Freezing Russian Troops Giving Away Positions by Lighting Fires
Poorly equipped mobilized Russian troops in Ukraine's eastern Donbas region have been left with no choice but to light fires to keep themselves warm. In doing so, the Russian soldiers are exposing their positions to Ukraine's armed forces.
"The newly mobilized, who have not yet been taught how to properly disguise themselves and not unmask their position, and have poor ammunition—they lit fires, smoked in the trenches— unmasked positions for the artillery of the Armed Forces of Ukraine," Cherevaty said, Ukraine's Liga News reported.
Cherevaty also said that Russian soldiers are wearing low-quality clothing and boots that are unsuitable for the colder weather. As the average high temperature will drop from 13 degrees Celsius (55 degrees Fahrenheit) through September to November, to zero degrees Celsius (32 degrees Fahrenheit) through December to February, troops will be more unwilling to fight, particularly at night, while those lacking in winter weather clothing and accommodation are highly likely to suffer from non-freezing cold injuries.

Seriously. They have such a stake in the matter, do you really expect them to tell you the truth?
What do you EXPECT them to say?
"We're getting our ass handed to us militarily and economically and there's nothing we can do about it except throw more assets and people into the bonfire"?
You should listen to Brian, who follows the ACTUAL military situation (supplies, logistics, casualties, frontline news) from Ukrainian, American, and Russian sources
Or maybe the Duran
which also pays attention to world politics and economies
I could also point you in the direction of Colonel Douglas Macgegor, former CIA and security contractor Larry Johnson, Moon of Alabama (written by a German) and others who have more objective opinions and don't have such personal, professional and financial stake in Ukraine.
With so many better, more diverse sources, why do you stick with known liars??

A Netflix show for “free thinkers” promotes a whole lot of bunk. It’s hugely popular.
Signym has found similar programs on youtube. Call it “Russian Apocalypse”. It’s hugely popular. And a whole lot of bunk.

What’s interesting to me about this series getting super popular on Netflix is that I’m not sure what percentage of the people who are watching it know that the theory of Atlantis used to be, or sometimes still is, that kind of a theory. I think I can imagine the answer to this question: What are the stakes of this show being popular on Netflix for what our sense of what science is? It’s just more disinformation, more distrust of expertise. But what would you say are the stakes for archaeology?
The biggest stakes right now in the United States are what happens to academic archaeology if university administrators and students and alumni begin demanding that departments of anthropology and archaeology at the university support this line of thinking.

For example, when Brian Berletic (New Atlas) says that the USA is running out if weapons and ammo to give to Ukraine, digging deeper and deeper (and older and older) into it's pile of unused weapons to give to Ukraine, he references US ANNOUNCEMENTS of weapons transfers. And when he discusses the front line, he looks at KIEV's maps. It would be hard to find a more neutral source.
Yanno that thread about "calling someone a Russian troll proves you have no argument"?
Yeah. Go re-read that, because every time you do that, you prove you have no argument.
Plus, you're lying.

why-noahs-ark-will-never-be-found
For more than a century, people have sought the Old Testament vessel that survived the biblical deluge. Archaeologists say it’s a fool’s errand.
There are approximately 198,000,000 more articles about Noah's Ark at https://www.google.com/search?q=no+one+will+ever+prove+that+noah's
+ark+was+found
Signym, you and 198,000,000 people have powerful belief in Russia. I have total disbelief in Russia and the Bible's Noah's Ark because both Russia and the Bible are man-made products by people who were not particularly competent at mundane life, this earthly world rather than a heavenly or spiritual one, yet these people were highly articulate and very skilled at tricking, deceiving, fooling others into believing fiction is reality.

Quote:During the Vietnam War, (USA-issued) facts and figures were in every newspaper, monthly magazine, and TV news report. One set of facts was clear: America extensively damaged Vietnamese real estate while almost no American real estate was damaged. Checking wiki, America was on the losing side. In the distant future, I will check wiki to see who won the war in Ukraine, but for now Russia is extensively damaging Ukrainian real estate while almost no Russian real estate is damaged. Will that achieve a win for Russia? Only time will tell.

Quote:Signym, your article says: "At some point before the end of the year I anticipate that Russia will launch a massive counter offensive." The article is selling a single idea. There is only one scenario: Russian victory is total.

Signym, there isn't one scenario. There are three.
Three scenarios for how war in Ukraine could play out
By Shashank Joshi: Defence editor, The Economist
Consider three scenarios for the year ahead.
1) In the first, Russia snatches victory from the jaws of defeat. Russia’s army stabilises the front lines over the winter months, while building new battalions with freshly mobilised recruits. Meanwhile, Republicans in America block new arms packages for Ukraine, as supplies from Europe run out. Russia’s defence industry is starved of semiconductors and specialised equipment, but churns out enough basic armour and artillery to equip the new forces.
By the spring, the new Russian units go on the attack, forcing back a Ukrainian force that is weary from months of offensive action. Russian drones continue to hammer Ukraine’s energy and water infrastructure. As summer arrives, Ukraine is on the back foot. Russia captures Kryvyi Rih, a key industrial town north of Kherson, and Slovyansk and Kramatorsk in Donetsk. Western countries urge Ukraine to accept a Russian offer of a ceasefire. Volodymyr Zelensky, Ukraine’s president, has little choice but to accept. In the months, perhaps years, that follow, Russia assiduously rearms for another attempt on Kyiv.
2) Far more likely is a second scenario: stalemate. Russia mobilises hundreds of thousands of young men, but cannot turn them into effective fighters. All the best trainers are on the front lines. Experienced officers are dead or already deployed. The recruits are fashioned into basic light-infantry units, lacking armoured vehicles and unfit to go on the offensive—but able to fill trenches and man fortifications.
Russia, having announced a withdrawal from Kherson city in November, safely evacuates the 30,000 or so troops it had on the west bank of the Dnieper river. They retreat east, leaving huge amounts of weaponry behind. It is a triumph for Ukraine, but it ultimately puts Russia in a stronger military position, with the river protecting its left flank. The Ukrainian advance slows to a crawl; Ukrainian troops take heavy casualties for each kilometre of territory won.
Unable to win the war on the battlefield, Mr Putin then tries to prolong it long enough to undermine Ukraine’s economy, sap its morale through strikes on civilian infrastructure and exhaust its partners. Europe struggles to fill its gas-storage sites during 2023, causing blackouts as winter arrives. Mr Putin aims to hold out until late 2024, when he hopes Donald Trump will retake the White House and end support for Ukraine. But it is a high-stakes gamble: Russian opinion turns against the war, its economy shrivels and Mr Putin looks ever more vulnerable.
3) The third scenario is the most encouraging—and perhaps the most dangerous. Ukraine keeps the initiative and the momentum, inflicting heavy damage on Russian forces as they leave Kherson and then bringing its long-range HIMARs rockets within range of Crimea for the first time. Russian lines in Luhansk collapse, with Ukraine recapturing Severodonetsk and then quickly moving farther east. As Russian casualties mount, new recruits refuse to fight. Western countries rush new air-defence systems to Ukraine, blunting the impact of Russia’s terror tactics, based on its rapidly dwindling arsenal of precision missiles.
In the spring Mr Zelensky orders his army to open a new front in Zaporizhia. Five brigades slice through Russian lines, cutting Mr Putin’s land bridge to Crimea and encircling Mariupol by the summer. Ukraine moves its HIMARs rocket launchers into the south, targeting ports, bases and de

Quote:The article was written by Larry C. Johnson. He is best known for spreading a hoax in 2008 that Republican operatives had a videotape of Michelle Obama complaining about "whitey". In 2013, Johnson falsely accused John Kerry of war crimes in Vietnam, alleging that Kerry had "raped some poor Vietnamese woman."

Unlike you, SECOND, I don't re-post every POS I find on the inet. So you won't find me posting about Trump being peed on by Russian hos, or Michelle complaining about whitey.
Where there is evidence for something, I post about it.
Also, your "three predictions" are already seriously out of date. Russia withdrew from Kherson, but in good order with all of their equipment.
Try to keep up.

5,595 civilians killed
440 children killed
2 million civilians illegally deported by Russia
47,145 Russian war crimes under investigation
10,189 civilians injured
847 children injured
323 children missing
4,500 missiles fired by Russia
Note: Ukraine doesn't publish its military casualties. The number of civilian casualties is expected to be higher since it doesn't include data from the areas with heavy hostilities or those occupied by Russia.

Signym, win or lose, a big repair bill will be sent to Russia for the damage to real estate in Ukraine. I suppose Russia won't pay if it loses and cannot afford to completely fix all it destroyed if it wins.
How much damage has been done to Ukraine?
