"Watching a German general analysing battle of Kursk on YouTube wasn't on my 2024 bingo card."

More than a week Nazis are freely making lampshades out of Soviet citizens in Kursk oblast and Pukin is pretending nothing is happening. If SCHMO is still going according to plan, does it mean that OUR GREAT CHRISTIAN LEADER planned for his subjects to be turned into lampshades by blood-thirsty Zalensky regime Joo Nazi goons? SAY IT AIN'T SO!!!

you guys remind me of retarded republicans in 2002 who were chest pounding wanting more troops in Iraq. now you do same stupid stuff but with Ukraine. We need to just cut it off and leave it. Ukraine is not our responsibility and we shouldn’t pay taxes for military industrial complex neocons to war profiteering (the group that installed Biden puppet). friends look in the mirror and you will see previous fools. i don’t mean this in judgemental ways. i’ve been a fool plenty. but i see the government lie and see through bullshit sale this one time. don’t fall for it fellow patnetters. this is the new neocon war.

Ukraine’s invasion (of Kursk) was a major strategic blunder, which will accelerate its defeat. The key determinant of success in a war of attrition is the casualty-exchange ratio, not capturing territory, which Western commentators obsess over. The casualty-exchange ratio in the Kursk offensive decisively favors Russia for two reasons. First, it has caused relatively few Russian casualties because Ukraine’s army effectively overran undefended territory. Second, once alerted to the attack, Moscow quickly brought massive airpower to bear against the advancing Ukrainian troops, who were in the open and easy to strike. Unsurprisingly, the attacking forces lost many soldiers and a huge proportion of their equipment.

To make matters worse, Kyiv removed top-notch combat units from the front lines in eastern Ukraine — where they are desperately needed — and made them part of the Kursk strike force. This move is tilting the already lopsided casualty-exchange ratio on that critically important front further in Russia’s favor.

If Kursk blows, it irradiates most of Eurasia, and the rest falls into the Pacific Ocean -BFD.

The existing nuclear power plant that the Russians captured and presumably trashing (because that's what Russians do) hasn't blown up yet. And it won't because it's shut down. The same thing will happen at the Kursk nuclear power plant. It will get shut down if Ukranian troops get close enough, assuming that it hasn't been shut down already.

In Proxy War news, yesterday the Washington Post ran a surprising story headlined, “Ukraine’s offensive derails secret efforts for partial cease-fire with Russia, officials say.” The sub-headline explained, “The warring countries were set to hold indirect talks in Qatar on an agreement to halt strikes on energy and power infrastructure, according to officials.”

Now they tell us. It was a ‘secret’ because media never reported it till now. Apparently, Ukraine and Russia were planning to meet, to discuss de-escalating their tit-for-tat energy strikes, which Russia is clearly winning, since the lights are still on in Moscow while most of Ukraine is sitting around in the dark.

As they say in Westeros, winter is coming. Astonishingly, WaPo admitted Ukraine is on the breaking point:

"We have one chance to get through this winter, and that's if
the Russians won't launch any new attacks on the grid," an
Ukrainian official who was briefed on the talks said.

The same official explained, “energy is definitely critical for us; we’re facing free fall if there’s no light and heat in the winter.”

Facing free fall. Not literally. He meant it’s lights out, comrades. Game over.

Why would Russia want to agree to stop its effective infrastructure attacks? WaPo didn’t say. Nevertheless, the parties had been optimistic about a potential deal. WaPo’s anonymous diplomat said, “Kyiv and Moscow had both signaled their readiness to accept the arrangement in the lead-up to the summit.”

But then Ukraine invaded Russia last week. Now Moscow says “nyet.”

The Ukrainians seem to have missiled themselves in the foot again. Their ‘daring invasion’ into a small rural district in western Russia isn’t likely to produce any benefit, and has scuttled the delicate ‘secret negotiations:’

Military analysts have expressed skepticism that Ukrainian
forces can maintain control of the Russian territory. Moscow
has also continued to make gains in eastern Ukraine's
Donetsk region and has not diverted troops from there to
defend the new Ukrainian assault.

If the Ukrainians had somehow managed to grab the Kursk Nuclear Power Plant ahead of these secret talks, they might have held a royal card to play. But they never even got close.

Better late than never in abandoning this lost cause ...

Ukraine will have to develop an education plan for children in the Kursk region, - Deputy Minister of Education

"If the situation continues until the end of September, we will have to draw up an education plan for minors in those territories," Vinnitsky said.

Good man! Education is important (until the puplis are turned into lampshades and their hair is stuffed into mattresses while Pukin is watching and babbling about "provocation", that is). 👹

The Beginning Of The End? Germany To Ban All New Ukraine Military Aid

Zero hedgehog has shat the bed. Again. All Ze Germanz did was they decided to switch from financing the aid from German taxpayer's funds to using Soviet frozen assets instead (not directly, but as collateral for a loan, but the eventual fate of it is pretty much set).

Most Russian casualties are not Russian.

This answers one of mysteries socal2 brings up.

https://english.elpais.com/international/2022-10-07/putins-conscription-drive-targets-russias-ethnic-minorities.html

Basically, Chechens, Tartars, Turkics, Buryats, etc. have been used as cannon fodder. Their families get a goat.

So you see @socal2 , I was correct in calling out your ~300,000 Russian casualties figure as bullshit. It's because most are not Russian. The body bags have been sent to Ulan Ude and Grozny more than to St. Petersburg or Moscow.

YOU WERE correct, however, in mentioning those numbers in terms of Russian Army losses, if somewhat inflated.

This has benefits other than the above. By killing off the young men of these groups, Moscow stamps off future rebellion in their home regions for about 15 - 20 years, too. And, these regions have been outbreeding the Russian ethnos for years now, but no more.

And they can have Russian veterans colonize these areas after the war, too. Lot of young unmarried/widowed Dagastani pussy to make Russian babies with, after all. Like what the Chinese are doing to the Uighurs.

This Dagastani beauty doesn't know it yet, but she'll be pushing out the half-slavic children of Cpl. (ret) Anton Russiancocksy in the coming years:

Planting a small nuke in a nuke reactor is a way of disguising the use of a nuke. That's what 'Security Experts' did at Fukushima to blow the reactor during the tsunamai and earthquake (triggered by other nukes offshore at vulnerable fault lines). The Fukushima reactor did not blow spontaneously as alleged. The earthquake, tsunami and Fukushima were blackmail of Japan using ecoterrorism. They were artificially induced.

The Beirut harbor explosion a couple of years ago was a nuke. The MSM etc. never cover these as such because it would mean 'gloves off ' nuclear war, but small nukes it seems have been used in various ways in recent years. They can make them smaller with minimal radiation it appears.

They are like DEW weapons, which nobody wants to acknowledge but have been around now for some time.

Patrick says

All 3 wrong, lol.

We're still at huge suplus of aid vs frozen and soon to be confuiscated Soviet assets, the inflation here was caused by $4T Covid scam, not $60B arms deliveries and after third week of Pukin losing ground in Kursk and pretending nothing is happening the WW3 masturbators should just stop masturbating - it ain't habbening.

PS. No, sorry, one is partially correct: there is a very high inflation in the warmonger's country ruled by illegitimate Moscow regime. 25% inflation actoss tge board and consumer and upward of 40% on food and energy. All caused by the aggressive imperial war they started.



And now Puking comes out and outright refuses to negotiate. What happened to "immediate ceasation of hostilities according to the reality on the ground"?

Yet they still act like paranoid and murderous buffoons needing walls and buffer border countries to protect them from the “evils” of the West.

We still don't know what Hunter was doing for Burisma. We do know the deep state was willing to impeach Trump for whatever it was.

I don't like either party in this war. Ultimately it's stupid. Too much money, material, lives and destruction has been spent. For what? Neither party has outlined an end game. On paper it looks like two short buses got into an argument and started a street fight with retards stumbling out the door.

If nothing has been done about Hunter at this point, nothing ever will be. At the end of the day if there's something legally provable just prove it. And no, I'm not saying Hunter isn't shady as fuck, but there's legal means to go after him. No one has apparently in any meaningful way. Joe is still probably sleeping right now. Kamala is hiding. We literally don't have an executive branch at the moment. This election cannot come fast enough....

We have Ohomen bot, Nomograph bot, now the bead is on socal2 bot?

Yup.

Rumor has it price of these has been in an
absolute freefall for the last 3 weeks because of the flood of new supply entering the market.

When your beloved police state can't protect you from becoming a lampshade, but still automatically tickets you when you're running from the bloodthirsty Nazis:

"traffic cameras are still operating in Kursk, and people are receiving speeding fines when trying to outrun FPVs [first-person-view attack drones]. Some have resorted to covering their license plates but the traffic police force them to remove them.

"

Don't mind the fact the very same state somehow has enough troops to attack some foreign country while you're being chased like rabbit by Nazi invaders in your own homeland.

I'm sure Hunter was shaking down the Ukrainians like he was doing with the Chinese and several other countries. Not surprising that the Biden Administration and portions of the Deep State went after Trump to protect the Bidens.

Simple as that. No deeper or grand conspiracy.

We've had the socal2 bot for some time now.

Dude, you know socal2 is not a bot. There is an attempt to at least try and say EV's are the future. The Ukraine thing I kind of give no shits about anymore. Most Americans don't even know what's going on. Probably for the better. I ain't gonna agree with everyone here, but socal is generally reasonable. Not like Iwog that would throw a hissy fit if you question a thing.

I actually think Nomo is real. Just a troll.

Ohomen is real too. I just think he's elderly and doesn't understand the internet all that well. Or it's the South African thing. South African woman I know is a mega, mega bimbo. Either way for the love of anything, fucking do a paragraph break in posts. I don't even care if it's copy paste bull shit. No one can read it. If I can't read it on a computer, I'm sure as shit not reading it on a phone.

Apparently South Africans were not tought (on purpose) proper writing. We all make errors, but Ohomen's blobs of text is utterly annoying. But I think he's real.

When discussing the ongoing war in Ukraine, the prelate said it is essential to see the war from both parties’ perspectives and not simply divide it into the “good” and the “bad” sides.

“There is a history and aggressive politics from the United States and NATO, which provoked this war.”

“And they wanted it from the beginning,” he said.

“I have never seen such a promotion of war by politics in Europe,” Bishop Eleganti stated. “It’s really crazy.”

“And there are powerful people with [a lot of] money who have their own hidden agenda.”

Wohhhhh, baby! Too heavy on the red pill, there, get it back to first gear. You might be mistaken for a Russkie Loving Kommie. Or is it Nazi. Or is it Moloch defier. Or is it Orthodox Christian Stooge. I'm confused.

I think this is to cover up how easy it was for the Russians to shoot it down, instead.

Lockheed-Martin still makes and sells F-16s. If it got out what a POS it is, well...that wouldn't be good for sales now, would it?

You think Ukrainians even know how to fly a Cessna with a bottle of vodka between their legs? Eurasia is completely inept at anything. Ukraine won't "win" but either side is a shit show. War of attrition. Russia has more bodies. They win.

Awful song, but whatever: https://youtu.be/04F4xlWSFh0?si=N6WhHV9bjAAxeTn8
