2022-10-24 at 9:29 PM UTC in Military Genius Zelensky wants Ukrainians to throw molotovs at Russian tanks
The real Rubicon moment was when Elektrozavodsk on the coast fell, the seat of industry for the entire area. The attack had been planned meticulously and carried out with military precision, but it took several days to bring down a city that had prepared itself against invasion in advance. All over the world people were already panicking, especially those who had not yet heard anything about what was happening. That meant everyone except the Russians themselves, who knew better than anyone else how long this would take.
When they did finally begin to hear about it, the shock was profound. The news of the fall of Elektro changed the front forever. It weakened the Ukrainian forces fighting in the south and stopped them from moving forward, while at the same time turning a potential disaster into a triumph. They had taken the offensive from the enemy instead of defending their own territory. Even more importantly, they had destroyed one of their critical supply lines.
Elektro's loss was not without consequences for the Russians however as much of their armour had been destroyed or turned back in the attack. In addition, the battle inflicted heavy losses upon the ground forces. There were no precise numbers available, but it is estimated that at least half the Russian troops involved in the offensive lost their lives during the fighting. For the Ukrainians it was a crushing blow. Their land army had always been considered inferior to its Russian counterpart. Now it had suffered a decisive defeat.
Despite all efforts by the government in Kiev to stop the panic spreading among the population and the Ukrainian soldiers engaged in the war, the situation became increasingly chaotic. The president ordered his ministers to do whatever was necessary to reduce the chaos, and to calm the fears of the populace.
There were reports of looting and violence in Kiev, yet we didn't hear that the capital began to resemble a lawless place. I'm sure there were some individuals who acted irresponsibly, but the majority of the citizens stayed within the limits of the law. They were just as afraid of an invasion as the rest of us, but they were more than willing to allow the government to deal with the problem.
There were rumours and suspicions that the government would declare martial law in the whole country. This was seen by many as a move which only deepened the sense of insecurity, and did nothing to reassure people. People feared that their freedoms would be restricted even further if martial law was declared.
I don't know whether the rumours were true or not, because we never heard anything directly from either the government in Kiev or from the commanders on the front line. It was probably impossible for the authorities to make any announcements in such a situation anyway. The most important information was passed on by radio communication between the different commands. If there was something serious happening, then the generals would pass the message along to their subordinates through the chain of command.
Some of the rumours were also caused by the fact that the eastern Ukraine was no longer under the control of the government in Kiev. Those regions didn't really feel like part of the rest of the country anymore. Some were loyal enough to the state, but not to the central government. Others wanted independence, and actively opposed the government in Kiev.
It was clear that the situation was getting worse, and that the fighting had moved to a new level. The attacks against the western Ukrainian forces reached unprecedented levels. Both sides had become convinced that the other could no longer be defeated.
Kiev decided to send reinforcements to the front. They included more armoured vehicles and aircraft. The air force had been badly depleted during the battles around Donetsk, and now even more planes were needed to support the army.
This was perhaps the worst decision of all. More men, weapons and equipment were brought to the front than ever before. It increased the number of losses on both sides, but did little to improve the overall situation.
The Russian government sent a large contingent of armoured vehicles and tanks to reinforce the eastern independent Ukrainian forces. The main purpose of this deployment was to prevent the Ukrainian forces from breaking through to the Crimea. The two armies met in the area around Kharkov and fought a bitter battle that lasted for several weeks.
We didn't hear anything about these battles until later, after they ended. At the time the news from Kiev was that the government had finally managed to push back the invaders, and that the city of Kharkiv had fallen to the Ukrainian forces. We saw photographs of victorious parades through the streets of the city.
Of course the photos were staged, but the people didn't know that. They were happy to see the soldiers marching proudly through the streets, while the city was being rebuilt after the fighting.
By the time we realised that the celebrations were fake, it was too late. The reality behind the scenes was very different. The Russian forces had captured Kharkov, and now the Ukrainian army had retreated from the area.

2022-10-23 at 11:02 PM UTC in Military Genius Zelensky wants Ukrainians to throw molotovs at Russian tanksHoly shit I've seen on some telegram channels that Russia have started the invasion of Austria-Hungary. I can't believe it, but they seem to be doing a good job so far. They're already taken most of Vienna and are advancing into Hungary from there. And to make matters worse, the Germans have joined them! Their combined forces now control large parts of Austria and some of Hungary! The Austro-Hungarian Empire is finished for sure.

Originally posted by slide22 Fuck this shit. Why should we get into Nuclear War over the cousin nation of Russia. this is nothing more than a fucking Civil War.
The USA and EU and UN and NATO should shut their cunt mouths and let Russia fail on its own and not accuse the USA and the west of Proxy warring by supplying Ukraine.
Im tired of this world of police shit. unless its on your own border and the potential of pushing over, Leave it the fuck alone. Let Poland deal with it but not as NATO representitives
Let the UN go in. but the President should get on the little red phone to Moscow and say "hey, We're not in this.. so don't talk about us or target us and we'll stay out of it"
simple as that.
Yeah but the liches that own the west can make lots of money off of it and that's worth a billion or more lives to them. -
