Putin promises Russian war recruits long vacations if they fight for him​

That way he does not need to pay them ("fight for me"). Ruzzian dumb people read the little footnote at the end...

He also expected all of them to be here at the end:

Mr. Community
New electricity supply contracts in Germany are signed for prices well above one Euro per kw/h. I'm "lucky" I'm still paying like 30 Cent, because my supplier has a larger percentage of green energy anyways. But AFAIK, this same supplier is among those that are charging new customers like €1.20. Shit's fucked up.

Holy sheet. I pay 26cent and can’t believe how high that is.

Well at least she has her support for Ukraine, and the Russians being super pissed she was elected, going for her:


Any realistic UK leader would support Ukraine. Just as with Johnson, many of us Brits would rather not these really rather nasty, selfish, incompetent people be celebrated. But I digress too much.

The neverending glory of Juche never ceases to progress the great goals of the supreme leader!

Juche stresses equality and mutual respect among nations, asserting that every state has the right to self-determination.[30] Yielding to foreign pressure or intervention would violate the principle of political independence and threaten a country's ability to defend its sovereignty

🤷‍♂️

Tearing down a Soviet flag. Importantly, it's near Izyum, which means Ukraine has made serious gains around Kharkiv, and on toward Donesk. This confirms they are pushing in both the north and south. In both cases Russia has been caught flat footed or so disorganized they can't muster a defense.

I don't think the middle of the front will drop soon, but collapse can happen quick - but definitely good signs for Ukraine.

Looks like a full route by Russia. Hopefully Ukraine doesn't over extend but honestly it appears to be complete disarray by Russia, equipment left behind, poor morale, poorly equipped soldiers.

Hope they run away until they out from the Ukraine. Including the Crimea.

From the articles posted here seems the orcs were aware of the Ukrainians amassing forces.

It’s feeling like they’re fail cascading, indeed.

You also have scenes like this (sorry, dead orcs).



They are overrun here. There are other videos by this Russian beforehand and they are so casual and unprepared. If this is indicative of the state of their lines then yeah... Feels like something has changed.

According to reports, the VEB has provided Russia's largest chipmaker Mikron Group with 7 billion rubles in assistance as part of a loan that has a time period of ten years and uses the chip company's manufacturing equipment as collateral. Mikron is among the oldest chip companies in the world, and it is another relic of Russia's Soviet past that saw the company set up in 1964.

In terms of manufacturing technologies and processes, Mikron is far behind its global counterparts, and reports suggest that it kicked off mass production of the 65 nanometer manufacturing process node in 2020. For comparison, the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) started to manufacture 65 nm chips in 2005, and Intel Corporation started its 65 nm production in 2007.

Additionally, despite the fact that it manufactures older nodes. Mikron is believed to have a production capacity of only 6,000 wafers per month according to today's report. Coupled with the fact that older nodes constrain a chip wafer in terms of the number of chips that can be squeezed into it, the limited production capacity places an extra premium on Mikron's chips.7

7 billion rubles is about $114 million USD. A pathetic amount of money to develop a new process node. Even if it's something as old as a 55nm or 45nm, with planar transistors.
Then there is the absurd amount of corruption in Russia, so these 114 million, will be cut much shorter.

Where's the loser that was saying in this thread Ukraine offensive wasn't doing anything and Russians were pushing them back?
I find disgusting this concern trolling, more so, that there is a person here, who is in seperatist controlled area

How they are even able to power up any army is beyond me, they don't even have 2x the GDP of The Netherlands which is tiny as hell.

Now imagine all of EU and US supporting Ukraine, yea good luck russia.
Always amazing how a country with 140 million people, the biggest land mass in the world by far, endless natural resources to help industry and government coffers, yet the country is so messed up.

That's what you get with shady governments

Just imagine what Netherlands would do for their people and economy if they had Russia's land.
