Analisys of the 'Ukrainians Burning Effigy of Trump' skit that was promoted here last week.
While I have no idea how the pronunciation angle works but it wouldn't be the first time Russia pulled a skit like that.  Did Ukrainian Soldiers Light a Figure of a US President on Fire? |

We're getting hit with KABs pretty regularly here. There has definitely been an increase since the new aid packages were delivered/announced. |

Let the Ukranian unit commander handle it, IF it was really Ukranian soldiers. It reminds me of a joke from the Vietnam (or Korea, or WW2 or?). A US soldier lost his life after devising a way to cause the enemy to give away their positions. He would yell, "Ho Chi Minh is a M'f'r". The enemy would react noisily, and the US units would inflict heavy casualties. He tried this one too many times, and a voice on the Viet Cong side replied, "LBJ is an SOB". When the US guy stood up to shake hands in agreement, he was run over by a truck. |

The process of destroying a Ukrainian BEC with missiles by fire from a machine gunner from the landing compartment of a Ka-29 helicopter.
At first, the boat was immobilized, after which one of the bullets caused the detonation of the R-73 missile located above. Footage of the use of two Chinese Desertcross-1000 all-terrain vehicles to transport infantry to storm a Ukrainian stronghold. Under the cover of fire and a smoke screen, two vehicles successfully reached the dismount line, unloaded the squad and turned back, and the infantry began attacking enemy positions. In the Bakhmut direction, 240-mm self-propelled mortars 2S4 "Tulpan" destroyed an important bridge across the Seversky Donets - Donbass canal. The next day, the Ukrainian Armed Forces wanted to fill up the crater, but the dump truck was discovered by quadcopter operators from the 98th Guards Airborne Division and burned with grenades. The crew of the 240-mm self-propelled mortar 2S4 "Tulpan" works with adjustable mines at the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Chasov Yar. |

If UA soldiers really burned up an effigy of Trump (I have doubts) then it was likely instigated by someone from the US. "Hey, did you guys hear how Trump is pro-Russia and wants to cut all aid to Ukraine?" Which is false but I dont think we are allowed to mention politics in this thread so. |

I'm glad both threads are up and running and I personally check both. I guess this thread became the strictly news about Ukraine thread while the other is more encompassing covering seemingly unrelated news and info of other conflicts and the associated politics behind it. Basically like a WWII thread that also covers the news about Italy, Japan, and the other allies of Germany. |

Kharkiv is a hot place to be. sounds like a push is happening there --------------------------------------- Ukraine war latest: Russia launches new offensive targeting Kharkiv Oblast https://kyivindependent.com/ukraine-war-latest-russia-launches-new-offensive-targeting-kharkiv-oblast/ Key developments on May 10: Zelensky: Russia launches new offensive in Kharkiv Oblast Media: Fighting ongoing near several Kharkiv Oblast villages, Russia storming Pletenivka Military: Russia unsuccessfully tries to break through in Donetsk, Luhansk oblasts Commander: 'Critical phase' in Russia's war to come in next 2 months Biden approves $400 million defense aid package for Ukraine Source: Military intelligence drones strike oil refinery in Russia's Kaluga Oblast President Volodymyr Zelensky announced on May 10 that Russian forces had begun a new offensive operation targeting Kharkiv Oblast. "Russia began a new wave of offensive actions in (Kharkiv's) direction. Ukraine met (Russian forces) there with our troops, brigades, and artillery," Zelensky said during the press briefing with Slovak President Zuzana Caputova in Kyiv. Moscow recently intensified attacks against Kharkiv amid reports that Russia might plan to attack the city as part of a wider offensive in the coming months. The Defense Ministry earlier in the day reported that the Russian military attempted a breakthrough of Ukraine's line of defense in Kharkiv Oblast. Zelensky said that Russian troops could mobilize assault units further in the region. The president added that the Ukrainian command had known about a potential offensive in this direction and had been preparing. "Now, there is a fierce battle going on in (Kharkiv's) direction," Zelensky said. As of 1:30 p.m. local time, at least two people were killed, and five were injured amid intense Russian attacks in Kharkiv Oblast. Russian forces attempted to break through Ukrainian defense lines at around 5 a.m. local time, according to the Defense Ministry. The Russian attack has been held off, but the battles of varying intensity have continued, the ministry's statement read. Kharkiv Oblast Governor Oleh Syniehubov said earlier the attack "does not pose a threat" to the regional center of Kharkiv, Ukraine's second-largest city. Russian forces failed to take Kharkiv in the first weeks of the full-scale invasion despite the fact the city lies less than 30 kilometers from the Russian border. Russian troops are storming the outskirts of the border village of Pletenivka in Kharkiv Oblast, Ukrainska Pravda reported on May 10, citing an undisclosed military source. The Kyiv Independent could not verify the claims. Ukraine's Defense Ministry reported earlier in the day that Russian forces launched an attempt to break through in Kharkiv Oblast. President Volodymyr Zelensky later confirmed that Russia was carrying out new offensive operations in the area. Pletenivka lies around 2 kilometers from the border with Russia. Ukrainian soldiers are also blocking the advance of Russian troops near the village of Hatyshche while active fighting continues, according to Ukrainska Pravda's source. "Active firefights are ongoing near the village of Krasne. The Defense Forces are inflicting fire on the enemy in this combat area," the source told Ukrainska Pravda. When asked by the Kyiv Independent about the situation near these settlements, Nazar Voloshyn, the spokesperson of the Khortytsia group of forces, said he could not confirm or deny these reports. "I cannot say any more information now in the interest of operation. There will be information, but later," Voloshyn said. After reports that Russian troops had allegedly captured several villages in Kharkiv Oblast as they attempt to push toward Vovchansk, Governor Oleh Syniehubov said that border settlements are in a "grey zone" and hostilities are ongoing but that no ground was lost at that moment. ---------------------------- |

What are some items you guys could use. Well we always have a need for tools and things in the shop. Gloves, headlamps, etc. A decent crescent wrench would be nice. Medical supplies are always good to have. I have three med kits now. One in the vehicle, on my battle belt, and one in my go bag. The guys and myself appreciate all the help and thoughts about us. Things have been pretty active with the air alerts. I see reports of lots of aviation activity back in Kharkiv. Dnipro has been pretty quiet. It feels weird not hearing explosions every day. Almost forgot there's a war on. I spent the day yanking out some diesel/oil soaked carpet in my truck. The previous owner used her pretty hard on vehicle recoveries at the various fronts he worked at. I also ordered some new road tires for the front. She has 33/12.5/15s, so there are fewer options. With all of the steering and alignment work we just completed, I think she won't chew up these tires. I'd like to share some photos of the build one day, but for now it's an easily identifiable vehicle. Just think old school Jap truck, 4x4, extra lighting, and plenty of other off road goodies. I really enjoy driving it, and the diesel engine runs great with the fresh turbo. She gets some looks too. My neighbor, who is Ukrainian, actually asked about joining our team. It's possible, and I think it's cool that Ukrainians are joining the foreigner team. He'd make the 3rd one if it works out.  |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By CB1: People are really getting war weary. at least I am. I'm also finding myself more concerned with internal threats from the southern border. lots of my friends at work are more worried about jobs and inflation. I'll mention a burning russian tank video and nobody cares anymore. Endless wars are so tiring. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/147/Tiresome_png-1082150-1087972.jpg War weary? Most conflicts do not significantly impact the lives of the average person in the U.S. Without reporting on them, many would not even be much on the public consciousness at all, and some of them historically were not really all that known about at the time or since. The U.S. has been engaged in some sort of a conflict or another for all but a handful of years since independence. What's actually affecting the public are the successful efforts of anti-war political groups and foreign influence operations intended to undermine U.S. efforts. Of course, poor decisions or execution by administrations give them fodder to use. This has been a big thing since the Cold War starting in the Vietnam era, as communist IO successfully fomented a major anti-war movement and anti-war sentiments among crucial members of the press and leadership. More recent organizations like Code Pink are descendants of such efforts and it is no coincidence that much of the recent anti-war sentiment on the Right is so similar, because it is largely the product of the IO of communist or former communist countries, like Russia and China. Same playbook, different target. |
