You know I don't take nonsense, so I advise you to stay off my posts. The last time I dealt with you, you know how you cried to the mods to help you in banning me.
don't even pretend I know you or that I have quoted you before (can't recall if I've ever done that). I have zero clue of your existence nor your prior engagements here till today. But keep up with the spewing of rubbish, they're all music to my ears henceforth.

US army raise DEFCON level.


DEFCON 3, or Round House is an increase in alertness and military readiness, also known as 'yellow alert' status. With Defcon 3 the air force is in a higher state or level of readiness so that they can deploy and mobilize within 15 minutes time.

The alert color for DEFCON 3, or Round House is yellow. The meaning behind this condition level is similar to that of a yellow "caution" sign. We are prepared, cautious and in a state of military readiness. This condition represents a state of preparedness and a high level of caution.


The alert status may be raised to Defcon 3, or Round House after a precision strike is carried out by an an enemy. This condition may also be reached after a precision strike is carried out by the United States military or any event that warrants a cautious state of military readiness and alert by U.S forces. Taken from Defcon Level Warning System.

The village of Pyatikhatka will become a new page in the history of the military talent of Syrsky-Bakhmut-Zaporozhsky

Russian troops, apparently, have already begun to mock the great commander Zelensky.

The Russians left the settlement and gave half a day to "overcome" all Ukrainian propagandists.

Then the Russian military waited until the maximum concentration of equipment and infantry of the 128th Guards Brigade (the 7th part of the unfortunate brigade from Transcarpathia) and simply burned the armored vehicles and fighters of the Armed Forces of Ukraine from heavy flamethrower systems.

On some resources they write about 100 missiles, but fear has big eyes.

Apparently, mourning will soon be declared again in Transcarpathia.

If Ukrainians actually chased Putin without Mobilisation, Leopard tanks, BMP armoured vehicles and HIMARS, by now, I believe they should be at Moscow with all the investment of the West in Ukraine.

So my question to you now is, why is the much awaited counteroffensive be this a failure?

Ukrainians chased Putin from Kiev because they were dug in, he didn't have supply lines nor logistics to feed and fuel his army. His army only actually packed few days food supply as they were expecting a blitzkrieg.

Counteroffensive Vs defending are two different ball games. In Kiev, Ukraine were defending. In counteroffensive, Ukraine's main problem is land mines which force you into a corridor where the enemy will train its fire, so casualty rate is higher till you breach the line.

The Himars and co have chased Russia out of Kharkiv and Kherson before they had a chance to dig in and lay mines everywhere.

And the counteroffensive is only few days old. Don't go singing Victoria like Putards on this very thread were singing in the early days of the offensives against Kharkiv and Kherson.

You have always been very slow upstairs

NATO is a military alliance, not an economic one like Brics

The appropriate comparison is EU

Turkey is not in EU. It is an autocratic state and is the one talking about resolving conflict by violence rather than dialogue. It is part of NATO for one reason and one reason only - its control of the entrance to the Black sea, not because of any ideological cohesion with other member states.

In EU (or former EU) states alone, there are lots of territorial disputes eg Gibraltar between Spain and UK, Lake Constance between Germany, Austria and Switzerland, Gulf of Piran between Slovenia and Croatia, Dollar bay between Germany and Holland, Mont Blanc between France and Italy, Olivenza between Spain and Portugal etc etc etc. It is only hungry men and autocrats that fight over territory.

Russia didn't have enough troops in Ukraine at a time when her troops were forced to retreat from Kharkiv. Troops were moved from Kharkiv to Kherson to strengthened the Kherson front. Ukraine found out about the shortage of troops in Kharkiv and they launched counter offensive. The Russian troops in Kahrkiv were not more than 5,000 troops. Ukraine used about 30k troops in it Kharkiv counter offensive. 30k against 5k. HIMARS didn't play any role in the Kharkiv offensive.

HIMARS played a role in the Kherson offensive. It was used to destroy the bridge linking east and west Kherson together. This really disrupt Russian logistics. Couple with the Crimea bridge they was damaged at a time. The Russians couldn't sustain the defense of Kherson, and they moved their troops to the other side of Kherson intact.

Russia used about 20k troops to seize Mariupol. Ukraine had minimum of 30k troops in Mariupol. They used 30k troops in an attempt to seize Kiev. Imagine the number of troops defending Kiev at a time. Remember also that Ukraine gave fire arms to it citizens to defend Kiev. I don't think Russia wanted to take Kiev (at least not with 30k troops). They want to intimidate and put pressure on Zelensky to surrender. But that didn't work. The troops were insufficient, but they surprised everyone. Because they were closed. They made it to Kiev gate, that was impressive. I don't know what Putin's Gola was in Kiev. But I am 100% that the goal was not to take Kiev.

โšก๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ Ukraine may have temporarily paused counter offensive.

Kyiv's forces may have temporarily halted their counteroffensive to re-evaluate their tactics for future operations, according to the Institute for the Study of War (ISW).

๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡ช Estonian Defense Forces Intelligence Center Colonel Margo Grosberg said on 16 June that in his assessment "we won't see an offensive over the next seven days".

The Wall Street Journal similarly reported on 17 June that Ukrainian forces "have mostly paused their advances in recent days" as the command in Kyiv re-examines tactics.


The ISW says in its latest update on the war that these reports are consistent with their recent observations of the scale and approach of localised Ukrainian counterattacks in southern and eastern parts of the country.

It adds that ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ Ukraine has not yet committed the majority of its available forces to the counteroffensive operations and does not yet appear to have launched its main effort.

The major reason for AK 47s adaption by most countries is because of its ability to balance efficiency, versatility etc without much tradeoffs. Also, the need for less maintenance compared to its counterparts plays a major role.

โšกUN urges ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ Russia to allow access to areas impacted by dam disaster.

The United Nations (UN) has urged Russia to allow humanitarian aid to reach areas impacted by the Kakhovka dam disaster.

At least 35 people have died as a result of the dam collapse on 6 June, according to ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ Ukrainian and Russian officials, while 31 are missing and thousands more have been evacuated.

Hundreds of homes have been flooded.

Ukraine and Russia have blamed each other for the dam's collapse, both claiming deliberate sabotage.

According to the UN, Moscow has "so far declined our request to access the areas under its temporary military control".

"The UN will continue to engage to seek the necessary access," its statement added.

"We urge the ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ Russian authorities to act in accordance with their obligations under international humanitarian law.

"Aid cannot be denied to people who need it."

A Russian military attack against Sweden "cannot be ruled out".

That's the conclusion of a report by the Scandinavian country's parliamentary defence committee, according to public broadcaster SVT.

Citing sources, it says the report - due to be published on Monday - warns ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ Moscow may carry out operations "with air forces, naval forces, long-range weapons or nuclear weapons".

"Russia has also further lowered its threshold for the use of military force and exhibits a high political and military risk appetite," it says.

According to SVT, the report also outlines a new defence doctrine for ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ช Sweden based on membership of NATO.

But Moscow has now denied that assessment.

People in the southern ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ Ukrainian region of Mykolaiv have been warned against using open water for drinking, swimming, or fishing after it was found to be contaminated.

The cholera-like bacteria vibrio, which local health authorities said can cause acute intestinal infections, has been found in several rivers and estuaries following the devastating collapse of Kakhovka dam.

Mykolaiv's regional centre for disease control and prevention also warned of high ammonia levels.
