Battle of Bakhmud won by Russia

[Silver Cat]

I personally don't know anything either....but I did notice the OPSEC silence.

My guess is that when the road beds dry out enough to handle the heavy equipment we will know well enough what's going on.

Psychological impact is going to be incredible too....especially when those goat herders from Ukraine show up with better weapons than the Russians have and in superior numbers with better training.

Just saying....someone is going to get their feelings hurt. And where the sanctions have hurt Russia they aren't starving. Food is just really expensive right now with many varieties missing. Especially outside of Moscow in the countryside.

Actually, all that problems with export of grain caused supply growth in the domestic market, and, therefore, price of bread is almost same.

Price of pork is slightly decreased.

Gasoline prices were stable (same way - problems with export), diesel fuel increased because of increased military demands.

Prices on Russia-made cars increased significantly, because military industry is working hard, demands of steel and aluminum is skyrocketing and all export problems hardly can compensate it.

There is nothing really serious or dangerous. As I said earlier - "Russia, allied with China is unbeatable economically, and China, allied with Russia is unbeatable military". And now Russia is allied not only with China, but with India too, as well as with 85% of the world.

That's why the USA need capacity to fight and win nuclear war against Russia and China simultaneously.

Even if the ground was hard, they can't start an offensive without the reserves to exploit a breakthrough.

They're close, they're starting to get jiggy.

The AFU released a bunch of new combat footage today.

This is some crazy shit from Davinci Wolves.

Just a nice pic.

Information coming from the Russian government or propagandists is never going to be true...if they admit anything whatsoever.

Russian goods and processed foods are not trusted...just saying. The big guys who processed 80-90% of all Russian processed foods (bread, dairy, grain products or liquor and etc) have pulled out and those plants now operate under Russian control....well profit because there certainly are no controls.

Yeah...the Wolves are off the hook!
The go-pro helmet cam got the footage of a very professional and seasoned platoon.
The Russians never stood a chance even though they got in close. (You see them throwing grenades and stuff)

The whole time things are going on he is giving good and reasoned orders and adjusting to battlefield conditions and even asking for intelligence reports (drone camera?) and giving orders based on them. He is also firing back with at least two confirmed kills of the 7 that I saw. (Could have been more)

Then as soon as the fighting stops gets everyone ready for the next round and checks on everyone to make sure they are OK. That's pure professionalism right there.

That was a 1:1 exchange between equal numbers of Russians to Ukranians....both similarly equipped....and we seen who died and who lived. It wasn't the Russians who lived. Some Russians lived by running away. (Might have gotten shot in the back)

It's brutal and ugly and everyone has a story of their life and the people they matter to that instantly stops by bullets.

Invading Ukraine is a war crime.

Only one of the firsts..... but not the last..... not by a very long shot....only the beginning! better fasten your seatbelt!

Do you favor the Russians in this conflict?

6 weeks into this thread, Battle of Bakhmut still being won by Russia...

Oof.

Statement from the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation:

"On the evening of April 20, during the flight of a Su-34 VKS aircraft over Belgorod, an abnormal descent of aviation ammunition occurred."

Translation, we bombed ourselves, lol.

The gang that couldn't shoot straight.

Just asked my friend to take some pictures of combo meals' prices in few American restaurants.

"Tasty and point" (rebranded McDonalds)

Burger King (still Burger King and don't care about Joe's war)

KFC (still KFC, but there are talks about rebranding).

Franklin's burgers (just rewrote their name in Russian).

Fridays (still Fridays and don't care about rebranding).

Exchange course 1:81,5.
The prices seems not expensive.

Isn't this friend posting by any chance on some American political forum under the nickname Silver Cat?

The reason Burger King and Subway and a few others have not rebranded is because the franchise agreements included the rights to the name. There is no corporate ownership or support, but they can't prevent them from using the name.

KFC sold their holdings in Russia back in October, and it was supposed to be rebranded to "Rostic's".

What burger will be in the new Artemovsk?

Delirious. OP favors Vicky and the CIA leaving Ukraine.

Also many of the new owners are too cheap to change the name or buy new boards.

It's like Nestle....stuff is still coming out of the Nestle factory that was sold for pennies on the dollar....and they still had packaging in storage. But everything is locally sourced and the standards and flavors are not the same. It just looks similar. Same with the other processed foods.

The Bahmut cauldron is about to close.

And once again the Russians are unable to maneuver or rebuild their units as the Ukrainians are about to strike. Crime and the four oblasts, or a good part of them, will be Ukrainian again before the end of June.

The entire west will ensure that the Rodina stays within the boundaries of 1991.

They are when the average person in Russia only earns something to the equivalent of $9,000-12,000/yr.

Yes, the world really is transparent. Some people would rather listen to lies (what they want to hear) and propaganda than the truth and face obvious truths.

It's like the whole Nazi narrative concerning Ukraine. We have and continue to see lots of videos (millions of hours) of Ukraine in combat and in daily life. There literally have been no nazis whatsoever. Still haven't seen or found any....and people have been looking. And if there are any they are in hiding from the Jewis president Zelenski.

And so now Putin and Russia have stopped pushing that narrative....it was an obvious lie and yet...there have been those on this forum that claimed it to be the truth...some holdouts still do. Why is beyond my understanding.

 

[Silver Cat]

What burger will be in the new Artemovsk?

Likely - DonMac (local rebranded Macdonalds). May be - Food Point, BigBurger or S'yeshka.
