Russia - threadbanned users in OP

Crimea river

Can't argue with out resident tanker and historian...

It's a big gun thingy

Looks like more fertiliser on order.

I'm not someone who got banned and re-registered. Why would you even think that? I have portrayed no characteristics of someone who is banned. The only thing I did was extremely briefly point out some successful attacks of one side of a war and how the attack from the other side may have been a response attack. And for that, a bunch of people started going crazy with inflammatory, vile, offensive, and plain sickening remarks, lol.

I had no idea this is an Irish site. I've been following the Ukrainian/Russian/American/NATO situation since 2014, when the illegal, violent US/CIA - backed coup took place in Ukraine and when Ukraine started to bomb and shell it's own Ukrainian & Russian citizens in Eastern Ukraine (especially the areas of Donetsk and Lugansk). During all those years, I've never come across this site. I have no idea how but a few days ago I first came across this site. I saw that this thread was huge (almost 3000 pages) so it's an extremely active thread and therefore I decided to register and post.

Also, the name of the thread is "Russia" and not "Support Ukraine / US or else you'll be attacked" or something similar.

Regarding the attack a few days ago on the Russians. I don't believe Russia's number so far of 89 dead. I also don't believe the Ukrainian / Western number of 500 or 600. I believe it's around 200 with another 150 wounded. That's what a Russian soldier said who was there helping to remove the rubble. He said from what he saw, it looked like around 200 dead bodies and 150 wounded.

In response, it seems like Russia struck back and destroyed the HIMARS with return fire. Furthermore, via missile and air strikes, 4 more HIMARS, 4 RSZO RM-70 Vampire MLRS', over 800 rockets in storage facilities, 8 military cars, and over 200 Ukrainian soldiers & foreign mercenaries were taken out. Those #s are in addition to the deployment point of one of Ukraine's Foreign Legion units in Maslovka apparently being destroyed along with 130 of it's foreign mercenaries.

It looks like a situation similar to the Azovstal plant situation (spring, summer 2022) is starting to develop in Soledar as the Russians are in the process of pulling off a sort of pincer movement similar to what they're doing in Bakhmut. The Ukrainian 128th Brigade and 61st Brigade are said to have fled into the salt mines as they were forced to retreat with no where else to go as they were being attacked from almost every direction (mostly 3 main areas, from the north from Yakovlefka, from the Dekonskaya railway station which Russia captured, and from the south Bakhmutskoye region).

Bakhmut fighting is intense. Russia is trying to complete full encirclement. If it does, 10s of thousands of Ukrainian forces could be surrounded. According to some, it's around 50,000. If Ukraine looses the Kleshcheevka and Toretsk settlements/regions, it will be a humungous blow to them as loosing Toretsk could cause a very quick collapse of the southern front portion of their Bakhmut defenses and loosing Kleshcheevka would mean the cut-off logistics of the forces in west of the area and that could then lead to being fully encircled.

Sources for this please

Would love to watch but seems it's inaccessible outside the UK as it's BBC. Anyone know if it's been posted on an internationally accessible platform?

Your overlords declared that they destroyed 35 out of 20 HIMARS. So they couldn’t have destroyed what no longer existed. You’re so deep in Russian propaganda that you are drowning, but too clueless to realise it.

I bet he/she feels like a crusade on a holly mission who traveled over seven seas, lands, and mountains to register themselves on this "unknown, never seen before" Irish website that that they didn't know was Irish (.ie) to preach the holly truth about nazi Ukraine, 8 years Bambas dombili, bad Amurica, and so on, only to be amused and shocked how the pagans here are not opened to their messages. Shock shock, horror!

Yanukovych was a Russian agent so there was nothing illegal about getting rid of him. Russia started the war in East Ukraine so it's their fault.

You seem to think that we are a bunch of uninformed gobshytes, probably living with pigs in our outhouses. If you are from the USA as you say, then you are sheltered from the immediate effects of this war. How many Ukrainian refugees are landing on your doorstep for example? Are your children finding it hard to get rented accommodation and paying rent increases as the squeeze comes on your housing market due to rapidly expanding immigration?

In normal times you'll find a bit of healthy scepticism here of US foreign policy but when it comes to the rights for democracy and war on your doorstep, there is little place for the sort of anti US, anti NATO crap you want to peddle. As Europeans, we have watched Russia over the last decade flexing it's muscle and subjugating it's neighbours. There came a point reached last February when enough was enough and Europe and the rest of the 'western world' has taken the pain and backed Ukraine in it's mighty efforts to put the oppressor back in it's box.

So we'll take our news from multiple sources than you very much and make up our own minds. No room for the likes of you.

You bring a smile to my face comrade. Why would we even think you are a re-reg - Then proceeds to peddle the exact same tripe. Like before, I love all the links you provide to back up your claims too. Keep fighting the good fight for your fascist brethren.

You would think they could use a different actor for every occasion in a country of 140 mil, but hey, this is what schizophrenia does, can't trust anyone. 😁

He was certainly pro-Russian, as apparently around half the population of Ukraine were at the time; you know - all those people who voted for him in a democratic election.

By your logic though, Zelensky, being pro-western, must be a western agent, so a coup against him would be perfectly justified. Maybe even a war?
