With Russian special forces successfully cross the river at Antonovsky and Russian is bombarding enemy positions, probably the hypothesized Odessa offensive may commence soon ?

Comments from readers: Don't by hasty. Have to see what will unfold. This is just the first probing attack. The road is still long.

Regarding the rumored incoming Odessa offensive, will Russia be at advantage if they really want to do it ?

Compare to one year before, the Ukrainian armed forces are not only bogged down in Kursk but also fail to prevent Russian advances in Kharkov. Not to mention that Ukrainian situation in Donetsk is deteriorating, regardless of Ukrainian bogus claim of "killing one Russian division per day".

And of course France failed to fulfill its empty promise of sending 2000 troops to Kherson.

So yes, it is more favourable for Russia if they want to do the Odessa offensive in this time.

Murican bred imbeciles who still have an issue with figuring out how irrelevant they become.

The guys from Duran still waste 60 to 80% of their videos on what the Americans/Trump think/want/propose.

Still the best way to go to Odessa is from the North. Less river crossings.

That's libel. The French did their duty and trained 2k troops in their way of war.

That the 155th brigade just up and disappearred in a cloud of smoke upon arrival is testament to that high quality of training. They even retreat like the French

You can argue they retreat even better then the French lol.

Why do the Ukrainians prefer French weapons to any others offered by NATO? They're the only ones that have been guaranteed to have never been used

A French line officer in the 19th century asked his British counterpart why British officers wear red coats into battle. The LImey bastard replied, so that our men do not see that we are bleeding and so therefore do not become afraid. Not too long after that the French Army adopted brown trowsers.

Rolling Eyes Rolling Eyes Rolling Eyes

I have told you that a long time ago - focusing on a folk who broadcasts from his closed wardrobe is just a waste of time.
In the next session, he will masturbate online, if that pays off.

Ofc - the only reason we are forced to cover anything about Trump is due to the numerous bad takes coming from Serb and American retards which derails any proper conversation with outlandish takes and bizarre commentary

Go to any thread the usual suspects post and you will see a litany of bad takes and wrong conclusions

From Syria to Ukraine to anything it’s like Denys Davidov mixed with David D level retard analysis

Russia needs to make similar missiles.

The bag continues to close around the Ukrofascist garrisons condemned by Kiev regime to stay and die in Kurakhovo.

Steady advance in preparation for an eventual assault on Pokrovsk. Then its on to the Dnepr.

Alamo, sorry American gridiron football is in full swing so I am a bit tipsy right now so refresh my memory, which one has the anthracite mines again?

Second Kurakhovo is shaping up to be such a nice firebag. It looks like the one in Kursk. Wonder which one gets closed first.

Meanwhile in Washington DC, a USA senate committee lead by Richard Blumenthal continued to accuse Russia of using "core Amercian technology" in Ukraine.

To be more detail, the senate accused personnel in Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), Analog Devices, Intel, and Texas Instruments Inc. of supplying "core American technology" for Russian missiles, AFV and UAV in Ukraine.

The senate also lamented that USA Bureau of Industry and Security is underfunded and lacks of up-to-date management and supervising facilities which lead to them overlooking "core American technology" smuggled into Russia.

Russia has lots of computer geeks and technical savvy people. Its allied, at least economically to three powers that are full of geeks and nerds (China, North Korea, and India) who know how to engineer and reverse engineer to high quality damn near everything. Hell there are cases where the Chinese knock off actually works better than the name brand product it ripped off. Here's a hint Senatewhores, in a global economy where everyone buy from someone sanctions and embargos don't work. Russia, of all countries is especially immune to sanctions, because it has an educated population, a strong industrial and manufacturing base, and the domestic raw materials to back it up. The 2014 Gas Station with nukes is long gone. The 8 years of sanctions were the best possible thing to happen to Russian industry, civilian and military. Really, sanctions are like medieval papal interdictions.* They work a couple times, but if you start doing them every time someone disagrees with the Church nobody really gives a flying f*** about you anymore.

*Interdiction was basically when the pope closed all the Churches in a nation state because the king had committed a crime or supported a heresy or apostasy, and so to force his hand, the churches were closed to pressure the population, fearful for their eternal souls, to rise up against the monarch. In the 12th and 13th century these worked fairly well. By the 14th and 15th century interdiction started to lose power and in the early 16th century a lot of princes just decided to heck with this, lets become Lutherans, Zwingliists and Calvinists.

Hell there are cases where the Chinese knock off actually works better than the name brand product it ripped off.

"The F-35 and J-35 is a good example... "

No, it is not. You think the F-35 is bad, but that J-35 doesn't even have a proper engine. You guys at your age should never be fooled by Chinese military fanboys. You think Americans are ignorant and arrogant, try those Chinese nationalists and racists who represent the majority of Chines population...

I'm Unpredictable: Trump Refuses to Make Peace on Ukraine, by Kirill Strelnikov for RiaNovosti. 12.22.2024.

The Kiev regime's attacks on Rylsk and Kazan are a clear signal that the Western "war party," whose interests Zelensky serves, is determined not just to escalate the conflict, but to secure continued support from the United States even under a new president and to continue its course of inflicting a strategic defeat on Russia.

Russia's response to provocations does not frighten Kiev's curators at all : they are confident that Russia will not bomb European capitals, and they will calmly survive any destruction and losses in Ukraine (including the destruction of Zelensky and his entire gang) and find new puppets.

Their main task is to clearly show Trump that it is impossible to end the conflict in one fell swoop (“look: Ukraine is balking, Europe is ready to stand to the last, Putin will definitely refuse your proposals – why bother?”), and if it doesn’t work out quickly and beautifully, then there may be different options.

And active trading on these options has already begun.

Zelensky's puppeteers are cynical and not stupid people, and they have calculated Trump perfectly. Trump is a businessman to the core, and the word "profit" is first in his dictionary.

At one time, Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev expressed reasonable doubt that the United States (even under the new president) would voluntarily give up the colossal profits and new opportunities provided by the sanctions war against Russia and the ever-deeper involvement of Europe in the conflict. According to him, in addition to billions for the American military-industrial complex, from July 2023 to June 2024, the United States increased the volume of goods supplied to the EU by 93 billion (plus 34% compared to the 2021 level), which reached 367 billion dollars. And that's not all: "Oil supplies from the United States to Europe have doubled (plus 101%, that is, 37.3 million tons more). Liquefied natural gas - by 18.5 million tons (plus 181%). Fertilizers - from practically zero to 666 (!) thousand tons. And so on for many export items. The profit is convincing."

This position is also confirmed by many Western sources. For example, back in January 2023, the American think tank Wilson Center published a report that clearly demonstrated that the conflict in Ukraine "could strengthen the sole leadership of the United States in the world after decades of uncertainty. The United States <…> can not only become an economic and political leader, but also win the hearts and minds of millions around the world." This thesis was developed in February 2024 by experts from Yale University . According to their calculations, "90% of the costs of aid to Ukraine remains in the United States and creates thousands of jobs; the conflict in Ukraine has given new life to NATO and can relieve the economic burden (in its sole content) from the United States; Russian military power could be greatly degraded without the participation of a single American soldier."

Apparently, Trump was not indifferent to these arguments, but, as usual, decided to squeeze the maximum out of this situation: "You want the conflict to continue? Fine, but you have to pay for it!" Just the day before yesterday, the Financial Times quoted sources in Trump's team who reported that the new president was feverishly changing his tune and confirmed that "the United States will continue to help Ukraine," meaning that there is no longer any talk of turning off the tap. In turn, Trump set a condition for continued support: European countries are required to raise military spending to five percent of GDP (from the current two percent). It is clear that most of this money will go to the American military-industrial complex. Another demand of Trump in response to the continuation of the war is that Europe completely switch to American hydrocarbons. Last Friday, Reuters reported that Trump gave Europe an ultimatum: either you dramatically increase your purchases of oil and gas from us, or I will impose prohibitive tariffs on all (!) goods from the European Union going to the United States. There is no doubt that the European "hawks" will agree to the conditions set - this will be the price for tying Trump's shoelaces.

Thus, the deal with the "war party" is incredibly profitable for Trump: the Europeans will take on the entire financing of the military operations; this money will end up in American pockets anyway; Europe, weakened by unbearable expenses, is increasingly falling into economic and political dependence on the United States and will forever cease to be their competitor - bellissimo! Why stop the party in Villaribo and Villabajo when it is in full swing?

As for Trump's firm and sworn promises to end the conflict in Ukraine in 24 hours, he will have no problems with this at all: he will easily and simply refuse any words, as has happened many times before.

Interestingly, the creative transformation of Trump's rhetoric on Ukraine was analyzed by the American publication USA Today and, using specific examples, showed how Trump's position was constantly softening - and as a result, what remained of his loud statements were now pathetic and barely audible excuses. Compare for yourself:

• June 22, Philadelphia campaign rally : "Before I even get to the Oval Office, I will quickly end the terrible war between Ukraine and Russia."

• September 10, debate with Kamala Harris : "I'll decide everything even before I become president";

• October 17, Alfred E. Smith Memorial Event: "As President-elect, I Will Decide";

• December 16, press conference in Mar-a-Lago: "There's been little progress so far. It's complicated. I'll try."

The publication concludes: "Trump (no longer) looks very interested and capable of fulfilling his promises."
Obviously, those who called for not believing Trump's dove-like cooing were right, because it all comes down to a simple basic fact - as long as American corporations can profit from the war with impunity, it will be long, and no one "on the other side" will wave a magic wand.

Peace can only be achieved by ourselves and, as has always been the case, alone. And the only way to peace is through a complete, final and irrevocable victory, because any half-hearted agreements are guaranteed to lead to a new and, most likely, larger and bloodier war.

@umcvulcan, Pokrovsk is the last anthracite deposit and mining complex the ukrs have left - not for long as Russkie are 3km from it.

Anyway, looks like more and more Kim's toys are arriving for testing ...



The same echelon that carried Kowsan SPGs was carrying something else ...



Looks suspiciously similar to Pukguksong-2, KN-15 missiles ...



A funny memory - this is a cold launch missile, with the same technology that was developed for NK SLBMs ... Which are nothing else rather than old Soviet technology obtained from ... Ukraine

And just as a background - it is quite potent and brand new missile - tests started in 2017 only. Chassis has a solid off road potential. The missile itself has some sort of terminal guidance to increase accuracy. During the tests, Koreans revealed that the missile can make photos of a targeted area and transmit those back to the receiving station on the ground. This might suggest some sort of active correction.

North Korea has made an incredible leap forward in technology when it comes to missile weapons. They are probably at the forefront.

First and foremost, they have a working industrial base to produce all that shit serially.
This is something that already has a giant advantage over all of NATO. It is crazy.
