Who knows how long Ukraine can hold on to the land in the Kursk region of Russia.
It looks like Ukraine is still holding on and has defeated a Russian counter attack.
This area could become a bargaining chip for Ukraine.

The sad situation of the citizens trapped in the area was covered in an earlier broadcast
by the youtuber Insiderussia.The people had no idea of the invasion until the war reached
their home land. It looks like the Putin regime is lying to Russians just like the Biden/Harris admin.
Dictators cannot tell the truth to their people.



 
so Putin sacks his SecDef over this failure.  Still waiting to see who is being held accountable for Biden's catastrophic Afghanistan withdrawal failure.  Epic failure.  crickets.

There's a reason our economy is destroyed and they are doing just fine.

Every once in a while I start thinking about how Russia is painted as this big, menacing, powerful enemy of the peace-loving world.

Then, a rinky dink nation like Ukraine who cannot even fight it's own battles without help from the west goes and invades Russian territory.

Maybe Russia is not putting it's best foot forward and is saving their elite forces.  Articles like these makes you wonder just how powerful Russia really is.

It's called propaganda, and it's brought to you by the same people who tried to pin the Nordstream pipeline on Russia even though that narrative made absolutely zero sense at the time and now has been proven laughably false.

The goal of propagandists is to strangle your critical thinking capabilities with your own emotions. Ukraine is just an attempt to break up Russia and go after their resources by a corrupt and failing west that has run out of gas. We dump billions over there as our streets crumble and turn into war zones.

All wars are bankers' wars.

Initially, I thought Russia was holding back.  Because they were sending in noobs/oldmen and had a draft.  I get that their equipment often is breaking or doesn't work.  But I figure they would put up more of a fight against what is a smaller country/enemy.

Air power was a shock.  Neither side really ruled the skies.  Excluding drones.  Since Ukraines air force isnt' a big, maybe they got stingers from our spookes, but keep it hush hush.  It worked in A-stan.

You mean that time when we spent 20 years, thousands of lives, and trillions of dollars to replace the Taliban with the Taliban?

EDIT:

My bad. I realized you were talking about the Rambo era Afghanistan when we still had an effective DOD that wasn't infested with woke commie morons.

Lei reports on the status of the Chinese mercs and other topics.
Lei has been able to get amazing info thru her contacts in China.
She was the first to report on the situation involving the possible replacement of Xi.

Gee, I dunno about some of these news reports coming out from the Ukraine/Russia war.

In this article you'll see the title does not match the article content.  WTF.

I wish, but don't think so.

If the Russians and/or Chinese ever attack Hawaii, think mushroom cloud.  Hawaii is not worth the ammo or boots on the ground.  Hence, the question is not how many guns, ammo, body armor, etc. should you have, but rather how many megatons will those nukes possess when they reach their target.

Hawaii would be one of the first targets hit.

Vid of the "Ivan throw" is circulating. Nevermind trying to shoot down drones, just toss your AK at one that's incoming. Problem solved.

North Korea's elite?

Is there anybody in North Korea's military that has any recent Combat experience?  Last time they had soldiers that had combat experience, it was the Korean War in 1950.

That would put their experienced leaders of the military at around 90 years old.

Truth is, if it weren't for Big Brother China, North Korea would have been History long, long ago.

Zelensky now threatening to develop nuclear bomb, drop an A-bomb on Russia, if the US doesn't pay up.  Taking a lesson out of the Kim Jong Un playbook, eh?  Well, Iran got $6B from Biden.  Straight-up nuclear blackmail.  If Zelensky dropped one bomb on Russia, Putin would probably turn Kiev and western Ukraine into a glass parking lot.  Save the eastern regions, obviously (Luhansk, Donbas, etc).

I recall we invaded a country due to threats of WMD?  unfortunately we had some bad intel.  Russia would be justified to do the same?  Now they'd have the justification to go all the way to Kiev.

Not even sure if Russia could mount a surgical precision strike to pre-emptively take out the nuclear labs, Israeli-style, since nowadays the US-supplied UKR air defense is pretty successful (e.g. 50% or higher) at stopping drones, missiles, and rockets.  Until the AD runs out of missiles (e.g. US-provided Patriot system).  Nowadays, the you have to launch more drones, missiles, rockets, than the target has AD missiles loaded up in their missile batteries.  and use aircraft to shoot down slow-flying drones.

maybe he should start drafting Ukraine's 18YO to 25YO men to mobilize the necessary manpower to actually fight the war before threatening a "last resort" nuclear option.  He's supposedly 300,000 short of the 500,000 needed, per his defense minister.

Didn't Ukraine get rid of their nukes cause we said we would protect them?
