re: Latest Updates: Russia-Ukraine Conflict

Go back over the last 9 months of Kremlin controlled Russian News One. Trump is mentioned fairly often by the Russkies

They have makeshift repair facilities set up in Ukraine for certain repairs, mostly the old Soviet systems that Ukrainian mechanics already know how to work on but they have to move locations every so often as to not be targeted by the Russians. A warehouse with 10-12 tanks or APCs in for repair is a prime target because not only do they destroy those machines but they most likely kill the valuable maintenance crews working on them too. Changing a howitzer barrel is not as simple as it might seem at first thought. Our M109 Paladin SPGs take about 40 hours to replace their barrels so it’s not something that is a field repair. The biggest pain in the arse is having to load them up on truck or rail and transport then hundreds of miles from the front. I feel for those guys on the line though. That’s some WW1 trench warfare except colder. Impossible to keep dry in that shite.

All the while giving Ukraine javelins and other high tech russian killing machines. If Trump and Putin were such good buddies then why did Putin wait until Biiden was in office to invade? I mean clearly hid good buddy Trump would have turned a blind eye if not outright supported the russian invasion of that evil nazi Ukrainian regeime right?

---

Trump didn't give javelins to Ukraine. He sold Ukraine javelins. He'd sell his left nut if the profit was nice.

So selling weapoons to Ukraine makes Trump a Putin supporter?

Honestly not sure why I am wasting time on this every bit and more has been chronicled in the thread already.

I grabbed about 20% of what I have posted re the Rs and Trump.

Some screen grabs

Some quotes I had from various clips:

quote:

---

Dmitry Abzalov, Director of the Center for Strategic Communications, noted: “Of course we depend on the U.S. elections. Anyone who is doubting that should take a look at today’s dominating news topics. Every field commander is reporting that they’re plugged into American elections, planning to watch them at night. Why would they need to watch if everything was decided over here?”

---

quote:

---

Solovyov described a video clip of Trump’s diatribe against President Joe Biden as the opinion of a “smart person who openly says everything that many Americans are thinking.”

---

quote:

---

Sidorov: “You’ve just shown Trump. Of course, I am a big aficionado of this former president. I even love his colors, the colors of the Republican party.”

---

quote:

---

Luzyanin: “After the midterm elections, we’ll see a glass jar full of poisonous American spiders, tearing each other up. Go ahead and eat one another! It will be a frightening political process... It may also lead to tactical or strategic changes in their foreign policy... Get lots of popcorn and let’s watch.”

---

quote:

---

Skabeeva: “There aren’t many chances that the magnitude of the funding will change, but an everyday Russian keeps on hoping and believing. They’ve never followed the midterm elections so closely... We trust and believe in the Republicans. Do we even have any other allies?”

---

quote:

---

Skabeeva: “How are our guys in America?”
Kornilov: “Our Republicans.”

---

quote:

---

Popov “Republican triumph or the tsunami did not materialize... Trump is already calling on Americans to protest ballot stuffing and not allowing his opponents to disrupt the elections.”

---

quote:

---

Skabeeva “Come out, Americans! You are being lied to!” Abzalov "It will be fun when the Republicans impeach President Joe Biden" Skabeeva “They will impeach but won’t be able to overthrow him. We’ve seen how it went down with our friend, our comrade Donald—and it happened more than once.”

---

quote:

---

Skabeeva: “We keep worrying about our guys, their results should have been better than this... Apparently, there will be no landslide victory for Republicans in Congress... Still, Donald Trump is planning to celebrate—it isn’t exactly clear what is there to celebrate.”

---

quote:

---

Skabeeva: “Things are difficult. Nonetheless, we have to win on our own—it’s official. Republicans can hardly help us to retain the Kherson region or the city of Kherson.”

---

quote:

---

Solovyov opines that the reason the withdrawal from Kherson was announced the day after the midterms was not to hep the Ds “[The withdrawal] was announced after Nov. 8, on Nov. 9, so it wouldn’t influence the U.S. elections.”

---

Really interesting info from @DefMon3 on twitter. He's been paying for high-level satellite imagery and analyzing it.

quote:

---

Russian forces continue to build defensive lines around Svatove. I have been able to identify over 50km of defensive lines north and south of Svatove and they are still expanding it.

---

He has lots of good photos and maps in the thread. As he points out, these defenses are not major obstacles in themselves, but they aid the Russian defense by slowing down any Ukrainian attack and forcing attacking forces into what could become a killing zone.

The ground will likely not freeze there for several more weeks, so Russia is trying to prepare as well as they can for the inevitable Ukrainian offensive.

There is a YT channel that does the same thing, one video he bought the images to determine how many tanks Russia had pulled out of their storage sites and how many were left.

---

I didn't assign that action to your question.

That post was intended to convey that selling weapons to Ukraine didn't necessarily make him a supporter of Ukraine.

quote:

---

The idea that Trump was somehow Putin’s pal or a supporter of Russia is preposterous and ridiculous. Simply a retarded notion

---

Again, tell that to Trump, because he is the one that says that.

quote:

---

Putin/Russia PERCEIVES Trump as an ally

---

Of course they do. And why wouldnt they? Trump wants to be Putin so bad he cant stand it. Whats really weird is when Trump waxes about how him and Vlad like to get peed on together they are so close and Vlad just lets him run on at the mouth.
