Is something going on in Ukraine?

Leaked audio reveals embarrassing U.S. exchange on Ukraine, EU

A conversation between a State Department official and the U.S. ambassador to Ukraine that was posted on YouTube revealed an embarrassing exchange on U.S. strategy for a political transition in that country, including a crude American swipe at the European Union.

www.reuters.com

Here is what Putin directly stated. Why wasn’t it said about all fuck ups from all communist countries. Not a single fuckin commie country that did not have mass fraud going on. And standards of live has gone down in a major way! So so say UA suffered of this disease is only half truth. Does no one remember the amount of arms being sold from Russia? The fuckin merchant of death ring a bell? Again I hate half truth with a passion. But some leaders were able to tackle these issue with brut police force. Either my way or the high way type mentality. You have no voice if it’s against me. And we are seeing more and more of this shit flood our gov here state side. Again we are dealing with two extremes. No one wants to meet in the middle. And it’s not even possible. So here we are.

What is well documented in this video which is interesting for sure, is the battle for natural resources at the expense of the people living in UA. But we are too fuckin blind to see it. Take off the blinders see what UA has to offer from its nature, then we talkin. Till then the convo is useless.

 

[232593]

Another front like the north out of Belarus? Not in the next few months they do not have enough troops in Belarus maybe around fall... maybe. I don't think Lucashenko wants to get more involved than he already is.

I think the lines are going to stay fairly static, hold what they have and play the long game.

I don't see Ukraine pushing to the sea, splitting Zaporizhia. I don't see a blitz like Russia made last year. Everyone is too dug in and both sides are being supported. Makes any advance... not easy

As far as I can tell from the information I’m able to look at I agree that Putin will likely hold what he has. I think his long game MIGHT be to hold in the south and after losses in personnel and equipment are re-constituted (that may take a while) I think he will eventually push west a bit past Odessa and landlock Ukraine. Another factor that I have not heard mentioned is Russian Maskirovka and how it pertains to what various think tanks are assessing what Putin has the capacity to do.

are you vaccinated?
pretty much everyone participating knows it is always about exploiting natural resources, and who gets the money.
why do you think we partnered with the uk and saudis to arm terrorists to overthrow syria?
british petroleum planned a gas pipeline from the gulf through syria and turkey into the eu, but needed a sunni friendly regime in syria.
trump put an end to the cia program to arm and train isis and their affiliates in syria.
that is how they were stopped...we stopped paying them.

Point is it does not point out why UA and the west is only at fault. I'm advocating for everyone at fault. Power, Money, and Natural resources all at play but its a one sided story? I have been tryin to get an answer to why Putin did have a right to invade UA. All we see are things about people getting beat up on. Then Putin talks about corruption in UA after the fall of the USSR as if it was only UA. How about the fact all ex soviet states had corruption to the next level. Its why I said remember the Merchant of Death? He was RU selling RU arms!!!! Hell RU generals where selling from tanks to ships even during that time. But this documentary focused on to one point as if UA was the only one at fault. When in reality the corruption cancer was in place in all countries. And its why I stated that Putin rules with an iron fist. His way or the highway. And whatever he can run his country how he wants to. Their problem not ours. Had the roles been reversed would most of us here look at the situation as we do now. If UA's people in RU where the ones eating shit that is. Would we agree with invasion of RU? I say leave each nation to its own shit. All in all, I only see excuses for territory gains for what the land has to offer. And at this I'm not a fan of it, but cant blame the parties involved haha.

And no not vaccinated with gov bullshit.

The administration of U.S. president Joe Biden on Thursday announced the Strykers as part of a $2.5-billion military aid package that also includes 59 M-2s plus armored trucks, artillery, air-defenses and thousands of tons of ammunition.​

​

The Strykers and Bradleys, when paired with another 50 M-2s the Biden administration previously pledged, “will provide Ukraine with two brigades of armored capability,” the Pentagon stated.​

She says that it’s “complicated.”

That’s because she doesn’t know what she is doing and can’t tell anyone else what she’s doing.

The solution, for us, was simple a few years ago. We drilled for our own oil and didn’t have to worry about Russian or Middle East oil production.

Just looking at it economically, Putin has amassed more allies and supply lines than one would think. He is supplying countries with the resources that he says the WEF says they shouldn’t have but they need in order to keep their citizenry from dying or starving to death. “Benevolent” trade breeds fierce loyalty. It’s a strange world we live in when the ones relied upon are “reformed” communists.

Just waiting for the false flag. They have tried a couple already and they were too obvious for the public to agree with sending troops. I'd say that there's maybe a 15 to 20% support right now for Ukraine by the people. So they are going to need something big to blame Russia and get the population to go along with sending troops to catch bullets for Ukraine.

Unless the west pulls the plug on Ukraine, I dont think Russia is crossing the Dniper. If they try to set up any bridge heads, it will rain precision guided fire. We already saw that when Ukraine successfully pushed a Russian retreat back to the East bank. Russians are not Water people... I dont see how they’d be able to make a Naval/Marine style landings of any significant force.

I think they wanted Odessa, but I do not see that happening now.

Russia made a massive miscalculation underestimating the wests willingness to support Ukraine militarily. I much as I personally disagree with all the bull shit surrounding this conflict, I still believe the collective west is capable of stopping Russian advance.

What grinds my gears is this never needed to happen. We never should have pushed this conflict. The suffering and destruction caused is NOT worth any long term benefit.

Funny thing is that decades ago they had the doctrine, equipment, and enabling formations to to large scale wet gap crossings. But it seems, based on recent failed attempts, that they either ignored their doctrine or don’t have the F/MF BDES& BNs needed to succeed at that sort of task. That and their AF is not as active as it should be. And they may have problems synchronizing effect with operations at the operational echelon and bellow.

I agree that this never should have happened. What is of concern is what is going to happen to us when the Russians decide to poke the west back for supplying weapons & acting as the UK fires cell?

''Kiev’s star mercenary threatens to ‘burn Ukrainian army to the ground’ – media

Emese Fajk protected her position by blackmailing senior commanders, Daily Mail reported
A notorious Australian TV star who joined Ukraine’s International Legion blackmailed Kiev’s military commanders as she resisted several attempts to kick her out of the legion, according to recordings released by Daily Mail on Saturday.

The secretly recorded tapes appear to show that Emese Fajk, who became the foreign legion’s communications director after fleeing Australia following a fraud scandal on a TV reality show, threatened to leak damaging information on the Ukrainian army should she be expelled over an unauthorized overseas trip.

According to the recordings, to avoid such an outcome she blackmailed Ukrainian general Andrey Ordinovich, who went under the callsign ‘Zeus.’ She said that Ukrainian officials “wanted to deport [her] for desertion” and “terminate her contract.”

Fajk explained that her “only luck was that before this I spoke to ‘Zeus’, and they couldn’t touch me. I told Zeus if I’m not coming back to this thing, I’m going to go public on everything I know and why I’m being removed.”

Corruption scandal in Ukraine's 'International Legion:'
The legionnaire described the general as a “super stand-up guy,” adding, however, that he understands that if she were to start talking about what she had seen, “it’s going to burn the army to the ground.”

She went on to say that this leak would be “very damaging for the army if it became public knowledge: the corruption, the s**t going missing, the treatment foreigners get… if I start talking about this the army is going to fall apart with all the internal investigations that [would] have to be started.”

Moreover, according to “confidential dossiers” seen by the outlet, the ex-TV star is also allegedly behind the disappearance of medical supplies to the tune of $2.5 million. The documents also allege that she had been stealing donations meant to support Ukraine in its conflict with Russia.

Fajk has been accused of several instances of fraud around the world, most notably her failed attempt to purchase a $4.2 million home at an auction on an Australian reality TV show called ‘The Block’ by allegedly providing false receipts of bank transfers.''

Ex-Russian Commander Explains Why Putin's Success in Ukraine Is Impossible​

Story by Andrew Stanton •

Igor Girkin, a former Russian commander, explained on Sunday why Russian President Vladimir Putin's success in Ukraine is "impossible" after nearly 11 months of combat.
Above, an image of Russian President Vladimir Putin is seen alongside an inset of former Russian Commander Igor Girkin. Girkin on Sunday said low morale among Russian troops makes it "impossible" for the Kremlin to attain successful offensives in Ukraine nearly 11 months after Putin launched the "special military operation."© Contributor/Getty Images; Contributor/Getty Images
Putin ordered the invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022, aiming for a quick victory against his Eastern European neighbor, widely perceived as having a smaller, less capable military than Moscow. However, Ukraine responded with a stronger-than-expected defense effort that has been bolstered by Western military aid, blunting Russian military gains
Putin's invasion exposed weaknesses within Moscow's military, opening up opportunity for Ukraine to launch its own counteroffensive in the fall. During these counteroffensives, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zeleknsky's troops retook thousands of square miles of formerly occupied territory—as Putin increasingly relies on the Wagner Group, a Russian paramilitary unit, to achieve new victories, such as in the battle for Soledar earlier this month.
However, the Biden administration has pushed back on Russia's assertions that it now fully controls Soledar. During a telephone briefing last week, John Kirby, National Security Council coordinator for Strategic Communications at the White House, said that "we do not assess that [the Russians] have actually unilaterally taken both cities," referring to Soledar and Bakhmut.
Girkin, who rose to notoriety for his military role in the 2014 annexation of Crimea, revealed in a Telegram post on Sunday the top factor inhibiting Russian success in Ukraine.
The former Russian commander pointed to low morale among Putin's troops as making success "impossible" for the Russian leader.
"The majority of mobilized (and most of the cadre) servicemen of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation lack the motivation to sacrifice when conducting hostilities against the Armed Forces of Ukraine, since the goals of the war are not only not explained by the authorities, but even not officially defined at all," Girkin wrote.
Although Girkin, a self-described Russian nationalist, does not oppose the Ukraine war, he has grown increasingly critical of Kremlin leadership in recent months as the war stagnates. He added that, because Russia has officially classified the invasion as a "special military operation" rather than a war, leaders are limited in their disciplinary actions.


He explained Russia can deploy elite units for successful attacks "only in very narrow, limited areas," but a larger offensive would require numerical and technical superiority over Ukraine. Still, he said these conditions are "not a guarantee" when faced with "the most persistent and professional" Ukrainian troops.
Due to low morale, an offensive could only be "saved" by Ukrainian troops being in an even worse state, according to Girkin.
"Faced with persistent and skillful enemy resistance, such an offensive will inevitably die out due to the impossibility of the command to force its troops to go into battle with the necessary degree of military prowess," he wrote.

Military Experts Point to Low Morale for Russian Failures​

Girkin is not the only expert to attribute low morale to Russia's failure to achieve substantial goals in Ukraine. Morale was seen as a key weakness among Russian troops for months, and has only been made worse by the winter.
"The weather itself is likely to see an increase in rainfall, wind speed and snowfall. Each of these will provide additional challenges to the already low morale of Russian forces, but also present problems for kit maintenance," the United Kingdom's Defense Ministry said in November.
The Institute for the Study of War (ISW), a U.S.-based think think, also assessed last November that morale among Russian troops was "exceedingly low."
"Significant losses on the battlefield, mobilization to the front lines without proper training, and poor supplies have led to cases of desertion," the ISW wrote.

Ex-Russian Commander Explains Why Putin's Success in Ukraine Is Impossible​

Igor Girkin, a former Russian commander, explained on Sunday why Russian President Vladimir Putin's success in Ukraine is "impossible" after nearly 11 months of combat.

Putin ordered the invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022, aiming for a quick victory against his Eastern European neighbor, widely perceived as having a smaller, less capable military than Moscow. However, Ukraine responded with a stronger-than-expected defense effort that has been bolstered by Western military aid, blunting Russian military gains
Putin's invasion exposed weaknesses within Moscow's military, opening up opportunity for Ukraine to launch its own counteroffensive in the fall. During these counteroffensives, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zeleknsky's troops retook thousands of square miles of formerly occupied territory—as Putin increasingly relies on the Wagner Group, a Russian paramilitary unit, to achieve new victories, such as in the battle for Soledar earlier this month.
However, the Biden administration has pushed back on Russia's assertions that it now fully controls Soledar. During a telephone briefing last week, John Kirby, National Security Council coordinator for Strategic Communications at the White House, said that "we do not assess that [the Russians] have actually unilaterally taken both cities," referring to Soledar and Bakhmut.
Girkin, who rose to notoriety for his military role in the 2014 annexation of Crimea, revealed in a Telegram post on Sunday the top factor inhibiting Russian success in Ukraine.
The former Russian commander pointed to low morale among Putin's troops as making success "impossible" for the Russian leader.
"The majority of mobilized (and most of the cadre) servicemen of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation lack the motivation to sacrifice when conducting hostilities against the Armed Forces of Ukraine, since the goals of the war are not only not explained by the authorities, but even not officially defined at all," Girkin wrote.
Although Girkin, a self-described Russian nationalist, does not oppose the Ukraine war, he has grown increasingly critical of Kremlin leadership in recent months as the war stagnates. He added that, because Russia has officially classified the invasion as a "special military operation" rather than a war, leaders are limited in their disciplinary actions.


He explained Russia can deploy elite units for successful attacks "only in very narrow, limited areas," but a larger offensive would require numerical and technical superiority over Ukraine. Still, he said these conditions are "not a guarantee" when faced with "the most persistent and professional" Ukrainian troops.
Due to low morale, an offensive could only be "saved" by Ukrainian troops being in an even worse state, according to Girkin.
