen to a nicer guy.

Yeah, it's one thing to land a big punch. It's another to have the means to sustain a follow-up.

And yet ANOTHER Putin insider dies, this one "suffocated"

Yahoo news article -

LINK

Another top ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin has died this week, this time of an alleged “stroke” while on a business trip in the village of Roshchino in Russia’s far east region.

Vladimir Nikolayevich Sungorkin, 68, was editor-in-chief of the Russian state newspaper, Komsomolskaya Pravda. According to the newspaper, Sungorkin died “suddenly” after showing signs of “suffocation” during the trip on Wednesday.

“It happened absolutely suddenly, nothing foreshadowed. We were in the village of Roshchino. We were driving, we were already making our way towards Khabarovsk, we planned to get there in the evening today, and from there to Moscow. All was good,” his colleague Leonid Zakharov, who had accompanied him on the business trip, wrote in a story for KP.

But Crimea and border towns like Belgorod are fair game.

After the strike on the dam, while regrouping I’d start hitting rail bridges and substations in border towns along border. You don’t have to bomb civilians to scare the frick out of them, especially if there’s a chance they may get trapped on wrong side of river.

It’s pretty amazing that people can theoretically take in the same data… but spit out wildly different conclusions

Thats an almost 2.5 hour video, maybe you could point us to the relevant part your referring to or provide cliff notes summarizing it. No one's going to watch a 2.5 hour video.
