ORIKHIV AXIS /2110 UTC 2 JUL/ In the last 24 hours, UKR forces are pressing contacts on the T-08-15 HWY axis east of Bilohiria. Driving south on the T-04-08 HWY axis, UKR task elements are now reported in contact at Robotyne. There, Russian units have broken and withdrawn south into a second line of defenses closer to the village.
lots of reporting on this going around. Hope they smash through these lines. |

I can’t put my finger on it, but I feel the air has changed in UA in regards to Russia’s occupation. I sense that in the next month or this summer, Russia is going to start a withdrawal, except in Crimea.

I look forward to you discussing both sides of the issue" I like to keep my pulse on the "influencers" on "our side". |

Oh OK as long as it is just “long term contracts” then trading with a terrorist state is fine. That’s some mighty sanctions you got going there, pilgrim.

This chapter may end at some point but conflict will be ongoing and purposefully made interesting to certain audiences. That said a decently sized populace with vigor and will and daring hoping to become a part of an alliance that benefits me, benefits me. As well as the downfall of an alliance that shits where it eats. That said I hope there are gains here soon, but I feel pessimistic right now. But purposefully so. I'm betting on that final gains won't be until fall. Late fall. When the ukes can negotiate the safe passage of orcs back to their homeland for the ceasing of hostilities. |

But for some reason the Biden administration is scared. |

View Quote Give serious thought to getting yourself an impact gun, and a wrist-saver (electric ratchet) in 1/2 inch size along with normal and deep-reach sockets. Yes, they might be a bit gucci, but if speed is a consideration, they bring that to the party. If it was me, I'd also be looking at ratcheting spanners to make my life easier too... Also a big pry-bar and a big hammer to persuade things to move into position The hodge-podge of equipment over there will likely see you needing both imperial and metric sizes for everything |

These radio and internet right wing pundits have figured out an algorithm that pays, and are milking it. It reminds me of Jim and Tammy-Faye Baker, it reminds me of them a lot. There is an unfortunate trend of people on the right outsourcing their thinking to various pundits and personalities. I'm speaking from experience here, as I have multiple family members who essentially rely on Fox News and a few conservative radio shows to form their opinions. So, if these sorts of people hear anti-Ukraine rhetoric from one of these sources, they'll almost always believe it without a second thought. Ironically enough, these are often the people who fancy themselves as being free thinkers and mock the left for falling for fake news from their chosen media outlets. |
