Mamoulian War Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Russians released the footage of how they blown up segments of Kakhovka Dam. Notice, that there is absolutely no visible damage to the road over the dam, despite months of HIMARS treatment of the near vicinity of the dam. Because contrary to Russian propaganda claims, all of the hits were performed to the bridges over water outlet on the left bank of Dnepr, which can be seen on the Maxar image, which I have linked few posts ago  3 Sent from my Stone Tablet, using Chisel-a-Talk 2000BC.

Zoraptor Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Fair enough. Guess we won't get the BBC insisting it's a remote controlled Ukrainian boat this time. lol at the commentator authoritatively claiming Russia was trying to destroy the generators though, the power station is on the Russian side of the dam. You're still in whackadoodle land over the casualties though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mamoulian War Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 12 hours ago, Malcador said: Wonder what they used Ukrainian claims, namely Arestovych that the bridge was blown, due to lucky HIMARS strike at the bridge segments which were already mined by explosives by Russia. And therefore it exploded prematurely, while a lot of Russians and their equipment were still on right bank, forced them to leave more equipment behind as planned, and retreat through Kakhovka dam, which was allegedly blow up later and according to Russian plans. Â Â Also the airfield of Chaplynka, near to Crimea, from where were conducted sorties against Ukrainian positions on right bank of Kherson, already got HIMARS treatment. Also first barracks, where were retreating Russian soldiers temporarily stationed on the left bank, were hit by precision strikes, causing two truckloads of cargo 200. https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2022/11/13/7376122/ Â 1 1 Sent from my Stone Tablet, using Chisel-a-Talk 2000BC.

xzar_monty Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 Btw, here's an interesting piece of history which may help explain parts of why the war has so few vehement opponents in Russia at the moment. The comparison isn't entirely fair because the situations also contain many differences, but it's not completely wrong, either. Anyway. In WW2, approximately 18 million people fought for the German Wehrmacht. However, there were also extremely courageous people like Oscar Schindler who did their utmost to help the jews and hinder the Nazis. Historians consider that the total number of these people during the war, in Germany, was approximately one hundred. So that's 18 million vs. 100. Tallies chillingly with the observation that it's very easy to hold to the idea of oneself as a courageous person with high morals -- as long as they are not properly tested. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kurz and the rest of recent Austrian politics just look so odd to me. There is no question I am not educated enough in the matter, but still, it's baffling. It helps to bear in mind that one of the ruling parties at the time was the FPĂ–, a party that officially signed a treaty of "cooperation and friendship" with United Russia (which they recently declared to be null and void, for whatever reason, I can't quite figure it out... ). That being said, to borrow something a poster here used to say all the time: "Don't look at me, I voted for the other guy." I can't stand the Ă–VP and I never once bought into the Kurz hype, and there are plenty of posts from me where I express my rather low opinion of the party, so I'm probably not the best person to ask what the appeal of that Trump in a slim-fit suit was.

Chilloutman Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 I liked Kurz. Well to me appeal of him was that he was only 'right wing' party leader. There are not many of those left in Europe I'm the enemy, 'cause I like to think, I like to read. I'm into freedom of speech, and freedom of choice. I'm the kinda guy that likes to sit in a greasy spoon and wonder, "Gee, should I have the T-bone steak or the jumbo rack of barbecue ribs with the side-order of gravy fries?" I want high cholesterol! I wanna eat bacon, and butter, and buckets of cheese, okay?! I wanna smoke a Cuban cigar the size of Cincinnati in the non-smoking section! I wanna run naked through the street, with green Jell-O all over my body, reading Playboy magazine. Why? Because I suddenly may feel the need to, okay, pal? I've SEEN the future.

BruceVC Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022  I was watching an interesting interview on Bloomberg about how Putins War has created a reality where China and Russia are now on opposite sides of certain traditional geopolitical objectives. The failures of the invasion and Western sanctions have led to Putin trying to destabilize the global economy through things like energy blackmail and grain blockages which he hopes will lead to the West reducing support for Ukraine and insisting on some kind of negotiations. Putin doesnt care about the global economy because he is concerned only about surviving the consequences of invading Ukraine China wants a stable world and global economy because its economy is dependant on that but China also has to consider its previous publicly stated ideological support for Russia. But the reality now is Russia and China have fundamental different objectives, China wants the war to end and Putin wants to survive it both politically and militarily   2 "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.
