Another of these clips from the front posted by a Russian soldier on their Telegram channel that boggles the mind of a Western professional soldier. In spite of the Russian Army trying to crack down on the use of cell phones, many such clips continue to be posted.

This is a Russian infantry squad walking through the remains of a Russian mechanized infantry assault. It is clear that the Ukrainians have likely withdrawn if for no other reason, these troops are not under fire. Their fellow infantrymen are lying dead everywhere, and nothing has been done to recover them. More importantly, many, perhaps most, of these casualties almost certainly didn't drop instantly killed. Thanks to body armor, there would have been any number with life threatening wounds to the abdomen, legs, and arms. It is easy to conclude nothing was done to evacuate the seriously wounded. If he couldn't walk or crawl away, he lay there and died. Some mother or wife in Russia may never know what happened to her son or husband.

Horrific! And it's all on the War Criminal Putin's hands! We, the EU, other non aligned FREE nations around the World need to step up and provide whatever Ukraine needs to defeat Putin's mentally ill fantasy that is destroying Ukraine and killing countless civilians in Ukraine and soldiers on both sides. The money? Take it out of Putin's and Iran's billions in frozen funds around the world to fund the support for Ukraine. WE can spend billions now or several TRILLION later if Russia takes over Ukraine and abuts up against the eastern flank of NATO countries. I have more "rant" later, but I just got off work a couple of hours ago and need to take a siesta. LOL Adios!

That might be partly true, but I can also guarantee you there is more than just leftist progressives in the government right now who are frustrated with the way this operation has been conducted.

Exactly.
There are even jews in the Democratic party who are frustrated with the operation and Netenyahu.

20 Billion dollar demand...
Take sanctions off Venezuela...
Legalize illegal aliens in US...

If we only had a President who would stand up to this. Neighbor to the south firing off demands to ne met or they will continue to push the migrants across.

This demand for $20 billion a year from south of the border should please the Globalists and other neo-interventionalists. The wealth transfer continues. .....FWB

Good old fashioned reporting of the facts. You’ve got to appreciate the BBC!

The BBC can be (just about) trusted so long as politics is not involved

I, and many here in the UK, will not look to them for honest, unbiased, news reporting

Victoria Nuland's comments a couple of months ago saying, " Moscow should expect Surprises on the battlefield", followed by her sudden and unexpected retirement certainly add to the speculation many have. Certainly a poor choice of wording and timing considering what happened.

A poor choice of words only in conspiracy land. None of the CIA officers I have known (quite a few) would continence a terrorist attack on civilians in Moscow as a battlefield surprise. A strategic campaign against Russia’s refining infrastructure would be another matter.

The classified documents issue with Biden, Pence and Trump is interesting. Senator's and VP’s have no executive authority to declassify an operation, event, or documents. Only the executive himself does.

So the media keeps regurgitating the same BS.

Pence and Biden were good little boys and turned the documents over.

The fact they turned them over does not negate the fact that they committed a felony by removing them in the first place.

There are many here that dealt with sensitive information and still do. It was pounded into our heads when we first learned the rules early In our careers. Then again for each operation, task or training with new equipment Etc.

When you go into a specific task oriented group you are almost threatened by the consequences of sharing anything. Then when you leave you sign a stack of documents. And they say in effect. You will go somewhere very bad for a very long time if you run your lips.

So we lowly peons in the military go to prison for talking about anything, let alone, taking a document and showing it around. Or having them piled up behind our corvette for crackheads to read.

My appraisal of this issue is Biden and Pence had zero right to take documents out of a skif and have them in their house. They are sworn to the same constitution and have zero additional rights under that constitution than I do.

The President on the other hand does have the authority to declassify. The legal issue he has, is if he shared it with people he shouldn’t have.

This whole classified documents issue should be about the larger issue. These three buffoons are the ones that got caught. Apparently it’s widely known that senator's, VP’s, and Presidents have been doing this for decades. An illegal act that an E-1 would go to prison for.

I agree with you but i also think there’s another layer to this. Classification is a system set by the federal bureaucracy. The President is the duly elected highest office. I’m not saying rules don’t apply, but I think it’s ridiculous that some bureaucrat have that kind of power over the president. President having handwave declassification powers is fine.

Personally I don’t get why the president even deals with this stuff. He should have at least one full time document keeper anyway properly trained on storage and retention of documents that need to be kept secure.

Trumps Truth Social goes public. Stock is soaring trading on NASDAQ.

Let the wailing commence.....LOL

jews in the Democratic party

I think that is part of the issue. The behavior of the democratic party after Oct 7th, I am not sure how any Jewish person could say they are a proud Democrat.

Their analysis teams on checking and finding out what happened in certain situations are pretty good....

So where is all this electricity going to come from.....

Data centre power use 'to surge six-fold in 10 years'

Spike, I think that’s what Kevin O’Leary brought up when he discussed investment in the state of New York. He and others were looking at a location to build data centers, and Niagara area was being looked at because of the electric capacity, and that group went elsewhere because of the political and tax climate.

Unfortunately, I think the best place for these huge data centers are offshore. If the tax trends continue as they are. Eat the rich mentality is coming back.

Another situation that wouldn't be happening under a Trump Presidency.

Trump could crush the Mexican economy with the stroke of a pen.

When you have a country divided. The government lying about numerous things, breeding conspiracy's . The media with massive bias. The CIA involved in numerous countries elections since the Italian election of 1947. The Obama Administration, DOS and CIA heavily involved in the Arab Spring. The Obama administration meddling in Ukraine and wanting to topple Yanukovych. The DOS in the person of Victoria Nuland, heavily involved in the Ukraine Maidan Revolution in 2014, saying that "Moscow should expect surprises on the battlefield", then within a month unexpectedly retiring then a couple days after her retirement, a massacre. Yes, it is an unfortunate choice of words and timing. Not only in conspiracy land in a divided country but for our allies and undecideds around the world. Unfortunately, the sentiment I am getting as far away as Tanzania is that the attack was a CIA operation. I doubt Tanzanian's are the only ones that feel that way. When you meddle in other countries affairs long enough, you loose credibility everywhere. Not just in conspiracy land.

I am not saying it was a CIA operation. I just said it was a poor choice of words.
