Good thread on Russian maintenance issues on all those vehicles that some think aren't being abandoned.
Maintenance issues? Looks like the front of that vehicle got it. It's on fire in the front.

I hope I'm totally wrong here, but to me that looks like Russians have pinned the Ukrainians into a smaller portion of the city and now they're finishing them off with shells. I hope I'm totally off base though.
Was this not correct, then?TRM said:
Kherson has "fallen" in the sense that the Russians have control of some key areas, but the fighting is far from over.
Kherson has fallen to the Russian military, becoming the first major Ukrainian city to come under Russian control since the invasion last week. The mayor, Igor Kolykhaev, told me he met today with the Russian commander who plans to set up a military administration.

Seeing so many examples of this now. It was mentioned earlier today that Xi wanted Putin to wait until after the Olympics. Hilarious.
Xi may have cost Putin a war.

True. The list of people that have had regular access to him over the last two years is short. Like less than half a dozen.

Last Friday on a video call where he spoke. To be clear, it was Alex Younger who was the most recent former head of MI6 and not the current head of MI6. Based on what I've seen from the latter, i might trust Younger's information moreso anyway.wildmen09 said:YouBet said:According to head of MI6, three of his four inner circle no longer have his ear.

Quote:
"The beginning of the Barbarossa operation" he told his generals, "will have to be postponed up to four weeks." This postponement of the attack on Russia in order that the Nazi warlord might vent his personal spite against a small Balkan country which had dared to defy him was probably the most catastrophic single decision in Hitler's career.
Quote:
General Halder, the gifted Chief of the General Staff, were to recall it with deep bitterness but also with more understanding of its consequences than they showed at the moment of its making, when later the deep snow and subzero temperatures of Russia hit them three or four weeks short of what they thought they needed for final victory. Forever afterward they and their fellow generals would blame that hasty, ill-advised decision of a vain and infuriated man for all the disasters that ensued.
