@randymot4 Could you please post in Thread? I'll delete my account here soon.

Stopping Putin's Game: (1) Putin's only viable plan to keep part of illegally-occupied Ukraine is to erode Western military aid. Left as it is, every day Russia faces huge irreplacable losses, while the AFU grow stronger. See post below. (2) The Russian attack on political support for the war is built on the erroneous premise that this will be "an endless war." This plays well as a theme to Americans disallusioned by the Afghanistan war, its costs and the "train wreck" withdrawal. (3) Americans get very little detailed news on the military operations and results. Even well-ionformed friends of mine are surprised by facts that I report to them. It is simply not covered by US media. See post below. (4) This Russian propaganda line shows up in the Russian troll acounts, with pro-Russian nut jobs and then creeps into traditional news and opinions, i.e. David Sacks, Elon Musk, NYT, and others. None of the non-Russian sympathizers actually have detailed factual justificationb for them allegations nor do the third-parties deceived by this actually check anything. (5) This endless war narrative has been the underlining basis for the erosion of Republican support for Ukraine both in the public and in Congress. Creating the narrative of a stalemate allows people to argue that it is time for "peace" or compromise. Folks often cite the need to end the suffering in Ukraine as some kind of thinly constructed moral cover for their opinion. (6) Ukrainians overwhelmingly want to keep fighting, despite the dear cost to their society. They know the price of Russian occupation in random civilian murders, rapes, looting and targeted assassination of political and military figures. Only 9% find it somewhat or fully acceptable to cede territory illegally occupied by Russia including 2022 seizures as well as Crimea, Donetsk and Luhansk. Kyiv Institute for Sociology, June 2023 poll. (7) I submit that Ukrainian sentiment would not run this strongly in favor of continuing to fight to achieve the 1991 borders if they felt they were losing or if the war promises an "endless conflict." (8) So viewed totally objectively, is Ukraine winning and does the realtively small squre kilomerters of advances mean anything? (a) using the total map of Ukraine is very misleading: the actual area of the war now is a ban of land 40-80 km wide running from the north to Kherson. Ukraine needs only get a penetration or two through this lione to break out behind the generally undefended Russian rear areas. (b) Ukraine is making big progress in doing so, due to its attrituion of Russian forces, especially artillery and air defense. Precision artillery and drone strikes have decimated the Russian army, which is hitting horribly low morale, is poorly supplied and growing worse, and cannot replace either troops or equipment losses. New conscripts are untrained and lack officers to lead them. (c) Recently Ukraine has neutralized the Black Sea Fleet pushing it to the east and has virtually all of Crimea under indirect fire and drone coverage. Russian air defense is almost useless and has been taken out daily in key areas. Russian supply lines - never done well- are now reduced and threatened across the front. Russian troops and generals in linked communications have revealed general and growing defeatism. #UkraineWillWin #RussiaLosing #RussianPropaganda These facts are set out in these threads (below) and I seriously invite anyone who can contest any of the facts stated to make the effort. Please report, bookmark, and use this in discussions with people who seem to lack relevant information.

@omw @Maks_NAFO_FELLA I wish for younger candidates on both sides, but Biden's age isn't a reason to vote for an insurrectionist who's only 3 years younger. I'm not a Biden fan but his effectiveness in getting bills passed the partisan Congress impressed me. His political experiences show.

👀 Based 🇺🇸🇺🇦

@omw @jimmys0461 @Maks_NAFO_FELLA Trump is more so.

@silentlurker82 @ItsMeLeeBo @PierreDelecto02 @FreeUkraine91 @newtgingrich @renrubuk May 2023 troll. Bye.

@ItsMeLeeBo @PierreDelecto02 @FreeUkraine91 @newtgingrich @renrubuk You should go the Ukraine frontlines, warmonger! America will not miss you, MIC bootlicker!

Is Gaetz secretly an agent for the Democratic Party? No one else is doing as much to undermine, weaken and cripple the House GOP

@matthewallen The vengeful nature of Christianity was why I never like it. It's imperialist threat: If you don't accept, you & your descendants will suffer horribly! I prefer eastern religions where non-believers are just non-enlightened beings. Hell was reserved for truly awful humans.

The church has a crisis on its hands. As younger generations increasingly decide to leave religious institutions, they leave their parents behind to wonder where it went wrong. Half filled pews with older parents who are sad, confused and probably feel like failures. Why? 1/

@AlexSGaston @UkrReview @Maks_NAFO_FELLA So you think Churchill was a bad leader and Chamberlain was a good one?

🤔 "#Trump thinks he gets along very well with #Putin. And he would then say, is it not a good thing to have that kind of relationship with a country like Russia? He would say the same thing about Xi Jinping, or Kim Jong Un.", - John Bolton, Trump’s ex-national security adviser

@kromark Why would anyone to go to this length to prove someone's not killed if he's really alive? If he's alive, he just needs to show up at a public place. The troubles they went through make me think he's dead. All the "proof" above could have been photoshopped.

A proof that the 're-enacted' award-giving video featuring Viktor Sokolov, the commander of the Russian Black Sea fleet who claimed to have been killed in the strike on Sevastopol, was filmed today, on September 27th. twitter.com/novostidnua/st…

New @planet satellite image of the Russian Black Sea fleet headquarters after the Sep. 22 Ukrainian strike. Unlike the previous images, this one, without the smoke, clearly demonstrates the impact areas.

@pustota In the earlier photo, he's sitting leaning forward as we do in a work meeting. In the recent photo, he's leaning back against the "chair" (I still think it looks like a pillow) and his eyes look closed. He didn't speak or move. It looks like an image photoshopped in.

Important clue: investigative media Agentstvo found Sokolov in the same setup in July, so it is three times altogether. I don’t think they copied his video every time.

This is a pic from one of the previous Russian MOD's conferences (20 of June) where Sokolov was also present via video. I couldn't find it in better quality, but it is visible that he had the same wider than others white chair back. So I doubt it is a hospital bed as some claim

@GlasnostGone His eyes seem to be closed.

@skateparken @pustota How "recent" is it? There's no date stamp on it so this is no proof.

@MarkHertling @GovRonDeSantis @tkelce I got my flu shot last week and an appointment for COVID booster today. My 4th booster as well. My card is running out of space.

I feel like such a rebel. Ignoring @GovRonDeSantis and instead taking the advice of @tkelce, I got both Flu shot & #5 Covid today. Who else follows science & health?

@yarotrof A body with eyes closed propped up against a pillow is good proof of life to you?

It wasn’t great for Ukrainian credibility TBH. Russia claimed falsely earlier this year to have killed Zaluzhny and Budanov, but Russian military statements were by then widely dismissed as fantasy. Ukraine until recently had a more sober record.

@Seg321321 @COUPSURE September 2023 bot

@COUPSURE The Ukraine is still losing.

SOROKYNE: 25 SEP 2023_0808 A Planet Labs satellite image from September 25, 2023 shows a very large explosion at a Russian ammunition depot in the town of Sorokyne (Krasnodon), Luhansk Oblast. The depot is located some 130 kilometers from the front line. This attack is particularly interesting because the large Russian logistics hubs located in rear areas in eastern Ukraine have been largely spared by Ukrainian strikes until now.

@igorsushko Given our 2024 election, "as long as it takes" has an expiration date.

Andrei Kozyrev was Russia's Foreign Minister under Yeltsin in the 90s. Supporting Ukraine "as long as it takes" is a horrible slogan-turned-(lack of)-strategy. Our leadership should reassess our approach. Proverb: No matter how far you've gone down the wrong path, turn back now!

@DefenceU How many artillery does Russia have left? 6260 were destroyed.

«It is the time to dare and endure.» Winston Churchill Total combat losses of the enemy from February 24, 2022 to September 25, 2023:

@Maks_NAFO_FELLA Wouldn't they want to find all the bosies before demolishing it? Or they prefer them "missing"?

The remains of the headquarters of the Russian Black Sea Fleet are being demolished in Sevastopol 👀 Locals heard a loud sound like an explosion. Pseudo-governor Razvozhaev writes that this is “dismantling of emergency structures.” Smoke rises from the area.

@roy_t_334 @DarthPutinKGB Just to clarify, the 230K certificates are for Russian soldiers. It's not that much lower than Ukraine's estimate of Russian KIAs (270K).

@DarthPutinKGB does he know about the 230k Certificates for Families of Dead Soldiers? Newsweek have the gen, but as yet haven't confirmed its veracity the figure sounds about right tho

He got these figures from Hunter Biden’s laptop that was found in a German crewed leopard tank with 200 dead NATO generals in it. Trolls like this enjoy the attention. Probably along with sexual humiliation.

@nepovim_o @Osinttechnical S400 heroically intercepted several drones & missiles several days ago. 🙃

@Osinttechnical What S400 doing?

New satellite imagery from this afternoon of the Russian Black Sea Fleet headquarters building in Sevastopol post Ukrainian Storm Shadow/SCALP ALCM strike yesterday. Fires appear to be out, but the building is heavily damaged.

@KINGWAMI1 @Osinttechnical Yes, the building and people in it sacrificed themselves to intercept the missiles heroically. 🙃

@Osinttechnical Was the building intercepting the missiles?

@ciaorago @schwift_ytick @hugh_kraine @Maks_NAFO_FELLA WAR is a good reason to suspend elections.

@schwift_ytick @hugh_kraine @Maks_NAFO_FELLA Just because an approval rate is high, doesn't mean it's a good reason to suspend elections
