Pimpadeaux 2,271 Posted June 17, 2023 3 hours ago, Casual Observer said: Gas is $3.75/gallon here. Inflation is high across the board on a number of items, including necessities like food. Pointing to any incremental decrease from ridiculous highs is a clown world move and this economy is further being throttled by unnecessary Fed interest rate hikes. A Russian victory doesn't mean a whole lot either way. The white nationalist, fascist attempted insults don't really make ay sense here, unless you want me to post photos of UKR soldiers with swastika emblems on their uniforms. Are you even white? What color would you expect the population of a Country to be that was founded and stocked by white people? Were they to have pride in their country, would they be labeled white nationalists by you? The fock. Post a picture of you wearing that BK crown. MAGAturds whine about gas prices and blame Biden, failing to understand supply and demand and simple economics and ignoring the the affects that the Saudies, COVID and the war in Ukraine had on those prices as well other products that have experienced inflation. They whine and blame Democrats when oilfield workers are out of jobs but don't realize that low oil prices mean less drilling and putting those workers out of jobs. It's total hypocrisy. Gas is $3 a gallon where I live, and I'm happy paying that because it's the sweet spot between oilfield employment and not getting hammered at the pump. You couldn't be more wrong about a Russian victory in Ukraine. In addition to expanding its turf, taking over the world's breadbasket and getting its hands on a rich supply of natural resources, it would create all kinds of regional and global instability. Russia agreed to leave Ukraine alone in exchange for Ukraine handing over its nukes. Then it broke that agreement by seizing Crimea and obviously again with a total invasion. There is bipartisan support for Ukraine in this country, and it's the MAGAturds who root for Putin, oppose support and blindly believe whatever right-wing infotainment source tells them to believe. MAGAturds simply parrot what their infotainers say. It's disgusting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I could care less if there's bipartisan support for wasting more money and lives in UKR. It's called the uniparty for a reason. You're talking out of your ass about the price of gas and oilfield employment. We had lower gas prices and higher production and employment under you know who. Despite having two experts in the field on this bored, no one has actually stated that we are implementing the idiotic and Bolshevik Green New Deal. Of course you avoided any discussion about higher fuel (transportation) costs and its effect on everything else. You're also talking out of your ass about regional and global instability. The world used to buy oil from Russia. Now, Western Europe suffers for lack of it. UKR had been selling grain during the current conflict, with Russia's approval. You never did tell me if you are white. BK crown for you. Wear it proudly as bored King of Clown World. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Here’s what’s happened so far https://www.cnn.com/2023/06/17/europe/ukraine-counteroffensive-explained-hnk-intl This explains what I mentioned before, that Ukrainians are probing Russian positions and trying to draw Russians here and there. The main thrust of the offensive hasn't revealed itself. It's a chess game. You're too deluded to wrap your quivering Jello of a brain around it, but that's what's going on. What the Ukrainians are doing isn't intended to gain ground, and you can bet the West helped shape the strategy in this. Wake the fock up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Voltaire 4,564 Posted June 18, 2023 It's a lot more effort to mount an attack than hold a defensive position. The pundits have been predicating/ expecting a Ukrainian offensive since the weather warmed in spring. We're being told the offensive finally is going on now, but if so, if seems underwhelming. OK probing for weakness, fine. As far as I can tell, we've only seen minor flare ups that don't look terribly different than the stalemate going on before the offensive. Both sides seem pretty exhausted. It sure looks like this war is going to continue to drag out into autumn. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JustinCharge 2,397 Posted June 18, 2023 its been media day in the Ukrainian counter offensive. Ukrainians reportedly releasing fresh footage of their robots laying mines in captured settlements. Russians reportedly releasing tons of footage of Ukrainian soldiers committing mutiny and surrendering instead of charging into suicidal front lines, showing them be treated well, and explaining they will eventually be exchanged for Russian prisoners of war. Rumors are lots of Ukrainians surrendered rather than fight last night and Russia is releasing such footage to convince more that its OK to surrender.

JustinCharge 2,397 Posted June 20, 2023 Some interesting rumors regarding the Wagner group. That's the private elite military group Russia uses. It is rumored that they will be deployed to the "Belgorod region" later this year. But the thing is, Wagner is an elite unit and specializes in attacking not defending. There's also rumors of a second wave of ground attacks on Kiev. So is Russia planning on holding the lines for weeks and wiping out lots of Ukrainian troops this summer, then marching on Kiev again?

JustinCharge 2,397 Posted June 22, 2023 We're getting reports that the Ukraine front lines are breaking down near Lyman and Kupiansk. This is along the eastern front. Word is that Ukraine left is most inexperienced soldiers there and the Russians were able to break through and the Ukrainians either surrendered en masse or were just captured as POWs and as a result the Russians captured a LOT of territory over the night, cutting Ukrainian supply lines to a number of cities and Russia is now threatening to take both cities. Western MSM is saying "attacks have intensified" on those regions. https://news.yahoo.com/ukrainian-defenders-name-2-reasons-092709939.html Ukrainian Defenders name 2 reasons for intensification of Russian attacks on Lyman and Kupiansk fronts Ukrainska Pravda Wed, June 21, 2023 at 2:27 AM PDT·2 min read The Russian occupation forces have intensified their assaults on the Lyman and Kupiansk fronts to draw the defenders' forces away from the supply route and reach the administrative border of Luhansk Oblast. Source: Ukrainska Pravda sources in the Armed Forces of Ukraine Details: In particular, according to sources in one of the National Guard of Ukraine units, in the afternoon of 20 June, Russians intensified their assault on Ukrainian positions on the Lyman front.

Russia has lost a huge part of their income and Europe uses far far less Russian oil than before. NATO has been expanded, unified, and now borders Russia quite bigly.
