The quality of this thread has gone down. It's almost not worth reading for the rare insights and news.
There's a lot of petty bickering and name calling.

Dont know what to think about the idea of them blowing the dam. I kind of doubt they would do it because it would inundate several populated areas and I don’t know what effect if any it would have on the Crimea canal but who knows.
Apparently massive evacuation of Xerson region is underway including civil authorities. Not sure what Z’s endgame is here as the soldiers are going to be massively outnumbered and surrounded. Could be really fricked up situation.

I agree. Page after page of whining and dumb arse arguing over asinine bullshite. Its frankly ghey.

If Z wanted to be like the Ukrainians they would hide behind the innocent civilians in Xerson. It is very great that the legitimate Russian civil authorities have ordered the evacuation of the area. Many lives will be saved which everyone should applaud.

It may end Russian civilisation as we know it, but not civilisation as a whole.
Y'all need to back away from the apocalyptic ledge y'all are living on. Russia would be lucky to get any nukes to hit a target in the lower 48 states.
As has been proven by this "military exercise", the world vastly over-estimated Russian military technology and prowess.
Holy shite. You really need to step out of the pro-Ukraine echo chamber long enough to allow some oxygen to fry to your brain. You’ve lost touch with reality.

Yes.
Now it's up to the mods to do their jobs and keep OML out of here. Whether that means permanently banned from the site is up to them. His frickery has gone on long enough.

What's yalls take on this
quote:In a summary, the news bite the Russians are promoting since last night is that Ukraine is planning to blow up the Kakhovka dam and flood the whole area below it, thus completely cutting off the Russian invader group from any supply.
Wouldn’t this negatively affect the hydroelectric plant there? It’s Russia trying to take out the Ukrainian electrical grid, so my lean is Russia is fos and the one who plans to blow the dam. That said idk the impacts to Crimea downstream.

Yea it would completely destroy the hydroelectric power plant. I doubt they would do it. Wouldn’t be worth it just to cut off the Russians on the right bank and it wouldn’t even do that as although I think the dam is one of if not the only overland supply lines in use right now they are also using ferries.

Russian state TV roundtable that gets heated. If anyone can't recognize the footage they showed that is pixelated on the YT video it is the grave that had two people in it (one still alive) and a soldier walked a third up the hill apparently shot them and they rolled done into the grave with the other two. RST is claiming the soldiers are Ukrainian and when this video hit all the outlets it was being claimed to be Russians. There was not enough info to geolocate so who knows? The "debate" is rather interesting with a few physical threats thrown in.
I love these videos. That was intense.

British Defence Intelligence
UPDATE ON UKRAINE 19 October 2022
INTELLIGENCE UPDATE
Eight months into the invasion, major elements of Russia's military leadership are increasingly dysfunctional. At the tactical level, there is almost certainly a worsening shortage of capable Russian junior officers to organise and lead newly mobilised reservists.
Eyewitness testimony suggests that the shooting of 11 Russian soldiers near Belgorod by a fellow recruit on 15 October 2022 occurred after an officer's abusive comments towards ethnic minority recruits. Poor lower-level leadership is likely worsening the low morale and poor unit cohesion in many parts of the Russian force.
Four of the five generals with direct operational command of elements of the invasion in February 2022 have now been dismissed. Their replacements have so far done little to improve Russia's battlefield performance. The lack of command continuity will likel more disruptive than in a Western military because under Russian doctrine the development of plans sits largely with the commander personally, rather than as a collective effort across a broader staff.

Logistics guru Trent Telenko unequivocally stated that Russia's invasion would fail due to lack of trucks and tires when most pundits expected Kiev to fall in days. He now says that Russia has cannibalized it's supply of railway bearings and can't make any more. Without rail transport, he predicts the Russian economy will implode in the winter of 2022-23 resulting in a humanitarian crisis and likely civil war. He urges western governments to develop contingencies based on that scenario.
Trent has some good insights about logistics, but he's also a nut and sometimes wildly overoptimistic about Ukraine immediate prospects. Just one example: when the Russians were defeated at Kyiv, he posted that the Ukrainian forces defending the city could suddenly sweep south and relieve Mariupol. That was quite obviously ridiculous. So, I follow him on Twitter because he's interesting, but I take what he says with a big grain of salt.
In other words, I'd bet that Russia's lack of railway bearings is going to be a problem for them, but I doubt it will be quite as catastrophic as he claims.

If the conflict were essentially frozen, and Ukraine had no other way to take Kherson, then maybe they would think about trying to blow up the dam. It would destroy a lot of the city, though, and Ukraine absolutely does not want to destroy its country.
Ukraine is about to take Kherson without blowing the dam, so the idea of blowing the dam is just stupid Russian propaganda.
Russia is in the very beginning stages of a full withdrawal from the west bank of the Dnipro. They are evacuating "civilians" (mostly collaborators and Russians that they brought in to do stuff like open branches of Russian banks, Russian postal workers, etc.), and the Russians are undoubtedly using this civilian evacuation to begin the evacuation of key military assets as well.

Watch Tulsi on Rogan
Seriously? Tulsi is just trying to get noticed with mumbo jumbo. I thought it was Big Oil ruling the world. or Big Grain, or Global Warming, or whatever the nutter dog whistle is of the week. This is all because a statement by Eisenhower is used out of context.
I get it now, you buy what the gun grabber, anti oil, anti pipeline, pro universal basic income gal says. It is whatever your feelings tell you not what the facts are.
