tamdun:Oh I TOTALLY believe that. |
@ OP, btw what concerns the e-map of Russian SIM card use in Ukraine with the happenings in Kharkiv? And are you not the dude that claimed that US LNG is cheaper than Russian gas? We're still scratching our heads over that BS you posted. |
Igbofam:@ the highlighted, all I can say is GOOD LAWD!! Bros, you can lie eh!! Have you not been following the news? Because it's soooooooo obvious that you're totally oblivious of the current happenings in Ukraine. Let me guess, you still believe the Ghost of Kharkiv is real, right ? Anyway let me help you out abeg:(1)First of all, LOOK AT THE MAP, then PLEASE explain how Kharkiv city is key to the capture of the Donbass region (Luhansk and Donetsk Oblast). Keep in mind that the Russians have already reached the administrative line of Luhansk Oblast and are already swinging northwards towards Kramatorsk again in a bid to fully secure the oblast and trap Ukrainian units in Sieverodonetsk - Lysychansk cauldron still trying to hold ground as ordered by Kyiv despite multiple pleas to withdraw to an area that is defensible. Keep in mind that the Russians are still up north right in front of the Ukrainians, and have already repulsed the Ukrainian "successful" counter-attack. Meanwhile, western media houses who are trying to spin the Ukrainian "counter-attack" as a "success" ( .....sorry) are grudgingly admitting that the Russians are actually making an orderly withdrawal from the area. Does that sound like an army beating a hasty retreat?(2) Abeg when and where were the Russians pushed back on the Izyum front? Who gave you that superstory, especially when the Russians are still pushing down south from SAME axis? Again if you've bothered to LOOK AT THE MAP you would've seen that in between the Kharkiv city and Izyum front is a natural barrier, that being the Severskyi Donets river. And as you and Team Slava Ukraine were probably celebrating over the initial failed Russian river crossing, you most probably missed the news that roughly the same day the Russians had returned the favour as they equally destroyed a Ukrainian pontoon crossing further north on the same river. But hey, please do tell about this phantom "successful" pushback of the Russian force at the Izyum front. But hey, continue to swallow the gunk the makers of "Ghost of Kyiv" are feeding. Ukraine is winning...... ........on Facebook |
@ OP and the Team Slava Ukraine, before you celebrate, mbok I URGE YOU all to take a break and look at the battlefield map, especially at the Kharkiv front. Maybe then reality will hit in. A few things to note: (1)The Ukrainians never launched any successful counter-attack that helped them recapture territories around Kharkiv. Contrary to what's being touted around, some Russians units actually ceded ground voluntarily in tactical withdrawals to more defensible positions. The areas left by the Russians are what's now reoccupied by the Ukrainians and spurned as "recaptured". (2)To be fair , the Ukrainians have reached the Russian boundary, BUUUUUUUUT the area "recaptured" is basically a tiny sliver of territory compared to what's still being held by the Russians. (3) In a considerable area around same Kharkiv, the Russians just repulsed a Ukrainian push about a day ago. (4) The whole "push" around Kharkiv is frankly considered strategically unimportant. Frankly it ties up Ukrainian units, preventing them from reinforcing beleaguered units in the East Donbass front. |
You list a number of young FRONT LINE officers (Lts and Capts) KIA and shout "SLAVA Ukraine". Why not release Ukrainian fatalities also let's see and compare? Meanwhile Russia's still taking more ground. But hey, Ukraine is winning.... .......on social media. |
Investor Sabinus sir, how's the family? |
firstone:Sorry sir. Ukraine is "winning"......on Social Media. |
AllKnowing:Maybe the US will subsidize the gas. Will it go down well with the American public? I dunno.. |
Cheaper US LNG? Hold on....I'm no Gas Engineer, but, I believe the gas in the US has to be liquified and stored in special tanks on LNG ships and transported ACROSS the ATLANTIC OCEAN to Europe to LNG terminals then pumped out, etc. The Russian pipeline on the other is just a few kilometers away.... ....yet the US LNG is cheaper?? How?? |
Yeah, I followed this story. Here's the thing though: I got to read about it through the Russians on Telegram. They admitted there were some losses at the initial attempts BUT they did finally succeeded in crossing troops and equipment across the river. The Russians are still advancing and I'm certain to a reasonable extent that the Donbass will be in their hands in a few weeks. As for the claimed 1,500 losses, Ukrainians and pro-west supporters club, abeg fear God na. that lie is too much! |
firstone:The M777 towed artillery that the Russians just captured? |
God forbid bad thing. Tufiakwa! |
Yeah, I heard that about 2 months ago.....yet the Russian pain keeps coming like a bad b@*#h. Keep lying to yourself. |
Buschlaid:That helicopter was Ukrainian with Ukrainian paratroopers, not Russian. Even the landing spot clearly gave it away. Instead of using the existing helipad close to the buildings, the helicopter landed at the far end of the Island with an assault force. Too bad it got blown up. |
BabaIbo:Because the Ukrainians are HIDING in those schools, using them as resupply points and bases. |
@OP, you're mixing up pics. The soldiers with white bands are Wagner Operators (Russian), not Ukrainian. |
sapientia:Tell that to Kherson, Berdyansk, Melitopol, and Mariupol. |
Eye don clear. |
Igbofam:Did you even bother to click on any of the links to read the contents. For example, MSN's content CLEARLY said the news was from UNCONFIRMED SOURCES (keyword: UNCONFIRMED). But nope, you just saw titles only and posted. |
firstone:The Turks lost at least 8 Leopard 2 tanks in combat to ISIS The Saudis lost 23 M1A1 tanks in combat to Houthie rebels. |
From the makers of Ghost of Kyiv comes another one: The Phantom Neptune. |
Haba Ukraine. You want the Georgians to chew their ties again, especially after 2008 when they got their collective behinds whooped by the Russians? |
yanabasee:No he won't. The Russians intend to try all foreign fighters. |
From the creators of the Ghost of Kyiv.. |
@ OP, a number of German made Leopard 2 from the Turkish Army, arguably the best tank in the world, were destroyed I'm Syria. During the Iraqi insurgency, the US Army lost a number of M1A2 tanks to ragtag Iraqi insurgents. During the Yemen civil war, the Saudis lost a considerable number of same American made M1A2 MBT I don't see anyone make much noise about those. The Russians on the other hand lose 1 T90, and it's headline? Abeg grow up. |
Flexy33:"...even if you need to borrow...". You think it's that easy getting a loan, or worse, repaying same loan. Oh if you knew what proprietors go through....if only you knew... |
Rastaramsey:Causing what setbacks? The Russians withdrew and let them have it. They're basically tieing down the Ukrainians. |
jrusky:If only wishes were horses. Russia will withdraw from Crimea and Donbass when HELL FREEZES OVER and Satan gives his life to Christ. |
jrusky:Underestimate India at your own peril. Despite it's poverty level, you're talking about a MAJOR Asian powerhouse and the main counterweight to China there. Not only that it is arguably the 2nd HIGHEST ENERGY consumer in the world after China, and all these now work in Russia's favour. Why do you think the Americans are trying so hard to woo the Indians to take up a hardline against Russia without success? The Indians even laughed out the American Deputy National Security Adviser during his last visit, and the British PM had to go to woo the Indians to no avail. So far the Indians have REFUSED to change their neutrality stance while they continue to buy cheap Russian oil at an increasing rate. Everyone's tired of west's hypocrisy. |
calcal:The EU has used up almost everything in their sanction arsenal, and it's not working. You think Russia is some 3rd World Country? You're talking about a global energy superpower. The Russians have done their home work quite well. They close that has tap and Germany, the richest country in Europe, immediately goes into recession. Why do you think European companies are scrambling to open the Ruble account with Gazprom Bank? Even the EU is now split over gas and oil purchase. Even the USA that's pushing the EU and everyone else to take a hardline with Russia still buys fertilizer from Russia, and that's being threatened, thus threats to America's food security. The Russians will NOT back down until their objectives are met and everyone else know this. |
Toktee:Isreal never attacked innocent Palestinians...they just occupy Palestinian territory, evict them from their homes, place them in the largest open air prison with nowhere to go, jail Palestinians including CHILDREN using Isreali Military Law, prevent them from congregating at their place of worships, and view them as subhumans as segregation is fully humans....so yeah, that.. |
eyexi:Yeah, and start a nuclear WW3. You think this is Call of Duty or some Tom Clancy game or fictional novel? |
