That may be true, but it completely flies in the face of the values of the West, doesn't it?

Never surrender while you have the means to resist.  Never take part in something that may injure my comrades.  Etc.

This is ominous, but not unexpected.  

We have seen the failures of the mobilization, but there are probably some parts of it which are not total disasters.  

Besides their frantic reaction to the UA offensives, the Orcs must have done at least minimal logistical planning to support all the Mobiks who will very soon arrive in DonBass and the south.

I just hope all those supplies get HIMARed very quickly.

What is interesting is the report that Ukriane has some capability to shoot down Iksander missiles with what Ukraine has now for air defence.

Sounds like @m35ben has a chance after all.


lol, Ben gets his won Patriot battery in his backyard, he's always one PANTSCON level above where the rest of us are.


I'm currently reading this thread at Pantscon 5


I'm at Pantscon 1. Though I''m sure the folks at the grocery store were awfully thankful!

The Shawarma comments earlier made me hungry so I went and bought stuff for Phillie cheese steak sandwiches tonight.

Can't wait to eat dinner and read about the UA destroying the remnants of the orcs corrupted soul.

I mean, I get the sentiment considering our ties, but Russia put hit squads in Kyiv trying to assassinate and decapitate the government. They had kill lists of regular citizens and civil servants for areas they were trying to occupy. She and her father were legitimate targets, and it isn't remotely a "stoop to their level situation" IMO.

ETA  Also, if we wanted to send a message it could have, and should have, been done privately or in back channels. Instead they leaked it to NYT and handed Russia a solid piece of propaganda. Smells more like a butthurt underling leaked it  or something.

More than 50 fresh burials with civilians were found in the liberated Estuary (PHOTOS)
https://hromadske.ua/posts/u-zvilnenomu-limani-znajshli-ponad-svizhih-50-pohovan-iz-civilnimi-foto



More than 50 graves with civilians were found in the recently liberated Lyman of the Donetsk region.
This was reported by our correspondent from the scene.
the Russians pulled out trenches and forced people they suspected of collaborating with the Ukrainian military to collect the bodies of the dead for reburial.
The guy, who was also detained and forced by the occupants to bury, told us that not all buried people were identified. Their bodies could lie on the streets for a long time. Also, those killed by shelling were sometimes buried by their neighbors.
The invaders did not take the bodies of their military. So, russians lived in one of the houses and organized a medical center there. When they retreated, they took the wounded, and left the dead.

More than 50 people are buried in this cemetery. Some burials are marked with nameplates, but there are only numbered ones.



"Tortured, in shackles." Civilians killed by Russian special forces were found at a recreation center in the Kharkiv region



This was reported by the Kharkiv Regional Prosecutor's Office and the National Police of Kharkiv region.
The bodies of men aged about 30-35 years were found during an inspection of the Svet Shakhtera recreation center in the village of Novoplatonivka, Borivska AH.
The dead were dressed in civilian clothes. The bodies were found in a sand pit measuring 2.5x2.5 meters and a depth of 4 meters.



Mummified bodies of the dead were found in Kharkiv region - police
https://hromadske.ua/posts/na-harkivshini-znajshli-mumifikovani-tila-zagiblih-policiya


Law enforcement officers found the mummified bodies of two men in the village of Kamyanka, Izyum district, Kharkiv region.

We're dealing with forced conscription. As a US soldier we were treated worlds better.  I can't imagine how horrible it must be to be on their "team". They really are deprived of the basics: food, gear, pay, and an attitude to keep them alive and in the fight. Someone on the surrender phone lined promised them food, a call home, probably somewhere better to sleep, and maybe money. They aren't even fighting on their home turf. Reality set in at some point.

I think you're missing the technical difficulties happening on this thread. It happens to a lot of very long threads here, the next page appears but there's nothing on it until someone posts again, hence the "ghost page" post on every new page to get previous posts to appear.

OK, caught up from the morning -thank you all - and I got nothing substantive to add besides this:

Excellent, simple Ukrainian galushki recipe. Think of it as gnocchi with bacon.  Simple, tasty, very few ingredients.  Basically flour+water, bacon, onion, mushrooms, that's it. This recipe is from a Ukrainian/American woman. I found this recipe 5/6 years ago and it's great.  Maybe not healthy, but you can make dinner for four with $8 worth of ingredients in 45 minutes, and it's delicious. @zam18th and someone else asked about it.

Printable recipe:

https://momsdish.com/recipe/617/ukrainian-dumplings-aka-galushki#jump-to-recipe

This is the book where I read about it; the author and his comrades had a very powerful moment when a Ukrainian village made it for them as a thank-you after some very bad times.  A very interesting book on a Far East citizen's experiences in WWII.  Very well-reviewed book.

They seem to leave large amounts of stuff intact and I've seen few boobytraps. The boobytraps I have seen seemed to have been perimeter security attempts or stupid stuff like a grenade in a cup that might kill some kid. The Ukrainians also seem to go through all the arms left behind without looking for boobytraps.

Is Biden still relying on Russia to negotiate a new Iran Deal for us? The list expands greatly when you include the actions towards proxies.

And related is the peace deals between the Gulf states and Israel. Of course, Obama gets some credit for this, not because of his intent but the unintended result of his Iran Deal.

I agree.  "Drive up and surrender your vehicle and arms in working order and we'll give you hot food, clean water, warm clothes, a sleeping bag and an actual working toilet to crap in."  

Compared to being killed inside the vehicle or blown up by a drone sounds like a pretty good deal.  

ETA: A good deal if you're some conscript pulled off the streets and given almost no training.

Considering the NYT has a long history fo supporting the Soviet Union and Russia, it's the perfect place for a sympathetic underling to go with his intel.

This recipe is from a Ukrainian/American woman. I found this recipe 5/6 years ago and it's great.  Maybe not healthy, but you can make dinner for four with $8 worth of ingredients in 45 minutes, and it's delicious.

This is the book where I read about it; the author and his comrades had a very powerful moment when a Ukrainian village made it for them as a thank-you after some very bad times.  A very interesting book on a Far East citizen's experiences in WWII.  Very well-reviewed book.

Belarus could trigger CTOS Article 4 if that happened. However, Armenia did that on Sept 13th with the renewed fighting with Azerbaijan and nothing has happened. The biggest issue would probably be Poland accidentally conquering Russia when they don't meet much resistance.

And they most likely will live to see the sun set and rise.  Many other orcs will not.

@loBrau
it use to do that at work on pc, now it just gives the must sign in to watch thingy. Has something to do with the video's rating.
I can't sign in to youtube at work, so I have to switch to my phones to view.
