So does sitting by and not doing something to stop a larger conflict before it starts. Just ask Neville Chamberlain about those consequences.

Awwww why? Don’t like seeing pinko fails?

Personally, I find it hilarious. But seriously, good ole Ivan being the dumb little cucumber he has always been.

WWI getting shitted on the left and right.

WWII not enough guns and ammo, send men to follow their comrade and pick up his gun once dead.

Today?

Retards that are so fricking retarded they shoulder an RPG like an AK and proceed to rip their arm out of socket, if not worse

Never change, shite bird Ivan’s. Never change.

If this is a proxy war, and it is, I’m damn proud not to be on Iran and China’s side.

I'm on the side of not using my tax dollars to kill people who have zero impact on my life, controversial I know.

Also, from Gen. Ben Hodges:

Impressive growth of Army artillery ammunition from 8K/month, our training requirements, to 25K. We have the industrial capacity. Just need the political will to invest.

Did we win yet?

Key Takeaways:

Ukrainian forces continued counteroffensive operations on at least two sectors of the front on August 7.

Russian forces and occupation administrators continue to seek to mitigate the impact of recent Ukrainian strikes on logistics nodes along key Russian ground lines of communication (GLOCs) connecting occupied Crimea with occupied Kherson Oblast.

Russian opposition media outlet Verstka suggested that the Russian Investigative Committee and its head, Alexander Bastrykin, are directly involved in the forced deportation of Ukrainian children to Russia and the forced placement of Ukrainian children into Russian military training programs.

China's increasing misalignment with Russia on any settlement to end the war in Ukraine was reportedly evident at the talks in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia on August 5-6.

The Ukrainian delegation at the talks in Saudi Arabia presented a 10-point peace plan that reportedly included calls for global food security, nuclear safety, environmental security, humanitarian aid, and prisoner releases.

Ukrainian officials reported that Ukrainian and Russian forces conducted a prisoner-of-war (POW) exchange on August 7.

Russian forces conducted offensive operations along the Kupyansk-Svatove-Kreminna line, near Bakhmut, along the Avdiivka-Donetsk City line, along the Donetsk-Zaporizhia Oblast border, and in western Zaporizhia Oblast on August 7 and made advances in certain areas.

The Kremlin continues efforts to portray itself as adequately mobilizing the Russian defense industrial base (DIB) for a protracted war effort.

Russian occupation authorities continue to use maternity capital benefits to coerce Ukrainian civilians in occupied territories to accept Russian citizenship and increase social control in occupied areas.

China's increasing misalignment with Russia on any settlement to end the war in Ukraine was reportedly evident at the talks in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia on August 5-6. The Financial Times reported that the Chinese representatives at the meeting were “constructive” and “keen to show that [China] is not Russia.”[10] The Financial Times quoted one European diplomat present at the talks as saying that the “mere presence of China shows Russia is more and more isolated.”[11] The Chinese delegation reportedly indicated its willingness to attend the next meeting of a similar format that will likely also exclude Russia.[12] A Russian insider source alleged that Russia has rejected China's 12-point peace plan for the war in Ukraine from February 2023 (which the Chinese delegation re-introduced during the talks in Saudi Arabia) and that some Chinese elites are secretly expressing their dissatisfaction with the actions of the Russian leadership regarding a peaceful settlement of the war in Ukraine.[13] These reports from the talks in Saudi Arabia and insider allegations, if true, align with ISW’s previous assessments that China is not fully aligned with Russia on the issue of Ukraine and that Russia and China’s relationship is not a “no limits partnership” as the Kremlin desires.[14]

The Ukrainian delegation at the talks in Saudi Arabia presented a 10-point peace plan that reportedly included calls for global food security, nuclear safety, environmental security, humanitarian aid, and prisoner releases.[15] Ukrainian Presidential Administration Chief of Staff reported that all of the members of BRICS besides Russia – Brazil, India, China, and South Africa – attended the talks.[16] Russian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Maria Zakharova predictably responded to the Ukrainian peace plan, calling it a “meaningless ultimatum, which is aimed at protracting hostilities.”[17] Zakharova thereby repeated a longstanding Russian information operation that absurdly claims that Russia, unlike Ukraine, “has always been and will remain open to a diplomatic solution” to the war in Ukraine.[18]

Let us know the final numbers since it still has 14 hours to run at this point.

Since you want to use this source to strengthen the substance of your view of the war you should have no problem with their other posts? It's not like Twitter polls are open to manipulation, or that random screen captures make it easy to create a false perception, right?

I was not a liar. You are nekul'turnaya svin'ya, rasprostranyayushchaya lozh.' You posted lies about the grain silo explosion in turkey. Spend 5 minutes and download a VPN and see your telegram claims are lies!

Features of the translation?
I called the SECOND writer a liar here.
I asked you for your photos, which you personally took, on your camera or phone. And not downloaded from somewhere on the Internet. To make sure you were really there. You didn't provide a photo.
So while you have not provided a photo, I do not apologize that I misunderstood my words.
I already wrote about VPN. For the sake of one or two photos I will not do this.

I haven't seen these before, can you expand on how are either of the videos show Ukraine is receiving weapons via ships used in the grain deal?

---

There is no direct video of how weapons are transported on grain ships. there are documents and the return of grain ships and a ban on entering the ports of the Russian Federation, because traces of explosives were found on board.
After two attacks on the Crimean bridge from the sea, it was found from the wreckage of drones that they were launched from the ships of queens going along the grain corridor.

There were many videos when, after the bombing of ports on August 1, 2, ports in Izmail, Odessa, 5-7 large calls with secondary detonation were visible. I think you have already seen how grain dust explodes in American incidents. Remember how many secondary detonations were there? And at the same time 5 times in one night?

Now videos with explosions go hundreds per hour. The old ones are hard to find. Here's what came up on a short search.
This is a Russian bombing of ports with "grain" in Odessa and Izmail
