You know Moonpie....that's good enough.

Um. Okay. Right...

I mentioned ukranian units being wiped out and you said it was caused by the Ukrainians. Thought maybe you knew something that I didn’t. ‍

Oh, well built in the 70's. So they are only 53 years old...

Aren’t the Russians still using the IL “Bear” propeller bombers ?

Paywall.

But I was able to glance for a few seconds before it kicked me out...

Yes, Ukraine has been losing troops...

Yes, Ukraine doesn't have the munitions reserves of the invader...

Neither deserve the pessimism the article suggested. They are facts of the war, but every war has its shortages and deaths. Ukraine is getting more and more newer equipment (Leopards, Abrams, HIMARS, etc) while Russia is resorting to T55s and cannot provide CAS for crying out loud.

The glimpse of the article placed russian losses at the 200,000 mark compared to 12,000 for Ukraine... even with a smaller military, those are great ratios.

Since you seem to be able to access their articles, here is one where the headline looked interesting

You’re a little off on the ukraine casualties. They said 120,000. Not 12,000. The article isn’t pessimistic though. It’s a senior military officer revealing the truth about what they are experiencing, and it’s just not as great as some people have been convinced.

Good drone video:

So I missed a zero trying to read it before the pay me pop-up blocked me

Well, it would be good drone video if it didn't have that little jump cut at the moment of impact. I realize that may be a part of complying with Youtube rules (I don't know, though) but, still, it robs the video of the impact it should have. We've all become much more media-savvy than we were in the past; unexplained jump cuts are something most folks have come to identify and wonder about.

Either way, if you do a google search for something like “Kupol Ukraine” you’ll find more information on the situation/ the battalion commander.

mistakes happen, but I’m sure you can see why it caught my attention that you correctly read the number of Russian causalties but not the number of ukranian casualties, and nothing in your post seemed to indicate that it seemed off to you.

Xi bends his bitch putler over even more. Humiliates him by refusing to sign pipeline deal that putler had declared ready to sign.

What putler was too stupid to see was China's long game of getting back territory it lost when it was weak. Instead his dream of empire has left him weak and on his knees. He left his back door completely open and Xi is pounding it.

Xi Jinping’s plan to annex Russian territory is there for all to see

The long-debated agreement on “Power of Siberia 2” (POS2) – a massive pipeline project to pump gas from Western Siberia to China via Mongolia – has become emblematic of the one-sided and slightly abusive relationship between China and Russia since the start of the Ukraine war. It is not good...

As opposed as I am to China's imperial aspirations...that's some funny shit right there.

China has been stalling that deal for 4-5 yrs. Finally Ru decided to sell at China demanded price so prelims were started on the pipeline. Now stalled again till China gets complete control. NO surprise!
