  1. This is what I mean about propaganda and misinformation. The reporting in our media is totally corrupt and unreliable. Russia invaded with an army 3-4 times smaller than their opponent. In July they withdrew much of their army and relied on the separatists. It is actually natural that eventually they would struggle to hold on what they took, and order strategic withdrawals. However they are planning to play 'hardball' in the winter. Neither side is conducting the war rationally, enormous incompetence on both sides. However Russia still has vast material superiority and no serious shortages compared to the Ukrainians/NATO. Basically this war will not end well for anyone.
  2. This is basically the Ukrainian propaganda version of military events.

  4. US/UK media/intelligence services claimed that the Russians would run out of missiles in April 2022. So far there is no sign of them running out of missiles and AFV at all. There are a lot of social media footage of Russian armor and ballistic missiles moving around on rail in Russia and the Ukraine right now.
  5. The military situation appears to be near a short-term draw on both sides, with Ukraine having initiative. However they burned through a lot of their reserves and ammunition stockpiling/expenditure of western weapons. If Ukraine scores another operational victory the Russians may escalate with chemical and biological weapons as currently most of their army is rebuilding in Russia. It would really surprise me if they use tactical nukes as that's not their combat doctrine. All of this is due to Russia's pullback of their army in July. They are preparing for a winter offensive as they integrate 300,000 reservists and gathered tens of thousands of volunteers. If this offensive comes this winter my guess is that it will be late, maybe in 2023. The Russian strategy appears to be that they want to be successful in the defense while deploying the minimum of forces in the Ukraine. They want to wear out the Ukrainian assault reserves and western weapons, and by the time the Russian army returns they will have weakened their enemy while having an army 2- 3 times larger than the one they invaded the year before.

    there is buzz that Man of Steel 2 with Henry Cavil will be made.
  8. There are two military narratives going on- one largely led by Ukraine's state propaganda apparatus (reinforced by US and UK intelligence and mass media) and one by the Russians. The two military narratives couldn't be more different. The one we are getting is absurd and makes little military sense. The Russian narrative actually makes more military sense. The information environment on both sides however, so incredibly corrupt that it's often hard to figure out what is real and what is fabricated. What is certain is that the war is incredibly bizarre and is run irrationally by both sides. It will have no winners, just losers.

  12. what did he do now? I find it interesting that he comes across as impulsive at times (not good for Tesla investors) but is so successful that the fallouts are absorbed. But one day he may cross the Rubicon and make a serious mistake.
  13. Both shows are going to end with massive cliffhangers. We have the rise of mordor for Rings S2 and given the rate of progress, the war for HOD will be also slated for Season 2. Rings Season 2 is slated for release in 2 years, so it's going to be long I'm afraid : (.
