    1. Inflation must go to 35% … because we all need to “share the pain” with the Ukrainians. Bidinh said so. It’s like WWII or something. Right? Just keep devaluing the dollar by printing more and more of it … because Zelensky needs it … until it’s utterly worthless.

      Ya think Putin REALLY wants the war to finish quickly? Don’t be silly … he wants to drag this out until the USA is more BROKE than the Soviet Union in 1989. And we’re heading there quickly. What wouldn’t YOU pay to make the LGBTQqAI+/- viable in Russia? How about destroying America so you can spread the contagion?

    1. “Someone was buying shìț from Iran.”

      You mean orcs buying hundreds of Iranian drones?

        1. LOL, your pitiful attempt at making a point notwithstanding, are you denying that orcs purchased massive quantities of drones and other weapons from Iran?

          “but realize the very real potential that nothing is as it seems.”

          When it comes to orc invasion of Ukraine literarily everything is as it seems to the sane. You just refuse to let go off your delusions.

          2. A lot of things are. The lazy among you demand universal nihilism. They are wrong.

        2. I once worked in a garment factory where everything was as it seamed.

          Why yes, I also worked in a coal mine, why do you ask?

  3. Is this like the narratives:

    – NATO promised not to expand east
    – battle mosquitos
    – Maidan was a western coup
    – Ukrainian bioweapons labs
    – dirty bombs
    – 8 year genocide
    – Sims 3 incident
    – NATO generals at Azovstal
    – Ukraine shouldn’t exist
    – Zelensky is a drug addiction
    – western military support won’t make a difference
    – Ukraine wouldn’t be able to resist without western military support
    – the Russian language is banned

    “But! But! Ghost of Kyiv and Babushka pickle jar!” They exclaim as though somehow those narratives – nothing more than feel good stories on social media – somehow compare to propaganda lies used to justify a war.

    1. alla unDORK
      U forgot the clown running around behind Poohteen with a brief case, collecting Poohteen’s schiff
      and then there is the DYING Poohteen
      don’t fergit that fat over weight Russian colonel.
      You and the COLON KINZINGER should git married

      1. Are you serious?

        Several reports of him being ill. His looks have changed (moonface), he has odd twitches and an odd gait. The blatter could possibly be due to his KGB training. Not conclusive at all, but nobody is going to war over rumors of Putin being ill.

        The fat Russian was a retired border guard who came out for a ceremony. Nobody is going to war over that either.

    2. You nailed it. The entire Putlicker is based on lies. Remember the same people who who see through the likes of BBC/CBC/Guardian/NYT stories about how the Freedom Convoy was full of Nazis, absolutely accept without question the BBC/CBC/Guardian/NYT stories that Ukraine is full of Nazis

        1. “Don’t forget Iraq having undeclared WMD.”

          Which were never found, despite the UN inspection teams having the importation records for all the precursor chemicals. They looked, but couldn’t find them so they then proceeded (in typical UN fashion) to cover their incompetence by declaring them to be non-existent. What’s your point?

  4. According to what information? Someone calculated the value of the damage already?

  6. Ohhhhhhh mommaaaaaa Kate must be a Russian asset. A Russian sympathizer. A Putin puppet. Right?

  7. well now , that should show the Russians:-))))
    And the stupids are in here whining .
    Those patriot missiles will stop this nonsense , after the Ukes win this war, amIrite COLON Kinzinger?????

  10. It’s funny that Russia’s mighty T14 Armata hasn’t entered the fighting.

    But there are reports of T54-T55 tanks headed to the front. Perhaps Russia is now going to mobilize the soldiers that trained on them?

    1. FWIW

      “Another weapons-related item: we got confirmation that Russia is in fact transferring the recently shipped, older T-54/55 and T-62s to artillery divisions, which means, as suspected, they’ll be used only as indirect fire artillery pieces from the rear:”

      Plenty of ammunition too

      1. “…which means, as suspected, they’ll be used only as indirect fire artillery pieces from the rear”

        No it does not mean that, it only means that you have found a twitter post that states what you want to hear. Also tanks make bad indirect fire vehicles and if orcs have to resort to using them indicates that they are short of artillery.

        Pop quiz:
        1. How long do you think it takes to produce a modern artillery barrel?
        2. What is the life expectancy (in terms of number of shots) of an artillery barrel?
        3. What is the life expectancy (in terms of number of shots) of a tank barrel?

        Do find out.

        1. Actually tlboth sides have been using tanks for indirect fire. With drone observation to correct fall of shot they are useful.

          The main problem with using then thus is barrel wear.

          1. There is a difference between “have been using ” and “they’ll be used only as”. Yes, in an emergency tanks can be used like that.

            No plan survives a contact with the enemy. You can bet that every tank on both sides including T-54/55, T-62, Leo 1 and AMX 10RC (which is not tank) will find itself in direct fire situations.

            If the purpose of your tanks is to be used only as artillery then you don’t have enough artillery and you’re plugging holes. And we know that they are desperate for close support artillery. 120mm mortars are getting scarce and 82mm mortars nearly disappeared lately. And using tanks to replace mortar is an extremely inefficient and not particularly effective idea.

      2. This simplicius substack link seems like a straight forward assessment; but I hasten to emphasize the importance of air superiority. Even IF you can sustain the volume of artillery production required for low casualty advances you have to have the pieces required to launch it in. Those pieces only survive under air dominance.

      3. The older tanks are absolutely useless for indirect fire. If they’re using them, it means they’re desperately out of artillery.

    3. “It’s funny that Russia’s mighty T14 Armata hasn’t entered the fighting.”

      Why? Why not keep them in reserve until they can be of real use?

  11. Or was it a $50,000 boom, and the rest got sold off to other interested parties?

    1. Early in the war the big fuel tank that blew up in Russia was suspected to have been blown up by the Russians themselves because the general had sold all the fuel. Russian generals also sold all the tank engines from long storage tanks.

      1. “The Ukraine government, headed by Volodymyr Zelensky, has been using American taxpayers’ funds to pay dearly for the vitally needed diesel fuel that is keeping the Ukrainian army on the move in its war with Russia……..What also is unknown is that Zelensky has been buying the fuel from Russia……”……“Zelensky’s been buying discount diesel from the Russians,” one knowledgeable American intelligence official told me. “And who’s paying for the gas and oil? We are.

  12. Is there anyone here that really thinks name calling, nicknames, ethnic slurs and insults actually strengthens their arguments? Seems a bit childish to me.

    1. These nicknames, slurs, and insults make it easy to quickly determine which comments to read and which to ignore.

  14. Okay, a couple of points…
    1. What you Canucks complaining about, it’s 80% American money funding this war on the Ukraine side.
    2. If there was $US500 million up in flames, wouldn’t the “boom” have been as devastating as the Halifax Harbor explosion, or maybe the Texas City explosion? Maybe the more recent Beirut explosion? If so, where are those pics?

    1. I recall at least one American Democrat politician fantasizing about using American military assets against supporters of the Second Amendment. I also remember our Prime Minstrel discussing his admiration for the Chicoms.

      Every bit of military ammunition and military kit sent by Western governments to Ukraine to kill Russians can’t be used against.

  15. According to what information?
    That doesn’t look like high explosives to me. It looks more like two large thermobaric Fuel-Air bombs. RDX is a common explosive for artillery shells, it has a detonation velocity of 28,000 fps, that’s over five miles a second or 18,000mph. In comparison a fuel-air explosion moves at less than 1,000fps which is why Hollywood uses gasoline to simulate explosions.
    In the video I do not see a hyper sonic shock wave or debris. All I see are two slow spreading fireballs with lots of oily smoke.
    “Ukraine’s Air Force said Saturday that 17 out of 21 Russian drones had been intercepted overnight by its air defense system but they were unable to prevent strikes on infrastructure facilities in Khmelnytskyi.”

    1. Oil or gas storage facility. Which is big, obvious, and immobile and thus about the onoy target the Russians are capable of hiting.

  16. Oil or gas storage facility. Which is big, obvious, and immobile and thus about the only target the Russians are capable of hiting.

  18. Just read some of the most amazing stuff on this threat. Now if only anyone was correct about anything.

  21. Posters should learn to us both thumbs on their phones, or use spell check. You lose some credibility as an intellectual if you can’t spell lose, loose, or loss correctly, among other obvious mistakes.

    1. “You lose some credibility as an intellectual if you can’t spell lose, loose, or loss correctly”……..even “us/ use”.

  22. Man it’s been awesome watching Russia get ground up. The real question is why anyone who isn’t a) in Russia or b) being paid by Russia would actually take the side of this near-failed state. Is it just because Putin says bad things about progressives and LGBTQ rights?
