Coil Posted March 2, 2022 #1426 Share Posted March 2, 2022 The Pentagon believes that no significant changes in the war in Ukraine have taken place during the day. According to the United States, Russia has already brought 82% of its forces to Ukraine. Russian troops have lost momentum in recent days, but this does not mean that they have no strength left. Russia is not recruiting any additional troops to involve them in the operation in Ukraine, and there are no signs of Belarus preparing for an attack, a Pentagon spokesman was quoted as saying by CNN. The US Department of Defense believes that the Armed Forces of Ukraine retain a significant part of its combat potential. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+and-then Posted March 2, 2022 #1428 Share Posted March 2, 2022 I realize that most here do not accept Tucker Carlson as a legitimate source but I think his guest has the Bona Fides to speak on military matters. I hope MacGregor is wrong but what he says dovetails with a lot of what is online about the Russian efforts so far. The only real difference is that the lack of Russian training and strategic moves don't make sense so far: MacGregor begins at about 3:00 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russians deserve the chance to join the rest of us in 21st century. They saw a little bit of freedom and then these oligarch parasites took their own country away from them, again. True Russia is still alive, it's protesting in the streets no matter how dangerous it is. One of the reasons why Putin started a bloody, brother-murdering war is precisely that, that Russia is still alive and he's deadly afraid of it. Helen, my love, I don't disagree with what you are saying...I long for a day when the people...the Citizens..of Russia will not be controlled by the Government... There are two Russias...the people oppressed...and the Government that oppresses them. If the Russian people attempt to rise up...they will be shut down hard. That is the horrific reality of those in Russia...I am not disagreeing with you at all. I wish I could elaborate...but to protect those I love in Russia...I cannot.

Not sure how things work there but I bet your policies have either a War clause or an exclusion to it. If not, they'd be obligated to pay up if nothing was ever addressed. Could be part of a man made disaster clause too. Edited March 3, 2022 by F3SS 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is my thinking that, at it's basic level...the news story is covered as soon as it is reported. Russia attacked Ukraine. My next question is...what can I do about it? Can I in anyway effect the war in the Ukraine? Then answer obviously is no, I cannot. Knowing that a bad thing happened and knowing that I have no power over it is enough for me. No matter what I do, what I think, how I feel, I am powerless to change that situation. The next question then is, Why should I listen to the media analyze to the Nth degree something that I have no control over? It's a real question for me. Why should I? Why should I listen to someone I don't know tell me how I should think about something that I have no power over? The media has its own agenda and the narrative with which they portray news stories is suspect because of their agenda. I don't trust them, so...yes, for me, no news is good news. Also, I see the news stories the masses glom onto as a form of Entertainment. Other people's hardships and woes I do not find entertaining. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkHunter Posted March 3, 2022 #1441 Share Posted March 3, 2022 (edited) Hearing reports that Ukranian forces have killed Russian major general Andrei Sukhovetskiy. He was a Spetznaz commander and deputy chief of the 41st army in Novosibirsk. Also Ukranian forces have recaptured another town, this time Bucha which is near Kyiv. Seems the Ukranian military is beginning to slowly recapture ground lost in a few areas. Edited March 3, 2022 by DarkHunter 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I been hearing of a counter offensive but havent heard much yet if it's in the north, east, south, or some combination of the three. Either way the invasion is going incredibly bad for the Russians. It seems from intercepted Russian radio communication the various Russian units are arguing and fighting amongst themselves along with having very low morale, saying how they arent prepared to fight, how there is no Russian army, and how all the news reports they are hearing from the government/commanders are lies. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkHunter Posted March 3, 2022 #1444 Share Posted March 3, 2022 Seems the Russisn FSB is planning violent crowd control techniques and extensive detentions in occupied Ukranian cities to try and break moral.

Seems the Russian navy likes to attack cargo ships of neutral nations. This article states that the Russians had already captured the ship. Maybe it was a mine that they hit. https://news.err.ee/1608519392/estonian-owned-cargo-ship-sinking-off-odesa-after-russian-action As of Thursday afternoon, the vessel, a cargo ship named the Helt was sinking, with a heavy list, maritime news site Maritime Bulletin reports, citing Ukrainian sources. U.K. paper the Daily Mail reported on its website that four crew members were still missing, while two have abandoned ship by using a lifeboat, and that the ship struck a mine after having been hijacked by Russian forces. Reuters also reports mine-strike as the likely cause of the initial explosion. All six crew members have since been safely accounted for, the Estonian foreign ministry says. None of the six were Estonian citizens, the ministry added. The Helt had reportedly been captured by the Russian Navy and used by them as a shield from direct fire, the Daily Mail reports, at a time when Russian naval landing craft are reportedly approaching Odesa ahead of an amphibious landing. Maritime Bulletin reports that the tactic might also have been used as a way of evading radar detection. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helen of Annoy Posted March 3, 2022 #1449 Share Posted March 3, 2022 16 hours ago, and then said: I realize that most here do not accept Tucker Carlson as a legitimate source Tucker Carlson is spokesthing of Kremlin. I know you don't want to believe that, but it is so and it will be proven. Hopefully, in International court of justice too. I'm not saying he'll end up on trial, though he should, I'm saying his role will be proven too when processes for more significant Russian assets are completed. It's beyond belief that Kremlin managed to slither so high in the top of US politics and spread its disinformation tentacles so wide among American public. The only good thing is that too will soon end. First the finances will dry up, as Russian economy collapses under real sanctions (Tucker told you sanctions won't work - see how they're not working), then the orders will stop, when Putin meets his maker down in Hell. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's possibility FSB already has two factions, one of which wants to dispose Putin. I'm not saying the faction that wants him gone will prevail, but since it can only be the stance of the more intelligent people, they are likely to win over morons and fanatics. There's possibility Russian military will be loyal to Russia, not Putin. Again, the split and the conflict among them is certain, the wiser faction more likely to prevail. There's possibility oligarchs will try to save their asses by sacrificing Putin, again the same logic: split, conflict, wiser wins. There's possibility Russian nation will not tolerate caskets coming home from a Slavic country that did not attack Russia, that Russian nation won't have anything to lose and that many policemen won't be able to go against their countrymen, since they are now finding out the truth. There are so many possibilities yet Putin's trolls are telling you to believe everything's lost, so you don't even try to resist. Do not believe them. Europe does not believe them. Putin is not a force of nature. He's a freak of nature. I said once before that Navalny will outlive Putin. It's a wish, not a prognosis based in facts. But it's a possibility too. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
