US Senate blocks the latest aid deal.

And with this shitehawk, gobshite "interview" airing in a few days, the bams will stop any further aid too.

Time for the rest of NATO and the EU to show they can continue alone without the USA.

The USA can no longer be trusted.

Zaluzhnyi and Zelensky had been arguing for a while, so this has been in the works for ages.

We'll see if the new guy makes any radical changes.

A few guys on twitter I follow who are in Ukraine or ex forces weren"t impressed with Syrskyi and that was over a year ago . Main complaint was his Soviet outlook on war . 

 

Time will tell but at the moment they need ammo ..

Putin being interviewed by citizen Haw-Haw is going to air tonight, I don't think I will watch it, think I might vomit if I did.

 

The Kremlin had its pick of the press corps to conduct Russian President Vladimir Putin’s first one-on-one interview with a Western media figure since he ordered the invasion of Ukraine in 2022.

 

But rather than have Putin sit down with The New York Times or NBC News, the BBC or Le Monde, it provided access to Tucker Carlson, who posts his videos to X and his self-named website.

 

The reason Vladimir Putin sat down with Tucker Carlson is obvious — and important
 

There is no one besides Carlson — save perhaps for Donald Trump — who has done more to boost Russia’s image inside the GOP.

I want to throw up even watching this far less the interview, an interview in which even the Kremlin admits the piece of shit Carlson is lying.

In what other era would what he is doing allow him back into the country without threat of arrest? Not only giving the dictator a platform for his leis, but lying with him.

 

Tucker Carlson's BONKERS explanation for interviewing Putin

EU's trying to rush through a travel ban for Carlson, which means he can't fly through their airspace or enter any EU nation.

There have been perhaps understandable concerns about the change in Ukraine's  military leadership which has been discussed last few weeks and confirmed yesterday. Quite a lot of negative talk about it. 

 

But Tucker Carlson seems to have united everyone today.

I think I'm correct in remembering that the only time NATO has mobilised, after one of it's members was attacked, was to support the US after 9/11.

Correct. Article 5 has only been invoked once, after 9/11.

Putin is nuts and clearly our of touch with reality. His view on history is ludicrous. Tucker Carlson is clearly a moron and a fool. 

 

Sadly, this is what happens when America has a weak as piss President that doesn't know what time of the day it is. 

 

What that interview underlined though is that Putin will not stop. Therefore the end game looks ****ing terrifying to be honest.

Russia is having limited success as it's given up trying to use modern military tactics and has instead fallen back to WW2 style meat wave tactics, simply throwing unsupported infantry at the enemy until they run out of ammo.
They're increasing their attacks right now because there is an "election" in March where Putin will miraculously take a 95% vote share.

The commanders are desperate to have some sort of victory to show him before that, so he can run on a "we're winning the war" ticket.

 

Recent footage has shown destroyed Russian T-62 and T-55 tanks.

Even if they were only being used in an artillery role, this does show that they're being forced to deploy decades old vehicles out of deep storage.

Their T-80 and T-72 fleets have been seriously depleted and their artillery systems are running out of barrels (hence the older tanks being used as artillery).

The Baltic nations are warning that Russia still has ambitions to form a land corridor to link the Kaliningrad exclave, which means attacking NATO nations directly.

The West is sleepwalking into disaster and has to pull its head out its erse and give Ukraine whatever it needs to remove the Russian threat to Europe.

Yes it does. And, probably, no it won't.

Incredible footage of close quarters fighting with British, Yanks and Canadians fighting for Ukraine. At 12:45 mins a Russian reporter/press guy panics and runs right into the wrong trench much to the Brit soldier's shock. 

 

It's from the summertime so apologies if already posted.

 

Any gory scenes have been censored.

Sorry but it looks like it has now been removed from X, maybe Elon doesn't like seeing the Russians getting beat.

On the contrary, bits of it will be gradually making it back to shore over the next few weeks.

It's a curious one. In normal times you might expect a reaction in Russia from the opposition. But seems Putin is completely in control.

 

Not much reaction from Ukraine though they will use it if possible. Navalny mostly seen there as anti Ukraine Russian nationalist.

Listening to some coverage on the radio, it made me wonder whether Putin actually goes along in person to watch them 'feel unwell' and 'lose consciousness' or if he just gets sent an MP4 file of it happening.

Probably another exposure to Novichok.

The only surprise is that it took them so long to murder him.

He was never getting out alive .. he certainly was a Russia nationalist and  he changed to a more moderate figure to gain support from the west .

 

Boris Nemtsov was probably more a threat to Putin and he was unsurprisingly shot by Kadyrov's associates.

I’ve never understood why Navalny went back to Russia, from Germany, after his hospital treatment there. He must have known that he’d be sent away somewhere remote to shut him up. 
I suppose he had his reasons.

Looks like Avdiivka is properly in the shite now.

The town is long and narrow, running from the north west to the south east.

 

Russia failed to full encircle the town, being stopped by the huge fortified chemical plant in the north and by their own ineptitude in the south.

They then tried to assault the town directly from the south east, through the industrial park. They had limited success here after finding a pipeline big enough to sneak troops through but this was closed off and the attack stalled.

Russia then attacked just south of the chemical plant and seems to have used infantry meat wave tactics to force their way through the narrow band of residential housing to reach the main road. With Avdiivka being long and narrow, this main road is the ONLY main supply line, which is now impassable.

Several units of Ukrainians are now cut off and are trying to break out and withdraw to the north.

They're being hit hard by the Russian air force as well as having to deal with meat wave infantry assaults from all sides.

The Russians don't seem to mind bombing their own troops, as they're hitting their own positions too.

 

Putin will have his wee town capture victory just in time for the "election".

But it's cost him tens of thousands of dead.

Not that he cares about that.

 

We'll see how the new head of the Ukrainian armed forces deals with this deteriorating situation. Big test for him just a few days into the job.
Maybes he'll write off the loss as being the fault of the previous guy.

Or maybe he'll pull off some sort of counter attack to rescue the town.

Interesting perspective. Russia has been fighting for Avdiivka for 10 years since 2014 and you make that out as a success.

 

Not everyone thinks the new chief of armed forces is rubbish.

Navalny should have stayed in Germany with his wife, I was sort of mad at him for going back there, because both he and I knew what would happen. It made no sense.

 

But that's me, he obviously thought differently and perhaps with reason. Chances are they would have continued to try to kill him even in Germany, novichok on the door knobs whatever which he may have thought would be a risk to his family.

 

Perhaps he went back to protect them, whatever the case may be this was a brave man and now a Russian martyr. His wife has spoken from Munich. She's obviously distressed and not even entirely sure he is dead since Putin lies so much.

 

Alexei Navalny’s wife of 24 years vowed Friday that President Vladimir Putin “will be brought to justice” over the “horrific news” of her husband’s death in custody.

 

Looking distraught but stoic at the Munich Security Conference in Germany, Yulia Navalnaya, 47, said she could not be certain her husband was dead because “Putin and his government… lie constantly.”

 

But if Navalny were indeed dead, she said, Putin and his cohorts “will be punished for what they have done to our country, for what they have done to my family, for what they have done to my husband.”

They need to ask Trump what he thinks, that would be a hard one for agent orange since he's a Putin puppet.

General Petraeus is just surprised Navalny lived so long which is fair comment. Didn't take them anything like so long to whack Prigozhin when he stepped out of line. But then he was still on the loose, still free to talk shit, Navalny was contained.

 

“In a way I’m surprised that he lived as long as he did.”

General Petraeus reacts to reports of the “tragic” death of Putin’s main opposition leader Alexei Navalny on #TimesRadio.

Great speech from Romney.

 

Romney: If your position is being cheered by Vladimir Putin, it’s time to reconsider your position

 

We are not being asked to send American troops into war, only to help the Ukrainians defend themselves. If we fail to help Ukraine, Putin will invade a NATO nation. Ukraine is not the end, it is a step—and letting Putin have his way with Europe would jeopardize our security.
