  2. Some entertainment value here:


    “Russia is in Kherson forever,” Stremousov said, claiming the Ukrainian offensive had been derailed on the very same day it began.

    But a Ukrainian activist was quick to point out that Stremousov appeared to have filmed the video more than 500 miles from Kherson—somewhere near the Cathedral of Annunciation in Voronezh, which could be seen in the background, along with the Voronezh reservoir.

    :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

    Most Russian soldiers are constantly drunk. They see probably double the amount of equipment they destroy.

    There was a fight bethween Putin and Medvedev.
    Putin put Medvedev on the top of an organization that should organize and control LPR.
    Putin said:" Who can better control all these alcohol and drug addicted people than the biggest alcoholic from Russia."
    Medvedev answered: " Most Russians don't understand how Putin could become so quickly the biggest marginal Russian."
    Let's hope that Medvedev will do a global mobilization in LPR and attach Russia. LOL.

    The last 48 hours gas prices went down 27% on the spot market as situation in Europe seems not to be so dramatic. Most countries reached the initial levels of gas supplies faster than planned. Even Germany is ahead of their scheme. Newspapers like to attract readers with spectacular news, resulting in fake information.
    In war many times things are not what they looks like at first sight. Disinformation is used by both parties for strategic reasons.

  6. I am telling ya, if a peace deal will not be negotiated, then we will be sent to fight with the Russians, not to liberate and free the Ukrainians, although you can choose to believe whatever you want, it will be a fight for Russia's resources. Life is getting increasingly expensive, of course, it is all Putin's fault and our banksters had absolutely nothing to do with the rise of inflation. So to avoid all the social unrest and slaughter of the upper classes, we will be shifted to this damned war, which will be absolutely catastrophic for all. You won't stop Russians blowing up all of their nukes if and when they realise that they are losing the fight. And that will be kaput to all of us.

    My opinion about the gas is as follows:
    Putin needs the money from selling gas, so he has to sell to Europe as he cannot sell it elsewhere.
    But at the same time he wants to create problems for Europe by delivering not enough to create scarcity. So Putin is watching the struggle of the Europeans. Europe has send all the time pessimistic messages, that maybe convinced Putin not to reduce the deliveries more. Which means that he could catch still millions that he needed desperately to finance his war. But at the same time Europe could increase the amount of gas they need for the winter.
    Putin was looking for the optimal balance between hurting Europe but not hurting himself financially more than needed.
    It is clear now that most countries have a +80% level of reserves now.
