Mandy Lifeboats Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 The long range missiles seem to be doing their job against ruSSian ammunition dumps. But they can only do that if the Ukrainians know where to target. It could be Special Forces, drone reconissance and the local population finding them. But I suspect this success is mainly due to US intelligence gathering. Putin isn't stupid. He must see that any escalation of the war into NATO territory would see a swift and brutal destruction of his army. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 If Putin decided to attack a NATO country that would essentially be his version of suicide by cop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not because troops are knackered or because their low on munitions and supplies. Just because they're taking a well earned break over the hot weekend. Putin is full of shit. His army are stretched so much they cannot advance without abandoning other positions now. I think if Ukraine get their own act together things will start to reverse. Especially in the South. Putin is making such a bee line for the Donbas he's drove his army into the ground in the process. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never over estimate their intelligence. You don't get the same airfield / ammo dump blown up at least 25 times with just sheer incompetence, there's a special level of stupidity reserved for that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The civilian population are predominantly pro Ukraine and have been treated like shit by the invaders. Having to take Russian citizenship for food and supplies is horrendous from an occupying force apparently trying to win the hearts and minds of the population. Kherson is where I expect the civilian population to turn on the Russians once Ukrainian forces close in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Kherson Cat account is someone living in Kherson risking his life just posting what he does and with great regularity I suspect he's on a Russian hitlist or two 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magnkarl Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 Strong troop movement from Ukraine towards the Dnipr just north of Kherson tonight according to accounts on the ground. Is this the start of the counter offensive? The free world is rooting for you Ukraine. Give the fascists hell. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 Quote Brazil's Bolsonaro says deal close to buy cheaper diesel from Russia BRASILIA, July 11 (Reuters) - Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro said on Monday that a deal was close with Moscow to buy much cheaper diesel from Russia, in what would appear to be the latest tangible benefit stemming from his friendly relationship with President Vladimir Putin. Bolsonaro, a far-right former army captain, gave no further details. Neither Bolsonaro's office, nor Brazil's Mining and Energy Ministry immediately responded to requests for comment. "It makes sense and eventually could happen," a senior Economy Ministry official said on condition of anonymity, declining to give further details. A senior official from state-run oil company Petroleo Brasileiro SA (PETR4.SA), or Petrobras, which supplies most fuel to the domestic market, told Reuters the idea was not surprising but raised concerns, without going into details. High fuel prices have hurt Bolsonaro's re-election hopes ahead of an October vote, leaving him trailing in polls to leftist former leader Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva. https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/brazils-bolsonaro-says-deal-close-buy-cheaper-diesel-russia-2022-07-11/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could see a few governments changing in the next few months. Australia switched a few weeks back and the ‘cost of living crisis’ is ultimately what has done in Boris Johnson. Biden and the Democrats are about to get a kicking in November. Hopefully Bolsonaro gets the boot in October, I can see why he’s scrambling for cheaper oil.

tinker Posted July 13, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted July 13, 2022 Hopefully the West will supply the Ukraine with as many means as possible to finish the war quickly. Russia has a powerful weapon with natural resources and the Brazilian situation opens a door to others. Cheap fuel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
