Nor are we providing Ukraine with any weapons that could reach Moscow. Nor is there any discussion of doing so. It's a comment that reveals complete ignorance about the war and the weapons involved in it.

I'm still waiting for that completely flat terrain for Russian tanks to rambled everywhere from the area occupied by Russia pre 2022.
Also, that Gazprom/Russia had nothing to gain from blowing up Nord Stream before it faced BILLIONS in loses due contract default.
He's either certifiably an idiot or bought and paid for

The most comparable modern event to Ukraine is the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait in 1990.
It's interesting to imagine if the response had been the same as it was then... a 42-country coalition led by the US repels the invasion. And in the process in this case obliterates the Russian military as we saw it in that first week,,, and would Putin launch nukes in response?

He thought for sure Ukraine was going to fall in two weeks. I think he follows Indian news reports as gospel.

He kept saying he was getting info from his German sources, likely old Stasi from East Germany now Russian spies
The dude never once looked at a terrain map.

Key Takeaways:
Russian President Vladimir Putin continues to use nuclear saber-rattling to target Western decision-making and promote Western self-deterrence.
Russia used Navy Day celebrations to showcase Russia's relations with a number of non-Western states as part of efforts to create a supposed Russian-led group of states to rally against the West.
Ukrainian forces conducted a drone strike against a Russian oil depot in Polevaya, Kursk Oblast on the night of July 27 to 28.
A rebel coalition in Mali reportedly killed and wounded dozens of Russian servicemen and Wagner Group mercenaries as well as a prominent Wagner-affiliated milblogger on the Mali-Algeria border on July 27.
Primorsky Krai Governor Oleg Kozhemyako recently announced the creation of an independent volunteer unit to police migrants as the Russian government continues efforts to expand its control over migrants in Russia.
Russian forces recently advanced northwest of Avdiivka, west of Donetsk City, and in western Zaporizhia Oblast, and Ukrainian forces recently regained lost positions in the Siversk direction.
Ukrainian military observer Kostyantyn Mashovets assessed that the Russian military may need to accumulate up to 320,000 additional personnel in Ukraine in order to achieve its reported plans to deploy 690,000 troops in Ukraine.

Ukraine is claiming to have struck a Russian bomber base in the Arctic, some 1800 kms from Ukraine. They claim to have disabled a Tu-22M3 bomber.
For now, there's no independent proof of the claim, but let's see if any satellite evidence emerges.

Mali's army and its Russian allies suffered a major setback and significant losses Saturday while fighting separatists in the country's north, a spokesman for the rebels told AFP.
The West African nation's military leaders that took power in a 2020 coup have made it a priority to retake all of the country from separatist and jihadist forces, particularly in Kidal, a pro-independence northern bastion.
"Azawad fighters are in control in Tinzaouatene and further south in the Kidal region," said Mohamed Elmaouloud Ramadane, a spokesman for an alliance of predominantly Tuareg separatist armed groups called CSP-DPA.
"Russian mercenaries and Malian armed forces have fled," he added. "Others have surrendered."
He also shared videos of numerous corpses of soldiers and their allies.
"The Malian army has retreated," a local politician told AFP, citing at least 17 dead in a provisional toll.
"The CSP people are still in Tinzaouaten. The army and Wagner are no longer there," he added, referring to the Russian mercenary group.
Fighting also took place further south toward Abeibara, the politician said.
Other reports say they have taken a number of Russian prisoners and are offering them to Ukraine.

Breakthrough? 5 miles in two weeks. Let’s see.

Hush now. This is Russia's biggest accomplishment this year. They need something to hang their hats on for 150,000 casualties and burning through most of North Korea's shell surplus.
They'll replay videos of this all winter while planning their next great offensive.
The fricking Olympics will make it to Kiev before the Russian army.

Yes, a few weeks ago, I thought that the Russian advance on the Avdiivka axis was petering out. Very much not the case.
The new Ukrainian troops from mobilization are mostly still training, and it seems likely that Russia still has a few more months of advancement ahead.

Did you look at the thread or just at the first tweet? Didn't claim it was a breakthrough necessarily. The main point is that resources are being stretched thin and we are seeing some Russian advances at multiple points on the front, coupled with the fact that the best troops Ukraine has are already there. The reinforcements via the mobilization will help things, but will that stop the current trend or is it just throwing more bodies at the problem? Either way, Russia appears to be trying to take advantage of the situation with mixed results.

No, the lack of bodies is the biggest part of the problem. The new mobilization law is definitely generating new recruits, but cooperation with it would go down if Ukraine were to return to the days in late 2022 when guys would get thrown into the fire in Bakhmut after a couple of days of "training". So, they are actually training these new units.

The quality of troop will be better than those in Bakhmut, but I think there is still a question as to how effective they will ultimately be due to morale and motivation concerns, the quality of the training received, and where they end up deployed and who they are with.

I did look at the thread and the source which sure seems accurate. At the same time also remember Russian advances towards Slovyansk in 2022.
To be concerned I will need to find a terrain map of the area.
