The punchline to all that is "don't delay winter is coming" and the message is your econony is going down the tubes if/when we close off the gas supply to the European Union. The rest is just filler. Thing is though if Germany does a U-turn on decommissioning its nuclear power plants and the Dutch reactivate the Groningen gas field the EU can probably weather the storm OK at this point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongTimeLurker Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Russia might be looking for an excuse to finally call it a war and mobilise more troops: An attack on Crimea has previously been described as a red line for that and Navy Day celebrations were cancelled because of this. Small petal shaped mines have also mysteriously been scattered across most of Donetsk city centre: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newbornbairn Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Possibly with these false flags, the castration of the prisoner and the mass murder of the POWs, Russia is desperate to escalate this before the Ukrainians get even more help from the rest of the world. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongTimeLurker Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Despite some minor gains for the Russians in the Donbas, the Ukrainians have claimed to be pushing the Russians back around Izium in recent days: probably because of what HIMARS has done to Russian logistics and possibly because the Russians have had to shift troops away from there to shore things up around Kherson. Vlad probably has some tough decisions to make because it's difficult to see how the Ukrainians don't keep getting stronger while the Russians get weaker on the current trajectory as more NATO weaponry arrives. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongTimeLurker Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Serbia also appears to be at the brink of war with Kosovo and hence NATO in recent hours. Guess we are living in interesting times in Chinese proverb terms. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TxRover Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Sorry if it’s already been reported, but Russian artillery support is in pretty dire straits. https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidaxe/2022/07/25/russias-artillery-is-wearing-out-and-blowing-up/?sh=127a0532734c Confirmation via noted reduction in Russian barrages. Also, the movement of ammo dumps beyond the range of Ukraine’s new artillery units is causing supply issues with too few trucks available. Add the fact that the Russians simply cannot produce anywhere near replacement levels of shells… 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a bit of a crowded house as we already had six of us living at mine and now a further three. They are very nice, Mum is always cleaning up and Dad is walking about with his toolbox fixing everything. If anyone is considering doing it, I highly recommend. If there's a photo that makes you a proud Dad it's this one. Good for you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTChris Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 (edited) Russia has banned a number of Scottish politicans, including Ross Greer and Alex Cole-Hamilton. Clearly the regime in Moscow is shrewder than we thought. Edited August 1, 2022 by ICTChris 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I would think that once a soldier’s full name, DOB, address, phone number and army details are posted online for anyone to see, then it becomes much easier for Ukrainian intelligence services/hackers/partisans to locate him On 30/07/2022 at 00:46, welshbairn said: I was assuming he was home in Mother Russia by now with some loot for the missus, swigging vodka supplied by a grateful nation. Was thinking about this last night. Is it inconceivable that the Ukrainians will spend the better part of the next century hunting these people down, in the same mould as the Israelis? Or will they take a more ‘leave it to the ICC to arbitrate’ attitude? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will have been far more incidents of brutality by individual soldiers that didn't end on film, and no doubt on the Ukrainian side too. I think their time would be better spent going after the commanders and politicians who orchestrated it all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newbornbairn Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 They've already said they'll hunt them down. The guy who castrated the POW is reportedly dead now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
