    UKRAINE [ UKR] are walking a bit of a tight rope! THEY HAVE quite a good amount of tactical weaponary, a very active resistance and a couple of maybe 3 quite well supported anti Putrid/Kremlin "armies" [ probably a couple of thousand activeists] causing all sorts of minor disruption!
    A lot is made of "that bidge" it is a major supply line but no attempt to eliminate it as of yet... could it be a CHRISTMAS PRESENT for Putrid? KAAaaa BOOooom.
    WHEN YOU SEE THE FIGURES PUT FORWARD it seems at least 90,000 russians have been killed and some 700,000 wounded. Many of their wounded are patched up and sent back to the front under protest.. there is also rumours of some 20,000 having deserted or are rfusing to fight and around 750, 000 of army age left the country . mainly a lot of the brainy ones and workers!

    I believe there could be thousands of Russian troops more than willing to leave the fight up to Putin, and not themselves. If Ukraine could offer safety in return for laying down their weapons it could be surprising how many would take the offer and run for the hills of somewhere else. Neither Ukrainians or Russians want this war as it has only been waged for the gratification of Putin and the people need to speak up, although that will be dangerous for Russians. The changes in Syria have to change the overall dynamics as Putin has used the Syrian War as training for his planes in a similar way to what Hitler did in The Spanish Civil War prior to WW2. Allowing Putin to continue in his bellicose manner has to stop and world dynamics are now starting to look good in some ways but that can all be wiped out in one hour of the Trump presidency in just a few weeks. The clown says he can sort it out in only a day but he just doesn't work that way unless it pads his ego or bank balance.

    According to Ukrainian military correspondent Yuri Butusov, a battalion of North Korean soldiers launched an assault on Ukrainian positions in the vicinity of Malaya Loknia last Saturday.

    According to his account, the soldiers advanced without stopping despite the losses, employing tactics reminiscent of the “living waves” used during the Korean War (1950-53). This approach was designed to wear down Ukrainian defenses with a constant, uninterrupted attack.

    a real meat mincing operation that was then

    I see Ukraine has bombed another Russian criminal into non-existence and it makes me wonder that if they can target these people then why not Putin? Perhaps now we could get a 2 for 1 deal with both Putin and Assad with one well placed nasty thing, and I don't really care what is used - just do it.

    The Russians are doing something they have seldom done throughout the war.
    In Kursk after failed assaults they are removing the dead!!.. as a lot of them are Koreans. On weekend they lost masses of vehicles as UKR had the KILLING FIELD well set up delaying obstructions made easy targets of men and machines.........
    At home an bigger problem for Putrid besides milk/butter etc being in short supply there other staples like wheat cabbages and veggies are about 40% less .. local "councils are banning advert boards for joining up now all to do with social aspects ... effort to take minds off the "war"?
    UKR HAS AN AWFUL LOT OF PRISONERS TO CONTEND WITH as many are giving up.. they are slowly realizing the futility of the war and have stopped believing it is for the good of the motherland

    The issues occurring around the world that could be traced back to Russian attempts to de-stabilize the Western democracies are ramping up almost on a daily basis.. The crash of a plane in Kazakhstan yesterday stinks of Putin and his thugs and their ability to shoot down planes goes all the way back to the Korean Airlines plane that was shot down by a Russian missile decades ago when they claimed it flew over Kamchatka Peninsula and failed to respond to Mig fighters who intercepted it and fired killing all on board. The next was the Malaysian jet shot down by a missile over Ukraine by a Russian missile but of course the Kremlin denied all knowledge of the event despite the missile being clearly marked as Russian manufacture. Then we have all the mysteries surrounding various pipeline attacks and when you add that to the attack on other sub-seas communications over the last year or so it becomes blatantly that Putin will not stop this killing spree any time soon. I have to confess my hatred for anything and everything Donald Trump but his re-appearance back on the international stage could prove interesting to say the least, but only time will tell whether or not he can live up to his big mouth predictions as to what he brings to the future of our world as we know it. Zelensky needs to utilize the Russian prisoners he has in custody and find a way to get the dissenter's voices heard back in the motherland to convince the public of exactly what this war is costing in human lives and infrastructure. Nobody wins at war. <peacedove>

    Thanks for the warning Ashton but Canadians are well aware of what the Chump can do to disturb our settled lives as much as possible. Mark Carney is forecasted to take over all trade discussions between Canada and the U.S and Trump will rebel at that selection of minister to oversee, and counter, all efforts by Trump to change over 200 years or so of living together in perfect harmony. His ramblings about taking over Canada were met with a very sharp rebuke from Carney and Trump has already responded in his usual nasty way. Forgive me but I tend to think he has similar opinions as Putin/China and N.Korea and essentially he will do anything to enhance his own personal gains and change the lives of millions into the bargain. Anyone who bows to Trump's mandates will suffer the consequences because this horrible man should be nowhere near politics or human beings for that matter. He is a scumbag of worldly proportions and you can take my next comment as you may - I wouldn't have missed. :emoticon-0136-giggl

    Canada had better prepare for another invasion from its southern (and eastern) neighbour.
    We should have kept all the east coast cities we gained in that war. The US would have been left without their eastern trading ports.

    FOLLOWING ON from the post regarding the economy.. one of the main reasons around the inflation rise .. about 90% of it was PUTRID, when it comes to destroying an economy HARMER cant hold a flame to him.
    HE and his cronies are responsible for circa 1,000,000 Russian citizens being killed or maimed some to point of having no meaningful life from their injuries. he is gradually destroying all that was becoming a front runner in the worlds most "worthy countries" one of the top 5 ? The Russian public is struggling to feed themselves, one of the worst winter crop yields in a decade or more has seen the staples like potatoes and brassicas almost double in price and almost drop 40% in supply dairy products are following suit! butter is the new "gold"
    Inflation in double figures and the interest rate is fighting to stay at 21% companies have no staff to replace those "fleeing" or taken into the military and some 300,000 disabled and unable to work.
    The troops get paid infrequently and there is major shortages like basic rations and clean drinking water. there are over 10,000 court cases in Russia for deserters. the amount of equipment they have lost is staggering ... and oil production has actually been curtailed by specific strikes to various refineries
    just when will the koreans wake up and smell the coffee? in 1 week it is suspected that they have lost 3000 on the front line .. over 1000 killed their bodies burned ASA and any seriously wounded are shot.
    the few that have been captured were so badly injured they died of their injuries.. so few captured! well the ones who were reached by the UKR fighters as opposed to their mates.
    within Russia is 3 anti Kremlin groups some fighting for UKR ..........OTHERS DOING DAMAGE WITHIN RUSSIA ITSELF ! blowing up strategic points and establisments like railways bridges fuel depots and supplying info to UKR on storage of munitions /troops/fuel depots...vehicles etc
    had the republicans not held up for 2-3 month's the supply of much needed munitions and weaponary back in the summer we have seen a different war zone now!

    latest report is that for about the 4th time or more over 2000 russian casulaties in 24 hours.............
    According to the report, Russia has sustained 787,940 casualties in Ukraine since it began the full-scale invasion on February 24, 2022.

    So far, Putin's forces have also lost 9,663 tanks, 20,003 armoured fighting vehicles, 32,551 vehicles and fuel tanks, 21,494 artillery systems, 1,256 multiple-launch rocket systems, 1,032 air defence systems, 369 aeroplanes, 329 helicopters, 21,069 drones, 28 ships and boats, and one submarine,

    Those are absolutely stunning figures and it just goes to show that Putin is more than willing to continue the meat grinder against Ukraine. The Russian people must also want an end to this war and I just hope another Assad type overthrow is going to happen to Putin, but I won't hold my breath. As far as Syria is concerned from what I have read today look as if this supposed saviour who is ex- ISIS is going to create a similar type of scenario, as with Assad, but has counselled many Islamist thugs from other countries to join the show. The Islamic world has a lot to learn before this pure hatred of anything other than their beliefs will disappear from view but due to inner sect conflicts it will never happen. Ah well we still have the joy of seeing what the biggest political asshole will do to set the world straight.
