International Russia/Ukraine Megathread V15

Indeed.
...what is Putin waiting for? Russia should have had a complete mobilization back in 2022. Not to mention leveling Kiev and other major cities with conventional missiles. Russia is holding back on these two issues and Ukraine thinks they have the upper hand in this conflict. I'm not sure why Putin (Russia) has chosen this agonizing and slow way to fight this war. It is the only reason the Ukrainian Army has had any success and not been defeated. Despite 4 years of a slow go in Ukraine, Russia still ties with China for the number 2 spot in military world power. Had Netanyahu been in power, he would have unleashed 'hell' in major Ukrainian cities and had a full mobilization back in 2022. The conflict would have ended in 2022. The man has no regard for human life - especially innocent civilians.

- only putin in his head knows why he took the decisions he took, but i believe in the explanation given by rus hardliner nationalists who think that he and part of his entourage still believe relations with the "former western partners" will be restored to the level they were in the time of Angela Merkel! They also believe that an official declaration of war now and total mobilization could provoke civil unrest inside the RF and Putin is interested in maintaining the status quo within the society where "everything is normal and smooth" and the war is a special operation done with some volunteers "somewhere at the periphery"

- as for netanyahu as much as he is accused even from the Hague, you have to admit he is a far more determined and ideologically aligned leader! Plus he fights at best starved rebels with old rifles! Ukr had a well educated population who quickly got armed to the teeth
 
Zelensky just got kicked off the stage at Davos, looks like everyone's finally sick of his shit.
Ukraine is now on a timer to do what they can before all their support gets pulled.



Where did that happen in the video dumbass?
The fact that you believe what Skabeeva says and believe what you just wrote tells what an absolute idiot you are!

Your posts are like Jekyll and Hyde. At times you make well reasoned solid posts even if we don't see eye to eye on most things to do with this war. Then at other times you post complete fiction like this or the time you posted casualty numbers from an X post which even the most inebriated Russian military blogger wouldn't bother writing. What gives?
 
BTW interestingly that Ukraine had significantly reduced attacks attempts on oil refineries.
It is very suspicious.

Because Russia is using time given to improve refineries protection in all aspects, from counter intelligence and security measures in refineries and safety nets and cages, ofc also installing more radioelectronic warfare stations and improving these really a lot, plus more air defense assets too.

Russia is given gift to prepare more.
Really might rise suspicions about some deal under the table happened....

Oil refineries damages might heavily reduce profits from crude oil industry in Russia, while due to inablity to process all crude oil production in Russia, it automatically will increase crude oil supplies supply in market with this reducing unprocessed crude oil market prices...
 
Damaged refineries with still intact unprocessed crude oil production exactly generates more crude oil supplies than refineries are able to process and cos this price drop for unprocessed crude oil.

U.S and european refineries does have more than enough reprocessing capactity.

Jake claims that to hit refineries will increase raw unprocessed crude oil prices were by logic absurd tales.... absolutely not realistic.
 
For Ukraine most huge problems are financial risks increase in reality. Inflation increases, private ( household ) debts and businesses debts are increasing seriously ...ofc also municipalities debts and gubbermint debts too ( these later will be milked by gubbermint out from plebs pockets not from elite and will be damn hell slowly )...
 
From military things for ukr very big problems are obivious hike in supplies from North Korea Russia is getting. A lot. Different stuff.

2 nd : Russia had seriously increased drones on fiber optic and these are very big problem.

3 rd : Russia had significantly improwed tactiques how to infiltrate with small groups.

They are very carefully recon areas in order to find where ukr does have lesser drones, recon and troops installed.
Then they are doing some actions to distract attention ..... and prefers bad weather conditions episodes when to send 2 -3 guys small teams with task to sneak behind " frontline "....
 
Drones on fiber optic are immune vs radioelectronic warfare and to install air defense units in mortars firing range from enemy positions is super high risk. Especially if to bear in mind that mortar ammo is damn cheaper than howitzers ammo.
 
a guy who used to be a friend of mine, but has been brain washed by Russia, and said some extremely rude things to my wife about Russia "cleansing" Nazi's in Ukraine, just posted his good friend was KIA in Ukraine, and he hadn't heard from him since October. The urge to be a complete dick is pretty hard to fight back right now. He even posted telegram messages between them and the friend only did it for a "better" life and so he could come to America after the war. Are Russians really that delusional in Russia when they sign up for the war still? The kid was young too, and the pictures he posted hes with frail old men in all of them, its sad.
 
Classic MAGA voter is delusional pleb and plancton like ameba. For vancetrump if your real net worth is lesser than 5 m $ you are ameba like plancton usable only for voting. Bum and really poor looser.
POS worth 0 except for vote in elections.
