@ Nelson123097 so really what you are saying is the same thing as the last troll here Democracy? I donât think you know what that is although I suppose you will tell us all here Russia is a fine example of that
Hey keep active on your phone and weâll let the Ukrainian HIMARS team know your location
@John78 you are welcome
Ukraine frontline: the battle for Bakhmut
Russia deploys frigate with hypersonic missiles as criticism of military grows louder
More details on the HIMARS strike which eliminated 400+ Russian troops on New Yearâs Eve
So it seems the timing of this strike also sent a very strong message to Moscow.
And now an analysis of what will follow:
The total massacre will begin. A so-called organization of the widows of Russian soldiers (obviously just a spokesperson for the Kremlin) formally demanded the mobilization of âmillionsâ of men and the closing of Russiaâs borders - for total victory in Ukraine. The message went viral in Russia, it is now being pushed through all possible channels.
So that will happen. The problem is that the Russians donât have the ability to train, arm or feed that many people. Their economy is not capable of supporting such a thing. Itâs crazy - but heâll do it.
We will witness in horror a general massacre such as we have not seen before. The walking attack waves where everyone dies from now on from Bakhmut multiplied by 10/100. Like in Stalingrad it will be.
Probably, otherwise Russia cannot be definitively defeated. I just hope that the West will give Ukraine all the weapons it needs in the next phase, so that tens of thousands of their soldiers donât die in vain on the front just because they donât have planes and tanksâŚ
And the biggest and best news from Today:
Macron gives a great geopolitical blow and confirms that France will deliver the first western tanks to Ukraine âfor victoryâ. It is positioned as a spearhead. It is good for Ukraine. For France. For Europe and for us.
Immediately after - Biden confirms that the US will also deliver Bradley tanks.
What this means ? That Ukraine will be able to launch f___eful offensives in the spring to regain the occupied territories (tanks are essential to break the Russian fortifications). The most logical thing is to attack in the south and cut the front in two, so that there is no more connection between Donbas and Crimea. After - it becomes extremely difficult for the Russians to be able to maintain the front.
And it also means that the Western allies are sure that Ukraine will win, they go for it. They must have received detailed analysis explaining that the Russians have no chance.
Out of desperation - Putin will attack in the north and/or in Kharkov - not that he has any chance, but only that Ukraine cannot send all its troops to break the front in the south. Totally desperate move. Thatâs why he announced millions of bands, the crazy cornered and finished man.
There is something else interesting. How will Olaf Sholz justify not giving tanks? Until now he said that he didnât want to be the first. Now what Argument will he invent - that the French and American tanks are not tanks, they are not in the same category as the Bundeswehr Leopards? will they start debating what it means semantically speaking a panzer?
The sad thing is, I think this too @John78 and yes the West needs to really pump arms into Ukraine now. Maybe they already have secretly as Western intelligence is far superior.
Because he is a pathetic whimp. As a German I am ashamed having him as chancellor. For the record I did not vote for his party
They have been under russian influence for so long, Merkel was even worse. And also Austria now is way worse than any other European Country under russian influence
Totally right. And Scholz is basically just the male Merkel. He did not change anything yetâŚ
It is very difficult and painful to change when a massive share of the economy was/is relying on cheap russian gas and oil, and as an extra burden, on the trade with ChinaâŚ

Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday ordered Moscowâs armed f___es to hold a 36-hour cease-fire in Ukraine this weekend for the Russian Orthodox Christmas holiday, the Kremlin said.
The order follows a proposal by the head of the Russian Orthodox Church, Patriarch Kirill, earlier in the day, which was dismissed by an official in the Ukrainian presidential office as propaganda.
âBased on the fact that a large number of citizens professing Orthodoxy live in the combat areas, we call on the Ukrainian side to declare a cease-fire and give them the opportunity to attend services on Christmas Eve, as well as on the Day of the Nativity of Christ,â according to Putinâs order, addressed to Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu and published on the Kremlinâs website.
Kirill suggested a truce from noon Friday through midnight Saturday, local time. The Russian Orthodox Church, which uses the ancient Julian calendar, celebrates Christmas on Jan. 7 â later than the Gregorian calendar â although some Christians in Ukraine also mark the holiday on that date.
Ukrainian presidential adviser Mykhailo Podolyak dismissed Kirillâs call as âa cynical trap and an element of propaganda.â President Volodymyr Zelenskyy had proposed a Russian troop withdrawal earlier, before Dec. 25, but Russia rejected it.
Well good chance for the Ukrainians to kick some ass
The thing about Sholz and tanks, I believe that Germany has been penetrated. This should not come as too much of a shock when you think that an ex German chancellor (Gerhard Schroder) has been a salesman for Gazprom for years. Plus they donât want a war to be fought on their patch.
Alarmed to hear that former convicted criminal Prigozhin who commands about a quarter of the enemies troops in the form of the Wagner group wants Russian women to be recruited also. This could be bad news for VH if ever he succeeds in replacing Putin although as far as I can see the Federation is being controlled by the FSB which he is not.
There will be alot of _____ing in the Russain camp, so with hangovers they will be sitting ducks.
