My Prayers go out to anyone caught in the middle of this conflict whether they consider themselves Ukrainian or Russian. I hope for their safety. If you are not native to the region you have no business being there and should leave. If you are a mercenary, politician or a Western Democrat currently in the Ukraine conflict zone just burn in hell.
Please Note the tidbits and opinions I am reporting here I have picked up from many sources and other bloggers. They are not necessarily mine although I do believe them if I write them but if they are my speculation I will admit it and they are designed to be non-biased except when dealing with Democrats.
Latest news I am reading or seeing video of from the Ukrainian conflict reports massive build up of Russian forces inside Belarus as the recently called up reservist are moved into the country. general Speculation is that the Russian regulars and Belarusian forces are mustering to the South and East of the country bordering North of Kiev and that many Ukrainian units are now being moved in that direction as some fighting has already started in the area.
Looks like Russia is opening up a new front and the speculation is that the forces entering Belarus are there now to strengthen the border along NATO countries in case things escalate.
Pray for a massive Republican victories this election made up completely of peace loving adult Republicans for a change.
Several sources are claiming street to street fighting in the city of Bakmut on the Donbas front of the conflict while the Ukrainian offensive along the Far North East appears to have stopped. Some speculate the offensive met a wall of fortifications and defensive tank ditches recently finished by a Russian Engineering Brigade in the area. Only one Ukrainian source is reporting street fighting and so far no Ukrainian sources are reporting any sort of stop to the offensive.
Russia appears to have massively increased the use of drones the last few days all along the front with most of them being targeted on and around Zaporizhzhia area. Russians are claiming there is a concentration of amphibious forces there preparing to move on the nuclear plant and the area is also being used for training. Nothing I could find from the Ukrainians on the area in anyway.
Ukrainian forces launched a heavy assault along the North of the Kherson front. No word as to how it turned out from the Ukrainian side but the Russian's claim it consisted of two Mechanized Infantry Brigades and a supporting tank Battalion. The only to the point reports I heard were Russian who claimed 150 or so Ukrainians killed and the destruction of a fairly large number of Dutch built M113's. Most interesting tidbit I got from this assault was that a number of Russian aircraft were reported as being used. I could not catch the designation of the aircraft but mentioning Russian aircraft has been pretty rare in this conflict to date.
Not much different than we have heard so far. A lot of back and forth but now rumors of massed Russian reinforcements are entering the reports. I hope the ones in charge if this madness come to their senses and make peace soon.
Keep Prepping Everyone!!!
The biggest battle right now os for Bakmeht. That is where the biggest concentration of forces are fighting - the other ones are sporadic fire fights by comparison. Already Russians are advancing through the downtown. It will fall, just as Marioupol did.The Ukrainian army is largely done for now. Russia is now up against NATO or, if you prefer, “mercenaries”.
ReplyDeleteFilthie - I bet we are talking about the same area when I mentioned Bakmut where Russians were reporting street to street fighting earlier. I am still hoping a NATO war will be solidly nixed by the Europeans if not the Americans. We will see I guess but regardless of how the Democrats under O'BiteMe have played the sheep they are anti-war if they and theirs are the ones fighting.
DeleteYep. The two big battles to watch in this are in Bakmeht and Kherzon - spellings will differ. In both places, the combatants are slugging it out, toe to toe with massed troops committed... and the media is not concerned at all with either of them, where the Ukes are losing badly.
DeleteRussian "officials" have stated that they will have to "liquidate" something like 2 million "Nazi" Ukrainians to properly pacify the Ukraine. The Ukrainians reported mass graves of bodies with a bullethole in their skull in the area around Izyum (Izium?). Looks like the Ukrainians don't have a lot to loose by fighting.
ReplyDelete"Mercenary", "volunteer", and "contractor" are thrown around a lot. I don't know the legalities involved, but turn about is fair play. The Russians/Soviets have had "contractors" in Syria, Viet Nam, Egypt, as well as the Ukraine as "Little Green Men". Messy but not un-precedented.
Russia going nuclear would be suicidal. Their homeland has not been threatened. Plus they know from Syria, that the US/West could put a non-nuclear Tomahawk next to their night stand or toilet paper holder with pretty good reliability. The crowds in Moscow would probably be cheering.
I am convinced that Russia went into the Ukraine to secure the gas, oil, and coal reserves so to ensure their almost monopoly on fuel to Europe.
One way or another, it will be a bloody mess. I hope the "Russians" just go home. The wives and mothers will be thankful.
Mike - I also believe kinda as you do that the decision to annex the Donbas and do more than just sit and guard it as they have since 2014 is mostly due to resources. I believe the Russians know what this Winter is going to bring and have allied with the non-Western controlled world to stop the NWO here and now. There is more going on with this conflict than either side is admitting to.
DeleteYou can play that game all day long. Yes, the nazis are alive and well in the Kraine, and no bones about it. When Marioupol fell, the Russikies took hundreds of bus loads of prisoners. In processeing them, the men had to surrender their belongings that they carried with them - and take off their shirts.
DeleteThousands of them sported tats of swastikas, death heads, SS lightening bolts. And yet - even the jews here will align with the Kraine. You won't see the Uke massacres, or nazis, or bad guys in the mass media. I can probably say, without the slightest bit of embellishment or exaggeration... that we in the west have the best propaganda machine ever invented.
If the UN and NATO actually were what they are supposed to be - what we are told they are - the parties would have been at a negoitiating table 7 years ago. The grievances that separated them were not unreasonable. The bad guys here are the globalists, the entitled elite, and Globohomo Inc. Not the Russians.
PP do you follow Larry Johnson at Sonar 21. An ex CIA Intel guy he has a lot of interesting observations.
