The Ukraine war thread
-
I had read about what TG posted. I wonder what the source is. It’s not obviously in Ukraine’s interest to tell the Orcs how they pulled it off. It’s possible this explanation is a plant to get them to slow their logistics to a crawl for a few weeks while they open every container.
Only non-witches get due process.

Am sure there is a rationale behind disclosing the execution of the op. You may be right given that the Russians are massing troops along the Kharkiv front. Anything the impedes or interdicts the logistics of that build up, is tactically sound in order to prepare defensive operations against a massed attack along one or more salients.

Latham, like others in the Realist school of thought never disappoint in their pessimistic view of geopolitics. He at least never seems fixated on laying blame for conflict on the US and West. Rather he just comes across as defeatist. That being said, his assessment of the facts on ground are compelling despite offering little in the way of how to contain the Kremlin once it reaches its stated (and as yet, only assumed and/or undisclosed) objectives in this particular war. I remain firmly unconvinced that Putin does not have far more imperial objectives on his menu than Latham believes.

Russia’s terms for a puppet Ukraine:
Not sure what purpose Witkoff serves in this other than straight man to Trump’s loon act.

Actually it’s Russian colloquialism for someone acting the arsehole idiot. Goes like this
рожа его просит кирпич.
