Speaking of clowns, Mikulyak looks like the only thing he would be good at, especially militarily, would be a One-Man Meat Assault. If he survives, I see a future for him as the Incredibly Obese Vanka Vstanka in a Cirque du Soleil show called "The Fantastical Banderists!"

Yup, after seeing the picture, I thought the only battalion that fat fuck would ever have been able to command is on a mobile phone game.

"But later it occurred to, the question applies to the Russians. Where is their Patton?"

He was killed by a drone after 7 minutes of the attack, sitting in his personal personnel carrier twiddling his pearl-handled revolvers.

LOL. I love it. But we can never replace George C Scott.

"The fact of the matter is Ukrainians are losing and things are getting worse and worse and the Nazis are getting desperate."

Indeed a clear sign of this...

"I mean, how can Hollywood make a movie about this?"

Now you mention it, that would be a fine challenge for an ambitious director. Contrasting the war of stealth and sudden stabbing attacks with the conventional war of tanks and aircraft. Taking the audience into the world of fear and caution, where drones may appear at any moment - each a flying Terminator. Showing how that unguarded email or phone call to tell your family you are still alive could lead to you not being alive five minutes later.

The propaganda is so ludicrous that the Ukrainians don't even listen to it or read it, they can't, no electricity!!

Thank you for the summary of what is happening in and around the remainders of the country soon to be without a name or land.

I scratch all words and look at the 5 parties: gotta use some words for that.

1. Mother Russia also known as Putin or SMO.

2. The Neo-Nazi's or Banderites, the small group of murderers receiving Money and Weapons, trying to hurt Mother Russia and kill any remaining memory of Russia.

3. The remnants of the hopelessly lost mass of inhabitants in the diaspora or even still at home or deceased, which almost no one thinks about.

4. The remnants of the Grim MAGA movement, still led by Trump, trying to win the midterms under high pressure from the Zionist Monsters, trying to confuse all about his real intentions

5.The Dark Empire of Granbretan, also known as 'Brussels' or 'EU', or 'NATO' also known as the Witches' nest. Including the tentacles in the 'US'.

The main powers are 1. and 5. in that order.

OK ?

What is de main-battle and what kind of battle can we await ?

Main-battle: US-Midterms: will MAGA win support in Congress and Senate ? Or will its revolutionary fiery nature be quenched and a dream been evaporated as a wimp of mist in the morning sun and we can expect a new Neocon/Straussian/Zionist President in 2028-2029...

the 5. force has almost completely taken off its gloves. And that can even become worse.

But the 1. Mother Russia has shown her BARE hands also, or at least the signals of it.

I cannot see past this main-battle. The rest will be simple: When the NAZI's do not lose their hold on the Clown, the country will end. Nothing, Just the main-part returning to Mother Russia, maybe some old parts of Poland and other countries will be returned under strict rules of security, there will be a temporary government to make a constitution followed by elections. And if that new government is able to end the NAZI-heritage, the Northern part can become a separate country, or even a part of Russia, like other republics.

The Dark Empire (5.) will try to disturb this process. And it has the Power to do that.

I cannot sense what will happen in the US. And that is of enormous influence.

If we look at the conflict in a technical way. I'd say it's anything but boring. The constant attempts by the Western rulers in their cordinated propaganda bullshit. Supported by their vassel MSM outlets. Is the most predictable action of this conflict. But the different evolving ways to weaken the opponent in different ways. How they're implimented in many ways is new. The different types of drones, the ways they're getting success is very interesting. For me anyway.

Actually, when I said "boring"....I was being facetious. For me, also, it is anything but boring. From a military and technological point of view it is anything but. It is only boring for those brain-dead hacks who call themselves "journalists" in the West, whose mentality is conditioned by video games.

"..The war in Ukraine is now mostly drone warfare and relatively small groups of (Russian) soldiers infiltrating.." You didn't need the bracket bit. The Ukies are doing the same to a lesser degree and mostly for different objectives. (sticking up a flag somewhere) But they must have used similar tactics to regain the territory lost in the Russian push north of Pokrovsk and what seems to be going on in Rodinskoe. (At one stage it appeared that the Russians had just about cleared the whole town). The Ukrainian soldiers do seem to be doing the best they can in the circumstances. And to think it is all such a pointless war - Minsk 1 and 2 and Istanbul...

Yes, the Ukrainians try the same thing but as you point out "to a lesser degree and mostly for different objectives". For one thing they lack artillery and armor. However, they are limited by Zelensky's insistence on territory, taking it and keeping it no matter what. Once they have taken a town or village they hunker down wherever they can find shelter, so the Russians play whack a mole, while cutting off supplies. The Russians may take a town, clear it, and then the Ukrainians now return to the empty town where they are slaughtered once again. The Russians are fighting an attritional war. The Ukrainians are fighting a war for territory following NATO instructions.

Yep, but as you point out, Zelensky is very much doing what his Nato/US bosses are demanding of him. He might concur but I'm not sure he has much choice. If Nato/US sees war in terms of territory he has to play it by their rules. He is very much in Frederick the Great's situation, hoping for a miraculous deliverance! Cheers.

German MSM are horrible. At least five articles how clever Ukranians are, Flamingo success everywhere against one which speaks about problems on the front. At least in some media now we can write som critical opinions, whnile other censor or even ban you.

I agree the German MSM are horrible. But they have a lot of competition. The Brits, for example. The Canadians, too.

Be careful of the German MSM, it is owned by the same people that own the British and other media systems.

Always remember: watch what the likes of Merkel and Merz do: because the media is always putting words into their mouths that they did not utter.

Even alternative media sources believe these lies.
