Ukraine war updates

[727Sky]

As many of us not doubt know there is allot of fake news about the war. Everything from Rah Rah Ukraine is winning to they will be defeated in the next few days; somewhere in between there is the truth. We can post videos or articles we find interesting and let those who see or read them make their own decisions.

More information on the Russian blogger who was killed in the restaurant blast


Russian is such an ugly language IMO.. Like a Russian friend of mine once said, "No one can speak proper Russian unless you grew up in Russia!"

I entirely agree. When the same media have reared generations -certainly in Europe, to believe that true war
cripples the nations involved to the point of where things we take for granted are -not only negatively effected
-but stopped completely, we now have a 'war-torn' country taking part in international soccer tournaments and
winning AND hoping to host a Eurovision Song Contest!

People in political positions regularly visit the leader of this war-ravaged country and visa-versa for a photo-op.
An enemy is chosen for us by the same media who are somehow on the ground to benefit from such meetings.
There's a lot of human logistics involved in all these examples and yet, we're presented with the old manner of
perceiving a 'War' and assumed to accept it.

The harder I try to take this absurdity seriously, the more ridiculous it becomes. I mean on one hand some of it looks authentic, but on the other it's like watching a poorly scripted parody movie with many actors! I've heard some calling it the Law of Occam’s Brassiere.


"Shapeshifting" an excerpt from HyperNormalization, a 2016 BBC documentary by British filmmaker by Adam Curtis.




Surkovian Method: non-linear or hybrid warfare paradigm. A ceaseless shape-shifting that is unstoppable because it is undefinable. It is exactly what Surkov is alleged to have done in the Ukraine this year [2015]. In typical fashion, as the war began, Surkov published a short story about something he called non-linear war. A war where you never know what the enemy are really up to, or even who they are. The underlying aim, Surkov says, is not to win the war, but to use the conflict to create a constant state of destabilized perception, in order to manage and control. ― Vladislav Yuryevich Surkov

Adam Curtis on the fall of the Soviet Union's worrying parallels with modern Britain, interview from Oct 2022 about his latest brilliant, albeit sad dark history documentary series, "Russia 1985-1999: TraumaZone".



The docu series is not the usual Curtis narration voice over, but 14 years worth of BBC archival footage.  IMDB | Youtube

One ///that is one hell of a weapon; not even a crispy critter would be left ! Two...I would not want to be the girl in Russian hands who was arrested for the bomb attack !
A very sneaky plan that evidently worked

As many already know there are many different factions and ethnic groups in Russia however this latest little religious conflict may actually amount to something as the Muslims and Christians are having a spat over a proposed Mosque.. https://youtu.be/wHJnQYEOcOM

The title of the video is, "WAR IS BREWING IN RUSSIA - CHECHENS ARE THREATENING RUSSIANS WHICH OPPOSE THE NEW MOSQUE IN MOSCOW"

The previous vid where the Ukes took russian tanks and made them  do friendly fire was amazing.

Trenches cleared of miserable war fighters.. With the little CCP toys are us drones no place is safe IMO

There is so much propaganda that we have a hard time knowing exactly what is happening.. I am impressed with the use of the off the shelf $300 civilian drones and I am sure the USA can come up with their on version costing 10x the price.

I'm with you on that thought.  Didn't realize the prisoner exchanges were going on.  

A bloody exercise on the use of particular weapons either cheaply manufactured on the field or supplied from from other nations.  Testing ground?

I'd like to know how many Russian tanks, APC's, mobile artillery vehicles and the like have been taken out in all.  

No way I'd be riding in armour within that demographic after seeing these clips.  I'd take my chances on two feet.

Kind regards,

I've always viewed armor as mobile microwave ovens anyhow. Never been fond of trusting my life to any.

Soviet reliance on armor is why I knew for certain they'd have their asses handed to them if they ever "invaded" the US during the Cold War, which is why I never took any of those tales seriously in those days.

I took two years of Russian in college. Had a Russian room mate. Hung out with Russian families. For my vote, it is a difficult language to get a hold of. I never did. Just struggled.   

I agree there is a lot of cheerleading sources of information out there. From Russia has been driven back to Moscow and the Ukes will be done by the end of the week. 

Below are some sources I have found which are relatively reliable.

There have been problems between the Wagner group and the Russian army for a while now as Russia has not been supplying the ammo and arms Wagner said they needed.... Get in line Wagner as the Russian Army has the same complaint !

[727Sky]

Anyone who knows anything about Russian corruption and the Russian mafia will not be surprised at some of this stuff..Some of the Russian commentators seem to be speaking boldly now; are their cracks forming or is it propaganda to make the Russians bare down harder? The last part of the video is about a cruel TSA Idiot in Detroit Mich.

The Wagner group is not being supplied even after all their complaints..
