Or, as a guy I know who specializes in Russian Poli Sci says... Trump was supposed to get re-elected, hobble NATO, and Putin would have no real resistance in taking Ukraine, Moldova, Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania... then focusing on Poland...
No one is surprised you associate with other lunatics.

INTELLIGENCE UPDATE
UPDATE ON UKRAINE 18 July 2024
The Russian government has initiated further restrictions on the use of digital telecommunications in Russia. On 12 July 2024, Russian State Duma Deputy Anton Nemkin stated in an interview that Russian authorities had begun to slow down traffic on the encrypted messaging app WhatsApp. The public explanation is to limit the ability of extremist groups to communicate. Under Russian government definitions this likely also includes constraining the ability of opposition activists and those opposed to the war in Ukraine to organise and communicate.
Separately on 12 July 2024, Russian independent media reported that disruption to the YouTube online video platform was due to deliberate slowdowns in traffic by the Russian government. The Presidential Administration is reportedly likely to block YouTube altogether in September 2024. YouTube is relatively popular in Russia, and has been used by opposition activists, most notably the late Alexei Navalny, to disseminate criticism of the Russian government.
As with recent proscription of independent media organisations, and the restriction of other secure communication means these measures represent an acceleration in the long-standing trend increasing government control over access to media and information in Russia. These restrictions in access to social media platforms are likely designed to ensure that the Russian population are only able to access media that conforms to government-controlled narratives. By restricting more secure means of private communication, government surveillance of potential dissenters will be easier, and will create a climate of fear and self-censorship among those who might be critical of the regime.

Ukraine's Security Service drones hit Russian coastguard base on Donuzlav lake in Crimea – source in SSU – video
OLEKSANDR SHUMILIN, VALENTYNA ROMANENKO — Thursday, 18 July 2024, 14:03
Maritime and air drones of the Security Service of Ukraine (SSU) hit the Russian coastguard base on Donuzlav lake in Crimea.
Source: Sources of Ukrainska Pravda in SSU
Details: It is reported that Ukrainian drones hit and disabled the headquarters, a command post, an ammunition and equipment depot, a power substation, technical facilities and Russian firing positions.
The source also said that last night, the Russian Navy tried to conduct exercises to protect the waters of Donuzlav lake, but thanks to Ukrainian drones, these exercises "failed, because the Russians could not even protect their base, not to mention the lake’s waters."

REUTERS - Ukraine is set to begin receiving large shipments of Russian Blaster 1000 rockets and Tracksuit Jumping Jack bombs. These could be key in securing and stalling Russian advancements in the southeastern Kyivivivivsky Forest.

Made in China so it's a Russian thing, not Ukrainian.
Dumbasses out themselves.

Now that reads like a TDS hot take that makes no sense at all.
Trump is STILL saying he will pull the U.S. out of NATO, and that will be a blow to it in a lot of ways. And we don't even have to speculate that he is somehow manipulated in any way into that position... just that he holds it and has long talked out loud about it offered something for Russia to exploit.
"Recapturing" Moldova, Romania, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and half of Poland after Ukraine is STILL the stated Russian goal, as per Putin's talking heads on those weirdo nightly Fascist talk shows in Russia.
If the latter seems far-fetched to you, now, it's because you know Russia's military can't even clearly defeat Ukraine (something Lima Whisky will disagree with you about because they haven't even really started trying, yet, according to him) and is in general so corrupt and poorly trained and run that there's no way they could take on even the tiny Baltic states' NATO-trained armies in a blitzkrieg before article 5 could be triggered...
But Putin actually learned that probably a few days after you did, and military officials in Moscow fell from windows like rain drops...
Someone here, and not someone especially anti-Trump if I recall, said "it seems Putin's strategy is just to hope that Trump is re-elected at this point and cuts off aid to Ukraine so he can win." That seems to be it.

It seems Biden is starting to realize the simple fact that he can't physically keep up with the demands of campaigning and being President at the same time, or separately... supposedly he's asking other Democrats if "Kamala could really win against Trump, too?" His ego needs to think he's not the only chance (he's probably the worse chance, really).

Still shilling for Hillary's pee pee dossier are you... Fusion GPS made a lot of money doing that hoax.

Not addressing facts and going to the gags.
So you're saying it was intentional Fusion GPS disinfo? So Steele is not "guilty" of anything? Trying to keep this straight...
Steele did just pass on what Russian sources told him, and who trusts Russian sources?
But where did I mention that dossier in what I posted? Deflection.

Lee, you've absolutely got to stop this. No, you aren't the only one in here who contaminates the board with junk political discussion (far from it), but you're the only Democrat in here doing so. If you'd stop, then a lot of the junk political crap would stop, because many of those on the other side are only responding to you.

Stormy, the RUSI report argues that the decision to hold Bakhmut was a strategic mistake, but I do not think that it addresses the fact that it ultimately resulted in the removal of Wagner from the battlefield.

Russia appears to have recaptured a village they lost last year.
In other news the war continues.

It's really tiresome when people who don't follow this thread pop in to announce something that they think is big news, when in fact, it's somehting we discussed five days ago.

In fact, since I first conveyed that report of the fall of Urozhaine, this is now the second person to come in here announcing it.

France with a big new aide package to Ukraine.
128 VAB APCs
18 CAESAR self propelled howitzers
24 AMX-10 RC
Radars
ATGMs
Unknown number of trucks
It also seems like the number of Mirage 200-5 aircraft that France will eventually hand over to Ukraine will be 12 to take over the role of delivering Storm Shadows from the Su-24.
