Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By ITCHY-FINGER: That's probably a very rosy estimate. But if it's even 50% of that, it's still an amazing disaster for Russia. Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By ITCHY-FINGER: Originally Posted By Hking: The fact that Russia has lost over a THOUSAND tanks and THREE THOUSAND APC's is just mind boggling to me.

The Oryx guy goes through all the video to confirm the tallies I’d bet he’s only off maybe +\- 100 tanks Probably not far off on the dead. And they don’t know probably how many wounded die being evacuated to russia. And I’m sure there’s no trauma air evacuation like the NATO countries would do from the battlefield with C-17s. They just linger on RR passenger cars or buses until the expire. So many a couple thousand more wouldn’t be out of the question. |

They absolutely see their servicemen as consumables. Many people would be kind of freaked out by losing 3 hammers. I have a LOT more than 3 hammers. |

Funny how one could hear the crickets chirp from the conservatives bitching about Ukraine when Trump signed over almost 40 billion a year for the next 10 years to Israel. I was gonna say 99% but I didnt want you to feel bad. Probably closer to 99.9% democrat corruption in Ukraine is responsible for conservative skepticism. Anyway, have you ever met a conservative to know why they dont believe the same BS as you? What Kremlin OP's are you referring to? That Butina whore hanging out with NRA folks? 150K they spend on fakebook ads against both Trump and Hillary? Tell me about all those Kremlin OP's comrade. Did Putin take out a full-page ad in your hometown newspaper? The American media and the political system is totally corrupt and Russia, Putin, Kremlin, etc. had nothing to do with it. Your democrats did it. As for your assertion that there is zero evidence of demo-commie corruption...WTF was Hunter (and all the other kids) getting paid millions for? Do you really think that your corrupt DOJ can sit on this forever? And conservatives have been complaining about the billions sent to Israel. Personally I think it's money well spent but that has zero to do with Ukraine!!! |

This is why I encourage people to know WHY you believe what you believe. Read enlightenment era and founding documents, source materials, historical and scholarly works, etc and then think about them critically. Build a foundation. Form your opinions from that. It will really help shield people from propaganda and snake oil. I think part of the problem we have now is that we're forming opinions based on the opinions of talking heads, youtube personalities, entertainment news, click bait, social media algorithms, etc. Beliefs are becoming an act of regurgitation and indoctrination and hurting people's critical thinking skills. If that's how someone forms their opinion, the foundation of their opinion is extremely weak and easily subverted by propaganda and snake oil. To give an example and bring this around to the subject of this thread, if you have a strong foundation on the ideas of freedom and human rights it's nearly impossible to see Russia in anything approaching even a neutral light. If your stances are driven by regurgitation and what is personally beneficial or convenient to you, then you're very susceptible to being manipulated into supporting a variety of shallow opinions/arguments. I don't want to come off as lecturing people. I'm no scholar myself  . I just see this as becoming a huge problem in our country and beyond and hope that we can start combating it. |

Article with more details on the possible Azovstal steelworks siege ending.
KYIV The Ukrainian unit holed up beneath the Azovstal steelworks in Mariupol said on Monday its garrison was fulfilling orders to save the lives of troops, an apparent indication that the long siege there was coming to an end. The fighting at Azovstal in ruined Mariupol has symbolized Ukrainian resistance throughout Russia's nearly three-month-old invasion. Most civilians who had sought shelter at the vast Soviet-era plant were evacuated earlier this month. "In order to save lives, the entire Mariupol garrison is implementing the approved decision of the Supreme Military Command and hopes for the support of the Ukrainian people," the Azov Regiment said in a social media post. In an accompanying video, one of the unit's senior commanders, Denys Prokopenko, said: "The main thing is to realize all the risks, is there a plan B, are you fully committed to that plan which must allow for fulfilling the assigned tasks and preserve the lives and health of personnel?" "This is the highest level of overseeing troops. All the more so when your decision is endorsed by the highest military command." Prokopenko did not spell out what action the defenders were taking. The video was released hours after Russia said it had agreed to evacuate wounded Ukrainian soldiers to a medical facility in the Russian-controlled town of Novoazovsk. Ukraine estimates tens of thousands of civilians died in Mariupol during months of siege by Russian forces who destroyed the Sea of Azov port, a city of around 400,000 people. The last defenders, including many who were wounded, had been holding out for weeks in bunkers beneath Azovstal, one of the largest metallurgical plants in Europe. "An agreement has been reached on the removal of the wounded," Russia's defense ministry said in a statement. "A humanitarian corridor has been opened through which wounded Ukrainian servicemen are being taken to a medical facility in Novoazovsk." Ukraine's Deputy Defence Minister Hanna Malyar earlier told Ukrainian television: "Any information can harm the processes that are taking place Inasmuch as the process is under way, we can't say what's happening right now." (Reporting by Ron Popeski and Natalia Zinets; Writing by Peter Graff; Editing by Catherine Evans) Mariupol steelworks defenders appear to signal end of siege |

Probably gonna do that with the Buryats too. It never went away. That’s why Putin gives Kadyrov billions a year and free rein to do what he wants. They’ll (barely) tolerate one of their own ruling them as long as he has big carrots and a bigger stick. If Kadyrov loses too many men in Ukraine or the Russians can’t keep up the funding old Ramzan is dead meat. I have read interviews with the leaders of the Chechen units fighting for Ukraine. They believe if Ukraine wins the RF will collapse and when that happens Chechnya will rise up against Kadyrov. |

Mariupol steelworks defenders appear to signal end of siege Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By PurpleOtter: Article with more details on the possible Azovstal steelworks siege ending. KYIV The Ukrainian unit holed up beneath the Azovstal steelworks in Mariupol said on Monday its garrison was fulfilling orders to save the lives of troops, an apparent indication that the long siege there was coming to an end. The fighting at Azovstal in ruined Mariupol has symbolized Ukrainian resistance throughout Russia's nearly three-month-old invasion. Most civilians who had sought shelter at the vast Soviet-era plant were evacuated earlier this month. "In order to save lives, the entire Mariupol garrison is implementing the approved decision of the Supreme Military Command and hopes for the support of the Ukrainian people," the Azov Regiment said in a social media post. In an accompanying video, one of the unit's senior commanders, Denys Prokopenko, said: "The main thing is to realize all the risks, is there a plan B, are you fully committed to that plan which must allow for fulfilling the assigned tasks and preserve the lives and health of personnel?" "This is the highest level of overseeing troops. All the more so when your decision is endorsed by the highest military command." Prokopenko did not spell out what action the defenders were taking. The video was released hours after Russia said it had agreed to evacuate wounded Ukrainian soldiers to a medical facility in the Russian-controlled town of Novoazovsk. Ukraine estimates tens of thousands of civilians died in Mariupol during months of siege by Russian forces who destroyed the Sea of Azov port, a city of around 400,000 people. The last defenders, including many who were wounded, had been holding out for weeks in bunkers beneath Azovstal, one of the largest metallurgical plants in Europe. "An agreement has been reached on the removal of the wounded," Russia's defense ministry said in a statement. "A humanitarian corridor has been opened through which wounded Ukrainian servicemen are being taken to a medical facility in Novoazovsk." Ukraine's Deputy Defence Minister Hanna Malyar earlier told Ukrainian television: "Any information can harm the processes that are taking place Inasmuch as the process is under way, we can't say what's happening right now." (Reporting by Ron Popeski and Natalia Zinets; Writing by Peter Graff; Editing by Catherine Evans) Mariupol steelworks defenders appear to signal end of siege They've been cut off and fighting for their lives for so long. What they've achieved will be legendary for generations. Surrender or no, those guys are amazingly brave. Expecting Russia to behave honorably seems like horrible folly to me though.
