"First inspectors, then no doubt “advisors”."

Sounds like an opinion to me. Your narrative is well known. And I dont respect it.

Btw periods go inside quotation marks.
In US English that is normally the case but still depends if it’s part of the quote or the sentence containing a quote. The way he wrote it is not wrong. Lots of literature from around the world that uses British form, where it used to be normal for the punctuation to be outside the quote.

Either way, I would expect better from an MX forum….. Woohoo

Do you believe Putin dying will end the war?
Honest question.

100% yes. Before war only few people knew true intentions. Main players were Putin, Patrushev and Bortnikov. With Putins death whole power piramid will crumble.

Russians just took massive casualties trying to attack village of Pavlovka. Russians say it`s a bloodbath. 155th regiment of russian marines are wiped out. They got in trouble , asked for help, but those who were supposed to come help sabotaged their own tanks and APC`s to not go in to hell.

Russia getting desperate.

Reports have emerged of Russian soldiers abandoning checkpoints in Kherson and moving to the eastern bank of the Dnipro River. In another apparent sign of Russia's huge military weakness, Putin yesterday signed a decree allowing serious convicted criminals to sign up with the Russian army, effectively granting murderers and rapists their freedom if they are willing to fight. Meanwhile, Britain’s Ministry of Defense said yesterday that Russia is deploying so-called ‘blocking units’ which ‘threaten to shoot their own retreating soldiers in order to compel offensives.'

That`s just 155th. 300 dead, who knows how many wounded. 50% of equipment lost.
At the beggining of war 155th had 3000 solders. If we take war time mathematics where 1 dead= 3 wounded, that`s 1200. I`m sure they were understaffed, they lost a lot of men during attack on Kiyv in March.

Not much about this from ukrainian side, but russians are saying huge loses of freshly mobilized men near city of Svatove. Battalion of Russian mobilized were sent to first line of defense. They started to set up camp when they were attacked by drones and artilery. All commanders fled the scene. Out of 570 men, 29 survived, 12 wounded, the rest were eliminated.

https://www.ksl.com/article/50510399/putin-signs-law-to-mobilize-russia…

MOSCOW — Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed a law to conscript citizens with unexpunged or outstanding convictions for murder, robbery, larceny, drug trafficking and other serious crimes under the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation to be called up for military service to mobilize.

This makes it possible to mobilize hundreds of thousands of people who have been sentenced to probation or have recently been released from colonies who were previously forbidden to serve.

The only group of criminals exempted from the decree are those who committed sex crimes against minors, treason, spying or terrorism. Also excluded are those convicted of the attempted assassination of a government official, hijacking an aircraft, extremist activity and illegal handling of nuclear materials and radioactive substances.

President Vladmir Putin said Friday that the Kremlin had already mobilized an additional 18,000 soldiers above its goal of 300,000 to fight in its war in Ukraine from the general male population of Russia.

Earlier this week, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced that all partial mobilization activities, including summons deliveries, had been suspended after officials said the draft's target of recruiting 300,000 personnel had been met.

However, Putin's partial mobilization order will only end when the Russian president signs in an official decree. Until then, he reserves the right to recruit more people into military conscription in the future.

The head of Russia's notorious Wagner forces, Yevgeny Prigozhin, has apparently summoned prisoners from Russian jails to join the mercenary group in fighting the Kremlin's war in Ukraine.

The amendments signed by Putin are unrelated to these alleged recruitments. Instead, the law applies to prisoners who were conditionally convicted or released from colonies. These people usually must remain under the supervision of the authorities for eight to 10 years until the conviction is canceled.

They are not allowed to leave their place of residence and must comply with various restrictions.

City of Kherson has been abandoned by russians. There are no russian officials, no police and no military in the city. No power, TV or internet. Lots of marodierism going on.

Some US mainstream media has been saying it could be a trap… any thoughts on that from your side?

You think they just bailed?

I have read a few reports now that state Russia has lost over 70,000 soldiers? That’s insane if true.

I doubt Russian convicts are in any kind of physical condition to be effective soldiers. Their prisioners are treated like shit. Unlike our country club prisions we have.
They incentiveize people to not want to go to jail.

It`s oficial, Russia can`t hold right side of river Dnepr and retreats to the left side. City of Kherson will be libarated without a fight, just like ukrainians promised several month ago.

This is the guy who russians put in charge of Kherson city. Lately he was very vocal about russians, even sugested minister of defense Shoigu should kill himself. Why am I not surprised he`s dead just as russians retreat?

The demise of dissenters is quite coincidental.

Sorry Maverick, "Fortifying military bases" my ass.
If you look at the video, they had an exercise during september, where they made one bunker into one military base.

Our nation border with Russia is 1300km long. At first stage during the next years, finnish government has plans to do 3km long section the fence like this:


Yep, you read that right, 3km out of 1300km. And they even havent decided the funding of the fence yet. How is this shit even in the news? Good I hate journalism today, everything is click ´n bait fear porn.

All you have to do is read the comments in the Twitter thread where this is stated.
Does no one read the comments to vet these never ending Twitter links??😂🤦‍♂️

1. I read the comments in that Twitter post, saw nothing contradictory.
2. Twitter replies are no more research or credible than the original tweet. It's fucking Twitter.

But yes, it's laughable to think a fence will stop an incoming invasion. But then again half this board wants a fence on our southern border.
